- Chapter 485: The attack and defense of Yiju begins (third update)
Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that it is very abnormal for Taiwan to deploy only 30,000 troops in Yizhou. Even if it has to deal with Lin Danhan in the north and the Koreans in the east, it must deploy more than 100,000 troops here. You must know that the Ming Dynasty and the Empress Jin's combined military strength was the largest among the three directions.
Sun Chengzong was not unaware of this, so he reserved 110,000 troops in Jinzhou and Ningyuan just in case.
Furthermore, Sun Chengzong did not believe that the Ming and Houjin armies totaling 330,000 men would not be able to capture Yizhou City, which was defended by only 30,000 men.
As long as Yizhou is quickly captured and these 30,000 people are eliminated, the coalition forces can cross the Daling River and attack Guangning and Xiping until they overwhelm Liaoyang. In Sun Chengzong's view, in the face of absolute strength, conspiracy and conspiracy are as thin as paper and vulnerable to a blow.
But what he didn¡¯t know was how much the cold weapons would have to pay to capture the city under the defense of the United Guards, a modern army.
Especially on the walls of this city, there are as many as a hundred light army cannons. Although it is difficult to use this kind of artillery to attack the fortress, it is used for defense, and with sufficient ammunition, even if the opponent has an army of millions of cold weapons, it will be of no avail.
To this end, Kong Jie, commander of the Fourth Garrison Division, who was solely responsible for the defense of Yiju, deliberately built a large mound of earth 80% of the height of the city wall in the city to facilitate the placement of artillery.
At the same time, Sun Chengzong was even less aware that when he met Amin of Houjin, there was a fleet of as many as 300 troop transports loading 60,000 troops in the Empress Palace.
"Qin Keren, as the former enemy commander attacking Ningjin this time, you must remember that our army must stop at Qiantun and must not attack Shanhaiguan. At the same time, when attacking Ningyuan, Tashan, Xingshan, Jinzhou and other cities, Try not to engage in large-scale and fierce street fighting. If possible, try to drive the defenders north to join Sun Chengzong's main force of the Ming army." At the port, Song Jia emphasized again to Qin Keren.
"Commander, don't worry. I understand our strategic intentions this time and we won't mess around." After Qin Keren saluted Song Jia, he boarded the ship and left the Empress' Palace.
This time, Taiwan will deploy 60,000 troops to Juehua Island and Ningyuan via troop transports to cut off the southward retreat of the troops in front and surround them in the area north of Jinzhou. And Yizhou was just a bait to attract Sun Chengzong's attention.
And there is also a cavalry force of 12,000 people lurking on the vast grassland in the southwest of Uiju, waiting for the opportunity to annihilate Hou Jin's retreating army.
In the early morning of the 28th, after dinner, Sun Chengzong and Amin urged the armies of both sides to start preparing to attack the city.
Since the strength of the coalition forces was ten times that of Uiju City, the strategy adopted this time was a three-sided attack without prioritization. The Ming army led by Sun Chengzong will be responsible for attacking the southeast, while Amin will lead an army of 80,000 to attack the west.
As for the north of Yizhou, facing the Daling River, there was no place for the army to deploy, so they only sent people to watch closely and did not send troops to attack.
"Tell the brothers that when we attack later, we just need to drive the Mongols forward. Don't rush to die."
Before attacking, Amin once again gave instructions to his men. He was afraid that his subordinates would be aroused by hatred and rush forward recklessly as soon as they became angry.
"yes!"
The Jurchen generals of Houjin looked at each other and agreed reluctantly.
Many of them were not of high enough rank, and the Type 25 rifle did not have enough bullets, so they had not seen its power. Therefore, many of them were dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's retreat strategy against the Taiwanese army. indignant.
Now Amin is asking them to retreat, which makes many of them very angry.
How do they know that Amin is protecting them and does not want half of his troops with blue flags to be too damaged here.
Thinking of this, Amin cursed Huang Taiji in his heart. What he said beautifully is that at this moment when Dai Jin's life and death are related, we should put aside the grudge between each other and work together to tide over the difficulties.
I bother! If Huang Taiji had no selfish motives, why would he send half of the troops with blue flags on this expedition? It seems that he, Amin, is being asked to command the troops of various banners and win a selfless image among the middle and lower-level generals. Lizi does not want to use this to attack Amin's prestige and weaken the strength of Xianglan Banner!
"Zhao Zhijiao, you lead an army of 30,000 to attack the east gate. Zu Dashou, you lead an army of 30,000 to attack the south gate."
Sun Chengzong stood ten miles south of Yizhou City and announced the siege plan.??command.
For a time, the 60,000-strong army slowly moved toward Yiju City carrying various siege equipment. Its momentum is really majestic, especially the sixty trebuchets, which follow the army like giants.
"The Ming Dynasty's army looks pretty good. How could it be so badly beaten by Hou Jin?"
Putting down the telescope, Kong Jie asked in confusion.
"Who knows, so far, our United Guards have never fought against the Ming army except Dongjiang Town. Maybe they just look glamorous on the outside, but in fact they are just soft-legged shrimps." Kong Jie's staff officer , Li Chuan curled his lips and said.
Facing the tens of thousands of troops attacking from three sides outside the city, the soldiers of the United Guards in the city felt very relaxed, because they knew that with the guarantee of the ultra-long range of the muskets, it was impossible for the enemy to capture Yizhou.
You know, in order to be able to stick to the Daling River like a nail, more than 20 million bullets were concentrated in Yiju City, and each soldier was allocated 400 bullets.
In addition, the hundreds of artillery pieces have also prepared 50,000 rounds of artillery shells, and other supplies such as grenades are also ten times the usual amount.
Under such circumstances, even if they were members of the United Guards, it would take more than ten days to capture Yiju, and it would take tens of thousands of casualties before they could capture Yiju.
"What did these cold-weapon troops use to capture Yiju? Could it be that they just relied on those clumsy trebuchets?" What a joke, in front of artillery, the trebuchet is simply a target. I'm afraid it only takes one round of shelling to completely turn these trebuchets into pieces.
Yes, the trebuchet is basically a target in front of the artillery, and the artillery is the most confident in this.
"Brothers, now is the time for our artillery to show off its power. Blast all those trebuchets into pieces!" the artillery company commander shouted loudly at his men.
The artillery soldiers immediately adjusted the shooting angle according to the data provided by the surveyors, and fired the artillery shells amidst bursts of roar.
