"So, do you know what we should do?" Dai Mubai obviously wanted to take the exam.
"Since the inner city and the outer city are not unified, then we should..." Li Mengdie turned his head and looked at the artillery not far away.
To be honest, there were several units of this thing on each floor, but Li Mengdie had never thought of using it.
Because there were too few people at that time.
But now, if this huge cannon is used to attack the outer city and trigger the outer city defense force to bombard the fortress...
As Dai Mubai said, the outer city defense forces would never dare to bomb indiscriminately. As long as they prepared in advance in the castle, the only ones who would be harmed would be the inner city troops surrounding the outside.
Dai Mubai pointed at the map of the castle: "I originally didn't dare to carry out such a crazy plan, but now, we can know from the map that there is a solid passage below the first floor of the castle, which can lead to any direction of the castle. Even leaving the city directly, only the castle guards know these secret passages, and after the battle just now, I don’t believe they can guard all the exits.”
"...Under the current battlefield situation, it is unlikely that they will really defend."
"If the artillery in the outer city does not dare to bomb, we will continue to bomb the inner city. But if the opponent counterattacks, the inner city army below will have to withdraw, and we will have the opportunity to carry out our large forces with the most advanced equipment. Breakout."
Li Mengdie nodded, she agreed with Dai Mubai's plan.
The castle is too big. Although it is only made of stone, as long as they are near the central staircase area, the first few rounds of shelling should not hit them.
To be honest, after the previous brutal battle, this artillery was already an extremely terrifying thing in Li Mengdie's heart.
But in fact, Leng Xiyue is like a game campaign planner, and has obviously considered many plot trends.
This artillery has not reached the level of modern field artillery. It is still an antique from the Second World War. Yes, it is the 88 anti-aircraft gun.
Of course, this is a specially modified version of Leng Xiyue, and all the 88 cannons have been changed to flat-fire anti-soul master cannons.
This thing is considered an old antique of the Imperial Army. It was heavily equipped in the early days of the Northland Independence War and used ammunition that was not very explosive.
Although there are high-explosive bombs here, they are not in large numbers, accounting for less than 5%.
This is the only ammunition reserve allocation in the castle. Dai Mubai speculated that the number of high-explosive bombs in the artillery positions in the outer city must not be large or even not allocated at all. If so, from a distance of several hundred meters, they would not be able to blast the castle for a whole day. It will definitely explode...
In this way, rather than the expected solid retreat plan, it is more likely to use the castle fort and the outer city fort to bombard each other, and then the large troops in the outer city will launch a sneak attack, seize some forts, and then turn the muzzle to attack the nearby forts. , and then continue to occupy it. In this way, catching the turtle in the urn is completely completed.
At that time, he would put a machine gun on the upper level of the castle and shoot down below. The artillery on both sides would attack the inner city army together, and the overall situation would be decided.
Soon, Dai Mubai formulated three combat plans and sent them to Zhu Zhuqing using the communication device.
Li Mengdie was not idle either. He divided fifty people from the original guard and found ten suitable artillery positions. Then Dai Mubai also began to teach them how to operate these artillery positions just like he had just taught the machine gun positions. He also explained how to retreat and save his life, and then carry out loading work after a round of enemy bombardment to ensure that he would not be affected by the enemy's bombing.
After everything was ready, Dai Mubai launched a preemptive attack, aiming at the artillery position in the outer city and firing a volley of artillery.
Such a sudden attack obviously caught most of the city guards off guard, so they quickly began to organize a counterattack, and various positions began to bombard the castle.
It has to be said that the count had already thought of this when he defended the castle. Therefore, several buffer zones were built where the cannons were installed in the castle. He was afraid of being bombarded by artillery from outside. The enemy's seemingly massive counterattack was actually not very effective. Just scraping off a layer of the castle's skin.
Rolling rubble poured down from the blasted castle, hitting the inner city guards below.
It was good luck. In an unlucky southwest direction, a cannonball accurately fell into the crowd and took away dozens of people.
"People from the outer city! What's going on with you!? Don't you know we are under siege? How dare you launch an artillery attack?"
The temporarily elected top officer of the inner city legion quickly called the captain of the outer city guard and cursed angrily.
"You losers, you have the nerve to talk to me? If you were really that useful, you wouldn't have to subject us to such fire suppression!"
Before he finished speaking, a cannonball exploded in the surroundings. At this moment, the conflict between the two sides had intensified to the extreme.
An indestructible chain of suspicion was formed between such a test. People in the outer city believed that the inner city was besieged but not attacked in order to allow the group of thugs to fight with the outer city from a distance and finally reap the benefits; The people in the city felt that the people in the outer city wanted to take the opportunity to kill them and the thugs, thereby seizing the supreme leadership of the earldom.
Under this situation, both parties had lost the basis of trust and could only fight on their own. Soon, this communication ended.
The bombing of the outer city wall forts continued, but the damage to the castle was minimal. It was impossible to target the forts inside the castle from such a long distance. Similarly, it was difficult for the castle's forts to hit the outer city artillery positions. Although both sides were powerful, But in fact, the people on both sides were not professional artillerymen, and the outer city troops had never used artillery in actual combat. Both sides were half-baked.
Therefore, the bombing by the outer city army posed a great threat to the inner city army, while the bombardment by Dai Mubai was more like a provocation. On the one hand, he missed the target, and on the other hand, he did not dare to attack the outer city and accidentally injure friendly troops. , mainly shelling the inner city to disrupt the situation.
The commander of the inner city looked at this scene and knew that he could not delay it any longer. He sent people to deliver messages to the people in the outer city and began to organize an attack.
Only by taking down the castle can this situation of mutual distrust be changed.
At the commander's call, a five-hundred-person attack team was quickly summoned.
Except for the 300 men who will attack along the main staircase and the two climbing ladders for slaves in the castle, the rest will attack along the walls.
Soon, these five hundred people started a crazy attack and rushed forward at the same time.
Dai Mubai had sealed off all directions, including the windows and any place that could lead to the first floor. As soon as those people came up, they were swept into a sieve by the machine gun position.
At each window, two rebels armed with fully automatic rifles were alternately firing cover, ensuring intensive fire suppression at all times.
