Chapter 825: Stalemate

In the city attack and defense battle, the first to climb the city wall, called "ladder head", the day before the siege, everyone has to decide who will do the ladder head, the first batch of soldiers to climb the city wall are warriors, not that all soldiers have the qualifications to climb the city wall, and the first person to climb the city wall is called Xiandeng, this person's reward is extremely rich, during the Han Dynasty, Xian Deng can be named a marquis and worship generals, when Liu Bang attacked Xiayi, Zhou Bo was the first to climb the city, was named a scholar, when Fan Hao attacked Puyang and Chengyang, he led the team to climb first, This turned him from a butcher to a general.

After the Han Dynasty, most of them were rich rewards, and generally the first batch of soldiers were poor people, and most of them were looking forward to returning to their hometowns, so they competed for the first, even if they died, the pension given was extremely high.

The Ming Dynasty recorded that there was a war, and the reward for the first place was as high as 5,000 taels.

The first camp that Ma Wensheng said was to select a group of elite warriors to be responsible for the first batch of sieges.

It is not the first camp formed by Koji during the Three Kingdoms period.

In fact, the first camp has already been chosen, but at this moment, the siege is imminent, and it is still necessary to boost morale again, after all, the probability of dying in the first camp is too great.

Soon, the drums of war beaten.

In front of Pingzhou City, the yellow sand was rolling, the cold light reflected the sky, and the first battalion quickly came to the array beyond the range of artillery.

The two first camped and attacked the west gate and the north gate of Pingzhou respectively.

At the same time, the 15,000-strong Jinge Army was also divided into two arrays, which were set up at the west gate and the north gate respectively, which were also outside the range of artillery.

When the attack is officially made, it will be within the range of the artillery.

Well......

North Korea only has traditional artillery, and there are not many of them, so the threat posed by artillery is not great.

Then, in the midst of the black smoke, a hundred steam tanks shook the earth, came out of the array, turned their guns, and pointed at the city wall, waiting for the order to launch rounds of shelling.

After the tanks, hundreds of advanced artillery pieces owned by the right flank army have also been dropped outside the west and north gates.

100 tanks and more than 100 artillery pieces, totaling more than 200 firearms, distributed behind the west gate and the north gate, there are also more than 100 each, and with the power of steam tanks and artillery, the scene can be imagined.

At the sound of an order, the cannon roared like thunder.

On the head of the city wall of Pingzhou, clusters of firelight bloomed, the earth trembled, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The first camp quickly rushed under the city walls.

The Jinge Group Army also quickly arrived, and then Dongfeng rifles, light and heavy machine guns roared, coupled with the intensive clanging of mortars, and for a while, the Pingzhou city wall was bathed in a rain of bullets.

……

……

At the same time as Pingzhou launched a strong attack, the two important towns of Guping and Pingkang also ushered in the strong attack of the middle road of the Ming Dynasty and the left-wing army.

Zhu Yi, who was in charge of the middle lane, had already laid out his tactics.

There is no underestimation.

The tactics based on "30,000 black iron guards in Guping City" were almost exactly the same as the right-wing attack on Pingzhou, which had long been fortified by North Korea to the point of being impregnable.

The same is true of Pingkang's Liu Yongfu Department.

I have to admit that this time the North Korean side has done a really good job of secrecy, no matter how strong Daming's meticulous work is, there is no trace of the Black Iron Guard.

….

But what is certain is that the 30,000 Black Iron Guards must be in one of the three important towns of Pingkang, Guping and Pingzhou.

It depends on which side is unlucky.

As long as there are 30,000 Black Iron Guards as opponents, the strong attack along the way is bound to suffer heavy losses.

It's possible that you can't even take it.

In front of Guping City, Zhu Yi and Wang Yue stood together, looking at the crazy battlefield in the distance, both of them couldn't help but sigh, especially Zhu Yi, who had experienced the war in the Indochina Peninsula.

He sighed, "The tenacity of North Korea is far above that of the countries of the Indochina Peninsula."

I'm glad to be.

There were no Black Iron Guards in Guping City, because their own soldiers had already climbed the city wall several times, and none of the enemy soldiers with Dongfeng rifles appeared.

Black Tiewei is not in Guping.

Then in Pingkang or Pingzhou.

However, although there were no black iron guards in Guping City, the army in the middle had been attacking for a day, and they did not even take Guping - the warriors who had first entered the camp and killed the city head several times, all of them died in the city.

The Korean defenders are just too tenacious!

Under the suppression of your own firearms, before you have even climbed the city wall, the enemy army has already suffered casualties, but when you first camp and land on the city wall, you must stop suppressing the fire.

At this time, the Korean soldiers came out and fought a bloody battle with their own warriors on the city wall.

No Black Iron Guard is so stubborn.

The city with the Black Iron Guard......

I can't imagine how tragic it will be!

In fact, it is understandable that the Ming side is clear, and the North Korean side also understands that once their second defense line based on the city is broken by the Ming Dynasty, then they will really lose the country.

When a country is ruined and a family is destroyed, there will always be some people who come forward.

After all, not all countries are France.

Not to mention North Korea, which has been run by the Lee family for many years.

Therefore, after a day of fighting, Zhu Yi sent out several first camps, and nearly 2,000 people were lost in the battle, but there was no progress at all, of course, it was not without any effect.

The enemy's battle losses are more than twice as high as their own!

Just the bombardment of the Guping city wall and the city by the Jinge Group Army and steam tanks, artillery, and mortars took away at least 35,000 people from the other side, not to mention that although the Ming warriors who killed the head of the city were all killed, they all earned back their capital.

The battle losses of the Korean defenders should be around 6,000.

And yet this is how it goes......

The second front will soon turn into a Shura City, a veritable meat grinder.

On the left side, the situation faced by Liu Yongfu's troops was even worse than that of Guping, which was originally an important town around Seoul, the capital of Joseon, and its city was almost as large as Kaesong.

Moreover, the terrain around Binh Kham is special, with large hilly areas.

When Liu Yongfu attacked the city, these 30,000 people took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the flank of the siege force, forcing Liu Yongfu to use more troops to defend the flank.

Correspondingly, there are fewer troops to be put into the frontal battlefield.

The key is that Liu Yongfu has no way to hold 30,000 people in a short period of time.

Pursue?

They fled back to the hilly terrain.

Not chasing?

Repeatedly harass you and besieges the city.

Therefore, after the end of the first day of fighting, the three important towns of Pingkang, Guping, and Pingzhou still stood in the night, and the smell of blood made the night much stronger, and both sides sent people to collect the corpses.

Inside and outside the city, there was a mournful silence.

Especially in the city, all the Korean defenders were in a heavy mood, whether it was Guping or Pingkang, after a day of fighting, their own battle losses exceeded 5,000 people.

This is still the case of the fortified city.

I can't imagine how terrible the battle damage of my own side would be if there was no city to defend and fight like this with the Ming army for a day.

And the battle losses of the Ming army were only those who besieged the city.

More than 2,000 people.

It's almost an asymmetrical war.
