Yang Wenguang sat in the tent, looking at the kerosene lights, looking at the documents reported by various departments, checking the camping and the arrangement of positions. A personal soldier rushed in and said with his hands: "General, the city is gathering troops. It seems that he is going to go out of the city to fight!"

Yang Wenguang pushed the document aside and stood up and said, "Calendar the second battalion of the headquarters, be prepared. Instruct the gunners to take their place!"

The personal soldiers welcomed Nuo and turned around and quickly walked out of the handsome tent.

Yang Wenguang opened his arms, stretched his waist vigorously, and said to himself: "Okay, if you fight, you will know who the other party is."

There are mountains on both sides of Wushuhai City. The Song army set up a lookout post on the high ground and used a telescope to see the city clearly. At the beginning of the army, Yang Wenguang reported here, and the two sides lined up together.

Yang Wenguang's troops were besieged by the third battalion, the second battalion was in front, and the first battalion was the reserve team. With the width of this city, the two armies fought against each other, and one battalion was enough, and no matter how many people were, they could not be dispersed.

The Second Battalion set up a formation less than a mile in front of the city. Yang Wenguang rode his horse in the formation and quietly looked at the city ahead. When the Yingtianxiang Army was established, it gave up the charge of the main general. The commander commanded the front line in a convenient place to observe according to the situation of the battle. It is said that Yang Wenguang did not have to go to the battlefield in person. Today is the first battle. He went to the battalion commander to watch the battle situation together.

As the sun just rose, the gate of Wushuhai City slowly opened, and the Dangxiang soldiers and horses left the city one after another.

This is a big city. Zhuang Lang was buried in the urn city. He watched the troops slowly go out and took a deep breath. The vanguard left the city and stood in a formation. Only after the main force left the city will the main general go out. The main general goes out first, and it is difficult to ensure that the formation behind is not messy.

Today, Zhuang Langmaibao brought more than a thousand soldiers out of the city to fight. He was an elite army in the Heishan Military Supervisory Office. He fought head-on with the Song army to see how their respective troops were. If the Song army was not strong, then actively attack and break their onlookers. If the combat power was strong, then they could only defend to the death and wait for the troops from other places to come to rescue.

Seeing the opponent's troops leaving the city, they were swordsmen, with distinct armor and neat formations. Yang Wenguang said to the camp commander: "The enemy troops who went out of the city today seem to be Dangxiang's elite. They not only have neat formations, but also have been through a long battle formation."

The commander said: "The general is right. The party Xiangjun who came out has a calm temperament and is calm and murderous intent, which is not easy to deal with."

Yang Wenguang laughed and said, "It's a pity that we are not the tactics of the past, so what's the use of these elite soldiers? Order the artillery to prepare!"

The commander repeated the order, took out his seal, and asked the personal soldiers to send orders to the artillery.

This is the disadvantage of no artillery. The range and power of the crossbows and cyclone cannons on the city are insufficient, so they cannot guarantee a large enough safety zone in front of the city. The Song army's artillery can hit the city, but there is no countermeasure in the city. The Song army can prevent the Dangxiang troops from coming out of the city. Yao Shouxin had already done it once when attacking Zhulun Village. The fortress without artillery defense can only be surrounded by the besieged army.

There were about three or four hundred sword players in front, and after leaving the city, they quickly formed a formation in front of the Song army. Then the crossbowman came out behind, with distinctive armor and waist swords. Dangxiang soldiers were good at crossbows. The Dangxiang archers in history were offered by the Dangxiang leader who threw themselves into the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Dangxiang's crossbows were different from the Song army and were good at fighting. The power of the crossbows was not as powerful as the Song army, but they were stronger than the Song army in close combat, and were relatively comprehensive.

Seeing more than 200 crossbowmen coming out and lined up behind the knife player, Yang Wenguang shouted decisively: "Order the artillery to fire! Target the city gate!"

The commander repeated the remarks, took out the seal that had just been repaid, and ordered the personal soldiers to send the order again.

After a moment, with a horn, thick smoke came from each artillery position. With the sound, various artillery shells smashed towards the city gate.

The live ammunition smashed the Dangxiang soldiers who had already arranged the array and shot them straight into the urn. The flowering bullet fell into the crowd and exploded. For a moment, ghosts and wolves howled, and the Dangxiang army was in chaos. The formation just arranged was immediately in chaos.

Zhuang Langmabao, who was still in the urn city, was stunned and murmured: "Why are you firing artillery at this time? How do you use artillery to hit people? What is the way of fighting the Song army? How do you fight this battle!"

The personal soldiers on the side said, "Sir, the military formation is already in chaos. Come and withdraw the troops and pass the city gates! What should we do if Song's army rushed in in chaos?"

Zhuang Langmabao said angrily: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops, and close the city gate! Zhi Niang thief, the cannon is so powerful, how can you fight this battle!"

Seeing the chaos of Dangxiang troops retreating into the city, the battalion commander said, "Sir, do you want to go up and kill?"

Yang Wenguang shook his head: "No need. This time we are besieging the city to attack the aid, so don't force them too much now. First, use cannons to knock out all the towers and cannons on the city wall, so that no one can stand on the top of the city, and then follow the command of the strategy before attacking the city with all your strength."

The battalion commander obeyed the order. The Song army had more than 1,000 infantrymen, but before they could fire a few guns, they drove nearly 1,000 Dangxiang soldiers back to the city, and they did not even dare to take back the corpses left outside.

When two armies are fighting, it is often said that they can only form a formation by firing the position at the beginning. Now, the Dangxiang Army cannot shoot the position, so they naturally cannot form a formation. The position arrangement of both sides is centered on long-range weapons. The era of cold weapons is a crossbow, and the era of hot weapons is replaced by artillery. The artillery of both sides is not within the range of the other party, so the position can be safe and the position can be arranged with confidence. One side attacks usually starts from the artillery position, attacks to the other party's artillery position, or occupy a more favorable artillery position.

If one side has artillery, the other side has no artillery. Unless the other side has been unable to set up positions, they will be at an absolute disadvantage and cannot even be an organized attack. How can they win? The Song army calmly besieged the city, and Wushuhai City has actually become a dead place and has completely lost the power to fight back.

Seeing the city gates opposite slowly closed, Yang Wenguang said calmly: "Each army returned to the camp and ordered all posts to be alert to prevent the party members from secretly leaving the city."

The battalion commander said that he ordered the soldiers to order the troops to withdraw their respective military camps in an orderly manner. The war today has ended.

Yang Wenguang rode on the horse, looking at the retreating army in an orderly manner, and then looking at the city opposite, suddenly felt unreal. He had been in the military for half his life, but in the end, the war became like this. In the past, the scene of bloody battles on the battlefield was vivid in my mind. At that time, such a city with a dangerous terrain had to be defeated, but now it was like taking objects from a bag. He even had an illusion that if he had sufficient supplies and could take these thousands of troops to Xingqing Prefecture, what would Dangxiang use to resist?

The combat power crush brought by the firearm has exceeded the scope of human power to fight against. As long as you do not make mistakes, the other party will be slaughtered by yourself.

Zhuang Lang was buried in the official hall, his face was gloomy, and drove all the officials out, paced back and forth alone. He had fought with the Khitans with artillery before, but he knew that the artillery was powerful, but he didn't know that it was so powerful. The Khitans just used cannons to bombard the city walls, but the Song army used them to attack people. How many artillery guns do their army have? Under the artillery, the military formation cannot form a formation, so how can they fight this battle? The scattered warfare method will not be used in this era, and it is useless.

Advance in the fire of artillery, since artillery became the master of the battlefield, this is not a description, but a bloody reality. The attacking party must brave the enemy's artillery fire and attack the enemy's position with flesh and blood to seize the enemy's artillery position. As long as the cannon is still roaring, the other party cannot organize an orderly attack. Between the artillery positions of both sides, there is a ruthless flesh-and-blood mill, and cannot escape the range of artillery, which is powerless cannon fodder.

Zhuang Langmabao sat on the seat weakly and looked at the roof in a daze. In the past, even if he was defeated, he could still fight the enemy with a bloody energy in his heart. Now, facing the artillery outside the city, he has no chance and can be slaughtered by others.

I don’t know how long it took, Master Zhuang Lang arrived outside the gate and his personal soldiers reported loudly.

Zhuang Langmabao said weakly: "Sir, please come in."

Master Zhuang Lang came in, and Zhuang Langmiaobao pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Sir, please sit down."

Master Zhuang Lang sat down and whispered: "Chief, I heard that the first battle today is unfavorable?"

Zhuang Langmabao shook his head: "It's not just a disadvantage, it's simply a tragic defeat! Before the formation was completed, and before he could see the other party clearly, he was beaten back with a cannon, and many people were broken in vain! Sir, we are our own people, I will tell you what I really mean, this battle cannot be fought!"

Master Zhuang Lang was shocked: "How do the leader say this? Wouldn't it increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige?"

Zhuang Langmabao smiled bitterly: "I don't even have the chance to fight the Song army, so what's the power to say? Mr. I don't know about the war today. Our sword player left the city, and the crossbowman just left the city and was attacked by the Song army's artillery. It is obvious that the Song army attacked the enemy halfway, making it impossible for us to fight back. Now they have artillery and can hit us, but we can't fight them. How can we fight this battle? They don't even have the chance to go out of the city. They will attack the city whenever they want. When they want to kill the city, I will kill the fish. Sir, the Black Mountain Military Supervisory Office is finished!"

Master Zhuang Lang said: "Wuzuhai is a big city. The city has sufficient food and supplies, and can still hold on. Even if the Song army has artillery, it may not be able to collapse the city wall."

Zhuang Langmabao shook his head: "No need to be lucky. When I came back, I saw that the Song army was setting up artillery positions on the mountains on both sides. They didn't have to collapse the city walls and could come in from the two mountains. Well, there is no need to say anything else, sir is going to leave the city tonight."

Master Zhuang Lang said in a deep voice: "Chief, do you really want to join the State of Song?"

Zhuang Langmangbao nodded helplessly: "There is no way. For the tribe's plan, there is only this way. Now Xiancheng, the Song army has made contributions. When the city is broken, it becomes a prisoner under others, and even this amount of capital is gone."

Master Zhuang Lang focused his attention and bowed: "It will definitely not be a shame to the leader's order!"
