Chapter 771 Raid 1
Chapter 771: Raid 1
The war in Daqiu is about to break out now, with more than 100,000 Ming troops approaching the border, and it is as dark as an ant. Everyone's heart is hanging, and hundreds of cannons are exposed.
One or two doors may be paid attention to, but those with hundreds of doors are different. The lines are lined up like a black line, which is particularly eye-catching.
This time is not the original era. Artillery positions must be very secretive. In this way, they will not be discovered by the enemy artillery. The current war is completely a war between two eras, so the Ming Dynasty could place artillery in the front without any concern. On the one hand, it is a demonstration, and at the same time it also plays a deterrent role.
Li Chengen on the city wall couldn't help but pursed his lips tightly. He had heard of it before and knew that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but now he knew how strong will it takes to face the other party's artillery.
If the enemy's artillery was not eliminated, the victory of the war would be zero.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Li Chengen had a decision in his heart, and success or failure would be defeated again.
Waving his hand, the deputy general next to him immediately came over and whispered: "General!"
Li Chengen pointed to the cannons in front of him and said, "The enemy now has hundreds of cannons placed in front of us. If they are allowed to exist, we will have no chance of winning at all. In other words, to defend this city, they must destroy their cannons. This is the most basic point. Therefore, we must report to all dispatch and destroy their cannons at all costs!"
"Sir, can it work?"
The deputy general couldn't help but worry, asking, his cavalry was only about 10,000, while the opponent had enough cavalry to have 30,000 cavalry, and there were so many infantry to destroy other people's artillery in front of the defenses formed by these cavalry and infantry. This was undoubtedly a stone with an egg.
Li Chengen didn't know this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't I know that I would undoubtedly die? Even if there was a one-tenth chance, we had to go. Now the city is in panic. Many people think we want to surrender. Many people no longer have the will to fight, because they think that if they want to surrender, why bother to fight? So our cavalry actually has two purposes. First, I hope they can destroy the enemy's artillery, and second, they will die on the battlefield and arouse the common hatred of the general public. Otherwise, we will be defeated as soon as the artillery of the Ming Dynasty fired."
The so-called heroic end, Li Chengen now has some feeling. He knows that his soldiers are going out to die, but at this time, even so, he has to personally send them to the road of death. As a general, only Li Chengen understands in his heart that he is like a murderer who personally kills his soldiers.
The deputy general nodded and turned around to convey Lee Chengen's order.
The Ming Dynasty did not open fire immediately, but sent another soldier to shoot an arrow on the other party's city tower.
The soldiers immediately sent the letter above to Li Chengen. When they opened the letter, they saw that it was a letter of persuasion to surrender, requiring them to surrender immediately, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would start to attack the city.
A stream of blue veins appeared on Li Chengen's face, and he tore the letter to pieces with hatred, and then said angrily: "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Even if I, Li Chengen, died in battle, I, would never move a step!"
This bold statement immediately infected the soldiers around him and immediately took the lead and shouted: "Absolutely retreat!"
"Never retreat!"
...
Soon, the sound suddenly spread throughout every corner of the city wall, and there was a little more tragic in the solemnity.
"Sir, what are they talking about?"
Deng Yuanjue next to him asked strangely. He finally learned a little bit of Mu Jun's words, but he didn't know this strong man.
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "They said they would never retreat! Since that's the case..."
Jiang Lang's face darkened and he shouted: "Since that's the case, order all the artillery to fire three rounds of volleys!"
Of course, three wheels are just a lesson, or a warning to the people inside.
After Jiang Lang's order, all the artillery soldiers began to load and aim, and then wait for Jiang Lang's order.
Jiang Lang pondered for a moment, then pointed with his hand and said, "Aim at the city tower, knock them down in one round."
Soon, the soldiers adjusted the direction of their shooting.
"Open fire!"
Jiang Lang shouted.
"Open fire!"
The commander shouted loudly.
The commanding soldier waved the red flag in his hand at this time.
"boom……!"
"boom……!"
Hundreds of artillery fired at this moment, and one shot after another.
At this moment, the world changed color and the whole earth was trembling. Blue smoke began to rise from the Ming Dynasty's position, and countless sharp sounds of tearing the air in the air made everyone feel discolored.
Whether it was the soldiers or the soldiers guarding the city, Gao Qiangren couldn't help but hide behind the arrow holes in the city wall at this moment. They also told in advance that if the Ming Dynasty opened fire, this would be very effective in reducing casualties.
The city wall began to tremble at this time, and the huge explosion began to invade everyone's eardrums without hesitation. The explosion produced a huge fireball and rose into the air. The stones and wood aroused by the explosion flew everywhere, and the shock waves swept across the city wall like a strong wind.
Even if they had the courage, these powerful people had never experienced such a situation, and they did not dare to raise their heads. They could only curl their bodies tightly, hoping to avoid these cannons. However, some of them were not so lucky, especially those soldiers near the city tower, who were either buried in the explosion of the cannon, or were stolen by the air waves aroused by the explosion, and then fell down the city tower and lost their vitality.
For a moment, there was no courage or courage. With such a powerful explosion, the only strength to hold his head.
During this explosion, Lee Sung-eun, who had previously stood on the city tower, unfortunately became the victim of the first round of artillery attacks.
The first round of artillery bombardment finally ended, and the powerful people on the city wall suddenly felt as if they had been a year. When they raised their heads, they found that the originally majestic city tower had been razed to the ground, and only some collapsed pillars were still burning.
Everyone looked at the razed city tower with trembling fear, and held the weapons in their hands tightly, as if they could feel a little safe with weapons in their hands, but how could the weapons in their hands resist the other party's artillery?
"Sir, Sir..."
A soldier immediately cried.
Anyone who could hear could not help but look at the collapsed place, and saw a large number of soldiers surrounding them, and more and more people leaning towards them, and those who approached also saw that their master, Lee Cheng-en, had closed his eyes and was still bleeding in his chest. In the explosion just now, he was hit by the debris of the explosion because he was close to the city wall.
It was just the first round of shooting, and the Ming Dynasty allowed them to see what the gap is. Although this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers or tigers, it is because it has not seen the cruelty of tigers, but the tiger is always a tiger. Once it shows its might and reveals its fangs, it will tear everything in front of it.
Before the Ming Dynasty attacked, they thought they could rely on the city wall to defend the Ming Dynasty's attack. The final victory of the war must belong to them. But now they realized that they had no chance at all. Under such a powerful offensive, they had no chance to fight back at all. What's more, Li Chengen had died here at the beginning of the war. Before there was a formal confrontation, the main general died. It is conceivable how heavy the blow to these people was.
Some people are confused. How should this battle be fought?
At this time, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Ming Dynasty had begun, but this time the target was not the city tower, but the city wall. The huge explosion covered the screams of death, and the fire soared into the sky made many people die in the screams.
Standing on the tower in the camp, Jiang Lang looked at the city that was already covered in flames expressionlessly. Although it gave people the feeling that they were bullying others, they thought that war was originally about bullying. Hundreds of years later, the United States advocated asymmetric warfare. Why should they care so much? If they want to blame, they can only blame themselves for not mastering these things.
The explosion continued, and the city wall in front of him was covered by fire. As for how many people were killed or injured in the explosion, Jiang Lang didn't have the interest in knowing this. As long as he guaranteed the minimum casualties.
After three shellings, everything seemed to stop.
"Sir, the enemy's gate is open!"
A soldier said immediately at this time.
Jiang Lang looked up and saw that the city gate that was originally closed had already opened wide at this time, and a cavalry rushed out from it.
"Sir, there are also enemy cavalry teams on both sides!"
The soldier reported again.
Jiang Lang was really confused. After thinking about it, he asked, "How many people are there?"
"About ten thousand!"
The soldier replied immediately.
"What do ten thousand people want to do?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that these powerful people were dizzy? What is the chance of winning for these 10,000 people over their 100,000 troops? If there is no chance of winning, why are you doing this? Wouldn't this be smashing a stone with an egg and seeking death?
However, Gao Qiangren should not have the stupid idea this time. Since ten thousand people cannot cause substantial harm to their people, then they must have a purpose, and this purpose...
