Chapter 234: Street Battle in Jinan

The two Huai disciples with swords and cards poured in from the gap that was blown up, killed the Qing soldiers who tried to block the road, and were about to continue to rush inside, but found that a breastwall behind the ruins of the city wall blocked the road, and there was a wooden fence on the breastwork.

The Ming army used shields to block the feather arrows, and the bird bullets that kept shooting were slightly more powerful, and some soldiers' shields were penetrated, and after the bullets penetrated the shield, they hit the armor again, penetrating the past, causing casualties.

"Kill the Tartars!" The Ming soldiers roared, and after paying the price of dozens of casualties, they rushed to a distance of thirty paces and threw a volley of grenades, blowing up the Qing troops behind the breastwork.

The Ming saber and shield men rushed to the wooden fence, and a row of Qing pikemen stood up behind them, hiding behind the wooden fence and constantly stabbing outward with their spears. The sword and shield bearers only had two grenades each, and they had just finished throwing them all, and they were blocked by a wooden fence, and the knives could not cut the soldiers, and the spears inside kept stabbing out, and from time to time someone was provoked to rebel.

Just when the two Huai disciples were blocked in front of the chest wall and were so anxious that they didn't know what to do, a loud shout came from behind: "Get out of the way!" ”

Hearing the shouting, the two Huai disciples moved out of the way, revealing the musketeers behind them.

"Bang bang bang" Mini bullet rifled gun emitted a deafening gunshot, the Ming army standing in three rows shot hot bullets in three rounds with three shots, Mini bullet loading speed is even faster than the flintlock pistol, the gunfire roared, endless, high-speed rotating bullets passed through the gaps in the wooden fence, and the Qing soldiers behind the crowd of Qing soldiers splashed blood, screaming again and again.

The musketeers fired several rounds of fire, and the Clearers couldn't lift their heads, and then the Demomen rushed forward and threw several smoking packets of explosives at the breastwork.

"Boom" the breastwork and wooden fence collapsed.

The grenade thrown by the sword and shield hand before, the charge was not large, and it exploded in the open space, mainly releasing fragments to hurt people, and it was impossible to blow up the chest wall at all, and even the wooden fence was difficult to blow up. Now with a shockwave-based explosive pack, the breastwork and the wooden fence were blown to pieces in a single blow.

"Kill!" The sword and shield hand rushed forward, slashing melons and vegetables like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the Qing soldiers on the streets.

Fierce battles broke out in many gaps where the Ming army entered, and the Qing army was beaten back one after another. But Zhang Fengyi was not such a difficult person to deal with, he planted powder kegs in some blocks, and when the Ming army entered the block, he immediately detonated the powder keg, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army. When the Ming army attacked some intersections, the mines buried in the ground exploded, which also caused some casualties to the Ming army.

Inspired by matches, he bought a large number of matches, took off the caps on the matches, glued them to the iron rods, and then took off the paper skin of the matches, wrapped them in the iron pipe, and connected a fuse in the iron pipe, so as to make a fire cap mine that was much more reliable than the flintlock mine.

Although Zhang Fengyi tried every means to defend the city, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the Qing army in the city retreated in the street battle, unable to resist the tide of the Ming army's attack.

"My lord, Minggou's firearms are sharp, and the power is too great! We can't stop it! Let's run! While Minggou has not blocked the east gate and north gate, we left Jinan! Several Qing army generals knelt in front of Zhang Fengyi and persuaded each other.

"How can it be!" Zhang Fengyi stood up and flicked her sleeves and roared, "I eat the king's fortune, and I should do the things of loyalty to the king!" We have received the great grace of the Qing Dynasty, if Jinan falls into the hands of thieves, we can only serve the court with death! If you dare to have the heart of stealing your life, don't blame this official for being ruthless! ”

"Your Excellency!" A cronie is still trying to persuade him.

Zhang Fengyi snorted coldly: "If there are any survivors who abandon the city lightly, behead!" ”

In addition to the Qing army's standard tiger squat cannon, Buddha machine, bird gun, flintlock pistol and bow and arrow, Zhang Fengyi came to Jinan, but also created pine cannons, wooden pipe guns and other improvised weapons to block the Ming army's attack. In the streets and alleys, the Qing army planted mines, buried powder kegs, and the Qing army hiding in the building used various weapons to block the advance of the Ming army.

In Jinan, all the buildings have been renovated, and the wooden houses that are easy to ignite have been demolished, and the removed wood has been used to build various weapons to defend the city, or to make barricades with wood and sandbags; The sturdy masonry buildings were preserved, also reinforced with sandbags, and the wooden doors and windows were removed and sealed with bricks, leaving only firing holes. The roofs of some buildings were changed to flat roofs, and wooden fences were used to build women's walls on them, and Qing soldiers stood on them to resist stubbornly.

In terms of troop deployment, Zhang Fengyi was prepared to defend the city wall at the beginning, and the street fortifications were only to make up for the defense of the city wall. But when he found that the artillery of the Ming army was really powerful, and the city wall could not be held at all, he changed his mind and adopted the method of light in front and heavy in the deployment of troops, shrinking the main forces into the city, the city wall was only a symbolic resistance, and street fighting was the protagonist. He hoped that through street fighting, the strength of the Ming army would be greatly consumed.

When the Ming army shelled the Chengtou Fort, Zhang Fengyi ordered the small cannons such as the Tiger Squat Cannon, the General Cannon and the Franc Machine to be withdrawn, moved into the building, and the building was reinforced.

When the Ming army entered the city, these small cannons hiding in the buildings played a great role, and the artillery fire blocked the block, bringing a lot of casualties to the Qiongzhou army.

Of course, the common people of Shandong were not all willing to work for the Qing court, and many people had already made up their minds and surrendered when the Ming army entered the city. But Zhang Fengyi had long expected this, and when he came to Jinan to take office, he borrowed a group of private soldiers from Jin merchants. The guards of the Jin merchants were desperately loyal to the Qing court, and they knew that their head of the house had been listed by the Ming army as a must-kill list, and if the head of the house fell, the tree would be scattered.

More than 3,000 Jin merchant guards were broken up and incorporated into the Minzhuang, acting as officers and supervising the team, once they found that the local people in Shandong had retreated, the supervising team did not hesitate to swing their knives and slash and kill.

was held with knives behind the back by the Jin merchant guards, and the people could only resist the attack of the Ming army step by step.

"The resistance of the dog Tartars in this city is really stubborn!" Li Rui's offensive was thwarted again.

"Unleash the airship!" Wang Yu said, "Use the airship to guide the new mortar and smash it for me block by block!" ”

Two hydrogen airships rose into the air and slowly flew over the city. At the same time, the Ming army's new mortar artillery team also entered the city from the open gate. These new mortars, which played a huge role in the battle between the two Huai, will once again exert their power in street battles.

The airship entered the sky over the city, found the building where the Qing army was stationed, and immediately sent out a flag signal.
