Chapter 378 Yutian Defense Line

Wu Sangui led 150,000 Guanning troops to set off first. In order to save time and catch Sun Chuanting off guard, he did not attack the villages and towns along the way, but just marched quickly. On the contrary, Ajige, who set off a day later, had already led his army to attack the Yutian defense line.

As a pioneer, Ajige also wanted to catch the Ming army off guard. He marched quickly all the way, did not attack the villages and towns along the way, or even the small county town, and went straight to Yutian.

When he hurried to Yutian, he found that the Royal Second Division stationed in Yutian was already ready.

Although Ajige was eager to make the first contribution to the arrival of the capital, he saw that the Royal Second Division was already prepared and failed to attack by surprise, so he could only change to a strong attack.

Ajige did not take the garbage defense line built by the Royal Second Division seriously, but unless necessary, he would not use his elite bannermen to fight a tough battle. The role of the puppet army was to be cannon fodder.

Under his order, Sun Youde's troops took the lead in launching the attack, Geng Zhongming's troops were ready to respond, and Shang Kexi's troops were the last. If the three armies failed to attack, he would personally lead the elite flag soldiers to attack.

Under Sun Youde's order, 2,000 puppet troops shouted and charged towards the Yutian defense line.

Inside the defense line, several artillery officers held telescopes to observe the enemy situation. Behind them, all the gunners were in place. As long as Lu Yiming gave an order, dozens of large and small caliber cannons would roar loudly.

When setting up the artillery position, the area scale had been measured, and the artillery could accurately bombard the targets in the area without shooting.

Nowadays, regular military telescopes have been produced and equipped in large quantities. Company-level officers have one each, and monocular telescopes have been eliminated.

However, Lu Yiming did not order the artillery to fire, but just held the telescope to observe the enemy situation.

The order given to him by the Emperor and General Lan Fang was to hold the Yutian defense line and consume as many Qing troops as possible. He was worried that the artillery firepower was too strong and scared the Qing troops away.

"First row, get ready."

In the trench at the forefront, following the officer's order, the soldiers in the first row aimed their guns at the dense enemies rushing in front.

When they hurried to Yutian, they found that the Royal Second Division stationed in Yutian was already on full alert.

Although Ajige was eager to establish the first merit of the army's arrival in the capital, he saw that the Royal Second Division was already prepared and failed to launch a sneak attack, so he could only change to a strong attack.

Ajige didn't care about the rubbish defense line built by the Royal Second Division, but unless it was necessary, he would not use his elite flag soldiers to fight a tough battle. The role of the puppet army was to be cannon fodder.
