Valley Emperor

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Because of the serious attrition of infantry, the combat effectiveness of the fourth mixed regiment has been greatly weakened, so Gu Shizhong also adopted some workarounds He began to draw some soldiers from two baggage battalions and three artillery battalions, mainly baggage and transport soldiers, and temporarily supplemented them to the lost infantry battalions.

In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the five infantry battalions in the Fourth Mixed Regiment!

Although in most cases in the past, these auxiliary troops would not participate in front-line battles, and would only participate in some defensive battles in a limited manner, but that was just an ordinary situation. Now, Gu Shizhong's lack of troops makes it impossible to take care of them. Auxiliary troops, but prepared to let them participate in front-line battles.

These baggage soldiers and some transport soldiers, although they are auxiliary forces, are also regular troops, and they have also received complete infantry tactical training. Although their overall quality cannot be compared with formal infantry, they are at least better than pure recruits.

As for the deployment of these auxiliary soldiers, the baggage and artillery units lack manpower, and it is difficult to complete the existing tasks such as the transportation of a large number of artillery and baggage. Several civilian husbands were recruited from the two villages on the road.

Because of the emergency, Gu Shizhong couldn't care less about maintaining Master Wang's attitude. When recruiting people, he was not voluntary as before, but forced.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to recruit so many people in just two villages, that's because he recruited all the young men from these two villages.

Of course, even if it is forcibly recruited, Gu Shizhong still cannot be as unscrupulous as the Ming army. He will still give certain supplements when recruiting, such as giving a certain amount of food to the families of these young and strong people. At the same time, he will not let These young adults bring their own dry food to work on the road, but will provide sufficient food.

And promised that when the troops arrived in Nanchang, they would directly issue a certain amount of money to let them return.

From here to Nanchang, in fact, it is only a day's journey. Although these villagers are dissatisfied, they are forced by swords and guns, and they have enough food to eat, and food to leave to their families and money. So work is still hard work.

Gu Shizhong did it deliberately to give more generous treatment than the usual way of recruiting people. Now Gu Shizhong doesn't have much time to waste on the road. He needs to arrive in Nanchang within a day, and he must arrive at Nanchang City at noon tomorrow at the latest, and then Ready to siege.

Along the way, he needs these civilians to work hard to transport artillery and baggage.

Otherwise, if these civilians are slack in their work, it will greatly delay his advance time. At that time, even if they can kill a few civilians to deter them, it will not help.

Relying on these unreliable methods along the way, Gu Shizhong finally arrived at Nanchang City with the fourth mixed regiment, and did not drop any artillery or ammunition cart!

This has to be said, it is a small miracle in the history of the Fourth Mixed Regiment's march!

You must know that the Fourth Mixed Regiment has been strengthened, with dozens of field guns and enough ammunition to fight three large-scale battles.

Either so many artillery shells can be successfully carried to Nanchang City, especially when a large number of baggage and transport troops are being dispatched to temporarily serve as infantry, the Fourth Mixed Regiment can still do it. It can be said that it is quite difficult.

In the morning of the next day, the Fourth Mixed Regiment of the Datang Army, which had gone through untold hardships along the way, finally successfully arrived at Nanchang City!

When Gu Shizhong looked at Nanchang City, which was only five or six hundred meters away, he couldn't help but sigh, this way Nima is really not easy!

Just when Gu Shizhong brought his troops to the foot of Nanchang City, Zhang Yue also received news of the disastrous defeat of the Superintendent Cavalry!

After hearing about the fiasco of the cavalry overseer, Zhang Yue couldn't believe his eyes and thought he had read the report wrong. Bian Yi is a pig brain.

This officer asked him to just contain and hold back the pace of the pseudo-Tang bandit army. Who gave him the courage to take the initiative to attack the infantry phalanx of the pseudo-Tang bandit army?

Zhang Yue, who was extremely angry, just sent his direct line of guards to rush to the position of the cavalry of the superintendent, and then smashed Wang Bianyi to the ground and escorted him back to see him awaiting trial!

Wang Bianyi also felt that he was aggrieved. He blamed that **** Zhao Qianhu. He didn't even need to die, and even dragged him into the water. If Zhao Qianhu hadn't rushed up directly, what would have happened to him, Wang Bianyi? Will also rush up with the main cavalry.

But it's all too late!

At this time, Gu Shizhong had already set up dozens of artillery pieces, and then began to launch a large-scale shelling on Nanchang City. The twelve heavy howitzers roared one after another.

The heavy grenade flew over hundreds of meters, then landed on the city head, or exploded behind the city wall. Every explosion was huge. If there were Ming soldiers in the explosion range, it would immediately cause heavy casualties. Where no one is, there will also be a large amount of smoke and dust.

In addition, the other thirty or so field guns did not stop, and launched shelling towards the city head. It didn't take long for the city gate tower to be smashed. Even the city walls were full of pits and pits, and many battlements were directly attacked. smash.

Although it is said that the shelling does not cause any actual casualties to the city wall itself, those shells weighing dozens of kilograms are actually useless against the city wall that is almost ten meters thick, but the fierce shelling completely swept the city head. .

The Ming army soldiers who were still waiting on the top of the city were killed and wounded in an instant, and the artillerymen of the Ming army who tried to control the artillery on the top of the city to fight back also suffered heavy casualties.

By the evening of the same day, the Fourth Mixed Regiment had not yet begun to use infantry to attack the city. The Ming army defending the city had already suffered hundreds of casualties. Part of it was killed by a grenade behind the city walls.

In the evening, Deng Mingjun, the defender of the city, didn't even dare to go to the top of the city, and he didn't even dare to stay in some open areas behind the city wall, because the grenades of the thieves would fly over the top of the city and fall in the city to explode.

And the retreat of the Ming army is also the effect that the Datang Army needs to carry out violent artillery bombardment!

If the artillery could not suppress the Ming army on the top of the city, then the heavy armoured infantry could not attack the city.

"Sir, the effect of artillery suppression is relatively good. If this continues, when it is dawn tomorrow, when the infantry of our army attacks, there will be too much resistance!" At this time, a major said to Gu Shizhong.

But Gu Shizhong said: "Tomorrow? No, tomorrow, the variables are too big, let the troops get ready, and we will start the siege in half an hour."

The subordinate looked puzzled: "The city will be attacked in half an hour? After half an hour, it will be almost dark at that time! If you launch an attack at night, I am afraid it will not be easy to fight, and it will be inconvenient to enter the city later!"

Gu Shizhong said: "I know, but the time is not waiting for me! Wait until tomorrow to act, and the Ming army infantry will arrive, and it will be even harder to be attacked by the enemy!"

I learned from the prisoners of the Ming army before that the Ming army returned to Nanchang not only with cavalry, but also with tens of thousands of infantrymen. These 10,000 infantrymen are rushing towards Nanchang. According to their schedule, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive tomorrow.

So there is not much time left for Gu Shizhong!

Anyway, the torches will be lit later to fight. Although it is more difficult than the daytime, it is not insurmountable. After all, this is not a night march, nor a night attack.

They launched an attack with a torch in such an upright manner, and he was going to turn the night into day!

The sky gradually darkened, but it was not completely dark yet. At this time, Gu Shizhong also gave the order to launch a general attack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The infantry troops that were already prepared rushed towards Nanchang City like a tide.

Under the urging of generals at all levels, the Ming troops in Nanchang City also began to run up to the city head to prepare for defense, but under the heavy artillery fire of the Datang Army, these Ming soldiers who had just arrived at the city head suffered heavy casualties. Originally, the guards and civilians who were not very determined to fight, they dared to stay at the front of the city to fight back when the casualties were not less than that. Many people just ran up, and after seeing a pile of corpses and wounded, they immediately ran down again. They even left the city wall directly, took off their military uniforms, threw their weapons, and went straight to become a good citizen.

This also led to this siege battle, which progressed much more smoothly than Brigadier General Gu Shizhong himself expected!

Gu Shizhong, who had planned to fight a tough battle in his heart, found that after his infantry launched the charge, the Ming army in the city did not resist much at all, and the soldiers of the assault battalion were only sporadically blocked and boarded the city!

After the assault battalion of the Fourth Mixed Regiment climbed to the top of the city and opened the city gate, the total casualties of the Fourth Mixed Regiment were only forty or so!

After the city gate was opened, the main force of the 4th Hybrid Regiment quickly entered the city, and then wiped out the Ming army on the other city walls. Facing the onslaught of the 4th Hybrid Regiment, the Ming army, which was already in complete chaos, had no intention of resisting, and soon it became A skirmisher.

Gu Shizhong is also too lazy to take care of these stragglers. As long as they don't gather to resist, Gu Shizhong doesn't spend too much time on them. If they want to escape, they can escape!

But if these fallen Ming troops dared to come together to resist, the Fourth Mixed Regiment would launch a fierce attack to break them up again and not give them a chance to reorganize.

This is the best description of the Ming army defenders in Nanchang City now!
