Chapter 828 General Attack

The seven days were not very long, and it could be considered a blink of an eye. The powerful court also held a grand funeral for their emperor, although the country is now in a turbulent situation.

Jiang Lang also fully fulfilled his promise. He did not dispatch any soldiers in the past seven days. All the soldiers were resting except for taking turns to alert, which was also considered a holiday for his soldiers. As for Gao Qiang, he still stood firm in fear and insisted on his city and had never thought about leaving the city to attack. After all, in their eyes, they didn't know whether this would be a danger for the Ming Dynasty people again. For them who were retreating step by step, they were already in panic. The courage of all the generals had been exhausted from the attack of the Ming army. Perhaps all they had left was prayer, but no one could save them now.

On the morning of the eighth day, the sun slowly climbed up, and the golden light instantly sprinkled the earth.

The bustling jungle now seems quiet, because of the war, the birds seem to have left this place.

The strong soldier who had been on guard all night was about to change his defense, but he was somewhat sleepy after watching with his eyes open all night.

But God seemed to be making a joke for them. A dark Ming soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the city. After retreating for ten miles and seven days, they returned to their original positions again.

All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were the same. Now they will launch a total of Gao Qiang. Most of the Wassat has surrendered, and the rest are only some defeated soldiers, which is not enough to cause trouble. These seven days can be said to be the seven days given to Gao Qiang through humanity, and also the seven days given to themselves. The few months of war have made the soldiers a little tired, and they can rest well in these seven days. On the other hand, in these seven days, because of the surrender of Wassat, Jianglang can now free up some of his troops. During these seven days, this part of the troops advanced to the front and merged with the army in front. At the same time, a large amount of supplies arrived at the front line in these seven days. All this did take nearly seven days, which means that the seven days had already made the Ming Dynasty fully prepared for the final general attack on Gao Qiang. The short correction of the seven days was particularly precious to the soldiers.

At the same time, Jiang Lang also made some adjustments in the strategy of the war, concentrating troops to attack Gao Qiang from two aspects, and the common goal was their capital. In history, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu decided in this way that whoever attacked Xianyang first would be the king. Although he would not say such words at this time, he would only attack the capital first, and of course, the casualties of soldiers must be controlled. Jiang Lang did not want those generals to attack desperately for the sake of credit, and eventually caused a large number of casualties of soldiers.

However, during this period, Gao Qiangren did not make any major adjustments.

Therefore, on the morning of the eighth day, the strong soldiers on the city in the main attack direction of the Ming Dynasty were shocked to find that there seemed to be a lot more soldiers in the Ming Dynasty in front of them, and they did not see any shadows in the main attack direction.

Soldiers are the most important thing in wars. This is the key to fighting. There is almost no stop. The Ming Dynasty began to attack the powerful cities. Moreover, due to the concentration of troops, it now has a great advantage in terms of number of people.

In an instant, the sound of cannons roared, and the city walls were surrounded by flames. The powerful soldiers who had not had time to reflect them instantly lost their lives.

The Ming soldiers who had been prepared long ago were the tigers who were going down the mountain. With the help of the siege equipment, they approached the city. The artillery fire behind them gave them the greatest cover. In this way, they could reduce the defense force on the city wall as much as possible. Under the protection of huge shields, they could be attacked as little as possible and blocked the arrows on them.

When the distance between the troops was enough, the Ming Dynasty's slave hands also began to shoot, and crossbow arrows like rain fell to the city wall. The armor of those high-powered soldiers did not play any role, and many people were nailed to the ground.

It was as dense as rain, and the strong soldiers who carefully poked out of the city wall and looked down were frightened. In front of them, there were dense Ming soldiers who seemed to be unable to see the end, just like locusts coming from the sky. The wall was not very wide, and of course there were not many people who could squeeze on it. To deal with so many Ming soldiers, they suddenly felt a little powerless. What's more, the artillery of the Ming people exploded around them from time to time, and the front wall was almost covered by flames.

Although the power of the artillery is great, the rate of fire is a problem. Therefore, Jianglang used the quantity to make up for this, and the overwhelming arrows were even more unpredictable. On the city wall, a lot of oil was originally placed, but once someone attacked the city, they would heat up and pour it down. However, since the Ming Dynasty artillery was mainly concentrated in front, a lot of oil was concentrated by the artillery fire, which instantly caused a big fire, not to mention that some incendiary bombs were also sandwiched among the shells. When the fire encountered oil, it naturally burned harder, and the unlucky ones were the high-strength soldiers.

In combat, it is important to be as fast as thunder, as fast as wind, as steady as mountains, as fierce as fire. Especially in this kind of battle of siege, the consequences of blind rushing are countless casualties. Moreover, the weapons of the Ming Dynasty far exceed those of the opponents, so there is no need to learn from the past, so it is important to be steady and steady.

However, many places had moats at this time, which was a big problem. Under the cover of artillery and heavy crossbowmen, the siege army quickly arrived at the moat. To get to the city wall, it was necessary to break through the moat.

The army stopped at this time, and then, with a sound of blinking, the entire attacking team divided into more than ten teams within the range of the enemy's bow and arrow in front, and then they all raised their shields, as if in an instant, the troops in front disappeared under the shields.

Under the shield, each four soldiers held a large shield and stood up as straight as possible. At the same time, there was no gap between the shield and the shield. So there was a path close to two people to move back and forth under each shield. In other words, in an instant, these soldiers built countless secret passages leading to the moat.

The soldiers behind them also moved together at this time, but they were carrying sandbags, and then quickly advanced through the secret passage. When they arrived at the shore, they immediately threw the sandbags into the river, then turned around and retreated from the side, one after another, that is to say, more than dozens of roads were laid in the water.

And behind them, there were also countless soldiers carrying sandbags there.

Because the moat is along the city wall, it is ring-shaped and it is live water, it is somewhat impossible to cut it from the upper stream, because water control requires whether it is blocked or not but lead. However, because the moat is ring-shaped, even if a certain waterway is cut off, the water will only change the direction and flow from the other side, and it will not cause the water level to rise as the sandbag increases. Perhaps the person who designed the moat did not think of this.

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this is a huge project now. Moreover, because there are many people, the speed of advancement is very large. Once you can stand up in front, the soldiers carrying shields will advance towards the front. In this way, you can ensure the safety of the soldiers who resist sandbags below when throwing sandbags.

At the same time, the heavy crossbowmen did not stop the crossbow arrows in their hands at all. As long as they attacked the city, these crossbow arrows could be used. Moreover, these crossbow arrows were specially made crossbow arrows. Even if the high-strong man took their crossbow, he still could not use these crossbow arrows, just as a 12.6mm machine gun could not use 9mm pistol bullets.

The high-strong men also have artillery, but there is no advantage in quantity, and they are still solid bullets. Because they have self-knowledge and know that the range of their artillery is not as far as the Ming Dynasty, they concentrate their artillery in some places away from the city walls, which can avoid the attack of the Ming artillery. Of course, the consequence is that they have no way to provide firepower assistance when the Ming soldiers start attacking. One is the problem of range, just as the Ming soldiers sometimes laugh and mock them: the high-strong man's play looks majestic and majestic, it is actually just a silver gun wax gun tip.

However, at this time they also started shooting, but the rate of fire was too slow and the number was limited, but it also caused some trouble to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The wooden shield can prevent bows and arrows and fire crossbows, but the shell is a large iron ball, which can't be resisted when it hits from the sky. Not only did it smash the shield, but the soldiers below also suffered casualties.

The soldiers have become accustomed to the casualties. When a soldier falls down, the soldiers behind them all step forward and make up for the vacancy. In this way, the soldiers below can be safe.
