Chapter 11 The day the city was broken
Just as these powerful people did not take the lives of ordinary civilians in their eyes, Kevin did not take the lives of these powerful people in their eyes! Of course, he did not take the lives of the "untouchables" seriously!
As long as he could drive away the enemy, he was planning to use his life to conquer the people! So Kevin ordered: "You must stick to the city and stick to the reinforcements!"
The three knights had no choice but to be so tough, so they could only bite the bullet!
The next day, after having had a hot breakfast, the soldiers of the infantry brigade came back outside the city and set up to attack the city under military order!
Lu Su said to Di Qing: "General, the enemy did not abandon the city and fled. It seems that this small city still needs to attack!"
Their rounds of artillery fire last night were not just a "meeting gift", but to make the people in this small town know each other and quickly abandon the city and escape, so as not to lose their lives in vain!
Unexpectedly, the lord of this small city insisted on it. Is this a sure thing the Xia army dare not occupy it?
Di Qing sneered and sneered: "Since you think this city wall can protect you, then let the city wall be wiped out!"
He turned to order: "All artillery in the army is ready for solid bullets! Target city wall!"
"Yes!" The messenger was as fast and efficient as ever!
In dealing with this kind of stone wall, solid bombs are much more effective than flowering bombs. Flowering bombs kill the enemy in the form of explosions, while solid bombs are real and rely entirely on kinetic energy impact!
Moreover, the weight of the solid bullet is greater than that of the flower bullet, so the kinetic energy that the solid bullet can carry is greater!
The Infantry Brigade built an artillery position more than 800 meters away from the city wall.
At this distance, whether it is siege artillery or field artillery, the shells can be poured into the city wall opposite the road!
On the other hand, although the enemy is condescending, the bows and arrows cannot attack such a far distance. Not to mention eight hundred meters, even infantry, cavalry, and soldiers on the city wall cannot attack!
After the battle the day before yesterday, Di Qing, Lu Su and others learned about the enemy's weapons and attack methods.
Most of the forces in this place are mainly melee combat, and the weapons they hold are also strange, including axe-like chopping weapons, common barrel-sting weapons such as long spears, and even weapons that throw stones!
The long-distance attack weapons are mainly bows and arrows, but they seem to be hunting bows made by civilians for hunting, but they are not discovered for special combat bows! For example, crossbows that require certain mechanical knowledge, there is nothing more!
Perhaps because these territories are very remote, the information sent back from Changsun Sheng's caravan, the three more powerful territories in the north already have professional professional soldiers!
"Fire the gun~!"...
A total of 117 artillery bombarded the walls of the small city, one round after another, endless!
"Boom~!"
This is not the sound of artillery, but the sound of the long-range city wall falling! The soldiers on the city wall have long been buried deep underground!
Maybe it can still be resisted in the first few rounds, but after more rounds, the city wall can only collapse, and the attacks behind it are completely in the attack city!
When the cannon heats up so much that it cannot cool down immediately, it has already attacked for more than ten rounds!
Looking at the walls of the small city, there are only a pile of ruins left, piled up on the original site!
Even the houses in the city are large and there is no trace of traces, leaving only ruins. Only from a further distance can you see the declining houses!
Ten rounds of siege artillery fired, fifteen rounds of field artillery fired, and a total of 1,575 shells were poured into the small city!
Such an attack and such an attack power are once again revealed to the people in this world!
After seeing that both walls collapsed, Di Qing pulled out his battle knife and issued an order to attack the city!
"The artillery quickly dissipate the heat, the cavalry surrounded the city gates, and the infantry began to attack!"
The cavalry were divided into two teams, blocking the other two city gates that were not attacked, and one was out to kill the other, and never let an enemy go away!
The infantry took neat steps again, climbed over the ruined city wall and entered the small city. As long as they saw the person still running, they would never let it go!
Lu Su suggested at this time: "General, street fighting will cause great casualties. Should we wait until the artillery cools down before attacking?"
Di Qing looked at the warriors entering the city, shook his head, and explained: "No, look at the city, are there still people resisting now?"
Lu Su was just worried that the army would suffer too much casualties. Now, seeing the soldiers entering the city as if they were entering a deserted land without any resistance, he would not say more!
This is because the two of them have different angles, so they think differently when they look at the problem at the first time.
Di Qing is the commander-in-chief of the first army, thinking about how to win! Lu Su is the staff officer, thinking about tactics and tactics, and how to reduce casualties!
But their other idea is the same, that is, they must complete the order issued by the Lord!
This time, Yang Song gave them three goals.
First, we will fight the passageway so that the caravan can return, which is also the main purpose of this expedition!
The second is to plunder food, which is also a task that must be completed. Xia State sent a caravan because of shortage of food. This goal is total benefit!
The third is to punish the enemy and let these forces that are enemies of Xia know that being enemies with me is the stupidest way to do it!
The first two are goals that must be completed, and the last task can be completed by the way. Just like now, as long as Kevin is still alive, he will never dare to be an enemy of Xia Country again!
When Lu Su saw the one-sided killing in the city, he frowned and suggested again: "General, ordinary civilians do not need to be killed. In addition to the counter-effect, it will also delay time!"
Lu Su was not kind-hearted. That's what he thought. Killing too many civilians was a stain for Xia State!
Di Qing thought about it and nodded in agreement with Lu Su's suggestion and ordered: "Order the army to stop attacking civilians and occupy this small town as soon as possible!"
Although I will give up this small town in the end, I will occupy it for no other reason, but to complete Yang Song's second task - plundering food!
In fact, the only remaining power in this small town has been destroyed by the bombardment of the artillery just now! Even the civilians who were forced to conscript, they have long since gone! Except...
"Report to the general! The castle in the middle of the small town refuses to surrender, please instruct!" A Pegasus messenger reported the situation of the castle in the middle of the city!
Because Di Qing ordered not to attack this castle, and try to persuade him to surrender as much as possible.
But now it seems that Kevin is relying on the strength of the castle and the identity of the "lord", so he will not compromise!
"Oh? Is it true? Haha~!" Di Qing knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he heard it, sneered twice, and ordered.
"Blast the castle!"
