If the opponent has not yet gathered together, sending a cavalry charge can still kill some people and kick over their cooked meals, but that won't work now.
The enemy's battle formation has been assembled and prepared. The number of cavalry is too small, and it is not possible to kill them without many people. Instead, there will be losses, and the gain is not worth the loss.
"Let the cavalry wait for orders in the city, let the ambush disperse, and go up to the city wall to prepare for defense."
"receive!"
The ordering soldier conveyed the order again.
It was already noon, and the Huotou Army carried the prepared meals up and served them to the soldiers.
Wang Hao held the bowl and ate the rice while thinking about how to deal with it.
After Ren Jun returned to the army, he ordered,
"The county seat has been captured by the enemy. Our army has set up camp, assembled trebuchets, collected stone bombs, and after dinner, the entire army will attack the city!"
"receive!"
Ren Jun gave the order and the whole army moved into action.
They set up camp in the south of the city and prepared fortifications. The trebuchets were assembled one by one. Most of the soldiers pulled the carriages and collected stones from the mountains on both sides in preparation for attacking the city.
On Wang Hao's side, there was a trebuchet, but there were not many stone bullets. After all, the army was on the road and it was impossible to pull too many heavy stones along the way.
I just arrived in the county last night and haven't had time to collect stone bullets today.
Ren Jun had many people under his command, and it only took an hour to collect a considerable number of stone bullets.
After they walked into the military camp and finished eating, the army went out of the camp to form a formation, rolled out the trebuchets and carried the ladders, and prepared to attack the city.
Nanhe County is just a county town, its area is not large, and not many people can stand on the city walls.
Wang Hao ordered the four walls of the city to be guarded by 10,000 people on each side. If they could not stand on top, they waited below.
Another 10,000 people are kept as reserves to support whichever side is attacking fiercely.
Soon, the army outside dispersed and went to attack the other three walls.
If Ren's army launches a siege, it will naturally focus on the south, but it cannot give up on other city walls and must attack them as well.
Firstly, it can contain and disperse the opponent's forces, and secondly, it can promptly discover where the opponent's defenses are weak, and then quietly send an army to attack in that direction.
After the entire army was deployed, Ren Jun gave an order, the drums sounded, and the four walls began to attack.
This side of the southern city wall is the direction of the Korean army's main attack.
Before the army could charge, the trebuchets began to operate.
Dozens of trebuchets outside threw out dense stone bullets, whizzing towards this side.
"Duck down to avoid it!"
Wang Hao shouted loudly, and the defenders on the city immediately squatted down and huddled behind the city stamps to avoid the trebuchet attack.
The Korean army outside the city also took advantage of the opportunity for the Feng army to avoid the trebuchet attack and rushed forward.
While avoiding, Wang Hao observed the direction of the trebuchet outside, and then asked the messenger to report to the trebuchet behind the city wall to hit the opponent.
Nie Chen said that in field battles, the way to deal with enemy trebuchets is to use city-breaking crossbows to strike accurately, and hit them accurately.
In a city defense battle, the way to deal with a trebuchet is to use the trebuchet to hit the opponent.
Nie Chen is a great inventor. His improved trebuchet has a range that exceeds the opponent's trebuchet, and can hit the opponent's trebuchet.
Nie Chen once used this move to deal with Liu Hu and Ning Wushuang's trebuchets.
Of course, these are not the only two ways to deal with trebuchets mentioned by Lord Nie. There is also the simplest and most effective way, which is to use a big cannon to bombard him.
However, at that time, no one knew what Nie Chen's cannon bombardment meant, so they didn't take it to heart.
After the trebuchets in the city obtained the opponent's position, they began to debug and aim.
During the debugging process, the enemy's second wave of stone bombs arrived.
Boom boom boom!
As those huge stones fell, some hit the walls of the city, some hit the open space, and some hit the top of the city.
The stones that hit the city head directly smashed some unlucky Feng Jun into a pulp. The surrounding Feng Jun were also injured by the gravel shot out, and some of the broken army crossbows were also smashed.
Finally, the trebuchet on Feng Jun's side was also debugged. Dozens of stone bullets were thrown outwards, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky. In the stunned eyes of the Korean army's heavy troops, , crashing onto the opponent's body.
Boom!
With the sound of explosions, more than a dozen trebuchets of the Korean army were directly smashed to pieces, and some lucky heavy troops, who also liked the pie-in-the-sky set meal, were smashed into the pie. of minced meat.
Ren Jun, who was on the general stage of the Chinese army, saw his own trebuchet being smashed by the opponent's trebuchet. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed,
"The enemy's trebuchet is a bit interesting, and its range is exaggerated. I heard before that Nie Chen is a skilled craftsman and can invent many good weapons. Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Next, we should look at other weapons he invented.
Our army has rushed to the bottom of the city wall, stopped the trebuchets, and retreated. Our trebuchets are very precious, and we cannot let the enemy smash them all. We must be prepared for a protracted war. "
Hearing this, General Zhang Feng beside him asked,
"A protracted war? Commander, are we going to keep fighting the enemy?"
Ren Jun smiled and said,
"Of course, you don't think we can defeat it in one day, do you? The opponent is Wang Hao. Do you need me to tell you what Wang Hao's record is? He can be said to be the first person to defend the city against gale.
Do you really think that 200,000 of us can easily take down a city defended by 50,000 people led by Wang Hao? "
"Then how long do we have to wait? We can't keep wasting it."
"It depends on when Mingwu dies. When he dies, we will probably be able to withdraw our troops."
"Ah? Mingshuai, he... Marshal! We are going to rescue Mingshuai. He is the emperor's son, his legitimate son. He is going to die. What should I do if the emperor wants to blame him?"
"What should I do? What can I do? Mingwu, that bastard, was fooled by Nie Chen. Of the 200,000 people who were beaten, only tens of thousands were left. Now he is surrounded by more than 200,000 people from Nie Chen. He will definitely die. !
Even if our army goes to rescue them, they have to capture Nanhe County to rescue them, but this is why Nie Chen asked Wang Hao to defend the city.
He wants Wang Hao to hold us back and then wipe out all the Mingwu troops.
Mingwu couldn't hold on for a few days. A few days ago, he sent a message to Emperor Feige saying that there was no food and grass.
Now, either he breaks out and joins me, or he dies.
Or we can try to see whether I capture Wang Hao's city first or Mingwu dies first.
If Mingwu dies, Nie Chen's army of 300,000 can be mobilized to attack our army. At that time, our army will have to retreat. We cannot disperse in batches to kill the enemy.
What a bullshit prince, one general was so incompetent that he exhausted the whole army and ruined a good situation. "
