Chapter 310: Infantry Coordination
In the artillery camp, the 500 young artillerymen who did not fire a single shot were all dejected.
There are nearly 600 instructors and veteran gunners here, and it is not necessary to operate 12 field six-pounder guns.
The reason why the artillery was dispatched was because of the rare opportunity to teach in real combat.
The young artillerymen dismantled, unloaded and loaded the cannons, unloaded and assembled the vehicles from the ship, and then transferred them to the outside of Zhenhai Gate in Fuzhou to establish an artillery position.
They completed all these procedures remarkably, and when they were about to load the cannon, they found that they could not do so, because it was unknown whether they could hit Jiannu with one shot, and they would hit the robe nine times out of ten.
All the hard work was in vain, which of course caused the teenagers to be extremely frustrated, and even the four Franc Machine instructors felt extremely regretful.
On the afternoon of the third day, the artillery finally received a new order, and early tomorrow morning, all of them would advance to the southwest, and there would be a small city with a circumference of more than one mile 50 miles southwest of Fuzhou, and the Jin army would be holding on to it.
The name of this small city is Yangguan Fort, which is a stone city that is relatively strong, so there are more than 100 garrisons in Jiannu all year round, and now it is estimated that the whole people have been mobilized, and the number of people participating in the defense of the city is close to 400.
Wang Zhicheng, a thousand-household official, found the pure military fortress of Yangguanbao City when he took two hundred cavalry to clear the villages and towns of Jiannu, and he did not launch an attack, and reported to the main general after careful reconnaissance.
Huang Han learned that there were not many Han people in Yangguan Fort, so in order to give the artillery a chance to practice and to exercise the young soldiers' ability to attack fortifications, this time the plan was to carry out offensive and defensive battles with infantry and artillery, and the young soldiers would be the main attackers.
The chief general who is responsible for taking Yangguan Fort is Song Pengfei, he has personally observed the terrain, Yangguan Fort is less than 0.1 square kilometers according to the current unit of measurement, the circumference of the city wall is only more than 800 meters, and there are only two gates in the north and south.
There are no Hongyi cannons in this small city, and there are no Franco cannons, there should be more than a dozen guns, but I don't know if Jiannu will make it.
Song Pengfei decided to encircle and annihilate Jiannu, and at noon the next day, the two general young gunners and the two hundred chief spearmen, sword and shield infantry, plus the two hundred general cavalry led by Wang Zhicheng marched in two directions, approaching the south and north gates respectively and forming a formation at a distance of 300 paces.
Song Pengfei knew that it was completely possible to use the Mini gun to cover the sword and shield men to climb the ladder to capture the city, but in order to train the artillery and reduce the casualties of the cold-weapon infantry, he still chose to try the infantry and artillery coordination tactics to break the city.
The artillerymen, who had finally been given the opportunity to fight, approached the city of Yangguanbao and set up an artillery position at a distance of about 400 paces, and the shelling began a quarter of an hour later.
The power of the solid bullet was not very good, but Yangguanbao was a stone city, and the cannonballs hit the battlements and fell on the road would be smashed into a mess of stones.
Jiannu, who was lucky enough not to be hit by the stones, found that there was no hiding place at the head of the city, because even after hiding in the battlements, he would be killed by the flying stones thrown by the cannonballs that fell nearby.
The head of the city can't even stand, how can this city be defended?
After six rounds of sixteen rounds of sixteen cannons, the young infantry advanced in formation, and when they approached a hundred paces, they found that the Ming artillery bombardment had stopped, and there were Jiannu probes at the head of the city.
Song Pengfei gave the order, "The first column of guns, aim, and all continue to move forward." When the array advanced another twenty steps or so, Song Pengfei said loudly: "The first column fires!" ”
A moment later, in the "Second Column Fire, Third Column Fire!" In the sound of the password, there were no living people in the head of Yangguan Fort.
The infantry musketeers fired three volleys as they advanced, and the infantry was able to reload and fire without disturbing their movements.
There are only two gates in this city, all of which are blocked by Jiannu who is ready to hold on, Jiannu did not expect the artillery fire of the Ming army to be so fierce, and Jiannu has been killed and wounded after suffering six rounds of artillery bombardment near the north gate.
Now they have been swept away three times by a total of more than 300 bird guns and flintlock pistols, and no one on the northern city wall dares to show their heads.
Of course, some of the Houjin troops lying on the horse road behind the battlement did not want to live and die with the city, they were not ready to resist, but crawled along the horse road, crawling under the city wall, and they were ready to take their horses and escape.
With the army labor carrying the ladder to run up, in fact, the city wall has been riddled with holes, many places do not need the ladder to climb up, after a while the Ming army invaded the city of Yangguanbao.
Song Pengfei led dozens of Minnie gun shooters around the city to guard, the range of Minny guns was enough to cover the entire city, and they found that there were dozens of Jiannu at the south gate moving stones and sandbags blocking the city gate hole.
Where would Jiannu think that they were moving things in the south gate of the city gate, and the Ming army who appeared at the head of the north gate could directly kill them, and the Jiannu who were ready to open the south gate and escape in the sound of gunfire were killed, and some of them were lucky enough not to be hit and quickly hid in the alley.
At this time, Fang Liandong entered the city with a sword and shield hand, he signaled to Song Pengfei and then marched in formation, and Song Pengfei immediately sent thirty Minnie gun shooters to the upper room to escort the cold-weapon infantry.
Not long after, the Jiannu in the entire city were slaughtered, and less than 200 Han people were rescued, of which dozens were injured lightly, and the medical soldiers were already carrying out emergency treatment.
————
The emperor in the Forbidden City was particularly depressed during this time, his sleep quality was very poor, and he was constantly awakened by nightmares.
It has passed the second watch, and the extremely diligent Chongzhen is still tirelessly reviewing the recital under the flickering candlelight, he feels exhausted, and he always has a bad premonition.
The emperor couldn't help but put down his pen and looked out the window at the night sky.
Can the Ming army send 40,000 or 50,000 horses to relieve the siege of Dalinghe City? Why was Governor Sun, who was trying his best to advocate the construction of this city, helpless when Jiannu really sent troops to attack?
Will it be self-defeating for the "Red Banner Army" to raid the southern four guards with only a few thousand men?
After thinking about it, Chongzhen was already complaining about Sun Chengzong in his heart, the imperial court was in financial difficulties, and Inspector Sun not only failed to cut some Liao salaries as the emperor hoped, but also asked for more money to rebuild Dalinghe City.
The Dalinghe City, which was built by the imperial court with food and clothing, gritted its teeth, now has to be rescued by the imperial court.
At this time, Chongzhen had already regretted not being at the beginning, why didn't he summon Huang Han to the platform in time to ask about the plan? Why do you want to keep Huang Han's recital? Why did you ignore the opposition of Huang Han, Zheng Guochang, Liu Zhilun and others, and agree to rebuild Dalinghe City?
Thinking of the end, Chongzhen, who has always disliked to review his likes to find scapegoats, came to the conclusion that Inspector Sun is afraid that he is old, and he will make frequent faint moves, and it seems that it is useless to keep him, and it is time for him to go home and recuperate.
Chongzhen really likes to shirk responsibility, and the last words left when he was martyred also include "However, all the ministers are mistaken." This sentence, but he doesn't think that he is an inferior emperor.
