Chapter 406: Sneak attack on Xuzhou
By the time Qiu Yue found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, and these returning captives had already inadvertently passed on the news that there were hundreds of artillery pieces on the enemy's wall, and the gossip always had wings, and soon the entire army knew about it.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Qiu Yue's face was not good-looking, and the wound on his leg was still aching, so the deputy general came in and said, "More than 100 wounded soldiers came back from the battlefield of Mangdang Mountain just now, and they came back and said that there are hundreds of cannons on the wall on the mountain. ”
"Confused, this is the enemy's trick to disturb the morale of the army, hurry up and lock up the soldiers who came back alone." Qiu Yue said angrily.
The adjutant general said: "The last general also thinks so, but just in time for dinner, the news has already spread." ”
Qiu Yue had nothing to say, but after all, he was a general, and his head turned quickly, and he immediately said, "Find the carpenter in the army." ”
"Yes."
Soon, the lieutenant general found a carpenter, and Qiu Yue arranged a plan. There are also hundreds of craftsmen in the army, and they will be busy when they return to the army.
Early the next morning, the forbidden army from Tokyo began to drill with black artillery, exactly like the tiger squat cannon in the Jeju army, and occasionally fired a few cannons, and the careful counting was almost hundreds.
Qiu Yue gathered the whole army and announced: "When the general set out from Tokyo, Captain Gao also allocated 300 artillery, but as soon as the artillery opened, the ground cracked, and the lives were ruined, so the general could not bear to open fire, and Captain Gao also had mercy, and the army attacked the city again in the afternoon, if it could not be captured, it would definitely bombard Mangdang Mountain." ”
When the soldiers saw that there were also artillery in the army, their morale was immediately shocked, and they rubbed their fists one by one and prepared to attack the city in the afternoon. Qiu Yue ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and at noon several small units were sent to arrest all the pigs and sheep in the nearby villages in the name of searching for and suppressing the remnants of the bandits. In the afternoon, they had to forcibly attack the mountain, eat and drink enough to work hard, and were eating happily, when they suddenly heard the sound of artillery, the soldiers were frightened, and the officers said: "Don't worry, it's our own artillery training." "The cannonball fell nearby before the voice fell, this kind of flowering projectile that is not much bigger than a goose egg is actually very limited, the killing radius is six or seven meters, and as long as it is not too unlucky, it is basically injured, and few are directly killed, but the artillery brings chaos and fear, and the soldiers don't eat meat anymore, one by one, they run everywhere, even the pot stove is overturned, and the ground is full of embarrassment, everyone has no experience in dodging artillery fire, and they don't find the shells coming again for a long time, it turns out that Li Kui led the artillery team out again, It's still the same old routine, and after a round of artillery, it will be transferred, and by the time the cavalry in the barracks chase it out, it has already run a long way.
Qiu Yue had no choice but to set up high watchtowers on all sides of the camp, and blew the trumpets as soon as the artillery came, but just a few minutes after it was placed, the trumpets on all sides sounded, and it turned out that there were artillery on all sides, and it was so far away that it was impossible to see which way the artillery was real, so divide the troops to chase it, and there were five hundred cavalry on each road. Half an hour later, all four cavalry returned, but one cavalry suffered heavy losses, and only three hundred came back with five hundred people.
It turned out that the cavalry pursued to the east, and not long away the artillery ran into a mountain col, and as soon as they entered the mountain pass, they caught fire, and the weeds in this mountain pass were deep in the horse's legs, and the smoke was billowing out, and the cavalry rushed out, but still lost more than 200 people.
Qiu Yue said: "Don't worry about harassment, send troops, and go straight to the nest of Mangdang Mountain." ”
The army was opened, leaving only 3,000 people to guard, and more than 10,000 troops were dispatched, and the cavalry, infantry, and artillery came to the wall again with high spirits.
Qiu Yue waved the flag: "Attack, if you can't take it today, you won't return to the camp." ”
Immediately, the shieldmen protected the archers and the archers on the city walls exchanged fires, and the two sides fought evenly with arrows flying all over the sky. The knife player followed the ladder and shouted, "Kill, rush." ”
The ant-like soldier climbed up the ladder, this guy was so imposing that at first the defenders on the city wall could parry, but soon the defense became weaker and weaker, and the soldiers stormed up.
Soon the wall was occupied, the gate was opened, and the army was welcomed into the mountain. Entering the mountains and hills is a little depressed, and it turns out to be a large slope of dozens of meters, with more than 100 steps, which makes people dizzy to look at.
"Attack." The flag waved again, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken. However, this time there was a bit of a miscalculation, and the logs and stones on the top of the slope rolled down together, and the attacking soldiers were immediately killed and wounded. However, in ten minutes, there were thousands of casualties, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Qiu Yue said: "Pause, shout, negotiate." ”
Immediately let the officer with a loud voice shout: "Listen to the people above, surrender quickly, you have been surrounded." ”
The Jeju army above rolled down a grinding stone and laughed: "Haha, there is a kind of you coming up, let you taste the taste of stones." ”
In fact, the first pass was deliberately abandoned, because there were too few people, and only Xiang Chong was left in the mountains to lead 800 soldiers to defend, so he gave up the first pass wall and relied on the second pass to defend.
Xiang Chong laughed on the mountain: "I said General Qiu Yue, Xuzhou City has fallen into our hands, haven't you noticed that the main force of our army is no longer in the mountains, and we are going to attack Xuzhou City." ”
Of course, Qiu Yue knew that something was wrong, but how could he admit defeat, and immediately smiled: "Xuzhou City is well defended, how can it be captured by you, even if it is captured, it will have no impact on my army." ”
"Yes, your army of 20,000 people can't eat the wind. You don't have to transport grain from Xuzhou, you rely on robbing the people, is it enough? ”
Qiu Yue is depressed, Xuzhou is the supply point of the army.
Qiu Yue pretended to be calm and sneered, even if Xuzhou lost the general, he would take this mountain.
Immediately ordered the soldiers to storm the mountain, Xiang Chong on the mountain saw that this man's naval battle was quite powerful, and immediately did not dare to slack off, and ignited the mechanism on the waist of the mountain in the middle of the night, and with a loud bang, dozens of tons of boulder fragments fell down one after another, and the thousands of soldiers who attacked the mountain were all buried.
The soldiers below were frightened, and they didn't dare to say more, who would attack the mountain.
Qiu Yue's ears were also shaken, where could he forcibly order the attack on the mountain in this situation, so he had to go back to the camp and make plans. Let's say that Li Kui, Fan Rui, Bao Xu, Li Gon and other people led 3,000 troops to Xuzhou City, Xuzhou City is an important place for soldiers, the city is tall, it is too difficult to sneak attack here, if you don't know that there are fewer defenders here, Li Kui is not good to have the courage to fight Xuzhou City.
