Chapter 521 Bohai Rim Strategy 4
On February 23rd, Chenshi.

Liu Zhijie led the [-]th Field Brigade to attack Yongqing.

The [-]th and [-]th Field Brigades fought against the Golden Army that Gu'an and Anci came to support respectively.

[-] garrison, [-] garrison, [-] garrison.

The Eighth Brigade defended the heavy artillery array.

Forty "Jingyan three-year-old heavy artillery" from four brigades were concentrated and set up in two locations in the southeast and southwest of Yongqing.

The special operations battalion transferred from Cangzhou served as a mobile force.

At this time, the general attack officially began.

During the two days of Jin's exploratory attack, the artillery battalion had already figured out all the nearby terrain parameters.Today I directly let the heavy artillery that has not been used in battle start.

The "South Gate" that was barely built up in Yongqing County was once again bombarded.

The bombardment did not stop. From the south gate to the east and west, after dozens of steps, a gap was opened in the city wall until the city wall was blown to pieces.

The Jin troops in Gu'an and Yongci were already in place, and the [-]th and [-]th field brigades set up their formations to push forward.

Liu Xinqi could see from the Chinese Army station that the headquarters of the [-]th Brigade issued an order to attack.

The flags were waved and the drums were beating loudly.

It is also a standard siege tactic, and when used in the seventh brigade, it appears to be very indestructible.

The squatting tiger cannon suppressed the defenders on the wall, allowing the field army to advance to a position seventy steps away from the city wall. The moat more than two feet wide was quickly built with long wooden boards, and the suspension bridge at the city gate was bombarded two days ago. fragments.

Half of the musketeers formed an array to maintain suppression, and half of the musketeers crossed the moat along the wooden plank bridge and entered the gap in the collapsed city wall.

Inside the city wall are densely packed Jin Kingdom defenders.

All the fighting was concentrated at several gaps in the city wall.

Because soldiers from their own side entered the gap, the muskets and artillery behind them could no longer pour ammunition into the gap, which greatly reduced the local firepower of the Xinghan League.

Seeing that his side had heavy casualties, Liu Zhijie immediately transferred the reconnaissance company and some soldiers and officers to the front line.

Soon, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the Jin Army's defense near the southern city wall collapsed, and more than half of the musketeers of the [-]th Field Brigade rushed into the city.

The battle situation inside the city has basically been decided, but that is not the case outside the city.

The cavalry of the Jin Army rushed towards the positions of the two brigades as if risking their lives. Not only did they charge frontally, but they also charged with equal intensity from the side. Liu Xinqi had to ask the Eighth Brigade guarding the artillery array to support the east and west battlefields respectively. The garrison guarding the central army was sent to the front to guard the artillery array.

The grenadiers behind the gun formation were throwing grenades at the advancing Jin Army formation as if they were free of charge.

Even so, the desperate Jin army still broke into the gun formation.

For the first time, the field army of the Xinghan Alliance was rushed into a gun formation by the enemy. The bayonet skills that they had practiced diligently before were officially put to use. In close combat, the casualties of the Xinghan Allied Forces increased sharply.

The soldiers of the special battalion became a fire brigade. Wherever the front line was broken into, the golden soldiers who broke in would dare to get out.

The gun formation is like a pressed rubber band, sometimes concave and sometimes convex.

"Get out!" Liu Xinqi ordered.

Four field brigades and sixteen cavalry battalions were gathered before the war, and they finally waited for the opportunity to arrive.

Nearly [-] cavalrymen rushed straight into the flank of the Jin army on the west side. The assault blades composed of warriors were like hot knives cutting into butter against the Jin army, with overwhelming force.

The front was fighting with the enemy, and the back was kicked, and the Jin army on the west collapsed.

Yongqing County was captured, the friendly forces on the west side were outflanked, and the commanders on the east side were also a little panicked.

Soon, the Xinghan League cavalry that had finished adjusting rushed towards the east as a whole.

"Clang! Clang!"

The Jin army shouted gold and retreated. "Follow me!"

Liu Xinqi ordered.

Don't chase the poor because they are afraid of an ambush. The Xinghan Alliance knows the details of the Jin army very well, and they also have all the intelligence around the battlefield. The Jin army on the east side already controls all of Anci County.

If the Xinghan Alliance hadn't been short of manpower, when they launched a general offensive before, they would have sent a partial division directly over, which would have left the Jin Army homeless on the east side.

The cavalry of the field army pursued and killed them, and the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin fled in embarrassment until they reached Anci County. The deserters did not enter the city, but bypassed Anci City and headed north to Zhongdu.

The field army cavalry stopped chasing and entered Anci City to stabilize public order.

……

"You lead troops to Gu'an and take advantage of the situation to capture Gu'an." Liu Xinqi ordered.

Liu Xinhui led the fifth brigade toward the northeast.

When the time came, there were no more resisting Jin troops on the battlefield. The garrison guarding the camp also came forward to help clean the battlefield. The logistics soldiers set up the pots and stoves and prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"Report!" A rider rushed over from a distance.

"Grade A information, please read it, leader."

Below the special level, the highest level of intelligence, communications personnel are allowed to enter any office and military location without notification.

Liu Xinqi took the information and checked it, and Zhao Yinghao next to him looked curious.

"Take a look." Liu Xinqi quickly read the note in his hand and handed it to Zhao Yinghao.

Zhao Yinghao took it and browsed it quickly, then cursed:

"F*ck him, this dog emperor is really nothing."

Liu Xinqi was also a little angry, but he could still control his emotions.

"Calling all deputy brigade-level officers to the Chinese army's tent to hold a military meeting."

"Yes!" The guard took the order and turned around to deliver the order.

"Let's go back first and think about how to deal with it." Liu Xinqi greeted.

"Thankfully, we defeated the last main force of the Jin Kingdom today, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable." Zhao Yinghao said thankfully.

"That's true. I had guessed that Jin Guo would have back-ups, but I never expected that it would be able to do this."

Soon, the two returned to the Chinese army's tent.

Half an hour later, except for Liu Xinhui, who was heading to Gu'an, the other brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders were already in place.

"Read it."

Zhao Yinghao took out the note and started reading.

"On February 3828, Kaiyuan 21, the Western Army of the State of Zhao returned from Xiqin Road to Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, with a strength of 20. On February 22, the Jin State mobilized 30 forbidden troops from the south of the Yangtze River and stationed in Songcheng, Nanjing, Yingtian Prefecture.…"

After letting everyone digest the contents of the intelligence, Liu Xinqi said: "In other words, Zhao State currently has a total of more than 70 troops deployed on various roads in Henan."

"This...why couldn't they be so tough when they were fighting Jin Guo?" Liu Zhijie couldn't understand.

"Who knows." Wu Jin also couldn't understand: "Thankfully, we have defeated the Jin Army now. Otherwise, if it had been a few days later and we would have been attacked from both sides, we might have had to retreat to the east of Glue."

"We can't relax now. We have the most serious problem." Liu Xinqi interjected: "That is the lack of gunpowder."

I was unaware of the attack on the Jin Army before, but now I realize that there are still 70 enemy troops in the south. The gunpowder that was already used is about the same, and it immediately seems to be stretched.
