Chapter 65 The Siege Begins
The next day, above Chang'an City.
Yang Yifei stood quietly above the clouds, overlooking the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties. His sight was mainly concentrated on the palace complex in the north of the central axis of Chang'an City.
That is the "Tai Chi Palace", one of the three major palaces in Chang'an Palace City, and the other two palace groups are the "Da Ming Palace" and the "Xingqing Palace".
This Tai Chi Palace is now the palace of the Mongolian Khan, but Yang Yifei knew that this place would soon belong to him because he planned to establish the capital of the new dynasty here, which means that he would restore the Chinese nation's Han and Tang dynasties' magnificence.
Before the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Chang'an has always been the most prosperous city in the world. The city covers an area of more than 60,000 square kilometers, six times that of the later Xi'an city.
However, since the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, northern ethnic minorities continued to invade and the Han people moved south on a large scale, and Chang'an became increasingly declining.
But in fact, this city is an excellent capital building location. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The large granary in the Central Plain is located inside and the Huzhu outside. It is the most suitable place for Hangu as the capital.
To establish a peaceful and prosperous era, we start by conquering Chang'an.
Yang Yifei turned his gaze further north, and saw groups of people wearing Tartar costumes gathering from all over the city to the north gate.
After all, he dared not ignore Yang Yifei's ultimatum. The Mongolian people were ordered to temporarily move out of Chang'an and go north to Tongguan County to temporarily live, but the 16,000 troops stationed in Chang'an did not move.
If they have never done a game and just leave in shame when they see the notices sent by the other party, then they don’t need to consider the issue of competing for the world, just roll them back to the grassland!
Seeing the Mongolian people leaving, Yang Yifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he had no scruples. All those left were soldiers. As a soldier, it was natural to die on the battlefield, and he would not be lenient when he killed him.
After confirming the movement of the Tartars, Yang Yifei returned to Tianzi Valley and waited for the arrival of three days.
In the past three days, not only did he evacuate the people, but also sent a large number of spies to search for the enemy's traces south of Chang'an.
However, Yang Yifei's troops were too small and the base was hidden. How could it be found in just three days?
Three days later, at the early morning of the morning, the teaching team had a full meal, then packed up all the equipment, pulled out the camp and set off. Before departure, Yang Yifei distributed ammunition.
The teaching team is divided into four parts, one of which is a heavy machine gun squad, equipped with 4 heavy machine guns, 12,000 bullets, and 3,000 rounds per bush.
A mortar team is equipped with 4 mortars, with a box of shells each, totaling 144 rounds.
A sniper team is equipped with 8 anti-equipment sniper rifles, with 20 bursting rounds per person, a total of 160 rounds, and 80 regular solid rounds, a total of 640 rounds.
The remaining three squads are ordinary infantry squads, each carrying 300 rifle bullets, 80 pistol bullets, 3 offensive grenades, and 2 defensive grenades.
In addition to basic equipment, Zhang Yong and Tian Peng also carried a rocket launcher, while Liu Yuxuan existed as the commander of the artillery.
The three of them are ready to conduct air fire strikes with Yang Yifei and Li Mochou at any time, while Qiu Chuji serves as the commander-in-chief of the teaching team.
Taking advantage of the night, the group marched along the official road and moved to a location about 1,200 meters away from the south wall of Chang'an City when it was dawn.
This is a small forest, with trees not high, with an average height of about two meters. Yang Yifei found a flat place, put out 10 high platforms, and stood side by side.
Each high platform is equivalent to a watchtower with a thatched hut on the top, which prevents rain during combat. The tower has two square areas and is equipped with shooting support. In addition to 8 snipers, four heavy machine guns can also be mounted.
After preparing for the battle, Yang Yifei ordered a rest for half an hour and then replenish some dry food and drinking water. At this time, everyone's carrying equipment was taken back by Yang Yifei. The dry food in their carry-on bags were some bread, compressed biscuits, ham sausages and the like.
The rising sun gradually rose and the vision became clear. Yang Yifei and Qiu Chuji stood on a high platform, each holding a telescope to observe the south wall of Chang'an.
At this time, the city wall was covered with Tartar soldiers, and there were crossbow arrows as thick as thumbs in the gaps of the female wall. They were crossbow arrows of the bed, but there was no Hui Hui cannon.
Qiu Chuji put down his telescope and said, "The Huihui cannon is usually set up behind the city wall, and it is not usually set up on the city wall. If you want to destroy the other party's cannon position, we need to know the specific coordinates."
Yang Yifei nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
After saying that, he took off his sword and rushed into the sky. After a while, he returned. He called Liu Yuxuan and told him the coordinates of the location where the Tartars cannon was set up. Then he ordered him to lead the artillery team to find a place without any concealment on his head to set up a cannon position.
Liu Yuxuan took the order and held an intercom in his hand. After a while, when the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, Yang Yifei whistled: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
As soon as he heard this rapid whistle, the sniper and the heavy machine gunner rose up and immediately entered their own combat position.
Yin Zhiping set up his own sniper rifle. He is the captain of the temporary sniper team and one of the eight snipers.
Yang Yifei ordered: "Sniper, the crossbow on the target female wall, try to hit the position of the bow arm, and kill them for me, pay attention to coordinate the shooting targets, and try not to attack the same target with a few guns."
Hearing Yang Yifei's order, Yin Zhiping ordered: "Take the first bed crossbow within the visible range of the east as the target No. 1, shoot west in turn, and each person calculates his own target and fires freely."
"yes."
The other snipers responded together, and Yin Zhiping's order was easy to understand. For example, if he is the No. 1 sniper, then his shooting targets will be No. 1, No. 9, and No. 17 to push them down.
Every time you add 8 to your shooting target number, it is your own target, which can avoid wasting firepower to the greatest extent.
This observation deck is 5 to 6 meters higher than the walls of Chang'an City. Even though the height advantage is reduced a little due to distance factors, it is still in a condescending state.
Through the sniper lens, they could clearly see the scene behind the female wall, so whether the crossbow was successfully destroyed was a clear sign of the sniper.
After all, the crossbow is made of wood, which is incomparable to the armored equipment of later generations. It is easy to destroy, provided that the accuracy is guaranteed.
Yin Zhiping used the data displayed in the sniper lens and quickly calculated the ballistic trajectory in his heart, muttering: "Distance 1,236 meters, wind speed 7.4 miles every half hour, wind direction, southeast wind..."
With the calculation of the data, the crosshairs slowly moved slightly and began to deviate from the target position. Long-range snipers over 1,000 meters, except for a very few sniper rifles, basically aiming at the target position and firing, and rarely hitting the target.
After five months of study, Quanzhen's disciples naturally understood the concept of "rice", 1 meter is three feet and three inches, so they know how to change it after saying that.
The sniper scopes are all displayed in English, the unit of wind speed is miles (mi) and the unit of time is hours (h). There is no need to explain it in detail to them. Anyway, the key to ballistic calculation is to calculate the point that the crosshairs should aim at through those values. As for the unit, it is not important at all.
So Yang Yifei only needs to tell them that mi represents the number of miles, h represents half an hour, and m represents rice.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
The dull gunshots of the anti-equipment sniper rifle kept ringing one after another, indicating that Yang Yifei's battle of domination over the world officially began.
