Chapter 871: Siege of Jining Prefecture (1)

Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu ran fast, Azig and He Luohui and Wu Sangui caught up quickly, and soon caught up from behind, and immediately launched an attack on Jining and Yanzhou.

However, Azig underestimated Jining Prefecture, Jining is different from other cities, behind him is Weishan Lake, next to the Grand Canal, as a hub of Caoyun, Caoyun is developed, the water network is vertical and horizontal, want to besiege Jining, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, the Qing army has no water division, how can it launch an attack from Weishan Lake and the canal? The attack could only be launched from the west and the north, which meant that Jining's defensive pressure was much less.

Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu stood at the head of the city, watching the Qing army coming, their hearts were also not easy, looking at the city, the Qing army had at least sixty or seventy thousand cavalry, in addition to the cavalry, there were a lot of infantry, and even the artillery team behind, how long can the city wall of Jining Prefecture last? As for Yanzhou, Yanzhou's city defense is even inferior to Jining, at least Jining still has Weishan Lake as a barrier, Yanzhou Mansion, the Qing army is besieging on all sides, and it will be a lonely city at that time.

"Pass the order, pull all our artillery to the head of the city, place it in the west city and the north city, fight with all your might, and we must defend Jining Prefecture to the death!"

Song Jiaxing shouted.

After a short time, a red-clothed cannon was pulled up and placed at the head of the city.

Far away, the Qing army wrapped up the west city and the north city of Jining, and began to launch a fierce attack on the Tianwei army, Wu Sangui and Azig brought fifteen artillery pieces in one breath, all of them were put into the attack, and one shell continued to hit Jining City, falling on the city wall, and even some directly crossed the city wall, fell into the city, and smashed the houses in the city.

The Tianwei army also did not show weakness, the Qing army had fifteen artillery, Jining City plus the artillery of the Tianwei army, I am afraid that there would be forty guns, all of them were put into the big battle, especially the blossom run, the power was even greater, and the Qing army under the city launched a sharp counterattack, one shell after another came out of the disembowel, roaring straight to the camp of the Qing army.

As soon as it came up, it was a tragic artillery battle!

However, in comparison, the Qing army in front of the Tianwei army, the artillery power is really a small thing, the artillery of the Tianwei army, can be compared with the elite of the Western artillery, after Yuan Xiao's personal guidance, and even hidden a lot of advanced shooting technology, is really not the Qing army's two knives can be compared.

The position of the Qing army was beaten by the artillery of the Ming army, especially the power of the flowering cannon, which was even more amazing, once it exploded, the surrounding Qing army, whether it was infantry or cavalry, was definitely killed and wounded!

After a burst of artillery bombardment, the Manchurian infantry began to charge towards the city wall of Jining Prefecture, a group of cavalry and infantry began to charge up, the artillery of the Ming army sounded more violently, and constantly carried out a strong counterattack on the Manchurian cavalry, and one by one the infantry cavalry was directly blown up into the sky.

Fortunately, the current Manchurians have also learned wisely, and they no longer dare to launch a dense charge, and the formation is scattered, rushing towards the Ming army, and the role of artillery is much smaller.

Song Jiaxing frowned, and shouted: "Brother Yang, lead the elite cavalry out of the city, aim at their charging formation, give me a hard impact, remember, don't fall in love with the battle, fight a battle, and retreat immediately, as long as you can disrupt the rhythm of the cavalry charge in front of you!" ”

Yang Chengzu on the side agreed, waved the spear in his hand, and behind him, three thousand elite cavalry directly killed from the city, at this time, the Manchurian elite cavalry was scattered everywhere, the formation was loose, and it was constantly approaching the city, I didn't expect that at this time, the Tianwei army dared to go out of the city to fight, and then wanted to gather the formation, but it was not so easy, I could only watch a team of cavalry rush up, and fiercely inserted into the Manchurian cavalry, rampage, the unlucky Manchurian cavalry was beaten around, crying bitterly, Even if the Manchurian elite cavalry is fierce, and now it does not maintain the charging formation, facing a group of Tianwei army elite cavalry, it must suffer a big loss!

Behind him, Azig's face changed greatly, and he roared sadly: "Order, order the Artur cavalry in front to retreat, Tuhai and Chamutai lead the elite cavalry to attack, support the soldiers in front, outflank from both wings, and must kill the elite cavalry of the Tianwei army in front of you!" ”

Azig's reaction was not unpleasant, the Tianwei army's elite cavalry had just fought with the infantry in front, and Azig responded, however, from the response, to the two elite cavalry attack, it always took time, in a short period of time, the Manchurian infantry cavalry under the impact of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry, more than 300 casualties, like a tide to the back of the defeat, both sides, Tuhai and Chamutai's army also began to pounce.

Yang Chengzu laughed, and he accepted it when he saw it, anyway, he picked up the cheap, run!

Yang Chengzu gave an order, the Tianwei army quickly retreated to the rear, above the city, the musket battalion was already in full array, Tuhai and Chamutai had just approached, a burst of gunfire, the Manchurian cavalry was shot, and the dense bullets made the Manchurian cavalry extremely frightened, so they had to temporarily retreat.

The Azig in the back had a pale face, and now they have surrounded Jining City, and they are still suffering under the hands of the Tianwei Army, these Tianwei Army is really too hateful.

"Continue the shelling, the infantry is ready to assault again, this time, we maintain the formation of the charge, attack at full speed, we must hit the head of Jining City, attack!"

Azig changed his strategy and maintained a dense charging formation, your cavalry always had no chance to take advantage of it, even if you went to war, the king's Manchurian elite cavalry was not vegetarian, and I don't know who would knock whom down when the time came!

Above the city, Yang Chengzu came to Song Jiaxing's side and laughed: "Haha, brother, happy!" Rejoice! Shoot and run, they Tartars don't have a temper at all! The mood of taking advantage is cool! ”

"Big brother, don't be too happy, the Qing army has already begun to prepare for the attack again......"

Song Jiaxing sneered.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, just a moment, the Manchurian infantry cavalry launched an attack again, this time, the formation was compact, the cavalry was in front, maintaining an arrow formation, the infantry was behind, advancing rapidly, and then imagining a sneak attack like last time, it was already impossible.

"Fuck, this Azig is really treacherous......"

Yang Chengzu scolded fiercely.

Song Jiaxing smiled: "What are you afraid of? We have a chance, pass the order, all the musket battalions are pressed to the head of the city, and then shoot when they get closer, they are so dense in formation, that is a live target, let's just use them to practice accurately! ”
