Chapter 197: It's a bit like mowing the grass
In fact, in Su Dingfang's view, this battle can be won even without artillery, through the reasonable deployment of troops.
It's just that...... In order to prevent the soldiers below from seeing that they are surrounded, they may be demoralized, and at the same time, given that they are not well-known in the army, it is difficult to convince the public. He had no choice but to take out the artillery at the most critical time to stabilize the morale of the army.
Of course! This is not to say that if he thinks that he can win, he will not use these artillery, but that the artillery should be used at a critical juncture.
If he had told the story of the artillery in the army when he was in Youzhou, maybe the soldiers would have developed an arrogant mentality.
Now that the enemy's army is overwhelming, this is the right time to use it to boost the morale of the army.
When he was in Songzhou, Su Dingfang had a very deep cooperation with Li Chunfeng and Wang Yan.
Moreover, he had long known all the advantages and disadvantages of artillery, including the horses that would disturb his side.
But......
Most of these were directly entrusted by Li Chong to Li Chunfeng to tell him.
After all, as the person who invented these things, how could the crown prince and prince Li Chong not know the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons he developed.
To this end......
Before this battle, he would certainly not bring the cavalry directly to the surface, and ...... Since they were on their backs, the terrain here was defended in their favor, and they didn't need to charge or intimidate the opponent with cavalry in the first place.
Directly use infantry to form a phalanx and erect a lance outside, which is enough to resist the opponent's cavalry.
So before the war......
He will make the enemy come forward on his own initiative, and even create the illusion that he is surrounded by the enemy.
Then make full use of the effect of artillery to reduce the morale of the enemy, and win with infantry against infantry. As for the opponent's cavalry, it only needs to let a part of the infantry drag it first.
But here's the catch!
That is, unless this is a division of a hundred battles, and the soldiers know the generals and the generals, otherwise, the enemy's more than 100,000 troops are surrounded on a mountain like this, and before the fight starts, the morale on their side will collapse directly.
The soldiers must have felt that there was something wrong with him, the head of the march, or that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was blindly commanding, otherwise normal people would not have fought like this.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
Be well prepared. The soldiers were lined up for miles. It's spectacular.
To be honest, this is also the first time that Su Dingfang has commanded such a big battle, standing on the mountain, he is holding a telescope.
Since the enemy is three times as many as theirs.
Therefore......
The thickness of this enemy's formation is naturally almost three times that of theirs.
Normally, it is definitely not easy to run when you are besieged like this.
But......
Now seeing them gathered like this, Su Dingfang was relieved.
Because he likes to see the other party with three layers inside and three layers outside, he doesn't like the kind of very loose and thin position.
It is estimated that the enemy has been fooled and thinks that they will definitely be able to take them down, so let's do this.
Su Dingfang immediately sent an order down and asked Wang Yan and the others to get ready.
Wang Yan also understood immediately.
Cross-fire all guns at about 45 degrees.
And all live ammunition was replaced with shotgun.
This is not to say that such cross-firing can expand the area of coverage to the maximum.
Although in fact, there is also this benefit.
The most important thing is that Su Dingfang wants to put the other party closer to fight.
After all, the range of the shotgun is almost two hundred steps.
It was impossible for them to attack directly at a distance of two hundred paces.
It will only startle the snake and scare the other party away in advance.
At least......
No matter what, you have to put the enemy at a distance of one hundred and forty paces before they can move.
I saw that Goguryeo's side seemed to have no idea what danger was waiting for them ahead.
This should be the disadvantage of not having knowledge.
They only felt that Tang Jun was a little stunned, and he didn't even resist when he stood still.
Then don't blame them for advancing step by step.
The city lord of Liaodong City looked at the Tang army motionless, and seriously suspected that the Tang army was engaged in an upgraded version of the last battle, a battle against the mountain.
But......
This also fully shows that the commander of the Tang Army should not know how to use troops at all.
However, when I thought that the person who led the enemy was the prince of the other country, I was relieved.
Only these delicate and expensive nobles who have never asked about the suffering of the people, and have never been on the battlefield or fought a war, would do such a ridiculous thing.
When the city lord of Liaodong City saw this, he immediately said to the left and right, "Why do I think that in less than a month, the king's decree of commendation for me will be sent to me?"
When I heard it, I immediately smiled.
As for the Tang Army......
The soldiers were actually still a little nervous. ….
After all......
They are here to make a contribution, not to die.
As for talking about artillery.
They know that artillery is powerful.
But your beating of wood and beating people are completely different situations.
From five miles of land.
to three miles.
It's less than a mile away.
Everyone tightened their grips on their weapons.
Next......
It's just waiting for the manager to attack.
When the soldiers of Goguryeo finally walked one hundred and forty steps.
The drums on the Tang Army's side suddenly sounded.
For a while, it also frightened the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side.
And then there's the thump, thump, thump.
Smoke rose from it.
Many soldiers on Goguryeo's side didn't know what was going on.
And then......
I saw the phalanx next door, and it seemed to be suddenly chaotic.
What's going on?
Don't wait for them to react.
afterwards
, the second round of bang again sounded.
I saw that it seemed that the Goguryeo soldiers began to fall one by one.
It's even a bit like you're mowing the grass.
Tang Jun himself was dumbfounded.
Is it so exaggerated?
Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian are one to join the army and the other is a grain and grass officer, of course, they don't need to go down to personally command the battle, and when they look at it from the mountain, it can be seen very obviously.
It is also obvious that there is Li Chengqian.
I saw Li Chengqian looking at the scene in front of him.
I can't help but sigh secretly.
It turns out that this is war.
It's a bit tragic!.
