More than 500 spearmen and sword and shield men defended the two-mile wall, and even if the lieutenant general was capable, it was impossible to do it all.

Soon, the killing speed of the Yangquan defenders was not as fast as the speed of the official army climbing the city wall.

As time passed, the number of officers and soldiers fighting the defenders on the city wall became more and more. The situation on the battlefield is developing step by step in a direction that is unfavorable to the defenders.

More importantly, some of the officers and troops who rushed to Chengtou saw that the defenders did not have enough troops to participate in the defense. He went straight past the very weak defensive line of the defenders and killed the bombardiers who were still throwing grenades outside the city.

How can a bombardier who is only equipped with grenades, not even a self-defense broadsword, be the opponent of these officers and soldiers.

In a few breaths, the dozens of bombardiers left on the city wall were completely slashed and killed.

Having lost their bombardiers, the officers and soldiers gathered at the corners of the city walls were finally deprived of attacks from grenades. Under such circumstances, more and more officers and soldiers began to climb the head of the city through the cloud ladder, further compressing the activity space of the defenders at the head of the city, expanding the breakthrough, and occupying the head of the city through guò, and occupying the entire Yangquan county step by step.

Just when Yangquan County was in an unprecedented crisis, a reinforcement force with 500 pikemen and 300 bombardiers was in place. Under the orders of the garrison general Tan Liguo, he appropriately rushed to the city wall and joined the battle......

Five hundred pikemen joined the fray, reinforcing an already weak and porous line.

At the same time, three hundred bombardiers, protected by pikemen, climbed the thick walls of the city. Ignite the grenade fire rope directly. Throwing grenades outside the city rang out.

In the face of a sudden violent explosion. The officers and soldiers who climbed along the ladder towards the city wall were directly blown to the ground.

As more and more grenades fell under the corners of the city walls and exploded, Mian

On the two-mile city wall, no officer or soldier could escape a grenade attack and climb to the top of the city.

The officers and soldiers who fought at the head of the city did not have any follow-up troops to join the battle, and the defenders of Yangquan, who participated in the defense, had 500 pikemen to join the battle......

The battlefield is not conducive to the situation of the Yangquan defenders. Directly tripped back by five hundred spearmen.

Soon, the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers at the head of the city were stabbed clean by the pikemen.

As for the remnants of the remaining officers and troops under the corners of the city wall, because they could not see hope, they retreated very wolfly.

At the end of the battle, the garrison general Tan Liguo also climbed the city wall full of corpses and wounded.

Seeing Tan Liguo, who had a stern face in front of him, the deputy general's face directly revealed an expression full of shame. After taking a deep breath, he said to Tan Liguo: "General." It was only the last general who underestimated the enemy that caused more than 700 soldiers to die on the battlefield....please condemn the general..."

Tan Liguo shook his head and came back: "Your business will be said after the battle is over....I want to know, the city just now." What the hell is going on... Why did such a violent explosion happen......"

Under Tan Liguo's sharp gaze, the adjutant general immediately told the fact that the officers and soldiers were also equipped with grenades.

After listening, Tan Liguo nodded and affirmed: "In the battle just now, you really underestimated the enemy..."

"If you can throw grenades in advance, don't let the officers and soldiers get close to the walls. With our superiority in height, it is absolutely impossible for the officers and troops outside the city to throw grenades at us. Under such circumstances, 700 soldiers would not have been killed by grenades from the officers and soldiers so inexplicably......"

Speaking of this, Tan Liguo's words changed sharply and continued: "Of course, you can't be blamed for this-.... after all, none of us thought that the officers and soldiers who confronted us would be equipped with grenades in such a short period of time. ”

"Since the situation has changed, then the tactics we have just formulated are useless, and they must be changed..."

"What do you think we should do with grenades that are equipped by officers and soldiers?"

Without thinking about it, the adjutant general replied: "In the way you just said, General....We are condescending and can throw a grenade thirty paces outside the city." However, the officers and troops who attacked us outside the city could not... Unless they rushed ten paces outside the city, it would be impossible to throw grenades at the head of the city. ”

"So, in the next battle, as long as the officers and soldiers rush to a distance of thirty paces outside the city, we will throw grenades."

Tan Liguo shook his head and denied: "The idea is very good....but, just as you hesitated to wait for the officers and soldiers to rush to the foot of the city wall in order to maximize the power of the grenade. If the officers and soldiers continue to attack us in a very loose formation, how many grenades do we have that can be thrown at the officers and soldiers without limit. “

"So, Ben will not approve of your ......"

Seeing the lieutenant general in front of him who was instantly lost in thought, Tan Liguo, who had a smile flashing on his face, directly reminded: "You are thinking about the battle that just ended... After the attacking troops of the officers and troops rushed to the city wall, did they dare to continue to throw grenades at the head of the city? ”

The adjutant general's eyes lit up, and he asked thoughtfully: "General, what do you mean, let some of the officers and soldiers climb the city wall..."

"The pikemen kill the enemy at the head of the city, and the bombardier continues to throw grenades outside the city, killing the enemy with grenades..."

"In this case, the grenades equipped by the officers and soldiers will lose their effect..."

"Yes, just fight like that..."Tan Liguo affirmed loudly.

Then, he reminded the deputy general in front of him: "In addition, we must equip the soldiers defending the city wall with more shields... Before the officers and soldiers climbed the city walls, their bombardiers would inevitably throw a few rounds of grenades. ”

"And the wall under our feet is only so wide, as long as the soldiers are equipped with enough shields and are fully prepared, they can use their shields to push the grenades falling from the sky out of the city wall before the grenade explodes..."

"In this case, no matter how many grenades the officers and soldiers throw at us, it will have no effect..."

"As long as you dodge the grenade attacks of the officers, let some of the officers and soldiers go to the top of the city, and let the pikemen fight with them. The grenades they are equipped with will be completely useless. ”

"When the time comes, the initiative of the entire battle will be in our hands..."

The adjutant nodded and replied in a deep voice: "The general is right, this is the best way to reduce the damage caused to us by the grenades of the officers and soldiers....although in close combat, the losses of pikemen and sword and shield men will be very large. However, this loss can definitely be called negligible compared to the damage of grenades to us. “

"General, the last general will go to arrange it right away, and prepare for the third round of attacks by the officers and troops outside the city." (To be continued......)
