Chapter 099: Defeat
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The closed chamber, because of the rapid ignition of gunpowder, burst out with unimaginable power, which in turn led to the special projectiles being shot out angrily!
The squad to which each cannon belonged curled up at the moment the fire twist was ignited, with special cork plugs stuffed into their ears to mitigate the serious damage to their ears caused by the sudden explosion.
Sixteen general cannons, according to the sequence of four guns, the cannons were all fixed with their own markings, and they fired at the city wall almost simultaneously.
"Bang ......"
"Bang bang!!"
Projectiles smashed into the city walls in a rage.
For Zu Dale and them, it was completely unnecessary to fight against this group of gathered rogues, and they would engage in the so-called siege of the city on all sides and divide the main and secondary attacks as they did with Jiannu.
As far as the objective conditions are concerned, most of the rogues guarding the city in front of them will gather together because they can't eat enough.
Before that, they were just a bunch of farmers who didn't know anything!
It's okay to let them carry a hoe and farm the land, but let them pay attention to military regulations and military discipline, and use super high discipline to confront the battle-hardened army.
This is clearly unrealistic.
If you insist on comparing them with the battle-hardened Jiannu, it is completely insulting the word opponent.
According to the battlefield intelligence collected by the General Staff Department, and then carried out a war deduction, on the rogue army they encountered in front of them, let them flee into the wilderness, and carry out the encirclement and suppression of the army, so that it is easier for the army to be killed or captured!
If they insist on attacking the city by besieging the city, or let the rogues defend the city and prevent them from seeing any hope of survival, then they will sacrifice their lives to fight back!
At that time, irreversible casualties will be caused!
And that's something that no one wants to see.
On the contrary, in the process of pursuit, you can put in the new recruits of the local garrison at any time, so that they can actively participate in this battle with an advantage, so as to ensure that they can make such an intuitive transformation from recruits, to veterans, to soldiers.
This is how the effect of military training is truly manifested.
Projectiles smashed angrily on the city wall, and some unlucky ghosts were concentrated by the splashing rubble, which pierced the chest, body, head, and arms at that time......
Such a bloody scene made some rogue soldiers stupefied at that moment!
"Nope! Don't kill me......"
"Ah, my arm ......"
"Holy God! You ......"
"Don't run, don't scatter! Give Lao Tzu back to his place! ”
The entire city wall can be said to be a mess, and those rogues, in order not to get hurt again, or not to be affected, they run away regardless of it.
On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers of the old battalion to kill the deserters, so as to deter the fleeing rogue soldiers, and on the other hand, he observed the Ming army under the city to prevent them from taking other unexpected measures.
But apparently Zu Dale, who was equipped with telescopes, after observing the chaos on the city wall, he would never let go of such an opportunity.
"Preparing for cluster rocket ......"
"Throwing Explosive Oil!!"
"Crossbowmen on alert!"
Faced with such a situation, Zu Dale calmly issued military orders, for him, if he could solve the battle in one fell swoop, it would be a suitable thing, and he was not prepared to delay it for too long.
Before the battle really broke out, it was already showing a one-sided trend, which is not to blame Wang for his own inability, mainly because Zu Dale is too strong.
Zhao Zongwu was able to lead such an army of more than 100,000 people, and in just seven years, he completely defeated Jiannu in the Liaodong region, and achieved a huge advantage, which also reflected from the side what kind of advantages the army under Zhao Zongwu had in terms of combat effectiveness.
Showing scale, institutionalization, and super oppressive force, such an army that can skillfully use firearms alone has already reflected its energy.
As a descendant, Zhao Zongwu knows very well in his heart what kind of changes the evolution and development of firearms will bring to the battlefield, especially the process of moving from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons, what kind of huge turbulent impact will it bring!
"The king is for his own use! I want to see if your head is hard!! Zu Dale's eyes flashed with a bit of playfulness, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly: "With this combat mode, Lao Tzu killed at least more than 1,000 Jiannu Zhentar, just you ruffians, Lao Tzu cleaned you up first!" ”
As he spoke, the cluster rocket that was ignited by the twist, under the action of the gunpowder at the tail end, was pre-tracked by the fixed gun carriage of the structure, and then shot towards the high altitude of the city, and the small steel balls wrapped in it finally burst out in all directions under the action of huge potential energy when the cluster rocket exploded in the air!!
"Bang ......"
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
Because of the small size of cluster rockets, they can ignite on a large scale and then burst into the air of the enemy, and then burst out of the steel balls, which is enough for the unsuspecting enemy to drink a pot.
The steel balls, under the action of huge potential energy, easily penetrated the leather armor worn by the Liukou, not to mention, in the Liukou group, more of them were wearing tattered clothes, and the damage caused by this was absolutely huge.
The damage caused by the more than 100 cluster rockets fired in this round alone caused nearly 1,000 rogue gangsters in the city to directly or indirectly lose their combat effectiveness, and more than half of them directly fell to the city head forever.
"Hex! The Ming army will be magician......"
"Run......"
For things that they can't understand in their cognition, many people like to use witchcraft to summarize, especially for such a group of rogues who can't read a few big characters, in the face of this situation, they have no other better chance than to escape.
Wang Ziyong clenched the steel knife in his hand, his knife was dripping with crimson blood, his brows were even more furrowed, and his tone was unwilling: "Withdraw!" Gather the soldiers of the old battalion and gather at the west gate, we can't stay in this city of Pizhou anymore! ”
Although Wang Ziyong was very unconvinced, but in the current situation, he had no way to lead his soldiers to stabilize the battle situation, not to mention the waves of unheard-of firearms sacrificed by the Ming army under the city.
This has not yet been a battle, and this kind of damage has been caused, if it is said that if it collides together, what kind of irreversible disadvantage will burst out?
For the first time.
In Wang's heart, there was a deep sense of powerlessness......
But in the face of such a cruel reality, what can he do?
There is no other way but to escape!
