Facing twenty cannons, the result was the same regardless of whether Fan Huisheng was sober or not. In just one hour of shelling, the north gate of Pingge City was declared to have been lost.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the situation to attack the city?" Zhou Er and other generals saw that the north gate of Pingge City was smashed to pieces by artillery. They were about to lead the troops to attack. Unexpectedly, they heard the sound of gold retracting the troops. Naturally, they wanted to find officials in the Chinese army. Chongguang asked clearly. []
"Who is the leader in this battle!" Guan Chongguang actually raised his eyebrows at his students and asked with a cold face. Zhou Er then remembered that he was not facing a good lord like Zhou Shixiong, but a master who was always known for his strictness. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"Humph, you'll see the opportunity, get up." Guan Zhongguang just wanted to give his student a slap, hoping that he wouldn't forget about it just because he was close to Zhou Shixiong. After Zhou Er stood up, Guan Zhongguang pointed at the map on the table and said. "Come and see, Taiyuan Mansion is only three days away from Pingge City. If we continue to attack Pingge City, can we capture this city within three days?"
"Of course. Although Pingge City is strong, it cannot withstand artillery attacks. It is easy to tear through the city defenses." This problem is not a problem at all. The results of the shelling just now are the best evidence.
"Are the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city just paper? We only have 10,000 soldiers. If we want to completely eliminate the 20,000 enemy troops, two days will be enough?" Guan Chongguang continued to ask questions, but Zhou Er's answer this time was not so neat.
"If the enemy forces in the city resist desperately, they may not be able to be wiped out in two days. But if the city defenses are completely destroyed, the enemy forces in the city will not be able to carry them to death, right?" Zhou Er's statement is very consistent with reality. I have never heard of the defenders of that city. , even if all four gates are broken, they will still defend the city.
"Oh, it's serious. Even if we capture Pingge City, how can we defeat the stubborn enemies in the city and build the city wall within three days? If we can't do it, the reinforcements from Taiyuan Prefecture will just like us and rush into the city without ceremony!" Guan Zhongguang was a little disappointed. Zhou Er was becoming less and less spiritual, which was far from the growth rate he expected.
"Ah" Zhou Er was speechless and couldn't answer. He had been following Zhou Shixiong's expeditions in the past six months. He only had to take care of his subordinates. He didn't need to worry about how the battle was fought. He had developed a good habit of obeying orders. Now Guan Chongguang To hold him to the standard of a general is obviously a bit too high an expectation.
"The one hundred chariots we brought this time are the main force. We are attacking Pingge City just to mobilize the troops from Taiyuan Prefecture. The main battlefield of this battle is here." Guan Chongguang pointed at Taiyuan City and Pingge City with his fingers. Drawing a circle between them, Zhou Er understood his combat intention. He had used this trick before to surround the point and call for reinforcements.
"Although the chariot looks amazing, no one knows its actual combat power. It is a bit risky to do so." Zhou Er raised an objection responsibly, and Guan Zhongguang nodded to him, "Don't worry, Zhi Zhong, you will see it soon." result."
The Lang Son Army broke through the city gate but did not advance into the city. Fan Huisheng thought hard and couldn't understand what the Lang Son Army was doing. Someone from his subordinates suggested, "General, is it possible that the Lang Son Army wants to force us out of the city to fight in the field?" This theory is The only reasonable explanation came to everyone's mind.
"Sent people to block the four gates. They want me to go out of the city to fight in the field. We can't go along with their wishes." Fan Huisheng agreed with this statement and immediately made a decision. If you want me to go out of the city, I won't go out. Let's see what you can do to me. Sample.
The Lang Son Army allowed the soldiers of the Taiyuan Prefecture to block the damaged north gate with rocks and wooden stakes. They only blocked the four gates of Ping Ge City and assumed a posture of surrounding you to death. Both parties are acting, and it is not yet known who will win the award.
Fan Gan Gan received the news two days after the Lang Son Army surrounded Binh Ghat, and immediately ordered Fan Xitong to lead an army of 10,000 to reinforce Binh Ghat. Fan Gandhi had a deeper understanding of the Lang Son Army. He believed that Fan Huisheng's 20,000 troops could not hold the Lang Son Army with artillery. Therefore, Fan Xitong led the most elite troops in Taiyuan Prefecture. Before leaving, Fan Ganji was also given instructions and ordered Fan Xitong to focus on rescuing Fan Huisheng, as long as he could rescue the soldiers and horses from Pingge City back to Taiyuan City.
Fan Gandi¡¯s plan started again. He wanted to lure the Lang Son Army to besiege Taiyuan City, and use the strong walls of Taiyuan City to hold off the Lang Son Army. At the same time, he asked his new master Zheng Zai for help, and asked Zheng Zai to send troops to rescue Taiyuan Prefecture. Fan Gandi's idea is of course not that simple. He hopes that Zheng Zai and Lang Son Prefecture will have a solid fight. No matter who loses or wins, Taiyuan Prefecture will benefit.
But Van Gandhi forgot one thing. Whenever he made a lot of noise with his abacus, there would always be some strange phenomena, causing his calculations that surpassed those of actuaries to make frequent mistakes. This time it's still the case.
Fan Xitong led 10,000 elite troops from Taiyuan City. After two days and nights of rapid march, they arrived at Bange Town, fifty miles away from Pingge City. Fan Xitong saw that all his men were exhausted and knew that they had to stop and rest, otherwise they would even rush. It's useless to go to Pingge City. How can we fight when we are half exhausted?
Fan Xitong wanted to rest, but someone refused. Ye Bu Shuying, who had been monitoring the official road, had already discovered their traces and sent the information back to the Lang Son military camp under Ping Ge City. Guan Chongguang didn't think about itThe general who arrived at Taiyuan Prefecture was so cooperative that he immediately ordered Zhou Er to lead 3,000 infantrymen and Yu Jiaao's 100 chariots to ambush near Bange Town, waiting for the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers to arrive.
Since Bange Town is located on the edge of the Taiyuan Plain, it has a plain landform and is not suitable for ambush warfare. Guan Chongguang's contrary approach was beyond everyone's imagination, which is why Fan Xitong fell into the trap easily.
"Chariot convoy attacks!" Zhou Er is the commander of this ambush battle, and Yu Jiao is the commander of the chariot battalion. Guan Chongguang clearly divided the powers and responsibilities before departure, and Zhou Er is only responsible for the overall tactics. How should Yu ask on the battlefield? Home proud. This explains why Yu Jia'ao was so excited when he gave the order. He finally had the opportunity to take charge of his own affairs again. It would be strange not to be excited.
Following Yu Jia'ao's order, one hundred chariots were divided into four square formations, and in a five-by-five formation, they attacked the Taiyuan soldiers who were preparing to set up camp. The tigers and leopards led a thousand infantrymen to follow the chariots, allowing Zhou Er and other Langshan troops to see what chariot-foot coordination was.
Fan Xitong saw a row of giant moving monsters rushing towards him under the setting sun. No matter how much he used his imagination, he could not figure out what these giant moving objects were. The chariot has been improved many times and is completely different from the first version. The trapezoidal shell is equipped with various armors and extensions, and the spears protruding from both sides are swinging in the air, looking like an octopus covered with tentacles.
The bed crossbowmen on the roof of the vehicle are tightly blocked by the shield, so they can safely perform actions such as loading the crossbow and shooting. The most noteworthy thing is that Iron Man invented the elephant earmuffs, which can effectively reduce the sensitivity of elephant hearing and avoid the problem of elephants being irritated by loud noises.
As the chariot gradually approached, Fan Xitong finally saw the shape of this huge object clearly. Those that kept swinging were not monster tentacles but spears. This discovery made him feel a little more at ease. "Salvo!" Yu Jia'ao stood on the command vehicle and waved the red flag. The communication soldiers on each tank formation received the signal and quickly conveyed the order to the crossbowmen. A few seconds later, three crossbows per vehicle, A total of three hundred spears rose into the air and plunged towards the Taiyuan Mansion soldiers' position, which was no more than two hundred meters away.
Driven by the huge kinetic energy, the gun clashed violently with the air, and a sharp whistling sound sounded instantly, and these sounds were not just once. The improved bed crossbow continued to fire at a frequency of once every fifteen seconds, and the gun broke through the air. The sound is continuous.
"What kind of monster is this?!" These words were Fan Xitong's last words left in the world. He was very lucky to be hit by the first wave of volleys. Two muskets passed through his chest and abdomen respectively, nailing him. In place, he accidentally created a real-life statue.
The first appearance of the chariot was both a success and a failure. The 10,000 elite troops in Taiyuan Prefecture were chased by 100 chariots for thirty miles. More than 6,000 people knelt down and surrendered, and more than 1,000 people died in battle. They returned to Taiyuan. There are only less than three hundred people in the city. The missing part in the middle is tentatively missing. In terms of results, this was a great and glorious ambush battle. Judging from the battle scene, the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture were frightened by the chariots. Except for the more than a hundred people who were shot by razor guns at the beginning, everyone else was scared away. On this level, the tank failed. Therefore, after counting the results, Zhou Er went to the management manager Yu Jia'ao with a bright face and congratulated him loudly. It is completely understandable that the management manager Yu had no expression.
The three thousand elites led by Zhou Er were reduced to guarding the fields, but none of them complained because the results of the chariot battalion were too terrifying. In the eyes of these elites who had experienced battles for a long time, the elephant chariots were comparable to mythical beasts.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture were all stupid at that time. Many of them didn't react when they were hit by razor guns. Then they turned around and ran away with a bang. Fortunately, the speed of the chariots was not too slow, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to catch so many. People." Zhou Er danced excitedly in the tent and described to Guan Chongguang the wonderful scene after the chariot appeared. Yu Jia'ao stood aside with an ugly expression, as if Zhou Erkua's chariot had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, I will take credit for the victory of the chariot battalion in the first battle. Return to Lang Son City to ask for credit from the palace master." Guan Chongguang's heart finally fell back to his chest. This battle plan was drawn up by him, and he strongly recommended it to Zhou Shixiong. If the chariot cannot become an instant hit, Guan Chongguang's first battle after returning to his master's side will end in failure, which he cannot accept.
"Your Majesty, I feel that there are still many problems with the chariot camp. The victory over the chariot camp this time was very small. Please reconsider." After defeating the reinforcements from Taiyuan Prefecture easily, all the generals in the tent were beaming with joy. Yu Jiaao It's a bit inappropriate to come out and pour cold water on me at this time.
"Yu Yingguang, the chariot battalion defeated the enemy army and Zhi Zhong saw it with his own eyes. This can't be false." Guan Chongguang roughly understood what Yu Jia Ao was thinking, but he couldn't follow Yu Jia Ao's temperament, so he asked rhetorically .
"My lord Hui Guan's words are indeed true."
"The chariot battalion pursued the enemy for thirty miles and captured more than 6,000 enemy troops. There are prisoners of war to prove this, so it can't be false, right?" Guan Chongguang said so clearly, and Yu Jia'ao is not a fool., he could only bow his hands and salute, "I understand, sir. Please forgive me for talking nonsense."
