Chapter 561: Three-Way Siege (5)
When he arrived at the city, the sick fairy immediately ordered the cannon to wait.
Boom, boom, boom, soon, the tower of the gate of Tian'an Mansion was on fire. And the defenders were not ambiguous, although they did not have artillery, but they had strong crossbows. This weapon has a range of several hundred meters, even farther than a cannon.
However, the army of the sick gods also did a good job of protection, and in front of the artillery, there was a shield one and a half high. And the fire army behind also has a small shield protection. Those powerful crossbows were originally very powerful, but after a long time in the air, the final attack power has been drastically reduced. It's become a fluttering little arrow.
And you will lose the Tarnu defenders on the walls.
At this time, Huhr personally stood on the tower of the city gate to direct the battle, and was still shocked to see the huge difference in the weapons of the two sides. He thought to himself: "With such a big gap, how can we fight." You can't hit someone with an arrow, but your artillery can easily reach you. It's really an unequal war. It seems that now only the cavalry can rush. But in this mountainous place, the cavalry could not play to its maximum ability. ”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good taste.
This is still guarded by strong crossbows, otherwise, this city wall will not be defeated by the artillery of the Han army in less than two hours.
Seeing that it was almost over, the sick fairy stopped the bombardment, and his own shells were not blown by the wind. Now the arsenal is in the force of the manufacture of shells and bullets.
Then ordered to stay put, he decided to spend some time with the Tarslavs.
On the tower of the city gate, Huhel frowned and asked the military advisor beside him: "Military advisor, this faint monarch does not retreat, what do you think?" ”
The military advisor said, "I'm afraid this is a temptation. ”
"Temptation?" Huhr asked.
"Hmm." The advisor nodded.
"What then tempts us?" Huhr said.
"Test if we dare to attack it." The military advisor said.
"Why are you tempting me?" Huhr asked.
The military advisor said, "I guess this Han army wants us to attack it." ”
"And why?" Huhr asked.
The military advisor said: "General, do you think, they have such a powerful weapon, wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone if we attack it?" ”
After listening to the words of the military advisor, Huhel nodded. Although he felt that the military advisor's words were reasonable, he did not give up his thoughts, just contrary to the judgment of the military advisor, he felt that the Han army did not want him to attack.
But judging from the current situation, attacking is really not a good strategy. The weapons of the Han army are simply too powerful. Unless he has a million army in his hands, he dares to attack at this moment, and use the tactics of the sea of people to drown the Han army.
He didn't say what he thought, because he also decided not to attack. It also acquiesced in the inference of the military advisor. Even if the Han army wants to attack it by itself, then what the enemy wants is what we don't want. It's as simple as that.
In fact, both of them guessed correctly, the sick gods were indeed testing whether they dared to attack the city gate. Moreover, Huhel guessed more accurately. But Huhr didn't guess any further, not because of his laziness, but because he didn't want to attack in his heart.
If he guessed deeply, he would wonder why Han Jun was tempting him, and this was the crux of the matter. But he gave up and continued to get to the bottom of it.
The child fairy does not do too much temptation, but too much will make the other party suspicious.
By noon, he had ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and it was a slow and leisurely retreat. Right under the noses of the Tarnus.
The Tartars do not attack but defend, this is the conclusion reached by the sick gods.
Well, now it's time to attack on the line. Let the land armies on both sides attack first, and in the stalemate, the sea warships attack the enemy's rear as cavalry, taking them by surprise.
The sick god immortal ordered that the Chinese and Western armies launch a general attack on Tian'an Mansion at ten points on the fifth watch tomorrow.
The army in the west was led by Zhang Cheng, and after receiving the military order from the sick god, he immediately launched an army to march eastward, and arrived at a place ten miles away from the east gate of Tian'an Mansion at the second watch of the same night. Then let the army rest well and wait until the fifth watch day to start attacking Cheonanfu.
The rooster announced, and the fifth watch day came. The east and south gates of Cheonanfu were filled with the sound of cannons at the same time. The assault has begun.
This is not a temptation. The attacking army had already approached the walls, and in a short time the walls were bombarded by artillery. There was no place for the soldiers on the city walls, so they had to fire crossbows and arrows from below. As for the target, it can only be hit anywhere.
Wherever it goes, there is no threat to the Han army.
Seeing that there were no more enemy troops on the city wall, the sick fairy immediately ordered the artillery to bombard the city gate. The artillerymen were naturally unambiguous, and the two shots smashed the city gate to pieces.
The sick fairy wielded his sword and commanded, and let the musketeers be the vanguard.
Smack, smack, smack......
Immediately gunshots rang out at the city gates.
The Tarnu defenders in the city had no choice but to return with bows and arrows. As we've said before, musketeers are covered with two layers of armor, and ordinary arrows can't penetrate them at all.
The opposing Tarnon defenders could not resist the guns, and before they could return fire, they were defeated and retreated to the city. The Sick Immortals organized a pursuit. At this time, the west gate was also opened. The Han army of the south and west attacked the city together.
There was no way, since Tian'an City was broken, Hu Heer had to order the army to retreat to the north and withdraw Jinshun Mansion, where there were still 100,000 defenders, adding his own 200,000 to see if he could stop the Han army anywhere.
In less than a morning, the Han army occupied Cheonan. Moreover, the fleet, located at sea, did not fire a single shot at all.
The sick fairy didn't expect that the Tartar slaves would have a great general who thought they could fight well, but they were so vulnerable. In fact, he also knew that muskets were invincible in the war in this city.
Huhr was also defeated in the face of resistance, not because of his combat ability, but because he had no way to fight back. In order to preserve his strength, he could only run away. Huhel also knew that in the eyes of the stunned emperor, the Jin Shun Mansion was the most important thing that could not be lost.
Jinshun Mansion is backed by Tianjiang Tianhai and is the gateway to the southeast. Never lose. This is also the reason why Huhr decisively ordered a retreat to the north. Continuing to resist in Cheonanfu, the command suffered even heavier losses. He felt that his life was small, and the country of Dayang was big. If he defends Jinshun Mansion in one battle, it can be regarded as keeping the southeast side.
The sick god led the soldiers to recapture Tian'an Mansion, and the soldiers and civilians celebrated together. Citizens who had gone into hiding due to the war came out one after another to tell each other. We Han people are back.
