Chapter 312: Breaking the City is Hopeful

At the beginning of May, Huang Taiji personally led 300,000 troops to the city of Jinzhou, and attacked the city without saying a word.

It is said that it is a 300,000-strong army, but in fact, it is necessary to divide a few partial divisions to launch a feint attack on Ningyuan and other border forts, contain the Ming army in the city, and prevent them from attacking the main army of Jinzhou Jiancheng on the left and right, and the logistics and transportation should also be protected by some troops, and the main force of the Jin army attacking Jinzhou Jiancheng is actually 150,000 horses.

Huang Taiji chose Jinzhou Jiancheng as the main direction of attack, mainly because there was a mutiny in Jinzhou City, according to the news sent back by the secret spy, the Ming Dynasty that little faint Jun made a big stupid move, carried out a big purge on the nine sides, triggered a mutiny, although it was bloodily suppressed, but tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded, and hundreds of thousands of people were cut, and even many generals in charge of the military power were killed, or transferred, in short, the Ming army soldiers of the entire nine border defense line were laid off 500,000 soldiers, the strength of the army was seriously reduced, and the army was unstable, at this time, not to shoot, when to wait?

In fact, it is also not due to the emperor Taiji does not send troops, there is a shortage of materials outside the customs, the tribes live by grazing, not good at production, but good at destruction and destruction, and the terminally ill Ming is a super fat sheep, every time you can grab countless resources, comfortably spend every winter, so, every year after the spring to commit border robbery has become a celebration of all tribes.

Last year, the border was committed, not to mention the heavy losses, not even a grain of grain could be grabbed, the rear hinterland was stationed on the island of Cao Bianjiao and the Liaodong Navy Division often attacked and harassed, the loss was not small, the Kormi prairie was tossed by the wolf thief group and Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion, Li Xin's Shenji Battalion in turn, stirred into a pot of porridge, in order to compete for pasture, the tribes even fought, the long winter was miserable, and if you don't come out to grab something, God knows if you can survive the long cold winter this year.

Therefore, invading the Ming Dynasty, robbing and getting rich is the trend of the times, blocking the way of people and making money, it is tantamount to killing parents, whoever stands in the way will die, as the Great Khan, Huang Taiji does not dare to block this way of making a fortune, and he has to work hard to lead everyone to get rich together, otherwise the throne of the Great Khan can not sit steadily, and there are many, many people staring at the Supreme Throne, and they will be killed if they are not careful.

The Jin army was invincible in the field, but it was not good at attacking fortifications, and the heavy task of the first round of siege naturally fell on these cannon fodder puppet armies such as the Han army banner, and they were used to consume the ammunition and physical strength of the Ming army.

Huang Taiji's plan is repeated, while feints to attack the city, while secretly digging tunnels to bomb the city, the last time to play this trick almost captured the Shanhaiguan fortified city, after paying for the sweetness, of course, I never forget. In the same way, the guards of the forts and cities on the sides of the Ming army are also cautious about this matter, always listening to the underground movements, and once they find abnormalities, they must carry out anti-excavation and anti-destruction of tunnels.

The cannon under the city of Jinzhou rumbled, the sound of killing shook the sky, the black pressure of the tribal coalition army poured like a tide, behind was the Jin army's artillery bombardment, a solid iron bullet whistling out, flying into the city, crashing some houses, some of them smashed heavily on the city wall, gravel shot, and a few iron bullets hit some unlucky Ming soldiers.

Hong Chengchou stood behind the battlements, holding a monocular to observe the enemy situation under the city, he could also be regarded as a veteran commander who had been in battle for a long time, and he could see at a glance that the Jin army was feintting, so he simply ordered the musketeers to stop firing, and then fight closer, and the artillery suppressed the artillery positions of the Jin army.

As soon as Hong Chengchou did this, the Han army banner, which was acting as cannon fodder, had to continue to charge forward, and the feint attack turned into a strong attack.

"Hold on, hold on, don't panic, just like you usually train, listen to my orders and shoot again." At the head of the city, the officer in charge of the command shouted loudly to calm the nervous soldiers.

After the old army underwent a major reorganization, a large number of soldiers were reduced, and some new recruits were recruited to supplement, and they only received short-term formal training before going to the battlefield, and it was normal to be nervous, and those veterans of the old army were not very nervous, but they were mixed with a lot of vices, and if the situation was not right, it was estimated that they would immediately slip away, forcing Hong Chengchou to order the political work officers to take the supervision team to suppress the formation, and those who escaped from the battle would be cut down.

The artillery observer hid behind the battlement, held a telescope to observe the artillery position of the Jin Army, estimated the distance coordinates, and then reported the data to the artillery of the other side, and the gunner adjusted the elevation angle of the cannon according to the data, and continued to adjust after the test firing until the target was completely locked.

Boom Boom Boom –

After test firing and repeated corrections, the Franc cannons erected on the fort at the head of the city finally roared en masse.

The whistling shells fell on the artillery positions of the Jin army one after another, blowing up clouds of fire and billowing smoke, the gunpowder piled on the ground was detonated, and even more clouds of fire and gunpowder smoke were blown up.

"My great general......" Huang Taiji couldn't help howling in pain, his flesh was hurt by the detonated gunpowder and the damaged general's cannon, not those gunners.

It is no wonder that Huang Taiji and others only have a flesh pain cannon and gunpowder, and there is no gunner who has almost wiped out the whole army with a pain of flesh, they still do not know the advanced theories and tactics of modern artillery, and they do not know how difficult it is to train a qualified gunner if artillery is a technical branch.

After three rounds of salvo fire, more than a dozen Franc machine guns on the head of the city successfully bombarded the artillery positions of the Jin army, which not only relieved the pressure on the soldiers defending the city and boosted their morale, but also hit the morale of the Jin army.

"Listen to me, first platoon prepare, shoot!"

As the besieging Jin soldiers rushed closer and closer, they had already rushed to the moat, and the officer commanding at the head of the city shouted loudly, and the command knife in his hand slashed down.

The musketeers who were waiting for the battle lit the fuse, pointed their guns at the golden soldiers who were pouring in under the city, put their guns in a row of ping-pong, and then obeyed the officer's orders, put away their guns and retreated, loaded their ammunition, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward, stood in front of the wall battlement, followed the officer's command to release their guns, and then put their guns back.

Some recruits who have not received a long time of training are so nervous that they make mistakes in operation, and many veterans of the old army are also touching their guns for the first time, and they are also nervous, they are afraid of exploding, and there are also some mistakes in operation, but fortunately, these actions are the basic subjects of ordinary training, as long as they instinctively obey the commander's orders.

After several rounds of platoon guns were fired, both the new recruits and the veterans of the old army who were afraid of exploding their chambers began to get used to it a little, and the tension or fear in their hearts gradually disappeared, and the mistakes decreased.

After throwing down hundreds of corpses or wounded soldiers, the cannon fodder of the Han army flag that came in like a tide was a feint, but the Ming army defending the city did not shoot, and it was not them who were bombarded by the Fran machine, so they had to run to the city head-on, and finally had an excuse to retreat after eating a few rows of guns.

Huang Taiji, who supervised the battle in front of the battle, lit up his eyes and rushed to the city at once, it seems that the little faint king of the Ming Dynasty has fooled around, and the elite border army has been tossed miserably, and there is hope for breaking the city.

Thank you for the temptation of nonsense, thank you for your support.
