Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters lure the enemy
More than 500 spearmen and swords and shields defend against the city walls that stretch for two miles. No matter how capable the deputy general is, it is impossible to be able to cover everything.
Soon, the killing speed of the Yangquan defenders was not as good as the speed of the Guan Jun climbing up the city wall.
As time passed little by little, the number of officials fighting against the defenders on the city walls became more and more. The battlefield situation was developing step by step in a direction that was unfavorable to the defenders.
More importantly, some of the government troops who rushed to the city to invest saw that the defenders were inadequate in their defense. They actually crossed the defenders' very weak defense line and rushed towards the bombers who were still throwing grenades out of the city.
How could a bomb thrower who only equips with grenades and not even equipped with a self-defense sword?
Within a few breaths, the dozens of bomb droppers left on the city wall were completely killed.
The official army that lost the bomb thrower and gathered at the corner of the city wall finally disappeared from the attack from grenades. Under such circumstances, more and more official army began to climb up to the city wall through ladders, further compress the activity space of the defenders at the city wall, expand the breakthrough, and occupy the entire Yangquan County town step by step by step by step by occupying the city wall.
Just when Yangquan County was in an unprecedented crisis, a reinforcement unit with five hundred spearmen and three hundred bombers. Under the order of the garrison general Tan Liguo, he appropriately rushed up the city wall and joined the battle...
The five hundred spearmen join the battle, strengthening the already weak and loophole-free defense line.
At the same time, the three hundred bomb throwers, protected by the spearmen, climbed up to the thick wall, ignited the grenade fuse directly, and threw grenades outside the city.
Faced with the sudden violent explosion, the official army climbing along the ladder towards the city wall was directly blown to the ground.
As more and more grenades fell under the corner of the city wall, the explosion occurred.
On the city wall that stretched for two miles, no official army could escape the grenade attack and climb to the top of the city.
The official army fighting on the top of the city did not have subsequent forces to join the battle, while the Yangquan defender, who participated in the defense, had five hundred spearmen joining the battlefield...
One goes up and the other goes down, and the battlefield is not conducive to the situation of the Yangquan defenders, so they are directly tripped back by the Five Hundred Spearmen.
Soon, the hundreds of officials left on the city were stabbed completely by the spearmen.
As for the remaining remnants of the official army at the corner of the city wall, they retreated in a very embarrassing manner because they could not see hope.
After the battle, the garrison general Tan Liguo also climbed the city walls of corpses and wounded.
Seeing Tan Liguo with a serious face in front of him, the deputy general directly showed a look of shame on his face. After taking a deep breath, he said to Tan Liguo: "General, it was only because the last general underestimated the enemy that caused more than 700 soldiers to die on the battlefield... Please punish the general..."
Tan Liguo shook his head and came back: "Your matter will be talked about after the battle is over...I want to know what happened on the city just now... Why did such a violent explosion happen..."
Under Tan Liguo's clever eyes, the deputy general immediately told the fact that the official army was also equipped with grenades.
After hearing this, Tan Liguo nodded and affirmed: "You did underestimate the enemy in the battle just now..."
"If you can throw grenades in advance and prevent the government army from approaching the city walls. With our height advantage, it is absolutely impossible for the government army outside the city to throw grenades to us. In this case, the seven hundred soldiers would not be so unknown to be killed by the government army's grenades..."
Speaking of this, Tan Liguo changed his words and continued: "Of course, you can't blame you all--... After all, none of us expected that the official army that confronted us would be equipped with grenades in such a short time."
"Since the situation has changed, the tactics we just formulated are useless and we must change them..."
"How do you think we should deal with the grenades equipped by the government army."
The deputy general replied without thinking: "Use the method you just said... we can throw grenades to thirty steps outside the city. However, the official army outside the city attacked us cannot... Unless they rushed to 10 steps outside the city, it is impossible to throw grenades to the top of the city."
"So, in the next battle, as long as the official army rushed to thirty steps outside the city, we would throw grenades."
Tan Liguo shook his head and denied: "The idea is good... But, just as you were in the battle just now, hesitating whether to wait for the official army to rush to the foot of the city wall to maximize the power of the grenades. If the official army continues to attack us in a very loose formation, how many grenades we have can make the soldiers throw at the official army without restrictions."
"So, I will not agree with your proposal..."
Seeing the deputy general who was in deep thought in front of him, Tan Liguo, who flashed a smile on his face, directly reminded: "Why are you thinking about the battle that just ended... After the official attacking troops rushed to the city wall, will they still dare to continue to throw grenades at the top of the city?"
The deputy general's eyes lit up and he asked thoughtfully: "General, what do you mean is to let some of the officials climb the city wall..."
"The spearman killed the enemy on the top of the city, and the bomb thrower continued to throw grenades outside the city, and used grenades to kill the enemy..."
"In this case, the grenades equipped by the official army will lose their effect..."
"Yes, just fight like this..." Tan Liguo shouted.
Then, he continued to remind the deputy general in front of him: "In addition, the soldiers who defend the city wall should also equip more shields... Before the official army climbed the city wall, their bomb droppers would definitely throw a few rounds of grenades first."
"The city wall under our feet is only so wide. As long as the soldiers are equipped with enough shields and are fully prepared, they can use their shields to push the grenades falling from the sky out of the city wall before the grenade explodes..."
"In this case, no matter how many grenades the official army throws at us, it will be useless..."
"As long as you avoid the grenade attacks of the government army, let some of the government army climb to the top of the city, and let the spearmen fight with them. The grenades they equipped will completely lose their effect."
"At that time, the initiative of the entire battle will be controlled by us..."
The deputy general nodded and replied in a deep voice: "General is right, this is the best way to reduce the damage of the official army's grenades to us... Although the losses of the spearman and the sword and shield hands will be very large in close combat. However, this loss can definitely be regarded as minimal compared to the damage of the grenades to us."
