Chapter 333: Expelling the Tang Army (II)
Rumble!
A flowering bomb landed in the crowd, killing and injuring a large number of people.
The Blossom Bullet, which has been switched to yellow gunpowder, is much more powerful than before.
Lin Zhe's army of more than 200 artillery pieces was divided into three batches and bombarded Yunyang County without interruption.
In order to prevent the people from being hurt by artillery, Lin Zhe ordered the artillery troops to strictly control the landing point of the shells, and it is strictly forbidden to extend to the inside of the city.
This was the second time that Feng Ye's army had been bombarded by artillery, although it had the experience of being shelled by artillery for the first time, but in a short period of time, it was impossible for Feng Ye's army to come up with various ways to avoid a lot of damage to their bodies like the previous army of the five great families of Laihe Prefecture.
Each wave was more than seventy flowering bombs falling on the city wall or inside and outside the city wall, and the losses caused by the flowering bombs to Feng Ye's army were not too much, but the flames from the explosion of the flowering bombs and the huge explosion sound were the real disturbing things for Feng Ye's army.
For example, at night, the ordinary soldiers of Feng Ye's army were so sleepy that they wanted to sleep, but the huge sound produced by the explosion of the flowering bombs made these soldiers unable to sleep, and if they wanted to sleep, they could only go to the other side of Yunyang County, which was a little far away from here, and the sound of the flowering bomb explosion would weaken a lot in the past.
But the soldiers stationed on the front wall were badly happed, and they curled up in the corners, enduring the bombardment of shells, which they themselves might be killed by the shells in the next moment.
The flowering bomb is nothing, there is another thing that makes the soldiers of Feng Ye's army even more terrifying - explosive packs.
Every night, Lin Zhe would send warriors to approach the city of Yunyang with explosives bags, and throw the ignited explosives bags onto the city wall or throw them into the corners of the wall to destroy the city wall.
In the violent explosion of the explosive bag, the city wall of Yunyang County was crumbling, and the soldiers defending the city were even more shocked by this earth-shattering sound, and because of the huge power of the explosive bag, it caused great damage to Feng Ye's army.
After several times, the walls of Yunyang County had been blown down in several places, and Feng Ye could only order the soldiers to demolish the houses in the city and obtain stones and wood to fill in the collapsed city walls.
However, under the bombardment of Lin Zhe's army artillery and explosives bags, the soldiers of Feng Ye's army were already afraid of the task of defending the front city wall, which was completely a death mission, and the person who carried out this task was very likely to die.
There were even some strange rumors in Feng Ye's army.
"Tianwei, that's Tianwei, we are fighting against the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals!"
"How can we mortals be against the heavens, please forgive us."
All kinds of strange rumors spread in Feng Ye's army, which had a serious impact on the morale of Feng Ye's army, and Feng Ye deserved to order his generals to send law enforcement teams, and all soldiers who found spreading rumors would be arrested.
Rumors may be just one of the reasons, under the bombardment of Lin Zhe's army, the soldiers of Feng Ye's army have fallen to an extreme, most of the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and many soldiers are trying to escape the task of defending the city to death, they don't want to die in vain, it is better to rush out of the city and charge Lin Zhe's army.
Charge at Lin Zhe's army?
This is impossible, after the last battle, Feng Ye has clearly understood the strong strength of Lin Zhe's army, if there is no city wall, I am afraid that Feng Ye's army can only be chased and beaten by Lin Zhe's army, Feng Ye has not experienced such a thing for a long time.
On the night of the fifth day of Lin Zhe's army's bombardment of Yunyang County, under the cover of night, dozens of warriors came to Yunyang County not far from Yunyang County with explosive bags, and they threw the ignited explosives bags in their hands to the bottom of the city wall.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
In a series of violent explosions, the damaged city wall on the front of Yunyang County was completely finished, directly revealing the scene behind the city wall.
Even more unfortunate were the soldiers stationed on the city wall, who were also shattered by the violent explosion of the wall.
Feng Ye, who was asleep, was woken up by a series of violent explosions, and shouted, "Not good!" ”。
Then the rapid war drums sounded in the city of Yunyang County, after hearing the rapid sound of war drums, the soldiers of Feng Ye's army were ready to fight, but Feng Ye's army was busy in vain, Lin Zhe would not send a large army to storm Yunyang County, if he did that, Lin Zhe's army would certainly be able to defeat Feng Ye's army, and Lin Zhe's army would also suffer heavy losses.
Lin Zhe's army did not attack, but Feng Ye's army couldn't do nothing, the front city walls were all blown down, there was nothing left to defend in this Yunyang county city, Feng Ye could feel that the enemy might be using this method to continuously consume the strength of Feng Ye's army in order to reduce his own losses, Feng Ye could feel it even more, there was no need for the enemy to attack, as long as the enemy continued to do so, with the low morale of Feng Ye's army, maybe it wouldn't last a few more days, and the entire Feng Ye's army would completely collapse.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye was bitter.
Feng Ye has been commanding the army since he became an adult, except for some defeats when he was young, Feng Ye grew up quickly, won almost every battle, pacified civil strife for the Tang Empire, and also resisted foreign enemies, and over time he became known as the "God of War".
The high-level leaders of the Tang Empire probably couldn't imagine that the military god in their minds had been defeated once by an army of a family in Guannei, and the second defeat was about to come.
The front wall of Yunyang County has been blown down, and it can no longer be filled with stones and wood, and Yunyang County can no longer be defended, Feng Ye has no choice but to give up the order of Yunyang County Town and retreat.
After receiving the order to retreat, the morale of Feng Ye's army actually improved to a certain extent, and after the soldiers quickly cleaned up, they fled and quickly left Yunyang County, they never wanted to return to this cruel Shura field.
After Feng Ye's army retreated, Lin Zhe's army easily occupied Yunyang County, in this battle, Lin Zhe's army had no other losses except for a few warriors injured, and the opposite Feng Ye's army suffered nearly 15,000 casualties, so Lin Zhe's army consumed almost half of the ammunition it carried, fortunately, a large number of supplies were hoarded in the border area of Hezhou and Hengzhou, and there were many transport teams composed of oxen and carriages to transport supplies for Lin Zhe's army, and Lin Zhe's army did not need to worry much about the problem of ammunition supply.
The purpose of Lin Zhe from time to time to occupy Yunyang County, Lin Zhe's purpose is to completely defeat or expel the Tang army that entered the Guannei, this war has just begun, and Lin Zhe's army will also face more enemies.
