In the final analysis, Xie an's forces are really limited. Two of the three standing armies are still cavalry, and only one infantry army can attack the city. County soldiers are not used to tackle tough problems. Even if they have the heart to tackle tough problems, they dare not put County soldiers into the main battlefield. They can only fight some low-intensity wars or do something to secure defense.
The troops are limited, and I saw with my own eyes that Jincheng is really a strong city. Even if Xie an has 10000 courage, he dare not attack hard. Even if he has that courage, only an infantry army is not enough!
Xie'an felt that it was not advisable to attack the fortified city. There were actual combat examples there before. Just like Li Tan's attack on Dingxiang, after cleaning the surrounding of the city, he set up an array to lead the defenders out of the city. If the enemy could not defend it, he bombarded it with sharp siege equipment, and then flexibly deployed the cavalry in hand to create fighters.
"The center should understand that these troops alone are difficult to conquer Jincheng." Yuan Qiao said that, but his head was shaking: "but the attack on Yan Guo is also on the line..."
The melting of ice and snow in Xiliang is earlier than that in Liaodong. In the form of this year, about a month after the melting of ice and snow in Xiliang, should the ice and snow in Beiping county also melt?
The strength of Zhang's Liang state is not as strong as Murong Yan state. Of course, the Han state will pay attention to the stronger Murong Yan state. Another reason is that the attack on Yan was personally enlisted by the king Liu Yan. It is certain that the Han state will put the main force on the battlefield of attacking Yan.
"The war situation in Shuozhou has been decided, and then the remnants of the elimination can only be used as cavalry." Xie an will certainly strive for more troops, so he said to Yuan Qiao: "there are still several infantry troops under the shogunate of the Hussars general, and there are more than 100000 County soldiers."
"Of course, Qiao will try, and it is very likely to succeed, that is..." Yuan Qiao had a headache when he thought of Ran Min: "I'm afraid it will annoy the Hussars general?"
"They all serve the country, where they need more troops." When Xie an said this, he actually had no confidence in his heart and lied casually: "the Hussars general must be able to understand."
In other words, if ran min is such a reasonable man, two cavalry armies and an infantry army are under Xie an's command, why bother Xie an again and again?
In the Military Academy of the Han Dynasty, the generals below the general will lead the troops in peacetime, but those at the general level will be prepared only when they go to war. In fact, in the non war state, there are only qualified personal soldiers. The general will set up the shogunate, and the troops are temporarily allocated to the shogunate system. Not every general has a standing army under his command all the time.
Ran min, the general of the hussars, was responsible for the war against Bingzhou and Shuozhou. After nearly a year, the war had actually come to an end. There was only one besieged Dingxiang in Bingzhou, and Shuozhou was constantly cleaning up visible aliens. It was precisely because of this that after the center decided to attack Zhang's Liang country, he was transferred to xie'an's command system.
When there are few troops, there should be corresponding playing methods. However, Xie an can't let the Jincheng garrison notice and dare not attack the city. He can only attack the Acropolis of Jincheng step by step.
The whole army's stone catapults were concentrated on a military fort. More than 120 stone catapults were spread out to guard the periphery with cavalry. The infantry put on a posture of waiting for the day. That's how the stone catapults fired stone bullets endlessly, and the bed crossbow, vehicle crossbow and strong crossbow troops formed an arrow array to cover it from time to time.
The ground vibration of the attacked Fort never stopped. For the first time, they tried to go out and destroy the Han Army's riprap truck. As soon as the team got out of the bunker, they were forced back by the arrow rain. They never tried to get out of the bunker again.
"It's not that the last general is incompetent, but that he really can't get out." The castle keeper's face was pale: "we can't organize an arrow array to meet the enemy. We can only fight the enemy with cold arrows."
Stone bullets fall all the time, no matter in the open space or in the building. Whether you can live a little longer is entirely a matter of luck. It's bad enough. Even if you hide in the building, the arrows fired by the Han army can't penetrate the wall, but the stone bullets fired by the Han army can penetrate the wall.
Under the repeated bombardment of the dense and unstoppable stone bullets, the walls around the general's castle have long been smashed into a bad shape. The larger the buildings, the faster they fall, forcing Suofu to pass over the general of the castle and order the soldiers to hide in the cellar, or simply retreat into the tunnel temporarily.
"It's completely a way to fight with great wealth..." Suo Fu said that there is fear, but more sadness and anger: "we have no power to fight back..."
The castle Master said weakly, "we are still shooting cold arrows..."
The status of the riprap truck is actually the same as that of the gun with firearms, but the shooting distance of the riprap truck is relatively close. It is impossible to simply kill the enemy with a riprap truck, but it can give the greatest psychological blow to the enemy. In fact, it is the infantry who really decide the victory or defeat.
There is nothing wrong. No matter what long-range weapons are used, the infantry can decide the final victory or defeat of the war. That is another way of understanding people-oriented.
The reason why Suofu still insisted was that he knew that the Han army would finally send troops to meet each other in close combat no matter how long the long-range equipment bombardment was. What he didn't know was when the Han Army's troops would launch an attack.
"Down, down, down!"
"Collapse, collapse, collapse!"
The battlefield was full of noise. It was the Han Army that fell, and it was the Liang army of Zhang family that fell. One side roared with joy, while the other was devastated.
Since there is only one fort at war, the attention of the officers and men of both sides on the battlefield must be focused.
The soldiers of Zhang's Liang army have not seen the launching of stone catapults, but they have not seen so many stone catapults being used in one place. Of course, they will be very happy to smash the enemy, but if their own side is smashed, it will be another mood.
It was only less than two quarters of an hour. It seemed that the fort, which was well fortified and solid, was almost in ruins after being bombarded for two quarters of an hour. There were ruins everywhere. There were no intact buildings. You can imagine what happened to the defenders in the fort.
"Jie Jun... Is that how he was defeated bit by bit?" Yi Chuai's lips trembled, and he didn't know whether he was glad of his choice or shocked by the long-range instrument attack display of the Han Army: "stone bullets continue to bombard, bed crossbows and strong crossbows are covered intermittently, so is the city defense war. Who can carry it in the field?"
Zhang's Liang army counted one by one. If he didn't admit it, he was really shocked by the sharp long-range attack power of the Han army.
Zhang Chong really collected information about the war between the Han Army and Shijie Zhao army.
In the early stage, the Han army fought with the Zhao army of Shi Jie. The Han Army basically organized a shield array with sharp strong crossbows, strong bows and crossbows against the Zhao army of Shi Jie. Regardless of whether it was cavalry or infantry, the Zhao army of Shi Jie would die a large number of people if it wanted to get close to the Han army. Even if it was really close, it would shake the shield wall under endless crossbow attacks.
After the middle and late period, the war between the Han state and the state of Shi Jie Zhao entered the stage of cavalry competition. The problem is that many cavalry of the Han Army are also equipped with crossbows. In addition to crossbows, there are also bows or small crossbows. Shi Jie Zhao army, which has not many armor at all, is always shot first.
"Han Army..." Zhang Chong could not hide his bitterness: "too rich, too... Know how to make use of his own advantages."
Of course, rich, poor countries don't have at least one set of leather armor like the soldiers of the Han army. All the key arms are equipped with iron armor. The most common soldier has at least one dagger in addition to the main weapon. Who can get rich in previous dynasties?
It must be said that in the era of cold weapons in China, the richest army was the army in the early days of Li Tang. However, Li Tang used the government soldier system. Even the most ordinary soldier actually bought and matched his own equipment. In addition to the standardized outer uniforms and main weapons, no one can control how many sets of armor he wears or how many weapons he carries inside.
In the early days of Li Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers were basically good family children. If you want to be a soldier, you must have some family capital. In addition, you must be absorbed into the government soldiers and yongyetian. After Li Tang gradually degenerated, the government soldiers became bigger and bigger than before.
However, in addition to the Han Dynasty surnamed Liu, which can be called a strong Han, this is basically the case in every dynasty. The more it comes to the end, the worse the army will be. That's why "the country is always weak and the Han Dynasty is strong". It's not only the reputation left by the bloody war between the Han Army and foreign nationalities for a hundred years, but also the only one that can suppress foreign nationalities and expand in the domestic scuffle between princes.
"Lord..." Huang Yan reminded, "Han Army, they are going to launch infantry attack."
In view of the reduction of the remote coverage frequency of the military fort, a large number of Han soldiers came out of the military camp and came to the back of their own long-range attack equipment, and began to look for their own positions with Wu, Shi, DUI and tun.
Thousands of people can't get out of the formation without good order. Especially for the temporary formation in front of the formation, the usual training alone is not enough. They have to have excellent psychological quality.
The long-range attack equipment of the Han Army stopped bombarding, and the noisy battlefield quieted down for a moment, which made people used to noisy extremely uncomfortable.
Suo Fu was stunned for a long time. When he came back, he roared: "the Han army is going to charge, and all the soldiers are coming out to prepare for the enemy!"
In response to Suofu's roar, the Han Army's stone dumper launched five more rounds of bombardment. During this period, there were more than ten consecutive coverage of bed crossbow, vehicle crossbow and strong crossbow, which caused the death and injury of sergeant Zhang Liang who came out of the underground bunker.
Intermittent shelling is the least technically difficult under the coordinated tactics of infantry and artillery, but it can make the enemy dizzy and frighten the enemy into not knowing whether to get out of the bunker and enter the combat position. The same is the effect of using long-range attack equipment in the era of cold weapons.
"This..." the castle master was completely stunned: "let's go out twice. The enemy covered us twice. Can't we go out again?"
Although he was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney all hurt, Suofu kept a trace of calm, bit his teeth and said, "this time, we will wait for the enemy to make a formal charge."
The soldiers of the Han Army have crossed the position of long-range attack equipment. In front of them are a group of knife and shield soldiers, and behind them are a group of long spearmen. They set up the most common long square array and waited in silence for the military order to charge.
"Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong..."
The sound of the war drum changed from a point to a rush. The drum was ringing all the time, and then the long-range attack equipment became powerful again. When the officers in the team saw that the rear tilted the flag sharply downward, they took the lead in yelling "the Han army is powerful". Almost when the front soldiers launched an assault, the whole army roared "the Han army is powerful", and the offensive officially began.
No matter in the military fort or in other places, Zhang's Liang army heard the battle signal in their ears, and saw the Han Army take over the attack row after row.
"Wave impact is the playing method of the first Han Dynasty." Zhang Chong's fist was clenched unknowingly: "the first Han Dynasty was learned from the pre Qin Dynasty."
In modern times, the so-called wave impact is also known as the pig outburst tactics, which is the constant playing method of the little devils for thousands of years. However, in fact, in the war in the cold weapon era, it is the most common continuous offensive to continuously attack the sea with a sea of people, mainly to ensure that there is no fault between the front team and the subsequent troops and cause the strongest psychological pressure to the enemy.
Rush in a swarm is the same as rush in echelons, but one is without any cooperation, the other can give play to the sense of hierarchy, and simple tactics also have great gold content. It's really not that the army without strict training can use them.
After the Han army launched the attack, there was no counterattack when it crossed the smashed walls. Only when it entered the ruins did the garrison of the military fort emerge sporadically.
"Be careful." Li mi was sweating all over, protected the key in front of his chest with a shield, and slowly approached a ruin: "the buildings on the ground, some careless places, are likely to suddenly run out of an enemy."
Stone bullets and arrows can be seen everywhere in the military fort. Naturally, there will be no lack of Zhang's cool army's body killed by long-range weapons. The dusty environment hinders the vision, and the breath is full of the smell of soil.
In fact, the experience of the Han Army in attacking small fortresses is not enough. The rise of the Han country is not only fighting with foreign nationalities, but also fighting the most with the local big families and giants who have established fortresses or strongholds. They can be selected as a standing soldier. Who has no experience in fortress attack?
A burst of howling sounded abruptly. It seemed that there was a little echo across something?
Li Mi had just put his foot into a broken wall. Suddenly, a cover was lifted on the ground. He looked at the ashen man coming out. He was a little stunned. He immediately stepped forward without waiting for the man to drill out of the hole and cut his head with a knife.
The corpse with lost head spewed out a stream of red blood from the blood fountain in the neck, and then softened and fell down.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Li Mi's body was splashed with blood. He said, "come around and kill anyone who shows up!"
