Become a feudal king from today

"What a big battle." Chang Wei slowly put down the telescope, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Mo Yu stood beside Chang Wei, "Beidi is bound to win Yanguan this time, and he doesn't even care about the plague."

Chang Wei nodded, "Mulehong is really shrewd. Even if the Beidi army is infected with the plague, only half of them will die. It is worthwhile to capture Yanguan. But if they miss this opportunity, they may not be able to capture more than half of the casualties in the future." "Go to Yanguan."

"Indeed." Mo Yu agreed with Chang Wei's statement, "In that case, let's fight it out."

In war, there is often a combination of good and strange, which is the conventional method of warfare.

This time, the defense against Beidi's attack on Yanguan was a frontal confrontation, attracting the enemy's attention.

The strange rule is a ruse. The troops attacking from the sea are part of the ruse and will catch the Beidi people by surprise.

After observing the layout of the Beidi camp for a while, Chang Wei and Mo Yu inspected the city wall, especially the bastion-style outer wall outside the old city wall.

These outer walls were built at the end of the Northern Expedition.

The triangular outer wall protrudes twenty meters from the old city wall.

There are turrets on both sides of the outer wall, and the artillery on them is aimed at both sides, so that there is no blind spot on the entire outer wall and can attack enemies in any direction.

After the war started, soldiers stationed on the outer wall and cooperated with artillery to kill and injure enemy soldiers.

"His Royal Highness said that a lot of money was spent on this outer wall. This time, let the Beidi people taste the power of the fortress-style outer wall." Chang Wei smiled coldly after walking from east to west.

Mo Yu always had a calm smile on his face.

In this way, the outer wall of the bastion was combined with the weapons of the royal army.

Even if he only has 30,000 people, he is confident that he can stop the Beidi army.

Sixty thousand people is simply more than enough.

After another inspection of the military camp in the city, Chang Wei summoned the generals to discuss matters that needed attention during the war.

For example, when the enemy is attacking the city, how to use the outer wall of the bastion to attack the enemies climbing the city wall and how to defend against sneak attacks at night, etc.

The next day.

As the sky turned bright, Chang Wei was called out by Mo Yu.

The Beidi people officially attacked the city.

When they came to the city wall, Chang Wei found that soldiers kept pouring out of the Beidi camp.

These soldiers formed a loose formation and stopped five hundred meters away from Yanguan.

The dirt is then excavated and sandbags are used to construct earth walls.

There are gaps left every five meters in the earthen wall.

Witnessing all this through the telescope, Chang Wei frowned, "The artillerymen in Beidi were frightened by them, or they were given guidance."

Because the artillery of the royal army had a distance advantage over Beidi's artillery.

When they were building an artillery position, they only needed to find a suitable place and pull the artillery there.

But in the military school, King Yan also talked about how to build artillery positions when artillery has no advantage over the enemy.

This is to use sandbags and the like to build a temporary earth wall to protect the artillery and artillery within the earth wall, leaving only space at the muzzle for shooting.

Obviously, Beidi is doing this right now.

"I'm afraid he was given some advice. His Highness said that there are missionaries from the Rus Kingdom in Beidi." Mo Yu said, "You can see that their movements are very skillful."

Chang Wei continued to observe.

When artillery positions were built in the east, Beidi also built artillery positions in the west.

An hour later, Beidi soldiers pulled the artillery out of the camp and entered the artillery position one after another.

"Tang Qing, can you destroy their artillery position?" Chang Wei called the artillery captain Tang Qing over.

As an artillery general, Tang Qing naturally noticed the enemy's artillery actions immediately. He said: "It's possible, but it's a lot of trouble."

The artillery positions constructed by Beidi are equivalent to putting armor on naked soldiers.

Although you can still kill the opponent, the time and ammunition consumed will increase a lot.

As a result, their soldiers would be exposed to enemy shelling for longer.

Chang Wei and Mo Yu looked at each other.

Beidi is making progress in the use of artillery.

However, although I was a little surprised by Beidi's new tactics.

But they were not affected much.

As Tang Qing said, it's a little troublesome, but it can be solved.

The artillery of the royal army was far beyond theirs in power and range.

In a battle within five hundred meters, the difference in artillery power between the two sides is like that of an adult and a ten-year-old child.

It's just that, for him, this is not a very good sign.

Beidi can even hand over the art of casting cannons to powerful people.

Will you also share your experience in using firearms on the battlefield with powerful people in the future?

If this is the case, the civil strife in Dasong will probably be even more brutal in the future.

"Boom boom boom..."

While the two were thinking, suddenly bursts of fire and thick smoke erupted from Beidi's artillery position.

Black cannonballs flew towards the outer wall of the bastion like raindrops.

"Dodge!"

The moment Beidi was bombarded, the generals on the city wall immediately shouted.

The soldiers immediately hid behind the walls.

"Dong dong dong..." The heavy shells hit the outer wall of the bastion and made a muffled sound.

But the shell only left a shallow dent on the surface of the wall before falling to the ground.

The Beidi artillery has a range of only eight or nine hundred meters, and its effective range is only five hundred meters.

At this distance, Beidi's artillery shells were no longer very powerful and could not cause any damage to the concrete outer wall of the bastion.

Even the outer walls of the bastion can withstand cannonball attacks, unlike brick walls that can be knocked down by cannonballs.

After a round of shelling, there were no casualties among the soldiers on the city wall.

The soldiers stood up with more confidence on their faces.

When the Beidi artillery attacked Yanguan, the Beidi soldiers in the camp moved.

Ladders, rams, siege engines and other siege equipment came out of the camp one after another.

Beidi soldiers pushed siege equipment and kept moving towards Yanguan.

"Tang Qing, deal with their artillery." Chang Wei ordered, "then pull out some of the artillery to bombard their siege equipment."

The Beidi artillerymen were obviously covering the infantry siege.

While Chang Wei was giving orders to Tang Qing, Mo Yu was asking the soldiers to enter their positions according to daily drills.

The artillery was in position, and soldiers holding rifles also entered the front wall and the protruding bastion wall.

At their location, gravel, rolling logs, and kerosene were prepared in advance, and defense supplies were sufficient.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Another burst of gunfire echoed through the sky.

This time it was the artillery of the royal family.

They had a clear division of labor. One part attacked the Beidi artillery position in the east, one part attacked the Beidi artillery position in the west, and another part attacked the siege equipment in the front fiercely.

This time Beidi brought a total of 360 artillery pieces.

However, there are only 272 artillery pieces in Yanguan Pass.

But these 270 artillery pieces are all improved artillery pieces that have been machined.

When these artillery shells flew towards the Beidi artillery position, bursts of smoke and dust were immediately thrown up.

A shell hit the sandbag in front of the Beidi artillery, overturning the sandbag directly. The shell remained unabated and directly hit the Beidi artillery.

Before he even had time to scream, the Beidi Artilleryman flew backwards and landed on the ground with his chest deeply dented.
