The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 242: Attack Like Thunder (1)

At noon, the rumbling sound of cannons opened the prelude to the siege. According to military tactics and common sense, the time for siege is generally chosen at dawn or early morning, which can not only achieve the purpose of a surprise attack but also have sufficient time, so the Xia army saw it.

The Song army, who had arranged the array one morning, did not take action, thought it was another routine 'draft', and started changing the guards and eating at noon. Zhao Qiong had his own reasons for choosing this time. At noon, they launched an attack in accordance with the sunshine.

This makes it easier for the side to aim and shoot, but for the Xia army, they have to defend against the light. The dazzling sunlight will of course affect their hit rate. Another reason is that at noon in the northwest, there is often a period of windless period.

The defense facilities in Lingzhou City were destroyed by the artillery fire of the Song army two days ago. Although they were repaired day and night, the city tower, arrow tower, and corner tower could not be repaired in one or two days, so they could only be cleaned up, and more combat sheds and earthen towers were built.

, reserve weapons, rolling wood, stones, yellow sand, water jars and other fire-fighting equipment. As soon as the Song army's cannon sounded, the Xia army on the city immediately sounded the alarm bell, entered the war shed to avoid the shelling, and those who were eating quickly put down their rice bowls

He picked up his weapons and hid in the hidden military cave under the city, ready to go to the city to support him at any time. But this time the Song army cheated again. The first thing he shot in was not explosives such as flower bullets, but replaced with incendiary bombs...

Seeing that the city was in full swing, Zhao Ren immediately ordered the bridge to be built. The engineers who were already prepared immediately launched more than a dozen trench bridges with the help of the civilians. The bridge was 1 zhang wide and six zhang long, and wheels were installed underneath.

. They are all made of hardwood to allow cavalry to cross the bridge. The road leading to the city has been cleared, and there have been many drills on similar terrain before the war. The bridge was successfully erected. In pairs, the wide moat

Several bridges two meters wide appeared on it.

After the trench bridge was built, the civilians quickly withdrew. Another group of civilians carried a bundle of grass and shovels to move forward, filling the ditches and burying pits. The engineers picked up a sharp axe to cut off the suspension cables of Lingzhou City Suspension Bridge and put them down.

Suspension bridge. Clear the pits, foot corners, horse-blocking piles, clear the passages, and use blasting to remove the low walls that are difficult to reach... Their entire operation was covered by artillery fire.

Completed, and the actions are even more orderly. The division of labor is clear and each performs its responsibilities. One team completes the work and retreats immediately, while the other team immediately takes over. Just like the production assembly line in a factory.

The road here has just been cleared, and the rumbling sound has erupted again, but several siege cars on the same height as Lingzhou City and several siege cars with strange shapes and bridges have been launched into the formation.

The siege car had been used when attacking Fengzhou City, and this time it was used differently from the last time. Not only were there two maximum machine gun bunkers on the roof to provide fire support. It also used cowhide

Covered with the soaked back felt pad, even the trolleys were covered. The people in front were directed by whistles. After training, these people truly achieved the same pace, advance, retreat, and turn, just like one person.

In the past, the carriage was just used to cover the city's work and played the role of a temporary shelter. Zhao Qi improved it. Now this one certainly seems a bit out of place, but in the eyes of modern people, you can recognize it at a glance.

Is it the gangway car used to get on and off the plane? However, at this time, the roof of the car was changed to a spire, covered with iron sheets, which can resist arrows and flying stones. Sergeants who siege can run directly up the city along the bridge, which is more than in the past

The corridor shape of the car is much more convenient.

In order to maintain stability and stability, these households must be huge and driven by humans, so they must move slowly. Although the artillery at this time has been improved by Zhao Qiong, it is limited to current manufacturing technology and gunpowder formula and other factors, and the firing speed is limited to the current manufacturing technology and gunpowder formula.

,The power, accuracy and lethality are far inferior to that of modern artillery. Lingzhou City Wall is long and the width of 500 zhang, even modern artillery cannons cannot be guaranteed to fall on the city wall, so even though Zhao Xiao concentrated

All the artillery soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army were still inevitably lost. He first used incendiary bombs to clean up the defenders on the city, and bought time to open up the path. In order to prevent accidental injury of the siege troops, he could only use solid bullets and flowering bullets to be used under the city.

The Xia army, who escaped the surprise attack of artillery fire, used this weakness to gather along the horse path and the city walls to gather up the city and start blocking...

"Concentrate machine gun firepower and clear the archers on the top of the city!" The two dragon cavalry camps of tiger generals attacked the city gate. Seeing the Xia army's large group of troops appearing on the top of the city, Zhao Zhong immediately commanded the tiger general's direct machine gun team and the selection

The sharpshooter came forward to establish a shooting position to cover the siege troops.

"Order Zhao Xiao's artillery fire to extend to attack the enemy under the city and fire smoke bombs at the city!" Before the war, Zhao Ren and other loyal generals of the army repeatedly demonstrated siege tactics with the prince, and had plans for various situations, and saw a large number of Xia troops.

When he entered the city, he immediately ordered the artillery fire to divert, cut off the path to the Xia army's city, and cast smoke to cover the Xia army's sight.

The smoke bomb was already used when dealing with Cha Ge, but at this time, there were fewer poisons and more wolf dung. The smoke column produced by this thing burned straight up and never dissipated for a long time. Today, there was no wind, and the entire city was in the air.

The stool was covered by thick smoke when he was not dull. Although it also blocked the sight of the attacking party, it had a greater impact on the Xia army. He could not understand the direction of the Song army's attack for a while, so he could only dispose of troops everywhere, and the city was blocked by artillery fire.

The troops are inevitably short of strength.

"It's time for the commando to attack!" Zhao Qi saw that the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the Xia army on the top of the city turned into heavenly soldiers and generals flying in the clouds. It was just when he was blind. He turned to the commando leader Wu Tao, who was on standby, and said,

Now he is the commander of the fourth battalion of the Leopard General. Because he was calm and decisive during the battle, he was elected as the captain by Zhao Qiong. Because after going to the city, the situation changed rapidly, and a strong commander must be dealt with according to the enemy situation, and he is the right one.

Personalized.

"Strike!" Wu Tao saluted the prince, without saying nonsense, and immediately led his troops out of the battle. Their attack target was not the front of the fierce attack, but chose the southeast corner of the city wall. The tools to climb the city were also traditional cloud ladders.

and hooks.

"Tell Zhao Xiao, the commando has attacked!" Zhao Qi picked up the telescope and watched the commando cross the moat smoothly under Wu Tao's leadership. Using the terrain and the cover of land objects, he ordered. He served as support at this time.

The second echelon of the mission also began to move to the city. They all conducted pre-covering, transporting, climbing and fighting training, and were very clear about their tasks.

'Boom...' A row of shells suddenly fell from the southeast corner of the city wall, destroying the fence and crossbow platform protruding from the city. Several Xia army corpses fell from the city wall. Zhao Qiong then saw the flash of explosion.

A ladder has been laid on the city wall, and his heart has also risen. The real ** is coming...To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, you
