Chapter 249: Booming through the Clouds
With Gao Shun's command flag waved, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion began to attack the moat, that day in Beiping, Liu Yi had deduced the process of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass with him on the sand table, Gao Shun still remembered the surprise when he saw the sand table for the first time! At that time, the lord proposed a concept called skirmisher line impact, and after several deductions and practical exercises between the two, Gao Shun felt that this method could greatly reduce the killing of soldiers by the rain of arrows at the head of the city during the impact!
The current loose and connected shock formation of the Tiger Guard Battalion was practiced by Gao Shun in Bingzhou, and closing the locust-like flying arrows did not bring great damage to the attacking soldiers, and they had already begun to fill the sacks into the moat one by one with skillful movements! After advancing to a certain distance, the catapult of the Vermilion Bird Battalion also showed its strength, after several years of use and improvement, plus Liu Yi recruited a lot of skilled craftsmen to join the design, whether it is range or power, it is far above the Tiger Prison defenders!
This kind of catapult is five square, can throw two hundred steps of stones the size of a human head, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion call them the cannon, although the stone is not big, but with the help of the momentum of the lethality is still very considerable, the key is that the reduction of the stone can make the catapult more conducive to control, but also more flexible! As for the large sky-bombing cannon Liu Yijun also has it, it needs to be pulled by a mule, and now is not the time for it to go to the battlefield! The soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion operate a bombardment cannon every three people, one checks the range, one carries it, and the other places the stones, and the cooperation of each squad is also very skillful.
One hundred and twenty cannons together to exert force, the stones in the sky will be smashed towards the pass, the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass is two feet higher than the general city pass, not all the stones can be accurately thrown on the pass, but as long as half of them are enough to cause the chaos of the city guards, and with the development of the war, the accuracy is also increasing, after all, its purpose is to suppress! At that time, Liu Yi ran to the wolf to defeat the Hun cavalry, and then gathered and annihilated the army of Bingzhou, all of which were due to the sky-bombardment cannon!
Zhang Ji has seen a catapult, but it is very rare to have such a high accuracy, and the stone the size of a human head can easily knock a person down with the sound of the wind; At the same time, he hurriedly ordered the vine players to join in the moment to block these flying stones; Although he saw the opportunity quickly, after all, there was still a certain degree of panic at the juncture, and the Xuanwu camp had set up the well at this time!
As early as the time of Yan County, the Xuanwu Battalion Sanguan and Wuhuan played their own prestige in the first battle, and in the old fourth battalion, they were the only ones who had not changed their commanders, and they had always been the first famous general Liu Yi received after coming to this world, Pei Yuanshao! In Liu Yijun's accurate archery skills, no one dared to recognize the first if the White Tiger Battalion recognized the second, even if Yan Gang's White Horse Battalion had to bow down in positional warfare, the old fourth battalion had always been the strictest in selecting soldiers.
Once the well is up the distance, the arrows of the Xuanwu camp also begin to exert their power, although they can be shot from the bottom to the top, they do not fall behind; In addition to the superb archery skills of the soldiers, the bows and crossbows in their hands are also extremely advanced, and there is a special ordnance station in Liu Yi's Hussar General's Mansion, and weapons can also determine the direction of a war, which Liu Yi knows very well! Although he came through time, but ** or something is a fool's dream, and he didn't think about it! However, it is still possible to use some of his modern knowledge to gather a group of skilled craftsmen to improve the armament.
The ordnance institute is full of skilled craftsmen from various counties, Liu Yi gave them a rich life, as well as a high social status, with only one purpose, to innovate and improve the existing ordnance! To be honest, people's creativity is endless, and a group of skilled craftsmen often have unexpected ideas after gathering! Just like the crossbow in the hands of the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion, it has a long range and light weight, of course, it is not ordinary in terms of cost, but Liu Yi doesn't care about these, what he cares about most is the lives of those veterans of a hundred battles, for a powerful army, they are priceless!
When it comes to the principles of physics, aerodynamics, it may be a bit unfathomable, but Liu Yi knows that the crystallization of the wisdom of these skilled craftsmen contains these things, but there is no such theory, the Vermilion Bird Battalion has a sky-bombing cannon, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion will call it the Cloud Piercing Bow in their hands!
There has never been any army that can suppress the arrows and flying stones at the head of the city in the attack on the Tiger Pass, but Liu Yijun in front of him has done this, in addition to the well-trained soldiers, ordnance is the top priority! In the face of the attacker's "advanced weapons", Zhang Ji did not have a very good method, and the shooting would not stop, after all, no one could change the condescending advantage, but it was obviously impossible to rely on the moat to stop Liu Yijun's advance.
The impact of the Tiger Guard Camp is very layered, and the first target is the moat! Not a step beyond the thunder pool, after the stalemate began to start at the end of the pass, a team of mules pulled the vehicles loaded with sandbags also entered the battlefield, of course, they just sent the sandbags out of the range of the defenders on the pass, with Gao Shun's familiarity with the Tiger Prison Pass, he was no worse than the distance!
The soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion went back and forth, braving the rain of arrows at the head of the city to throw sandbags into the moat, of course, some of them will fall down from time to time, this is inevitable, and the second battalion of the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu can not completely suppress the juncture, but the casualties have been controlled to a minimum!
Calmly watching the movements of the soldiers of each battalion under his command, although Gao Shun was silent, he was still shocked by the strength of the lord's elite soldiers! I have seen it in training, but it is completely unusual on the battle array, the lightly injured soldiers can be re-invested by simply bandaging themselves, and the seriously injured also have colleagues who will send them out of the enemy's range, at this time there will be a military medical team to ask for help, Liu Yi Every soldier in the army must learn the skills of battlefield self-help under the guidance of the medical officer, and this is not enough to become a qualified soldier in the training!
Coordination and cooperation between various arms can give full play to the greatest combat power, Liu Yi's words made him a little puzzled at that time, and he gradually understood the meaning of the lord in training, and now it is even more powerful on the battlefield! At the beginning, Gao Shun's understanding of the lord's command was still superficial, that is, at that time he also admitted that this was a strong team, so he had ten days to win the Tiger Prison Pass, after this period of hard training, he had a deeper understanding, although he didn't say it, but he felt that it would not take ten days to win this pass, and even the casualties were much smaller than he thought!
The attack in front of him is obviously relatively smooth, the generals around him, including Guo Jia, are very impressed with Gao Shun, the lord's vision really never fails, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they must be commanded by smart generals, this siege battle is a competition of strength, there are not many tricks to speak of, Gao Shun's today's arrangement has led to the greatest combat power of these soldiers, and the name of good attack is not a lie! In his heart, he once again warned himself to obey the military order, and General Gao had real materials.
Liu Yijun's progress is going well, and Zhang Ji, who is closed, is naturally as heavy as water, how can he see it in person? The level of toughness of these tens of thousands of siege soldiers made him frightened, in the face of such a strong army, even if he had a strong hand, how long could he hold it? But he soon dismissed the idea.
"The enemy army is about to officially attack the city, what tricks can they play when they get here, brothers don't need to panic, just let me repel them all!" Seeing that the moat was filled in less than two hours, Zhang Ji shouted loudly, no matter what he thought, his morale could be boosted at this time, and he was not incompetent for more than ten years. Sure enough, under his shouting, the soldiers obviously had the spirit and quietly waited for the enemy army to attack the city pass!
At the same time, Gao Shun raised a yellow flag in his hand, Zhang He saw a wave of the spear in the distance, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion were divided into dozens of squads, lifted the ladder and crossed the moat and rushed to the pass, and Tai Shici's personal guard battalion also moved at the same moment, seven or eight wooden carts covered with cooked cowhide slowly moved in the direction of the battlefield, and the Tiger Guard Battalion attacked the city head, and their target was the city gate!
