Originally, Liu Yin was going to let the Tiger Cavalry take on the task of attacking the fortification, but Fu Zhi quit, he ran to Liu Yin's side and insisted on asking the Tiger Cavalry to attack the first attack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fu Zhi did not take the initiative to attack Wei Ze Pass before, it was out of many considerations, and this time with a large army as a backup, Fu Zhi naturally had no worries.

"Brother-in-law, let me fight, I'm still a pioneer officer, and I will be replaced if I don't fight this battle, and I won't be laughed to death by others?"

Liu Yin smiled and said: "Shame and courage, the spirit is also commendable, it seems that you still care about other people's opinions?" ”

Fu snorted and said: "I don't care about anyone's opinion, I didn't fight Weize Pass before, I just think that the preparation is insufficient, I don't have the certainty of taking it, there is no need to lose people and horses in vain, now the firearms battalion has been transferred, with the assistance of firearms, it is not a problem to take Weize Pass at all." ”

Liu Yin nodded and said: "Zicheng, it seems that the battle in the past few years has indeed not been fought in vain, and you have learned a lot smarter, as a general, it is necessary to judge the situation, change the situation, do not fight the battle of unpreparedness, and do not fight the battle of uncertainty, you don't have to care what others say, if you think it is right, you must persevere." ”

"Please teach my brother-in-law, I remember," Fu said with a grin, "Then I will fight this battle, right?" ”

"Okay, it's up to you to fight," Liu Yin agreed, "Go down and prepare, I'll let Ah Jian bring the firearms battalion to assist you." ”

Fu bowed his hand and went down happily.

Liu Yin looked at his back, shook his head and chuckled, although Fu Zhi has indeed grown a lot in recent years, he always feels that he is still a child, just as immature as when he followed him to Yinping.

"Young master, the subordinates of the terrain near Wei Ze Pass have already seen it." As soon as Fu walked with his front foot, Ah Jian followed in with his back foot, and on Liu Yin's order, he conducted a reconnaissance of the terrain near Weize Pass, and came back at this time to report to Liu Yin.

"How's it detected?"

A Jian said: "Although the mountains on both sides of Weize Pass are steep, it is still relatively easy to climb, but the Huns seem to have taken precautions, on the high ground on both sides, there are many people deployed, there are one or two hundred people in each place, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and the road up the mountain is completely blocked. ”

Liu Yin nodded, it seems that it is not feasible to take the kind of means to attack the Hanshan fortress, the Huns can grow a wisdom by eating a trench, and they will suffer a loss when they are in the Hanshan fortress, and every time they deploy defense at a dangerous place in the future, the Huns will not forget to protect the flanks, so it seems that the attack on the Weize Pass has to be arranged separately.

"Then let's use catapults, such long-distance throwing, the casualties of the firearms battalion are much smaller than those of close-range manpower throwing. Ah Jian, this battle will be led by Fu Zhi and the Tiger Cavalry will be the main attack, and you will lead the firearms battalion to assist, go down and prepare, and after an hour, launch an attack. ”

"No." Ah Jian gave up his promise and immediately went down to prepare.

The use of catapults to launch gunpowder weapons, the Shu army has been used many times, there are no technical difficulties, in view of the relatively strong characteristics of the city defense of Wei Zeguan, A resolutely used direct projectile stone mines and cluster grenades, cluster grenades are usually four to six grenades tied together, A Jian for the power of a strong explosion, each cluster grenade uses eight to ten grenades.

The firearms battalion dispatched twenty catapults at once, which were lined up in front of the Reed Pass, and because there was no need to throw heavy stone projectiles, the range of the catapults could be greatly increased, and it was completely outside the range of the Huns' bows and arrows, and at this distance, there was no need to worry that the Huns would damage the catapults.

Fu's Tiger Cavalry was also ready to attack at this time, and of course, it was impossible for the Tiger Cavalry to attack on horseback at this time, but prepared a large number of ladders and ropes, and became outright foot soldiers.

Although the ability of the Tiger Cavalry is good at cavalry, it does not necessarily prove that the Tiger Cavalry is lagging behind in a foot battle, Fu secretly held his breath, he wanted to prove to the whole army that the Tiger Cavalry is not only a hero on horseback, but also a hero in siege battles!

Fu Zhi was standing behind Ah Jian, now the Tiger Cavalry Army is ready to stop, ready to attack at any time, of course, the prerequisite is that the firearms battalion completes the firearms attack, Fu Zhi knows the power of these gunpowder weapons, these twenty catapults in a row of volleys, it is enough to bomb the forward position of Weize Pass, with the support of this kind of intensive firepower, the siege of the Tiger Cavalry Army must be twice the result with half the effort.

Ah Jian looked at Fu Zhu with an inquiring gaze, and Fu Zhi only nodded, indicating that he was ready, and Ah Jian turned around and ordered the firearms battalion to start attacking.

Of course, the firearms battalion is a special independent battalion, and it is still quite different from the ordinary infantry battalion and cavalry battalion, and the firearms battalion has only 500 people, which is nearly 10 times different from the ordinary infantry battalion of 5,000 people, but it is the same as the number of people in the army battalion level in later generations.

Ah Jian gave the order to the commander of the firearms battalion, and the commander of the firearms battalion immediately issued an order to the captains of each team, and soon, the firearms on the twenty catapults were ignited, and the fuse made a "zizi" sound, and the sparks sparked and smoked.

Immediately afterwards, the gunner pulled the rope, and the throwing arm of the catapult waved, and vigorously threw the stone mine or cluster grenade at the head of the city of Weize Pass.

Suddenly, the air crossed a line of smoke marks, twenty stone thunderbolts were thrown into the city wall, although the distance is far and near, but the error is not too big, especially the twenty stone mines are all thrown into the city, but also shows that the training of the Shu army is skillful.

The sound of the explosion soon came from the head of the city of Weize Pass, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, accompanied by a violent explosion, which was the cry of the Hun soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers.

The faces of the Shu army showed a smile, this is the first round of attacks of the firearms battalion, the Huns are already unable to resist, and if there are three or five rounds of bombardment, it is estimated that the city head of Weize Pass will become a sea of fire.

Taking advantage of the fierce artillery fire, the Huns were suppressed and breathless, Fu Zhi immediately commanded the Tiger Cavalry to rush towards Weize Pass, and now the firearms of the Shu army generally do not fall to the outside of the city wall, so this distance is completely safe, and when they begin to erect ladders to attack the city, the bombardment of the firearms battalion will naturally stop.

However, when the tiger cavalry battalion began to climb towards the city, it was suddenly met with stubborn resistance from the Huns, and I don't know how many Hun soldiers poured out of the city, and arrows rained down to block the offensive of the Shu army. (To be continued.) )
