Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 604 Artillery Assistance
Wucheng is not easy to fight. As the first line of defense in Fusang, whether Wucheng can be defended and how long it can be held will directly affect the morale of the people of Fusang in fighting against the Sui Dynasty.

For the citizens of Fusang, the Sui army was an invader, an aggressor.Therefore, at the beginning, the Fusang soldiers were very determined to fight.

This can be seen from the fact that after the Fusang navy failed to attack Li Mu's flagship, a large number of Fusang soldiers would rather jump into the sea to commit suicide than be captured.

After the Sui army set up camp under Wucheng, Li Mu ordered Pei Renji, Qin Qiong, and Wu Yunzhao to continue to attack Wucheng in turn.

In the camp of the Sui Army.

Qin Shou was wearing a golden armor and sat on the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent with a big horse and a golden sword.

The following generals are Qin Qiong, Wu Yunzhao, Pei Renji, Zhang Xutuo and others. In short, Li Mu brought all the generals under Li Mu's command who are good at fighting.

In addition to these generals, like Xue Rengui, Pei Yuanqing, Luo Shixin, etc., Li Mu also persuaded these young generals with high martial arts skills to bring them.

Each of these generals is quite energetic, each with bright armor and weapons hanging from their waists, and each of them looks full of fighting spirit.

These generals were ranked on the left and right sides of Li Mu according to the size of their official positions, standing quietly waiting for Li Mu's orders.

After a while, Li Mu stood up, glanced at the generals under his command, and then said in a deep voice, "I want to wipe out Fusang within three months, what do you think?"

As soon as Li Mu's words came out, everyone in the camp immediately fell to their knees, and everyone shouted: "I am willing to serve the general!"

"Willing to serve the general."

These generals are all gearing up, eager to try, all of them are full of confidence, and they want to have a big fight with these Fusang players who are living a good life.

"In that case, let's start studying tactics!" After Li Mu finished speaking, he asked Pei Renji, "General Pei, you are the first to attack Wucheng, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing Li Mu calling his name, Pei Renji hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "General, the last general has some humble opinions."

Pei Renji is a general who can stand on his own, and he is also an experienced veteran. It can be said that Pei Renji's so-called humble opinion is just a self-effacing rhetoric, and his opinion is definitely miraculous.

Li Mu looked at Pei Renji, nodded and said, "General Pei has any ideas, but it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Pei Renji quickly said: "General, the last general thinks that this Fusang must have been instructed by an expert."

After saying this, Pei Renji came to the sand table in the middle of the big tent, pointed to the black dots in front of Wucheng on the sand table and said: "Look here, General, Fusang has built a large number of forts in front of Wucheng. Equipped with huge crossbows and catapults, it can attack the enemy from all directions without dead ends."

"That is to say, no matter how we mobilize troops, we are all under the control of these soldiers. If we want to attack Wucheng, we must first clear these fortresses gradually."

"If we ensure that our army casualties are not heavy, it will take at least ten days to clear these fortresses. In addition, there is Wucheng behind. If we fight like this, it may take a month before we capture Wucheng. .”

"In this way, isn't it just a joke that the general said about conquering Fusang in three months?"

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately asked, "How should General Pei fight?"

Pei Renji smiled, and then replied: "General, the cannons on the ship are very powerful. Now that the water battle is over, it's better to dismantle the cannons on the ship and bombard Wucheng."

"General, you give me this artillery, and I promise to conquer Wucheng within seven days."

It turned out that Pei Renji had been coveting these cannons for a long time.These cannons have always been used by the navy, but their army has never fished them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Renji thought to himself that he had to get some artillery for fun anyway.At that time, if he has won the battle, it is impossible for the general to ask for the artillery back.

When Qin Qiong, Wu Yunzhao, and Zhang Xutuo heard Pei Renji's words, they were all envious of the artillery, and they all wanted to drag the artillery into their team.

"General, give me the artillery, and I will conquer Wucheng within five days!" Qin Qiong shouted hastily.

"General, give it to me, I will conquer Wucheng in three days!" Wu Yunzhao also expressed his opinion.

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

"I conquer Wucheng in one day?" Zhang Xutuo also shouted.

After Zhang Xutuo finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Xutuo with strange eyes.

For a while, the atmosphere of involution in the camp was already very serious.

However, people's seven days, five days, or even three days are somewhat reliable.Zhang Xutuo's day is pure nonsense.

Now, these cannons are still on the ship. You just dismantle them from the ship, install them on the shore, and then drag them to Wucheng. It will take a day.

It is pure nonsense that Zhang Xutuo broke through Wucheng in one day.

Why didn't Li Mu equip the army with artillery? On the one hand, the original Sui had no opponents on land.

The maintenance and maintenance costs of artillery are very high.If the artillery is equipped with the army, the army will have nothing to fight, and it can only waste money for nothing.

The future development direction of the Sui Dynasty must be at sea, so the artillery was given priority to the navy.

Now, Fusang's navy has been completely defeated. In order to quickly capture Fusang, it doesn't matter if the artillery on the ship is dismantled and used by the army.

However, the number of cannons is limited after all, and if they are scattered, the power will be greatly reduced.

Who will give these artillery pieces to whom is another question.

After pondering for a moment, Li Mu said to the generals: "This cannon was given to you, without long-term training, you will not be able to shoot it accurately."

"How about this, I will dismantle [-]% of the artillery from the ship for the time being, and then organize an artillery unit to help you attack the city."

"The one of you needs artillery support, and I will order the artillery to obey your command temporarily."

Li Mu did not dismantle all the cannons on the ship, but expected [-]% of the cannons to prevent Fusang from leaving behind on the navy.

The next battle for Fusang must be dominated by the fortified battle of the city. Even if the Fusang navy left behind, the sailing battleship with [-]% of the artillery was enough to deal with it.

The sail battleship is the bug of the navy of this era. Even if there are only [-]% of the artillery left, it is enough to protect the food road of the Sui army.

Pei Renji, Zhang Xutuo, and Qin Qiong all agreed when they heard Li Mu's words.Indeed, even if they are given artillery now, they don't seem to be able to use it.
