Chapter 196: Fighting for the Moon in Wuchang
Zhou Peigong felt very distressed.
The Ming army's artillery fire was too fierce. Not only was the city tower blown up, but the chassis was also broken a lot.
In this case, Zhou Peigong could only lie on the ground and ask the Bodhisattva for blessing, and the shells should not be blown by his side.
Under the suppression of artillery, the Ming army began a tentative attack.
But it is obvious that the Ming army did not deploy too much troops in Dongcheng, and Zhou Peigong felt that he could still withstand it.
Finally, after a stick of incense, the red cannon that Zhou Peigong had been looking forward to was transported.
Ten doors were shipped at one time!
This is almost half of the number of red-clothed cannons in Wuchang City!
The Governor has invested a lot this time!
Zhou Peigong was overjoyed and quickly ordered: "Break back, fight back hard!"
The Qing soldiers hurriedly used the gap between the Ming army's artillery to aim the muzzle at the opposite Shuangfeng Mountain, and ignited the lead and shot the shells out.
"boom!"
The loud noise from the red-clothed cannon made them tinnitus for a while, and Zhou Peigong was also scared and trembled.
Oh my god, this is too scary.
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you go into the city tower to avoid it."
When the personal soldiers saw Zhou Peigong's appearance, they spoke kindly and suggested.
Zhou Peigong shook his head and said, "No, I want to be with the soldiers. Don't worry about me, fire the fire, and continue to fire the fire!"
In fact, he also wanted to hide in the city tower, but now the city tower has been blown up and there is no difference between hiding inside and outside.
Zhou Peigong was also worried that the beam of the house would hit him to death.
Humph, the abominable Ming thief. You have cannons, and I also have cannons. I want to see whose cannons are more powerful!
...
...
The range of the red-clothed cannon is enough to shoot to the opposite Shuangfeng Mountain.
Although the flexibility of the red cannon is not as good as the Prussian field cannon brought by Zhu Youlang, the power of the red cannon is completely true.
With a fierce bombardment, some riots occurred in the Ming army's positions, and even soldiers were killed.
Although Zhu Youlang knew that the casualties between the two armies were inevitable, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the red-clothed cannon needs to be filled with water and cooled after it sets off.
Therefore, there was a relatively long interval after the ten artillery, and the Ming army could use this time to adjust.
Judging from the shelling effect just now, Zhu Youlang's tactics have completely worked.
But even so, it is still difficult to attack the city if the ant attaches the siege.
Zhu Youlang decided to try to shoot the city gate. Although it is very difficult to accurately hit the city gate, how many more shots will happen if you hit it?
If only his ten thousand people were really an ant attacker, I don’t know how much it would be lost, and Zhu Youlang would not be able to afford it.
Therefore, we still have to rely on Li Dingguo on the front battlefield.
Zhu Youlang just gave Li Dingguo a cover.
When artillery fires, the consumption is all about.
Fortunately, Zhu Youlang's shells are stocked enough, which can be consumed.
...
...
In the south city, the vanguard of the Ming army had crossed the moat and began to set up ladders to prepare for the attack.
They are all experienced veterans who know how to seize the gap and climb and protect themselves as much as possible.
But even so, the danger is still very high.
The Qing army immediately discovered the Ming army's actions and smashed the rolling stones piled up on the city wall down.
"Ming Thief, I'll treat you to a good meal!"
These rolling stones are light and weigh dozens of pounds, and they can't stand it even if they hit the armor.
Not to mention, some stones hit the heads of Ming soldiers.
After the severe pain, some Ming soldiers instantly lost consciousness and fell off the ladder.
The robes looked at it silently and then stepped on the vacant, climbing up the ladder.
Many of them know each other and are brothers who have known each other for many years.
Naturally, the brothers cannot die in vain. They want to use the heads of the Donglu to pay tribute to the dead brothers!
Hatred can best inspire a person's fighting spirit. At this moment, these Ming soldiers only have one thought in their minds, that is, to climb to the city and kill all the Tartars.
The Qing army naturally would not sit still and wait for death. The Qing soldiers poured the boiled oil on one after another. Even if they were covered in armor, they could not bear it and let out a beastly roar.
The Qing army in Wuchang was obviously much more well-trained than the rest of Huguang. Faced with the most elite vanguards of the Ming army, they did not panic at all, but carried out the established steps in an orderly manner.
Li Dingguo watched all this silently, his emotions fluctuated without any fluctuations.
One general succeeds and has thousands of bones blew. No matter how many people die in attacking Wuchang, he will not hesitate.
As long as you win Wuchang, no matter how many people die, it is worth it!
...
...
"Transfer some stones and the wood comes to the city. If it is not enough, demolish the house!"
Hu Quancai rebuked: "Do you still use this supervisor to teach you these?"
As the battle deepened, the rolling stones and woods stored on the city wall were in a hurry.
Hu Quancai obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness and execution ability of the Ming army.
Faced with such a tight defense, the morale of the Ming army was not shaken at all.
This Li Dingguo is indeed a ruthless person.
At first, Hu Quancai thought that Li Dingguo's name was hyped, but now it seems that this guy is still trying to do something.
Hu Quancai turned his head and glanced at him, and saw that the young and strong men were nervously driving mules along the horse path, and the horses carried these guardians to the city to the city.
He was still very satisfied with this.
What the Qing army instilled in the Wuchang people was that the Ming thieves did everything they could do, and they were all a group of monsters who ate raw meat and drank blood.
If the city is broken, the Ming thieves will plunder, burn and kill them at will, so they must cooperate with the Qing soldiers to defend the city for themselves.
These people seem to believe it.
Hu Quancai knew clearly the gap between him and Li Dingguo, so the strategy he formulated from the beginning was to stick to it.
No matter what, he will not send troops to attack. Just defend, just defend.
"Governor, please go and rest first. I'll be watching here, so it won't be a problem."
Wuchang General Liao Fangyong bowed.
Hu Quancai was really tired, so he nodded and said, "The governor went to the city tower to rest for a while, and report it immediately if there is any situation!"
...
...
After a day of fierce battle, the Ming army withdrew its troops, and the Qing soldiers on the city were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"These Ming thieves are so good at fighting. They never stop from morning to night."
"Who said no? The key to these people is not afraid of death. It seems that their lives are not their own."
"I really think I can be a marquis of ten thousand households when I work so hard."
"We are really unlucky. Not to mention fighting with the Ming thief during the day, we can't have a leisure time at night and are assigned to the city wall to guard. Don't the Ming thief sleep at this night?"
"This is not good. What if the thief is going to attack at night? We can't take it lightly."
"Hmph, those military officials were asleep, but I had to guard the world here."
"You are content, it's good to have a good meal in this world."
"I said Lao Wu, did you see that there was no fire over there? Why was there a fire in the air?"
"You've read it wrong, it should be the stars!"
"Maybe I've read it wrong! I've been tired for a day and my eyes are blurred!"
