"Your Majesty, the time is coming soon."

Li Dingguo came to Zhu Youxiao's side without delay and reminded him.

"Hmm."

Zhu Youxiao still didn't look back, looking motionlessly at the Zhangjiakou City entrenched on the edge of the winding Great Wall in front of him.

In the faint morning light, the faintly visible Zhangjiakou City in front of it, faintly heard the cries of cattle, horses, chickens, sheep and other livestock and poultry.

Zhangjiakou is divided into two forts, now because it is the largest export gate of the Ming Empire, the business is very prosperous, but its upper and lower forts are still two relatively independent castles.

The distance between the two forts is about six or seven miles, and it is divided into two by a seasonal river called the Xisha River.

During the Jiajing period, Zhang Zhen, the general of the Ming Empire, opened a gate on the north wall of this section of the Great Wall, the north gate of the oar, because the door is like a mouth, and it was built by Zhang Zhen, so it is called "Zhangjiakou".

When the first light in the sky shone on the sky above Zhangjiakou City, Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned around and said to Li Dingguo.

"This raid battle is still under your command, presumably the raid battle, you have a lot of experience."

Zhu Youxiao is not a beard.

Since the successful round of surprise attacks by the soldiers of the Guards in the Liaoshen Great Plain destroyed the Dolgon, who had 50,000 elite cavalry in hand, and almost completely annihilated the people, Li Dingguo began to have a soft spot for surprise attacks.

In the past two months, he has spent a lot of effort to perfect the tactics of the raid in his heart.

In the current Ming Empire, there is no one else who has the most profound understanding of the two major strategies and tactics of raid warfare and guerrilla warfare.

"Yes!"

Li Dingguo gave a military salute, turned around and strode away.

A moment later, he stood in front of the 6,000 cavalry brigade and waved his hand at the heralds!

Several heralds immediately scattered in all directions, and quietly issued the order for the general attack to the whole army.

At this time, the officers and men of the 101st Division of the Guards Army had been divided into five routes.

All the way, 6,000 cavalry soldiers, led by Li Dingguo, took the lead in rushing into Zheng, Zhangjiakou City

The remaining four brigade officers and soldiers, in an open fan-shaped military formation, surrounded and advanced towards Zhangjiakou City.

Of course, before the army launched a charge, it was still Tian Yuantao, the commander of the artillery brigade, who led the artillery battalion to smash the gates of the two big castles in Zhangjiakou first.

Anyway, after this battle, the entire Zhangjiakou City will be rebuilt and rebuilt into a super large fortress city that is not inferior to Shanhaiguan

Therefore, even if all the gate areas of this Zhangjiakou City are destroyed, it doesn't matter, as long as the materials inside are not destroyed

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" ……

After a while, the "rumbling" cannon roared!

Dozens of cannonballs fell at the gates of the upper and lower castles of this Zhangjiakou in an instant!

The powerful flowering bomb exploded intensively, easily lifting the two ordinary city gates, and then throwing fragments in all directions!

The roar of the cannon is the general attack order of the army.

When the sound of artillery began for a while and had not stopped, Li Dingguo calculated the time and knew that the time for the charge had come!

"Charge! Come with me and take these two castles in one fell swoop! ”

Li Dingguo was the first to test the greatest essence of the Emperor's surprise warfare: infantry and artillery coordination.

The coordination of infantry and artillery has high requirements for the soldiers, and it is necessary to strictly grasp the time and speed of the charge

If the soldiers charge early, they will let their own soldiers be accidentally injured by their own artillery fire.

If the charge is late, the enemy who is bombarded by the surprise attack will react and organize a defense, which will make it more difficult for your side to defeat the enemy army and increase the casualties of your own soldiers.

Therefore, the coordination of infantry and artillery can only be done in an orderly manner, without moving like a mountain, and moving like a thunderbolt.

In the roar of the cannons, the soldiers vaguely saw that there was chaos among the two big castles in Zhangjiakou City.

As Li Dingguo rode his big black horse and charged forward, from the periphery of Zhangjiakou City, dense guards and soldiers emerged, rushing towards the castle in front of him like a tide!

Because the two large castles are not far apart, the city gates have been blown up, and after the cannonfire stopped for a while, the soldiers poured into the city of Zhangjiakou very smoothly

According to the battle plan, the soldiers of the Guards immediately divided into teams of 1,000 people and swept towards the four sides of the castle!

Facts have proved that when the enemy is defenseless, the surprise attack effect of Li Dingguo's infantry and artillery coordination is much better than the battle of the Liaoshen Great Plain.

After a while, most of the strategic points and key targets were controlled by a group of black-clad and black-armored soldiers.

Any enemy with a weapon in his hand was mercilessly shot and slashed to the ground.

Warehouses, government offices, school grounds, barracks, and various luxurious mansions......

These key targets were all quickly occupied and controlled by the soldiers.

Then, the soldiers who had mastered these goals continued to divide into teams of 100 people and headed towards the big shops in the four places.

Time gradually passed, and all the big shops in Zhangjiakou City were also occupied by the soldiers, and those militants such as family members and dead soldiers were all cleaned up and shot by everyone, and no one was left.

Although this Zhangjiakou City looks quite large, with a lot of shops and warehouses, in fact, there are very few defenders here, and most of the people who resist are family guards, foreign spies, merchants, and the like.

This kind of rabble, when surrounded and killed by the elite regular army, could not turn up the slightest wave, and they were all killed on the spot by the soldiers with expressionless faces.

In less than an hour, the shouting and killing of the entire Zhangjiakou City has completely subsided, and these two big castles are fully controlled by the soldiers of the 101st Division of the Guards Scouts.

However, this is only the beginning, with the order of Zhu Youxiao, who had just entered the city, the huge work of raiding the family and exterminating the clan officially began!

The doors of the big shops were broken open, and some of the people who resisted were killed on the spot by the soldiers without saying a word.

All the people were driven out of the mausoleums, houses, warehouses and other places, and were driven by a group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers to gather Zheng in the Daxiao field

Because the personnel here are too complicated, the Mongols, the Later Jin Tartars, and the merchants of the Ming Empire with accents in various places in the north, east, and west are all Sakura

Therefore, the way to deal with it was different from usual was ordered by Li Dingguo:

Separate people with various accents, those Mongols and Houjin Tartars, all tied up and separated.

The leaders of the various Shang Rao shopkeepers were the same, they were all tied up and screened and interrogated separately.

The other men, maids, grooms, etc., were detained in the four sides of the campus according to the local accent.

Even the common people were gathered together and guarded by a heavily armed thousand-man squad.

In this era, few businessmen and men who do business in Zhangjiakou are innocent.

They all directly or indirectly betrayed a large number of interests of the Ming Empire, and provided a large number of materials and products for the rise of the Mongol tribes and the Later Golden Tartars.

fattened the people and suffered the Ming Empire.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and a general of the 101st Division came to report that all corrupt officials, unscrupulous businessmen, local tyrants and inferior gentry had been detained and quarantined.

The work of raiding the house is not yet halfway through!

This is still the case when all the 30,000 soldiers of the 101st Division, most of the soldiers and nearly 10,000 CIA personnel have joined in.

"These Rao family backgrounds are also too much, it is estimated that we have surrounded this Zhangjiakou City before, these damn guys, there is no way to run away with the transfer of family property, and we will catch them all."

The 30,000 soldiers, plus more than 10,000 CIA personnel who were responsible for counting and making books, and so many people acted together, and they actually had to carry out the work of raiding their homes for so long, which gave Zhu Youxiao a new understanding of the rich people of this era.

He couldn't help but look forward to seeing how much grain and treasures he could get after raiding the entire Great Northwest Region.
