Battle of Shuhan I
No. 1 Time and Space, Yizhou, Zitong.
The time flow rate at twice the speed makes the development of space-time in No. 1 seem to be changing with each passing day. It is now the end of 203! It has been three years since Li Zhe arrived here as a Tianshi!
Since Liu Zhang ascended the throne in Chengdu with the support of a group of old and young men from the Han Dynasty who fled to Yizhou at the beginning of the year, and announced that he would inherit the orthodox Han Dynasty and officially establish the Shu Han Dynasty. It immediately aroused the excitement of the Ming Empire. The cabinet and the Privy Council finally could not suppress the military situation that was about to move. The battle to attack Shu had to officially enter the fast lane stage. With the full support of the huge national strength of the Ming Empire, the Shu road that was once difficult as the sky has become no longer so difficult. After more than half a year of fierce fighting, the Shu strategy has come to an end!
Zitong City is the southernmost end of Shu Road. The terrain begins to be flat and is already the hinterland of Shu Kingdom. After passing here, Chengdu is not far away. After capturing this city, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now under Zitong City, there is a dazzling silver-white reflection all over the mountains. The first, second and third regiments of the Fuyuan Army gather here. In addition, the 50,000 to 60,000 engineers provided support with the army, the Ming army flocked to the crowded water blockages of the small Zitong Plain.
From Hanzhong, Jiange, and Jiameng Pass to fight here along the rugged Shu Road, the soldiers of the Fuyuan Army were exhausted, and even the generals Cao Hong and Zhang Xiu who had experienced many battles were a little tired.
No one expected that the battle to challenge Shu would be so difficult!
...
The tragic battle began in Jiange!
"Emperor! Jiange is the first Jedi pass on the Shu Road. If you are a man, you will be able to open tens of thousands of men. As long as we can block the Ming army at the Jiangge Pass, the baggage of the entire Ming army will be trapped on the Qinling Plank Road that is hundreds of miles long. In a few months, the arduous and dangerous situation on the plank road will completely trap Wei Wenchang's army's advance, allowing him to retreat without fighting!"
"Yes! This statement makes sense. We, the land of Shu, have always been full of natural barriers and rely on these Jedi defenses! Even the army of the Ming Dynasty will definitely return without success. These traitors and traitors will not want to see the orthodox Han Dynasty!"
...
In the court, after a fierce debate, the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han finally established the defense strategy in the north. The general of Shu Han, Zhang Ren, was given the important task to defend the northern Hanzhong.
"In this way, it depends on you! Zhang Qing's family! I will entrust you with my country's destiny this time!" Liu Zhang went down the steps, held Zhang Ren's hand with tears in his eyes, with deep expectations...
Zhang Ren wiped his tears, stopped thinking about the past, waved away his fatigue, walked to the enemy situation platform on the peak of Jueling again, and looked at the Ming army at Jiange Pass a few miles away.
...
The infantry artillery fire covered Jiange City without any cone-standing land. Tons of incendiary bombs burned the city walls even red! On the fire that ravaged the entire Guancheng, the thick smoke rising from bees surged hundreds of meters high.
"I don't believe it! Under such a fire, these Shu Han people can survive?" Zhang Xiu said viciously. Cao Hong beside him agreed.
The battle in Jiange was extremely fierce from the beginning. The Fuyuan Army attacked with traditional siege tactics, but was furiously counterattacked by the defenders! From the beginning of the official entry of Shu, these officers and soldiers charged wildly like chicken blood. Even if the Fuyuan Army's firearms had the advantage, the damage was not small.
Without cannons to be transported over the plank road, Zhang Xiu had no choice but to use such a household strategy!
All the grassroots troops, every army, and every rocket launcher were concentrated, and a total of nearly a thousand launchers were launched simultaneously. The incendiary bombs that could almost cover the sky fell on the Jiange Pass City. Immediately, the flames were beating, and everything on Jiange fell into the sea of fire. You could vaguely see and hear countless human bodies running and shouting in the fire!
Blood and tears flowed out from Zhang Ren's eyes...
Two days later, the fire at the Jiange Pass was extinguished, and the engineers drove a temporarily assembled excavation machine to open the way. After a week of excavation, they cleared the burned embers and freed up a road to march! The large Ming army troops rushed in and broke into the Shu Road.
The Shu Road is still difficult and dangerous, with ridges on both sides, and there is only a small path in the middle. The marching troops pull the scattered line and move forward with caution!
Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the sky, and the sentry of the airship sent out a signal, there was an enemy situation!
"Kill!" On both sides of the mountain road, arrows were raining like rain. A general in front rushed out, and a large number of Shu soldiers rushed out from behind, blocking the avenue, and howled towards the Ming army!
The Ming army's front army was already familiar with such battles. While retreating carefully, they poured ammunition into both sides. The powerful braking ability of the large-caliber flintlock rifle bullets bombed the body of each enemy who rushed up. Except for some unlucky ghosts who were shot at the critical moment, the Ming army's strong defense armor made the front army not hurt!
"Stay! Stay! Keep the firepower of the volleyball!" Junhou Wang Ping shouted desperately, directing his subordinates' battle, while running back,
"Where is Santun? Where is Santun? Ask Santun to come up quickly! The firepower here can no longer support it!"
"As for orders! Tiger soldiers!" The generals of Santun followed and took his soldiers to make up. Two hundred soldiers gathered together, and finally formed a continuous rain of bullets, suppressing the counterattack of the Shu army. Hundreds of Shu army's bodies were torn to pieces by powerful gun bullets! The remaining limbs piled up on the road quickly became several meters high.
The second gate general saw that the enemy's formation had obviously become soothing, and suddenly shouted and jumped out of the cover.
"Clash with me! For the sake of the Emperor!" He thrust the bayonet and climbed up the hill made of corpses first!
Fight! Long live your Majesty!
Hundreds of Ming troops started charging, quickly rushing through the enemy's blockade line, suppressing the Shu army back nearly a hundred meters away. The Ming army behind was inspired and began to rush upward continuously! It was about to rush through this cliff crack!
At this moment, a loud bang was rumbling, like a dragon turning over, and the earth suddenly began to tremble. The soldiers' eyes began to turn black in the violent bumps, and their hands and feet were not in control, but they could still see that the sky and the earth were rotating, and the scenery changed drastically. The mountains on both sides suddenly fell into the middle, and the huge rocks fell down, burying themselves and everything in front of them!
Tens of thousands of tons of rocks were pouring down like flowing water, burying the entire mountain road in the blink of an eye! Hundreds of soldiers charged by the Ming army, together with the Shu army opposite themselves, were buried below!
**!
The Shu army finally began to use this last resort that was extremely valuable to them!
Wang Ping climbed out of the dust with difficulty, looked at everything in front of him, and was completely shocked!
...
The Battle of Jiange opened up a new combat mode. The Shu army resisted step by step in the narrow Shu Road. When faced with the intensive firepower attack of the Ming army and could not resist, they began to prepare for the slaughter, covering the roads and people under tens of tons of rocks, blocking the Ming army's attack! This approach is quite efficient on the natural barrier of Shu Road! The effect of a ton of * is enough to make the Ming army's battle progress of life worthless for several days!
From this moment on, the destructive firepower began to retreat to the secondary position. The Ming generals on all fronts had to start constantly sending messages. The battle reports like snowflakes were sent back to the rear, and there were endless urging the engineering troops to follow up. Only the engineering troops could open the way and be able to match this combat method.
On the front of hundreds or thousands of miles, the Shu army and the Ming army began to compete between human ability to destroy the environment and build the ability!
The battle situation begins to become long again!
...
"Aren't they afraid of death, and they rushed towards muskets in a swarm?" The news of the battle reached thousands of miles away, and even the ministers who were accustomed to life and death were shocked by it in Xu Du's cabinet.
In the confrontation between the Shu Han army and the Ming army, the resistance attitude of the Shu Han army and the civilians showed was particularly troubled by the Ming army. The farmers in the whole village often followed the Shu Han army to launch suicide attacks on the Ming army with no life! It was difficult for the military and civilians to distinguish them. The Ming army had to slaughter them all, and the road they were all in white, and the country of Tianfu was now full of life.
Guo Jia sneered:
"This is not my Ming army, but I can only blame those monarchs and ministers of Shu Han who are obsessed with greed. Since last year, they have learned the propaganda methods such as the imperial newspapers and the Tianshidao preaching meeting. They have tried their best to vilify the image of our imperial army among the villagers. A year later, the people of Shu Han were locked up in Shu and do not know the outside world. The image of the empire has long been slandered by those scholars as completely evil ghosts! They all think that the conquest of our Ming army against Shu Han is to destroy the Shu people. In such a desperate situation, how could they not resist! The methods of these scholars of Shu Han made our Privy Council look at each other with admiration!
Hum! Actually, my intelligence department’s investigation and strategy plan for Shu has long been reported, and I have long said that I would like to attack Shu as soon as possible, but everyone... Hum! They are all a group of people with corpses and food!"
The cabinet ministers were dull and looked at each other by Guo Jia's rare reprimand.
...
Although the situation was bad, the battle continued without hesitation. The Ming army on the North Road was difficult to advance, but the East Road opened up the situation!
The Zhennan Army and the navy traveled west along the Yangtze River. Cao Ren fought in Baidi City and concentrated all the mountain cannons, rocket launchers and crossbows. After nearly half a month of shells, they shot out in one go, turning Baidi City into ruins. Tens of thousands of troops were killed by Shu Han general Yan Yan. The Zhennan Army captured Yong'an and opened the door to the eastern part of Shu Han!
In an emergency, Shu Han had to hurry to mobilize the last army in Mianyang to train to defend the north, march eastward, and resist the army of Cao Ren, the army in the eastern Zhennan army!
Shu Han, the last place for the scholars of the former great Han Dynasty, entered the countdown to destruction!<
