Chapter 296: Siege - Artillery Battle 2
As the artillery battle progressed, the shells of both sides came and went, and the fighting was very happy, and Feng Wuyu had to retreat the soldiers of the Second Field Brigade who were standing in front to warn the enemy from going out of the city to harass and build siege fortifications to five miles away from the city of Raozhou, leaving only the cavalry to guard around.
The people, militia, engineers, and baggage soldiers remained three miles away to dig trenches and arrange fortifications.
The casualties of the Huaxia army are rising, but within the controllable range, mainly the casualties of the Huaxia army who built the fortifications, the artillery battle fought all morning, and the casualties were nearly 100 people, but the fortifications have been built, and the entire front of the city gate has been surrounded by a radius of three miles, and the fortifications on all sides are approaching in minutes.
On the other hand, the Qing army has lost half of the cannons, and the remaining cannons are also fired every ten minutes or so, and the entire city wall battlements near the city gate have been blown up like dogs have gnawed, and the rubble is flying, incomplete, and mixed with the corpse fragments of some Qing soldiers, and the city gate tower has collapsed most of the time, and the casualties are definitely not small.
There is no longer a shadow of the activities of the Qing army on the city wall.
After the pressure was reduced, Zhang Qiang came over to inspect it, and then pulled the eighteen-pounder cannon over to bombard the enemy, the eighteen-pounder cannon was placed near the Tunpu five miles away, protected by the soldiers of the Tunpu, two gates, and eight eighteen-pounder cannons made the Qing army miserable and happy.
Later, after replacing the overused twelve-pounder cannon, five twelve-pounder cannons were added at each city gate, and the city wall and gate tower of the Qing army's Raozhou Mansion and the houses behind the city wall were also unlucky.
The Qing army was no longer interested in going out of the city to harass the Huaxia army.
Zhang Qiang simply transferred the engineers and baggage soldiers of the First Field Brigade, the 3,000 militiamen left by Du Ge, and even the prisoners of the Qing army's green battalion who were left behind and could not be transported.
In the afternoon, when the sun was slightly tilted, the trenches were successfully closed, and Feng Wuyu, who was responsible for supervising the battle, suddenly thought about it, and directly pushed these people to 600 meters away from the city wall and began to dig horse traps, even if the Qing army knew that they did this, they could not send troops, and the city gates were blocked with sandbags and boulders.
The Qing army in Raozhou Mansion was beaten so embarrassed, Zhang Qiang was not only happy but also happy, but there were two Manchu princes in Beile, who were trapped in it, and that was the apprentice grandchildren of the old slave Nurhachi, if these two guys could be caught, plus the captured Heluohui, then the Manchu Qing's foundation in the Ming Dynasty would be shaken.
That Dolgon or something, it is estimated that he is also dying, and by then, the Manchus still don't know what the chaos will become.
Over the past six years, Zhang Qiang has accumulated strength in a down-to-earth manner, relying on the help of the system, step by step to get to where he is today.
Successively engaged in the Lu Jian Guoming Army, the Longwu Ming Army, fought against Zheng Zhilong's forces, stepped on their flesh and blood and heartache to ascend to the top, and finally crossed over from a little person who had nothing and was worried about dying in this troubled era all day long, and became a big man who stomped his feet and shook the southeast world, and became a hero, a big governor.
Maybe he will be able to win the throne in the future.
"Governor of the capital, General Hu Kui sent someone to report that the Raozhou Mansion has basically fallen into our grasp, and the large and small counties have fallen into the wind, but his troops are not enough to garrison everywhere, ask us how to deal with it?" The captain of the guard, Bagyalu, asked.
"There is no need to garrison everywhere, let him focus his main energy on the direction of Fujian and Ganzhou Mansion, heavily stationed in several key county towns and important intersections, passes, and give up some places that cannot be defended, and send a very small number of scout cavalry to and fro, and the enemy's large army will report in time," Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang said to Bagyalu: "Go and send someone to contact the nearest military intelligence office, ask them what information Guangxin Mansion and Tingzhou Mansion have, and bring them to me, before going to bed tonight, I want to see the information." ”
After speaking, Zhang Qiang thought about it, his own strength was not enough to defend in three directions, Xiao Fei took the third field brigade in Jinhua Mansion, where there are many garrison troops, and should be able to resist the surprise attack of the Qing army, otherwise there are the 17th Field Brigade and the 16th Field Brigade that can be reinforced, as well as the second brigade of the Guards Brigade in Xianju County, in his own direction, the strength is still small.
Du Ge's militia troops have been pulled back a lot, and the rest are scattered in various counties, as well as near Raozhou Mansion, and when Du Ge pulls over tens of thousands of militiamen and supplementary soldiers, it will take two or three days, and it may take another four or five days, if the Qing army has already received the news at this time, and the starry night has rushed to rescue these two important figures of the Qing army, their own troops will be a little stretched.
Recently, the only troops that can be mobilized are Liu Liangzuo's 7th Field Brigade and Ma Sanli's 6th Field Brigade in Quzhou Prefecture.
It's still a bit insufficient.
By the way, where does He Jin still have three field brigades, transfer one and transfer the 9th field brigade.
Thinking of this, he said to Baghyalu: "Send a messenger out, expedite eight hundred miles, transfer Ma Sanli's 6th Field Brigade to take over Quzhou Mansion, transfer Liu Liangzuo's 7th Field Brigade to Raozhou Mansion, and transfer He Jin's 9th Field Brigade to Raozhou Mansion and make peace with us." ”
"Yes, Grand Duke." After listening to this, Baghyalu was leaving.
"Wait, let Mi Lin contact him, Tian Bin, see what Hong Chengchou is doing in Jinling, the Qing army from Jinling has been defeated and retreated, I think Hong Chengchou must have gotten the news at this time, it is an old fox, I have to guard against it, and send the information from Jinling as well."
"Yes, Grand Duke." After Bagyalu is gone.
Zhang Qiang looked at the Raozhou Mansion in the distance, and deduced the war with the Qing army in his heart.
Feng Wuyu ran over, "Dadudu, it's so boring to fight around like this, it's better to transfer more eighteen-pounder cannons over and give him a beat, you see, we have advanced to a mile away from the enemy's city wall, if we don't give them a ruthless blow, if they still have any ideas, then we will lose more than we gain, and we are very aggrieved." ”
"No, there is one more thing, there is a guard brigade to watch, don't worry, you take the main force of the second brigade of the field brigade to the north, take over the northern defense line, and at the same time pay attention to the direction of Nanchang, the movement of the Qing army on the opposite side of the Yangtze River. Don't let them cross the river to attack us, now Raozhou Mansion is the territory of the enemy army on three sides, and the Longwu Ming army has been suppressed very much, although there is our support, but they have third-rate soldiers, but they use fifth- or sixth-rate generals to command the battle, and there are some civilian officials who like to tear down their own steps, so we must be careful, don't win the first half, but lose in the second half. ”
Zhang Qiang said to Feng Wuyu very solemnly.
"Okay, I'll go."
In the distance, the artillery battle is still going on, the enemy artillery on the head of the city is estimated to have been completely annihilated, the artillery in other directions is still there, there is no fire at all, it is impossible to compete with the artillery of the Huaxia army, if the Huaxia army wants, only need to add a few more cannons, the enemy can only open the city and surrender, of course, this thing is impossible, those barbarians on all sides of China are some brainless goods, and they will definitely not be like civilized Huaxia, I feel that I can't fight and surrender, it's a big deal to put it in, and it will take hundreds of years, Flood him with his own population and culture.
Let them also become civilized and weak.
In fact, Zhang Qiang felt that the Chinese nation was particularly sad, backward but had to hold on, learn from the black people in Africa, drown the enemy with the population, and call it a beautiful name, cultural assimilation, and ethnic integration.
Sad, sad.
