Kelly Y Zhou’s eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "You mean stealing people from the Tatars … General, I really don’t know how your head grows. What problems can be solved by the horse in front of you?"
"Now our Tiger and Leopard Army has a strong enough artillery unit, and the general castle can’t stop our Tiger and Leopard Army’s soldiers. Plus, Dalai has just experienced a defeat and lost a lot of troops. At this moment, it must be the best time to send troops to disperse all the strongholds in Zunhua."
Weizheng nodded his head and approved, "You’re right. Do you know if the strategist still remembers the military intelligence service I set up before the war?"
Speaking Weizheng has conveniently taken out an intelligence and handed it to Kelly Y Zhou. He said, "This is Zhou Chenguang’s secret return at noon. Although it is not very detailed, we can still learn something about the general situation of the entire Zunhua garrison."
"With this intelligence hand, our butch army can send troops in tit-for-tat to rob people, food, money and equipment from the Dalai hand … and expand our butch army’s military strength through these proactive attacks."
After carefully reading the information in his hand, his face showed an excited smile. Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, "General, it’s too good for you to choose this military intelligence director. It’s only been less than half a month, not only to build our intelligence network but also to send us such important information."
Carefully put away the information and continue to ask Wei Zheng …
"General, with this information, plus our butch army’s powerful attack ability now, there is absolutely no problem in taking a few tartar materials and captive castles. I don’t know how big your appetite is, general. How far are we going to expand our butch army?"
Wei Zheng didn’t hide a face and readily replied, "Since the emperor gave us a battalion of 3,500 butch troops, of course we want the Ministry."
"My idea is that the Tiger and Leopard Army should take advantage of this opportunity to expand its strength to 4,000 people at one time, and distinguish it from the army. We have a set of our own Tiger and Leopard Army. At present, the battalion-level establishment and a regiment with a total strength of 1,000 people are our Tiger and Leopard Army, so that our Tiger and Leopard Army can truly deserve its name."
"After the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army, there are two ordinary regiments, namely the Tiger Regiment and the Leopard Regiment. In addition to the two regiments of 2,000 people, there is also a musketeer regiment composed of pure musketeers, an artillery battalion composed of heavy artillery and a cavalry bodyguard battalion equipped with musketeers. A total of 4,000 people will make up our future Tiger and Leopard Army."
It was only after a lamp of tea kung fu that Kelly Y Zhou recovered from Wei Zheng’s painting of a big pie for him
Then, with a full face of surprise, he said, "General, in this way, our tiger and leopard army will be really enemies in Zunhua."
"We can stop thousands of Dalai attacks when we have 1,000 men. If we expand our strength to 4,000 men, we can stop the attack of Wan Dalai."
Weizheng shook his head and denied that "the military adviser account is not what you calculate, so don’t say that the current production speed of muskets in our Tiger and Leopard Army can’t meet the needs of the army without half a year."
"In terms of combat effectiveness, there is not a few months to train you to recognize how high combat effectiveness these newly expanded recruits can have."
"One of the most important factors that we can stop thousands of Tatars with 1,000 people is the terrain advantage. Do you think that if we lose our feet, this city wall will lose the mushroom trench group, can 1,000 people stop thousands of Tatars from attacking?"
See Kelly Y Zhou slowly dignified to facial expression WeiZheng temper turned and continued, "of course, strategist, you also don’t worry too much about our butch army after the expansion, although not as strong as you think, but the whole Zunhua territory is better than the big world to protect itself or there is no problem."
"At present, our Tiger and Leopard Army is the first to benefit. I just blackmailed from the Royal Guards to expand my strength with equipment."
"From the day on, each battalion took turns to attack artillery support and went out to grab people, food and equipment. Tell the brothers in each battalion to give me a good fight if they want to be the head of the battalion …"
About 30 miles away from Mushroom Margin, a fortress had to deploy troops from all over the country to increase its mobile forces to ensure Zunhua City’s security. The fortress had to be reduced from a cow record to less than 100 people now.
Although the troops have been reduced by more than half, Zhang Jing, who stayed here, is not worried about fortress Ann.
In his eyes, no matter how strong the fighting capacity of the tiger and leopard army is, it also shows that it is impossible for the tiger and leopard army to break into the fort by defending its own feet as high as one foot.
But when hundreds of tigers and leopards really appeared outside the fortress, they were just confident that Niulu Zhangjing began to panic.
Outside the fort, the Tiger and Leopard Army not only wore armor and equipped with a large number of muskets, but also brought nine bowls of heavy artillery.
Niu Lu Zhang Jing, a veteran who once fought against the army, is very aware of the great power of these heavy guns.
Niu Lu Zhang Jing is worried about the unreasonable sound of nine black iron balls waiting to roar to the wall. Although five shells hit the wall, only these five solid iron balls hit the wall and one of the four big pits hit the city directly. Chop the city and smash it into pieces. After chopping, several tartars smashed it to the ground and screamed.
Chapter one hundred and fifteen New siege
Perhaps it is because gunpowder in hand is no longer a scarce material, and dozens of gunners have not paid attention to the pieces of iron solid shells, flying to the city wall as if they didn’t want money.
It was not until the dark barrel of the French machine was hit by nine guns because of continuous firing that it stopped roaring.
At this moment, there have been more than 150 shells hitting the walls that are no longer than 30 battles.
Looking around, the wall was flat half an hour ago. At this moment, dozens of potholes with a size of three feet square have appeared. Not only that, but dozens of cities have been chopped up to meet the tiger and leopard army. Except for a few still isolated walls, dozens of Tatar bodies have been scattered in the debris that have been smashed into pieces by the shell department.
After taking a serious look at the dilapidated city wall in front of us, Wang Feng led the team to decisively order, "The musket battalion unit fired at the city wall and covered the attacking troops with fire. The pike battalion horse attacked the city wall and opened a gap according to the general’s just taught us how to destroy the city wall with explosives."
"Splashing …" Wang Feng command just reached the bean-like gun and began to ring around Wang Feng.
With a burst of white smoke spewing out from the wound of the matchlock gun, the musketeers were covered with 300 red lead bullets, which flew out of the barrel together and roared from different directions to the wall with a slight break.
Compared with the artillery, the shooting distance is less than 100 steps, and the new matchlock gun is successful.
At least half of the 300 lead bullets flew close to the edge of the city wall and shot at the target.
Tearing my heart out and screaming, the battlefield sounded incomplete, and every outcrop was hit by a lead bullet, covered in blood, and the wall was in ruins.
In an instant, seven tartars were beaten into a hornet’s nest by this round of lead bullets.
This round of lead bullets has just been improved in the blink of an eye, and the matchlock gun with fixed ammunition has fired a second round of lead bullets at the city wall.
After three rounds of lead bullets in a row, it lasted for thirty battles, and there was no outcrop in the city wall.
"Pike camp blasting team horse attack …" Always note the battlefield every move Wang Feng decisive openings ordered.
In round after round of musket shooting, more than a dozen people wearing two layers of armor are close together and covered with iron shields to form a small attack phalanx harder than tortoise shells, which slowly walks out of the camp and advances to the city gate.
Of course, it is impossible to watch the tiger and leopard army attack the root of the wall by camping in the ruins of the wall.
A dozen tigers and leopards formed a phalanx just after entering the bow and arrow range, and the remaining tartars began to abandon the arrows outside the city, but the arrows fell from the sky. If you want to kill the tigers and leopards, you must be lucky to penetrate two layers of protection.
Wrapped in iron and wooden shields, the soldiers wore double armor …
Obviously, the arrows of the Tatar projectile are not so powerful or so lucky.
Watching the tortoise shell phalanx formed by the Tiger and Leopard Army getting closer and closer to the wall, some Tatars began to worry, increasing the power of arrows and aiming at them. These Tatars leaned out of the wall directly and prepared their bows and arrows to aim directly at the Tiger and Leopard Army …
However, hundreds of musketeers are not vegetarians, who have been shooting hundreds of paces outside the city wall.
Holding high the longbow, the Tatar just showed his body and shot like a bean when the battlefield started to ring.
Then less than thirty lead bullets roared and flew at the same time to show their bodies.
Thirty lead bullets, even if a blind cat kills him, how many lead bullets can hit the target and shoot into the Tatar’s body?
So the Tatar took a long bow, bowstring and arrows, and before he could shoot himself, his bust had been beaten into a hornet’s nest, and then he fell down the wall with a full face of unwilling lead bullets.
After paying several lives in succession, no one dared to lean out of his body from the city wall.
In this way, in the face of getting closer and closer to the city wall, all the remaining Tatars of the Tiger and Leopard Army can do is hide the city wall and throw meaningless arrows at the Tiger and Leopard Army array.
Thirty steps … When the Tiger and Leopard Army left the last thirty steps from the wall, it just slowly pushed forward the army to speed up.
Soon the distance of thirty steps will be shortened by ten steps.
