After each battle, a post-war meeting must be held to summarize the gains and losses of the battle, the advantages of the enemy, and the shortcomings of our army. These are all things they need to summarize and organize them into files and archive them.

They had to do this when they won a battle, not to mention that they were almost defeated now. If we counted, they were defeated today, and there were many problems, so they summoned officers at all levels to study and see what happened.

This is not because their combat effectiveness has declined, nor because the enemy has become particularly powerful. If the cold weapon troops are strong enough, they will not be able to be stronger.

They first analyzed that it was related to the weather, that their cannons could not be transported, and their army habitually accepted the cover of cannons.

When they did not have the cover of cannons, and in close combat, their grenades failed due to moisture and were mostly useless, they began to catch them blindly and began to panic, and the enemy took advantage of the situation and attacked them.

Under the same conditions, even the more powerful Jiannu was not easy to break through their defense line, but without cannons and grenades, the soldiers were panicked and at a loss, and as a result, they were in chaos. Although they were covered by the city walls, they still attacked. If he had not made a quick decision and turned the tide and even fired his own people, they would have been lost.

But Liu Feiyun also knew one thing: they were very taboo when they shot their own people, and they would definitely attract hatred from soldiers. The military judges checked it, so he immediately wrote a review, gave a detailed explanation of the matter, reported it to the division headquarters, and asked the boss above to evaluate the right and wrong.

Liu Feiyun knew that if this matter was not resolved, it would cause great trouble to his career and would even be arrested and dealt with by military law.

After summarizing the pros and cons of both the enemy and us, they put forward targeted deployments and suggestions, mainly how to face tomorrow's battle. They all know that today's battle is extremely cruel, but one thing is certain that the battle has just begun.

They could not retreat for no reason, and they also blocked the only way for the enemy to move south. They had no choice but to attack from here. Could it be that they could cross mountains and hills in the snow and ice and attack Texas? This is not possible.

So some officers suggested that a batch of cannons should be sent to the back, and there are grenades that can be used.

Because their soldiers were all used to being able to fight under the cover of these firepowers. Without the support of these firepowers, they were different from what they usually trained, and they were very uncomfortable in fighting.

Liu Feiyun was angry when he heard this and got angry on the spot. He said, "Do you not have cannons, you will not fight without grenades? Do you not fight without grenades? Do the Tianxiong Army on the opposite side have cannons and grenades? Didn't you attack in? We defended with guns, but we couldn't defend it. They attacked with knives? Are you shameless?"

When Liu Feiyun scolded him, his subordinates were also a little embarrassed and could not raise their heads. However, an officer said, "Our training is different. If we forcefully use this method to fight, it will make the brothers very uncomfortable."

Liu Feiyun said loudly: "If you don't adapt, you have to adapt. If the road is blocked with heavy snow, the road is not stable, and the cannons cannot be transported. We either win the enemy and defend Nanpi, or let them kill all of us and capture Nanpi."

The key is that there is a problem, that is, the weather is very cold now, and their output of gunpowder, grenades, shells has dropped significantly, which makes their supply and demand very tight. You should know that the weather is so cold, and people will not be flexible if they wear more clothes. If they don’t wear clothes and roast them on fire, who can’t do the gunpowder factory and shell factory are drying the fire?

Their factory has been working in two shifts. After the cold winter, they can only go to work during the day and cannot start work at night because it is too cold at night and they dare not roast or heat in their factory, so the output has dropped significantly, which is also the reason for their insufficient weapons in this regard.

But Liu Feiyun still thinks that when their Liu family army was first established, there were no cannons or grenades. They used bows, arrows and muskets to shoot out a piece of land and its own majesty. Now that the scale has expanded, it has become weaker. Without cannons, there will be no war. He also knows that this is very bad for the army.

Their cannons are bulky and cannot follow them all the time to fight. If they don’t have cannons in war, wouldn’t they need to be fired?

So they immediately formulated a new way of combat to deal with the enemy's attack tomorrow. They knew that the enemy today was taking advantage, and they would definitely not give up and would definitely come again tomorrow. How to fight this battle well, save Nanpi, and save their lives has become something they attach great importance to.

Liu Feiyun said, "I emphasize again that if you want to survive, you can save Nanpi. We will live and die together with Nanpi."

Sure enough, the next day, the Ming army launched a new offensive, and their army took new measures, that is, a large number of their soldiers were pushing giant shields and advancing in sequence under the cover of shields and shield chariots.

If the Liu family army's artillery were here, their tactic would have allowed the cannons to knock them into scum, but the Liu family army now only has catapults, which would give them a chance.

Whether it is the firing speed or accuracy of the catapult, the catapult is far inferior to the cannon, so this gives them a chance.

Lu Xiangsheng knew very well that there were many muskets in Liu's army and were the main body of their army, which meant that they had poor melee ability and were not opponents of elite soldiers of the Ming army holding big swords and spears. If they had exchanged fire with the other party at a long distance, they would definitely not be opponents, but if they got close, it would be completely different.

The victory they achieved yesterday was also a breakthrough progress they made after sacrificing countless lives. Since that is the case, why don’t they get directly close under the protection of shields and shield cars, and then launch a fierce attack?

Liu Jun's musketeers were deployed on the city tower, but Ming Jun's musketeers were not many, so they could only arrange a large number of archers here to suppress the city walls. When the people on the city tower were almost killed, then they took the opportunity to attack the city, and the opportunity came.

Lu Xiangsheng adjusted his strategy in time, that is, he learned from yesterday's experience and then adjusted it again.

If it were the strategy like this yesterday, it would have caused less severe blows to the Ming army and reduced the casualties of a large number of people.

However, the Ming army was adjusting, and the Liu family army was also adjusting. They used a large amount of wood and stones to place them on the city wall. When the other party deployed them under the city, they used grenades to blow them up when they were twenty or thirty meters away.

The Ming army rushed straight under the city wall. When they set up a ladder, they were smashed with stones and poured with hot water, which gave the Ming army gathered under the city wall a huge blow and damage.

They were hit hard all of a sudden. If their personnel did not gather, they could not form fists. If they gathered, they would easily be hit by the Liu family army on the city.

Moreover, due to the lack of artillery, the Liu family army also learned from yesterday's lessons. They brought a lot of grenades and used them without moisture. The concentrated use of these grenades has dealt a huge blow to the civilian officers and soldiers gathered under the city.

And they learned from yesterday's lesson, that is, they arranged for many powerful men to go up to the city walls, and asked them to be responsible for boiling water and pouring water down.

The boiling water and hot oil from this pot poured into the city, which made the Ming army directly under the city burn and the flesh burst into tears, screaming.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that the other party had deployed a large number of people on the city wall, and immediately ordered his archers to move forward fearlessly and suppress the city wall.

However, his measure was not very effective, because Liu Jun had more magical crossbow archers and suppressed them even more.

Their ordinary sword and shield hands were better, holding a shield to resist their shooting. If they were archers, they would have no way to hide behind the shield and shoot arrows. They could only shoot against the Ming army on the city, with heavy casualties.

Yesterday, the Liu family army in the city suffered a lot of blows, so they brought many door panels here. The soldiers guarding the city all held him up and held them up to effectively resist the attack of arrow rain. Today, their casualties were much less.

However, the Ming army under the city had a numerical advantage, and theirs were all very brave. They rushed to the city wall, set up a ladder, and climbed up desperately, launching the most violent battle in the city. Although the Tianxiong Army was very brave, they were facing enemies using muskets.

Their muskets are far superior to the Ming army. The musketeers among the regular army are very powerful. Liu Jun has a very advantage in this regard. When the enemy attacks the city with all their might, there are very heavy casualties.

Although these muskets are not very accurate, their power is quite amazing. Once they are hit, they will basically be dead.

With patriotic enthusiasm and the stimulation of killing enemies and serving the country, these Tianxiong Army were very brave and rushed towards the city walls, but their casualties were also very serious, and they fell down in batches.
