Chapter 618: Fighting
"Quick! Array, all fucking hurry! ”
"Quickly deploy the artillery to the front, don't you see that the Ming army is almost finished, you want to eat shells!"
"Assemble! All the musketeers are here to assemble! ”
In a burst of angry rebukes, the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of the Han army and the two blue flags of the North Korea began to assemble, the soldiers and horses of the four flags were divided into two clusters before and after, and the front was the two blue flags of North Korea.
Behind, the Han army is blue flag Gushan Ezhen Zu Dashou, Han army inlaid blue flag Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan also led their own troops and horses, behind the Korean army, Quang Ninh Zhongqian City South Gate array, Zu Dashou on the left, Li Guohan on the right, both sides are nervously deploying soldiers and horses.
Zu Dashou and Li Guohan each had about 50 artillery pieces in their armies, and at this time, these 100 artillery pieces had all been deployed on the city wall, and they almost occupied the southern city wall of the city in front of Guangning.
At this time, looking at the First Army of the National Defense Army, which was about to be reorganized, Zu Dashou's heart was full of mixed feelings, thinking that he would also fight side by side with Liu Yan at the beginning, and he wanted to become a loyal general of the Ming Dynasty.
However, with the imperial court transferring Liaodong soldiers and horses into the customs, he became an outcast, and in order to survive, in order to keep the glory and wealth of his ancestral family, he could only surrender to the Manchu Dynasty.
Now Zu Dashou already knows the fate of Wu Sangui, the Wu family is finished, with the Ming Dynasty sending hundreds of thousands of troops to the Northern Expedition, in Zu Dashou's view, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also in a catastrophe, and today's war is just a dying struggle, perhaps, the end of the ancestral family is coming!
Thinking of this, Zu Dashou had an urge to cry in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes were slightly red and he looked around, but he saw that the soldiers and horses of the Han army were in the blue flag had been reorganized, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's Wehrmacht has a flag of artillery, each department has a sentry artillery, each battalion has a general artillery, and the military department has an artillery battalion directly under its jurisdiction, and all the artillery pieces together have more than 780 artillery pieces of various types.
Of course, some of them are Huzun cannons and rocket artillery vehicles, but the number of red-coated cannons and Francophone cannons is also as huge as four or five hundred, which is enough to crush the artillery power of all departments of the Qing army.
At this time, Chen Xun held a clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance, only to see that on the south wall of the city in front of Guangning, there were also a lot of artillery.
"Oops!"
Chen Xun joked: "I can't imagine that the casting artillery technology of the Manchu Tartars is not bad, look at the flag is only the artillery equipped by the two blue flags of the Han army, there are as many as 100 guns, if the eight banners of the Han army get together, wouldn't there be hundreds of them!" ”
Guo Mingxu, the deputy chief soldier next to him, glanced at him and said: "The general town is really getting more and more damaged, and all the artillery of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Han Army combined, it is estimated that it is not as much as our army." ”
Chen Xun said with a smile: "I don't mean to hurt people. After the extermination of the Jin merchants, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was cut off from the source of materials from the Guannai, coupled with the lack of craftsmen to cast artillery in Liaodong, and the Tartars did not have much food for large-scale casting of artillery. ”
When Chen Xun said this, Guo Mingxu nodded in agreement.
Immediately, news came from the front that the artillery arrays of all units had been deployed, and Zhang Xun, a staff general of the left battalion, and Shen Donglai, a staff officer of the right battalion, had also sent news one after another, saying that the officers and men of the two battalions had been prepared and could launch an attack immediately.
At this time, the sky is cloudless, and it is a clear day of a big war!
Chen Xun immediately ordered the artillery to be fully fired, and all the red-coated cannons and heavy Franc machine guns were concentrated to bombard the Korean soldiers and horses two or three miles away, and first crushed those doglegs who had defected to the Manchus!
"Ready! Put! ”
Rumble!
"Ready! Put! ”
Rumble!
With Chen Xun's order, the four or five hundred artillery pieces of the First Army of the National Defense Army began to fire a salvo, and the raindrops of shells continued to fall in the military formation of the two blue flags of the DPRK.
North Korea's Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Ma Futa was so angry that he scolded: "Zu Dashou and Li Guohan, the two dog minions, what kind of wind did they smoke, they actually deployed all the artillery on the city wall, the Ming army was five or six miles away from the city, and now their own artillery has become a fucking ornament, and the range is not enough at all!" ”
On the other side, North Korea's blue flag Gushan Ezhen Eshuo was also shouting to kill Zu Dashou and Li Guohan, and he asked the two before the war to deploy the artillery of the Han army's two blue flags in front of the North Korean two blue flag formations, although they were also separated by two or three miles, but there were also some artillery pieces that could reach the Ming army's military formation, and they could share the artillery damage.
However, Zu Dashou and Li Guohan refused to deploy artillery in front of the formation on the grounds that Prince Su and Prince Zheng had an order to preserve artillery strength and stick to the city of Zhongqian in Quang Ninh!!
At this time, seeing that the Korean soldiers under his command were bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army, E Shuo couldn't wait to directly pull out his knife and cut Zu Dashou and Li Guohan: "Hangou is just unreliable!" ”
Immediately Eshuo ordered the whole army to move forward, and Mafuta on the other side also issued the same order, after all, the North Korean soldiers' musketeers were still very good, at least they could advance to the front, shoot the Ming army with firearms, and maybe break the Ming army's artillery array.
Soon, the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of North Korea finally stabilized their positions under the pressure of the bullets led by Eshuo and Mafuta, and the two of them each led the Bayala soldiers in their own banners to supervise the battle behind, forcing the soldiers and horses of the two flags to charge forward in formation.
Those North Korean soldiers really advanced more than two miles under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery, and even Chen Xun and Guo Mingxu were amazed by this scene: "The North Korean soldiers are not bad, they have not collapsed?" ”
So Chen Xun said: "It seems that our gunners are not working hard, let the rocket artillery car and the Tiger Zun cannon also prepare to fire!" ”
Guo Mingxu nodded and said, "Well, fire, fire with all your might!" ”
Soon, on the artillery positions of the First Army of the Wehrmacht, rocket artillery vehicles and Huzun guns also opened fire one after another, and at this time, the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of North Korea had rushed to a mile away, and the range of these two types of artillery could be completely covered.
So far, the firepower of more than 780 artillery pieces of various types equipped by the National Defense Forces has shrouded all the soldiers and horses of the two blue flags of North Korea, and the 60,000 troops of the two flags have charged all the way, and have suffered at least 3,000 casualties.
Rumble!
A small position of Huzun artillery in front opened fire again, and a large number of scattered bullets swept directly across the front, sweeping down a piece of the Korean gunners who were lining up a mile away, and the remaining Korean soldiers suddenly collapsed and began to flee north shouting words that the Wehrmacht officers and men did not understand.
The situation was also mostly the same everywhere around, and the Korean musketeers who rushed to a mile away could no longer rush in, but dared to fire from a distance, that is, bluffing, and did not cause any substantial damage to the Wehrmacht officers and men, and then were gradually routed by the heavy artillery of the Wehrmacht.
Such a scene is destined to be bloody and cruel, and it is also destined to be unacceptable for Eshuo and Mafuta!
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw."
Faced with such an almost suicidal charge, and a one-sided, almost massacre battle, Eshuo and Mafuta gave the order to retreat one after another.
In fact, even if Eshuo and Mafuta did not order a retreat at this time, the tens of thousands of Korean soldiers in front could no longer hold on and began to retreat spontaneously.
Soon, tens of thousands of Korean soldiers rushed northward like a tide, but fortunately, Eshuo and Mafuta, who had withdrawn to the two blue banner formations of the Han army in the first step, did not faint, and hurriedly commanded the Bayala soldiers under their command to divert the rout, so as not to impact the two blue banner formations of the Han army.
It has to be said that the tens of thousands of defeated Korean soldiers were all good at fleeing for their lives, and the speed of retreat was much faster than the speed of attacking.
Later, Ma Futa and E Shuo also entered the city with gloomy faces, and were about to tell Prince Su Lai Mubu and Prince Zheng Fei Yangguo about their ancestors' birthdays and Li Guohan's state, but the two of them ushered in an angry rebuke from Lai Mubu and Fei Yangguo.
Fei Yangguo roared angrily: "I can't imagine that the Eight Banners of North Korea carefully built by the imperial court are so vulnerable in the hands of the two of you!" ”
And Lai Mubu said angrily: "Why didn't you rush to the front at the beginning and kill the enemy with firearms, but you had to withstand the artillery bombardment of the Ming army before rushing!" ”
At this time, Mafuta and E Shuo were dumbfounded and speechless, and the hundreds of artillery pieces in the army were placed at the head of the city to "watch the excitement", so that the North Korean soldiers could meet the bombardment of hundreds of artillery pieces of the Ming army with their flesh and blood, and finally defeated, this is still our fault??
However, Mafuta and Eshuo did not dare to refute, but knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Seeing this, Lai Mubu and Fei Yangguo didn't say anything anymore, but Fei Yangguo said: "The two of you immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, and then lead the two blue flag soldiers of North Korea to help defend the city!" ”
"Whoa!!"
After retreating, Mafuta and Eshuo glanced at each other, and then Mafuta said viciously: "If this battle is fought like this, the Qing Dynasty will be over!" ”
At the same time, Chen Xun had already led the army forward for three miles, and at this time it was only more than a mile away from the two blue flag formations of the Han army in front, and it was only more than two miles away from the city of Zhongqian in Guangning.
At this distance, the artillery of both sides was able to bombard the opposing army's formation. As a result, when the officers and men of the First Army of the Wehrmacht had just stopped and the artillery of each unit was recalibrating various firing parameters, the 100 Qing artillery pieces on the southern city wall of Quang Ninh Zhongqian finally opened fire, and shells continued to fall on the artillery array of the First Army of the Wehrmacht.
Chen Xun held a clairvoyant mirror and could see the Qing gunners who were struggling to fire at the head of the city, as well as many North Korean gunners who were transferred to the head of the city.
Later, Chen Xun observed the two blue flag formations of the Han army deployed outside the city, and saw that the Han army's flag soldiers and horses were also waiting for them.
So Chen Xun said in a cold voice: "Order all artillery to open fire, concentrate all the red-coated cannons and Franc machine guns, and bombard the Qing artillery on the city of Quang Ninh Zhongqian, and this town will let all those artillery be muted!" ”
"Order!"
Soon, the artillery of the First Army of the Wehrmacht roared again, and the power of hundreds of artillery salvos was earth-shattering, and the roar of the Qing army's artillery was suppressed in an instant, and the southern city wall of Quang Ninh Zhongqian City was suddenly shrouded in smoke and dust, and everywhere there were flying rubble, jumping cannon bodies, and flying flesh and blood.
