The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 488

A Shu said: "Two generals. In the area of ​​Xiangfan. Our central army already has ten return cannons. Although they are all experimental products, their power is not trivial. It is far better than ordinary heavy-duty catapults. This commander decided. Eight of the ten return guns will be transferred to your army. In the early morning of tomorrow, your army will concentrate all the return guns and trebuchets. Bombard the north gate of Fancheng. Use the continuity of the launch of the trebuchets. Try to suppress the artillery of the Southern Dynasty. Just remember to widen the distance between the catapults. After the shelling, the infantry will start to launch a siege campaign. If you are bombarded by artillery on the way, you can avoid it by lying on the ground. As long as you are close to the inner city wall of Fancheng .Then the opponent's long-range weapon will be useless."

"Marshal, I will understand in the end."

"Also. General Ali Hague. Are there any musketeers in Fancheng?"

Ali Haiya said: "Return to the commander. So far, there has been no musketeer in Fancheng."

"That's good. General Ali Haiya, General Kong Yuan. This commander will allocate another five thousand elite soldiers to you. We will launch a fierce attack on Fancheng starting tomorrow. Try to open the gap from the north gate of Fancheng."

"Yes. Commander."

"General Liu Zheng."

"The end is here."

"The navy intensifies its attack. Try to gain the initiative in the Han River Basin."

"Yes. Commander."

"General Yisi Mayin. You are in charge of commanding the artillery unit at the east gate of Xiangyang City. Continue to bombard Xiangyang. It is the same as the trebuchet unit outside Fancheng. Pay attention to the interval between each trebuchet. At the same time. Our army also adopts The firing method of the musketeers in the Southern Dynasties. The bombardment was carried out in three stages."

"Yes. The last general takes orders."

"General Arahan. General Zhang Hongfan. Each of you will lead five thousand soldiers and horses. As the vanguard, we will set off at the end of the early morning tomorrow (three o'clock in the morning) and attack the Guanzitan camp in the Southern Dynasty. The commander-in-chief and General Boyan will lead five The army of Wan came afterward, storming the camp of the Southern Dynasty."

That night.After approving the memorial from Yingzhou in the account.It's almost midnight.I had a sudden whim.Called Fang Ling, Yuan Ji and Zhang Quanyi.Walk slowly towards the Han River in the west of Daying.Walked for about ten minutes.It feels cool all around.The air also becomes moist and fresh.Although there is no wild and uninhibited taste of the sea breeze on the edge of the Han River.But there is a little more tenderness.

look around.I saw a few tall willows swaying gently in the breeze.It seems to be guarding Hanshui without complaint or regret.century.millennium.go further.It is the north-south Han River.The river was peaceful.Flowing silently in the dark.

"Brother. I didn't expect there to be willow trees here. It's just that there are fewer. Otherwise, it would be a good place for people to spend summer."

"Yes. Wait until the enemy is eliminated. Let Xiangyang Mansion mobilize the people. Plant some trees by the river."

When returning to the big tent.I inadvertently saw the imperial flag erected in front of the big tent being blown loudly.I subconsciously said: "No, the wind is not strong tonight. How could this flag be blown like this."

Listen to me.Fang Ling also said: "Yes. The wind by the river is much stronger than here. I have never seen willow branches and leaves look like this."

I thought about it.Said: "Quan Yi. Go and call Gongsun Xiaochen."

There are such descriptions in many ancient books.suddenly.A strange wind blows.Blow down the big flag in the middle.The protagonist shuddered involuntarily.The counselor next to him will follow suit.This is God's warning to the lord.Enemies will come to rob the camp tonight.

This record in the novel is very mysterious.Let me meet tonight.Could it be that the guardian appeared.It really won't work.

Gongsun Xiaochen walked back and forth under the flagpole several times.Immediately, a device similar to a compass was taken out.Deduce it yourself.in my opinion.His steps were chaotic.There are no rules.Yuan Ji told me.This is Jiugongbu.The Nine Palaces divide the Heavenly Palace into well-tac-toe.In addition to the gossip directions such as Qiangong and Kangong.There is also a middle palace in the middle.

About a quarter of an hour passed.Gongsun Xiaochen, who was sweating profusely, said: "Your Majesty. From the celestial phenomena deduced at the end of the day, the stars come out of the sky. The number of waters is six in the northwest. From the northwest rapids, you can enter the cavalry star. Simply put, this phenomenon is beneficial to the northwest. If you look at the confrontation between the two armies, the Yuan army in the northwest should make some moves tonight. Of course. The deduction ability of the last general cannot reach the level of entering the room. But this possibility is quite high. Let the emperor decide."

"Really. I'd rather believe it." I thought about it. "Xiaochen. You send more scouts. Increase the patrol area. Sir. You go and inform Jiang Wanzai. Let him deploy defenses according to the enemy's attack tonight."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

as expected.When the scout returns the message.Tens of thousands of troops have arrived more than 1000 meters away from the Guanzitan camp.Ashu mentions Suluding.Take the lead.He led the army and advanced another 500 meters to the south.

Although it was dark.But Ah Shu, who has excellent eyesight, can see clearly.Ashu reined in the reins and said, "The first hundred steps of the Nanchao military camp are full of wooden stakes and other obstacles that hinder the progress of the horse army. But the camp is quite quiet. There is no way to see any preparations."

Boyan said: "Marshal, give the order."

"En." Ashu nodded slightly. "General Arahan. You lead an army of 150 cavalry and archers. Use bows and arrows to suppress the muskets of the Southern Dynasty between [-] and [-] steps away from the enemy camp. This distance is the bombardment range of the artillery. Your army forms a loose formation. Minimize casualties. General Zhang Hongfan. You lead the [-]-dao shield army to attack the Nanchao camp. Remember. One is to be fast. The other is to lie down immediately before the artillery explodes."

"Yes. The general will obey."

After receiving the news.Sleeping in my clothes, I immediately rushed to the Guanzitan camp.Naturally, this camp was not as strong as the city walls.Under the repeated persuasion of everyone.I stood on a hidden watchtower about ten meters away from the main entrance of the camp.Yuan Ji, Fang Ling and Zhang Quanyi stood by my side tightly.

"Here we come. Both Ashu and Boyan are here. About [-] steps away from our army." Yuan Ji said.

in the dark.With my eyesight, I can't clearly see the situation of the Yuan army 500 meters away.I just felt that there were countless figures indistinctly in front of me.

"The enemy's cavalry is dispatched. Five hundred paces. Three hundred paces. Two hundred paces..." Yuan Ji was talking.I heard the sound of "boom, boom".Thirty artillery pieces fired their first roar.

immediately.The already dark sky was filled with gunpowder smoke.Makes me even more blind.Only the neighing of war horses could be heard not far away.

Between artillery fires.A round of arrows rained down on the camp.There are Yuan Ji and others.I'm not worried that such cold weapons will hurt me.Just staring straight ahead.After a while.Thousands of sword and shield fighters of the Yuan army appeared 120 steps away.These sword and shield hands tightly protect their bodies with their shields.He rushed towards the camp at an extremely fast speed.

The commander of the artillery battalion made Crete said: "The muzzle is lowered by ten degrees. Ignite. Let it go."

The artillery roared again.It exploded among the cavalry of the Yuan army more than 100 steps away.Although the ears of these war horses are all blocked by cloth strips.But after two consecutive rounds of artillery bombardment.It also started to become manic.

The sword and shield hands of the Yuan army took advantage of the gap between the artillery shells.Go forward desperately.The soldiers at the front had rushed to a distance of 120 steps from the camp.This distance is out of the explosion range of the shell.

Go around the stakes.Thousands of yuan troops rushed to the Guanzitan camp at high speed.

"150 steps. 130 steps." Xie Daolin calculated silently in his heart. "120 steps. 110 steps. Light the fire."

"One hundred steps. Ninety-five steps. Ninety-three steps. Ninety steps. Let go."

The Imperial Forest Army guarding the forefront of the camp is under the command of Xie Daolin and Zhang Shijie.The musketeers lying on the guardrail follow a three-stage shooting method.Constantly firing bullets.The sword and shield of the guards on the side hold the shield in their hands.Blocked round after round of arrow rain for the musketeers.

Mongolian mounted archers under artillery attack.The quasi-minded gradually lost.The feathered arrows shot are not as good as one round.

The Yuan army sword and shield hands are getting closer and closer.The power of the musket is also becoming more and more powerful.Even some weak shields were pierced by ammunition fired from muskets.After paying the price of more than 800 casualties.The first batch of Yuan army sword and shield fighters attacked [-] steps away from the guardrail in front of the camp.At this time.The Mongolian mounted archers in the distance stopped firing.Bows and arrows have no eyes.In a massive mass shooting.No one can guarantee that only Song Jun will be shot.

It is different from the flat shooting of the two armies in front of the formation.Feathered arrows shot at a 45-degree angle can only be group attacks.not for a single target.This is also one of the weaknesses of bows and arrows compared to muskets.

The guardrails of the Guanzitan camp are said to be high or not.Only two meters high.It is divided into upper and lower floors.Use logs as vertical piles.Each pile is about ten centimeters apart.Can only squeeze through a child.It is impossible for a fully armed adult to pass through.The upper floor is paved with wooden boards.The width is about two meters.

The Yuan army rushed forward with a shield in one hand.To prevent the muskets above from shooting.Waving a sword in one hand.rush forward.It is intended to cut off the stakes of the guardrail.at this time.The musketeers lying in ambush on the lower floor heard Wen Zhang yell, "Let go."

Wen Zhang is full of energy.Even in the sound of artillery, the soldiers could hear clearly.

Thousands of musketeers fired at the same time.Together they pulled the triggers.When this round of musket sounded.The soldiers of the Yuan army just rushed to only a few steps away from the guardrail.so close.Naturally, this group of Yuan troops can only become a meal for the musketeers.

Many yuan saber shield players who reacted quickly lowered their shields immediately.To resist the bullets fired by the imperial guards on the lower floor.But it is difficult to avoid being hit by the ammunition fired by the musketeers on the upper floor.

The advantage of the three-stage shooting is that there is almost no interval.After three rounds of shooting.All the Yuan troops in the front fell to the ground.

Being able to shoot at close range is another great advantage of muskets.

Later Zhang Hongfan saw this.An order to withdraw troops was issued immediately.After leaving behind nearly a thousand corpses.The Yuan army ran northward as if fleeing for their lives.
