Chapter Five Hundred and Four See the Recruitment Month
Feng Shuangli did not rush to order the ants to attack the city, but chose to destroy the plum blossom stake outside Hanzhong City first.
This thing was arranged in advance by the Qing army, with the purpose of delaying the offensive of the Ming army.
It is obvious that Li Guoying was prepared for a long time.
Although the plum blossom stake will not play a decisive role in the battle situation, it will be disgusting.
When the Ming army attacked the city, it felt uncomfortable to be constrained everywhere.
Moreover, the efficiency and speed of siege will be greatly affected.
Large siege equipment such as rushing cars and hitting wood will be greatly affected.
Feng Shuangli didn't want to bury a pit for himself, so he chose to deal with these plum blossom stakes as soon as possible.
Moreover, using this time, Feng Shuangli can also order people to dig tunnels to prepare a coffin to bomb the city.
After fighting so many battles with His Majesty the Emperor, Feng Shuangli could watch it even.
But he was not sure if Li Guoying had heard of the tactic of the coffin bombing city, and would have prepared a response in advance.
If not, then Feng Shuangli should be able to easily explode the city gate.
Although the Ming army did not have much food, Feng Shuangli was obviously not in a hurry.
"Prince, the soldiers are ready. You can start digging the tunnels."
Feng Shuangli nodded after hearing this and ordered: "Let's start."
Li Guoying, who was on the top of the city, saw that Mingjun began to dig the tunnel slowly, and he sneered in his heart.
Of course, you are too fucking me. I have used this tactic many times. Although Li Guoying has not experienced it personally, he has heard of it.
As the saying goes, have you never eaten pork and you haven't seen pigs running?
How many times can I use this tactic? Is he thinking about how to eat?
In fact, the Qing army has summarized a complete set of countermeasures to counter the tactics of bombing the city in the coffin.
Specifically, it can be used to flood water and pour back the tunnel, or use artillery to bombard the mounds dug out by the Ming army to seal the entrance of the tunnel, etc.
Li Guoying felt that the latter was more in line with the current situation and more in his appetite.
Compared with the former and the latter, it is more proactive and can solve the crisis in its infancy.
As a major city artillery, Hanzhong is naturally indispensable.
Li Guoying thought to himself that you don’t know how to challenge me. I will blow you up and regret coming to Hanzhong!
"Come on, set off firecrackers, aim at the mound dug out by the Ming thief and bombard me hard. I want to see what this Feng thief will do."
The Qing soldiers were now full of fighting spirit and wanted to defeat the Ming army and chase him, and cut off the heads and received silver rewards.
At the command of Li Guoying, the Qing soldiers began to set off firecrackers.
But as the artillery roared, the mound that the Ming army finally dug out was instantly smashed and smashed.
The most terrifying thing is that the entrance of the cave was buried in an instant by the sand that poured down.
Those Ming soldiers who entered the tunnel were buried alive!
Seeing this, Feng Shuangli felt very uncomfortable holding it in his chest.
In fact, he also expected that the Qing army might use gunfire and just wanted to make a bet.
Now it is proved that he lost the bet.
When attacking other cities, the Ming army also faced a similar situation.
However, at that time, the Ming army could use artillery to counterattack and suppress the firepower of the Qing army at the city.
In this way, both sides will bombard each other, and no one can really punish each other.
As time goes by, the Ming army's tunnel is dug. Once the coffin is put on a little lead, it can blow up the city wall, and it is over.
But now Feng Shuangli does not have artillery in his hand.
There are quite a few in Chengdu city, but they are all heavy artillery that are not easy to use, like the light artillery that can be used for field battles in His Majesty the Emperor.
Feng Shuangli was in a hurry again, and it was impossible for him to carry such heavy artillery.
And even if he moved, he would probably have to give up when walking on that mountain road.
After all, he even ordered most of the food to be buried on the spot, let alone heavy artillery. Putting aside these things, the combat preparations of both sides are not at the same level.
Feng Shuangli only ordered people to make some simple siege equipment. Even the bumping wood used on the rushing car had just been cut down, and there were green leaves on it.
The Qing army was well prepared? Even the plum blossom stakes were ready in advance, obviously waiting for the Ming army to attack.
Compared with this mentality, Mingjun is obviously the disadvantaged side.
But Feng Shuangli seemed to be completely unaware of this? She fell into the trap of eagerness to fight.
This is what the Qing army most hopes to see.
Seeing that the tactics of damaging the city by coffin were mostly unfulfilled, Feng Shuangli ordered a full-scale siege.
At this time, the plum blossom stake had almost been removed, and there was no problem with the Ming army rushing.
However, the previous artillery bombardment more or less affected the mentality of the Ming army soldiers.
When charging, the determination seems less than enough.
This is a terrible thing on the battlefield.
The more hesitated, the more likely it is to have problems? The Qing army's artillery fire was still sharp, and the shells hit the crowd? Dozens of people were killed and injured in an instant.
The Qing army's artillery was a miracle that was powerful? It relied entirely on its size advantage and impact force.
However, under the Ming army's desperate and barbaric charge, the Qing army's bombardment seemed very useful.
Even Li Guoying didn't expect the bombardment to be so good. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and he felt very proud.
Now it seems that he was really careless in the battle in Chengdu.
As long as he is a little cautious, the situation will be completely different.
Although the Qing army is the defender of the city, it has taken the initiative.
The Ming army continued to charge like this? Even if they rushed under the city wall, the losses would be heavy. Li Guoying could certainly accept this result.
"Don't stop firing the artillery, and I will rush hard with my governor."
These cannons are placed on the city walls all day long to eat dust, and now they finally have value.
Li Guoying is unforgivable and has a strong personality, and now he has to expand his advantages.
Feng Shuangli saw it and was anxious in his heart.
The Ming army launched a death charge.
Judging from the current situation, it is quite difficult to win Hanzhong City.
But at this critical moment, if Feng Shuangli ordered a retreat, his morale would likely collapse directly.
No matter what, Feng Shuangli cannot issue this order.
This breath must be bitten.
All of this Ming army were veterans of the Xiying camp? Naturally, they obeyed Feng Shuangli.
If Feng Shuangli does not order the withdrawal of troops, they will not take a step back.
Although soldiers were killed by bombing from time to time, they still rushed under the city wall without hesitation.
One person is nothing, but ten people, hundreds of people, thousands of people are connected together? It gives people a feeling of tragic and decisiveness.
Some of them are destined to be unable to see the sun tomorrow? But the military orders are like mountains. As soldiers, they must execute orders.
"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"Roar into the city and kill the old thief Li Guoying!"
The Ming soldiers shouted loudly to boost their courage, but the roars in front of the Qing army's artillery fire seemed so pale and powerless.
