readx;? Chen Yansu's gaze fell on the general and said, "Get up and speak." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The general said in a trembling voice: "General"

"I'll let you get up and speak!" Chen Yansu accentuated his tone and said in a deep voice.

The general hesitated for a moment, but then stood up, his eyes glazed and his head lowered.

Chen Yansu looked at the generals, then at the rest of the generals, and said expressionlessly: "If you say something like this, no one is allowed to say anything in the future, otherwise, I will not show mercy to the military law." ”

The soldiers under his command have no fighting spirit at all, how can Chen Yansu, as the commander of the whole army, not see it?

But the First Legion was the Garrison Army, the Guards around the Son of Heaven. The generals of the First Legion and their families are all in Tianjing City, once there is a change, one is counted as one, and no one can escape.

Knowing that this battle would be lost, the First Army had to fight hard.

Hearing Chen Yansu's words, everyone present looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

At noon, it was close to the time of the meal, and the rumbling sound of the cannon gradually weakened.

Chen Yansu, who was sitting in the gate tower of the inner city wall, was shocked, and his eyes narrowed.

When the wind army launched a non-stop artillery bombardment, he only hoped that the wind army's shelling would stop, and when the wind army's shelling stopped, he hoped that the wind army's shelling would continue.

The cessation of the shelling can only indicate that the infantry of the Wind Army is ready to go into battle, and the Wind Army is about to begin a real assault on Tianjing.

Chen Yansu slowly raised his head and looked at the watchtower set up on the outer city wall. Time passed minute by minute, and he had never felt that time had passed so long.

I don't know how long it took, but there were small red flags waving back and forth on the watchtower, which was a warning signal.

After looking at it, Chen Yansu took a deep breath, the wind army was still attacking! He stood up from his chair and shouted to the people around him: "All generals obey orders!"

The "generals" came back to their senses, knelt down on one knee one after another, and intervened and said: "General, the brothers have no fighting spirit and are no longer able to fight......

Before the people could finish speaking, downstairs at the city gate, someone sang loudly: "General Liang has arrived!"

General Liang, everyone subconsciously got up one after another, looked down at the city gate, and saw that the street in front of the city gate tower was densely packed with soldiers.

The dress of these soldiers is not the same as that of ordinary Ningnan soldiers, one by one they wear helmets and armor, burqas and belts, and as far as the eye can see, the steel armor is like a forest, and the silver light is full.

On the battlefield of firearms, the armor has basically become a useless thing, that is, it cannot block the firearms, let alone the artillery, and the weight is heavy, which greatly increases the burden on the soldiers and soldiers, and it is no longer suitable for the needs of the battlefield.

Fengguo and Ningnan have already canceled the equipment of battle armor one after another, and the Ningnan army in front of them is still wearing such armor, because they are not the central army, but the capital guard battalion.

The escort battalion did not belong to the central army, but directly belonged to the Son of Heaven, and they did not need to go to the battlefield to fight, nor did they need to march long distances, so the helmets and armor did not affect them.

In addition, the guard battalion is the face of the Beijing troops, and it needs to be dressed more majestic to show the royal solemnity and face.

The commander of the capital guard battalion is named Liang Ying, and it is he who is walking up the steps now.

Liang Ying walked up to the city gate tower and saw that Chen Yansu and the generals of the First Army were there, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "The last general has seen General Chen!"

As far as the military rank is concerned, Liang Ying's rank is not high, only from the third rank, of course, it is not as good as the commander of the first army.

Chen Yansu waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and he asked puzzledly: "General Liang is no longer stationed in the inner city, why did he come to the outer city?"

Liang Ying smiled and said, "In accordance with His Majesty's order, the last general will bring all the soldiers of the guard battalion to the outer city to help General Chen Lao help him resist the strong enemy!"

Chen Yansu is a veteran, a little bit of it, after listening to Liang Ying's words, the old man also understood in his heart, this is His Majesty is not worried about the First Army, and the special escort battalion came over to be the supervisor.

Before he could answer, Liang Ying seemed to think of something again, and said with a smile: "Also, General Chen's mansion and the mansions of your generals, my guard battalion has been properly protected in accordance with Your Majesty's wishes, and will never let the Fengguo in the city take advantage of the loopholes, General Chen and the generals can fight at ease on the front line, and there is no need to worry about the future!"

His words made the faces of Chen Yansu and everyone present change. The guard battalion, one of the directly subordinate armies of the Son of Heaven, has always protected the Son of Heaven, and now he is protecting his family, saying that it is protecting, but in fact it is coercion, which is really chilling.

Chen Yansu was stunned for a moment, smiled indifferently, bowed to Liang Ying, and said, "Trouble General Liang." ”

"General Chen is not polite, everyone is dedicated to the country, wholeheartedly for the king, if the last general does something inappropriate, I hope that General Chen and the generals will be more responsible. ”

General Liang was polite. ”

As he spoke, a high-pitched shout came from the watchtower on the outer city wall: "The Wind Army has begun to attack"

Tianjing City has two layers of inner and outer city walls, the outer city wall is twelve meters high, the inner city wall is built according to the specifications of the ordinary city wall, nine meters high, between the inner and outer city walls, there are about fifty meters apart, standing on the inner city wall, can not directly see the outside of the city.

Hearing the shouting, Liang Ying's eyes flashed, he first raised his eyes and looked at the outer city wall, on the head of the outer city wall, there was not a single soldier, all the soldiers hid in the fifty-meter gap between the inner and outer city walls.

He roughly looked at the situation on his own side, didn't say anything, just turned his eyes and looked at Chen Yansu quietly.

The old man's eyes were lowered, and he stood in place, not moving, and did not give the order to meet the enemy. Seeing this, Liang Ying frowned imperceptibly, and slowly lowered the hand behind his back.

Just as he was about to raise his hand and touch the sword under his side, Chen Yansu suddenly spoke: "Order the third, fourth, and fifth corps, all of them to go to the outer city wall to meet the enemy army!"

The third, fourth, and fifth corps are all his cronies, and they are also the three most powerful corps of the First Corps.

"Yes! General!" The herald of the city gate tower waved the handsome flag and conveyed Chen Yansu's military order.

Liang Ying, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a brisk tone: "There are only 130,000 wind troops, but they want to storm the capital, today Old General Chen wants to teach the wind army a lesson, so that the wind people can understand what it means to not know whether to live or die!"

Chen Yansu ignored him, turned around and walked to the handsome chair, unsheathed his saber, held the saber in both hands, and sat down steadily.

Liang Ying was bored, but he didn't mind, he leaned out from the city gate tower, waved his hand outside, and the 20,000 soldiers of the capital city guard battalion standing on the street all climbed the inner city wall, took off the musket on his shoulder, and set it on the arrow stack.

The muzzles of their guns were not aimed at the Wind Army, and they could not see the Wind Army, but they were aimed at the soldiers of the three corps who had climbed the outer city wall.

Their actions were also tantamount to clearly telling the soldiers of the First Legion that they were not here to help, but to be the overseers, and if anyone dared to flee from the battlefield on the battlefield, they would not be killed by the Wind Army, and the guard battalion located on the inner city wall would shoot them first.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Corps of the 1st Army, totaling 30,000 men, climbed the outer city walls. On the outer city, there is no need to look for bunkers, there are no bunkers at all, all the arrow stacks have been blown away, and the walls are full of potholes and bare.

Looking out, the artillery positions of the Wind Army continued to move forward, and countless artillerymen, bare-chested, pushed the artillery forward together, and in front of the artillery positions were the infantry of the Wind Army advancing up.

It is not the same as the infantry advancing in the traditional formation, at this time, the advance of the wind army, the soldiers are completely scattered, it seems that there is no formation at all, it is completely scattered, but it is scattered but not chaotic, and the advance and retreat are orderly.

The officers and men of the Ningnan Army looked at each other, they had long been accustomed to the tactics of the legion array advancement, and now the wind army did not stand in the array and advance, and did not play cards according to common sense, they were all quite at a loss, and they could not adapt.

It is true that the First Army Corps is the most elite corps in the Central Army of Ningnan, but it is also true that they have been fighting in Beijing for many years, far away from the battlefield, and their combat thinking is backward.

When the two armies meet in a narrow way and confront each other head-on, it is useful to advance in formation, and the officers and men of the whole army will advance and retreat together in life and death, and they will be invulnerable and invulnerable.

In the case of attacking the fortified position, the casualties are too large if the formation is advanced and the position is concentrated, while the scattered advance can greatly reduce the casualties of the own side.

The commanders of the three corps have never seen such a way of advancing, but after all, they are carefully selected and fierce generals, and they can all calm down.

The three corps commanders gave the order almost simultaneously to carry the artillery under the city.

There is no centralized position, there is no need to maintain the queue order, the advance of the wind army is extremely fast, looking out of the city, the black pressure of the wind army is really like a tide rushing towards it.

"Reload, prepare for battle!" each of the three corps commanders gave orders to their subordinates.

Seeing that the wind army that was rushing in front had entered within 100 meters of the city wall, the three corps commanders shouted loudly at the same time: "Open fire"

Bang bang bang

As the order was delivered, the sound of shooting on the top of the city was continuous, and the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

The wind army outside the city also reacted quickly, looking for the nearest bomb crater to hide, people lying in the crater, trying to reduce their own attack area, and at the same time set up fire guns and muskets to return fire on the Ningnan army at the head of the city.

On the battlefield, the firearms come and go, and the swishing sound of projectiles flying in the air is loud. Many of the Wind soldiers fell into the crater, and the people could no longer stand up, and even the helmets they wore were almost beaten into sieves.

On the other hand, on the head of the city, there are also Ningnan soldiers who are shot, screaming and wailing and falling from the city, and when they fall to the ground, there is a muffled sound of banging.

It didn't take long for the artillery of a gate to be carried up to the city by the Ningnan army, and the city was full of potholes, and the artillery could not be placed at all.

It's easier said than done. All their movements were exposed to the sight of the wind army outside the city, and they were also exposed to the guns of the wind army.

Often, in the end, the walls were not flattened with planks and stones, but with the corpses of people.

As the Wind Army got closer and closer to the city wall, many Wind Army troops began to place mortar cannons in front of the city.

Located near the city gate tower, the commander of the Third Corps was directing the soldiers under his command to fight, and suddenly, only two meters away from him, suddenly there was a loud bang, and a mortar shell exploded on the head of the city.

A battalion lieutenant next to him was killed on the spot, and his own left arm was hit by shrapnel, and he grunted in pain, and the man shook repeatedly.

Seeing this, the soldiers around the "general" hurriedly stepped forward and supported him. q11

He looked at his injured arm, waved his hand to his subordinates, and said, "It's okay!" He turned his head to look out of the city, and said in a deep voice: "The mortar cannon of the Wind Army is powerful, first concentrate on attacking the mortar cannon of the Wind Army......"

Before he could finish his sentence, two more shells exploded nearby. He and more than a dozen soldiers around him were all knocked to the ground by the air waves. The people were blown to ashes and screamed at him: "General, the fire of the wind army is too fierce, let's go to the city gate tower and hide!"

The commander of the third corps raised his eyes and looked outside, only to see that outside the city, the wind army had already arranged as many as fifteen or sixteen mortars, constantly loading and bombing, and dozens of soldiers were holding wooden barrels, rushing towards the city gate like crazy.

This is...... The commander of the regiment was shocked, and quickly got up from the ground, pointed to the wind troops outside the city holding wooden barrels, and shouted: "Concentrate your fire, shoot them!"
