Chapter 274: The Battle of Datong
Wang Pu scolded and retreated left and right, and flicked his cloak again, and his majestic appearance appeared.
"General Yuan Dynasty, the thief army is powerful, how can we resist it, and ask General Yuan Dynasty to make it clear." Although Wang Pu himself is an embroidered pillow, he is not a fool, he knows that the most important thing now is to repel the Jin army and set up a major military industry, not to snatch the command and interfere with the command.
Yuan Chao looked at this Wang Pu and was still very good, and he also felt that this Wang Pu was not useless.
"General Wang, the most important thing at the moment is to unify the command, the provincial military orders are chaotic, and the sergeants don't know what to do." Yuan Chao pointed out this way.
"That's natural, the military order is unified, and the same advance and retreat can break the enemy, I still know this, General Yuan Chao is a general of my dynasty, this combat command, please also ask General Yuan Chao to give the marching order." Wang Pu said naturally.
"Then, the military situation is urgent, and I am duty-bound." Yuan Chao didn't bother to write in this state of emergency, but directly took over the command of the power.
Cao Wenzhao and Fan Guoyan also looked left and right, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the command of the Yuan Dynasty, and they now trusted the Yuan Dynasty very much.
Even Cao Wenzhao, who has always regarded himself very highly, calmly accepted the fact that Yuan Chao was far above him.
Yuan Chao took over the command and began to march the order.
Now Yuan Chao has a lot of cards in his hand.
Don't say anything else, just talk about your own subordinates.
Four thousand birds.
A battalion of 1,000 firearms.
Four thousand foot soldiers.
Five thousand cavalry.
These are very strong Yuan Dynasty's courage.
In addition, there are also Cao Wenzhao's three thousand iron horses.
Fan Guoyan's 4,000 border army foot soldiers.
In addition, let's talk about this Wang Pu's 50,000 horses, even if the combat effectiveness is not good, the number is still very strong.
Yuan Chao was full of confidence.
In fact, Yuan Chao understood it very well in his heart.
This time, the Jin army was so stubborn and held back in the city for several days, they must have thought of some ideas.
However, Yuan Chao was very calm.
Their own strength is strong, no matter how they toss, they are not afraid.
Yuan Chao is most concerned about whether there is an internal response in the city these days, and after secretly checking it, he did not find any risks, so now Yuan Chao is in a constant posture of responding to all changes, and even wants to see what good tricks their Jin army has.
Yuan Chao looked at the large array of the Jin army in front of him expectantly, and then gave an order.
"Order, 4,000 birds, 1,000 firearms battalions, all deployed on the city wall."
"Order, Yuan Xu led the headquarters of 4,000 infantry to all stationed on the city wall."
"Order General Wang Pu to leave 20,000 horses to defend the city, and the remaining men and horses to divide the remaining three city walls."
"Order General Fan Guoyan, all 4,000 men and horses, to stay on the main city wall and set up defenses."
"Order Kong Ergou and General Cao Wenzhao to be stationed under the city gate and wait for military orders." Yuan Chao carried out the military order in one breath.
Wang Pu didn't have any opinions when he heard it, and he also knew that his soldiers and horses were less combative, so he immediately waved his hand and let the extra men and horses garrison those city walls with little defensive pressure.
The other centaurs didn't have any opinions, and quickly arranged the centaurs.
The city wall was quickly arranged, and the elite firearms battalion under Yuan Chao now appeared more calm after several previous battles, and they all looked at the Jin army under the city like hunters.
After the Jin army under the city shot at the position, they also began to prepare siege equipment.
Standing at the forefront of the golden army was the young Dorgon.
The current Dolgon looked at the two banners led by his subordinates, and watched the battle flag hunting, quite high-spirited.
"I've waited for so long, and I've finally waited for the opportunity, this time I must make military achievements and earn enough capital for myself to gain a foothold." Dorgon himself was talking to himself.
Then with a wave of his hand, Dorgon ordered his elaborate shield to be raised.
The two white flags who received the military order came up with heavy shields in a loud voice.
Yes, it was brought up.
These shields, conceived by Dolgon, resemble a huge wooden door that stretches horizontally. A shield can cover about a dozen people with one shot. Because it was too heavy, there were many handrails for the soldiers to carry their shields.
These shields, in a short period of time, the Jin army actually rushed out to build about 500 of them.
Due to the tight schedule, it is conceivable that the quality of the manufacturing can only be said to be average.
When he saw the men and horses of the two white flags majestically carrying out hundreds of large wooden shields, Yuan Chao's hanging heart fell to the ground.
"It turns out that Jin Jun has been doing this for so many days."
"Hehe, it seems that after cutting off those scum like Kong Youde, it is indeed a good blow to the progress of the Jin Army's equipment." Yuan Chao thought secretly in his heart.
However, Yuan Chao did not despise Jin Jun's move too much, after all, it brought a great obstacle to the use of firearms.
"Pass the order, get ready for battle, the bird-gunners must improve the accuracy of their shooting, and the artillery mainly bombards the shields in front."
"In addition, let Wang Pu's men and horses throw more bows and arrows." Yuan Chao arranged the order in no hurry.
The herald was also in a hurry to convey Yuan Chao's instructions.
"Oh God, please give me the strength to have our artillery strike at the traitors who are in order." After receiving the order to strike accurately from the Yuan Dynasty, Ricardo crossed his hand and prayed there devoutly.
Qu Ling, on the other hand, patrolled his soldiers back and forth, loudly announcing Yuan Dynasty's orders to them.
After a brief silence between the two sides, it was the Jin army that suddenly began to attack, breaking the silence on the battlefield.
I saw that after Dolgon got the authorization of Huang Taiji, he couldn't wait to give the order to attack.
The two white flags of the Jin army carried heavy shields one by one and began to march towards the city.
And those soldiers who did not have shields were also heavily armoured, armed with bows and arrows, and followed behind the shields, ready to carry out bow and arrow suppression.
Behind them were Jin soldiers carrying siege ladders.
The two white flags had been broken at the beginning, and now they were carrying shields, which more or less gave them a sense of security and gave them the courage to continue to attack.
They stepped closer to the wall.
Yuan Chao carefully stared at the golden army shield under the city like a city wall.
"The enemy is within range of artillery." The soldier in charge of the observation reported to Yuan Chao.
"Hit." Yuan Chao had just heard the news, and immediately couldn't wait to announce the opening of the cannon.
I just want to be the first to observe the lethal effect of artillery.
Bang
Bang
Bang
The sound of artillery on the city walls suddenly rang out.
Ricardo commanded the gunners to adjust the firing angle early. Therefore, every shell was accurately pounced on the Jin army.
collapse
collapse
collapse
The cannonballs that hit the heavy shield were all loaded with solid bullets, and the power was huge, even if it was a heavy wooden plank, it immediately hit a big hole and knocked down the golden army behind the shield.
Some of the wooden shields were even smashed and split apart on the spot.
"Okay." Yuan Chao looked at the accurate cannonballs, achieved good results, and immediately applauded.
