The forty-fourth chapter cannibalism (5)
Chapter 44: Brothers and feet are tragic (5)
The first thing Tie Xuan did when he arrived at the camp was to ask whether the Yan army had launched an attack in the past two days. When he learned that the Yan army had not moved, no soldiers came to attack, he was really surprised.
According to the strong and cautious attack of the King of Yan, Tiexuan was worried that the Yan army would attack without firming their foothold in the front of the Liao army. Who knew that the Yan army would not move?
Zhu Zhi was surprised. It would be better if someone didn't come and fight. Why did you hurry up and follow me: "You ask me, how can I know? Anyway, I didn't dare to raise the prince's flag. Isn't it troublesome to attack the fourth brother if he is anxious and his eyes are red, so he will be in trouble?"
Tie Xuan smiled slightly: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness. From this perspective, the morale of the Yan army has been taken away. Fifty thousand people have no courage to attack me just 20,000 people.
This is very inconsistent with Yan Ni's style, and it only means that Yan Ni has no courage to attack the Liaodong Army."
Zhu Zhi thought about it and it was really the case. In the past, Zhu Di always rushed forward in wars. Zhending, Baishahe, and Shahe have always been Zhu Di taking the initiative in all the battles, but this time it was really abnormal.
Zhu Zhi said: "I thought he had any conspiracy. If he looked at the tripod stone, he wouldn't dare to fight it."
Tie Xuan said: "No conspiracy can compete with strength. This is what Your Highness often teaches us. He just wants to take advantage of the difficulties in transferring food transportation in the mountains of our army to fight a protracted war with our army, hoping that our army will have all the food and retreat. "
Wang Feng sneered beside him, "What do he think of us? We are not. I would like to ask Your Highness to issue an order to rest for one day. Tomorrow, the whole army will enter the city and fight against Yan Ni to the decisive battle."
Zhu Zhi smiled: "Little Ma Wang has such a murderous aura. How about the tripod? Is the team tired?"
Tie Xuan said: "I must be a little tired after rushing the mountain road in a row, but our army only has enough food and grass to support for five days. The ones who are transported in the future may not come up so quickly, so the soldiers are very fast. Let's take a night off and send troops tomorrow morning."
Zhu Zhi said: "What if they closed the camp and didn't fight?"
Tie Xuan said: "It's no longer time to stop playing if you don't have a fight. If he doesn't fight, we will use cannons to bombard the camps one by one, and then the iron cavalry will rush to the camp. How many days can he withstand it?" Qu Neng and Wang Wen laughed, as if he destroyed the food in the court.
It's easy to get it.
...
A "bang" sounded, awakening Zhu Di from his sleep. It seemed that the Liaodong Army was about to attack. He called out the guards outside and said to them: "Go, let Zhang Yu organize all troops to guard the camp strictly, and they cannot get close to the city gate."
The Yan army was arranged in Zunhua in this way, with the Yanqing guards in the east gate, the Longqing guards in the north gate, the Miyun guards in the south gate and the Yanshan vanguards in the west gate. Zhu Di led the remaining troops of Yanshan's left, center and right guards, Taixing guards, Bohai guards and Fuyu guards to defend the city.
The east gate and north gate of the enemy were directly facing the enemy, and the two guards were placed on guard. It was as solid as a god.
After Zhu Di finished the arrangement, he thought to himself, let the fifteenth brother go to work hard, and fell asleep on the bed. But before he fell asleep, another cannon sound came into his ears. Zhu Di took another pillow and blocked his ears in annoyance.
But it was useless at all, and the cannon sounded and penetrated into his ears. Zhu Di cursed his mother twice, added another pillow, and suddenly he called out a bad cry. He jumped up from the bed.
Lao Shiwu was in the camp. According to the information, Lao Shiwu had a powerful cannon. Zhu Di shouted: "Come here." Several guards hurriedly ran in, "Hurry, change my clothes and armor."
By the time Zhu Di rode his horse and climbed the east gate with the most intense cannon sounds, there was a pot of porridge outside the city gate. The Yanqing Guard's camp was guarding the city gate, and it was already in a mess inside.
The camp tent fell a lot, and there were still a few burning. The soldiers fled around the camp for cover, and they wanted to hide ten people under a big cart.
Looking from the east gate camp, about a thousand steps away, in the morning light, several military flags fluttered, and one side was "Ningyuan Hu Ben". The formation under the banner was in front of two rows of black cannons.
White smoke came out from time to time from time to time, and followed the cannonball eyes and saw an arc drawn in the air and flew into the camp. The most terrifying thing was.
Some of these shells can explode, some explode in the air, some fall to the ground and explode, some bounce twice and then explode, and of course some do not explode, but jumping a few times also makes the tent messy.
Zhu Di watched with his own eyes a shell hit a soldier. The soldier was blown up to the air and his leg was broken away from his body. The soldier fell to the ground howled twice and fainted.
Zhu Dimu calculated the distance and immediately took a breath of air conditioning. At least 1,500 steps away. Just kidding, his largest three thousand kilograms of general cannon can only hit a maximum of 1,000 steps.
There are also restrictions. The weight is too high to maneuver. Only two gates are placed at each city gate at the head of the Beijing city. Moreover, if you want to hit a distance of 1,000 steps, you must reach the maximum charge. The gunners do not advocate installing so much, which is easy to explode.
Generally, in the field, you can only carry a much smaller tiger squat cannon. If you do not fire shells, you can only shoot iron slag, and you can only take fifty steps at most.
Yes, but now the old fifteenth cannon is not only far away, but also clearly sees that it has wheels and can be maneuvered.
Although it has been said in the intelligence that the Liaodong Army used cannons to attack the city wall, Zhu Di always thought that it was using something like the general's cannon, and how many horses would be exhausted to pull to a distance that could be shot directly.
Moreover, he always felt that the defeated people lacked the offensive spirit. If he sent a light cavalry to attack, wouldn’t these cannons sit and wait for death? However, the scene in front of him made Zhu Di feel a little scared.
The Yan generals next to him also showed timidity in front of such strong artillery fire from the Liaodong Army.
Looking over again, there were two four square arrays in front of the cannon array, with spears like a forest, pointing to the sky. There should be two thousand households, one-colored helmets and breastplates, shining under the dawn light.
This is based on the horse formation. Once the Yan army launches an attack, they will become the first breakwater in front of the artillery formation.
There is a dazzling red military flag on both sides of the central formation - the "Guanning Iron Cavalry". According to the general flag, the Yulin Right Guard on the right is the south, and the Guangning Central Guard on the left is the north, both of which are first-class main forces in Liaodong.
At this time, the cavalry were dismounting to prepare for war. Zhu Di noticed that there was a square formation in the middle of the Yulin Right Guard, and all the soldiers were lying on the ground, and each of them had two auxiliary soldiers to serve. Needless to say, this was the "Yulin Heavy Cavalry" with the strongest impact in Liaodong.
Behind Ningyuanwei, there was a slanted hillside, with a slanted platform temporarily set up on it, with three rows of soldiers in front of the platform and a row of flag officials in the front row, divided into several groups, and it was through these people who commanded the battle.
A huge flag behind was rising on the platform, and the big "Liao" character flew in the morning breeze. Under the banner, a group of people surrounded a middle general, too far away to see clearly, but Zhu Di was sure that was the fifteenth old Zhu Zhi.
Since paying birthday to my father in Hongwu in 30 years, the two have never seen each other again.
Behind the platform, there is the backscene of the hillside, and some soldiers can be seen vaguely, but they cannot see clearly the flags of those numbers. However, there must be Zhu Zhi's reserve team here.
After reading the Liaodong military arrangements, Zhu Di turned around and sat on the chair in front of the city tower and said silently. Zhang Yu bowed and said, "Your Highness, let's attack. If you continue like this, it will take only one morning to finish Yanqing Guard."
Zhu Di remained silent.
Zhu Neng said: "Your Highness, I will lead the headquarters to quietly leave the city and suddenly launch an attack. At this distance, the opponent's cannon did not have time to retreat."
Zhu Di still said nothing. Zhu Gaoxu also came out and said, "Father, are you waiting for its cannons to blow over one by one?"
As he was speaking, a general outside the city rushed to the city gate, but it was Li Bin, the commander of Yanqing Guard. He got out of the saddle and dismounted and shouted to the city: "Your Highness, please give me the order. Brothers can't hold it in. Instead of being bombarded by this cannon, it's better to go out and kill the enemy. Your Highness, let's rush!" Li Bin is known as "Li Dabang". He is a powerful general in the Yan army. He suffocated him to death by fighting such a battle. Seeing his men and horses being bombed bit by bit, his camp was flattened one by piece.
Li Bin couldn't stand it anymore. Instead of being so cowardly, it would be better to go out and sing happily, so he ran to the city to ask for a fight.
Zhu Di stumbled down the city and shouted: "Li Bin, look at your bear, you'll be timid when you shoot a few shots? When you go back, you can hold your subordinates together. If you can't hold them, you have to keep them. Hold on for a while."
Li Bin gritted his teeth and saluted, shouting: "The last general is in charge, Your Highness, Li Bin will throw 100 or tens of kilograms here today." As he said that, he flew on his horse and ran back to the camp.
When Zhu Di saw him walking away, he said to the generals around him: "It's not the time yet. The Liao army's artillery barrel has not yet been red. After a while.
Huo Zhen, Baosheng went to reorganize the army, Duoyan and Taining were the first team, attacking the central Ningyuan Guard position with crossbow arrows, and then turning to both sides to cover the flanks.
People come, go to Ximen to call the vanguard over and order Zheng Heng to see my banner, and after leaving the city, he attacked the Ningyuan guard's main formation head-on.
"The generals suddenly realized that any cannon will become popular when it is shot. Only when the cannon becomes popular can the firepower advantage of the Liaodong Army be minimized. Huo Zhen, Baosheng and the other two took the order.
Zhu Di also ordered a team of guards to carefully count the firing frequency of each cannon.
Sure enough, after another moment of fire, the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army gradually fell, and some artillery had stopped shooting, or it was fired after half a day. Zhu Di slapped the case and stood up and shouted: "It's this time."
Send a signal, Duoyan and Taining Guards attack! Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, and others are the second team to attack the Liaodong Army on both sides. They must entangle the Yulin Right Guard and Guangning Central Guards. Zhang Yu and Zhao Tuo are listed as you follow me to come out and swear to level the formation of Ningyuan Guards.
