Chapter 63: Huang Taiji's Hindhand
When the sky darkened, more than a dozen shield carts under the southern city crossed the moat, many flintlock muskeil soldiers flashed out from behind the shield carts, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the battlements of the city wall, covering the soldiers who ascended the city, and there were three shield carts equipped with thick ramming rods to hit the city gate, knocking the city gate into sawdust flying, but according to experienced veterans, the city gate must have been piled up with stones, and the crash car actually did not play a big role.
Behind the mountain infantry battalion were the soldiers of the special forces company, who were armed with three short guns, knives, and crossbows in addition to straight rifles, and although they were not many in number, they were actually the main force of the siege
The loud swan sound finally sounded, and the time for the general attack had arrived......
Hearing the sound of suona, many soldiers hanging on the ladder were in high spirits, rubbing their bodies and climbing towards the city, the waiting soldiers also began to climb one after another, the city heard the movement, many voices and shadows came out, ready to block the Ming army to the city, hundreds of firearms under the city suddenly fired, the sound of bursting beans was endless, many archers lay on the battlements, and even died instantly before they could scream, some injured archers struggled to disappear, at this time there were continuous exclamations from the city, and a row of soldiers stepped forward, Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger on the city and smashed the battlements into potholes.
A flintlock battalion soldier took the time to take a dagger and draw a straight line on the butt of the gun, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Lan Xinshi, a military discipline officer who was on patrol, he slapped the soldier's dagger and scolded: "Draw your mother's XX line?" Give me an honest stare at the battlement, and then let me see that you are not concentrating, and Lao Tzu cut you! ”
The soldier didn't dare to reply. Honestly continue to aim.
Yang Bo held the clairvoyant mirror, staring at the city head with some nervousness, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Torches had been lit in some places under the city, and his vision was very blurry, but he hadn't seen the figure at the head of the city shaking for a long time, this phenomenon was a bit abnormal, which made Yang Bo feel suspicious.
In the face of the soldiers who were swarming under the city and trying their best to climb, the Tartars defending the city did not fight back? It's a strange sight to say. Yang Bo's palms began to sweat, and the soldiers of the protective battalion who took the lead had already climbed halfway, and the city was still quiet. Even those panicked coats have disappeared for a long time!
"Order, let the cavalry battalion probe the north gate to see if the Tarslavs are ready to abandon the city and leave?" Yang Bo was not at ease, and gave an order to the Tang Ma beside him.
After the pond horse left. Yang Bo continued to focus on the battlefield. In this kind of siege warfare, Yang Bo did not intend to block the retreat of the Tartars, his purpose was to use Mopan City to consume the strength of Huang Taiji after capturing Fuzhou, and he did not want his well-trained soldiers to sacrifice in the siege of the city.
On a ladder in the middle. A soldier had approached the city, and Yang Bo was very anxious. Staring at his figure deadly, the soldiers under the city saw that their brother was about to climb up, they all let out a tidal wave of cheers, cheers, and were encouraged, the soldier quickened his movements, he rubbed his body and climbed two more squares, because of the heavy iron armor, he stayed at the battlement for a few breaths and then crawled in with a sharp knife!
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers who were paying attention to the city let out a thunderous roar, and countless soldiers waved their weapons and jumped happily.
"Congratulations, sir!"
The young staff officers of the Chinese army all smiled, watching the soldiers behind them follow up and climb over the city one after another, and the commanders of each battalion watching the battle couldn't wait to congratulate Yang Bo.
Seeing more and more soldiers entering the city, and the defenders did not react, Yang Wavechang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say a few words, when he rode a pond horse and galloped over at high speed......
"Dragoon battalion Zhao Long urgently reported that the gate of the northern city was closed, no Tartars went out of the city, and the sentry cavalry had been closely watching."
Hearing Tangma's report, everyone's faces suddenly changed!
Syllable!
The clairspace in Yang Bo's hand fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and a staff officer didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly ran over to pick it up and prepared to hand it to the adult.
At this moment, countless fires suddenly appeared at the head of the southern city, and the smoke of gunpowder rose up, and on the ladder that originally ran through the city, the soldiers in the first few rows stagnated, and the soldiers in the back row did not know what the situation was, and they also stopped.
"The Tartars have an ambush at the head of the city!" Several staff officers with pale faces screamed, many people were scrambling to get plans, and many people looked at Yang Bo at a loss, and standing behind Yang Bo, Liu Bingwen, who was originally smiling, stumbled and ordered the clerk of the Intelligence Department in a panic: "Hurry up and check, how can the defenders in the city have so many firearms?" ”
It was only at this time that the sound of popping beans at the head of the city came from afar!
In the dark, small groups of firelight continued to emerge from the city, those soldiers who had already landed in the city continued to fall, many people were forced back, more people fought in the city, the entire section of the city wall that was originally captured was lost in an instant, and the soldiers who climbed the city were divided into several sections, Yang Bo vaguely saw that many soldiers in iron armor were slashing and killing the soldiers who landed on their own side, and the soldiers of the protective battalion in front of them were almost killed and wounded in an instant, and the blades equipped by the mountain infantry battalion that then landed in the city could not cut through the opponent's iron armor at all!
"I'll let you check, what are you doing here?" Liu Bingwen kicked over a document and scolded.
"Don't check, it's Wuzhen Hachao!" After Yang Bo finished speaking painfully, he folded the clairvoyant mirror in his hand in two sections, the broken glass was held by him, and the sharp glass pierced the palm of his hand, but Yang Bo did not feel any pain.
"My lord, what should I do?" Wang Xiaoyu, the chief of staff, was full of panic, he never expected that the Tatar slaves were actually ambushing Wuzhen Hachao equipped with firearms at the head of the city, and the soldiers who climbed the city were caught off guard by firearms and had no power to fight back, and they were about to be surrounded and annihilated at the head of the city, and the soldiers of the flintlock pistol battalion who had not yet climbed the head of the city did not dare to fire at will.
"Order, withdraw immediately!" Yang Bo's face was full of remorse and waved weakly.
Everyone was shocked, and when the troops retreated, the soldiers who fought with the Tartars at the head of the city would be cut off, but if they did not retreat. I'm afraid that all the soldiers who landed in the city will be surrounded and annihilated in the end.
The atmosphere in the tent of the Chinese military camp was depressing, and many of the chief officers were pale, and no one expected it. The Tatars would have come with such a hand.
"My lord, the intelligence department is not good for investigation, and I ask you to punish ......"
Liu Bingwen knelt on the ground with the people of the Intelligence Division, Wuzhen Hachao appeared here, and the Intelligence Department and the cavalry battalion sent a large number of sentry cavalry to investigate along the way, but they didn't hear a trace of wind beforehand, and this mistake cost the lives of at least more than 200 soldiers!
Yang Bo gasped for breath. Trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, he never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, but he insisted that his IQ was not low. The smooth sailing of these years is proof, but what is ironic is that he actually suffered a big loss in the hands of Huang Taiji twice in a row!
Yang Bo instantly understood that Huang Taiji had long been on guard against his attack on Fuzhou. And time will definitely choose after he leads his troops to the south. Therefore, Huang Taiji will plan the plan, release the wind and take Wuzhen Hachao to the south, but in private, he quietly captured this to the sin barracks, and the well-equipped Han army flag was ambushed in Fuzhou City, and concealed it from everyone, including Sukesa, maybe Sukesa already knows now, but he did not have the opportunity to pass the news back, this ambush army did not show a trace in the fierce siege battle. It was just that when he sent troops to the city, he was given a hard punch!
This is a copy of the offensive and defensive battle of Lushun, let you come up first. Then concentrate the fire and bombard, the soldiers who climbed the city wall had no way to advance, no way back, Huang Taiji replied to him in his way, the contempt was self-evident, Yang Bo thought that he had boasted that he would be able to seize Fuzhou one day, and now it was the most merciless ridicule of himself!
"Get up, now is not the time to hold accountable" Yang Bo glanced at the people in the Intelligence Department who were sincerely frightened, and said to Liu Bingwen.
"Order, implement the emergency retreat plan, let the soldiers at the head of the city cover alternately, retreat from the city, and the artillery battalion adjust the angle to open artillery cover" Yang Bo added coldly: "How much can you retreat, let them not fall in love with the war!" ”
Tang Ma rushed to the battalions to give orders, Yang Bo frowned and walked around the camp with his hands behind his back, he couldn't bear to see the tragic scene at the head of the city, a person from the medical department came over and bandaged his hands with gauze.
"Order, the first flintlock battalion cooperates with the heavy protection battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the rescue battalion to rush to the north gate, this department is besieged by He Jiu as the main officer, and the Rock Brigade besieges the east gate, telling them that not a single Tartar is allowed to go out of the city!"
Yang Bo thought for a while, and then said: "With the new force of Wuzhen Hachao defending at the head of the city, we are afraid that the damage will be too great, and we will implement the second plan!" ”
"Siege overnight?" Wang Xiaoyu asked uncertainly
"Siege the city overnight!"
Yang Bo nodded affirmatively and said: "The Chinese army commands the battalion, goes to the south gate to command, and orders the commanders of each battalion to muster up morale and attack Fuzhou again, and tell them that after capturing Fuzhou, slaughter the city!" ”
At the head of the southern city, countless soldiers raised their heads to pay attention to the fierce fighting above, many soldiers began to retreat hurriedly under the call of the military horn, from time to time someone screamed and fell from the city, slamming on the ground, the killing shouts above lasted for more than half an hour and slowly fell silent, by the light of the fire, the soldiers looked at the back of a burly heavy protection battalion soldier appeared in the city!
"Brother, come down!" Countless anxious voices rang out, and many soldiers raised their flintlock pistols and aimed them at his side.
The soldier took one last look at the people under the city walls, and without hesitation, he jumped from the top of the city......
According to the later count, more than 800 people were mobilized to ascend the city this time, more than 400 people climbed the city first, more than 120 soldiers of the protective battalion were all killed, two companies of the mountain infantry battalion also lost more than 100 people, and only more than 100 people retreated, most of them were flintlock muskemen who were still climbing in the back row.
After a long period of silence, the artillery battalion began to bombard the city with a retaliation, and the logistics battalion was still in full swing to make siege equipment, but now it is mostly shield vehicles, crashing cars and other things, and the battalions take advantage of the battle to treat the wounded, count the equipment, boost morale, eat, and prepare for three hours to continue the attack.
In Fuzhou City, Azig convened everyone to discuss the military situation, and was originally mistaken by the Lushun Intelligence Department for participating in the southern plunder, wearing a white armor and soap-edged Han army flag Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming was all present......
