Peng Yue climbed the city tower and couldn't help but sigh that the ancient Chinese city walls were built really well, especially Datong, a military town, almost gathered the essence of ancient Chinese city wall construction. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Speaking of the tower in the center of the city gate, the wall is tall and wide. There is also a protruding wall platform on the outside, which interacts with the city wall to eliminate dead spots under the city, and can attack the enemy from three sides from top to bottom. There is also an enemy tower built on the wall, which can be used to station troops and store weapons. In addition, there are wide ring roads and climbing roads inside the city walls.

"Lord Zeng, I don't have much ammunition for this artillery, but there are too many enemy troops, so we still have to make more preparations to prevent the enemy from attacking the city." , Peng Yue reminded with some apprehension, according to this view, the ammunition he brought was indeed a little less.

"Don't worry about this, I'm ready. There are a lot of stone cannon carts and giant bows and crossbows used to defend the city in this Datong City...", Zeng Mian said with a smile, "It's just that my artillery here... It's really far from Master Peng's, the accuracy is too low, and the power is too small, it's too troublesome to change shells, and the enemy cavalry moves too fast, and the battle is scattered, so it's not so convenient to use..."

Peng Yue couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he didn't expect that the development of this artillery was not perfect, and the role of cold weapons when defending the city was not as great as that of cold weapons.

"Lord Zeng, there are too many enemy troops this time, it must be inevitable, they should also bring siege firearms, right?" , Peng Yue asked.

"This is very likely...", Zeng Mo was also vigilant, "Ordinary firearms are not suitable for defending the city, but they are suitable for attacking the city, if they use firearms when attacking the city, then the casualties will naturally increase." When the time comes, they will take the opportunity to use the ladder to climb the city... It's a bit of a hassle..."

"I'm not referring to that, I'm talking about whether they're going to blast the gates open with artillery. And then...", Peng Yue remembered in the ancient war. The besieging side always tried their best to break through the gates and enter the city.

"There's no need to worry about this, this method can be used in other places, but it can't be used in Datong City...", Zeng Mo said with a smile, "I have set up an urn city outside the gate of Datong City, which is as tall and thick as the city wall, extremely strong, and only one door remains." Even if they breached the city of urns. But the city is so small that it is not practical to use firearms. And the Tartars will not be able to enter on a large scale, and will only be attacked from all sides, and I will ambush many crossbowmen and stone artillery wagons there. ”

Peng Yue was shocked, the ancient city building protection technology is too strong, this city gate can't be opened, the city wall looks several meters thick, not to mention the matter of blasting, plus the firearms he brought. It seems that this time I will definitely be defeated.

Peng Yue stood on the tower of the city at this time and found that things were not as simple as he imagined. Although the Altan troops suffered heavy losses, a large force still approached the tower, and most of them were skilled in horsemanship. Super mobile.

I saw that flying stones, incendiary bombs, and arrows fired from giant bows and crossbows were constantly being thrown down from the castle tower. But there were still some cavalry galloping and shuttling, firing arrows at the towers. Shot and killed many of the soldiers defending the city.

And the shells fired downward by the cannon are more effective than flying rocks and other objects. But after all, this kind of close-range firing, the artillery with higher accuracy is less powerful, and the cavalry is scattered and has strong mobility, so there are still not many people killed

Seeing this, Peng Yue said to Zeng Miao: "The enemy will definitely have infantry attacking, if our shells are too dense at this time, then the infantry troops should not approach, right?" It is better for us to suspend the artillery fire first, draw the enemy's infantry units over, and then concentrate on destroying them. ”

"That's the truth, but as soon as the artillery fire stops, the enemy's cavalry will pour in, and their archery skills will be superb, and then the soldiers defending the city will suffer, and it is estimated that even the soldiers who fired cannonballs will not have a chance to raise their heads and fire. At this time, the enemy's troops will also rush over, and their ballistae and siege equipment will also be transported, which will be even more troublesome at that time. Zeng Mo explained to Peng Yue.

Only then did Peng Yue realize that fighting a war was not as simple as he imagined, and he thought that with a few high-performance weapons, everything would be fine. Of course, if they could change to a large number of modern weapons at this time, my troops probably didn't even know how they died. But now the number of slightly more advanced firearms that I have brought with me is pitiful, let alone equipped with modern weapons.

"That's not as good as this, the artillery I brought here is more lethal. First suppress the cavalry with crossbow arrows, throwing stones, etc., and when their infantry comes closer, I will use the artillery I brought to destroy them all. Peng Yue can only think of such a method now, after all, with such a dense fire suppression, the enemy infantry will definitely not come over, but his own artillery ammunition will be gone after a while, and at that time, the enemy infantry will come over again, but they will be helpless.

"That's fine." , Zeng Mo couldn't think of a better way in a panic, so he could only follow Peng Yue's suggestion.

So Peng Yue hurriedly ran down the city tower, and Zeng Mian hurriedly called Wang Huan and a few shield soldiers to protect him.

"The enemy forces are too flexible and scattered, and if they attack with artillery, they hit too few targets and waste too much ammunition. In this attack, there will definitely be a large number of infantry to assist in the back, leaving the ammunition behind, and attacking the infantry with all their strength for a while. Peng Yue squatted behind the city wall and said to the artillerymen.

"Okay, my lord, it's true that there is not much ammunition...", said the artilleryman as he also lay down behind the gun and hid.

Peng Yue's suggestion really worked, when the artillery stopped, the flying stones and crossbow arrows could not stop the cavalry attack at all, and the cavalry under the city gathered more and more, but they were very scattered, and they were really cunning.

"Ahh If you look closely, some of the stumps and severed arms are still flying in the air mixed with blood.

"Didn't I tell you not to fire artillery yet?" Peng Yue looked at the artilleryman angrily.

"I didn't fire," said the artilleryman, somewhat aggrieved.

"Haha... This is the Tseng mine I invented. At this time, Zeng Mo had come down from the city tower, dressed in armor, and he was really burly.

"Oh... So that's the case...", Peng Yue suddenly remembered this matter, it turned out that the power of this mine was not small.

"I buried some gunpowder in a dug hole and covered it with sand to make it level with the ground. And ambush the fire rope in a place where it is not easy to see on the ground, when the horse touches the fire rope, it will explode... It's just that this time I buried a little more gunpowder. Zeng Mill said, stroking his beard and laughing.

Peng Yue couldn't help but secretly admire Zeng Milling, this person is good at managing the army, but he didn't expect to have such attainments in the study of firearms, he is really a rare military wizard. (To be continued.) )
