"He Cheng, you immediately go to the 2nd Army Corps and the 4th Army Corps, and bring all the general artillery under their command to Lao Tzu!" Mao Wenlong stared at the war sand table in front of him, his expression showed excitement, "Since Grandpa Guo believes in us so much this time, then let's play a big game for the thieves!" ”

When He Cheng heard what Mao Wenlong said, his expression was a little hesitant, "Mao Shuai, the general artillery under the jurisdiction of this army is a large number, not to mention the 2nd army and the 4th army corps, they also have their own stubborn tasks, which suddenly pulls all the general artillery under their command, I am afraid ......"

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, when you see Zu Dabi and Liu Xingzuo, you will say that I, Mao Wenlong, use his thin noodles to borrow the general's cannon from the two of you, if it is because of my Mao Wenlong's borrowing, which will eventually lead to the failure of the siege, then I Mao Wenlong will be willing to accept any disposition, and if the siege is finally successful, this time to recover Xi'an City, there is one-third of their own credit!" ”

Mao Wenlong has already talked about this, so He Cheng must know what to say, and besides, after Zu Dabi and Liu Xingzuo heard this, they all knew how to deal with it in their hearts.

Since in the previous military discussion, Zhao Zongwu had clearly let Mao Wenlong's department serve as the first hand of the main attack, then they must unconditionally cooperate with Mao Wenlong.

Unlike other Ming armies, in the Chinese army and navy, there is no so-called partisan division, mountainism, even if there are many generals have blood ties, but this is not the whole of the army.

Although it is said that the generals in the Chinese army and navy come from all directions, they have been fighting side by side for no more than seven years.

But because this army was created by Zhao Zongwu from the very beginning, and in the process, Zhao Zongwu constantly transmitted his spiritual thoughts.

In addition, there are follow-up lectures on martial arts and war colleges to continuously export grassroots generals, which also makes the Chinese army and navy extremely united!

In the Chinese army and navy, small contradictions are bound to exist.

After all, they are all mortals in the flesh, how can they not burst into contradictions?

But once it comes to core interests, especially who dares to bully his robe, it can be regarded as a big stab!

Mao Wenlong looked around at the generals with a serious expression, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Yang Yingqian! You immediately led Geng Zhongming, Xu Yanqi, Wu Wenjie, Zu Zepu, and Liu Xingliang to the front line of Xi'an City in person.

The actual exploration of the city wall involved in our department, the position suitable for artillery bombardment, repeated calculations, and at the same time, the staff of the corps were also gathered to carry out the corresponding attack and retreat plan.

This time the matter is very important, no matter what kind of feats you have made before, but this time, who the hell dares to drop the chain for Ben Shuai, then don't blame Ben Shuai for being ruthless!

You can't retreat from what you should be asked to do, and you can't do more than what you are not allowed to do!! ”

Feeling like never before.

For the first time, I saw Mao Wenlong so serious, and for the first time, I heard Mao Wenlong call his name.

This also let all the generals present know in their hearts that the next battle will inevitably be a hard battle!

Time passed bit by bit, and the military orders ordered by Mao Wenlong were implemented one by one, and the general's artillery borrowed from the 2nd Army Corps and the 4th Army Corps were all fixed by Yang Yingqian, the corps' fellow commander, according to the predetermined position, and at the same time, a 36-battalion general artillery group was also formed.

Mao Wenlong's corps, the convergence of the new troops, a total of more than 40,000 people, under the leadership of the guerrillas of various departments, the momentum in the west of Xi'an City set up a battle.

Mao Wenlong sat on the war horse, wearing armor, staring at the city wall in front of him with a stern expression, looking at the crowd standing on the city, and said coldly: "Yang Yingqian! From now on, the thirty-six artillery groups of the generals under your jurisdiction are all under your control, and everything is fired according to the banner issued by the commander. ”

Yang Yingqian bowed and said, "Get the order!" ”

Since Mao Wenlong was in charge of the first battle, he has not been relaxed for a moment, and from that moment on, he no longer called the generals by their positions, but called the generals by their names, which also made the generals highly concentrated in their hearts, because they have been together for so long, they know better than anyone else in their hearts that once their own coach is like this, it must be unprecedented solemnity, and treat this battle solemnly.

"Order, Geng Zhongming......"

"Herald!"

"Wu Wenjie ......"

With the issuance of Mao Wenlong's military orders one by one, the officers and men of the 3rd Army Corps, under the command of generals at all levels, began to surge.

The changes in Mao Wenlong's troops and horses made the rogue soldiers stationed in Xi'an City shocked, especially the three rogue leaders who were in charge of Xicheng's city defense, and their hearts were shocked.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom!"

The projectiles that have been in place for a long time are shot according to the markers that have been measured in advance, which makes the rogues stationed in Xi'an City, one by one, hug their heads to dodge, coupled with the feather arrows fired angrily from the rear, not only harassing the rogue groups in the city, but also Mao Wenlong's troops became extremely rapid as soon as they came up.

On the other side, the commander-in-chief's palace is stationed.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the intelligence from the front, Mao Shuai launched an indiscriminate artillery attack on the west city of Xi'an, and at the same time, the new troops under his jurisdiction were dispatched by Mao Shuai to the second echelon of the attack, and they followed the soldiers and horses of their respective legions to participate in the siege!" Chen Qiyu rushed over in a hurry, and after polishing the first-hand information through his brain, he reported to Zhao Zongwu.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Mao Shuai fought well in this battle, if my father's guess is good, I am afraid that today's battle is all made around the linkage reaction of the Liukou in Xi'an City, Mao Shuai is ready to mobilize and garrison the reaction ability of the Liukou in Xi'an City." ”

Although Zhao Zongwu didn't know Mao Wenlong's specific battle plan, through a series of measures made by his subordinates, he also guessed his intentions somewhat, fearing that in the next few days, this battle would become more and more intense, and even indirectly mobilize the frequency of siege by other legions.

Mao Wenlong wanted to use such a step-by-step method to gradually let the rogues stationed in Xi'an City actively fall into the trap he designed, and constantly use the advantage of firearms to consume the reliable soldiers and horses under his command.

Hong Chengchou said with a straight expression: "For Wang Jiayin and them, I am afraid that life will not be so easy in the next period of time." If they can't break through Mao Shuai's style of play as soon as possible, even if they have a lot of rogues under their command, they can't withstand such consumption. ”

Zhao Zongwu smiled slightly: "Then it depends on whether he Wang Jiayin has the ability, if the prince did not speculate, Mao Shuai and their attack was not really an attack, but wanted to take this opportunity to shorten the offensive gap between themselves and Xi'an City, so as to lay the foundation for the subsequent reduction of casualties." ”

Zhao Zongwu's guess was not wrong, according to the deployment of Mao Wenlong's initial battle, he did not put hand-to-hand combat in the first place at all, but regarded long-distance firearms attack as the first element.

To put it simply, it is to use a high standard of firepower superiority to constantly consume the rogues stationed in Xi'an City, and at the same time constantly hit their morale.

In this way, even if they occupy the urban defense advantage of Xi'an City, they still can't resist the huge advantage that Mao Wenlong and them have.

Mao Wenlong said indifferently: "He Cheng! You must connect the various departments to ensure that the earth mountains arranged by our army in various parts of Xicheng are in place, this Xi'an city is too high, if you simply rely on human life to fill, it is extremely unfavorable for our army, those rogues are some cannon fodder, and the commander cannot use the elite of our army to fight his life.

In this case, then we must establish the corresponding Tushan platform, and there is no need to engage in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with them, as long as there are enough crossbowmen and firearms teams to threaten the upper reaches of the city immediately, and at the same time, when the battle in Xicheng is scorching, let the grandfather of the country, Liu Shuai, and Zu Shuai also build the corresponding Tushan platform in accordance with the battle strategy we set. ”

After hearing this, He Cheng said, "Obey the order!" ”

The soldiers of the 3rd Legion have rarely seen their own commander so serious, even if they are fighting against Jiannu and fighting with the natives of the peninsula, except for a very small amount of time, their own coach will be like this, and it is worth mentioning that every time Mao Wenlong is so serious, it means that there is a big breakthrough, a big attack and suppression, and the unlucky ones are those who are fighting against the enemy!

Projectiles shot out angrily, cans of fierce fire oil bombs shot out, feathered arrows gathered into a rain of arrows, shooting towards the towering city walls, and those rockets with Mars ignited the fire oil bombs for the first time, although the rogues already knew about this powerful and unquenchable flame, but when they really let them deal with it, there was no measure.

That's the disparity that knowledge brings!

When Wang Jiayin learned that there were thousands of Liukou in Xicheng, it was because of the inextinguishable heavenly fire that burned to death, even if it was poured with water, it made the flames stronger and stronger, which also made Wang Jiayin and their hearts very afraid.

When faced with things that cannot be explained clearly by common sense, people will habitually summarize them to demons and monsters.

There was worry in his expression: "Great Chief, what is going on, could it be said that the Ming army has really received the affection of the heavens?" Did you summon Shura from hell? ”

After hearing this, Wang Jiayin frowned slightly and reprimanded: "What are you talking about, if he Zhao Zongwu really has a heavenly attachment, he sent them out as early as when he was in northern Shaanxi, how could he hide for so long, and if they really have a heavenly attachment, I am afraid that this Xi'an city would have been captured by him Zhao Zongwu!" Why did he send so many troops to besiege the city of Xi'an? ”

Although Wang Jiayin said so much, he was still afraid in his heart.

Mao Wenlong's attack, because the first time was mainly to test the true level of the rogue, and also in order to be able to build the Tushan platform he wanted, so it did not let his own soldiers suffer too much loss, but it was the rogue stationed in Xicheng, because of this half-day attack, more than 5,000 rogues were either dead or severely disabled!

This is a huge blow to the morale of the rogues!

“…… Herald! ordered Geng Zhongming and Wu Wenjie to withdraw, and ordered Liu Xingliang's troops to press the formation in the rear. ”

"Let the soldiers of the newly formed army source pick up the arrows, rolling logs, and stones that our army and rogues shoot as much as possible, and ......"

The battle was like this, after more than half a day, Mao Wenlong asked the trumpeter Ming Jin to collect his troops, and at the same time asked the heralds around him to give retreat orders to the attacking armies.

When the thirty-six earth mountain platforms were all stationed with corresponding soldiers and horses, and when all the soldiers of the attack retreated to the predetermined area, a cruel battle was declared over.

Except for the arrows accidentally shot by the rogues who were holding the city, Mao Wenlong's department was shot and killed several new soldiers and more than ten soldiers were seriously injured and lightly injured, but the rest did not cause any casualties.

Looking at the excited generals under his command, Mao Wenlong's expression was indifferent, but his tone was very excited: "Okay! In the next few days, it will be carried out according to the scheduled deployment, remember, we must not be overly greedy for military achievements, for our army, we can recover Xi'an City at the smallest cost, even if we lose more projectiles and fierce fire bombs in this battle, and waste a little more time, we can't fill it with the lives of our subordinates! ”

With such war guidance, in the next seven days, Mao Wenlong continued to realize his planned deployment, and in the process, he built corresponding Tushan platforms for the north and south cities, but only for the east city, he did not establish the corresponding Tushan platform, because Zhao Zongwu did not want Wang Jiayin and them to die in Xi'an City, and he also needed Wang Jiayin and them to lead the Liukou to sweep Shanxi.

Relying on strong firepower to suppress, the rogues stationed in Xi'an City lost more than 30,000 soldiers!

During this period, Wang Jiayin and the others were suppressed and beaten so aggrieved that several times, Wang Jiayin and they couldn't stand such a thing, so they took the initiative to go out of the city and want to sabotage.

But each time they were repelled by the corresponding soldiers and horses, and even on two occasions they almost lost the city gate, which made them lose more than 30,000 soldiers in just seven days.

As a result, many of the rogues stationed in Xi'an City no longer have the momentum to fight again.

Of course, in order to realize the strategic deployment that Mao Wenlong achieved during this period, Zhao Zongwu also lost too much, and those projectiles alone made him consume more than 200,000 taels of silver.

It doesn't seem like a big thing, but in fact, its cost is not low!

The foundation of the Huaxia Army and Navy being able to ensure super combat effectiveness lies in Zhao Zongwu's investment regardless of the cost; if there is no such investment, if we want to reach the current level, we still need a long way to go.

There is no rush for anything!

Of course, with Mao Wenlong's moves, the time has come to recover Xi'an City!
