Chapter 1099 Swiftness

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of artillery rumbled like spring thunder.

After the first day of bombardment, the bombardment of Wumu City continued for another three days.

During these three days, the other soldiers of the Central Army did not sit idle, but took out the engineer shovels they carried with them and dug trenches all the way to the bottom of Wumu City.

Some lancers went to the grove thirty miles away to cut down trees, tied them with ropes and dragged them back with horses to make ladders.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the bombardment stopped.

For Chang Wei, the three days of bombardment were enough to deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Tusman cavalry.

Under the continuous casualties of the bombardment, the Tusman soldiers must be in low morale at present, and there is no need to continue to waste artillery shells.

After all, food is easy to obtain now, but ammunition must be transported from Tongguan. .

This will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Overall, their fight against Beidi was equivalent to neither profit nor loss.

Because they not only got the cattle and sheep of the Beidi people, but also the Beidi wealth of the Khan's court.

As for the fight against Tusman this time, it was really a war of pure loss, and the loss was quite heavy.

This is also the reason why he asked for a quick victory and to achieve the strategic goal as soon as possible.

However, even if it was a loss, they were willing to do it.

After all, they should not be too fussy about recovering their homeland.

Moreover, when they recovered Tianshan and went to fight the Tusman Empire, the war would be profitable again.

According to Emperor Zhao Xu, as long as the Tusman Empire was defeated and the order of Middle-earth was controlled, Dasong would control the switch of the next world wealth.

This switch is oil.

He didn't quite understand this concept.

He just knew that this thing would be very important to Dasong after the industrial upgrade.

But he still had a vague understanding of how important it was.

However, since the emperor's decision was made, he thought it must be right.

In terms of foresight, no one has surpassed this emperor so far.

"Are you ready?" The bombardment stopped, and the next step was to launch a charge against Wumu City.

At this time, Chang Wei asked Bai Shang, Lu Chang and Huo An.

"Ready!" The three of them answered in unison.

Chang Wei nodded, took out his pocket watch and checked the time, "Launch the attack immediately!"

After saying yes, the three of them turned and left.

Not long after, the bugler in the army blew the charge.

"Toot... toot... toot..."

The clear sound of the charge spread across the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Central Army entered the trenches one after another, and the grenadiers came to the front of the trenches with baskets of grenades.

There were also soldiers carrying ladders and shuttling through the trenches.

Seeing the Dasong army attack, the Tusman soldiers on the top of the city immediately used the artillery they participated in to bombard.

However, the sporadic solid bullets fired by their artillery did not pose much threat to the Dasong soldiers in the trenches, but instead exposed their positions.

The artillery of the Central Army immediately locked the positions of these artillery pieces, and they immediately used rifled artillery to bombard the positions of the enemy's artillery pieces.

The Tusman artillery suddenly misfired during the bombardment.

At this time, the grenadiers who rushed to the front trenches all arrived at their designated positions.

At this moment, they were only about 30 meters away from the city wall.

Each person took a grenade, and after receiving the order from the general, they threw the grenade one by one onto the city wall.

"Boom boom boom..."

The grenade exploded on the city wall, and a line of fire rose on the city wall.

According to the experience on the battlefield, whenever they stopped shelling, the enemy would always take the opportunity to replenish troops on the city wall to deal with the upcoming charge.

This is why they used grenades to clean the city wall again before charging.

After all, the error of artillery is too large.

At this time, if artillery bombards the city wall again, it is easy to blow up their own people.

"Follow me!" After the grenade exploded, the Central Army soldiers immediately climbed out of the trench.

Under the leadership of the general, they climbed up the wall of Ebony City with ladders.

Although the Central Army soldiers were responsible for guarding the imperial city and no longer fought with the enemy on the border all year round like other armies, they did not give up their daily training.

The soldiers were flexible, and in just over ten seconds, the first soldier climbed onto the city wall.

The soldiers behind followed closely and climbed up the city wall.

At this time, only a small number of Tusman soldiers were left on the city wall, and the Tusman soldiers under the city had not had time to replenish them.

The soldiers of the Central Army immediately picked up the Qin-style rifles and pulled the trigger at the Tusman soldiers who rushed towards them.

"Bang, bang, bang..." After a burst of crisp gunshots, the city wall suddenly became quiet.

The Tusman soldiers under the city wall were all dumbfounded when they looked at the Dasong soldiers who suddenly appeared on the city wall.

They had never seen such a way of fighting, and they could not keep up with the rhythm of the Dasong army.

It was just like they were competing to see who could run faster, but they ran to the end of the horse in an instant, which made people feel desperate.

But the soldiers of the Central Army were obviously not prepared to stay with them in a daze.

Immediately, they fired wildly at the Tusman soldiers under the city, and dense gunshots suddenly rang out.

Some soldiers threw grenades into the middle of the Tusman soldiers.

Under the cover of these soldiers, teams of soldiers rushed down the stairs.

They are going to control the city gates, let more soldiers enter the city, and end the siege as soon as possible.
