Chapter 380: Under the Mighty City (2)
After the rain of arrows, the sound of fire guns also sounded sparsely in the Xuanda army. This is in obvious contrast to the volley of 10,000 arrows fired by Jiannu just now, which is not at the distance of the firecracker at all, and can only be as strong as a firecracker.
The Tartar formation was very scattered, and there were large shield carts set in the first line, obviously quite jealous of the Hongyi cannons at the head of the Ming army.
If there is artillery, there will be no siege?
How can it be!
Huang Taiji had followed Nuer Hachi to fight the Battle of Ningjin, and the Tartars had dealt with the Hongyi cannon in Liaodong over the years, so they knew what to do.
At the moment, this sparse formation is the best defense. The Hongyi cannon cannot be fired for a long time, as long as the casualties of each cannon are controlled within an acceptable range.
The city of Beijing is very large, and this Desheng Gate alone has a city wall more than ten miles long, how can the Hongyi cannon cover it all?
Zhang Zhang had a very clear understanding of the situation, he turned his head and said lightly to the wood: "The Tartars can't get in at all!" ”
Mu nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, but the artillery in the city is sharp?" ”
Zhang Zhang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Unless there are five times more Hongyi cannons, you can restrain the Tartars." Now they can't get in, not because of the artillery, but because of the walls. ”
Mu suddenly realized, glanced at the wall battlements, nodded and said, "The city wall of the Jingshi is too high and thick, and the Tartars really have nothing to do." ”
While he was talking, the battle situation under the city changed again.
Huang Taiji took eight small flags from the guards, took out a flag with red borders on a white background, and waved it in the direction of Desheng Gate. In an instant. Ten thousand cavalrymen in white armor rushed towards the Xuan army under the lead of a large white flag, and the other Tartars let out a roar that shook the mountains. With the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves, a murderous aura that is almost suffocating is formed.
Apparently. For the Ming army to dare to go out of the city to fight, Huang Taiji sent his cavalry troops quite confidently.
This battle must be fought by the Jurchen Eight Banners, and the momentum must be played!
The owner of the white flag, Dordor, was the younger brother of Dorgon, and both brothers were the sons of Nuer Hachi Dafu Jin Abahai. Right now, Dorgon is in charge of the white flag, and Dorgon is in charge of the white flag!
At last, the Hongyi cannons on the walls began to wield, and after a rumbling sound, the Tartar cavalry also lost a little-but. That's not enough!
Duoduo obviously also knew that the Ming army's city walls were very long, and the firepower was naturally not as dense as Jinzhou and Ningyuan City, so he was not worried.
In fact, 10,000 cavalry were hit by artillery, and only a few hundred horsemen!
The Jurchen cavalry saw that the artillery of the Ming army was nothing more than this, and when they boarded, they were like a rainbow, and they all fought bravely to be the first, and rushed to the left flank of the Xuan army.
The left flank of the Xuanda army was Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Hou Shilu retreated all the way from Xuanfu. There were only about 10,000 left in the original army of 30,000. Now he also knew that the situation was critical, and there was no choice but to fight hard.
And there is another army on the left flank, which is Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, and his troops are the main force. About 30,000 of them.
The two general soldiers jointly attacked and killed in the dark for a while. The Hongyi cannon at the head of the city lost its effect, after all, it was a melee. It's impossible to mess around**......
Zhang Zhang stared at the battle situation, and an unprecedented sense of shock surged in his heart!
Tuanshan Army. The number of people is still too small.
This kind of large army battle, tens of thousands of people thrown into it will not even be able to drum a bubble......
If it's a positional battle, it can still be fought. The task of defending the city of Beijing, according to the quality of the current soldiers of the Tuanshan Army, it is impossible to defend it without more than 100,000 people.
Unless there is a modern infantry of later generations, then only a few thousand people are needed, and the cold weapons are more or less sent to death - for example, the British and French troops in the Battle of Bali Bridge hung and beat the mites Qing. However, the training level of modern military personnel is very demanding, and you should not even think about it without more than three years of training.
It was only a short moment for Zhang Li to figure it out, and then he smiled bitterly-how to say it in later generations, it seems to be the life of eating gutter oil, and the heart of the "South" Sea......
At present, the base of the Tuanshan Army is only one and a half prefecture-level cities, Jinzhou Wei is counted as one, and Ning Yuanwei can only be counted as half, but he is thinking about beating the Jin country, how can it be?
We have to increase the pace of expanding our strength, and it is not enough to build a base in Liaodong with one knife and one shot, that is too slow!
"My lord, Mr. Wang, ran away—"
Zhang Li was pondering his plan to expand his strength, when suddenly he heard a slightly anxious voice of wood in his ears, and immediately took his thoughts back and hurriedly looked out of the city.
Sure enough, the troops of Hou Shilu, the 10,000 Xuanfu commander-in-chief, had been wiped out, and although he himself was desperately rescued by his subordinates, he was so seriously injured that he only had one breath left.
And Wang Pu's Shanxi army, only half of the 30,000 people remained, and at this moment they are rushing to Desheng's gate!
Zhang Li's brows furrowed, if he didn't take action, Jiannuke would follow him into the city!
However, everyone understands this truth, and since Hong Chengchou "knows the soldiers", of course, he also made a decision at the first time!
Now Jiannu's cavalry is chasing Wang Pu's Shanxi town rout to Deshengmen, and the sound of artillery shaking the ground and shaking the mountains finally sounded on the city wall!
It's the jack of the Furlong cannon!
The range of the Hongyi cannon is two miles, and the range of the thousand-pound furlong cannon is only one mile, but there are a lot of them!
Under the salvo fire of more than 100 thousand-pound Fulong machine guns, whether it was Wang Pu or Duoduo, they were blown up and turned over on their backs, and ghosts cried wolves!
A sharp metal sound sounded behind the Tartar formation, this is the so-called "Mingjin Retreat"!
In this way, Xuan's army finally withdrew to the city, and the Tartars were also eyeing the two miles away.
……
In the military conference hall of Xiaoyue Villa, Zhang Zhang convened the generals to discuss the meeting, and all the senior generals of the Tuanshan Army were present.
In today's battle outside the Desheng Gate, although only Zhang Zhang and Mu were present, the results of the battle were known to everyone. This is equivalent to giving the senior generals of the Tuanshan Army, who are currently slightly inflated, a blow to the head -- it is still very early to defeat Jiannu!
Zhang Li looked at the generals under his command, and saw that they all had solemn faces, and couldn't help laughing: "What, are you scared?" ”
Gao Yuanliang immediately stood up and said loudly: "My lord, we are not afraid!" It's just that the Tartar forces are really too many......"
Zhang Zhang smiled and waved his hand, nodded and said, "There are a lot of Tartars, and there are also a lot of people in my Ming army!" ”
As soon as Zhang Li's words landed, everyone's emotions were immediately aroused again. Yes, now it's not for the Tuanshan Army to defend the huge Beijing city, what's there to be depressed about?
Zhang Zhang glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "This time the defense of Beijing is a battle of the large corps, not a lone battle of our regiment's mountain army!" ”
After a pause, Zhang Zhang said again: "The governor of the three sides, Lu Xiangsheng, Lord Lu was trapped in Zhangjiakou Fort before, and later the Tartars withdrew their troops back to Tongzhou, and the Tianxiong Army under the command of Lord Lu joined the troops of Yansui and other places, and there were about 30,000 of them, and they had arrived in Beijing a few days ago. Others may be greedy for life and afraid of death, but this official knows that Lord Lu can be used as a reinforcement for the Tuanshan army! (To be continued.) )
