Chapter 1062: Manifestation

Liu Heyang actually regretted it, after he led the army to attack the city gate, he happened to see Fu San leading the Fu family generals, protecting the unconscious Fu Zhaoxin, fighting and walking, and retreating to the barricades step by step.

Fu Zhaoxin has always been generous to the people around him, and there are many loyal people among his relatives and generals.

The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the generals of the Fu family used their flesh and blood to block Liu Heyang in front of the barricade.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Li Jiajun is amazingly strong, no matter how wide the streets in the city are, they are limited after all, and if they can't get around, they can't outflank the attack.

If you can't outflank the attack, you can only cut down the enemy in front of you with one knife and one shot, and there is no element of luck.

When Liu Heyang commanded him, he killed hundreds of Fu generals who were not afraid of death, and it seemed that the obstacles had been cleared, but in fact, valuable time was lost.

At this moment, Fu Zhaoxin had been rescued by Fu San into the tall and thick barricade, and Liu Heyang, who was only one step behind, was isolated from the fortress, which was really suffocating.

Fools know that if the city gate is breached, Bozhou will definitely not be able to hold it, and the defeat of the imperial forbidden army is only a matter of time.

However, there are more than 80,000 defeated troops in Bozhou City, and there are only the north gate and the west gate, and it is impossible to let go of so many people in a short period of time!

With the large-scale invasion of the Li family's army into the city, a large number of defeated troops were squeezed into various barricades, and they had no way to escape, so they had to start a battle of trapped beasts.

In this way, it caused a great hindrance to the advance of the siege troops of the Li family's army, and Liu Heyang was forced to stop his troops outside the barricades.

In the street battle, every time the Li Jiajun took a step forward, the soldiers had to pay a lot of sacrifices and suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, the closer they got to the barricades, the more casualties among the fighters grew.

When the order to stop the attack came, Liu Heyang thought that Li Zhongyi had arrived in person, and he trotted all the way over to greet him.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi did not come, but Chu Xiong arrived. Liu He became angry and shouted: "Chu Xiong, you are so bold, you dare to fake the master's military orders? ”

Chu Xiong didn't bother to talk nonsense with Liu Heyang, and directly showed the waist card with the magic power of "I am here", and after Liu Heyang checked the authenticity, he suddenly didn't dare to squeak.

"Liu Duzhi, you are in the way, please let go." Chu Xiong did not accuse Liu Heyang of his greed and recklessness to his face, and he was not qualified to do so.

However, the profundity of the Chinese language lies in the fact that seemingly ordinary words are spoken in different tones or demeanors, and kindness or ridicule are completely different.

Liu Heyang's face suddenly turned red, and he silently retreated to the side of the road, making way for the artillery team behind Chu Xiong. Nima, no one blames him, just blame him for stealing the credit,

The overt or dark rules in the Li family's army have never been bullshit logic that judges heroes by victory or defeat, and defeating the battle is an absolutely shameful act.

It is clearly written in the ordinance that no one can be exempted from the victory of the promotion of the official and the promotion of the knight, and the defeat of the military law.

The answer is actually very simple, Li Zhongyi raised the army with heavy rewards, which not only condensed the morale and morale of the army, but also created great financial pressure on himself.

Today's Li Jiajun, as long as more than 20,000 soldiers are killed in battle, the finances of the Pinglu system will collapse immediately, and they can't even afford to pay pensions.

Attacking a frustrated general is not worthy of respect! Generals who have lost battles are severely punished by military law, and they are not worthy of sympathy!

The general trend of the world is mighty, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die!

The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest in the theory of evolution, this is the objective law of human survival and development!

Instead of being held accountable for the defeat, being praised as a combat hero is an anti-intellectual act that violates objective laws.

After Li Yongtang's field measurements, the main street in the city before the barricade could only accommodate five six-pounder guns at most, but that would leave the gunners with no room to turn around, let alone fire the aiming charge.

Under the command of Li Yongtang, dozens of 6-pounder guns brought into the city were divided into three parts. Some of them were carried up the southern wall that had already been captured, to assist the attacking troops, and strive to use shotguns to drive the defeated army of the imperial court that was crowded with a mass down the city wall as soon as possible, and then echo the direction of the main attack from the side.

Two hundred meters from the front of the barricade, ten 6-pounder guns were lined up in turn, one for each two, for a total of five rows.

The sappers belonging to the artillery battalion, under the command of their respective commanders, are sweating and tearing down the walls of the houses on both sides of the street.

There is no way, the main street is too narrow, relying on a row of two 6-pounder guns, the density of fire fired is simply not up to the requirements of breaking the base.

Li Yongtang adopted a workaround method according to local conditions, as long as the courtyard wall of the house was demolished, and after the artillery in front of it was fired, it could be dragged into the house on the side of the main street to reload the ammunition.

The benefits of doing this are extremely obvious, although it delays a little time, but it also achieves the bombardment effect of the five-stage strike.

Moreover, the narrowness of the streets, which of course limited the lateral deployment of the artillery positions, also made the aiming and firing of the artillery easier and more accurate than in the field.

God is fair, and he will definitely let you have gains and losses, depending on how you overcome difficulties and give full play to your strengths!

About a quarter of an hour later, the preparations of the artillerymen were ready, and Li Yongtang gave an unequivocal order: "Two cannons in a group, firing at an interval of thirty breaths, after the cannon is fired, immediately drag the artillery into the side of the house, charge and load, do you hear clearly?" ”

"......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

When the 6-pounder cannon roared again, the battle of the barricades could actually be declared victorious!

The thickness of the barricades, no matter how you put it, could not be thicker than the rammed earth and blue brick walls, at best, one-tenth of the thickness of the city walls.

The 6-pounder gun, unless it was a concentrated shot at a certain point, it would be difficult to blast through the wall that was more than ten feet thick.

However, a 5-pound cannon with a 6-pound iron projectile could collapse the barricades at close range, which was more than enough.

It's just a round of rapid fire, and the gate of the barricade has already been blown down!

Chu Xiong stared at Liu Heyang, who was a little stunned, Liu Heyang suddenly woke up, since the artillery brothers have opened the main channel of the attack, if the infantry brothers don't rush up to seize the position, do they have to stay where they are and wait for the meal?

"Blow the trumpet, charge!" Liu Heyang pulled out his sword and rushed out as soon as possible, and the relatives around him were worried that the master would lose, so they hurriedly followed.

The "Didi Da Da ......" offensive was once frustrated, and the soldiers of the infantry who were holding their sullen breath quickly overflowed the barricades like a tide and slaughtered to the depths of the city.
