Looking at the retreating battalion commander Xiao Dan, who witnessed the entire battle process with his own eyes, did not say a word of criticism...

Because I also have great responsibility for the outcome of the defeat in front of me.

Soon, several battalion commanders in the regiment gathered around Xiao Dan. Based on the new situations on the battlefield, they discussed specific methods to attack the city and defeat the enemy.

After glanced at more than a dozen company battalion commanders, Xiao Dan immediately focused his attention on the cannon company commander and asked in a deep voice: "Company Commander Wang, I want to see how many artillery guns the city guarding official army has? With the entire regiment of artillery, can they be suppressed and eliminated..."

"Otherwise, our offensive troops would have no way to get close to the city wall..."

"After all, the lead bullets fired by the musket cannot turn and cannot kill the official artillery hiding in the city..."

Xiao Dan just finished speaking, the first battalion commander who suffered heavy losses immediately added...

"The regiment commander is right. The official army has arranged at least twenty cannons that can fire shots at the top of the city... Although these cannons are not very powerful... However, at close range, especially when firing shots, they can almost be called infantry nemesis... One by one, one by one, no matter how many soldiers we launch an attack, they cannot withstand the shots attacks of these cannons one after another..."

"Among the more than 200 brothers I just lost, more than 150 people were shot by the defenders with shotguns... As long as the shotguns fired by the defenders were hit, there was almost no possibility of rescue..."

Facing more than ten pairs of expected gazes that looked at him at the same time, the commander of the cannon company with a serious face, I really want to give everyone a positive answer and not let everyone down... However, in the face of his powerful strength, he could only shake his head helplessly...

The low-tongued answer: "Captain, based on the battlefield situation just now, I am sure that the Qingchuan defenders had a total of 18 red-clothed cannons and twenty-four Flang machine cannons that can fire shots... "For those Flang machine, indeed. I won't say much... With the strength of the artillery in the regiment, they can definitely suppress them to fight... However, those eighteen red-clothed cannons are not that easy to deal with... " "Either the range or the power of the flowering bullets, the red-clothed cannons are far more than the medium-sized mortars we equipped. Even the large-caliber heavy mortars of the division's heavy artillery battalion are not the opponent of these red-clothed cannons..."

On the battlefield, as soon as our mortars are fired, they will be attacked by the red-clothed cannons of the government... In addition, according to the arrangement of these red-clothed cannons, among all the artillery groups, only nine medium-sized mortars can reach them, and the artillery positions must be pushed to a position of 150 steps away from the city wall..."

"But, in this way, our mortar will become the target of the other party's red cannon... The other party will destroy us as much as it wants..."

After the commander of the cannon company finished speaking, the atmosphere around the regiment commander Xiao Dan became solemn.

Because, they all understood that without solving the opponent's artillery, relying solely on musketeers to launch an attack on Qingchuan County...that is not an attack, but a death sentence, so that the soldiers under their command have no meaning to die.

Just when everyone was lowering their heads and falling into deep thought.

The battalion commander with frown on his brow suddenly thought of something... His eyes lit up and he shouted...

"No, there is a way. The artillery company must have a way to solve the artillery troops of the defenders..."

"I remember, when I was fighting the capital again, the prince once proposed a style of attack... The situation was the same as now, and our artillery relied on this style of attack to destroy more than fifty red-clothed cannons in a short period of time... In the end, he directly defeated the artillery troops of the government army on the battlefield and never dared to show their heads..."

The regiment commander Xiao Dan, who was thinking hard, seemed to find a life-saving straw in despair. He subconsciously asked the first battalion commander...

"What kind of tactic..."

The first battalion commander shook his head and replied: "I don't know the specific name... I only know that our mortars are very light and very convenient to transfer... After firing a few guns, you can transfer to the next artillery position... And the red-clothed cannons of the government army were too heavy and could not be transferred... When the artillery fired, the flowering bullets fired by the red-clothed cannons of the government army could not hit our mortars at all, and they could only be beaten passively..."

Although the commander of the artillery company had never experienced that battle, as the company commander, he still had touched any artillery from the Ming Dynasty.

So, with just one reminder, he understood what is the advantage of his mortar compared to the red cannons of the government army.

When the regiment commander Xiao Dan and others focused their attention on the company commander again, the solemn expression on the company commander's face had been replaced by thoughtful thoughts.

Without asking everyone to wait too long, the company commander of the cannon company spoke up and said, "Captain, this method is feasible and it is worth a try..."

"Although the power of the red cannon of the government army is very strong, the shooting speed is very slow... It takes time for it to shoot a flowering bullet, and we can shoot at least two flowering bullets..."

"In addition, the red-clothed cannon is very bulky and has a foot of two thousand kilograms. It is very difficult to transfer and adjust the muzzle... As long as we transfer the mortars fast enough, the red-clothed cannons of the government army can only follow us and cannot kill us at all..."

The answer from the cannon company commander directly restored his confidence to the regiment commander Xiao Dan...

After confirming what the commander of the cannon company said again, he ordered very decisively: "Since that's the case, let's try it..."

"From now on, all mortars in the regiment will be commanded by the artillery company... The second and third battalions each issue a musket company's forces to launch a feint attack on Qingchuan County, forcing the official army to use artillery..."

This time, it was not the musketeers who first launched the attack on the city, but all the remaining light mortars in the regiment...

Fifteen mortars, two or three in groups, are scattered in large areas 150 steps away from the city wall.

Then, it was like a flowering bullet was worthless. I tried my best to shoot flowering bullets at the city...

In the face of attack, all the musketeers on the city wall are passively beaten.

As for the more than 20 Flanger cannons mounted on the top of the city, unless solid shells are fired, the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery was injured less than 150 steps away.

However, when they replaced the solid iron ball shells and began to fight back.

They suddenly discovered that the shells with a screaming sound looked powerful, but they had no lethality. Unless they hit the target directly, these whizzing iron balls would be scary at most.
