Chapter 945: Shocking 18
The wind and rain stopped and temporarily revealed a little blue sky in the north of the city,
In front of Qianjin Fort, the last line of defense of the Northern Dynasty and a large stronghold, it was shrouded in smoke and flames after the artillery fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was obviously a scorching aura, but for most people in the slowly advancing array of volleys, it was also the most wonderful taste of victory and success in the world.
Most of the surrounding strongholds and fortifications that could be garrisoned and held have been destroyed and uprooted one by one, leaving only ruins and hobbling captives.
It is said that Li Tang, who rose in Guannai in the new year, destroyed a series of decisive battles of Luoyang Wang Shichong, which also took place and began here.
Although the former Tang Dynasty of the old Qianjin Fort has been demolished and abandoned, but after Emperor Chengguang of the Northern Tang Dynasty entered the Luodu, he rebuilt a number of sub-cities and forts in response to the situation near the place, and the long-term garrison was used as the key to the water and land hub of the Gongwei Capital, including this Qianjin Fort.
Therefore, now this Qianjin Fort should be called the "New Qianjin Fort", and it is also the number one important minister of the Northern Dynasty, and the garrison place of the Xuanhui envoy of the Northern Courtyard Su Yuanjing. There are three layers of parapet walls from the inside to the outside, which can accommodate at least 10,000 people.
Because in the first Northern Expedition of the Luodu offensive and defensive battle, the result of the overall surrender of the local Northern Korean garrison was preserved intact after the war, and once became the stronghold and transit place closest to Luodu on the Heluo Plain of those southward feudal domains;
It was not until it was recaptured by the Luodu military horses that had recuperated from the whole spring and summer that it was increased and expanded; Therefore, in this attack, it belonged to one of the few strongholds that did not fall or was abandoned, and it held out until the arrival of the northern army led by Su Yuanjing.
Taking this as a base and starting point, with the cooperation of the defenders in the city, the outflanking attack thwarted the advance of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and recaptured and occupied those strongholds in the north of the city, and rearranged and planned the defensive line.
Therefore, the resistance and counterattack encountered were also extraordinarily fierce and tenacious. You can only use larger-caliber artillery to gnaw away the peripheral defensive facilities such as the women's wall and the sheep and horse wall little by little, and then open the situation with a white soldier assault under the cover of the gun's platoon.
And those who were active on the periphery were not idle, but the remaining enemy troops in the vicinity were also constantly driven over, and annihilated and broken under the city, so as to weaken the morale and fighting spirit of the defenders in the fort.
For Li Xianzhong, who was at the forefront of the battlefield on horseback, his most intuitive feeling was that the times and the way of the world had changed, and as a means of warfare, he had also given birth to such extremely important changes and innovations.
Therefore, after the tempering and integration of training and equipment under the military system with Huaidong characteristics, most of the frontal battlefield means and tactics have been condensed into a simple and classic trilogy of "artillery bombardment, cavalry assault, and infantry occupation".
Compared with the decisive method of cold combat in the past, most of the enemy troops encountered and faced had not had a chance to rush to their close quarters to form a threat, and they had already been defeated and destroyed by heavy casualties, or they were completely annihilated and wiped out in the trying camps that were guarded everywhere.
With sufficient ammunition and supplies, even the enemy formation, which has a numerical advantage or geographical advantage, does not seem to be able to stop their progress for long.
In contrast, the various hard-fought and bloody battles of the central army in the south and the battlefield methods laid out by wisdom and ingenuity all seem to be a little overshadowed and a little unsightly.
During this period of time, as another general who sat in the battle and watched the battle, Liu Yanqing, a model commander of the rear army, only had a certain feeling of happiness and regret;
He was glad that he had made the right choice in the end, and was able to stand in this triumphant array as a leader, not on the other side of the defeated Northern Dynasty, or on the side of the Middle Route Army, which was fighting hard in the city;
It is a pity that although the potential and prospects of the armed forces were discovered very early on, and the relationship was formed, in the end, it was not able to keep up with the pace in time due to the fate of the accident, and lost the opportunity and qualifications as the founder of this new type of group and force with great potential.
Of course, he didn't notice that he, who was born in a prominent military and was supposed to be loyal and loyal to the country, had already subconsciously divided the Huaidong Army and other friendly and enemy armies into three corresponding aspects.
And for me, who is still in the main camp of Kim Yong City, there are a lot of things left.
Before and after this battle, Huaidong can be said to have hemorrhage, and the longer he insists outside, in order to maintain the most basic logistics transportation and support in the rear, it can be said that it is useless to spend money like water.
The soldiers' money, summer and winter gifts, festival rewards, meritorious rewards, and daily expenses in terms of equipment, armaments, construction, livestock, and ships were originally a considerable amount of income, but after the expedition, as the distance of the logistics supply line lengthened, it had to be multiplied several times on this base to meet the needs.
But the things that can be obtained are equally abundant, except for the booty and the captives, which can be seen on the surface;
This kind of overall experience of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people, the coordination and command of large corps, whether as those generals or as a person with the vision and foresight of a traverser, is a rare experience and experience.
After all, the opponents we faced before this were all below the military scale, which has considerable limitations on the vision and pattern cultivated by generals, as well as the subsequent potential.
So it's better to brush up on experience and battlefield dungeons, in addition to running to the meat grinder of the tragic street fighting in the city to find death, I especially encourage them to take turns to fight and fully reflect their personal characteristics and play under the general strategy and framework.
。。。。。。。。。。。
At the same time, in the city of Luodu, curling gray smoke wafted out from the embers of the half-collapsed palace room.
It's just that it was easy to extinguish the fire in the Taiye Pool and Ningbi Pool, which were about to be dried up, and the regular attendants of the Imperial Household Province and the Inner Chamberlain who were mixed with mud and sewage, found themselves facing another bad news, and in the chaos of firefighting, the young Son of Heaven was actually gone.
Missing together are the few chamberlains and palace people who accompany the Son of Heaven every day,
It's just that at this point, they didn't dare to report it to the Generalissimo's Mansion immediately, but privately searched and called around like ants on a hot pot.
They hope it's just an accident like a sudden loss or a loss; After all, in such a big place as the Imperial City, there are many dilapidated and abandoned opponents; And since this son of heaven ascended the throne, he has not left the foreign court and the invasion within a hundred paces, and even the palace garden in his name has not really set foot in it.
However, as they were crushed and buried under the ashes, the corpses of more than a dozen standing guards, chamberlains, and palace maids in the palace were cleaned up, and their last bit of luck was completely shattered.
Because, on these charred black corpses that had been burned by fire, it was difficult to hide the deep and obvious wounds left by being killed with a sword, so everyone present suddenly fell into hell, this sentence is not an ordinary fire or a lost incident, but a premeditated attempt to rob the Son of Heaven.
It's just that at this time, the general who led the team finally made a decision, and all the people present were controlled and tortured, and then reported it quickly, but it had been delayed for a lot of time, so that the clues and traces were drowned in the night, and it became more and more difficult.
And in the Daxing Garden, which is located between the north of Ouchi and the Yuanbi City where the harem is located, several figures who have changed their clothes are also stumbling between the grass and trees that have grown wildly and negligently in management, so that the clothes on their bodies are scraped one by one, and the exposed skin also has blood marks of different lengths.
Suddenly, an old figure fell down, but he gasped and refused to be supported by the rest of the others, but pushed the people who turned back away with all his might, shouting and scolding them to move on.
"Your Majesty"
He muttered to himself, then got up and walked in the other direction.
"This is the last thing the old slave can do for you"
At this moment, he also remembered his adoptive father, who was once the longest-lived eunuch in the palace, and who had served five generations of the Son of Heaven, known as "Fish and Dragon Change", a sentence that Wei Yuewei's husband had said.
"This is the natural duty and destiny of these people who are still in prison."
