Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 635

The Korean soldiers on Yizhou City did not find a Ming army at all before the Ming Dynasty bombarded them.

North Korean general Li Ze only saw a group of North Korean officers and soldiers fleeing back in a hurry when he left the main city with his troops.

"Which part do you belong to, how did you retreat, and still be so frustrated!"

North Korean General Li Ze showed surprise and asked angrily.

"General, we didn't defend the pass wall in the Sui Mountain area. The Ming army has a very strange artillery that can pass through the forest in front of us and hit the inside of our pass wall. Our brothers were killed and injured countless times because of this, so the Ming army rushed directly. Come up, and the methods are very cruel, and the guns do not spare anyone's life, it is estimated that tens of thousands of Ming troops are coming here!"

After the North Korean officer finished speaking with a mournful face, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. When he lowered his head, he realized that he had been pierced through the lower abdomen by the sword of the North Korean general Li Ze in front of him. fell to the ground:
"General forgive me!"

"If you retreat without a fight, how can you spare them lightly and execute them on the spot to boost the morale of the army!"

Li Ze, the North Korean general, was a man who ran the army quite strictly, but no matter how strict the army was, he had to face the fate of being crushed by the Ming army.

However, at this time, the North Korean general Li Ze still hadn't realized that he was about to be brutally abused by the Ming army. Now he just felt that the difficulty of the war had increased, and said to his generals:

"The Ming army seems to have more powerful firearms, allowing them to break through our barriers, but this does not mean that they can easily defeat us. Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army has relied on the mighty artillery. the city is impossible;

Now it is necessary to divide the 12 heavy troops in the city into two parts. One part must gather [-] heavy troops and go out of the city to form a spear formation. Ming infantry;
We can no longer rely on the city wall. In addition, [-] heavy troops must immediately disperse into various workshops in the city to prepare for street fighting with the Ming army. Attack the main force of the Ming army here! "

When North Korean general Li Ze had just finished speaking, howitzer shells from the Ming Army had already started falling on the city of Uiju.

As described above, the entire Uiju City seemed to have suffered a strong earthquake. Right under the eyes of North Korean General Li Ze, the walls and towers of the entire Uiju City collapsed directly. The sound was blown away, and only turned into some bloody things that fell on the ground, flying sand and stones splashed among the thick smoke.

"Let's go, General!"

North Korean general Li Ze was dragged dozens of steps away by his own generals to avoid being affected by the storm.

But when he got up from the rubble, he saw that his entire Uiju city wall was already in ruins, and the corpses of North Korean officers and soldiers were like bacon baked in winter hanging all over the ruined walls, and some of them were screaming with half their bodies. crawling on the ground.

"How come, how can this happen?"

Li Ze, the North Korean general, muttered to himself and asked in a daze. He could not help but look back, but no Ming army appeared.

"How powerful is the artillery of the Ming army? Why didn't our scouts within five miles find it?"

However, Li Ze, the North Korean general, was quite quick-witted. After a short period of distraction, he realized that once the Ming army fired its cannons, it would definitely launch a large-scale charge. The combat mode since Wanli is very familiar.

Therefore, the North Korean general Li Ze immediately shouted:

"Quick, hurry up and immediately follow my previous order to mobilize the [-] heavy soldiers from the school field here, organize a camp, and stop the charge of the Ming army below. Vice-General Park, you immediately go to the city and organize the remaining soldiers and horses to organize street fighting in the city! !"

Li Ze, the North Korean general, drew his sword and pointed at his generals. It was obvious that as long as his generals did not obey his orders, he would directly kill them. Therefore, Vice General Park had no choice but to take his own soldiers along with him. He rushed to the city of Yizhou, while Li Ze hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to gather his heavy troops.

but.

The North Korean general Li Ze neglected that Daming's current artillery can be fired continuously, even at an astonishing speed of one shot per minute. Therefore, when the North Korean general had just finished giving the order, his subordinate General Park had just climbed up the Yiyi with his own soldiers. When the city wall of the state city collapsed, another ten grenades exploded.

Lieutenant General Pu also happened to be hit by the bomb, and his whole body was lifted up by a violent wave of air on the spot, but all he could see was his head, while his limbs had already flown in other directions, and his own soldiers could not Survived, some were even blown into residue.

The North Korean general Li Ze was temporarily deaf by another violent explosion. However, after regaining his sanity, the North Korean general Li Ze insisted on gathering heavy troops outside Uiju City, and sent people to organize street fighting in the city again.

……

Gao Jie, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards Army, is already a veteran in his sixties, but in fact he has just graduated from the general class of the Ming Army Military Academy. With the emergence of new weapons, the mode of warfare has changed. For generals The requirements of military training have also changed. Generals like Gao Jie who command the classical army will often return to military schools for re-education.

But because of this, Gao Jie commanded an infantry coordinated army, and he was not as unfamiliar as before. Even because of the deepening of cultural education and military theory education, coupled with the accumulation of decades of combat experience, he is no longer Chongzhen for 17 years. The former ordinary peasant army general.

After discovering through the telescope that there were still a large number of troops in Uiju City after the explosion and the order was quite orderly, Gao Jie had already guessed the purpose of the North Korean general Li Ze, and laughed:

"This man is a general, not the kind of coward who runs away in fright as soon as he hears the sound of the cannons. Let me know that the howitzers will advance five hundred steps, form two teams of battle, and attack the key rent-reducing houses in the city in a staggered manner, firing a round To destroy the purpose of organizing street fighting, the machine gun battalion and the infantry battalion of the First Corps are responsible for annihilating the North Korean soldiers outside the city!"

After Gao Jie's order, the combat staff officer with the army immediately rushed to the Howitzer Battalion, and brought a map of the key buildings in Uiju City to provide the Howitzer Battalion with the most suitable bombing point.

After about half an hour, the Guards howitzers fired a third round of artillery attack.

The artillery battalion of the Sixth Army of the Guards and the six infantry battalions also formed an formation and approached Uiju City.

The Ming Dynasty Machine Cannon Battalion is composed of Ming hand-cranked machine guns and light field guns, as well as portable short guns and submachine guns, aiming to achieve short-range intensive firepower killing.

The machine gun battalion generally walks in front of the infantry.

Among them, the number of submachine guns is relatively small. Strictly speaking, a submachine gun like Daming is not a submachine gun because it is still relatively large. Strictly speaking, it is a short-handled machine gun that can be carried by a strong soldier alone, but it can be fired in bursts. The number and range accuracy are far inferior to rifles or even hand-cranked machine guns, but they can kill faster and more intensively than rifles in individual assaults.

However, its technical difficulty is still very high. The current annual output of Ming Dynasty does not exceed one hundred. Up to now, only the military-level and imperial guard battalions are equipped with this kind of firearms, even the only machine gun of the Sixth Guards Army. There are only fifty battalions.

However, he is enough to meet the needs of killing and injuring North Korean soldiers in large numbers.
