Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Imminent Changes
Until now, Zhang Xianzhong still doesn't take Lin Chunhong seriously. What can Lin Chunhong unexpectedly attack Biyang? What can he do if he demolished the city walls of Biyang? He has more than 8,000 people, are he still afraid that Lin Chunhong's more than 4,000 people will not be able to do it?
The key to this battle is not Biyang, but by Xubao and Bishui River!
Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know Ai Nengqi's updates now. Did he go to Xubao or Bikou? But that doesn't matter. After going to Bikou, the battle should be coming to an end. The cavalry camp may have been wiped out. If he goes to Xubao, Lin Chunhong will definitely return to rescue him after learning about it. He will have the opportunity to seize the flaws of the Jingzhou army and win it in one battle.
However, the continuous artillery fire still made Zhang Xianzhong feel sad. If the government army had such artillery fire density, wouldn’t he be unable to stay in any city and be a bandit for the rest of his life?
The rumbling artillery fire finally stopped, and the soldiers of Pili Camp were fully satisfied. If the barrel was not overheated, they would have been ready to continue to attack. If Qin Wuchao saw this, they would definitely scold him, "Doesn't you know how long it takes to build a cannon and how much steel it will take to get rid of? How long can the cannon be used in such abuse?"
The artillery not only shocked Zhang Xianzhong, but also caused psychological impact to the Jingzhou army. Although the Red Barbarian cannons in the past were long in range, their extremely slow firing rate gave the soldiers enough time to digest psychological impact. Now, the thunderbolt cannons are almost one after another, pushing iron balls weighing several kilograms out of the muzzle. This is so terrifying!
Now there are only ten thunderbolt cannons. If the Grand Commander said that more than 100 cannons would it be? Lin Chunyi sighed, "Even if there is no flower bullet, who can stop it in field war? God of war, God of war, what the general said is right..."
Lin Chunhong turned his head to look at Lin Chunyi and smiled and said, "Cheng Shu doesn't think so. Commander Lin, have you ever thought about how many iron balls and gunpowder are needed for such a shelling density?"
Lin Chunyi raised his fingers, calculated silently, and finally took a breath, "Oh my God, in less than half an hour, there were 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of iron balls, and more than 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder were consumed. This... not only can't keep up with the transportation, but also how much money will be consumed!"
Lin Chunhong smiled bitterly and said, "So, in the end, the battle was about money, grain and logistics. In half an hour, tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Sighing, Lin Chunhong continued: "This cannon will have to be more useful in the future. This time it is mainly to test the performance of the cannon, which made Ling Su feel addicted. Hehe, Qin Wu is very good, and no problem has occurred."
Without the support of the machine industry, and by handicraft alone, there is no possibility of playing with firearms on a large scale in the era of cold weapons. Lin Chunhong has been in this era for so long. If he can't even see through this problem, he can be considered an idiot. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Chunhong has always been eager to return to Zhijiang. If the foundation is not laid, everything will be empty.
Thoughts drifted away, Lin Chunhong smiled lost his heart. He found that he was thinking about Zhijiang more and more, especially after receiving the news that his daughter had been born.
"Okay, let's put the cannon aside first. There is no news from the Cavalry Camp yet. We have to go to Biyang to take a look..."
"Li Guangzu!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Strike the whole team immediately!"
"promise!"
...
The sound of war drums suddenly rang, hitting the heartstrings of the soldiers.
The brothers of Tianwu Camp stepped on the drum beats, maintained a neat square formation, and slowly pressed towards Biyang City. This is a typical field formation. After all, the city wall of Biyang has now been destroyed, and siege is almost the same as field battles.
As the soldiers took step by step, they made waves of steel hitting sounds. This sound shocked people far more than the war drums. After all, steel represents the elite level of the team, and steel is a symbol of combat effectiveness!
The sword and shield hand is in front, and the spearman is immediately behind. The crossbowman is also equipped with a steel knife that cuts gold and breaks iron, which can be converted into a knife hand at any time. All soldiers are wearing plate armor, and all their bodies are seen, except their faces. The red tassels on the top of the helmet are flying in the north wind, making them look extraordinary.
There were still two hundred steps away from the ruins of the city wall. The sound of war drums came to an abrupt end. The soldiers of the Tianwu Camp stopped moving forward and slightly formed a team, waiting for Li Guangzu's next command.
Li Guangzu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed any movements in the city. What surprised him was that there was no movement in the city, and he could not even see a figure within his sight.
Zhou Shiliang was puzzled, "Did the bandits escape by looking at the wind? It's impossible, around the city of Tanma..."
Li Guangzu sneered, "It seems that the general is not bad as expected. The bandits want to lure us into the city to encircle and annihilate us, hehe..."
After saying that, Li Guangzu looked up at the flag above his head. The flag was waving in the northwest wind, making a crackling sound.
"Part PM Zhou, let's consider it, I want to do this..."
Li Guangzu put his mouth close to Zhou Shiliang's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Zhou Shiliang was overjoyed and couldn't help but scratch his head. As a result, he grabbed the Hongying on his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Li Guangzu laughed, "I must let Niu Qingdong go to this matter. This kid is born to be a good product for this business!"
...
After the whole team was finished, Li Guangzu no longer hesitated and sternly ordered the messenger: "Siege the city!"
The war drums roared, the flags were flying, and the shouts sounded like thunder. The soldiers of Tianwu Camp bowed their waists, held their strength, and clasped the weapons in their hands, and rushed towards Biyang County like a strong wind.
The bandits finally appeared and formed an array in the ruins, trying to prevent Tianwu Camp from entering the city.
Losing the cover of the city wall, the bandits needed to face the threat of the Tianwu Camp, which made all the bandits frightened. When the cannon just hit, the bandits' eardrums were almost broken, and by the way, their courage slowly passed with the sound of cannons. Now, the Tianwu Camp that was rushing towards them was like an iron forest, crushing them into meat pie.
The fearful bandits desperately poured their bows and arrows into the head of Tianwu Camp. The arrow rain was dense, and the clanging sounds were endless. However, their efforts were completely unpaid. The soldiers of Tianwu Camp were interested and pushed away with swords and guns. If they were not interested, they would ignore them and let the arrows make a clanging sound on the armor. Although Zhang Xianzhong's team had many archers, there were not many strong bows and hard crossbows. The only source of weapons for bandits who were not engaged in production was robbery. How could they get a large number of strong bows and hard crossbows just by relying on looting?
The most threat to Tianwu Camp is the musket! The lead shot of the musket is small and there is no way to hide. Facing it at close range gives people a lot of pressure. In an instant, several soldiers were shot in the face by the lead and fell to the ground with their faces covering their faces. The nurse immediately stepped forward, carried the injured away from the battlefield, and returned to the formation to treat.
However, the Tianwu Camp had only one chance to give the musketeers a chance. The angry soldiers rushed to the bandit formation and stabbed them hard. The bandits' spearmen and swords and shields could not stop the sharpness of the Tianwu Camp and dodged one after another. The bandits who had lost their formation were like a dog from a family, running around everywhere. After a little slower, they were stabbed to the ground by the spear that was chasing them and lost their lives.
With just one charge, Tianwu Camp easily solved the enemy in front of him and attacked deep in the Bianyang.
As the attack deepened, more and more houses were not destroyed by artillery fire, and more bows and arrows and muskets gradually increased. Moreover, these archers and muskets hid in the dark and could not be defended.
The casualties in Tianwu Camp gradually increased. Li Guangzu ignored it and ordered the sentries to continue attacking, only reducing the speed of the attack.
No one noticed that Niu Qingdong led more than 20 people to take advantage of the chaos in the battlefield, hid in the dark, unloaded his armor, and quietly disappeared into the city...
Lu Shiming, Lin Chunyi, Wei Yuexiang and others were anxious.
"General, let's withdraw the troops. Li Guangzu is a little wrong today. If this continues, it is still a question whether Tianwu Camp can retreat..."
Lu Shiming was so hard that he almost drooled.
Lin Chunhong held his monocular lens and kept watching the battle situation, his heart was hanging in his throat. After Li Guangzu attacked Biyang, he was indeed facing the street fighting of the bandits. The bandits stayed in the town of Biyang for nearly half a month, and their familiarity with Biyang was far better than Tianwu Camp. They hid in the dark and kept firing bows and arrows and muskets, causing great trouble to Tianwu Camp.
Lin Chunyi was also puzzled. Li Guangzu should not disobey the general's military order. Before going to fight in Tianwu Camp, the general had clearly warned Li Guangzu to pay attention to Zhang Xianzhong's plan to lure the enemy, and told him that the combat goal was to make Zhang Xianzhong firm in the wrong judgment of the Jingzhou army to capture Miyang. Does Li Guangzu want to seize the merits? Li Guangzu is not such a person!
Lin Chunyi could not continue to remain silent and said, "Did Li Guangzu see the fighter plane? But will this disrupt the general's deployment?"
Lu Shiming said, "Yes, it disrupts our deployment. Wouldn't we be busy with nothing?"
Lin Chunhong was silent all the time, finally shook his head and said, "The order has been given. The front-line war will have the right to adjust according to the combat goals. I cannot destroy this bottom line. Let's wait. Li Guangzu is ahead, the situation should be clearer than us. We must trust him!"
Lu Shiming still refused to give in, "But..."
Lin Chunhong waved his hand to interrupt Lu Shiming and forced a smile, "Stop talking, don't you know Li Guangzu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commander from Tianwu Camp rushed over. Lu Shiming asked anxiously without waiting for the commander to speak, "What's going on with Commander Li?"
The messenger reported Li Guangzu's plan, and the generals put their heart back in their stomachs.
Lin Chunhong was overjoyed and ordered the commander: "Let Tianwu Camp be careful and never be obsessed with Zhang Xianzhong's words. Of course, it is good to be successful if this matter is not successful, and don't force it. I will ask Hu Xiao Camp to respond."
After the commander's salute, he turned over and galloped away, leaving a group of generals with joy behind him.
