Chapter 103 You have a cannon, I have magic (3)
Boom! Boom!
One by one, the cannons hit the west wall of Songshan City directly.
As for the west wall of Songshan City and the Xuanfu soldiers, due to the firepower gap, they were beaten to the point of being unable to raise their heads.
If this continues, the west city wall will collapse.
At this time, the governor, Hong Chengchou, had already reached the bottom of the western city wall. He did not climb up the city wall to prevent him from being hit by the shells. "The artillery fire of the Qing army is very fierce now. Depending on this situation, how long can you hold on?"
"It depends on the strength of the city wall. But Songshan City is not a strong city like Jinzhou, and it cannot be defended for too long. In this case, we can only send troops out first, rush to the Qing army camp, and fight against the enemy in the field." Yang Guozhu has been the general of Xuanfu for so many years, fought for so many years, and has extremely experienced combat experience, so he quickly made such a decision.
However, this is actually a helpless decision.
Field battle!
hehe.
There are really troops that can completely destroy the Qing army in field battles, that is, the Qi family army.
Yao remembers that when the bloody battle in Hunhe, Nurhaci led a large army to siege Chenyang. The Ming Dynasty defender He Shixian and You Shizhong were angry and went out of the city to fight with the enemy. They both died in the middle of the straits. Tens of thousands of Mongolian hungry people in the city cut off the pass and fell into the bridge to respond to the Later Jin army. Chenyang, which was known as the impregnable, was captured in one day, and 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty Sichuan Army and Zhejiang Qi Family Army, who had no rest at all, had just arrived at the south bank of Hunhe River and found their teammates He Shixian and You Shizhong. They fell into a strong city like Chenyang in one day, which made them fall into a desperate situation of being unable to advance or retreat.
At the military meeting, Chen Ce and Tong Zhongkui, two generals, finally took the initiative to attack while the enemy was strong and we were weak, and deployed to attack instead of defense, and fight for the bloody battle. The team of less than 10,000 people was divided into two parts and launched a suicide attack on the powerful Later Jin army. Qi Jin, the chief general of the Qi family army, commanded the Qi family army, who was good at firearms, quickly set up a famous car formation on the south bank of the Hun River. The young Sichuan general Zhou Dunji and Qin Minping led more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers to cross the river from the Hun River floating bridge, and lined up the formation to rush towards the Eight Banners Army on the north bank.
The Qing army also knew that the Qi family army and the Sichuan army were the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty, so they suppressed tens of thousands of people and attacked this army with less than ten thousand people.
What happened? In the case of a bloody battle between the two sides, the Qing army with tens of thousands of people could only tie the Sichuan army with less than 10,000 people, tired and trapped, and the Sichuan army.
In the end, the surrendered general Li Yongfang of Fushun commanded the cannon from the head of Chenyang City to completely cover the entire Sichuan army's position. The Later Jin army rushed forward and finally defeated the brave Sichuan army. Most of Zhou Dunji, Qin Minping and others died in battle. Only a few people rushed across the floating bridge and returned to the camp on the south bank of the Hunhe River of the Qi family army.
In the end, only one of the Qi family troops was supporting, and there were only a few thousand people.
But even so, the Qi family army has been fighting bloody battles.
In the end, the entire Qing army lost nearly 10,000 people to destroy thousands of Qi's army.
Whether it is the record of the Ming Dynasty or the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Qing Dynasty, everyone praised the bravery of the Hunhe bloody battle between the Zhongchuan and Zhejiang Legion, calling this battle "a fierce and energetic" and "they were strong at the time", "the first bloody battle since the Liao Zuo used troops."
Only a few Qi family troops who broke through early and left behind in Liaoyang survived. The Ming court sent personnel to comfort the soldiers and promised a heavy reward. These soldiers actually refused in tears, not asking for rewards, but only wanted to go to the battlefield again, vowing to avenge the fallen soldiers of Qi Jin and others. The court officials and the people all sincerely praised that these ordinary soldiers actually had the style of national soldiers!
Ten days later, all of these soldiers were killed in the Battle of Liaoyang.
In that era, the strongest army was not the Qing army at all, but the Qi family army, and could face the Qing army several times.
However, the pig teammates were so pig that they ruined all such an army.
And the remaining Ming army, the Guanning Iron Cavalry who had been praised in history, are all slag troops and cannot be defeated!
If the army of this era is divided.
The Qi family army is considered a first-class army, the Qing army is considered a second-class army, the Ming army's border army is considered a third-class army, and the other armies of the Ming army are considered a fourth-class army, and the army of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can be considered a fourth-class army.
As for ordinary Ming army, if they want to go out of the city to fight with the Qing army, it is really unlikely that they can fight.
However, Yang Guozhu has no choice now. Even if he loses some of his troops, he will still hold back the Qing army's artillery attack, otherwise the entire Songshan City will be over.
At this time, He Xuan was still obsessed with thoughts, as if he had some inspiration, but he couldn't get it in a short period of time.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed.
These cannons were placed six hundred steps away and bombarded the city.
The average archer's bow and arrow range is 100 steps.
His strength is five or two times that of an ordinary archer. He also has a four-stone strong bow, which can perfectly exert his strength. Therefore, the limit of his bow and arrow should be about 520 meters. Of course, since he is standing on a six-meter-high city wall, the range where he can shoot archers should exceed 500 meters, reaching 600 to 700 meters.
He could completely shoot the Qing army's gunners.
A position like a gunner requires a long period of training and cannot be easily created.
A qualified gunner can hit the position where he wants to hit the target.
But an unqualified gunner cannot hit the place where he wants to hit it.
Fighting cannons is not easy.
In the 20th century, those gunners needed to go to special military schools to study artillery.
If all these gunners could be hunted down, then... it would be difficult for the Qing army to transfer qualified gunners in a short period of time. In this way, wouldn't the Qing army's artillery be alleviated?
You have cannons, I have magical powers!
At this time, Zhengxian heard Yang Guozhu say that he would send some Ming troops out to die, and He Xuan immediately stopped him: "Wait, don't be like this. I have a way."
Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu were also quite surprised: "Do you have a way?"
"The Qing army had thirty cannons, bombarding the west city wall. Then, I will shoot their gunners."
"These gunners and their cannons are all six hundred steps away. Can you shoot?" Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu were both extremely surprised. What a joke, six hundred steps! A normal shooter effectively kills 100 steps. The last time He Xuan sniped the Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty, Jier Harang, was only more than one hundred steps. Everyone can understand. Now he suddenly said that he can shoot gunners who are six hundred steps away. What the hell is this?
Is this really still a human?
If a person says he can shoot an enemy six hundred steps away?
Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu now have only one feeling that the mindset they developed in the past few decades, and the past few decades of fighting on the battlefield was about to collapse.
"It should be possible." He Xuan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, then we'll wait and see General He's magical skills." Hong Chengchou said with some difficulty.
"If this can be done, I can only say that He Shen General, I have completely convinced." Yang Guozhu also said in shock.
Shoot the enemy six hundred steps away! What is this concept!
A normal person can’t see anything six hundred steps away!
How far is this!
