"These Qin beasts!"
Kang Mazi's grandfather, Tong Tulai, who was in the blue flag Gushan, was lying on the city wall, looking at a hastily built wooden shelf on the other side of the Xiaoling River, and said with a sad and angry face.
On this rough wooden frame, a cross-shaped wooden pole was erected, to which the hapless Bahana was nailed, and the two executioners beside him were busy with great interest, cutting flesh piece by piece with knives to the cheers of the Ming troops around him. The two executioners were clearly professionals, and Bahana had been howling on them for half an hour before he died, and a group of wild dogs from nowhere were watching them with eager eyes, waiting to feast!
There was also a group of executioners in front of Bahana, and the Qing soldiers who were captured in Lianshan were all dragged to the stage one by one, and then beheaded there, and the dead bodies that had cut off their heads were thrown directly into the Xiaoling River, but those heads were still piled up in front of the stage, and I don't know what to keep them for.
This scene saw that the Qing army on the city wall was tearing one by one.
In particular, the applause of those Ming soldiers echoed in the sky, which simply made them angry.
"Kill it and kill that dog emperor!"
A general behind Tong Tulai roared.
Then all the Qing troops on the city wall were roaring angrily, saying when they had suffered this kind of humiliation, although they often did this in the past, but it was they who killed those Han slaves, when it was the turn of the Han slaves to deal with them like this, at this time, the 15,000 Eight Banner athletes in Jinzhou City all waved their swords and guns to burn their raging anger, and vowed to go out and fight to the death with the dog emperor.
The latter sat behind the platform, and the yellow crank cover and the twelve dragon flags were very eye-catching.
"Shut up, stick to Jinzhou, and don't go to war!"
Tong Tulai roared.
He is not stupid, Yang Feng did this to stimulate them to go out of the city to fight, although theoretically the field is the strength of the Qing army, but that is all in the past, since the dog emperor came out, the Qing army and the Ming army have not won a field battle, but in the past, those fierce generals who galloped on the battlefield died one after another in the hands of his demons, it can be said that as long as the dog emperor appears, the field battle or something will be saved!
And at this time, the dog emperor is sitting there!
Thinking that no matter how strong the fierce generals of Ao Bai were, they all died of hatred in the field battle, Tong Tulai thought that he had always won with wisdom like this, or honestly squatted on the wall of Jinzhou, and there were only 15,000 defenders in Jinzhou City, and some of them were the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner, so what to do with at least 30,000 Ming troops outside to play field battles? It is only right to honestly rely on the Xiaolinghe natural danger and the Jinzhou city wall, plus dozens of cannons.
However......
"Manchurian athletes, go out with this king and avenge the tragic death of this king's brother!"
On the school yard behind the city gate, a stout half-old man, dressed in blue armor and a lightning rod-like helmet on his head, carried a heavy mace in his hand, rode on his horse and roared angrily.
Behind him, a large number of Manchurian cavalry with the blue banner were following in formation, and even many soldiers on the city wall ran down, mounted their horses and prepared to go out to meet them.
Seeing this scene, Tong Tulai's head was big, he hurriedly ran down and grabbed the reins of the old guy's war horse, and then said with a smile: "Lord, you are angry, the dog emperor just wants to lure us out, we can't fall for him, we have no way to deal with him in the field, but the cannons on our city walls are also what he is afraid of, as long as we stick to Jinzhou and force him to attack hard, we can use cannons to avenge the British king." ”
"Get out of the way, this king is not afraid of that demon!"
The seventh son of the wild boar skin, Abatai, the king of Dororaoyu, shouted.
"Lord Wang, just listen to the last general!"
Tong Tulai said, grabbing the reins.
"Get out of the way, you are a Hannu who has the final say or this king has the final say!"
Abatai kicked him away unceremoniously, pointed forward with a mace, and the officer guarding the gate ignored Tong Tulai's gaze, and quickly opened the city gate for him, this old guy led the cavalry of thirty Niu Lu of Manchurian with the blue banner to rush out of the city, like showing off outside the city, until he rushed to the bank of the Xiaoling River, and then shouted at the Ming army on the south bank: "Dog Emperor, Abatai is here, do you have the courage to fight with Lao Tzu!" ”
"Interesting!"
Yang Feng, who was sitting behind the execution table drinking tea, said indifferently.
"Tell him, come here if you have the guts, I'm waiting for him here, I'm not enjoying a son who tore the skin of a wild boar!"
Then he said.
Of course, Abatai didn't really rush over directly, he wasn't really brainless, then Xiao Linghe was in front, he crossed the river just to be a target for the Ming army, and the duel between the two armies was Luo Guanzhong's, who would fight like that. After showing off his might on the north bank of the Xiaoling River, he immediately led this army to the west, and then crossed the river upstream outside the Ming army's defensive range, and his goal out of the city was to attack on the flanks, relying on the powerful assault force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to crush the attacking Ming army in one fell swoop.
Abatai is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he certainly knows how to fight.
The position of the Ming army at this time is at the angle between the confluence of the Daughter River and the Xiaoling River, and the advantage of Jinzhou City lies in this, there is a Songshan on one side here, and there is only such a small attack surface to attack from the south, but the west side of this angle is open, and a strong cavalry bypasses the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River, and then rushes from west to east to kill it. The Ming army is only 30,000 people, and the number of cavalry is very small, 9,000 elite Zhenglan Banner Manchuria, if even 30,000 Ming infantry can't be defeated, it is simply a joke, even if it is twice as much, he has the confidence that he can break down.
Yang Feng also understood his intentions.
At the same time as Abatai was heading upstream, he also quickly reached the cavalry on the left flank, but the number of cavalry of the Ming army was very small, and the number of his Jinyi guards was only 3,000.
Of course, that's enough.
It's not like he hasn't done anything like five hundred against tens of thousands, let alone three thousand against six thousand.
At this time, the Ming army's artillery bombardment of Jinzhou also began, this time it was not only the twenty-four Hongyi cannons, but also ten more special artillery pieces on the artillery positions of the Ming army......
Uh, it's a mortar.
This kind of thing, which is actually an enlarged version of the tiger squat cannon, is as simple as playing for those Ming craftsmen.
It's just that the previous tiger squat cannon was cast with pig iron, and this time His Majesty the Emperor boldly took out a bunch of brass and asked them to take it and cast it directly with this kind of thing that can be used as a coin, copper casting is of course much simpler than iron casting, because of the time constraints, a total of ten guns were cast, all of which were pulled to the front line in Jinzhou.
Just when those Hongyi cannons began to roar, the ten small mortar cannons also roared, one by one the cannonballs that went straight into the sky, with the whistling sound of falling from a high altitude, flew over the 1.5 thousand meters, and in the stunned gaze of the Qing army on the city wall, they crossed the city wall and smashed into the city, and then in a series of explosions, like a fireflower, a brilliant fire ball exploded.
Uh, it's a flowering bomb.
The woodpipe fuse is not a high-tech thing, and the hollow ball shell of pig iron is not difficult, and it is indeed not easy to cast a hollow ball as a whole, but it is very simple to cast two hemispheres and then weld it, because of the strength of this thing, it is easy to withstand the pressure of the Hongyi cannon in the chamber of the gun, but there is no problem with the short-barreled mortar cannon. That is, the artillery shell is prone to the tragedy of only two halves of one explosion, but the problem Yang Feng does not expect this thing to kill the enemy with shrapnel like modern artillery shells, its main responsibility is to set fire, and the shell is not only filled with flames, but also ......
Silver.
White phosphorus is still too exaggerated, white phosphorus is not easy to find, and it is more dangerous to use, but silver powder is very simple.
The ten flowering shells that exploded like fireworks did not really hit the Qing army because it was difficult to aim at the city wall, and only one of them happened to kill two Qing soldiers, but their bursting sparks quickly ignited the fire in Jinzhou City, which was densely covered with wooden buildings.
The Qing soldiers, who had had this experience once, hurriedly cursed and ran to extinguish the fire.
However, this is just the beginning.
Because the ten small mortar cannons outside the city quickly completed the loading, and then spewed flames into the sky again, the range obtained by the high-throwing trajectory made those shells filled with gunpowder and silver powder easily fall in the city, and at the same time as they fell, the gunpowder in the woodpipe fuse burned to the end, and through the small hole reserved in the pipe wall, the gunpowder filled in the shell was instantly detonated, and the explosion of gunpowder ignited the aluminum powder mixed together.
The ceremonial flowers bloomed again.
"This thing is good, the Hongyi cannon will stop first, anyway, the emperor didn't let the river cross, let's use this thing to burn it first."
Tang Yu gloated.
He is the commander of the Ming army, and Tang Zongbing has always been the imperial assistant of His Majesty the Emperor because of his old and steady age, of course, he is not the general soldier now, he is the Zuo Du of the Forbidden Army that has just been established.
Yang Feng put the various armies in the line at this time into the forbidden army, Wu Sangui is the governor of the capital, Tang Yu is the governor of the left, the former Shanhaiguan general Gao Di is the right governor, and Huang Fei was appointed as the governor of the navy, of course, the main task of the governor of Huang is currently responsible for the shipping between the north and the south, and the operation of the forbidden army is responsible for the two general soldiers of Zhang Mingzhen and Huang Binqing, this time the northern front operation, that is, Tang Yu commanded Cao Youyi and Liu Zhaoji two army commanders, plus Zhang Mingzhen, a general soldier, a total of 30,000 troops under his subordinates.
Of course, there is also the Jinyi Guard, who is the emperor's personal soldier.
"Governor, why don't you take advantage of the chaos to cross the river and attack the city directly!"
Liu Zhaoji said.
The water of the Xiaoling River is not deep, and it is completely possible to directly cross the river and attack.
"It's better to be safe, order all the armies to form a formation and prepare to reinforce Your Majesty!"
Tang Yu looked at the west and said.
The dust raised by the countless cavalry running there was already clearly visible, and the Jinyi Guard and more than 2,000 cavalry led by His Majesty the Emperor were already lined up there, and a big battle was about to begin.
