Therefore, in order to ensure the speed of maneuvering for a long time and a large range, heavy equipment such as artillery has no way to follow the troops.

Moreover, although the Lizhou East Route Army is a cavalry team, they will also receive tasks of attacking or even siegeing the city.

That's why commander Shen Mo equipped them with a certain number of siege rockets.

This kind of siege rocket has developed to the third generation. Although it is still made of cheap and affordable black gunpowder, its power is extremely amazing! After it is launched with the thrust of fire powder, it has a 7.\n5 kg warhead in front, which is filled with a full 5 kg of extreme compressed black gunpowder.

Therefore, its explosive power is extremely powerful, and it can break a city gate with one shot, or clear all enemy troops within a radius of fifteen meters.

Siege rockets like this were kept 600 shots in the warehouse of the East Route Army of Lizhou, and this time they were all taken to Xiangyang by Miss Qing Mulian.

In the previous battles surrounding Hutou Peak, these rockets had consumed about 150 rounds.

The rest were immediately divided into 150 units by Marshal Jiang Yuxin and asked to take them to Fancheng.

At this time, Miss Jiang was thinking that these reinforcements might be able to alleviate the critical situation in Fancheng.

But she didn't know that Fancheng was already in great danger at this moment!... From early this morning, the enemy immediately launched an attack on Fancheng.

Since the Mongolian army had already had experience and sufficient preparation this time, they were orderly and unhurried when siegeing the city.

The posture he put on looked calm and confident.

When Hai Mutang came to the top of the city, the artillery soldiers on the city had already prepared for battle.

The artillery teaching regiment lost one-quarter of its troops in yesterday's battle, four people were killed in battle and eight were injured.

In fact, with the qualities of these veterans, there shouldn’t be so many casualties.

However, artillery soldiers usually do not wear armor when they are operating artillery.

Because helmets will affect their vision, while armor will seriously slow down the speed of artillery artillery operation.

Even when shooting rapidly, artillery soldiers who were in a state of high physical exhaustion could not even wear their shirts.

No matter what weather, I have to take off my arms and load shells.

But this is why the artillery was not protected by any protection, and it was severely damaged by thousands of enemies.

When Hai Mutang arrived at the artillery position, he saw that these young men from the teaching regiment had no intention of wearing armor.

Moreover, the expression on their faces was obviously full of fighting spirit. They were planning to fight with the Mongolian army below to fight with bayonets. The wounds on the artillery commander Wu Qijun had been sewn with needles and gauze on his face.

Yesterday, General Hai Mutang saw the wound with his own eyes. Although this scholar did not have any worries about his life, he was extremely serious in his destruction.

His left face was almost connected by a terrifying wound from the corner of his mouth to the tip of his eyebrows! However, Wu Qijun didn't care at all. Not only that, the soldiers in the artillery who were slightly injured yesterday also stood on the top of the city today in gauze.

...After that, the Mongolian army brigade gradually approached the city of Fancheng from a distance like a tide, but this time they did not rush to launch a cavalry and infantry attack.

Because the Mongols now know very well that the only thing that threatens them in the distance is the artillery on the top of Fancheng City.

Before their catapults threw ten thousand people into the enemy's defenses to cause serious damage to the Fancheng defenders, any move that approached the city was stupid to seek death.

So at the beginning of this battle, the Mongolian army exposed their usual cunning and tenacity! As soon as the battle started, they pushed a large number of shield cars to block the artillery behind them, and divided them into three waves like a wave, rushing forward frantically.

Under the cover of large pieces of shield cars, it is difficult to judge where the artillery is located at this time.

At the same time, behind the shield chariots, more than 80 newly rushed catapults by the Mongols were like giants, and slowly approaching the city in the distance.

The Mongols obviously learned from yesterday's lessons, and they scattered the artillery positions very wide, and the catapults were also arranged sparsely.

At the same time, the ammunition carried by thousands of people and enemies behind the catapult were also scattered on several carriages.

The war horses pulled the distance away and followed the catapult to move forward.

After tragic casualties and heavy costs in the war, these smart Mongols quickly adapted to this battlefield!... At this time, at the head of Fancheng City, Wu Qijun, the artillery commander, did not look at the catapults, but frowned and looked at the artillery troops hiding behind the shield cart.

"These iron cannons are so annoying, they can't be broken!"

At this time, Wu Qijun said with a depressed look on his face: "No matter what it is, as long as we cannot occupy the battlefield, those cannons will return to the battle sequence the next day of the battle... When will this be the leader?"

"I checked the shells that were shot into the city yesterday," General Haimutang said as he looked down at the city: "Their shells are about fifteen or sixteen centimeters, which is a circle larger than our sixteen-pound flowering bullets."

"So if we have the opportunity to go out of the city and rush forward by 500 meters and occupy the enemy's artillery position.

After that, put our flowering bullets on a grenade to pull the fuse.

One cannon barrel is stuffed... With only seventy shells, their artillery team will be finished!"

“How is that easy?

"At this time, Wu Qijun heard Hai Mutang's words, and immediately smiled and shook his head and said, "The coverage distance that infantry in our city can provide is only 150 meters... and we have no cavalry at all!" "So those who rushed out of the city have to walk back and forth for two miles... I can guarantee that once our people leave the city, they will be entangled by the Mongol cavalry without even touching the hairs in the artillery position!"

"You are right," Hai Mutang nodded heavily when he heard this: "This plan is too unrealistic!"

...At this moment, on Hutou Peak opposite the Han River, Miss Jiang Yuxin's defensive troops also began to bombard the Mongolian army attacking below... At this time, the battle on Hutou Peak had just started, and it was far from the extremely tragic level near noon.
Chapter completed!
