Chapter 1439: Exhausted
Now that the door of Jijiabao has been blasted open, Qian Tiandun will naturally not let his opponent easily reblock it. He hoped that through such a move, the Houjin army, which was cowering in the fortress defense line, would be put under sufficient pressure to concentrate its forces on Jijiabao for defense. In this way, Haihan also has a greater chance of being able to annihilate the opponent's main force in the later battles.
Breaking through the fortified defenses was never the ultimate goal of the Spring Offensive, and trying to eliminate as many living forces as possible of the Houjin Army was what the military really wanted to achieve. And Qian Tiandun's idea is to attract the enemy army to one place as much as possible for annihilation, otherwise, with the mobility and power of the Haihan army, if you want to chase and kill the Houjin army, which occupies a considerable proportion of cavalry, you can probably only follow all the way behind and eat ashes, and you may not even be able to see the horse's buttocks.
A simple lookout platform nearly eight meters high has been erected on Haihan's position. These lookouts are practically all prefabricated and can be quickly assembled with tools on the battlefield. Its supporting structure is actually similar to the tower crane of later generations, after fixing the bottom, the upper part is built very quickly, and it also has a certain wind resistance after being built.
Standing on this lookout, it is basically level with the gatehouse of Jijiabao, and even a cut higher than the city wall connecting the gatehouse, and you can see the situation of a space behind the fortress defense line.
"There are quite a few cavalry gathered, there must be thousands!" After Gao Qiao Nan climbed down from the lookout, he handed the binoculars to the adjutant and immediately reported what he had seen to Qian Tiandun. Although the view would be partially blocked, Takahashi Minami still saw a part of the Houjin cavalry assembled on the rear plain to prepare for battle.
Obviously, the sharp shelling just now has made the defenders a little panicked, they don't know what kind of offensive Haihan will launch after blasting open the city gate, but since the passage to break through the defense line has been forcibly opened, they can only let the troops gather and prepare to resist Haihan's next offensive. However, if the cavalry were to rush out of the narrow city gate under artillery fire, there would definitely be heavy casualties, so the Houjin army did not rush to attack, but gathered its troops behind the fortress and planned to attack when the Haihan infantry pressed on the attack.
However, Qian Tiandun was not so impulsive, he could roughly think of the other party's possible reaction before he launched, and naturally he would not use his precious infantry to do the rough work of attacking the city. Since the other party felt nervous and began to gather troops, Qian Tiandun believed that his first step had been achieved, and there was no need to rush to attack the fortress at this time. He just hoped that Houjin would panic in this situation, the more panicked the opponent was, the easier it would be to show flaws, and Haihan would naturally be able to find a more suitable fighter as long as he kept an eye on the opponent's movements.
Yanguli still hasn't figured out how Haihan's seemingly inconspicuous artillery outside the city can be so powerful. The other side has been aiming at the city gate, whether it is to let the cavalry rush out, or to block the city gate with building materials, it has become difficult to achieve under the threat of artillery fire. Yanguli had to transfer his troops to gather near the city gate to prevent the Haihan army from attacking directly. But this is obviously not a solution, and it can't just be left to hang here all the time.
