Ming Zuo

Yan'an is a long, narrow city in the shape of a Y, sandwiched by three mountain ranges.

The surrounding mountains are densely covered, the hills are undulating, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and there is a Yanhe River passing through the city in the middle.

With such terrain, it is meaningless to defend the city.

Therefore, Wu Sangui scattered his soldiers and horses on the surrounding mountains, and guarded the Yanhe River.

Although he was abandoned, Wu Sangui still remembered his duty.

He wanted to block Liang Yue's army and buy time for Azig's eastward retreat.

What Yan'an is like, Liang Yue knows better than Wu Sangui.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the two sides began to compete one mountain after another.

Neither side was willing to go down into the river valley, lest they be condescended by the other side.

However, the terrain above the mountains is narrow, and too many troops cannot be deployed, which makes the entire battlefield very scattered.

Wu Sangui lived like a year, wishing that the ten days would pass quickly.

Lao Tzu has weapons and technical advantages and doesn't need it, isn't it a stick.

However, breaking through Taiyuan, pursuing Duoduo, and forming a two-sided attack with the Ninth Division is an established plan, and Jian Zongan dare not delay.

The Qing army didn't have time to build a complete fortification on it, so it couldn't stop the artillery bombardment at all.

As long as he survives ten days, he can slip away.

Has anyone ever bullied someone like this?
Jian Zong'an couldn't hear his heart.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to retreat east along the Yanhe River.

Jian Zong'an and others gathered together to discuss for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what kind of moth Nexai was playing.

"Master, I saw this with my own eyes. It is absolutely true. There are really no Qing troops on the top of the mountains on both sides."

Since the Qing army gave up all the commanding heights, he was not polite, and immediately dispatched troops to complete the preemption.

In the past when the army was fighting, the few remaining artillery pieces were insignificant.But here, it has become a key factor in determining the outcome.

Wu Sangui had no other choice, he could only hope that when he withdrew to Yanchang County, Azig would leave him something to fill his stomach.

"Nexai really concentrated all the soldiers and horses in the city? Are there any arrangements on the top of the mountains on both sides?"

Swords and halberds alone cannot reach far.Even if they occupy the mountains on both sides, there is no way to provide any support for the city.

The generals of the Sixth Division were all puzzled.

In fact, the truth is blunt, and it is not complicated.

That being the case, they had no choice but to abandon the mountains on both sides and only guard the city.

Although the number is not as good as the Liang army, the weapons are not as good as the Liang army, and the combat effectiveness is also slightly worse.But for a period of time, there is no problem.

The Qing army completely emptied the mountains on both sides, just guarding the city, assuming a posture of being passively beaten.

As a military master, Zuo Menggeng certainly knew the city of Taiyuan very well.

But he has nothing to do.

When they also mastered how to use this kind of firearm, they felt that they were invincible in the world.

Once the National Defense Forces attack the front of the city from the south, the soldiers and horses he deployed on the top of the mountains on both sides are purely for show.

The National Defense Forces not only poured firepower into the city from the plains in the south, but also used mortars and rocket launchers to attack the Qing army from the tops of the mountains on both sides.

One day later, Taiyuan City was surrounded on three sides.

This practice, which violated military common sense, made the Sixth Division a little confused.

Because he doesn't have any long-range weapons at hand.

The army under his hand is not incapable of fighting.

As a result, when faced with the actual situation, the Sixth Division realized that all the original predictions had fallen into nothing.

It is entirely because the two sides have a biased understanding of the war.

Along the way, in addition to the bloody battle between the two sides, countless people fell down.

At the same time, Jian Zongan led the Sixth Division into the city of Taiyuan.

How could Liang Yue let him go?
The army pursued closely every step of the way, biting tightly.

If you hear it, it will only get worse.

But when people are at their end, the crisis will only get worse.

I feel that such a firearm is the most powerful in the world.

The flowing blood and the Yan River converged, dyeing the entire river red.

Regarding how to fight Taiyuan, Zuo Menggeng had already received detailed instructions from the sixth division on its way.

The biggest problem facing him is the lack of food.

Zhang Tao, the deputy division commander, was amazed at the side.

The artillerymen of the Sixth Division were too comfortable.

Amid the continuous sound of gunfire, Nexai's painstaking arrangements were disintegrated one by one, and a large number of Qing troops were killed.

So he taught the sixth division the ready-made example.

Why did God let the empire appear?
Why are the weapons of the Wehrmacht so terrible?
This completely overturned their understanding of war and weapons.

Although you will be beaten passively, the situation is difficult.But his task is not to compete with the Sixth Division, but to buy time for Dodo.

What Liang Yue has more advantage over Wu Sangui is that he still has a few remaining artillery pieces on hand.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Liang army was already stronger than that of the Manchu and Han troops, and the battle situation was a little out of balance from the beginning.

How Xu Shuai fought Taiyuan is a classic battle example that every soldier needs to study carefully.

But hungry, no matter how brave a soldier is, he will not be able to display his combat effectiveness.

Hiding in the dark, watching the city wall being baptized over and over again and beginning to crumble, Nexai wanted to cry but had no tears.

When they fought against Ming, they were already very envious of the firearms of the Ming army.After they were seized, they were all regarded as treasures.

It can't stop the frontal attack of the National Defense Forces.

Under the guidance of the commanding heights, they accurately concentrated their strikes on each of the defensive key points in the city.

Nexai led [-] Qing troops to stand in formation, blocking the Sixth Division's way to the north.

Once occupied by the National Defense Forces, condescending and suppressed by firepower, it will become extremely difficult to defend the city.

Standing at a high point, the defense of the city is almost unobstructed.

He only had less than 3 people on hand, and if he had to be assigned to guard the mountains on both sides, the number of troops defending the city would be too scarce.

The reconnaissance company commander felt insulted when he heard such doubts.

By the afternoon of the second day, the tired and hungry Qing army could no longer hold on, and lost seven hills in one breath.

It's not that Nexai doesn't know the importance of the mountains on both sides.

After all, the terrain on the top of the mountain is narrow, and it only takes a few shots to cover it completely.

It's a moment to be able to defend for a while, and the outcome is not important.

"Isn't Nexai a famous general of the Qing army? How could he be so dizzy? He can defend Taiyuan but not the mountains on both sides?"

However, after getting the reconnaissance results, Jian Zongan even suspected that he was wrong.

At noon, the mist dissipated and the sun shone brightly, something that completely broke the Qing army's heart appeared.

"what is that?"

Amid the shouts of countless Qing soldiers, dozens of hot air balloons soared into the sky and slowly floated over Taiyuan City.

Nexai was so dumbfounded that he didn't even notice that the knife in his hand dropped.

He was so frightened that he pulled his pants down!
