Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 481: Second Battalion Commander, stand down!
"The bold Chu bandits dare to attack the lower states and counties under the command of the Shuhou of my Han Dynasty. Retreat immediately and apologize, otherwise it will be too late to regret!" Wu Jing yelled at Qutang Pass.

When Huang Zhong heard this, his face darkened and he said: "Our troops from the Great Chu Heavenly Kingdom have arrived. It is really stupid to resist stubbornly! This certain person is... Huang Zhong, the commander of the Xinye [-]st Division, a common name for thieves!"

Wu Jing didn't understand what "Commander of the First Division of Xinye" was, but he also guessed that it might be an official position.

"Oh, as expected, Jingchu is a remote and remote place, and there are so many messy official positions... division commander? What is it? Hahaha... Listen, I am the guard general of Qutang Pass, and the general of Yufu Zhonglang is Wu Jing!"

"Yizhou Xiaoxiao, do you dare to come down and fight?" Huang Zhong shouted.

At this time, Wei Yan fired the engine from the side and came out of the formation and said: "Sir Huang... Commander, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. I, the deputy commander..."

Before Wei Yan could finish speaking, a young general who was even more stunned and younger than him sputtered out his engine and said, "Wouldn't it be that these two officers are betraying their identities by fighting against these thieves? At the end of the day... cough, Liao Hua, commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, invites you to fight!"

Liao Hua, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, joined the Chu army shortly after the founding of the Chu State and passed the Naxian Hall martial arts examination.

At this time, neither the [-]st Xinye Division nor the [-]st Wancheng Division had formal brigades, and both directly administered seven or eight regiments.

"How can you dare to fight to the death? I...I won't help you for the time being! If you are brave, you can come up and fight, hahaha..." Wu Jing smiled heartily.

go down?

when i'm stupid?

However, at this moment, Huang Zhong directly put on armor and took out a cannon. Even the second battalion commander Liao Hua didn't even need to do anything, and directly blasted Wu Jing with a cannon!

The artillery has not yet been exposed, and... with the topography of the Three Gorges, unless the plank road along the mountain is completely built, it will be difficult to transport even field artillery, let alone catapults.

However, the Qi cannon loaded by Huang Zhong himself is not subject to this restriction, and Huang Zhong's original heavy crossbow also seems to be a cannon type. Anyway, it has been loaded into the armor, so there is no need to worry about being seen...

Wu Jing also didn't expect that at this distance, he could still hit him?

When Huang Zhong put on armor and pointed the dark muzzle at himself, Wu Jing's heart trembled, but his inner logic calmed him down.

Then... he was completely calm, and as peaceful as water - his entire upper body was spread evenly across the joints, and he was indistinguishable from a bodyguard behind him.

Before loading, the Qi Cannon had no explosive shells or explosion effects, but a pure impact. After loading, the same was true, but the impact was much greater.

Killed Wu Jing instantly!
The garrison behind closed doors was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening - General?What about our great general?Clearly far beyond the safe distance...

At the same time, Wei Yan also shouted: "Come to the group first! Follow me!"

I saw Wei Yan personally leading the second regiment directly under him, nicknamed "Xian Deng". At this time, following Wei Yan, people with shields on their arms, grappling hooks and ropes rushed towards Qutang Pass.

Huang Zhong, on the other hand, led a group directly under him, the "Fierce Bow Group", and directly activated the combat skill "Fierce Bow". One group shot out a rain of arrows, and several other groups and positions were also in their respective groups. Under the step-by-step command of the commander and company commander, they fired with bows and crossbows.

Unfortunately, because it shoots from low to high, and a safe range is required, there is no room for repeating crossbows with shorter ranges.

However, the "firepower" was enough. At the critical moment, the general had been defeated and the defenders had no intention of fighting, but they were directly pushed back by a wave of arrows.

In the absence of effective instructions and incentives, the stragglers and defenders simply handed over the Guanqiang wall to others - it was also because they were too negligent in the past and did not stockpile rolling stones and tung oil in the pass. The money was also used to enrich their own pockets, making the grassroots generals even more No fighting spirit.

Be the first to join the group and seize the opportunity!
Because the opposing defenders retreated without any morale, almost only Qutang Pass itself was playing the role of limiting the armor's engine.

Even the newly promoted gilded warriors - even if they can't fly directly to the critical moment, they can still jump up directly after borrowing a few times. Wei Yan's first arrival in the group specifically strengthened the proportion of gilded warriors at the grassroots level. of.

The grassroots generals charging forward can also boost the morale of Ji Zao soldiers. I saw a group of Ji Zao soldiers who were the first to board the regiment. They threw their grappling hooks on the top of the wall, locked them and quickly climbed up along the wall...

Climbing, of course, is also specially intensively trained!

Before the effect of Huang Zhong's fierce bow disappeared, the Xiansheng group had already climbed onto the wall.

The arrow rain from the "Fierce Bow Regiment" behind them stopped - after all, Wei Yan and his soldiers were already on the wall, and it would be easy to accidentally injure them if they fired any more!
As for other regiments, they have already stopped long-range cover...

The defenders... had lost all morale for a long time. Wei Yan's first ascending regiment quickly occupied the city wall, and the troops behind climbed up one after another along the ropes left by the first ascending regiment.

"Liu Zhang is ignorant, Yizhou is smoky, and the army and the people are resentful. Now that our army from Chu has arrived, the people are all rejoicing. Why didn't you surrender as soon as possible?" Wei Yan shouted at the critical moment.

The camp, company commanders, and squad leaders below also spread the word that the King of Chu was kind and that the Chu State would not kill prisoners, and quickly quelled the last small resistance.

After all, they are the defenders of Qutang Pass - even if Yizhou Prefecture is among the people, no matter how black and white the picture is, the Chu Kingdom is black, and Qutang Pass is the dividing line between Yizhou and Chu Kingdom, how can the generals not make their own judgment?

When facing the Chu army, they dared to surrender...

As for being loyal to the Marquis of Shu?
Throughout the entire cold weapon era, except for a very small number of elites or the army united by special feelings, there is no "loyalty" at the middle level and below. Their task is to follow the generals who lead them.

After the city is broken, everyone makes a fortune together. If the general wants to fight to the death, just see if there is a chance to withdraw. If the supervising team is careful, if the general wants to defect to the enemy... then follow suit!

Even if you want to refuse to surrender to the enemy, you must at least be a lieutenant general or a general with his own troops to be qualified to resist.

After modern times in history, countries began to talk to ordinary soldiers one after another. Only an army that has formed a cohesion and a sense of family and country can be regarded as a modern army at its core. If it still stops at robbing money, food, and women For the level of cohesion, any weapon is "backward".

In this regard, Chu State undoubtedly achieved modernization earlier than technology.

And because Chu State is so far ahead, there is no need to emphasize the concept of family and country. After all, the cycle of expansion, development, and expansion is Chu State's task.

There is no need to worry about foreign enemies for the time being, and there is no intention to complete expansion through slavery or plunder, so the Chu State will not specifically emphasize the concept of "Chu Land".

The core of the Chu Army, apart from the sense of glory, has always been Bai Xue...ah no!It's Chu Xue - only this, Bai Tu must emphasize, don't use your own last name!

Based on "the benevolent love others" and the continuous improvement of Chu culture, it emphasizes the identity of the Chu army as the savior of the oppressed all over the world, and this is also the core military soul.

In contrast, the vulnerability of the Shu army was not only reflected in its combat effectiveness.

Not only the ordinary Shu army, but even Wu Jing himself was not very reliable. If he had not been killed by a cannon when he came up, he would probably have taken the lead in descending by now...
