Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! This Nanchang siege battle, this is once again proved by facts, relying on ordinary guard soldiers and temporarily recruited youth Strong, it is impossible to stop the Datang Army, and even the most basic resistance cannot be achieved.

However, it is precisely because most of the defenders in Nanchang City are guard soldiers, at least a small number of local recruits, that the Fourth Mixed Regiment was able to capture Nanchang City so smoothly!

If more than 10,000 people are the superintendent and the frontier army, then the fourth mixed regiment is not so easy to say, I am afraid that it can take Nanchang or not.

In Luling City, Ji'an, facing the onslaught of 30,000 Tang army and more than 100 artillery pieces, the Ming army in the city resisted stubbornly and brought a lot of casualties to the Second Army.

However, it was only the supervising new army and the frontier army who fiercely resisted at the beginning. Although the number of ordinary guard soldiers and young soldiers in the Ming army guarding the city was larger, their role was not as good as that of the supervising new army and the frontier army. one part.

If an army like the Ming Army's Inland Guards were placed on the Datang Army's side, they would have been eliminated long ago, without wasting military spending and food. In fact, the Datang Army really did this. The garrison army with a strength of nearly 100,000 troops is stronger than the guards of the Ming army, but if it is eliminated, it will be eliminated.

And now, there is no idea of ​​using prisoners of war to organize troops on a large scale!

At present, only a very small number of prisoners of war captured by the King of the Tang Dynasty can continue their military careers, and such people have to be selected first and then undergo complete recruit training before they can join the current Master of the Tang Dynasty. And more prisoners of war, most of them became laborers in the reclamation regiment, and cultivated fields in the rear, and some continued to stay in prisoner of war camps, digging resistance in major mines, repairing roads and bridges .

Even within the Ming Dynasty, they knew that the local guards in the mainland could not be used much. Zhang Yue wanted to abolish the local guards more than once, so as to free up military expenses to expand the scale of the new army. .

However, the Ming military guard system formed in the past two hundred years, even if it is already rotten, it does not mean that it can be abolished by abolition. There are too many restraints here, even if it is the most powerful among the many frontier ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Yue, who is also incapable of doing so.

The more than 10,000 guardsmen in Nanchang City only resisted for just one afternoon, only one afternoon!

After more than 300 people were killed and wounded in the resistance of the city head, the whole army was declared defeated, and Nanchang fell!

However, after the city was broken, the defenders in the city suffered even more casualties. Well, this was mainly because the Datang Army blocked the main roads in the city, and some rout soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to escape or destroy were killed and injured a lot. And this number can't even be counted, because the city is too chaotic now, and the fourth mixed regiment is too lazy to count how many defeated soldiers it has killed.

In this battle, the fourth mixed regiment lost more than 20 people and injured more than 60 people. It is worth noting that more than half of the casualties occurred after entering the city. Strictly speaking, the casualties during the siege stage were five Less than ten people!

The total number of casualties of the Fourth Mixed Regiment was not even one tenth of the casualties caused by the engagement with the Ming cavalry yesterday!

And this battle can be regarded as the easiest fortified battle fought by the Datang Army in the past year or so. It attacked twice as many enemies with inferior troops, and with less than 100 casualties, it was enough to capture a well-fortified city like Nanchang.

Nanchang City not only has an extremely thick city wall, but also has at least dozens of artillery pieces. Although most of the other artillery pieces are old-fashioned goods, some newly built 5-jin, 7-jin cannons and shotguns were all owned by Zhang Yue. The main force has been taken away, but the defensive power is still sufficient!

It is absolutely impossible for the entire army to collapse after two or three hundred casualties!

After stepping on the head of Nanchang City, Gu Shizhong couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if the pseudo-ming bandit army were all these guards!"

The side also said: "Yes, if the bandit army is like this, in less than three years, I will be able to pacify the universe and lay the foundation for the eternal life of the Tang Dynasty!"

It is a pity that their idea is impossible to achieve. The Ming Dynasty also knew that the soldiers of the inland guards were unusable, and they did not expect to rely on the guards to suppress the pseudo-Tang Dynasty. Now they are fighting against the pseudo-Tang thieves in the south. The main force is the frontier army and various recruits recruited for new training, such as the new army of the supervising standard under Zhang Yue, the bandit army under Yu Dayou, and the local recruits that are compiled and trained by local civilians and military generals.

In this way, Zhang Yue's subordinate, who is chasing the Second Army, is the main force of this kind of army!

And these frontier troops and various recruits, although the combat effectiveness is still not as good as the Tang Army, but it is much better than the local guards!

After capturing the city wall of Nanchang, Gu Shizhong quickly let the troops control the main traffic roads and important buildings in the city, mainly warehouses, official yamen, etc. He did not even bother to see the surrendered Ming army civil and military officials, but the first. Time is to command the troops to enter the city quickly, and then re-fortify the city defense.

Transport the artillery in and move it to the top of the city, sort out the artillery captured from the Ming army, and re-arm it. If you want to defend Nanchang City, the city wall defense and artillery are the most important.

At the same time, it is also the first time to directly declare martial law in the whole city. People in the city are not allowed to go to the streets at night for no reason. Even if they go out during the day, they must be prepared to be interrogated by patrolling soldiers at any time. What about the place? Kill directly on the spot!

And immediately accepted a large number of warehouses of the Ming army. Nanchang, as the main defensive city before Zhang Yue's main force, was hoarding a large amount of food and ammunition. Although some of them were taken away by Zhang Yue's main force before, they remained in the city. The food and ammunition and many more, of which the food alone is enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for a month.

When the city was broken, although some Ming army generals and officials tried to burn the food and ammunition, most of the Ming army was scattered, and the Fourth Mixed Regiment also moved quickly, so only a small part was burned, and most of them were destroyed. It was rescued.

With these food and ammunition, Gu Shizhong's troops can stay at ease for at least a few months!

However, in order to better defend Nanchang, Gu Shizhong did not want to cause chaos in Nanchang City, and then cause himself too much trouble, but he also did not have the time and energy to deal with the internal affairs of Nanchang City, so he dispatched several administrative officers. Then, the officers of the Ming army who had surrendered themselves were recruited and demoted, and at the same time, they accepted a large number of yamen and other personnel in the city who originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and began to impose strict military control on Nanchang City!

Because Gu Shizhong knew that it wouldn't be long before the Ming army's counterattack would come!

And it's not the 10,000 Ming army who returned to Nanchang, and it will be Zhang Yue's 100,000 main force.

Gu Shizhong even thought about it with his toes. Once Zhang Yue found out that Nanchang was lost, he would definitely be furious, and then he would lead the army back to Nanchang!

This also means that the fourth mixed regiment will likely face the attack of the main force of Zhang Yue in a few days!

After capturing Nanchang, the Fourth Mixed Regiment could never retreat. Li Chunjing and him put so much thought into capturing Nanchang City and opening the waterway to Poyang Lake and even the Yangtze River!

If this retreats, then it means that the previous achievements have been abandoned. How can this be worth living outside the city of Nanchang and killing and wounding thousands of soldiers!

Gu Shizhong must defend Nanchang, even in the face of the attack of the 100,000 main force under Zhang Yue, waiting for the arrival of the main force of Li Chunjing's Second Army!

In order to defend Nanchang, the interior of Nanchang City must remain stable, strict military officers and martial law are necessary, and material control is also necessary. After all, there are still a large number of people in the city.

Although some people in the city had fled Nanchang beforehand because of the war, there were still more than 30,000 people in Nanchang City, plus nearly 10,000 Ming army defenders who surrendered, were captured, or remained in the city .

And these people can't let them mess up, nor can they kill them all or drive them out of the city.

These people are the labor resources when defending the city. Gu Shizhong also expects to use them to repair the city defense fortifications and help build some equipment for defending the city.

Therefore, after the second day, the fourth mixed regiment of ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ began to recruit young men in the city to speed up the construction of the fortifications at the top of the city, and built the city's fortifications in accordance with the Datang Army's own way.

For example, the artillery positions deployed at the front of the city will not be directly deployed behind the battlements!

Although the solid shells of the field artillery cannot cause much damage to the body of the city wall, but hit the battlements, the battlements cannot be stopped. In order to protect the artillery and other defenders of the city, on the city wall, it must be on the basis of the battlements. Reinforce.

For example, in artillery positions, it is necessary to accumulate a large number of sandbags in front of the artillery!

When Gu Shizhong was guarding the city of Nanchang!

The news of the fall of Nanchang also spread slowly. Finally, the defenders in the city had some conscience. When the city was broken, they sent a messenger to carry a letter, and Pegasus reported to Zhang Yue!

But it wasn't Zhang Yue who got the news first, but the tens of thousands of Ming troops who were rushing to Nanchang!

The next day, the 10,000-odd Ming army, who was only fifteen kilometers away from Nanchang City, learned that Nanchang had been overrun by the pirate army of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty. Nanchang's words, but those senior generals are still very stable!

Siege?

What a joke!

Don't drag us when you are courting death!

They didn't even dare to go under Nanchang City, because they were afraid that the pseudo-Tang thieves would take the initiative to kill them, so they stopped at a place about ten kilometers away from Nanchang City. On the one hand, they sent people to monitor Nanchang City, and on the other hand Send someone to report to Zhang Yue and ask for help!

To recapture Nanchang, it is unreliable to rely on these 10,000 people, and Zhang Yue has to send the main force back!

After the news reached Zhang Yue's side, Zhang Yue didn't panic this time, but sighed and murmured, "The times are tough!"
