Chapter 351: Is the Ming army coach stupid?
As expected, artillery shells would not fall into the same crater twice, especially if it was a trebuchet like the Huihui Artillery, which had extremely poor accuracy. Although the fire continued in the battle from the east, it did not happen like just now.
The block happened to hit the city tower. On the contrary, seeing the three princes still carrying the city tower motionless amid the roaring rocks, the morale of the Ming army in the east was greatly boosted, and they repelled Guantong's troops faster than last month.
Yuan army's attack.
"Although Mingyue defends the east wall, Mingyue is in danger." Seeing that both sides had begun to clean up the battlefield, Zhu Di stood up. He looked around at the city towers smashed by rock cannons on all sides: "Mingyue, the Yuan army will definitely fight
We need to fire more artillery pieces. After all, the city wall of Changli County is low. If multiple artillery pieces are bombarding us at the same time, the city wall may not be strong enough to withstand it."
"He knows." Zhu Su rubbed his brows with a headache. The return artillery fired by the Yuan army was indeed a bit tricky. Although accuracy is a big problem, there is a chance that tomorrow, the blind cat will encounter a dead mouse again.
What should you do if you really smash yourself into a pulp?
"Grandma, as a time traveler, I was suppressed by the natives in front of me with firepower...Looking back, if he hadn't dragged dozens of cannons over, he wouldn't have killed us." Zhu Laowu looked at the returning cannons with extremely unkind eyes.
.
"Huh? What did I say, Old Five?" Zhu Xi heard Zhu Su's muttering.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Zhu Su suddenly came back to his senses, quickly swung his legs and said: "Did he say that after two days of guarding, it's almost done. It seems that I can give Guantong some some time."
Surprised..."
"Huh? Fifth brother, I finally want to start using tricks?" Zhu Di was excited.
"They have been guarding for two months, and they are almost ready to carry out the eastward step plan." Zhu Su nodded. "Well, actually he doesn't like to use those conspiracies." He glanced at Zhu Di and fanned for a while. "
According to his idea, it would be best if he could directly use the majestic army with absolute superiority to completely sweep all the mistakes of his Ming Dynasty into dust. His Ming Dynasty... is not only powerful, but also uses tricks to defeat him.
Take risks."
"I'm right." Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, but nodded in agreement. "If the Ming Dynasty were not powerful, how could those Yuan Gou have the courage to attack the east of the Ming Dynasty? I don't have to beat around the bush, fifth brother.
I remind him not to indulge in dangerous tactics, but he understands the principle of correctness in using troops. Since it is such an unusual autumn, I have to hide it and use my tactics quickly."
"Hey." Seeing that Zhu Di had understood his reminder, Zhu Su stopped talking and turned around and ordered: "Go and gather all the prisoners in the city."
"When the Yuan army retreated across the river, they opened the city gate and drove all the prisoners out of the city..."
…
On the other side of the river, a tired-looking Guantong had just taken off his helmet when he saw the deputy general Nai'er Buhua entering the account and reporting: "Sir, he has been waiting for the next day, and he only has one month's worth of dry food."
"If it weren't for the bright moon, it would be impossible to attack this city... Sir, do you have any plans?"
"Isn't that very January?" Guantong waved his legs extremely irritably. "Let the camp build the artillery all night long, and attack the city immediately in the morning. I don't believe that tomorrow, in January, we will not be able to attack Changli County!"
What is more urgent than the "March and May" that Zhu Su guessed is that in fact, the Yuan army led by Guantong carried only March's grain and grass with them.
After all, even the headquarters in Naha did not have much food and grass, and they did not pay attention to the Ming army led by the young princes of the Ming court. A county town with only 10,000 people garrisoned, according to common sense, liquid
You can attack the east. If you don't dedicate some soldiers to maintain the logistics and transportation of food and fodder, you won't be able to attack the city with all your strength, and there is no need at all.
Seeking to know, Guo Xing's troops are still watching closely in the vicinity of Naha. Although they don't have enough troops in the east, they dare to hide in Jianchang Camp and dare not act rashly. But if he finds an opportunity, Guantong and Naha will
Ha Chu had no doubt that Gong Changhou of the Ming Dynasty would definitely show his fangs and tear off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
Therefore, "quick victory" means that Guantong had planned a strategy for himself when he came to Changli under Nahachu's order. According to his opinion, even though those young princes of the Ming Dynasty were a little clever, they could not always achieve the same goal.
If you are used to eating jade, you will definitely lose your courage. If you see soldiers several times your own pressing down on the enemy, you will definitely lose your morale and cause chaos.
He also didn't expect that those young princes, instead of messing up the situation, actually dared to go to the city in person to boost morale, so that the ragtag Ming army managed to withstand their two-month onslaught!
"Look! The Ming army has opened the city gate!" someone shouted pointing in the direction of the city.
The boy watched for a moment, then turned around and saw that in the east of the setting sun, the Ming army had indeed opened the city gate wide. Then, many figures walked out from the city gate.
"Huh? Could it be that the Ming army wants to leave the city for a decisive battle?"
"Go and inform the Lord! The bow and arrow legs are ready to fight!"
"Yes, why do those people have no weapons on their legs?"...
As those soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty said, Guan Tong looked at the sunset and saw that the group of people were indeed defenseless.
After a rough estimate, after more than 20,000 people were released from the city gate by the Ming army, the city gate was once again blasted and closed, and then, the more than 20,000 defenseless people came towards the city in a chaotic manner.
Come with them.
"Don't fire arrows! Don't fire arrows! They are not friendly forces!" Someone in the front row shouted in Mongolian. The Yuan army was obviously overwhelmed by the group of people who suddenly appeared from the city. I don't know if they should be on guard or not.
It was time to put Dongda on alert. Someone reported their shouting to Guantong. After several hesitations, Guantong finally made the decision: "The bow and arrow legs are not required to release arrows. They shouted for those people to slowly cross the river from the side. The whole army warned the Ming army."
Take advantage of the situation and open up the city to cover up the enemy!"
It turned out that Guantong was worried that those people knew some kind of treacherous plot used by the army, so although Dongda gave the order not to shoot arrows, he still let the bowmen draw the arrows. Once the group of people made any changes, they would
Immediately thousands of arrows were fired.
But that group of people was very obedient. After hearing the Yuan army's shouting, they slowly walked around the river from the side and did not attack the Yuan army's formation head-on. Guantong was worried about the Ming army suddenly leaving the city and taking advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy.
It didn't happen either.
"Then...what's the situation?" He blinked in surprise. "Could it be that those people are really his captured friendly forces?"
"Is it possible... why? There are more than 20,000 Yuan troops! Could it be that the head coach of the Ming army is stupid? Is he despising the fact that he has too many troops?"
I want to know, the Ming army was already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. At that juncture, Pinghong released more than 20,000 prisoners without any reason. Wasn't that just adding more troops to his own side before the battle?
