Chapter 1562
The former guard order Hooge as if having a fish bone stuck in one's throat.
As a pioneer, Hooge's responsibility is to clear the way for the main force and eliminate hidden dangers. The so-called "open roads in the mountains and bridges with water" is not just a literal meaning.
But uncomfortable is uncomfortable, and it's not always true to say how hard it is. Although some generals were broken at the beginning, the elite soldiers did not lose much. As for the coating, it was originally cannon fodder.
After the frustration, Hooge calmed down and was already thinking about it.
The trifling front guards had no more than six thousand soldiers and no more than one mile in the city. Although the artillery was powerful, the overall power balance was too poor to be calculated.
He has 16,000 skilled riders, 40,000 coats, 7,000 soldiers, and more than 60,000 soldiers, ten times the number of front guards. Even if it takes human lives to fill in, he believes that the former guard will not last long.
How many supplies are there for a small guard?
How many days can the shells hit? How many days can blunderbuss fight? How many days can the food be eaten?
The main force arrived at least five or seven days ago. He thinks that he has enough time to spend the supplies of the front guard and win the victory.
But there is a premise, that is, Mountain and Sea Trial will not come to help.
So Hooge quickly made adjustments and sent Wu Sangui to the west to watch out for the Mountain and Sea Trial. And with the assistance of Turg led three thousand skilled riders, strictly guarded.
Hooge himself kept sending out coats to attack the front guards, consuming the material reserves of the front guards.
Every time there are five hundred people, one hour will have to attack four times. According to his calculations, for every siege, the front guards would have to fire one round of shelling, consuming two hundred shells, and one hour would consume eight hundred shells. As for the fire bullets, they are countless.
As a result, at most three days, the front guards will be unsustainable.
He is also cruel-every time he sends out the coat, as many as a hundred people come back, and as few as dozens. One hour will cost more than a thousand people. It takes turns to attack every day, and in twelve hours, tens of thousands of coats will be lost.
Forty thousand coats, up to four days.
Faced with Hooge's crazy attack, the front guards were very happy at first, but later they became depressed.
It's not because Hooge keeps attacking and the defense is getting weaker. The two soldiers and horses take turns to rest, which can be easily guarded.
The problem is the corpses accumulated in the city.
Only three hours later, the corpses on the hillside outside Qiantunwei City had already levelled the slope!
If you wait and see, it will not take long before the corpses under the city will be tired and flush with the city wall!
After all, the front guard's attack surface is too narrow, and the corpses are piled up easily.
As a last resort, after three hours, every time Tatar attacked, the city sent troops and horses to move the corpse.
Cut off the head and push the corpse down the steep slope on both sides to ensure that the front is unobstructed.
For the defenders, this is a small hassle. But for Hooge, it was a big problem. Hooge hadn't noticed it at first. He was very happy to see the soldiers and horses in the city come out to move the corpses. The clothes can be more advanced.
But the battle strength of the soldiers who collected the corpses made Hooge startled. The firepower on the city's head was weakened, but the armored soldiers who came out to move the corpse were incredibly fierce.
While moving the corpses, these armored soldiers drew their daggers and killed them when the coat came close. Before the battle, show off one's military strength.
And if Hooge sends a skilled rider out to rush out, the artillery array on the head of the city will be powerful.
Hooge is as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Looking at the armored soldiers who show off one's military strength, he can't wait to charge ahead and kill him himself.
Shortly afterwards, fires ignited from the left and right outside the front guard. The corpses almost filled up the steep slopes on both sides, and the defenders had to pour fire oil on the corpses.
The stench mixed with the smell of meat rose to the sky in the thick smoke, as if there are countless evil spirits struggling in the smoke and dust, so violent!
Hooge’s troubles are coming.
Seeing that it was already afternoon, the coated minions went forward and left 5,000-6,000 dead bodies under the city. The coating minions are terrified, no matter how Hooge urges, or even killing the chicken to warn the monkey, the coatings are not willing to attack again immediately.
As a last resort, Hooge can only be temporarily suppressed, intending to rest for the whole night, and wait until the morale recovers a little tomorrow, before continuing the attack.
Hooge's tactics are completely filled with human lives. If it's just that, it's nothing. As long as the effect can be seen, the coaters can't bear the tyranny of Hooge.
However, after 5,000-6,000 died, he couldn't even attack within 100 feet of city. Not even an enemy soldier was able to kill, and the city wall was not touched. In the eyes of the coaters, it was completely useless. It was a vain loss of life.
The morale drops sharply, as it should be by rights.
At this time, in the evening, Ying Yi just arrived at the Mountain and Sea Trial.
Zhu Bingkun and other generals welcomed the officials in the pass.
"Farewell to the Lord!"
Yi Liuzi General dressed in armor, holding a pouch in his arms, and beating his head under Guancheng.
Ying Yi stood up and got off the horse, nodded: "You don't need to be polite."
Then walked into the city and asked: "How is the situation?"
Zhu Bingkun and others followed suit. Hearing this said: "Going back to the king, the front guard has already started a war."
said: "At the end of the morning, Jiannu Hooge led his army to the front guard, and immediately led the troops. Attack. The cannon sounds twice every one hour, until one hour before."
Ying Yi slightly nodded: "What about the battle?"
Zhu Bingkun said: "According to the night Not receiving detective reports. At first, Hooge didn't know the range of our artillery and placed the artillery array within the range. Before the artillery was fired, it was destroyed by the former guards. Then he sent coated cannon fodder to attack the city. The idea of consuming the ordnance reserves of the former guards."
Added: "The battle report that was not received for more than half an hour before said that Jian slaves have stopped attacking. Tatar attacked the city in one day, and No achievements have been made. The defenders have never been injured."
Ying Yi understood.
Depending on the sophisticated equipment of his army, it is not so easy for Tatar to easily attack the city wall without heavy fire support. Even if they attacked the city, or even attacked the top of the city, the situation would not be too bad. Ying Yi did not believe that Tatar had the ability to easily defeat the soldiers armed to his teeth.
He said: "Hooge's fierce attack for a day, it seems that it is indeed the idea of using human life to consume ordnance materials. I just don't know, after repeated failures, he can suppress his morale."
Zhu Bingkun said with a smile: "The Lord said so. I can't think about it. Otherwise, I won't stop the siege."
Ying Yi nodded with a smile.
Ask: "So what about Tatar's main force?"
Zhu Bingkun said: "According to the news from the night that has been scattered outside Jinzhou, Tatar's main force has already arrived in Jinzhou. "
"Have you discovered the Tatar force? Can you estimate the time when the main Tatar force will arrive?"
Zhu Bingkun said: "The number of the main Tatar force is difficult to judge, but it stretches several dozen li, The number is at least 1050,000. The composition is quite mixed, including slaves, Tatars, traitors, and North Koreans. Due to the bloated force, it takes at least five to seven days for the main Tatar to reach the front guard."
