Chapter 1052: Fierce Battle (Thirty-two)
The Tatar garrison said, "Get the Rocket Army ready." ”
The little soldier on the side immediately waved the red flag.
"What, do you want to launch a rocket directly?" Another Tatar guard asked.
The Tatar army guard nodded and said, "Yes, I thought that this time the Han army must have come prepared, and it must be to guard against our rockets!" ”
Another Tarnu army guard said: "That's right, but I see that the Han army is still some distance away from our city, and I'm afraid that if we launch a rocket now, we won't be able to hit the Han army, right?" ”
The Tatar army guard said, "If you want me to say, this Han army can't always be so far away from the city wall!" As soon as they walked in, then the rocket was launched. ”
The other Tatar garrison nodded and said, "It's okay to do that." ”
The soldier finished swinging his chess pieces, and a red-clothed Tarnu soldier under the iron wall outside climbed onto the wall, waiting for another command of the banner.
On Cao Wen's side, an adjutant general said: "General, look, there are people on the walls of the Tatar army. ”
Cao Wen nodded, smiled, and said, "They're going to launch rockets again." ”
"Well, definitely, yes. General, are we going to go in or not? The lieutenant asked.
Cao Wen thought for a while and said, "Of course, don't go in first, let the grenadier be ready." The artillery was aimed at the small city gate.
"Yes, General." The lieutenant arched his hand and said.
This time, Cao Wen led an army of 40,000 people and went directly to the main gate of Zhangzhou City, and he wanted to attack this Zhangzhou City from the main gate. He had already inquired, and the total number of defenders in this Zhang Zhou was 50,000. And the 40,000 men he brought with him were a bit insufficient. But don't be afraid, Wu Qing has already ambushed an army of 20,000 people on the periphery, as long as the finance here launches signal flares. The 20,000 men would immediately rush into the city to join Cao Wen's army and annihilate the Tarnu army in Zhangzhou City.
However, this iron wall has a special feature, in this west, there is only a narrow gate. Instead of the gate, it seems that this is designed to prevent the Han army from attacking.
A narrow door like this can be said to be closed by one husband and ten thousand people. For this narrow gate can only allow one person to pass through.
However, since there is a gap in this city wall, then Cao Wen is sure to use artillery to blast it open a bigger gap, and then the Han army will be able to rush in, as long as it rushes into this city wall, after facing the second road, that is, the city wall of Zhang Zhou itself, it will be easy to do.
Cao Wen felt that the original city wall of this Zhangzhou City would never be equipped with iron plates. Because such a siege was so huge, it was almost like rebuilding the city walls.
As long as the original city wall was not equipped with iron plates, then Cao Wen had the opportunity to use artillery to blast the city wall. Even if he didn't blast through the city wall, Cao Wen could let the artillery blast open the city gate, and he could also rush into the city.
As long as it enters the city, even if the army of this side has some losses, or the losses are slightly larger, it doesn't matter, taking this continent city is the biggest victory.
You must know that behind this Zhangzhou City is the boundary of Zhenping Mansion. And that Zhenping Mansion is directly facing Tiandu City to the east. As long as Zhenping Mansion is taken again, the capital will be close at hand that day.
This Zhangzhou City can be described as a key battle, and Cao Wen naturally knows the stakes. He would never dare to be careless. But he is even less cowardly. To fight a war is to be brave, and there is no other way to spare.
Cao Wen looked at the situation in front of him and felt that it was time to use grenade tactics. So he commanded: "Let the soldiers with grenades scatter forward, and remember, don't gather together." Spread out so that the rockets of the Tatars would not be launched. Because what they want is to burn our whole army.
As long as they dispersed and approached, the Tatars would hesitate, as long as they did not fire rockets, and when they reached the moat, they would bomb the people on the city walls. However, these soldiers must be equipped with shields and armor, and try to ensure their lives. Got it? ”
The lieutenant immediately arched his hand and said, "The last general knows." This will be arranged. ”
Because they had been prepared in advance, about 1,000 Han soldiers each carried twenty grenades, and the snakes wore stainless steel armor and held shields, and scattered towards the outer iron walls of Zhangzhou City.
"Brother, what does Han Jun mean by this?" When the Tatar garrison saw such a scene, he couldn't help but ask another Tatar garrison beside him.
Another Tatar general said, "I don't know! ”
"What's this trick on? Do you want to launch a rocket or not? The Tatar guard said.
Another Tatar army defender said: "No, the rockets should be kept to attack more Han troops behind, I think these Han troops in front are used to consume the rockets of our army." ”
This Tatar army guard general listened to the words of another Tatar army guard, nodded and said, "Brother is right, this Han army must think so." Hehe, it's so cunning! ”
Another Tatar garrison said, "Brother, we can shoot these people with bows and arrows." ”
The Tatar garrison nodded and said, "Brother is very right, I will give the order." ”
So, the Tatar garrison said to the soldier beside him who was in charge of the commanding flag: "Order, let the archers shoot." ”
"It's the general." The little soldier immediately waved the black flag. This is the command flag of the average archer.
And Cao Wen and others outside the city can also see it clearly. The adjutant next to him said, "General, the Tatars are about to fire bows and arrows." ”
Cao Wen nodded and said, "I know, just let them launch." Anyway, our soldiers are all stainless steel, your armor, and shields. ”
"The general is right, this Tarnu army is nothing more than a waste of bows and arrows." The lieutenant said.
As he spoke, the Tatars began to fire their bows and arrows. Because the Han army is only a thousand people, I still say more. In fact, there are only eight or nine hundred people, and the single goal is still obvious.
However, this will test the skill of the Tatar marksman.
And these Han soldiers were all fully armed, leaving only a pair of eyes, and they could also see the arrows shot clearly. This will test their reflexes.
If the reaction is slow, it will be hit. However, these soldiers were all hand-picked by mistake, and their martial arts were all very high.
Between the arrows of the Tatar army shot out from the city wall, an arrow to find a soldier of the Han army, absolutely accurate. It seems that these shooters of the Tatar army are not in vain. And the rumors that the Tatars were good at riding and shooting were not in vain.
Now that the bow and arrow have been shot down, they have begun to look for their respective targets, and it is the turn of the Han army to perform.
At this time, the two Tatar army guards on the city wall watched intently.
