Chapter 454 is invincible
"When is the cabinet preparing to attack the city?" \u000b"Although the Jeonju city wall has been successfully destroyed before, it is still necessary to make some preparations if you want to attack it. \u000b Wang Yan pointed to the moat with a horsewhip: "This moat is connected with the Jinjiang River, it is very wide, and it takes time and effort to fill it up. ”
According to the specifications, the city wall of Quanzhou is about three zhang, but some places are destroyed, the wall, the enemy platform are demolished, Zheng's big ship sailed into the moat, the ship has the height of the city, the soldiers set up ladders from the boat to attack the city, it is indeed much easier than filling the river and climbing the ladder.
"Quanzhou is a good port, and ships at sea can enter the moat from the Jinjiang River and enter the city directly from the water gate. The method that the cabinet thinks of is agreeable to the lowly position, but the defensive equipment in the city must be found out first. ”
Wang Yan understood what Zheng Chenggong meant, if there were many artillery pieces in the city, the warship would become the target of the Qing army when it sailed into the moat, and the wooden ship would not be as good as the masonry city to resist beating, "It is precisely because of this that the pavilion let Liu Shun test first, and the successful warship should also be prepared, and the side facing the city wall should be coated with thin mud to prevent the Qing army's rockets from burning the ship." ”
"Rest assured by the cabinet~" Zheng Chenggong arched his hand, and the group had already returned to the front of the camp, and when they parted, he said again: "Cabinet, Chenggong still has one thing to discuss with the cabinet." ”
Wang Yan smiled: "But the distribution of materials? ”
"Yes, I think that this matter needs to be set first, so as to avoid a gap between the officers and soldiers of the two armies."
"Before, this cabinet and Chenggong agreed on seventy-three, but this time we successfully sent people out of the ship, and we paid a lot. Why don't we have a gamble? Wang Yan looked at Zheng Chenggong and said: "This time, if the people of this pavilion break the city first, then keep the seven three unchanged, if the successful command of the son Lang breaks through Quanzhou first, then five or five open, how do you feel about success?" ”
Wang Yan's troops under the city of Quanzhou are more than twice that of Zheng Chenggong, and the chance of breaking the city first must be greater, but Zheng Chenggong gladly responded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "\u000b The next day, in the camp of the Ming army, the drums beat loudly, and hundreds of huge leather drums were beaten at the same time, the drums were earth-shattering, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city were frightened.
The morale of Chungmu Town was also mobilized, and 3,000 soldiers lined up neatly and pedaled on more than 30 lucky boats, each with two ladders made overnight.
This kind of ladder is directly made of five zhang high bamboo poles, sawed into about four zhang long, twenty for a row, first with a rope trapped, and then fixed with a big iron nail, there is a barb at one end, as long as it falls down horizontally, hangs on the city wall, can be between the lucky boat and the city wall, line into a flat path.
At this time, as the Ming soldiers pedaled the boat, the artillery of the Ming army began to "roar", the green smoke was filled, the bricks and stones were splashed, and the Qing army at the head of the city was holding its head and running around.
Wang Yan's four Hongyi cannons showed his power at this time, and when the cannon went down, the wall was suddenly smashed, but compared with it, the southern city of Quanzhou, which was bombarded by Zheng's sailors, was undoubtedly even more tragic, and Zheng's gunboats fired in unison, especially the three-masted warship with two decks, and thirty guns on the side fired at once, which almost turned the city into purgatory.
At this time, thirty warships had sailed into the moat, and the artillery, bows and arrows of the Qing army in the city began to fire with the ship's artillery and birds, and the cannonballs hit the mast, and the mast was suddenly broken. ”
Amid the rumbling drums of war, the Ming army launched its first attack, and 3,000 soldiers of Zhongwu Town, led by the main general Liu Shun, attacked the western city of Quanzhou. \u000bThe Ming military drum sounded like thunder, shouting that the killing shook the sky, the ladder fell from the ship, one end was hung on the city wall with a barb, and the other end was immediately fixed on the boat with an iron nail, and the Qing general Lian Biao, who guarded the western city, saw this and hurriedly let the Qing army remove the ladder, but it was hung by the barb, and there was no way for a while.
"Put rockets~" The Ming army kicked the city from the boat, this situation, the Qing army had never encountered it at all, the prepared thunder stone rolling wood, basically useless, can only shoot arrows frantically, release guns, rockets like raindrops, overwhelmingly shot at the Ming army from the ladder, and clanked on the battleship, but the ship was smeared with mud, the sails were collected, and the role of the rocket was not great.
But the Qing soldiers also found a way to deal with the Ming army, several people worked together to lift the 300 catties of Franc machine cannon, replaced it with a solid bullet, and fired a cannon at the Ming army on the ladder, a dozen is a string, the Ming soldiers had nowhere to dodge on the ladder, and were smashed by the cannonballs, and the arrows on both sides were shot like a torrential rain, and the Ming soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they fell from the ladder with screams, and fell into the moat, and the blood stained the river red.
One group of soldiers was killed and wounded, and the other team quickly attacked, and the battle began to rage. \u000bWang Yan looked intently at the defense of the Qing soldiers, these Qing soldiers who had been in battle for a long time were indeed very sharp in dealing with them on the spot. \u000b "Guogong, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, do you want them to withdraw?" Several generals couldn't help but plead.
Wang Yan squinted his eyes and shook his head, "It's not right now, continue to beat the drum and urge the battle, this pavilion wants to see what other means the Qing soldiers have.!" "\u000b The war drums of the Ming army did not stop, Liu Shun saw that the soldiers rushed several times, although some people stepped on the city wall, but they were soon driven down again, he was in a hurry, drew a long knife, and personally charged forward, in the rain of arrows of the Qing army, the Ming soldiers attacked the city again, the artillery on the city kept firing, and the city wailed and screamed.
'When! While! While! At this moment, the war drums in the Ming camp stopped, Wang Yan gave the order to withdraw the army, the sound of Ming Jin spread, and all the Ming soldiers and soldiers retreated.
The ship's sergeant pulled out the nails, threw away the ladder, and the ship moved away.
The first exploratory attack of the Ming army ended with more than 400 dead and wounded, and the heavy cost of losing a warship.
The generals gathered together, and Wang Yan immediately smiled: "What do you think of success?" ”
"Before the post of Quanzhou firearms all transported away, it seems that the firearms in the city have not been replenished, when the shelling, there are still artillery sporadic return fire in the south city, and so on the west side of the city began to attack the city, the Qing army in the south city was completely dumb fire, it is estimated that the artillery was moved to the west city. In this way, there are only about 30 artillery pieces in the city at most, and there is no threat to the warship, but the Qing army's fire oil irrigation is a problem, and the stronger throwing it can still hit the battleship, and the battleship was hit by the fire oil, ignited by the rocket, and finally burned completely. ”
"This can allow the soldiers to prepare some grass ash and sand, the Qing army did not throw weapons, only thirty warships, only one was destroyed, this battle damage is still acceptable. As long as this attack is carried out in the future, the army will die, and this cabinet believes that we will not have much to lose. ”
When the generals heard this, they nodded in unison, and then clasped their fists and said, "Please give the order of the Duke of the Kingdom." ”
"Liu Shunke continues to attack Xicheng, the main force of the Qing army should focus on defending here now, this pavilion hopes that you can attract the elite soldiers of the Qing army, after breaking the city, this pavilion will remember you a great achievement. Li Guoke oversaw the army attacking Beicheng, and the cabinet and the successful gamble, you all know, tell the sons and daughters that if you want to get a reward, give the chief of the pavilion a long face. \u000b Wang Yan turned around and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Chenggong is responsible for attacking the southern city, General Gan Hui can lead two thousand men and horses, ambush outside the east gate, don't let it, Zhao Guozuo ran away." "\u000b" Obey the order! "\u000b" will obey! ”
All the generals clasped their fists together, Wang Yan waved his hand, "Okay, let's all go and prepare, after an hour, work together on three sides, you can't break the city before dark, and the army stick of this pavilion is waiting." ”
