Chapter 799: The Final Blow
In the dark night, Azig lay in his handsome tent, unable to sleep for a long time, finally falling asleep, and having nightmares again.
In the dream, he dreamed that Roccodor's head was hanging at the head of Taiyuan City, he himself rode into the sea of Wei army alone, and was drowned by the raging Wei army, dreamed that in the ruins of Hetuala, he killed a lot of men, women and children, saw Gao Yihuan smiling in battle with dripping blood, and saw Dolgon raising fire to self-immolation~
"What? The Qing Dynasty is dead! Azig sat up in the middle of the night, his underwear soaked with cold sweat, and his mind was full of dream scenes.
Will the Qing Dynasty die? Azig doesn't believe it, the Qing Dynasty has even collapsed the huge Ming Dynasty, Gao Yihuan is something.
Azig shook his head, but his mind was a mess, and he didn't understand why he had such a nightmare, whether it was the guidance of the god of Changbai Mountain, or whether he was actually quite afraid of Wei Jun in his heart.
After a sleepless night, the next morning, with red eyes, Azig went to the front line to inspect.
In the battle for several days, the Wei army has broken through the two lines of defense of the Qing army, counting the forced conscriptions, the Qing army has suffered 60,000 or 70,000 casualties, if it were not for the strength of the Manchurian headquarters, with ferocious means, kill those who dare to retreat, the Qing army's defense line would have collapsed long ago.
However, although the Qing army is still holding on, it has long been unstable, and if Azig does not show up on the front line, it may be that the morale of the army will be weakened immediately.
Early in the morning, the guards brought a plate of water column pork, a few flatbreads, Azig ate a few bites casually, and saw that the pork was not a fat but not greasy pig's head, but a piece of pork belly meat, and there was a pig ** on it, and he immediately lost his appetite.
Unlike the Western Wei Dynasty, the Qing army had two granaries in Huguang and Sichuan, and now the military rations were already very tight, and the rear officials scraped the ground and barely sent some flour to ensure the consumption of the army.
After only a few bites, Azig came out of the tent and came to the rear of the front.
Because the distance between the two armies was too close, and the artillery of both sides could cover the rear of the opponent's defensive line, Azig just wore an ordinary armor and brought a few guards to avoid attracting artillery bombardment from the Wei army.
During the period of the war, the Qing army had two Jia Lae Zhen, both of which were killed by the Wei army because they were too ostentatious, and the generals of the Green Battalion died even more, of course, the Qing army also killed a few Wei generals.
At this time, Azig walked in the trench, squatting on both sides or leaning on a large number of Qing soldiers, they lit a fire, and the Qing army wearing only cloth coats curled up in the trench and shivered, and when they saw Azig coming, they quickly knelt down and bowed their heads to the ground to express their submission.
What the Qing army lacked now was not only food, but also gunpowder, weapons, armor, cotton jackets, and leather boots to keep out the cold.
The war has reached this point, and it is not only the armed forces that have been compared to it, but also the logistics and comprehensive national strength of both sides.
"What's going on with the barbarians?" Azig asked Ye Chen, who was accompanying him, as he walked.
Ye Chen said gloomily: "Lord Wang, it has been observed on the hillside that the barbarians have made a large-scale move this morning, and they may carry out a large-scale attack. ”
Azig's footsteps stopped, he could feel the melancholy of his subordinates, in the brutal tug-of-war, even the Eight Banners gradually lost their former pride, and no longer had the confidence to win.
Azig was also in his heart, but he suddenly turned around, glanced at the generals, and then laughed: "It seems that Gao Yihuan finally can't hold on!" As long as we take his attack again, this king will not have the strength to attack the barbarians! ”
Ye Chen and the others were already a little uncertain in their hearts, but they still nodded in agreement.
At this time, the group had already arrived at the front line, and Azig and the others looked outside from a shooting hole, and sure enough, they saw helmets moving in the trench.
"Lord Wang, the barbarians may attack at any time, it's not safe here, Lord Wang should go to the back and command the minions!" Ye Chen saw a large number of Wei troops rushing to the front line along the trench, and licked his chapped lips.
Azig did not say that he wanted to stand on the front line, he bowed slightly, and was about to go to the left town behind after a few words, but there was a few creaks behind the Wei army's front, and the stone thrower threw a rod and threw dozens of regiments to the Qing army's position.
Although the power of the Wei army's mortar cannons is large and the distance is long, the interval between shots is relatively long, and the cost of flowering shells is expensive, and the Wei army cannot fire uncontrollably, so it also built some stone throwing machines to bombard with the stone throwing machines of the Qing army.
Seeing this, Ye Chen and the others changed their faces greatly, and hurriedly protected Azig, but what fell down was not a stone, nor a heaven-shattering thunder.
The clump of things fell to the ground and exploded in an instant, sending a sky full of pieces of paper flying in the sky.
Azig and the others looked at this scene suspiciously, Ye Chen picked up one, and his brows immediately twisted into a ball, "What the hell is this?" ”
Azig took it and saw that there were two villains painted on the piece of paper in a very exaggerated and witty way, one was shaved with pigtails, all kinds of miserable, and the other was wearing Han costumes, with cows, fields, houses and the like, and lived a beautiful and harmonious life.
When the Wei army attacked the Qing army, it also carried out a psychological offensive, shooting many letters of surrender, but the effect was very small, Gao Yihuan felt that it was not the green battalion soldiers, and they worked hard for the Qing court with peace of mind, mainly because the propaganda was not in place.
Considering that most people are illiterate, Gao Yihuan thought of painting to promote it, so that everyone who saw it could understand what he meant.
"This is Gao Yihuan's move to disturb the hearts of our army!" Azig's face seemed to be frosty, crumpled the pieces of paper, and then shouted: "Let the bannermen collect it immediately, dare to hide it privately, and behead it on the spot." ”
The military order was conveyed, and the flag in the tunnel immediately collected the pieces of paper fiercely, and the flag was walking, and the Wei army front thundered a few cannons, and the mortar artillery array rose up a cloud of white smoke, and more than 20 shells drew an arc and smashed towards the Qing army's position.
There was a loud "boom", the red light burst out, the strong wind swept wildly, and pieces of dirt were blown into the air, and then fell like hail, startling the Qing troops on the front line, and they squatted in the tunnel with their heads in horror.
A shell happened to land in a trench, and the flames and air waves generated by the explosion instantly engulfed all the Qing troops in the entire trench.
When the Wei army dug the trench, it was zigzag, and the trench was not a straight line, so that even if there was a thunderstorm falling into the trench, it was only a small section of the trench in which the soldiers were affected by the explosion, but the Qing army dug the trench in a straight line, once a shell fell into it, the explosion of air waves and shrapnel could be along the trench and swallow up the Qing army in a long section of the trench.
At this time, the Wei artillery roared, the stone thrower creaked and smashed out stones, or thunder, and the Qing army front was completely submerged by the explosion.
In the trench outside the Qing army's defensive line, the Wei soldiers were already standing with a full meal, and the officers were inspecting the equipment of the soldiers, explaining the essentials of the attack, and cheering them up.
Suddenly, the soldiers found that the king of Wei was wearing armor and stepping on a somewhat muddy tunnel, surrounded by several generals.
"King!"
The soldiers standing in the trench immediately separated to the sides, made way for a passage, and saluted Gao Yihuan one after another.
Gao Yihuan pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, wandered in the trench, did not speak, just stopped from time to time, patted the shoulder of the soldier, sorted out the soldier's armor, silently inspired the morale of the soldier, and when he finished a few trenches, the Wei army's artillery bombardment was almost over.
At this time, Gao Yihuan returned to the rear, the Chinese army blew the horn, asked the soldiers in front of them, whether they were ready, only thirty steps away from the clear formation in the trench, Hao Shaoqi asked people to wave the flag left and right, in response to the Chinese army, the front army was ready.
Gao Yihuan immediately ordered the artillery array, fired the last round of artillery at the first line of defense of the Qing army, and then raised the muzzle of the cannon and extended the fire backwards.
"Boom, boom!" In the sound of cannons, Gao Yihuan took off his armor and personally beat the war drums, in the drums of "dong dong dong", the Wei army crowded with trenches, roared in unison, they did not feel frustrated because of the tug-of-war for days, both the generals and the soldiers were enthusiastic, shouting loudly, in the moment when the war drums were beating and the military flag was waving, they shouted loudly, "Kill the enemy!" ”
On the entire front, the Wei soldiers rushed to the ~~~~~~ of the Qing army's defense line like a flood
