Chapter 319: Capture of Jinyang
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qin Lian shook his head helplessly and returned to Yanzhou with his army.
In this way, a battle full of conspiracy and extremely absurd ended abruptly with the loss of tens of thousands of precious lives.
When Zhao Hui learned about this, there was no surprise on his face, as if everything was within his expectations.
He placed Li Meng's army under Xing Shuren's command, as a reserve force for himself.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of October, and snowflakes have begun to fall in some parts of the north.
The weather in Bingzhou is bitterly cold, but the weather is sunny for many days.
"Everyone, this time we will storm Jinyang City. Our vanguard battalion will use artillery to attack the city. After the city is broken, your battalions will attack the city together."
This meeting was chaired by Fan Xitong, who had a serious expression and a resolute gaze. The number of combat battalions had suddenly increased from three to seven.
Jinyang is a large city, with a large and powerful garrison. It would be no easy task to drive Shi Li away. October.
In the early morning, a thin layer of mist hung over Jinyang City.
The thirty mortars of the Vanguard Battalion stood side by side with the sixty mortars of Xu Gang's Regiment, and there were also ten infantry guns on standby in the front, forming a magnificent artillery formation.
Without waiting for the mist to completely dissipate.
Fan Xitong, who was commanding the battle, decisively ordered: "Fire!"
After receiving the order, the guards walked out of the door quickly and shouted loudly: "Commander-in-chief's order, fire the cannon."
"Yes, fire!"
"It's firing!"
"Yes, open..."
The messengers lined up in a long line and passed the order one by one until it reached the artillery position.
"Boom, boom boom!"
The infantry gun aimed at the city gate, and ten shells roared away like wild horses.
“Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
The sound of the shells breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, and it instantly shattered the city gate.
Although the soldiers on the city had seen the power of cannons, this was the first time they had seen such a unique flight trajectory and the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air.
Although it felt incredible, he could barely accept the amazing power of the cannon.
The soldiers on the city wall hurriedly untied the gun covers of the cannons.
In fact, as early as when figures appeared outside the city, they had already received intelligence and knew that someone was attacking the city today.
The gunpowder and bullets in the barrel have already been loaded and can be fired at any time.
"Good general, we can't reach it at this distance!" A ? tribe gunner said with a frown, looking into the distance.
"Well, it's just two hundred steps away." The good general on duty on the city wall nodded and said.
He was completely confused, not understanding why the enemy's cannon, which looked smaller than his own, had such a long range.
The most important thing is that the cannons on the opposite side are not only accurate, but also extremely powerful!
While thinking.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
All they could hear were whistles whistling in the sky, and shells with wisps of white smoke coming towards their heads.
It seems that this thing is a cannonball...
The good general was still pondering the result.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
It exploded in the air, like a sand dune being blown up, and debris scattered everywhere.
The steel columns in the shells poured down like a rainstorm.
The Luancheng mortar relies on a fuse to ignite and explode, and shortening the fuse can achieve the effect of an airburst.
The killing area is extremely wide.
Moreover, the damage to the city wall is relatively reduced.
Not only the top of the city wall, but also the garrison behind the city were attacked by countless steel pillars, giving them the desperate illusion that they had nowhere to hide.
The mission of the infantry artillery was to bombard the city gate. After completing the mission, the artillerymen felt bored.
In fact, they also have blooming air-burst bombs.
But these are all used to attack infantry and cavalry.
They must not use it without orders.
Mortars bombarded the city continuously, occasionally reaching the top of the city, and the direction of attack was from the inside to the outside.
The parapet is no longer a reliable shelter.
Hundreds of shells were fired, and tens of thousands of marbles burst out.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Fan Xitong issued the order for a general attack.
"Pass the order down, all units' attack teams will set off."
After receiving the order, the team formed by the joint forces of the aristocratic families rushed into the city like a tide.
Xu Gang and Zhao Yongqiang's brigade was no exception, with the infantrymen leading the way with guns in hand.
Soon, the city wall was successfully captured.
The cannons on the city wall that had not yet been fired were turned around as trophies.
Street fighting broke out.
With the support of rifles, the coalition forces were almost invincible.
The coalition forces used their shields as cover, and bullets were continuously fired from behind the shields, advancing with unstoppable force.
When Shi Li heard the battle report, he knew that his situation was hopeless.
In fact, he had also received a notification from the coalition forces before this.
The issue described in the notice is very simple: everything must give way to the expressway.
However, Shi Li still felt that he had the strength to fight hard.
I didn't expect that I would be so vulnerable.
It seems that even if you have powerful weapons, you can only use them against enemies with inferior weapons.
The aristocratic family successfully occupied Jinyang and immediately began to divide the city's business areas.
The army remained firmly in the hands of the coalition forces.
This is a fact that was agreed upon in advance and cannot be changed.
Shi Li's withdrawal from Jinyang was actually well prepared. Guwu County was his base camp, so he could only return in disgrace with all his personnel and supplies.
It can be said that we have returned to the time before liberation.
After all the efforts of the ? clan for a long time, they still had to return home.
……
Luancheng.
County Palace.
Zhao Sheng received the battle report and Jinyang City was successfully captured.
Zhao Sheng was not surprised by this.
Everything is under control.
"Have they found all the materials and personnel needed to make cannons and gunpowder?"
Zhao Sheng looked calm and asked calmly.
Those who can pass on information in the Princess's Mansion are all Zhao Sheng's close confidants.
The person who came was Zhao Yongsheng.
"According to insider information, Shi Li has taken all these supplies away."
Zhao Yongsheng lowered his eyelids and said helplessly.
"What a shame! This way, we can't stop them from continuing to manufacture new weapons, and these weapons are even spreading abroad."
Hearing Zhao Yongsheng say this, Zhao Sheng could only feel regretful.
Zhao Yongsheng looked up at Zhao Sheng, knowing his thoughts, and then said:
"During this street fighting, the small artillery they manufactured caused hundreds of casualties to our coalition forces, including over a hundred casualties in Zhao Yongqiang's vanguard battalion."
"Tell me in detail what happened." Zhao Sheng frowned and asked patiently.
"The battle of Pingyang was easy. This time in Jinyang, they still used their usual tactics. They didn't expect to encounter small-scale resistance in some alleys. The enemy used small artillery, which was extremely lethal."
"Well, that's to be expected, so how did we resolve it?"
Zhao Sheng's voice was not loud, but Zhao Yongsheng could sense his inner restlessness, so he continued to explain:
"The soldiers who were charging were a bit nervous. They relied on their weapons to continuously suppress the enemy, sending people forward, and finally used grenades to eliminate the enemy."
"Stupid!" Zhao Sheng suddenly became furious, gritting his teeth and saying, "Why don't they use the rockets they were given? Doesn't every commando team have them?"
"The incident happened suddenly, and the teams were spread out too widely. We were anxious to capture Jinyang in the shortest possible time, so not every team was there."
Zhao Yongsheng was not frightened by Zhao Sheng's furious attitude, but explained patiently.
"Oh, forget it. We need to focus on intensive training in this area in the future, and also incorporate RPG rockets into daily training. If necessary, we can also make some small mortars."
Mr. Zhao comes from the future and knows that changes on the battlefield are not only a contest of logistics, but also a confrontation between weapons.
"Yes." Zhao Yongsheng took out his notebook and carefully wrote down his intentions.
"Properly settle the families of military martyrs who died in battle and provide comfort to them."
"Yes." Zhao Yongsheng lowered his head and continued to record.
The battlefield is a cruel game of life and death. Zhao Sheng also understands that there will definitely be casualties, but he is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see anyone sacrificed.
