30,000 people against 35,000 people, Jinzhou City instantly became lively.

Jinzhou City is an important town in eastern Liaoning, the Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to it, after three expansions, the current Jinzhou City, the north wall is 1,0065 meters, the west wall is 820 meters, the south wall is 520 meters, the east wall is 750 meters, the circumference of the four walls is 3,155 meters, and the whole city covers an area of about 1,000 acres.

The south gate of Zheng's army is called the South Gate Yong'an, and there are three other city gates in Jinzhou, which are called the East Gate Ningyuan, the West Gate Guangshun, and the North Gate Zhenbei.

Within the area of 1,000 acres, more than 60,000 people were crowded to fight, and the tragedy of the battle was predictable.

The 30,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army who invaded Jinzhou City, relying on the power of the Mauser gun, occupied the absolute upper hand in the initial battle, and the Eight Banners Army mainly relied on bows and arrows and knives and guns, which obviously could not resist the Mauser gun.

However, there are too many uncertainties in the fight in the city.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He originally expected that after the soldiers of the Zheng family army entered the city of Jinzhou, the Eight Banners Army was likely to withdraw from the west gate and go to Ningyuan, the east gate and the north gate had been firmly guarded by the remaining 20,000 soldiers of the Zheng army, and the losses from here must be extremely heavy, but the two did not expect that Tan Tai, who was stationed in Jinzhou, gave the order to defend the city of Jinzhou twice, and did not talk about the evacuation at all.

When the battle lasted until noon, Zheng Jinhong and Yang He both understood that the Eight Banners Army in Jinzhou City would not withdraw in a short period of time, and they were afraid that they would have to defend and fight for a long time, relying on the houses in the city to defend and fight, and the Eight Banners Army in the city must be looking forward to support in the direction of Ningyuan.

Zheng Jinhong decisively issued another order, and dispatched 10,000 Zheng family soldiers stationed outside the city to participate in the battle in the city, so that as many as 40,000 Zheng family soldiers participated in the battle.

This order was given by Zheng Jinhong. In fact, it is a bit risky, Songshan Castle south of Jinzhou, stationed 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, Songshan Castle is only more than 30 miles away from Jinzhou, in addition to Xingshan Castle, there are also 10,000 Eight Banners Army. It is only more than 50 miles away from Jinzhou, and 20,000 people of the Eight Banners Army in these two places are dispatched to rush to the aid of Jinzhou City, so the front army will suffer tremendous pressure.

Street fighting is one of the key subjects of Zheng Jiajun's training, when Zheng Xunrui proposed that Zheng Jiajun should carry out street fighting training, Zheng Jinhong and Yang He and others still did not understand, in their opinion, the most important thing for Zheng Jiajun is the training of soldiers, if it were not for Zheng Xunrui personally supervised. Zheng Jiajun almost ignored the training for street fighting.

At this moment, Zheng Jinhong and Yang He finally understood Zheng Xunrui's hard work and felt Zheng Xunrui's vision.

Zheng Xunrui summarized the characteristics of street fighting in three aspects: large casualties, long time, and many accidents.

Street battles are carried out in the city, and the double anti-reverse is a fight on the ground, because of the characteristics of the city. Mainly foot soldiers, when fighting and killing. The two anti- If there is no special training on weekdays, the sudden street fighting will cause heavy losses to the attacker.

However, the officers and men of the Zheng family army have been trained in systematic street fighting.

And the weapons of attack are rockets and Mauser guns.

Street battles are fought in a team of 100 people, avoiding separate battles in a team of 100 people. There are sergeants who specialize in throwing rockets, sergeants who specialize in shooting, and sergeants who prevent sneak attacks by opponents, and the purpose of team attacks is also very clear, that is, to eliminate the opponents in every house, and to be sure to kill them all.

When attacking, the team of 100 should also take care of each other, mainly to prevent opponents from rushing out from other places.

Don't advance too fast, don't be in a hurry, conquer house by house, the purpose of street fighting is very simple, that is, to kill the opponent to the greatest extent and minimize your own casualties.

The officers and men of the Zheng family army strictly followed the training on weekdays and launched street battles in Jinzhou City.

This is probably something that Tan Tai never dreamed of.

Comparatively speaking, the Eight Banners Army, which is accustomed to field combat, is not familiar with street fighting at all, they are used to charging and fighting, even when they are fighting in the street, they are not very willing to wait in the house, relying on the house to resist the opponent, after the fight begins, most of them rush out of the house and start a face-to-face fight with the soldiers of the Zheng family.

It's a pity that their flesh and blood can't resist the Mauser gun at all, and the bows and arrows in their hands can't have the fast attack speed of the Mauser gun.

What's even more fatal is that Tan Tai is simply unable to fully command the 35,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City.

The dense gunfire in the city became the mainstream of the battle.

A team of nearly 400 to 100 soldiers formed by the Zheng family army was divided into four directions: east, west, north and south.

Many times, the team of 100 people faced the charging Eight Banners sergeants, and the Mauser guns in their hands became the main weapons, and with the sound of gunfire, many charging Eight Banners sergeants fell to the ground instantly, and they didn't even have a chance to fight.

The casualties of the soldiers of the Zheng family army were not small, mainly the bows and arrows shot by the Eight Banners Army.

The space for street fighting is small, and the bows and arrows that come over a lot of time are dense, and it is also difficult to dodge.

The front army of the Zheng family's army, which had an advantage in numbers and tactics, gradually began to control the rhythm of the battle.

The smell of blood in Jinzhou City is getting stronger and stronger, the streets and houses, there are corpses everywhere, this battle, Zheng Jinhong and Yang He have issued an order, Zheng Jiajun do not take prisoners, these prisoners can not be placed, the front army has more important battles, and the prisoners will become a great famine.

Therefore, the battle was carried out without mercy, and regardless of whether the soldiers of the Eight Banners surrendered or not, they would be killed.

This is very cruel, and it will also inspire the Eight Banners Army to resist desperately, but there is no way to do it.

Tan Tai finally realized that something was wrong.

After the street fighting began, his command slowly began to fail, 35,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army were scattered in many camps and houses, and there were constantly heralds coming to report, and many places in the east, west, north and south could not resist the attack of the Zheng family's army, Tan Tai continued to send out the sergeants in the barracks, and at this time, whether it was the soldiers of the Eight Banners or the Eight Banners of Mongolia, they had to participate in the battle, and if they continued to retain their strength, they would not be able to save their lives in the end.

The battle lasted for a long time, Tan Tai noticed that it was not the small group of Zheng Jiajun who was attacking, judging from the continuous reporting of the heralds, the total number of Zheng Jiajun sergeants who attacked was not less than the Eight Banners Army stationed in Jinzhou City, and the Eight Banners Army stationed outside had no reaction so far, which showed that they did not dare to attack the Zheng Family Army who was still outside the city.

The losses are getting bigger and bigger, and according to the situation reported by the heralds, the losses of the Eight Banners Army in the city are afraid to exceed 10,000 people.

Tan Tai was a little hesitant and became undecided, whether to order the army stationed in Jinzhou City to evacuate, or continue to insist on fighting, faintly, Tan Tai thought of something, but he couldn't be sure.

The South Gate, the North Gate and the East Gate were all lost, and the only one that was controlled by the Eight Banners Army was the West Gate, if the West Gate was also out of control, then all the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army would fall into Jinzhou City, 35,000 people, such a huge team, if the whole army was destroyed, Tan Tai would not think about evacuating.

The strategists around Tan Tai had already made suggestions several times, imploring Tan Tai to give an order to evacuate Jinzhou City.

Tan Tai was still hesitating, it was not dark yet, evacuated at this time, if the Zheng family army guarding outside the city suddenly attacked, wouldn't the loss be greater, he secretly made up his mind to evacuate when it was dark.

In the middle of summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and every minute that lasts, the losses of the Eight Banners Army are even greater.

Some of the Eight Banners sergeants had collapsed, and there were often galloping Eight Banner Sergeants on the streets, who were quickly hit by Mauser guns and fell to the ground without moving.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army are more and more courageous, when they face the Eight Banners Army, they already occupy a psychological advantage, and the Eight Banners Army has no experience in street fighting, so that the battle tends to be one-sided, more and more soldiers of the Eight Banners Army were killed, but the losses of the officers and men of the Zheng family army are not very large, so if it continues, at most two to three days, the front army will be able to completely wipe out the Eight Banners Army stationed in Jinzhou City.

The experience of fighting in a team of 100 people is becoming richer and richer, the cooperation between the soldiers is tacit, and the cooperation between the team is also becoming more and more tacit.

Yang He, who was in charge of commanding the operation, had already made up his mind to basically kill the Eight Banners Army stationed in Jinzhou City, and the soldiers of the Zheng Family Army who entered the city to fight had reached 40,000 people, surpassing the Eight Banners Army in the north of the city, and the Zheng Army had a huge advantage in street fighting.

The sky gradually darkened, and the night was Zheng Jiajun's world.

The order given by Yang He became more and more clear, the night could not stop the attack, continue to attack, the city was already in flames, even if it was invisible, holding a torch to continue the battle.

It's just a team of 100 people who are attacking, and they have a proper rest, some of the soldiers hurry up to eat and replenish their strength, and the other part of the soldiers continue to attack, and the meals are also crossed, anyway, there is one guarantee, that is, the attack cannot be stopped.

The sound of gunfire and rocket explosions remained intense.

Yang He has already made a suggestion to the commander Zheng Jinhong, the only thing controlled by the Eighth Banner Army is the West Gate, and at this moment the artillery battalion can aim its guns at the West Gate, once the Eight Banners Army withdraws from the West Gate on a large scale, the artillery bombardment will be fully rolled out.

Zheng Jinhong also issued an order, ordering all the artillery muzzles to be aimed at the west gate of Jinzhou. (To be continued.) )
