Chapter 581: Anqing Without Blade Blood (Congratulations to the Alliance Leader)
The Ming Dynasty firearms developed rapidly, all kinds of useful and useless, strange weapons were invented a lot, the idea was very advanced, and it was not uncommon to use gunpowder to blow up the city, but the operation was so accurate, it was rare.
Not to mention that Li Yuanyin cut off the head of Man Dahai, just talk about this method of bombing the city, which made Jin Shenghuan very interested.
If there is such a team that is good at destroying cities, then when it encounters a fortified city that cannot be attacked, it will open a gap, and the army will not be invincible.
At that moment, he privately talked to Li Yuanyin, and found that he was indeed a talent, and he liked it even more.
It happened that Wan Yuan Ji caught up with the army, and Jin Shenghuan immediately went to find him in person and asked to put Li Yuanyin under his command.
Jin Shenghuan won such a big battle, Wan Yuan Ji didn't want to give him face, and he didn't figure out Li Yuanyin's origin, so he nodded and agreed, and simply asked Li Yuanyin to take the headquarters, and then select a thousand people from the miners, make up three thousand, and sell Jin Shenghuan a favor.
With the permission of the superintendent, Jin Shenghuan brought Li Yuanyin under his command, and he not only won a general, but also as a superior, he also scored half of the credit for killing Man Dahai.
Jin Shenghuan was in a good mood, and immediately urged the army to step out of Jiangxi and enter the boundary of Chizhou.
The cavalry of the Qing army, which had fled earlier, had already brought news of a major defeat at the front to the state capitals along the way.
The officials appointed by the Qing court were extremely shocked when they learned that behind the rout was the Ming army that was chasing and killing, and they fled for their lives without waiting for the Ming army to kill.
After the death of Man Dahai, the backbone of the Qing army in Jiangxi became the real gold of Gushan, he fled into Chizhou, and he didn't think about defense, and even if he wanted to defend, he couldn't hold it.
With 100,000 Ming troops chasing after him, he didn't dare to stay at all, and fled directly to Jiangning.
On the side of the Ming army, as long as the head of the man Mandahai was carried out, and the city was turned around along the way, all the cities along the way surrendered, and within three days, the 100,000 Ming army fell into Jiande, Dongliu, and Jiyang, and the soldiers arrived at Huangshiji and Anqing across the river.
The Qing army entered Kouchu and Jiangxi on three roads, and the grain and grass materials on the north road were provided by Henan and other places, and Tun Xinye, the middle road and the south road were all sent by Jiangnan to send troops and grain, and Anqing was one of the transit places for materials, grain and grass.
Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of the Qing Dynasty who was in charge of the logistics of the two armies, was in Anqing, he heard that Mandahai had been killed, and saw nearly 100,000 horses on the other side, with flags covering the sky, and could cross the river at any time.
The Ming army stopped at Huangshiji for a few days, found the boats and crossed the river in batches. The Qing soldiers in Anqing City did not dare to build a river defense, but they couldn't build it if they wanted to, there were only 3,000 people in the city, and the platoon station was not a few miles, so what kind of river defense to build.
On July 20, Jin Shengheng led 100 generals and 100,000 soldiers to Anqing City.
At the beginning, the left rebelled eastward, known as a million, and it was here that Huang Degong stopped and defeated.
Jin Shenghuan, as a member of the left department, after three years, came to this city, and felt some emotion in his heart.
At that time, the left was a loss of ground, and he couldn't go forward to Nanjing, and he couldn't go back to Huguang, and he was in a dilemma on both sides, and now he is back in Anqing, and the old experience is still vivid, and there are also two choices, put in front of him.
Looking at Jinling in the east, or relieving the siege of Wuchang in the west?
Although Wan Yuan Ji had already made a decision to march westward, outflank Duoduo, and relieve the siege of Wuchang first, and he also recognized this decision, but the temptation of Nandu Wangwang made him somewhat unwilling, which made Jin Shenghuan very disgusted with Anqing.
Sun Shoufa on the side didn't pay attention to Jin Shenghuan's emotions, he was looking at the city wall in the distance, looking at the defenders in the city with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Duzhen, how to fight?" ”
Jin Shenghuan listened to it and said: "Change the rules, still shoot the book first to surrender, but the deadline is changed to one day, and once the deadline passes, the army will break the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." ”
Sun Shoufa was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much, the Ming Dynasty army also slaughtered the city, he pursed his lips, "Then let people put the formation away, so that the defenders can see our military appearance and momentum, and weigh it themselves." ”
Jin Shenghuan nodded when he heard this, but at this time, Wang Deren suddenly shouted, "Huh? Do these birds still dare to open the city gates and not be afraid of death? ”
When everyone heard the reputation, they saw the city gate slowly open, Jin Shenghuan saw this, snorted coldly, and immediately waved his hand, Xu Qiren behind him immediately understood, rushed out with a war horse, and two thousand cavalry behind him also rushed out, wanting to see how the three melons and two dates in the city fought with them outside the city.
The cavalry lined up, the gates were wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, but only one rode out, the man had no armor, no sword, the braid on the top of his head was cut, and he came out straight out wearing a Taoist uniform and a scarf.
Where is this to fight in waves, obviously to surrender, Xu Qiren hurriedly asked people to bring the people to Jin Shenghuan, and the people said: "Sinner Yangkun, I am here to dedicate the city, please invite Wan Du Shi and Jin Du Zhen to enter the city." ”
Under the city of Wuchang, artillery fire continued, and the battle lasted for more than half a month, and gradually reached the most intense time.
After several days of bombardment, at this time has achieved initial results, after the old city wall pointed out by Fu Shangrui, under the bombardment of hundreds of shells every day, finally cracked a big hole, and finally completely collapsed out of a three-zhang wide gap.
The Qing army swarmed in from this gap, fortunately the Ming army knew that the city wall would collapse sooner or later, and Zhizhou You Youlun had already organized the people to build a low wall behind the old city wall.
But the low wall is not a city wall after all, under the onslaught of the Qing army, the Ming army will inevitably not be able to resist, the guard general Chen Youlong hurriedly transferred troops to increase the number of troops, but because the transfer of troops must first inform the governor's palace, and it is obvious that the Qing soldiers burst into the city.
Chen Bu fought to the death, although he waited for reinforcements to come and drove the Qing soldiers out of the city, but it also made Chen Youlong extremely dissatisfied with He Tengjiao.
At this time, if the governor wants to seize power, he has to stand on the city and watch, where he needs support, he can immediately support, but He Tengjiao did not dare to go to the city even if he took power, and the generals made a transfer on the spot, and waited for people to go to the governor's palace to report, and after a trip back and forth, the daylily was cold.
The generals in the city hated He Tengjiao's behavior of not letting go of power, concentrating power behind him, and not taking responsibility.
The collapse of the city wall was a great blow to the morale of the city, and coupled with the conflict between the defending generals and the overseers, the morale of the army in the city was already unstable.
In the past few days, nearly hundreds of people in the city have fled outside the city and surrendered, and one hundred households have joined the enemy, which has made the people in the city even more panicked.
Zhizhou You Youlun couldn't do anything about it, and in desperation, he could only let people make a big turtle out of wood, and ordered people to drag it along the street and shout: "The enemy surrenders like this!" ”
Duoduo was still very satisfied with the results of the battle, and in his experience, the destruction of the city was not far off.
