Chapter 45: Siege!
However, now, the 10,000 Beiwei Iron Cavalry under Yue Yun was assigned by Su Ming to the generals of the Beiwei Cavalry Regiment.
As a result, a 12,000-strong independent cavalry division was formed!
Although this independent cavalry division is part of the Yuejia Army corps system, it is independent of the Yuejia Army and only obeys Yue Fei's command.
As a result, Yue Yun changed from being in charge of 10,000 back-to-back iron cavalry to being in charge of 10,000 Yuejia soldiers......
This made Yue Yun not in a hurry!
This time, when he encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yue Yun swore that he must let Lord Su Ming see his ability clearly, and then hand over this Beiwei cavalry division to himself to lead!
Su Ming looked at Yue Yun's determined eyes and said with a smile: "Very good, since General Xiao Yue is so confident, then I will let you lead three thousand Beiwei infantry to attack the Daming Palace!"
"I don't need you to capture the Ming Palace in a cup of tea, I just need you to lead the Beiwei infantry to smash the Yellow Dragon, rush all the way into the Qinzheng Palace, and capture Emperor Chongzhen alive!"
"If you can successfully complete the mission, then I will make you the commander of the cavalry division!"
"But—"
Su Ming's words suddenly changed, and his expression became serious: "If you can't succeed, there will be no complete consequences for making a military order, I believe you know better than me!"
"So, do you dare to take this order?"
Yue Yun replied loudly without hesitation: "The last general is willing to take this order and capture the Ming Emperor for your lordship!"
"If you can't complete this life, the last general will come to see you!"
Su Ming looked at Yue Yun with slightly appreciative eyes, and said:
"Very good, he is worthy of being the son of General Yue, and he really lives up to his father's authority!"
"If the mission fails, although you don't have to raise your head to see you, but you don't complete the order, and you will be directly demoted to the squad leader of the Yue Family Army, who is in charge of twelve people!"
However, Yue Yun was not frightened by Su Ming, he confidently bid farewell to Su Ming, and went straight to the camp of the Beiwei Army, personally selecting three thousand elite veterans who had survived a hundred battles.
However, although Yue Yun selected three thousand elites, he did not immediately attack the outer city of the palace, but cheekily went to find Su Ming, hoping that Su Ming could let the artillery provide them with artillery support.
Although Yue Yun was confident that he would be able to lead the Beiwei army to capture the outer city of the palace in one go, the casualties would definitely be very heavy! For the entire Yue family army, the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is negligible, and their bows and arrows cannot penetrate the whole body iron armor of the Beiwei infantry at all, the nearly 100 artillery pieces on the walls of the imperial palace are real!
If they charge directly without the cover of artillery fire, the elite of the three thousand backs will definitely suffer heavy losses under the bombardment of artillery!
Of course, it was impossible for Su Ming to refuse Yue Yun, so he ordered the armored artillery regiment to bombard the walls of the palace and suppress the artillery on the palace with superior firepower!
Of course, the so-called artillery bombardment was with artillery captured from the Dashun army and the city walls of Beijing!
As for the 105mm and 150mm modern howitzers of the armored artillery regiment, after this big battle, the shells of the howitzers have been consumed six or seven out of ten, and the remaining shells are Su Ming's sweethearts, how can they be used here to kill chickens with knives?
As a result, four or five hundred old-fashioned artillery pieces outside the palace opened fire at the same time, and under the cover of hundreds of solid iron bullets, Yue Yun led three thousand elite people carrying the cloud ladder left behind by the Dashun army to attack the palace wall!
Even with antique-level old-fashioned artillery at the same level, the armored artillery regiment with many professional artillery has a hit rate that is obviously more than ten times higher than that of the Ming army, which lacks training all year round!
Under the cover of the fire of the armored artillery regiment, Yue Yun and the three thousand Beiwei infantry easily came to the city wall of the palace, and the number of injured people was less than ten!
Since they have come to the city wall of the palace, it is naturally impossible for the cannons on the wall of the palace to hit it, and it is impossible for the armored artillery regiment to continue firing when it is in danger of its own people.
As a result, the artillery on both sides suddenly stopped.
Then, it's time for the Bearer Army to perform.
Three thousand elite backbones flew up the ladder, but at the time of ten seconds, before the Ming soldiers could react from the shock of the cannon bombardment, the first elite had already climbed the palace wall!
This elite had just climbed the wall of the palace, and a bloody storm suddenly set off on the city wall, and no Ming army was his enemy wherever he passed!
