My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1903
The flames suddenly flickered on the city wall of Songzhou, bursting out the power that the artillery should have in the Xiaoguowei rear army.

Jiang Lei has been paying close attention to the movement of the Jin Guo artillery on the city wall. Hearing the rumbling sound from the position of the Xiaoguowei rear army, Jiang Lei, who knows the power of the artillery, waved the flag again and again.

According to Jiang Lei's order, Dalong's cannon quickly adjusted its angle, and bombarded the position of the cannon on the city wall again.

Thick smoke billowed above the city wall, obscuring people's sight, but it couldn't block the fire of the artillery when it ejected from the chamber.

Dalong's gunners found the positions of the cannons on the city wall in an instant, and fired back.

On the city wall billowing with gunpowder smoke, the sound of rumbling cannons sounded again, accompanied by the screams of the guards.

Dongfang Ming watched the situation on the city wall, and his brows were deeply frowned. He had been observing the counterattack on the city wall, and used this to calculate the strength of the guards in the city.

However, the situation of the enemy's counterattack was far beyond my expectations.

According to the density of the rain of arrows flying out from under the city wall, according to my own experience, it would take only about a thousand archers to die.

However, when the second round of our own artillery began, the soldiers who suddenly appeared on the city wall were dense, and judging from the crowds, there were at least [-] troops on the southern city wall.

At least [-] archers are required to be in line with common sense. How could there be only such a small amount of counterattack strength.

Not only was he observing the situation on the city wall, but he was also paying attention to the situation of his brothers.

The [-] army was killed and injured by the artillery of the Jin army, and the rain of arrows on the city wall was not enough to break through the defense of the former saber shield soldiers.

The damage done to the siege army is completely inconsistent with the level that the troops above the city wall should have to fight back.

Thinking this way is not because Dongfang Ming felt that his brothers were killed or injured too few, but because he noticed something wrong with the strength of the troops on the city wall.

"Kill!"

Zhentian's thorough yelling and killing was a little more violent again, interrupting Dongfang Ming's thinking and hindering Jiang Lei from waving the command flag.

Jiang Lei looked at the vanguard army charging towards the Wengcheng under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, with a complex and helpless expression, he put down the command flag in his hand.

A sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously.

Before the Wengcheng lost its supposed defensive power under the bombardment of artillery fire, our comrades had already rushed over.

Under such circumstances, how can I assist with artillery fire.

Forcibly firing cannons will only accidentally injure colleagues.

Jiang Lei sighed silently, if the prince had the advantage of artillery fire, he would never let the brothers attack the city with flesh and blood.

The support of the artillery on my side has not reached [-]% of its power, and your side has already killed it. What should I do?

To fire or not to fire?
"Send the order to turn the muzzle of the cannon, raise the barrel of the cannon by ten inches, and the shells will go over the urn and bombard the inner city wall."

"Order!"

In desperation, Jiang Lei could only do his best to provide artillery support to Xiao Guowei's brothers.

But in Jiang Lei's view, this is simply a waste of shells.

He still had to.

Ye Baotong on the watchtower immediately noticed the misfire of his own artillery, and watched the Xiaoguowei who had already entered the Wengcheng and understood the reason for the misfire of the artillery.

The six guards of the new army have been working together for many years, and many generals can guess the intentions of the brothers with a little thought.

However, there are very few opportunities for the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang to fight with the Six Guards of the New Army.

They didn't know how the six guards of the new army were dispatched under Liu Mingzhi's command to attack the city, and they couldn't cooperate with each other with a tacit understanding.

Their siege method is still an old habit developed in the past, and they cannot effectively cooperate with the artillery bombardment to siege the city.

Ye Baotong understood the key point without thinking carefully, and hurriedly jumped off the observation deck and ran towards Yunyang.

"My lord, please order Mingjin to withdraw immediately.

Even if Jiang Lei's artillery support didn't blow up the Wengcheng, the brothers would surely suffer heavy casualties if they went in at this moment.

And it will also limit the support of Jiang Lei's artillery. "

Looking at Ye Baotong's anxious expression standing under the observation deck, Yunyang hesitated for a moment and waved the command flag in his hand.

"Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

In the blink of an eye, the loud sound of gold foil from the rear of the Dalong barracks resounded. Dongfang Ming was startled when he heard the movement, and hurriedly waved the command flag.

"Command, withdraw troops!"

The horn sounded, and Xiaoguowei, who was attacking the city, began to withdraw without hesitation.

Then, in the Wengcheng outside the southern city gate of Songzhou, there were hundreds of corpses of Xiaoguo guards left in a short moment.

Wengcheng, built around the city gate.

Its size will not exceed [-]% of the city gate, and the troops it can accommodate are no more than a hundred people.

As long as they entered the urn city, the guards on the city wall could attack indiscriminately in such a large place.

The fastest and the greatest beheading of the enemy troops rushing into the urn.

This is roughly the case with catching a turtle in a urn.

In an instant, the Xiaoguowei army that was attacking the city withdrew from the range of the Jin Kingdom defenders to fight back like a tide.

Huluta watched the retreating dragon soldiers and horses outside the city, and looked around the city wall with smoke billowing with joy and disappointment.

"Come here, count the casualties!"

"Order!"

What the Songzhou guards are doing, the Dalong soldiers and horses are also doing.

After less than half an hour, Hulu answered, and Dongfang Ming held the battle report sorted out by Sima in the army with heavy expressions.

The guards of the Kingdom of Jin were killed or injured more than 200 people in just half a day under the attack of artillery fire, and more than [-] of them died directly under the explosion of the explosive bombs.

Although Xiaoguowei was a siege soldier, under the cover of artillery fire, more than a thousand people were killed or injured, of which more than [-] people were killed in direct battle. The most serious casualties were the vanguard army who attacked the city.

Although the Kingdom of Jin has artillery, it has never produced more powerful bombs.

Although Xiaoguowei suffered fierce attacks from dozens of artillery on the city wall, the number of Xiaoguowei soldiers who were killed was actually not too many.

The use of artillery has greatly broken the ratio of casualties between the two armies attacking the city and defending the city in the past.

In just one tentative siege, the soldiers and horses of both sides together cost 3000 casualties.

It is true that it is not an exaggeration to say that when the war started, there were corpses floating all over the field and blood flowed into rivers.

Outside the city, in the big tent of the dragon soldiers and horses, Yunyang flipped through the military reports sorted out by Sima in the army, and silently put them aside.

He glanced at Dongfang Ming, who had a heavy face, and didn't say much.

"I don't know if this battle is considered a failure, let's talk about my own opinions."

Dongfang Ming hesitated for a moment: "Let's talk about it first. Judging from the degree of counterattack on the city wall, I always feel that the number of enemy troops defending the city is not as large as we speculated, but the possibility of them hiding their strength cannot be ruled out. "

Yun Yang stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "I think it's not just you, the rest of the generals must have noticed this through the binoculars.

The enemy army on the city wall seems to be mighty, but in fact it means that they are strong on the outside and dry on the inside.

The real cause of the serious damage to our army was the strong urn built outside the city gate. "

"Ye Baotong, Jiang Lei, let me tell you what you think!
You can say what you want, and come up with all the old-fashioned tactics we old guys use.

If you follow the side-by-side king to attack the city, how will he carry out the method of attacking the city?

We can't accept the old, we must make progress slowly in our studies!
Regarding the use of the maximum power of artillery, the six guards of your new army are more convincing than us! "

Jiang Lei and Ye Baotong looked at each other silently.

Jiang Lei put down the command flag in his hand and leaned over the sand table.

"Marshal, all generals, let's talk about the end!"

"Okay, we're all ears."

"The end will not dare."

Jiang Lei picked up the bamboo pole on the side and tapped it on the Songzhou city wall.

"Brother Xiaoguowei attacked the city too fast, and he didn't intend to cooperate with the artillery of the last general.

With the support of my artillery, you should give up the attack on the Wengcheng, and use the city wall as a breakthrough point to launch the act of breaking the city.

Compared with the narrow urn city, the wide city wall can extend the artillery fire to the maximum extent without accidentally injuring the army of brothers attacking the city.

With the power of explosive bombs, when your siege vehicles and ladders are attached to the city wall, the enemy defenders still have no chance to get up and fight back.

It is not impossible to attack the Wengcheng and break the city gate, at least wait for the solid bullets to blow down the solid wall of the Wengcheng.

Otherwise, once soldiers and horses enter the Wengcheng, they will be living targets for the enemy.

Moreover, the vision of our artillery is blocked, so we dare not fire indiscriminately.

What you should do is to use the included angle of the urn city, use bed crossbows and catapults to cooperate with our artillery fire to suppress the defenders on the city wall, and give the infantry a chance to climb the city wall!

Your blind attack may seem brave, but it has curbed the power of our artillery fire more than the enemy.

The end is over! "

Ye Baotong let out a few breaths.

"Marshal, seniors, brothers, let me say something harsh.

In this tentative siege, the Pioneer Battalion fought fiercely regardless of General Jiang Lei's artillery support.

More than [-] people were killed this time, and [-]% of them died in the battle in the urn, which is tantamount to giving the enemy a chance to catch a turtle in the urn!
In the eyes of this general, the mistake is very low-level! "
