Chapter 664: The Autumn Strong

More and more enemy soldiers crawled out of the flying eaves, which made the Ming army a little busy. There were more than 30 people hidden in one flying eaves. The enemy soldiers hiding in it would rather be killed by random guns.

, he didn't want to hide in a narrow tunnel that was as hard as a steamer. Soon the entrance of the cave was blocked by corpses, and there were still people under the pile of corpses.

Macheng felt a sense of time and space disorder, and seemed to be in the cruel Southeast Asian battlefield during World War II.

The corpses piled up in one place kept shaking, looking creepy. The Ming army around them was unwilling to waste ammunition anymore. More than a dozen spearmen surrounded them and poked them violently. A dull and short scream came from the pile of corpses. Hula

The two Ming soldiers carried a can of tung oil and poured it on it, igniting it with a torch. The tung oil did not burn quickly but emitted an unpleasant and pungent smell. Several large bundles of green shrubs covered it.

The thick smoke and the fire poured back into the tunnel, and a low roar and cough sounded in the tunnel, and it took a long time to calm down.

Ma Cheng looked at the tyrannical actions of his subordinates without any expression. The senior generals around him did not stop him, and they all felt it was right. Any general who saw the tyrannical and cruelty of his army would only feel excited.

Instead of being kind-hearted, even in the era of cold weapons, some generals deliberately used the method of massacre to inspire the tyrannical hearts of their troops. A tyrannical army usually has an exponential increase in combat effectiveness.

Ma Cheng never thought that he was a gentleman, nor did he care about how his subordinates used to destroy the enemy. He only had a complete Liaoyang City.

boom!

The Ming army used dozens of kilograms of gunpowder to collapse the eaves. The entire section of the hole collapsed. It covered several rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms and buried them with soil. I don’t know how many people were buried inside. Two days later, Yangqian and Yangzuo

The Tibetan soldiers underground in the two forts were wiped out. After nearly half a year of battle, the Ming army finally opened the Liaoyang outer defense system and placed the cannons on the commanding heights of the Yangqian Fort line.

These two large military forts are the outer fulcrum of the Liaoyang city defense system. After capturing these two large forts, the Ming army could put the cannons on the commanding heights and threaten the Liaoyang city wall with heavy artillery.

Liaoyang, Longding Mountain.

Horse City climbed Longding Mountain, and suddenly opened its sight before us. The scenery was endless, with mountains and waters, and a large undeveloped primeval forest. Ten miles away is the tall wall of Liaoyang Jiancheng, and there is still winding Liaodong.

The Great Wall is integrated with the Liaoyang City, with beacon towers, towers and military forts made of stones. Three mountains and one river are extremely dangerous.

I used the Qianli Mile Mile to find the route that sneaked into Liaoyang a few years ago. That route no longer exists.

Ma Cheng unconsciously touched his nose. It must have been a few years ago when he attacked Liaoyang and was slaughtered. Huang Taiji ordered the renovation of Liaoyang city defense to avoid being attacked by the light cavalry again from the sea. One drink and one pecking, there was a certain number of things.

This Liaoyang became so difficult to crack because of his shocking slaughter. In front of him, there were crowds of people, and a large number of auxiliary soldiers were building artillery towers, building three solid artillery towers in three directions.

The Taiwan Town Army is good at firepower, and the baggage battalion is transporting artillery up the mountain, and three artillery positions can be built soon.

The artillery tower at the forefront is only five miles away from the Liaoyang city wall. It is high and bombarded with a heavy mortar cannon with a large elevation angle, so that the shells can be directly shot into the Liaoyang city. Any general with common sense of military knowledge knows that the outer defense has been broken, and Liaoyang is firm.

The city is in a desperate situation, and this is the characteristic of the major cities in Liaodong. The complete peripheral defense system is the center of defense of these strong cities, and the tall city walls are just the last stubborn resistance.

The seventh year of Chongzhen, October.

The Taiwan Town Army once again increased its troops in Liaodong. Ten thousand new soldiers walked out of the training camp and boarded armed merchant ships to land on Zhenjiang, which enabled the Taiwan Prefecture's troops under the city of Liaoyang to reach 50,000. The 50,000 troops entered the mountains in a large scale, clearing them while also It quickly occupied various strategic points outside Liaoyang City. Beacon towers were removed, and military forts were turned into ashes in the fire. Half a month later, all strategic points in the east, south and north of Liaoyang were conquered.

The weather turns cooler and the autumn wind is bleak.

The Liaodong war has been fighting for half a year, and from spring to autumn, the results are also huge. Now the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou have been divided into three parts, and the remnants of Daishan are trapped in Hetuala Mountain City, surviving, and one is stored in Liaoyang to defend the dead. The last line of defense, the largest turtle was hiding in Shenyang, confronting Sun Chengzong's army on the east bank of the Liao River. The Ming army of each unit completed the second phase of the task planned by Macheng, basically splitting the enemies of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and could only trap the lonely city. The Eight Banners of Jianzhou, which once dominated Liaodong, rarely left the city to wander. This nation that conquered the world on horseback was finally collaborated by the Ming army of various ministries and was trapped in a strong city.

Longding Mountain has beautiful scenery in the west peaks and sparkling lakes.

The lake and mountains are blended together, the autumn scenery is rich, and the beautiful scenery is completely destroyed by the murderous army of 50,000.

From the mountain, most of the trees on the hillside have been cut down, and the vacant open space is covered with earthen castles, tents, and bunkers made of wood and stone. Only one primeval forest with a radius of more than ten miles is still there. The firearms are the main ones. The Taiwan Town Army is increasingly fighting to the modern style of the army, relying more and more on the protection of bunkers and chest walls.

The war turned the beautiful Liaoyang into a tragic battlefield full of ruins.

This Longding Mountain was not called Longding Mountain in the past, but Breakfast Tun. The Tang general Xue Rengui stationed here during the eastern expedition, which shows the important strategic value of this place. Macheng will fall to the distant Great Wall. Several fires burned inside and outside the Great Wall, thick smoke rose, and my brows couldn't help but frown.

Qiao Yiqi was also startled and said hurriedly: "Go and stop a few people, do you want to set fire to the forest?"

The light cavalry went out of the camp to stop the front-line soldiers from setting fire along the Great Wall. Ma Cheng said helplessly: "Is it necessary to burn such a large forest? Let's leave some miss for future generations."

Qiao Yiqi said respectfully: "What the Grand Marshal said is that it is really unnecessary."

Macheng's vision was retracted. Looking around, the Liaodong Great Wall, which once used to consume countless people's and financial resources, has lost its value with the changes of the times. The cannon's range is getting farther and stronger, and it has become more and more powerful. The low wall of the curved heavy howitzer is of little value in defensive warfare.
