Chapter 207
Xiao Qi had considered it before, and would encounter a series of difficulties in fighting in Annan.
When he got here, Xiao Qi realized that the situation here was more difficult than he expected.
Although considering that it is humid and rainy here, before coming here, I made oiled paper wraps for explosives, fuzes, grenades and other things that are afraid of moisture and moisture to prevent moisture.
But there was another difficulty here that left Xiao Qi speechless.
Not to mention the narrowness of the roads here, the rain every three days makes the roads here very muddy and difficult to walk, and the march of the simple infantry and horse troops will not be greatly affected.
But the march of the Vulcan Army was very difficult. The carts pulling trebuchets and artillery were always stuck in the mud and could not move forward quickly. In addition to the animals in front, each cart also needed four or five soldiers to pull it. Push from behind to move slowly.
In order to speed up the Vulcan Army's marching speed, Xiao Qi had to replace the mules and horses pulling the carts with local buffaloes, and each cart was pulled by two buffaloes to speed up the Vulcan Army's marching speed.
In the end, Xiao Qi had no choice but to divide the Vulcan Army into two parts. One part of the Vulcan army was pulled back to the port and reboarded. The transport ship sent these Vulcan military ships to the port near the big city to be attacked. to the great city to attack.
Those Vulcan troops who need to attack the western part of Annan can only have two buffaloes per cart, and more infantry to help them on their way.
Because the Vulcan army was traveling too slowly, Xiao Qi had no choice but to order the brave cavalry to go ahead and hunt down Annan's army.
Who knew that although the Changsheng Battalion encountered such difficulties, it inadvertently became an opportunity to wipe out Annan's army on a large scale.
It turned out that the Annan army had fought with the brave army several times, and their heads were rolling every time. These people were very afraid of the brave army. As soon as they heard that the cavalry army of the Song army was coming, they all ran to the nearby big cities to hide.
These Annan people knew very well that there was no way to escape the pursuit of four-legged people with two legs in the wild. Only hiding in a city with high walls was the real effective way to defend against the cavalry of the Song Dynasty.
Even those cavalry soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were terrified of killing them couldn't ride the city wall on horseback when attacking the city.
The cavalry of the Valiant Army was chasing and killing Annan's army outside, but once those Annans entered the city, they ignored them and just patrolled around to search for Annan's soldiers outside the city, never attacking the city.
This made the Annan army who fled into the city very happy, thinking that the Song people were good at horse fighting, and they didn't dare to ride horses to the city to fight against them.
Under the bragging of some Annan generals, those Annan soldiers also thought that their Annan army was only inferior to the Song people in cavalry, and that the infantry was invincible in the world, and those Song people dared not attack the city.
These inflated Annan people would gather together to shout and curse as soon as they saw a cavalry patrolling outside on the top of the city.
It is said that these Song people are a bunch of waste as long as they get off their horses. If you have the ability, you abandon Ma Dengcheng and fight with Lao Tzu.
The brave army below had already received a military order to drive Annan's army into the city and wait for the infantry and Vulcan army to arrive before attacking the city.
These soldiers of the brave army were speechless every time they saw those Annan people clamoring on the top of the city. These idiots really thought it was safe to hide inside the city wall!
The soldiers of the Valiant Army simply ignored the shouts of the Annan people on the city wall. They knew very well that they just need to trap these monkey cubs in the city.
Let them jump around for a few days now, and when the Vulcan army arrives, the small city wall here is much lower and dilapidated than the Song Dynasty city wall. It only needs two rounds of artillery and cast iron bombs to collapse the city wall.
At that time, let's see whether it is your stubbornness or the stubbornness of Laozi!
A few days later, a large number of infantry and the Vulcan army arrived behind.
Seeing the low city wall, the Vulcan army didn't intend to rest at all, and directly set up artillery and trebuchets outside to attack the city.
Sure enough, after only two rounds of attacks, a large area of the city wall was blown down, and then a large number of Changsheng Battalion infantry rushed into the city and began to kill those Annan people.
Because the loud noises of those explosions would startle the horses, the brave army avoided the siege gate early and ran outside several other gates to wait.
Annan's soldiers in the city saw that the city was broken in the blink of an eye. All Annan's soldiers in the city, led by their respective officers, opened several other city gates and rushed for their lives.
The brave army who had been waiting outside for a long time, how could they let go of these monkey cubs who had been dancing with them on the top of the city for several days.
This round of slashing and killing left corpses all over the field. Some of those who knelt down and surrendered without throwing away their weapons were chopped down.
In less than an hour, except for those Annan people who surrendered, no one escaped alive.
The reason is very simple, because two legs cannot run as well as three legs. Moreover, these brave soldiers also know that this method of annihilating Annan monkeys is too enjoyable, simple and efficient!
So they are not allowed to run away. Once some of these guys run out and spread the news that Da Song has a siege weapon to the ears of Annan people in other places, those guys will no longer hide in the city.
Instead, they ran into the jungle. It would take a lot of effort to kill them. It would be better to drive them to the city.
After Xiao Qi learned of this situation, he was overjoyed.
Immediately send an order, and every time they go, the brave army will start from the outer periphery, intentionally drive the nearby Annan army into the city there, and then wait for the infantry and the Vulcan army to arrive.
Xiao Qi also sent someone to tell Qin Tu about this method in the south, asking him to use this time-saving and labor-saving method to gather all the Annan people together and kill them.
With this method, although the Changsheng Battalion marched slowly because the Vulcan Army had to pull those heavy artillery trebuchets.
But it just left plenty of time for the brave army to drive all the Annan army soldiers near each big city to that big city to wait for the Vulcan army and infantry to attack the city.
With this method, the Changsheng Battalion quickly captured most of the Annan and North areas when the Valiant Army was determined not to leave any survivors, so as not to let someone go out and leak the news.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion have gradually adapted to this rhythm of fighting, and are becoming more and more proficient in the use of this method of warfare.
Many leading generals summed up a lot of experience in this kind of tactics and reported them to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi also felt that this kind of tactics was not only suitable for use in Annan, but could be used anywhere. Annan just happened to induce this kind of tactics to appear because of the weather and roads.
So Xiao Qi gave an order to order all the generals to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic, and let them consider how to use this tactic in dry and cold places.
After Xiao Qi intentionally avoided Shenglong City, the capital of Annan Kingdom, and captured all the big cities in the north of Annan.
Only then did Xiao Qi order that the entire army gather around Shenglong City, annihilate the large number of Annan troops gathered in Shenglong City, and capture the Li family!
Ask for collections, ask for tickets.
