Chapter 1176: Iron Locks
The reason why Azig fled to the heavenly 'gate' was because this place was a supply point set up when he went east to Nanjing. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: щ. In addition, the terrain here is dangerous, and after the fiasco of the Great Victory Pass, he brought the remnants of the army here to rest.
Today, the mountain has been bombarded by naval ships. As for the terrain, it was nothing for the long-range shells that rained down like torrential rain.
Wang Duo: "Then why don't you shoot 'cannons'?" ”
Luo Quanyou: "It is estimated that the shells have almost been hit, and the artillery is tired." "Come to think of it, it is the first time for the navy to be covered with artillery fire and tilt hundreds of thousands of catties of steel on the enemy's head in a very short period of time. It is estimated that by now, the navy's ammunition 'medicine' has been almost exhausted, and there are about two bases of artillery shells left to meet the needs of emergencies.
"Then what if Jiannu takes this opportunity to kill him?"
Luo Quanyou: "Elder Ge, look, our army has annihilated six or seven hundred Qingnu men
。 There are only a few people on the entire Tianmen' Mountain, 7,000 heavens. In this world, apart from my Ningxiang Army, which army can reduce its strength by one percent and still maintain morale? Saying that, he smiled: "It's okay if Jiannu doesn't come down the mountain, if he comes, it will be sent to death, lest I still lead troops up the mountain to clear it." ”
Wang Duo smiled: "Also, we have repelled six or seven attacks by Jiannu, and if we come a few more times, they will be wiped out by our army." "The roaring cannon lasted for more than two hours, and then suddenly stopped, and it felt so quiet that you could even hear the sound of blood flowing in your ears.
After laughing, suddenly, he sighed and looked depressed: "It's a pity that the Bronze Buddha Temple and the Tian'men Academy on the mountain are now destroyed in the war." Back then, the old man also lived on the 'Gate' Mountain for a while...... In the future, the world will be peaceful, and the old man will play the Ming court, please rebuild the academy and temple. ”
Luo Quanyou disagreed: the war relies on steel and soldiers, no matter how much you read, what can you get, and it is useless to be a scholar; As for the monks in the temple, can there be good people among the vultures? Lao Tzu worships Sanqing, in my opinion, it is good to shovel all the Buddhist temples in the world.
In fact, when the battlefield was cleaned up after the war, the mountain had indeed been burned to a pile of rubble.
The navy didn't bother to bother with that 'spirit' spirit, and sent someone to bury the body and then withdrew.
As soon as the Ningxiang army left, the local people went up the mountain to pick up the ocean, and naturally they didn't get anything, but iron solid shells were all over the ground. The steel in the town of Yangzhou is of very good quality, and these shells are used just for hoes and ploughshares, and they have not been used up for decades.
As for the reconstruction of the Tian'men Academy and the Bronze Buddha Temple, Lao Wang said that no one was willing to pay for it at all.
It wasn't until sixty years later that Sun Yuan, who had entered his twilight years, accidentally heard that the building on the Tian'men' had been destroyed in the battle to annihilate Azig, and felt that it was a pity, after all, they were two monuments, so he had to leave something for future generations, so he let his 'daughter-in-law' Gao Yuanjue pay out of his pocket to rebuild the Tian'men Academy and the Bronze Buddha Temple on his behalf, anyway, Gao Hou had money. He is also a student of Fu Shan, and he is also in the same vein as Shilin, and it is what he should do to build a academy for scholars to study.
Mrs. Hou Ye, that is, Sun Yuan's 'daughter', is not an easy person to deal with, so she went directly to find Wang Duo's descendants, saying that when the Tian'men Mountain was bombed, Wang Ge Lao was the commander-in-chief, and your Wang family also took out the money.
The Wang family was helpless, although there were also many officials in their family, but the construction of the Tian'men Academy cost a lot, and they couldn't afford it
。 I had no choice but to apportionment it to the 'door' students.
This incident caused a sensation, and after the academy and Buddhist temple were built, a grand ceremony was held, which was attended by officials of the six departments of Nanjing and famous scholars from the southeast Shilin, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while.
But that's a story for another time.
……
As soon as the ship's guns stopped, there was a noticeable gasp on the hill, and the attack was not launched for a long time. Apparently, Azig is reorganizing his men and preparing for the next breakout operation.
At this time, the former lush Tian'men had completely changed, the trees were falling, and the limestone was covered everywhere, as if a skeleton had been shaved off its skin and flesh.
The sun had risen overhead, and it was very hot. There were too many corpses on the mountain road, and there was a black and red 'color' stench. The Marines couldn't take it anymore and sent out the prisoners captured during the previous landing to collect the corpses, and dug a large pit in the distance to fill it. To disinfect it, they even sprinkled a lot of quicklime.
Jiannu on the mountain saw that the Ningxiang army was carrying the corpses, and when the opportunity came later, he sent more than 400 horses and horses to try to rush towards the dock at noon.
When the captives saw the Qing army on the mountain coming, they panicked and dispersed, unable to restrain them.
Luo Quanyou didn't bother to care anymore, and only ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.
Although the enemy's more than 400 men and horses seemed to be immense, they unfortunately did not rush to Luo Quanyou's musketeers, and they were greeted by four 'guns' of four-pounder bronze cannons brought ashore by the marines.
The artillery had already fought well before, and had already surveyed the surrounding terrain clearly, and had trained to 'shoot' at Zhuyuan. At this time, there is almost no need to aim, just 'shoot' the shell as fast as possible.
As a result, the long formation dragged out by the enemy on the mountain road was instantly broken into several pieces by artillery fire, and immediately collapsed, and the men and horses were scattered all over the mountain, and many people rolled directly from the mountain into the river. Even if Fang Wei was merciful and ordered the boat to go out and capture the prisoners, he didn't find a few.
After defeating this enemy army, someone came to tell Luo Quanyou that the prisoners who had escaped earlier had returned.
This news surprised Luo Quanyou and Wang Duo, but after thinking about it, they also felt understandable
。 In fact, the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not as fierce as imagined, except for the national war between the Manchu Qing and the Ming Dynasty. When the war is unfavorable, the soldiers will choose to surrender.
When a soldier eats food, when he eats food and becomes a soldier, who is he 'mixed with' or not?
Back then, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, the Shanxi border army raised its hands and surrendered with almost no decent resistance.
These surrendered Guan Ning troops are also Han Chinese, and they are of the same clan as the Ningxiang army. Moreover, although the Ningxiang army had tied the prisoners with ropes before, after seeing that they had no intention of resisting, they wanted to let them collect the corpses, but they were all loosened and provided them with lunch.
Seeing that the Ningxiang army was generous, the captives were not so afraid.
Besides, they are all from Liaoxi, and now there are wars everywhere, even if they escape from the Ningxiang Army, they will not be able to return to their hometown at all, and they will become roadside starvation. It's better to follow the Ningxiang Army, and have a bite to eat.
As a result, the captives who had escaped came back one after another.
This made Luo Quanyou cry and laugh.
After defeating the Qing army's attack, the enemy organized two more 'waves' of charges, which were not large in scale, only one or two hundred people.
Unfortunately, the offensive of these two 'waves' was even weaker, and they were dispersed by four 'guns' of bronze cannons on the way. It can be seen from the 'flesh' that there are many authentic Jiannu in the team who are carrying knives and can't stop killing deserters, but they can't help anything. There are mountains full of panicked Qing troops, how can they kill them?
"Moths to the fire!" Luo Quanyou shook his head: "If it goes on like this, so-and-so will be so soft." ”
Counting, from yesterday to now, he has repelled Jiannu's eight charges. In the previous 'waves' of enemy attacks, the Tartars finally rushed to within the range of the muskets. Well, now I'm going to flee before I get to the ground.
The morale of the enemy fell to the bottom completely, but the musketeers of the Marine Corps suffered one by one, and they stayed under the poisonous sun, and they could not drink water.
It is said that some soldiers have developed large lumps on their bodies because they have drunk too much water because they are too hot. According to Hou Ye, this is water poisoning.
In this way, the Marines were like an iron lock, firmly locking Azig to the Heavenly Gate Mountain.
"If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more?" Wang Duo was also a little annoyed, the enemy was like a group of damned mosquitoes in the summer, killing one with one slap, and then flying over, it was really invincible: "Can you surrender?" ”
Luo Quanyou had a rare bitter face: "Elder Ge, there is no way?" The Ming Dynasty and Jiannu have been fighting for so many years, and they have only heard of Han 'traitors', when have they ever been full of 'traitors'
。 Even if he is a dragon among people like Hou Ye, he only recruited a Jianzhou person from Xingtai. Today, the Jiannu country is in full swing, but there is no reason to surrender. Besides, Azig was the prince of the Manchus, the elder brother of Dorgon, and the uncle of the Tartar Emperor, so it was possible for him to drop his weapon and accept the surrender? ”
Wang Duo: "General Luo, according to you, when will this battle have a result?" ”
"The hell knows, maybe it will take a day, right? If you can't settle the battle during the day today, maybe you'll have to wait until tomorrow. ”
"Why don't we attack?" Wang Duo recklessly proposed.
Luo Quanyou shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, Elder Ge, haven't you seen that Commander Fang just wants to fight a war with zero casualties." Our marines suffered casualties during the Battle of Dashengguan, and General Fang was very unhappy in his heart. It is not easy to train the navy, but it is piled up with mountains of gold and silver, and gold is very expensive. I don't understand the enemy's situation on the mountain, that's right, if we attack now, we can indeed solve the battle in a short time, but the commander refuses! Besides, without his order, we don't dare to move, that would be to lose our heads. ”
As he spoke, he looked back at the Zhenyuan on the Yangtze River, and there was still no flag on the huge ship.
Wang Duo sighed: "Then wait, wait for the enemy to come and die." ”
"That's all it can be." Luo Quanyou yawned long: "It seems that if this battle does not kill the enemy to death, it will not be over." Ge Lao, why don't you stare at it for a while. ”
Wang Duo got up early last night, and since he landed, his 'spirit' spirit has been in a high state of excitement, and now he has relaxed and only feels extremely tired. Moreover, he had injuries on his body and shed a lot of blood, and he couldn't support it for a while.
Nodding, he lay on the carpet, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept for a long time, Wang Duo was awakened by a shout, and the Jiannu on the mountain began to attack again.
It's endless!
