Chapter 951 Sniper Killing in the Alley
Chapter 951 Sniper Killing in the Alley
She received the news that the Zhenxi Army was heading from Jiliu County to Funing Prefecture, and felt that something was wrong this time.
The intelligence described that there were too many chariots and equipment in the Zhenxi Army.
Is the Zhenxi Army going to attack the city?
Atsumi Akiyama was still very confident in the city's defense. He fought street battles with the Zhenxi Army twice and achieved very ideal results both times.
Did the Zhenxi Army still not learn its lesson and still want to fight a street battle with me?
If the Zhenxi Army still chooses to attack the city this time, it will be easy. Open the city gates, lower the drawbridge, and let them enter the city.
The Onimuchi family's concealment skills can effectively hide the team in various buildings and wait for the Zhenxi Army soldiers to enter.
One side hides in the dark, and the other side enters at a loss. The outcome is obvious.
The previous leader of the Zhenxi Army was Hu Jincai, who only waged guerrilla warfare against them in the wilderness and was very cautious.
Atsumi Akiyama had tempted Hu Jincai twice, but he did not fall for it. Without being absolutely sure, Hu Jincai would not rashly enter the city of Funing Prefecture.
Judging from the situation this time, the Zhenxi Army seems to be more confident in attacking the city.
Atsumi Akiyama has ordered the members of the Onimaki family to set up various traps in advance and hide tens of thousands of soldiers in the buildings in the city.
Once the Zhenxi Army enters the city, it will be an exciting sniper kill in the alley.
The two armies have been facing each other for quite some time, and both sides are holding back their anger. It remains to be seen who will lose control first.
Atsumi Akiyama decided to teach the Zhenxi Army a big lesson this time, to wipe out as many of the enemy's troops as possible, and to try to completely drive the Zhenxi Army out of the southern area of Dazong.
The capital of Funing Prefecture is larger than other capitals in the south, and there are relatively more buildings here, most of which are brick and wood structures, with roofs covered with thatch and gray tiles.
If you want to lure as many Zhenxi troops as possible into alleys and buildings, you have to hide your troops as well as possible.
When the Zhenxi Army approached the city of Funing, Atsumi Akiyama made up his mind to hide the remaining more than 10,000 people in the buildings in the city.
This offensive and defensive battle turned into a decisive battle between the two armies.
Atsumi Akiyama brought his guards to the city wall and observed the movements of the Zhenxi Army.
She was surprised to find that the Zhenxi Army stopped attacking not far from the city wall and began to line up, not knowing what they were busy with.
In the distance of three or five miles, the Zhenxi Army set up artillery, which were long-barreled artillery towed by chariots.
After walking around the city wall, I found that only outside the South Gate there was no Zhenxi Army.
Whether in the army or in the family, Atsumi Akiyama is a person who has the final say and she does not allow anyone to express any opposing opinions.
Therefore, the people who followed her were, on the one hand, guards to protect her safety, and on the other hand, soldiers to convey orders.
The generals around Lin Feng can question or raise doubts about Lin Feng's decisions, and can also put forward opinions.
Sometimes, there are many arguments.
But there was no such general around Atsumi Akiyama. She was the only one who had the final say. Her words were more effective than those of the emperor, and no one dared to question them.
At this time, Atsumi Akiyama was squinting his eyes and looking at the artillery position built with stones by the Zhenxi Army in the distance.
After walking around the city, I only saw a dozen or so cannons.
Atsumi Akiyama thought that with just a dozen or so cannons, they would not be able to cause much damage to such a big city.
She judged that the Zhenxi Army wanted to use artillery to suppress her army, then attack the city and drive the frightened troops out of the city.
Think about it, it doesn't make sense. With such a big city and so few cannons, what can you do even if you bombard it for a year?
In the end, the soldiers had to break into the city and engage in street fighting with him.
Atsumi Akiyama had never seen the power of the artillery of the Zhenxi Army, so,
After much deliberation, Atsumi Akiyama decided to proceed according to the original plan. No matter what the Zhenxi Army did, he would just remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
"Come here, notify the city defense, open the city gates, and lower the drawbridge. I don't believe that the Zhenxi Army will hold back from entering the city."
Atsumi Akiyama's thoughts are exactly the opposite of Lin Feng's.
She felt that if the team could solve the problem, they should try to save money and supplies. Weapons and equipment were so valuable, so they should save as much as possible.
If there are no more people, we can recruit new ones.
If you don’t have money, it will be hard to earn it back.
Atsumi Akiyama and his guards stayed on the city wall until noon.
The Zhenxi Army had finally finished their preliminary work and was busy making fire and cooking outside the city.
"These bastards are indifferent to the open city gates. Are they here to fight or to have fun?"
Atsumi Akiyama couldn't help but curse.
Because the Zhenxi Army was cooking and eating, and her army had already entered the alley and ambushed, not daring to move easily, let alone eat.
I can't even go to the toilet.
Of course, Atsumi Akiyama believed that her team had the patience to remain motionless even if they lay in ambush for a day or two with nearly 20,000 people.
Her discipline is very strict. Although the pirates' formations are disorganized during battle and they rely entirely on their personal bravery, once they violate military discipline, the punishment will be very severe.
You are asked to hide in the building and are not allowed to move around. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all strictly prohibited.
Until the battle started.
At the Zhenxi Army's position under the city, engineers built a stove, put an iron pot on it, and started cooking.
The wisps of green smoke allowed Atsumi Akiyama, who was standing on the top of the city wall, to make a preliminary calculation of the number of Zhenxi Army soldiers.
It is not much more than before, still less than 20,000 people.
Atsumi Akiyama felt slightly relieved. With so many troops, they would not pose much threat to his city.
Just because her soldiers couldn't drink water or eat, it didn't mean that Atsumi Akiyama couldn't eat.
A soldier prepared food for her and placed it in the arrow tower at the north gate of Funing City, and also brought up a low table.
Atsumi Akiyama knelt behind a low table and could see the Zhenxi Army troops not far away when he looked up.
While eating, he frowned and pondered the strange behavior of the Zhenxi Army.
After lunch, the 15,000 soldiers of the Zhenxi Army's long-range attack battalion began to take up their positions.
Since it was not far from the city wall, we had to ensure that the crossbow arrows would hit the buildings inside the city, so the distance from the city wall could not exceed one hundred steps.
Almost on the edge of the moat.
The order Hu Jincai received was that when he heard the sound of artillery fire, he should calculate the time himself and start attacking with crossbows after a quarter of an hour.
He couldn't figure out the meaning of Lin Feng's arrangement, but the order must be strictly implemented.
When all the soldiers were in their positions, the cooks and engineers quickly packed up their belongings and withdrew from the position.
Hu Jincai stood behind the arrow formation, turned his head to look at the simple artillery position in the distance, waiting for the shelling to begin.
The wind in the wilderness blew his clothes, and the surroundings were very quiet.
The messenger standing not far from Hu Jincai was straightening the small red flag in his hand, looking up and staring at Hu Jincai, waiting for his gesture.
It was the first time that Hu Jincai was so close to Funing City. He even saw some figures swaying on the top of the city, as if they were also eating.
