"What's the use of thinking about this now! Lingzhou can't be lost, we must hold on and wait for reinforcements! Renduo Chuqing yelled in Ye Xiaoma's ear: "I can't go on like this!" Send troops out of the city to fight back! We can't let Hangou continue to bombard like this! ”

Defending the city is the most taboo and boring, and the party members have little experience in defending the city, but they don't even understand this thing.

"Then let's hit Ling Lang first!"

Ye Xiaoma said viciously:

"Let the Han Dog beat the Han Dog first!"

Crashing Linglang is a force composed of Han people living in the jurisdiction of the Xia State, sometimes called the "front army", in the event of a war, they always rush to the front of the Xia army, in order to reduce the casualties of the Xia army, in fact, it is the meat shield force of the party people.

At this time, Renduo Chu Qing and Ye Xiaoma naturally didn't care about how much they would lose if they hit Ling Lang and left the city to force the Chinese artillery position, in fact, they didn't even care if they could succeed in colliding with Ling Lang - they would definitely not succeed anyway.

"It won't take long just to hit Ling Lang." Renduo Chuqing shouted: "Our people have to do it too!" ”

This is going to be the old one.

The reason why Xingling is called Xingling is because the two states of Xingling are very important, and if you lose Lingzhou, Xingling is equivalent to losing half.

For example, it is equivalent to Dabai Gaoguo's heart being cut in half by someone else.

Therefore, unlike those small fortresses in the south, Lingzhou must be defended.

This is known to those with the surname Ye Xiao, the surname Renduo, the surname is not hidden, and the surname Wei is naturally known.

Therefore, Ye Xiaoma and Renduo Chuqing only withdrew to Lingzhou, not directly to Xingqing Mansion. Because the enemy arrived here, Li Qianshun had to fight a decisive battle no matter how unhappy he was.

The soldiers of the famous family will appear sooner or later, but no one knows when it will appear for the time being, and that's it.

……

One of the performance advantages of the newer guns was that they could continue to fire at a faster rate for hours, rather than having to stop to dissipate heat after three or five shots, as was the case with the old guns.

Therefore, the artillery bombardment of the Chinese army seemed to the defending party members to be like a summer thunderstorm without stopping.

In this irresistible rain of fire, the city wall at the south gate of Lingzhou City, the Bubazi on the city tower, and the nearby reserves were all finished, and Ye Xiaoma and Renduo Chuqing's counterattack could only draw troops from other city gates.

At this time, the military discipline of the Xia army was quite good, at least the action of drawing counterattack troops did not consume a lot of time, and soon after making up their minds, a force composed of about 4,000 Linglang went out of the city from the east city (the west of Lingzhou is facing the Yellow River, there is no city gate, and the north gate is too far away), avoiding the front of the Chinese artillery array, trying to attack the flank of the Chinese army.

Immediately behind this cannon fodder army are two thousand seven hundred iron harrier elites.

There were 100,000 Chinese troops outside the city, and no one expected the counterattack troops to hide from the Chinese army to form a sneak attack, so at the same time as the attack, Ye Xiaoma and Renduo Zangqing ordered dozens of signal rockets to be fired into the sky - this is a weapon imitating the Chinese army, in fact, it is a large monkey, which has no lethality, but it is very good as a signal flare - and the technical level is not high, even the party members can learn how to use it.

The actual effect of the signal they sent was to tell the surrounding area that there must be a there, but even they didn't know where they were now, why they didn't come out: "We're going to start counterattacking." ”

What a smart general should do at this time is to cooperate as much as possible, instead of continuing to lurk.

As the leader of the younger generation of Wei Mingjia, Wei Ming Rongli certainly knew what it meant for the Lingzhou defenders to shoot so many signal flares in a panic.

He looked at the colorful fireworks that exploded in the sky in amazement, and said to himself, "Why is this so? How long has it been? ”

As a young clan general, Wei Ming Rongli hated disrespectful old guys like Renduo Zangqing and Ye Xiaoma, but he was still willing to admit the ability of these two old men to command troops to fight - thirty years ago, the two old men had commanded troops to fight against the Zhou people, and later fought the Jin people, and then went to the Western Regions to fight Pars, and often entered the customs to plunder.

After thirty years of war, even the stupidest person should grow into a shrewd general.

What's more, these two old guys who can be the patriarch are not stupid in the first place.

Now they don't care about shooting so many flares into the sky, it can only show that the two old guys really think that the situation is very critical now!

"Your Excellency!" The adjutant general anxiously reminded Wei Ming Rongli: "This situation ......"

"I know."

Wei Mingrongli didn't hesitate any longer, took the reins of the war horse from the attendant, turned over and got on the horse: "Little ones, come with Lao Tzu!" Let's meet those Han dogs! ”

The iron harriers of the two thousand famous masters let out an inhuman howl one after another, and controlled the horses to follow behind the famous Rongli, and swooped towards the ......, not in the direction of the battlefield, but in the rear of the Chinese army.

Wei Mingrongli believes that if Lingzhou's 60,000 soldiers and horses can't resist the Chinese army with the city wall, it doesn't make sense to have so many of their own 2,000 cavalry - Lingzhou's safety still has to rely on themselves and the reinforcements of Xingqing Mansion.

And his task is to attack the supply convoy of the Chinese army and cut off the supply of the Chinese army when the Chinese army is attacking Lingzhou with all its might.

Wei Ming Rongli believes that this is the best way to give full play to the mobility of the two thousand iron harriers, and it can play the role of four or two thousand pounds.

……

If Ye Pola knew the idea of fame and glory, the privy envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom would probably be angry with this clan general.

Because the troops who went out of the city to counterattack were routed by the Chinese army shortly after leaving the city gate.

The Chinese troops blocking the east gate of Lingzhou did not seem to have many troops, just more than 10,000 people, and there were no cannons deployed (all the cannons were at the south gate), and the fortifications were also very simple, only a low earthen wall and a trench that was not too deep.

The former was barely able to defend against crossbow arrows, while the latter was able to withstand the onslaught of cavalry.

It seems that this is not much of a problem, as long as the Chinese army is defeated in foot combat, and after passing through the trench and low wall, you can get on the horse and attack the Chinese army at the south gate.

It seems simple - if it were the Jin army facing such a fortification, they would not think so.

The Chinese position was only 800 steps (1,200 meters) from the east gate of Lingzhou, but the Chinese army had piles of small markers painted with quicklime stones in front of the position 300 steps (450 meters), 250 steps (375 meters), and 200 steps (300 meters).

As soon as the Crash Ling Lang crossed the initial 300-step marker, the Chinese rifle team immediately began firing.

Those markers could solve the problem of ranging the soldiers, and the Chinese infantry with the gauge were able to determine the range of the gauge by looking at the markers, and kill the enemy one by one with more accurate shooting - in this operation, the Chinese army did not use the usual volley of platoon guns in the past, but allowed the soldiers to shoot freely at any target they wanted to attack.

In this kind of shooting, the performance advantage of firing rifled guns and Minne bullets was vividly exerted, and when the ramming Ling Lang crossed the 250-step gauge, the most ordinary Chinese soldiers could exert the same power as a sharpshooter.

No one could even get close to two hundred rulers, and the troops collapsed under the blow of six thousand rifled guns.
