Chapter 1151 Street Fighting
However, when those Tatar soldiers went deep into the streets of the Great King City, their nightmare began.

The spider web-like streets and alleys of the Great King City are simply a huge maze.The Tatar soldiers walked along the winding alleys, and either got into a dead end, or found that they couldn't get around like a ghost hitting a wall.Fortunately, some Tatar soldiers rushed into an open field, thinking that they had finally walked out of the maze, but saw that the defenders were several times their size, and they had already waited there with their bows and arrows!

Seeing that things were not going well, those Tatar soldiers who fell into the trap turned around and ran away, only to find that there were defenders armed with knives and guns on the way.Seeing the encirclement shrink rapidly, the Tatar soldiers let out howls of despair and waved their weapons to meet them.After a shower of arrows, only half of the Tatar soldiers remained. Although the remaining half fought bravely, they were outnumbered. After biting each other to the death, their bodies were quickly pierced by the defenders' spears.

After annihilating this group of enemy troops, the defenders pulled out the arrows from the corpses, wiped the tip of the guns on their robes, and then quickly went back to hide in the distance, waiting for the next wave of prey to be hooked.

Such scenes are staged everywhere in the city. The streets and alleys that collect traffic seem to be connected to each other, but they are actually small independent areas.Although each area is not big, the streets and alleys in the area are intertwined, and the big circles are surrounded by small circles, and each wall is khaki-yellow and generally high, winding and twisting inside, and it will not be clear after a while North, south, east, west, I don't know where I am...

Those Tatar soldiers who rushed into the alley were separated by these unremarkable streets and alleys. Some of them couldn't get out no matter how much they went around, some returned to the starting point after walking, and some fell into the enemy who was waiting for work. In the army formation, it was easily wiped out by superior forces.But the defenders were like fish in water in these alleys, leading the Tatar army around freely, knowing that they would be sent to the grave, then turned around and surrounded the next wave of Tatar troops.

Obviously the defenders' strength is far less than that of the enemy, but the defenders are always bullying the few in every part of the city. Sometimes the Tatar army finds the defenders and chases them with gritted teeth. They lost their way at the fork in the road... When they found the defender again, it must be the moment when they fell into a trap.

All this is due to Chen Duo standing on the west wall.He overlooked the battle situation in the streets and alleys like a falcon, and issued orders to the city from time to time, connecting the seemingly scattered areas into a whole, or supporting each other, or attacking together, and the troops flowed in different areas. It appeared in the most appropriate place...

The generals on the side were secretly stunned, they knew too well how difficult it was for Chen Duo to command like this.This not only requires a smooth order system, but also requires him, the commander, to control the overall situation, clearly understand the strengths and weaknesses of the troops in all parts of the city, and the changes in the battle situation, and carry out extremely complicated and trivial deployments as a whole.

The generals admired Chen Duo's commanding ability, but Baoyin knew very well that Chen Duo was able to do this not only because of his talent, but also because of his hard work and hard work that ordinary people can't match.

.

Going back to more than a month ago, when Dawangcheng was just besieged, Baoyin asked Chen Duo, can Dawangcheng be defended?

Chen Duo analyzed the situation of the enemy and the enemy for Baoyin, and told her that there should be no problem within a month, but if the reinforcements from the court do not arrive after a month, the Great King City may be in danger of falling.

Baoyin asked again, what will happen after the city wall falls?
Chen Duo said that the loss of the city wall does not mean failure, because there is still street fighting, and the defending side is familiar with the terrain, and can also transform the streets and alleys to maximize the advantage of the terrain, divide the enemy into small parts, and eat them one bite at a time.As long as you are properly prepared, it will not be a problem to persist for another ten and a half months.

Baoyin asked again, what would the people in the city do if there was street fighting?Chen Duo told Baoyin that the underground soil of Dawang City is soft, which is very conducive to digging tunnels.The people can be ordered to dig tunnels in a unified way according to the plan, so that not only the people can hide underground for refuge, but the army can also use the tunnels to mobilize, and it is hard to guard against!
Baoyin ordered Chen Duo to be the commander-in-chief of the city, and asked him to be responsible for mobilizing the people to completely transform the streets and alleys of Dawangcheng.After preparing for the fall of the city wall, engage in street fighting with the enemy.

After receiving the appointment, Chen Duo immediately came up with a plan for the transformation. He already knew where tunnels should be dug, where alleys should be blocked, where mazes should be set up, and where traps should be placed. .

This is obviously not something that can be done when the situation is imminent. In the past few years, Chen Duo has carefully checked every street and every house in Dawang City, and made a plan.Although it seemed at the time that what he did was useless, once the war comes, the victorious female voice will obviously only favor those who are more prepared...

But in Chen Duo's heart, he was full of awe and gratitude to Wang Xian, Duke of Zhen who taught him military skills.Without Wang Xian teaching them, who would know what three-dimensional staggered firepower is?Who knows what is the time difference in exchange for defensive depth?Who knows how to establish a smooth communication system in the deep position where the enemy and the enemy are intertwined?Who knows the guerrilla warfare method of "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we advance"?

When Chen Duo stood on the city wall, looking down at the position he had built, and fully displaying what he had learned in his life, he saw that his own troops were mobilized like a finger. , Absorption, obviously several times more than oneself, but always at a numerical disadvantage in the battle!Chen Duo felt more and more that his young protagonist was extremely powerful and mysterious, as if there was nothing he didn't know, and there was nothing he couldn't do!
.

As the fierce battle approached noon, Shi Niegan on the east side of the city noticed something was wrong.He found that the streets in the city had been remodeled, and the defenders were obviously fighting in an organized and strategic manner. On the other hand, although every small group of soldiers had been cautious, they had no command as a whole, and they were still running around like headless chickens. They are always wiped out by the enemy forming superior forces locally.

Shi Niegan should have discovered this situation a long time ago, but when the city wall collapsed before, he was dizzy from the shock and took an hour or two to recover.In addition, he also kept the idea of ​​'don't let those guys suffer, they won't be obedient', so he kept silent all the time.

Indeed, it wasn't until this time that the Tatar army gradually calmed down. They discovered to their horror that the morning's attack had yielded nothing except the death of thousands of people.The bloody and cruel reality finally made them realize that the end of those winding streets is the entrance to hell!

The boiling animal blood finally cooled down. Fear replaced greed and dominated the thinking of the Tatar army.They finally stopped in their tracks and looked far away at Shi Niegan on the top of the city...

The Tatar nobles surrounded Shi Niegan, nodded and bowed to him, and said, "Da Taiji, please think of a way, our family's son was killed and injured too badly..." The Tatars stood far away during the siege, so naturally there were no casualties. .But after entering the city, the Tatar soldiers will naturally rush to the front regarding the harvest of this battle.Even if they wanted to stay behind, their respective leaders would never allow it.

Therefore, the Tatar headquarters army that invaded the city was about half and half of the servant cannon fodder army, and the defenders' swords and guns could not tell which was the noble Tatar lord and which was the humble cannon fodder, so the number of Tatars killed in battle was equal to that of the cannon fodder. Cannon fodder is pretty much the same.From last night to today, there were nearly 3000 deaths and serious injuries each... With the medical level of the grassland, serious injuries equal death.

You know, the Tulu River fought fiercely with the Ming army, and the Tatars did not die so many sons, which made the leaders feel very distressed.

"I said long ago that the situation in the Great King City is special, and you must listen to my unified command." Seeing their dejected looks, Shi Niegan felt very relieved, and said unhurriedly: "But you don't listen to my orders. any idea?"

"We have listened. From now on, we will fight wherever you point..." The Tatar nobles hurriedly laughed.

"What if you don't want to listen?" Shi Niegan looked at Alutai who was watching his nose and heart, and said lightly: "There is no joke in the army."

"No, no, we swear it's not enough..." The Tatar nobles hurriedly swore: "Longevity is God, we promise to listen to Dataiji!"

Alutai was on the sidelines, and it seemed awkward no matter how he heard it. He felt that Shi Niegan's insistence on attacking the Great King City seemed to be a conspiracy to seize power.But the matter has come to this point, if he dares to withdraw his troops, he will be eaten alive by those Tatar nobles.The overall situation is the most important thing, so I can only let the bastard Shi Niegan perform to his heart's content.

'After this battle is over, let's see how I deal with you. The corner of Alutai's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't say anything after all.

.

At noon, the Tatar army re-entered the battle. This time they no longer blindly dispersed and advanced, but relied on the east wall, and invested in troops bit by bit, demolishing the earthen walls and houses blocking the road, and completely destroying the offensive of the defenders. Then they sent heavy troops to sweep the streets one by one.

Although this is slower, the Tatar army has always maintained a concentration of troops, so that the defenders have no chance to take advantage of it. They can only watch the Tatars demolish all the houses on the southeast side...

On the southern city wall, the defending general watched with a livid face as the Tatar army changed its strategy, taking advantage of its strength to fight steadily, advancing slowly from point to surface, gradually encroaching on their territory!
I have to admit that although this method is clumsy, it has given full play to their superiority in military strength, making the defenders like tigers eating the sky, with nowhere to speak...

The generals all looked at Chen Duo, who had performed outstandingly before, and hoped that he would come up with countermeasures.However, Chen Duo only ordered the ministries to 'do what they can, don't act recklessly', and stopped making any noise, just quietly watching the Tatar army demolish one fortification after another, pushing the front line continuously.By the time it got dark, the Tatars had already occupied the southeast corner of the Great King City, nearly one-third of the city.
