Three or four huge explosions rang continuously by the wall of Nancheng in Guangdezhou .-
Many Qing soldiers have played many times with the merchant army, but in the past battles, such a violent explosion has never been seen. It suddenly felt that the mountains were shaking, and the stone was shocked. Between the smoke rising, dozens of Qing soldiers, together with different sizes, were driven by violent air waves, flying over the air. There are still many Qing troops vomiting blood and dying to the ground. After the gradual scattered, the walls of Guangxi Prefecture had four large gaps with a wide number of feet wide.
The merchant army digs the tunnel. Of course, I don't want to enter the city of Guangzheng from the ground, but just dig the tunnel into the wall of the city, and then use blasting to bomb the city wall to open the gap in the attack on the troops of the siege. This kind of tunnel blasting tactics, It was very common in the war in the early twentieth century in the early twentieth century, and it also announced the complete end of the city wall era. In China, until the domestic war, this tactic was often used.
Shang Yi knows that in the future war, a large city with a strong city defense is a problem that the merchant's army cannot get around. When the black gunpowder is limited, and the metal taper cone -shaped warhead cannot be created, I want to use artillery to use artillery artillery. It is very difficult to open the stone wall of the stone, so it can only be used to use this tunnel blasting tactics to achieve the purpose of destroying the city wall and opening the gap. This tactic has also become a business army trying to use a new siege tactics.
The Merchant Army chose a total of four blasting points by the South City Wall in Guangxi. The two cities in the east and west are actually to cover up people's ears. Although the power of the explosion of black gunpowder is average, this time a total of more than 3,000 pounds of black gunpowder is used. Come to change the quality, and the city wall of Guangdezhou is not very strong, so after the explosion, the city walls of Guangdezhou were also exploded in four gaps. He was killed.
However, in the lack of experience in blasting, the merchant army also paid considerable value. When there were two tunnels blasting, some soldiers were accidentally killed because they did not exit enough safe distances. Li also shocked a part of the tunnel wall. Nearly a hundred soldiers were buried by the soil. Although it was desperately rescued, there were still some soldiers who died of suffocation.
However, from the perspective of the entire war, it was very smooth. After the blasting was generated, the soldiers who had already entered the trenches immediately climbed out of the trenches, as if suddenly emerging from the ground, and the blasting blasting. The gap that opened the past. Because there were seven or eight vertical trenches, they all dug at the city wall of only about 20 or 30 steps away from Guangdezhou. At this time, the smoke generated by the explosion has not been scattered.
And due to the huge impact of the blasting just now, the Qing soldiers who were within dozens of steps near the gap in the city wall were bombed and died. From time to time, they were shocked, and they had not returned, and the Qing army was preparing to use the mud sandbags that filled the gap. They did not know that they flew there.
Therefore, before the Qing army had time to block the gap, the assault forces of the Merchant Army had killed the gap. For how to seize the gaps that had been opened, the merchant army had sufficient experience. When the famous soldiers rushed near the gap, they first cast a grenade, and took advantage of the explosion of the grenade to rush through the gap and entered the city of Guangzheng.
Until then, the Qing soldiers reacted, and they hurriedly faced each other, but they were also late. The four gaps that were exploded in the South City of Guangxi Prefecture had been occupied by the merchant army. In the last one, the Qing army failed to block it in time, and the two sides launched a fierce white -blade battle at the gap.
However, in the other three gaps, the soldiers of the Merchant Army broke into the city of Guangzheng, and fought fiercely with the Qing army in the face of the Qing army, and continued to be in depth and developed on both sides. Coupled with the series of big bangs just now, many people have disappeared. At this time, the commander of the Qing army Zhuo Luo was unconscious. Not only did the Jun Army not also commanded, but also lacked the backbone. After being killed and retreated, after a while, the last gap was also broken by the merchant army. The Qing army could only be forced to retreat to the city.
Under the rise here, the merchant army was accustomed to Changhong, so all the soldiers were fighting more and more bravely, while chasing the Qing army, advancing in the depths of the city of Guangde, and sending two battalions to the army. , Go to support the battle between the east and west cities.
Although the Merchant Army did not use blasting attacks in the east and west cities, the soldiers used the trenches to approach the city walls of Guangxi, and under the cover of the artillery, they suddenly jumped out of the trenches and launched a fierce attack to Guangzhengzhou.
The Big Bang in Nancheng can hear it very clearly in the east and west cities. It is also estimated that the offense in Nancheng should be able to withstand it. The troops that attack the two cities are naturally not far behind. Therefore, everyone is brave. , Set up the cloud ladder, strive to push towards the walls of Guangzhengzhou.
After a while, the news of the breakthroughs in Nancheng also passed on to the East and West City. After the Qing soldiers in the first city heard the news, they suddenly moved their hearts, and the fighting spirit also dropped sharply. Dongcheng's troops first broke through the Qing army's defense and killed the city wall. It launched a close -up operation with the Qing army and gradually developed under the wall, but only after a while, Xicheng also made a breakthrough, and at this time, the troops from Nancheng also arrived. Under the cooperation of supporting troops, the soldiers worked hard to fight, fighting the Qing soldiers, and fleeing. They kept killing the city walls, opened the gate of the city, put down the suspension bridge, and put all the people and horses outside the city into the city.
At noon, the east, west, and south of Guangdezhou were occupied by the merchant army. The three divisions responsible for the main task left only one artillery group to stay outside the city. Kill into the city.
At this time, the Jun Army protected Jue Luo and retreated, and retreated until the place near Beicheng, which was temporarily stood up. Under the emergency rescue of several military doctors, Jue Luo finally woke up and came, but at this time Jue Luo Ji is internal diplomatic, seven labor and eight damage, multiple injuries to the body, and the ribs are at least five or six roots, let alone command battles, but even movement can be moved. Soon, Ma understood the current situation, so he also ordered to evacuate in Guangxi first.
So the Qing soldiers found a big car in the city, let Zhuo Luo lie in the car, set up two battle Mara cars, and gathered some losers to evacuate from the North Gate.
The sporadic battles in the city are all over, and the merchant army has completely occupied Guangzhengzhou.
After Zhuo Luo led the defeat army out of Guangxi, he was pursued by a brigade of the merchant army. Although the Qing army still had 10,000 soldiers at this time, the number of people was more than twice that of the merchant army.
Now all all are defeat soldiers, and the general general will lie in the carriage and can't command the operation. Therefore, he is not an opponent at all.
Finally, I did not be chased by the merchant army.
The merchant troops chased out more than ten miles in one breath, rushed to around 5 pm, and pursued many Qing soldiers. Fortunately, at this time, the rescueman of the Qing army arrived, so that the remaining Qing army was rescued.
When the Merchant Army's pursuit of troops saw the enemy's reinforcements arrived, after the reinforcements of the Guangdezhou. The Qing Army's reinforcements rescued the defeat.
The defeat of the army immediately withdrew to Jianping County overnight.
In response to this, the battles of the merchant army's attack on Guangzhengzhou were all over. After post -war statistics, in this battle, the merchant army wiped out more than 6,000 people in the Qing soldiers and captured more than 3,000 people.
Most of the supplies, of which the artillery of the Qing army was left in the city of Guangxi, and there were more than 2,000 fireproofs, other food, armor weapon vehicle horses, and all of them.
The loot.
When the merchant army used to see the artillery fire of the soldiers, after section, it was usually returned to Hangzhou to return to the furnace to build it.
Because it can use a large corner to shoot, the elevation angle can reach 60 degrees. When the shells are on the ground, the angle is also large.
Then, then
The artillery of the Merchant Army is basically a cannon, which uses direct lights. Generally, the maximum elevation angle is only about thirty degrees. When the defenders who bombard the city walls, the lack of such large elevation artillery from time to time, so this thunderstorm cannon can also be.
As a supplement to the artillery, the artillery regiments have entered the request, leaving all the twenty -six thunderbolt artillery.
After listening to Cheng Jin, he also agreed to the requests of the artillery very happy and left these twenty -six thunder cannons in the first army. Of course, you still need to report to the Hangzhou United Front Department.
It will definitely agree. At the same time, it is also recommended that a group of artillery artillery with large elevation cornea also created in the arsenal, which is used by the supply forces.
After removing Guangzhengzhou, Chengjin immediately sent troops to enter the north, and captured Yixing County on the west bank of Taihu Lake. In this way, with the Changzhou of Changzhou by the Yangtze River, the first northwestern defense line in Zhejiang also moved forward as a whole.
The journey of more than 50 miles has not only forced a step towards the Nanjing area, but also greatly increases the depth of defense in Zhejiang, and it has also consolidated the safety of Zhejiang.
