The soldiers came out and thousands of horses galloped.
Behind a hill, Tianlidu and Battelle waited for the news from Xizuo:
Daning is under martial law, with He Fu guarding the north gate, Ma Pu guarding the west gate, and Xu Zhen guarding the east gate. There are only more than 10,000 troops in the city.
Tianli looked at Battle: "I will contain He Fu, and you will lead Xu Zhen to take action. This time, we must win!"
Battle solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight to Daning City!"
Tianli all admired the young and promising Battle. He was good at trickery and was known as the "little devil" in the Uliangha tribe. His archery skills were even more outstanding. It would be best to have him deal with Xu Zhen.
The troops divided into two groups.
Tianlidu brought four thousand cavalry and rushed towards the north gate of Daning. The terrain here is open and suitable for the use of troops.
Facing the Ming army on the city wall, Tianli didn't make any stop, didn't say a single hello, and directly led his troops to charge towards them.
He Fu stood on the city wall, his eyes solemn.
Although Wu Liangha only withstood one firearm attack from the Ming Dynasty, Wu Liangha's strategy for dealing with firearms was already quite mature, which benefited from the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army.
Wu Liangha lived in Liaodong and knew a lot about the war intelligence in North Korea and could quickly grasp the information. The defeat of the Japanese army and the power of Daeming's firearms cannot be concealed.
They summed up their experience in dealing with firearms and learned lessons from the dead Japanese soldiers.
He Fu looked at Wu Liangha's cavalry, three in a group and nine in a triangular arrow formation, charging at a distance of about one and a half feet. In addition, they were equipped with shields, so they were obviously well prepared to deal with firearms.
"Shields, crossbows, eight-oxen crossbows, and fire guns are ready."
He Fu did not use the Divine Machine Cannon and the Crouching Tiger Cannon. He could not fly above the city wall with just a few cavalry. The city gate was so strong that it was not possible for a few horses to break it open. They did not even have siege equipment. Dare to attack the city without them, it's just a test.
really.
When the cavalry of Tianlidu were one hundred and fifty steps away from Daning City, they took out their bows and arrows, fired them, and then retreated.
The crossbow arrows and the eight-oxen crossbow started moving one after another.
However, due to the long distance and the opponent's mobility and dispersion, after completing a round of attacks, it did not cause considerable damage. However, some sergeants on the city wall did not protect themselves properly and injured more than ten people.
Tianlidu looked at the Ming army on the city wall from a distance, and said to his deputy Siri Guleng: "Now it seems that using a dispersed formation to deal with the Ming army is a good strategy. Although this method sacrifices breakthrough However, it also weakened the damage caused by the dense arrow array of the Ming army. Over the years, the Ming army's armaments have been really powerful. In time, the grassland will be controlled by it!"
Siri Guleng nodded heavily: "Yes, ten years ago, the total number of divine machine cannons in Daning City was only twelve, and there were only four on one city wall. But now..."
Tianlidu looked towards Daning City. At the crenellations of the city wall, one could see the cannon barrels sticking out one by one. At a rough look, there were at least twenty cannons. This was just a city wall!
Si Riguleng felt very heavy in his heart.
Crossbow arrows, eight-oxen crossbows, these things are expensive to make. During the Hongwu period, the Ming army's large army could go on expeditions or defend the city. There are no crossbows or crossbows in the city, only ordinary bows and arrows, and a few firearms!
In just a few years, the situation has completely changed!
While the Ming army was equipped with firearms, it was also equipped with a large number of crossbows and eight-oxen crossbows, which all required a lot of money. When did the Ming Dynasty become so rich and maintain a large army, but still have money to replace their weapons?
Siriguleng didn't know that the Ming Dynasty invested no less than 6 million yuan in upgrading armaments every year, and this expenditure was enough for Zhu Di to take an army of 300,000 people to Xijiang Province to beat up a few disobedient people before returning. .
Zhu Yunwen seems to have a phobia of insufficient firepower. Regardless of whether it is a Crouching Tiger Cannon or a Divine Machine Cannon, regardless of whether it is a crossbow or a Eight Ox Crossbow, there is always one characteristic he pursues called "intensive".
The gunpowder bullets should be densely packed, and the crossbow arrows should be densely packed.
The Secret of Fire Guns
The bows and arrows must also be concentrated.
Affected by this kind of thinking, the Ming Dynasty updated its weapons and equipment very quickly, especially the border front lines and the Beijing army, which were among the first batch of weapons to be replaced. For example, in Yunnan, two years ago, the firearm in Mu Sheng's hand was still Zhang When assisting in the attack on Annan, he took the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Although Mu Sheng opened his mouth several times to ask for firearms from Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen did give them to him, but the quantity was far lower than that of the important border town.
This situation was not alleviated until two years ago, when the important border towns completed the replacement of weapons. Batteries of firearms began to enter the inland guard posts. Except for Yunnan, Jiaozhi and other places, most inland guard posts had a very limited number of gunpowder ammunition. Not equipped with granular gunpowder.
If Tianlidu and Srigu were allowed to
Leng knew that Daning City was also equipped with a large number of Crouching Tiger Cannons and stored a large amount of gunpowder shells. He wondered if they would regret coming here.
Tianli is a cunning person. He sends cavalry back and forth to test and attack, never getting too close to the city. He will shoot arrows after approaching the city for 150 steps, and then retreat away.
[In view of the general environment,
He Fu looked at it several times and became a little angry. He took a telescope and saw Tianlidu commanding the army two miles away. He turned his head and ordered: "On the hill to the north, under the black flag, there is a general in armor, a divine machine gun, twenty rounds." !」
The sergeant took the order, and the lookouts found their positions one after another.
The divine machine gun began to adjust its height. A sergeant on the side squinted his eyes, raised his hand, and stretched his thumb to find the distance and determine the amount of gunpowder.
After getting ready, He Fu gave an order, and the divine machine gun roared suddenly!
Tianli in the distance heard the thunderous sound and saw the gunpowder bombs flying from the sky. They immediately rushed their horses and ran away. Siri Guleng was not willing to do anything. Falling behind, the cavalry behind them did not know the situation. Seeing that the general was running, they also urged their horses to follow. Some cavalry had no time to mobilize and were greeted by gunpowder bombs.
When explosions were heard and blood mist spread, Tianli shuddered.
Damn, this firearm hits too far!
"Prepare siege equipment!"
Tianlidu ordered sharply.
Siriguleng had no objection. If he wanted to contain He Fu and create a better opportunity for Battle, he had no choice but to fight! Once He Fu is distracted and reaches the West City Gate, all plans will not be realized!
For the sake of the overall situation, we have to sacrifice and we have to be tragic!
The cavalry spread out.
There are not only grasses on the grassland, but also trees, which can be cut down to serve as siege trees. Although these trees are not strong enough to be hugged by one person, they are enough to break open the city gate if carried by dozens of people!
He Fu looked at Tianlidu in the distance, preparing siege equipment, and smiled: "How long has it been, and we are still attacking the city in this old-fashioned way? This is destined to be a failure. Come on, move the grenades Come up."
The damage done by hand grenades to siege armies has been proven in Turtle City. Naturally, He Fu would not let go of such an effortless, fast-killing, torturing firearm!
Just when He Fuxiao was confident, Daning's crisis came quietly.
