Chapter 231: What a coincidence
"Report!"
"I figured it out, the Liang army dug countless pits on the eastern position, and these pits had no rules at all, and the brothers didn't know where to stand."
Tu Nao guessed correctly again.
Chun Yuyue didn't understand, "Are Liang Jun all rats?" It's so good to make holes, and besides, it's all rocks, how did they dig the holes? ”
"Maybe it was blown up with gunpowder, so the pits are irregular." Tu Nao guessed that there was no other possibility besides this possibility.
He just didn't understand something.
"Aren't there traps in these pits? For example, barbs and the like. Tu Nao asked the spy.
The spy shook his head, "No, there is only dirt and hay in the pits, some pits have residual gunpowder, some pits do not. ”
"Gunpowder?!"
Tu Nao's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quickly let them withdraw!" ”
He found out too late.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the artillery group on the east fired grenades, which landed on the position, exploding in patches of fire, which in turn ignited the hay and gunpowder in the pit.
All of a sudden, only the sound of explosions could be heard, as well as the glow of fire and thick smoke from the sky.
If you drive a live cow in at this time, I am afraid that it will be roasted in an instant, let alone the people inside.
High temperatures, explosions, and a lack of air.
Each is lethal enough!
In just a moment, they lost nearly 2,000 people, and those who were lucky enough to survive were almost worse than dead!
If this was Tu Nao's command, maybe it wouldn't have caused such a result, just like last night, Tu Nao just figured out all the obstacles to the offensive line, and he began to prepare for the attack.
It's time-consuming, but it's safe.
Chun Yuyue was almost about to grit his teeth, his army had not suffered such a big loss for many years.
The Liang army simply used all the means of killing people in this battle, and did not follow the routine at all.
"Get down!"
Chun Yu Yue said in a deep voice.
The attacks on both sides were blocked, and the losses were huge, and the enemy didn't even touch them a few times, so the result really made people want to vomit blood.
Now that the sky is bright, according to last night's prediction, it should have taken the mouth of Heishui Mountain at this moment.
The key is that they can't afford to delay, and the Jingtai area can miss at any time, waiting for the Liang army to occupy the Jingtai area.
And then they joined forces together.
This battle is really impossible to fight.
Chun Yuyue could only put aside his prejudices and ask Tu Nao for advice, "How do you think you want to fight?" ”
Everyone also withdrew their contemptuous gaze.
Really regard the Liang Army as an opponent.
"Attack the position of the Liang army in the east and burn the camp of the Liang army." Tu Nao said two words.
It's a little different from what Yang Dong thought.
His style of play is the main attack on both sides.
The gunpowder pit in the eastern position is estimated to have been used up in this wave, and it is impossible for the Liang army to redeploy it in a short time.
As for those foxholes, they simply ignored them, although these pits hindered the attack, but the Liang army could not gather either.
As long as we continue to take turns to attack, rely on the superiority of our troops, and do not give them a chance to breathe, we can take it sooner or later.
The camp on the front, although it is unusually strong, is still made of wood, and if it is attacked with oil fire, it will be burned to ashes sooner or later.
The important thing is that once the camp is on fire, there will be no one on it, which also relieves the pressure of a frontal assault.
Chun Yuyue has also calmed down now, and feels that his plan is a really feasible plan.
"It's up to you to storm the front, do you want artillery support?"
Tu Nao shook his head and said, "I'm worried that the artillery group in Heishui Mountain has not been fully exposed, so don't use the artillery for the time being." ”
Artillery is the last means of attack, and there is only one chance, because only within the coverage of the artillery of the Liang army can it hit the camp of the Liang army.
As long as the artillery position is exposed, the Liang army will definitely concentrate artillery fire and attack their artillery positions.
If the camp is not captured and the artillery is destroyed, it will be too much to lose.
Chun Yuyue nodded, "As long as you need it, I can support you at any time." ”
The meaning of this is like compensation.
Tu Nao didn't care about these at all, and immediately went to organize an attack, in order to reduce casualties, he divided his troops as usual.
In small groups after small teams, they took turns to send the oil jars up and smash them on the camp, and as long as they were enough to ignite, they immediately set them on fire.
When they saw the enemy raising the banner of Tu Nao again, Li Huai and Yang Dong became vigilant, and then saw the oil jar on their horses.
"I can't help it." Yang Dong shook her head and smiled bitterly, she couldn't think of a good countermeasure.
The scheme has been exhausted, and it has dragged on until this time.
Then you can only hold on.
Although he knew that he couldn't stop it, Li Huai still ordered the artillery group to open fire, even if it was only to delay for a while, it would be earned.
In this way, the Tu Nao Department braved the baptism of artillery fire and smashed the oil jars one after another on the first camp.
To prevent the soldiers above from being burned to death, Li Huai could only ask the soldiers on the camp to withdraw.
Soon.
The camp was ablaze with fire, and before the flames were extinguished, the wood was only half burned, and Tu Nao ordered the heavy cavalry to attack.
Just one round of impact, the wooden village collapsed.
"Good!"
"Good!"
This scene made the Gaochang Wangbu, who had always been frustrated in the attack, very excited, and suddenly their morale soared.
Faced with the second wooden village, they planned to do the same.
Li Huaimeng squeezed his fist, and the words had not yet come out.
"Can't go out!"
Yang Dong immediately grabbed his arm and said comfortingly: "Lord Wang, our task is to hold on, and we can't fight them if we can." ”
"Just in front of the camp, put a battalion, with the artillery groups on both sides, and the crossbowmen in the back, isn't this okay?" Li Huai asked very aggrievedly.
If the Great Wall Army was here, this style of play would definitely work, but last night when facing the first round of attacks.
Liang Jun's performance has already been shown, and it can't be coordinated at all.
If you go out to meet the enemy, if you are scattered by the enemy's cavalry, then is the wooden village closed or not?
close, then your own people can't get in.
No, the enemy swept in.
Isn't it a rout!
Yang Dong didn't explain directly, for fear of hitting his pride, he just shook his head and said, "We will definitely be able to hold it, doesn't the prince believe me?" ”
How could Li Huai not believe her, "Then listen to you." ”
Not long.
The second camp was also breached in the same way, whether it was artillery bombardment or a rain of arrows, it could not stop the enemy.
After all, the cannons of this era are not like the cannons of later generations, and their power is extremely limited.
Only the last wooden village remains.
Once this wooden village is broken, the enemy's cavalry can directly rush in, and it will be a tough battle.
Li Huai is already thinking about whether to use the mysterious force, and whether it will be exposed too early, it is estimated that it will not have much effect.
At this time, the herald sent a list of logistics supplies and put it directly on the table, and when every minute was in the race, logistics was of little significance.
Li Huai just glanced at it casually, wait...... What is that...... Concrete!
"How much concrete did the logistics deliver?"
Li Huai hurriedly asked.
"It's enough for us to build a thick city wall, and these logistics guys also asked us how much meat we want to eat for the celebration banquet, and we are about to send wine." The herald smiled contemptuously.
Those who don't go to the front line don't understand the tragedy of war at all, and think it's a game.
Celebration?
To be alive is to celebrate.
As for these concretes, they were planned before, as long as they occupied the Jingtai area, they would immediately build a concrete city wall here.
As for why not use concrete in the first place?
That's because it takes time, concrete was not chosen as a strategic resource, and there was no hoarding in the arsenal.
You have to go to the factory to pull goods, and you have to delay it for at least a day, which means that in order to wait for concrete, you have to postpone the whole battle by one day.
It would be a pity if the fighter plane was delayed because of this day, so I didn't wait and set off directly.
Unexpectedly, they sent it in advance.
"Immediately order someone to transport the concrete over, transfer a battalion of troops to transport it to me, one person is enough to carry a bag, let the rangers in Hexi carry water for Lao Tzu, and a horse and a pot can also be carried!" Li Huai immediately ordered.
The herald didn't know why King Liang was suddenly so excited, but his duty was not to ask too much, just to convey orders.
And he immediately did as he was told.
"Lord Wang, the concrete you just talked about is the kind of concrete that can be as hard as stone when it dries...... Something rare? Yang Dong asked curiously.
Li Huai nodded, but his face was extremely heavy, "However, it takes a certain amount of time for concrete to solidify, and before it solidifies, it is like a puddle of thin mud." ”
Time!
Become the most precious thing at the moment!
