Valley Emperor

The officials of the Tang Dynasty, especially some middle and low-level officials, were not as loyal to the Tang Dynasty as Sun Yawei imagined.

So that night, someone ran out and surrendered to Ming, and after revealing a lot of information to the Ming army, they successfully became the ghost under the sword of the Ming army.

It is not a pity for them to die. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Ming army, they cannot have a good impression of the traitors, but after they escaped from the city, they revealed a lot of information to the Ming army.

The most important thing is that there were no regular troops guarding the city at this time, and there were only three or four hundred robbery camps and a large number of young men.

"Capturing the thieves camp? Isn't it the yamen in the Puppet Tang Bandit Army!" After hearing that there was no regular army of the Puppet Tang Bandit Army in the city, the confidence of the Ming army generals outside the city increased instantly.

These original Ming army from the west all the way, also heard the information of many officials' fake Tang thief army on the road. Most of these information came from Song Zhiwen's mouth, and some rumors, these rumors all highlighted one The thing is that the firearms of the pseudo-Tang thieves are sharp.

Coupled with the fiasco of Song Zhiwen, Xingquan Mansion and Liping Mansion fell one after another, which led to the fact that not many Ming troops would despise the firearms of the pseudo-Tang bandit army.

But what they value is only the firearms of the pseudo-Tang bandit army. At the same time, there are many people who hold the same point of view, that is, they think that the pseudo-Tang bandit army is just relying on the benefits of mere firearms, and other aspects should not be very important. It is powerful, and it is inconvenient to use firearms. It only takes a few shots to face the enemy. When fighting, as long as one's own side can rush up and fight, it will definitely be able to destroy the thief army.

At the beginning, Song Zhiwen must have been foolishly standing on the spot and competing with the pseudo-Tang bandit army for medium and long-range firepower, which would lead to a fiasco.

They didn't know that in fact, when Song Zhiwen led his troops to fight against the pseudo-Tang bandit army, they suffered several disastrous defeats, of course, because of the sharp weapons of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, but there was a very important point that they The spears and bayonets of the pseudo-Tang thieves could not stop the charge.

Basically, in large-scale battles, although the firearms of the new army of the Tang Dynasty performed well, it was often hand-to-hand charging that established the battle situation.

For example, in the Battle of Tonggu Weicheng not long ago, the cavalry's wall-style charge and the 5th Infantry Battalion under the 2nd Infantry Regiment launched a hand-to-hand counterattack against Qiu Yu's troops.

A hand-to-hand charge jointly launched by the Chinese Commando and the 1st Infantry Regiment.

This series of brutal, hand-to-hand charges launched in dense formations was actually the most crucial factor in establishing the victory several times.

Although muskets and artillery are also very useful, in theory, they are still not the decisive factor!

But why does the Ming army have the impression that the fake Tang thieves' weapons are sharp and **** in hand-to-hand combat? This is because the performance of the firearms of the Datang New Army is too eye-catching.

As for the guns, this battle is quite powerful, and it is easy to give people the illusion that all the victories of the new army of the Tang Dynasty were fought by the musketeers and artillerymen, and the other arms were soy sauce.

But in fact, this kind of error, and it is still a big mistake!

The main force of hand-to-hand combat in the Datang New Army, but the spearmen, especially the heavily armored spearmen, are the core main force in the regular army of the Datang New Army.

For example, the close-range salvo fire of the musketeers in the battle is actually to create favorable conditions for the charge of the heavy armored spearmen!

It can be known from many battle examples that the most powerful thing in the new army of the Tang Dynasty is not musket shooting, artillery shooting, etc., but spears and bayonet charges!

As we all know, the new army of the Tang Dynasty has always liked to engage in combat in the wild, and was not willing to play defensive operations or tough battles, because only this kind of regular decisive battle in the wild can maximize the power of the new army of the Tang Dynasty's bayonet and spear intensive charge. .

At the same time, it can also exert the power of muskets and artillery.

But this kind of thing is often difficult for outsiders to understand clearly. Now, regardless of whether the Ming army has been defeated or has not had contact with the pseudo-Tang bandit army, it is only one-sided that the pseudo-Tang bandit's weapons are sharp, but the firearms are sharp. That's it!

And most of the firearms units of the Pseudo Tang Bandit Army are concentrated in what they call a few infantry regiments!

The Ming army also has a little understanding of the name of the pseudo-Tang thief army. It is known that the pseudo-Tang thief army has several units called 'infantry regiments', and these units have a large number of firearms units.

But the robbery camp is just an auxiliary military force similar to the yamen and county soldiers. It is absolutely impossible to have any firearms, even if there is an estimate, there are not many.

After knowing that the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the city was just a group of yamen, county warriors, and civilians, the Ming army outside the city was also unwilling to wait any longer.

Early the next morning, hundreds of people were dispatched to the bottom of the city, trying to launch an attack to test the truth of the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the city.

Well, the most important thing is to see if there are any firearms units from the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army in the city. If so, how many?

If there are many firearm troops of the Puppet Tang Bandit Army in the city, they will turn around and leave without saying a word. The Puppet Tang Bandit Army's firearms are sharp, and their current strength is only a thousand people. If they fight, they will easily suffer losses. It's not easy to do.

In this case, they would rather wait one or two more days, and wait until the follow-up troops come up before launching a counterattack against Liping City. After all, Liping City is here, and they can't run if they want to.

But if there are not a large number of firearms troops of the pseudo-Tang thief army in the city, then they have to plan a formal siege of the city.

The next situation surprised the Ming army generals on the opposite side. The hundreds of people they dispatched rushed all the way to the city wall, and some people even started to climb up the city, but the pseudo-Tang bandit army in the city still did not Shoot the gun.

Although it was said that this tentative attack ended in failure and more than 20 people were injured, it could not hide the joy on the faces of the generals of the Ming army.

This is all credit, a great credit!

The pseudo-Tang bandit army in the city is only a few hundred old and weak, and its combat strength is weak. Just now, I just sent a few hundred people to test the attack, and it was almost defeated. Easily take Liping House!

This is equivalent to the credit for picking up in vain, and it is also an incomparable credit!

The pseudo-Tang thieves have successively captured Xingquan and Liping, and so far, no one has been able to achieve any major victory, let alone the capture of Liping and Xingquan.

That is to say, I heard that the friendly army in the north won the Bronze Drum Acropolis some time ago!

But how can the Bronze Drum Acropolis be compared with Liping City?

Isn't that good at a level? How can a small and broken earth city be compared with the place where the government is governed?

The friendly army in the north just won a bronze drum acropolis, but if you win the Liping Palace City, you will be able to show your face in front of the governor, and it will not be a dream to get promoted and rich!

At this time, these Ming army forwards under the city of Liping, did not know that the Ming army in the north had been defeated. After all, it was only three days after the battle of Tongguweicheng.

Moreover, after the defeat of the Ming army in the north, it was too late to even escape. There was time and mood to report to the friendly army in the west that they had fought a big defeat.

As for the gossip, there is no such thing, because the two places are dozens of miles apart, and the key point is that at that time, the vicinity of the Bronze Drum Fortress was the decisive battlefield of the two armies, and the idle people did not dare to approach, nor could they approach.

At that time, there were actually no ordinary people near Tonggu Acropolis, or even in Tonggu Acropolis.

Therefore, if you want to know the result of the battle at Tonggu Acropolis from the gossip, you will have to wait for several days.

Therefore, the defeat of the Ming Army on the North Road did not affect the confidence of the Ming Army on the West Road at all, because they did not know that the Ming Army on the North Road was defeated.

In the morning of the same day, the Ming army outside the city hurriedly ate lunch ahead of time, and after preparing to feed the soldiers, they started to launch the general attack on Lipingfu City, and made a huge contribution.

The movements of the Ming army outside the city were naturally also seen by the officials and soldiers guarding the city such as Sun Yawei in the city.

Standing on the city wall where the blood was still wet~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Sun Yawei's face was not very good-looking, even if he knew that he could not hold the Liping City for too long, but he did not expect that it was only the first day, that he would face the The danger of breaking the city.

The battle in the morning was just a tentative attack for the Ming army outside the city, but for the new army of the Tang Dynasty, it was an extremely uncomfortable defensive battle.

They did their best to drive these Ming troops out of the city!

However, although the Ming army retreated, they left fifty or sixty casualties to the new army of the Tang Dynasty!

Despite the small number of casualties, the casualties were all soldiers of the robbery camp. For the robbery camp, it was already traumatic.

After all, there were only less than 400 people in the robbery camp!

"Master Sun, what should we do now?"

"Now that the general attack of the pseudo-ming bandit army is imminent, I am afraid this battle is not easy to fight!"

"That's right, even if I can stand it this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it a second time!"

Hearing the fearful words of the officials under his command, Sun Yawei turned his head and looked around at everyone, then stared at them and said loudly: "I, the Tang Dynasty, was established by the mandate of Heaven, His Majesty came out on a dragon, and the day when he ascended the throne, a phoenix would come to court, this is the future. There is something that only my emperor encounters, and these ancient sages must lead us to replace them!

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, we have no reason to be timid, and we will fight immediately when we encounter an enemy! "

Having said this, he paused, then took a deep breath, and said with a righteousness on his face: "All the soldiers in the city are worthy of being the elite soldiers of our Tang Dynasty. Bravely repelled the attack of the thieves, and achieved a lot of gains, destroying the prestige of the fake Ming thieves in the first battle, and destroying the morale of the fake Ming thieves in the first battle, this official will report the success to the front!"

When everyone listened to his words, several people's legs had already started to tremble, and they were even unable to stand still!
