Chapter 108: Siege (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)

The Apache quickly flew over the Jingshi, and then flew over the starting city, a distance of more than ten kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The starting point city was surrounded by Qing troops, and the offensive had begun. Shells continued to explode in the Qing army, and streams of gunpowder smoke were clearly visible in the air.

Zhang Ziyun shouted: "Oops, it's already a fight, what should I do?" Are we going down? ”

Wang Yue could see through the eyepiece that, as he had guessed, the Qing army first forced the people to attack the city, because hundreds of people had already gathered under the city walls, and even ladders were set up. This was followed by the surrendered Ming army, followed by the Qing army, and many Qing troops had already attacked the side of the starting point city and tried to shoot arrows.

Dozens of Type 85 heavy machine guns were firing continuously at the head of the starting city, and the four M134 Gatlings located in the protrusions at the four corners of the city wall were also blazing with blue fire, firing fiercely on both sides of the city wall. Gatling was a 7.62 mm vehicle-mounted machine gun from Wanwan's house, with a range of 2,500 meters and a rate of fire of up to 6,000 rounds per minute. This thing is used for tower defense, and the effect is really good, it is precisely because it consumes too many bullets, so Wang Yue has to temporarily recruit workers to help transport it.

Abatai led two Gushan troops to join Tan Tai in Daxing, and explained to him the purpose of the trip, which was to start the craftsmen and secret recipes in the city. Tan Tai also had a strong interest in the kind of weapon that could annihilate more than 30,000 Qing warriors and wanted to get it.

What's more, Abatai is the deputy marshal, and of course he has to act according to orders.

Tan Tai already had more than 2,000 Ming troops and more than 20,000 captured people. On the way from Abatei, he brought more than 4,000 troops from Tongzhou and Shunyi to defend the city, but he felt that it was not enough, and ordered Tan Tai to take all the people of Daxing away as cannon fodder.

In this way, as he marched forward, he searched for the people, and when he arrived at the starting city, there were already eighty or ninety thousand people.

As soon as he arrived at the starting city, Abatai ordered to surround him on all sides, not to let go of a single person, and to prevent them from going out to ventilate and report the news. It's a pity that he didn't know that there was such a thing as a walkie-talkie in the world.

The entire city of the starting point got the amazing news on the radio.

"Start City Radio, now broadcast an emergency notice, now broadcast an emergency notice. According to the latest news sent by Feng Yuanshan, commander of the fifth battalion of the garrison of the city, our starting point city has been surrounded by nearly 40,000 Tartars, and the Tartars are about to attack our starting point city with 80,000 or 90,000 people. Battalion Commander Feng Yuanshan said that the city is in the people, and the fifth battalion, the recruit company, and the 800 officers and soldiers of the security department swear to live and die with the starting point city! ”

The news was explosive, like dropping a nuclear bomb on the starting point.

The life of peace and tranquility had just begun, and the smoke of the first battle for the defense of the starting point had just cleared, and people thought that the war would be far away from the starting point. I didn't expect that the war was about to break out all of a sudden, and the enemy's target was the starting point city!

This news made all the people of the starting point city panic, there are 40,000 Tartars, there are 80,000 or 90,000 ignorant people, and our defenders are only 800, oh my God!

Broadcasting the whole city is Wang Yue's request, he believes that the people have the right to know, not to mention that once the war starts, the sound of gunfire will cause panic like the sound of artillery, it is better to turn the panic into order.

Just as many young men ran to the city walls, shouting for help in defending the city, the radio began to announce it again.

"Now broadcast the emergency notice, now broadcast the emergency notice: in order to assist the officers and soldiers defending the city, two thousand workers are now needed to help transport ammunition, please ask the workers who are interested to go to their respective brigade leaders to report!"

So all the captains were surrounded.

"Captain, Captain, I'll go, let me go!"

"Captain, I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

The captains shouted: "Don't mess around, our brigade only needs 500 people, if you want to go, please gather in the open space over there, and whoever I tell you to go will go." ”

Soon 2,000 people were organized, and under the leadership of captains of all ranks, they ran towards the four city walls. Those who were not selected complained one after another, why did they need 2,000 people?

Boxes of bullets were carried up to the city, gradually piled up, and chains of bullets were pressed into the chambers of the guns.

Abatai's offensive strategy turned out to be the same as Azig's, which was to get the people to help him attract firepower.

He was overjoyed that the starting point city did not have a moat. After ordering the people to prepare thousands of siege ladders, he first ordered the soldiers to drive the people to attack the city first. Seeing that the common people rushed to the city wall of the starting point with ladders, and the defenders did not shoot, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then let the surrendering Ming army attack the city later.

He also heard the shouts of the loudspeakers in the city, and although he was surprised that someone could speak so loudly, it could not interfere with his determination to take the city.

As soon as these Ming troops were within range, the defenders finally opened fire, and a dense rain of bullets shot at these original Ming soldiers who rushed over, and people kept being shot and fell to the ground, and these original Ming troops retreated.

The Qing army supervising the battle cut down a few in the past, and the original Ming army continued to attack the city in fright.

Abatai ordered the cannons to be rolled out, and a dozen Franc cannons were pushed forward. As a result, before reaching the optimal distance, it was hit by a heavy attack by the mortars at the head of the city. Although it was not as fierce as the last battle, the rate of fire of the mortars was not given in vain, killing and blowing up several Franc machine guns and Qing artillery.

Abbatey learned the lesson of the last time, and the Franco's cannons were scattered so that they would not be attacked in a concentrated manner. Finally, a few cannons entered within a kilometer, and these Qing troops seized the opportunity to fire a few cannons at the city, and the shells roared towards the starting city. They also continued to reload with gunpowder and shells, regardless of whether they hit or not.

But they didn't have a chance, and the Type 85 heavy machine guns, Gatlings, and mortars all took care of them, and the bullets crackled on the guns. The shells also kept falling, and after a while, the cannons overturned and people died.

Seeing that the artillery was finished again, Abatai ordered the Qing army to attack the city.

The Qing army is indeed not comparable to the common people and the original Ming army, it is a sacrifice of life carrying a ladder and pushing the crashing car forward. Abatai gave up the platoon, knowing it was useless.

With the attack of the Qing army, the fire at the head of the city became intensive, and the rate of fire of Gatling was adjusted from 2,000 rounds per minute to 4,000 rounds per minute. The bullet casings suddenly bounced out, and in a moment they were piled up into a small mountain. The workers who helped next to him shoveled the bullet casings into the cart and pushed them away, while the co-shooter kept loading the ammunition box on the side.

The firepower was too dense, and the Qing soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground. Abatai also noticed the Gatling, the machine gun's rate of fire was so perverted that it once again subverted his perception of the firebolt.

He said in his heart: He is NN, there are too many treasures in this city, and this fire gun will top tens of thousands of fire guns, and no one will live. Yes, you must grab it, I have this weapon in the Qing Dynasty, who can withstand me.

So Abatai ignored the life and death of the Qing army and ordered the whole army to assault! He saw that there were not many firepower points, which meant that the troops here were limited, and it was impossible to succeed here.
