292 Outside the Forbidden City

Urban street fighting is no easier than mountain warfare in which Hongtang soldiers train more.

Mountain warfare requires crossing mountains and mountains, while at the same time always beware of poisonous insects and beasts lurking in the jungle wilderness, as well as various natural traps.

And fighting in the city, crisscrossing the streets, and the roads that can reach a dead end at any time, are always discouraged.

In the case of the peasant rebel army, or most of the Ming Dynasty army, they did not care about the living conditions of the residents in the city, and without too many scruples, they were more likely to push the houses blocking the way all the way, and after the last battle, the number of people lost was far more than double the number of troops.

However, the Hongtang army has a strict military system, and even in the case of a disadvantaged battle situation, the Hongtang soldiers are never allowed to point their butcher knives and weapons at the unarmed civilians.

Even when he was attacking the Qing Dynasty, which had a deep blood feud. In the face of those stubborn Qing people who had hunting bows and other daily self-defense weapons in their hands, the Hongtang soldiers rarely acted aggressively against them at night.

Finally climbed a deep wall compound, and when he arrived at the location of the Hongtang comrades-in-arms who had changed, fortunately, the battle was not over, and he was biting a battalion of hundreds of Hongtang soldiers with a scale of more than 1,000 people in the Ming army, and gathered into a fist to fight fiercely with the Ming army blocked in the middle of an avenue.

"Keep up with me, stay in formation, kill!"

As the platoon commander, Suning and Qiao Yuxi shouted loudly. The first to bear the brunt of the weapon, he led two rows of more than 100 people to join the battlefield to share the pressure for their comrades.

More and more Hongtang teams rushed over from all directions, although they were not familiar with the terrain in the Jingshi Laneway, but this did not hinder their execution when rescuing.

From the signal to the arrival of the first batch of reinforcements, it took less than ten minutes, which was also unexpected by the Ming Dynasty Qianzong, who originally had only two rows of more than 100 people in Hongtang, with a thousand belly troops.

If he had known that the other party's actions were rapid, I am afraid that whether this Ming army at that time would have given the order to raid the Hongtang army, it would have been an unknown number.

At this time, the Ming army had no chance to retreat, and both sides of the street were blocked by Hongtang's team, and the shops and tea shops on both sides of the street were difficult to become a breakthrough. made the Ming army who raided it become the side that was besieged.

The arrival of Suning, Qiao Yuxi and other new forces, soon made the Hongtang army, which was at a disadvantage in strength, gradually become the dominant side, relying on the tacit cooperation of the Hongtang army, half an hour later, the Ming Dynasty army that stole chickens and rice collapsed after half of the battle was lost, and then became a prisoner of the Hongtang army.

Cao Bianjiao's plan was not bad, but they underestimated the strength of the Hongtang army, especially what they didn't expect was that the Hongtang army had already carried out professional training for the current situation when they were practicing in peacetime.

The final result is clear at a glance, and the Ming Dynasty army has verified that the Hongtang army is somewhat ahead of the city war at a relatively heavy price, and has good results.

The same scene was staged in the Jingshi, a land covering an area of hundreds of square miles, and the battle plan formulated by the Hongtang army according to the urban street battles imagined by Li Tianyang and the participating machine department, although there were many omissions and deficiencies, but relatively speaking, their opponents were weaker, and as the object of the Hongtang army's verification of tactics, it was just right.

However, Cao Bianjiao's goal was also achieved, the Hongtang army in order to push all the way through, leaving no hidden dangers, the time delayed between these Qianmo lanes, is also a lot, when the Hongtang army captured most of the key places in Beijing, nearly a month has passed, and the Hongtang soldiers lost more than 10,000 troops.

"Are we going to rest under the Imperial City tonight?"

After fighting in the capital city for more than a month, Suning and Qiao Yuxi, their two platoons of soldiers, now have more than half of the total losses, and in the subsequent operation, in order to facilitate command, their two platoons have been merged into a platoon to fight.

"I want to see if this imperial city is the same as in the play, the ground is covered with gold bricks, and there are five-clawed dragons hanging on the beams."

Although everyone knows that folk rumors are not credible, there are all kinds of rumors in the Forbidden City. The Hongtang soldiers were all full of interest.

"Then you have to be able to break into the Forbidden City!"

Suning smiled at his partner beside him and joked slyly.

“……”

Qiao Yuxi paused, they were actually not far from the inner city of the imperial city, but looking at the high wall that blocked the view and stood out from the sky, he still shook his head very self-consciously and sighed.

"But don't be discouraged if you have any of you, sooner or later, this imperial city will be taken by us, it's only a matter of time."

"That's just as well!"

With the Hongtang soldiers, they will learn the street fighting tactics they usually learn. Combined with the current actual battlefield and learning from each other's strengths, it became more and more difficult for the Ming Dynasty's army to survive in a complex environment.

Although the Hongtang army rarely dared to clean up the remnants of the Ming army hidden in the houses because of military discipline and military discipline problems, with the tacit cooperation of the soldiers of the Hongtang army and advanced weapons and tactics, they still occupied most of the territory of the entire Beijing division step by step.

The Ming Dynasty army, after the repeated unsuccessful raids, but the heavy losses of the raiding army, the more the events passed, their harassment, attack and other tactics became more and more difficult to work, so that they could only re-gather the army, rely on the city fortifications for defense, and return to the tactics they are good at.

"I'll bring the artillery regiment up!"

Shang Kexi waved his hand and issued an order.

"Division commander. At the suggestion of our subordinates, we still dig a tunnel and find a city wall to blast directly, which is far faster than artillery! ”

The senator of the staff office stood up and raised an objection: "Although there are no dwellings within dozens of zhang around the imperial city, and it is impossible to hide the whereabouts, but let's start digging from dozens of zhang away, with the ability of our military engineers, we can dig to the foot of the imperial city in three days at most!" ”

"After all, this Forbidden City is the foundation of many imperial dynasties, and its Chinese historical sites are numerous, so it is not a happy thing to be destroyed by war."

"Well said!"

A person walked in from outside the door, but it was Wu Jie, who was supposed to stay outside the city, and at this time clapped his hands and praised Shang Kexi's senator.

"Compared with the outer city of Beijing, this Forbidden City is also the ancient capital of several dynasties, although we as soldiers cannot be restrained by foreign objects, but it is good that future generations can leave some thoughts when necessary."

"Yes!"

Shang Kexi slandered in his heart, when Wu Jie issued the shelling order before, he didn't say that, but on his face, he gave a positive answer without hesitation. To watch the first release of the new chapter of the festival, please go to the mobile address --- Tangke Xing:
