Chapter 305: All the People Are Soldiers
Even if the commander Wu Jingtian did not issue this military order, the three generals would take the initiative to ask and bring more than half of their lost subordinates into the city.
Otherwise, your subordinates would only need one attack from the Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry and they would lose all their losses.
So, as soon as the head coach Wu Jingtian finished speaking, the three generals showed a heartfelt surprise on their faces and replied loudly: "Mr. Xie... I will go and take the remaining brothers into the city immediately..."
After the three subordinates who left hurriedly disappeared completely from their own vision, Wu Jingtian's eyes gathered on the military advisor next to him again. He asked with a puzzled face: "Military advisor, I have already done your first suggestion..."
"But, for the second opinion, I don't understand... When the number of firearms is limited, no matter how many brothers I give me, I can't further increase the strength and strength of our firearms troops..."
With several eyes on the same time, the military advisor spoke and analyzed: "Master, whether it was the battle last night or the rumors about the Tiger and Leopard Army in the past. One thing we cannot deny is that the muskets equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army are far superior to us in terms of range and rate of fire..."
"In this case, if the two armies of musketeers shoot at each other, even if we have the cover of the city wall, we will suffer a lot of casualties. This will lead to a large number of casualties in the process of fighting..."
Seeing that several people, including Wu Jingtian, nodded with agreement, the military advisor urgently needed to analyze: "Let's not talk about whether our trap to Baode County this time can achieve the goal of killing and killing the Tiger and Leopard Army in large numbers. There is also a fact that everyone cannot deny, that is, we have been trapped in the county town of Baode County."
"At this time, regardless of whether we can achieve the goal of sending troops, quitting Baode County alive has become our ultimate goal invisibly."
"But, if you want to withdraw from Baode County alive, one thing you must do is to force the Tiger and Leopard Army to take the initiative to withdraw."
"Otherwise, under the pursuit of the superior cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, we, who only have infantry, will never escape the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry on the field battlefield..."
"At this point, the student said it was back... If we want to force the Tiger and Leopard Army to retreat, there is only one way for us now... In the next city defense battle, a large number of killing Tiger and Leopard Army will have vitality."
"From the current equipment of the enemy and our army, only our artillery and musketeers can play a killing role in the Tiger and Leopard Army. Therefore, after the battle starts, under the counterattack of the Tiger and Leopard Army's superior musketeers, no matter how much the losses of our musketeers and gunners must be filled in and maintain our firepower."
"We can't kill a musketeer by the Tiger and Leopard Army. We will lose one musketeer... and kill a gunner, and we will lose one gunner... Not long after the battle begins, we will fall into an embarrassing situation where a large number of musketeers and artillery are vacant, but no one will use it..."
As a veteran who has been through the battlefield, Wu Jingtian's wisdom is definitely more than most people in the lobby.
So, as soon as the military advisor finished speaking, Wu Jingtian's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke frankly to the military advisor and asked, "Military advisor, what you mean is that even if we don't have enough muskets and artillery, we must teach our brothers to use muskets and artillery..."
"After the battle begins, as long as there are free muskets and cannons, these brothers will be sent to the city wall to participate in the war."
"In this way, as long as the muskets and artillery we equipped are not destroyed, we will have a steady stream of musketeers and artillery soldiers participating in the war... Through fierce and dense firepower, we will kill a large number of tiger and leopard troops who want to attack our Tiger and Leopard Army."
The military advisor shouted: "The great commander is wise...this is what the student means..."
Hearing this, Wu Jingtian shouted loudly: "This is indeed a good idea... I originally planned to use the seven or eight thousand brothers outside the city as cannon fodder. Now it seems that cannon fodder is no longer used..."
"It is said that I will order... After the brothers outside the city enter the city, they will immediately learn to use muskets and cannons... They must learn to use muskets before the Tiger and Leopard Army attacks us..."
The military advisor followed and added: "Master... not only these brothers who were preparing to enter the city must learn to use muskets and artillery, but also the 4,000 spearmen stationed in the city must learn to..."
"Although the four thousand musketeers were to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from killing the close-range fighting troops behind the city wall, they also had to learn to use muskets and artillery just in case..."
"In addition, the students also heard from the Tartars that when the Tiger and Leopard Army attacked Zuoyun half a year ago, they directly used explosives to blow up the Zuoyun city wall."
"In order to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from approaching the city wall, we should bury explosives under the city wall... We also need to arrange rolling wood and rolling stones, as well as boiling water on the city wall... As long as the Tiger and Leopard Army approaches the city wall, we will throw the rolling wood and rolling stones downwards and pour boiling water..."
Wu Jingtian, who was deeply convinced, shouted loudly: "Just do as the military advisor said... If you can't find enough rolling stones and wood in the city, you will demolish the house.... Let the military advisor do this..."
The day after the rebel coach Wu Jingtian made the decision, the small-scale county town of Baode County began to sound like gunfire and thunderous shelling sounds.
At this time, after anxiously waiting, Wei Zheng also welcomed 15,000 musketeers and artillery soldiers under Zhou Yuhong's personal command.
As soon as the infantry arrived, Wei Zheng planned to attack Baode County and eliminate tens of thousands of rebels who were still stationed in Baode County.
In Wei Zheng's eyes, these traitors who are inferior to beasts will live one more day in this world.
So, Zhou Chenguang, who had just returned from the investigation in Baode County, had not had time to take a breath, but was called by Wei Zheng to the commander's tent in the middle of the military camp.
As for Zhao Yun and Zhou Yuhong, they had already sat in the big tent, waiting for Zhou Chenguang to arrive.
Walking into the big tent, Zhou Chenguang had just saluted Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "General Zhou... I won't say much nonsense. Let me first introduce the current situation of the rebels in Baode County to me and the two generals..."
"Yes, the Grandmaster..."
Under Wei Zheng's gaze, Zhou Chenguang quickly told the situation he had detected.
When Wei Zheng heard all the rebels outside the city retreat into the city, and gunfire sounded for a whole day in the city, Wei Zheng's brow frowned.
After taking a deep breath, he said to himself to his subordinates in front of him: "The gunshots and cannons in Baode County must have been issued by the rebels in training."
"Removing all the remaining seven or eight thousand people outside the city into the city, and constantly training musketeers and gunners... From this situation, this rebel intends to use artillery and muskets to kill us in large quantities when we attack the city..."
At this time, Zhao Yun, who personally participated in the night attack battle, spoke: "Although the general... the last general does not know the specific equipment of the traitors in the city. However, judging from the night attack the night before yesterday, this traitor is equipped with at least thirteen medium-sized Folang machines..."
"The range of shotguns fired by the medium-sized Folang cannon is between 100 and 180 steps, and the range of our flintlock gun is 150 steps, which is exactly within the range of the rebels' medium-sized Folang cannon.
"After the battle started, the bullets shot from these medium-sized Folang machines were enough for our army musketeers..."
Zhou Yuhong, who personally directed the Zuoyun battle half a year ago, followed and reminded him: "Not only are the artillery soldiers, but also their musketeers..."
"Although the muskets equipped with rebels are far less than us, as long as we attack the city, they will rush into the range of their muskets."
"You know, this time we are facing traitors who are worse than beasts and have long stopped taking life and death seriously. In addition, their retreat has been cut off by us, so there is only one way to fight us to the death. Unlike the night attack the night before yesterday, they can also defeat the battlefield and escape."
"In Baode County, no matter how much they escape, they cannot escape the pursuit of our Tiger and Leopard Army."
"In this case, I believe that the traitor commander in the city will definitely take advantage of this and turn the traitors under their command into madmen who do not know life and death. At that time, after the battle begins, these traitors who want to survive will definitely not retreat due to their own casualties..."
"In this way, if we want to capture Baode County and eliminate tens of thousands of rebels in the county, we must face the rounds of lead bullets that the rebels came out of the city and continue to attack forward..."
"Only in this way can we rush to the foot of the city wall, bury explosives, and blow up a gap in the city wall..."
Zhou Yuhong had just finished speaking, and Zhou Chenguangtian, who suddenly thought of something, followed and added.
"Master, two generals... I have another situation that is very unfavorable to us..."
"Maybe the traitors in the city are ready to trap Baode County... In one day today, these traitors actually blocked all four gates of Baode County with bricks and stones..."
"In this case, even if our blasting hands rushed to the corner of the city wall, we had to face the attack of the traitors, dig holes under the corner of the city wall, place explosives, and blow up the city wall..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuhong's frown became deeper and said to Wei Zheng without any concealment: "Master, in this way, the casualties faced by the attacking troops will be greater... It is rare to blow up the city wall with explosives, and it will become very large."
