Chapter 2507 Battle Meeting
When the artillery was first put into use, the enemy, whether it was Tubo, Xixia, or the grassland, was astonished when they first came into contact with it, especially ordinary soldiers. They even thought it was a punishment from the gods. At the beginning, as long as the Central Plains army fired artillery, even If there are enemy soldiers, they will kneel down and kowtow, praying to the gods for forgiveness.

But as the army of the Central Plains used artillery more and more frequently, the enemy gradually understood that although they were still afraid of artillery, it was no longer the same as it was at the beginning. Now they are afraid of artillery because of its great power, and it has completely disappeared. In the beginning, it was in a state of not even daring to dodge.

And after this long period of attack, the enemy has actually summed up some experience in defensive artillery, just like the current Mengge tribe royal court. When building fortifications a few days ago, the Mengge tribe built many anti-cannon holes.

After the artillery of the Central Plains Army fired its power, the grassland soldiers immediately got into the anti-cannon holes. The power of the artillery of the Central Plains Army was greatly reduced, and there was no big gain after shelling for a whole morning.

The army of the Central Plains directly bombarded the city wall in the hope of breaking through the city wall that was not too thick in the eyes of King Mengge's court.The earliest walls of the royal court of the Mengge tribe were indeed not too thick. Xiang Yi came to the royal court of the Mengge tribe at the beginning, and the city walls were very simple. However, after Mengge won the Khan of the Grassland, he began to vigorously build the royal court. After receiving some information from the artillery, Meng Ge immediately ordered to re-strengthen the city wall.

Although the walls of the royal court of the Mengge tribe are not as good as some of the walls in the Central Plains, they are much stronger than before. It is not so easy for the Central Plains army to use artillery to break through the city walls.

As expected, the power of the artillery was not enough to break through the enemy to the city wall. The Central Plains army tried to attack a wave, but did not achieve much results, so they had to give up the attack temporarily.

The defenders of Mengge Royal Court used to be cavalry, and they were very good at riding and archery. Although they left their horses, they did not lose their archery skills. The army attacking the Central Plains, facing such bows and arrows, suffered too many casualties. There is no way but to stop temporarily.

After trying to attack for a few days, they didn't get very good results. The Central Plains army had to rethink their tactics!

The commander of the army, as well as Qinglong and others all gathered together, and even Zeng Yi made a detour to participate in this meeting.

"The attack is blocked, I wonder if you adults have any good solutions?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Qinglong said: "It stands to reason that two countries have already been conquered, and the army has rich experience in siege, why is there such a situation?"

"The situation is different. The most important thing is that the grassland people have summed up the failure experience of Tubo and Xixia, and prepared countermeasures in advance, and the fortifications are also specially arranged according to our offensive tactics, so..."

"What about changing tactics?"

"It's useless. Try it. We have already tried all the tactics we use, and the opponent is prepared, but the unfamiliar tactics, let alone how effective they are, just a combination of tactics, can't achieve the desired effect in a short period of time!"

"Then what should we do, or assassinate?"

"Assassination and surrender are everything, so don't think too much about it. Brother Meng has a lot of top-notch experts. If we all attack, the opponent will definitely prepare in advance. After assassinating the Khitan tribe, I am thinking about how to deal with Brother Meng." It is basically impossible to use assassination methods!"

"Actually, according to the current situation, the best option is actually to siege!"

Hearing the words of a general, everyone was stunned. In fact, siege has always been the first choice for siege, especially for a city with complete defense facilities. Generally speaking, to capture such a capital city, you need several enemy troops. , You need to pay several times the enemy's casualties before you can capture the city.

The siege does not require too many casualties. It is much easier to wait until the enemy has run out of ammunition and food before attacking the city. Although the siege has fewer casualties, it will take a long time.

After the war between the Central Plains and the Four Kingdoms began, due to various reasons, the Central Plains had to quickly take down Tubo and Xixia, so the Central Plains army had to abandon the siege tactics and adopt various other methods to attack the city.

Successive successes made Zeng Yi and the others somewhat inflated. They always wanted to take down Meng Ge's court in a short time, and did not consider the siege tactics at all!

But after being reminded by the general, everyone remembered this siege to the first tactic.After pondering for a moment, Zeng Yi said, "Maybe the siege is really possible!"

After passing through Tubo and Xixia, the main reason for not adopting the siege tactics is that the Central Plains fought on multiple fronts, and it was simply unable to support such a long-term tactic of siege, but it was different when it came to Mengge Wangting. Tubo, and Persia was dragged back by the players.

On the grassland, the Khitan tribe was abolished, and now only the war with the Mengge tribe is left. The Central Plains is fully capable and has time to carry out siege tactics.

Moreover, most of the prairie territory has been taken by the Central Plains now, and the whole prairie has only the royal court of the Mengge tribe, who is still in the flames of war. No matter how big the royal court is, it is not that big compared to the entire prairie territory. While besieging, other areas of the grassland were being transformed.

"Yes! The siege is completely possible. You must know that the grassland has just experienced a food crisis. Even if Brother Meng has reserves in advance, he will not reserve too much. There are so many people in the royal court, but they all need to eat. It won't last long, wait until he runs out of food, and see if he surrenders!"

After discussing for a while, everyone's minds were opened, and Zeng Yi continued: "In fact, we can speed up its consumption, feign a wave of attacks every day, and then use artillery to bombard the Wangting City of the Mengge tribe. In this way, it is called a siege. , In fact, it won't take long!"

Shaking the sky also said: "Yes, yes, you can try a new type of artillery shell. According to the news from Jin Yiwei, the imperial court has researched and eliminated a kind of incendiary bomb!"

"What, the incendiary bomb has been researched?" Zeng Yi was very surprised.

"Yes, it has just been tested, but the effect is not stable yet."

Incendiary bombs have always been a difficult problem that the Central Plains wanted to solve. After the artillery was researched, they began to research, but failed repeatedly. The raw material used for incendiary bombs is kerosene. The original idea was simple, thinking of replacing the gunpowder in the shells with The kerosene is fine, but I don’t want to do it like this. The first few rounds are fine, but after a few rounds, the barrel of the artillery gets hot, and often the kerosene starts to burn before the shells are shot out. Not only can the shells not be used anymore, It may also destroy the barrel!
