Liang Chenglei and other generals of the Jingzhou Front Army were very cautious about the battle of the Beijing Division, and various tactical arrangements were also very conservative, but they did not say that as in the past, after breaking through the enemy's outer defense line of the city, they would directly kill the strategic points in the city.

Previously, the Daheng unified army had already used this tactic when attacking some cities, and it was nothing at the beginning, and this way of opening and closing was quite effective, but gradually as the enemy army was also equipped with a large number of rear-loading rifles, with a higher range and rate of fire, plus the enemy began to hide and fight, and slowly began to suffer.

Especially in last year's Zishengzhou Campaign, after the troops successfully conquered the outlying positions of the city, they immediately fled in embarrassment not long after entering the city, and suffered hundreds of casualties in a very short time.

This battle, which seemed to have only a few hundred casualties, directly led to the Daheng Unification Army changing the specific tactics of urban warfare in the follow-up.

They began to be more inclined to take out the main enemy forces on the outskirts of the city.

If you can't take out the enemy's main force in the outlying areas, even if you are forced to fight in the city, you often use heavy artillery bombardment and steady infantry to reduce casualties.

This time to attack the capital area, the same artillery bombardment and infantry steady advance main, even after breaking through the enemy's defense line, do not advance, only gradually advance, using the flexible organizational ability, strength and firepower advantages of their own troops, adopt the mode of encirclement and annihilation in fragments, and finally capture the entire Nancheng District.

The disadvantage of this combat method is also there, that is, it will consume a lot of ammunition, especially the consumption of shells will be very terrifying, but the intensive shelling effect will be very obvious, Blue Star has no reinforced concrete buildings in these years, although the city of Daheng people also likes to use brick and stone buildings, but it is only limited to some important tall buildings, in fact, many residential buildings are wooden houses.

Moreover, in these days, the big cities do not have a huge sewer network, and most of them still rely on canals for drainage, and even if there are sewers, they are still small sewers.

The buildings in such a city actually have limited defensive capabilities, and they will fall with a single shot.

Although the ruins can also be used as cover, the defensive effectiveness of these ruins is not as good as that of trenches and anti-artillery holes in the field!

In addition to the high shell consumption, the estimated propulsion speed will also be relatively slow.

But compared to the huge casualties, Liang Chenglei would rather consume a little more ammunition and advance a little slower, anyway, as long as he fights steadily, the victory will definitely belong to the Daheng Unification Army, he has no need to take risks, and Lin Ziran does not allow him to take risks.

As long as the southern bank of the Jingshi is steadily captured, the victory of the Jingshi Battle can almost be declared, and the remaining urban areas on the north bank are not much of a threat.

The whole Beijing District, inhabited by millions of people, the area of this urban area is very huge, the whole is divided into the inner city, Dongcheng District, South City, Xicheng District, North Bank City, of which the Inner City, Dongcheng District, South City, Xicheng District are all on the south bank of the Jing River, and there is only one north bank urban area on the north bank of the Jing River.

In other words, Jingshi seems to straddle both sides of the Jing River, but in fact, most of the urban areas are on the south bank of the Jing River.

Taking the capital area on the south bank of the Jinghe River means winning most of the Beijing division.

In the south bank of the city, the inner city is not considered to be the most important, this inner city is actually the capital area of 300 years ago, built along the river, with the imperial palace, the major administrative buildings, the residence of the magnates, and the protection of the tall inner city wall.

The southern, eastern, and western districts, although divided, are actually linked, and at the same time, there are no outer walls, only some peripheral defensive facilities, some highland forts and small fortresses.

However, it is estimated that the other party has also renovated these defense facilities early, otherwise, these so-called defense facilities will be finished with one shot.

Today's artillery is much more powerful than the artillery of the smoothbore gun era, especially the 150 mm artillery widely used by the Daheng Unification Army today, which uses a cylindrical projectile body with a large charge, which has a large charge and is more powerful when it explodes.

Not to mention being directly hit by these heavy shells on unprotected targets, even if you hide in a trench, sometimes there will be unlucky people who are shocked to death.

In this case, the Daheng United Army itself knows it, and the opponent also knows it.

You must know that the current Tri-State Coalition Army is also equipped with rear-loading rifled weapons, even if the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau has been captured now, but they are still rushing to produce and equip a large number of rear-loading weapons and ammunition before.

According to estimates, the defenders of the city were equipped with at least 100 breech-loading rifled barreled guns of various types, and there would certainly be no shortage of 150 mm guns among them.

It is because of these rear-loading guns that they boast that they still have the strength to fight, which is why they have not chosen to surrender so far.

Even if the situation is so bad now, they still have their hearts.

And Liang Chenglei is ready to break their illusions!

Relying on a mere city and defeating the remnants of the troops mobilized from everywhere, he wanted to block the pace of the Daheng Unification Army and the pace of his own Jingzhou Front Army, which was simply a joke.

After Liang Chenglei reported on Lin Ziran, he formalized his actions, he wanted to beat them and make them desperate, so that it would be possible to further force them to surrender, so as to quickly end the Jingshi Campaign and avoid delaying here for too long.

To this end, he sent cavalry troops across the Jing River in order to blockade the city on the north bank, and then completely block the complete connection between the Jingshi and the rest of the city.

Because of the existence of the Mirror River, the capital area is divided into the south bank city and the north bank city, and if you want to completely block the capital area, it is not enough to block the south bank city, but also to block the north bank city.

To this end, he sent cavalry and an infantry division across the river to cut off the connection between the city and the rest of the city on the north bank of the Jing River.

The reason why the crossing of the river has been delayed until now is naturally because the naval fleet has not been able to feel it for a long time.

Although many days ago, the main force of the United Army Navy blocked the main force of the combined fleet of the two states at the Quping Naval Base, and then covered the First Artillery Fleet after entering the Jinghe River.

However, when the 1st Artillery Fleet was going up the river, it was still intercepted by the enemy fleet and some batteries along the coast.

After all, the First Fleet, the main fleet of the Daheng Unification Army, and the blocked joint fleet of the two states are just their ocean-going warships, and many inland river warships in Jingzhou will not run to the sea without anything, but they will stay in the Jinghe River.

It was precisely because of the existence of the river fleet on the Jingzhou side that the Second Cavalry Army and other troops that arrived in the early stage could not cross the river in advance.
