When a new day comes, Lan Yu is issuing orders, and Nanxiong Hou Zhao Yong, Jiangyin Hou Guanliang and others all obey his orders.
"This battle is a battle to establish prestige. We need to show the enemy that no matter how many enemies there are, they can never stop our Ming army. Although the army's strength is twice that of ours, our army can come whenever they want. You can leave if you want, what can you do to me?"
"Today we will attack and advance to Shenyang City. Tomorrow we will capture Shenyang City and destroy it, and then return to Liaoyang. All generals must work together to make *** suffer heavy losses but can do nothing to stop our army!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Many generals had no objections to Lan Yu's deployment. Because the battles in the past few days have proved that the presence of the car camp is equivalent to a moving city wall, which cannot be broken down at all with the ***'s combat power.
In the past few days, *** has not thought of various tricks.
A sneak attack at night failed; a desperate charge failed; a catapult smashed a car, but was destroyed by artillery...
The soldiers of the Ming Army often took advantage of the frustration of the Japanese offensive to fight back, causing greater casualties to the Japanese. If the soldiers of the Ming Army were injured, they could hide in the car camp to recuperate. Those who can't leave can lie down in the side car where the food has been consumed and follow the army's movements, so they don't have to worry about being left alone.
Although the Ming army was fighting in the field, it was as if they were defending a city.
These generals present had all experienced the wars during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so it was obvious. This truck camp is really a weapon against the Japanese. As long as the army's ammunition and food are not exhausted, the Japanese will never even think of breaking into the truck camp.
From Liaoyang to Shenyang, it is only one hundred and twenty miles. The first sixty miles passed by in a flash. For the next sixty miles, they pushed forward every day, and the attack only advanced ten miles in one day. Shenyang was already exposed to the front of the Ming army.
You know, under the siege of twice as many troops, they can still attack forward and reach the Shenyang City of the Yangtze River. This unstoppable situation boosted the morale of the Ming army's officers and soldiers, and at the same time dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese army. Let everyone in the army realize that sometimes, there is no advantage in having more troops.
On the *** side, watching the Ming army's car camp begin to attack and advance again under the cover of the cavalry, everyone was suddenly angry and yelling, but there was nothing they could do.
Harazhang looked at the two men under Naha's command, Gao Basi Temü'er and Hong Boyan Temü'er, and shouted loudly: "Didn't you say that the soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it? Go and block it, why don't you block it?" Why haven't you come yet?"
Gao Ba Si Te Mu'er and Hong Boyan Te Mu'er looked at each other, but neither of them answered. They all knew in their hearts that the Ming army was attacking with force and wanted to attack his lair, so it was reasonable to jump ahead like this.
However, the two of them don't care too much about Shenyang City, it's not their territory anyway.
So, I heard Gao Basi Tiemuer say: "The Han people have a saying that the final force of a strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Zun, so what if you give up Shenyang to them? Then we surround this Ming army in Shenyang City, isn't it? Come on?"
This is a pain in the butt. Shenyang City is Harazhang’s home base. Could he just give up?
Harazhang was naturally very angry after hearing this. He actually had conflicts with Naha, and he didn't really listen to what Naha had to say. The same is true. In the original history, he finally gave up Shenyang and ran to the Mongolian grasslands.
In the final analysis, Naha's ability to gather remnants depends on the queen of a famous family, not how strong he is! As for Harazhang himself, he doesn't travel much more than Naha. Therefore, he has the right to disobey Naha. This is where their conflict lies.
At this time, the Ming army attacked so strongly that they were about to attack his lair, but Naha Chu had not shown up yet, and the two men he sent were still unable to do their job, and even asked him to abandon his lair. How can you not be annoyed!
Just when Harazhang was about to get angry, Guantong arrived. The two of them had almost the same status in the Meng Yuan Dynasty. They immediately comforted Harazhang, saying that he had brought the Jurchen tribe and the Goryeo army. Their strength was almost three times that of the Ming army. They would definitely annihilate the Ming army and replace it. Harazhang vented his anger.
While they were still discussing, news came from the front that they could not block the Ming army's front.
The Goryeo army that has just arrived seems to have strict military discipline. At least on the surface, the Jurchen tribe on their side,
There was no formation at all. According to the distinction between their respective tribes, they were crowded into chaotic piles of people.
However, the 30,000 Korean troops stood neatly in a square formation.
However, whether it was the Jurchen tribe or the Goryeo army, their expressions were similar at this moment, and they were all looking at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.
They saw 70,000 to 80,000 Mongolian and Yuan troops, surrounding about 40,000 Ming troops inside, like a pack of wolves surrounding a hedgehog. They had no choice but to let the hedgehog move forward.
No, we have arrived at the foot of Shenyang City. Surrounded by several times the army's strength, the Ming army even assumed a posture of attacking the city.
This scene really surprised the newly arrived Jurchen tribe and the Goryeo army. For a moment, they couldn't understand why the Mongolian army did not dare to attack.
The Jurchen tribe, after coming back to their senses, began to point fingers at the battlefield, and unsurprisingly began to laugh at the Mongols' worries.
However, Goryeo's Li Chenggui was a little serious. He could see that the Ming army relied on the defense set up by those vehicles to restrain the Mongolian army's best cavalry harassment tactics.
However, there was one thing that he couldn't understand. Why did the Ming army persist in attacking Shenyang City when their military strength was so different? With so many troops watching, how could it be possible to break through the city?
Even if there is a car camp, so what? Once the siege begins, how will the Ming army deploy its troops?
If the siege force is too small, how can it be possible to defeat Shenyang City? If there are too many troops attacking the city, do we still need the back line of defense? I have never heard of someone being able to attack an enemy city while being surrounded by a large enemy army!
Ming Jun is kidding, right? Making fun of so many lives?
At this moment, Li Chenggui really couldn't understand!
But he believes in one thing, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster! If the Ming army can drive the Mongolian and Yuan armies out of the Central Plains, they cannot be fools!
However, no matter how Li Chenggui thought about it, he could not figure out what was the reason why the Ming army was so abnormal?
At this time, the Mongolian army sent envoys to ask the Jurchen tribe and Goryeo to attack the Ming army.
The Jurchen tribe thought this was an opportunity to pick up the slack, and several tribes happily passed by. However, although Li Chenggui agreed, he was procrastinating. Instead, it seemed that the Jurchen tribe had banned the implementation of the order, while the Goryeo army had problems with the implementation of military orders.
At this time, Li Chenggui discovered that the Ming army had completed its deployment and blocked three sides with those vehicles, leaving only one side facing Shenyang City. It seemed that they were preparing to attack the city!
What the hell? Did the Ming army really want to attack the city under such impossible circumstances?
Judging from the way the Mongolian soldiers at the top of Shenyang City are waiting, even if there are no peripheral Mongolian troops surrounding them, this city is probably not easy to attack, right?
Li Chenggui was thinking about it when suddenly he saw a few puffs of smoke coming out of the Ming army.
Then, he heard a huge roar.
"Boom boom boom..."
Almost at the same time, he discovered that at the Shenyang City Gate, clods of earth and wood were flying, and rocks were flying.
"Artillery, what kind of artillery is this?"
At this moment, Li Chenggui was stunned. I have been fighting for half my life, and I have never seen such a powerful artillery, so far away, that it blasted through the Shenyang city gate! A piece of the city wall where the city gate is located was also blasted.
How could this artillery be so powerful?
Don't talk about him. In fact, except for a small number of Mongolian ***, others have never even heard of the Yibo Cannon. In this age where guns and artillery are indistinguishable, it is understandable that when you suddenly see the power of cannons, you will be stunned.
Even the Mongolian soldiers who had heard of the barbarian cannon were stunned when they saw the power of the barbarian cannon for the first time.
If we say that most of the Hongyi cannons in the late Ming Dynasty were used to defend the city, it is actually a waste of the role of the Hongyi cannons. Obviously, the correct use of Hongyi cannon is to use Hongyi cannon when bombarding fixed targets, that is, when attacking cities.
Use method.
At this time, the barbarian cannon built in the early Ming Dynasty was the correct way to use it. The first time it was revealed in front of the enemy, it shocked everyone's jaws.
That's it, it's not over yet.
The war launched by Lan Yu on Xu Da's orders was, as he said, a battle to establish his authority.
In addition to the bombardment cannons, the Ming army also launched small catapults. While the enemy was still shocked by the power of the bombardment cannons, they threw explosive packages at the top of the city.
This is something that the enemies of the Ming Dynasty have never seen before. Seeing the explosive bag being thrown to the top of the city by the catapult, they are all a little confused, can this thing kill people? Why did the Ming army use catapults to throw soft objects instead of using such powerful artillery?
People who have this idea include everyone above and below them, including Li Chenggui.
However, just as they were thinking about it, the explosive package they projected exploded.
"Boom boom boom..."
It can be said that the visual effect of the explosion of the explosive pack was even more exaggerated. Thick smoke exploded on the top of Shenyang City, and shrapnel such as gravel and iron filings covered a large section of the city wall. The Mongolians above all fell to the ground crying for their fathers and mothers.
It can be said that few *** were killed on the spot, but this scene of injured and wailing was an even greater blow to morale.
Originally, when the Ming army attacked Shenyang City, they were a little bit ready to attack. Whether they wanted to take the opportunity to attack the enemy behind the Ming army or the Jurchen tribe, they all subconsciously stopped the attack and looked at the people on the other side of the city. movement.
"Boom boom boom..."
Smoke rose one after another, and explosives exploded at the top of the city and below the city.
Human instinct is to fear death. Even the most stubborn people will become frightened when they see this scene: because this kind of firearm is simply not something that the body can withstand!
Even if there were still some uninjured Mongolian soldiers on top of Shenyang City, they had fled far away from this section of the city wall. As for those who were injured, they continued to cry loudly.
Soon, groups of Ming army soldiers entered through the damaged city gate. Not long after, they appeared on the top of the city and occupied the undefended section of the city. The flag of the Ming Dynasty was flying on the top of the city, which was really eye-catching.
It was also at this time that the Mongolian *** came back to his senses.
Regardless of whether those subordinates were afraid of death, for the *** leader, this was simply a great shame and humiliation!
Even though it was several times larger than the Ming army, the Ming army easily captured a section of the city wall. If you don't take it back, will you still have the nerve to be an enemy of the Ming army?
As a result, large groups of policemen, driven by their leaders, attacked the occupied section of the city wall along the city wall.
"Don't be afraid. The Ming army is on top of the city. They will definitely not dare to fire."
"That's right, that kind of firearm will definitely not be used again, otherwise, they themselves will die too!"
"..."
I have to say that this reason does make sense. It also gives those attackers a lot of peace of mind.
The Ming army didn't have such powerful firearms, so what the hell was it to be afraid of? There are not many Ming troops on the top of the city. Under attack from both front and rear, they will definitely be able to quickly wipe out the Ming troops who attack the city!
No matter what, I can still save some face!
Most of the Japanese, as well as the Jurchen tribe and the Korean people, think so. Even if the Ming army that attacks the city can defeat ten of them, how long can they hold on?
Even Li Chenggui has this idea. But he still had ideas, but he couldn't figure out why the Ming army didn't send follow-up troops to continue the attack. They just left the five or six hundred Ming troops on the city. Did they want them to die?
His doubt soon had an answer.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
On the top of Shenyang City, the flintlock gun began to roar: I am here, and I am here!
The Ming army on both sides of the city wall used three-stage shooting to give the attackers a head-on blow.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Continuous
The gunshots and the continuous lead bullets took away the lives of wave after wave of policemen.
The height of the city wall allows everyone on the battlefield to see this scene, which is definitely the best place to perform.
Of course, this performance is a firearms performance by the Ming Army, including bombardment cannons, explosive packs, and the current fusilier array. In particular, the three-stage shooting method of combat opened the eyes of soldiers of this era.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
After the most courageous group of soldiers fell under the continuous gunfire, the following soldiers still dared to continue charging. Even if there is a supervising team behind them, they are not willing to face the continuous rain of bullets again.
On top of Shenyang City, it became quiet again after the corpses left on the ground receded.
Of course, this quiet means that the gunfire has disappeared. But those who were injured but not dead were still wailing.
The soldiers of the Ming army below the city looked at the scene on the top of the city. Surrounded by several times the enemy troops, they burst into loud cheers: "Wan Sheng!"
