(Thanks to new and old book friends for their recommendation votes and tips)
This second miss Zhang and that Wang Sihua's tender and sweet looks, Xie Bao saw it early in the morning. So what he thought in his heart, he didn't dare to say it to this Second Miss Zhang. Who knows how much better they are now?
Seeing that he was guarding himself, Zhang Ziyun said with a smile: "Please believe Sihua!" With that, he returned to the command vehicle.
She believed in Wang Yue and knew that Wang Yue was very ambitious, but his ambition was different from others.
The scene of a Jiala being slaughtered was clearly seen by the Qing army scouts, and Azig listened to the return of the scouts, and said in his heart: It's broken! What Abatai said is true, I was careless!
Then he changed his strategy.
Wang Yue's regimental training troops continued to advance rapidly towards Miyun, and then he encountered the biggest trouble since the dispatch of his troops. Hearing the report, Wang Yue, Wang Zhuo, and Li Zixiong all climbed onto the roof of the command car and used binoculars to observe ahead.
"This, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand people, right?" Li Zixiong asked in surprise.
"I estimate that there are at least 70,000, and this is probably the people who were taken captive. We're in trouble! Wang Zhuo guessed
Wang Yue immediately said to Zhang Ziyun under the car: "Quick, order the fire truck to raise the fire ladder, and the artillery watch the ladder!" ”
Zhang Ziyun also knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately conveyed the order.
Wang Yue saw that the fire ladder had been raised, so he ran to the fire truck. He quickly climbed to the top and took a telescope to take a closer look.
I saw that the people who were all over the mountains and fields a kilometer away were driven by the Qing army and slowly surrounded them, and some of the people who walked slowly were cut down to the ground by the Qing soldiers.
The crowd of the common people was two miles thick and five or six miles wide, and there were about 20,000 Qing troops behind them. Miyun City in the rear of the Qing army was filled with gunsmoke, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the sound of artillery could be faintly heard, indicating that it had not yet fallen.
Zhang Ziyun has climbed the fire ladder a lot now, and it seems that he has no fear of heights, and he has adapted to this height.
"What should I do?" Zhang Ziyun's voice was anxious, so many people were caught between the two armies, it was really a headache.
This was Azig's strategy, he felt that Abatai had forgotten the people who had taken him captive, and that the shields for these activities were better than Abatai's tactics, and that once the army had been pasted with the people, wouldn't the enemy have left him to slaughter?
He had already figured out that if the enemy army killed these people, he would be able to consume their lead. If the enemy commander is merciful, hehe, then don't blame me for being unkind.
"Order, the artillery used eight mortars to open a barrage 400 meters wide 500 meters in front of our troops, to frighten the civilians and prevent them from rushing from the middle." Seeing that the people had advanced a few hundred meters, Wang Yue ordered.
"Order Gu Xiuquan to shout to them, as follows: Ordinary people, please walk away from both sides, if anyone rushes over from the front, be careful that our artillery shells don't look long!" Wang Yue continued to issue orders.
Zhang Ziyun listened to what he said vividly, and couldn't help it: "Poof! A laugh broke out.
"Seriously, it's war!" Wang Yue said with a straight face.
"Oh!" Zhang Ziyun obediently issued an order immediately.
With the order issued, the artillery shells fell one after another 500 meters in front of the regimental training unit, forming a barrage about 400 meters wide.
This frightened the people who were walking here, and then they heard the shouts from the other side, and immediately ran to both sides crying and crying.
Azig didn't expect that the other party would have a big killer weapon like a loudspeaker. When he saw the barrage, he knew that this trick was not fun, so he ordered the Qing army to outflank it from both sides as much as possible.
Wang Yue saw clearly from the fire ladder, and then ordered: "The Qing army behind the target people, open fire!" ”
As the order was given, all the remaining mortars opened fire one after another.
The distance between the Qing army behind the people was about two kilometers, which was not too difficult for the artillery, and the Qing army was relatively dense, as the shells continued to fall, the Qing army immediately turned on their backs.
"Shhh Azig was shocked. With such a long range, such power, and such accuracy, and so dense shells, it is no wonder that Abatai will be defeated. With so many shells falling, any army will collapse.
He had never seen a 120 mortar or a 155 howitzer, but the power of the Type 93 60 mortar was indeed greater than that of the flowering bombs of this era. Besides, the people of this era have not yet fallen down, and the consciousness of crawling forward and the neat formation have become the best goals.
Wang Yue felt that the power of the 60 cannon was about to be compromised, and the only advantage was that it was lightweight.
The sound of explosions in the distance was heard on the city walls.
"Master Cheng, there seems to be a fight behind Jiannu." Jiang Guixian arrived excitedly.
Cheng Minghao, whose throat was already hoarse and was about to fall into despair, asked in surprise: "Is this true?" ”
"It's true, I don't know how dense the shelling was. You can see the flames of the explosion in the distance! Jiang Gui shouted as he spoke.
Cheng Minghao got up from the ground with a grunt, listened and watched carefully, heard it but couldn't see clearly, and there was no way to be short-sighted after reading too many books.
He shouted excitedly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, coming from behind Jiannu!" ”
Repelled several attacks by the Qing army, with nearly half of the dead and wounded, and the exhausted defenders heard Cheng Minghao's shouts. At first, I didn't believe it, thinking that Master Cheng was asking them to muster up the last courage and fight with the Qing army.
Then many people saw or heard the sound of artillery in the distance, and they couldn't help but shout: "Reinforcements have arrived!" Our reinforcements have arrived! ”
Many people wept with joy!
It's really not easy, I repelled several attacks by the Qing army, nearly half of the casualties were killed, and more than 2,000 people died, and we could still wait for reinforcements. They didn't expect reinforcements in the first place, those troops have gone to defend the Beijing Division, who will care if they live or die.
Reinforcements came, and the news was like an injection of strength, and in the face of the Qing army's offensive, they became more and more courageous.
Gushan Ezhen Zhanggu received Azig's death order, and Miyun must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise military law will be engaged. So he kept urging the siege, and wave after wave of Qing troops rushed towards the Miyun city wall with cloud ladders.
Azig also has no choice, Miyun must be taken as soon as possible, and cannot be attacked by the enemy from both sides.
The strategy of using civilians to storm the enemy army is in danger of bankruptcy under the repeated blows of mortars. Therefore, while ordering Zhanggu to attack Miyun, he also ordered two cavalry of the Gushan Qing army to forcibly rush towards the enemy from both wings from among the people on both sides.
The changes in the enemy were clearly seen by Wang Yue from a high place, and he saw that the cavalry of the Qing army continued to trample over hundreds of people and rushed towards the regimental training position.
He immediately ordered the 1st and 2nd battalions to take the left, the 3rd and 4th battalions to the right, and the 6th battalion to the center to meet the Qing army! Even if you accidentally hurt the people, there is nothing you can do, once you fail, these people will be worse than dead.
