Appearance:

"Let the Mongols charge..."

In front of the city gate is a smooth road, there is no moat, after a hundred paces from the city wall is a vertical and horizontal moat, the war horse can charge, but after a hundred paces can only turn the horse's head.

Yue Tuo's order was a bit nerve-wracking, but now it was clear that he could only charge once with cavalry.

Relying on the superiority of the cavalry, the horse speed disrupted the Ming army that had already charged to the city gate and began to form a formation, so that the remaining soldiers had enough time to react.

Dai Shan frowned and did not speak, Li Yongfang said in a deep voice: "Block the Ming army troops who launched the charge with artillery halfway, and then use cavalry to charge through the Ming army's position in front of the city gate, and our city head troops attacked the Ming army with firearms, throwing guns, wooden rolling stones and other city defense utensils, opened all the gates of the south city, and launched an attack on the Ming army at the city gate with the Han army flag troops with Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles and other firearms. ”

Dai Shan's eyebrows relaxed, his side is the defensive side, and at the same time there is a trench to block the opponent's footsteps, he engages the enemy in a narrow area of 100 steps in front of the city gate, and his side has an eighty percent chance of winning, and now the defenders of Huai'an are as high as 150,000 people, and there are reinforcements waiting to be sent in other places in Huai'an, do you want to defend to the death?

"Order, do it according to the arrangement of the horse, and go down immediately to arrange it."

After all, Li Yongfang was born in the Ming army, and he knew everything about the arrangements of the offensive and defensive sides: "Use all the firearms of the Shenji Battalion that were transported." ”

Squeak

The main gate of the southern city was wide open, and behind the three rows of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles was the firearm 'swarm' that the Genshin God Machinery Battalion used to deal with the cavalry, pretending to be gunpowder on the strings of arrows, and shooting with the thrust of gunpowder, in addition to the blessing of fireworks, some of them would explode on the body of the person who was hit by the arrow, just like a small artillery battle.

In addition to the terrifying formation, the real damage of a swarm is no different from that of a bow and arrow.

"Get out of the way..."

With the screaming sound of a swarm of bees, hundreds of rockets rushed in, and the soldiers of the 240th Regiment in front of the city gate were suddenly hit by a large number of arrows.

A wail rang out, followed by a roar of order to fight back, and muskets burst into unison.

'Bang bang... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang ... Bang bang...'

On the city wall, the Qing army defending the city stretched out muskets from the battlements of various female walls and fired them, condescending to attack the Ming army under the city wall.

"Archers..."

"Throwing guns..."

"Pour the gold juice down..."

Ding Yishan's entire regiment is now alive with no more than 300 people, and although the 27th Division launched a full-line charge, his 240th Regiment is at the forefront.

Niu Shiquan, the commander of the 239th Regiment, had already led the team to rush to Ding Yishan's flank, and when he saw the tragic situation of the 240th Regiment, he immediately shouted loudly: "The 239th Regiment is fully prepared, the military orders are drilled, and the guns are marching forward..."

As soon as the order was given, the corner gates on both sides of the city gate were opened, and a thousand Mongol cavalry rushed out with shouts.

Ding Yishan's eyes were cracked, and he was desperate: "Platoon guns, bayonets..."

......

"Ringing arrows..."

Chirp...

Three whistles sounded, and the remnants of the cavalry quickly withdrew in the direction of Shuyang.

Ah Shan ran in the middle, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shouted in Manchurian: "Quick, speed up..."

The front position of Cui Zhen was not filled with the smoke of gunpowder in the past, and there were only remnants of fireworks after the explosion on some of the battlefield plots, and a battalion commander under the front command retreated and reported the battle situation directly to Chen Jiming.

Li Yan was shocked in his heart, he was fantasizing at the moment if this weapon was used on his body at that time, would the 50,000 Tang Domain soldiers at that time be able to resist a round of attacks.

Chen Jiming did not have Xiao Yongguang's recklessness, but frowned and looked at the Qing cavalry who had evacuated in a panic: "Clean up the battlefield..."

"Division Commander Chen..."Li Yan spoke: "What if the entire regiment launches an attack?" ”

Chen Jiming replied very politely: "Staff Officer Li, unless you are setting up a position on the endless plain, but you have to consider whether Jiannu will advance in parallel like an idiot, their tactics and tactics are all from Li Chengliang's Liaodong Ming Army, judging from the situation of the battle just now, their old tactics of encircling on three sides can indeed bring us trouble." ”

Li Yan didn't feel that Chen Jiming's words were offended, and nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that we have to capture two captives to ask." ”

"Report to the division, the 9th Battalion of our division killed 327 enemies, captured 211 people, and the 9th Battalion suffered no casualties."

After some interrogation, Chen Jiming returned to the Chinese army and said to Li Yan: "The leader is Tan Tai, and the other deputy generals He Luohui and Ah Shan, the one who led the attack on us before was Ah Shan himself, according to the prisoners, Tan Tai has 30,000 people in Shuyang, all of them are cavalry, of which 5,000 are true Tartars, 5,000 Mongolian Tatars, and the remaining 20,000 are people from the Han army banner." ”

Li Yan frowned and looked ahead: "As far as I know, Shuyang is surrounded by a rare Yellow River Plain, Ah Shan has suffered a big loss here now, after going back, he will definitely intercept us according to their trench blocking method, in order to avoid the failure of our army's surprise attack mission, Division Commander Chen, I suggest that our troops be divided into two ways." ”

"Shuyang City is surrounded by Shushui and Lianhe, forming a three-bread sandwich, if the troops are divided, Staff Officer Li, the pressure on our department will be great."

Li Yan's face was calm: "Senior Commander Chen, Your Majesty is here in person, we have already divided our troops to attack and disturb, if we can make meritorious contributions, when we can make meritorious contributions in the future, we can also try to fight for a national lord." ”

Li Yan's words made Chen Jiming's heart completely unable to sit still, especially the temptation of the national lord, so he asked tentatively: "Staff Officer Li, could it be that you have Zhou Xiang's plan?" ”

"It's just a move," Li Yan shook his head: "But after dividing the troops, Senior Commander Chen, your task will be heavy." ”

"Please explain in detail to Staff Officer Li."

"I took a brigade of troops to the north and crossed the Shu River and then turned south, but once Tan Tai learned about it halfway, he would definitely send troops to attack in order to ensure the logistics road, so Division Commander Chen, you will be under positive pressure from Tan Tai when you take the remaining two brigades to march from the official road of Liujiazhuang;

However, if I can hold off Tan Tai's soldiers and horses north of the Shu River, I believe that with the ability of your command, it should be easy to pull out Shuyang City. ”

"Divide the troops and attack, even drag and fight?"

Li Yan nodded: "That's what it means." ”

Chen Jiming said again: "In this way, are you enough to bring a brigade?" ”

"Relying on the Lianhe River to block the attack, with the power of the rifle, I believe that Tan Tai's cavalry does not have that much ability."

"Minggou's firearms are so ferocious?"

Tan Tai was shocked when he heard what happened to Ashan, and the memories of the fiasco in North Korea came to his heart again: "When I was in the Bihu Pavilion, Amin suffered the loss of Minggou firearms. ”

He Luohui was stunned after listening, and then said: "The Ming army broke through the Yellow River defense line and arrived in Cui Town, I believe that the plan will not stay in place, or maybe they will stay in place and wait for reinforcements, at this time there is no news of King Li's coming, we must prevent the Ming army from crossing the Yellow River from Taoyuan." ”

"You mean the Ming army will go north to Shuyang?"

He Luohui shook his head: "I don't know, but Ashan's account can be guessed one or two, Tan Tai, we have to make two preparations, first, immediately build a trench in Shuyang to prevent the Ming army from attacking, and second, we must send letters to King Li and King Raoyu respectively, and inform them of our news here;

I'm now worried that if we can't hold it, the Ming army will encircle King Li with a trap, Tan Tai..."

Tan Tai was immediately frightened by He Luohui's analysis, and immediately said: "Shu Heha, immediately give an order, dig a trench on Shuyang official road, arrange it more densely, and arrange earth mines in the direction of Liujiazhuang to blow them up." ”

...

"Your Majesty..."

Chen Cao didn't pay attention to Huang Chunyao, but held a telescope and looked at the Huai'an battlefield in the distance: "Send an order to Ning Guoxing and ask his unit to carry mortars to support the 80th Brigade." ”

"Rush up, rush up..."

Liao Zhun, the commander of the 80th Brigade, didn't care much at the moment, and the cavalry rushing in front had obviously entered a decline, after all, the distance that could make them charge was only more than 100 steps, but there were still soldiers under his command in front of him who were blocking the offensive of these cavalry with their lives.

"Raise your gun..."

"Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

"On the bayonet ..."

"Be careful of the cold arrows at the head of the Tartar city, the shield man, where the shield man is..."

Yang Lian Maha's infantry who accompanied the attack on the mountain hurriedly raised the round shield in his hand after hearing the shout, and the battle in front was extremely fierce, and there was no way to effectively use the musket when the people were crowded, and both sides were engaged in cold weapon combat.

"Fill in the trenches, quick..."

At the same time, Chen Pingzhong immediately put the sappers accompanying the army in the rear to carry out earthwork work immediately, and tried his best to fill in the trenches arranged by the Qing army to block the defense line one by one, so as to facilitate the march of the troops behind.

"Be careful, the Tartars are going to fire..."

"Bastard thing..."Chen Cao put down the clairvoyant mirror, and with the sound of cannons in the distance, he scolded again: "What kind of bullshit tactics are taught in the first phase of Huangpu?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry..."

"The emperor is angry..."

"Rest angry," Chen Cao scolded: "Chen Pingzhong, who is said to be a dog, will he fight in the end, the signboard of the Long Wu Army made him lose everything, a distance of more than a hundred steps, under the dense crowd, he still fights with the enemy with bayonets, does he think that the Qing army at the head of the city is all blind?" Call Tang Kainian to Lao Tzu..."

In a hurry, he even changed his name, and Chen Cao was also anxious when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty..."Tang Kainian rode his horse: "The minister is guilty..."

"Sin you dead head, let the Xiao madman of the 21st Division attack from the southwest."

Xiao Yongguang's nickname Chen Cao in the Longwu Army was known, and it could be fully reflected in the First Battle of Nanjing.

At that time, Xiao Yongguang's department was still a pure flintlock pistol unit, but now it has become one of the only two integrated rifle divisions in the Longwu Army.
