Chapter 287 Fierce Battle

The thick smoke floated over. Although it had retreated into the second trench, everyone still couldn't stand it.

Shi Yi didn't expect that the war had turned into such a situation until now. The Tatars on the opposite side were too cunning. They didn't fight with themselves, but came to this kind of yin. It's really unnatural!

Soldiers and cunning people can use all kinds of methods in order to win. Of course, the defenders don't know. They always kill each other with the sky at a long distance and do not fight with the other party, which also makes the other party's army very depressed. In the eyes of the tars, they are cunning and unnatural.

In order to restrain the long range of the fire barrel, the tars came up with this method of shooting lighter fireballs with a return gun. The fireball was modified to greatly improve the degree of smoke. As soon as this secret weapon was used, it really achieved good results.

It's just that the cannon at the head of the city is too powerful. His army is only a few hundred steps away from the other party's trench, but these hundreds of steps can't be crossed.

Tuo Tuo stood on the high hill. Looking at the formation of this siege, he secretly sighed that the fireball fired by the return gun was relatively successful, but his own infantry could not rush up. It seems that we have to use cavalry again.

"The order, let the Yuekuo cavalry charge from the two wings of the infantry again, pay attention, let him maintain the scattered formation." Take it off and say it.

He has keenly found that although the other party's artillery is powerful, as long as the personnel are not too concentrated, the casualties will not be too large. It's all because the formation of the thousands of people in front of him is too dense. Therefore, when one shot goes down, a large area will fall down. With the rapid impact, the cavalry should be able to break through the other party. A protective net composed of artillery.

Zhang Yang stood on the head of the city and watched the actions of the tars.

Shiyi has retreated into the second trench, but with thick smoke, his position is filled with smoke, and the range of the sky will be greatly reduced. Besides, due to the attack by this primitive chemical weapon, the soldiers will be unprepared and their combat effectiveness will decline.

Although the God of War cannon is constantly bombarding the other party's return gun position, unfortunately, due to the relatively small number of God of War guns, it cannot form a greater lethality, and the shell is solid. Although the direct hit can smash the return gun to pieces, it does not have much impact if it is not hit.

In the original idea, the range of the return gun was 300 steps to the sky. Therefore, Zhang Yang originally planned to cover it with a scattered cannon to kill a large number of the gunners of the other party and make the return gun lose its combat effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, the tartars actually improved the range by reducing the weight of the shell, and the shell was still a fireball with thick smoke!

This is like Iraq in later generations. Although the missile technology is backward, it can improve the range of the missile by reducing the payload, which is also a last resort.

In this way, the following trenches that should have become the meat grinder, the Tianque and scattered cannons of Shiyi in the trenches were not useful. I don't know how depressed Shiyi should be at this moment.

Fortunately, although the Tutar's return gun caught him off guard, the Tutar's infantry was in the range of the scattered cannon at the head of the city. If he wanted to attack the city, he had no other way to attack and attack. Moreover, that dense formation is simply sent to death.

Therefore, the Tatar infantry has been hindered by a distance of about 600 steps from the head of the city and unable to move forward.

The battle situation can be said to be temporarily deadlocked. The only difference is that the Tutar's fireball can only temporarily lose the combat effectiveness of Shiyi's troops, while his scattered cannon is constantly consuming the Tutars's troops. Or in a technical term, the tars give themselves soft kills, and they give the tars hard kills.

However, looking at the attack posture of the Tatar, you can know that it is indeed not easy for this master to escape. He will definitely continue to adopt other tactics.

"The tartar cavalry began to move." Shi Nai'an said next to him.

Through the smoky battlefield, it can be found that the tartar cavalry quickly attacked under the two wings of the infantry. Moreover, the tar cavalry obviously absorbed the lesson. Instead of piling up, they dispersed and attacked this side at high speed.

What do the tartar cavalry want to do? Zhang Yang judged the situation in an instant: the infantry was blocked, and the tars wanted to mobilize the cavalry. With their mobile surnames, the cavalry would greatly reduce the effect of scattered fireworks. In this way, they were likely to break through the trench defense line under the city.

Didn't you bury a large amount of gunpowder in front of the trench in advance? It's time to light it! Zhang Yang said, "Command Shi Yi to immediately light the gunpowder in front of the trench, let the tars take an earthy plane, give up the three trenches, and retreat to the city. In addition, Bian Yuanheng's naval forces were ordered to cover the tartars in the north of the city.

At present, the biggest impact on your side is those return guns. Since the trenches arranged outside have lost their original role, you might as well let the team withdraw in. The tartars will definitely move the return guns forward. If you want to hit the wall, you must be close to the wall within 300 steps and fire 150 catties of stone bombs. At that time, it's time to cover your own scattered fireworks.

Shi Yi immediately ordered to withdraw from the first trench in an emergency, but he forgot to light the arranged gunpowder, and the fuse was in the first trench.

"General, the eldest brother orders you to light the gunpowder and then go back to the city." The messenger found Shi Yi, who was covering his nose with a rag, and said.

Light the gunpowder? Only then did Shiyi remember that the gunpowder arranged at the forefront had not yet worked! The leads were pre-arranged, covered with a thin layer of soil, so the fireball thrown by the tars did not ignite the fuse.

"Huzi, you take someone back, I'll light the medicine!" Shi Yi said that this battle was really cowardly. Shi Yi decided to go out in person.

"General, I'd better go!" Hu Zi couldn't help but slipped forward from the traffic trench.

"If you dare to resist the order, I'll kill you when you go back!" Shi Yi said.

"Then I have to wait for my life to come back!" Huzi's voice came back from afar. From the beginning, he followed Shiyi. This time, when he saw Shiyi, he wanted to fight in person. The enemy in front of him was so unclear and very dangerous. He was eager to protect the master and did not hesitate to resist a military order.

"Retreat!" Shi Yi said that staying here will have no effect. Go up to the wall and destroy the other party with Tianque!

Shi Yi looked at the place where the tiger disappeared and turned back helplessly.

Hu Zi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was very skillless. He walked through the 100-step traffic trench and came to the first trench.

At this time, in the first trench, wolf smoke had been everywhere, and it could be seen that there was no time to retreat, and the comrades-in-arms who died in the trench were full of dense arrows. It can be seen that the big barrels of the Tutars were really powerful.

He dug open the soil with his hand, revealing a small hole that had already been reserved. The fuse went all the way here. Huzi touched his chest. It was terrible. He forgot to bring a fire fold!

It is likely that he fell in the process of running. The tiger was very frustrated. Did he go back to get it? Forget it, it's too late.

Huzi pulled out the bayonet from his belt, quietly poked out his head, and stabbed a fireball that was still smoking with a bayonet. At this moment, the fireball had been burning for a long time, and the smoke had faded. The bayonet picked up the fireball and came to the twist. He used the fireball next to the twist, blew several breaths, choked into tears, and finally twisted the twist. It's on.

Looking at the smoking twist, Huzi opened his mouth and revealed the only white front teeth. "Tar, let you taste the taste of flying to the sky!"

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration on the ground, and the Tuttar cavalry came again? Hu Zi quietly poked out his head.

I don't know when the Tatars stopped firing fireballs, and it was the north wind. The situation in the north could be seen clearly. The Tatars cavalry were divided into countless teams and killed on the side of the trenches.

The air was already full of bows and arrows they threw. The tars were shooting arrows while cavalry. The target was still the first trench at the front. They did not know that the people in the trench had been withdrawn and had rushed into the range of the bows and arrows. Naturally, they had to launch bows and arrows to cover.

Damn, there are tens of thousands of cavalry rushing over, each of whom shoots one arrow, that is, ten thousand arrows! As soon as Hu Zi lowered his head, an arrow wiped his scalp and stuck it on the edge of the trench behind him.

Remove! If you don't withdraw, when the tar cavalry comes up, you can't run away.

Without saying a word, Hu Zi rushed to the traffic trench behind him.

The trenches are arranged in one shape at the forefront, in the east-west direction, so that the bows and arrows fired by the tars from the north can hit very little in the trenches. However, the traffic trenches are different. The traffic trenches are connected to three east-west trenches, which are connected from north to south. Many of the arrows fired by the tars from the north have entered. Traffic trench.

Huzi has no other way. Although it is safe to stay in the trench, after the tars of the brigade came up, he could not escape with his two fists and could not escape. He could only rush to the rear before that.

Fortunately, the tar is aimed at the sniper surface of the trench. Thirty steps back, there are few bows and arrows to take care of. As long as the tiger rushes through the distance of thirty steps, there will be no problem.

Make a bet! Huzi gritted his teeth and rushed back. From time to time, arrows came around him. Huzi did not look back, but ran back as hard as he did.

Run, run, run!

Finally, he was about to get out of the dangerous area, but Huzi staggered and fell down.

I tripped over the damn fireball! The fireball rolled into the traffic trench.

Hu Zi secretly shouted unlucky, regardless of the hot calf belly, got up and ran forward.

Suddenly, my back felt cold, and then a feeling of pain came to my mind.

I was hit by an arrow! Hu Zi felt that his legs were immediately like lead. He could no longer take a step. He ran two more steps forward, and finally couldn't support it and fell down.

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this time, the fuse he lit finally burned to the buried gunpowder, hundreds of steps ahead of the whole position, and a shocking roar at the same time.

Huzi closed his eyes with a smile and finally completed the task, but he didn't see how many tartars flew into the sky?

Shi Yi finally led his hand back to the city. The hard-working trenches outside the city were all thrown there for nothing. Everyone was disgraced and coughed by the thick smoke.

As soon as he entered the city, he took the towel and put it in his mouth. The smell of stimulation immediately decreased a lot. Shi Yi walked up to the tower dejectedly and saw Zhang Yang.

He couldn't control his mood any more. Shi Yitong knelt on the ground and said, "Brother, I didn't complete the task. Please punish me!"

The two shoulders have been shaking. Shi Yi's mood is very excited. The excited mood in anger can't be restrained.

"Shiyi, get up. Don't be like a woman. Isn't it that you don't have a good time. Are you returning to the city now? Look, you brought all your men back. We didn't hurt our vitality. What are we afraid of if we lose our position? At worst, we will take it back. Zhang Yang said, "It's common for soldiers to win or lose. Besides, we didn't lose at all, but we didn't take advantage of the tars as usual."

Shi Yi then raised his head and said, "Brother, I want to take someone to take back the trench."

"Forget it, don't be in a hurry. Let your people go to the city immediately and prepare to entertain the tars with Tianque in the city." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother!" Shi Yi replied loudly that although he had lost his position, he must find his face at the head of the city and beat the tar to death!

Getting closer and closer to the enemy's trenches, the cavalry slowed down, some were ready for three-eyed fire, and some were waving spears to take over with the enemy.

The return gun stopped shooting, and the smoke on the position gradually dissipated. Only the unfinished fireball was still emitting wisps of smoke. The position is densely full of arrows. Even if people hide below, I'm afraid they will be shot into hedgehogs.

Go ahead, rush forward. The most elite bodyguards are not afraid of heaven and earth. They just want to avenge their companions who were killed here a few days ago. They want to cut down all the enemies hiding in the trench.

The front cavalry was close to the trench. He skillfully controlled the horse, but accelerated to the trench, holding a spear in one hand and looking at the ground in front of him warily.

The trench appeared in front of him. He suddenly pulled up the reins of the horse, and his legs clamped the horse's abdomen. With his instructions, the horse kicked the ground with his hind legs, raised its forelimbs, and jumped up from the trench.

If there is no defense, the trench is an effective mechanism to block the Tutar cavalry, and with advance precautions, it is difficult to cross the cavalry from the not wide trenches.

The moment he crossed, he looked down at the trenches below. It was empty and there was nothing.

Has the other party retreated?

He looked up at the head of the city, which was only 300 steps away from the head of the city.

"Ban!" At the head of the city, Shiyi fired angry bullets. The bullet flew towards the front of the tarsar with the roaring wind.

At the head of the city, the soldiers had already clenched the sky. After waiting for the tars to approach, they returned the tartars with fierce rain.

The effect of scattered fireworks has become very poor, but there are still so many days waiting for them!

The Tatar cavalry felt a hot wind roaring in their ears. As soon as they touched their ears, they bled out.

The bullet shot by Shiyi just now did not hit him, but just wiped his ears.

Although it is condescending, although Tianque can play a good result of 300-step fixed target when shooting the target, in actual combat, there are many conditions. For example, now, the cavalry of the tars are in the fast maneuver, and there is the influence of the north wind. In addition, Shiyi is a little excited at this moment, so the bullet is hit. It flew.

"Damn it, I can't kill you if I don't believe it!" Shi Yi moved the upper lever, completed the loading again, and then aimed at it.

This time, Shi Yi calmed down. If he wanted to hit the tars at such a long distance, he had to estimate the movement of the tars in advance and measure them in advance. Therefore, this time, Shi Yi was not aiming at the tars, but aimed at the horse's head in front of the tars.

"Ban!" The lead bullet shot out again.

The front of the Tatar cavalry suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that his chest had been stained red by a large amount of blood. His eyes were blurred and he couldn't help falling off the horse.

As the cavalry moved forward, most of the cavalry had swept through the trenches and rushed forward. What they were about to face was the fire at the head of the city.

"Report to the master, the first battalion of the bodyguards has invaded the other side's trench, but there are no enemies in the trench, and they have retreated." A messenger hurried over and reported to Tot.

Have you retreated? He was a little surprised. He thought that the other party would be entangled with his cavalry in the trench. As soon as his cavalry approached the trench, the artillery at the head of the other side of the city would not dare to shoot again in order to prevent accidental injury to his own people. Unexpectedly, the other party retreated?

When Xue Xue attacked, the trench caused a lot of casualties to his cavalry. Now, the other party actually took the initiative to give up the trench and return to the city. That is to say, his army can go directly to the other party's city. What medicine do they sell in the gourd?

However, at this moment, the arrow is already on the string, and it is impossible not to send it. Since the cavalry has arrived, the infantry must continue to keep up, the return gun position has to move forward, and the bed crossbow can also exert their power.

There is no ladder in the siege equipment. When the return gun approaches 250 steps, a few cannons can collapse the city wall, and the moat can be filled. At that time, the soldiers will rush up and it will be easy to break the city.

Before that, it was necessary to take down the trench position arranged by the other party under the city. I didn't expect that the other party would let go so easily.

"Order the step army to follow immediately. No matter how much it costs, it must rush into the vicinity of the first trench." Take it off and say it.

Looking at the sun, it was already noon. Unexpectedly, inadvertently, the siege had been fought for a whole morning.

At this time, step back and make a fire to cook? That's absolutely impossible. If you quit now, your efforts in the morning will be in vain. Up to now, tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured, and we must not stop.

The soldiers on the front line can only fight with hunger, which is also a common thing. To this extent, they have long forgotten that their stomachs have begun to coo and are rushing forward.

No matter how fierce the gunfire overhead is, no matter whether the people around you have fallen or not, as long as there is still a breath, you have to keep rushing forward.
