Chapter 916: Fire Coverage
There was no progress in the attack for a whole day, and the battle situation was so one-sided, and even in the end, Zhang Wenyuan took advantage of the momentum of Cao's army to play an actual combat exercise, even if Hanzhong City was so strong, such a result was a matter that made Cao Ying's generals and soldiers depressed, and it also made them understand in their hearts that they didn't know how much they had to pay if they wanted to take the city in front of them. The same mood as the commander of Cao Cao will inevitably arise, he has been fully mentally prepared before the siege, but there is no doubt that the strength of the Yan army's equipment and the seamless combination of Shangxiong City in hand is the worst situation in his estimation, will the same situation happen in Yanzhou Defense?
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the benefits of the equipment have been used in the military field, the ancestor of the Mo family Mozi has carefully designed many city defense equipment, and then has been carried forward by generations of capable craftsmen, to the Ming and Qing dynasties have reached the peak of handicraft. However, the Han Dynasty emphasized Confucianism, and most of the craftsmen with unique skills were regarded as "strange and ingenious" and did not do their jobs, coupled with the tyranny of Qin Shi Huang before, I don't know how many whimsical ideas were stifled, but Liu Yi's coming, the establishment of the equipment institute made the equipment regain its strong vitality on the battlefield.
One of the obvious differences between humans and other animals is that humans use tools as aids, and in this sense, the sharp rocks of the beginning are of the same nature as the powerful supercomputers of later generations. If the history of human development is regarded as the history of the development of tools, it is not an exaggeration, the use of the steam engine promoted the first industrial revolution, making the island country of Europe extremely powerful, for a time the power throughout the world known as the "empire on which the sun never sets", and then the use of artificial intelligence has made mankind take a big step, it is too early to talk about the gains and losses, but one thing can be determined, a strong country will have the most advanced science and technology.
With the continuous enhancement of power, the goal of pacifying the world is getting closer and closer, Liu Yi also has a greater vision for the future, in his heart, the majestic title of "The Sun Never Sets Empire" will no longer belong to that island country, and the Han with his own existence should have such an honorific title, of course, this idea is only a long-term plan at this time, the road must be taken step by step, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the most important task at the moment is to sweep away the heroes, there is no doubt here.
While attacking Hanzhong City, Cao Cao inevitably thought of the battle of Yanzhou that was being fought thousands of miles away at this time, and the advantages of the Yan army's equipment in the defense of the city were almost perfectly exerted, so would there still be such a huge power as the besieging party? The already strong Yan army has developed more evenly after two years of army reorganization, and can Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other generals withstand the offensive launched by the Yan army as they expected? Cao Cao didn't want to think about it, he wanted to focus on Hanzhong, but the two places were inseparable as a whole, how could he not think about them.
Cao Jun's attack under Hanzhong City was blocked, and Lejin's mood in Leping City was not much better, was Gao Shun attacking the city? Why did not a single soldier rush up to the attacking side? Two hundred steps away from Leping City, hundreds of Xiangyang cannons of the Yan army drove up, and they tirelessly poured countless flying stones towards the head of Cao Jun's city. Catapult Le Wenqian has not seen it, there is a thunderbolt designed by Liu Ziyang himself in Leping City! Le Jin, who had seen its power with his own eyes, believed that it could inflict great damage on any enemy army that tried to attack Leping City, but this was also one of the reasons why he was unhappy, and Gao Shun, who had attacked and defended for half a day, did not give him a chance to use this object at all.
What kind of battle situation makes people feel the most aggrieved? Undoubtedly, he was passively beaten but did not make a move, now Leping's battle situation is like this, and Cao Cao's siege strategy is the same, Gao Shun's attack on the first day is also tentative, but the difference between the two is that Cao Jun takes people as the main force, and Yan Jun still relies on siege equipment, as the attacking party, Jing Fang will not have Wenyuan's scruples to cherish materials, he can open up and use the range advantage of Xiangyang cannon to give Leping a rain of stones, and the Cao army guards don't even dare to show their heads, although they will always need infantry to occupy the city, but such a battle situation can greatly boost the morale of the Yan army and hit the opponent's military spirit at the same time.
Le Wenqian is brave and resolute in battle, he must take the lead in every battle, even if he is injured, he can't change this habit, but his bravery can't play much role in the defense of the city, looking at the Yanjun Xiangyang artillery group that keeps firing flying stones in the distance, Le Jin feels that the roots of his teeth hate faintly painful, Gao Jingfang, aren't you the best at attacking the city? If you have the ability to fight with General Ben, what can you do if you hide in the distance and put cold arrows? But hatred and hatred are painful, but he has no way to change the current battle situation, and he has to shrink his head under the battlements.
The so-called people are more damned than people, and the goods should be thrown away, Fang Cai Lejin has quickly ordered the thunderbolt cars at the head of the city to be transported immediately, and at this time, these sharp weapons to defend the city have become the target of the Yan army's concentrated attack. You can't beat others, but others can get you, no wonder General Le is so angry, the feeling of shrinking the head of the turtle is extremely uncomfortable, and the strength is even more depressing, if you give General Le a hand ** now, he can throw it directly in front of Gao Shun.
Relatively speaking, what Yan Jun has to do is much simpler, what is he doing? Transporting stones, seeing that the Suzaku Battalion and the military equipment battalion were so majestic, the enemy leaders who fought in all directions did not dare to show the Yan Army, but the soldiers who watched were even more excited. It is true that General Le Jin Le was suffocated, but the Liaodong Army from Gao Shun to the ordinary soldiers is also very suffocated, the first to rush to the battlefield in the first battle of Qingzhou was Tai Shici's Beiping Army, and Xiao Hao Ziyi also caught up with the tail of the war, but for the Liaodong Northeast Ping Second Army, it was a stomach full of anger and no place to vent, and at this moment this emotion was completely vented.
"Zhao Lao Liu, beat his city tower, I'm @#@#¥, you kid is crooked."
"Yang Gouzi, where are your kid's eyes, and you can't hit such a big place?"
Accompanied by the flying stones, there is a cheering voice of the Yan soldiers, and for the emotions of the soldiers, Gao Shun is happy to see it, the biggest shouts of those voices are often the veterans, what psychology do you say to them, they will definitely give you a big win, but whenever they are about to fight, these veterans are extremely good at adjusting their psychology to the best state, and they are more able to give full play to the combat power in ordinary training, and their self-adjustment is also affecting those recruits in the battle formation, The tension of their first big war was greatly relieved.
After scientific research in later generations, women's screams have great benefits for relieving stress, and it is also average for men, but most men will not do this out of face, and they are only holding back in their hearts when they are stressed. And to the battlefield that kind of solemn atmosphere is easy to make people nervous and tremble, at that time a kind of excitement mixed with fear, for the first soldier on the battlefield this is understandable, the experience of actual combat in the sword mountain and blood sea rolled through the kind of experience is usually no matter how hard training can not be replaced, only after experiencing these, recruits can grow into real soldiers, and as a general, you must have the ability to coordinate the psychology of your subordinates.
Seeing that their comrades are so majestic, the fighting spirit in the hearts of many soldiers is already difficult to suppress, they can't wait to be like those flying stones to go straight to the enemy's city, and several captains have asked Gao Shun to lead the army to attack, for which Jing Fang will all drink back, hold it for me, when it is time to use you, you will be like a tiger going down the mountain! In this way, Gao Shun is extremely proficient in the natural use of the skills of dispatching troops and generals, and today he will not let a single soldier attack the city, and he must verify this tactic that he has discussed many times with King Yan, "artillery coverage".
The whole army of the Yan army in the two-year strategy is all-round, not only the improvement of the configuration and training methods of the various arms, the king of Yan is also fond of the richness of military theory, Sun Tzu's art of war is profound but not detailed enough in some actual battles, it is not too suitable for promotion in the army, and now Liu Yi is also learning from Cao Cao to make notes for it, the point is to try to use simple and straightforward language to make ordinary generals understand at first sight. The views of the ancients need to be inherited and carried forward, and the experience of this group of strategists and fierce generals under his command also needs to be used for reference.
Gao Shun is good at attacking, Zhang Liao is good at defending, the rest of the Yan army generals have their own strengths, in the process of enriching military theory Liu Yi is very concerned with the communication with these generals, in the way of siege he and Gao Shun have had a very in-depth discussion, with the continuous development and growth of the instrument, the Yan army Vermilion Bird Battalion and the equipment battalion of each army in the siege war how to better exert the power will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the future of the war, with profound theory as a practical guidance in any era will not be wrong, And this approach is also more conducive to the improvement of the overall strength of the Yan army.
It is extremely cautious to apply the military experience known by later generations to today's Liu Yi's attitude, he was not a professional military personnel before the crossing, and what he knew was also obtained from the Internet and books, and it may not be possible to see that the effective methods of the later generations can be used today, and it is not good that he will draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog! His gradual improvement is based on his own combat experience is constantly enriched, and never forget the method of brainstorming, now more than ten years of conquest Liu Yi's actual combat experience look at today there are few people can compare, at this time the two knowledge will be more handy, two years of the whole army is reflected here is more obvious, multi-arms setting, infantry cavalry, navy and coordination between soldiers and equipment are constantly improving, Although theory is a guide, it must also be combined with the actual situation!
Artillery can play a huge role in the siege of the first era, and is even known as the god of infantry, in the late Han Dynasty in this era to make artillery is not practical, but after the careful study of the equipment to improve the bombardment cannon, Xiangyang cannon can replace the role of artillery to a large extent, for this reason Liu Yi once personally ordered Gao Shun to enter Beijing and discuss with Guo Jia Jiaxu and others for a month, not only that, but there is also a thick stack of communication between the two about the perfect siege tactics! Although Lang Sheng gained a lot of experience and ideas from Gao Shun, Jing Fang was also deeply inspired by Yan Wang's advice, and then the core of their research was how to use infantry and artillery coordination tactics!
This tactic has been used in actual combat by the Yan army a few years ago, of course, it is only a preliminary prototype, after the test of battle also provides a lot of useful experience for this tactic, the Xiangyang cannon has been improved after its range, especially the accuracy has been greatly improved, and the latter is of decisive significance for the development of infantry artillery coordination! The power of the Xiangyang cannon will greatly suppress the firepower of the enemy's city head, reducing the casualties suffered by the soldiers in the impact, of course, the two also need to cooperate with each other very tacitly, otherwise it will not hurt the enemy or harm themselves! Gao Shun's Liaodong Army is a pilot for Liu Yi to thoroughly implement this tactic, and this time under Leping City, General Lejin will also let General Le Jin see the power of this new tactic of the Yan Army!
