New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1072
When Huang Taiji found out that he was in the trap, the soldiers they rushed to support had suffered heavy casualties.
JianNu rose between white mountains and black waters and almost unified the territory outside the pass through decades of war.
Moreover, in the decades of war, many excellent veterans have been trained. These veterans are the elite of the army. Their rich combat experience and brave combat skills are not comparable to those of recruits. Even many are people who are very afraid and afraid of even Chinese arms gunmen.
However, when these brave soldiers rushed up the wall, they were fatally hit. They saw the enemy’s shells falling like raindrops. Although they were holding shields and wearing iron armor, the shells still blew them to pieces.
You should know that JianNu rose up in Baishan and Heishui, dominated outside the pass, and was invincible. It was not their riding and shooting skills, but their very powerful heavy armor infantry. Their heavy armor infantry beat the Mongolian cavalry down and cried for their parents.
Even if the Ming army used fire guns and artillery to deal with them, they were not afraid. Instead, they became braver and braver. Finally, they occupied the whole outside the pass and had the ability to dominate the world.
Who knows that the emergence of the Chinese army has changed their invincible momentum. Before that, even the Ming army used fire guns and artillery to pose little threat to their heavy armor infantry.
However, their heavy armor infantry, when facing the upper Chinese army, made the Chinese Army’s fire guns and artillery fall into a flower and water, because the Chinese Army’s fire guns and artillery were more powerful and had a longer range. Even if they were covered with several layers of armor, they were all blown up and their limbs were broken under the bombardment of artillery.
These slave soldiers were also very elite and smart. Seeing that there was no enemy under the wall, they retreated quickly. Even if they retreated quickly, the heavy casualties made the people in charge of commanding these troops cold.
You know, in the past, they won the war with the musketeers of the Ming army because the other party’s muskets were slow, short range and poor power.
Moreover, their shells seemed very expensive. They were not willing to fight more at all. After a few rounds of artillery, they often ordered the infantry to rush up and kill them.
As a result, when it comes to close combat, who are their heavy armored infantry afraid of? No matter who met them and fought with them in short distance on the battlefield, they were killed by them.
However, this set is of no use here in the Chinese army. They fell down in rows like mowing grass under the Chinese Army’s fire guns and artillery. No matter who has many guns, there is only one result, that is, they were killed on the spot.
The Ming army’s artillery shells seemed to be extremely expensive and reluctant to fight more, while the Chinese Army’s shells seemed to be fighting here desperately without money.
After midnight, their artillery camp launched all their cannons and shelled the city wall as much as they could.
They fought fast and fiercely. When the gun barrel was red, they immediately splashed water to cool him down, and then quickly went into battle.
The shelling of the Chinese army began at midnight and started all the time. It didn’t mean to stop after dawn. Instead, it became more and more fierce.
Huang Taiji hid outside the range of the enemy’s artillery. Looking at the shelled position from a distance, the area around the dongchengmen gate had been bombed with holes and potholes. There was thick smoke everywhere, and the fire burst into the sky. The enemy’s shells fell like raindrops, and there was no dead corner at all. Even if they hid in a stone house, their soldiers were bombed by the other party’s bombs, Crush it inside.
Even if he hid behind the thick wall, he was shocked by this great power and died. It can be said that although he did not send anyone to inquire around the east gate, he believed that the casualties of the soldiers here should be almost the same. He planted 20 Niulu men and horses here.
Under the fierce bombardment of the Chinese army, a large section of the city wall also collapsed.
They also decided that the east gate was the focus of the enemy’s attack, because the terrain here was relatively open, and their artillery positions were also deployed here.
According to the Chinese Army’s consistent habit of fighting, they would not fight without artillery. Since so many artillery have been deployed here, it means that this is the main direction of attack.
Although Huang Taiji made sufficient deployment and preparation in this regard, and also made full protective measures for the soldiers, as a result, under the fierce shelling of the enemy, their casualties were extremely heavy, and all positions melted like ice and snow in the sun.
Seeing the Chinese Army’s shelling, so fierce and ferocious, everyone was cold. They all believed that no one or creature could survive such fierce shelling. They believed that the 20 Niulu soldiers deployed near the east gate wall were almost dead and injured.
After dawn, the Chinese army began to send infantry to attack. When their infantry sent out, they stopped shelling for fear of hurting their own people.
The Chinese Army’s attack was also very fierce. As soon as it was dispatched, there were two regiments, with a strength of nearly 6000 people. Countless Chinese Army soldiers were placed in a scattered line and began to move forward.
When Huang Taiji saw the other side, it was only a tentative attack, or the first wave of attack. Unexpectedly, he took out more than 6000 people. This battle will be extremely bad and difficult to fight.
However, the soldiers of JianNu showed an extremely tenacious side. When the soldiers of the Chinese Army rushed up, they rushed out of the ruins, from the rubble, behind the trees and from various bunkers to fight tenaciously with the Chinese army.
Now they have found out the way to fight with the Chinese army. Although the Chinese Army’s musketeers are only lined up in a simple scattered line, if you think you can rush up to deal with each other, this is a dead end.
Therefore, JianNu also quickly took out their response method. It was the old method, that is, they prepared a large number of planks, which formed a shield and shield car. The soldiers pushed their shield car as a cover, rushed 70 or 80 steps away and hit with bows and arrows.
The Chinese army sent out fire guns to shoot the enemy, while the JianNu soldiers used bows and arrows to shoot the soldiers of the Chinese army from a distance. There were casualties on both sides and people fell down constantly.
Don’t mention that their move of plank is quite effective. If the Chinese army uses artillery, their shield cars and wooden shields will have no effect at all, and they will be directly blasted into slag.
However, the two sides fought and killed at close range. When the battle was fierce, they could effectively avoid the bullets of the Chinese army. The two sides fought in a short distance, and the soldiers of the Warsaw army also suffered a lot of casualties.
It is believed that if it is a direct killing, the casualties will be greater, but it is not easy for JianNu to rush into the ranks of the Chinese army.
The Chinese Army lacks artillery with medium and short-range firepower. They can counterattack with the move of shield. However, within 20 or 30 steps, they have another sharp weapon. This sharp weapon is their grenade. Their grenade is not their shield or shield car. If they can resist, they are blown up.
Therefore, JianNu’s tactics against the Chinese army are not many at all. He can only shoot the soldiers of the Chinese army with bows and arrows within nearly 70 or 80 steps. The two sides fight in this way.
Although there was no close-up gambling, its tragedy was no less than a close fight.
However, because of their soldiers, the Chinese Army invested too many troops and suppressed them regardless of casualties. Under this pressure, these soldiers also advanced with shields. The Musketeers advanced slowly under the cover of shields. Their Chinese army was on the offensive side and killed a large number of JianNu quickly, Soon he came close to the gap in the wall.
If another army wants to attack the wall, it can only set up a ladder and rush up the wall.
The Chinese army is much simpler. It directly blew up the city wall, which is one of the reasons why the Warsaw army used a large number of artillery to bombard here last night.
After the city wall collapsed, the defenders seemed very helpless and did not know what to do. At this time, the Chinese Army rushed into the gap and soon occupied the gap.
Although JianNu soldiers were very brave and killed a large number of Chinese soldiers, they could not bear the heavy casualties. They were soon suppressed and retreated step by step by the Chinese army.
Huang Taiji saw that the other party occupied the gap. If he occupied here, he could attack the whole city. Therefore, he had no choice but to order his pro guards to rush up and continue their resistance.
Sun chuanting was very pleased that the Chinese army won the gap in the first wave of charge. Without hesitation, he sent a division of nearly 10000 people to launch a group charge in the hope of gaining momentum and occupying here.
There are so many of them, and the other party lacks powerful killing weapons. So many people launched a crowd charge. No matter how tenacious and fierce the enemy is, they can’t resist it.
It was because of this that sun chuanting dared to put in so many troops at once, and they said that if they wanted to win here one day, they had to win here one day.
His majesty is very anxious to take this place. After taking this place, he will finish the scheduled battle plan, and this year’s large-scale military operations will stop.
Because they know that it seems easy to send more than 100000 troops here for a long time, but in fact, there is great financial pressure. If they occupy here, it means that the military forces of JianNu in Liao town will collapse completely and flee to further places. At that time, they will only send a small group of elite troops to hunt them down.
That’s why he hopes to occupy here in the shortest time. He must take Shenyang Wei before winter, and then take down Kaiping, Tieling, Fushun and other places to completely rush to northern Liaoning.
