The reason why artillery is not used is because the geographical barrier makes transshipment unbearably difficult, not because people don't have such a thing - they failed to see this. It was this subconscious misjudgment that led to today's "surprise"
,
Li Jing was troubled. Although the imperial army sent out this time was only a small group with only a few hundred people. Although it was extremely well-equipped, the scale was not large after all. But the problem was that this small group was an elite——
Forget it, the Tang Dynasty also had many elite black armors.
The key is that this time a small group of elite troops were sent to feign an attack, and the ordinary soldiers in the army knew about it.
As we all know, the warriors of China like the story of one horse fighting a thousand, especially in this first stable and peaceful era after the closure of the People's Republic of China. In short, the people have the conditions to chat after dinner, and even if we don't talk about worship and idols, we only talk about these elites themselves.
, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, there is no doubt that these elites will be more likely to be promoted and gain military honors in the future, and most importantly.
These big guys are definitely better than me!
This understanding exists in the military, but now this elite group has overturned.
In fact, Li Jing certainly wanted to say that it was a mistake in his judgment, so he did not control the severity of his attack, and instead found the opponent's excuse. However, after all, this was an army outside, and when he was considerate of the mood of the soldiers, he would definitely not be able to take care of this part.
It is definitely impossible for me to explain it to others.
But in this case, morale will definitely be damaged.
Li Jing felt unhappy, but there was no way. Things in the military field were like this, and he could only solve the problem as much as possible. However, even if he wanted to resolve this matter patiently, it would be difficult to resolve it, because of these Romans.
As Li Jing learned before, they are indeed not ordinary people.
I had gotten a rough idea of the Romans and knew that this group of people was not an idle group of people, but I didn’t expect that this group of people was not an idle group of people. The small group of elites sent out this time did some research and then set up camp nearby.
——Of course it's not setting up camp, because as mentioned above, Li Jing's wave of probing feints also includes trying out the effectiveness of the newly thought-up guard station.
Therefore, after a wave of exploration, this elite group of forbidden troops naturally did not take further action immediately. After some Romans were disturbed, they retreated to a guardhouse. To test this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, it is better to look at the opponent's side.
What skills does the donkey know? The purpose is not to defeat the army. Although they are all feints, they are not the same as luring the enemy. So returning to the guard is a completely natural plan, because the next step depends on how the Romans will respond.
This is a bloodless act of harassment.
Then the Romans brought out bronze cannons.
And the most outrageous thing is that this time the Romans brought out the bronze cannon, which not only directly caused the Tang Dynasty Imperial Army to overturn, but it was not a direct overturn.
This group of European barbarians used a large number of troops to directly surround the guard post, and began to set up camp on the road back to the base camp from the guard post!
And this bronze cannon was installed in its camp. In the final analysis, this bronze cannon was not, or not only, used to break through the newly built guard posts of the Tang Dynasty. It was also used to keep an eye on reinforcements, and it was precisely
At this time, the difference between the Romans and barbarians became apparent.
This group of people surrounded the Tang Dynasty's garrison but did not attack - the opponent's troops were countless times larger than the Tang army in the garrison, and they also brought artillery. If this Tang army wanted to break through, it would be impossible even if the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals came down to earth.
possible.
But the Romans did not choose to storm the guard post, but instead surrounded it. At this time, the situation in Datang was very embarrassing.
Should this part of the imperial army go to rescue or not?
If you want to rescue, you have to fight against the opponent's artillery bombardment, which will undoubtedly lead to heavy casualties. But if you don't rescue, Li Jing can almost imagine that the morale of the army will not be frustrated, but
It is very likely that the rhythm will plummet.
Of course, if the opponent is a barbarian army, it may not be that effective. After all, in the battle formation, as the philosopher said, if you can't give up anything, you can't defend anything. But at this time, it reflects the Romans'
What's different from ordinary barbarians is that this group of people is 100% going to be surrounded by enemies and use psychological tactics.
Li Jing received the news and within five seconds after hearing it, he could already imagine that in a few days the Romans might not wait for the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty to investigate, but would send letters to communicate with him and talk about them.
I met a group of people from your country and are currently entertaining them. However, these guests seem to have a bad temper. We Romans cannot afford to offend them, so I ask you to take the initiative to come and pick them up. This "you take the initiative to come and pick them up" is of course for
Stimulating the Tang Dynasty to advance - and then rushing to the site chosen and arranged by the opponent to be ambushed until his head was covered with blood.
In such a disgusting situation, Li Jing felt that it was a shame. As one of the most powerful people among the military elite of the Tang Dynasty, Rao could manage "a chest full of thunder and a face as flat as a lake" as natural as breathing.
Level, at this moment, I can't help but want to lead the army to kill him without leaving any trace of him. I have to play some kind of cannibalization. Your Majesty, this is simply...
But after all, Li Jing is not the hot-blooded young man like Cheng Yaojin. In other words, a top figure like Li Jing is the kind of person who has the side of a hot-blooded young man, but at the same time has the opposite side of the ability to deal with worldly affairs.
In the end, Li Jing didn't mess around and calmed down.
After all, this place is the home ground of the Romans!
Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s talk about the Romans’ exaggerated bronze cannon. No matter how you look at it, it is far inferior to the cannons made by the Tang Dynasty. If the cannons of the Tang Dynasty were like that, they probably wouldn’t even be able to operate.
Go to Anxi Town - even if there is a steam train with incomparable camel carrying capacity, how to transport that weird thing onto the steam train, and then take it off the steam train and transport it to the fortress wall is undoubtedly a puzzle.
It’s almost impossible to complete such a forced underworld mission.
However, the Romans did not need to carry the bronze cannon too far. They just transported it from the territory to a location slightly away from the Roman border and just entering the wilderness, which is where the guard station built by the Tang Dynasty was located.
This was the territory of a small tribe nearby, and the Romans were just too lazy to take it over in the past.
And the current situation doesn't stop there, because the Romans brought out the artillery, but the Tang Dynasty couldn't do it!
