In order to solve the problem of incendiary bombs, the Central Plains Dynasty conducted a lot of research, and finally came up with it these days. The effect is still not a problem, but it is not like before. Not only the shells are unstable, but the barrel may also be damaged.
The current instability is just because the power is not a problem, but it is enough.
As long as it can be used, the army immediately wrote to the court, requesting support for a batch of incendiary bombs. Now that the Central Plains Dynasty only had one war left in the grasslands, it naturally had enough power to support the army. Without saying a word, a batch of incendiary bombs were transported to the front line.
The army also came with a group of master craftsmen who studied incendiary bombs. This time they came to the front line to record the effects of incendiary bombs. On the other hand, they also investigated on the front line what the frontline soldiers had to say about the use of artillery.
problem in order to facilitate future improvement plans for the artillery.
At present, the artillery used by the armies of the Central Plains are all of the same type, especially the artillery used by the land army and the artillery used by the navy. Now the war is basically over, Tubo and Xixia have been plundered, the internal situation has stabilized, and the imperial court's finances
Now that I am much healthier, I plan to advance the improvement of artillery, and at least develop some army-specific artillery and artillery shells for the army.
The frontline soldiers really had a lot of opinions and suggestions on the use of artillery. The biggest problem they responded to was that it was too heavy. Artillery was originally studied for the navy, and navy artillery was installed on ships. Relatively speaking, it is not suitable for the use of artillery.
The requirement for self-respect is not high, but power and range are what is pursued.
But for the army, it needs to consider the issue of self-weight. After all, if it is too heavy, it will be too difficult for the army to transport. Moreover, the army also needs some artillery that is easy to carry and not so powerful for small-scale battles.
The craftsmen collected various opinions, and after getting the incendiary bombs, the Central Plains army began to deploy their troops to besiege the Mengge Royal Court. They dispersed the main force to four directions, southeast, northwest, and surrounded the Mengge Royal Court.
live.
Regardless of the division of troops in the Central Plains, but including the Northwest Army, the Central Plains can guarantee that the army surrounding Meng Ge's court in four directions will not be less than 100,000. And don't forget, there are tens of thousands of players who are ready to fish in troubled waters.
Naturally, such a large-scale deployment of troops by the Central Plains army cannot be concealed from Brother Meng, but even though they knew that the Central Plains was about to be besieged, Brother Meng still could not do anything. Relying on the city defenses, they could still hold on for some time. If they had to leave the city, they would basically
It's a dead end.
Soon, the Central Plains army completed the siege of the Mengge Royal Court, and then the incendiary bombs finally began to show their power. The power of the incendiary bombs was quite powerful, especially against the prairie people. The houses of the prairie people were basically tents. Even the nobles in the city.
We all live in houses with wooden structures. The only fear of such a house is fire, and there is basically no way to save it in case of fire.
On the day the incendiary bombs were used, the court of King Mengge became a sea of flames.
There were fires everywhere, and the prairie people put out the fires with great efforts, but with little success. Often, just after one area was extinguished, another incendiary bomb would soon come over and the fire would reignite.
This caused the Mengge tribe's casualties to suddenly increase sharply. Most of them were burns. Although there were not many direct deaths, for Mengge, it would be better to burn them all directly. These wounded people have already lost their lives.
Although it has combat power, it still consumes food. This is too much pressure for the Mongke Dynasty, which has been completely besieged.
This is exactly the purpose of Zhongyuan. The two purposes of using incendiary bombs are to create casualties and weaken Meng Ge's strength. On the other hand, they also want to use incendiary bombs to destroy Meng Ge's stock. Unfortunately, although the first goal is achieved,
However, the second goal was not ideal. Meng Ge made preparations. The grain and grass storage was very safe. The incendiary bombs washed the ground and did not destroy much of Meng Ge's grain.
Of course, Brother Meng was not guarding against incendiary bombs, but was guarding against a sneak attack by the Central Plains army, so he stored them all in the palace basement. As a result, he accidentally prevented the incendiary bombs from the Central Plains.
Mengge's food reserves were saved, but after several days of incendiary bombings, almost half of the entire Mengge Royal Court was destroyed. This resulted in huge food losses among the people, and many people no longer had enough to eat.
Brother Meng really doesn't want to use the stock, but he has no choice. Many people have completely run out of food. If he doesn't care, so many people may starve to death. Just starve to death. Now that things have happened, Brother Meng has no choice.
I don’t care about the publicity, but I am afraid that these people will go crazy because of hunger and have other problems. If there is civil strife, Brother Meng will be in big trouble.
In the end, Brother Meng was forced to have no choice but to ruthlessly abandon those injured people for these people. Perhaps in Brother Meng's view, the role of these injured people who have lost their combat effectiveness is completely inferior to those of ordinary people. At least they can be fed with food and grass.
These people, who can't do anything else, can also help move materials.
Although what Brother Meng did was to maximize the use of food and grass, giving up on injuries was unintentionally very damaging to morale. The soldiers worked hard for him, but after being injured, he gave up directly. This chilled the morale of a large number of people.
Heart.
The Central Plains army also discovered very keenly that the morale of Meng Ge's defenders seemed to be somewhat poor. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they launched a wave of attacks and almost broke into the royal court of Meng Ge tribe.
If it weren't for the critical moment, Meng Ge had spent a lot of money to reward the soldiers, which somewhat restored some morale of the soldiers. Maybe the Central Plains army's tentative attack had already entered Meng Ge's royal city.
After the exploratory attack, the Central Plains army did not continue to send troops to attack. The Central Plains had already determined the siege tactics, and there was no need to attack again. At this time, even if they invaded the Mengge tribe, they would face brutal street fighting, so it was better to continue to implement it.
As for siege tactics, as long as the siege continues and the Mengge tribe runs out of ammunition and food before attacking again, the casualties will be much smaller.
The Central Plains army continued to bombard Mengge's palace with incendiary bombs and ordinary artillery shells. They even had artillery units approaching Mengge's tribe soldiers to the extreme range of their bows and arrows to bombard Mengge's palace.
Meng Ge was forced to hide in the underground palace, which was an extremely heavy blow to the Meng Ge tribe.
There is no chance of winning, and there are no reinforcements. The entire Mengge tribe can't see any hope, but Mengge is still persisting. Sometimes Zeng Yi can't understand, is it meaningful for Mengge to persist like this?
After thinking about it, this is probably the self-esteem of these heroes who do not want to admit defeat. This is true from the Tubo Emperor to the Xixia Emperor to Brother Meng. But this self-esteem may lead his entire tribe to the abyss.
