Chapter 41: The Battle for Da Xian Mountain

"Okay." Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I will lead people to attack this bone of Da Xian Mountain." ”

This sentence is easy to say, but in fact, with Zhang Xuan's experience, he knows how many lives are filled in this sentence.

However, there are some things that can be said to be inadmissible, Zhang Xuan is in this position, this difficult situation, he is not on anyone, and the situation in Xiangyang City is already complicated.

Zhang Xuan doesn't lead by example, expecting others to work hard for him?

"I'm attacking the mountain, who will intercept the Dongyu?" Zhang Xuan said, with a hint of madness in his eyes.

Zhang Xuan walked all the way, between life and death, he didn't know how many reincarnations he had passed, maybe he hadn't felt it himself.

At this moment, the tyrannical aura in his tone was almost capable of killing.

"I'll come." Liu Fangliang said: "I'm here to block the reinforcements of Dongyu. ”

There is nothing fancy about attacking the mountain. However, one army blocked the Qing army, and the other attacked the mountain.

Nothing new can be played.

Zhang Xuan looked at Liu Fangliang and said, "Just ask General Liu." ”

Liu Fangliang arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured General Zhang, there is a day when Liu Mou, Dongyu will not be able to interfere with the general's attack on the mountain, I only hope that General Zhang will know that the camp has fallen to this point, and the time is also fate, it is not that there are no good men in the camp." ”

What did Li Guoben want to say? sighed slightly, just to break into the camp as a good man, Li Guo decided to fight these five words.

He must not be disgraced.

After the parties agreed. Zhang Xuan began to arrange in detail.

Although tactically, it is very simple. But Zhang Xuan was not ready to do it so simply, he spent a night arranging and made the following arrangements, first ordering Zhou Fuchen to attack, blockade the Han River, and break all the arrangements of the Qing army on the Han River.

Although the battlefield was in Xiangyang, Hanshui was the key to the battle of Xiangyang.

No matter how careless Duoduo is, he will not give up on landing on the Han River.

It's just that the Qing army is all northerners. There are no genes at all above the water master, and after so many days of busyness, it is just a few pontoon bridges on the Han River. Even a small fleet of boats was formed.

But Duoduo knew very well that this sailor was simply not enough to compete with the sailor of the Xia army. Therefore, the task he gave to this sailor was also very simple, to maintain the smooth flow of information on both sides of the Han River. Even after Azig gave up Zaoyang and went west. The task of this sailor division also has an Azig mission.

And that's about it.

And Zhou Fuchen's task is not to destroy the Qing army's naval division.

It is to maintain the uninterrupted connection between Xiangyang City and Yicheng. After all, the center of the war was above Xiangyang City, and there were many sections of the upper reaches of the Han River, and it was very easy to build a pontoon bridge.

Even if it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. It's just in vain.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan couldn't care about this, but vigorously urged Zhou Fuchen and Zheng Tai to attack with all their might. Attack all the targets that can be attacked along the river, and even let Zheng Tai use their old tricks to harass the Qing army. Even though the Qing army had sufficient troops. But on the banks of the river for tens of miles, there are always weak points.

Zhang Xuan didn't think about any big gains. It was just to contain the energy of the Qing army. Zhang Xuan felt the need to do so. Even if it is necessary to clean up the forces of the Qing army on the Han River.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan also notified Cao Zongyu and asked Cao Zongyu to approach Azig, at least so that Azig could not spare energy to do anything else.

If you only look at these places, it seems that the Xia army is counterattacking.

But a dull cannon sound rang out, and a cannonball hit the city of Xiangyang from the top of Da Hyun Mountain in the distance.

Directly smashed into a private house, it seemed to hit the sorghum with a single shot. The weighing structure of this private house is on a single sorghum, and the sorghum is interrupted by a cannon, and the whole house is naturally scattered all over the place. A puff of smoke and dust kicked up.

The people of Xiangyang City were like frightened birds, and they suddenly became chaotic.

Although the fight was very fierce before, it was all outside the city, and what the people of Xiangyang City felt was only the sound of shouting and killing, as well as the continuous flow of wounded people from outside the city, as well as martial law in the city, and the price of rice soared.

Although there is no shortage of food for the Xia army, but when it comes to war, the more food the better, although Yang Chengzu released some grain to calm the price of grain. However, the war itself caused fluctuations in the price of grain among the people.

However, after a long time, the price of grain among the people has gradually stabilized, and the people seem to have adapted to this atmosphere.

It's just that today's cannon immediately let the people in the city know what the atmosphere of the battlefield is.

Zhang Xuan suddenly came out of the yard, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance from a distance, and he was already crying.

Zhang Xuan's heart sank, this cannon illustrated a problem, that is, the artillery team of the Qing army finally camped on the top of Da Xian Mountain.

And the attack on Da Hyeonsan must be advanced.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered, and all the troops were dispatched, and the entire Xiangyang City was boiling.

And every move was seen by the top of Da Hyeon.

Kong Youde stood on top of a boulder, and behind him were dozens of cannons that had been placed.

Because there is less open space on the mountain, but there is less large area of flat land, so the cannon is several, or one, or two of them.

It looks like it's stacked on top of each other, as if it's a terrace, and artillery is placed in echelons on the mountain.

Kong Youde is now in his forties, although he is a little weathered, but he is also a general, the most experienced and energetic.

He carefully observed the landing point of the cannon and said, "It's high." Let the brothers lower a little. ”

"Yes." Someone immediately arranged to reorient the muzzle.

Kong Youde understands very well that his most important mission now is nothing else. Instead, it broke through the walls of Xiangyang City.

After all, bombarding the city, although it will cause panic among the people of Xiangyang, will not help the war, only to blast the city wall is the most important thing.

This cannon sound was not only heard in Zhang Xuan's ears, but also in Duoduo's ears.

Behind Duoduo, a banner was hoisted high, and the cavalry was already in full array.

Not only the Eight Banners Department, but also the soldiers of all the departments have been ready for battle. Duoduo deduced that Xia Jun's reaction was also simple.

Or retake Da Hyeon.

At this time, he was to prevent the Xia army from retaking Da Xian Mountain.

As for the Xia army not to do this, it is best that Duoduo will wait for four or five days, or ten days at most, to collapse the city wall, and then the army will rush up and break through the city. Or start an offensive and defensive battle of the city.

As Duoduo expected. However, after a while, someone came to report: "The south gate and west gate of Xiangyang are all opened, and the Xia army is out of the city." ”

Dodor said to the left and right, "Cheer up the people below." It's going to be fought. ”

Looking down from the sky, you will see that the movement of Xia Jun's dispatch this time is much bigger than the last time.

If the last time was just a rehearsal, the current battle is a decisive battle, and only one or two thousand horses are left in Xiangyang City, almost the entire army is dispatched.

In the battle between the two sides, the cavalry first covered the battlefield.

It's just that both sides are poised to attack, and under the confrontation of large groups of men and horses, coupled with the fact that the battlefield is between Da Xian Mountain and Hanshui, there is no too broad detour space, and this kind of small-scale engagement is not tragic.

There are even few people fighting with each other, and everyone is just confronting each other as the eyes of the army, at a distance of more than 100 meters. Occasionally, there are some fights. Most of the time, it's a standoff.

Liu Fangliang commanded tens of thousands of soldiers who broke into the camp, which was really the last bit of the camp team.

On this side, the lying horse and the bow are ready to go, and over there, in the sound of cannons, Zhang Xuan urged the various departments to carry out the mountain attack operation.

On the top of Da Xian Mountain, the density of artillery fire is very high, and Kong Youde was in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relying on the artillery methods learned by Sun Yuanhua in those years, and gained a foothold in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Kong Youde also had a group of Dongjiang soldiers in his hands, all of whom were strong men who lived under the pursuit of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. are also ruthless characters. In addition, Kong Youde had a group of gunners trained by the Portuguese in his hands.

For artillery, it is an expert.

In addition, all the way south, the number of Hongyi artillery is not much, but the number of other types of artillery is quite large.

The dense artillery, coupled with thousands of elite men, can be said to be solid and unshakable.

In addition, Kong Youde had already prepared, although the offensive of the Xia army was very fierce, it was like a wave hitting the coast, and a dismount came.
