Under the command of Li Yi, the heavy firearms battalion of the Anxi army launched an attack on the city of Terma, although the Serbian army was holding on to the city, under the continuous attack of the Xia army's firearms, although the casualties were not many, but the morale was very low, in order to save their lives, the Serbian soldiers all hid in the hidden soldiers' caves.
Although the sharp heavy firearms of the Xia army did not cause large-scale casualties to the Serbian army, they caused great damage to the city of Termaze, in the first day of the attack, more than seventy percent of the buildings in the city have been completely destroyed, among which there is also a large military grain depot, at one moment the shell directly hit a stronghold of the Serbian army to put military rations, because the weather is dry and dry, it instantly caused a sky-high fire, and the fire can be seen ten miles away.
"Daduhu, you see that the city is on fire, it seems that we have burned down a granary of the Serbian army."
One of the generals said, pointing to the fire in the city.
"Great."
Li Yi said very excitedly: "I burned the military rations of the Serbian army, and this time I was so protective that I wanted to see what he was defending the city." ” According to common sense, the Serbian army has at least three large granaries, and there are many small granaries in the city, and these losses may not make the Serbian army unable to defend the city."
The adjutant general said to Li Yi.
"You're right, according to the news found out by the Pontus Protectorate, there are indeed three large battalion granaries in the city of Therma, although this granary is not so bad that the Serbian army can't hold the city, but it also hurts the vitality of the Serbian army, and you look at the fire, there is also a spreading posture, if it is not extinguished in time, it is very likely that the fire will spread to the whole city, and there will not be many people burned to death by the Serbian army" Li Yi said to the deputy general.
"Dadu Protector, now that the Cypriot army in the city is bound to be in chaos, should we take advantage of the situation to attack" The deputy general asked Li Yi.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although the Serbian army is in chaos, the Serbian army still has the city wall as protection, and the forced attack is bound to suffer huge losses. ” "Yes, the last general commands" In the city of Termaze, the veteran Mehhat is directing the Serbian army to extinguish the fire, but the fire is too big, there is no way to extinguish it in a moment, in order to reduce losses, the Serbian army is desperately carrying grain and grass outside, which is the key to whether the Serbian army can hold the city.
"Quick, get all the grain and grass away," shouted Mehhardt, at the top of his voice.
Just as Mehhat was shouting, the Serbian army rushed to transport grain and grass, and an explosion sounded in the fire, which immediately scattered in all directions; The fire became the most obvious target of the Xia army's attack outside the city, and more than half of the Xia army's firepower was concentrated here, and the Serbian army, which was rushing to transport grain and grass, suffered huge losses.
On the first day, the Xia army did not immediately attack the city, but used firearms to continuously attack the city of Terra, and as soon as night fell, everything returned to calm; The veteran Mehart came to the palace of the crown prince Xue Qiaoer, and when he saw Xue Qiaoer, he saluted and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, our army has lost nearly one-third of the grain and grass, and if the Xia army continues to attack, the remaining grain and grass may not be spared." ” Where had Xue Qiaoer seen this kind of battle, and asked with a frown: "Old general, what do you say we should do?"
"If we want to defend the city, the first step must be to protect our grain, grass and ordnance, once there is no food and grass, our army will be completely boastful."
Mehart said to Shecio.
Xue Qiaoer nodded and said, "I know this." ” "The last general means that it is best to move most of the grain, grass and ordnance underground, so as to avoid being hit by the Xia army, and our soldiers can also hide underground, once the Xia army enters the city, we can attack the enemy from all directions."
Veteran Mehart said to Xue Qiaohe.
Xue Qiaoer thought for a while and said, "The old general is reasonable, so let's do it."
"But His Royal Highness the Prince, the problem now is that we don't have a tunnel, so the last general hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can mobilize everyone to build the tunnel together."
Mehhart continued.
Xue Qiaoer nodded and said, "Okay, I'll figure this out; Now that the laborers in the city have been pulled to defend the city, there are only some old and sick people left in the city, and it is impossible to dig the tunnels of the conjoined body, but it is still no problem to dig more cellars in the city. ” Under the command of Xue Qiaoe, as long as everyone in the city except for the soldiers defending the city, the rest of the people were mobilized to dig cellars, and the Serbian army hid part of the military rations, ordnance, and a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry, etc., all in the ground, and many things were not found even decades later, and thousands of years later.
As night fell, the Xia army's attack was temporarily stopped, in the camp of the Xia army outside the city of Telma, at this time the lights were bright, in the Xia army's Chinese army tent, all the generals were returning to Li Yi today's situation, and the logistics chief bowed to Li Yi and saluted: "The last general is incompetent to implore the capital to protect the crime." ” Li Yi saw the logistics commander kneeling on the ground and said, "What's the matter, what did you do?"
"The general really has no choice, there is really no way to prepare gunpowder for the firearms battalion."
The logistics chief knelt on the ground and said; You must know that when marching and fighting, generals basically don't need to bow down, because the armor is too heavy, and it is difficult to get up once you squat.
Li Yi asked the commander of the firearms battalion with his hands behind his back: "How long can the gunpowder of the whole army be able to support now?"
The firearms battalion commander said to Li Yi: "If you estimate according to the current situation, it can only last for one day. ” Hearing the words of the commander of the firearms battalion, Li Yi scratched his head and said: "One day is definitely not enough, it will take at least two days, and our ordnance and gunpowder should be able to arrive at ten minutes after sunset." ” "Most of the guards use one day's gunpowder to fight for three days, this is really too much," the lieutenant general said to Li Yi.
Li Yi smiled and said, "That's too much, just say it." ” The adjutant general could only stubbornly say: "What the last general means, is it a little too picky to protect you?"
” "Bastard, Lao Tzu, are you so picky" Li Yi said very unhappily.
"The last general broke his promise, please atone for your sins."
The adjutant general said to Li Yi that he wanted to fight.
After Li Yi finished talking to the deputy general, he chatted with the deputy general, Li Yi looked at the firearms battalion and ordered: "Order the firearms battalion to continue the attack after midnight today." ” "Yes, the last will understand" Under the command of Li Yi, the Xia army launched a fierce attack on the Serbian army at night, and the sound of violent explosions sounded in the city, and in order to cover up the fact that there was no gunpowder, the Xia army mixed some stones in the process of attacking, although it would not explode, but once it was concentrated by the boulders, there was only one death; The time when the Xia army launched the attack was really in the middle of the night, which was when the Serbian army was most mentally exhausted, and many Serbian soldiers lost their lives in their sleep.
