Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 2068 The Innocent Woman 30
So originally, if they marched in a hurry, they should be able to reach Maple Leaf Fort in the morning, but it was delayed by An Ran's sneak attack along the road, coupled with the low morale of the generals and sleepiness, it was not until evening that they finally saw Maple Leaf Fort.

On this day, they were harassed by An Ran and others, causing more than 2000 casualties.

Before attacking the enemy, nearly [-] casualties have been caused, and countless ammunition was wasted.

This is not over yet, when we got to the place, everyone camped, and when they slept at night, An Ran and the others would naturally not be idle, and continued to harass them, and deliberately threw grenades.

Dong Jiajun thought he would be able to sleep well when he got there, but he didn't sleep well all night. Needless to say, the soldiers, Dong Hanzhang himself didn't sleep well, so he couldn't help but patted the table, saying: "Why is this bitch? How dangerous is it?"

It was a situation he had never encountered before.

Chasing but not daring to chase, and arrogantly harassing the enemy without chasing, can one not be angry? ——Dong Hanzhang doesn't know, An Ran is the enemy's presence and harassment.

The angry Dong Hanzhang immediately ordered to attack the city.

He also knew that everyone didn't sleep well, and it was not good to attack the city at this time, but anyway, the enemies of Maple Leaf Castle were still watching, the enemies outside were always erratic, and no one could be found, so the people in Maple Leaf Castle were always better Playing a little bit, as long as there is a little achievement, it can also make everyone feel relieved and morale can be boosted.

As for the bastion, after Dong Hanzhang arrived, he also took a closer look with a telescope. He has a lot of military command experience, and he soon discovered that this kind of construction is not good for siege. No wonder the people who attacked the city before suffered heavy losses. up.

Since the traditional siege method is not good, Dong Hanzhang does not intend to use human lives to pay for it. Instead, he puts on the cannon and prepares to let the cannon blast for a while. After the bombing breaks the castle, everyone will fight face to face. They won't be able to beat this group of country bumpkins who have not received formal training.

So the defenders on Maple Leaf Fort saw that the enemy pushed the cannon out.

Although everyone has heard that the imperial court and the army are coming, but seeing that they are well-equipped, with muskets and cannons, and now they are going to use cannons to hit them, they are still a little nervous, after all, they have met before. Opponents are not so powerful.

They don't know that the bastion is actually the best building to deal with the current level of artillery attack, because it is equivalent to a fortress.

Of course, the defender must have enough firepower to form a three-dimensional defense.

And don't worry about this, An Ran has been making firearms for a long time.

Naturally, everyone is not surprised that she can make firearms, because what can an old fairy not know?

So when the enemy pushes the cannon out, Anran naturally can't watch. Otherwise, even if the bastion is a three-dimensional defense with multiple layers of defense, if they don't fight back, they will be breached sooner or later. Counterattacked.

Immediately, An Ran ordered the gunners to fire when the enemy came within range.

When designing Maple Leaf Fort, Anran made full use of the terrain of Maple Leaf Fort. Since it is surrounded by water on three sides, the enemy can only come from one side. It was ten meters narrow and wide, and she had others dug up by others.

Ten meters does not seem to be narrow, but for the attacking enemy, it is too narrow. Just squeeze a few people and put some gun mounts, and it will be crowded into a group. This kind of density is not enough for the enemy to attack Maple Leaf Fort. It is very convenient, just hit a shell in the middle, basically it can blow up the enemy to death or injure him.

Therefore, when Dong Hanzhang's men fired cannons on the bastion, An Ran's men also fired cannons below.

An Ran’s people still have fortification defenses, but Dong Hanzhang’s people have no defense, so after the two sides fired at each other, the effect came out——An Ran’s people fired before the enemy fired, and the enemy exploded. Quite a few, both guns were hit, causing the enemy to have no time to fire.

And after being hit by An Ran's men, no matter how powerful an elite soldier is, he can't help but panic when he sees the people around him dead or injured, and instinctively runs back. It is natural to see that since the enemy has cannons, staying in such a narrow place is a complete death. We are all athletes, even if we die, we must die well. Cannonball?

If you think about it this way, how can you not run?
Dong Hanzhang also didn't expect that such a small bastion had guns.

He knew that the Lu family had some firearms. When they were attacked on the road, they often heard the sound of "cannonballs". Children play, not lethal, this thing is lethal.

So he always thought that the Lu family did not have artillery. After all, foreign guns are very expensive. One, plus shells, can buy a lot of ordinary guns and ammunition. Only then did he dare to let his men raise cannons to attack the city.

Who knew that there would be foreign cannons in such a small dock!And the shooting range is not lower than theirs, no, it should be a little farther than theirs, otherwise, Lu's men would fire and hit them before their cannons reached the designated position.

Thinking that this Maple Leaf Fort has foreign cannons with a longer range than his own, and it is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is only a ten-meter-wide road to attack, Dong Hanzhang understands that he is in trouble.

If it was an ordinary moat, he would send people to fill it up. As long as he was not in a hurry, there would always be time to fill it up. However, this is a big lake. Even if he sent people to fill it up, it doesn't mean that it will not be filled for a long time, but it has to be filled up. When?Is it full after a year?But if he waits for a year, according to the development speed of the Lu family, he still doesn't know how far he will develop. It is impossible for him to spend a year fighting against the Lu family in this small Wubao. Of course, the court will not let it go. He fought against a Wubao for a year, not besieging any big city.

But if they don’t die, if they retreat now, let’s not talk about morale. They will continue on their way to the next Wubao. The Lu family will probably harass them along the way again. Dong Hanzhang will feel dizzy at the thought of being passively beaten again.

Of course, it is estimated that the soldiers under him didn't want to continue on their way, and were chased and beaten by the people sent by the Lu family. Although the Lu family also harassed the camp here, it is a big army camp anyway, and the people in the middle can sleep better. Unlike marching on the road, there is no so-called middleman in a long team, and any section is in danger of being attacked, which is too scary. In this way, the soldiers naturally don't want to hurry.

Go, the soldiers don't want to go; if you don't go, Maple Leaf Fort can't be defeated, and Dong Hanzhang is really in a dilemma, just as An Ran expected.

　I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
