Chapter 740:
Before entering the city, don’t stand in the night and look at the artillery fire rising in the sky.
It has to be said that the military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed strong. Under Guang Jiqi's strong request, the court finally transported more than forty cannons to him all the way.
This is a real cannon. A cannon that fires solid shells and can directly bombard city walls and even city gates is different from those glamorous bitches who can only spray iron sand, porcelain, and broken stones.
If it doesn't move, it's gone; if it moves, it's like thunder.
Guang Jiqi's way of marching and using troops is indeed commendable, especially his control of the morale and strength of the army, which Fang Bu is ashamed of.
But there were fierce attacks from all sides, and only in front of Fang Fang, the artillery fire was the sparsest.
Fang Bie is by Guang Jiqi's side because he is responsible for the coach's personal protection. Since Guang Bie rejected Fang Bie's suggestion to climb the city wall to spy on intelligence, then in such a chaotic army, even In fact, a martial arts master like Fang Bie cannot play a big role.
It is not too difficult for a martial arts master to take the heads of generals from an army of millions, but it is almost impossible for one person to kill hundreds or even thousands of people on the battlefield.
Unless - unless you have a high-precision rifle with a sufficient supply of ammunition, and then squat on the city wall every day to place cold bullets, you can still barely make a living.
At present, cannons and stones are flying everywhere, and when the shouts of killing are shaking the sky, even if they are separated, they are still mortal bodies and cannot block any gunfire at all.
It can only be said that with the development of thermal weapons, the magic that martial arts can create will eventually be blown away by the rain and wind.
"Why don't we attack yet?" Fang Bie looked at it for a long time and finally said.
In front of them was the East City. Although the East City was also being baptized by artillery fire, it was not as intense as the other two outer cities, not to mention that there were no soldiers to charge forward and try to attack the city wall.
"It's not time yet." Guang Jiqi said calmly, looking at the dark city wall in front of him.
Guang Jiqi is always waiting for the best time to attack.
He had been waiting since he first arrived on this land, and continued to wait after the cannon arrived.
Now the time for the general attack has arrived, and while shouts of killing are already rising from the other two directions, he is still waiting.
"Are you waiting for people from Dongcheng to go to both sides to support you?" Fang Bie asked.
Guang Jiqi nodded, then shook his head: "On the one hand, waiting for them to divide their forces, but on the other hand, it is waiting for the opponent's will to fight to weaken." "Didn't you say that the
three sides are the main attack?" Fang Bie asked. road.
Guang Jiqi indeed said so.
Of course, the most important thing for the Great Zhou Dynasty was artillery suppression, but even so, it is an indisputable fact that the gap between the siege troops and the defenders is not big, and even they are slightly weaker.
The people in front of them were not bandits roaming around like Japanese pirates, but elites who had truly established an organization. If they wanted to fight one against ten without treating the opponent as a human being, there was no doubt that they were stupid enough.
"I did say so, but if possible, I would prefer the city to be breached from my side." Guang Jiqi said lightly: "Okay, that's almost it." With that said, Guang Jiqi raised his
hand : "Get ready to fire, blast open the city gate!"
Yes, blast open the city gate.
After Guang Jiqi gave the order, the five 800-pound bronze cannons adjusted their positions at the same time, and then fired.
After the deafening sound of the cannon, smoke filled the eyes. Because it was dark, no one knew whether the city gate in front had become a smooth road.
"Continue the bombardment!" Guang Jiqi ordered: "Burn all the artillery shells, and then charge into the city with me." "
Victory or defeat depends on this!"
...
Since
Guang Jiqi said to use all the artillery shells, then of course Just light it up for you to see.
Five heavy artillery pieces and six volleys fired, and after all the artillery shells prepared for tonight were used up, the charge began under the cover of gunpowder smoke and darkness.
Fang Bie followed Guang Jiqi and moved forward with him.
The city gate has indeed been opened. To be precise, the originally thick wooden city gate has been beaten to pieces at this time, and it can even be said that it is impossible to even close the city gate.
"Follow me into the city." Guang Jiqi turned around and shouted loudly, taking the lead in leaping into the city.
But there was absolute silence in the city.
There are no enemies.
There are scattered ordnance and debris here, and the city walls are full of rubble and debris. Even Fang Bie was originally prepared for a hearty close-quarters battle, but everything in front of him was exceptionally calm.
Because there are no enemies.
"Coach, coach, have they all run away?" asked an excited soldier behind him.
Although no enemies means no military merits and no heads to receive rewards, no fighting means no casualties.
Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times.
If it is possible to capture Rang Pingcheng without any bloodshed, this would of course be great news.
"It's obvious that they ran away, but they won't run too far." Guang Jiqi seemed to be satisfied with what he saw: "Leave five hundred people to garrison the east city, and the remaining people will continue with me into Rangping City."
" Let us drive these Japanese pirates out completely!"
Amidst the shouts of killing, the army continued to move forward, and at the same time, fires were also lit in the north and west, which meant that the North City and the West City were also successively breached. The resistance of the Japanese pirates seems to be weaker than imagined.
The outer city is connected to the inner city. In theory, the inner and outer cities support each other. Even if the outer city is breached, the inner city will have enough strength to maintain it.
But everything in front of me seemed to be a little too smooth.
There is still not much defense in the inner city, but there are still Japanese troops guarding the dangerous places in the city and resisting desperately.
"There's no need to attack by force." Guang Jiqi shook his head and said, "Find more firewood and kerosene, surround it and burn it. Pay attention to putting out the fire and don't burn the whole Pingcheng." After the coach gave the order, the entire Pingcheng was burned
. It gradually became smoky, and those Japanese troops who were guarding the high places and guarding the high walls of the attic were slowly ushering in an unexpected bonfire feast.
And Fang Bie and Guang Jiqi finally had time to sit together again.
"The others seem to be still shooting outside." There was still a faint sound of gunfire outside the window.
Guang Jiqi nodded: "But isn't it much smoother than you imagined?" "
It's not much smoother, it's just too smooth." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "Tell me, isn't all this smooth? Was it what you expected?"
"Although I have a strategy that can defeat Japan, I didn't expect that under your hands, they would be so vulnerable?"
Fang Bie didn't expect it.
Because Guang Jiqi is like magic, surround him, shoot the cannons, and wait.
Then today when I charged, the opponent looked like paper.
"I said, I need to wait for the other party to be afraid and give them a way out after fear." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said calmly.
PS: This break is a bit unbearable. It’s so exciting to catch fish. Let me rebuild it a little bit. I will make sure to have at least one chapter every day. Maybe there will be surprises for the rebuild later.
