"Give me all the rush! Be sure to capture Guiyang! ”

Under the cover of machine gunners and artillerymen, two regiments of Sichuan soldiers rushed towards the gap in the city wall that had been blown open, and in the course of the charge, from time to time several soldiers fell on the road because they were shot.

"Fortunately, it seems that the Dian army, like us, did not bring artillery." Looking at the explosion on the city wall, Yang Shan said with some joy.

"yes." Looking at the several 120 and 80 caliber artillery guns that were firing non-stop in front, the chief of staff also said with some rejoicing. "To tell the truth, the individual quality of the soldiers of the Yunnan army is indeed much stronger than ours, if it weren't for the fact that we brought a lot of mortars this time, I'm afraid we would have suffered a lot of losses under this Guiyang City..."

When Yang Shan led the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army to arrive outside Guiyang City, in order to solve the problem in a peaceful way, Tang Jiyao, who was standing on the city wall, had a conversation with Yang Shan under the city. It's just that Yang Shan spent so much time and finally climbed to the foot of Guiyang City, obviously it is impossible to roll back to Sichuan just because of Tang Jiyao's few words. Therefore, in the case of disagreement, the two sides finally decided to solve the problem by force.

Although Yang Shan has never despised the Dian army, to be honest, he has not paid much attention to it. You must know that Sichuan also has a new army, and because of the old feud between the patrol battalion and the Sichuan New Army, Yang Shan also has a relatively intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Division in the mouths of others. Therefore, until the exchange of fire, in Yang Shan's opinion, the strength of the Dian army was only about the same as that of the 3rd Division, and even if it was strong, it would definitely not be too strong. It was only when the two infantry regiments began to charge that Yang Shan realized that his idea was wrong.

Although the firing range of the rifle is usually more than a kilometer, for example, the firing range of the 1888 commission rifle in the hands of the Sichuan army is 2000 meters, but the maximum range and effective firing range have always been two different things, while the effective firing range of the commission rifle and the Hanyang-made rifle is usually about 2, 300 meters...

Of course, it's not that the committee rifle can't shoot people after more than 300 meters, but in the case of more than 300 meters, it is very difficult for the committee rifle to shoot a person, so difficult that even if you shoot, it is likely to be blind...

In this case, many Sichuan soldiers who rushed up were actually shot down at a condition of more than 200 meters, which made Yang Shan feel a little frightened.

Originally, Yang Shan was going to use the dozen mortars later, after all, the things at the bottom of the box always had to be left to the end, but seeing that the soldiers below had to retreat after hundreds of dead and wounded, Yang Shan could only use the bottom of the box in advance.

Fortunately, in addition to the 60-caliber artillery guns with a range of only 1 kilometer, Yang Shan also brought 2 120-caliber and 5 80-caliber guns, which not only made the soldiers of the Dian army on the city wall helpless, but also the powerful shells could easily blow up a section of the city wall within a few rounds...

Therefore, when the seven mortars began to fire in turn, blowing out 5 or 6 gaps in the city wall of Guiyang, under the cover of machine guns and artillery fire, the Sichuan army of the two regiments began to charge at Guiyang.

"Damn, I didn't expect this group of Sichuan troops to actually enter Guizhou with artillery..."Feeling the shock of the city wall under him, and watching the soldiers around him cautiously shoot one by one, Tang Jiyao couldn't help but scold.

Tang Jiyao's 5,000 men and horses were all prepared for the Northern Expedition, so in addition to the two infantry regiments, Cai Ye also equipped Tang Jiyao with a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion. It's just that after hooking up with Dai Huan, in order to rush to Guiyang as soon as possible, Tang Jiyao had already left a battalion of artillery behind when he was still in Yunnan. Originally, he thought that the Sichuan army was the same, after all, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan and other places are notoriously difficult to walk, and they will definitely not be able to go fast with heavy artillery, but he didn't expect...

"General, what should I do now?" Looking at the cannonball that hit the city wall and went to the sky with 5 or 6 lives, Ren Kecheng, who came up to discuss things with Tang Jiyao, said with a little trembling. For this literati who had never seen such a scene, the current scene seemed to be a little more exciting.

"Mr. Ren, please rest assured." After glancing at Ren Kecheng coldly, Tang Jiyao continued to observe the battle situation. "Although I didn't expect the Sichuan army to enter Guiyang with artillery, it is not so easy for them to attack Guiyang." Just like Tang Jiyao said, although the mortar shells of the Sichuan army have blown up many gaps, there will naturally be soldiers from the Dian army to fill them, so it is not easy for the Sichuan army to storm into the city.

"But..."

However, Tang Jiyao didn't pay attention to Ren Kecheng, who was still trembling, and just said to Liu Xianshi. "Brother Zhou, you go down right now and take people to the streets and alleys in the city to set it up."

"In the city?" Liu Xianshi was a little surprised.

"That's right, in the city." Tang Jiyao nodded. Although he told Ren Kecheng that it was not so easy for the Sichuan army to enter the city, this did not mean that the Sichuan army could not enter the city. And since the Sichuan army came with artillery, it would be a fool's errand to stay on the city wall and be bombed all the time.

"However, there are no fortifications available in the city, if you withdraw like this, I am afraid that you will be killed by the Sichuan army, it seems that you must hold on until Liu Xianshi and they have arranged some of the fortifications before they can slowly withdraw..."Thinking so, Tang Jiyao said to an officer on the side. Together with Lord Liu, you will go to the streets and other places in the city to set up fortifications. Tang Jiyao didn't want to retreat, and found that those so-called fortifications were all tofu scum projects.

"Understood."

"Then Brother Zhou, all the fortifications will be entrusted to you..."

"General, don't worry, I will do my best." After speaking, Liu Xianshi said to the officer on the side. "I'll leave it all to my brother in a moment."

After Liu Xianshi and the officers went down, Tang Jiyao said to Ren Kecheng, who was still trembling there. "Mr. Ren, it's very dangerous here, you better go down...", without waiting for Ren Kecheng to respond, he motioned to the two personal soldiers around him to take him down.

Although he was carried down, maybe Ren Kecheng was still very grateful in his heart, after all, his legs were also shaking, and it was likely that he would not be able to go down by himself at all...

"General, do you want to go down too..."Seeing that Ren Kecheng was being carried down, an officer on the side said.

"No, you don't." Tang Jiyao shook his head. "The Sichuan army's cannon is a bit strange, and the trajectory is a bit similar to that of a mountain artillery, so as long as you don't get hit directly, there is no problem..." Tell the brothers to hold out for a while, and when the city is finished, we can retreat..."

"Understood."
