Chapter 466: Siege
Although Liu Wei didn't know how powerful this new type of artillery was called a mortar, seeing that Liu Wei was so cautious, and it was specially ordered by the emperor, it was definitely not that simple. For so many years, Liu Wei knows a lot about the Armed Forces Division and Zhu Yijun.
"When can I try it?" Liu Wei said excitedly with an expression on his face, he is looking forward to it now.
Liu Wei didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "It's not early now, why don't you start early tomorrow?" ”
"Okay, then tomorrow morning!" Liu Wei hurriedly smiled and said, Liu Wei is in a hurry now, he is really afraid that Liu Wei will say take a break or something, and now Liu Wei's attitude makes Liu Wei very satisfied, very satisfied. After sending Liu Wei away, Liu Wei began to dispatch men and horses to prepare to attack Loushan Pass tomorrow.
In history, Liu Wei attacked Loushan Pass, he could only sigh with admiration, until May of the second year, Liu Wei took advantage of the laxity of the defenders of Loushan Pass, careless, and let people climb the cliff to attack Loushan Pass, which took down Loushan Pass. In this life, Liu Wei will definitely not be able to accept such a result, and if so, Liu Wei will not be able to wait for the New Year.
Not to mention other people, Zhu Yijun can't stand it, do you still want to beat Yang Yinglong for three years and five years? What about the rest of the place?
Now Zhu Yijun's army is taking Jiaozhi in the south, and the next step is to take Mangyingli directly and destroy the Donghu Dynasty, Zhu Yijun is still thinking about two ways to march, you are delayed here, isn't it delaying the entire strategic layout, this is absolutely impossible, and Liu Wei does not dare to delay for too long.
Early the next morning, Yang Chaodong on Loushan Pass found that the Ming army had moved, and he couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the Ming army under the city.
Seeing that the Ming army actually took out the cloud ladder, Yang Chaodong was excited in his heart, and it was really good to use the cloud ladder to attack Loushan Pass.
Liu Wei did this very simply, that is, in order to attract the guards on Loushan Pass, in Liu Wei's words, you have to attract people to the city tower for me, so Liu Wei came up with such a method. That is to take out the cloud ladder and walk around, as for using the cloud ladder to attack the city, Liu Wei didn't think about it at all.
A pass like Loushan Pass, he is not a four-sided city wall, you can attack on either side, the defensive pressure is high, and you need to divide the troops, you can rely on the large number of people and not afraid of the dead to attack.
There is only one city wall at a pass like Loushan Pass, and if you want to fight it, you can only fight on one side, and if people send people to guard it, you can only fight to the death. The battle damage of the defense of the city is too large, and the pair is not suitable, in the words of the Royal Lecture Martial Arts, this is called the tactic of adding oil, and the casualties are too large, and it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Glancing at Liu Wei, Liu Wei hesitated and said, "Lord Liu, is this okay?" ”
Liu Wei glanced at Yang Yinglong's men and horses in the city, then turned his head to look at Liu Wei and said, "General Liu, can you fight a round?" ”
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became serious: "What does Lord Liu mean by playing a round?" ”
"It's a siege!" Liu Wei opened his mouth and said, "In order to achieve the best effect, can Lord Liu attack the city for a round?" Of course, you don't have to really fight, you can just attack from the back. ”
Seeing that Liu Wei's face was dark, Liu Wei was also a little embarrassed, attacking a pass like Loushan Pass, going up is to send him to death, Liu Wei naturally couldn't let those toasts go. Once the toast is asked to be cannon fodder, maybe these people will turn against the water, and what the emperor wants is a stable Sichuan, not a chaotic Sichuan.
Liu Wei didn't dare to do this kind of thing, and the consequence of this was that Loushan Pass was defeated, and he would also be punished by the emperor, and he would lose any credit.
In such a situation, Liu Wei can only let his subordinates go up, who are his subordinates? Those are all the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they are all their own descendants, let them go to death, Liu Wei can't bear it, if there are too many casualties, how can Liu Wei explain to the emperor? Liu Wei felt that the emperor had to peel off his own skin.
Seeing Liu Wei's black face, Liu Wei hurriedly said, "Lord Liu, it's not a real fight, it's just a show." ”
"Our men rushed to the tower with a ladder, and then let the artillery fire, and we mixed in with the artillery to fire a few cannons. First, it can allow the enemy army to go to the city more, and second, it can also allow our men to find a good place to land the shells. ”
Mortar shells are specially made to accurately hit the target, and Liu Wei is preparing to take out the opponent's command system, which is called a decapitation operation.
"After the ladder is mounted, you can withdraw it, there is no need to climb, after we have fired a round of cannons, we can just rush to the mountain." Liu Wei hesitated when he saw Liu Wei, and continued directly: "When the city is empty, you can go down with a drum, so that the enemy can relax and careless." ”
Liu Wei glanced at Liu Weixi, and said with a serious face: "Are you sure this is okay?" ”
"Absolutely!" Liu Wei nodded and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, you will definitely not let Lord Liu down." ”
Mortars for Liu Wei and the Armament Division, the importance is self-evident, this is the highest achievement of the Armament Division, even the shells are loaded with new gunpowder, Liu Wei of course hopes that the mortar will be a blockbuster, as long as this can reflect the importance of the Armament Division, improve the status of the Armament Division, and at the same time highlight the merits of his own people.
Therefore, Liu Wei very much needs a platform for the mortar to play, which is why he let Liu Wei feint.
Liu Wei pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange people!" As he spoke, he called his men and began to assign tasks. Attacking on the back is not a simple matter, if you don't do it well, it will lower morale, Liu Wei needs to focus on arranging, you must tell it well, it is really a feint, and you must avoid casualties.
"Let the artillerymen fire two rounds first, and then you rush up, remember, just get on the ladder, don't really climb up." Liu Wei pulled his lieutenant general and instructed: "Remember, run back quickly when the time comes, don't let the brothers lose their lives, if anyone suffers too many casualties, see how I clean you up." ”
After listening to Liu Ling's words, his subordinates all nodded solemnly, and when they first heard that the city was going to be attacked, they were all startled, could it be that the handsome man wanted to fill it with his life?
This is not good, the lives of his subordinates are very expensive, this is all cultivated by the imperial court at a great price, and it is not okay if the damage is too great. Now that he heard that it was a feint, he was allowed to turn around and run, which made Liu Ling's subordinates breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone understood, Liu Wei said, "Okay, let's prepare!" Let the sons and daughters shout, and the power must be sufficient. ”
Soon the Ming army began to form a formation, the shield soldier stabbed on the shield, and shouted loudly, because of the valley, the shout spread far away, and at the same time there was an echo, the momentum was amazing, Yang Chaodong on the Loushan Pass was really taken aback.
