Chapter 1255: I'm going to persevere
Yes, I can't fall, if I fall, not only will the army be leaderless, but it is also very likely that the Duoduo of Yangzhou and the difficult Azig will be harmed. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the book]
Nowadays, the main force of the Eight Banners of the entire Qing Dynasty has been concentrated in the Jianghuai region, especially in the Duoduo army, which can be regarded as the essence of the entire Jianzhou, and what they want is to completely destroy the Ming Dynasty Nanjing Hongguang is correct.
Although the Huai'an battlefield is not as large as Yangzhou in terms of scale, nor is it as good as Azig's side, its importance is not inferior to the other two battlefields, and it is even more critical.
That's right, more important!
……
Azig felt thirst in his throat as if a fire was burning, the only organ in his body that felt hot.
He walked to the desk with difficulty, sat himself down, poured a glass of cold water into it, and breathed for a long time before he was more stable.
This time, the Qing army sent all the main forces to the south in three directions, and he, Duoduo, and Azig all shouldered different responsibilities and had different tasks.
The Duoduo army was the main force, and the main goal was to take Yangzhou, seize the money bag of the Hongguang regime, fundamentally eliminate the enemy's war potential, and destroy his country.
As for Azig, although his goal is directly aimed at Nanjing, he can only be regarded as a surprise army. Although Nanjing is the capital of the enemy, even if it is captured, it will not affect the overall situation, especially Jiangbei and Yangzhou are still in the hands of the Ming army. By anointing the land of wealth, they were able to maintain a healthy finances. Moreover, guarding the river must guard the Huai. If Duoduo can't take Yangzhou, Azig can't stay in Nanjing.
This kind of thing in the capital is to lose it and set it up again. As for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was arrested by Azig, it was a big deal to choose another one.
Azig fought Nanjing, more to psychologically deter the Ming people.
Therefore, if you want to solve this battle, you have to make a fuss in Yangzhou.
The problem is that Yangzhou is not so big. Yangzhou's city defense is strong, and Shi Kefa, who defends the city, has a very high prestige, and he can be regarded as a capable person.
There are millions of people in the city, and the Ming army in more than a dozen towns has sufficient human and material resources, and it is urgent to get down
。
The most important thing is that outside the city, Yangzhou and Luzhou and three of the four towns in Jiangbei are soldiers and horses: Ningxiang Army, Qin Army, and Lufeng Army.
It can be said that the field army that the entire Ming Dynasty could fight was concentrated in this area. Especially the Ningxiang Army, to put it mildly, it is really difficult to deal with, in terms of its combat strength, I am afraid that it is not inferior to the Jianzhou Army. Over the years, how many Jianzhou warriors have died under his hands. Ashan, Aobai, Yuetuo...... Even Duoduo had been defeated once, and although Duoduo didn't say it, it could be seen that he was very afraid of Sun Yuan.
There is a saying in the Han art of war: anticipate the enemy and be lenient. (No pop-up ads)
In everything, it is always right to think about difficulties and prepare for the worst.
When encountering the Qin army and the Lufeng army, Duoduo could eliminate them without much effort, but he had to prevent the battle with the Ningxiang army from going unsmoothly and cook this battle into a sandwich meal.
At this time, this unit of Zhun Tower can play a key role.
After all, there were tens of thousands of horses, although most of them were composed of soldiers of the Han army banner who were not very strong in combat. But once the battle between Duoduo and Sun Yuan became a stalemate, once our Zhunta troops took Huai'an, and the morale of the army was in full swing after the great victory, it would become the last straw that crushed the behemoth of the Ningxiang army.
That's right, our Zhunta Army is the general reserve of the Battle of Extinction.
Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, you have to guard against the fact that once Duoduo is defeated by Sun Yuan, the whole army will retreat north.
At this time, the army of my quasi-tower will be responsible for receiving and breaking off.
The key to all this is Huai'an City, as long as you take this place and join the Yangzhou battlefield, you can establish a firm foothold here, so that Duoduo's army retreating north has a place to take a breath and recuperate.
As long as Huai'an is in my hands in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how bad the form of this battle is, it will not be over.
……
However, Huai'an ...... Why is it so hard to fight, why is it so hard to fight?
And, my heavens, how could I have thought that Dodor would be defeated? Impossible, impossible, seventy percent of the main forces of the entire Eight Banners Army are now in his hands, and it can be said that the strength of the entire Great Qing Kingdom has been bet on Yangzhou
。 、
Taishan has surpassed Beihai, how can it be lost?
……
The anxiety in Junta's heart was about to surge, and the left side of his face suddenly began to hurt hotly.
This kind of pain is very strange, once it hits, it feels like the nostrils are full of flames, which makes people's hearts have bursts of violent anger, and they can't hold it back, and they just want to draw a knife and kill people.
He couldn't help but touch the left side of his face again, and suddenly felt his fingers wet, and when he retracted it, he saw that there was a little yellow liquid stuck on it.
It turned out that it was pus from the wound oozing out of the gauze.
He knew his body best, and Zhun Ta knew that he wouldn't last long. The wound has completely suppurated, and there is no possibility of healing. This is sepsis, yes, although Lang Zhong doesn't say it, but he knows it.
Because of this kind of injury, he had seen too much in the army before, and the most obvious sign was fever, a regular fever, every afternoon when the temperature rose.
Earlier, on the battlefield, he had been burned so that his brain was almost confused, and it was as if a projectile had been placed inside, and as long as he shook it slightly, there was a bone rattle inside.
It's a tough battle.
These days, Zhun Ta can be said to have racked his brains and thought of any way.
First of all, the houses of the people outside Huai'an City were demolished and a large number of ladders and watchtowers were built, which were directly built on the Huai'an city wall, and the ants were attached to the siege of the city.
Originally, I thought that the Shandong army was cowardly, and the feet of the warriors of Jianzhou were important once the feet of the Huai'an city wall on the tower were on the ground, and the enemy would scatter in a hurry and flee for their lives.
But I don't want to, this is just the beginning of a tragic urban offensive and defensive battle.
The Shandong army in the city not only did not rout, but also knocked down the artillery arrows and feather arrows like splashing water.
The first wave of the Qing army to attack the city was the Han army, and a large part of these Han troops were recruited by the Ming Dynasty after Zhunta entered Shandong and the rest of Li Chuang. They all shouted loudly and screamed, falling from the city like autumn poplar leaves
。
It can be clearly seen that there are many soldiers in bright armor among the enemies on the city wall, no need to ask, it must be Liu Chun's family and the generals of the Shandong army, this Ming army is too fierce, there are them on the top of the soldiers, the Ming army above is inspired by them and the harsh military law, it can be said that everyone is desperate.
The first wave of the Qing army's offensive was so easily crushed, but Zhun Ta was not worried, and also set up a team to supervise the battle team to maintain it in front.
Under the coercion of the warlords, the Han army could only step forward again, braving the rain of arrows and stones, boiling dung and lead juice, and filling bags of earth into the moat.
Huai'an was a water city, and the moat was wide and deep, making it difficult for the besieging forces to deploy.
However, at this time, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky.
The voice was so loud that it gave people goosebumps. Looking up, even the Zhun Tower couldn't help but be shocked. But I saw that in the sky, there was a large stone millstone disc surrounded by two people flying horizontally.
This thing is so ruthless, it weighs more than a thousand catties, and once it falls, it can be said that it will die if it hits, and it will hurt if it is rubbed. Both the power and the shock to people's psychology are more than solid shells.
Later, through the interrogation of the captured Ming army captives, Zhun Ta learned that the Shandong army drove countless catapults behind the city wall, collected everything from all the grinding discs in the city, and shot them outward.
If it were as usual, Zhun Ta would definitely burst into laughter and scolded with disdain: "It's really a poor donkey, even this kind of backward weapon has been used, and he is not afraid of people's jokes?" ”
True, catapults are outdated. This weapon was invented by a strategist under Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms, and it was very sharp on the battlefield at that time, and it played a very important role in both field battles and fortifications, so it was given a majestic name by the people at that time - Thunderbolt.
After the Three Kingdoms, this weapon was widely used on the battlefield and has undergone many improvements. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, there were even gravity stone throwers, return cannons, counterweight trebuchets, counterweight trebuchets, and other demonic weapons like giants.
Of course, there are also people who make a smaller version of the catapult, which is directly mounted on the camel's body, so that it has good mobility.
Unfortunately, with the advent of artillery, this kind of weapon, which is inconvenient to move and of very poor quality, has gradually been eliminated and has become a kind of legend because it has no practical value
。
Nowadays, it is funny that such old antiques are made in the city.
However, when he encountered this thing on the battlefield, Zhun Ta couldn't laugh.
When the grinding disc fell, there was a loud sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shook, and layers of yellow smoke and dust rose from the ground. One after another, ladders, chariots, watchtowers, and arrow towers were directly smashed, and under such big stones, everything was like a toy.
Many Han soldiers who were filling in the river were directly smashed into meat sauce, and the flesh and blood turned into juice and flowed into the moat.
The Han army was frightened, and ran back in a panic, knocking the follow-up troops into chaos, and even the overseers who went up to maintain order were instantly swallowed up by the crazy flow of people.
Seeing that the army was trampled by the chaotic army so inexplicably, Zhun Ta was furious, and ordered the cavalry to go out and cut back the retreating army with a knife.
It was at this time that a millstone fell over the walls and to the ground.
The position of this grinding disc landing is also strange, and it does not directly hit the ground, but rolls forward vertically, plunging into the herd.
A Jianzhou rider was directly run over by a person with a horse, and before he had time to scream, he turned into a puddle of rotten meat.
The horses were startled and leaped in all directions, causing the team to become more and more confused.
……
In this way, after a day of onslaught, none of the Qing army was able to climb the wall of Huai'an City.
According to the captives, the person who designed this catapult was the new Huai'an prefect Hao Xiaoren, who was said to be a strategist under Sun Yuan, and a ghost warrior like Jia Wenhe. No, judging from his character, he is more like the military Chen Palace under Lu Bu. Liu Chun, the brute who killed his father and brother, is Lu Fengxian, a slave with the third surname.
I heard that in order to get this kind of catapult, the plague surnamed Xiao also opened the library of the Huai'an Xuezheng Yamen and checked the ancient books. The stone thrower built is the Tang Army system, which is called a weight-based trebuchet.
"This damn Hao Xiaoren, villain!" At the end of the day, Zhun Ta only felt that his body was shaking and weak, and he clenched his teeth: "I want to persevere, I want to persevere, I can't fall!"
