Chapter 872: The Siege of Jining Prefecture (2)
Soon, a group of musketeers were above the city, lined up for attack, the two towns of the Tianwei army, the two musket battalions, the strength of the army together, close to two thousand people, densely deployed on the city, see that the Manchurian elite cavalry under the city has rushed into the firing range, one after another, shooting in turn!
"Bang ......"
Song Jiaxing said well, at this time, it is the time to sharpen the accuracy of the musketeers, especially in the big war, in the tragic battle, which is completely different from ordinary training, in training, 100 shots, in actual combat, ordinary soldiers, can maintain a 10% hit rate, it is already an astronomical number, for no other reason, the tragic battle is too cruel for the soldier's will and determination to test, not everyone can turn a blind eye to the battle in front of them, concentrate on shooting, a little distraction, that is a miss, It's a thousand miles away.
Real shooting skills are honed in the slaughter of the battlefield, and they will really determine the level of life and death.
Now under the city of Jining, a team of cavalry fiercely launched a charge, it is the best time to exercise the musket battalion, Song Jiaxing mobilized at least 1,500 musketeers, divided into three rows, taking turns to shoot, the gunfire is dense to the extreme, where the guns sound, one by one the Manchurian cavalry turned over and fell off their horses, the fierce dense charge formation speed has been completely released, now even if the Manchurian cavalry wants to slow down, or turn the direction, it is very rare, it is difficult for the ship to turn around......
By the time the cavalry had sprinted to a distance of less than fifty paces below the city, the casualties were already close to eight hundred, and the casualties of three thousand elite cavalry were so serious that even the elite troops could not withstand the psychological pressure brought by the huge casualties, and fear had enveloped the entire cavalry!
Especially when the cavalry saw that their Chinese army was completely disabled, they were even more panicked, turned around and ran, first the cavalry on both wings, followed by the Chinese army, scattered in a hurry, and retreated all the way, but the musketeers of the Tianwei Army didn't care about these, as long as the cavalry was still within their range, they would definitely not stop this ferocious attack!
Azig looked at the corpses of the soldiers thrown down on the battlefield from a distance and the ownerless war horses scurrying around, his heart was like a knife, this loss was too serious, no wonder Duoduo's troops were so strong, Abatai and Aobai besieged Zhending Mansion with strong troops, and they all paid a heavy price, once the Tianwei army was based on the city, relying on the strong city defense and sharp muskets, it was simply no weakness, and there was no chance to hit others!
The desperate Manchurian cavalry launched an attack on Jining City for a day and a night, and it could not shake the defense line of the Tianwei Army at all, after all, the Tianwei Army had 20,000 troops, and the supply of troops was sufficient.
"Lord Wang, it's not okay to attack like this, our troop consumption is too serious!"
In the handsome account, Wu Sangui said to Azig urgently.
Azig said angrily: "King Pingxi, doesn't this king know that such an attack is too expensive?" But you're going to come up with a good idea for me? ”
Wu Sangui said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, if you want to take Jining as soon as possible, then you must mobilize a large-scale artillery to come over and use powerful artillery to break through the city wall for us, otherwise, then we must do at least 30,000 casualties, if Jining's Tianwei army is properly commanded, it is not impossible to even pay the cost of 50,000 or 60,000 casualties!" ”
He Luohui on the side snorted and said, "King Pingxi, this is too much, right?" The cost of 50,000 or 60,000 casualties? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? If Zhu Jie or Xu Yifan came to defend the city in person, it would be about the same, a little-known Song Jiaxing? ”
Wu Sangui replied lightly: "Lord He, if this official is guarding Jining City, if you come to attack, I will make you pay the price of more than fifty or sixty thousand people, do you think it is so easy to attack the fortified city just by relying on cavalry?" Without enough artillery, if you want to take Jining City easily, it is impossible, not to mention us, even if the regent himself is in charge, it is impossible! ”
"Alright, don't say any more!"
Azig's face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "He Luo will immediately send an order to mobilize artillery from Dongchang Mansion again, if you feel that the artillery is not enough, then ask Prince Yu to send artillery support, from Dongchang Mansion to Jining, but three hundred miles away, go all out, but in a few days, you can send it, sharpen the knife and cut wood, Jining City, we must use the minimum price, take it in the fastest time!" ”
"Please ask Prince Yu for support?"
He Luo will be a little stupid, now there are no less than twenty artillery pieces placed in Dongchang Mansion alone, and there are fifteen more here, thirty or forty artillery pieces are not enough? When did Prince Ying become so cautious in his use of troops?
"Alright, let's give the order immediately!"
Azig shouted, "Do you think this little-known Song Jiaxing is easy to deal with? Wrong! You only know that Xu Yifan is strategizing, and you only know that Qin Mufeng is brave and good at fighting, but you don't know that this Song Jiaxing in front of you is no worse than these two people in Zhu Jie's heart! ”
Belch......
Not only He Luohui, but even Wu Sangui was a little shocked, who are Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng? That is the real Ming iron-blooded general who has been killed on the battlefield, one person blocked Prince Yu's more than 100,000 male soldiers north of the Yellow River with inferior troops, and the other is with only one elite cavalry to overturn the entire Zhili, which can be said to be already famous in the world; Prince Ying actually put this Song Jiaxing in a position on a par with these two people!
"Lord Wang, this, this Song Jiaxing is really that powerful?"
Wu Sangui was shocked.
Azig nodded, and said in a dark voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you, this Song Jiaxing is the boss of Zhu Jie's intelligence system in Manchuria at the beginning, through his hands, our Manchurian intelligence can flow from outside the customs to Zhu Jie's hands, if it weren't for the coercion and temptation of the regent to buy Chen Yan, it would be impossible for us to enter the customs now!" ”
"This can only show that he is an excellent spy, commanding operations and engaging in intelligence are two different things, Lord Wang!"
Ho Lo would argue.
Wiped it!
Azig was a little angry, and shouted: "If you take out this king to compare with Song Jiaxing, fuck, in Ningyang, we just fought a battle, the strength of the two sides is similar, he has musketeers to help, but the infantry is obviously not the opponent of our cavalry, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but as soon as it is fought, this king is restrained by him, and he does not take advantage of it at all, do you know why I drove Mandahai to Caozhou?" It's because when that kid was in front of Song Jiaxing, he was like a fool and let people play monkeys! ”
