Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 72 What is it like to be besieged by 20 enemy troops?

The strategy battle of the unnamed stronghold was undoubtedly a success, but Bai Mingxiu was still a little dissatisfied during the process, because when facing the well-trained "field troops", his recruits were still slightly inferior in combat power of.

"It's still not enough training." Bai Mingxiu expressed such emotion. He witnessed with his own eyes the soldiers of the hundred-faced regiment Guli people, who had obviously stronger physiques, facing Eizo, who was half a head shorter than him and had radish legs. The infantry of the Republic will be beaten back again and again.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army had more troops and suppressed firepower, it might have been a question of whether they could win in one fell swoop.

Shang Zhonghe, the leader of the 102nd regiment, also had a dull face when facing Bai Mingxiu.Shang Zhonghe is different from many officers of the National Restoration Army who were born as mercenaries. He is an out-and-out Xitian Mansion native, an excellent officer who was directly selected from the original Xitian Mansion garrison to serve as the commander of the 102nd Regiment.

Sun Qian, the head of the 103rd Regiment, was also an officer of Xitianfu, but Nie Guanyong, the head of the 101st Regiment, was a lieutenant colonel promoted from among the mercenaries.

"Your Highness, the performance of the 102nd regiment is like this. As the chief officer, I bear the main responsibility. Please punish me, Your Highness." Shang Zhonghe said with his head down.

Bai Mingxiu shook his head, and said calmly: "The two-month recruits, I can't expect them to be like a great army. The activities we are doing now are to improve their actual combat experience. Many problems have been exposed in the actual combat. It is not enough to prepare your soldiers for battle, and there are also big shortcomings in street fighting and close combat."

"What His Highness teaches is that his subordinates must do their best to order the troops to correct themselves."

Sun Qian also said: "The 103rd Regiment also resolutely corrected the problem and worked hard to consolidate its combat power."

"Okay, you go and reorganize your troops. We captured the stronghold and obtained a new batch of supplies. Let everyone have a good rest and don't let down your guard."

"Yes!"

Bai Mingxiu came to the master room in the castle. Looking at the decoration in the room with the style of medieval European aristocrats, he didn't feel much.The room is very spacious, with velvet carpets on the floor and white gauze curtains beside the big bed, which is very atmospheric.

He was a little tired. After a day of marching and two consecutive battles, he hadn't closed his eyes for twenty hours, and now he was going to take a rest.

It's just that after he lay down, although his body was very tired, his spirit was a little too excited, he couldn't sleep well, and he was still thinking about some things.

As soon as he conquered the castle, he came to the dungeon and saw the Qimen Jingqi who were imprisoned as densely as sardine cans.Only then did he know that Qimen Jingqi is the real defender of this stronghold, but he is so dead, this dungeon is like a stupid game with AI, because if Qimen Jingqi's horse is separated from the soldiers, they cannot Those who fight are not like the mercenaries recruited by Bai Mingxiu. It is still possible to dismantle them to become officers of other troops. It is not impossible to convert cavalry to infantry. The cavalry in the dungeon is cavalry, and you cannot fight without horses.

Because of this setting that made Bai Mingxiu dumbfounded, Qimen Jingqi was attacked by the infantry of the Ezo Republic from outside, and even captured them all.

In fact, as soon as the infantry of the Ezo Republic occupied this stronghold, Bai Mingxiu came on the back foot, and the Qimen Jingqi had not yet been disposed of by those Ezo soldiers.

At that time, Bai Mingxiu offered an olive branch to these Qimen Jingqi, and in the name of being the true heir of the Han family, he recruited these 2000 Qimen Jingqi to serve him, but he was still rejected.

"The success rate of recruitment and surrender is 23.5%. This is a unit belonging to the same faction as me. Is the success rate of recruitment and surrender so low?" Bai Mingxiu was still a little resentful about this, but he didn't want to put these Qimen elites from the same faction together. The cavalry drove them all to death, so they could only be locked in the dungeon.

This small stronghold is called small, but it is actually very large in scale, and the garrison facilities can just accommodate the people of the two mixed regiments to stay and rest.There are still a lot of supplies in the warehouse. Although they are relatively simple food and medicine, they can at least support Bai Mingxiu's troops for a week.

After killing all the Eizu soldiers, Bai Mingxiu seized their weapons, one hundred Chasaipo rifles, which are better rear-loading rifles than Dresser rifles, and the M1 rifles made by the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army. There are many similarities, also use paper shells, and there is room for modification of brass bullets.

Bai Mingxiu thought about messy things, and finally fell asleep, but just after he slept for four hours, a guard knocked on his door to wake him up.

"Your Highness, a brigade of soldiers and horses have come outside and surrounded our stronghold!"

"What?!" Bai Mingxiu was shocked, hurriedly put on his clothes, and went to the city to see.

When he appeared on top of the wall, he was a little dazed when he saw the scene below.

At dawn, the sky was gradually brightening, and the army was densely lined up under the city, making Bai Ming's heart feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Have you counted how many people there are?"

Shang Zhonghe, the head of the 102nd Regiment in charge of the defense, couldn't help swallowing, and said, "There are 20 troops within sight..."

"20? Are you kidding me?" Although he said so, Bai Mingxiu saw the crowded situation in the city, and roughly estimated that there are really as many as 20 people here.

In his AR interface, the displayed enemy list is also densely packed, and the list is divided into several pages.

"The musketeer infantry in "Civilization", the spearmen in "Dynasty Warriors", the female soldiers in "Three Kingdoms Heroes", the barbarians in "Clash of Clans"... Hey, what are those exaggerated armors? thing?"

Bai Mingxiu saw a place under the city, hundreds of big brothers wearing the same cool armor as cosplay, but it is very difficult to move, showing their legacy and independence.

"Sand City Warrior, source: "Playing with the Blue Moon"! Tsk tsk tsk, how did this thing get in here, but fortunately, they are restricted by the rules of the plane. They can't use any skills, even wearing such heavy armor. I can’t even move, so I can only put it here for fun now.”

It's just that he smiled easily, and within a few seconds, he saw a trebuchet from an unknown ancient game, and started to shoot stones towards the castle.

"Bombardment, bombardment, first destroy those catapults and ladders, don't let those siege machines get close to our city walls!" Bai Mingxiu immediately made arrangements, but he was already cursing in his heart, he had considered this dungeon The task would be very difficult, but he had never thought about being surrounded by 20 enemy troops.
