Chapter 292 Attack on the East

Last night, the reconnaissance team sent by Luo Guanzhong went deep into the enemy's position and confirmed the large troops of the tars. As expected, they were transferred to the eastern position. Moreover, the catapult was also assembled again at night. I'm afraid that the attack will begin at dawn.

Correspondingly, Zhang Yang also moved to the east tower to supervise the battle in person. Up to now, Zhang Yang has had to be cautious.

Think about it, the tars put all their strength into the country to attack. If they are easily defeated by themselves, it can only show that the tartars intend to release water. Although there are not many tartars who can fight, after all, the other party is a Taishi-level figure. With the Taishi as the commander-in-chief, the soldiers can't even be lazy.

A round of red said, slowly rising from the east, and a new day finally came.

Zhang Yang looked at the outline of the earth in the distance and the camp of the tars. Today, it's time for them to attack with all their strength, right?

There was a eldest brother who personally supervised the battle, and Lv Zhen's men fought in the spirit of twelve points. Before dawn, they entered the trench and were ready to fight at any time.

The sun gradually rose and shone on the open space in front of the trench.

What's wrong with the tartars? No alarm clock? Have you started to sleep in? Zhang Yang looked at the quiet camp of the tars in the distance and was a little puzzled.

"Brother, the tars have begun to attack in the north and south, and the momentum is quite strong." A soldier came to reciprocate.

The sound of fire on both sides has come. Needless to say, Zhang Yang also knows that the tars are dry on both sides.

"Have they put them into the catapult?" Zhang Yang asked.

"That's not the way, but the tars organized at least tens of thousands of people this time to attack together, and the offensive was very large." The soldier said.

"Send the order to Shi Yi and Tang He, so that with the purpose of destroying the living power of the Tatars, the position can be gradually retreated, and finally back to guard the city wall, mainly to destroy the Tatars." Zhang Yang said.

The intention of the tars is already obvious. The killer on both sides is to send the reserve team to defend both sides, so that the tars can suffer the least resistance in the attack on the east, but this move has not working.

As long as you look at where there is a catapult, it is the direction of the main attack. If the Tatars want to take down Gaoyou Mansion, the catapult is indispensable. Moreover, if the number is small, it is not enough. Although the north and south sides look huge, they are not the main direction of attack.

As long as there is no catapult, it is impossible for them to break through from the wall. They are just building momentum. They just need to wait for the Tatars to attack here. If the Tatars don't come out, it will be amazing. As long as I am disabled the tar this time, the future war will be smooth.

Zhang Yang was at the head of the city, silently staring at the distance: Tuo Tuo, your strategy is too clumsy. Does this kind of trick also want to Blurap me?

After an hour, nearly 10,000 tars on both sides had fallen on the road of charge, and the tars in the east still did not respond.

If Zhang Yang can enter the barracks of the tars, he will see a strange phenomenon: the tars are sleeping at this moment!

Yes, it's just sleeping. With a high-intensity march for more than a month in a row, coupled with two days of war, the Tatars are really tired, and now they sleep, they can maintain a good physical strength. The plan is to prepare at three o'clock and launch an attack at three o'clock in the afternoon.

At that time, just after noon, the defenders who had been waiting all morning must have relaxed their vigilance. At that time, it was time to eat, and this was the most vulnerable time for the army.

When your army is in the best state, the army with the worst offensive state is taking into account many factors before the war, such as heaven and time, place, people, and even a little chance of winning for yourself.

Zhang Yang probably guessed the intention of getting rid of it. Where are you lying and sleeping? I'm waiting for you here. When I'm hungry and ready to have dinner, you come to toss. How can there be such a beautiful thing!

"God of War cannon, aim at the barracks of the tars, fire on me, shoot three times!" Zhang Yang said.

Originally, Zhang Yang didn't want to expose that he had such a long-range weapon, but it seemed that if he didn't say anything, the tar might not come out when. There were so many people waiting for him and wanted to stand up? No way!

The soldiers have been itching for a long time, especially Lv Zhen's second battalion. In the past few days, they have not been fishing for a battle. It's easy to know that the tars want to attack from here. Unexpectedly, the two sides are fighting so lively, but there is still no response here.

Hearing that Zhang Yang was about to fire, the gunner immediately shook the bracket of the God of War cannon up a few times, and the range was set at the Tutar barracks eight miles away.

Solid iron bullets were stuffed into the gun of the God of War cannon. Although this kind of shell can only do great damage to the tars in the case of direct hit, it has more intimidating effects on the tars. If the tars knew that he could not even sleep soundly, what an interesting scene it would be.

Moreover, if you get rid of the bad luck and are directly bombarded to death, the battle will be a great victory.

The twist has been on, and the gunners turned their heads back and covered their ears with their hands.

In fact, everyone is not afraid of this kind of gun sound. They have long been used to listening to it. However, the huge sound has a harmful effect on hearing. Before the earmuffs developed by the base were not equipped, the gunners covered their ears with their hands to reduce this damage.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The first round of shells jumped out of the muzzle and rushed straight to the opponent's camp.

Hearing that the cannon began to be fired on the opposite wall, he frowned. Although the soldiers were still resting, he was studying tactics and did not sleep.

Is the other party firing? I didn't send troops to fight. My barracks were quite far away, and the other party's shells could not fly over.

"Deng!" Suddenly, I felt a vibration on the ground, and I heard a guard shouting anxiously outside: "Master, the other party's shells are coming. Be careful!"

Did the other party's shells hit? I'm going to faint. How is that possible? The fireball used in the return gun can also be fired to a distance of a thousand steps, which is eight miles. How is this possible?

He walked out of the tent. Outside, the guards had surrounded the whole tent and looked at the sky warily.

The second wave of shells flew over and saw that the shells were arcing in the air. Really, they flew this way.

However, like the return gun, although this kind of shell looks very powerful, as long as it is not directly hit the person, it will not be dangerous.

However, this is obviously a ** naked threat and ** naked contempt. With these shells flying, I'm afraid the soldiers can't sleep peacefully. The movement of the shells hitting the ground alone is scary enough.

"Order, all troops should gather immediately, and after half an hour, prepare for the general attack." Take it off and say it.

Zhang Shicheng, this is what you forced me. I'll see how you defeated me without the help of the navy. I have invested my blood in the north and south. I don't believe how many of you can fight with me on such a long front in the east! I thought of it.

He has capital. He has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, and the exact information is that Zhang Shicheng only has 20,000 troops at most. As long as he is not afraid of sacrifice, he will definitely win the final victory. No matter how big the casualties are, they are not afraid! After capturing Gaoyou Mansion, continue to slaughter the city!

Slaying the city is a means to motivate soldiers. Soldiers live under the high pressure of battle, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems under great pressure. Slaughtering the city can eliminate the anger accumulated in the killing, so that the soldiers can be freed and move forward more bravely in the next battle.

Finally, it didn't wait until noon and was about to start the attack.

Seeing that the Tutar's barracks became lively, Zhang Yang was very satisfied and wanted to make a bargain? No way! Get up and come here to die!

In the trenches outside, there are more than 2,000 fire fighters of Lv Zhen and two thousand-person teams in the base camp. On the wall, there are the remaining firemen of the base camp, and more than 2,000 people sent by Bian Yuanheng. These soldiers are Zhang Yang's capital. He is very confident that he can make the bodies of the tars everywhere.

Nowadays, the sun has slowly turned to the south, which is very beneficial to the aiming of the fire gunner. If he is the leader of the tar, he will definitely launch an attack in the morning. In this way, the sun shines directly on the garrison, and the fire gunner is very unfavorable for aiming. Zhang Yang secretly congratulated himself that although the master is smart, for the fire gun The weakness of the hand is still unclear.

In addition to the troublesome aiming in the sun, another weakness of the fireman, like the archer, is that his melee ability is relatively weak. Although there is a bayonet, the fireman can't fight with soldiers with a big knife spear in any case, especially the spear. No matter how long the fireman is, it can't match the spear at all. Array. This is also the reason why Zhang Yang did not eliminate cold weapons in his army. In times of crisis, they were used to protect the firearmers from retreating.

If the attack and defense are exchanged, Zhang Yang's choice is that no matter how many casualties the catapults are, they must suppress the gunfire at the head of the city. Then, all the soldiers should immediately rush forward and rush forward desperately. Although the fire can continue to shoot, the fire will overheat after multiple launches, which will affect the accuracy. Use a large number of human lives to fill this hole, rush up and start a hand-to-hand fight, and the advantages of the two sides will be exchanged to completely open the gap and solve the battle.

Looking at his own soldiers in the trenches and at the top of the city, looking at the branches of the sky are ready to go, and the fireworks are also ready to open fire. Zhang Yang is full of confidence.

Shi Nai'an still stayed in the position in the north to be thorough.

After waiting for half an hour, the Taters finally lined up the attack formation.

Gaoyou Mansion is not big, but the city wall in the east is also nearly 15 miles. Outside the city wall, there is an endless plain.

At this moment, the crops outside have been harvested, and the fields have been used as a place to attack.

At the forefront of the team are the armies of the various Khanates, the main force of the attack on the east.

It is selfish to arrange such a layout. In the battle the day before yesterday, the casualties of their own troops were very large, and there were almost no casualties in this army, which made Totuo have some ideas. If this war disabled his own army, but these khanates had no casualties, then the army of nearly 100,000 Khanate troops It has become the most powerful force, going deep into the hinterland of the court. If something happens to them, what power will the court use to suppress it?

Although the capital of the Khanate maintains a close relationship with the imperial court, and although they are also descendants of Genghis Khan, as the imperial master of the current dynasty, Dutuo had to consider the problem from this perspective.

So, the detachment makes them act as a striker, and in the attack, the striker has a considerable chance of death.

However, the detachment may have a rich reward: the first one to enter the other party's trench position will be rewarded with a hundred taels, and the first one to pedal on the head of the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels. All troops who attack the head of the city can enter the Gaoyou Mansion first, and the slaughter of the city begins with them.

These conditions made the troops from the Khanate jealous, especially the last one: slaughtering the city. They clearly know how much oil and water the first batch of troops entering the city will be. Everyone's belongings can be robbed, all men can be killed, and all women can play. Enter first to eat. After entering the meat, you can only drink soup.

Therefore, they were full of confidence and fighting spirit in this battle. They swept away their unwillingness to work hard a few days ago and began to prepare for the siege seriously.

They all came from the bitter cold place in the northwest. They have been coveted these flower worlds in the Central Plains for a long time. Today, there is such an opportunity that they can't be let go.

My parents only gave birth to me once. If I didn't enjoy it, I came to this world in vain.

Following the Khan [***] team is the army of the northern province. They moved here from the northern position to avenge the brothers who died the day before yesterday, and their morale was also very high.

At the end, there were most of the guards. They were ranked in the last position of the attack, which made Yue Kuo Chaer very dissatisfied with this arrangement. What's the great thing about those troops from the Khanate? Although they are tall and tall, they really fight, not as good as their own army at all, but the order of attack has been arranged, and there is nothing he can do.

The return gun and bed crossbow positions are arranged in the Chinese army. With the attack queue, they will slowly advance. When the distance is close to 800 steps, they will first fire fireballs and try to drive the enemy back in the trench.

The army moved forward slowly with great momentum.

"This attack, there will be no reserve team, and the whole army will be mobilized! The soldiers on both sides of the north and the south have fought with blood. It's time to use our blood to pay tribute to our great gods! In the first battle, he defeated the enemy and slaughtered the rebels clean!"

"Woo, whoo-" The horn of the attack blew, like a gambler, desperately deciding to press all the treasures on one.

However, Totue believes that his arrangement is foolproof. Even if the price is higher, it is worth it if he can enter the Gaoyou Mansion.

Besides, the first one is the soldiers and horses borrowed from the Khanate. However, the pension will be a big problem at that time.

When did the Tatars get this kind of person? Zhang Yang stood on the tower, looked at the approaching soldiers and horses in front of him, and said with some sighs.

These people are neither Mongolians nor Han Chinese, but ethnic minorities in the Western Regions, or people in Central Asia.

However, no matter who it is, when you meet Tianque, when you meet the scattered fireworks, it's an ending: death!

As the opponent's array moves forward, the return gun position is also moving forward, one thousand steps, eight hundred steps. They stopped moving and began to prepare for the launch in an orderly manner.

Here we go again? Zhang Yang looked at the catapults in the distance and gave instructions to the gunners of the God of War: "Target: the return gun of the tars, ready to fire."

The gunners replaced the solid iron bullets and replaced them with the shells of the twisted cannon.

Add cannon shells to the God of War cannon, which was Bian Yuanheng's initiative. Later, it was reported to Zhang Yang. After a study, Zhang Yang was really feasible.

It was originally a rifillery. When firing an iron bullet, it can rotate the shell out, improve the stability and increase the range. The shells equipped with scattered cannons cannot be used, and the range will be greatly reduced. However, it is still no problem to hit 800 steps away. After all, the God of War is longer than the barrel of the scattered fireworks, and the gunpowder kinetic energy is fully utilized. Although the accuracy will be greatly reduced, the shotgun will increase the lethality, which is much more obvious than using iron bullets.

However, a thousand steps away, you have to use iron bullets.

Now, since the Tutars approached the return gun to 800 steps, of course he is welcome.

Fire gun, which has not yet begun to contact, bows and arrows have not reached the range used. The first thing to attack is the guns of both sides.

While the gunfire passed on the head of the city, the fireball of the return gun also flew over. Like last time, it still relied on thick smoke to disintegrate the opponent's will to fight.

Seeing the fireball flying, everyone immediately covered their noses and mouths with the prepared wet towels.

The scattering cannon exploded on the position of the return gun.

Originally, the gunners who returned the gun had not taken it seriously. They fought the day before yesterday. Although the other party's artillery sounded very majestic, there were not many real hits.

However, they soon found that the other party had changed its tactics and fired not a solid iron bullet, but a face-like weapon with huge lethality, just like what the navy launched on its head before the end of the battle the day before yesterday!

Although the first round of gunfire was not high, the rain of bullets falling overhead still caused them a lot of damage.

Isn't it not to let people live?

The thick smoke has passed, but today's autumn is cool and there is no wind. Therefore, although the fireball is large, it did not cause too much trouble to the defenders. The nearby people covered the fireball tightly with earth, and the fireball was extinguished, and the smoke became lighter and lighter.

I frowned, as if the other party was on guard!

The soldiers are still moving forward. On the head of the city, the second round of artillery fire came down again.

This time, the gunners on the head of the city readjusted the angle of the artillery according to the landing point just now. Therefore, after this round, the accuracy began to improve a lot.

Back to the gun position, the voice of crying father and mother immediately sounded.

"Master, there are a lot of casualties in our return gun position. Do you think we can withdraw the return gun?" Gong Boxi said. "

"No, as long as the return gun is not destroyed, even if there is only the last one left, you can't retreat. Immediately add a group of gunners to them." He said coldly.
