Chapter 3367: Reflecting more than one million enemy troops, such a night battle, the flames hang high
This is all about Temujin's night tactics. He cunningly attacked all sides, and at the same time he could cover and echo each other.
And this time, the old wolf sent all the Semu Army troops to prevent any incidents from happening in the middle, causing his Mongolian soldiers to be killed and injured in large numbers.
Just when their four-faced troops were in place according to the agreed time, just when they were just starting.
The incident that made Temujin worry still happened mercilessly!... Through the tactical arrangement of the Mongolian army just now, we can know that the Mongolian army has made sufficient preparations in tactical terms over the past few years, which has been deliberately trying to deal with the Song Dynasty.
The Mongolian army's battle this time was a way to play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and tried its best to give full play to its own advantages.
Moreover, the ability of their troops to achieve such complex cooperation is enough to show that the Mongols have fully understood these tactics and have reached a level that every soldier knows.
So when they confidently pushed the artillery three miles away, the infantry on both sides of the east and west were ready to charge, waiting for the smoke truck to advance from the north... from the other side of the Lightning River to the north, a signal flare suddenly rose up! This red signal flare scared everyone because it did not rise in the fortress, but two or three miles away on the north bank of the Lightning River! They did not expect that the defenders in the Thunder Fortress would also use tripping mines to fire the signal flares and report to their side.
As soon as the unlucky smoke trucks were pushed within three miles away, the horse pulling the truck touched the tripline, and then a signal flare soared into the sky from under the ground.
A moment later, the Mongolian army around the city wall heard the sound of rumbling cannons coming from the fortress!... This time, no shells roared on their heads. The cannons in the fortress fired about twenty flares into the sky in all directions! Three seconds after these flares were released, they stimulated the fuses in the bullet body. Then a small parachute bounced out inside, slowly descending with shells. A dazzling light on the shell began to burn fiercely! In an instant, the surroundings of the fortress were illuminated as bright as day.
At this moment, Temujin's face changed drastically!… “Get out quickly! Blow the trumpet!”
The prairie knight shouted loudly without hesitation.
Now around the fortress, the Mongolian soldiers who were about to attack the fortress were touched in the darkness, like rats under torches, were shining without any escape! The sneaky artillery and siege troops were suddenly like thieves caught on the spot, looking at the light in the sky in shock... Now they were all within the range of the fortress artillery. At this moment, Temujin was sweating down! He was like an enemy punching his heart, and he hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat quickly, but it was too late for him to do anything! Under the blazing light of the flares, the movements of the Mongolian army outside the fortress were clearly illuminated.
At this moment, the cannons on the Thunder Fortress began to output full force.
Temujin, who had always wanted to know the depth of the Thunder Fortress, finally got his wish and saw the limit of the fortress's firepower as he wished! The firepower burst out on the two circles of the city walls inside and outside the fortress could allow Temujin in the darkness ten miles away to see clearly.
On the inner wall of Thunder Fortress are seventy-two heavy artillery guns, and this position is also the launching platform of Thunder Rockets and four "Big Demon King" artillery guns.
On the outside, there are seventy-two seven-fifth caliber artillery guns. These artillery loading and firing speeds are very fast, and the outer wall is also a position where the city guards are shooting out with rifles.
Now, the 144 artillery on the two inner and outer walls are pouring out firepower towards the enemy within the range outside the city! Conical shells made of chemical charges and flowering shells made of cast iron are completely different.
They have greater power and smaller shrapnel when they explode, but their killing distance is greater after they fly out! Often, every shell explodes, the Mongolian army that is close to the blasting point is directly blown into a blood mist! And the Mongolian army within its killing radius cannot stop the whistling high-speed fragments.
They were blown away and smashed, torn and killed, and each gun would cause serious casualties.
Especially those heavy artillery of one, two or five caliber, which even drove a large number of Mongolian soldiers into the sky, causing shocking damage! The maximum firing distance of these two types of artillery is 2,500 meters, and the Mongolian army on the east and west sides are all within this range.
At this moment, the Thunder Fortress was like a giant beast awakened in the darkness, roaring and spitting out a sea of fire, covering tens of thousands of Mongolian troops under its rage! As for the Mongolian army fireworks in the north, they were once again hit by the double blow of explosive shells and red phosphorus smoke bombs at their departure point.
This time, the Mongolian army, who was responsible for setting off the smoke, did not even have the chance to run out of the area covered by red phosphorus smoke, and was shrouded in it by flashing fires of artillery shells!... After receiving the order of Temujin to retreat, the soldiers retreated frantically.
But they had to run so far two and a half miles before they could get back within a safe distance.
Before this, they were about to be buried by the burst shells, and they would be plowed like plowing the ground. Only those few lucky guys could escape by chance.
The worst part among them is the Mongolian artillery troops located in the south.
One thousand artillery pieces, thousands of Mongolian artillery soldiers, and more than a mile away to reach the location where they fired the artillery.
After these artillery were manufactured with a lot of resources and manpower, they were pushed here from the grassland thousands of miles away.
But before they could fire a shell, they were blown up to the sky! The most unlucky thing was the artillery soldiers who operated artillery. They not only had to withstand the heart-wrenching explosions and shrapnel that splashed like rain when the enemy artillery exploded.
Moreover, the heavy artillery around them would be blown into the sky by violent explosions from time to time.
Then it would fall down and jump on the ground and smash the large number of Mongolian soldiers to death.
As for the whole vehicle's flowering bullet, a tragic explosion will occur after a shell is applied.
These shells that were supposed to rage on the fortress city and brought honor and merit to these artillery soldiers are now ruthlessly exploding in the army array on their own side.
