Chapter 192 Seizing Yizhou
The three square formations steadily advanced to the city gate and entered the city.
Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army's military discipline is the strictest among all the Beijing Guards.
Therefore, the listed square matrix is the most standard.
Their organizational and mobility are also the strongest.
When they rushed into the city gate, they all held their spears and went from walking to trotting.
In this way, a sharp and terrifying impact was immediately formed.
The Eight Banners soldiers in front also quickly formed a formation, and they rushed over quickly and slashed towards the Tianxiong Army.
But when the knife cuts on the armor, it makes a clanging sound, and it can't be cut at all!
You should know that once heavy infantry fights in close combat, they were kingly existences in ancient times.
The real defense of Iron Armor is definitely not as careless as in movies and TV dramas.
No matter how sharp a knife is cut on it, it is impossible to cut it open in one go.
Unless you use iron bones to beat them hard!
Therefore, in the Song and Jin battles, the main weapons were the sabers, iron bones, and heavy axes.
Because Song Jin's armor used a lot of iron, almost fully armed.
The amount of iron used in cotton armor in the late Ming Dynasty was not enough, and it only protected the key positions.
The Eight Banners soldiers were shocked. This was the first time they saw such a Ming army.
The Eight Banners' knife not only did not cut off the Ming army, but instead was pierced by a spear and pushed out horizontally.
The Ming soldiers in the front row roared one by one, pushed forward with force, and their sharp spear stabbed the chest of the Eight Banners soldiers, stabbing the Eight Banners soldiers in the front into honeycombs.
It's like a steel bulldozer.
The Eight Banners soldiers around were immediately mobilized and quickly surrounded the Ming army.
The formation of the Ming army was kept very tightly and advanced in the form of a square formation. Both sides were guarded tightly, and the Eight Banners could not get close to them at all.
After waiting for the vanguard battalion to rush in outside, the second wave of Ming army heavy infantry immediately rushed towards the city gate.
The arrows on the top of the city could not block them at all.
When the second wave of Ming army rushed in, 600 steps of men had already entered the main road in front of the city gate.
The spear pierced the throat of the Jiannu soldier and quickly pulled it out.
Some stabbed the eyes, causing the eyeball to burst open.
Some of them stabbed the abdomen and directly pierced the internal organs.
Even if the Eight Banners have been doing this, there is no way for the steel troops.
Unless artillery!
But there are no artillery in Yizhou City!
However, the Eight Banners in the late Ming Dynasty were indeed brave and good at fighting. Although most of these Eight Banners were Han people, their combat effectiveness was greatly improved under the improved military system by Huang Taiji.
Their people grew, and soon 2,000 people gathered nearby.
And what about the Ming army?
The third wave of the Ming army's Infantry Armor has also entered the city.
900 Ming army infantry armor!
He puts heavy armor in uniform and holds a spear in his hand.
They are trotting, and their footsteps are basically the same.
Their tactic is very simple, they are to push forward with a spear!
The Jiannu soldiers in front were constantly stabbed into honeycombs, and all the obstacles were torn into pieces.
Blood was everywhere on the ground, and screams were heard one after another.
Finally, after more than a hundred people died, Jiannu was afraid and dared not get close.
Not only the Eight Banners of the Han people were afraid, but also the Eight Banners of the Jurchens were afraid.
This is impossible to fight at all.
If you can't kill with a knife, how can you fight this?
However, the Ming army also has weaknesses.
What weakness?
This kind of playing is too physically exhausting.
Think about it, if you carry more than 60 pounds of weight on your body, trotting for a while, and moving forward constantly, you will get tired!
However, during normal training, this has been overcome in some aspects.
The way to overcome it is to cross the front and rear rows to replace positions, and slow down the pace.
When fighting, heavy infantry requires not to quickly, but to steadily attack the enemy.
Therefore, since the focus is not on fastness, the pace will slow down for a period of time.
For example, stop trotting and walk forward slowly.
Anyway, it's already close combat.
At this time, Jiannu was already afraid of being beaten. They slowly retreated and did not dare to move forward.
The Ming army slowly moved forward.
The Ming army light cavalry outside the city had already begun to divide their troops and siege the city.
When Sun Degong arrived, he saw the situation ahead and was stunned at first, then he saw that his own person was actually retreating, and immediately became furious: "I'll give it to me! Who dares to take a step back? Military law will deal with it!"
The Jiannu soldiers had to bite the bullet and attack again.
But their attack was quickly suppressed.
The Jiannu soldiers who ran up the front had their internal organs stabbed into pieces.
Who dares to get on this?
Sun Degong was both scared and angry, and kept shouting: "Give me everything! Hurry!"
But no one dared to go on it anymore.
However, the Ming army kept moving forward and continued to move forward, while the Jiannu soldiers continued to move backward.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall shot with bows and arrows, but the bows and arrows were unable to use armored soldiers.
There were corpses everywhere on the ground, and the strong smell of blood came to your nose.
Ming Jun gasped and held the iron spear hard. Every time he stabbed, one person would die.
Although there was no large-scale frontal battle, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
Finally, Jiannu couldn't bear it anymore.
The soldiers turned around and ran away.
Sun Degong was furious and said, "Don't run! Whoever runs and kills whoever runs!"
But his roar was useless.
Because the morale of the army has collapsed, everyone is running away.
Seeing that Jiannu's army turned around and fled, the Ming army was not in a hurry to chase him.
After all, I was covered with more than 60 kilograms of iron on my body, so I definitely couldn't catch up. Not only did I not catch up, but I also consumed my energy. What if I was beaten in the end?
So the Ming army still moved forward steadily at its own pace.
Until the fourth wave of the stairs entered the city, they did not follow the large army in front, but climbed up to the city tower and swept the city tower.
Sun Degong's face turned pale and his mind was a little unreal.
What's going on?
Why did the situation become like this after talking to the girls for a while?
Those are really Ming troops?
Before, Sun Degong, he was a guerrilla general in Xiping Fort (equivalent to the division commander), and he was very familiar with the organization of the Ming army, and he definitely did not have such heavy armored infantry.
What the hell is going on!
The situation no longer gives Sun Degong the chance to ask why, because his men are running away!
The morale of the army was completely panicked, and more than a thousand people began to flee, leading more people.
Yizhou itself only has three thousand defenders.
But don't underestimate these three thousand defenders. If the Ming army did not bring the red cannons, it would be difficult for the city to attack today.
Soon, the city wall was also trapped in close combat.
But the problem is that Ming Jun is cheating, and he is covered in iron, so where is the meat?
The city wall was taken down without any suspense.
The messenger said: "Lu Shuai, the front-line troops of Jiannu in the city have been defeated by our army."
"Okay!" Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed and immediately sent the fifth and sixth waves of the stairs to the stairs.
Chapter completed!
