Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 712
Soon the Tang Army's first counterattack began. The soldiers of the Tang Army in the forward position ignited the rocket launchers on the launchers and ran back in a hurry.

But the first wave of counterattacks directly stunned the Mongols. After several battles before, the Mongolian army knew that the Tang army had a more advanced artillery.

I also considered that they would have this kind of artillery for defense and offense, but I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.

There are twelve small rocket launchers on each launcher, and five launchers in the forward position form a group.After the soldiers ordered, they immediately fled.

In an instant, thousands of guns were fired around.

This kind of saturation attack does not need to be aimed at. The Mongolian army has suffered heavy casualties before they approach the first layer of defense line of the civil fort.

However, the Mongolian army led by Mengge is the absolute elite of Mongolia. If it was an ordinary army, it would have already started a crowded rout, and the people behind would kill the people in front.

But even after encountering the first round of defensive attacks, their formation was still stable.

Although the vanguard battalion was suppressed, the Mongolian army immediately detoured from both sides of the firepower point to avoid the artillery.

In the battle to conquer Europa, they also encountered some artillery and muskets. Mongolian cavalry used this method to charge. After all, artillery is a long-range weapon. They can't bayonet the cannon, they just need to rush over.

But this time they underestimated his opponent.

Li Qingwei traveled from modern times, and the period closest to him was not the era of cold weapons where bows and horses conquered the world.

It's WWII with tanks, planes, and thermonuclear trench warfare.

Although he couldn't make a Maxim, he couldn't make a tank or an airplane.

But his understanding of field warfare is much higher than these ancients.

Soon the Mongolian cavalry rushed past the first line of defense and approached the second line.

But as soon as the second line of defense arrived, they began to stumble.Li Qingwei's more than 1 guards have been busy in the civil fort for a month, digging these trenches and obstacles.

Arrange barbed wire fences and caltrops made by Tang Lan.

These things he learned from the D-Day landings, these things can stop the Allied landing craft, armored vehicles, let alone a few horses.

The Mongolian army stumbled, stumbled, and some were mounted on barbed wire and wailed.

Although the war horses have shoes, the triangular nails on the feet still make the war horse lose its balance.

Then the counterattack of the second line of defense began.

This time, instead of rockets, ordinary bows and crossbows were used to fight back, and defensive trenches were dug. The rammed earth dug out formed an earthen wall behind the second line of defense.

Then Zhuge fired all his arrows.Slaughtering the Mongolian army suppressed in the second trench.

But this group of people was elite, and their formation was still stable. When they saw the opponent shooting arrows, they immediately drew their bows and set up arrows to fight back.

It's just that Li Qingwei used the bunker-style "firepower point" notch projectile, and the Mongol's arrows fell on the rammed earth, basically not hurting the soldiers hiding behind, but only killing some logistics soldiers transporting the arrows.

Duan Siying was sweating on the city wall, because this was an attack by Mongolia's absolute elite.But Li Qingwei is still having sex with Xiaolongnv, ignoring what's going on outside.

At this moment, Xiao Longnv heard the shouts of killing outside, she held Li Qingwei in her arms and asked, "Won't the emperor go and have a look?"

Li Qingwei kissed her on the cheek and said, "There's no need to look. I have confidence in my warriors. Now is the time for them to make contributions. It's better not to bother them."

With the counterattack of the Tang army, the Mongols were directly suppressed in the deep ditch of the second line of defense, and the mighty Mongol Tartars also had the prospect of retreating.

At this time, they set up cannons on the periphery, but the Mongols' preparations were in vain, because their artillery range was not as far as that of the Tang army.

Their artillery was completely exposed to Tang Jun's field of vision, and then the rocket launcher counterattacked, and whoever set up the artillery would hit whoever.

As for things like catapults, they are even worse.

Meng Ge looked at the heavy casualties ahead, and then sighed, but he was not prepared to withdraw his troops.

Instead, push the second-line reserve team up and let them launch a second round of attacks.

Because Mengge knows very well that this is a war that cannot be lost, because in order to deal with Datang, the Mongolian army has almost brought back all the elite forces in the territory.

If this battle cannot be won, then the dominance of the Mongol Empire will be completely shaken.

This time, it was a decisive battle of "gambling on the fate of the country" for both Tang and Meng.

Right now, the three-way army to rescue the civil fort is coming here, and the surrounding troops have already joined hands with them.The Tang Army of the Three Routes is now like a broken bamboo, and they are coming here.

Meng Ge knew very well that if he didn't play well with "surrounding the spot and attacking aid", it would become "blossom in the center", and in the end, he would be surrounded and wiped out by his opponent just like the Battle of Chang'an.

Then the second offensive echelon of the Mongolian army headed towards the Tumu Fort.

They didn't seem to have any mercy. Some of the Mongolian troops who attacked in the first round were injured and fell to the ground, but did not die, and the second echelon's attack formation had already arrived.

They were trampled to death by their own people.

Moreover, the Mongols who attacked in the second round did not build a bridge, but covered by shield soldiers, resisting the continuous crossbow shooting of the Tang army, and then threw the corpses of their dead companions, horses, and even those who were injured and alive into it. They made trenches to fill in ravines through which their war horses could charge.

Duan Siying couldn't help vomiting when she saw this tragic scene.

The defensive troops of the Tang army on the second line did not love to fight. After seeing the Mongols rushing under the rammed earth, they immediately retreated and entered the third line of defense.

The third layer was the same as the outer second layer of defense, except that the trench was deeper and wider, and the rammed earth wall behind it was also higher.

If an ordinary person fell, although he would not be killed, he would definitely be permanently disabled.But the heavy armored cavalry of the Mongols is not necessarily the same. If they fall, they will probably be shocked to death.

After all the soldiers of the Tang Army came over, Tang Jun immediately lit the fuse of the gunpowder, and immediately removed the wooden boards after the fuse of the gunpowder burned through the trench.

At this time, the horses of the Mongolian army had already rushed through the low rammed earth wall and came towards the third line of defense.

Just as they were about to attack again, the powder kegs buried under the rammed earth wall exploded.

In the gunpowder barrel, Li Qingwei also put Tangmen's special triangular nails.Countless fragments scattered around, and the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Moreover, not only the fragments of triangular nails were scattered, but also a lot of kerosene tied together with these things.

The fire oil barrel exploded and was ignited, and the third line of defense suddenly became a sea of ​​flames.

The Mongolian army was burned by the flames and howled. Although people may not be afraid of the flames, the horses under their crotches were shocked and out of control when they saw all this.

The light of the fire outside shone into Li Qingwei's room, and Li Qingwei stopped at this moment, looking at the light of the fire outside.

He chuckled: "Hmm! It's much slower than I imagined. I just broke through the second line of defense. It seems that I really overestimated the strength of Mongolia's elite."

After he finished speaking, he went on with his own business. The night was long, and they still had a lot of time to enjoy themselves.
