The Ming army finally came, Altan Khan stood on the tower like a pile of stones, looking at the Ming army in the distance, his mood was extremely complicated.

He, without a telescope, can also see the outline of the Ming army from such a distance, but just from the outline, the Ming army here is very scary.

The periphery, neatly like a city wall, doesn't need to ask, it must be a chariot.

There are more and more chariots of the Ming army, and there are so many that it makes people's scalps tingle.

Inside, erected like a wood, no need to ask, it must be artillery.

There are more and more artillery pieces of the Ming army, and the number is almost desperate!

Fortunately, the Ming army assembled outside Songshan Fort at this time was less than 100,000, which the experienced Altan Khan could see at a glance.

At this point, the Ming army wanted to take Songshan Fort, which was garrisoned by 50,000 foot soldiers?

What's more, the 50,000 elite horsemen under his command are still watching from the sidelines, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, and the Ming army dares to move?

The question of whether he dares to move or not, Yang Cong has never considered it at all, what kind of fortress does Tartar play with him, that is, looking for death!

He was now standing in the middle of the formation, carefully observing the Songshan Fort in front of him with a telescope.

To be honest, the fortress was a bit of a surprise to him.

However, what surprised him was not the number of defenders in the fortress, but the rudimentary level of the fortress.

This Songshan Fort is simply piled up with rocks, and it looks no different from a rocky mountain on the surface, especially the castle tower, and I don't know how it was piled up.

Yang Cong searched the city gate tower and finally found Altan Khan in the pile of rubble.

Although he had never seen Altan Khan, he had seen his portrait, this person, really had the posture of a hero, his cheeks were thin and resolute, his eyes were firm and deep, and his whole body showed a sharp spirit, and he was not a simple person at first glance.

Yang Cong couldn't help but think in his heart, it would be good to have a sniper rifle at this time, with a shot from Biu, Altan Khan would be gone, and the Tartars would definitely be a mess of porridge.

It's a pity that there are not such advanced things at this time, and if you want to clean up the tartars, you have to come step by step.

How to attack this Songshan Fort?

He looked at the dense human heads on the city wall, and then at the messy arrow stacks, pursed his lips, turned his head and said, "Shisuke, there are a lot of Tartars on the city wall, why don't we bombard them with artillery first?" ”

Yu Dayou was also holding a telescope at this time to observe the situation of Songshan Fort, the enemy adopted a strategy of intensive defense, and it was obviously unrealistic to attack the city directly, because the besieging side was already at a disadvantage in the terrain, and if you wanted to rush to the city wall, you had to pay a lot of casualties, let alone fight with people after going up.

Therefore, the besieging side will generally find a way to take long-range suppression, and the defender who can suppress the city cannot raise its head, and the loss of the siege can be minimized.

Yu Dayou nodded slowly and said: "The number of Tartars on the city wall is indeed a bit outrageous, and there will definitely be heavy casualties in the direct siege of the city, so it's better to try it with artillery first." ”

What you said is too unlevel!

You should say, "Your Excellency is wise, and your Excellency is so good at this!"

Tang Kekuan on the side couldn't help but look helpless, Yu Dayou's mouth is too easy to offend people.

Fortunately, Yang Cong didn't care at all, he always thought that he was playing soy sauce, and if he was fighting, let Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan come.

He nodded directly and said: "Okay, let's try it with artillery first, you don't have to worry about me, just fight as much as you want, I'll just take a look." ”

When Yu Dayou heard this, he waved his hand directly: "Changsheng, you command the chariots to deploy the formation left and right to prevent the Tatar cavalry from raiding, all the artillery wagons are ready, and after the chariot formations are completed, immediately step forward, line up in three rows one mile outside Songshan Fort, and bombard five rounds intensively." ”

When Tang Kekuan heard this, he was not verbose, and directly surrendered his hand to obey the order, and then ordered the chariots to go, and the artillery wagons in the large array also began to assemble in front of the formation, preparing to go forward to bombard the city wall.

The movement of the Ming army, Altan Khan on the "city tower" naturally saw it clearly, but he had nothing to do, people swung the chariot to both sides, and the cavalry rushed up to find death, he could only watch the Ming army's artillery cart come forward, ready to eat the cannonballs.

Fortunately, he has already prepared a killer weapon, even if there is more artillery of the Ming army, it is useless!

Over there, the artillery of the Ming army had just been lined up a mile outside the fort, and here, the foot guards of the city raised the "giant shield" placed under their feet and held it in front of them.

This guy, it was as if a row of forests had suddenly appeared on the city wall, and all the wooden pillars and tartars that were thick as thighs were gone, and they all hid behind the wooden pillars.

Seeing this, Yu Dayou couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, it is natural that the Tartars are prepared, this is not surprising, no matter how the Tartars are prepared, it is always right to bombard it five rounds first and see the effect, anyway, they are not short of shells.

Soon, there was a rumbling cannon roar in front of the battle, and that guy, ten thousand cannons fired in unison, it was really shocking, and the whole world seemed to be stirred.

It's a pity that the Tartars on the city wall were not sensationalized, and after five rounds of artillery bombardment, the "giant shield" array of the Tartars was already standing on the city wall, and there was no damage at all.

Altan Khan also knew that the artillery of the Ming army could only bombard five rounds in a row, and after five rounds, he had to prepare for a long time, and when the cannon stopped, he emerged from behind the giant shield and eagerly swept towards the city wall, and when he saw that the foot guards of the city were unscathed, he couldn't help but show a burst of ecstasy.

Hahaha, now it's okay, the artillery of the Ming army is completely scrapped, look at how they attack the city!

Yu Dayou raised the telescope and swept it towards the city wall, his brows furrowed.

This tartar is not simple, it actually knows how to fire and bombard, what to do?

Yang Cong was dumbfounded at this moment, in his opinion, muskets and artillery were simply invincible at this time, and cold weapons were a fart in front of muskets and artillery.

This shield array, even the artillery can't hit, and the musket naturally doesn't need to try, what should I do?

Yu Dayou frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "Mingjin, collect the troops." ”

"Woo woo woo woo", a melodious voice sounded, and the artillery and chariots in front of the formation suddenly retreated like a tide.

Is there any mistake?

That's it!

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Zhifu, let's stop fighting?" ”

Yu Dayou nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, the Tartars have already prepared a huge shield against muskets and artillery, so we don't need to test it anymore." ”

Don't you have to be tempted, just quit the army?

This Songshan Fort must be taken!

Yang Cong couldn't help but remind: "This Songshan Fort is the only way for us to build the fortress and the railway to Ganzhou Town, and it won't work if we don't take it." ”

Yu Dayou still nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general just wants to go back and prepare something, and tomorrow, the last general will definitely take this Songshan Fort." ”

Can you take Matsuyama Fort tomorrow?

Impossible!

Yang Cong looked at the chariots and artillery carts that had receded like a tide, and then at Songshan Fort, his face full of confusion.

Yu Dayou: What kind of magic weapon do you want to prepare to defeat the enemy?
