The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 279 No Pit?
The efficiency of the Hou Jin Army was good, and one hundred ladders and fifty shield vehicles were built on the same day.

Early the next morning, [-] Mongolian troops and [-] Han troops assembled.

Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and several Houjin Baylor rode their soldiers along the city wall built by the Ming army in the South Pass area, looking and looking again and again, with black lines on their faces, not knowing where to order the attack.

The Ming army built a city wall several miles long at the South Pass, and the city wall was not high, only about six meters.

When it was first repaired, it was only four meters long, but Ding Yi reinforced it later.

It is said that there is always a suitable place to attack in these miles long.

But several Baylors looked and looked, and there was a feeling that they couldn't say anything.

First of all, the South Gate is not easy to attack. There is a bastion on the side, with dozens of cannons on it, plus the left and right city walls, there are at least sixty or seventy guns.

The Ming army is also obviously the most, and many Ming soldiers can be seen standing on it in broad daylight. Because there are bunkers blocking it, it is hard to see how many people there are.

This is also the entrance of the Ming army. Don't even think about it, Ding Mouse has dug a lot of holes in the back.

In other areas, either there are bastions, or there are rivers, or mountains, or the road ahead is very narrow, which is not suitable for soldiers and horses to spread out.

The point is that Ding Yi has a fort every [-] meters on this line. At first glance, it is densely packed, all of which are bunker-shaped forts.

So early in the morning, Huang Taiji and the others rode back and forth on horseback, but felt that they couldn't find a good place to attack.

Azige got excited, and murmured: "I led the troops last time, so I didn't know where to fight."

"In the end, we can only storm the South Pass."

Huang Taiji had no choice but to say: "What do you think?"

The three armies of Jin, Han and Mongolia, both civil and military, looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Shuitai thought for a while, and said slowly: "The Ming army's wall is seven or eight li or even longer."

"There are fifty or sixty forts."

"There must be at least 1000 men to guard every mile of the city wall."

"That's 8000 people."

"Plus all the gun emplacements."

"The strength of the Ming army at the South Gate would have to be [-] to barely hold all the places."

"Ding Yi is very good at training soldiers, but I don't believe that it has only been two years, and all the soldiers trained are elite."

"There must be some strong people above who are making up for it."

"Let's try a few places, and we will know that there are elite soldiers there, and there are refills."

Huang Taiji decided to adopt Li Sutai's method.

They randomly selected a section of the city wall.

The city wall is more than 300 meters west of the South Pass.

Here is a half of the river dug by the Ming army, which is more than one mile long. The Ming army built a wall against the river, so the upper reaches of the river where the army can pass are less than 300 meters wide, which is half smaller than when they attacked Jinzhou.

Once five thousand Han troops and two thousand Mongolian troops gathered here, it became a bit dense.

In this 300-meter-wide place, the Ming army had a fort every [-] meters, a total of four.

Another cannon can be seen vaguely every 50 meters on the city wall.

Looking at it from the front, there are a total of ten guns at a distance of 300 meters.

The average density reaches 30 meters per door.

In addition, bunkers were built with sandbags and covered with wooden boards, which can not only prevent shelling, but also hide arrows.

Because there was a blockhouse blocking it, everyone couldn't see how many Ming soldiers were on it.

But according to everyone's estimates, there are at least two Ming troops per meter, and the distance is at least six to seven hundred people.

They attacked here with seven thousand soldiers and horses, attacking ten times more, it sounds like they have an advantage.

But this road is not wide, only 300 meters, and even if there are two people standing per meter, it is already very dense. In fact, there are only 700 people in front of Houjin, and the strength of the two sides is equal again immediately.

But the Ming army's artillery fire was fierce, so of course they didn't dare to stand so densely.

Therefore, when Hou Jin set up a large formation, there was only one person standing every two meters on average, and there were at most 100 people on a line.

The Ming army guarding this side is Yan Xiong's 12th Infantry Division.

He is Xu Dabao's old man who followed Ding Yi and experienced Xu Dabao's defensive battle.

Seeing Hou Jin gathering soldiers and horses to attack him to defend this area, Yan Xiong was elated.

Just when he was happy, someone ran over and said, "Mr. Wang Qian asked if you want to change positions? Let his men come over?"

"Wang Weizhong? Get out, he thinks beautifully." Yan Xiong cursed: "Tell him to guard his position."

In fact, Yan Xiong only has more than 300 people in his hands, and the artillery force is about [-] people.

There are more than 200 young and strong in Lushun, reserve.

But these people have also been trained in the queue, which is much stronger than the ordinary Ming army.

"The Tartars are about to come up. Everyone obeys orders and commands. The Tartars are easy to fight. This battle has been fought. If you want to be a soldier, you will most likely be promoted to a soldier. The beautiful lady is waiting for you." Yan Xiong said loudly while walking up and down the city wall.

"When the Tartars are shelling, hide behind the sandbags and make sure nothing happens."

"If you see bows and arrows, stand inside the wooden boards, and they will not be able to shoot you."

"The arrow hits the cannon, don't shout loudly, there will be medical soldiers to treat him."

"The gunmen shoot the archers first, and the opposing officers."

After he finished speaking, the generals of each team, the chief of the armor and other mid-level and low-level officers repeated the statement one after another.

Soon, like brainwashing, I washed all the Lushun troops above several times.

I just finished talking here, woo, the offensive horn of the Jin army below sounded.

In order to strengthen the military prestige, knowing that the cannons had no effect, boom boom, Houjin's remaining more than 20 Hongyi cannons fired one after another.

The Lushun army quickly hid in the bunker built with sandbags.

Half of the more than 20 artillery pieces hit the city wall or the ground, and a small half flew over the city wall, basically causing no damage, and two artillery pieces hit the sandbags.

But the sandbag was full of piles of soil, more than one meter wide, and the huge iron ball was still useless when hit, and fell limply.

After the bombardment, the Hou Jin army launched a massive attack.

The shield cart is pushed in front, and the ladder is held in the back.

Wait for them to enter within two miles.

Boom, the 24-pound iron cannon of the Lushun Army fired first.

There were only four iron cannons in the turret, and the first round of salvo was not effective. The shells basically fell into the crowd, killing dozens of Han soldiers, and failed to hit a single shield vehicle. Instead, they carried the ladder behind them. Killed a few and destroyed a ladder.

The opposite side was walking very fast, pushing frantically, and when it reached 800 meters, boom, the 24-pound iron cannon fired out in the second round.

It was a good fight this time, and two shots hit the shield car.

With a bang, the shield car was torn apart instantly, and the Han army behind them screamed.

Houjin's shield car is similar to Ding Yi's blockhouse, with wooden boards and mudstones (Ding Yi does not use boards on the front, only sandbags, and the boards are on top of the head to prevent bows and arrows), and the anti-shelling effect is also good.

But because they used wooden boards, the wooden boards would split after the cannon hit, and many Han soldiers would be stabbed.

The Han soldiers trembled and continued to move forward.

At 600 meters, the 24-pound iron gun was fired in the third round.

Boom, boom, boom, this time all four cannons hit, and some hit the first shield car, and bounced back, and even hit the second shield car.

Everywhere at the scene, people turned their backs on their cars and screamed again and again.

Especially when the shield chariot is cracked, the cracked wood can kill the Han army.

When the iron ball bounces backwards, it can kill the Han army in large numbers.

But in an army of 5000 people, this kind of damage is still quite small.

Compared with the scene of hundreds of gates in Jinzhou the day before yesterday, this place is considered pediatrics.

Huang Taiji and others watching the battle were a little excited.

After a while, their soldiers and horses had advanced to 500 meters.

What made them even more surprised was that there were no pits along the way?

Ding mouse modified?
