The surging river slapping against the reef on the shore, mixed with the sound of cannons from the head of Bali Town, makes people's hearts surge.

The defenders in Bali Town really cheered for victory, but Xiao Xuan's side was not disappointed, and the soldiers were high-spirited because of this small setback. The army is a monster fed by constant victory, and the previous series of great victories have made this army very resilient.

Xiao Xuan pointed to the brief map she drew casually by the light, and saw that most of the generals did not understand, and compared it to Bali Town, explained, "You see that there is a deep ditch under the head of this city, and there are two arrow towers on the city wall behind, and there must be hidden soldier holes on both sides of the female wall, which are heavily guarded, and the city wall is so big, our people can't spread it, and the defenders inside are the same, so they built hidden soldier holes on both sides."

Behind the city wall, there is an inner wall, on which there are the defenders' Franco cannons and bed crossbows, only then Cao Bianjiao led the vanguard to attack from the narrow outer wall, first killed many faces and caught off guard to take the city, but did not expect that there were heavy soldiers guarding the hidden soldiers on both sides of the cave, and failed to completely capture the outer city, and opened the city gate.

When the defenders of the city fully reacted, they would not only have to face a dense queue of infantry. With the short weapons of light armor and blades, it is naturally hard to fight against the infantry ranks, and it is a live target at the head of the city, and it has been killed and injured by the arrow towers on both sides, and the cannons and arrows of the Franc machine on the inner city, and you have all seen with your own eyes!"

Seeing that everyone was pondering, Xiao Xuan said again: "But this kind of humble earth city is different from the city. The inner and outer cities are conducive to the defenders to concentrate more troops and pile them at the head of the city. Even if we attack the outer city in one fell swoop, it will not be able to hold in the end, and will be driven down by powerful artillery fire.

But its weakness is also obvious, after all, it is a temporary earthen city, not as high and strong as the city walls, and this kind of defense is very consuming of troops, and the casualties of the defenders are definitely not less than our army.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is surrounded by water on three sides, there is only a narrow path, and with water on three sides, our army can directly besiege it, so that they should be overwhelmed and easily broken! Even then we can drag them to death! ”

If the commander is reluctant to consume the lives of his soldiers because of mercy, which leads to failure, it is unacceptable to the whole army.

"This place can't carry siege equipment, it's too far away from the city wall and the cannons can't reach it, the red-clothed cannons we are waiting for are too heavy, and they can't be transported to the path to bombard the city, plus due to the terrain restrictions, they can only attack from this one place, and the defenders of Yangzhou on the opposite side are dense, and it is not easy to fight down!" The generals present kept coming up with ideas.

"Then let the soldiers wear a few more layers of heavy armor, and let's forcibly attack the city with arrows! So many of our high cities have been captured, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that a soil city can still stop us! ”

Xiao Xuan shook his head and vetoed, "It's not okay just like this, it's just that the arrows are okay, and the soldiers can still defend by wearing a few layers of heavy armor, but the defenders have bed crossbows and Franc machine guns, so it's definitely not appropriate for us to rush over in a line like this!" ”

The Franc cannon is bought from the West during the Jiajing period and imitated the artillery, the Ming Dynasty and its own successive imitation of different sizes and models of various Franc machines, equipped with the northern and coastal armies, Qi Jiguang in the "Actual Record of Military Training, Franc Machine Map", recorded that the mother gun length is five feet, four feet, three and a half feet, three feet, two feet and a half, two feet and other six specifications of the Franc machine, the first three are large, the second two are medium-sized, and the last one is small. The large Franc aircraft are used to equip warships and border passes, the medium-sized Franc aircraft is carried on a vehicle and can be used for mobile combat with the army, and the small Franc aircraft can be used as artillery.

At this time, there was a small Franc machine at the head of Bali Town, this kind of artillery was powerless for siege, but it was used for defense, especially in this narrow place, it was undoubtedly a sharp weapon.

And the red-clothed cannon in Xiao Xuan's hand is actually the Hongyi cannon, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" records the Hongyi cannon: "The Atlantic ship arrives, and the summer has a hundred cannons, and it is called Hongyi." After the craftsman restructured, the cannon length is more than two zhang, the heavy one is 10,000 catties, and it can crack the stone city and shake dozens of miles. Of course, this is the Spring and Autumn brushwork of the literati, just like a round one-shot erosion for dozens of miles! The Hongyi cannons in Xiao Xuan's hands are all heavy artillery on the head of Nanjing, with a body length of more than two zhang and a weight of more than 10,000 catties, while the heaviest Franc cannon is only more than 1,000 catties, Xiao Sui can't transport the red-coated cannon at all!

"General Xiao, let me lead people to rush again, the last general will definitely take Bali Town this time!" Cao Bianjiao hurried over covered in blood.

"General Xiao Cao has done well enough tonight, you don't have to blame yourself for not winning this battle, go down to heal and recuperate first, at this time it is dark and not conducive to attacking the city, let's wait until dawn to fight!" Xiao Xuan reassured.

"The last general obeys!" Cao Bianjiao replied with a clenched fist in a muffled voice, standing aside and not speaking again, but he was unwilling to go down to heal.

Xiao Xuan said again: "General Cao must have defeated the Yangzhou cavalry, and the two major threats to prevent us from attacking Yangzhou have been eliminated, and the biggest one is not enough to stop us alone."

I intend to send 2,000 soldiers to garrison here, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for the defenders of Bali Town, why is this not the case, they can't get out if they block this path! Then send 3,000 cavalry to monitor and prevent the defenders of Bali Town from attacking our army by boat, and then our army fought steadily, transported all the food and ordnance to the city of Yangzhou, and then attacked Yangzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Sui was full of confidence, "This is Yangmou, I want to see if the Yangzhou defenders are squatting in the city waiting for death, or if they want to go out of the city to fight our army!" We have time and them to consume, and we have to thank Yangzhou for sending us millions of stone of grain! ”

The generals laughed loudly, and when they heard that Xiao Sui had a way to deal with it, they suddenly felt a little more confident, and the commander was confident that they would naturally feel at ease!

"Okay, everyone is tired all night, after going down to arm, let's go to rest!" Xiao Xuan waved his hand to let the generals retreat.

Yang Su was frowning and looking at Bali Town at this time, Xiao Sui saw this, walked up to Yang Su and said with concern: "Brother Yang, are you worried about the pressure from inside and outside?" ”

Allowing such a large group of rogues to ravage in the south of the Yangtze River, the forbidden army was useless, and Yang Su refused to transfer troops to suppress it, so the pressure was naturally heavy. The war in Yangzhou was just the beginning, and Yang Su wanted to clean up Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces in one fell swoop.

Xiao Sui's method is very safe and no problem, but Yang Su considers different aspects. He just asks for fast, and the loss to the Ming Dynasty is the smallest! Do not drain your own blood to death because you want to cut off the carrion of your body.

"If it is late, there will be changes, if the court is unstable, any bull, ghost, snake and god will take the opportunity to make trouble!" Yang Su pointed to Bali Town and said, "Bali Town is difficult to fight because of the terrain restrictions and the city wall, I have a way to break it!" ”

The little girl who sells arms ...... "RPG, RPG, the latest Barrett, this gentleman, you can buy one!" "The little girl's bare feet had turned purple from the cold, but she had not eaten all day, and if she could not sell another single munition, she would starve to death. The man who rushed home for the New Year shook his head with a smile, because these "toys" were too expensive. The little girl curled up in the corner, remembered her grandmother, took out an AKM, withdrew the bullet, and took it apart and lit the gunpowder, which would warm her up a little. The little girl took out a red button from the pocket of her tattered dress and remembered what her grandmother had said that this button would bring happiness. She pressed it without hesitation, and a huge mushroom bloomed on the earth, and on this day, countless people saw their grandmother.
