Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Riding on a steed, a general armor suit, with strong confidence on his face, Gedan under Vientiane City is very proud at this moment, and his expression means supercilious. .

Next to Gedan is the former Vietnam star Fan Yuhai. This repeatedly defeated man is like a ghost. He will always make the right choice on the battlefield. He has escaped the mercenary’s pursuit and punishment.

This time Siam sent troops, Fan Yuhai followed him, and brought five thousand elite cavalry under him.

After the elimination, the remaining five thousand people are undoubtedly the elite of the elite. If you use Yang Chendong’s evaluation criteria, it has already exceeded the Level 2 army standard, and it is moving towards the First class army.

“General Fan, look at this Vientiane City, how long can my army take to break through?” With an expression of incomprehensibility, Godan always raised his neck when he spoke. To match his identity.

“Brother general, the Siamese army are all elite divisions, the small Vientiane city that’s all, which should be won within three days.” Fan Yuhai’s face showed a gentle color. , It seems even a little low-key, far from the publicity of Gedan, but even so, he also has dazzling rays of light, which is not to be underestimated.

“hahaha.” Hearing Fan Yuhai’s answer, Gedan laughed loudly, “Okay, just borrow General Fan’s auspicious words. Come on, the whole army will charge and try to attack Vientiane City within three days, when the time comes allows you to grab the city for one day.”

The so-called one day for grabbing the city means that within one day after the city is breached, the heart can be grabbed by the soldiers at will, as long as it is grabbed It’s yours and doesn’t need to be turned in. This is a special reward for the soldiers below.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

After the soldiers heard the benefits promised by the general, they roared loudly, bursting out powerful fighting intents and Morale.

On the south gate tower of Vientiane City, the governor of Laos, Luan Xiaochen, is extending the hand with his arm on the battlements, his eyes are looking towards the hundred thousand Siamese army under the city.

The speed of the Siamese Army’s emergence is far beyond Luan Xiaochen’s imagination. But he was not afraid, not to mention the strong confidence that Yang Chendong gave him, even he himself has strong confidence at the moment. The source of all this is the Cold Front of a company beside him, the auxiliary soldiers of the two battalions, and the 10,000 Lao mercenaries headed by General He Guang.

There is a strong city to stop, and there are more than ten thousand strong troops beside him, Luan Xiaochen has no reason to be afraid of the hundred thousand Siamese Army. Not to mention, it won’t take long for what happened here to reach Sixth Young Master’s ears. He only needs to hold on for a while, and reinforcements will arrive, and that is the time of victory.

“Everyone is ready for battle. The Cold Front and auxiliary soldiers aim and fight. Whoever dares to approach the catapult will be killed.” Standing under the gate tower, he is only 18 years old. Luan Xiaochen expression in his Luan Xiaochen expression is shining brightly, and his body is like a fighting intent. He had the experience of training auxiliary soldiers in Chihkan City, and he also participated in the war as a political instructor during the battle of Ryukyu Islands. He is no longer a war boy. Not only is he not afraid at this moment, but he has a full fighting intent and imposing manner.

The Cold Front and the auxiliary soldiers on the gate tower, after getting the order, immediately looked for the most grasping shooting position and aimed at the catapult that was slowly pushing forward.

The catapult, a siege weapon that has existed for a long time, has always been a must to break through the fortified city. They can throw huge stones in an instant, and when they fall to the ground, they can cause extremely serious destructive power, which is extremely useful whether it is to suppress the enemy’s attack or destroy the opponent’s defense.

Of course, such a weapon of war also has his fatal weakness. For example, if the attack distance is too close, usually after one mile of the ground, the strength will decrease, and it will not be able to exert its advantages. For example, the inaccuracy when attacking the target is often thrown out of a stone, and the flight will not be within the expected direction. In many cases, it still depends on luck.

But even so, the catapult is still widely used. Without it, it’s just because this technology is too simple, and usually used by the military of a small country, it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to make it like artillery. Even if Chihkan City is good enough, the current arsenal is still unable to produce artillery. The strongest thing is that it can make some grenades and mines. All the artillery they use now comes from the warehouse.

Fortunately, after the arsenal of Chihkan City got the advanced books given by Yang Chendong, there is no problem in making artillery shells of various calibers. Artillery research has also made progress. I believe that only time is given. The birth of artillery is only a matter of time earlier and later.

The Siamese Army does not have artillery, and the mercenaries who stay in Vientiane City do not have artillery either. Such a formidable power is huge. Unless they have a strong military strength, Yang Chendong is not worried about them. Put it anywhere. Otherwise, once the matter leaks out, it will not help Laos Province but harm Laos Province. There must be people who will do everything possible to find a way. The probability of being targeted will only be higher.

There are no artillery, but there are still ten forty rocket launchers, hundreds of shells, and many grenades and mines. It was like a landmine that was buried by Luan Xiaochen, 300 metres away from the south city gate of Vientiane. That was what he took the entire Cold Front to arrange at night, but many officials in the provincial government didn’t know about this.

At a distance of 300 metres, an explosion will not affect the soldiers defending the city, and it can also kill the enemy, which is really great.

But these are just a method, what really depends on is the performance of both sides on the battlefield. How to prevent the opponent’s catapult from approaching and not let it play its due role is the important part of the city defense. The most important.

One mile is 500 metres. At this distance, if it is a cold weapon battle, there is usually no way. As the defensive party, no matter what kind of bow and arrow it takes to shoot such a long distance, he can only shrink his head and let the other party fight. Anyway, the other party can’t fight correctly. Everything is luck.

The same thing happens to mercenaries, it’s different. They have Type 95 and Type 81 Assault Rifle. These can easily reach six hundred meters away, and naturally there will be a control catapult. The ability to do now is to prevent the opponent from approaching.

Luan Xiaochen issued the order. The Cold Front and the auxiliary soldiers who were in charge of the first batch of strike qualifications each looked for the best position, one by one, waiting for the enemy’s catapult to slow down. Slowly approach.

In the line of sight, the catapult with huge wooden wheels is slowly approaching. As long as they get close to a certain level, you can hit the boulders. Let’s not talk about the effect, at least there is an imposing manner, and then when your soldiers charge with all their strength, good luck mounts the ladder, maybe you can attack it once. gate tower. Even if you are unlucky, you can fight a distance war. In the end, it depends on which side is weak, and the other side will become the winner.

“seven hundred meters …”

“Six hundred and fifty meters …”

A Cold Front soldier keeps on relying on precise eyesight He made a judgment, and the voice he shouted fell into the ears of other comrades.

Even seven hundred meters can be completely shot and reached with the muskets in their hands. But they do it in pursuit of accuracy, not at all. What they want is not to say nothing, amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.

“Six hundred 20 meters…six hundred meters, hit!”

Finally reached the best shooting range, and suddenly the gunshots rang out, because it was daytime, I couldn’t see the light appearing so clearly, but the sound of the gunfire was endless, and then I saw a Siamese soldier next to the catapult, as if they had been enchanted, and fell to the ground one by one. past.

“en? Is this the formidable power of the new burst musket? It’s really good.” General Gedan, who was riding on the horse, squinted his eyes first, then turned from surprise to excitement. .

Before coming, the military had obtained some information about mercenaries, and things like muskets could not be hidden from them. Later, I saw Fan Yuhai again, which was considered to have a better understanding of the situation. The first time I saw it, it really shocked him, but it also fully activated the greed in his heart.

In the eyes of Gedan, he has led hundreds of soldiers this time, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind him that can be mobilized, just to deal with a Vientiane city with only more than ten thousand guards, it is like a cannon hitting mosquitoes Generally easy is. Even when he thought about it, it should be that as soon as he arrived with a large army, that arrogance would shake the mercenaries and surrender immediately.

The discovery of the matter is not at all According to my imagination, my brother is not so disappointed. Dissatisfied? Want to fight? Then hit until you are served, hit until you can’t fight. Looking at the posture of a victor, the enemy’s things will eventually be his own. Doesn’t that mean that after he wins, these bursts of muskets will become one of his trophies?

I thought that once I had these and added the number of troops, wouldn’t it be necessary to become an Invincible Master? At that time, the Kingdom of Siam would inevitably become the core of this region and enjoy being like Great Ming is the same as the glorious situation in Korea. As the general who made the first contribution among them, wouldn’t he be so powerful and respected by everyone?

Golden, who was still in a state of fantasy, was quickly interrupted by Fan Yuhai’s voice from the side, “Brother General, you see, the mercenary’s formidable power of burst muskets is very big and very Accurate, it’s time to send the Iron Shield soldiers.”

Fan Yuhai, as always, told the country of Siam about the secret that iron shields can block guns, just like telling them that they have been destroyed. The Kingdom of Lao is the same. At the beginning, he made a Hanoi City offensive and defensive battle, and now he has to do the same for Vientiane City. The difference is that Luan Xiaochen, who is also the governor of the province, is very careful. He controls every city gate and makes them want a sneak attack to no avail, so they have to just and honorable siege the city.
