Chapter Seventy-Five: Siege and Reinforcements

Ning Yu has fought a few battles so far, but he understands one truth most in his heart, that is, the so-called strategic planning is not a factor that can really determine the outcome of the battle, and there is no opportunity to play so many tricks on the real battlefield, and the real gun-to-gun knife-to-knife is the mainstream.

Therefore, no matter how exquisite the plan he came up with, it still needed to be fought with a knife and a gun in practice, so Ning Yu was ready for a bloody battle. This is not what Ning Yu wants, but there is no choice.

Looking at Daye County, which was not very tall, Ning Yu needed to put some pressure on the other party, and immediately summoned the chief of staff of the division and the two regiment commanders to come over.

"Today's fight is called siege and reinforcements, then this first battle is very important, we must put pressure on them, otherwise this reinforcement will not come so blindly, we must press hard, press them until they are out of breath, and press them to urge the reinforcements to come as soon as possible." Ning Yu said slowly.

"According to the report of the spies, the messenger released in this city has entered Qizhou, and the two main forces of Huangzhou Mansion are the Qizhou Battalion and the Taoist Battalion, the two battalions have a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus there are nearly 7,000 men and horses in this city, and if you defeat these 7,000 people, I can be safe in the southeast for the time being!"

Cheng Zhien frowned slightly, and said: "If they were all veterans, I believe they would be able to fight like this, but now eighty percent of the men and horses of the entire first division are recruits who have never seen blood, will this fight collapse?" ”

This reason is very good, if you want to realize the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, you need to have a group of veterans with strong tactical execution ability, otherwise it is easy to be defeated. This is a real feudal army, and its organizational ability is not something that later generations can imagine, and a slightly more complicated situation will lead to the collapse of the entire war situation.

Dong Ce took a step forward, and at this time, he did not live up to his studies in the Eagle Battalion, and said loudly: "Although our army is mainly recruited, it can fight!" This first battle will be the first of my group! "What is a sharp knife, Dong Ce has always regarded himself as a sharp knife.

Ning Yu also attached great importance to this good student, and immediately said that he would let the artillery fire first, but he couldn't fight too much, after all, this time he still needed to deal with the reinforcements from Huangzhou, so he needed to leave a certain amount of artillery shells for them.

With a burst of cannons, solid bullets flew to the head of Daye County, beating the city wall into dust, and from time to time brought up a few small lives, so that the Qing soldiers on the entire wall were terrified, they wanted to open fire, but found that the two letter cannons on the wall had been exhausted.

This Daye county is not a strong city, so the city walls are rammed with loess, a few cannons down, the city wall will be punched a gap. There were also a few shells that hit the city gate, making a big hole in the wooden city gate, but Xu Mingyuan had already blocked the city gate with stones, which made Ning Yu slightly regretful.

At this time, the city wall was already in a mess, and there were corpses of the Qing army everywhere, Dong Ce took advantage of the undecided heart of the opponent's army, and decisively asked the first battalion to put on bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The battalion commander who led the charge was originally a soldier from the Eagle Battalion, but he was not very old but he was a hard man, and even if he ordered to put on his bayonet, he took two companies of soldiers and carried a few ladders to the city.

Xu Mingyuan saw that the Fu Han army had begun to prepare to attack the city, and immediately ordered the Qing army to prepare to get up to meet the attack, especially the full four hundred shotgunners leaning against the wall, regardless of whether the Fu Han army rushed forward or not, and began to shoot, this old-fashioned bird gun not only has a strange rate of fire, but also has a very close range, probably less than forty steps of lethality, so a round of guns put down, but the soldiers of the Fu Han army on the opposite side are intact.

It wasn't until the soldiers of the Fu Han Army began to build the ladder that the Qing soldiers opened fire in a scattered manner, and after a gunshot, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army fell only a dozen times, and the rest will begin to climb towards the wall, and at this time, the Green Camp shotguns began to retreat to the city.

This scene made Xu Mingyuan dumbfounded, considering that the shotgunmen really had no hand-to-hand combat ability, they had to wave their hands to let the swords and cards in the city prepare for hand-to-hand combat, but this time it made the soldiers of the Fu Han Army almost pay no price, and they were already on the wall.

In the eyes of the Qing soldiers, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army are very good at shooting, but their hand-to-hand combat ability is not necessarily, so they have always had the psychology of contempt, but after they really caught up, they found that the soldiers of the Fu Han Army were more powerful in hand-to-hand combat, and the Qing soldiers and soldiers constantly screamed and fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaowu stood on the wall with a long flintlock pistol at this time, his body was very tall, so he was very advantageous when using a flintlock pistol to stab, and he had stabbed five or six Qing soldiers to death one after another, and the long knives held by those soldiers seemed like a joke to Chen Xiaowuβ€”β€”β€”β€” whether it was cutting or splitting, it was not as fast and fierce as a thorn.

Several Qing soldiers rushed over with long knives, Chen Xiaowu and several soldiers of the Fu Han Army also leveled their bayonets to meet them, but in an instant, three of the Qing soldiers fell, and one of the soldiers of the Fu Han Army also fellβ€”β€”β€”β€” and he was slashed in the chest.

The casualties on the battlefield are such a momentary thing, but from the overall battlefield situation, the Fu Han army has occupied an absolute advantage, under the leadership of the veterans, the recruits of the Fu Han army also quickly adapted to the atmosphere on the battlefield, their faces and bodies are bloody, and they can't tell whether they are their own people or Qing soldiers.

The whole wall is like a huge grinding plate, stirring the soldiers of the Qing army and the soldiers of the Fu Han army together, until they can no longer distinguish each other, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the whole world, as if the whole sky was bloody.

I don't know how long later, the Fu Han army beat the gongs and drums, which on the battlefield means that Mingjin withdraws the troops, and the soldiers slowly retreat from the wall, but in the process the Qing army is really powerless to pursue, in the entire battle for the wall, their casualties are too heavy and too tragic.

Xu Mingyuan's hands trembled, he slowly leaned against the wall with a long knife, in the second half of the battle for the wall, the Qing army was really unable to resist, Xu Mingyuan took his own personal soldiers out of the horse and joined this bloody battle, a full twenty personal guards are now only eight people left, and even Xu Mingyuan's own arm was stabbed.

Looking at the mountains of Qing army corpses piled up on the city wall, many Qing soldiers began to cry loudly, and the cry was as tragic as blood, which made people feel sad.

"General Xu, when will this reinforcement arrive!" An old soldier of the Qing army, who was nearly fifty years old, knelt in front of Xu Mingyuan with a knife, and in the hand-to-hand combat just now, his three sons all died, just to save his old father.

Xu Mingyuan didn't speak, just stared blankly at the sunset in the distance, and muttered, "Yes, when will this reinforcement arrive?" ”
