Chapter 1339: Assault
Come and don't be rude, since the thief army took out all the ancestor-level long-range weapons, and almost injured Lu Daqi and others, Chang Yu had to return the fangs, so he ordered the Shenji battalion to bombard.
Subsequently, Wu Weiying mobilized 20 tiger squatting artillery bombardments, although the rammed earth platform on the opposite bank was more than 100 meters away to bomb the hornet's nest, and even fell a section.
This also provoked the thief army, swishing search, dozens of strong crossbows broke through the air, the gunners of the Shenji battalion couldn't dodge and were injured a few people, Lu Daqi and others were shocked, guessing that the thief army had at least dozens of foot crossbows or divine arm crossbows, and the range of this thing and the tiger squat cannon were only slightly weaker.
Wu Weiying hurriedly ordered the gunners to withdraw out of the opponent's range and start bombarding, but this distance was almost to the limit of the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the damage to its position was already very small. Of course, if the two captured red-coated cannons were pulled to shoot at a range, it would definitely be enough, but it was a bit overkill, and the two cannons were still lying on the north bank of the Qingtong River because they were too cumbersome and the officers and soldiers did not have a big boat to cross the water.
Wu Weiying, who had suffered a dark loss, could just stop there, and asked the general cannon to bombard, this tiger with a slightly stronger range squatted on the cannon, and bombarded the opponent with dozens of cannons in one go.
After this toss, it was already dark, and the various departments were still busy camping and making fires, Chang Yu summoned the generals to arrange the precautions, and the departments were on duty, and Chang Yanling was in charge that night.
Camping is never a trivial matter, not to mention that the terrain here is too complicated, the north is the Yangtze River, the south is a big lake, the thief army has a boat can sneak attack from the waterway at any time, so the waterside can not camp, the north side of the lake is almost all hills, and the long and narrow water area that stretches out has been dug by the thief army to connect the Yangtze River.
Even the lake behind the hills may also be attacked by the thief army, so they can't camp next to the hills, it can be said that there are empty doors almost everywhere, so that the thief army has a chance to take advantage of it, which makes Chang Yu and others have to be careful to take precautions.
In the end, they chose to set up a large camp on the east side of Shangxiao Lake.
Shangxiaohu is a small lake between the Yangtze River and Pingtian Lake, there is a lot of land from the west where the thief army dug off the broken stream, and there is also a place from the north and south from the Yangtze River and Pingtian Lake, no matter where the thieves come from to sneak attack, there is a buffer place, so Chang Yu ordered the main camp to be stationed here, and the deputy camp in the king's body is stationed on the west side of Shangxiao Lake to monitor the broken stream, which is also the most frontline.
At the same time, a number of light and dark sentinels and patrols were set up on the banks of the river and lake, and if the thieves landed on the shore from the waterway, they would send out a warning signal as soon as possible, so that the camp had time to respond.
It can be said that this camping is the most careful one after Chang Yu went south, because he knows that Bai Wang will definitely not let him sleep well, and he will definitely come to disturb him, and he will do the same if he changes the angle and place.
Sure enough, in the dead of night, when the generals were about to disperse in Chang Yu's tent, they heard the sound of shouting and cheering from the north and south, and the camp was quickly woken up one after another.
The generals did not panic but looked at each other and smiled, the thieves' actions were all expected by them, and they were expected to attack the camp with all their might, because at this time they did not have the strength, they were just attacking.
To put it bluntly, although I can't kill you, I won't make you comfortable!
On the high platform watchtower a few miles away, Bai Wang squinted at the stars and fires in the distance, and those places were all camps for officers and soldiers. Gradually, the fire flickered continuously, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and hundreds of people could stir up tens of thousands of chickens and dogs in his camp, and his heart was really happy!
But he also knew that this was also the only means and time he could make the officers and men unhappy at the moment, and once it was daylight, he could only watch the officers and men make all kinds of offensive preparations.
Perhaps in three days at most, the officers and soldiers will attack, and what tactics will they use to attack?
Bai Wang couldn't guess.
For a frontal attack, the officers and men must at least take nearly half a horse to fill the hole.
Attack on both flanks by water? I have hundreds of laughing boats in my hands, and the soldiers are all water-based, how can the officers and soldiers use rafts without boats?
If you use a raft, it is not impossible, Bai Wangsi frowned here, the surrender of troops in the king's body is water-based, and it is also known from the confessions of the officers and soldiers that most of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing are also water-based...... Maybe the next main battlefield is on the water, and it seems that I have prepared a lot .......
The bandit army did not stop all night, either suddenly landing and killing the big camp from a certain place in Pingtian Lake in the south, or rising from a certain place on the riverside, or launching an attack in both places at the same time.
And the soldiers in the battalion are even more so, every time the alarm signal sounds, they have to turn over and get up and enter a state of readiness, several times overnight, which really makes the people's hearts panic and miserable.
It was not until after dawn that there was no cover of night, and every move of the thief army was under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, and they could not carry out a sneak attack, so they withdrew their troops back to the camp, and the officers and soldiers were relieved, and at this time, both the soldiers in the camp and the soldiers on duty were exhausted.
Unexpectedly, Chang Yu slept very well, when the thief army withdrew, he had already gotten up to wash, and when he saw Wu Zhong outside the tent grinding his knife with red eyes, he was very puzzled: "Why is there such a big anger?" ”
"How can you not be angry if you don't sleep well after being disturbed by the attack, these dog-day thieves, Lao Tzu has to kill a few to vent his anger today!" Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
"Didn't you be on duty last night, when you were on duty, you couldn't sleep if they didn't come to disturb you" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, Wu Zhong was stunned for a while, and touched his head: "It seems to be so."
"Usually you sleep when you're on duty?" Chang Yu was furious: "I don't know what happened when I lost Lao Tzu's head one day!" ”
No, no, Wu Zhong waved his hand vigorously, got up and held the knife and slipped away: "It's dawn, I'll go make up for sleep."
Chang Yu didn't bother with him anymore, and just wanted to go to the lake to wash his face, he saw Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others also outside the tent, staring at the thief ships on the river in the distance and frowning.
"I haven't slept yet, I just got up" Chang Yu shouted and pulled everyone's attention back, and came to salute one after another: "This night of tossing, although I know that the thunder and rain are small, I can't sleep noisily" Wu Sangui said with a wry smile.
"Then make up for sleep during the day and go to sleep!" Chang Yu smiled: "If he can do the first year of junior high school, let's do the fifteenth!" ”
"Does the Overseer mean to make them nervous when we wake up and rest, and make them nervous with a feint?" Marco asked with a grin.
Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "What's the point of that, let's him at night" Everyone was stunned, and then looked at each other and laughed.
The army was pressing, Bai Wangzi couldn't sleep well, he would wake up almost every other hour, he was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the afternoon and sweated, got out of the tent and took a shower by the lake, Yuan Sanzhong walked over with a black face: "It seems that the handsome man is not bad."
Bai Wang was stunned: "Officers and soldiers want to attack from the waterway?" ”
Yuan Sanzhong nodded: "He started cutting trees early in the morning and didn't do anything else, except for building rafts, I really don't understand what to do with cutting so many trees."
Hearing this, Bai Wang's face suddenly turned gloomy: "If this is the case, we should also prepare more ......" said and suddenly sneered: "If he wants to fight in the water, we have to accompany him to the end, although he has many soldiers and generals, but the raft is different from the bamboo raft, which is cumbersome and easy to sink and cannot carry many people, which is far less flexible than our boat."
Yuan Sanzhong snorted: "And there are more than 20,000 people, even if they cut down the trees of this Pingtian Lake and build not so many rafts, even if they can, it will not be done in three or two days, at least more than a month, it will not take so long, so it can attack from the waterway at most three or five thousand is enough, we can still deal with it."
"That is to say, the two wings of the waterway are only one of its offensive routes, and the dog eunuch still has to do both!" Bai Wang's face sneered continuously: "No matter how he attacks, let's fight him hard, and then retreat to the south of the Qingxi River to block him again, and see how many people are left when he touches the city wall!" ”
"But if he still has the strength to touch the city wall, what is the boss going to do, it is still ...... to defend the city" Yuan Sanzhong frowned and asked, Bai Wang hesitated: "Wouldn't the defender of the city let the dog eunuch surround the urn to catch turtles, since we retreated south to the south of the Qiupu River to fight him, we have a boat in our hands to come and go freely, so we will take advantage of these waterways to bury him here!" ”
"What about Chizhou City?" Yuan Sanzhong glanced back at the not-so-tall city wall, and Bai Wang's eyes were glazed: "Take away everything that can be taken away, and what you can't take away can't be left to them, so why bother pretending to be at this point."
Yuan Sanzhong snorted: "Rob the light, burn it all and kill it all, who knows what we did in another place, even if we know, it was done by the officers and soldiers."
Bai Wang glanced at him: "You know everything, but you still have to ask what to do!" ”
Yuan Sanzhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's go back to the old way again."
Bai Wang looked at the lake and fell into deep thought.
