Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1097 Battle of Qingshan City

The three heads of the coalition forces unanimously decided to find out the details of the Central Plains army first. Since this place belongs to the Western Regions, the heavy responsibility of finding out the situation of the enemy army fell to the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom.

King Wusun really wanted to shirk this task, but seeing Alexander and Alanur looking forward to it, he knew that it couldn't be shirked.

The soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom did understand the Dawan Kingdom better than the Parthians and the Persians, because before that, they were almost able to control Dawan.

In order to arrange the war of the coalition forces normally, and to destroy the weird Central Plains army, King Dawan sent out his most elite spies.

Wusun's army immediately made corresponding adjustments to ensure that his army could support at any time after receiving the news.

In addition to sending troops, the three of Wusun Wang and the others were also thinking about how to break those "fire-breathing" iron rods!
After discussing and finally reaching a conclusion, the three of them came to a conclusion - if casualties were ignored, cavalry could be used to attack and destroy the Central Plains army.

But here is a key point, none of the three of them is willing to use their own cavalry to try!
After all, no one can be sure, the Central Plains army only has one kind of weapon, if there are other weapons, the cavalry casualties are more distressing than the infantry.

How to deal with the vanguard army in the Central Plains, the three failed to reach a consensus in the end.

…………

The Longwei camp was set up next to an oasis.Within a radius of ten miles, Wu Tian had already had someone check it out, and it was confirmed that there was no human habitation.

The center of the camp is Wu Tian's marching tent, where he is discussing the final marching route with Li and Cao.

They are only twenty miles away from Qingshan City!This has been proven.

At the same time, the Longwei soldiers who went out to investigate also found an elite scout team of 50 people. Judging from their clothing, they were soldiers of Wusun Kingdom.

The fifty elite who had been placed high hopes by King Wusun, the Persians, and Commander Anxi were wiped out by the Dragon Guards on the vast and boundless Gobi Desert.

The weapon in Long Wei's hands is doomed that none of these 50 people can escape!When shooting a man, shoot the horse first, without the horse, the man is the target!
"Second prince, we have gone deep alone now, and we have distanced ourselves from the Lord Protector. If there is a war, the main force will not have time to support it." Li Junhou said.

Because they wanted to attack Qingshan City, Longwei marched very fast.After eliminating more than [-] enemies, they moved forward for a certain distance.

Now Longwei is a lone army, if the battle goes against them, no one can save them!
That is to say, the leader of Longwei is the second prince Wu Tian, ​​if it were someone else, he wouldn't dare to move forward like this!
If something goes wrong, it will be dealt with by military law!
"Old Li, the second prince is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Cao Junhou said: "If you want me to say, it is true to rush to attack the city tomorrow before the enemy knows our strength."

"We only have 800 people. Will we be forced to attack Qingshan City? And the enemy has cavalry. If the attack fails, we will explain."

Li Junhou retorted.

I'm still a little worried when I hear that the Dragon Guard's weapons are advanced, but they are far from being invincible.

It doesn't matter if they are dead, the second prince Wu Tian can't have anything to do, and the weapons in their hands must not be leaked.

"But we're all here, not to mention the enemy didn't find us." Cao Junhou said.

What he meant was that the opportunity is rare, if you don't fight a battle, you will regret it!

The two couldn't argue, so they could only look at Wu Tian, ​​wanting to hear Wu Tian's choice.

"Stop arguing?" Wu Tian saw that the two had stopped arguing, and said with a smile: "Before coming to the Western Regions, my father told me that the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the chance of fighting is fleeting. You must dare to make a decision."

Wu Tian's words were indeed explained by Wu Shun. He was afraid that Wu Tian would be unconfident or too confident in the first actual battle and make random decisions.

"Second prince, shall we fight or not?"

Cao Junhou asked.

"Fight! Why don't you fight? Don't look at the many enemies in Qingshan City. We really attacked the city. They can't figure out our details and dare not go out of the city. In this way, our Dragon Guard's advantage is obvious."

Wu Tian wanted to fight this battle very much, and he also ordered it like this.Of course, before the attack, Wu Tian sent someone to notify Zhang Xiong, so that the main force could move closer to the vanguard as soon as possible.

With the order of the second prince, the two military lords, Li and Cao, hurried down to prepare for the siege.

…………

Before dawn, there was a fire in the Longwei camp, which caused the wild wolves in the distance to howl again and again...

After a full meal, the dragon guards inspected their weapons and ammunition, waiting for the second prince Wu Tian's order to go.

In Qingshan City, soldiers from the Wusun Kingdom are on duty today. As soon as they finished their posts as Persians, they discovered something strange outside the city.

An army of about 1000 people appeared in the field of vision.

Enemy detected!

Early in the morning, Qingshan City is lively, and the drums and horns on the city wall are beeping!The King of Persia, King Wusun, and Commander Anxi rushed to the city wall where the enemy was found.

Outside the city, the Central Plains army seemed to be in formation, ready to attack!The distance was too far, and they couldn't see clearly what the dragon guards were doing.

If they had a telescope like Wu Tian's, they would definitely send troops out of the city to stop it.It's a pity that they didn't, and thought that Longwei was arranging a siege formation.

The Dragon Guards were indeed making preparations, they were looking for a suitable shooting point, and the artillerymen were setting up Puyuan small artillery.

Holding a telescope, Wu Tian is carefully observing the layout on the city wall!

Not to mention, the defense of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms is very tight. If it is a conventional attack with infantry, I am afraid that it will take a lot of casualties to conquer it.

However, now Wu Tian is using artillery to attack the city. He first blows up the enemy to the point of doubting his life, and then advances. In this way, the success rate of the attack will be greatly increased.

The enemy's defense was tight, and the artillery bombardment was even more shocking after a while.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the small artillery was erected, and Wu Tian directly ordered the cannons to be fired. Wu Tian ignored the fact that he had to say a few words before starting the battle, and started the fight directly!
"Boom! Boom!"

The two shells missed and exploded on the ground a few feet away from the city wall!
"Adjust the angle and continue shelling!" Wu Tian ordered.

The two cannonballs just now were just to check the impact point. The terrain of the artillery array was different, which may affect the impact point of the shells, and the gunners needed to make timely adjustments.

Suddenly, there were two loud noises, and two large craters emitting green smoke were blown out in front of the city. Alexander, King Wusun, and Commander Anxi looked at each other in blank dismay.

They don't understand, what are the Central Plains people doing?Since we were going to attack the city, why didn't we just rush over and fight with real swords and guns.

Wouldn't it be a rogue to launch an attack every so often?

"King Wusun, is this the Puyuan cannon handle you mentioned?"

asked the king of Persia.

It was the first time he had seen this kind of weapon, and to be honest, he felt chills in his heart!
The shell fell on the ground and directly blasted two big craters. If it fell in the crowd, wouldn't it blow people into pieces?
The king of Persia's quiz, Puyuan small artillery will give him the answer soon!

After adjusting the angle, the artillery that started shelling again sent three shells to the city wall.

boom!boom!boom!
There were three loud bangs, and gravel and dust flew randomly on the city wall, with a lot of minced meat and blood mixed in.

The heat wave generated by the explosion knocked away many Wusun soldiers defending the city. Some were lucky enough to be blown up directly, and they were completely wiped out. Those Wusun soldiers who had part of their body parts blown off but were not dead would be miserable.

The severe pain made them cry loudly!
Such a tragic situation naturally affected the state of other people, and their morale plummeted.

"All stay close to the city wall to avoid the Puyuan cannons of the Central Plains people, wait for them to approach, and then fight back fiercely!" King Wusun roared.

boom!boom!boom!boom……

Finding the right angle, Long Wei began to bombard unreasonably!
Through the binoculars, Wu Tian was shocked to see "flowers" everywhere on the walls of Qingshan City!
Because the city walls of Qingshan City are not built with stones like in the Central Plains, they are mostly rammed with earth.

This kind of earth wall, under several rounds of artillery shells, many gaps were blown out of the virgin wall. If there are more gaps, the casualties of the defenders of Wusun Kingdom will increase greatly!

"King Wusun, we can't go on like this. We must send cavalry out of the city to attack them!" said the King of Persia.

At this time, he was disheveled and very embarrassed, and he ran to land not far away from him. He was covered with a special helmet, and a piece of intestine was hanging on him, looking very funny.But the people present were not in the mood to laugh.

"Leaving the city? What I am worried about is whether the city wall will be blown down!" King Wusun said.

If the Central Plains people continued to bombard, the walls of Qingshan City, which were rammed with earth, might really be blown down.

"King Wusun, you Wusun people stand firm here, I will send people out of the city right away, and we can't let them keep beating us like this!"

The King of Persia said angrily.

Being passively beaten and unable to fight back, this situation is very bad. The King of Persia wanted to end this state. He wanted to send cavalry out from another city gate to attack the army formation of the Central Plains.

"Okay, King of Persia, hurry up! If the Central Plains people stop this kind of attack, our Wusun warriors will immediately go out to take revenge!"

Standing firm here, to put it simply, is to stay here and be beaten, not to mention how aggrieved King Wusun felt.

"King of Persia, you Persians from the left, we Parthians from the right!"

said Aranur, Commander of Rest.

The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, he couldn't let Wusun and Persia contribute, and they hid in peace in the city and did nothing!

In order to get rid of the passive situation, the King of Persia and Commander Anxi quickly ordered the cavalry to go out of the city. Two cavalry went out of the city, one on the left and one on the right, and ran towards the Dragon Guard's position!

The artillery fire is still going on, without a small artillery, Wu Tian has distributed ten sets of artillery shells, the gunners can fire without restraint, and the artillery shells moved to the battlefield are not finished, do they have to be brought back?
"Second prince, everything has been arranged!" Li Junhou ran over and wanted Wu Tian to report.

"Li Junhou, go to the left and watch carefully, pay attention to orders at any time, and play by ear!"

"Here!"

"Marquis Cao, go to the right!"

"Here!"

The two Marquis Li and Cao followed orders and went to the left and right sides of the position. They turned their heads from time to time to see where Wu Tian was, for fear of missing the semaphore and delaying the battle.

The front of the position is the east gate of Qingshan City, which is being ravaged by artillery fire. However, in Wu Tian's telescope, he saw the enemy's cavalry!

"As expected, it's not too stupid!" Wu Tian laughed.

"Notify the two military lords on the left and right that enemy cavalry have been found on both sides of Qingshan City. Let them get ready and don't worry!"

"Here!"

After the order was passed, Wu Tian continued to observe the movements of the two cavalry through the binoculars.

Generally speaking, Longwei is still in the category of infantry, and is also afraid of the impact of cavalry.However, the restraint relationship between arms will be affected by many factors.

Utilize or create some favorable factors, if not enough, you can also wipe out the cavalry!
The speed of the enemy cavalry was very fast, and it didn't take long to approach the Dragon Guards formation.On the front, the artillery fire was still there, unaffected by the cavalry. On the two sides, the two soldiers, Li and Cao, waited eagerly for Wu Tian's order.

"Light it up! Blow them up!" After calculating the burning speed of the fuse of the gunpowder package and the speed of the enemy cavalry, Wu Tian ordered decisively.

"呵呵呵味..." On the left and right sides of the army formation, a few slender wires were emitting green smoke and sparks, and they were rushing towards the direction of the enemy cavalry.

The Persian and Anxi cavalry had been moving forward cautiously, fearing that they would fall into the tricks of the Central Plains people. Now that they were very close to the Dragon Guard, their bloodthirsty and crazy nature was immediately revealed.

"Woooooo~"

The Persian cavalry and the Parthian cavalry brandished their scimitars, screaming and rushing forward!

But soon they discovered that the Central Plains people who should have been terrified didn't have any panic on their faces, and there were even people who laughed at them.

Be sure to crush them!

This is what every cavalry thinks in their hearts!
"Boom~boom~" There were two earth-shattering loud noises, and the Dragon Guard position attracted everyone's attention!
The smoke and dust cleared!Horse corpses and human corpses everywhere!

Some war horses that haven't died are looking for their owners everywhere!
"what!!"

Hearing the loud noise, King Persia, King Wusun, and Commander Anxi drove to the Dragon Guards formation outside the city and sat there, only to see that the place was covered by huge smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.

When the smoke cleared, the scene was unforgettable!The casualties are too serious!
Outside the city, Li and Cao, who had just ignited the gunpowder, ordered to rob them when they could see the enemy cavalry.

Enemies who dare to come out don't have to go back.

There was a bang of gunfire, and the despondent cavalrymen of the two countries who were bombarded by gunpowder on both sides were fired from behind again, and immediately fell down unwillingly!

The cavalry charged, and hit the gunpowder before hitting anyone!This is the sorrow of the Persians and Parthians!

"Report to the second prince, the enemy cavalry on both sides have retreated, and the two military lords stopped and wiped out hundreds of enemies!" A messenger ran to report to Wu Tian.

"Very well, let them keep watching, the enemy's cavalry may come back." Wu Tian confessed.

"Here!"

The messenger returned with Wu Tian's order, and Wu Tian also focused his attention on the city wall again. He was wondering if he could let the attacking team go up!
The city wall of Qingshan City has already been bombed, and there are also large damages in many places.

"Blow open the city gate first!" As soon as he thought of it, he immediately went to do it, Wu Tian directly ordered, under the cover of artillery fire, the attacking team blasted the city gate.
