"Huang Taiji did not hesitate to use the wild people of the mountains, nor did he use his Manchu Eight Banners, he held this powerful force tightly, what was his purpose?"
Xu Jie also let go of what he had and didn't, and began to frown and think.
"Mobility, mobility, since it is a mobile team, it should really be mobile, but this is good, just stay in Shengjing and do not move, does he want to use this strong group to defend Shengjing When all the barriers are cleared, what is the use of Shengjing like you This is very unreasonable.
Things don't make sense, it's a demon, and now Huang Taiji's arrangement is absolutely unreasonable, so where is his demonic mind?"
Lu Hanqiang stared at the map, thought about it carefully, and couldn't guess Huang Taiji's thoughts, and finally threw the pen in his hand on the map, feeling extremely depressed: "War is really a screwed thing, why don't I have the one, the means to command both myself and the enemy?
Then he looked up and said to Xu Jie: "Since we can't understand why Huang Taiji is holding heavy troops and not moving, then I simply don't think about it, I now decide that the attack on Liaozhong by Brother Da Zhuang that was originally scheduled to be five days later will start now, I want to attack with all my strength on all fronts, and I want to force Huang Taiji to show his hole cards." ” Xu Jie nodded approvingly: "Since this is the case, then I will immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to Chen Liang, so that he can turn the feint attack on Niuzhuang into the main attack, and fight the three ways together to open the back move of Huang Taiji." ” After Lu Hanqiang thought about it again, he had an inexplicable worry: "My left eye is always jumping, I suspect that something big is going to happen, you immediately order the spies in Shengjing City, 12 hours a day, keep an eye on the Manchu Eight Banners, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."
I still didn't feel at ease with this arrangement, so I instructed Xu Jie again: "You immediately send an order to the little fat man, let his 20,000 cavalry stay on day and night, and if he doesn't get my accurate orders, he will never be allowed to fight without authorization."
"This is his last mobile team, Lu Hanqiang is sometimes really distressed about himself, behind him is the old empire of the Ming Dynasty, raising millions of troops, however, in the face of the most powerful enemy Manchu Qing, he is the only one who fights alone, how is this not chilling Xu Jie agreed, immediately sat down behind the table, and began to draft various orders.
When all the orders were issued one by one, Lu Hanqiang lifted his helmet and buckled it on his head, and then said to Xu Jie: "You are now sitting in the Zhongjun tent and dealing with the official documents, I will go to the front line now, I want to tell Zhao Sihai that there is no need to make any more feints, we have to launch a decisive battle, we must take Xinmin City as soon as possible, let Huang Taiji feel pain, and then let him panic, we will have a hole to exploit." ” Xu Jie knew Lu Hanqiang's temperament, and he couldn't stop him, so he nodded: "Don't worry, Master Inspector, everything here has me, you can rest assured to command the battle." ” Lu Hanqiang went directly out of the camp and came to the front line of the siege.
Historically, siege warfare was the most brutal, if it was not forced to do so in the end, no army was willing to engage in siege warfare, and the defense of the city was not very easy, and the price often paid was serious casualties among soldiers and civilians.
In history, there are only a few ways to attack cities.
The first is the long siege of the city, which is quite cruel, often when the city is held, the defending side, whether the defenders or the people, are almost starving to death, such cruel examples abound throughout the five thousand years.
The second method is to use some means, such as digging cities, digging tunnels, crashing cars, and so on, but such offensive and defensive battles require considerable will and materials on both sides, and they are also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gains outweigh the losses.
There is also the most common method, the ant goes to kick the city, which is the last thing all the generals want to do and do not want to see, he is to consume each other with his life, and finally consume until one side is completely defeated.
Originally, Lu Hanqiang's design was that the three-way army was divided into three routes, which was used to mobilize the main force of Huang Taiji to rush back and forth to rescue, and then he used the skillful tactics of encircling points to send reinforcements, destroying Huang Taiji's living forces one by one, and then oppressing the defenders of various cities to surrender to himself.
But judging from the current situation, his wishful thinking has failed, and Huang Taiji is not worthy of himself at all, so this war of annihilation has become a war to uproot the fortresses along the way, and it is inevitable to start the battle for one city after another.
However, since Lu Hanqiang improved the explosives, the urban offensive and defensive warfare in this world has completely changed its nature and form, and the original tall and impassable city walls will become a pile of powder in the face of a large number of high-quality explosives, and they will no longer play his original protective role.
When Lu Hanqiang came to the front of the position, he saw that his subordinates were slowly attacking Xinmin City, the way of this attack was that one or two thousand musketeers were a team, outside the limit range of the enemy's bow and arrows, and suppressed the enemy defending the city with a row of guns, as long as the city dared to take the lead, it would immediately attract a rain of bullets, and the enemy archers on the city wall, taking advantage of the height, shot a rain of arrows to the musketeers under the city almost no damage, occasionally that lucky, Shot his feather arrows into the team of Fuliao musketeers, these musketeers only need to lower their heads slightly, and the wide brim of the high-quality steel helmet can protect the entire head and face, and the steel plate armor in front and back of the body is even more invulnerable, so after two days of offensive and defensive battles, Lu Hanqiang's musket team only consumed countless ammunition, casualties, and there are, that is, a soldier was careless, an arrow was shot on the arm, and after a simple bandage, he was still standing in his team.
When Zhao Sihai saw Lu Hanqiang coming, he saluted Lu Hanqiang casually with a bored face, and then perfunctorily reported the situation of the siege, at this time Lu Hanqiang solemnly ordered: "Now I order, the whole army will change from a feint attack to the main attack on Xinmin City, divide the musketeers into three parts, 20,000 in the north and south to carry out a blasting attack, leave 10,000 as a reserve, and tell everyone, prepare bayonets for street fighting." ” After receiving such an order, Zhao Sihai's originally lazy expression was swept away, and he immediately cheered, and the generals and colonels behind him also let out a burst of cheers, and then immediately began to arrange troops, preparing to blow up the tall city walls of Xinmin City under Lu Hanqiang's order, take Xinmin City in one fell swoop, and annihilate the two banners of Han Zhenglan and Lan in the city. t1706231537:
