Chapter 1028: Besieging Shunde Mansion
It's all at this juncture, where will Xu Yifan be polite to the Qing army, Xu Yifan is a tiger, either he doesn't make a move, and if he makes a move, then he must see blood, and now that he has stretched out his minions, he will naturally not take it back.
Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng led the main force of the Tianwei Army and the two towns of Nanjing, and went straight to Shunde Mansion, just one day, Shunde Mansion was surrounded, and 20,000 cavalry will Shunde Mansion for a water, however, it is not easy to take Shunde Mansion with cavalry alone, after all, although Shunde Mansion is only an inferior mansion, far inferior to Zhending and Daimyo, but the city wall is also tall, there is no artillery, and the city is forcibly attacked, but I am afraid that the cavalry casualties in the hands will be at least more than half.
Only a day later, the Tianwei Army and the infantry of the two towns on the left and right of Nanjing also rushed up from the rear, the first town, the third town, the fifth town, Tongzhou Town, Nanjing Left Town, Nanjing Right Town, six military towns, together the strength of nearly 100,000 people, and there were nearly 100 artillery pieces alone!
At the head of the city of Shunde Mansion, Ao Bai and Ni Kan looked at the countless red-clothed artillery under the city from a distance, and couldn't help but gasp, I drip, my God, the small Shunde Mansion has attracted such a strong Tianwei army and the three towns of Nanjing, so many artillery!
"I'm a mother, General Aobai, this artillery, this artillery is only afraid of hundreds of guns, don't say the small Shunde Mansion, even the capital can't stand the attack of so many artillery, right?"
Nikan is about to cry, this Shunde Mansion is too sinister, right......
Ao Bai said angrily: "Lord Wang, what are you talking about!" Now that the Ming army is besieging the city, it is the time when our morale is at its lowest, if you, the prince, are the first to be grassy, then how the hell will the next big war be fought? Prince Yu and Prince Zhuang also pointed to us in Shunde Mansion to stop the Tianwei Army and buy time for them to capture Zhending Mansion. ”
Ni Kan's heart trembled, although he was the king of the county, and his status was far beyond that of Ao Bai, but on the battlefield, Ao Bai was the first warrior in Manchuria, with a fierce momentum, except for Duoduo and Azig, no one could bear it, and even Ni Kan had to retreat.
"So, what then? We don't even have a single artillery piece now, can we withstand it? The Ming army outside fired 10,000 cannons, and we all had to be blown up into scum......"
Nikan has now been beaten and, and has completely lost the confidence and courage to charge, and his body is soft like dough.
"If you can't stand it, you have to top it!"
Ao Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Wang, now it's all up to us, but we still have 20,000 troops under our hands, we can't fight, pull those young people up, the knife is on the neck, they don't want to defend the city!" Anyway, in a word, Shunde Mansion must be defended to the death! ”
While Ao Bai and Ni Kan were talking, outside Shunde City, nearly a hundred artillery pieces had begun to attack!
Xu Yifan gave an order, six artillery battalions, all pulled up, put into the attack, in an instant, the shells were like flying locusts, overwhelming, accompanied by the rumbling cannon, flew to the head of Shunde City, and fell on the city wall of Shunde Mansion, smashing the city wall out of a big pit, and some even flew directly into the city, smashing the houses in the city, the south city of Shunde Mansion was full of gunsmoke, and the flames were soaring into the sky!
On the top of the city, not only Ni Kan was frightened, but the Qing army defending the city was also pale and full of panic, and the Manchurian cavalry didn't know what it meant to be afraid when facing the opponent, but in the face of this rushing shell, there was no one who was not afraid, not to mention being hit head-on, even if it was smashed by the shells, the flying bricks and stones could beat people half to death......
There were screams from the head of Shunde Mansion, and many unlucky Manchurian cavalry were covered in blood and miserable.
As soon as he came up, Xu Yifan ordered the artillery to carry out two hours of artillery bombardment, and after half a day, the Ming army fired at least 2,000 shells at Shunde Mansion, and the city wall of Shunde Mansion was full of bullet marks, and there were dense craters, and even some wall buttresses were directly smashed out by cannonballs!
However, it is impossible to take Shunde Mansion by relying on artillery bombardment alone, after all, the 20,000 Qing troops want to annihilate them all by relying on artillery bombardment, so I don't know how many shells will be wasted.
"Order, the musket battalion went out of formation, moved forward, shot at the head of Shunde Mansion, suppressed the defense of the Qing army, and the infantry battalion attacked and stormed Shunde Mansion!"
Xu Yifan saw that the artillery was almost fired, and gave a new order with a cold face.
Several musket battalions attacked at the same time, and began to press towards Shunde Mansion step by step, and began to shoot in turns, behind them were infantry battalions waiting to attack!
The bullets in the sky rushed to the face, although it was not as earth-shaking as the artillery just now, but the power was even more than the artillery just now, and the Manchurian cavalry at the head of the city did not even dare to show their heads, for fear that the bullets that would not be long-sighted would be nailed to their heads, in that case, they would not be able to eat anything.
Attack, attack!
Seeing that the soldiers of Manchuria were suppressed by muskets, a group of Tianwei army infantry began to launch a fierce offensive towards the city head of Shunde Mansion, and thousands of troops poured up like a tide, carrying the ladder of the siege and rushing up!
Nikan had already run to the back by now, and all the city defenses in the south were in the hands of Ao Bai and Wu Sangui.
Aobai's heart is extremely heavy, and he keeps it for ten days and half a month! This is the order given to himself by Prince Yu, but he can really hold it for ten days and half a month, and he doesn't even have much confidence in his heart, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, and in just half a day, hundreds of casualties have been caused to the Qing army, which is still the elite of the Ming army has not launched a direct attack, and now the elite infantry of the Ming army has begun to act, and greater casualties are still waiting for themselves!
That's it, do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, it's useless to talk more now, do it!
Ao Bai and Wu Sangui began to command the Qing army to fight back, after all, it was just starting to attack, and the city head was dominated by the elite of the yellow flag, although the Tianwei army was fierce, but if you want to attack the city in one day, how easy is it?
Under the city of Shunde Mansion, the army of the Ming and Qing dynasties launched a tragic battle, just at dusk, the city head was already full of the corpses of the soldiers on both sides, and the stalemate of the war made both sides pay a huge price!
