Chapter 35 Occupy Yulin and Attack Weinan

Liu Chenghuang's guards found that the situation was not good, so they immediately surrounded Liu Chenghuang. Despite the sudden change, Liu Chenghuang was shocked and still did not mess up, he believed that his cavalry could cope with the current situation.

Sure enough, as Liu Chenghuang expected, the Yaogang cavalry were in danger one by one, quickly took off the automatic rifles straddled their bodies, and didn't care about helping the brothers who were shot off their horses, so they grabbed and started shooting at the approaching cavalry. As soon as the shots rang out, the situation began to turn around.

The cavalry of the Dashun army only came to hurry to clean up the traces of horse manure and other traces on the road in front of their ambush section, and the cavalry of the kiln gang arrived, they let go of a team of cavalry who were the vanguard, and when the cavalry of the brigade entered the ambush circle, the mighty general of the Dashun army was about to jump out of joy, he saw that the number of opponents was not much, according to experience, his own sudden attack, a charge can be in the case of the opponent can not organize resistance, and the opponent will be disrupted at once, and then the battle will be slowly resolved.

As soon as the mighty general waved his hand, the trumpeter immediately picked up the horn and blew it "whining".

The cavalry of the Dashun army, who were in a hurry, immediately rushed out on their prancing horses, and when they were attacking, the cavalry shot arrows one by one according to their usual training. Seeing that his cavalry was about to rush into the opponent's ranks, the guns rang out one by one. Soon the sound of gunfire overpowered the shouts of the cavalry and the hooves of the horses.

The charging cavalry rushed like a tidal wave, but the opponent's ranks were like a. The tide hit the embankment, was shattered, and then receded.

The cavalrymen who rushed to the opponent in front of them fell to the ground one by one, and the cavalry behind them who could still hold their horses were forced to restrain their horses. The opponents in front are simply terrible, the things in their hands have never been seen at all, against whom, who will get a few "pops", they can't get close to people at all, how can such a battle continue, those brave continue to rush forward until they are killed, the timid stop and do not dare to retreat, Li Zicheng's military discipline is very strict, and if he retreats, he will definitely die.

The mighty general of the Dashun army was also a battle-hardened general, and he saw very clearly from the back that he had planned to use the impact of cavalry to quickly rush into the opponent's ranks, disrupt the opponent and then annihilate them. But now I can't get close to my opponent at all. It seems that the horror of the kiln gang people is definitely not a false rumor. Just when he didn't know whether to retreat or continue to fight. The kiln men fought back.

After the Yaogang cavalry used their firepower advantage to stop the onslaught of the Dashun cavalry, Liu Chenghuang knew that he could not give the opponent a chance to breathe, and immediately commanded the cavalry to follow the Dashun cavalry on both sides of the road in two directions. The cavalry of the Dashun army was chased and ran away. That mighty general didn't have to think about how to fight, now he only had to run. I'm afraid it's a little slower, and I can't escape it.

The battle came quickly and ended quickly. Liu Chenghuang came over and asked for a click, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched. Because at this time, the bows and arrows of the Dashun army wounded more than 50 cavalrymen and killed six. Liu Chenghuang felt that he was too wronged today. This is not enough, so many soldiers were killed and wounded at once. I had no choice but to bandage and treat the soldiers immediately. After a simple cleaning of the battlefield, it is estimated that more than 2,000 soldiers of the Dashun Army should have been killed, more than 200 prisoners were captured, and more than 500 war horses were captured. I asked the captives, and the captives said that it was the mighty general who brought them out, and he had already led the people away.

But after a while, the striker sent by Liu Chenghuang came back with a team of men.

It turned out that the strikers of this team opened the road in front and did not find an ambush on the side of the road at all, in fact, they did not expect an ambush. When they passed through the ambush point, the Dashun army let them go. However, after they passed through the ambush site, they suddenly found that there was a lot of fresh horse manure on the road, which surprised them. This meant that there were a large number of cavalry, and they dismounted and took a closer look, and even more jumped. Just past a troop of cavalry is no doubt. However, there are no traces in front, which is even more dangerous, indicating that someone has removed the traces. At this time, fierce gunfire was heard in the distance behind. They immediately rushed back. But before they could reach the place where the gunshots rang out, the fierce gunfire stopped, and there was the occasional "popping" shot. They knew that they had won, otherwise there would be no more shooting.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front, and they knew that they must have escaped from the front. They immediately dismounted and placed a few dead trees on the road to block the way. Just as a dozen horses ran in front of the tree, stopped their horses, and were about to run to the side, they immediately rushed over and pointed their guns at the dozen or so men. They had just learned the power of the soldiers of the Dashun Army, and they had no choice but to obediently dismount and surrender. These people were the few people that the mighty general had brought with him.

Liu Chenghuang wanted to interrogate this mighty general in the past. However, General Huwei wanted to show heroism at this time, and tilted his head and did not speak. Liu Chenghuang said angrily: "You have already raised your fucking hands to surrender, so don't be a hero." If you really don't speak, it's not surrendering. I'm going to have someone cut you right now! ”

As a result, this mighty general, the general obediently told the situation of the Qingshui battalion in front.

Liu Chenghuang arranged for the bodies of the wounded brothers and the brothers killed in the war to be sent back. He took the mighty general to the front of the Qingshui camp. Liu Chenghuang asked more than 200 people to put on the clothing and armor of the Dashun army, and then he personally escorted the mighty general to the east gate of the Qingshui Camp Castle. Tell the mighty general, "Shout the door open at once, or you know the consequences!" ”

"Good!" The mighty general completely surrendered, and he was very obedient. shouted at the gatehouse: "Quick, open the door for Lao Tzu!" ”

The defenders on the east gate of the Qingshui camp saw that the mighty general had returned with 200 people, and felt that something was wrong, but the general did not dare not open the door when he spoke. They squeaked open the gate, and Liu Chenghuang's 200 people swarmed up, killing dozens of defenders guarding the gate with a burst of gunfire. quickly occupied the east gate, and the cavalry of the kiln gang in the distance rushed over like a tide, and quickly rushed into the castle of Qingshuiying. After the officers and soldiers of Dashun who were defending the city understood, many of them did not listen to the persuasion of the mighty general to surrender and began to resist fiercely. However, it was quickly wiped out by the kiln cavalry, armed with automatic rifles.

Liu Chenghuang instructed everyone to carefully search Qingshuiying Castle, and after discovering that there was a leak, he sent a telegram to Liu Yun to report today's situation. Liu Yun called back and said, "Just rest in the Qingshui camp and wait for the arrival of the large army before proceeding to the next step." ”

Liu Yun's decision was correct, Liu Chenghuang and his small force raid can only achieve good results when the opponent is unprepared, if they are forced to attack, they still need a large group of men and horses to come over, and all arms can give full play to their strengths and achieve the greatest results at the minimum cost.

Of course, Liu Chenghuang also understands this truth, because when the mighty general of the Qingshui Battalion left the Qingshui Battalion, he had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Yan'an Mansion, and it was likely that the reinforcements from Yan'an Mansion were already on the way. Therefore, Liu Chenghuang arranged his soldiers and prepared to defend in the Qingshui Battalion.

Liu Yun and his brigade could not move as fast as the light cavalry led by Liu Chenghuang. After Liu Yun and his men crossed the river, they immediately let Zhou Yuji's team of guards who took over the Great Wall cross the Yellow River.

After Li Yan and Zhou Yuji knew that Liu Yun's side was going very well, they decided not to take the pontoon bridge again, and after Liu Yun and his team had crossed, they also crossed the river from the pontoon bridge here. Therefore, Li Yan and Zhou Yuji both rushed to the wharf of the river meander, and as soon as Liu Yun saw them coming, he handed over the matter on the side of the pontoon bridge to them, and led people to the Qingshuihe Castle first. Because Liu Chenghuang was ambushed as soon as he sent out his troops, although the loss was not too great, he was afraid that it would affect his morale, so he hurried over.

After Liu Yun arrived at the Qingshui Camp, he immediately carefully inspected the defense facilities of the Qingshui Camp with Liu Chenghuang.

This Qingshuiying castle is built on the hillside, with a circumference of more than three miles, a height of one zhang and eight feet, two gates in the east and south, and nineteen buildings.

After reading it, Liu Yun was inevitably a little disappointed and said, "Alas! I have long heard that Yulinwei is an important town on the nine sides, and this is a big Malaysia city. I didn't expect Yulinwei's Guanbao to be like this. It's only been two days since we called, and we took it down so easily. What a disappointment! ”

Liu Chenghuang smiled and said, "You, you've been in the kiln for a long time." I don't think it's good at all. Maybe the people here think it's very good. No matter what, the city here is still a brick city, unlike the Great Wall, which is all rammed. ”

"Don't underestimate the Great Wall." Liu Yun said, "The soil of the Great Wall needs to be sifted and exposed to the sun or fried in a pot, so that the grass seeds in the soil cannot germinate." The rammed walls of the Great Wall are shot with bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows are only qualified if they fall, and if the bows and arrows are shot in, they must be removed and rebuilt immediately. ”

"Just like Mr. Zhang said, we have built the Great Wall for one or two thousand years, and no matter how well we build it, we haven't really blocked the invasion of the cavalry from the north." Liu Chenghuang said.

"It can't be said that it didn't work at all. Without the Great Wall, we would have suffered even more. Liu Yun replied, "It's just that the price we paid was too high, and the benefits were too small." ”

"I asked the captured soldiers of the Dashun Army why there is such a depression here?" Liu Chenghuang said, "They said that the original Yulin people were all killed by them. Because all the people here in Yulin are soldiers, it took eight days and eight nights for the Dashun army to attack Yulin. The soldiers and civilians of Yulin did not surrender, and all of them died in battle. The people of Yulin today all moved over later. ”

"Shaanxi is a place where there are talents! Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong both started from Yan'an Mansion. It is said that 'the southern genius and the northern general, Shaanxi Leng Wa are in two rows'. It is well said that the soldiers of Shaanxi are the best soldiers. Liu Yun admired and said, "Shaanxi has always had swordsmen here. They're all cold-blooded men. ”

Liu Yun and Liu Chenghuang sighed in Qingshui Camp, and Zhang Zhimu in Yaogang couldn't help but say to Yan Boju: "I didn't expect Liu Yun and them to take Yulin Qingshui Camp so quickly." It is said that there are 200 passes of the Great Wall. Yulin is a pass, and it is also one of the nine passes of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be so easy? ”

"Hey, hey! You don't see what they're holding. Yan Boju said, "Each of them is dressed together, and Li Zicheng's ten soldiers can't be used." What do our soldiers eat, what do Li Zicheng's soldiers eat? ”

The three roads marching to Shaanxi, if there is a little movement, it is the south road. They traveled in a hurry overnight, and on the way they divided their troops to deal with Huayin County and other county seats, and the brigade came to Weinan.

After receiving Li Zicheng's order to strengthen the Weinan defense line, Yuan Zongdi, the general, did not dare to slack off, and built three defense lines along Weishui outside the city of Weinan. On both sides of the Weishui River, many forts were built along the river, and many cannons were arranged.

Li Jing and Li Wei followed Chen Yufeng and their south road this time. Li Jing is an idle person, he personally took his special forces to the front, and before dawn, he led someone to quietly bury the ** under the wooden wall of Yuan Zongdi's first line of defense camp.

In order to improve the suddenness of the action, before dawn, Ouyang He ordered the attack to begin.

The prelude to the attack began with Li Jing's order to blow up the wooden fence and fence of the camp that the Dashun army was blocking the road.

Li Jing arranged more than 100 large and small mortars and infantry guns to prepare to attack the defenders in the camp. Li Wei has always wanted to use the heavy artillery division to come to the front to help. Li Jing said: "Stay in your heavy artillery division to deal with the fortified castle, these wooden and earth enclosures all use 130 heavy artillery, how many shells do we need to finish fighting Shaanxi?" ”

"Also, against them, those mortars are enough." Li Wei said, "Li Yunhe said that this time in Shaanxi, although the previous smokeless shells have been finished. In the future, 130 heavy guns will use shells with *** charge. At the very least, ammonia ladders should also be used**. ”

"Huh! Ti Aluminum ** is simply terrifying, a shell on top of the original several rounds. It's a waste to deal with them. Li Jing said, "It's best to go to Xi'an Li Zicheng that old man didn't run, we went to Xi'an to open a good meat!" ”

As the two brothers spoke, the front was ready, and Fan Chengkun on the river also sent a telegram saying that everything was ready.

Li Jing commanded with the radio: "Begin!" ”

The Demoman in front received the order to shake the *** handle and press down. There was a flash of fire under the wall of the camp in front, and there was a loud "boom". The entire wall of the camp was blown away.

In this camp, Yuan Zongdi put more than 10,000 defenders. They were all awakened in their sleep.

Before they could get dressed, shells rained down from the sky.

The current kiln artillery is no longer the artillery that just knew how to open fire. They ran the group in a well-organized group, with a clear division of labor, and the shells rolled from south to north, covering the entire camp.

At the same time as the shells fired by more than 100 guns attacked the camp, the Xiurong, which drove up the river to Weinan here, also began to exert its might. They suddenly lit several searchlights, and the snow-bright searchlights searched for the batteries on the banks of the Wei River, and each time they found a battery, the searchlights immediately locked it. At the same time, the 130 naval guns will overturn it with one shot, along with the battery and cannon. Shooting at close range, it can be said that there is no missing shot.

The artillery sentries of the Dashun army on the Wei River actually heard the sound of the roaring steamboats coming from the Wei River, and they quickly notified the artillerymen to get up and go to the battery. However, the black-lit artillerymen did not dare to light the torches, because they had all heard the artillerymen who had returned from Tongguan say that as long as the steam warships in the kiln found that there was a fort, they would definitely not be able to escape. Their cannons are just too powerful. Therefore, they did not dare to light torches so that the kilnmen could discover their forts. But the kiln people didn't care about their business at all, they had their own searchlights, and now the artillerymen on the riverbank understood that as long as they were illuminated by the kind of light of others, even the fort with cannons would fly into the sky for a while, and they would definitely not be able to run. Those artillerymen who came back from Tongguan also didn't understand how the cannons of the Yaogang people were more powerful. It turned out that a battery was found, and they would fire a volley of shells to destroy it. Now people only need one cannon at a time, and the power of the cannonballs is much more powerful than the previous cannonballs.

The artillery of the Dashun army only considered that it was convenient for them to block the river, but they did not expect that it would be convenient when they were attacked by others. Dozens of batteries along the coast, dozens of cannons, almost no cannon fired. The artillerymen all ran away. Because they could all see the scene of the battery being hit and the men and cannons flying into the sky in the light of the fire. No brave person will stand up to the bombing.

The artillerymen of the Xiurong opened the meat today. It's just that it keeps sending shells into the chamber and firing them constantly. Although the artillerymen were tired and sweating profusely, their hearts were happy. It's just that it's too easy to hit, and I say, "It's much easier than shooting." You don't have to think about anything at all, just aim the barrel at the target and start running. ”

It is also true that there is no need to consider other correction factors at this close, just bombardment directly.

Fan Chengkun and Mu Yi were also a little annoyed to watch.

Mu Yi joked with Fan Chengkun: "Commander Fan, our two warships will be launched this summer. After we finished the trial voyage, we talked to Mr. Zhang about it, and drove directly into the Yangtze River and drove along the Han River to Xiangyang, and flattened Li Zicheng's old nest! ”

"Huh!" Fan Chengkun was in a good mood, "I want to too!" But it depends on what Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Ouyang think. ”

"I heard Li Yunhe say that they are developing a 203-caliber naval gun, which is simply terrifying." Mu Yi said, "If the 203 gun is developed, our Xiurong can be equipped with one of these main guns." Our other two steel-hulled ships can also be fitted with the main guns of the 203. ”

"I've heard," said Fan Chengkun, "that Mr. Zhang gave Li Yunhe the task of developing 230 guns before the new ship was loaded. That thing can only be used on our steel-hulled ships for the time being. ”

"Okay! All of our 130 guns were installed on those ships. Mu Yi said, "Now the two Fu ships left on the Yangtze River have not been reequipped with 130 cannons." ”

Fan Chengkun and Mu Yizheng were talking, and a string of speedboats loaded with diesel engines came up. This time, Mu Yi and they came with a total of ten speedboats, and it turned out that a total of twelve speedboats were built, and two were assigned to Ningde, and the rest came.

After Li Jing and the others finished shelling, the infantry began to attack in two directions. Fan Chengkun and his speedboat were equipped with searchlights and 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the roof, and after the speedboat drove up, they used searchlights from the river to illuminate the camp of the Dashun army. The boat's 12.7mm heavy machine gun was firing at moving targets. That large-caliber heavy machine gun was simply terrifying. The soldiers of the Dashun army had nowhere to hide, and large-caliber bullets could break them through earthen walls and wood, and no matter their arms and legs, as long as they were hit, they would be sent flying. Li Jing and his two regiments of infantry occupied the first camp at dawn. However, the infantry was obviously not very happy, except for the smell of blood, the battle was not interesting at all. When they stormed the camp, the soldiers of the Dashun army rarely resisted. This really made them too depressed, and the battle that they had waited for so long was like this, and they were all sorry for the sweat they usually shed in training.

However, Li Jing and Li Wei didn't see it that way, they didn't want to waste too much time in the first camp this time.
