Regarding the young leader's proposal to dig tunnels to bomb the city, Gao Yingxiang, who was a bystander, objected this time.
"This leader is also dogmatic."
Gao Yingxiang didn't scold him for his ignorance on the spot, but he rarely taught him kindly as an elder: "Digging the ground and bombing the city also depends on the actual situation in various places, for example, we are not suitable for that method now." ” "Why is this, isn't it just a closed city, under the effect of gunpowder, it doesn't fly into the sky all at once, this is what I heard when my husband read the military book."
The leader was unconvinced.
"The things on the book of war are dead, if you copy it, then you are no different from looking for death yourself, the use of soldiers is to pay attention to the existence of their hearts to judge the situation, pay attention to the impermanence of the soldiers, where there is a universal truth, first of all, the method of digging the ground is divided into two kinds, one is to dig into the city, and dig the ground to bomb the city, not to mention the method of digging into the city, on the little brother's method of digging the ground and bombing the city, it is not advisable to use the current time and time to do so, you see, although this small oblique pass is broken, but it is stuck between the steep mountains, Facing us here or a flat river can be seen at a glance, the mountains there not to mention the excavation, then it can only be excavated in our place, but the excavation tunnel is a surprise, you dig here in front of him, people will calculate the direction of your tunnel, if people have gunpowder, then in the direction of your tunnel, throw a large amount of gunpowder to blow up your tunnel, so that you fall short, if the other party does not have gunpowder, then throw some big stones can also slowly collapse your tunnel, It's still a falling short. ” Looking at the young leader who was blushing and still unconvinced, Gao Yingxiang, who was experienced in a hundred battles, said patiently again: "It doesn't work from the perspective of time, digging tunnels takes countless times, and it can't be effective in a day or two, let's rush to pull out the nails in front of us and enter Pinglu, if it takes time, Lu Hanqiang will return to Pinglu, and the most terrible thing is that."
Gao Yingxiang solemnly glanced at a group of pole leaders, took a deep breath and said: And the most terrifying thing is that Lu Hanqiang concurrently serves as the official position of the bandit supervisor of the Southern Fourth Mansion, once he reacts, he strictly orders the guards from all over the country to gather, the Southern Fourth Mansion, that is twenty-one guards, just fight the remaining five or six hundred men and horses in a guard, that is also tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and when we are exhausted from fighting, the army will pour out of the nest and counter-encircle us, then we will also be a disaster, so we only have the last and most cruel move, If we want to take the fortress in front of us as soon as possible, we can only rely on our numerical advantage, climb the city and fight, and fight with them. ” After being explained in detail by this veteran of a hundred battles, the young pole thought about it and bowed to Gao Yingxiang and said, "Brother has been taught." ” Gao Yingxiang stood up again, and pointed his fingers a little noisy to analyze for everyone: "According to the information given by the Great Alliance Lord, Lu Hanqiang is just three hundred personal soldiers, six hundred archers, and then there are one thousand Xiangyong recruited in Pinglu, and I just counted the giant arrows thrown at the head of the lower city on the battlefield, a total of ten rounds, and each round is only less than one thousand less than two thousand, which is in line with the figures announced by the Great Alliance Lord. ” He puffed up his chest and said confidently: "Even if these three thousand are all Lu Hanqiang's elite, can they withstand the attack of the 40,000 allied troops outside with the low wall?"
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, such an analysis is almost impeccable, such a fighter is absolutely reasonable, 40,000 against 3,000, even if you take your life to fill this small barrier in an instant.
Looking at these fussed guys, Gao Yingxiang snorted disdainfully, then turned around, and said with a serious face: "Great Alliance Leader, the battle has reached this point, there is no opportunistic way, now is the best time to completely annihilate Lu Hanqiang's elite, as long as he is annihilated and rushes through Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be an unobstructed Pinglu City." ” Qi Fei looked at the allies around him who were already demoralized, and secretly thought that tens of thousands of troops were blocked here by this small fortress, if they didn't fight a bad battle, their spirit would be scattered, and they would not be able to gather together in the future, for the sake of morale, it was time to let go of the original idea of preserving strength, even if this battle was a heavy loss, it would be fought even if it was a heavy loss, so he gritted his teeth and said: "King Gao Chuang is right, as long as we fight Lu Hanqiang's descendants here, we will be invincible, and this battle will continue." ” The battle must be fought, or everyone will not work in vain, but after the massacre during the day, everyone has been chilled by the terrifying giant arrows of Lu Hanqiang's army, and they must find a way to restrain him.
Gao Yingxiang, who has experienced a hundred battles, stood up again this time and proposed a method of double shields, "Great Alliance Leader, in my previous experience of attacking cities and conquering cities, I have never seen such a huge cluster of arrows, and I have never seen such a lethal rain of arrows, so our attacking brothers not only need courage, but also need to protect the equipment of our brothers." ” Qi Fei frowned and said: "The most effective way to resist the bow and arrow is the shield, but I have seen this thing, the ordinary shield is as vulnerable as the paper paste in front of him, and it cannot play its due role at all, which has a huge psychological fear for the attacking brothers, causing the brothers to be afraid, so it is imperative to think of a way to restrain him." ” Gao Yingxiang nodded, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "When I attacked the county seat in Shaanxi, I also encountered a Tiger Zun cannon that was stronger than a bow and arrow. ” "A double shield, what's that?"
Qi Fei and all the people were very confused, yes, the poles in Shanxi were happy, because they were almost all land-sitting households, based on the traditional occupation of the mountain as the king, robbing some passing merchants, Bangbang meat tickets, collecting some protection fees, and everyone had no ambitions, so they didn't have the idea of going down the mountain to conquer the city.
But Shaanxi's poles are different, in the past three years, because of natural disasters and man-made disasters and rebellion, they have no base, no nest, in order to get a rare little food, can only attack the county, and after attacking the county seat, they have to escape the encirclement and suppression of the official army, and the more people are coerced and participated, the more difficult it is to support them to survive, and also force them to flow to areas that have not suffered from military disasters and bandits, so Shaanxi's poles are mainly mobile, so they are called Liukou by the official army, Since it is necessary to constantly attack the city and break through the fortress, it is necessary to face the strong resistance and firepower of the officials, troops and villagers.
The firearms and equipment of the Ming army are second to none in this world, and there are many kinds of firearms, so many that the names are absolutely perverted, and as for the effect of some firearms, that is, smoke and fire, most of them scare people and kill and injure the enemy.
However, the Tiger Zun cannon is definitely the king of these firearms, not only the cannon type is different in size, convenient, fast and easy to operate, but it is much more popular with soldiers than those who kill the enemy and injure themselves, and the projectile is huge, and it always causes huge losses to the siege pole.
As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and some things are forced out, so a new type of defense equipment double shield was born in Liukouli.
The so-called double shield is actually very simple, that is, two layers of thick planks are folded together, but there is a key technology here, that is, between the double planks, a layer of quilt is superimposed, so that Huzun's projectile hits the shield, and the outside may be broken, but there is a quilt cushion inside, which ensures that the back plank will not break, so as to ensure the safety of the people behind.
"Since there is such a good thing, then we will build it immediately, and when the time comes, I will see what else he can do with Lu Hanqiang's thief soldiers."
A group of leaders immediately shouted excitedly.
"Building this thing is not something that can be done overnight, so we will go all out tomorrow, the most important thing is that Gao Yingxiang paused: "The most important thing is that we restore morale." ” In fact, this is the fundamental, in a sunset battle, without letting the other side kill or wound a single person, he suffered more than 1,000 elite casualties, and the blow to morale is huge, as long as a rational leader, he must ease this pessimistic and desperate psychology, and then adjust to fight again.
This is the experience after a hundred battles.
Gao Yingxiang looked at these rabble, he didn't even understand this, he almost had nothing to say, but it was for the tens of thousands of brothers in Shaanxi, for the promised grain and grass, that he fought with these stupid birds, but what the result was can almost be seen from now.
Only defeat and no victory.
Qi Fei, who had made up his mind, resolutely turned around at this time and said loudly to his allies: "For the first battle of this army, you must have the heart to die and fight to the end, who dares to disrespect the command of the leader of this alliance and retreat, and kill on the spot."
At this time, Qi Fei's waist was straight, and he no longer had the demeanor and smile of a scribe, and his whole body was full of the majestic majesty of a general, which made the group of younger brothers in front of him and behind him awe-inspired.
Qi Fei twisted his face and shouted with a dark face, "Where is Xiao Qi?"
When a tall and mighty man in the crowd heard this, he stepped forward and hugged his fists loudly, "Sir."
"This little seven was originally Qi Fei's old man, and he was too rigid and mean to treat people, and he was not liked by all the brothers, which made Qi Fei feel extremely relieved, so he always took him with him and acted as a thug and bodyguard.
"Xiao Qi, I order you to take two hundred of my own soldiers, and each family will send ten fierce brothers as a team of supervisors, and whoever retreats without an order will be slashed and killed on the spot, and patrol the front of the formation with their heads to set an example."
"Honoring the Grand Alliance's Command."
After speaking, he turned around, looked at his allies and said loudly: "I, Chen Xiaoqi, am the commander of the battle team under the order of the leader of the Great Alliance, if any of the big bosses' minions do not obey the general's order to retreat, Hugh blames the brothers, my subordinates are ruthless, and they will definitely kill you on the spot."
The majestic gaze looked at all the people, and there was already a thick murderous aura in those eyes, which made everyone present feel cold. t1706231537:
