In terms of strength, the battalion led by Wang Zhongfeng is not very strong. In addition to equipping pine cannons, flying thunder cannons, and stone throwers, there are no longer range, more powerful meteor cannons.

However, Wang Zhongfeng's headquarters was on the defensive, and there were trenches, walled walls and other fortifications, which made up for the shortcomings to a large extent.

Moreover, Meng Jiucheng's order was not to defend to the death, but to consume as much of the enemy as possible, and if he couldn't hold it, he would retreat to the east, and Han Shouzhong's men and horses would intercept the Jin army returning north.

This may be the most secure winning strategy formulated by Meng Jiucheng, not in a hurry to besiege, but to surround the Jin army in a relatively large area, consume its personnel and grain and grass materials, and finally destroy it in one go.

After all, the area is a little larger, but it's still a cage; He didn't get attacked, but he jumped into a basin of water that was getting hotter and hotter.

But Wanyan's false comments have always had unexpected actions, and after Jia Yuezhen was frustrated, there were actually not many casualties.

On the second day, he led his army to turn around and march towards Mengtong Town, and when it was close to noon, he began to storm Mengtong Town again, hoping to make a way from here.

Although somewhat unexpected, there is a reason for the turn to attack after all the criticism.

The fortifications of Jia Yue Town are relatively perfect, and it is obvious that they are prepared to wait for work. As for Meng Tong Town, the Red Turban Army only occupied it for half a day and a night, and no matter how much they rushed to repair the fortifications, it was not as good as Jia Yuezhen.

Therefore, Wan Yan felt that while the opponent's foothold was not stable and the operation was not consolidated, there was a greater hope of breaking out of the siege from here.

But Wanyan slandered such an action, but Meng Jiucheng's troops had to fight with all their strength and resist desperately. Because behind them, Han Shouzhong had already been ordered to go south, and there was no second line of troops to block it.

But Meng Jiucheng led the main force, with more than 6,000 horses, more gunpowder weapons, and more powerful meteor cannons.

Boom, boom, boom...... When the gunpowder bombs flew over a distance of hundreds of meters, or even hundreds of meters, and smashed into the queue of the Jin army's attack, as well as the reserves farther away, Wan Yan gritted his teeth.

Explosions followed one another, causing even more casualties in the neatly lined ranks of the Jin army. After each explosion, there was a scream and wail, and people in a radius of more than ten meters turned on their backs, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

The smoke was thick and the light of the explosion shone brightly, but you could still see fragments of weapons and armor and uniforms flying into the air, as well as stumps and severed arms.

Several lone horses burst out of the smoke and fire, neighing and jumping around, and the rider was no longer on the horse's back.

The striker had already rushed into the town, shouting and roaring, and the follow-up attacking troops were disrupted by this blow, and they did not know whether to advance or retreat.

The bombardment continued, more than 100 meters of the stone thrower, more than 200 meters of the flying thunder cannon, 500 or 600 meters of the meteor cannon, and the entire Jin army attacking from the east was deployed outside the trench that had been filled out of the Zhangyu passage, and almost all of them were attacked.

An inevitable offensive was disjointed by the loss of forces in the middle, and the continuity of the offensive was lost.

And the Jin army, which rushed into the town, was surrounded and beaten by the superior Red Turban Army because of the loss of reinforcements. Stone throwers, pine cannons, crossbow arrows, spears, etc., suffered heavy losses, and only a few Jin troops escaped in disarray.

Perhaps from the perspective of the battle-hardened generals, it is not a particularly serious matter for the enemy to occasionally break through the defensive line in the offensive and defensive battles, but for Meng Jiucheng, it is a little nervous.

Although this is also part of the tactic, put some of the enemy into the town and annihilate them.

"Meng Shuai, our army has enough mobile troops and reserves, the gap that the enemy breaks through is not big, and there are not many troops coming in, so they will be surrounded and annihilated."

Wang Min seemed to see Meng Jiucheng's nervous look, and explained on the side: "Defense always has to take advantage of something, not to mention that our army's gunpowder weapons are very sharp. Even if it is a fight with people, the Jin army is bound to lose. ”

People fight people, and it is very tragic and helpless to say it, but if other rebels can do this, it will never be the current situation.

And the Red Turban Army, relying on training, with sharp gunpowder weapons, with the advantage of defense, and with reasonable tactics, not only did it, but also won a slight victory in the proportion of casualties.

lure some of the enemy into the town and engage in street fighting, giving full play to the advantage of numbers and the melee combat of the pine cannon; Use stone throwers, flying thunder cannons, and meteor cannons to carry out layered bombardments to block the enemy's effective reinforcements, interrupt the continuity of the enemy's attack, and make its follow-up weak......

In the field offensive, the Red Turban Army may still be lackluster, but in defense, it has formed a relatively fixed tactics and procedures.

And this style of play, giving full play to the advantages of weapons and numbers, is very unfamiliar to the Jin army, and it is hugely lethal.

First a tentative attack, then a realignment of troops for an all-out onslaught. It is not prudent to make false statements, but in the end, the Red Turban Army, which was full of firepower, still gave him a slap in the face.

Although he is not very underestimated, he still underestimates this strange army! I had to lament after the slander.

Not only himself, but also the servants who stayed at home, and even the servants who were scattered and Anzhen, did not pay enough attention to this army that took advantage of the situation and developed in a low-key manner.

Otherwise, how could you engage in this kind of self-defeating plagiarism behind enemy lines? Even if it is to be copied, it should not be divided into troops, but to gather troops, so that the enemy has no opportunity to take advantage of them and cannot be defeated one by one.

After a rough casualty count, Wan Yan's heart once again lamented, and the number of troops invested was nearly 1,000, and he thought that he could win in one blow, but he didn't expect to lose more than half.

More importantly, the morale of the Jin army fell into decline all of a sudden, and many Jin soldiers showed frightened and confused expressions on their faces.

Such a weapon, such a blow, is something that the Jin soldiers have never seen before, let alone experienced. Even the war horses of that era did not undergo the adaptation training in the artillery fire, and were startled a lot by the loud noises and fireworks.

Wan Yan was angry, shocked, and hesitated, not knowing whether to launch another onslaught. And his confidant will be loyal to Wanyan, and he will lead the army to attack, and he doesn't know how life and death will be.

Looking ahead, he didn't dare to get any closer. If he had been a little impulsive just now, he might have been killed by the enemy's sudden long-range artillery fire.

On the opposite side, the Red Turbans began to clean up the sound of battle, and the axe hand swung its blade at the corpses and wounded of the fallen golden soldiers.

Desperate screams and curses rang out in the light of the sword and blood, and the bloody heads were grabbed by the hair and lifted, and the headless bodies lay miserably on their stomachs or on their backs, blood gurgling and seeping into the ground.

The corpses and wounded stretched far and wide, and despite the danger, a few daring axemen crossed the trench and mercilessly harvested the bloody heads, stripping them of their still useful armor and weapons.
