Chapter 1042: Fierce Battle (Twenty-two)
"Brother, you say, can the artillery of the Han army penetrate this city wall?" This keeper said the other keeper.
Another guard said, "Can you do it, won't we see in a while!" ”
"Huh! Also, we'll find out in a while. The guard said with a smile, as if he was sure of the wall.
The other guard sighed and said, "If only the wall we were standing on was also made of iron plates." ”
The guard said: "Brother, this thickening is already very good. Otherwise, the cost will be even higher. ”
"Well, there's nothing wrong with what you said. It's just that the stone is okay, but this iron plate still needs to be forged, which is indeed very expensive. The main problem is that this court has no money! Another guard sighed.
"So we should be satisfied." The guard said.
The two of them fell silent, and they both watched the third round of bombardment from Cao Wen's artillery.
The guard said: "This is the third time, and if it can't be penetrated, it is estimated that the Han army should give up." ”
The other guard nodded and said, "That's right, but our rockets are still fired?" ”
The guard said without hesitation: "Fa, naturally it is going to be sent." Also give the Han army some colors to see. ”
"Okay, since that's the case, let's let the Rocket Army prepare to shoot!" Another guard said.
"Well, get ready, launch it immediately, because this round of Han artillery is almost finished." The guard said.
Another guard asked people to quickly wave the flag and give orders, so that the Rocket Army could shoot. I saw a soldier immediately waving a black flag, black with a non-rocket. The archers on the first wall immediately opened fire.
Cao Wen's lieutenant shouted, "Raise your shield." ”
At the sound of the order, the shields of the Han army were immediately raised above their heads, and the rain of arrows coming down from the Tatar army was also taken out of the door by these shields.
Cao Wen's lieutenant said proudly: "Just this bow and arrow is useless to us. Hehe.! ”
"Then shoot the shells." When this wave of arrow rain of the Tatar army was over, Cao Wen gave the order.
"Yes, General. Then fire the cannonballs! The adjutant shouted.
Boom, boom, the third wave of shells was fired.
On the city wall, the Tarno garrison said, "The rocket is ready to be launched." ”
"Yes, General." The Tatar soldier with all kinds of flags commanded. Then, he waved the red flag in his hand. The red band table flame, that is, the one who commanded the Rocket Army.
I saw that the red flag in the soldier's hand waved three times in succession, and the rocket army under the first city wall opened its bow and arrow, and the arrow of the bow and arrow ignited orange flames.
The adjutant general on Cao Wen's side asked, "General, what does the red flag waving from the Tatar army mean?" ”
Cao Wen said: "It may be that he commanded the archers to continue to shoot arrows, stared at them, and quickly asked the soldiers to raise their shields when they saw the arrows." ”
"It's the general." The adjutant replied. Then he stared at the top of the wall, and shouted the command to raise his shield whenever a bow and arrow were fired.
At this time, the artillery was still bombarding a part of the city wall, but only the pit was getting bigger, but not deeper.
Cao Wen wondered in his heart, what kind of city wall is this? Why is it so hard? There were almost thirty shells in a row, but they couldn't penetrate it. It's weird.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the adjutant general shout loudly: "Raise your shield." ”
Brush, all the soldiers here raised their shields.
"Ahh Not good, it's an arrow with fire. At this time, someone noticed that the dead grass next to him began to catch fire. At the same time, Cao Wen also found out.
This is not a good situation. It was surrounded by dead grass and bushes, and if it all set on fire, his army would be burned to death.
Although it changed in a hurry, Cao Wen still calmed down by himself. He knew in an instant the strategy of the Tatar army, a fire attack. At this time, it is late autumn, and the weather is dry and windy. It's the best time to attack with fire.
And what worries Cao Wen the most is that the shells of the artillery in his army will explode when they encounter fire, so that the shells will not blow up the enemy, but they will blow up his own army.
In a hurry, he immediately ordered loudly before he finished eating, shouting: "Quickly throw the cannonballs into the moat, and the shield will cover." ”
As soon as the order was given, some soldiers pushed carts full of shells and ran towards the moat. And the Tatar army on the city wall naturally saw it. I didn't know what the Han army was going to do for a while, so I hurriedly shot with arrows.
And to be here, there is also a musketeer who is responsible for covering, and the shield is also held above the head to cover. The musketeers were all sharpshooters, and after only a few shots, some of the Tarslav soldiers fell and died.
There were two cartloads of shells, all of which were pushed into the moat by the Han soldiers, and then they were withdrawn to the main army.
The two Tatar guards on the city wall inside could only see two carts of the Han army pushing towards their side, but they didn't know what to do with the drink. They also can't see the moat. Although the second wall is much higher than the first, there is a certain distance between them, so you can't see the moat below the first wall. I can't see what the Han army has to do.
"What is Han Jun doing here? What's pushing in the car? "One of the guards asked another of the Tatar guards.
Another Tatar general shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
"It's puzzling, they should be pushing the cart backwards!" This Tatar army just raised his eyebrows and said, with a blank look on his face.
At this time, Cao Wen ordered the army to retreat. Because the dead grass around them was already burning, and it spread quickly by the wind, some of the soldiers were already on fire.
The Han army was well-trained and retreated quickly, and by the time the flames were formed, the Han army had already withdrawn from the danger zone.
"Damn, the Han army retreated fast enough that it didn't burn them." A Tatar army guard said indignantly. He originally thought that such a sudden rocket would definitely be able to burn at least thirty percent of the Han army. I didn't expect that even a hundred percent of them were not burned to death.
In fact, the soldiers of the Han army who were burned to death were not even 10% of them. After withdrawing from the danger zone, Cao Wen deliberately counted the people and horses, and burned a total of 84 people to death.
When Cao Wen heard this number, he couldn't help but sigh. He was well aware that this was already the best outcome.
"Let's go back to camp!" Cao Wen said to the adjutant general.
The adjutant general gave the order, and the Han army returned home in a mighty way.
"Hehe, brother, the Han army is gone, the Han army is gone, we won, we won!" A Tatar garrison said with a happy smile.
Another said, "Go, go and see the walls." ”
