But he didn’t think that the mortar firing speed was not only faster than that of the red cannon, but also twice that of the red cannon.
When the red cannon needs to fire two rounds of flowering bullets, the mortar can fire at least five rounds of flowering bullets.
Mortar firing speed is faster, which means that the number of flowering bullets that you need to bear during the whole siege process is more than twice that of the original.
In this way, the expected casualties will be multiplied by the increase of flowering bombs …
When the mighty attacking troops finally rushed to the distance of more than 100 steps from the wall, more than 100 shield vehicles had been destroyed, most of which far exceeded the estimate before the battle between Zhang and Zhong began.
At this moment, due to the destruction of a large number of shield vehicles, many mutinous musketeers have had to expose the guns of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Musketeers will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to hold a musket.
The gun shot exposed the mutinous soldiers in front of the tiger and leopard army, no matter what their status or whether they were wearing armor …
If you want to be hit by a lead shot while whistling, there are two ways to wait for him to die or die.
After a round of lead shot, the soldiers attacked the formation in dense numbers and were hit with a gap.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
As the guns went off one after another on the battlefield, the gap in the attack formation of the mutinous soldiers became bigger and bigger …
In the face of such close casualties, the mutinous soldiers finally couldn’t help it.
But at this moment, they haven’t thought of retreating.
Seeing the mutinous soldiers and tigers fighting back behind the limited shield car has no loss.
Exposing the muzzle of the tiger and leopard army, they seem to smell blood. Wolves have rushed to these shield cars, hoping that the shield cars can save their lives …
Ideas are beautiful, but reality is cruel …
Dozens of mortars were not idle when they rushed to the shield car …
As the shield car gets closer and closer to the city wall, the aim of the flowering bullet becomes higher and higher …
In the past, three shield cars were destroyed instantly, and at the same time, hundreds of mutinous soldiers behind the shield cars also exposed the wounds of the tiger and leopard army and began to face the roaring and lead bullets
Of course, this is only the destructive power of the flowering bomb to the shield car.
Crossing the shield car and falling directly from the sky, the number of flowering bombs in the mutinous attack formation is really too large, and everyone is rushing here. Every flowering bomb explosion can take away ten lives of the mutinous soldiers.
At this moment, Zhang Zhong seems to have sent ten thousand troops to die instead of attacking …
Because more than ten thousand soldiers have lost more than two thousand people for a short time …
As the soldiers get closer to the wall, the casualties of the troops are getting bigger and bigger.
You know, it’s still a hundred steps away from the wall to send your own offensive troops after the war
Defending the wall, the Tiger and Leopard Army only bought muskets and mortars … The grenades with the same power have not moved so far.
Zhang can’t imagine how many casualties the soldiers will suffer when the Tiger and Leopard Army starts to move grenades.
Zhang Zhong, a battle-hardened veteran, definitely surpasses many people in his grasp and sensitivity to the war situation.
On the surface, it has a military advantage, and its own battlefield still has certain advantages.
The mighty offensive formation is still advancing towards the city wall, and the victory still seems to be on its own side.
However, Zhang Zhong saw the nature of the war and the real situation.
Zhang Zhong seems that even if the soldiers can successfully rush to the foot of the city wall, the tigers and leopards will take turns to kill the guns, muskets and grenades, and they will suffer heavy losses, and they will have no spare capacity to continue to attack the city head.
When the time comes, not only can you not take Chengtou, but you will also lose thousands of soldiers in vain …
Zhang Zhong, a rational commander in chief, certainly won’t allow this to happen.
Unwilling as it is, it’s still very sensible to reach an evacuation order …
The word retreat is easier said than done, but it is very difficult
In particular, the muskets and mortars of the Tiger and Leopard Army are constantly hitting, retreating and attacking, and they have to face these firearms all the time …
When the department is not easy to withdraw from the battlefield and send the loss to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang still can’t help but gasp …
Including 2,000 elite and 10,000 soldiers, it’s less than 5,000 if they are really intact and damaged.
Especially in two thousand elite because closely behind the shield car.
Every time the shield car is destroyed, they are the first to be hit by muskets.
The two thousand elite finally retreated, and even less than 500 people came back, which made Zhang feel like crying.
"It seems that it will still underestimate the combat effectiveness of the butch army field troops … only a regiment of butch army should have such a strong combat effectiveness. If the other party is not a regiment, it is a division that is resistant to an army, then it is not even impossible for them to strike back …" Zhang Zhong sighed with emotion …
Just say that finish a department nodded approval way …
"General Yulin is too difficult to fight. Do you want to give up Yulin and attack its county directly …"
Zhang shook his head and answered …
"It’s not as simple as you said … those small counties around Yulin have been beaten by us. There is no place except Yulin Root to give us food for more than three months at a time …"
"The Yulin must call and call … but we need to discuss how to call specifically …"
Zhang Zhong’s idea is right, but he doesn’t realize that Yulin is like a huge bait to attract him here at this moment.
Once the reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army arrive, they will be surrounded and stranded outside Yulin City. When waiting for them, I really don’t know what the way out is except the collapse of the army …
Chapter seven hundred and one desperate conspiracy
For several days in a row, no matter what tactics and tactics Zhang Zhong has, there is no way to throw grenades at Chengtou near Yulin City Wall.
When the two armies exchanged fire around Yulin County, Sun Chengzong personally commanded 20,000 troops and directly surrounded Yulin City.
If there is a wall to protect it, plus tens of thousands of grenades that Zhang Zhong has worked so hard to accumulate, even if he can’t stop the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he can give the Tiger and Leopard Army reinforcements heavy casualties in the battle …
But there is no wall to defend in Zhang Zhong.
If you don’t go in this way, Zhang Zhonghe probably left 40,000 soldiers still caught in the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army …
Just when Zhang Zhong stamped his feet to vent his panic and anxiety at a meeting with a fretful and humble headquarters.
The commander-in-chief himself summoned all the scouts, and a thousand general rushed in.
Zhang Zhong hasn’t come yet. Qian Zong has been eager to tell us that "the general has found out … that we are surrounded by the Tiger and Leopard Army. The Fifth Army has two musketeers, a cavalry division and a heavy artillery regiment … A total of 20,000 army departments are equipped with powerful new muskets and artillery …"
Even with the city walls for defense, 2,000 elite tigers and leopards are themselves. No, it’s even worse. A total of 20,000 elite …
After listening to the report, Zhang Zhong thought of breaking through and retreating at the first moment.
Zhang asked without thinking …
"Now what’s the situation around … we still have no chance to break out …"
After letting Zhang down, Qian Zong’s face flashed a heartfelt expression.
But zhang asked or answered …
"At the end of the general will have checked the surrounding retreat department again. All the retreats have been heavily decorated by the butch army. There are at least two battalions and also equipped with a lot of artillery …"
"Don’t have any way …" Zhang asked with a face of disbelief.
Then Zhang Zhong, who looks dignified, seems to have thought of something …
"No, you just said that the butch army is heavily deployed in our retreat, and not all places are equipped with troops … if we don’t take the road, we won’t be able to touch the butch army …"
Qian Zong’s eyes first lit up, but it didn’t last long before they were replaced by gloom again …
After shaking his head, he replied, "General, if you don’t take the road, you can really ask the butch army to be surrounded by heavy troops … but not taking the road means that we must give up our horses and all the materials …
Knowing that he can’t be the opponent of the fifth army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Zhang Zhong didn’t hesitate for too long …
After taking a deep breath, I decided very decisively, "That’s settled. It’s better to give up the war horse and the trench than to say that the Ministry of Military Affairs died here … We can come back again if the VIP or the army loses the material …"
Zhang Zhongyu said so, but her heart knows better than anyone else.
After the reinforcements of Tiger and Leopard Army arrive in Shaanxi, it is absolutely more difficult for them to grab food and equipment from Shaanxi than to ascend to heaven.
However, after counting the soldiers’ lives and deaths, we can boost everyone’s morale through these words that can fool ordinary soldiers …
