Chapter 344: A New Mode in Battle
When the main general Ashu saw that the leader of the Tarakhan army saw that he had come to watch the battle in person, the people were going crazy, and he immediately organized thousands of people, divided into three teams, and pounced fiercely on the three walls of the fortress.

In fact, this kind of fort was learned from Liuqiu Island, and it was suggested by Lu Xiong, the director of the Lu group in the Badaohe area, and he also personally gave Zhang Guoan Island the blueprints.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, thought that this kind of miniaturized fortress would help the Lu group, because for the cavalry, the fortress building was the existence they hated the most, and it would definitely give the Tatar army a headache.
In fact, it gives the Tatars not only a headache, but also a heartache.
Of course, the Ara Han army is not a regular army, but in the eyes of the main general Ashu, although they are not as good as the regular soldiers, they are natural helpers in the siege of the city, and they can also do odd jobs, and they are also useful.
Then he saw that the three groups of men had been beaten back again, and they had run back one after another, and the fallen corpses were scattered all over the way of the attack!
Those Song soldiers opened fire from the window at the attacking crowd, shooting a bloody spark; And from time to time, a row of people stood up behind the fortress wall, and they hit with something like an iron bar, and they could immediately knock down a group of people!
At this time, the whole battlefield can make the main general Ah Shu familiar with the bed crossbow and crossbow arrows that were knocked down from the fortress...... Their lethality is as amazing as ever.
Of course, Liu Quan, the deputy commander-in-chief, had already introduced him to the changes in Song Bing's weapons, and he had also seen the so-called artillery and thunderbolts, but it was the first time he had seen it directly used in actual combat like now.
He squinted his eyes and watched the whole process coldly, and now, unlike what he was used to.
The main general, Ah Shu, saw that the leader of the Tarakhan army was about to organize the third group of people to attack...... He waved his hand and told his men to stop them. There is no point in giving up your life in vain.
Then, they began to use regular soldiers and were to be prepared carefully.
Liu Dutou of the Great Song army looked out of one of the windows of the fortress and saw that the Tatars had begun to build building chariots and covered their shields with multiple layers of cowhide, and they were preparing to attack to the death.
Song Dutou turned back to his subordinates and said, "Everyone prepare more thunderbolts...... Light up the wolf smoke, the dog Tartar is going to attack to the death! ”
between them and other fortresses. can only rely on wolf smoke to contact and ask for help from others.
After the main general Ah Shu saw the black smoke rising from the top of the fortress, he sneered, he didn't believe that those Song dogs dared to send soldiers to save them!
In the field of mounted archery, they are invincible in the world!
This small-scale battle brought all the Tatars and northern Han people to the world...... They saw that the building car could not be pushed forward by the artillery at all, but would be shelled repeatedly. The wooden shelves couldn't resist the cannons, let alone the people who pushed the carts, and as they continued to advance, the shelves would be broken very quickly!
The person pushing the cart can be changed, but the cart cannot be changed.
And even when their soldiers took advantage of the concentration of artillery on the building carts, they held shields and carried ladders, desperately approaching the fort wall. Suddenly a number of iron balls and something with a round head with a wooden handle were thrown out of the window of the fort wall. The thing smoked white and soon exploded, and the scattered pieces of iron quickly harvested the lives of others, bringing with them a howl of despair...... There is no way to fight this battle!
The soldiers had to retreat again with great speed...... The face of the main general Ah Shu turned blue at this time.
Now, it's not a question of whether you can take it or not, it's just the thought that there are so many fortresses on that map. He was immediately furious, if this is the case, how will this battle be fought?!
Liu Dutou in the fortress watched with satisfaction as his men repelled another attack, and he asked confidently, "I'll wait for no casualties, right?!" ”
He received a satisfactory answer, and the warriors hid behind the fortress walls. Of course no one will be hurt.
At this time, he saw that the Tatars had begun to assemble the stone cannons, and it seemed that they had taken out thunderbolts, all of which were iron balls...... Liu Dutou's heart was a little tight now, and he was thinking about when his reinforcements would come here to support him.
The main general, Ah Shu, now has to use this sharp weapon, he also has artillery, but like the opponent's artillery, it has a relatively short firing range, and it is not very useful for this nasty fortress.
However, he had heard that the Ordnance Bureau would soon send in larger artillery, and could even siege the city!
Thunderbolt bombs are actually just as easy to use, full of power within one or two hundred steps, this was originally what he was going to use to attack Xiangyang City, but he didn't expect a small fortress to force him to use it, if he hit it all the way, the thunderbolt bombs they carried were probably not enough at all, this was a problem he had to consider.
The stone cannon for throwing thunderbolts is relatively small and easy to install.
The main general, Ashu, saw that the soldiers were quickly installed, and saw that they had fired the thunderbolts into the fortress------ and at this time, the fortress also resounded with a roaring explosion!
The main general Ashu's war horse was a little commotion, and he stretched out his hand and patted the neck of the horse's war horse to calm it down, which he had done to calm it down before.
But the fortress only trembled at the sound of the explosion, and there was no sign of it being blown down.
One of his men said, "General, if you put it with lime, as long as they can't see it, we will ......."
As soon as they said this, they suddenly heard a snapping sound again!
Everyone turned their heads to look at the water, and there were dozens of more boats there!
The people on the ship actually shot and killed several stone gunners, and the firing suddenly slowed down!
The main general, Ah Shu, was furious, and hurriedly transferred the archers of the regular army, and the people on the river are now just a stone's throw away!
The boat on the river had received a signal to come to the rescue of the people in the fortress, and the captain who took the lead saw the Tatar archers coming, and he knew how powerful the other party was, so he rushed to release a round of arquebuses, and with a shout, they quickly rowed away.
The locust-like bow and arrow held viciously on the surface of the river, but floated feebly.
The main general Ah Shu immediately took over the command of the battle, and he found that this battle could be regarded as a kind of drill, and that Xiangyang City was afraid that it would also be these moves, right?
He soon discovered the shortcomings of those Song dogs.
The first is that they are small in number, as long as they do not attack them intensively, their armaments will definitely not be enough, and the second is that it is a good way to block their sight------
The ensuing battle became fierce, and the main commander Ashu immediately ordered his gunners to wrap the thunderbolts and quicklime together, and then immediately fired them intensively.
At the same time, let your archers take turns firing arrows to keep the boats on the river out of range!
The captain of the Song soldiers on the river was helpless, their arquebuses couldn't help now!
He could only silently recite the blessing that his comrades-in-arms withstood it.
When he saw that the Tatars had set up their bed crossbows, he ordered the people to retreat so that they would not be wounded by the bed crossbow arrows.
The fortress soon fell into a cloud of white smoke, and no one could see anyone. (To be continued.) )
