"One step, two steps,"

Facing the attack of the Wang army, Liu Fool walked more than 100 steps in the entire forward battalion, if it was usual, the distance of more than 100 steps might have passed in the blink of an eye, but on this battlefield, they slowly walked half a pillar of incense, that is, about fifteen minutes.

Finally, with a long piercing copper whistle into their ears, all the soldiers of the forward battalion were nervous, they knew that the most dangerous time had finally come, for these soldiers of the Shaanxi Ming Army, the swords and swords on the battlefield were not terrible, the most terrible thing was the wide trench in the attack, and the ubiquitous traps, although this kind of thing did not have much lethality, but the deterrent power was relatively large, so, for these things, it was also the most feared place for the soldiers in all siege warfare, It is also because of the existence of this kind of thing that there is always a trace of jealousy in the hearts of the soldiers, and they cannot fight wholeheartedly.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the trenches and traps in the siege war to the greatest extent, there is the existence of the pioneer battalion, they have the best armor, in order to pave the way for their comrades, and eliminate all the trenches and traps on the charging road, and only in this way can the Shaanxi Ming army be able to have no worries in the next attack, and only need to fight with the Wang family.

As soon as I thought of the long copper whistle, although Liu Fool and his comrades-in-arms were careful enough, but after walking not far, he felt that one foot was empty, and his body suddenly staggered, and he wanted to fall to the side. The place that used to be the size of two rooms next to it, which looked very flat, now collapsed with a bang.

This is a trap to kill the attacking enemy soldiers, the whole pit is about a man deep, and the bottom of the pit is full of sharp wood and iron rods that stand upside down. What makes people feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and what makes Liu Fool and the Ming army around him feel even more uncomfortable is that there are now several Ming soldiers in the pit, except for two who have been pierced through the body by the sharp wood and died tragically on the spot, the remaining few people have escaped this catastrophe by relying on the convenience of the heavy armor on their bodies, but they are just not dead, and they have been seriously injured.

A huge pit. If it was before, at least dozens or even hundreds of enemies would have been killed, and the Shaanxi Ming army only killed and wounded a few people, so that the army avoided many losses, which is already very good, but seeing the tragic situation of the comrades in the pit, the anger in the hearts of Liu Fool and others became stronger, but they could only helplessly turn around and continue to attack in front. It's not that they don't care about their comrades-in-arms, it's that now is not a good time to save their comrades. When the army launches an attack, there will be special soldiers who come to their rescue, which is also the key to the Shaanxi Ming army being so not afraid of death, thanks to Shi Lei's experience from later generations, every time the Shaanxi Ming army goes to war. will be equipped with a large number of doctors, although these doctors are not as meticulous as the field hospitals in later generations, but in this era of war, even eating is a problem. Which force can have the same kung fu as the Shaanxi Ming Army to control the life and death of a wounded soldier?

Rearrange the formation, continue to advance the Ming army forward battalion, change the passive forward just now, since they have entered the enemy's pit, then they do not need to be passively beaten, just see the Ming army in the rear, ignite the fire fold on the body, and then see a group of people from the body out of the huge grenades, ignited, on the way forward, frantically thrown, the grenade is not thrown indiscriminately with the battlefield, but from in front of them, from near to far, slowly forward.

This is the forward battalion has come in many times to sum up the experience, if you only rely on them to explore the way, I am afraid that the soldiers have died before they have finished probing, so, in order to avoid the innocent death of soldiers to the greatest extent, they thought of using the explosive power of grenades to collapse the pit, you know, most of the pits are not very strong, a few people step on it, they will collapse, otherwise, if the bearing force is too strong, it is not a pit, but a cave.

In view of the shortcomings of the pit, the Ming army in Shaanxi came up with this method, of course, the grenades they use now are specially developed, and the power is nearly twice as large as the grenades used by ordinary troops, and it is precisely for this reason that although these grenades are powerful, they are not thrown far.

For other Ming troops, this kind of grenade is of little use, but for his pioneer battalion, this is really their treasure, wave after wave of lengthened, thickened and thickened grenades are thrown out, accompanied by a huge 'boom, boom, boom' explosion, to the delight of the pioneer battalion soldiers, this method is very successful, in this almost Tianwei-like existence, one by one huge pits, leaking their true colors.

The huge power and roar of the grenade, not only the pit that Wang Jun finally arranged down did useless work, but also made many Wang soldiers have a fear of emotion, I have to say, the huge shock brought by the grenade, although compared to the artillery, it is still inferior, but you must know that the artillery for the current battlefield, so little how cherished things, in addition, although the power of the artillery is huge, it can be troublesome to operate, but the grenade does not have this constraint, he can bomb continuously, and can also be used together.

Seeing the power of the grenade in front of him, many of Wang Jun's side could even think that if this kind of thing landed on his body, he was afraid that he would not even be able to find the bones, how could this kind of big killing weapon not make the enemy feel frightened.

Not only the soldiers of the Wang Army felt frightened and shocked, but even the W Revenge and the generals of the Wang family, who had been standing at the head of the city, were also full of timidity, and what made them timid was not only the power of the grenade, but also the terrifying fighting spirit of the Ming army, although they had been listening to the soldiers of the Ming Army who were brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death, and the Ming Army in Shaanxi was well-armed, and they didn't take it seriously at all, but after seeing it today, there was one sentence left in everyone's minds, it was better to be famous than to meet. Meeting is better than being famous.

Think about it, in the face of their 50,000 troops, only 2,000 Ming soldiers dared to rush over without hesitation, and in the case of continuous casualties and trapping to block the attack. They continued to attack so fiercely and fearlessly, but it was much more powerful than the rumors.

"General, if we let them go on like this, I'm afraid that the pits and trenches we have worked so hard will be completely destroyed by them, if by that time, the remaining Ming army will be able to rush in front of us without any resistance, in that case, we will become very passive." See the forward battalion of the Ming army continuing to advance. A general of the royal army at the head of the city said to W Fuchen.

Although most of the merchants in Shanxi are famous for slamming the door, when it is related to their lives, they are still very generous, and the food, equipment, salary and other things of the 50,000 army under the W Fuchen have already been prepared, and in order to defend Hongdong County to the greatest extent. They also mobilized twenty artillery pieces for the W Auxiliary to use to defend the city, of course. These twenty cannons are neither the Fran cannons nor the Manchu cannons, but the cannons made by the Ming Dynasty generals, although this kind of cannon is far worse than the Fran cannon and the red-coated cannon, but this is also a cannon, isn't it, there is always a little deterrent.

Hearing the words of this general, W Fuchen was also depressed in his heart. Originally, although he didn't have much hope for defending Hongdong County, at least he also thought that with his 50,000 troops to block the enemy's 20,000 people, he could also block it for a while, but he never thought that the first day of the offensive and defensive battle. The trenches and pits that he had dug with great effort and great effort had to be cracked, and if so, they would have to fight hard with the Ming army.

Thinking of the rabble under his command, fighting with the Ming army on the opposite side who are not afraid of death, I know what the end will be with my ass, so the best way now is to quickly destroy the Ming army that destroyed the pits and trenches, and only in this way can we avoid the Ming army from attacking, but seeing the thin camp of the Ming army's forward battalion in front of him, W Fuchen hesitated again, not to mention whether these Ming troops can be eliminated after the cannon, if it is only for these two thousand people, I'm afraid that he won't have the face to lead the troops in the future.

In the end, after thinking for a long time, W Fuchen still overpowered everything, of course, W Fuchen was not just worried about face, he thought more far, if he fired at this time, then the already lost military heart will become even more lost, and even the military spirit will be weakened because of this, if that is really the case, he will not have to fight, just surrender or commit suicide.

"Governor, do you think this W auxiliary minister will jump over the wall in a hurry and shoot at it!" Just when W Fuchen was hesitating here, the Ming army in Shaanxi was in position, so the soldiers were also nervously looking at the comrades-in-arms who fought bravely in front of them and paved the way for them. And after seeing the grenade thrown by the Ming army, Wang Jun's extremely flustered appearance, Gao Ligong asked Dong Qi beside him, with the ventilation report from Wang Dengku and others, not to mention artillery, it was a more secret situation, they all knew.

"Hahaha, General Gao rest assured, with the character of W Fuchen, he will not open fire, because he knows that now is not the time to finally reveal the capital, you know, the Wang army on the opposite side is not like our Ming army, after falling into a crisis, they will fight to the death, for most of the soldiers of the Wang army, they are just a mess, as long as they are in trouble, they will not resist desperately, but surrender or flee, artillery is the last sharp weapon on the opposite side, if this sharp weapon is used just in battle, then Wang Jun's military spirit may have been completely scattered, in that case, as long as the whole army charges strongly, we can take down this Hongdong County in one go, so W Fuchen definitely did not use this kind of stupid trick. Hearing Gao Ligong's question, Dong Qi on the side opened his mouth and said, after such a period of experience, Dong Qi has completely changed from a hairy boy to a qualified commander, and the combination of family experience and reality has allowed him to grow up quickly, which is also the reason why Shi Lei can rest assured that he can lead the troops.

The various thoughts of the generals on both sides of the enemy and the enemy, now can not affect the mood of the soldiers who are sitting the battlefield, while using grenades to clean up the trenches around them, the Ming soldiers of the forward battalion also pay attention to this foot, as mentioned earlier, defending the city is a very huge siege city, all aspects are to be thought of, on the road to Hongdong County, there are not only traps and trenches, but also a certain number of triphorse ropes and thistles thorns, these are mainly aimed at the tools of the enemy cavalry.

Cavalry as the king of ancient cold weapons, that is quite powerful, many ancient wars, thousands of soldiers to break through the enemy's tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, most of them are cavalry in the face of infantry to sit down, although the war horse has a strong role in the war, but the Central Plains since ancient times war horses are very rare, before the Northern and Southern Dynasties are better, at least with the Hetao Plain, a natural pasture, the Central Plains war horses can still meet the needs, but after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the Hetao Plain is becoming more and more desolate, Even many times it was not in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty at all, so the war horse became a scarce resource, which led to the Central Plains Dynasty, which had been attacking, became a relatively defensive court, and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, even a bunch of bunkers were built on the border to guard against the Mongols.

But this is not a problem for Shaanxi at all, after controlling the Tumut tribe and the two Mongolian tribes of the Su and Anhui tribes, Shaanxi's war horses can be regarded as a steady supply of troops, although the Mongolian horses are inferior to the Liaodong war horses used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, both in size and combat power, but this is also a war horse, the Mongols fought all over Asia, relying on this kind of war horse, therefore, the proportion of cavalry in the army of the Ming army in Shaanxi is very high, like this time, the 20,000 troops led by Dong Qi, Among them, 10,000 are cavalry, this is because they mainly attack the city all the way, and it is not easy to use more cavalry, if it is a surprise attack or field battle, the cavalry of the Ming army is even stronger.

W Fuchen also understood this, he laid so many tripwires and thistles on the road, in order to prevent the Ming cavalry from carrying out large-scale raids, for the cavalry, those trenches and trenches are a bit inconspicuous, Dong Qi is also because of the discovery of these, he ordered the forward battalion to pave the road, otherwise the cavalry rushed up directly, I am afraid that the Wang army would have already fled.
