Over a hundred battles, the walls were densely packed with rebels, and the rebels gave up the muskets directly. The soldiers in their hands had loaded the lead bullets, so they retreated outside the walls, and the tiger and leopard troops did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
This round of more encrypted lead bullet attacks is frantically withdrawing from the range of rebel muskets, and the soldiers have to throw 50 or 60 bodies again …
The defeat in the first battle … in the face of this result, the soldiers of Tiger and Leopard Army have always been invincible, and their faces directly show an unprecedented expression of disappointment.
Zhou Yuhong, the direct commander of the first round of attack, also observed every move of the battlefield with a dignified face.
At this time, the lieutenant who was born as a scholar and was specially responsible for the logistics and salary distribution of soldiers appeared in front of Zhou Yuhong with a dignified face.
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yuhong told the front that "the general’s losses have been counted out …"
"In this round of attack, we sent 453 offensive troops, and then 5 of them were successfully withdrawn … The remaining 395 troops attacked the road, and life and death were uncertain …"
"In addition, the three musket battalions responsible for providing fire cover for the attacking troops also suffered heavy losses from rebel shelling … At the end of the three musket battalions, a total of 32 soldiers were killed and 3 soldiers were slightly injured …"
At this time, Zhou Yuhong was directly shocked by the data that the lieutenant said. With a full face of incredible, he asked, "You are not wrong, strategist … This is less than half an hour, and we lost more than 100 people for more than half a group of musketeers …"
Lieutenant nodded to answer’ is the general … "
See lieutenant must have nodded Zhou Yuhong facial expression brush directly becomes a pale.
As a result, after the lieutenant handed me the list, he muttered to himself, "A guard is so trusting that he will hand over the command to a general, but he will actually beat this attack into such a shame that he has no face to see a guard …"
Speaking of which, Zhou Yuhong suddenly thought of something and continued to cry, "No, we lost our first attack and suffered heavy losses. It’s definitely not as simple as we thought …"
"There are so many bombs attacking and sticking to the wall. The rebels can also fire lead bullets and shells at us in an orderly manner. This is definitely a problem. There must be something we don’t know about the rebels sticking to the wall …"
"Otherwise, we can definitely cause unprecedented heavy losses to the rebels by shooting bullets at the city wall, so that they can launch a counterattack against our attacking troops in an orderly manner …"
Zhou Yuhong’s lieutenant’s face also showed a thoughtful expression before a series of questions.
At the end of the Zhou Yuhong answer "general will also have some ideas …"
"In our first shelling of the city wall, we can clearly see that the rebels were scattered and fled when the flower bombs attacked the city wall, but they didn’t see the rebels scattered and fled at the end of the shelling …"
"If it weren’t for the continuous rise of the wall and the clouds of fireballs, we would still shoot the flower bombs and miss the target …"
When I heard this, Zhou Yuhong was even more sure that he guessed in his heart and shouted, "You’re right. There must be something wrong with this wall and it’s still a big problem …"
Then he directly ordered the military adviser in front of him, "The military adviser Ma will make the pro-Weiying quickly look for materials and set up a three-foot-high observation tower here … You must never attack before you figure out the wall problem, otherwise it will kill the soldiers …"
In this era, there is no phenomenon of deforestation. There are trees more than a foot thick and up to four or five battles around Baode County except fertile land …
It took only an hour to get local materials from the pro-Weiying camp with 500 soldiers. Although crude, there were four high watchtowers before Zhou Yuhong.
Continue to want to know the problem key Zhou Yuhong climbed the watchtower with a monocle without thinking …
With a height difference of more than three feet and a monocular telescope to help the city wall be separated by sandbags, the squares are very clear, and Zhou Yuhong’s vision is very clear.
It took a full cup of tea and a gasp before he climbed up from the watchtower.
I haven’t waited until everyone’s mouth is shocked. Zhou Yuhong has ordered, "Battalion Commander Wang of the artillery camp will take the one-way telescope first to see if building those partition walls on the rebel wall can really weaken the power of the flower bombs, or so many flowers will bounce off the wall and explode, and nothing can suppress the rebel wall."
Everyone watched the artillery battalion commander quickly climb the watchtower to observe the wall of Baode County two miles away.
I don’t know if I have gathered the binoculars in my hand and haven’t put the artillery battalion commander’s face, but I have the same shocked expression as Zhou Yuhong, and I can’t speak for a long time.
Chapter three hundred and eleven Digging trenches
The artillery battalion commander had just climbed the watchtower with a full face of shock, and Zhou Yuhong was eager to know the answer. He asked, "Battalion commander Wang … can the sandbags piled up in the traitor’s city wall really defend us from bullets …"
A trace of heartfelt Nai quickly appeared to the artillery battalion commander and shook his head. He replied, "General, those partition walls can’t defend our fireworks, but they can reduce the power of the fireworks to a minimum."
Seeing Zhou Yuhong’s face quickly showing puzzled expression, the artillery battalion commander continued to explain, "If there are no obstacles, a flower bomb can cause more than ten people’s losses to the rebels, but with these partitions, the lethality of the flower bomb can be limited to the squares piled up by sandbags …"
"Our army’s shelling can be easily fought if it is not directly hit by the scattered squares, and there is no need to worry that the shell fragments may kill themselves …"
Zhou Yuhong’s face finally showed an epiphany expression. After taking a deep breath, he continued to ask the artillery battalion commander, "That is to say, the traitor’s defense can’t cause a devastating blow to the wall rebels, and there is no way to suppress them and cover the musketeers close to the wall …"
The artillery battalion commander first nodded, then shook his head, and finally said, "General, this is the truth … but I don’t know if there is an idea here at the end of the day …"
"What idea?" Zhou Yuhong hurriedly asked with a hint of expectation.
"We can increase the number of artillery … we have a battalion of heavy mortars here, and six to six bullets hit the wall every round. If we increase the number of mortars to three battalions, the number of bullets hitting the wall will increase to 20 …"
"If we put twenty bullets in the center of the city gate with a width of seventy battles, the rebels in this wall may be devastated by bullets …"
Zhou Yuhong’s eyes lit up and he affirmed, "You can try …"
"The horse will transfer the heavy mortar battalion headquarters in his two directions in Baode County here … and aim at the gate to bomb it. I don’t believe that so many artillery pieces can’t suppress the wall rebels …"
Half an hour later, more than a dozen mortars came together …
A case of raising the muzzle of a dark hole high; the outside is aligned with the center of the city gate, and the width of this wall is exactly ten battles.
When all the shells are stuffed into the gun bore and inserted into the matchlock to get ready for the gun, Zhou Yuhong is full of confidence in this attack. He directly climbs the watchtower and raises the monocle and orders.
"Artillery horse gun …"
The dull shelling just arrived at Zhou Yuhong’s ear, and the sharp roar of the shells flashed across the sky, followed by the middle ring.
With the secret explosion, the battlefield sounded two miles away, and Zhou Yuhong clearly saw that there were less than 20 orange fireballs, just like mushrooms after rain, and the wall rose rapidly.
However, these fireballs have not achieved great results as they imagined.
As the artillery battalion commander said half an hour ago, after the bomb exploded, in addition to the devastating blow to the checkered rebels, the checkered rebels around them still lay down on the battlements with a serious face and quietly waited for the attacking troops to appear.
More importantly, as soon as the first round of fireworks exploded, hundreds of rebels rushed to the city wall and rushed to the squares that had just been attacked …
