Chapter 451, Street Fighting (5)
γPen β fun Γ· book.γ, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
With the streets blocked by fire, advance through houses, through walls, thus avoiding enemy fire, closing the distance, and then launching a large number of hands first. Pomegranate. bomb, in the immediate launch of a close-range bayonet attack, this is another time and space, PLA summed up the experience in the street fighting.
This hand was completely unexpected by the Qing army, more than a dozen palm mines, plus a volley, made the Qing army blocking the street suddenly chaotic. At this time, more people rushed out of the houses on both sides, and they kept throwing "palm mines". These palm thunders crossed the crowd in front and fell into the rear of the Qing army, which added to the confusion of the Qing army.
In the midst of such chaos, the first batch of model army soldiers had already rushed forward with bayonets and started hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army.
Theoretically, although the use of bayonets allowed musketeers who had no hand-to-hand combat ability to have a certain amount of hand-to-hand combat ability, a rifle with a bayonet was not a perfect hand-to-hand combat weapon. Compared to a spear, it is much shorter in length. Compared to the short spear, it is a bit heavier, with a lower attack frequency and attack speed, and it cannot use a slider to attack, resulting in a much smaller attack range.
However, the food, training, and armor of the Model Army soldiers made up for these shortcomings. The soldiers of the Model Army usually eat well, and even the white armor of Jianqi does not have as high a protein intake as theirs. Adequate nutrition makes their training intensity far exceed that of their enemies, plus they wear half-body plate armor made of mild steel (still fried by the frying steel method, the performance is much worse than crucible steel, but it is still much stronger than ordinary wrought iron), ordinary swords, guns and spears, it is difficult to pose a mortal threat to model soldiers wearing such armor. With these, even in normal hand-to-hand combat, the model army soldiers will not suffer a loss against any contemporary army, and at this time, relying on the continuous "palm thunder" and the salvo in front, the model army has successfully plunged the Qing army into chaos, and it is naturally easier to gain the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat at this time.
Generally speaking, hand-to-hand combat always makes the difference between winners and losers in a very short period of time. This is because hand-to-hand combat is not only psychologically stressful for both sides of the battle than shooting at each other, but also physically as well. Wearing heavy armor and then engaging in high-intensity hand-to-hand combat is also a huge drain on physical strength. Therefore, hand-to-hand combat generally does not last too long. This time, their opponent fell into chaos before the two sides fought, and naturally they were not opponents, so almost instantly, the Qing army collapsed, even if those white-armored soldiers desperately rushed up to try to turn the tide of the battle by personal force, or relied on slashing and killing the fleeing Tianyou Army soldiers to temporarily stabilize the battle line, but these actions were useless. Those who rushed up to show their personal force were quickly stabbed to death by several bayonets, and cut down the army? Seeing that they couldn't do anything, they ran faster than the others, and soon, this crucial intersection was controlled by the Model Army.
"Damn, how did these thieves come out?" On the castle tower, Nikan looked at the Qing army scattered in the distance, his face distorted.
"Beizi, they must have dug holes in the houses on both sides." Kong Youde Dao.
"Quick! Go and tell the other neighborhoods to guard the houses on both sides! Fast! Nikan turned to a few of the guards beside him.
"Huh!" The guards answered, and immediately turned around and prepared to run down, but at this time they heard Kong Youde sigh: "It's late, it's late, it's too late!" β
Nikan hurriedly turned his head to look into the city, only to see that a similar situation had happened at several other intersections. The Qing army defending the intersection was also routed as quickly as before. Soon, several of the most critical intersections fell into the hands of the Model Army.
"Beizi, this ...... This city, I don't think it's ...... We must immediately withdraw our troops and shrink them. "Kong Youde said.
Nikan turned his head to look at Kong Youde. He knew that Kong Youde was right, after these key intersections fell into the hands of the enemy, the other party could effectively divide the Qing army by using these roads, and if they did not quickly let the Qing army in front retreat, they would be divided and surrounded. But if they were to retreat quickly, not only would they have to fall into the hands of the enemy, but more importantly, they would have to abandon almost all of their artillery. If these cannons are lost, then even if they shrink back and face the enemy's artillery fire, they may not be able to hold the last bit of ground. So, barring a miracle, the fall of the city is inevitable.
But it was precisely because Kong Youde made sense that Nikan became more and more annoyed. Kong Youde is not the defender of Jinzhou, Jinzhou was raided, it was not his responsibility, Jinzhou was lost, and his responsibility was limited. But he is different, he is the defender of Jinzhou, if someone captures Jinzhou in one day, his responsibility cannot be shirked no matter what. Although his surname is Aixin Jueluo, he is Chu Ying's son. When he was alive, he offended all the brothers he could offend, and now he is out of the basket here, just afraid that his uncle Huang Taiji will cut off his head without hesitation. So he had to hold the city anyway.
"The King of Obedience is right. It really should be contracted. "Although I can't accept the current situation emotionally, Nikan has fought a lot with those uncles after all, and knows the severity. He quickly said to the guards who had not had time to go down: "Go and inform all the soldiers and horses and retreat to the south gate!" β
The guards answered and ran down. Kong Youde knew that the matter was urgent, so he also asked his guards to follow him to give orders.
Nikan turned his head and said to Kong Youde: "I have already sent someone to ask the emperor for help. It's just that the emperor's rescue is not so fast. In any case, we must defend this city and live and die with Jinzhou. After a while, the enemy army came to attack, and Prince Lao and I went to the front line to supervise the battle. I don't know what the prince thinks? β
Nikan knew that if Kong Youde ran away, he would definitely be quickly defeated by the enemy army by relying on the few people in his hands. And Kong Youde is a Han man, and in Nikan's impression, the best thing for Han people is to sell their teammates and run away. So he had to keep an eye on this Han man, keep him by his side all the time, and couldn't let him run away.
Kong Youde's face turned blue, he naturally knew what Nikan meant, but he also knew that if he didn't agree, Nikan would definitely turn his face with him, and if he cut Nikan in the internal strife and escaped, then escaping back would be a dead end. So at this time, he could only accompany Nikan. Unless Nikan died first during the war. After his face changed a few times, he still said, "That's right!" The king and Beizi fought side by side. β
