1 Some readers asked why they didn’t use hot air balloons to bomb the Jiangbei Army. It’s simple. Because the target of the hot air balloon is so big, it will be shot down by the Jiangbei Army. The load of the hot air balloon is limited, and it can only carry dozens of grenades at a time, and it needs to be ignited by the fuse.
It explodes and the enemy will dodge when thrown down. Hot air balloons are mainly shot with rifles. This was already explained when fighting North Korea.
2 Some readers asked why not blockade the coast? Why not land in the south to kill the Jiangbei Army. Li Zhi did have fifty or sixty gunboats, but they could not block the Chinese coast. One ship blocked five hundred miles? An aircraft carrier with an early warning aircraft? As for landing
, could the protagonist land at the port and fight his way through, killing all the gentry along the coast? What impact would that have on the Jiangbei Army? All the gentry in the world support the Jiangbei Army, including those along the coast. Li Zhi would only get *
Chongzhen mobilized the soldiers and horses of the world to attack Li Zhi.
——————————
The soldiers trained by Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui were quite disciplined. The soldiers of Jiangbei Army rushed forward despite casualties.
When the skirmishers of Jiangbei Army rushed within 300 meters of the trench, the cannon in the bunker opened fire.
At this time, the Huben Army's artillery no longer needs to confront the Jiangbei Army's artillery. The barrels are not heated and can harvest the lives of the Jiangbei Army's infantry.
Shotgun pellets sprayed out from the muzzle of the bunker, hitting the Jiangbei Army infantry who were bending forward.
Although the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army formed a loose skirmishing formation, if the shotguns were fired at a height of 300 meters, the scattering range would be very wide. Therefore, the lethality was still considerable. At least thousands of Jiangbei Army soldiers were shot.
, screaming and falling into a pool of blood.
Shi Kefa turned pale when he saw that his cannons were useless, while the cannons of the Huben Army were bombarding the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army wantonly.
In fact, Shi Kefa never thought about relying on the Jiangbei Army to defeat Li Zhi. Shi Kefa only has more than 40,000 Formosa rifles so far, and there is no possibility of a decisive battle with Li Zhi. In fact, Shi Kefa could not even completely blockade Huai'an City.
, 40,000 new rifles cannot completely isolate the 30,000 people on the city wall.
All Shi Kefa wanted to do was rely on the power of the Jiangbei Army to attract as many Tiger and Ben troops as possible to the city of Huai'an. Li Zhi had offended too many people. As long as the war continued, more and more enemies would join Shi Kefa's camp to attack.
Li Zhi, such as North Korea.
Shi Kefa sent the Nanjing Minister of Rites to North Korea last month. Now that the south wind is blowing, the sailboat can only go north, and the Minister of Rites has not returned yet. But Shi Kefa's informant in Liaodong has sent back the news that the North Korean king has ordered the two countries in the country to
The nobles of the class revolted and attacked Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was already besieged on all sides, but the only troops Li Zhi could use were 60,000 tigers and soldiers.
In Shi Kefa's eyes, Li Zhi had fallen into the quagmire of siege by bandits and the Jiangbei Army. As long as hundreds of thousands of Korean soldiers and horses gave Li Zhi a fatal blow from the northeast, Li Zhi's fragile body would inevitably collapse.
This was a beautiful situation that Shi Kefa thought about day and night and longed for.
However, what happened on the battlefield at this time told Shi Kefa that everything he thought was fantasy. Li Zhi's methods seemed to be endless. When it was clear that his troops were insufficient, he actually came up with such a system of using trench defense.
.
Shi Kefa felt like he was being played by Li Zhi.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army abandoned two to three thousand corpses before finally attacking within 200 meters of the trench.
Jiangbei Army began to fight against Huben Army.
However, Jiangbei's army, which rushed into the enemy's territory with bloodshed, soon discovered that their sacrifice was in vain.
When the Huben Army shot in the trench, only one head was exposed, which was smaller than the body area exposed in the crenellations on the city wall. If the Jiangbei Army wanted to kill the Huben Army, they had to hit the forehead of the Tiger Army soldier steadily. Only by hitting the center of the forehead could they do it.
To kill, if it hits the side of Tiger Ben Army's steel helmet, the bullet will be bounced off by the strong steel helmet.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Huben Army were shooting at the Jiangbei Army in the trenches at the same level. They no longer needed to block the guns with waste paper and the speed was faster. It used to take eighteen or nine seconds to fire once, but now it takes fifteen seconds.
One shot can be fired in seconds. In the time it takes Jiangbei's army to fire three bullets, Huben's army can fire four.
The Tigers and Ben troops fired in the trenches, and their hit rate was even higher. When leaning down from the city wall, the bullets flew downwards. If they missed the target, they quickly penetrated into the ground. But when shooting from the trenches, the bullets flew downwards.
s, bullets always fly horizontally, and the probability of stray bullets hitting other skirmishers in the back row is also increased.
But Jiangbei's army faced the little heads in the trenches and had absolutely no possibility of using stray bullets to kill people.
If the original exchange ratio between Jiangbei Army and Huben Army could still be maintained at five to one or six to one, now the exchange ratio has directly reached more than ten to one.
This still only counts the exchange ratio at time s. The casualties caused by artillery bombing and the casualties before rushing into s are not included.
Front-loaded rifled guns cannot be loaded while lying down. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army standing on the dirt without any protection were facing off against the Huben Army hiding behind the trenches. They could no longer hold on any longer.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The reloaded heavy artillery fired at the Jiangbei Army again. Without an opponent, the Huben Army's artillery was like a wild beast that had lost its natural enemy, slaughtering lives on the battlefield unscrupulously. There was a burst of blood in front of the Jiangbei Army's formation, and an unknown number of people fell.
In shotgun pellets.
Jiangbei Army collapsed.
They only fought against the Tigers and Ben troops for two rounds before they could no longer bear the massacre and fled to the rear in panic.
But even as they were escaping, tricky rifle bullets were still killing them. The soldiers who escaped slowly were shot in the back before they could take a few steps, and fell to the battlefield screaming.
Shi Kefa looked at the infantrymen who collapsed in embarrassment on the battlefield and let out a long sigh. Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui's faces were ashen and speechless.
The senior officials of Jiangbei Army did not expect that the battle would end like this.
The 160,000 Jiangbei Army was blocked by Huai'an's 30,000 Tiger Guard Army and was unable to move forward even one step.
And looking at the current situation, it seems that the Tiger Army does not need 30,000 people, and only fewer people are needed to defend the key stronghold of Huai'an.
To Zuo Liangyu's right, his general Zhao Zhu knelt helplessly on the ground, without even the strength to stand up. Zhao Zhu's 10,000 infantrymen rushed to the front this time, and at least 10,000 people were killed.
He paid five thousand and was completely disabled.
Li Zhi's trench system looks very simple, but in defensive warfare, it is extremely effective.
How did Li Zhi come up with such a system? He had never heard of such a tactic before? How could Li Zhi master such a system so well when he invented it? Is he really a star from the sky descending to earth?
Although Shi Kefa and others did not believe in ghosts and gods, they were shocked by Li Zhi's methods and felt speechless.
Shi Kefa's beard trembled slightly. He looked at the unremarkable bunker, trenches and barbed wire fences in the distance, and said helplessly: "Thief Li has good tricks..."
"It's really a good idea..."
Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui looked at each other, their faces turning pale.
Could it be that this time the Chuang Army, Jiangbei Army and North Korea besieged Li Zhi, and they would all be defeated by Li Zhi?
Seeing that the Jiangbei Army was defeated, cheers rang out in the trenches of the Huben Army. They defeated the Jiangbei Army with extremely low casualties. Such a battle made the soldiers feel relaxed and happy.
Li Zhi was also in the trench. He said loudly: "Everyone fought bloody battles. It was not easy! All soldiers were rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
The soldiers were even happier and cheered at the top of their lungs.
Zheng Kaicheng walked up to Li Zhi, cupped his hands and said, "The Duke's magical methods! My subordinates really admire him. Now with this trench system, even if the Duke takes away 10,000 people, Zheng Kaicheng can still defend Huai'an."
Li Zhi smiled and nodded, patting Zheng Kaicheng on the shoulder. chaptererror;
