Chapter 130 They are all good servants of the Qing Dynasty!
"Finally come out!"
Yang Qing said with satisfaction.
In the Wusheng Gate that was opened in front, a large number of soldiers were pouring out. On the right side of the city gate, half of the collapsed city wall had collapsed under the constant bombardment of 30 kilograms of artillery shells, and half of it was piled up on the moat like a landslide mountain. This was the harvest of 240 artillery shells.
But only one-third of the hits were hit.
Although the city wall has not been completely broken open, it is actually almost done.
If the soldiers' casualties are not considered, the general attack can be launched at this time. Let the cannon fodders rush up to fill the moat, whether they fill it with soil or corpses, in short, the meaning of cannon fodders is to fill the trenches. If they don't go, they will directly kill them and practice the law. Then the suicide squad attacks the slope with heavy armor and long swords, and then the soldiers keep squeezing forward. Even if they step on the dead bodies piled up on the slope, they will be enough to rush up to the city wall. Once they reach the city, they will continue to expand the breakthrough and occupy the city gate area, put down the suspension bridge and open the cavalry outside the city gate and rushed in...
As for street fighting, there are generally no cases.
In the era of cold weapons, unless there is a belief in the whole city like Jiangyin, there will be no battles like street fighting.
Obviously, the people of Wuchang will not have the belief that they will die.
Zuo Liangyu also knew this very well.
In the end, he chose to go out of the city to fight, otherwise he would probably not be able to hold on to tomorrow. It would be meaningless to defend the city. On the contrary, the decisive battle behind the city, which was not worthwhile, became the most cost-effective for him at this time. By the way, he was indeed planning, but he really didn't expect Yang Qing to get such a terrifying cannon!
Compared with these, the Red Cannon is just a small firecracker!
A large piece of the city wall collapses in one shot!
The Ming army counterattacked Luanzhou Red Armored Cannons for three days, but now they have knelt before they reach the city wall.
Since he came out, it would be simple.
"Line up to fight!"
Huang Degong shouted immediately.
Yang Qing ignored him and retreated directly to the dock on the shore.
The matter of commanding the army does not require Yang Jue to worry about it, and the terrain here is not suitable for the heavy cavalry assault he is used to. In total, a small soft wetland two miles wide is two miles wide, with the Yangtze River on one side and the Shahu Lake. Infantry can be as dense as possible on such a battlefield and there is no flanking. Not only can the cavalry not run but also has to bear the maximum density of firepower. This is a battlefield that is purely an infantry. In addition, Shahu and Donghu Lake in this era are a whole, so there is no possibility of cavalry going around.
The battle was over the vast lake area that he had already finished.
Besides, he doesn't need to take action in such a battle himself. As a military supervisor, he needs to watch the battle.
"Sir!"
Zhang Mingzhen welcomed him on his ship.
"Line up the warships along the river, aim all the guns at the enemy, let the brothers raise the guns to the maximum, and keep bombing in the dense areas of the enemy."
Yang Qing said.
Zhang Mingzhen immediately sent an order.
All the artillery of all the navy warships on the river were aimed at the left and quickly started a competition-like bombardment.
The latter was forming a formation at this time, and the shelling from the flanks made them quite chaotic.
However, these shells can only be harassing, because there are no heavy artillery on these inland warships, and a thousand-pound Franz aircraft is already considered large, and it will be exhausted after flying over a few hundred meters, unless the shell is in the middle and it will be difficult to kill people.
Among the small shells that were falling, the 20,000 infantrymen attacking from the left completed the array.
Huang Degong also completed the array.
Neither side could invest too much force, and the terrain limited the scale of the battle, so Huang Degong could only fight with the same number of infantry. He was eager to show that he did not let the imperial camps in the future fight, but his two divisions, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, were each part of him. Wang Zhiren's imperial camp continued to protect the artillery positions and maintain the artillery attack.
"Who is that?"
Yang Qing raised his telescope and said, looking at the commander in the left.
"Li Guoying, Hao Xiaozhong, Xu Yong!"
Zhang Mingzhen looked at the banner and said his name.
Of course, it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to go out of the city to command such a battle himself, and Zuo Menggeng would not. In fact, Zuo Liangyu should be watching the battle in an inconspicuous place on the city wall at this time. Anyway, it is definitely impossible for him to show up in public, after all, there are still cannons waiting for him.
"These three people are from his personal soldiers and fifth battalion."
Zhang Mingzhen added.
Yang Qing nodded.
One is the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, the other is the third-class Adahaha, and the last one is the third-class man who died in battle for Chenzhou to defend against Yongli for our Qing Dynasty, and he is also posthumously named Zhongjie! By the way, these are all good servants of our Qing Dynasty! However, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates did not have any real talents, and there was only Jin Shenghuan, but he was not in Wuchang. There were Ma Jinzhong and Huiden prime minister left. However, these were not his confidants, but surrendered peasant army. These people were just a simple dependence with him. Even if Zuo Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in history, Ma Jinzhong did not follow him but went south with another general Wang Yuncheng to join He Tengjiao.
The latter is also Zuo Liangyu's confidant.
And he was also the main general, but he was obviously defeated by cruel facts in the later period. Although he always followed Nan Ming, he was just like a walking corpse, ashamed of his loud nickname as the Iron Cavalry King.
At this time, the war between the two sides began.
However, such a battle has no appreciation value at all. After being worse than the bad battlefield in the battleground of the bad Guannei for more than ten years, the tactical level of the Ming army can be said to have plummeted, and there is no sign of Qi Jiguang at all. Of course, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have been so compatible. The Ming army now has neither tactics nor qualities. It is purely a group of farmers holding weapons. At most, they are more familiar with weapons. The battle is nothing more than setting up a formation, first holding cannons of various calibers in front of the formation, and then the cannon fodders move forward with swords, spears, bird guns, etc., and after getting closer, they fired at the bird guns. After firing for a few rounds, they started charging, and finally launched a chaotic battle...
No wonder the Eight Banners, which were originally not so bad, collapsed immediately in history.
The generals also have no real command.
Even if Huang Degong is the same.
He was just a little bit lighter. At this time, he was behind the formation and was waiting for the cannon fodders to consume their opponents almost and then attack! It should be said that the current Ming generals have the tactics that they know that the mobs under their command are worthy of being cannon fodder. Since this is the case, they should treat them as cannon fodder! Anyway, such people are all reversing in a blink of an eye.
There are no generals who study weapon configuration like Qi Jiguang, formulate reasonable tactics, and always strictly maintain military training.
Now it's just worse.
The same is true for his opponent.
Li Guoying and three others from the rear of the front line in the left were also waiting for the opportunity with their elite confidants.
“Dangling!”
Yang Qing said with a gloomy face.
He wanted to curse such a battle.
Zhang Mingzhen was excited and immediately ordered his ship to dock.
Of course, it is impossible for Zuo Jun to be without defense.
At the same time, Hanyang Gate opened, a team of cavalry rushed out of the city, leaning on the river embankment to block the direct artillery fire on the river surface, and quickly lined up outside Hanyang Gate, waiting for counterattack Yang Qing's landing.
While they completed the array, Zhang Mingzhen's ship docked. Yang Qing, who had already grabbed a glider, ran forward with Shuangyu on the deck at full speed. The speed of up to 70 kilometers per hour made him rise before leaving the deck, and then quickly led to a height of more than ten meters. Then due to the sudden drop in speed, he quickly glided and fell under the weight, but with this point of gliding, he still stepped onto the river bank steadily. Almost at the moment of landing, the cannon fire on the opposite city wall shone brightly.
Four shells hit the river embankment in front of him, causing dirt to splash.
Yang Qing started running forward with his glider wings on his back. Just as he rushed to the river embankment, the cavalry attacking across from the right arrived.
At least five hundred cavalrymen carried spears on their horses like surging mountain torrents, surging in the narrow corridor between the river embankment and the city walls.
Yang Qing jumped up suddenly after running a few steps on the river embankment.
The lift of the glider led him to jump up to more than ten meters again.
The cavalry below flocked to him.
Then he fell into the cavalry with his men and gliders. At least five spears below were stabbed straight at the same time with screams. Yang Qing twisted his body in the air to avoid these spears and kicked a cavalry. The next moment he brought the glider with a wingspan of ten meters above his head, covering the cavalry like a big net. A chaotic curse immediately sounded in the latter, accompanied by their curses, Yang Qing fell between the two war horses, and instantly swept the two hands left and right.
The war horses on both sides fell down in a wail.
And he rushed out of the cover of the glider at the fastest speed.
The cavalry covered by gliders behind him were in chaos. The cavalry behind him who had no time to stop immediately collided among them. The spectacular scene of people tilting up and overturning immediately. Yang Qing ignored the chaos he created behind him like Domino and walked straight forward. He was running wildly, raised his hand and hooked an officer next to him. While pulling him off the horse, he leaped his horse on his body, and then grabbed the horse's belly with both legs. The war horse ran forward with anger. Yang Qing spread his hands and instantly cut open the bodies of the two cavalrymen.
At this time, he was already in front.
Then he turned his horse's head to the right.
At this time, it was fully displayed on the battlefield in front of him. A large number of elite infantry and a small number of cavalry were coming towards him. It was Xu Yong and his more than a thousand subordinates who saw the situation here. The cavalry on his right side also made chaos created by the gliding wings, as if they were bypassing the torrent of the reefs. In both directions, nearly two thousand enemy troops were like open iron pliers, clamping towards him with fierce momentum. The shells shot from the city wall were constantly passing by above his head...
But he smiled.
Then he saw him simply carrying Shuangyu to his shoulders, sitting upright on the war horse, facing the vast river, and taking a deep breath...
"Those who killed Xu Yong were rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and the other people who turned against each other were fifty taels!"
Suddenly, he was like a landlady, yelling at the enemy troops close to him.
