Shang Zhixin turned his head: "General Zhang! ”

"The last general!" Zhang Wenxuan stepped forward and saluted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Get your evidence out!" Shang Zhixin nodded to Zhang Wenxuan.

Zhang Wenxuan took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Wang Yuyou with both hands: "Military advisor, this is evidence that Shang Zhixiao colluded with the Tartar pseudo-Qing princess Kong Sizhen!" Kong Sizhen is loyal to the Tartar court, and the Tartars are all under the control of this stinky biaozi, since Shang Zhixiao colluded with her, he will not sincerely submit to my Daming! ”

Wang Yuyou took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, then raised his head and stared at Shang Zhixiao: "General Shang, your eldest brother said that you colluded with the pseudo-Qing princess Kong Sizhen, this is a correspondence between you and her, if this letter is true, then how can we believe you?" ”

Shang Zhixiao's face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping on the ground, and he cursed the eldest brother who was bent on killing him with the most vicious words in his heart, but the matter in front of him had to be solved immediately. So Shang Zhixiao replied: "Return to the military division!" The last general and the eldest brother have always been at odds, and the eldest brother has repeatedly wanted to put the last general to death. At that time, you hadn't come yet, and the last general cooperated with Kong Sizhen in order to save his own life! The conscience of heaven and earth, in the end, this time is sincerely obedient! Cooperating with Kong Sizhen is all in the past. ”

"You cooperate with Kong Sizhen, just by virtue of this, it is difficult for us to believe in your character." Wang Yuyou smiled and scared Shang Zhi's filial piety.

Shang Zhixiao was anxious when he heard this, and said with a sweat on his head: "Lord Wang, the last general is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" If you don't believe it, Lord Wang can let the last general attack the city, and the last general is willing to take the head of Hahamu's neck for Lord Wang! ”

"Good!" Wang Yuyou clapped his palm, "The big husband is hard to chase after him!" As long as you can be the first to storm the city, I will believe in your loyalty! ”

Shang Zhixin was also anxious, he was anxious to get rid of Shang Zhixiao, a big trouble. If Shang Zhixiao is really the first to attack the city, then Shang Zhixiao will make a great contribution, which is very unfavorable to himself. So Shang Zhixin couldn't wait to say that he was more loyal than Shang Zhixiao: "Military advisor, this son is also willing to lead the army to attack the city!" We will be the first to storm the city! Not only that, but this son will also wash the city with blood, and not let go of a single Tartar! ”

"If a certain person invades the city, he will also wash the city with blood!" Shang Zhixiao also turned his heart sideways and expressed his willingness to slaughter the city.

Wang Yuyou said with a smile: "Your seventh brother is still hostage in the hands of the puppet Qing court, if your two brothers capture Mancheng, I'm afraid the Tartars will kill your younger brother." ”

Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao said in unison: "If you want to achieve great things, there must be trade-offs!" ”

Wang Yuyou touched his beard and nodded: "Since this is the case, then the task of attacking the city will be handed over to you two brothers!" After taking the city, the city will be bloodied! ”

"No!" The two brothers arched their hands and retreated. When they exited the big tent, Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao looked at each other angrily, eager to tear each other to pieces.

When Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao withdrew, Chen Python came up and asked, "Why didn't the military advisor find an excuse to kill Shang Zhixiao?" Shang Kexi killed innocents indiscriminately in Guangzhou and signed a lot of blood debts, but this old turtle himself has so many children! Now the Shang family is basically dead, if you kill Shang Zhixiao, and then let Shang Zhixin capture the city, the Qing court will kill Shang Zhilong, then there is only one Shang Zhixin who is truly surrendered, and we can spare his life for the time being. ”

Wang Yuyou said: "It's not that I don't see that Shang Zhixiao is the two ends of the first rat, a capricious person!" In fact, even Shang Zhixin is such a person! For such people, we can only take advantage of. Since this is the case, then keep Shang Zhixiao and let him and Shang Zhixin contain each other! Let their two brothers fight for loyalty, so why not? ”

Chen Python suddenly realized: "The military advisor's clever plan!" ”

Zeng Yangxing and other Fujian generals also bowed their hands and said: "The military advisor has a clever plan!" Let these two white-eyed wolves kill each other! ”

The Shang family, in addition to staying in the hands of the Qing court as a hostage, is already a certain death of Shang Zhilong, there is only this pair of living treasure brothers left, Shang Kexi's remaining sons who are lucky not to die are young, and later with Shang Kexi's young concubine remarried, even the surname was changed to the husband's surname, and since then the Shang family has left the two brothers have been restrained from each other. Later, the two brothers were sent by Wang Xinyu to the west, and in the end, Shang Zhixiao's family was all killed by Shang Zhixin, and Shang Zhixin himself became the king of Persia, of course, that is a later story.

The outer city of Guangzhou has been fully recovered, and only the city is full, and the general Hahamu of Guangzhou is stationed in the city.

Wang Yuyou sent two brothers, Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao, to attack Mancheng, together with Li Yangzhi's Han Eight Banner Army, also participated in the siege, plus the assistance of the Green Camp Qing Army that had previously returned to the Ming Army, a total of more than 30,000 people were gathered to attack Mancheng.

Originally, there were a total of 14 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers in the city of Guangzhou, and one Zuo Ling was the original Niu Lu, about 300 to 500 people, a total of more than 5,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers. However, in the Battle of Zhangzhou, Zhu Mala and the 3,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners he brought from Guangzhou were all annihilated. In that battle, the Ming army used a new swarm of rockets to annihilate 3,000 Guangzhou Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and 2,000 Fujian Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, a total of more than 5,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, but their own losses were minimal.

After the Battle of Zhangzhou, there were only 2,000 soldiers left in Guangzhou. Next, the Ming army mixed into the city under Shang Zhixin's answer, and killed about 1,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers. Now Hahamu only has a thousand Manmeng Eight Banner soldiers on hand.

Guangzhou General Hahamu stood at the head of the city, looking at the black and oppressive Ming army under the city, to be exact, those are not the real Ming army, not long ago they were still green battalion soldiers, or Han Eight Banners, and even among them there are real Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers, and now these soldiers who should have been "Qing Dynasty King Division" have become "pseudo-Ming Haikou" soldiers.

Under the city, the green battalion soldiers who were preparing to attack the city wore the original Qing army uniforms and a piece of armor on the outside; The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were still wearing their original cotton armor and helmets with lightning rods on their heads; On the contrary, the original Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, because they surrendered earlier, have all changed into the red uniforms of the Ming army.

The 30,000 Green Battalion and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were all cannon fodder for the Ming army, but these cannon fodder could flood the city of Guangzhou.

Hahamu organized the old men and children in the city, those fifty or sixty-year-old old men, all of them used to be the old Eight Banners soldiers who came in all the way outside the Guan, in contrast, the half-grown children in their teens did not have much combat effectiveness, compared to them all grew up in the Guannei, they were usually pampered, they were used to eating hardcore crops, and they had almost no combat effectiveness.

The speed of the fall of the Eight Banners is indeed very fast, in the past 21 years since entering the customs, the Eight Banners who grew up in the customs have degenerated into a group of wastes who walk birds all day long to make tea and make tea in the mountains, and with the credit of the special offerings of the Eight Banners, the speed of the Eight Banners Soldiers' decline is faster than in history.

"Break through the city, and don't seal the sword for three days!" Shang Zhixiao shouted at his Han Eight Banner soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers.

"Don't seal the knife for three days! Kill all the men and snatch all the women! "Shang Zhixiao's soldiers are highly motivated.

The Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers in the city, for these Han Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, they used to be the high-ranking Manchurian and Mongolian masters, and the Han Eight Banners were a group of minions in the eyes of the Manchurian Eight Banners! Not to mention the Green Battalion, whose status is even lower. But today, they were about to turn over and aim their butcher knives at the group of Eight Banner Masters who had ridden on their heads.

Shang Zhixin looked at Shang Zhixiao's men and horses coldly, and sneered: "Shang Zhixiao's morale is quite high!" ”

Li Tianzhi said: "Little prince! The last general will definitely not disgrace the little prince! No matter how high his morale is, the last general will definitely attack the city before them! ”

"Good!" Shang Zhixin patted Li Tianzhi on the shoulder, "Show Shang Zhixiao, a bastard, who is the real elite!" He wants to break the city before us? Hum! It's a dream! ”

Originally, Shang Zhixin's surrender did not have much loyalty to the Ming army, but because of Shang Zhixiao's existence, Shang Zhixin had to show Wang Yuyou, and invisibly, his loyalty to the Ming army increased by several levels. In the same way, the existence of Shang Zhixin also made Shang Zhixiao feel in crisis, and he had to perform himself desperately to have a chance.

And Li Yangzhi's loyalty is more reliable than Shang Zhixin and Shang Zhixiao, because his life was saved by the Ming army, if he hadn't been saved by Chen Python, Li Yangzhi's head would have been taken by Shang Zhixiao as a vote.

The armies of Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao and Li Yangzhi were the vanguard of the attack on Mancheng.

Behind the formation, it was Zeng Yangxing, Geng Zhongge, Ma Jiuyu, Jiang Yuanxun, Bai Xianzhong and other Fujian Han Eight Banner Army and Green Camp Army, they surrendered earlier than the Guangzhou Han Eight Banner and Green Battalion, and also participated in the attack on Chaozhou, Huizhou and other battles, so these soldiers were placed in the second echelon by Wang Yuyou.

Originally, the Eight Banners of the Han Army of the Geng family and the monk's family were all transformed from the Eight Banners of the Han Army by Wuzhen Chaoha, the king of Sanshun, and the degree of firearms was very high. Now Wang Yuyou concentrated the firearms of the Han Eight Banners to the Fujian Han Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers to cover the attack of the Han Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers in Guangzhou.

"Siege!" Wang Yuyou gave an order.

War drums rumbled, trumpets sounded, and a pair of Ming troops in brightly armored armor advanced towards the city walls. Mancheng is an inner city, no moat is dug again, and because the Ming army invaded Guangzhou too fast, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners in the city did not have time to set up obstacles such as deer and wooden stakes under the city, so there was no need for auxiliaries to attack Mancheng, as long as the surrendered Qing army attacked directly.

"Kill!" Groups of Han Eight Banner soldiers wearing bright armor shouted and rushed towards the city, and a large number of original green battalion soldiers wearing anti-uniforms carried ladders and pushed rushing carts to attack the city wall.

The Green Battalion Army was cannon fodder on the side of the Qing army, and when it surrendered to the side of the Ming army, it was still used as cannon fodder by Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao and Li Yangzhi. The siege troops rushed to the front, all wearing red tasseled hats and uniforms, and it looked like the green battalion soldiers without braids were storming the city.

Holding bows and arrows in the back, pushing artillery, and preparing to provide long-range fire assistance to the siege troops, they were originally Fujian Qing soldiers, after surrendering to the Ming army, Wang Xinyu couldn't find so many military uniforms for them to wear, so these surrendered Qing soldiers were still wearing their original clothes.

A leader of the Eight Banners scolded: "These Han people are not credible! They were still the kings of my court yesterday, and today they have become traitors and pirates! ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Hahamu shouted.

At the head of the city, more than 1,000 Meng's Eight Banners soldiers stretched their bows and arrows, and the arrows rained down, and the arrows drilled into the attacking Ming army formation.

"Hold up!" Zhang Wenxuan shouted.

Li Tianzhi, who was attacking in front, and a group of Qing soldiers of the original green battalion raised their wooden shields covered with cowhide to protect the vital points and the front door.

Most of the locust-like arrows fell from the city, but most of them were blocked by log shields, and only some of the arrows passed between the shields and hit the soldiers behind. These soldiers have a leather or cotton armor, the leather armor is less protective, but there are heart guards on it, which can prevent vital points; The defensive nature of the cotton armor is much better, the outside is pressed cotton strongly, and there is a layer of iron sheet inside. Most of the soldiers who were hit by arrows were fine, and the soldiers who were shot in the arms and legs were in pain, and the medical technology of the Qiongzhou Army was good, and the treatment of arrow wounds was not too much of a problem.

Some of the Qing army's armor-piercing heavy arrows were more ruthless, not only the arrows were extremely sharp and had barbs, but most of these arrows had been soaked in feces or mud, which could make people infected and poisoned.

The medical team of the Qiongzhou Army has a high degree of liquor made from sweet potatoes and distilled to obtain alcohol. The high-grade liquor made from sweet potatoes has a poor taste and is an inferior liquor, but it is cheap and a good choice for making disinfectant alcohol.

The wounded soldiers were immediately carried down and taken to the medical team for treatment.

The medical team would cut open wounds with boiled knives, dig out arrows, and disinfect wounds with alcohol. If there is an infection in the wound, berberine in the hands of the Qiongzhou army can save the lives of the wounded soldiers.

Wang Xinyu's local method of refining berberine, the principle is very simple, using the Chinese herbal medicine Coptis chinensis as raw materials, and then using alcohol and vinegar to refine, you can obtain berberine with very good sterilization effect, this medicinal material with alcohol, sterilized gauze and various surgical knives, saved the lives of a large number of wounded soldiers.

"Long players, get in the line! Birds, archers, press up! "Zeng Yang drank the order.

The former Fujian Green Battalion soldiers, who wore green camp uniforms, held large rectangular wooden signs, trotted forward, advanced to the range of the Qing army's bows and arrows, erected wooden cards on the ground, and formed a shield array to block the rain of arrows shot from the city.

The bird-gunners and archers of the original Green Battalion and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty stepped forward one after another, shooting at the head of the city with the weapons in their hands to suppress the Qing army's defensive firepower. Although the green battalion soldiers and the Han Eight Banners were not as good as the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners at the head of the city, and they were in a disadvantageous position in the terrain, the Qing army was condescending, and the Ming army was shooting from the back, and the position was unfavorable, but there were many Ming soldiers. Tens of thousands of archers and bird gunners suppressed the city, and arrows and projectiles continued to shoot at the city, causing considerable losses to the Qing army.

The artillery of the Ming army in the back also pushed up, launched an artillery bombardment on the city head, and the solid shells continued to hit the city head, smashing the female wall battlements one after another, and some Qing soldiers were directly injured by the flying city bricks and gravel blocks. The remaining Qing soldiers lost the protection of the female wall battlements, and were so shot by the offensive fire of the Ming army under the city that they could not even stand on their heels.
