1576, Battle on the high wall of the industrial area
The high wall in the industrial area is a two-meter-thick concrete reinforced concrete wall. It is fifteen meters high, two meters thick at the bottom, and narrows at the top. At the top of the wall, it is only ten centimeters thick, and is plastered in half with cement mortar.
Even the smooth sparrows on the round wall couldn't stand.
Every fifty meters on the wall, there is a 20-meter-high turret. This turret is rectangular and spans the inside and outside of the high wall. The base is 15 meters high and is made of cement and granite. The top 5 meters is divided into two
The height of the first floor is 3.5 meters. There are shooting ports on all sides.
The second floor has a crenel with a height of 1.5 meters. There is a base on the platform, on which a 30mm six-barreled Gatling cannon is installed.
This kind of machine gun has a range of up to two thousand meters. Because of its large caliber, it can use either single-point bullets or small steel ball shotguns. It contains thirty small steel ball shotshells, and its range is only three hundred meters. But its firepower is very powerful.
These bunkers are guarded by soldiers from the security regiment. They wear black uniforms and carry black flags. They were enslaved and became black leather soldiers.
There is also a battalion of servants wearing green clothes. They are green-skinned soldiers who make Jiannu fearful.
At this time, after ten days of holding on in the shantytowns on the two flanks, the vigor of the Jiannu had been greatly frustrated. These days, the continuous failures had made them frustrated and exhausted. Now after withdrawing, the Jiannu will face the industrial zone.
of high wall fortifications.
Huang Taiji had mixed feelings in his heart. This feeling of seeing but not being able to eat was very unpleasant.
Everyone knows that as long as they open the high gray wall in the distance, there will be enough steel for Jianzhou for a hundred years, ten years of food, and various supplies that they urgently need. Listen to the spies' reports. When Zunhua City was destroyed
, at least one million pieces of cloth were transported by merchants in the city. There were even countless grains.
Although they occupied the largest county seat and the richest city in Beizhili, they only caught some small fish and shrimps. All the big fish hid in the industrial zone.
But the huge casualties in front of him made Huang Taiji very confused.
Previously, the Mongols looted the fields and gained a lot. They robbed a lot of people and finances. They had enough to eat. This time they were the most active in attacking the industrial zone, but now, even Neqi Khan has been killed by explosives.
He was killed in the explosion. More than a dozen other Taijis were killed.
Now, no matter how Huang Taiji coerces and induces them, they won't do it anymore. If they fight again, they can only go up to the Eight Banners. Because the Han army flags were also disabled. More than 3,000 people died. The Internet is close to 10%. In this era, the army
If it can withstand a 10% mortality rate without collapsing or escaping, it is considered a very good army.
Modern historians have statistics that at its peak, the Qing army would collapse if only 15% of its soldiers were killed. Although the Qing army had strong individual combat capabilities, they were not a very tough army. That is why they were very
The less likely they are to flee, the more everyone can defeat them. They have never encountered such a situation.
The atmosphere in the big tent was dull. Daishan also sighed as his eggplant shriveled.
His true red flag, a thousand people died, not even a hair was recovered. The bridge and gate are still standing there, with no changes except for the dead bodies in front of them.
"Everyone, let's discuss whether we should attack this industrial zone. If we continue to attack, how should we attack it?" Huang Taiji asked.
All the Mongolian tribesmen present here stopped talking. During this period, they thought that if they were allowed to take the lead, they could continue to pick up bargains like looting in the wild. But they encountered a hard nail. The barricade battle between two shantytowns defeated them.
Almost cried.
Now it seems that they have no ability to attack the high gray wall. They all stopped talking.
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Huang Taiji knew that the Mongols had reached their limit. If they were forced, they might leave. Looking at Li Yongfang, he also had a sad face. More than 40,000 Han soldiers were used as cannon fodder along the way.
Already.
Now it is less than 30,000. If Huang Taiji hadn't replenished him with the Ming army that surrendered in Zunhua, he would have given up this time.
Now the situation is obvious. If you want to fight, you have to go up to the Eight Banners. If you don't fight, you will retreat. A force is left to look at the industrial area. They have less than 10,000 troops and dare not leave the turtle shell. The army continues to march westward.
.They have wasted ten days here.
In the past two days, news came that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was summoning soldiers and horses from all walks of life. I am afraid that many soldiers and horses will arrive in ten days. They were coveting the supplies in the industrial zone, but they did not expect that they were fooled and delayed for so long.
Huang Taiji thought about it, if he didn't attack the industrial area, his morale would probably drop sharply. Since the dispatch of troops, the Jianzhou warriors have been suppressed by the greenskins, which will not be a good thing in the long run. If fear is formed, see
Just hide when the greenskins come to you, that won't work.
Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, "I must fight."
"Tomorrow morning, the Eight Banners will dispatch to attack the industrial area." Huang Taiji made the final decision.
The next day, the Eight Banners army was deployed in full force. They approached from three directions. The two shantytowns were basically in ruins. Under the bombardment of mortars and heavy artillery, they were almost reduced to rubble. The high gray walls of the industrial area had been exposed.
.
The Eight Banners carried ladders, and the large troops advanced from three directions. In front of them were carts, pushing hard among the rubble. A large number of archers entered the ruins of the shantytowns on both sides, looking for the commanding heights, bent their bows and nocked arrows and began to shoot
.
The arrows fired by thirty thousand archers fell on the high wall like a heavy rain.
Luo Siyuan curled his lips. This dense rain of arrows was effective against the Ming army in the field, but it was useless against them. Yinwei and the others were all in the artillery tower. They were all inside the fortifications, and the arrows all fell on the cement.
, was bounced away.
Moreover, the high wall here is really just a high wall. There is no horse path and no one is guarding it. What's the use of throwing light arrows.
Jiannu ejaculated for a while, but saw that the other party didn't respond. He didn't fight back and felt something was wrong. But he didn't know what was going on.
Huang Taiji looked at them for a while and said: "Don't worry, if they don't resist, we will rush forward."
As long as you attack it, everything will be clear naturally. There is no need to be suspicious, just attack it boldly.
With the sound of a cannon, the signal to attack was launched. More than 10,000 people from the Eight Banners rushed up like a tide. They jumped and ran in the ruins, carrying the lengthened ladder. This time, they made a long ladder seriously, and they can definitely do it.
Build a fifteen meter high wall. You won’t make any more mistakes.
The attack went very smoothly, and they did not encounter a single counterattack. They used trench-filling trucks to cover the moat. After crossing the moat, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers set up ladders at the base of the wall and then climbed hard.
Oboi took the lead with his Jia La. He had just been promoted and was at his most motivated. He wanted to show the Khan what he was capable of.
