I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 165

Gao Bang is not easy to fight, this is the consensus of the soldiers.

The city is high and the moats are deep, and the security is heavily guarded.The guards patrol day and night without stopping, and there are almost no blind spots for sneak attacks.

Even Zhao Xi was worried when he saw it. The guard battalion could pretend to sneak in. The problem is that even if you sneak in, open the city gate, and enter the city, it will be a hard battle... Zhao Xi didn't think about fighting hard, going deep behind the enemy's rear, he just thought about it. Play guerrilla and take advantage.

"Your Highness, when you join the army, you should have been prepared to be shrouded in horse leather. If a sneak attack on Gao Bang is the key to this trip, there is no kindness for a woman."

Di Qing could see the hesitation of His Highness the Crown Prince.It is their honor to have such an emperor who cherishes the lives of soldiers, but if they cherish the lives of soldiers too much, they will miss the opportunity of battle.

Just like now, the army is approaching the city, and it is always necessary to decide whether to attack or not.

"Di Shuai, it's not that Xi doesn't know, but it's impossible. Wang Shi went deep into Annan's territory this time, and I didn't just think about harm. I wanted to arrange Annan in Guangnan's army to eat, and there is no hard battle yet. when."

Zhao Xi's words startled Di Qing.Eat Annan's more than 3 elite?His Royal Highness really dares to think!
The Western Army is good at fighting, but Annan's soldiers are not bad.

The Western Army is fighting in different places, while Annan is at home.Whether it is familiarity with the terrain or adaptation to the climate, the Western Army does not have an advantage.

What's more, when going deep into the enemy's rear this time, the whole army did not carry any Zizhong.

However, it is not impossible if it can be done like the last ambush every time.The question is, how do you do that every time?
Of course Di Qing knew that what His Highness the Crown Prince said about eating did not mean annihilating, but defeating, breaking up, breaking up, and disrupting.

Even the entire northern part of Annan is like Guangnan in Guochao...

It's really not a disadvantage!

Apart from other things, Gaobang is now a problem. Although it is unexpected, the defenders in the city will never leave the city.

"Siege the city at midnight tonight, put two tiger crouching cannons, place them at the east gate, and shell the city gate. The rest are scattered around Gaobang City with the capital as a unit, and hide under the city wall. .”

"After the general offensive started, everyone threw no less than one base gunpowder bomb into the city, then quickly withdrew from the city wall and assembled at the place where they gathered today."

Still didn't plan to attack the city, or Zhao Xi never thought about occupying that city at all, the purpose was to play like this and toss Annan's army.

"Your Highness, do you want to send reinforcements in the direction of Guangyuan?"

"There will be no reinforcements from the direction of Guangyuan. Tens of thousands of reinforcements will be sent to Lang Song, and the confrontation with the Guangyuan Wangshi has already failed. How dare you send reinforcements?"

"If you want to defeat your army, you must first disturb your mind. Once there is a battle in Gaobang, regardless of whether it is broken or not, Guangyuan's army is bound to collapse."

"This time, we need to fight the breakouts, and we will never let Gao Bang go to Guangyuan to ask for help. We must besiege Gao Bang for three days."

Gaobang is only [-] miles away from Annan's camp, and Zhao Xi doesn't believe that Annan will ignore Liangdao.

What he needs is to let the guards of the grain road pass the information of Gaobang's war to Guangyuan Yingpan, but not let Guangyuan Yingpan know the real situation of Gaobang.

The more unknown, the more worried the soldiers are, especially if there is no call for help within three days.

In this era, there are very few people who attack the city at night, and there are those who attack the camp. After all, it is a camp, which is incomparable with a strong city wall.

But Zhao Xi began to attack the city at midnight.There is nothing to rely on, just because he has gunpowder.

Since the end of the decisive battle at Guirenpu, Zhao Xi and Su Song have been rushing to produce. Even when Zhao Xi led the guard battalion to attack Guangyuan from a long distance, Su Song did not stop producing.

Su Song doesn't understand military affairs, but he knows the use of this thing in large-scale battles, and he has never carried it for a moment.

Therefore, Zhao Xi now has enough ammunition.

Such a siege is very boring, it can't even be called a siege, it's more like making trouble.

The reason why Zhao Xi asked the soldiers to throw gunpowder bombs around the city wall was to try his luck, to see if someone could accidentally blow up the grain storage...

Obviously overthinking, the real effect of throwing out the whole round of gunpowder shells is just to open a gap for the guards on the entire city wall.

It's a pity, it should be said that all the soldiers feel pity.If His Highness can arrange a real siege after a base gunpowder bomb is over, at this moment, I'm afraid they should be fighting in the city.

Zhao Xi does not regret this opportunity, Gao Bang will take it sooner or later, but not now.

"Your Highness, the east gate has been broken..."

The guard battalion is familiar with the tiger squatting cannon. How many times has it been tested? As far as the Gaobang City Gate is concerned, such a big target can still be hit.

Unfortunately, not flower bombs.

Zhao Xi looked at the city gate that was broken by three or five iron eggs... If it was an explosive bomb, only one would be enough, unlike now, if it is hit four or five times, the city gate can still be seen to be city ​​gate.

"Ambush on all sides, intercept and kill all the breakouts, and don't let Gao Bang escape!"

Look at the city gate again, alas... the flower bomb can't be made out, Su Song is already a top scientist in this era, but he still can't make it out.

"Your Highness, we want to try to stuff gunpowder bullets with stone bullets..."

Stone bombs, that is, stones the size of iron eggs... stuffed with gunpowder?

This is very challenging, especially cooperation.

The gunpowder bomb is ignited, then loaded into the tiger squat gun, and then the tiger squat gun is fired... Make sure it doesn't explode in the barrel...

Success or failure, Zhao Xi still let them try.He is very happy to see the people in the guard camp have such divergent thinking, even if they end up destroying a tiger crouching cannon.

No one is willing to destroy a tiger and crouch a cannon, dare to mention it to Zhao Xi like this, this is the gunner's careful thought.

It seems that the tiger squatting cannon can fire shotguns... It's just that this is a siege, not a large-scale indiscriminate attack. Although Zhao Xi thought of it, there is no need for it, so he didn't mention it.

This thing has been memorized all the way, and it is true that it has not been used seriously.

Obviously, Zhao Xi underestimated the ability of the soldiers.

Just following the dilapidated city gate, the soldiers really shot into the stone bombs in the city.

"Circle the city, launch at high elevation angles intermittently toward the city."

Anyway, for three days, let them play for three days.

With such repeated trials, there is always a winning bid.From time to time, there will be fires in the city, but unfortunately, Zhao Xi and the others don't know if they hit the grain or grass.

There have been attempts to break through the siege in the city. Yes, there is a gap in the number of troops, and they have been prepared. Several times they broke through, but they were all intercepted and killed.

When the three days expired and night fell again, Zhao Xi gave the order to evacuate.

There are still some desires that are still unsatisfied, which is quite fun, especially this kind of game of surrounding other people's cities and hunting for help. It is really not a burden to bully the few with more.

It's just that Zhao Xi's order made people puzzled again, it turned out to be going back the same way...it was to return to Langsong again.

Is it possible that going deep into Annan this time is over?It shouldn't be.

This is not the Northwest, there is a problem of food supply.In this mountain, prey can be found everywhere, not to mention the compressed biscuits of the guard camp, there is no possibility of running out of food and grass.

But why did His Highness return?
