Chapter Ninety-Seven: Miyun Offensive and Defensive Battle (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)

(Thank you for the reward I am a reading idiot, thank you for the recommendation votes of new and old book friends)

"With the offensive capabilities of our army, for the sake of conservatism, I decided to use the battalion as an independent combat unit. Battalion commanders should give full play to the advantages of our army's various weapons, rationally match them, promote our strengths, and attack the enemy's shortcomings! ”

After the officer meeting, Wang Yue came to Gu Xiuquan and asked, "Has that Gonggong Cao finished learning the rules?" ”

Gu Xiuquan smiled: "I put a few layers of cloth on his chest and hit him with a few hammers, and that guy was cowardly." The petition has been signed, and the slogan has been shouted, when will we let him go? ”

Wang Yuexin said: This means that I haven't met Wang Chengen, that's a die-hard fan of Chongzhen, and it's useless to hammer it to death.

"Give him a thousand taels of silver, and tell him that it is the medical bill. We need to be both rigid and soft! Let him go tomorrow. Wang Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

The next day, it was still a reconnaissance platoon to open the road in front, and the regiment trained the large troops, and the Baoding army stayed behind in Changping and Huairou. Dong Yongwen also knew that his soldiers really couldn't help much, anyway, Wang Yue wouldn't treat him badly.

Inside the command car, Xie Baoqing said with emotion: "Riding this chariot to go on the expedition is indeed mighty." ”

Sun Jinyong said with a smile: "Not only is it mighty but also safe, this is made of stainless steel, who can destroy it?" ”

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "Although this car is good, it can't be crossed by mountains and wide deep ditches, where is it better to get on the plane?" ”

"Airplanes?" Everyone in the car was curious.

Wang Yue explained: "It is a machine flying in the sky, which can carry people!" ”

Zhang Ziyun became interested when he heard it: "Where is it?" How can there only be machines on the ground? Can machines go to the sky? ”

Regarding Zhang Ziyun's 100,000 whys, Wang Yue was also helpless.

"Of course the machine can go to the sky, you should have seen Kong Ming lanterns or kites, right?" Wang Yue asked.

Zhang Ziyun nodded vigorously and said, "Where is that heavenly machine?" ”

She felt that since Wang Yue had a machine on the ground, there should be a machine in the sky.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "In a secret place, it's just that I'm not proficient in using it, so I didn't take it out." ”

"Go, it's a secret again!" Zhang Ziyun ignored him lazily.

Xie Baoqing shook his head and said: "Since it is a machine, it must be iron, how difficult it is for iron to go to heaven!" ”

Wang Yue didn't want to explain that airplanes, especially modern airplanes, were too complicated. If the Ming Dynasty wants to have an airplane, it will have to wait for the industry here to produce a qualified engine, and then it is still possible to manufacture an aircraft during the First World War.

A few kilometers after departure, a platoon of reconnaissance sent a report that the enemy was spotted and left as soon as it saw a platoon of armored vehicles.

Wang Yue knew that war would break out at any time, and ordered a platoon not to rush too far.

Wang Yue asked Xie Baoqing: "Lord Xie, after the imperial court receives the news that we have recovered Changping and Huairou, it is time to send troops to recover the lost territory, right?" Our army has limited troops, and we can't be transferred out to recover so many lost counties! ”

Xie Baoqing sighed and said: "Today I have already brought the battle report and the fold back to Gonggong Cao, and it is not easy for me to guess when the troops will be sent." ”

The main reason is that Wang Yue's progress is too fast. Based on his understanding of the procrastination of the imperial court, he has to wait for the imperial court to make a decision, and Wang Yue may have finished the fight.

Azig was ready to attack Miyun, and when he heard the return of the scouts, the enemy came from Huairou. He ordered Gushan Ezhen Zhanggu to attack the city immediately, telling him to take Miyun as soon as possible, relieve the trouble, and lead most of his troops to meet Wang Yue.

Miyun City is divided into two cities, east and west, and the west city was built by Hongwu for ten years, which is relatively short. Dongcheng was built in the Wanli period, it is a new city, the city wall is high and thick, and it is the seat of the county.

The east and west gates of the two cities are 80 meters apart, and these 80 meters are called the sandwich road by the locals.

According to local conditions, Miyundu commanded Tongzhi Jiang Guixian to divide 3,000 troops into two cities, echoing each other from afar.

Miyun's soldiers are basically from military families, no different from peasants, and their combat effectiveness is not the same as that of the Qing army.

The one who can fight more should belong to the 500 county soldiers led by the county commander Cheng Minghao, after all, these soldiers do not usually work in agriculture.

Although Cheng Minghao was the commander of Qipin County, Jiang Guixian commanded Tongzhi from the three grades, and Jiang Guixian also had to obey Cheng Minghao's orders.

Since the Qing army gathered yesterday, Cheng Minghao knew that Miyun was no longer spared. As the prefectural magistrate here, he is ready to live and die with the city.

"My lord, Jiannu is ready to attack the city!" Seeing that the Qing soldiers had pushed out the cloud car, Jiang Guixian said nervously.

Cheng Minghao knew that his last moment had come, and said loudly: "The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty to the King." Although the slave is powerful, don't let them think that I have no one. General Jiang, quickly go and inform Xicheng and prepare for battle! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Jiang Guixian felt that nothing could be done. He knows very well the combat strength of the Qing army, not to mention several times his own, even if the strength is equal, it is difficult to hold Miyun. Since Cheng Minghao wants to fight to the death, he has to fight.

The drums of the attack under the city sounded, and the first thing was the bombardment of the city by the Franco's machine guns.

The artillery at the head of Miyun City was not to be outdone, but unfortunately the artillery at the head of the city was old, the range was insufficient, and the number was small, and it was suppressed by the Franco machine gun under the city, and after a while, an artillery piece was blown up by the Qing army.

As the long horn of attack sounded, the shield bearers of the Qing army were in front, beware of the bows and arrows on the city walls, and the archers were behind, constantly firing arrows at the city walls.

For a time, arrows came and went up and down the city, like flying locusts.

The archery skills of the Ming army were obviously not the opponents of the Qing army, and from time to time some people fell to the ground with arrows.

The first to appear were a dozen huge wooden rafts, carried by dozens of people to the moat. When they reached the river, they shouted trumpets and put the rafts on the moat

Then the rows of cars, siege vehicles, and the city vertebrae, the goose carts were pushed by the Qing army to the city wall.

Cheng Minghao ordered loudly: "Shoot those carts with firearms." ”

A series of firecrackers rang out over the city walls, and smoke filled with black powder.

The range and power were insufficient, and they did not kill a few Qing troops, but they were killed by many archers under the city.

Seeing that the platoon of vehicles and other siege vehicles were already approaching the city wall, there was another drum sound. There was a shout in the camp of the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers carrying the ladder in a group of four rushed towards the Miyun City Wall while shouting.

Cheng Minghao heard that his artillery was getting more and more sparse, and the Qing army's offensive was getting more and more fierce, and asked loudly: "Why don't you hurry up and open fire, is this to wait for Jiannu to attack?" ”

A personal soldier went over to inquire and ran over and said in a crying tone: "My lord, there is only one artillery piece left in our army. ”

"What?" When Cheng Minghao heard the news, his body shook.

Although he was a civilian official, he also knew that without artillery, the enemy's Frankie cannon would be able to fire closely, and it would be twice as difficult to defend the city walls.

There is no way, only desperate.

The ladder of the Qing soldiers has been set up at the head of the city, and the Ming army defending the city is desperately pushing down the ladder, but the Qing army has strong troops, and the speed of pushing cannot catch up with the speed of the ladder.
