Chapter 1362 Artillery Bombardment Infantry Advance

Although sounding balloons have been used many times and are now indispensable in the army, no general has ever been in the sky, not including Li Xiang.

Qu Tushou was extremely interested in this thing, so in the latest investigation, Qu Tushou had himself chained, and then came to a height of fifty meters.

Today's weather is okay, there is no strong wind around, if there is a strong wind, it will not be able to pull it at all.

These soldiers who are in charge of reconnaissance don't dare to put Qu Tushou on it, but now away from the big camp, he is the supreme commander here, and we people don't want to do it, so we can only slowly put it up.

When it rises to 70 meters, Qu Tushou also asks people to continue to put it high, up to 120 meters, but if you are not trained, you may not be able to go directly to this height, for people in modern society, 70 meters is at most 20 stories high, everyone can stand it, but now this era is different.

In desperation, he could only continue to put the rope up, and when he reached seventy-five meters, he could see the Arab army in the distance, and from Qu Tushou's position, it looked like a black shark in the desert, and it kept wriggling.

Qu Tushou could see clearly with a telescope that some of these Arab cavalry were riding war horses, but more were still riding camels, and these people did not have much on their bodies, except for the clothes on their bodies, they did not have any marching baggage.

This may be the reason why they can fight thousands of miles, they don't carry too many things on their bodies, they can grab where they go, so that they don't have logistical pressure, and now after arriving in the Western Regions, although there are a lot fewer towns in various places, they can still meet their food and drink, at least now it seems that they still have something to eat.

After letting people put themselves down, Qu Tushou came to his tent, there is also a set sand table here, which is almost the standard configuration of the Tang army, just staring at the map, there may be many places that are not so true, but if there is a sand table, it can give people a newer impact, and it can also make people think of more ways.

Now Qu Tushou has more than 100 artillery pieces in his hands, plus more than 200 ballistas, and there are enough musket teams under his hands, there is no problem in winning this battle, but to what extent it should be won, this is the most important thing.

The people who fought in the Western Regions were all human spirits, and now all the people are looking at Qu Tushou, we have given you this battle, but what kind of battle you can make is enough to show your personal ability.

Qu Tushou brought a deputy general from the capital, and this person was Feng Chuyi.

is in his fifties, and he was originally a deputy general in his father's hands, but after his father died, this person became a Huizhou mentioner.

It can be regarded as being marginalized, when there is no one in your capital, don't think about being able to rise too high, others will not give you this opportunity, it is already good to have this position, and when he came to the Western Regions later, he remembered a sentence left by his father, if you want a tiger general on the battlefield, then Feng Chuyi is definitely the best choice.

So after determining this matter, he hurried to write a letter to General Feng to see what people think, if there is no ambition of the year, we can't continue to persecute people, after all, most people want their wives and children to be hot on the kang, we have to give people this opportunity, if we don't give it, it is really a bit excessive.

Fortunately, this matter is very good, this old general still wants to fight the battlefield, if he can earn a title for future generations, then not to mention how happy, so he immediately came with his fifty veterans, and now followed Qu Tushou to the Western Regions.

"Young master, ah, no general......"

General Feng still followed the original title, after all, the person in front of him was Qu Tutong's eldest son, and he was also the object of his allegiance.

"If you have a way, just say, my old Feng is a rough person, I really can't think of a way, back then your father also knew that he was on the battlefield, you told me how to kill me, I will kill me, there will definitely be no delay, but if I am asked to find a way, I really can't think of a fart solution, this brain is born so stupid."

Seeing Qu Tushou staring at the sand table for a long time, this old guy really couldn't help it, what kind of solution did he come up with, you should say it now, if you continue to be silent like this, it will really be fatal.

"I thought about it carefully for a long time, there is no place for opportunistic tricks at all, first of all, all the surrounding areas are desert and the terrain is flat, so we have to surround them, but they have to have at least eighty or ninety thousand people, it is too difficult to surround them, we can only choose to surround some of them."

Qu Tushou came to such a conclusion after careful analysis, but it made Lao Feng next to him a little unhappy, we finally got this opportunity, if we don't kill these eighty or ninety thousand people, then wouldn't we have completed the task? Will people still give you this opportunity in the future?

Lao Feng nodded, of course he knew that he didn't have many brains, and he couldn't say much about the combat strategy, but he understood this truth. u

Lao Feng nodded, of course he knew that he didn't have many brains, and he couldn't say much about the combat strategy, but he understood this truth.

"You are right, but the actual situation is much worse than we expected, you look at their total number, originally thought it was about 70,000, now I estimate it to be more than 90,000, and there is a steady stream of people, in the end it is likely to be as high as 100,000 to 110,000 people, which is much more difficult than we originally thought, so I thought about the most intense shelling of them first......"

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and 70 percent of the battle plan you have formulated cannot be used, and this is not an isolated case, after all, it is impossible for the enemy to follow your ideas, even if you think about everything, to the point that you only need a small change from the enemy, your battle plan can be abandoned.

Qu Tushou's battle plan was very simple, that is, first use heavy artillery fire for a while, let them panic first, and then let Lao Feng lead the most elite 15,000 cavalry to rush over from the south side, and divide their army into two halves, and we only ate the half that we eat......
