The 1066th chapter decisive battle in Liaodong (8)

(Thanks for the reward for choosing the middle route without leaving or right, thank you.)

The first round of bombing is over.

Su Tiancheng, who had been observing with a telescope, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Qu Qingze beside him put down the telescope and spoke to Su Tiancheng.

"Master, the cannon is so powerful that my subordinates never thought of it."

Su Tiancheng frowned slightly. Now he talked about the power of artillery. The key is to use the first round of artillery to discover the mental state of the Later Jin Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort, whether their morale was hit, and how the Later Jin Tartars avoided artillery and how they minimize casualties. In this way, the artillery battalion could make timely adjustments during the second round of bombardment.

Qin Rui, the commander of the artillery battalion guard, had already arrived on a horse.

Su Tiancheng looked at Qin Rui and spoke quickly.

"Qin Rui, the effect of the first round of artillery was very good. I believe that the Later Jin Tartars would gather towards the city gate at this time. They thought we were going to start the attack. Give you a quarter of an hour to start the second round of artillery launch immediately. You must remember that the first round of artillery required full coverage. I have observed that the Later Jin Tartars in the south gate were the most serious casualties, but the other three directions, the Later Jin Tartars were not very serious. This also shows that the artillery is not omnipotent and cannot fully cover every place in Xiping Fort. Therefore, during the second round of launch, you must observe at any time, pay attention to the direction where the Later Jin Tartars avoided, concentrate artillery fire to bomb the Later Jin Tartars, and blow them out. They must completely lose their fighting spirit."

When Su Tiancheng said these words, Qu Qingze's face was a little red. The general was paying attention to how the cannons played their greatest role. He only saw the power of the cannons.

"Qin Rui, you have to remember that the focus of artillery is to bombard the Later Jin Tartars and give them the maximum damage. I just observed that the Later Jin Tartars were not prepared at all, and they would not have thought that our artillery was so sharp, which is very beneficial to us. I just considered it and the combat deployment needs to be adjusted. It turned out that our plan was to launch a comprehensive attack after five rounds of artillery. Now it seems that three rounds are enough."

"The second round of artillery will catch the Later Jin Tartars off guard. You have also noticed that the Later Jin Tartars are gathering towards the city gate. At this time, another round of artillery will be at a loss and cause greater casualties. After such three rounds of artillery, the Later Jin Tartars will completely lose their cognitive ability. Even their commander may not know how to deal with it. At this time, when we launch an attack, we will definitely be able to destroy it."

"Qin Rui, go and prepare quickly. Don't be stingy with artillery. Even if the barrel is overheated and damaged, there is nothing great. As long as you can take down Xiping Fort and destroy the Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort, it is worth it even if you lose a large amount of artillery. You must be clear that the more powerful the artillery is, the more accurate the more you are, the less casualties our soldiers will be. The second round of artillery must continue to bomb the city wall and completely blow up a large piece of the city wall."

Qin Rui left quickly and went to prepare.

At this time, Qu Qingze recovered.

"Master, my subordinates think that the order of offensive arranged in the previous arrangement is necessary to make adjustments. The three armies led by Liu Wenxiu, He Renlong and Di Huaixiang can launch a charge at the same time, and the cavalry can rush to the front. After the three rounds of artillery, my subordinates estimate that the Later Jin Tartars had basically lost their ability to resist. At this time, the most violent attack on the Later Jin Tartars could make them defeat quickly."

Su Tiancheng nodded with a smile.

"Old Qu, the heroes have the same views. It seems that you have thought about it seriously. I have already thought about this. After the three rounds of artillery, the charge must be fierce, just like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, so that the Later Jin Tartars could not organize decent resistance and put them into chaos. In this way, our soldiers can minimize casualties. However, our soldiers must remember that the Later Jin Tartars stationed in Xiping Fort cannot escape, and the main purpose of extermination of their live power is our main purpose."

The artillery finally stopped.

Shi Tingzhu had no time to clear the casualties, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to go to the city wall. Many places were blown up, and piles of gravel became obstacles. But at this time, Shi Tingzhu no longer cared about so many. According to convention, after artillery, the Ming army would launch an attack. At this time, it must withstand and not be panicked.

Some soldiers began to quickly clean up the gravel on the stone stairs so that the soldiers behind them could go up to the city wall. As for the remains of the corpses scattered around, there was no time to clean up.

Shi Tingzhu's eyes were a little red, and the corpses and wreckages around him stimulated him. Before the two sides officially started fighting, the casualties were so heavy. The key is that these bloody scenes had a great psychological blow to the soldiers. Unfortunately, Shi Tingzhu could not think of a good idea at this time.

Ma Guangyuan and Bayan both rode over, and their losses were not great. As for the soldiers guarding the North Gate, there was almost no loss, but the heavy losses at the South Gate still surprised the two of them.

Seeing Ma Guangyuan and Bayan, Shi Tingzhu immediately spoke.

"General Ma, General Ba, I'm considering to draw 5,000 soldiers from the North Gate to defend the South Gate. It seems that the focus of the Ming army's attack is on the South Gate. What do you think?"

Ma Guangyuan spoke quickly.

"The Grand Marshal, my subordinates agree, and I suggest that we draw 2,500 soldiers from the East Gate and the West Gate respectively, so that the soldiers stationed in the South Gate will reach 30,000. No matter how sharp the Ming army's attack is, don't think about taking advantage."

The three of them quickly agreed to their opinions, but they would soon regret this decision, and their intestines were blue.

The eight banners of Han were well-trained. The soldiers from the East Gate, West Gate and North Gate soon began to assemble towards the South Gate.

Shi Tingzhu has been observing the movements of the Ming army. According to his understanding, the Ming army will soon launch an attack, but why has it been so quiet after so long?

If it weren't for the broken city walls and the remains of corpses, Shi Tingzhu would have thought he would be confused.

Standing at a high place, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze discovered signs of mobilization of the Later Jin Tartars in Xipingbao. A large number of Later Jin Tartars gathered in the direction of the South Gate. It was precisely because of this adjustment that Su Tiancheng decisively ordered not to start the second round of artillery launch for the time being. After the Later Jin Tartars gathered in place, the second round of bombing began.

When making this decision, Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, feeling that the commander of the Later Jin Tartars was a bit unreasonable. He had already learned the sharpness of the artillery and wanted to assemble soldiers. Wouldn't this require more soldiers to die?

Although this situation is very beneficial to Jiangning Camp, Su Tiancheng is still a little sad. This may be the general psychology of time travelers. When killing, the time travelers are always different.

Of course Qin Rui was happy. As the commander of the artillery battalion, he regarded artillery as life. Although Su Tiancheng made a request and did not take into account the losses of artillery, Qin Rui couldn't bear it, and the soldiers below would feel even more distressed. Many soldiers were desperately pouring the cannon bore with cold water that had been prepared long ago to cool down the cannon. At this time, Su Tiancheng's order came, and the cannon should not be fired for the time being, waiting for the order.

The location of the artillery can not be well observed in Xiping Castle, but Qin Rui could not imagine so many things. As long as he could launch the launch, it would be the happiest thing for him.

Two quarters of a minute has passed.

The red flag was finally raised.

In an instant, the sound of cannons that shook the sky and earth again resounded through the sky.

When the cannon sounded again, Shi Tingzhu had the intention to commit suicide.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and the Ming army had not launched an attack. Shi Tingzhu vaguely felt something was wrong. This situation was too strange. All the soldiers mobilized from the north gate, the east gate and the west gate were in place, ready to take action, paying attention to the scene ahead, and the soldiers' moods slowly began to calm down. This was a happy thing. After being bombed by artillery, the soldiers could be calmed down in the shortest time and fight with the Ming army with the greatest strength.

Just as the artillery began the second round of bombing, Shi Tingzhu thought that if the Ming army bombed again, wouldn’t it cause even greater casualties? At this time, he was about to ask his personal soldiers to notify everyone to evacuate, but unfortunately it was too late.

This time the bombing was as fierce as ever, but the losses were even heavier.

Most of the soldiers were concentrated on the city wall and on the base of the city wall.

The shells fell accurately on the city wall. In an instant, the bloody smell began to spread up and down the city wall. This time, more soldiers were bombarded in the air. Many soldiers had no time to dodge and were directly bombarded by the shells.

This is an unbearable tragic scene.

Some soldiers were fainted by the bomb and dodged. They watched the soldiers around them fall down, their arms and thighs flew into the air, and some even rushed towards the direction of artillery fire.

The gravel on and under the city wall became the biggest killer, and the splashing stones hit too many soldiers.

The soldiers on the city wall basically had no chance to escape. After a round of artillery fire attacks, they tried their best to hide at the city wall and did not run towards the empty front. They thought that the Ming army's artillery would still advance forward.

Unfortunately, their experience has made a fatal mistake.

The bombing has been concentrated on the city walls, and the casualties of the soldiers have become increasingly serious.

At this time, some soldiers understood and began to run towards the open place to avoid artillery fire.
