1046:Hanchang Pass Lost (1)
Facts have proved that Meng Hun still underestimated his father-in-law.
There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.
What is Jiang Pengji's nickname?
850,000 viewers in the live broadcast room unanimously recognized - humanoid battlefield strangulation machine.
Give her an indestructible machete, and she can tear down a war fortress alone, too strong to be a person.
The terrain of Hanchang Pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers do not have much focus, so it is difficult to charge or retreat. The enemy army occupies the advantage of the level, and gradually regains the disadvantage by a few points, the battlefield seems to be dangerous, but the Hanchang Pass is still solid and difficult to shake.
"My lord, it can't go on like this. Although the soldiers climbed the city wall with the help of the ladder, the city wall was narrow, and it was not easy to set up a position-"
The city wall of Hanchang Pass is narrow, there are too few places to stay, and the number of soldiers who climb the wall at the same time is not large.
The enemy is different, they climb the wall from behind the pass, the terrain is relatively open, and they can completely rely on the advantage of numbers to kill the people who climb the wall.
Looking at our corpses that kept falling from the city wall, not only Feng Zhen's face was not good-looking, but Jiang Pengji's expression was also gloomy.
If it is an ordinary city, once the city wall is lost, the victory or defeat is basically a foregone conclusion.
However, Hanchang Pass is known as the gateway to Cangzhou's three natural hazards, which naturally has a certain truth.
If it can be broken so easily, it is impossible for the Meng clan to occupy Cangzhou to stand tall and be majestic for hundreds of years.
Jiang Pengji decisively ordered, "Zishi, order the soldiers of the city wall to retreat!"
If you continue to consume, your own losses will become greater and greater, and it is just a meaningless sacrifice, and it is really not worth it.
Feng Zhen's complexion changed drastically, and the slightest struggle seemed to flash in his eyes.
But after a moment, his eyes turned firm, "Obey the order!"
"Don't-" Cheng Jing stopped Feng Zhen and gritted his teeth, "If we withdraw our troops at this time, our momentum will drop greatly, and we will be even more powerless to break through at that time." ”
"As you can see, even though we occupy the walls, we still haven't shaken the enemy's defenses. Knowing that it is useless to climb the wall, if you go up, you will die, why should I let my soldiers climb the wall to die?" Jiang Pengji said coldly to Cheng Jing, "This cold pass, I broke it today!"
Jiang Pengji's personality is extremely decisive, once she makes up her mind, there is no room for turnaround, and the four words indecisive are insulated from her.
"In the vanguard, I am the commander-in-chief. ”
Jiang Pengji's attitude is resolute and does not allow others to resist.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and orders are delayed, even if it is only a minute and a second, and there will still be innocent soldiers who will pay for it.
Jiang Pengji put on her identity, Cheng Jing could only give up, and chose to obey with a heavy heart.
Even though Jiang Pengji is not Cheng Jing's lord, as the other party said, Jiang Pengji is the commander of the vanguard army.
On the battlefield, the commander-in-chief orders above all else!
Jiang Pengji ordered to abandon the attack, and the soldiers who had already climbed the wall could only fight and retreat, giving up the results that were hard to grab.
After several years of training, Jiang Pengji's soldiers can absolutely prohibit orders, and the momentum does not have much impact.
In comparison, the performance of the soldiers sent by Huang Song was slightly inferior, and the original high-pitched momentum was much lower, and the retreat was not decisive.
Jiang Pengji's side chose to retreat, and the enemy troops who were defending Hanchang Pass were in tears of joy, and the sound of chanting made them feel imposing.
Listening to the sound of a tsunami on the city wall, Jiang Pengji gritted her back molars and asked Feng Zhen.
"Is the catapult framed?"
Toyojin replied, "It's already set up." ”
Catapults are large in size, have obvious targets, and are difficult to move, and are generally rarely used except in siege battles and when two armies face each other head-on.
But Jiang Pengji, as a science and technology expert, how could she not think of a way to solve this problem?
The catapult that appeared at the beginning of World War I in Cheng'an County has now been improved for several generations and can basically adapt to various terrain wars.
On top of that, catapults can be disassembled and transported, and they are not complicated to build.
Although the terrain of Hanchang Pass is narrow and steep, as long as it is a relatively flat place, catapults can be built and put into use.
Since you can't climb the wall to win the level, then simply dismantle this level!
When Jiang Pengji sent people to attack the city, he told the rear to build a catapult, and now it has been set up in place.
"When you get out of the explosives, you will blow them up wherever they hit, and all of them will be razed to the ground!"
Jiang Pengji gritted her teeth secretly, if it weren't for the chaos of the battlefield, she really wanted to tear down the two heavy bronze doors of Hanchang Pass with a double axe.
Cheng Jing also noticed the situation in the rear, and his face sank.
The terrain of Hanchang Pass is steep, and heavy objects like catapults can't be transported at all-
Thinking of this, he thought of the baggage cart carried at the rear of the pioneer camp, could it be that the things contained in the baggage cart were nothing else but parts of the catapult? With such ingenious design and manufacturing, could it be that there were elite disciples of the Mo family under Liu Xi's tent to help?
Cheng Jing guessed half right.
Jiang Pengji does have disciples of the Mo family here, but Zhang Ping is better at people's livelihood equipment, and Shao Guang focuses on water conservancy.
For the improvement of siege equipment, most of the time Jiang Pengji provided ideas, and Zhang Ping led the craftsmen to try to improve them one by one.
"Rocket to me—"
Jiang Pengji asked her to fetch her own heavy bow, which was extremely heavy, from the body to the string, all made by craftsmen with special materials. According to their calculations, in order to pull the bow apart completely, the person who drew the bow must be at least an eight-foot strong man with the power of four stones.
Jiang Pengji's arm length is insufficient, but her height is enough.
As for the power of four stones to open the bow?
Naturally, it is enough.
I saw her point to the ground with one foot, one foot against the bow, and her right hand pulled the string, igniting the special arrow.
Charged with strength, the heavy giant bow opened into a full moon under the attraction of the huge force.
Buzz –
A heavy hum sounded, and the huge arrow departed from the string and flew towards the wall of Hanchang Pass.
The arrows made of fine iron slammed into the gatehouse of the city wall, and the cobweb-like cracks spread in all directions, and the door beams were unexpectedly frightened.
"Hit that place - smash me!"
Jiang Pengji has extremely strong night vision, and she can clearly see the situation on the wall of Hanchangguan, but others can't.
None of them could do it, let alone the catapult gunners in the rear of the army.
Cheng Jing watched the whole process, his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his neatly trimmed and rounded nails left crescent marks in the palms of his hands.
Jiang Pengji threw the giant bow to the orderly soldiers on the side, and the anger that had not yet dissipated lingered around her body. The guards on the city wall didn't have time to be happy, and one after another boulders fell from the sky, smashing on the city gatehouse, the battlements, and the mountains on both sides of the Hanchang Pass—
The smile on the faces of the guards of Hanchang Pass had not yet subsided, and a boulder fell from the sky to catch them off guard.
This—this is completely different from the script they expected!
Jiang Pengji looked at the situation on the city wall, her depressed mood finally improved, and the remaining anger turned calm.
