On the sixth day of the Battle of Huya Pass, the Ningnan Army and the Shah Coalition Army made a truce for a day, because they were waiting for supplies from the rear, and they needed to accumulate enough gunpowder to carry out a carpet attack on Huya Pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the eighth day of the Battle of Huya Pass, the Ningnan Army and the Shah Coalition Army, which had rested for two days, fought with their whole army again, but this time, the two armies did not rashly send troops to attack, but used all their artillery to bombard Huya Pass.
The wind army used two days to build the city defense, which was painstakingly built, and was instantly overwhelmed by the volley of artillery.
The Ningnan Army advanced step by step, taking advantage of the range advantage of the artillery, and carried out a fierce attack on Huya Pass, and after striking for a while, the artillery advanced a certain distance, and then continued to fire a salvo.
In the artillery attack, the city defense of Huya Pass not only completely collapsed, the buildings in the city also suffered a devastating blow, especially on the west side of the city, in the artillery bombardment, almost no intact building can be found, just one day, hundreds of artillery guns of the Ningnan Army fired nearly 10,000 shells, the west city of Huya Pass was full of holes, and the ruins were everywhere.
With an overwhelming advantage in firepower, the blow to the enemy's morale is too great. The wind army in Huya Pass was forced to retreat again and again, and Xicheng was bombed into a no-man's land.
At this time, the generals of the Feng Army once again asked Luo Ren that they needed to evacuate Huya Pass immediately, and if they fought again, there was a danger that the whole army would be annihilated.
Luo Ren insisted on his own opinion and refused to withdraw his troops, that is, he wanted to fight the enemy to the death at Huya Pass. Black しし Pavilion
Now the morale of the Feng army is completely gone, and there is only hard support left, but it is not easy for the Ningnan army, they overestimate the power of artillery.
The cannon only hits a big iron ball, which is very powerful, but it will not explode, and if it hits the building, it will only smash the building out of a big hole, and if you want to collapse a building, you need many shells to smash on the same building.
And after firing a dozen or so shells, the body of a cannon itself cannot withstand it. The Ningnan army artillery bombarded Huya Pass indiscriminately for a whole day, and without any attack, as many as 13 artillery pieces were blown up, and the effect did not as they expected, it could raze Huya Pass to the ground, and even the buildings in the west of Huya Pass were not completely destroyed.
The Ningnan army had no choice but to send a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to mobilize more artillery.
However, with Ningnan's craftsmanship and manufacturing power at that time, even if they rushed to work day and night, the number of artillery produced was very limited, and most of these limited artillery pieces were transported to the Ningnan Army that invaded Ningjun County, Fengguo.
Without the strong and favorable assistance of the imperial court, the Ningnan army could only rely on the existing artillery in its own hands to continue to attack Huya Pass.
The battle of Huya Pass returned to the original point, and the Ningnan army first bombarded indiscriminately with artillery, and then the infantry went into battle, rushed into the city, and fought street battles with the Feng army.
After the Ningnan army was repulsed by the wind army, they continued to bombard indiscriminately with artillery, suppressing the momentum of the wind army, and the siege infantry re-entered the battle.
The tenth day of the Battle of Huya Pass. The Ningnan Army still used the old tactics, after the artillery was blown up, the infantry was up, the infantry retreated, and the artillery was bombed.
When the two sides fought to a stalemate, the generals of the Ningnan Army used a dangerous move to advance the artillery phalanx directly to the wreckage of the western city wall of Huya Pass, and carried out carpet bombardment of the eastern city of Huya Pass.
The purpose of this is to use artillery to cut the wind army into two parts, so that the rear army of the wind army can not move forward, and the front army of the wind army will fall into an isolated situation, so that they can completely annihilate the front army of the wind army by virtue of the advantage of troops.
This tactic emphasizes cutting a piece of the enemy's army, annihilating a piece, cutting another piece, and annihilating another piece, so as to completely destroy the enemy by constantly encroaching and wearing, which is a typical scalpel attack method.
However, there was no such thing as a scalpel at the time, and this tactic was not used when the time came.
At the beginning, the tactics of the Ningnan army did work wonders, disrupting the position of the wind army, the main force of the wind army was forced to retreat under the bombardment of artillery, and the wind army of more than 20,000 people was left between the west and the east city, facing the crowded Ningnan army and the Shah coalition army, more than 20,000 wind troops fell into a bitter battle.
At this moment of crisis, it was Guangfang who stepped forward and led his more than 2,000 mountain bandit troops, from the relatively weak flank of the Shah coalition army of the Ningnan Army, which was attacking on a large scale, to break a bloody road, attack the back of the enemy, and sneak attack the artillery phalanx of the Ningnan Army in Xicheng with lightning speed.
He didn't know exactly how to destroy artillery, but he knew very well that the reason why artillery had so much power was because of the effect of gunpowder, and as long as the enemy's gunpowder was abolished, it would be equivalent to the enemy's artillery being abolished.
He ordered his brothers to ignite all the gunpowder in the artillery phalanx and set it on fire, and this order was conveyed to a great extent, and the artillery camp of the Ningnan Army was completely blown up. The piles of gunpowder exploded one after another, and the nearby Ningnan soldiers and wind soldiers were all blown to the ground.
The power of its explosion not only completely destroyed the wreckage of the Huya Guanxi City Wall, but even the ground was blown out of a chasm of length, width and width.
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces were all blown up into the sky by gunpowder, and even the vast fang, which was so strong as Lingwu and had reached the realm of spiritual disillusionment, was blown out, and the spirit armor after the transformation of the armor spirit was also blown to pieces.
The artillery camp of the Ningnan Army was bombed, and all the artillery pieces were scrapped, which was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Feng Army.
The wind army launched the most ferocious counterattack, and the Ningnan army and the Shah coalition army that attacked the city of Huya Pass were defeated, and the wind army took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Luo Ren personally led the army to attack the Huya Pass and pursue the enemy's ass.
When fighting a tailwind war, the Shah coalition forces were all passing the buck to each other, refusing to use all their strength, and only wanted to preserve the strength of their own clan, and now the battle situation is reversed, and the first one to collapse is the Shah coalition army.
The Shah coalition army did not listen to the command of the Ningnan army at all, and the main generals of each clan led the soldiers of their own tribe to flee in the wilderness, like a lost dog, fleeing to the territory of their own tribe, and the Ningnan army did not finally stabilize its position until it retreated to the area of Xibu Mountain, and finally repelled the Feng army's pursuers by taking advantage of the firecracker.
At this point, the ten-day Battle of Huyaguan finally came to an end temporarily. In this battle, half of the city of Huya Pass was destroyed, and more than 60,000 of the more than 200,000 Feng troops were killed, more than 20,000 were seriously wounded, and countless people were lightly injured. Because the Shah coalition army has collapsed on its own, the specific number of casualties cannot be counted, and the casualties of the 200,000 Ningnan army are close to half.
After this arduous battle, the Feng army and the Ningnan army were beaten to the end of the crossbow, the Feng army was unable to attack the Ningnan army occupying Xibu Mountain, and the Ningnan army was also unable to attack the Huya Pass of the wind country.
Luo Ren's persistence finally paid off, and he would rather die than retreat, so that the menacing Ningnan Army and the Shah coalition army failed to take a step from beginning to end.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Luo Ren chose to withdraw at that time, then the rout of the Feng army would be like a flood of floods, and no one could stop it, and it was only a matter of time before the entire territory of Zhenjun fell.
In the battle of Huya Pass, Luo Ren took the lead and made great contributions, and the hero who really let the Feng Army win this battle was Guangfang.
Relying on his own force, Guangfang led his troops to penetrate the enemy camp, directly killed behind the enemy, and successfully attacked the artillery camp of the Ningnan Army, resulting in a fundamental reversal of the battle situation between the two sides in an instant.
Of course, Guangfang also made mistakes in this battle, he asked his brothers to ignite the gunpowder directly, causing more than 2,000 wind troops to be blown into pulp, but this was completely limited by his own knowledge, Guangfang didn't know that the power of gunpowder could be so great, he just wanted to burn the gunpowder point, where did he think that the gunpowder would have a big explosion?
No matter what, the flaws are not hidden, and Guangfang's achievements in this battle can be said to be second only to Luo Ren.
Although Guangfang made great contributions, he also felt guilty and blamed himself to the extreme for the tragic death of more than 2,000 brothers, and he was eager to find a quick stone and kill himself.
In such a tense situation as the battle situation, no one would care about the shadow left in Guangfang's heart, and the generals of the Feng Army were discussing the strategic strategy to follow.
Now, the opinions of the generals of the Feng Army are finally highly unified, and there is nothing to hesitate about in the ensuing war, that is, to fight to the end, even if it is to exhaust everything you have, you must beat the Ningnan Army out of the Shah area and drive it back to the territory of Ningnan, otherwise, the Ningnan Army that remains in the Shah territory is like a big knife hanging above your head, I don't know when it will be cut down, and your own head will be in a different place.
After resting for ten days, the Feng army led by Luo Ren broke out of Huya Pass and attacked the Ningnan army stationed in Xibu Mountain.
The stalemate between the two sides in the second phase has entered the offensive and defensive reversal in the third stage.
The Feng army that took the initiative to attack the camp of the Ningnan army launched a fierce attack, although the strength of the Ningnan army was sharply reduced, but the combat power still existed, especially the fire guns, relying on the defense of the camp, causing great damage to the Feng army that came to attack.
The Feng army attacked for three days in a row, during which it broke through the camp of the Ningnan army several times, but in the end it was pushed out by the Ningnan army.
The war entered the fourth day, Luo Ren to the legions and even the corps have reached a death order, today's battle, their own side can only advance, not allowed to retreat, the sharp soldiers are dead, the soldiers are dead, the soldiers are dead, the captain is dead, the captain is dead, the battalion captain, if the battalion captain is also dead, then the corps commander and the corps commander and himself will go up.
Luo Ren's command style began to gradually reveal at this time, that is, the iron face is selfless, fierce and fierce, the goal he wants to achieve, he must achieve it, the task is assigned, and whoever can't complete it, he will ask whoever is.
In Luo Ren's death order, how could the commanders and commanders of the regiments not do their best, the commanders of the regiments and the commanders of the regiments all had the determination to fight to the death, writing letters to their families and leaving their last words, how could the soldiers in front of them be greedy for life and afraid of death?
