Chapter 426: Retreat
The adjutant general squinted, saw more clearly, and replied: "It seems that he is preparing to throw the car?" No, that weird car is the legendary gun truck! ”
Suddenly gasped, and said in horror: "They may want to bombard the city with artillery trucks, general, quickly order to retreat." ”
When the two countries go to war, the most important thing is weapons and armor, and whoever has the best weapons will win the war.
Let Gao Changguo retreat first without a fight, General Gao Chang felt aggrieved.
But there is no way, the opponent's weapons are powerful, and they can only avoid the edge for the time being.
In fact, Gao Changguo also developed explosives, but the quantity was scarce, all in the main city, and there was no border guarding here.
Outside the city.
The military department Shangshu raised his hand and roared, "Launch!" ”
Suddenly, dozens of artillery trucks fired in unison and bombarded the city of Gaochang Kingdom.
Rumble! Rumble!
A succession of explosions rang out.
Before he had time to retreat, General Gao Changguo's face changed drastically.
"Hold on, don't withdraw! Instead of retreating, it is better to fight to the death.
If they want to bomb, let them bomb!
General Ben does not believe it, they have an inexhaustible supply of ammunition.
When the bombardment is over, people will always rush to us, and we will send them to hell with ten thousand arrows. ”
General Gao Changguo's eyes were red, like a mad beast.
The city will be destroyed, let him destroy it, and he will not retreat.
Anyway, the news has reached the main city, and troops will soon be sent to support, so that the 50,000 Wei troops will not return.
Rumble! Rumble!
Explosions continued to sound and the gates crumbled.
The military department Shangshu sat on his horse, old and long-clocked, picked up the telescope and looked ahead.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, his old face smiled.
"Forward!"
"Yes." The roar shook the sky!
Thundered.
Horse-drawn carriages, tricycles, and gun carts marched forward.
Stepping through this city, you will officially enter the territory of Gaochang.
"Keep bombing." The military department Shangshu shouted, full of passion.
Yuan Wanshan twisted his eyebrows, looked sideways at the high-spirited old face of the military department, and was worried.
The artillery carriage is now known to all countries, isn't this old horseman afraid that Gao Chang has a countermeasure?
After all, the other party was not afraid of the artillery carts, and still stood on the city wall, as if waiting for them...
Under normal circumstances, you should be vigilant and slowly analyze the situation before acting. But the old horseman seemed to rely on the might of the artillery carriage and wanted to continue the attack.
In the event of the annihilation of the whole army, how should I explain to His Majesty?
In the midst of the lightning, Yuan Wanshan thought a lot, and immediately ordered, "Slowly, don't be too fast, the whole army is on alert, divided into two teams, one team to attack, and the other team to do a good job of protection." ”
"What are you afraid of!" The military department Shangshu looked at him unhappily, "They are all people who have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they are still timid." With such an advanced weapon, it should be rushed with all its might. ”
The leftover girl of Loulan also felt that what Shangshu of the Ministry of War said was right.
She rode a white horse, dressed in red, and stood next to the book of the military department.
"Looking at the situation in Gao Changguo, I'm afraid I learned about our battle plan." Yuan Wanshan explained.
"Although the artillery fire was continuous, blowing up the city gates, and the walls of the city were crumbling, you can see that they are not hurt at all, and they seem to be prepared.
If they rush forward, they will definitely attack with arrows, how much do you think our army will lose? ”
At this moment, the 50,000 army was readjusted according to Yuan Wanshan's order, and advanced unhurriedly.
When he was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, Yuan Wanshan ordered again, "Stop." ”
The military department Shangshu became more and more unhappy, "What are you doing?" I don't know if all the soldiers are already tired? Why don't you take the city and go to rest? ”
"Lord Shangshu!" Yuan Wanshan scolded sharply, "If the army is defeated, will you be responsible?" ”
"How can you lose?" The military department replied, and the old face was red with anger.
"Last time Turpan was old and followed His Majesty, I have seen Your Majesty's combat methods, coupled with the might of the artillery carriage, General Yuan also saw it, and it is impossible for the enemy army to turn over."
Yuan Wanshan stared at the tiger's eyes, oh my God, how can the old man sit in the position of the military department?
I thought that His Majesty would let himself be a servant at the beginning, but he was removed from his post three days later and continued to be a general.
Why? Because virtue is not worthy!
It's not so easy to shoot a servant, and the old man is so eager for quick success, for nothing more than that high position.
"Lord Shangshu, the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. The artillery carriage became famous in the first battle of Turpan, how can you know that Gao Changguo has not developed a weapon to deal with the artillery carriage now? ”
The road was far away, and the cannonballs were limited, so they could not be consumed in large quantities here, so Yuan Wanshan quickly changed his policy.
"Catapult ready, Luban even bow crossbow, big crossbow, ready!"
In an instant, three thousand crossbow teams walked out side by side.
The military department is still black-faced, impeached, must be impeached, and after returning from a big victory, see how the old man impeaches this king and eight calves.
Yuan Wanshan didn't care about his opinion at all, and ordered again.
The artillery spanned the left and right rows, the archers fired arrows, and the 10,000 troops in the middle held shields and rushed forward.
The sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of arrows piercing through the void, was deafening.
General Gao Changguo glared at each other angrily, "Bastard, it's in range, the archers are ready, kill!" ”
Suddenly, 10,000 archers, who had been prepared for a long time, fired downward.
Woohoo!
Dense swords, like a raging storm, were launched from the city walls.
Bow and arrow to bow and arrow, hard to beat.
"Scatter left and right, swap formations, and stabilize the shield soldiers."
The arrows on the walls are dense, but fortunately they are not very dense, as long as the archers are scattered, the shield soldiers in front can withstand most of the fire, and the overall problem is not big.
At the same time, Yuan Wanshan continued to order, "The slingering army and the artillery army will attack in turn." ”
The range of the trebuchet is farther than that of the bow and arrow, and the height of the city of Gaochang Kingdom, at this distance, the stone is fired right on the edge of the city, which can smash the city wall to the greatest extent, and then the archers above will have nothing to hide.
The slingers quickly prepare stones, throw stones, launch! After that, the artillery crew loads and fires!
Round after round, the power is huge.
Yuan Wanshan's combat method was at ease, and the military department Shangshu and the Loulan saintess looked at each other.
That's amazing, isn't it?
Attacking with artillery trucks before, Gaochang Dog didn't show any panic, but now it's messing up the opponent's position?
Killing the enemy in battle is still a science?
The old man of the military department blushed and was ashamed.
But soon shame was thrown out of the clouds.
Hmph, it's not that the weapon invented by His Majesty is powerful, even if it is not so complicated, it can capture the city with a gun cart, maybe even faster than this.
on the city walls.
"General, the other party is treacherous!" The lieutenant general's eyes were red, and he stared downward.
The gates of the city had been knocked down, the walls had been torn apart, some places had been destroyed, and the archers had lost a lot.
The face of the general defending the city of Gao Changguo was extremely ugly, "The archers quickly left the city. ”
Only then did he realize that the Wei army's battle plan was not at all what he had thought before, only bombarding with artillery trucks.
