Chapter one hundred and thirty-two Close
One round, two rounds …
More than a dozen catapults threw more than 200 explosive charges forward in succession, and the shield wall in front of Tatar was no longer full of holes.
Looking at the shield wall stretching for dozens of feet, there is hardly a shield car that is still intact.
Lose the iron plate defense, the powerful shield car, the shield root can’t stop the lead bullets and shells roaring from a hundred paces away when the Tatar infantry shakes hands with the service.
So hundreds of tiger and leopard soldiers shot wildly, and a new unilateral massacre began. The battlefield of the first and second positions outside Mushroom Yu City began.
However, this massacre did not last long before it was cracked by the butch and leopard troops who had mastered it.
Just now, the guns were densely packed together, and the infantry followed the soldiers, just like the goddess scattered flowers, and quickly spread around, forming a very common skirmisher attack formation in later battlefields.
A large amount of white smoke caused by the shooting of the matchlock gun is troubled. Except for the first round of shooting, the matchlock gun can accurately aim at the enemy in the whole subsequent combat process.
Plus, there are no powerful heavy machine guns in this era …
As soon as thousands of infantry followed, the results achieved by 300 musketeers began to drop sharply.
If it weren’t for the medium-sized Franco’s continuous shooting of a dozen large pieces of shrapnel, it would be almost impossible for the three hundred musketeers to shoot lead bullets, which have been scattered and bent forward to keep the Tatar infantry in service.
However, even with the help of ten French guns, compared with the unilateral massacre just now, less than 30% of the casualties can still stop the pace of the Tatar infantry’s follow-up attack
Mushroom Yu Wei Zheng behind the city wall has not yet reacted from the sudden changes in the battlefield, and Wei Zheng’s face has flashed with a dignified look.
Because from the post-WHO, it is clear that even if the rifle is loaded later than the heavy machine gun, the skirmisher attack is the best way for the attacking troops to reduce their own casualties. Worse, the tiger and leopard troops are only equipped with matchlock guns.
Seeing that the battlefield is moving forward with little casualties, the Tatar skirmisher formation has a heavy tone and said to himself, "It seems that the Tatar has seen that the advantages and disadvantages of our firearms can cause destruction to their dense formation. Once the formation is scattered, the limited firepower density and the muskets can’t be accurately aimed at the battlefield, the muskets can shoot lead bullets to cover every corner of the battlefield, which will also bring mass casualties to the scattered enemies."
Reacting from the shock, Zhou alienated his consciousness and said, "General, then we will watch the Tatars keep advancing to our position … so that we can achieve our goal of mass killing the enemy in the trenches."
Wei Zheng nodded with a face of approval and then replied, "We must find a way to increase our firepower density so that we can shoot lead bullets to cover every corner of the battlefield, or sparse lead bullets will kill the scattered Tatars."
After a short meditation, he ordered to Kelly Y Zhou behind him that "the musket regiment’s 23 rd battalion horse entered the second-line position of the battlefield and fired at the enemy attacking troops at a position of one foot and three feet to increase our counterattack firepower density."
After more than 600 musketeers joined the battlefield, the density of lead bullets swept at the attacking troops in Tatar more than doubled.
Although the dense lead bullets still cover every corner of the battlefield, there are still many enemies who are shot and fall forward with inertia.
At this moment, a sigh full of nai rang out from Kelly Y Zhou’s mouth again. "The general’s killing of the enemy is much better than just unilateral slaughter, but it seems that we can have so many results if we want to kill the enemy through the moat outside the city."
Wei Zheng nodded and answered, "This is what I expected. I said before the battle, we had a loss once and Dourgen would never eat it again. Now it seems that Dourgen is really prepared."
"Since Dourgen is prepared, the battle outside the city will become a close battle, and our advantage in firearms will become overwhelming."
Seeing that everyone’s face slowly emerged with a depressed expression, Wei Zheng’s temper suddenly turned and continued to say, "Of course, everyone is not too worried about the destruction of the Tatars in the trenches outside the city, but I didn’t want to end the battle outside the city."
"In my mind, the real destruction to the Tatars forced the Tatars to retreat, not outside the city but at the foot of the city wall. We had more grenades and muskets than artillery."
Later, many decisive orders were given to the face behind him. "When the strategist ordered all the brothers involved in the war to retreat, give me a retreat. Never let the Tatar archers bring us some unnecessary casualties."
Attack force was launched at the second-line position of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Although people were constantly rushing to the road, these casualties were not worth mentioning for Dourgen, who had tens of thousands of troops.
In the face of the battlefield, Dourgen’s face is always covered with a thick smile.
In particular, Dourgen’s smile was even stronger when he saw that the Tiger and Leopard Army could not stop the attacking troops even though it had made this stunt of throwing explosive charges.
Full of excitement, he shouted at the Ministry, "Tiger and Leopard Arms Forces have tried all kinds of tactics, but there is still no way to stop our attacking forces. Now it seems that we have not been in vain about the research and various preparations of Tiger and Leopard Arms Forces."
"However, no matter how fully we are prepared, the Tiger and Leopard Arms Force is still the chief culprit that brings us casualties. We will ensure more troops to fight a decisive battle with the Tiger and Leopard Army. This kind of attack will be enough even if we have the advantage."
"It is enough for the warriors to regain their morale by capturing two lines of defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army in a row."
"Order the warriors to stop attacking after occupying the second line of defense of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and defend on the spot to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from fighting back. Wait until the firearms in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army are lost in rainy weather, and then give the Tiger and Leopard Army a devastating blow."
"Baylor’s English slave Ma went to Da’s command …" A number of ministries followed closely behind Dourgen answered with a full face of compliments.
Chapter one hundred and thirty-three The impossible becomes possible
Mushroom Yucheng Wei Zheng’s front foot had just left the city wall, and Kelly Y Zhou, a military adviser, followed closely. With a grateful and puzzled expression, he reported, "General Tatar stopped attacking the military adviser and asked me to invite you to the city wall."
"Stop attacking …" Hearing these words, Wei Zheng frowned and the horse wrinkled up.
With a puzzled face, he said to himself, "What does Dourgen want to do? It’s hard to find a way to reduce the casualties of the troops. It’s not the same as taking us to build more defense lines outside the city … Does Dourgen have any new conspiracy?"
Say that finish Wei Zheng turned and trotted in the direction of the wall.
The wall saw Kelly Y Zhou, the military adviser, with a dignified face and a dignified expression. The defender Zheng did not even say hello. He directly raised his monocle and looked at the second line of defense that had been occupied by the Tatars.
With the help of a telescope, we can clearly see that a trench with a width of one foot has gathered a dense number of infantry followers, and we urge them to wave shovels to widen and deepen the foot trench, and a large amount of loess is dug up by the infantry followers, and a retaining wall with a height of three feet is piled up at the same time as the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Perhaps it is to prevent myself from launching a terrorist night attack on them again tonight. A large number of dry materials have been continuously received by infantry followers, and they are prepared to light up the position later by bonfires.
At this time, Kelly Y Zhou, the strategist, first broke the dignified atmosphere around him and said to Wei Zheng, "The general Tatar is the offensive party, but now he is posing a long-term defensive posture for us. Is there any conspiracy against us by Dourgen?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "I don’t know what Dourgen’s plot is …"
"But there is one thing that can be confirmed. After several night raids, Dourgen has been full of fear of our night battles. He is now preparing all kinds of defenses, except for our night raids."
After giving a sigh full of nai, Kelly Y Zhou sighed at Wei Zheng, "It’s really bad to take the initiative to control the battlefield in the hands of the enemy. We must always guess how the enemy can guard against the enemy, otherwise there will be no way to fight this battle …"
"Now we haven’t even figured out the ultimate goal of Dourgen suddenly stopping attacking and turning to defense. General, are we just going to stand by and watch the Tatars build defensive positions and wait for them to attack us at the right time …"
Wei Zheng shook his head again and said with a strange face, "When did you see my military adviser that Wei Zheng likes passive beatings so much?"
"The battlefield initiative is really in Dourgen’s hands, but we can also think of some ways to disrupt Dourgen’s battle plan and force him to fight this battle according to our ideas and take back the battlefield initiative."
When I heard this, Kelly Y Zhou shook his head like a wave drum, and his face was incredible. He asked, "The general can’t be absolutely impossible. It’s impossible to take the initiative to attack our battlefield. How can we have the military advantage in our hands? How can the Tatars listen to us and let him fight as he pleases?"
"If this is the case, Tatar Dourgen will not attack us. Of course, even if he attacks us, we can make him take the initiative to withdraw."
A strange smile passed away from Wei Zheng’s face. Defender Zheng replied to Kelly Y Zhou, "Nothing in the unpredictable battlefield is impossible for us to do. If we work hard, we can do something that everyone knows is impossible. For example, more than a month ago, did you think that our tiger and leopard army would lay siege to the Vietnam War? The stronger the strength, the more troops and the better the equipment, which was recognized by the court and the emperor?"
Seeing that Kelly Y Zhou shook his head and Wei Zheng pointed to the busy second line of defense in front of him, he asked Kelly Y Zhou, "Strategist, from the battlefield situation, no matter what plot Dourgen is holding against us, he now wants to hold on to the line that has just occupied us, otherwise he will not change his position to guard against our night attack."
"What will happen if we try to disrupt Dourgen’s play?"
Kelly Y Zhou replied thoughtfully, "Although there is no guarantee that this will destroy Dourgen’s plot against us, it is still possible to disrupt Dourgen’s tactical tactics and let Dourgen attend to one thing and lose sight of another."
Speaking of which, a little dignified suddenly appeared to Kelly Y Zhou’s face facing Weizheng with a face of concern and asked, "But what the general Tatar is doing is to guard against how we can destroy the tactics and tactics of Tatar in such a situation."
Wei Zheng replied confidently, "We have ways to disrupt Dourgen’s war plan without a strategist."
"Not only that, but I also want to give Dourgen a tit-for-tat night attack, which will give Dourgen a serious blow from morale and tell Dourgen that the real strength of our butch and leopard army has not been shown except the battlefield."
Kelly Y Zhou’s face became more worried and his expression became more transient. He urged Wei Zheng, "General, preparing an exception outside the city of Tatar is aimed at our night attack. We know that Tatar should guard against our night attack and launch a night attack on Tatar in tit-for-tat manner. Can we succeed, brothers? Will the loss be great?
Wei Zheng shook his head with a confident face and continued to affirm, "Of course, I can say for sure that even if I repair the position for another two days, I can easily break it by night attack."
Weizheng face show confidence let Kelly Y Zhou a pair of eyes can’t help but a bright with a full face of expectation asked:
"The general what way? “
Wei Zheng shook his head with a mysterious face and said, "No matter how well the military adviser’s Tatar position is prepared, it will threaten us too late. Bows and arrows, a long-range killing weapon, want us to be tit for tat and break the threat of Tatar bows and arrows to us. Then we will become a god of death who specializes in harvesting Tatar’s life just when we are equipped with grenades …"
"My idea is very simple. It’s just five words, trench and Grenade."
