Hearing Fu Mingcheng's worries, Fang Xiaoyu was not too worried, he smiled: "Are today's four-corner nails easy to use?" Fu Mingcheng said with a smile: "It's very useful, today there are four corner nails to delay the opponent's charging speed, at least let us kill thousands of more Monte soldiers, and make many Monte soldiers become lame, if it continues like this, in a few days the Monte soldiers will attack with crutches." ”

In order to enliven the dull atmosphere, Fu Mingcheng made a rare joke. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It's easy to use, I'm sending a few people out to spread more at night." Fu Mingcheng shook his head and said: "No need, the enemy will definitely be on guard tomorrow, we might as well bury more mines." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "You are the commander of the North Gate, you are up to decide, I don't know what kind of mood Bayanger will be in now." ”

"Smack." With a bang, Bayanger threw the casualty report on the ground and roared: "What's going on, how can the casualties be so big." The twenty captains all bowed their heads and did not dare to look into Bayange's eyes. The adjutant picked up the casualty report and carefully placed it on Bayange's desk.

He glanced at it secretly, and it was written that more than 17,000 people had died and more than 31,000 had been injured. Bayang said: "Why are today's casualties so big? One of his closest confidants, the commander, said: "Marshal Qiyu, today is mainly the other side used some secret weapons, first in the morning they used a spike sprinkled on the ground to make many soldiers stab in the foot during the charge, stopped, they used this opportunity to shoot many soldiers, and many of the wounded soldiers were also stabbed in the foot. Then there was the city wall that was blown down in the afternoon, and they used an explosive ordnance to kill a large number of our infantry under the city, which is why there were such high casualties. ”

Bayang roared: "It's only been a few days, and almost 50,000 people have died, and nearly 70,000 people are wounded. The captain corrected: "Marshal, many wounded soldiers are only slightly wounded, and they can still continue to fight. And the other party must not have many of these secret weapons, otherwise they would have used them in the first few days. Now their city walls are obviously no longer able to support them, and I believe that as long as we concentrate artillery bombardment tomorrow, we will definitely be able to collapse the city walls, and then our numerical superiority will be brought into play. ”

Hearing that what the other party said was reasonable, Marshal Bayange's anger calmed down a little, and he nodded and said: "Okay, let the soldiers rest well, and tomorrow the whole army will go out to fight to the death." Seeing that Bayange had asked them to go back, the captains all breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bowed and retreated.

The fierce fighting during the day consumed too much physical strength of the Monte soldiers, and most of them quickly entered their dreams after dinner, and at this time, on the mountain ten miles away, Zhang Zhonglin was marking the information reported by the scouts on the map by the faint candlelight.

"That's it." Zhang Zhonglin patted his thigh and said, "Gather immediately, it's time for us to work." The soldiers who had been resting immediately gathered, and Battalion Commander Gao Hong asked, "Regiment Commander, how can we fight?" Zhang Zhonglin said with a smile: "The enemy's artillery is too strict, we don't have a chance, it's better for us not to blow up the cannon." ”

Gao Hong was puzzled: "Regiment commander, isn't our main task to blow up the cannon?" What are we going to do if we don't go? Zhang Zhonglin said with a smile: "Our troops are divided into three routes, and your three battalion commanders will each lead one road and act separately." Zhang Zhonglin assigned the task in a whisper, and then the three battalions acted separately, and he followed the first battalion together.

Chen Fei, the commander of the third battalion, led his troops to cautiously approach the vicinity of the granary of the Monte army, perhaps because he did not pay attention to the grain, or perhaps because he thought that the Lan Fang army could not threaten them in the city, and the guards here were not tight. A company commander crawled to Chen Fei's side and whispered: "Battalion commander, there is the camp of the Monte Army nearby, there must be a lot of vegetable oil for cooking, let's get it over and splash it on the granary." ”

Chen Fei said: "Yes, today's wind is very strong, it must be terrible to burn, you take someone to get more vegetable oil." The company commander smiled and nodded, and then prostrate away. More than half an hour later, the company commander came back again, and he said softly: "These Monte cubs sleep like dead pigs, we have solved them with bayonets, they don't have vegetable oil here, but there is a lot of butter and mutton fat boiled out, and I have made more than a dozen large barrels." Chen Fei smiled: "Great, I'll go back and give you a big credit." ”

I don't know if I was lazy to hide in the leeward place to sleep, or not at all, anyway, there were no guards at the gate of the grain depot camp of the Monte army, and there were only a few guards next to a few granaries inside the grain depot, and the fierce fighting during the day had made these guards very tired, even if they were standing guard, most of them had their backs to the granary, pestle and pestle and napping.

The soldiers of the third battalion silently used bayonets to eliminate several guards in succession, and were finally discovered by a guard who was about to get up and urinate at night. "Who, come out quickly, if you don't come out, I'll shoot." The Monte soldier shouted and raised his gun.

Chen Fei, the commander of the third battalion, saw that the sneak attack could not be successful, and immediately ordered: "Shoot and shoot, quickly occupy the granary, and the troops behind immediately pour all the oil on the granary." The sound of gunfire quickly alarmed the entire Monte camp, and Bayanger, who had just fallen asleep, was also awakened, and he asked the guards who had just come in, "What happened outside?" The guard replied, "There is a lot of gunfire at the grain depot, as if there is a fight." ”

"Oops, there is Lan Fangjun who wants to burn grain." Bayange reacted quickly, and he immediately ordered the adjutant who had just walked in: "Hurry up and let people go to support the grain depot." The Monte army gathered its forces in a panic, and several tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the direction of the grain depot, and at this time, the few guards of the grain depot had already been killed by the three battalions.

Chen Fei, the commander of the third battalion, shouted: "Quick, quickly pour all the oil, hurry up and light the fire, the reinforcements of the Monte soldiers will come soon." After listening to the words of the battalion commander, the soldiers accelerated their movements, and the granaries burned one after another, seeing that most of the granaries were already on fire, Chen Fei immediately ordered: "Everyone retreat quickly and retreat to the mountains to the north." ”

The Monte reinforcements, who were still on the way to reinforce in the distance, saw that the grain depot was on fire, and they ran here in a hurry, but the wind was too strong tonight, and the fire spread quickly with the help of the wind, and the solidified butter and mutton fat slowly melted and burned under the high temperature flame, which added to the fire.

By the time those Monte soldiers came here, the fire was out of control, the burning grain made a crackling sound, and the huge fire made people feel a wave of heat coming from afar, and several captains saw that the fire was uncontrollable for a while, and immediately ordered the soldiers to rescue food from several granaries with smaller fires.

Just as the Monte soldiers were rescuing the food, a huge explosion resounded in the sky, knocking the Monte soldiers to the ground who were caught off guard. Chen Fei, the commander of the third battalion, who was observing the enemy situation on the mountain, slapped his thigh with joy and said: "Great, the second battalion has also succeeded, and now the Monte army has no ammunition if they want to attack the city." ”

Zhang Zhonglin, who was lying in ambush outside the Monte artillery position, saw that the Monte camp was in a panic, and no one noticed it anymore, so he immediately ordered: "All sorts out, occupy the artillery position, everyone prepare grenades, and destroy all the artillery." ”

The soldiers of the first battalion received the order and rushed forward with rifles, most of the Monte infantry went to put out the fire, there were not many guards on the artillery position, and it was dark, and they were not discovered by the sentries until the soldiers of the first battalion rushed closer.

After a brief encounter, the already weak defenders were completely wiped out, and the soldiers pulled the grenade open the fuse and threw it into the barrel, which exploded and could no longer be used. After the soldiers quickly did all this, they evacuated under the leadership of Zhang Zhonglin and rushed to the predetermined joint location, and when the Monte reinforcements arrived at the artillery position, there was no longer a single artillery that could be used.

Bayange, who was still wearing pajamas, received reports from all sides one after another, the grain was burned, and only a small part was snatched out; The munitions camp was bombed, most of the munitions were destroyed, and the Monte army had no ammunition to replenish except for its own ammunition; What shocked him the most was that the artillery positions were attacked, and all the artillery was scrapped.

The Monte Empire itself could not forge cannons, and the Cossack Empire that supported them did not sell them artillery, and the more than 100 cannons captured from the Lanfang Army were treasured by Bayange. If he has these artillery, his voice in the army will be greatly increased, even if he does not win this battle, he has the qualification to become the highest real power figure in the army, but with the destruction of these artillery, his hopes are also dashed, thinking that he has paid such a big casualty but can't take a small city guarded by the logistics troops of the Lanfang Army, he must have no good fruit to eat when he goes back.

Marshal Bayanger sat there, his mouth was bitter, he had already won a big victory and had a bright future, but he was planted in such a small city that he didn't pay attention to, which made the complacent Bayanger accept.
