Chapter 1556: Ace Duel (2)
As soon as the Tianwei army came up, it was a series of rocket salvos, which also brought great chaos to the artillery position, and the intensive rocket fire also made the tents on the artillery position burn, it was just before dawn, the artillerymen were asleep, without the slightest preparation, and the fire brought huge casualties to the artillery.
However, the most unlucky thing is not these, the most unlucky thing is that the burning rocket fell straight into a tent where gunpowder was stored, and the gunpowder was ignited, although it did not cause a violent explosion, but in a tent, thousands of catties of gunpowder were piled up, all of which were ignited, and the resulting deflagration made a radius of dozens of zhang, straight into a piece of scorched earth, even the artillery was red by the high temperature, almost deformed, and the tent next to the gunpowder was also not spared, in the blink of an eye, thousands of catties of gunpowder, all reimbursed!
Fortunately, because the weather is cold and the weather is dry, and there is no need to worry about the problem of moisture, these gunpowders are not sealed, if they are sealed, it is not a deflagration, and the explosion caused is enough to destroy most of the artillery positions, even so, the deflagration has brought huge trouble to the artillery positions, and by the time the surviving artillery has come to their senses, the artillery positions are already a scorched earth.
"Quick, quick, immediately transfer gunpowder from behind, prepare for battle, hurry!"
This is just a temporary powder magazine on the artillery position, the stored gunpowder, can only support the artillery position for a day of saturation attack, a few miles away, there is a huge powder magazine, where all the gunpowder of the Rakshasa army is stored, in order to prevent the gunpowder from being hit by the Ming artillery fire, all the places selected a few miles away from the artillery position, leaving a cavalry battalion to protect, the gunpowder here is almost burned clean, if you want to fight, then you can only transfer it from the powder magazine again.
It's just that if you want to transport gunpowder from the rear, the distance of several miles, how can it take an hour, and the current artillery position is almost a decoration, and there is no use at all!
Adrian patronized and ordered the cavalry to assault, and the matter in the rear was not found at all, although he knew that a fire was burning in the direction of the artillery position, but he did not expect that the problem would be so big, the powder magazine was actually ignited, how can this be fought?
"General Adrian, I'm afraid that our artillery positions will not be able to participate in the battle for a while, our gunpowder has all been ignited, and the artillery has suffered heavy casualties, General Anrejka has already ordered people to go to the rear to transport ammunition, and I am afraid that it will take half an hour to return at the earliest......"
The staff officer beside him said in a snort.
"What?"
Adrian felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted, the powder magazine was ignited, unlucky, too unlucky, now there is no artillery to help, the firepower of the Tianwei Army is so fast, he can only be beaten passively, damn it, this time it is a pit to death.
"General, why don't we all withdraw to Kulen City now, with the cover of Kulen City, we can support the passive situation in front of us, and then launch a counterattack, it may not be the opponent of the Ming army! Outside the city, we had no protection, and we were completely exposed to the fire of the Ming army, which was too passive! ”
Staff Officer Lieutenant Colonel Arshavin said urgently.
"Fart! You listen to the sound of the Ming artillery, it sounded from all directions, there are at least more than 100 artillery, and they are all powerful heavy artillery, the Ming army we are facing is definitely the most powerful Tianwei army main force, there are more than 20,000 people, in other directions, the strength of the Ming army will definitely not be much less, plus the Ming army that withdrew from Kulun City, now the Ming army has surpassed us in strength and firepower, at this time, we are drilling into Kulun City, then wait for the city to break and be surrounded and annihilated by the opponent! ”
Adrian's brain is good, now the enemy is dark and I am clear, completely in a passive position, the strength of the Ming army is unknown, rashly entered the city of Kulen, and then surrounded by the Ming army, with the strong firepower shown by the Ming army now, coupled with the continuous rear support, the Rakshasa army has only one way to go.
Adrian's mind quickly turned a thought and thought about countermeasures, but the situation didn't leave him much time to think now......
Just when Adrian had not yet made up his mind how to deal with it, the Ming army in the east also joined the battle group, still the rockets opened the way, and the infantry still advanced significantly, this time the offensive was more fierce, and the soldiers of the second town in the east were more bloodthirsty than the soldiers of the first town!
On both sides, the two rocket battalions were put into the attack at the same time, although the rockets were not as powerful as the artillery, but they couldn't stand more, the two rocket battalions had nearly a hundred rockets, as soon as they came up, they shot with all their might, the flames were blazing on the Rakshasa army's position, the smoke was billowing, the Rakshasa soldiers were completely stunned, they had never seen this kind of weapon, it was too evil, fire prevention everywhere, as long as they were hit by rockets, they were basically dead.
"Order, the cavalry temporarily retreated behind the artillery position, waiting for the order, and the infantry prepared for the assault!"
Adrian immediately decided, he couldn't let the cavalry continue to be beaten, he was too passive, in the face of the overwhelming rockets, the panicked war horses scurried around, not hurting the enemy, but accidentally injured a lot of infantry, but now Adrian did not dare to withdraw his troops, once he withdrew, the army of Kulen City would be completely surrounded in the city, according to the current situation, I am afraid that there is only one way to defeat.
Kulen City, now Chernkov is about to go crazy, the siege of the Ming army has been launched for half an hour, Kulen City has suffered a baptism like a plough court sweeping hole, more than 100 artillery pieces bombarded in turn, bringing a huge threat to the Rakshasa soldiers, but, at this time, the artillery position outside the city turned out to be dumb, without the slightest movement, is Adrian a dead man?
"General, General!"
Staff Officer Kuzdev ran over and said urgently: "Outside the city, a fire suddenly broke out on the side of our artillery position, and the artillery position is only afraid that it will also suffer from the fierce artillery attack of the Ming army, but now I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, right?" ”
"What?"
Cherkov was shocked, grabbed Kuzdev by the collar and roared: "How is it possible! Where did the Ming army get so much artillery? More than a hundred artillery pieces besieged the city of Kulun, could it be that there were still a large number of artillery besieging the Rakshasa army outside the city? Impossible, absolutely impossible, unless the Ming Empire dispatched 200,000 troops, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to equip so many artillery! ”
"Rockets! It's the rocket of the Ming army, and it's also a weapon that is so powerful that it's not inferior to artillery, Cherkov, and this time we're just afraid we'll lose......"
Ananiyevic's face was ashen and he said in an astringent voice.
