Qiming 1158

Chapter 399

In the face of the powerful firearms of the Restoration Army, Wanyan Ben was worried and felt that something was wrong.

But Wanyanliang didn't care at all, forcing the army to move forward with the firearms of the Restoration Army.

The arrows were raining down from the front, the firearms were excellent and fierce, and the supervising team at the back was staring at them. The front-line troops of the Golden Army were in a dilemma.

Seeing that the firearm was effective, Jiang Liangping ordered the crossbow to shoot at the Jin army's siege equipment, trying to destroy the Jin army's large siege equipment with gunpowder explosions. The more, the greater the lethality.

The roar of the battlefield was endless.

The bed crossbowmen of the Restoration Army aimed at the large-scale siege equipment of the Jin Army, such as the Linchong Lu bus, the building cart, the nest cart, etc., especially the rather terrifying Linchong Lu bus.

This kind of large chariot chases the city wall directly. There are generally five layers up and down. The upper layer can be level with the city wall. It can accommodate hundreds of soldiers, [-] soldiers on each layer.

The top floor has its own super-long folding wooden bridge. At the beginning of the war, when the cart is close to the city wall and within a certain range, the wooden bridge that comes with the car can be put down, and it can be directly placed 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 soldiers guarding the city. The impact on the city wall is very threatening.

However, this kind of large-scale chariot is expensive and exquisite in craftsmanship. It is an absolute weapon of war. Most countries cannot afford it, cannot build it, and cannot afford the loss of use.

Jin Guo was rich and powerful, so Wanyanliang looked at the Linchong chariot and ordered the craftsmen to rush to build several large Linchong chariots, just to capture the fortified city where the Restoration Army was stationed.

Generally, small cities do not need the beautiful play of this kind of war weapon.

The siege side has limited means of destroying such large chariots.

Simply burning with fire is useless.

Attacking with a heavy crossbow is not very useful. The impact of the heavy crossbow cannot break the protective cover made of cowhide and wood.

Therefore, when some defending troops encounter this kind of war weapon, they will always try to keep him from getting close to the city wall, and even some troops will open the city gate, set a group of cattle on fire with their tails, and drive them to rush into this type of large-scale war. car, disrupting the battlefield.

The Restoration Army was different. The heavy crossbow shot past the gunpowder cartridge and nailed it to the outer protective cover. It was indeed impossible to break the defense, but there was still a second stage attack.

The gunpowder cartridge burst with a bang. Although the power is not comparable to the later yellow gunpowder and smokeless gunpowder, the quality of the gunpowder has also been improved to a certain extent, so it can give these large siege weapons some hard damage.

A rushing vehicle was hit by three rockets, with three loud rumblings, and the shards of wood wrapped in the flesh and blood of the soldiers inside flew out.

The soldier below covered his ears and looked up with a terrified look, and immediately smeared a stench of flesh on his face.

The soldiers above were basically out of combat.

About an hour into the battle, the Jin Army suffered serious losses, and the number of losses cannot be considered small. The front-line commander could not bear it, and decided to pass the news to the rear commander-in-chief.

They asked the emperor if he could suspend the attack, choose another opportunity, or think of a new way to deal with the situation.

The Liberation Army has excellent weapons and sounds like thunder, which is a huge blow to the morale of the Jin army, and the casualties are also huge. If the loss cannot be stopped in time, once the casualties are too large, it will affect the future battle situation.

Wanyan Benjian actually felt that he could stop at this time and re-study the war strategy. Don't be in such a hurry to attack the city wall. In such a big city, Sun Wu dare not say that he can take it down in one breath. Wanyan Liang Why is it necessary?

But when Wanyan Benjian conveyed the frontline commander's request to Wanyanliang, Wanyanliang firmly refused.

"Just a mere firearm, why bother? Pass my order and hold on for another hour until noon, otherwise you are not allowed to retreat! You must fill the moat as soon as possible, otherwise so many people will die in vain!"

Wanyan Benjian was really unwilling to continue to watch the army pay meaningless deaths, so he pleaded, "Your Majesty, this is the first time the army has faced thieves' weapons, and I have no experience and I don't know how to deal with it. How about withdrawing troops, summoning front-line officers to discuss countermeasures, and discussing an effective strategy before dealing with the bandit army?"

"You also think our army will lose?"

Wanyan Liang stared at Wanyan Benjian, who was too frightened to say anything.

So the battle continued, and many small units of the Jin Army fell into despair, so they tried to retreat.

And the supervising team is even more ferocious. Hundreds of golden soldiers did not die in the hands of the Restoration Army, but died in the hands of the supervising team.

Perhaps it was because he saw the chaos on the front line, or because he felt that the casualties were indeed too great. After half an hour, Wanyanliang took the initiative to stop the attack with a pale face, ordered the army to retreat, and ordered the Huotou Army to cook rice and eat first. Say it again.

So the frontline officers and soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they could have a safe meal.

The Jin army began to retreat slowly and orderly.

Looking at the Jin army retreating like a tide, the soldiers of the Restoration Army on the city head cheered happily, celebrating the first glorious victory that everyone achieved together.

Jiang Liangping also breathed a sigh of relief, released his clenched hand, and ordered the guards around him to immediately arrange to deliver food and drinking water to the guards on the city wall.

Taking advantage of the gap between the wars, they can eat quickly, seize the time to rest, replenish their physical strength, and at the same time increase the monitoring power of the watchtower to prevent the Jin army from making a comeback at any time.

When the Jin army retreated, the order was not disordered, and the army maintained a minimum military appearance. It can be seen that this was not a retreat, but a tactical retreat. On paper, the Jin army still had a huge advantage over Hejian City and could not slack off.

The fighting spirit of the Restoration Army is still high.

On the other hand, the Jin army was more or less frightened.

In order to maintain physical strength and morale, the soldiers participating in the battle will also give an extra meal in addition to the normal two meals.

So at the end of the day, the soldiers who had just come off the battlefield sat on the ground in groups, recalling the terrifying battlefield just now, and waiting eagerly for dinner.

At the same time, Wanyan Liang summoned the generals and think tanks to his tent, and started a pre-dinner meeting around a roasted golden roasted sheep with fragrant aromas.

"Let's talk about it, the thieves have excellent firearms, and the losses and deterrence caused to our army are so great. It's still so much worse to fill the moat. How can this battle go on?"

Wanyan Liang held the meat-cutting knife in his hand and played with it slowly.

Judging from the posture, it seems that the person who speaks well and listens well will cut a piece of mutton as a reward.

The generals and think tanks were stunned in their hearts, bowed their heads, and did not intend to be the first to speak.

Wanyan Liang cut a piece of roasted and browned mutton for himself, blew it, and put it in his mouth, chewing it while watching Wanyan Benjian.

"Don't say anything? The old general, as the main general, let's start."

Wanyan Ben swallowed her saliva and considered herself unlucky.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the thieves' weapons are well-equipped, the army is well-trained, and the morale is not low. This is a great deal of damage to our army, and our army's top priority is to fill the moat, so that the siege equipment can get close to the city wall. .

Everything else can be postponed, so the old minister thought that he could take advantage of the poor visibility at night to dispatch soldiers to fill the river in large numbers. At night, even if the thieves in the city wanted to attack, it would not be so easy, right? "

When the generals heard it, they all felt that Wanyan Benjian's approach was a good one, and it was an old-fashioned and solemn statement.

In this way, the firearm attack of the Restoration Army can be avoided to a considerable extent, and the moat can be filled as soon as possible, so that the siege equipment can pass quickly.

It also minimizes military casualties.

Wanyanliang didn't think this method was bad, but just felt that this method made him angry.

The feeling of being suppressed and beaten by the Restoration Army made the fire in his heart grow stronger and stronger.
