Facing the powerful weapons of the Liberation Army, Wanyan Ben felt worried and felt that something was not good.
However, Wan Yanliang didn't care at all and forced the army to move forward with the weapons of the Liberation Army.
Arrows were raining down from the front, the firearms were sophisticated and fierce, and the supervising troops from behind were watching eagerly. The front-line troops of the Jin Army were in a dilemma. The attack was blocked for a while, and the army fell into a panic.
Jiang Liangping saw that firearms were effective, so he ordered the bed crossbow to shoot at the Jin Army's siege equipment, trying to use gunpowder explosions to destroy the Jin Army's large siege equipment, while the fireballs fired by the trebuchets were thrown at crowded places. The more, the greater the lethality.
The roaring sound on the battlefield was endless.
The crossbowmen of the Liberation Army aimed at the Jin Army's large siege equipment, such as the Linchong Lugong chariot, Lou chariot, Chao chariot, etc., especially the terrifying Linchong Lugong chariot.
This large chariot is as big as the city wall. It usually has five floors. The top floor can be level with the city wall. It can accommodate hundreds of soldiers, twenty on each floor. The upper and lower floors are connected by ladders, and the soldiers on the lower floor can move upward.
Its top floor comes with an extra-long folding wooden bridge. When the war begins, when the cart approaches the city wall and reaches a certain range, it can lower the wooden bridge that comes with the cart and build it directly on the city wall.
The soldiers in the car can shoot arrows at the soldiers on the city wall, or they can quickly rush to the city wall through the wooden bridge to fight with the defending soldiers. If a few more rush cars arrive at the edge of the city tower, hundreds of soldiers can be launched at the same time. The threat to the city wall is very great.
However, this kind of large tank is expensive to build and has exquisite craftsmanship. It is an absolutely important weapon for war. Most countries cannot afford it, cannot build it, and cannot afford the wear and tear of use.
Since the Jin Kingdom was rich and powerful, Wan Yanliang found the Linchong chariots pleasing to his eye and ordered the craftsmen to quickly build several large Linchong chariots for the purpose of attacking the fortified city garrisoned by the Liberation Army.
Generally, small cities cannot use the beautiful display of this important weapon of war.
The siege party's means of destroying such large tanks are also relatively limited.
Simply burning it with fire is of no use. The chariot is covered with mud and has fire protection facilities, so it cannot be burned.
Attacking with a heavy crossbow is of little use. The impact of the heavy crossbow cannot break through its own protective shield made of cowhide and wooden boards.
Therefore, when some city defenders encounter this kind of heavy weapon of war, they will always try their best to prevent it from getting close to the city wall. Some troops will even open the city gate, light the tails of a group of cattle with fire, and drive them to rush into such large-scale battles. Cars, disrupting the battlefield.
But the Liberation Army was different. The heavy crossbow fired the gunpowder barrel and nailed it hard on the outer protective cover. It was true that it could not break the defense, but it could not withstand the second stage of the attack.
The gunpowder barrel exploded with a bang. Although it was not as powerful as the later yellow gunpowder and smokeless gunpowder, the distance was close and the quality of the gunpowder had also been improved to a certain extent, so it could more or less do some hard damage to these large siege equipment.
An assault vehicle was hit by three rockets. There were three loud booms, and splinters of wood flew out wrapped in the flesh and blood of the soldiers inside.
The soldiers below covered their ears and looked up in fear, and their faces were immediately covered with stinky flesh and blood.
The soldiers above basically lost their combat effectiveness.
About an hour after the war started, the Jin army suffered serious losses. The number of losses was really not small. The frontline commander couldn't bear it and decided to pass the news to the commander-in-chief at the rear.
They asked the emperor if he could pause the attack and choose another opportunity, or think of a new way to deal with the war situation. They could not continue fighting like this.
The Guangfu Army's weapons were sophisticated and sounded like thunder, which had a huge impact on the morale of the Jin army and caused heavy casualties. If the losses could not be stopped in time, excessive casualties would have an impact on the subsequent war situation.
Wanyan Benjian actually felt that it was time to stop and re-study the war strategy at this time, and not rush to attack the city wall. For such a big city, Sun Wu would not dare to say that he could capture it in one go. Wanyan Liang And why bother?
However, when Wanyan Benjian conveyed the frontline commander's request to Wanyanliang, Wanyanliang firmly refused.
"It's just a firearm, why does it matter? Send me an order to hold on for another hour until noon, otherwise you are not allowed to retreat! The moat must be filled as soon as possible, otherwise so many people will die in vain!"
Wanyan Ben saw that he really didn't want to continue watching the army pay meaningless deaths, so he requested: "Your Majesty, this is the first time that the army is facing the bandit weapons. We have no experience and don't know how to deal with it. This is the time when we should discuss it. Why don't we hold it for now?" How about withdrawing the troops, convening the frontline officers to discuss countermeasures, and then discussing an effective strategy to deal with the rebels?"
"Do you also think our army will lose?"
Wanyan Liang stared at Wanyan Benjian, but Wanyan Benjian was immediately frightened and did not dare to say anything.
So the battle continued, and many small units of the Jin Army fell into despair and tried to retreat.
The Supervisory Team also became more ferocious. Hundreds of golden soldiers did not die in the hands of the Liberation Army, but died in the hands of the Supervisory Team.
Maybe he saw the chaos on the front line, or maybe he felt that the casualties were indeed too high. Half an hour later, with a livid face, Wanyan Liang took the initiative to stop the attack, ordered the troops to retreat, and ordered the Huotou Army to bury the pot and make rice, and eat first. Say it again.
As a result, the frontline officers and soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they could have a peaceful meal.
The Jin army began to retreat slowly and orderly.
Looking at the Jin army retreating like a tide, the soldiers of the Liberation Army on the top of the city cheered happily, celebrating the first glorious victory that they had achieved together.
Jiang Liangping also breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his hand that he had been holding tightly, and ordered the guards around him to immediately arrange to deliver food and water to the defenders on the city wall.
Taking advantage of the gap between wars, they can eat quickly, take time to rest, and replenish their physical strength. At the same time, they can increase the monitoring power of the observation tower to prevent the Jin army from coming back at any time.
When the Jin army retreated, there was no disorder, and the army maintained its minimum military appearance. It can be seen that this was not a defeat, but a tactical retreat. The Jin army still had a huge advantage over Hejian City on paper and could not slack off.
The fighting spirit of the Liberation Army remains high.
The Jin Army was more or less panicked.
In order to maintain physical strength and morale, soldiers participating in the battle will also be given an extra meal in addition to the two normal meals.
So in the middle of the day, the soldiers who had just come off the battlefield were sitting on the ground in groups, recalling the horrific battlefield just now, while eagerly waiting for the meal.
At the same time, Wan Yanliang summoned the participating generals and think tanks to his tent, and started a pre-dinner meeting around a roasted golden and fragrant roast lamb.
"Let's talk about it. The thieves have sophisticated firearms and have caused so much damage and deterrence to our army. There is still so much left to fill the moat. How can we continue this battle?"
Wan Yanliang held the meat cutting knife in his hand and played with it slowly.
Judging from the posture, it seems that if the words are good and pleasing to the ears, a piece of mutton will be cut as a reward; if the words are bad or messy, the life will be cut off with a knife, and the life will end.
The generals and think tanks were awe-inspiring and lowered their heads, not intending to be the first to speak.
Wanyan Liang cared for himself and cut a piece of roasted, browned mutton, blew on it, and put it into his mouth. While chewing, Wanyan looked at Wanyan Benjian.
"You don't want to say anything? Then the old general, as the commander-in-chief, let's start."
Wanyan Benjian swallowed his saliva and considered himself unlucky.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the thieves have sophisticated firearms, well-trained troops, and their morale is not low. This will do a lot of damage to our army, and our army's top priority is to fill in the moat so that the siege equipment can work close to the city wall. .
Everything other than that can be postponed, so the old minister thought that we could take advantage of the poor visibility at night to send out soldiers in large numbers to fill the river. Even if the bandits on the city wanted to attack at night, it would not be that easy, right? "
After hearing this, all the generals felt that Wanyan Benjian's method was good and it was a mature and prudent statement.
In this way, the firearm attacks of the Liberation Army can be avoided to a considerable extent, and the moat ditch can be filled in as quickly as possible so that the siege equipment can pass quickly.
It can also minimize military casualties.
Wan Yanliang didn't think this method was bad, he just felt that this method made him feel angry.
The feeling of being suppressed and beaten by the Liberation Army made the fire in his heart grow stronger and stronger.
