Chapter 61: Tearing the City (Part II)

Yuan Yun, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong made a plan, and the second day began to execute, the first thing to do was to let Huang Zhong's rifle battalion go to Yong'an City every day to release guns, so that the enemy would not dare to leave the city at all.

Then, under the sweep of Zhao Yun's army, all the surrounding enemy cavalry and shooting were cleared, and after ensuring all this, the general camp began to build a dam on the side of the river, everything seemed very careful, resting day and night, and no news leaked.

After another ten days, the amount of water in the dam finally reached a satisfactory level, in addition, in the land leading to Yong'an City, the craftsmen also dug a lot of waterways, the purpose is to let the water directly into the city, after all, the city guarded by the enemy belongs to the high ground, without building some waterways, it is impossible to correctly channel the water to a reasonable position.

After everything was ready, Xu Yi was as timely as sending charcoal in the snow, and sent the missing supplies from the rear, especially a large amount of ammunition and gasoline.

Under the escort of Xu Yi, the baggage team went all the way quite smoothly, although it was attacked by several ambushes once or twice, but the loss was not large, especially the gasoline and gunpowder bombs were very carefully protected, and the previous disaster did not happen again.

After the arrival of this batch of baggage, the happiest people were naturally Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang and others, who were still worried that the explosives package could not cover a large area, but now with the new gasoline supply, all the problems were solved in an instant.

So on this night, the strategy of flooding Yong'an County began to be implemented, when the dam was dug up, the raging water rushed towards Yong'an frantically along the previously dug waterway, and when the first wall of water slapped on the city wall, most of the places that had been blown up by the cannon collapsed instantly.

In this case, the subsequent flood immediately rushed into the inner city, Zhang Fei and other guards began to organize emergency repairs overnight, but in their opinion, this did not cause serious damage, after all, the city is on the high ground, and there is not a lot of water that can pour into the city, and it is only beyond the neck at the moment, and even if the water is only flooded around the city wall, it does not pour into the city.

When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Fei was the first to find out that something was wrong, he who had fought with the Gunpowder Army was naturally the most experienced of everyone, and when he smelled a pungent smell, the whole person jumped.

This smell is naturally gasoline, but even if Zhang Fei has already found out that something is wrong, he is still a step late, the fire has already rushed in along the oil layer on the water surface, and the huge wall of fire with the sound of whirring wind and whistling wind, churning and rolling instantly covered almost all the city walls.

And that's not all, when the fire has just been rolled over, the sound of explosions will resound one after another, and from time to time you will see a cloud of black smoke rising from the perimeter of the city wall, and then scattered sparks sputter everywhere.

Before many of the defenders could figure out what was going on, they were swept away by the rewinding waves, the lucky ones would fall on the soft mud, the unlucky ones would be torn to pieces by the explosion, and the unlucky ones would be hit by the masonry raised by the explosion, and then die with a whimper.

The sound of such explosions tearing through the air continued until dawn, and even at this time, there were still sporadic explosions coming from the city.

Seeing that the four walls of Yong'an were smoking, Yuan Yun frowned, although such a trick was very ideal, but at the moment he was a little worried that a famous general like Zhang Fei would die in this disaster in such an unknown way.

After a short time, the scouts finally returned to report what they had observed, and the enemy naturally suffered heavy losses, but they had no intention of retreating, and many of the fighters were still back into combat positions, replacing the previously torn defenders.

"The effect is indeed ideal, but the water can only rush to the city wall, the defenders of the inner city have not suffered much damage, the other party still has the strength to defend us, after all, our longest-range artillery has been lost, and if you want to enter the city, you can only attack." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he shook the feather fan lightly, and then looked at Yuan Yun.

Yuan Yun naturally knew the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, that is, he hoped that he would not be stingy with the lives of his soldiers, and that he should launch a strong attack at this time, so that when the morale of the enemy army was greatly damaged, he would take Yong'an in one fell swoop.

Yuan Yun thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Kong Ming's organization is enough, how can there be immortals in a war, we will launch a strong attack." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he did not rush to give an order, but pointed to a herald and said: "My lord, look at this kid's expression, if you give the order to attack, he will risk his life to attack the city, but he has become more energetic." ”

Yuan Yun followed Zhuge Liang's point, and glanced at the excited herald, this little soldier saw that several big people were looking at him, scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and then smiled: "The big man doesn't know, we brothers have been complaining, saying that they are fighting with the big handsome, and the battle achievements are always the least, and in the long run, we are always laughed at by those colleagues who fought with Cao Ang's son, and now even life is a big step worse than them, people eat meat, but we can only watch, So I have long hoped that the marshal can let us go to hand-to-hand combat, so that we can maximize the merits of the battle. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Bing was suddenly stunned, as if he remembered something, and immediately knelt down in fright, and said: "The little one doesn't mean that the big one is not, it's just to answer the true thoughts of the brothers in the army." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled when he saw this, then helped the little soldier, and then ordered: "According to what the commander said, the infantry battalion, rifle battalion, and cavalry battalion are ordered to prepare, and the craftsmen who will make the battalion must also follow, so as to build new fortifications outside the city, just in case." ”

After the soldiers were ordered to retreat, Yuan Yuncai smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Lao Tzu has blocked the financial path of these killers." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xu You walk into the camp, and then said with a smile: "The old man is still going into battle to fight at his age, these young men are full-time after joining the gunpowder army, and there is no other way than to obtain military merits to make the family live a better life, Yuan Hou is indeed hindering people from getting rich, and they have to be unlucky with their families, which is naturally not happy for everyone."

So even if the old man and the others knew that Yuan Hou was a soldier who loved nurses, they didn't think so about these killings, they had already thought about it when they joined the Gunpowder Army, that is, they wanted to get a big return on the battle array, and our Luoyang has never disappointed people, and naturally the soldiers used their lives. ”

Yuan Yun arched his hand when he heard this, then shook his head again, and then said: "This is a good thing, I will naturally not stop it, and in the future battle, I will naturally satisfy this gang of killers." ”

When Pang Tong heard Yuan Yun say this, he also arched his hand and said: "Then I, Pang Shiyuan, have to thank the lord for those killings, when it comes to the level of training, we soldiers have experienced countless battles, and we can be described as fierce pawns on the battle array. ”

Yuan Yun shook his head again, then pointed to the location of Yong'an City, and said: "Since I let these kills go out, then you have to watch their performance carefully, if you are embarrassed, then you will honestly follow Lao Tzu's arrangement in the future, and try to choose the way to kill and injure the enemy from a distance." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately said to another herald: "Go and spread the words of the commander just now to the whole army, if you lose this battle, if you want to get military merits later, let them dream." ”

The herald received the order, his brows furrowed instantly, and he thought in his heart, he had to say it more seriously for a while, otherwise if this gang of people didn't work hard, and the result would be unfavorable to the war, I am afraid that even if they want to perform in the future, they will not have a chance.

After this order was sent to the ranks, it immediately spread like an infectious disease, everyone was full of energy, and even their eyes became red, and today they can finally get a chance to obtain military merits on a large scale, if the performance is poor, it is estimated that they will be turtles again in the future, and they can only watch the scum of the artillery battalion continue to make meritorious contributions, and they will be ridiculed after the war.

When Wei Yan finally came to the east gate of Yong'an with a large group of men, the opponent's city wall was already full of defenders, and the other party obviously felt that the gunpowder army had lost a big weapon artillery, so it was no longer shrinking at this moment, and was always ready to engage the enemy in short combat.

However, Zhang Fei still made a lot of preparations, and the soldiers stayed on the ruined city wall, and they all found a suitable enemy to cover their bodies, because the gunpowder army also had a big weapon, that is, rifles, and finding cover for defense had long become the focus of Yizhou soldiers' training.

Wei Yan looked at such a careful defender, and couldn't help frowning, since the other party had such well-trained, it proved that the other party was not some miscellaneous soldiers, and it must be very difficult to deal with.

However, Wei Yan was in trouble for a while, and suddenly found that the soldiers behind him were surging forward, and the neat team began to move forward in small steps because of this.

Seeing this, Wei Yan was shocked, because he had never seen such a belligerent soldier, and after a closer look, he found that these soldiers were all red-eyed, and the green tendons on their necks were all popping up, and they were completely in a posture of wanting to rush into battle immediately to tear the enemy apart.

Wei Yan was shocked for a while, but suddenly smiled, at this time he was not worried about the battle behind, there were such fierce subordinates who were not afraid of death, why worry about the battle not to win, and at this time, Wei Yan sat down in his heart and calculated, when the war eased a little, he must have a good contact with these subordinates, after all, he was appointed in a hurry, and he did not understand the soldiers under him, but it would affect the combat effectiveness.

At this time, Wei Yan was also very curious, how warlike and how much combat power did his subordinates have? But he soon figured out the question, and at that time he was surprised to close his mouth.

A horn sounded, the army finally began to move forward, the guns of the rifle battalion had begun to sound, and the defenders on the opposite side also knew at this time that they could not even raise their heads when they were oppressed.

This one
