Chapter 1374 Young and frizzy The art of war is frivolous
The words are very clear, this night the people from Liaodi want to make a preparation, and there is no way to inform Zhao Jiajun's people in advance, their actions were noticed by Zhao Jiajun, naturally they will not understand in good faith, but secretly be on guard, I am afraid that there are people outside who are wary of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and there are special people inside to guard against them, if they really want to move, I am afraid that they have not explained their intentions, and they will be killed first.
"It's really old, let's just listen to the order, don't worry too much!" Before going to bed, there was a sigh here.
Not only do I know the night arrangement, but I also know that I am staring at the instability factors inside, and I don't have to worry too much about it.
The commotion in the night was more than this time, each time it started with a noise, the explosion of firearms as the climax, and ended quietly, after four back and forth, it was completely quiet, and after making sure that the night raid could not make any money, the Jianzhou Jurchens would not consume soldiers and horses in such vain, and if they failed again and again, their morale would become more and more low.
As soon as the morning dawned, when the entire camp began to be prepared, Chen Jisheng asked someone to report to Chen Sheng, he wanted to ask to see, and the misunderstanding last night must be clarified, otherwise this suspicion accumulated, I am afraid that there will be big trouble.
"You are not familiar with the rules of Zhao Jiajun's military law, such a thing is a misunderstanding, I will arrange someone to explain it to you, and if you commit it again after knowing the rules, then there will be no shame."
Treating the surrendered side, and in such a wartime, or making heartfelt affection, or taking heavy precautions, to be safe, Chen Jisheng didn't expect Chen Sheng to speak so businesslikely, and he didn't doubt it, but he didn't deliberately win it over, that is, the rules are like this, so let's do it.
This kind of treatment made Chen Jisheng and others a little uncomfortable, but after going back and thinking about it, this seems to be the simplest.
Fuzhou City and Jinzhou City are both small cities, but after all, they are cities, and it is impossible for Chen Sheng to surround them with thousands of soldiers and horses this time, so the front of the main attack is the direction of the west gate of the city.
Everyone from Liaodi was arranged in a better position, and Zhao Jiajun did not hide it from them, after all, this kind of watching the battle and watching the battle could make them familiar with Zhao Jiajun's tactics as soon as possible.
It was inconvenient to start the attack from the west in the morning, but it was inconvenient to look directly at the sunlight coming from the east, but there were still many details that could be seen.
"There is smoke and water vapor at the head of the city, and there should be boiling oil and boiling water here, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in attacking hard."
"The Tartar bow and arrow are not bad, if you really want to pass, I'm afraid there will really be a rain of arrows to serve."
People from Liaodi sighed while observing, if you want to take down such a well-guarded city, it will cost a lot of money, I don't know how Zhao Jiajun will do it?
They were discussing that the Zhao army had already begun to move, first marching out of the camp with infantry and light artillery, preparing in front of the city, and establishing an offensive position, and then the heavy artillery began to settle under the traction of cattle, horses and manpower.
There is no artillery on the wall of Fuzhou City, and the offensive position of the Zhao family army is also three hundred steps away from the nearest part of the city wall, this distance makes the Jurchen defenders at the head of the city desperate, they do not have any weapons to hit this position, they can only watch the Zhao family army's artillery fall into position, as if the noose around the neck is gradually tightened.
For Zhao Jiajun's heavy artillery of more than 12 pounds, the distance of 300 paces is the same as that of a firearm shooting within 50 steps, which can completely guarantee the approximate accuracy.
After the loading was completed, the shells of the four sixteen-pounder guns fell on the northwest corner of the city wall of Fuzhou City, after the deafening noise, the northwest corner had been collapsed, and the city head was panicked and noisy, according to this speed of bombardment, I am afraid that there will be a few more rounds, then the northwest corner will be directly opened the gap, into a slope that can be climbed, and then the city wall will not have the slightest obstruction.
Several of the heavy guns of the Zhao family army were simply reset, and then they opened fire again, and the corners of the city wall collapsed even more.
"If the general cannon and the general cannon want to hit the position of Fang Cai after a cannon, I am afraid it will take a long time, but this Xuzhou artillery is only a moment, and this firearm is really sharp." Someone couldn't help but sigh and said.
"The gates of the Tartars are open, and they are going out to fight!" Someone shouted, you can already see the rapid reduction of the Jianzhou soldiers on the head of the city below, and you can't prevent it there, so you can only go out of the city to fight.
The Zhao family army divided a regiment to meet it, with hundreds of guns and three three-pounder guns, and this regiment would not suffer in the face of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses who went out of the city.
"Why did the Tartars send out such a small number of people, isn't this a food delivery?" Chen Jisheng and the others looked over, and the result was that the number of Jianzhou Jurchens was less than two thousand, and the Zhao family army outside the city was close to six thousand, and the firearms were fully equipped.
"A team of Tartars has fled!" Another person shouted that the Zhao family army was okay, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses they had encountered since the landing were not stronger than the Ming army, but these people from the Ming army were dumbfounded, although they saw the retreat of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses under the city of Jinzhou, but it was a retreat, and the establishment was still there, but now they are actually fleeing from the battle.
It turns out that the Tartars are also afraid! It turns out that the Tartars are also going to escape! Chen Jisheng and others had mixed sorrows and joys on their faces, their own performance in front of the Tartar soldiers and horses was the same as the performance of the Tartar soldiers and horses in front of the Zhao family's army.
Over there, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses have been engaged in battle with the Zhao family's army, as soon as the two sides come into contact, the fire gun will split the head and cover the face to fight out, after a few battles, everyone knows this routine, but there is no way to dodge, to fight always close, the range of the bow and arrow is not as far as the fire gun, and the killing is not as big as the fire gun, often the first to knock out is the archer, and then the fire gun can also play another round, the team will be hit hard, and then next, the spear and the halberd will come to the front, the armor is protective, the long soldier kills, the same is incomprehensible.
And the Jurchen soldiers and horses who went out of the city to block did not have the slightest military morale, and after the volley of firearms, it immediately collapsed.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers from Liaodi were speechless, and even the Third Regiment of the First Brigade, which was preparing to fight a tough battle, was stunned before they began to pursue and capture the prisoners.
At this time, Chen Jisheng suddenly reacted: "The Tartar brigade has fled out of the city, and now it is an empty city!" ”
It was not only Chen Jisheng who reacted, when he shouted out loud here, Zhao Jiajun already had a regiment rushing towards the city gate, although the city gate was closed, but this was indeed strange.
The cannon roared incessantly, and several of the guns had begun to withdraw from the artillery position, and after putting on the oxen and horses, the soldiers pushed towards the city gate.
At this time, it was already possible to step on the collapsed ruins and attack the city directly, but the tactics of the Zhao family army were more secure, and the three-pounder cannon and six-pounder cannon began to move to the corner of the city wall.
If the defenders want to plug the gap at this time, or prepare to block it in this gap, the first thing to bear is this artillery fire, no one can think that Zhao Jiajun's firearms are so fast, and they can adjust the angle and direction of fire so quickly, and when this round of killings is over, it is to charge in front with firearms, which is also difficult to block.
There was no one in the gap, and the company that commanded the artillery bombardment kept an eye on it, and did not open fire intensively regardless of it, and after the first round, it was deliberately stopped, but still no one came out, and there was no reaction from the city, and there was no commotion, exclamation, and screaming in the past, and suddenly it was quiet.
More certain news came back from the city gate battlefield, "There are no defenders in the city, and the defenders have fled from the north gate", the reason why I got this news is because those who left the team first have taken the initiative to surrender, and everything has been said in 1510.
Fleeing without a fight? This news made Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and other people from Jinzhou sigh, thinking that they could have gathered and annihilated them and destroyed these blood-ridden Tartars, but they still didn't expect the Tartars' thoughts, they thought that they were wild and bloodthirsty, and they would fight to the last person in such a situation, but they didn't expect to escape so quickly.
Thinking about this, I feel that it is a pity and helpless, the thousands of Zhao Jiajun are strong, but the maneuver is poor, and the effect of the pursuit of the foot soldiers is always not good, not to mention that it is impossible to catch up with the other party across a city.
"After catching hundreds of Tartars, the Zhao family army can do anything, let's do this beheading and beheading business!" Liu Xingxian said excitedly, the officers and soldiers from Liaodi gritted their teeth one by one, for them, it was really a grudge against the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they could kill ten more.
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting over there: "Our Haixi Yehe people's hearts are towards Daming, and the dog cubs of Jianzhou Aixin Jueluo are not the same heart, we are loyal, we are loyal, and we are willing to follow Daming to fight Jianzhou." ”
Many people heard this shout, and there were bursts of laughter in the queue of the Zhao family, and everyone from Jinzhou was inexplicably speechless, it turned out that these Tartars would also surrender.
The dispatch of the first brigade of the Zhao army was not affected by this episode, and a company rushed to the city, and the city of Fuzhou was really empty, and soon the city gate was opened, and the team of the Zhao army entered the city.
"The second regiment is stationed at the port, the third regiment and the fourth regiment are stationed in Fuzhou City, and the first regiment pursues the fleeing enemy!" Chen Sheng's order was issued, and the regiments began to move.
Chen Jisheng and the others in the team also heard this order, and they all sighed and shook their heads at each other, they were already so far apart that they couldn't catch up, especially when maintaining the formation.
*********
The soldiers and horses of Jianzhou who withdrew from Fuzhou City each carried two days' dry rations, although the storage in Fuzhou City was sufficient, but in a hurry they could only prepare so much, more than 2,000 local defenders, nearly 7,000 soldiers and horses withdrawn from the defeat of Jinzhou, more than 6,000 are withdrawn now, the disabled who can't be taken away, and the side stragglers who can't take care of it, these more than 6,000 are counted as the backbone.
