Chapter 149 Defense Zone
At the forum, the detailed process of the defense battle in Bangalore Town has been disclosed by players.
Bangalore Town also has tall city walls. The difference is that their city walls are compacted with loess, but a layer of blue bricks is built outside. Unlike Shanhai Town, they use all stone.
There were 2,000 soldiers participating in the defense in Bangalore Town. The number of bandits on the offensive was about 6,200, more than three times that of the defensive troops.
Unlike Shanhai Town, there are only three city gates. Bangalore Town is a standard four city gates, so the defensive task is much heavier than Shanhai Town. The bandits are also cunning, not only surrounded three quarries and one, but also adopted two-sided feint attacks, but actually specialized in one tactic.
In the morning, the bandits only launched a tentative attack, and the attack strength on three sides was quite strong. Diwara, the lord of the town of Bangalore, was confused by the bandits' tactics. He took advantage of the break at noon to readjust the city wall defense deployment and arranged the defense forces on the three sides very evenly.
When the afternoon attack, the bandits' murderous intent gradually emerged. On the surface, the number of bandits attacking on three sides was equivalent to that on the morning, and there were more than 2,000 people on the same side. In fact, taking advantage of the break at noon, bandits had reorganized the troops. Ordinary bandits were allocated to both sides of the east and west; all the elite bandits were gathered together and attacked the North Gate with all their strength.
As a result, the North Gate immediately became anxious. After Diwala discovered the bandits' conspiracy, all three sides had already fought. If the army was adjusted in a hurry, it would give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. In desperation, Diwala could only grit her teeth and persevere, hoping that the North Gate could last until the east and west sides to rescue the siege and come to reinforce.
Unfortunately, after an afternoon of fierce fighting, under the strong attack of elite bandits, the north gate of Bangalore Town was not defended. As soon as the north gate was broken, the entire Bangalore Town was immediately in a hurry. Soon, it was captured by bandits.
After capturing the town of Bangalore, the bandits did not launch a massacre, but ransacked the town and left. This was also the result of the system's intentional arrangements, leaving room for the failed territory.
Strictly speaking, Diwala's command was considered a perfect match and did not make any big mistakes. Unfortunately, he could not defeat the scheming of the bandits and was unfortunately defeated.
This failure will take at least half a month for the town of Bangalore to recover its vitality.
The two consecutive failures sounded the alarm for all the lord players. No territory dared to apply for promotion from the system with a lucky mentality.
After learning that Bangalore Town failed, Di Chen's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition. His Handan Town was not as good as Bangalore Town in terms of defensive power. How could he have the confidence to win? Di Chen had a little regret for his battle of intention. Unfortunately, he did not turn back. Di Chen could only take his Handan Town and walk to the dark side.
After the failure of Bangalore Town, all the world's eyes were focused on Freedom Town in the United States. Jack Dawson was very confident and threatened that Freedom Town would never repeat the mistakes of Bangalore Town and would definitely win the honor of the world's number one county.
In order to show his confidence, Jack also claimed that he would arrange a special person tomorrow to broadcast the details of the Free Town Defense War on the forum throughout the whole process. All players are welcome to watch it.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly. The Americans were still so confident. He admired Jack's confidence. As a lord, he needed this momentum of no other than me.
It seems that there will be a good show tomorrow. Since Jack is so confident, he must have a killer weapon. This American is not a fool.
Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that the honor of the world's number one county in his previous life was to be won by Free Town. However, in terms of time, it should be a little later.
Perhaps the emergence of Shanhai Town brought great pressure to Jack and the others. After learning that the battle missions in China had appeared, Jack did not hesitate to apply for promotion to the system.
Jack knew very well that once the battle was over, Shanhai Town would definitely apply for promotion to the system as soon as possible. After losing the honor of the No. 1 town in the world, Jack did not want to give up the honor of the No. 1 county in the world.
...
On May 19th, Ouyang Shuo logged in to the game on time.
Early in the morning, the cavalry battalion stationed in Youyi Town and the city defense battalion of Lushui Town left their camps and entered the base camp. Although two thousand troops were stationed at once, the high-level military camps in the city did not seem crowded at all. When the military camps in the city were planned, they were built according to the scale of the future imperial guards.
After the two battalions crossed the river, the ferry of the three towns took action immediately. Chemasi took all the ships at the ferry into the city to prevent them from being found by bandits and used to cross the river.
In this way, unless the bandits investigate the city defense situation of Shanhai Town in advance, know that Shanhai Town has a moat and have to bring a large number of ships in a hurry. Otherwise, the risk of bandits siegeing the north and east gates of Shanhai Town on a large scale will be basically eliminated.
While the battalions were already in place, Ouyang Shuo convened several generals and held a brief military meeting, mainly to coordinate the allocation of defense areas of each battalion.
After consultation, it was finally decided that the Shanhai Town Urban Defense Battalion was responsible for the West Gate Defense Zone, the four squadrons of the Lushui Town Urban Defense Battalion, except the Cavalry Squadron, were responsible for the North Gate Defense Zone, and 500 reserve troops were responsible for the East Gate Defense Zone.
The Cavalry Battalion, plus the cavalry squadron of the Lushui Town City Defense Battalion, was deployed at the West Gate as a mobile unit, ready to attack at any time.
As for the two infantry battalions in the west camp, the first infantry battalion and two squadrons of the second infantry battalion were deployed on the Ximen City Wall to assist the defense of Shanhai Town City Defense Battalion. The remaining three squadrons of the second infantry battalion were deployed on the North Gate City Wall to assist the defense of the Lushui Town City Defense Battalion.
It can be seen that the West Gate General was the key defense direction, and deployed 1,800 people. Moreover, the three-bow-eight-cow bed crossbow and the fierce turbulent oil cabinet were all arranged at the West Gate.
Relatively speaking, the defense of the North Gate was a little weaker, with only seven hundred people deployed.
One is the only way to expand the space outside the north gate, and the other is the way to protect the moat. Even if the bandits want to make any tricks and want to cross the moat, it will be more than worth the loss. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was very relieved.
In addition, the First Battalion of the North Sea Fleet will also leave Shanhai Town Wharf tomorrow morning and head to the Friendship River in the north to assist the North Gate in defense. If the bandits want to attack through water, then they have made the wrong idea, and the North Sea Fleet will definitely give them a head-on blow.
As for the east side, I believe that the bandits would not be so stupid. They went around such a big circle and went to the east gate to attack. If that was the case, I believe that the five hundred reserves deployed could be able to survive until the reinforcements arrived. Moreover, the outer periphery of the east gate was completely divided into two by the moat, which was a dead place, and it was really not suitable for siege troops.
The only weakness of the East Gate is that it is worried that foreign enemies will attack from the sea, pass through the canyon, and then land and fight. Even a little more abnormal, using small warships to land and fight, directly up the moat, drive the warships to the foot of the city wall on the east side, and then use the cover of the warships to counter the defending troops with bows and arrows.
This situation is almost impossible. The Second Battalion of the Beihai Fleet deployed in Beihai Town is not a decoration. They firmly guard the estuary. If they want to pass through the canyon, they must break through the defense line of the Beihai Fleet.
At this time, we can see that Ouyang Shuo carefully chose the location of the village to build a village. He leaned against the mountains and had no worries and completely solved the defense problem in the south of Shanhai Town. A big river surrounded the north and east of Shanhai Town, which was almost equivalent to removing the threat from the east and greatly weakening the threat from the north.
It is precisely because of such a unique advantage that Shanhai Town can deploy heavy troops in Ximen.
Starting at 10 a.m., under the leadership of Li Zheng, the residents of the settlements outside the city will be arranged uniformly by the administrative department officials. All residents are temporarily resettled to residential areas in the city and allocated to each household, and the residents in the city will be responsible for their food and accommodation. The Finance Department has a special financial subsidy for each household.
This arrangement can prevent these immigrants from setting up tents in the city, affecting public security in the city, and increasing the management difficulty of the Public Security Department. Second, it can also facilitate monitoring of immigrants and prevent bandits from getting involved in the immigrants.
Yesterday afternoon, the Administrative Office had made it clear from door to door that residents in the city were responsible for surveillance. Once an abnormality was found, they would need to report to the Public Security Department immediately. Those who concealed and refused to report the matter will be transferred to the Criminal Department for punishment.
Ouyang Shuo fully utilizes the power of the masses to prevent the infiltration of bandits to the greatest extent.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the last group of residents of the settlement entered the city. The Military Affairs Bureau immediately ordered the blockade of major city gates, and all personnel were allowed to enter and not leave.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Beihai Town brought the income from Beimu Salt Field in the first half of May.
In late April, a large number of prisoners from the Wind Tribe were sent to Beimu Salt Field, which had been expanded to the largest scale of 10,000 acres. Therefore, in the first half of the month, Beimu Salt Field achieved a net profit of 3,600 gold coins, equivalent to the profit for the whole month of April.
One hundred cavalry and two hundred infantrymen were transferred, spending 250 gold coins.
Ouyang Shuo intercepted 2,000 gold coins, and the remaining 1,350 gold coins were injected into Sihai Money House by him. With the expansion of the territory and the opening of branches in the three affiliated territories, the reserves of Sihai Money House were already a little short of money. If the Finance Department had not provided support funds, they would have been transferred through Sihai Money House, they would have been unable to maintain them for a long time.
