Anti-Qing and Fuming: Beginning with Summoning the Fire Phoenix

Chapter 72 Capture the First City Gate

The night is deep.

Shen Xuan was lying in a big tent with only one person.

Spiritually lit a cigarette.

Although the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty are organized according to battalions and platoons.

But according to the establishment of later generations, it is already the strength of a Type A division.

And the number of soldiers has exceeded half.

But for the first major siege battle.

There was still a trace of excitement in Shen Xuan's heart.

Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Except Beijing, the imperial capital.The city in Jiangning Mansion is the most grand and strong.

If the city is captured, it will be of great significance both strategically and tactically.

Shen Xuan didn't know how deep the background of Jiangning Mansion was.

But he knew that he had to take down this former imperial capital.

At this time.

Yuan Lang's excited voice came from the walkie-talkie:

"Report Your Highness, our team smashed the gate of the upper gate with three mortar shells. Do you want to seize it?"

Shen Xuan didn't think about it, and subconsciously asked:

"How many enemy troops are guarding the upper gate? Has the gate been sealed? Have reinforcements arrived?"

"According to my observation, the enemy's number is at most [-]. No reinforcements have been found on the city wall, and the city gate is being sealed. King Ming, are you going to seize the city wall?"

Shen Xuan's mind was running fast.

Now is the time to truly test a qualified general.

The fighter jets are fleeting.

Can't afford to think about it.

"Yes! Use mortars to suppress the top of the city. Don't cherish weapons and ammunition. Take down the upper door for me!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Lang put down and ended the call.

Then ordered:
"Aim the mortar at the city wall. Shoot repeatedly. Snipers, assaulters, and 47 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion with AK[-] rifles. The firepower suppresses the enemy army on the horse's side of the city wall. When the rest of them attacked the city gate, they used grenades Clean the gate and the soldiers in the urn."

"Yes!"

"Success or failure is here!"

The Fang team members took the army green side three rounds.

The rest of the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion got on their horses!
immediately.

Yuan Lang pressed the charge horn on the loudspeaker!
beep beep beep beep...

"Come on!"

Originally, the soldiers and horses who entered the Shenji Battalion were strictly selected.

After a few days of practice, the AK47 that was changed at this time has become extremely proficient in marksmanship.

With the sound of the charge sounded.

A team of hundreds of people is like a sharp weapon, stabbing at the enemy's chest.

Boom, boom, boom!
da da da da da...

The shells flew out.

Rifle flames sprayed.

The grenade explosion sounded!
Qing Bing reacted.

At the same time, heavy artillery, Francophones, and tiger squat guns were also ignited!

Boom, boom, boom explosion sounded.

in the dark.

A clash of old and new weapons.

The bloody battle between the offensive and defensive sides!

King and loser.

The winner lives, the loser dies!

The galloping war horse neighed and fell, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Soldiers of the Shenji Battalion became souls of the dead, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Qing soldiers on the city wall.

The skull was blown away.The bullet went through the eye, entered the back of the head and exited.

Boom!
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion fell!

He was trampled into flesh by war horses.

The armored body was shot by the tiger squatting cannon, and the windows were densely packed.

The soldiers died and fell, but the horses were still running desperately.

Running wildly dragging the dead body.

boom!
A cannonball weighing more than ten kilograms was ejected.

A group of warriors and war horses lost half of their bodies in an instant.

So die!

collapse!
A bed crossbow like a spear, with trembling strings.

across the air!

pierced the soldier's chest.

Then fell heavily to the ground.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Armed Forces did not scream or roar.

some.

It's just the sore spots where bullets or shells penetrate the body and the disappearance that brings the life and death of the enemy.

100 m.

80 m.

50 m.

Ten meters!

Yuan Lang picked up the loudspeaker: "Cover, throw a grenade!"

clang, clang, clang!
Shrapnel hit the fuze one by one.

However, fly to the city wall, inside the city gate!

Boom boom boom!

Finally, the screams on the city wall came out one after another!

Shake the night sky!

"Everyone, rush with me!"

Charge, sound again!

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The flames of the rifles of the Ming Armed Forces never ceased!
Until all the enemies are shot!

No prisoners!

Because the casualties of the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty Armed Forces have exceeded 50.00%!

Yuan Lang ordered that all local soldiers be executed!
Shen Xuan has been deducing the battle situation.

Type 20 82mm light mortar.Less than three kilometers away.

The permanent cannon, the red cannon, the tiger crouching cannon bed crossbow, etc.

Even if it is a night battle, at close range, the three-eyed blunderbuss of the tiger crouching cannon, and the bird blunderbuss bow and arrow are extremely lethal.

After several simulations and calculations in my mind, the results are not optimistic!

Two thousand against five hundred.

Even if they win, it's a miserable victory!

It didn't take long.

Yuan Lang's voice came: "The Fangfang team is calling for King Ming, and the Fangfang team is calling for King Ming!"

"Speaking!"

"Our army has captured the upper gate. But..."

"Has more than half of the casualties already been lost?" Shen Xuan opened his mouth.

"Yes! Your Highness!" Yuan Lang's voice revealed self-blame.

"It doesn't have to be like this. Since ancient times, where there is war, there has been death. Siege warfare is the most difficult battle. I think Genghis Khan, who was called the pride of heaven, did not capture any city by force. How big is Diaoyu City? Broken halberd into the sand?"

"But!"

"No but. Remember, death in battle is like returning home! This is the destiny of a soldier."

Shen Xuan sighed:

"If one day, I Shen Xuan died in battle. If you are still alive, you don't have to cry for me. That is my destination!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"That's how the Iron-Blooded Soldiers should be."

Shen Xuan: "You stick to the upper gate. I'll send someone to send supplies. How many people have been captured?"

"Report! Your Highness, there are no prisoners!"

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan already knew from this sentence that Yuan Lang beheaded all the captives!

This good word also means that in the future, in this case, no prisoners will be kept.

Shen Xuan exchanged for ammunition according to the ratio.

Send someone to Shangdingmen.

Afterwards, another thousand soldiers from the Ming Armed Forces were added to support them.

For tomorrow's general attack, it will play a role of pulling, even the main force.

On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly.

A sudden night battle.

The progress of the original plan was advanced, which opened up a good situation.

Hundreds of casualties, in exchange for the effect is better than expected!

Of course, only veterans can do this. If they were local soldiers, they would have collapsed long ago!
On the tower of Jiagang Gate in the outer city of Jiangning Mansion, the torches are brightly lit.

Yonggu General Cannon, Hongyi Cannon, Franji Cannon, Tiger Crouching Cannon, and Carriage Crossbow.

Neatly placed on the crenel.

The crossbow is stringed, the muzzle is plugged with ammunition, and the matchlock is inserted.

Rolling logs, lapping stones, kerosene and other objects were also placed neatly.

Gao Jin stood on the tower.

Looking at the pitch black night.

He looked solemn.

The explorer who was released came back alive.

But did not get any useful information.Even the location where the Ming rebels are stationed is not clear.

How is this fight going?
Having lived for 61 years, he can be said to be able to handle the court with ease.

But it was the first time he felt such a sense of powerlessness when fighting against someone like Shen Xuan!

It's not that he's afraid.

Instead, they faced such an untraceable enemy like an antelope hanging horns.

There is simply no way to start.

Gao Jin couldn't help but sighed:
"Forget it, let's live and die with Jiangning Mansion!"

Originally, he didn't need to go outside the city walls.

But the military power was seized, and the words of the Holy Majesty were still in my ears.Can only rely on this to fight.

After receiving the letter of challenge, he organized the training of the rural warriors and the Eight Banners Manchus, Lijia Baochang.

One after another, they took their young and strong slaves, and the young and strong from the village went to the city wall together.

Now, this outer city is his life.

Once he can't hold on and the city wall is broken, he cannot be captured.

Only with death allegiance to the Qing Dynasty!
Just thought of this.

The herald rode on a fast horse and shouted: "Your Excellency, urgent report!"

"Report! Your Excellency Governor urgently report!"

Listen to the shouts that shatter the night sky.

Gao Jin had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The herald came to the tower.

He dismounted and knelt on the ground: "Report to the Governor, the upper gate was broken. All the soldiers were killed! No one survived."

really.

When the herald knelt on the ground to report, Gao Jin's face turned pale.

After a long time, I was relieved:

"This thief, Shen Xuan, is so cruel. He didn't even leave anyone alive. This is to force the millions of people in my Jiangning mansion to fight to the death!"
