Section 0740 Siege Tactics

After Su Dingfang explained this, Hou Junji was also a famous general who led the troops, and immediately understood the meaning.

Hou Junji said: "We attacked the city from the southeast, so that the enemy army would think that we were coming from the path by the Yellow River to sneak attack, as long as the offensive was fierce. They will inevitably go for help. ”

"That's the trick. First use the wolf squat cannon for ten rounds to blow up the defenders at the head of his city. ”

"Wonderful. As soon as the military camps of Dafeichuan and Jishi Mountain moved, our army covered and killed from behind, first broke its camp, and then captured its baggage, and then chased it all the way to this side, and then moved to the north of Doma City, and chose a critical place to ambush. The method of taking the false army in front of Doma City was confused, but he could destroy all the soldiers and horses here in one fell swoop. ”

Su Dingfang finished drawing the last stroke on the map: "And at this time, Doma will also have a result in the rescue of other areas of Tuyuhun, if there are soldiers to rescue, we are still ambushed on the road." ”

Hou Junji slapped the table: "It's really wonderful, we have already taken two military camps, grabbed countless baggage, and there is no pressure on logistics." ”

"That's the principle, it can effectively kill Tuyuhun's combat power, even if he can't destroy Tuyuhun, he can still be disabled. In the battle of Gaochang, Tuyuhun would be powerless even if he had a heart. But you can't kill too hard, if you have the opportunity, you still have to negotiate peace, if Tuyuhun is disabled, I'm afraid that Tubo will even be annexed, which is not good for my Datang. ”

After the two put together some details, the first wave of attacks began that evening.

Another group of men and horses had already gone up the river, and these people only brought a few dozen boats and some supplies on board, looking like ordinary merchants.

These wooden frames, which had been made in advance, were quickly assembled into an arrow tower with a height of five feet.

This turret is taller than the city walls, and can be used not only for archers to attack, but also for observation.

The garrison of Doma was still drinking, and his soul was blown away by the sound of continuous explosions, and by the time he rushed to the north of the city, there were countless dead and wounded on the walls.

The Tang Army's divine guard, two hundred little wolf squatting cannons moved fifty steps forward on the shield guard, and began the seventh round of strikes they received orders, this distance was not the head of the city, but to the city.

And the small burlap bag it contained also had some incendiary bombs.

After ten rounds, the troops were collected and returned to the camp.

On the arrow tower, Su Dingfang and Hou Junji looked at the raging fire in the city with binoculars, and their faces showed smiles.

After a while, someone climbed up and reported: "General, the city of Doma has sent at least 500 horsemen to scatter around, and his subordinates think they are going to ask for help." ”

"Send someone to chase and kill, just leave one or two percent to ask for help, the person who asks for help is not injured, I'm afraid it will be hard to believe."

"Order."

The herald immediately gave the order, and several flares shot into the air.

This is fireworks, but the army of the Tang Dynasty has begun to be familiar with this way of giving orders, different colors and quantities represent different meanings, and they have been agreed in advance.

The next day, the Tang army shouted and killed.

This time it was a total siege.

The little wolf squatted on the cannon first, blew it up at the head of the city as planned, and then pushed the arrow tower car forward.

Seeing that the little wolf was squatting and preparing to open fire, he saw the gate of Doma open, and countless cavalry rushed out.

The Tuyuhun already knew that this lethal weapon was slow to fire and had a very short range, so it was the right way for the cavalry to kill it.

When the soldiers of the little wolf squatting saw it, they worked in groups of four, two of them carried the little wolf and squatted and ran, and the other two followed behind with gunpowder bags. Datang's heavy shield soldiers began to move forward to protect the wolf squatting artillery, and they didn't plan to let these artillery soldiers fight.

When the cavalry arrived, the heavy shield soldiers fought and retreated.

Suddenly, the heavy shields split apart.

The Tuyuhun cavalry immediately turned around, they saw Datang's heavily armed Mo sword formation, the cavalry was strong, but it was not strong enough to be able to fight against Datang's heavy Mo knife formation, and rushing up could only be sent to death.

The cavalry split its wings, and the Tuyuhun infantry went into battle.

Compared to cavalry, infantry using chain hammers can barely fight against Shang Mo's swords.

Since the 800 people of Liumu killed 20,000 Turks, the countries around the Tang Dynasty have been studying the tactics of restraining the heavy Mo sword soldiers and heavy armored cavalry, among which the chain hammer is a way to deal with the Mo sword soldiers.

The banners of the Tang army camp began to change, and the lightly armed flying cavalry and heavy cavalry went into battle.

Strategy and tactics are fought in large battalions, but the command of the battlefield really depends on the performance of a general on the spot. Hou Junji is definitely a veteran of a hundred battles, although he cannot be regarded as a top general, but he is also a qualified forward general.

What's more, at this time, there is also Su Dingfang to assist.

Storm!

At least in the eyes of the Tuyuhun people, the Tang people are storming the city of Doma, and every day from the sun rises, arrows rain down, and catapults throw big stones on the city wall in waves.

Tuyuhun's cavalry kept going out of the city, because as long as the cavalry did not go out of the city, the little wolf of the Tang people would come forward and put on a posture to prepare to open fire.

It's been three days, and the sand outside the city has been stained red with blood.

The recruits on Hou Junji's side have also become half veterans in the past few days, and almost all of them have been injured once, either seriously or lightly.

"This city has also been attacked once, and the Tuyuhun people should not think that we are feintting."

"One more day, we will know the outcome." Su Dingfang also chimed in.

In fact, at this time, the fortress of Jishi Mountain had already sent heavy troops to leave the fortress for half a day, and began to camp at night.

Cheng Yanjin sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and nibbled on a raw carrot, and the generals under his command each cooked carrots in a big bowl of mutton soup, and then distributed cakes.

"In other words, our brother has a vision, saying that after eating this thing, he can see farther than ordinary people at night, eat, and ask everyone to eat this thing as food, and Lao Cheng wants to fight at night."

Not to mention Datang, it can be said that at this time, more than ninety percent of the people in the world can not be affected by their vision at night.

It's good that an ordinary soldier can be fed, and there is no way to solve the problem of malnutrition.

Cheng Yanjin's subordinates have been eating carrots for a full month, and they have bought hundreds of thousands of catties of various carrots grown on the sandy land in this area of Suzhou, and they eat them every day.

An adjutant general entered the account: "General, visit the Malay report, the Jishishan Fortress has not entered the combat readiness defense, and the Dafeichuan Fortress has already had a team of baggage in the direction of Doma City, and it is estimated that Dafeichuan will send troops tomorrow." ”

Cheng Yanjin stood up, moved his neck, and stretched out his hand to point at the two young generals beside him: "You take a thousand flying horses, and block all the horses that go to report the news for me." If one person is let go, military justice is involved. ”

"Order." The two lieutenants galloped away.

Soon, the soldiers and horses left the camp.

Cheng Yanjin sat there and watched the generals finish eating, but still didn't give an order.
