Chapter 2063 Innocent Woman 37

Not to mention Dong Hanzhang's thoughts, but he said that the people in the artillery camp over there behaved even worse. After being sneak attacked several times, they would bombard them indiscriminately at the slightest sign of trouble - sometimes An Ran's people were actually making sneak attacks, and sometimes An Ran's There was no sneak attack, they just deliberately spread some rumors to lure the enemy to fire artillery and waste their artillery shells. After all, the most important thing for these artillery battalion people is the artillery and ammunition. As long as the artillery and ammunition are lost, her purpose will be achieved.

It is normal for ammunition to be lost. Why do they let them keep firing, and the artillery will also suffer losses? This is because the quality of the artillery in this era is not good, and it is easy to explode the chamber, so the more shots are fired, the more dangerous it is. Once the chamber is exploded, the artillerymen can easily lose their lives, killing two birds with one stone, so naturally it is best to lure them to fire more guns.

After doing this several times, the enemy knew that they had been fooled, and they also understood to some extent why Enron did this. It was just to consume their cannons and ammunition. Of course they could not be fooled, so they stopped firing if there was any movement to avoid waste, but Often, An Ran and others really attack at this time, which will cause casualties again. Once the people in the artillery battalion are injured or killed, the losses will be heavy. After all, in this era, not everyone can be an artilleryman, and they need to be trained. , this loss is a heavy loss.

After several repetitions, the people in the artillery camp became as angry as Dong Hanzhang towards An Ran and others.

In the end, the people in the artillery camp were still timid and they did not care about the loss of cannons and shells. Every time they saw some trouble, they continued to bombard them indiscriminately.

An Ran's men saw that the enemy was so easy to be fooled, so they did it more frequently, and the enemies who were lured did not know how many shells and cannons were wasted.

So when we arrived at Dong Hanzhang's land, there were three hundred cannons when we arrived, but now there were only about 240 cannons left. Some had their barrels blown, some were because the people in charge of the cannons were dead, and there were no more people to hold the others. That cannon had no choice but to be thrown away.

Although there were only two hundred and forty cannons left, they were at least more than what Dong Hanzhang had brought with him. Dong Hanzhang thought that before using human lives in a few days, he would first use these cannons to blast them to see if they had any effect.

When Dong Hanzhang saw that everyone had gathered, he mentioned his plan to everyone, and no one objected. They agreed to use big artillery bombardment first, and if it didn't work, they would capture the local people as cannon fodder to attack the city. If the friendly forces were to be used as cannon fodder, Dong Hanzhang would temporarily Not mentioned yet.

As a result, not long after they finished their discussion, they found that all the people nearby had fled. Then they heard that the reason why these people ran away was because Bandit Lu had found someone to inform them, saying that the imperial court wanted to arrest them and use them as cannon fodder for siege. They were scared. They ran away quickly.

In the past, many people were arrested to carry earth to fill the lake, which caused many people to be afraid. Now I heard that they were being dragged into attacking the city as cannon fodder. There was no one who wouldn't run away, and many of them ran into Ping An's territory. , after all, running to other sites cannot guarantee personal safety. Only running to safe sites can be reliable.

Dong Hanzhang was furious when he heard that such a change had occurred before the plan even started. What was even more irritating was that the cannon fodder had now entered the Lu family's territory, which meant that his enemies had increased again.

Speaking of which, this Lu bandit is really different from Li Bandit and other bandits. He actually knows how to fight for public opinion!

He and Fang Guozheng naturally knew the importance of the public opinion war, so before he beat Bandit Li, Fang Guozheng would send out a message, scolding Bandit Li for causing chaos and leaving the whole house empty. After hearing this, people who don't know the truth would think that Bandit Li was not the real one. Good thing, but only they themselves know that the Central Plains is arid. Those people are about to starve to death and can't live anymore. They rebel and rebel because they feel that they are facing death. Even if they don't rebel and rebel, they will still starve to death. Nine rooms were empty, so nine rooms out of ten were not caused by them. In fact, it was caused by the court. After all, who made the court fail to provide disaster relief? It’s just that the truth cannot be told.

But when it comes to attacking the city, the Lu bandits have ruined the plan and let the common people run away. He only has the people who can carry soil to fill the lake, which is not enough.

Moreover, even if it is enough, public opinion outside has begun. If he wants to use those ordinary people as cannon fodder again, his reputation will be stinky, so he cannot use them as cannon fodder, and can only use those reinforcements as cannon fodder.

But that is the second step of the plan. The first step is to blast the cannon first. If the cannon is useful, then there is no need for the cannon fodder siege plan.

The people in the artillery camp had been holding their breath for a long time. When they heard that they were asked to bombard Maple Leaf Fort first, one or two of them expressed their willingness to go. They secretly held their breath, thinking that they must destroy Maple Leaf Fort. Exploded to pieces, revenge for being beaten so many times on the road, for killing so many brothers and for losing so many artillery pieces.

——Obviously, they felt that with so many cannons, it would not be a problem to attack Maple Leaf Fort.

As a result, they were quickly poured cold water on Dong Hanzhang.

"I have something to tell you. The enemy also has artillery, and the range. I checked it, and it is farther than the ones you brought. You must pay attention to your strategy then, otherwise not only will you not be able to hit them, but you will also They will blow it up."

He originally thought that the artillery battalion's cannons were better than his own, but he didn't expect that the range of the guns they came over didn't seem to be any better than Lu Bandit's.
