Chapter 291: Artillery Begins to Show Its Might

"Well, go ahead. www.biquge.info"After seeing that my son was frustrated, he became much more mature. Answering Badulu smiled happily, and couldn't help but nod.

"Marshal, no, the black-clothed thief is here again. More than 10,000 black-clothed thieves are now gathered outside the camp, and they are also carrying all kinds of siege equipment, as if they are preparing to storm our army. At this moment, a general under the Badulu tent couldn't help but come to the tent with three steps and two steps, and reported with such a panicked look.

Suddenly, when he heard this, Polo's eyes widened violently, and he looked frightened. He knew that this should be the strongest attack the Black Coats were about to launch. After all, it is impossible for the black-clothed army to finish building siege equipment and continue to stalemate with them in the Cold War.

In such a situation, even Song Yanjie couldn't help but subconsciously clench the folding fan in his hand, and there was a little more sweat on his forehead. After all, in terms of combat power, the black-clothed army far exceeds the officers and soldiers. So in this offensive and defensive battle, even he has no certainty of victory.

But in the end, the veteran is more calm. At this time, among the big tents of the Chinese army, only Badulu, who was sitting high in the main seat, heard this, and pretended to laugh a few times relaxedly.

"Well done! Damn, let us dig a ditch for four days and build a camp for four days, but we can be regarded as dead of energy, and today the black-clothed thief is here, and it is just right to try the effect of the fortifications we built. Badulu laughed, looking confident.

And seeing that Badulu was so arrogant, Song Yanjie and the others couldn't help but let go of the heart that had been hanging.

"Marshal, if that is the case, I beg you to give the order." After calming down, Song Yanjie slowly stood up from his seat, holding a folding fan in his hand and looking at Badulu, and couldn't help but say so.

Seeing this, Badulu laughed twice, waved his hand, and couldn't help but shout to the generals and officers in the tent: "Quick, pass on my military order, beat the war drums, and assemble the whole army." The moment of our decisive battle with the thieves has arrived. ”

"I'll do as I was told!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but sing a promise and strode back.

"Knock knock~~" Just like this, in the next moment, the dull and loud sound of war drums couldn't help but resound through the battalion of officers and soldiers. Thousands of officers and soldiers and non-commissioned officers and men, under the leadership of their respective generals, could not help but come to the arrow towers, camp walls, and trenches everywhere, putting on a persistent appearance that they would rather be broken than destroyed.

……

"Hmph, the Tartar on the other side is not slow." Outside the camp of officers and soldiers, Zhang Shihua, who commanded this large army, looked at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side from a distance, and it only took more than a quarter of an hour to preliminarily complete the assembly and dispatch and form a fairly effective defense. couldn't help but pull out a smile and praise himself like this.

"Come on, push out the artillery, trebuchet, etc., and bomb me for half an hour first, and then the rest depends on the situation." After praising himself, Zhang Shihua, who couldn't wait in his heart, couldn't help but shout at the left and right generals.

When the generals on the left and right heard this, they sang loudly, and after singing a fat promise, they couldn't help but beckoned to this one after another, and pushed out a piece of artillery and a trebuchet at the first time.

And on a high platform in the officer and soldier barracks, watching the black-clothed army swaggering out eight artillery pieces from the military formation, Badulu, who originally looked like a bamboo in his chest, couldn't help but be stupid.

He knew that the enemy would build trebuchets to attack him, but he really didn't expect that there would be such a thing as artillery on the other side. You must know that artillery is a rarity, even if it is a family like him, he has never seen artillery a few times in his life.

He was not afraid of the enemy's trebuchet return cannons, because the craftsmen of their army would also build such things. If the enemy launches the trebuchet return cannon, it will not be able to hit the two armies to open fire from a long distance. He has far more soldiers than the black-clothed army, and he must not be afraid of trebuchets or anything.

But not against artillery. Coming from a military background, he knew that the range of artillery was far greater than that of trebuchets. That is to say, against artillery, they can only be beaten passively. Even worse, the Blackcoats could have taken advantage of the range of their artillery to destroy their trebuchets and completely nullify their ranged power.

And just when he thought so, the black-clothed soldiers on the opposite side, under the command of Zhang Shihua, did so.

……

"Hurry up, give me some strength, put the artillery in the predetermined position, hurry up!" Yan Di, the new artillery officer of 100 households, after he came to the battlefield for the first time with his new daughter-in-law's black-clothed artilleryman, he wanted to behave well, so he couldn't help but shout like this.

Hearing his roar, an artilleryman couldn't help but grit his teeth, and with all his strength, he pulled a heavy bronze cannon and an iron cannonball to the high platform designated before the war.

"The general has an order, and he orders you to fire at the Tartar's trebuchet first, and give priority to the dismantling of the Tartar's long-range power." After finally placing the artillery in the designated position, the military order could not help but be issued at the first time.

And hearing the military order that Zhang Shihua directly issued to their group of running troops, Yan Di, the new artillery soldier, couldn't help but pat the sturdy plate armor specially allocated to them these hundred household officials, and shouted with excitement on his face: "The last general obeys the order, and the last general swears to complete the general's order!" ”

After roaring like this, as soon as Yan Di, who was full of excitement on his face, turned around, he couldn't help but stare at his eyes, and shouted to his subordinates: "Did you hear it, brothers, the general personally gave us an order." Why don't you clear my load and show my hand in front of the general. ”

After roaring like this, Yan Di, who was like a chicken blood, couldn't help but take out the ruler that he had been putting in his arms, threw off his steps and ran to a cannon, glaring at two eyes and measuring it.

"Everyone, adjust the muzzle of the cannon up for me for three moments, aim at the trebuchet of the Tartars, and kill them for me!" This bearded, bandit-like fellow, after measuring with a ruler, couldn't help but shout and give orders.

Hearing such an order from him, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the two armies, eight shells like meteors could not help but draw a beautiful parabola in the sky with unimaginable power, and smashed into the barracks of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers with a hiss.

"Bang !!" A deafening sound rang out from the barracks. A bullet of iron cannonballs like meteors, under the gaze of tens of thousands of black-clothed soldiers, couldn't help but show their strength so clearly and clearly to their former makers, the Yuanmeng court.

Although it is said that eight shells only knocked down two trebuchets, it is nothing to the officers and soldiers who have more than 30 trebuchets. But the dozens of corpses with bloody limbs and blurred flesh brought by these eight shells made all the officers and soldiers fear in their hearts.

"Bang bang bang~~" But for a moment, before the officers and soldiers had time to suppress the fear in their hearts, the loud sound of artillery rang out again, and the shells like meteors couldn't help but smash into the dense formation of the officers and soldiers with unstoppable force again.

"Ah!!h The creepy screams rang out again, and the eight shells were like the scythes of death. Although it is said that because of the limitation of the number of artillery, the number of anti-personnel officers and soldiers is not large. But the shock brought by those torn limbs and broken arms still made the iron-beaten man frightened.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The black-clothed thieves only have eight cannons, and we have tens of thousands of people, even if we stand still and let them fight, they will ......"

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the head of the morale-boosting hundred-household official couldn't help but fall apart like a broken watermelon.

And seeing this scene happen in front of his eyes like this, under the cowardice in his heart, some officers and soldiers couldn't help but turn around and start to flee for their lives. Although these people were killed by the Overseers behind the battle in the next moment, the panic was still getting stronger and stronger.

……

"Father, we can't go on like this, we can't fight like this, and it won't be long before we will break down without a fight, father!" On that high platform, Polo looked at the loss of Badulu, and couldn't help but be full of worry.

When Badulu heard this, he clenched his fists, and after taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but look at Song Yanjie beside him and asked, "Yanjie, do you have any methods and strategies?" ”

"Marshal, the more we are at this time, the less we can take the initiative. There are only eight black-clothed thieves with artillery, and even if their trebuchets are added, the killing and wounding of our army is only a few dozen at a time. The killing or wounding of a few dozen people is nothing to our army. Even if the black-clothed thieves ran out of shells and smashed the trebuchets, they would only kill and wound more than a thousand people to our army. The killing or wounding of more than 1,000 people is nothing to our army. ”

"So Marshal, we must not fall for the Tartars' trick to lure the enemy, and we must not give up the fortifications that we have built with great difficulty these days."

"Mr. Song said it easily, but if it continues like this, the courage in the hearts of the soldiers will be wiped out by the black-clothed thieves. If you don't have the courage in your heart, how can you fight? With such an angry roar, Polo couldn't help but turn his gaze to the answer to Badulu.

When Badulu heard his son's words, his eyes couldn't help but be a little shaken.

"Marshal, when you are constantly in turmoil, you can't send troops for the decisive battle at this time. Once the troops were dispatched, we were led away by the black-clothed thieves outside the camp. The two armies are fighting against each other, and what they are fighting for is the initiative in the battle, and now we are defending and attacking, and it is not easy to grasp part of the initiative into our own hands, and we must not be tempted by thieves at this time, and lose all the initiative. ”

"If we are worried that the soldiers will lose their courage if they are beaten passively, then we can also temporarily let the soldiers outside the camp take refuge in the excavation of the trench and build the excavation wall by the way, and give up those trebuchets that will inevitably be broken by the thieves. The 10,000 soldiers outside the camp took refuge behind the earthen wall, and the rest of the soldiers could temporarily take refuge behind the camp wall, which not only minimized the damage, but also allowed the soldiers to maintain their morale and physical strength. ”

"When the time comes, when the thieves attack, we can also use these fortifications to fight the thieves. So this is the best solution for our army, not to take the initiative to attack. Song Yanjie said these words word by word, and his tone was full of undoubted taste.

"Yes, Yanjie, you're right. Come, pass the order to go down, abandon all trebuchets, and let the soldiers on the front line take refuge behind the earthen walls. After being silent for a while, Badulu finally followed Song Yanjie's advice.

When the generals around Badulu heard this, they sang a fat promise, and they couldn't help but go down to prepare for the first time.

……

"The marshal gave the order to abandon the trebuchet, and all the soldiers outside the battalion immediately moved behind the earthen wall; The marshal had an order to abandon the trebuchet, and all the soldiers immediately moved behind the earthen wall; Immediately after moving to the earthen wall, hurry up! "A herald carrying a command flag shouted over and over again on the front line at the risk of being beaten into meat sauce by boulders and cannonballs falling from the sky.

Hearing the roars of these heralds, the thousands of officers and soldiers outside the camp couldn't help but take refuge in large groups on the side of the earthen wall under the command of the generals.

This earthen wall was piled up by the officers and soldiers when they were digging a trench, so this earthen wall is almost nearly two meters high, not to mention, and it is quite thick and long. It was thought that this earthen wall should be the first mixed line of defense against the attack of the black-clad army, but he did not think that after the battle began, this earthen wall would become the most important refuge.

A soldier with his back against the continuous earthen wall, although he could not observe the movement of the black-clothed army in the first place, the black-clothed army's shells could no longer hurt them.

……

"Knock knock!" Outside the camp, artillery roared for a long time. When all the trebuchets on the side of the officers and soldiers were smashed to pieces, and several extremely unlucky arrow towers were also destroyed, the deafening sound of artillery finally stopped.

"All the soldiers of the army, listen to my military orders, kill the Tartar !!" Zhang Shihua, who was standing on horseback, pointed at the enemy camp and couldn't help but roar like this.

And hearing Zhang Shihua's roar, thousands of black-clothed soldiers shouted, "Kill the Tartar!" He also carried the earthen bags that had been prepared before the battle, pushed the trench bridge specially used to cross the trench, and held the wooden curtain to guard against the enemy's arrows, and roared towards the enemy not far away.

……

"Brethren, the thief is coming. Give me arrows, kill the thief! On the side of the officers and soldiers, hearing the deafening roar of the black-clothed army when they charged, the officers and soldiers hiding behind the earthen wall couldn't help but quickly organize a formation under the command of their respective generals, and jumped onto another earthen step nearly one meter high behind the earthen wall that was specially used to assist the officers and soldiers in their defense.

Get ready for the most brutal of all-of-the-box battles.
