Chapter 466 Siege
Although Liu Jing didn't know how powerful this new type of artillery was called a mortar, seeing that Liu Weishi was so cautious and the emperor issued a special order, it was definitely not that simple. After so many years, Liu Jing knew very well about the Martial Arts and Zhu Yijun.
"When can I try it?" Liu Jing said excitedly with an expression on his face. He is looking forward to it now.
Liu Weishi didn't keep it in hiding, and said with a smile: "It's getting late now, so why not tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, then it's morning tomorrow!" Liu Jing said with a smile. Liu Jing is in a hurry now. He is really afraid that Liu Weishi will take a break or something. Now Liu Weishi's attitude makes Liu Jing very satisfied, very satisfied. After sending Liu Weishi away, Liu Jing began to dispatch troops and prepare to attack Loushan Pass tomorrow.
In history, Liu Jing attacked Loushan Pass and could only sigh. It was not until May of the following year that Liu Jing took advantage of the slackness of the Loushan Pass and was careless, so he made people climb the cliff and attack Loushan Pass, and then he took down Loushan Pass. In this life, Liu Jing would definitely not accept such a result. If so, Liu Jing would not have been able to wait for the New Year to turn.
Not to mention other people, Zhu Yijun can't stand it. Do you want to beat Yang Yinglong for three or five years? What should I do in other places?
Now that Zhu Yijun's army is taking Jiaozhi south, the next step is to take the Mangyingli directly and destroy the Dongyu Dynasty. Zhu Yijun is still thinking about marching from two directions. If you delay this, wouldn't it delay the entire strategic layout? This is absolutely impossible. Liu Jing dare not delay it for too long.
The next morning, Yang Chaodong at Loushan Pass discovered that the Ming army had moved. He looked at the Ming army under the city and couldn't help but sneer.
Seeing that Ming Jun actually took out the ladder, Yang Chaodong was excited. He was really thinking too well using the ladder to attack Loushan Pass.
It is actually very simple for Liu Jing to do this, that is, to attract the guards at Loushan Pass. In Liu Weishi's words, you have to attract people to the city tower, so Liu Jing came up with such a solution. That is, to take out the ladder and walk around. As for using the ladder to attack the city, Liu Jing never thought about it.
For a pass like Loushan Pass, it is not a city wall on all sides. You can attack any side. The defense pressure is high and you need to divide the troops. You can attack with the help of many people without fear of death.
There is only one city wall at the Loushan Pass. If you want to fight, you can only fight one side. If someone sends someone to guard it, you can only fight to the death. The damage to the battle to defend the city is too great, and it is not suitable for the pair. In the terms of the Royal Martial Arts Hall, this is called the tactic of adding fuel to the oil. The casualties are too great and you must not use it unless you have to.
After looking at Liu Weishi, Liu Bing hesitated and said, "Sir Liu, that's fine, right?"
Liu Weishi glanced at Yang Yinglong's troops on the top of the city, then turned to look at Liu Jing and said, "General Liu, can you fight for a round?"
Liu Jing was stunned, and the expression on his face became serious: "What is Lord Liu talking about when he is fighting for a round?"
"It's just a siege!" Liu Weishi said, "In order to achieve the best effect, can Lord Liu attack the city for a round? Of course, there is no need to really fight, just attack back."
Seeing that Liu Weishi was dark, Liu Weishi was also a little embarrassed. When he attacked a barrier like Loushanguan, he would die if he attacked him. Naturally, Liu Wei could not let the chieftains go. Once the chieftains were asked to be cannon fodder, these people might turn against him. What the emperor wanted was a stable Sichuan, not a Sichuan where the chieftains were in chaos.
Liu Jing did not dare to do such a thing. The consequence of doing so was that he would be defeated by the emperor and he would be punished by the emperor. No contribution would be lost.
Under such circumstances, Liu Jing could only let his subordinates go, who were his subordinates? They were all elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all their own subordinates. Liu Jing couldn't bear it. If there were more casualties than Liu Jing, how could he explain to the emperor? Liu Jing felt that the emperor had to peel off his skin.
Seeing that Liu Jing had a dark face, Liu Weishi hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu, it's not really a fight, it's just a gesture."
"Our people carried the ladder toward the city tower, and then asked the artillery to fire. We mixed in the artillery to fire a few shots. First, we could let the enemy go to the city more, and second, we could let our people find the landing point of the shells."
The mortar shells are specially made and can hit the target accurately. Liu Weishi is preparing to kill the opponent's command system, which is called beheading operation.
"You can withdraw after the ladder is mounted. There is no need to climb. After we fire a round of cannons, we can go to the mountain." Liu Weishi hesitated when he saw Liu Jing and continued directly: "The city is empty by then, you can go down in one go, which can also make the enemy relax and careless."
Liu Jing glanced at Liu Weishi and said with a serious face: "Are you sure this is OK?"
"Of course!" Liu Weishi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Liu, I will definitely not disappoint Lord Liu."
The importance of mortars to Liu Weishi and the Wubei Department is self-evident. This is the highest achievement of the Wubei Department now. Even the shells are filled with new gunpowder. Liu Weishi certainly hopes that the mortars will make a big splash. Only in this way can the importance of the Wubei Department be reflected, improve the status of the Wubei Department, and at the same time demonstrate the contributions of those of them.
Therefore, Liu Weishi really needs a platform to let the mortars work, which is why he asked Liu Zhen to attack.
Liu Jing pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange people!" As he said that, he asked his subordinates to start assigning tasks. Attacking upwards is not a simple matter, and it will reduce morale if it is not done properly. Liu Jing needs to make a point of arrangement and must give it a good instruction. It is a real feint to avoid casualties.
"Let the artillery fire two rounds of cannons first, and then you rush up. Remember, just put on the ladder rack, don't really climb up." Liu Jing pulled his deputy general and instructed: "Remember, run back quickly and don't let your brothers lose their lives. If there are too many casualties, let me deal with you."
After hearing Liu Jing's words, all of his subordinates nodded seriously. At the beginning, they were shocked when they heard about siege in the city. Could it be that the general wants to use his life?
This is not possible. The lives of his subordinates are very precious. They are all cultivated by the imperial court for a lot of money. It is not possible to damage them too much. Now when he heard that it was a feint attack, he was allowed to turn around and run away, which made Liu Zhen's subordinates breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone understood, Liu Jing said, "Okay, go and prepare! Let the men shout, "You have to do a lot of power."
