Chapter 601: The Combat Power of the Coalition Forces
After the coalition forces occupied the city wall of Yongping's west gate, the Tartar reserves in the city arrived and tried to recapture the city wall. However, there are so many masters of the coalition army, how can it be possible to recapture the city wall with those 2,000 reserves? These masters are guarding the entrance of the wall on the upper wall, and they are completely at the mercy of a man, and no matter how much the Tartars rush, they don't even think about going up the wall. In addition, after the coalition army occupied the city wall, the archers and crossbowmen were more likely to exert their might, and the two Franc machines at the head of the city were also returned to the coalition army, and the cannons were turned to bombard the Tartar soldiers who came to help.
After paying the price of another five or six hundred men, the Tartar soldiers were sure that the south gate could not be recaptured!
The Tartar lord of Yongping City is Derg, the tenth son of Nurhachi, a veteran who has been awarded the title of Dorobel for his exploits four years ago.
Just now, Derge heard a report from his subordinates, explaining that the army attacked the West Gate and annihilated the West Gate defenders at the cost of more than 200 casualties, and now the entire section of the West Gate city wall has fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
He didn't believe it was true at first, but if it was said that the Dajin warriors captured the Ming army at the cost of more than 200 casualties, he would completely believe it.
Is the so-called martial arts alliance composed of martial arts people in the Ming Kingdom really so strong?
He didn't believe it!
But when one of the generals who witnessed the whole process told him what kind of weapons the Ming army used, how to attack the city, and so on, he had to believe it.
Although he was extremely shocked in his heart, he still stabilized his mind and ordered with a calm and calm attitude that all the troops retreated to the Yongping Mansion in the city and prepared for street fighting!
Why are the other walls also unguarded?
Because the Derge class quickly concluded that the reason why the Ming army's new tactics were so powerful was that the city walls were too densely populated and the passages were too small, and once they encountered the kind of water and thunderbolts that could rot people's bodies, they would inevitably suffer huge losses.
So it's better to take it down and fight in the streets! A dozen street fights, everyone is intertwined, see how they still use these kitsch tricks!
However, the Derge class was completely wrong, because Qin Shuhuai was not prepared to attack the city with Green Gongshui and Thunderbolt all the time. Yongping City is only 8,000 Tartars, and the coalition army will consume one-eighth of the Green Gongshui when attacking only one city wall, so won't it use up half of the Green Gongshui after attacking the four city walls? Under the condition that Yongping could have been captured in the first place, Qin Shuhuai could have made such a big "blood capital"? You must know that he will have to fight at least 80,000 or 90,000 Tartars in the future!
But how can Derge know so much, he only knows that Simon has been lost, and the enemy army has used "terrifying" new weapons and new tactics, and if it continues like this, his soldiers will die so worthless.
In any case, the Tartar soldiers at the head of the city, after receiving the order, began to descend the wall in an orderly manner through the steps.
However, it is easy to go up the city wall, but it is not so convenient to go down the city wall!
As soon as the allied soldiers who had been feinting in the east, south, and north directions feinted to attack were about to withdraw, they immediately began to turn to an attack with real swords and guns! Most of them already had light skills, and the Tartar soldiers at the head of the city were not doing their best to defend now, and the speed at which they were on the wall was simply dazzling.
After landing on the wall, they began to hunt down the Tartars without saying a word. Some of the Tartar soldiers chose to resist first, while others still chose to be ordered to retreat first, so that everyone's actions were not uniform, and the forces were scattered, and the result was naturally to be divided and annihilated by the coalition forces. And by the time the Tartar leaders saw that something was wrong and began to organize their soldiers to resist in an organized manner, the city was already full of allied fighters.
In the field, perhaps the good players of the coalition army may not be the opponent of the Tartar soldiers, but on the city wall, the good hands of the coalition army are not afraid of the Tartars at all, strictly speaking, their combat effectiveness on the city wall is bound to be higher than that of the Tartars!
On the eastern, southern, and northern walls, the Allied soldiers poured up through the ladders, and soon approached the Tartars at the head of the city in number. To add insult to injury, the coalition soldiers who attacked the western city wall, under the leadership of the masters, also directly killed the northern and southern city walls - because these two city walls and the western city wall were originally connected!
Under the attack from many sides, the Tartars who were still stranded on the city wall were killed and lost their armor and wailed.
And the Tartars, who had already run down the city wall, how could they dare to return to save them? Under the command of Niu Lu and the generals, they quickly ran to the government office to prepare for the last resistance.
The coalition forces captured four walls and opened four gates, and then the army swarmed in.
Yongping's 8,000 Tartar defenders, only about 3,000 people were left at this time, they gathered near the palace, knowing that there would be no reinforcements, but they still chose to resist stubbornly!
Qin Shuhuai ordered that Zhang Xiao led more than 10,000 people in the outer city of the city, and not a single Tartar was allowed to leave the city, while the rest of the people immediately rushed to the government to encircle and suppress the last 3,000 Tartars!
Nearly 30,000 troops surrounded the Yongping Mansion from all sides like wolves, and then advanced step by step. The Tartars put up a desperate resistance, relying on the high walls of the palace and the numerous buildings nearby.
According to Derge's plan, he was to drag out the battle until dark, so that he could break through. You must know that in the daytime, with his little man, unless he inserts wings, it is absolutely impossible to run away from under the noses of tens of thousands of Ming troops!
However, he thought too much.
The 30,000 coalition troops against the 3,000 Tartars are still in a semi-field state, if they can't quickly clear the other side, then so many battles of the coalition army are in vain!
If it is said that when the coalition army was formed just a few months ago, the combat effectiveness of the coalition army was one level lower than that of the Tartars, then after so many major battles were fought, especially after the three sides and the Demon Sect, in Qian'an and the 30,000 Tartar elite soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the coalition army has made a qualitative leap.
What kind of way is the best way to temper the army? There is no doubt that the answer is actual combat! If you fight too much in actual combat, even a coward will gradually turn into a strong soldier, and that kind of intuition on how to cooperate on the battlefield and how to advance and retreat together can only be learned on the battlefield on the front line of life and death!
110,000 coalition soldiers, after the brutal baptism of war, the waves washed the sand, and now only these 40,000 horses remain!
This is a real elite soldier, whether it is mentally, physically or in terms of war consciousness, they are well-deserved elite soldiers!
If you look at this army according to your previous understanding of the Ming army, it would be a big mistake!
The combat effectiveness of this army is definitely above that of the Guanning Army, and as long as it is in a non-field or semi-field (such as street fighting) state, it is definitely higher than the Tartar soldiers!
They all came from a hellish battlefield! Speaking of which, many of the Tartar soldiers did not fight as many battles as they did! Except for the fact that they were still slightly deficient in field battles with the Tartar veterans, they were not afraid of any opponent under other conditions!
The 3,000 Tartars were quickly wiped out! The whole battle lasted no more than an hour!
