Chapter eight hundred and eighty: fierce battle in the salt pool
Although Yanchi has been prepared for a long time and has all kinds of guarding the city. Although the army attacked in the last battle has been destroyed, it not only did not make the morale of the soldiers guarding the city feel down, but instead aroused their anger even more.
Understand that this is a war of consuming opponents' forces. The 10,000 Fifth Battalion soldiers who attacked left nearly 20,000 enemies' bodies in front. And if they could do this, then the guards
There is only one empty space left. If an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people is beaten to only half of the people, it will actually basically lose its combat effectiveness. Behind them, there is a stronger Guizhou City.
Quan Yifeng looks relaxed on the outside, but is actually a little nervous on the inside. The Great Vietnamese army's siege skills are not comparable to those of the Mongolian army. His fifth battalion has always been good at attacking. In previous wars, most of them were the Northern Army.
Attack, the opponent defends the city, but this time it turned upside down. I don’t know if the soldiers can adapt to this role change for the moment.
Yanchi is a traditional city. The front of the city wall is over 1,000 meters long and the width of both sides is more than 500 meters. Since he is in the mainland of Dayue, his construction is more about regularity rather than defense, so it is a four-four square.
Fortunately, due to the geological conditions here, when it was built, a tall foundation was built under him, forming a slope to form the bottom of the city, which formed a natural protection. For the absence of a moat
The salt pond will be their first line of defense against their opponents. This slope makes it impossible for the ladder to get on the city wall, and the siege cars cannot get close to it. If the soldiers want to climb this slope to launch an attack, they will inevitably become the city.
A living target, rolling down a wooden tree, is not simply killing a few. He will roll along the slope all the way to the bottom, sweeping everything wherever he goes.
If the good guard wants to capture Yanchi City, he must first overcome this difficulty and fill the slope so that he can directly attack the city wall. Before that, he will pay a considerable price.
Quan Yifeng's previous tenacious resistance bought time for the Fifth Battalion to make some transformations on Yanchi City. The originally regular city wall now has some viewing towers that poked out of the city. On these viewing towers, there are demon-subduing crossbows and
Thunderbolt Fire, with these, they can attack the enemy attacking the city walls from several aspects. It is also because of the slope outside the city. They can only use giant trees to build these towers, but this is a hidden danger.
The ability to resist strikes is really weak.
The opponent's thunderbolt cannon does not pose much threat to it. If you want to hit it with a thunderbolt cannon from a distance, it will be a lucky draw, but if you ask your opponent to use a bed crossbow
It is not great to shoot in close proximity. The wooden watchtower cannot withstand the penetrating attack of the crossbow. If you get too many, you will still collapse.
However, Quan Yifeng thought that as long as they could cause enough damage to their opponents, the foundation pillar of this kind of tower had been built from the city wall. Even if the building above was destroyed, he would give himself a night of time.
You can create a simple one immediately, and all you have lost is the Demon-Subduing Crossbow, Thunderbolt Fire and a very small number of soldiers. If you convert the gain or loss ratio, it is more cost-effective for you.
The city is one thousand meters long and five meters wide, but there are 15,000 people stationed, with more than enough troops. Quan Yifeng only used 10,000 people to go to the city, and the other 5,000 people are reserved for reserve teams or rotated. He is preparing to be in
The persistence here took longer than Park Demeng asked, and then retreated to Guizhou City.
The sound of the war drums on the opposite side was clearly heard. Standing on the high city tower, Quan Yifeng could already see the military formations pressing forward layer by layer. Although the losses were huge, the guards seemed to be
Not affected by the large number of casualties in the previous battle, the entire team was still full of spirit. This was indeed an elite team. Quan Yifeng's eyes swept across the city wall, and his officers and soldiers stood straight on the city wall.
It seemed that the rumbling drums and the enemy army that were getting closer and closer did not have any psychological impact on them.
"This is my fifth battalion!" Quan Yifeng thought proudly.
The sound of horse hooves was the cavalry of the guards who arrived first. The cavalry rode their horses around the city, and some of them were very skilled. They pulled their bows and arrows on the horse and shot at the city. However, they were not accurate enough and it was difficult to face the city.
The soldiers on the upper stage form a threat.
Yicheng Lake, a row of soldiers holding large shields, rushed up to the city, raising their shields to block these shootings. The other soldiers did not move at all. These cavalry ran around the city, pulling each other very far, and the team seemed very scattered.
,If you want to fight back, it will be difficult to hit the target with a single shot, unless you have the shooting skills of Yun Zhao, and using the cover shooting will seem too wasteful, and the results of the battle may not be obvious, so above the city wall,
They ignored this kind of demonstration-like rushing technique. They had seen many times more skillful than the guards under the city. This little thing about the guards is really not enough to see.
The cowhide drum hit several times, and the guards that were advancing forward stopped moving forward. Behind them, dense thunderbolt cannons and siege cars appeared in front of everyone. The number of people was like a dense forest.
countless.
Quan Yifeng's lips twitched slightly, and she smiled, but she didn't smile. The guards were not their own army to fight against the Northern Army. Their thunder cannons were made by military craftsmen. In order to rush to work, their work was rough, and the shooting preparations and distances were not the same.
In particular, the accuracy of shooting is a joke in the eyes of the Zhengbei Army.
The Pili cannons of the North Army are all produced in professional military workshops. Over the years, large weapons such as the Pili cannon have also achieved standardized components. They are usually disassembled and shipped with the army. They are only assembled when used.
The shooting accuracy of a thunderbolt cannon has been strictly corrected, and defective products cannot enter the army at all.
It's just a lot! Quan Yifeng sneered. He had already cut off the trees within a dozen miles of the salt pond. If their thunderbolt cannon was damaged, they had to go to a long distance to cut down the wood.
, and there may be no shortage of trees in Shanzhou, but the thick wood suitable for making thunderbolt cannons is still the same as burning the small trees that are firewood.
The team began to move. Several square formations pressed forward a little, and a scream came from the air. A thunderbolt shell flew out of the opponent's army, but fell when it was several meters away from Yanchi City.
Going down, the soldiers above the city made a burst of laughter.
Amid the laughter of the soldiers of the North Army, several thunderbolt cannons broke through the air. This time, most of them crossed the city wall. I don’t know where to fall to the city. Only one hit the city wall heavily.
Up, the entire city wall shook slightly.
After several rounds of tentative shootings, the side of the Xiaowei fell silent. At the end of the Yanchi City, the soldiers began to issue orders. The soldiers began to retreat to the hiding place behind them in an orderly manner. Near the battlements, soldiers raised their shields.
Just now, we tested the shooting range, and then we were a long-range strike like a storm.
But before the Xiaowei's thunder cannon was fired, the thunder cannons of the Northern Army suddenly opened fire on the city wall. Nearly a hundred thunder cannons scattered on the city wall were fired together, and hundreds of them were polished
The round stone bullets crossed the Xiaogu infantry formation and landed towards the opponent's group of thunderbolt cannons that were as dense as a forest.
The difference between the landing points of the Xiaowei thunder cannon is very different. Nearly 100 thunder cannons of the Northern Army were fired at the same time, but the landing points were concentrated within a range of about fifty meters. They did not need to test data during wartime because they
I have practiced countless times.
The condescending force also made up for the shooting range of the thunderbolt cannons sacrificed in pursuit of the rate of fire. The rumbling sound continued, and more than a dozen thunderbolt cannons at Xiaoweibu collapsed here, and the gunners fled in all directions, but ran away.
No matter how fast it is, how fast these thunderbolts are destroyed? Many people were knocked over to the ground by the collapsed brackets and groaned in pain. The stone cannons of the North Army were not picked up at will, but were carefully polished.
After the stone ball landed, the huge recoil force made him bounce high and fell again. After several rebounds, he finally ran out of strength and rolled and rotated on the ground. Whenever he rubbed a little edge, he would cry and fell to the ground.
"Suppress, suppress shooting!" Zhang Yuting roared.
The thunderbolt cannon of the Guard finally started firing again, and hundreds of stone bullets flew up at one time. It looked scary in the air, but when it came to fruition, it was unsatisfactory, with less than fifty strikes.
After hitting the city wall, two or three unlucky thunderbolt cannons of the North Army collapsed in the roar. The others either hit the city wall or before the city wall, or crossed the city wall and fell into the city.
"Shoot!" Above the city, the thunderbolt cannon quickly adjusted the shooting angle. They had practiced these movements many times. Amid the roar of the thunderbolt, dozens of the thunderbolt cannons were razed to waste.
.
"Start the attack!" Zhang Yuting finally understood that if he competed with his opponent in the thunderbolt cannon, he was afraid that his thunderbolt would be completely beaten in a few more rounds. The opponent's attack was too accurate.
More than a hundred faces of cowhide drums hit the pounding, and the cavalry rushed up first, walked around the city, and took off from time to time to shoot. Behind them, the infantry rushed forward with swords and guns, holding shields, and roaring.
At the forefront of the infantry were soldiers carrying ladders.
At this time, the thunder cannon whose shooting range was not enough to shoot above the city wall has stopped shooting. When shooting again at this time, it will be the enemy and will definitely hurt your own people. This time, half of it was gone.
Above the city, the thunderbolt cannons of the Northern Army are still firing in an orderly manner. Each shot will make several dozen or even more opponent's thunderbolt cannons become scraps.
As the infantry began to attack, amid the shouts of shouting above the city wall, the demon-subduing crossbows were pushed out. They were worried about the opponent's thunderbolt cannon attack, and the demon-subduing crossbows were hidden in the holes in the city tower behind.
Although the Demon-Subduing Crossbow has been improved by Zhengbei Mansion and is much lighter than ordinary bed crossbows, it is still an absolute big guy. Once installed, it is not particularly convenient to move.
Faced with the tide of infantry impact, the Demon-Subduing Crossbow launched a sharp whistle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidin.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support
