Yang Lin shook his head and laughed bitterly: ”Thunderbolt Bomb isn't omnipotent. It can blast apart a normal city wall, but with such a thick city wall, if we were to just throw some explosives at the walls, there is nothing we can do about it. The mountain slope is too long, we cannot set up a catapult, and we cannot throw Thunderbolt Bomb onto the city wall. ”
The power of the gunpowder right now was not very strong. Making a small bomb, exploding Barbarian's mountain stronghold and castles were not difficult things, but to destroy a thick and solid wall was a little too much for him. He was not sure that a wall built on top of a mountain ridge would be able to explode.
”Lord General, you must be joking! I thought that Thunderbolt Bomb was able to blow up all the walls!” Hearing Yang Lin's words, the Zhang Banxian became anxious. He hurriedly asked: ”Lord General, if we do not use explosives, how many soldiers would we have to suffer if we were to try to forcibly take over the Linjiang Pass?”
”It's not like there's no other way!” Seeing the anxious look on the Zhang Banxian's face, Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh. With regards to modern weapons, Zhang Banxian only had a vague idea of how to use them. Yang Lin pointed at the city walls and laughed: ”If we can create a big hole on the walls of the Linjiang Pass and place the explosives inside the hole, then we can ensure that the city walls are destroyed.”
”Oh …” That's a good idea. ” Zhang Banxian heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. Digging a hole in the city wall had always been a good method of attacking cities since ancient times. If they dug a hole in the city wall with explosives, then they would be absolutely safe, even the gods would not be able to save Gaoguellian.
But just at this time, a group of Gaoguanli cavalry generals ran over and pointed at Yang Lin and the others. When the Zhang Banxian saw this, he said thoughtfully, ”Lord General, there are so many soldiers guarding the Linjiang Pass, how can we make a big hole in front of the Gaoguellian?”
”That's what I'm worried about. There are too many soldiers in the garrison, so our soldiers won't have the chance to attack them.” Yang Lin helplessly shook his head, and said with a bitter face: ”Gaoguellian is so extravagant, defending a Linjiang Pass, actually sending over a hundred thousand troops, they are really willing to put forth their capital!”
”From the information that we have, Gaoguellian is indeed crazy. The entire Gaoguanli only has a population of more than two million, but they have recruited more than three hundred thousand young and strong soldiers. Adding in their one hundred thousand regular army, their total number of soldiers has reached more than four hundred thousand! ” Zhang Banxian laughed and said sinisterly: ”Lord General, if we destroy or capture these four hundred thousand Gauzeli soldier, from now on, Gaoguanli is finished.”
”Not really. Thinking back to when Prince Fuyu Gao Zhu Meng fled to Gaoguanli alone, there were no Gaoguellian in this world. It was because of him constantly conquering the surrounding Barbarian Tribes that he had a Gaoguellian. In fact, the Gaoguellian is just like a tribe's melting pot. She is both a farmer and a hunter, but she doesn't have a real Gaoguellian. ”” In fact, the Gaoguellian is just like a tribe's melting pot.
In order to conquer the Gaoguellian, Yang Lin had spent a lot of effort to study the Gaoguellian, which also allowed him to discover this strange phenomenon. In the process of development and growth, many tribes were constantly conquering other tribes, snatching the populations of other tribes and merging them into their own tribes. However, they all had a main tribe, while the Gaoguellian did not have a main clan.
”Therefore, not only do we have to eliminate or capture these four hundred thousand Gauzeli soldier s, we also have to continuously take away their remaining strength. We have to completely change their blood in the Gaoguanli, so that they can become Han Chinese. We must not leave behind any future troubles.” Under the dim night sky, the world was covered with dark clouds that rolled endlessly in the endless sky. It seemed like there would be snow tomorrow. Occasionally, however, the moving clouds would split apart, revealing a few frozen stars. They blinked mischievously, but soon after, they were hidden behind the clouds, and the night sky turned dark again.
After the fourth fragment of the night, about a thousand steps away from Linjiang Pass stood a densely packed Korean Army Soldiers. Waves of cold wind from the north pierced into their faces like knives, freezing their ears and noses. Snow gently fell on their faces and soon melted into a stream that ran down their cheeks.
Although the soldiers of the three Eastern pawn platoon s were dressed very lightly, they still stood tall in the cold wind. Even though the wind was cold like blades, the Chinese Army Soldiers s had forgotten about the cold. They were all excited and nervous, waiting for Lord General's order.
On top of the Linjiang Pass's city walls, the night watch continued without end, holding either torches or lanterns. From afar, the city walls and soldiers could be seen hiding in the darkness. The endless torches and lanterns hung in the air like a group of ghosts passing through the Shadow Squad.
Yang Lin lifted his head and looked at the thick layer of clouds in the sky. Without a clock, he could not estimate what time it was. Zhang Banxian beside him nodded his head, he then waved towards the soldiers and ordered in a low voice, ”Begin the operation!”
At this time, under the enveloping of the night, there were two teams of Korean Army Soldiers s who divided into two teams. These two teams of soldiers were all soldiers of the Alvaro Waldo. The ancestors of the Morvo lived in caves for generations.
The northern troop was led by the Chinese Company Leaders Zhang Quan and Wu Feng, the southern troop was led by Chen Ning and Yang Tian. Soldiers with heads, hammers, iron drills, and many more carried thick planks of wood.
”Enemy attack …”
