Chapter 883: Winner and Loser Eighteen
It was a sunny day, with a light breeze blowing from the north and a little wet and cold in the morning. But when the sun rises, it's much better.
It's just the Yong army in the camp, and the Zhejiang army outside is also slaughtered.
Mao Rui waved his hand and said, "Open the cannon." ”
"Boom." With a bang, only two Nanjing heavy guns were fired.
Two shells slammed into the wall. One cannonball was bounced off, and the other cannonball was deeply sunk into the wall, and a piece of wood slammed out of the wall, and countless pieces of mud flew out, like bullets, and smashed on several Yongjun, who immediately fell to the ground, moaning incessantly.
The wall of the Yongjun army is a little stronger than the outer wall, but there is a large area of soil on it outside the wall, and the wall has a little angle, and these dirt are used to prevent artillery.
Let the cannonballs hit it, with this layer of dirt cushioning, to lighten some force for the wood behind.
However, the soil can only be used as a buffer, and even the kinetic energy after the buffer can already smash the wood of the wall.
"Kill."
Countless Zhejiang troops rushed over.
Their actions were much stronger than yesterday's people's husbands, and for a while, all the firearms on the wall were fully opened, and at the same time, all the firearms on hand of the Zhejiang army were also fired at one time.
The roaring cannons echoed each other.
The Yongjun army arranged a lot of firearms on the periphery, and as a result, a camp roar made these things become trophies of the Zhejiang army. It made up for many shortcomings in the firepower of the Zhejiang army.
The firepower of both sides is unexpectedly comparable.
However, even so, the firepower of both sides still cannot be said to be a decisive victory.
"Boom." Far beyond the roar of ordinary cannons, it is still the roar of the two cannons just now.
Cannons of several thousand pounds are very difficult to move, and they are usually transported by boat. Mobility on land is quite poor. But it's still a bit powerful.
This time the two shells missed a little, and they hit the last one a little to the right.
However, the danger caused this time is better than the previous one, this is not a city after all, and this wall cannot withstand many blows.
It's already shaky at the moment.
Li Liangqin looked at these two giant cannons, and was very angry in his heart.
In his memory, only the Yongjun had artillery to bully others, and no one had ever bullied the Yongjun with artillery, especially in land warfare.
Li Liangqin said: "Who pulled out these two giant cannons for me? ”
Left and right did not dare to speak.
They all saw it clearly, Li Liangqin knew the threat of this giant cannon, and Mao Rui was the one who fought the old war. How could he not know this, all the cannons were tightly arranged around him, and not far from him was Mao Rui's Chinese army. With such a strict arrangement, let's not talk about whether it can be fought or not, even if it is hit, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. The chances of coming back alive are not very high.
Therefore, no one wants such a mortal task to fall on their heads.
"My lord, to destroy these two cannons first, you must use dead soldiers, and you must use cavalry." Liu Bochen said: "I'm afraid that the others will not be able to rush even in front of the cannon." ”
"Nope." Li Liangqin immediately rejected Liu Bochen's idea. "The cavalry has another important use."
Are there cavalry in the camp?
Yes.
Although there is no elite cavalry on the opposite side, there are still hundreds of cavalry, and they are among the Longxiang guards, and they are directly subordinate to Li Liangqin.
However, Li Liangqin did not allow the use of cavalry, not because he fancied the cavalry and did not want the cavalry to suffer losses.
To be honest, when he came to Li Liangqin's level, his vision was already high, if Li Liangqin was allowed to choose, as long as he could win the victory, anyone could be sacrificed.
There is only one person who cannot be sacrificed, and that is Zhu Houhuang.
And the responsibility of this cavalry is nothing else, that is, in case of a bad situation, let the cavalry escort Zhu Houhuang out of here, looking for an opportunity to make a comeback.
Although Zhu Houhuang said that he trusted them and said that he would win this battle, Li Liangqin, who was responsible for the safety of Zhu Houhuang's side, had to make more arrangements.
"Why not?" Zhu Houhuang said suddenly.
"Your Highness." Everyone fell to their knees and said.
Zhu Houhuang originally wanted to pretend to be calm, lie down in the big tent, and stabilize people's hearts, but Zhu Houhuang found that Yongjun's psychological quality was good, and he didn't need to stabilize people's hearts at all.
Zhu Houhuang couldn't hold back any longer, patrolled everywhere, and came here at this moment. I just heard the second half of Li Liangqin's words.
"Zhu Qing invites you to get up, but I don't know why this cavalry can't be used?" Zhu Houhuang asked, he asked knowingly.
Long Xiangwei is Zhu Houhuang's hand, the longest stretch, almost up and down of Long Xiangwei is firmly grasped by Zhu Houhuang in his hand. Therefore, Long Xiangwei has a wind and grass, and Zhu Houhuang knows that it is a little too exaggerated. But many people can't bypass Zhu Houhuang.
At least, Zhu Houhuang knew that one of the important missions of Long Xiangwei's cavalry was to escort Zhu Houhuang to break through in times of crisis.
Li Liangqin was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to say, at least a little, he couldn't say that this cavalry should stay and wait to escort Zhu Houhuang to break through.
What can be said, what can not be said, what can be said in person, what can be said behind the back, how can Li Liangqin not know?
Zhu Houhuang immediately said: "Although the cavalry is the top of my heart, but raising soldiers for a while, as long as they can win, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed." ”
"Your Ministers are hereby ordered." Li Liangqin and others said.
Zhu Houhuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to stay behind any longer.
Zhu Houhuang sat in the back, unwilling to be on the front line, and the first one he found that his positive role in the front line was not even comparable to the negative role.
Without him, as King Yong, as long as he appears on the front line, he will have a large number of people to protect him. It can even disrupt operational deployments.
The second reason is that the camp has been surrounded, although Mao Rui's attack has a focus, and the focus is on the current West Gate. However, it does not mean that Mao Rui will not invest heavy troops in other directions.
Zhu Houhuang is in the middle of the camp, and he can be regarded as a good reaction.
However, Zhu Houhuang found that Li Liangqin's military command ability was still overestimated in the middle, perhaps because of Zhu Houhuang's own insecurity, although reason told him that it was best for him to let go of the generals under his command, after all, until now, there is only a boring and bloody offensive and defensive battle, as long as it is done step by step.
It doesn't take too much wisdom, too much calculation, and even the more dogmatic the better, the more rigid the better.
Because smart people will always find ways to escape difficulties, but in fact, many difficulties, the more you escape, the more difficult it is.
It's just the instinct of being a general, and he will definitely not entrust his life to someone else's hands.
"Boom." There was another cannon shot.
After the sound of the cannonball, the whole battlefield fell silent. Only the crisp sound of wood breaking.
There was nothing else, it was just a wall, about ten steps or so, which was smashed by force.
"Kill." Zhejiang seemed to have come to its senses from the shock, and almost all the soldiers who were attacking changed direction and rushed towards the gap.
They didn't care at all, they were actually turned under the fire of the Yongjun, and when they were running, from time to time shells and rockets fell on these people. They act as if they are madmen, and they don't care at all.
"Kill." Li Ziyun said.
As a reserve team, Li Ziyun's camp burst out in an instant, blocking the gap in just a few minutes, and forcing the people who had rushed into the camp to force back.
Immediately, the two sides were in the gap, repeatedly seesawing. Become the focal point of the battle.
Zhu Houhuang let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Li Ziyun coming, and then thought of something and said, "Send out the cavalry and let them destroy the artillery." ”
Zhu Houhuang took a fancy to the joint place at a glance. At this moment, everyone's attention on the battlefield is attracted by this gap, and it is a good opportunity.
There is no problem with the gap, but the problem is that these two cannons are there, and they can still make the second and third gaps.
Therefore, although it is important to solve the problem of the gap, the importance is still under the heavy artillery of the Ming army.
"Yes," Li Liangqin's eyes lit up, and he was about to personally lead the cavalry to attack the cannons on the opposite side and destroy the cannons.
