Chapter 277 I cheer for the general with drums!
A fire dragon suddenly ignited in front of the Qing army, accompanied by the sound of explosions, and the scene was very tragic.
All the Qing army green camp soldiers who charged were stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a scene before and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Even the military law team behind them did not urge them anymore.
Luke Dehun in the distance obviously noticed this.
He clenched his fists, and his joints made a crisp and creaking sound.
Shi Tingzhu frowned and said nothing.
When did the Ming army become so kind? It was so brave that it was not afraid of death and did not hesitate to set fire to stop the Qing army's advancement.
"Master Beile, I think the fire will not last too long. When the fire is smaller, you can ask the army to fill the trench."
Lukehun let out a long sigh, nodded and said, "Well, wait a moment."
Although this trench between the two prisms is not very long, it can still accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
When attacking this section of trenches, the Qing army, especially the Green Camp soldiers, paid a considerable price. Lukedehn did not want to attack other trenches and do it again.
So he decided to wait.
There will always be a day when the tung oil is burned out, and it is only a matter of time before the Qing army breaks through this defense line.
...
...
After about two hours, the fire finally became much smaller.
The Qing army opened the road from the Green Camp Army, first filled the trenches, and then advanced in large quantities.
But when their vanguard army crossed the trench, they found that there was a trench about the same width in front of them, and a chest wall was also built before.
It is obvious that the trench cannot be dug out temporarily, and the chest wall cannot be built temporarily.
In other words, these are all thought by Ming Jun from the beginning!
Everyone felt a sense of despair.
They really didn't want to repeat the attack, but the military orders were Rushan and they had to bite the bullet.
The conch number remembered again, like a death note.
The Green Camp soldier held a shield in one hand and held a tiger-toothed knife in the other hand. He bent his body into a shrimp-shaped shape and ran forward with his head in silence.
What responded to them was a series of "nibangs".
This thing seemed to have the anger of Ming soldiers, and the power of the explosion seemed to increase a little.
Every time you push forward further, you will have to pay a heavy price.
Of course, the Green Camp soldiers also had experience, and they chose to move forward in a zigzag shape instead of the straight line before.
This reduces the power of ten thousand enemies.
When the Green Camp soldiers rushed to the chest wall, the Ming army did not set fire, but chose to fight hand-to-hand.
Ming soldiers jumped out and held their waist knives and slashed with the Green Camp soldiers.
Their numbers are at a disadvantage, but their terrain is dominant. Therefore, they can still persist for a long time.
Hand-to-hand combat is cruel.
A Ming soldier and the Green Camp soldier both fought off their weapons and rolled to the ground to fight together, using fists, feet, teeth, and everything they could use.
The Ming soldiers bit the neck of the Green Camp soldiers hard and tore off a piece of bloody flesh.
The Green Camp soldier fainted in pain.
There were screams and tears everywhere, like the Shura hell.
...
...
Although the Qing army eventually broke through the blockade of the trench, Luke Dehun's face looked very bad.
The Green Camp soldiers lost more than 40% of their troops in this period, which was a heavy loss.
This was just breaking through the trench. What would have happened if he had insisted on attacking the fortress? Lukedehn could not imagine it.
But no matter what, the Qing army came to Linqing City.
Luke Dehun followed Shi Tingzhu's advice and gave up attacking the outer fortress, but decided to concentrate superior forces to attack Linqing City.
Although there were no red cannons, there were still several small cannons in the Lukedehun army.
He ordered people to push the cannon and fired a few cannons at the head of Linqing city as a demonstration.
These few cannons naturally could not cause any damage to the Linqing city, but it was an unquestionable provocation.
He soon received a response from Ming Jun.
Several Folang machine cannons fired at the same time, killing the Qing army in front of the formation.
Lukedehn was furious and ordered the siege equipment to be pushed to the city to prepare for siege.
Because there is no such powerful weapon as a red cannon, Luke Dehun is still very concerned when building siege equipment such as ladders, rushing cars, trenchers, etc.
But it is not easy to transport these large siege equipment through even the trenches that are filled.
After Lukedehn gave the order, there were only two or three ladders, and the rushing car was pushed towards the top of the city by the Green Camp Army.
Although the Green Camp suffered heavy losses, Luke Dehun chose to let them go first.
After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army are second only to the Eight Banners of the Manchus, and they cannot be easily used until the last moment.
Fight, fight, as long as you can take down Linqing, all these green camp soldiers will die. Luke Dehun will not feel any pain at all.
...
...
"Your Majesty, the city is dangerous. Please move your Majesty to the palace."
Seeing that Zhu Cilang was about to go to the top of the city, Gao Jie quickly dissuaded.
Now the Qing army has broken through the bastion, and the first line of defense in the trenches is Linqing City.
How can there be a reason to let the emperor come to the front line?
Zhu Cilang waved his hand and said, "I have decided to climb up to the top of the city and cheer for the soldiers. Gao Qing will not persuade me anymore."
"This... I obey the order."
Gao Jie reluctantly held his fists to take the order.
Although Linqing City is tall and strong, there is little possibility of being injured by a runaway lead bullet when standing on the top of the city, there is still such a possibility after all.
If there is really something wrong with Tianzi, wouldn’t he become the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty?
You should know that when the son is just sixteen years old and has not yet been appointed as a queen, he has no heirs. If there is a real accident, who should inherit the throne?
I am afraid that the kings of various vassals will fight for the bloody battle?
Gao Jie shook his head violently and spat in his heart.
Why can't he hope for something good? Your Majesty is the emperor. With God's blessing, there will definitely be no surprises.
Zhu Cilang climbed to the head of Linqing City through the horse road surrounded by a group of personal guards.
Gao Jie and his personal soldiers followed behind.
Zhu Cilang stood at the top of the city and looked down at the dark heads, and couldn't help but sigh: "These green camp soldiers were originally officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but once they were taken as enemies, they made mistakes step by step."
Gao Jie clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, these two Tartars are more hateful than real enemies. They are said to be of my race, and their hearts must be different. They are obviously Han people, but they have to lick the Tartars' butts. It's really embarrassing to the Han people!"
Zhu Cixuan took a deep breath and said, "Gao Qing, prepare to fire the fire!"
It turned out that Zhu Cilang brought several twelve-pound cannons when he came to Linqingzhou in person.
This new Flang machine is no worse than the Red Cannon, but it has a faster firing rate and is easier to load.
Zhu Cilang has been suppressing Gao Jie from using it well, just to wait for this moment.
Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this. He had heard that the Folang machine cannon was extremely powerful, so today he used these Green Camp II Tartars to test the cannons!
