Chapter eight hundred and twentieth seventh fight slowly
This was the only chance for the Peasant Army to repel the Runing Army in today's battle. However, due to the cowardice of the Peasant Army cavalry, they failed to achieve any results.
The waste of time allowed more Runing soldiers to rush into the earthen wall and form a larger square formation. Seeing that there was no chance, He Yaoqi could only order gold and let his cavalry charge towards them.
Then retreated.
As the trenches were filled and the earthen walls were opened, the chariots and artillery of the Runing Army were also transported up. Followed closely by the cavalry of the Runing Army. After a complete infantry, cavalry and artillery formation was formed, today
The battle situation is doomed.
"Old Tian! Take people to Yanggu Town quickly, withdraw the troops there, and run to King Chuang!" He waved his flag and ordered Tian Jianxiu.
"Eh!"
"Er Hu! You personally take people to King Chuang and tell him that this place can't hold any more. Let him assemble his team and retreat to Henan Mansion!" At this point, He Yaoqi let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of helplessness.
He added, "Don't worry about Kaifeng City anymore."
"yes!"
"I'll just block here! As long as I can block it, that's all." He Yaoqi finally said. Although these words sounded very tragic, He Yaoqi's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it even sounded like his own.
As if talking to himself, he seemed to have very little confidence.
Seeing the Runing Army conquering the trenches and earthen walls smoothly, there was no intention of stopping. The current pause was just for the Runing Army to form a team. But He Yaoqi knew that as long as the entire team was completed, Runing
The army will launch a new round of offensive.
He Yaoqi felt bitter in his heart. He never thought that the gap between the two armies was so huge. It was like a child fighting with a strong man. The Runing army completely crushed the peasant army in all aspects. It was really disappointing.
What a situation!
In fact, He Yaoqi does not need to be so desperate. To be honest, the gap between the two armies is not as big as it appears today. The main reasons why the peasant army lost are: the gap in economic strength, the gap in combat will, and the gap in logistics equipment.
If we only compare the quality of individual soldiers, those veterans of the Peasant Army who survived by licking their swords are actually not that bad.
What's particularly important is that the Runing Army has adopted firearms as their main equipment, and has developed brand-new tactics around firearms that are suitable for exerting the power of firearms. Even for the defense and mobility of firearms,
, have developed various types of tanks.
What about the peasant army? They have a lot of firearms, but their sophistication is far different. What's worse is that the tactics of the peasants' firearms still use the same old tactics from the bow and arrow era. How can they be undefeated?
Words: This is the victory of the era of hot weapons over the era of cold weapons.
Compared to Yang Rusong on the right, Shumo's troops were attacking one after another, while Runing's army in the middle was taking their time. After deciding to rush to Kaifeng City, Wu Shigong's personal guards also moved forward and merged with Xue Yongli's troops.
Jointly attack the main force of Li and Luo's coalition forces.
A long row of tanks covered the approach of the Runing Army, and the Peasant Army's side had obviously been ravaged by the Runing Army's artillery fire. The earthen wall was no longer very complete, and all the artillery had disappeared.
However, due to the large amount of labor, the Li and Luo Allied Forces did not just dig a trench. They built trenches, earthen walls, fences, and horse barriers... The fortifications they built were layer upon layer in order to block the advance of the Runing Army.
The Runing Army has also successfully captured several lines of defense of the Peasant Army. However, this one is relatively large. In addition to trenches and earth walls, a large number of Peasant Army soldiers are also gathered behind the earth walls.
Those peasant soldiers were hiding behind the earth wall. They were holding swords, guns, firecrackers and bows and arrows, waiting for the Runing army to fill the ditch and attack. Even behind the gap in the earth wall, there were a large number of peasant soldiers ambushing, and they were also preparing to
Fighting hand-to-hand with Runing's army.
In the rear position of the Runing Army, a huge watchtower had been built long ago. Wu Shigong, Xue Yongli and other officers were watching the battle with telescopes on the watchtower. Although due to craftsmanship problems, the telescopes could not see clearly.
It was very clear, but the densely packed peasant soldiers ambushing behind the earth wall could still be seen.
Seeing this scene, Wu Shigong smiled at Xue Yongli and said: "Haha! Those bastards are all dreaming. They are waiting to fight us head-on."
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Xue Yongli smiled slightly. He pointed to the dozens of new siege equipment being installed behind the row of tanks, which were covered by the tanks, and asked Wu Shigong: "Uncle! Have you tried that thing?"
How is the effect?"
"Don't worry! Although the workshop department is in a hurry to make it, we have tried it several times and heard that the effect is good. But if the effect is not good, then I will go back to Runing tomorrow to give Yang Goudan a good beating."
Wu Shigong joked.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the top of the watchtower.
In the first year of Chongzhen, when Wu Shigong went north to King Qin, he obtained the unique gunpowder weapons of the Ming Dynasty-a swarm of bees and ten thousand enemies. And a swarm of bees had been commonly used in the Runing army, but ten thousand enemies only made a few hundred.
, equipped to each city as an auxiliary defense weapon.
At that time, the officers and soldiers of King Qin's Runing Army had all seen the power of ten thousand enemies, and the killing effect of ten thousand enemies in dense crowds was quite good. Even soldiers wearing heavy armor could not withstand this primitive flamethrower.
.Therefore, the soldiers of the Runing Army always felt a little pity that such sharp weapons were gathering dust.
So someone came up with the idea of a throwing instrument - a catapult. Using the catapult in conjunction with an enemy of ten thousand people would enhance the range of this weapon and inflict huge damage to the dense enemy troops.
However, after final calculations, the performance of catapults is far inferior to that of artillery, and it is inconvenient to move. The enemy will not be stupid enough to line up in a dense formation and stand in front of a huge catapult. Therefore, if you want to use it, you can only use it in the attack.
City battle.
In addition, the Runing Army has been in Runing, and the two prefectures of Guide are keeping a low profile and are not in a hurry to attack the cities outside the two prefectures. Therefore, the Workshop Department discontinued this weapon after building several experimental catapults.
Manufacturing plan.
Of course, the technical research and development on catapults has also been ongoing. After all, the Runing Army will eventually go out one day, and the catapults will eventually be used when the enemy has tens of thousands of enemies.
When Wu Shigong returned from Liaodong, he immediately decided to devote himself to the struggle for world hegemony. So the Workshop Department also arranged for manpower to manufacture a batch of ten thousand enemies, and then manufactured the core components of more than a dozen catapults according to the previous drawings.
.And the Runing Army brought this kind of weapon to the battlefield during this expedition.
In today's battle, the Runing Army began to assemble catapults, just to see the effectiveness of this weapon. Therefore, the Runing Army has regarded this battle as a testing ground for new weapons. (To be completed.
