Chapter 928: The Decisive Battle of Panama (3)
Yan Yingyuan put down the binoculars, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, it seemed that he had already thought about the way to attack.
"Let the generals come to me!" Yan Yingyuan said to the herald beside him.
After a while, all the generals above the legion came to Yan Yingyuan.
Yan Yingyuan said the strategic attack method he had come up with.
The method is very simple, that is, the central flowering strategy, in one fell swoop, to defeat the entire five-nation alliance group in and outside Panama City, to capture Panama City strongly, and to completely annihilate the five-nation alliance group, and achieve a complete victory in the war.
The so-called strategy of flowering in the center is to give up the formation of cavalry, except for the artillery battalion and a part of the soldiers guarding the artillery battalion and war horses, send all the remaining soldiers to attack Panama City in a straight line, and capture Panama City strongly, and then take Panama City as the center, divide the troops and then go out of Panama City, bloom on all sides, like four sharp swords, quickly break through the entire defense group of the five-nation alliance established outside Panama City, and finally achieve the goal of defeating the five-nation alliance and winning the Panama campaign.
"Marshal is clever! In this way, the barbarian alliance of the five countries can be defeated as quickly as possible! Feng Houdun and the rest of the Ming generals agreed with Yan Yingyuan's strategy.
The strategy for the flowering of the center was immediately determined.
"All the horses are left, the artillery battalion and other total 7,000 soldiers are left, and the rest of the soldiers are ready to attack Panama City in a straight line, and the center is blooming!"
With Yan Yingyuan's order, the original more than 20,000 Ming cavalry all dismounted and reorganized into infantry.
The artillery battalion is built on the spot, and the artillery of the Five Nations Alliance Army cannot hit the current place where the Ming Army is currently located, but this does not mean that the artillery of the Ming Army cannot hit the defensive position of the Five Nations Alliance Army, you must know that the field artillery of the Ming Army has a range of 3,000 meters.
Although each army of the Ming army has 100 field cannons, and the Ming army that landed on the American continent has more than seven armies and more than 700 cannons, but more Ming troops have to stay in various captured areas, and the Ming army that attacked Panama City is only 40,000 people, so even if the Ming army can concentrate the artillery of the remaining army, it can only bring 300 cannons at most, which is also the limit of the artillery battalion cannons that the 40,000 army can equip with, after all, the cannon needs to consume a lot of shells, and the more cannons you bring, the more shells you need to carry, the weight is unbearable.
However, three hundred cannons are also completely sufficient!
Soon, all the 300 cannons brought by the Ming artillery battalion were prepared.
"Bang!" Shells into the chamber.
"Fire!"
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ----"
The shells crossed a distance of 3,000 meters and landed in the defensive positions of the Five Nations Coalition outside the west of Panama City.
The powerful artillery fire suddenly turned a large area of the defense of the Five-Nation Alliance into a sea of fire, shrapnel and blazing waves, and flying dirt and gravel, killing and injuring a large number of surrounding Five-Nation Coalition soldiers, so that these Five-Nation Coalition soldiers could not gather together to form their three-stage attack dense formation.
The soldiers of the Five-Nation Alliance, who could not form a three-stage strike dense formation, actually did not have much combat effectiveness at all.
On the wall of the west gate of Panama City, Duke William and many generals of the Five Nations Alliance stood here with binoculars to observe the place bombarded by the Ming artillery, although the Ming artillery could not bombard Panama City, but seeing the coalition soldiers in the defensive position outside the city in front of them being bombarded by such powerful artillery fire of the Ming army, watching one soldier after another being killed under the artillery fire of the Ming army, and seeing that the dense formation of the three-stage attack could not be formed, the faces of Duke William and others were not good-looking.
"Attack!" At this time, Yan Yingyuan began to order the Ming soldiers to attack.
The 33,000 Ming infantry, with rifles or machine guns, quickly moved forward to attack, because the Ming army used rifles and machine guns, and did not need a dense formation to play a dense firepower network, so when the Ming soldiers attacked, they did not need to form any formation.
On the side of the Five-Nation Alliance, Duke William saw the attack of the Ming soldiers through a telescope.
"The Ming army has already begun to attack us, immediately let our artillery prepare and bombard the Ming army!" Duke William ordered.
The Ming soldiers attacked quickly, and in a short time they were within a kilometer of the positions of the Five Nations Alliance.
"Boom! Rumble! The artillery of the Five-Nation Alliance also began to fire at the attacking Ming soldiers.
Although the artillery of the Five-Nation Alliance was not as powerful as the field artillery of the Ming army, and many of the bullets fired were solid, they were still able to kill many attacking Ming soldiers.
Rumble! A flowering bomb blew up four attacking Ming soldiers, and from another perspective, a solid bullet also hit the body of a Ming soldier, tearing the body of the Ming soldier apart, and after penetrating the body of the Ming soldier, it injured the other two Ming soldiers behind.
The artillery of the Five-Nation Coalition Army is distributed in the defensive positions of Panama City in all directions, and the Ming Army attacks from the west, and the artillery of the Five-Nation Coalition Army deployed here is about 220 cannons, that is, 220 shells, although not every shell can blow up the Ming soldiers, but there are also more than 200 Ming soldiers who were killed or injured in the shelling.
Once the cannon was fired, the positions of the 220 coalition artillery pieces were all exposed.
"Boom! Rumble! "Boom" was immediately retaliated against by the artillery of the Ming army.
Under the continuous bombardment of the Ming artillery, almost instantly, the 220 artillery pieces of the Five Nations Alliance were destroyed, and they could not continue to bombard the attacking Ming soldiers.
"Damn!" More than 200 cannons on the target side were blown up in an instant, and Duke William and other generals of the Five Nations Alliance were so angry that their faces turned blue.
Although this is only a part of all their artillery, it is extremely uncomfortable for them to be destroyed by the Ming army's artillery so easily.
The Ming soldiers on the offensive are getting closer and closer, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, four hundred meters
After the more than 200 artillery pieces of the Five Nations Coalition Army were destroyed, the Ming artillery continued to bombard the defensive positions of the Five Nations Alliance within the firing range, and the powerful artillery fire continued to be maintained, making it impossible for the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance to form a three-stage dense formation.
Four hundred meters is already the lethal range of the Ming army's rifles and machine guns.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! "The flying bullets killed many of the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance in the positions, and the bullets continued to become more and more dense as the Ming army attacked closer and closer.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! "More than 100 soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance were killed by bullets.
The dense flying bullets and the continuous artillery fire overwhelmed the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance in the defensive positions of the Five Nations Alliance, and they could not raise their heads.
When the Ming army rushed to a distance of 100 meters, finally the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance in the defense raised their flintlock pistols in their hands and prepared to counterattack, but unfortunately they raised their flintlock pistols to aim at the same time, they also exposed their bodies, when even a large number of coalition soldiers were shot by bullets.
