Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song
Chapter 834 9 heavy city towers smoke and dust, travel southwest on ten thousand horses
Chapter 834 The smoke and dust in Jiuzhong City Que, thousands of rides and thousands of rides southwest
Lightning was like a snow-white sword, waving in the dark sky, and the surrounding heavy rain was as dense as a curtain of water, adding an unknown sense of depression to the atmosphere of the battlefield.The deafening thunder, played dully, is like a violently whipped rattan whip, piercing the black sky time and time again accompanied by bright light.The sky seemed to be torn into strips of light, and it was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open, trying to devour everything.
This is the summer in Gui Province.
This place is also affected by typhoons. Although the degree is far from being comparable to that of the seaside area, in midsummer, the sea breeze roars, and the billowing wind blows from the ocean. Every time there is a storm, you can't change it. We must learn to adapt to it.
Take the typhoon aftermath known to future generations as a common occurrence every year.Even this kind of weather is really annoying for the siege side.
The city of Guizhou is not big, and it is only ten miles around.This is a very common state city in China.However, after being remodeled by Xu Huiyan at all costs, the city suddenly became the first city that could withstand cannon bombardment and crypt siege.Always, Xu Huiyan's magic reform directly reduced the area of the entire city by more than [-]%, and the population also decreased by nearly half.
In the entire city of Guizhou, the four walls of the city are as thick as ten feet thick, which brings the strongest defense thickness to Guizhou city.Don't care if you fire a cannon or blast a crypt, it is very difficult to destroy a city with a thickness of ten feet in one fell swoop, even if it is made of rammed earth.
Originally, the cannons of the Qi army could directly wipe out the battlement parapet, but the problem now is that the actual parapet of Guizhou City has been moved to five feet behind the original parapet. In the middle of this thick wall, Xu Huiyan re- A female wall was erected.Not only that, but the inner wall of the original female wall was also demolished by him in one fell swoop.That is to say, only the outer wall of the original female wall still exists, but I feel very cold in the back.The soldiers of the Qi army who climbed to the top of the city will be attacked by the second city wall immediately!
Even if the height of the second "city wall" is very low, they are actually parapets built on the surface of the city wall, and the height is only five feet.
But with a distance of five feet in front, it would obviously be very difficult for the cannons of the Qi army to directly hit the two 'city walls'.Because the shells fired from outside the city are all fired in a straight line.The shells they wanted to bombard the second female wall were either blocked by the city wall, or after exceeding the height of the city wall, they flew high over the top of the second defensive line and flew further away.What's more, the defenders in the city will drive the people to repair the damaged city walls at all times.
This defense structure is completely different from the current defense mode of the city wall.It smells a bit like a bastion, although there is only a hint of it...
However, the real bastion is a complex geometric star-shaped fortress. Through the ingenious planning of the design, the designer has realized the purpose of covering each other's firepower at different locations, and can usually respond well to the enemy's attack.But the city of Guizhou in front of me is like four different things.
Lu Qian's 'help' to Xu Huiyan was limited to the fact that the city could withstand the artillery bombardment.Instead of defeating artillery in head-on combat.
At the same time, this is another assessment by him of the teachers and students of the Martial Arts Academy and the staff members of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
According to the existing weapons and equipment of the Qi army, how to efficiently break through such a city?
Xu Huiyan said that it did not take a day or two to reform Guizhou City, and the measures and arrangements in the city have long been clearly understood.The detailed city defense map has long been defeated in front of the teachers and students of the Wulue Academy and the staff of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion.
And he is not afraid of "Guizhou City" being made public.If this method is announced to the world, so what?
The fundamental purpose of a bastion is defense, which is to use a very small number of troops to contain the opponent's large number of troops.And if Lu Qi launches an offensive against which side, will the Emperor Lu still lack soldiers and horses?
He can organize a large-scale offensive force. Even if a part of the force is separated to monitor the bastion and control the supply line, the remaining force can still be strong enough to overthrow a country/power.This enables the army to quickly get rid of the troubles caused by the bastions and go straight to the core of the strategy.
Europeans in history began to build large-scale and costly bastions in the 56th century. The slow war mode surrounding the attack and defense of fortresses lasted for two centuries and was not abandoned until the 2th century.The most important reason is that at that time, the military forces of all European countries were scarce, and the Europeans did not have a rich family background.After entering the eighteenth century, especially in the second half, whether it was the Seven Years War or the Napoleonic War, the military strength of European countries has increased geometrically.
Take Prussia as an example. When Frederick II took over the scepter from his father, Frederick William I, the entire Prussian army had only 20 troops, and when the Seven Years War started, the Prussian army already had [-] troops. There are thousands of people.By the time of Napoleon at the end of the century, all the major European countries were generally able to violently fight like a diarrhea.
Therefore, the bastion is also obsolete.And is such a problem really a problem for Lu Qi and China?
Not to mention, today's artillery is still a unique weapon in China. Without cannons in the hands of outsiders, it is impossible to bring out the essence of the Bastion. Even Xu Huiyan can only use strong bows and crossbows.That effect is completely different from artillery.
In other words, even if the bastion is taught to them, its function can only be a single defensive measure, or it is congenitally incomplete.
He doesn't even need to teach them hand in hand. When the 'enemies' feel the threat of artillery, they will find ways to thicken the city defense. The only difference is that Xu Huiyan's thickening scale is a bit large this time, and it is done in one step. .
To put it simply, the offense and defense of Guizhou City is that the cannons outside the city keep bombing, and the arrows and crossbows inside the city keep shooting.The former was because Li Yanxian hadn't figured out a proper way to solve the predicament in front of him, and the latter was because the defenders in the city only had bows and crossbows to resist the enemy.
When the Qi army feigned attacks and movements during the day and conducted sneak attacks and harassment at night.
The terrain of Guizhou City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, resembling a lying cow.In terms of city defense facilities, the northwest was originally relatively strong, while the southeast was relatively crude.Because the water flows to lower areas, and this place has not seen fighting for many years, the city has long since aged.The southeast city wall was semi-collapsed before Zhao Huan and his party settled in.But now, everything is a standard.
Xu Changyan served as the Sibi promotion officer. After Xu Huiyan settled in Guizhou, he naturally returned to the army.Although Xu Changyan is not a famous general, he still has rich combat experience.
Now I am at the head of the city day and night, commanding and defending against the enemy.And the handling is really unique. Every night, people pile up hundreds of bundles of hay under the city, and when they find that the Qi army is harassing/sieging the city, they will light the fire and call the police, so as to prevent the Qi army from attacking.
After the Qi army gathered, seeing that the city of Guizhou was still helpless, Li Yanxian saw that the morale of the army was a little low, so he used Niu Gao as a general to try to fight a wave, not seeking truth and breaking the city in one fell swoop, just to boost the morale of the army.
But the results were frustrating.
Niu Gao asked the soldiers to hold small thunderbolts, thinking that by doing so, they could easily occupy the city wall.But they didn't know that Xu Changyan had asked someone to form a net at the top of the city.The small Thunderbolt was blocked by the net, and fell straight outside the female wall, causing no harm to the soldiers inside the wall.
The female wall outside the city has been battered and riddled with holes, but the defenders inside the city took advantage of the night to repair it again and again.Those with wicker baskets and rattan baskets filled with soil and sand were blocked in front, and they even put them between the outer parapet and the second parapet as a roadblock, so that the soldiers of the Qi army who boarded the city had to avoid it, so that they could not enter the city. No gaps are exposed.After that, there was an overwhelming shooting of bows and crossbows, and at the same time, there was also the Song Army version of Zhen Tianlei.
Zhao Song also had gunpowder weapons, and they also knew how to configure powder, and even the proportions seemed to be different from those of later generations.It's just because of the purity of saltpeter and sulfur, as well as the ingredients added by Song Jun, that its ultimate power is a bit ridiculous.
However, no matter how ridiculously powerful the Thunderbolt fell on people, the effect would be great.
The attack lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Niu Gao had no choice but to retreat.Helplessly, this kind of onslaught has caused too much loss, and there is no effect at all.
Niu Gao couldn't see the slightest hope of breaking the city, if he continued like this, he would only lose the lives of soldiers.It would be better to follow Li Yanxian's words and continue to dig underground and carry out blasting.One time is not enough ten times, ten times is not enough a hundred times, I don't believe it can't be done!
And it was also at this time that Zhao Huan and his party, who had fled to Guanzhou in a panic, packed their bags in a hurry and gave up the good life they had just enjoyed in Guanzhou for two days.
Because there was information from the rear, a Qi army infantry seemed to smell something and was galloping towards Guanzhou.
