Through Vo Dai Lang, He Immediately Took Medicine

Many people died on the walls, but they did not want to be as short of troops as other states, and whenever someone fell, there was an endless stream of people to replenish them.

Wu Da estimated that the other party had killed and injured tens of thousands, but he was still strictly guarded.

It seemed that he was challenging the inventory of artillery, and Wu Da smiled and continued to attack. Artillery shots were thrown into the city towers like money, and with a loud explosion, people continued to fall.

Wu Da Ming could blow up the city gate directly, but he didn't. Because this Youzhou belongs to the Great Song, if it is blown up, you have to repair it yourself. Moreover, just fighting with artillery, there was no loss, and there were even no casualties. At such a long distance, how many bows and arrows can hurt?

In ancient times, the most expensive thing to fight was manpower and food and grass. At the same time, it is also a competition of war resources. Well equipped, strong combat power.

The Song army did not have much strong armor, nor did it have super martial arts, only explosives and artillery that broke through this era. This is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow. The cost of artillery is significantly better than that of the dead.

When the other party estimated that the city tower was 20,000 dead and injured, he still did not give up. Wu Da hopes that the other party will not give up, and constantly bombing people is also his battle plan. However, if the other party knew that Wuda had sufficient artillery, he might not be so tough.

So, Wuda put away half of the artillery and continued to attack.

Inside the city walls, the stone of Jeruda was shocked, the power of this cannon was far beyond his imagination, they also had artillery, but it was solid, even if it was filled with gunpowder, the power was not strong. When he noticed that the sound of artillery suddenly decreased, he was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that the opponent's artillery was about to run out, and when they ran out completely, that was the moment when the Great Liao Iron rode out of the city and crushed it.

It was getting late, and Wu Da had to pay for the army. Jerudashi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately checked the casualties.

There were no less than 20,000 dead and wounded soldiers, that is, they had only 40,000 left to consume. Yelu Dashi pinched a cold sweat, if Wuda had so many more artillery pieces and consumed 20,000 of them again, then he could only retreat and escape.

Twenty thousand iron horses, no matter how brave they are, they will not be able to break through the 200,000 army, not to mention that the other party also has a part of the cavalry.

In the evening, Jerudashi sent people to make peace with Wu Da.

"Hmph, it's already hit to this point, discuss a fart and directly give up Youzhou City!"

"Yes, let them get out, from now on Youzhou is the land of our Great Song." "

The generals couldn't help but be excited, there was a shameful excitement, and there was a desire to make meritorious achievements. The sixteen states of Yanyun have been the land of the Han people since ancient times.

"Kill all the Khitan people and retake the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there will be no peace!" With absolute certainty, all the soldiers were red-eyed, looking forward to attacking the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and

recovering the lost territory.

Wu Yong suddenly said: "The Liao army is good at cavalry, so defending the city is equivalent to self-defeating martial arts, I am worried that they will go out of the city tomorrow to fight!" Wu

Da nodded and said: "I also think they will fight to the death." But he has 40,000 cavalry, and he shouldn't be the opponent of our 200,000-strong army, right?" Wu

Song nodded and said: "But if the other party fights to the death, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, if the cavalry fights, our army's casualties will definitely exceed them, brother can still have a good strategy?"

......

The primary tactic of the cavalry is the harassment of light cavalry, the elite heavy cavalry of the horse armor serves as a frontal assault, and the primary equipment of the heavy cavalry is the sabers, spears, bones and other swordsmen, rather than the emphasized cavalry.

Due to the fluctuations on horseback, it is difficult for cavalry to hold bows and arrows and accurately shoot enemy troops, so mounted shooting is often used to harass enemy troops, and the primary whipping strike force has to rely on heavy cavalry.

Although cavalry is infinitely good, it has a crushing upper hand against the wolf infantry, especially the cavalry charge will have an impact on the physiology of the infantry, and against the wolf infantry, it will form its mental breakdown. However, the well-practiced infantry formed a spear phalanx, and the cavalry was difficult to have the upper hand, and with long-range weapons such as archers and ballistae, they still had the ability to avoid cavalry attacks.

But Wuda and their infantry do not have that combat effectiveness, how many pounds and taels their own team has, Wuda still knows, let alone what spear phalanx.

Wuda was not used to so many deaths in war. Although history is written in blood, to put it bluntly, these wars are all struggles for power and plundering of resources.

If the Han people are contending, then it is not interesting. But this is the Khitan tribe, they have always burned and looted, a natural robber race. Wu Da felt that this race was still good to be destroyed. The premise is that when the damage is not large, capture Youzhou City.

The reason why the Liao army lost so quickly was also because of the power of artillery.

Before artillery, artillery was generally composed of powder packs and throwing machines, while powder packs were made of gunpowder wrapped in paper shells and bamboo skins such as fireballs and smoke balls, with limited lethality, and more to assist rockets and crossbows in attack. But as a primitive hot weapon, its appearance also makes the nomadic army that has never seen this kind of battle often embarrassed.

Historically, when the first Jin army invaded, the sound of the sky-shaking explosion made the Jin army panic, and the Jin army, which had never seen such a big killing weapon, suddenly panicked and could not attack the city with all its strength, and after several unsuccessful attacks, the Jin army finally chose to ask the Northern Song Dynasty for a large amount of gold and silver, and the whole army withdrew.

But at the time of this evacuation, the Jin Army captured many craftsmen along the way, including many craftsmen from firearms workshops, and the Jin Army, who had seen the power of firearms, decided to respect talents, spend great efforts, and focus on the development of firearms equipment.

So specifically, the military technology of the Song Dynasty is still slightly ahead, but people can't. The magnates have been comfortable for a long time, lack fighting spirit, and the policy is also heavy on civility over force, so the combat power cannot be raised.

In Youzhou City, Yelu Dashi was livid, and he thought that attacking the Song Dynasty was to pinch soft persimmons, but he encountered such a hard stubble as Wu Zhi.

The Liao army was also a little angry. They have always harassed the border and violated the Song Dynasty for a long time, but they don't know when, the Great Song is no longer the soft persimmon of the past.

"General, since we can't hold it, why don't we open the city gate tomorrow, how about the cavalry charge?" Yelu

Dashi frowned, if there were enough soldiers and horses, then it would be okay, but now not only the strength of the army is only forty thousand, but even the morale is insufficient. If the artillery of the Song army is still sufficient, then whether it is defending or charging, it will definitely lose.

"I just don't know how many artillery the Song army still has, if the artillery is sufficient, we might as well give up Youzhou City and come back later?" said an officer.

Jerudashi said angrily, "If the city towers are equipped with such firearms, will there be a chance for us to come again?"
