Chapter 488: Study
When they saw that the Huaxia Army sent two covered shield carts to the city wall to collect the corpses of the dead on the Huaxia Army's side, the Houjin Army at the head of the city did not pay too much attention.
They only experimentally made a few attacks, and after seeing that the effect was not obvious and could not destroy the two shield carts parked not far from the city wall, they decisively gave up the counterattack on this side.
However, after the Huaxia army finished collecting the corpses of its own martyrs, began to collect the corpses of the Houjin army again, and constantly cut off the heads on the corpses of the Tartars and abandoned the corpses aside, the Houjin army on the city wall suddenly exploded.
At this time, the Houjin Tartar was also ready to collect the corpses of the Huaxia army near the city gate cave.
They attacked from both sides of the inner openings of the city gates, and they did not need the cover of shield chariots like the Huaxia army, and the city wall was their best cover.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a long wooden pole with a rope noose stretched out from inside the city gate, ready to give a tooth for a tooth to the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who had been too sharp and were killed by the ambush in the city.
It's a pity that because the Huaxia Army gave priority to pulling its own soldiers, the people of the Houjin Army pulled it several times in a row, and most of them were the corpses of their Houjin soldiers, and they didn't see a few corpses of the Huaxia Army.
Fortunately, the Han army of the Houjin Army, which was ordered to go out of the city to raid before, was specially selected, and almost everyone wore armor, and after the Houjin army inside pulled the corpses in one by one, they would peel off the armor on the corpses and put them on their bodies.
Therefore, the corpse of the Houjin Army that was pulled in is not a waste,
Time passed in a hurry, and the two armies fought each other for a whole morning, and the artillery pieces on the head of Fuzhou City had already been blown up by two great generals.
Later, the non-standard operation methods of the Jin Tartars and the death behavior of piling gunpowder next to the artillery, these two bombed guns killed more soldiers of the Later Jin Army, and even more soldiers of the Later Jin Army were killed by shells.
The consequence of the explosion of the artillery was that by this time, no one dared to approach the artillery to carry out firing related actions.
Before this battle, the 1st Mixed Brigade learned from the intelligence department under the National Security Committee that the general artillery erected at the head of Fuzhou City was basically captured by the Houjin Army and the Ming Army during the battle between the Houjin Army and the Ming Army in the two years last year and the year before that.
Because the intelligence officers and the fighters of the reconnaissance unit could not get too close to the artillery, they could not see the inscriptions, so it was not known when they were cast.
It's just that judging from the current situation of two consecutive artillery guns blowing up at the head of the city, the maintenance of artillery in the Jin army is quite inadequate.
For this, Zachdan and others can also understand, they have long read the relevant reports, saying that the Houjin army is extremely contemptuous of firearms, and the only thing that can be regarded as paying attention to it is only the red-coated cannon.
As for the rest, in Hou Jin's view, it is completely dispensable, just like Nurhachi ordered that people who could not shoot bows must carry firearms, and it was not for the firecrackers to kill the enemy.
Nurhachi's meaning is to let these weak and powerless bows, at best, be responsible for attracting opposing fire, or deterring the enemy.
As for the old cannons such as the big general cannon and the small general cannon on the head of the city, the Houjin army is also completely used to fill the number.
Never drilled, the quality of gunpowder was extremely poor, and the treatment of the gunners could not be compared with the gunners of the red-coated cannons.
However, under the manipulation of the gunners of the Houjin Army, the general cannon could not provide much lethality for the Houjin Army, but it was still very powerful when used to block narrow strips such as city gates and streets.
At the very least, if you fire shotguns from a general's cannon at close range and hit a dense queue, the enemy on the opposite side will have no way to defend at all.
Fu Yan held the binoculars and observed the banner in front of him for a while, and said, "Commander-in-chief, look at the banner, the main force of defense above the city is Wuzhen Chaoha's clothed soldiers, and it is Kong Youde's Tianyou Army who just rushed out of the hole in the city gate." ”
Zachdan nodded, the attack launched today is first to test the will of the soldiers of the Jin Army after defending the city.
And judging from the current situation, Houjin Tatar's determination to defend the city is still very firm.
The most important thing is that the traitor troops sent by the Houjin Tatars to fight are basically the Han army, and no matter how many of these people and horses are lost, the Tartar officers of the Houjin Eight Banners will not be heartbroken.
Because, as long as you go out to rob a circle, you can grab a large number of Han people, and the corresponding Han army troops want to replenish the soldiers very quickly.
If his own strategic situation has an advantage, Zachdan can also make a report, transfer a large number of craftsmen and experts from the country, and manufacture a large number of siege equipment.
For example, the large ladder cart used to forcibly enter the city, the high platform cart and earthen fortress used to suppress the defending troops at the head of the city, and the pole truck used to deal with the arrow tower and heavy armored soldiers on the head of the city, and so on······
However, it is a pity that the Huaxia Army did not grasp the strategic advantage, and they attacked and retreated under the city of Fuzhou, a total of less than 7 days.
Therefore, this time, Zachdan really didn't have the time to slowly build all kinds of large-scale siege equipment.
According to the analysis of the General Staff, everyone agreed that Fuzhou City should be the bottom line of Houjin, and neither Yue Tuo nor Duoduo dared to easily abandon this front-line city.
We don't have an advantage in terms of total strength, so if we can't defeat it, we don't need to attack it.
Our tactical purpose is to force the Tartars in the hinterland of Houjin to mobilize the men and horses in the central Liaoning region.
The attack and harassment operation of the reconnaissance battalion to the north of Fuzhou City must also show the characteristics of ferocity, and the operation of burning the enemy's supplies and grain fields must be effective. ”
Fu Yan opened the notebook and looked at it, and then replied, "The joint combat force composed of the reconnaissance battalion and the action team of the Intelligence Department originally planned to attack the area north of Fuzhou City for two days.
They were divided into 15 combat teams, and the predetermined destruction area reached as far as 30 kilometers outside the city of Gaizhou.
If they encounter reinforcements from the Eight Banners stationed in Gaizhou City, they will end the operation early and retreat here. ”
Zachdan nodded, and then asked casually, "Is there any new news about the Dongjiang Town soldiers and horses that we have subdued this time that have cooperated with our army?" ”
