Regarding the ability of the soldiers under his command, Yang Feng, who personally went to the battlefield to command the battle, was much more confident than Lu Su.

Chapter 81 Fire!

"Okay, since that's the case, let's arrange it like this over there."

"In addition, the third soldier, Ma Si, will also act with you this time. This team is basically composed of sword and shield soldiers. If they attack the city alone, the losses will be too great, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

"Commander Pei has already set off early. It is estimated that the battle on the western front will start to break out in a short time. It is estimated that the Yueren defenders will also transfer their troops to the west of Jing County for defense."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two armies of the second and third soldiers, Ma Si, rushed into the city from the front in one fell swoop, trying to capture each other before it gets dark today!"

……

After simply assigning their tasks to everyone, Lu Su stroked his beard and walked back to the tent.

The plan has been laid out early, whether it is an open line or a dark line, it has already begun to operate.Looking at it this way, there is no problem for him to solve on the current battlefield.

As a military adviser, and also when Zhang Yan was away, Lu Su's next task was to sit in the army, the temporary commander of Lujiang's three major soldiers and horses, and then make some subtle decisions about the war based on the intelligence of all parties. Just adjust.

As for the frontal battlefield...

It is a bit exaggerated to say that, although the army under Zhang Yan has always been characterized by high military costs and strict military discipline, compared with other armies of this era, the biggest difference between these soldiers is that no matter which one they are The soldiers and horses are equipped with two commanders, one positive and one negative, and there is also a marching governor who is in charge of the battlefield layout.

This is not a luxury for most armies in this era.

With such equipment, no matter which battlefield it is on, it will have its own commander and its own "military adviser".

For the Eastern Han Dynasty, where knowledge was still in the hands of the aristocratic family, this was simply unimaginable for others.

Don't you see, until Liu Bei came all the way south from Xuzhou to Jingzhou to borrow land from Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang was the only one in his army who knew the existence of marching formations.

More often than not, generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to be in charge of matters on the frontal battlefield, which led Zhuge Liang to consider almost all combat details in every battle, and even made troubles. Later, he prepared the "tricks and tricks" in advance, which seemed miraculous, but was actually full of helplessness and sadness.

As far as the current Lujiang army is concerned, as long as it is ensured that each battlefield has at least one full-fledged soldiers and horses to participate in the battle, no matter whether it is a family member with a professional background like Fa Zheng and Xu Huang, or a talented and self-taught man like Liao Hua A good commander can ensure that every battlefield can be properly commanded.

In this way, Lu Su, who is in charge of the overall situation, can save a lot of energy to do some more meaningful things.

It's just these, for the current Lujiang, and for the current Lujiang army, they didn't attract much attention.

Even Zhang Yan himself didn't realize how much advantage he had in copying the military system of the later Ming Dynasty compared to other command systems in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In this ignorant state, the two troops, one with more than [-] people and the other with more than [-] people, slowly moved out like this, and they came to the city of Jing County with a huge sense of oppression.

Accompanied by the sound of exciting military drums, at the west gate, the first soldier under the command of Pei Yuanshao, Ma Si, took the lead in attacking, and a large joint formation of more than 1 people slowly spread out towards the city. Stepping out under the protection of heavy soldiers, the long and thick brass barrel was aimed at Jing County in the distance.

……

"Marshal, what are these guys... What are these guys doing?"

"They've been two hundred steps below the city gate for such a long time, and they haven't attacked the city, and they haven't retreated. Where are they busy?"

……

A simple question, while the Han army outside the city was mobilized on such a large scale, did the Shanyue defenders inside the city know?

Of course they knew.

As early as when Pei Yuanshao led people to kill towards the west gate of Jing County, Shanyue's eyeliner who was standing guard at the city gate spotted them, and urgently reported them to the current temporary commander of the city's defenders, Shanyue's commander-in-chief Pan Lin .

Facing the Han army who was making small moves in the distance, Pan Lin was also a little confused at the moment.

He stood at the head of the city like this, looking at the Lujiang army lined up not far away.

Although relying on his superb personal martial arts and physical fitness, Pan Lin can vaguely see what kind of golden copper pieces those Han soldiers are playing with, but he has never seen a firearm before, so naturally he would not know the number one soldier at this moment. Everyone in Ma Si, what a strong shock he will bring to him later.

It was a magnificent sight that can only be witnessed once in a lifetime, and it was also the one who completely changed the battlefield situation at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, making the Huaxia Military Science in this world surpass the limit of the times in an instant, and rushed all the way to the distance at an unimaginable speed.

……

"boom--"

Accompanied by ear-piercing roars, dozens of weighted iron balls were like hailstones falling from the sky, covering all the land within tens of meters near the city gate on the west side of Jing County.

Under the violent impact, the ground that had been trampled firmly by the people before was violently churned like boiling water.

In the air, gunpowder smoke visible to the naked eye began to fill the battlefield.

And as the city gate that suffered the first wave of artillery bombardment...

A large number of wooden structures were scattered in all directions, and the buildings above the city gate were like mud kneaded by children, quickly turning into a pile of dust under the impact of the shells.

……

"This is probably some kind of siege weapon?"

……

That's what he meant to say.

The moment he saw those shells flying in his direction, Pan Lin finally knew what the Han army had been preparing for the past time.

It's just a pity that the power and speed of hot weapons are far from what people in the era of cold weapons can understand and accept.

At the first moment, Pan Lin's legs were tense, as if he wanted to dodge.

But the shells don't matter.

With the blessing of a large amount of high-quality granulated gunpowder, the solid iron ball with a diameter of 70 mm crossed the shooting distance of more than [-] meters in an instant, and actually bombarded the platform where Pan Lin was. .

The city tower, which was originally made of thick stones, collapsed and scattered a large amount of debris towards the rear as if it had been kicked hard at this moment.

Unfortunately, a splash of gravel hit Pan Lin who was not far away, and threw him, together with several soldiers beside him, from the tower several meters high.

……

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

……

A belated voice finally resounded in Jingxian County. Many Shanyue soldiers who were waiting on the city tower rushed towards the stairs behind, scrambling and crying as if they were frightened.

Stumped limbs and broken arms flew across as if they didn't need money. Almost all the soldiers who were hit by the stones stirred up by the shells flew backwards while spitting blood, as if they were hit head-on by a horse galloping at full speed.

A few unlucky ghosts on the upper floors of the city gate were hit directly by the flying shells.

Although this round of bombardment did not cause too many casualties, the scene where the human body was ruthlessly torn apart by a high-speed moving object, and a large amount of blood mist was brought to the rear, still completely broke down the mentality of many defenders.

……

After all, not everyone has Pan Lin's perverted reflexes, and not everyone is like him as a powerful military commander who can clearly see the Iron Death flying towards him with his own dynamic vision.

……

For most people, they just heard a roar like thunder, and then completely lost consciousness, and the world fell into long-term darkness.

……

PS: Second more!

The condition is good today, and there will be one or two changes later. It is estimated that there will be a little more this month, so as to make up for the fish caught last month.

Also, the author does not release everything written.There will be an update event from the 19th to the 29th of this month, and I am silently saving manuscripts, wanting to join in the fun.

Ehe.

Chapter 82 Broken City?

"Tsk, what a pity..."

The gunpowder smoke on the battlefield quickly dissipated, and with the winter gust, the results of the previous round of artillery bombardment were soon displayed in front of Pei Yuanshao and others.

……

In the first round of salvo that just took place, fifty artillery pieces assembled by Ma Siman, the first soldier of Lujiang River, fired at the distant city gate almost at the same time.

Although the power of each cannon is not too great, in this era when the siege basically relied on ants to join the building vehicles, the power of the intensive bombardment of fifty cannons still brought a lot of power to the west gate of Jing County. damage.

More than a quarter of the shells successfully hit their target—that is, the city gate under the gate tower, which was made of thick wood and covered with a layer of iron.

Under the bombardment of many projectiles, the city gate, which was not considered strong at all, didn't last for a moment, and it quickly distorted and deformed, and even a large number of cracks appeared on the city gate——

That's right, although the heavy bolts behind the city gate have not been blown off, the overly large city gate seems to be unable to withstand the toss of war weapons after more than 1000 years.

And the remaining nearly [-]% of the projectiles fell evenly inside the circle with the city gate as the center and a radius of more than ten meters with a two-dimensional normal distribution trend.

……

When it hit the ground, the soil on the ground was quickly turned up and flew around.

Bombarding the city wall, the city wall made of stones made of rice milk and tung oil also seemed to have no resistance, and cracks burst out inch by inch under the bombardment of the lasing iron balls.

Bombarding the city tower, the simple wooden structure has no strength at all under the high-intensity firepower.

Rather than saying that most of the soldiers were directly killed by the artillery shells, it is better to say that this round of artillery fire completely overturned the previous city tower, causing many soldiers to be buried under it, and became the first place to sacrifice to heaven after the two armies went to war. A wisp of dead soul.

……

"It's a pity. If there are more hits, it is estimated that the city wall can be blasted directly?"

"The timing of the firing was not consistent either. The salvo was supposed to be good, but if the timing of the firing was a little bit off, the timing of the artillery firing would be off by three minutes, and the timing of the shells falling to the ground was even worse."

"A good volley turned into a few seconds of fire coverage..."

"If it can be more unified, maybe the effect will be better?"

Standing not far from the city gate, Pei Yuanshao grinned like this, watching the results of the battle in the distance, while making sharp comments from time to time.

Just looking at his smug look, and turning his head to glance at the artillery position from time to time, it's clearly not dissatisfaction, but rather showing off.

After all, among the two soldiers and horses equipped with artillery units, the first soldier and horse has the longest contact with artillery and the most diligent training.

If it were the soldiers of the second soldier, Masi, maybe a quarter of the artillery that hit the city gate before would drop to one-sixth, or even less than one-tenth.

Now that there is no fire control system and the accuracy of the artillery is not high, whether it can be shot smoothly depends on the artilleryman's technique, and the accuracy of the shot is entirely determined by luck.

To be able to maintain a quarter of the hit rate, and to replace anyone, is an achievement to be proud of.

……

"Old Pei, don't be too happy..."

Beside Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang was riding a steed, holding a long knife, and looking in the direction of the city gate with a serious face.

Unlike Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang's attitude is very cautious and serious when it comes to fighting.
