Chapter 564: Enthronement of Cheonan Mansion (2)
"I didn't expect the last general! Strategist, look at the above. Chen Cheng said on the opposite wall.
The sick fairy looked over, and there were strong crossbows and flying stones ready on it. As soon as the moat is crossed, they will launch together. This defense can be said to be done to the extreme.
The sick fairy nodded and said, "Look at the two of you, this Huhel knows how powerful we are, and we have strengthened our defenses. ”
Chen Cheng asked, "Strategist, how are we going to attack the city?" ”
The sick fairy said, "Let's go, let's go back and discuss again." ”
"Good strategist." Chen Cheng replied.
The group returned to the tent. The sick fairy took the main seat, and after sitting down, the sick god said, "If we want to attack the city, it seems that we will have to wait until night." ”
"At night?" Chen Cheng asked, looking at each other with a few officers.
The sick fairy nodded and said, "I'm going to use a sneak attack to open the gap." ”
"Open the gap?" The other officer muttered to himself.
The sick fairy nodded and said, "Yes, open the gap." It seems that the city gate is the most heavily fortified. But not necessarily in other parts of the wall. We slammed our artillery into one place and made a gap in the wall, so that our soldiers could enter the city. , and will also surprise the Tatar defenders in the city. ”
"My guess is that Huhr has tasted the hardships of our musketeers in Cheonan, and they will definitely be deployed in the city. How to deploy it? I guess they're ready for a hand-to-hand fight with our musketeers. When the distance is close, the power of the musket cannot be exerted. ”
"And on the periphery, for example, on the rooftops, in the alleys there will definitely be archers in ambush to ambush us. Anyway, if it were me, I would do it. Try to play to your strengths and attack your opponent's soft underbelly. So this time, once I enter the city, I will use cavalry to attack their defenses. And the musketeers followed behind the cavalry, specializing in striking the archers hidden in the heights. Make their arming completely useless. ”
After the sick fairy finished speaking, Chen Cheng and the others looked at each other, and then nodded in favor of the sick fairy's strategy.
"It's just that this night attack, the city is also dark, isn't it bad for our attacker?" Chen Cheng asked.
But the sick fairy smiled and said, "It's not good for us, and it's also not good for the Tarslav defenders!" ”
"What the military advisor said is extremely true!" An officer said.
"Okay, that's it. General Chen, you should arrange for someone to find the weakest part of the city wall of Jinshun Mansion now, and it is best to find the kind of desolate place outside the city wall. For example, where the grass is not knee-long, this kind of place is the best place to sneak attack. The sick fairy said.
"It's a military advisor." Chen Cheng got up and went to make arrangements.
"The other generals put their men and horses in order. After listening, dispatch. We will attack again after the third watch, so that the soldiers can rest first, and then they will cheer me up for 12 points. The sick fairy commanded.
"Yes, yes......"
Several officers stood up at the same time to take orders, and then retreated to prepare. With the direction of the attack, the sick fairy also breathed a sigh of relief. It was afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west, so he walked out of the big tent and looked at the blue sky, which was full of fresh air. He felt that Jin Shuncheng would be broken tonight.
After an hour the soldier who had been inquiring returned. The sick fairy hurriedly entered the big tent, and Chen Cheng and several officers also came.
The soldier said, "The little one went around the wall, and found a very desolate place on the west side, and outside the wall there were wild grasses and shrubs, which were very suitable for hiding. ”
After hearing this, the sick fairy nodded and said, "Chen Cheng, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
"Yes." Chen Cheng agreed.
He also had the sick fairy and several officers led by the little soldier to the west of the city. There was indeed a desolation there. Troops can hide well in the grass.
Moreover, the moat became narrower in that generation, and it was convenient to build a simple bridge in the army. The defenses on the opposite wall were much lighter than at the gates. The walls don't seem to be so much of a thing.
After reading it, the sick fairy nodded with a smile and said, "This is indeed a good place, so it's here." Chen Cheng, you first go and have someone bring the simple wooden bridge, hide it, and set it up for later use. ”
Chen Cheng said: "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as I go back." ”
The sick fairy said, "Let's go back and attract the attention of the defenders on the city wall." ”
The group secretly went back again.
When they arrived at the big tent, the sick fairy was immediately deployed. Let the artillery cross the bridge first, and then get into range and prepare to attack. Behind were the cavalry, who hid in the bushes and grass. And then there was the Musketeers. There were about 50,000 troops in total. After the sick fairy let them enter the city, they fought all the way to the east, and then occupied the south gate of the city, opening it for their own large army to enter the city. In this way, the Tarnus defending the city either chose to retreat or counterattack.
But in any case, Liu Yong's army can be regarded as occupying Jinshun City. That's what Liu Yong wants. Even if it's a little more expensive, I don't care.
The night is quietly coming, and the early autumn night seems to be clear and leisurely on the plateau. But in the camp of Liu Yong's army, there was pre-war tension.
Nervousness is not timidity, but the bow is drawn like an arrow.
At the second ten o'clock, the army began to deploy, and the cavalry, which had six thousand men in all, came to ambush in the grass a mile beyond the moat. Once you rush into the city, it's terrible.
And fifty cannons have already reached the moat.
At this time, there was still a fire burning on the city wall, but it could not shine under the city wall, let alone the moat.
Chen Cheng personally commanded the battle, and as soon as the third watch arrived, he immediately ordered the bridge to be built. The soldiers who built the bridge were trained. There was barely a sound, and ten improvised wooden bridges were built.
The artillery had crossed the moat, and by this time it had not alarmed the defenders on the walls. At this time, even the people standing guard are sleepy and inevitably distracted.
Fifty guns were all aimed at one point. The walls here are almost two zhang high. The artillery only bombarded the bottom of the city wall in order to open a large hole. Allows cavalry and the army behind to enter.
The artillery was aimed at the target, and Chen Cheng gave the order to fire.
Fifty guns were fired together, and fifty shells were fired almost in unison. It's like a cannonball.
Rumble.
At the base of the wall, a hole the size of a small house opened in an instant, enough for three horses to pass through.
While the few defenders on the city walls were stunned, the cavalry on this side had already entered the city. And the musketeers followed, and behind them were ordinary soldiers.
Entering the city, the cavalry met little resistance, as they followed the walls all the way to the east. The musketeers behind him followed closely.
Soon arrived at the South City Gate. The defenders there heard the sound of the cannons, but after a moment of panic, they could not see where the cannons were fired.
