Chapter 809 New Commander
"I tied it a little tightly. If the artillery is not good, I have to rely on us. One or two grenades cannot be blown away. I really don't believe it. Can it be blown away even if I tied it up like this?"
In addition to Zhang Bingtong thinking of a solution, there was also a battalion commander of an infantry battalion who thought of a solution.
That is to tie up the grenades. The explosion power of one or two grenades is limited, but if five or six grenades are tied together, there will be another saying after that.
Of course, there are certain disadvantages to doing this. If five or six grenades are tied together, the distance to be thrown out is definitely not far away, so this requires soldiers to rush up to work.
Although Fang Jiuling approved this plan, he did not intend to use it as soon as possible. Instead, he prepared to let the artillery attack first. If the artillery method was not good, these people would rush forward.
Fang Jiuling also knew in his heart that this method required soldiers to fight at close range, and it might be difficult for these soldiers who rushed up to come back. If artillery could work, why bother with their soldiers to take risks?
It took about an hour to go, and both sides' armies entered a state of combat, and in fact they were mainly waiting for the army of the Yarkand Khanate.
Fang Jiuling thought so. If the other party did not gather together, we would defeat some of them first. The remaining people would cause us great trouble. It would be better to wait for them to join forces. Anyway, we have an absolute advantage in terms of weapons.
"Let all the artillery go flat and target the camel in front of you."
Zhang Bingtong held an iron loudspeaker and quickly issued an order. The superiors had already handed over everything to him. Today he was the front-line commander-in-chief.
You should know that this guy is just the deputy company commander of the artillery company. It is also a huge test for him to command so many artillery to start attacking at the same time.
Although Fang Jiuling had already made a speech and was about to get promoted and become rich, everything depends on whether you can fight well. If you don’t have real skills, I’m afraid the captain of the artillery regiment commander will not fall on your head.
The artillery soldiers usually deal with artillery every day. After hearing Zhang Bingtong's words, they immediately understood what was going on.
It turns out that we have done similar attacks at the beginning, but not many of them. Why didn’t our heads think of this method? If we could remember, maybe the cap of the artillery commander would be worn on our heads.
"Let me know. All artillery soldiers cannot attack without authorization. When the red flag falls, all artillery soldiers attack at the same time. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be engaged in military law."
In order to ensure the strength of the attack, all artillery must be fired at the same time. At that time, according to Zhang Bingtong's estimate, at least hundreds of camels could be killed, and the soldiers behind would definitely replenish them quickly.
But no matter how fast they are, they will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of loading shells. As long as there are five or six consecutive attacks, it is estimated that this circular array will not be able to hold on.
At that time, there would be various gaps. Our cavalry was not vegetarian, and that was the time for them to charge.
The artillerymen set the muzzle flat as ordered, and they were also nervously watching everything ahead. They were in a bad mood these two days.
From the time of sending troops in Shaanxi to now, we have basically traveled all the way. We have never seen any army that can stop them for several days, so everyone felt a little uncomfortable. Today, we can finally pay the bill for them, and it can be considered as giving us a sigh of anger.
"Kill me and let them know how powerful our camel formation is. It seems that they are itchy again in the past two days, and I don't know how powerful ours is."
Qu Tutong said proudly, the guy's face turned red, and he was drunk just now, so after he went to the battlefield, he had already issued an offensive order.
Several people around wanted to remind me, but after looking at Qu Tutong's not very clear mind, let's retreat to the side!
And they didn't think there would be a defeat today. After all, their camel formation was still very useful, otherwise the Ming army would have rushed over long ago, so why would it be until now?
Under Qu Tutong's command, the circular formation began to move to the east. Although they moved slowly, they were moving strategically. If the Ming army had no other way, it would be at most one or two hours, and they would definitely be able to move to the attack position.
At that time, the workpieces that came out of the circular array could cause us a lot of damage, but because of the barrier of camels, we could not bring them a lot of casualties.
Of course, artillery can still cause casualties to the people in the middle of the circular formation, but can we accept this casualty ratio of one-to-one? Since Zhu Cixuan started his army to the present, let alone one-to-one, we can't accept it even if it is one-to-three.
Sure enough, Zhang Bingtong smiled happily on his face. He originally thought that the other party would not be fooled when he saw that we were like this, but now it seems that their brains are indeed lacking.
The artillery soldiers were all ready, and a shell had been pressed into the barrel. The soldiers next to them were holding another shell and waiting for the cannon to be reloaded quickly.
Zhang Bingtong was slowly calculating the distance. He had to let the shells exert the maximum explosion power. After all, he had seen the strength of the camel formation. One or two shells were not very useful. If it could be broken, he would not have to be idle here in the past two days.
Qu Tutong and the others also looked greedy and could reach the position they could attack immediately. This guy even wanted to see what the blood of the Ming soldiers looked like.
As long as we can reach the predetermined position, the five thousand archers in the circular earthquake will start shooting arrows. At that time, the arrows like raindrops will be hit, and I really don’t believe it. Could it be that these Ming soldiers are all copper heads and iron walls?
"All preparation."
Zhang Bingtong's voice slowly came out. It was a few seconds before the final order was issued. Almost all the soldiers held their breath and widened their eyes, trying to see what power these shells were like in a while and whether they could break the opponent's ring formation...
"fire…"
