Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1855 The Crushing World War VII

Huangfu Jianshou's palms were slightly sweaty, and he was also a little nervous.

He fought very well in the first battle when artillery was born, but as artillery becomes more and more important, there will be more and more defensive methods.

He must have tactical arrangements.

"Nervous!"

Standing by the side, Xu Shu looked at Huangfu Jianshou's face and asked in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Huangfu Jianshou nodded: "Mr. Xu, this is the first time artillery tactics have appeared. I dare not say whether it will work or not. Failure is a trivial matter, but if it delays His Majesty's great plan to unify the world, you and I will feel guilty even if we die." !"

"Relax!" Xu Shu was very calm: "There is a first time for everything, and our tactics must be accumulated slowly in order to be the best. Now, what we have to do is to have enough confidence, otherwise The soldiers below are even more disturbed!"

"you're right!"

When Huangfu Jianshou heard the words, his heart moved, and he quickly adjusted his state.

As a general, the most basic point is that no matter what time it is, you must show absolute calm and stability in front of the soldiers.

As long as he has the slightest nervousness and panic, it will cause the soldiers to shake.

"Is the muzzle adjusted?"

Xu Shu asked.

"It has been adjusted!"

"Then boom!" Xu Shu looked at the Huguan city wall in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty's military order, within half an hour, this city wall must be turned into ruins!"

"it is good!"

Huangfu Jianshou took a step forward.

The flag in his hand is the order flag, and the Artillery Army has its own set of command orders, because the sound of the artillery is too loud and the sound transmission is not suitable, so most of them use the order flag to command.

His command flags are divided into left and right, and the representatives of the left and right military orders are different. The left hand represents each battalion, and the right hand represents attack and suspension.

Zuo Lingqi is the third battalion.

The right order is upward, seven times in a row, which is equal to seven rings.

The third battalion attacked and fired seven shots in a row.

Boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Dozens of artillery pieces from the third battalion moved quickly, and the shells fell on the city wall like flaming meteors one by one.

"retreat!"

"cover!"

"Get into the trenches immediately!"

Faced with this tragic bombardment, Wei Jun also moved quickly.

"Insufficient hits, order the third battalion, adjust the muzzle, and continue to attack!"

Huangfu Jianshou entered the role. He used his binoculars to quickly stare at the place being bombarded. One-third of the Ming army's shells fell into the front and back, obviously the hit rate was insufficient.

"Yes!"

The command flag continued to wave, passing the military order.

"Adjust the muzzle!"

The lieutenant of the third battalion said coldly.

"attack!"

Hundreds of shells fell, and this scene was much more spectacular than the scene of the Wancheng battle. Amidst the continuous roar, smoke and dust billowed.

"Press the left city wall!"

Xu Shu was also staring at the results of the bombing. He was one of the creators of the artillery offensive tactics, so he had to adjust his tactics in time.

"But the connection is not enough!"

Xu Shu said: "Order the two battalions on the left wing to also move. Ten rounds of artillery shells will be fired in succession. The entire city wall must be covered by the shells' attack range!"

"Yes!"

Huangfu Jianshou immediately ordered the two battalions on the left wing to also attack.

Boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! !

The sound of cannonballs exploded one after another, as if thunder was rolling in the sky. The scene of the end of the world made this pass that had stood here for many years covered in billowing smoke and dust.

"very scary!"

"The earth is shaking!"

"Is the sky about to collapse?"

"Can we stop it?"

"Such a powerful weapon, we are only flesh and blood, how can we stop it!"

The soldiers of the Wei army were shocked by this terrible scene.

"Order Cao Ang and Sima Yi to retreat to the second trench immediately!"

Cao Cao was in the most secret and strongest defensive stone house at the head of the city, watching the walls on the left and right collapsed continuously under the shells.

He knew that the city wall would definitely fail.

The artillery power of the Ming army exceeded their expectations. It should be said that it exceeded the power they felt on the Wancheng battlefield.

Changes are worse than plans.

At this time, he could not let his soldiers sacrifice in vain, even if the second deep trench was exposed, he would not hesitate.

As the saying goes, weapons are for people, and people are often more important than weapons. They knew that the Ming army had artillery, but they were not unable to deal with it.

The Wei army has two elite soldiers and horses, one is the Mojin battalion and the other is the Faqiu army.

With the efforts of Mojinying and Faqiu Army, there are deep moats under and under the city walls. The existence of deep moats is to prevent the attack of artillery.

The artillery cannot be blocked on the ground, but it can be done under the ground. The deep trenches are dug very deep, mainly to prevent artillery bombardment.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, facing the thickness of the earth, there is every way to deal with it.

This was originally a fortification to defend against bombardment in later generations, but it has been revealed now. This is the potential of human beings. When there is an urgency, a solution can always be thought of.

"My lord, all the ministries have withdrawn from the city wall and entered the second deep trench, but the Huguan city wall will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the shells. In less than half an hour, this place will be blasted into ruins! "

Jia Xu bowed his hands and saluted, and then reported.

His complexion was not good-looking. Even though he had clearly overestimated the Ming army's artillery attack, he still felt a little underestimated.

too strong.

Strong enough to be beyond his comprehension.

How could there be such a powerful weapon.

In the future, when decades of hard work and hard work in martial arts can't hold back a shot, will there still be people who will practice martial arts in summer and winter in three autumns?

"How about the casualties?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and asked.

"Even though we took precautions and built fortifications, because we didn't expect the power of the Ming army's shells to fall, there were still a lot of casualties, at least more than [-] people were killed!"

Jia Xu said.

"hateful!"

Cao Cao stared.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two thousand sons were lost here. Such terrible casualties made his heart feel as if bleeding, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"My lord, the cannons of the Ming army are only half used. We still have to be careful, withdraw from the top of the city temporarily, and retreat into the city!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "As long as we keep our strength, we can counterattack!"

"withdraw!"

Cao Cao didn't dare to stay on the city gate anymore, even if the stone house was stronger, he wouldn't dare, because it would be too scary to be covered by such shells.

When they retreated into the second deep trench in the city, he asked.

"How about cavalry?"

During the bombardment, the war horses were easily affected, so they had made preparations before and took some measures in this regard.

But it's hard to say whether it can be stopped.

Jia Xu said: "A school yard has been built on the left side of the hill, protected by the mountain, which can block a lot of bombardment, and all the horses have plugged their ears and blindfolded, so it's not a big problem!"

It's a dumb solution, but it works.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is his biggest advantage.

As long as there is the slightest chance, the tiger and leopard cavalry will launch, and after a close attack, those heavy artillery will definitely not be able to escape, and then they will still have a chance to counterattack.

"Send someone to watch again!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Success or failure depends on one move, nothing can go wrong!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded.

........................

"The whole army is attacking, firing ten cannons in a row, aiming at the city wall, we must blow them up!" Huangfu Jianshou still wanted to follow the tactical steps at the beginning, overlapping the damage step by step, to bring out the full power of the shells, But as the figure disappeared on the city wall, he knew that Wei Jun had withdrawn from the city wall, and he had to take this opportunity to get rid of the city wall.

"Army attack!"

"Ten shots in a row!"

Hundreds of cannons of the Ming army exploded at the same time. In that scene, it seemed that the only sound left in the world was the sound of bombardment.

Amidst the deafening bombardment, the city wall of Huguan began to turn into ruins little by little. It was originally a towering city gate, but now it has become a mess of ruins.

"If you stay on the city wall, you will definitely die!"

"Fortunately, I hid in the deep trench!"

"Ming army is too scary!"

"What can we use to fight against the Ming army!",

"If the Ming army's shells are endless, wouldn't we be unable to hide from the Ming army's attack even if we hide in the ends of the earth!"

"What should I do!"

Hiding in the deep trenches, the soldiers of the Wei army who could feel the changes in the city walls, at this moment, no matter how confident they were in Cao Cao before, they were all uneasy at this moment.

The horror of being bombarded made them see the doomsday.

Some of them participated in the battle of Wancheng and experienced this kind of attack, but they were still a little unsteady, as if their mentality would collapse at some point.

Some soldiers who had never experienced the battle of Wancheng or attacked Huguan were even more trembling, wanting to tire themselves underground.

"Bah!"

Cao Ang spat out two mouthfuls of dirt, his eyes were a little blood red, and looking at the front wall, he muttered to himself: "Is this the power of the artillery of the Ming army? If you attack a city, wouldn't the whole city be in ruins, it's terrible! "

He has never encountered such a terrifying weapon. Even if he has heard of it, seeing it with his own eyes and feeling it is completely different.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced himself to calm down, but his thighs trembled uncontrollably.

"Fortunately, there are trenches!",

Sima Yi was also timid. This scene was the scariest scene he had ever seen. People of flesh and blood covered by these shells would surely die.

Even a general as strong as Lu Bu, if he fell under the cover of this kind of shells, he would not be able to survive.

For the first time, he felt that people are so fragile.

This kind of power is subverting his worldview.

..............................

outside the city.

Mu Jing also stood on the viewing platform, using the high-power binoculars in his hand, to clearly watch the scene of the shells falling on the Huguan city wall.

"Something's wrong!"

Mu Jing said suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Chao and Chen Dao were standing beside them, and they were also looking ahead. The power of the shells shocked them, especially under the bombardment of hundreds of cannons. soul.

You know, as the kings on the battlefield of cold weapons, they believe in their own martial arts even more, but when they saw this scene, they couldn't help wondering whether the martial arts they had practiced for many years were still useful.

"They withdrew!"

Mujing said.

Only the walls, no people.

"Are you scared?"

"No!" Mu Jing shook his head and said to Ma Chao: "Cao Mengde is very clear that he cannot retreat. He is not on the city wall now, but he must be in Huguan..."

"It should be that they have found a way to resist the artillery attack!"

Mu Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "So even if we stop attacking, they will go to the city immediately!"

"Such an attack, is there a way to deal with it?"

Chen Dao gasped.

If it were him, he would have absolutely no choice but to walk far away or die. ,

"People are better than cold weapons!" Mu Jing was not surprised, he said with a sneer: "We can't underestimate the wisdom of the soldiers and advisers of the Ming army!"

"Then what do we do?"

Ma Chao asked: "Do you still need to continue to attack?"

"We must continue to attack!"

Mu Jing said: "They can hide, but they can't retreat. After breaking through this city wall, we can attack smoothly. At this time, we need to go all out!"

He never expected to defeat Cao Cao with only the artillery army. Cao Cao's troops were several times his.

Moreover, there are a lot of bunkers in the city wall, and the artillery attack is affected. Even if they can kill one of them, it is difficult to cover them.

In the end, it still depends on the decisive battle between the two sides.

However, the artillery attack saves the consumption of the Ming army's siege. You must know that attacking a city, especially Huguan, which is extremely strong, requires at least three times the combat power to achieve the goal, and because the siege It will appear that the casualties are very large, and it will also affect the morale of the army.

Now under the bombardment of artillery, the city wall seems to be walking on flat ground to the Ming army, without any obstacles. ,

..............................

In less than an hour, the city wall of Huguan was turned into ruins, and the Ming army stopped the bombardment. Sand and stones flew around the city wall, and smoke and dust billowed.

"Puff puff!!!!!"

Countless soldiers of the Wei army walked out of the trenches, spitting out the dirt in their mouths.

Although their trenches were dug well, they were inexperienced after all, and they didn't have much advantage in dealing with this kind of artillery. Some trenches were bombed and collapsed, and many people were buried.

Some soldiers crawled out after eating a mouthful of dirt.

Basically, many people were covered by dust, but when they saw this scene, they shuddered a little. It was very lucky to escape this catastrophe.

"Pass my military order, order Cao Chun, the cavalry is ready!"

Cao Cao also walked out of the deep trench of the city wall, looked ahead, and said: "As soon as the dust clears, attack immediately, regardless of everything, first defeat the enemy's artillery positions!"

Under the bombardment, the smoke and dust billowed. Now that the Ming army stopped the bombardment, it must be resting. This time is a good opportunity for him to dispatch troops.

Cao Cao is also a person who is very good at seizing the opportunity of battle. At this time, neither side can figure it out. As long as they can get close and kill at close quarters, they will have a chance to break through the enemy's defense.

"Yes!"

The soldiers went to deliver orders.

However, Cao Cao's palms were sweating, and he became a little nervous. After all, in the current situation, it wasn't that he had the upper hand or that he had the upper hand, but that he was at a disadvantage because the enemy had artillery.

This is a headwind.

Can it be reversed.

He has no confidence.

And what he was facing was Mu Jing, the Son of Heaven who was known as the most powerful in the world and had already been called the emperor, who could fight miraculously every time.

"All the rest of the soldiers rest immediately!"

Cao Cao wanted to fight with his back, but this was unsuccessful, so he decided to fight for Ren. He ordered: "I don't believe that the artillery of the Ming army can be endless. As long as their artillery positions are destroyed by our cavalry, we will attack with the whole army and crush them! "

"Yes!"

The morale of the generals was not high, but the military order was accepted, and they began to rest and reorganize their soldiers, and began to prepare for the attack.
