Chapter 585: Bloody Battle of the Daimyo's Mansion (2)
The first wave of attacks was finally repelled by the Tianwei army, and the Tianwei army had just taken a breath, and the Qing army under the city launched a second attack again.
Groups of displaced people rushed towards the moat again, carrying sandbags on their shoulders, and some even recruited civilian carts, pushing sandbags, constantly pushing forward, vowing to fill the moat.
However, the artillery and bows and arrows of the Tianwei army were not vegetarian, and they were constantly firing downward, organizing the attack of the Qing army, and the blood flowed outside the Daimyo's mansion, and in just two days, at least twenty or thirty thousand displaced people threw their lives next to the moat.
"The dog said, you can't stop, you can't stop, just give this king such a beating, the sandbag is not enough, then fill it with a corpse, in a word, the moat must be completely filled for me, so that our elite can directly attack the city!
Duoduo roared angrily, the third day was about to pass, the combat power of the Tianwei army was not seen at all, it was still fierce and abnormal, the homeless people had already killed and injured more than half of them, and they still couldn't shake the Daimyo's mansion, and the huge casualties made Duoduo extremely annoyed.
As soon as the military ordered, under the persecution of the Manchurian cavalry butcher's knife, the impact of the displaced people was more violent, and the sandbags were not enough, so even the people kicked into the moat together, and then they were drowned by the people and sandbags behind, and some people even began to drag the corpses and throw them into the moat.
By the fourth day, the moat of the Daimyo's Mansion had been filled with sandbags and human heads, and now it was the middle of winter, and a large number of sandbags and corpses were filled, which reduced the water of the river and was directly frozen inside, and the Daimyo's Mansion was miserable and like hell.
Up to now, even the Tianwei army can only face the direct attack of the next Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Manchurian Elite Cavalry, the artillery on the city has only been fighting for two days, and it has to stop, the shells are limited, if the bombardment has not stopped, then where can it withstand such consumption? I'm afraid that the homeless people will die, and the cannonballs in the Daimyo's Mansion will be exhausted, but the next attack of the people is the highlight, the highlight of the main elite attack!
On the battlefield, a pair of Qing troops began to push siege vehicles, ladders began to attack again, under the cover of artillery fire, the Qing army continued to approach the city wall of the Daimyo's Mansion, more than 20 ladders began to be erected on the city wall, soldiers densely surrounded under the ladder one after another ready to climb the city, as the front end of the ladder a Qing army was smashed down, the Qing army behind continued to climb up, one after another, there were also individual Qing soldiers lucky to climb the city wall, but he did not have time to be happy, Immediately, the Tianwei army on the city wall will directly chop off the head of the city and fall to pieces!
Another day of tragic and fierce fighting, the Qing army still couldn't help the Tianwei army at the head of the Daimyo's Mansion, and let the Qing army launch a thunderous offensive, it was still useless, and the Daimyo's Mansion was still immovable!
"Lord Wang, if we attack like this, I'm afraid it's not a way, we have concentrated our forces in the north city, and similarly, the Tianwei army has also concentrated tens of thousands of elites here, we can't climb to the top of the city, so we will continue to stalemate, for a long time, I'm afraid that morale will not be guaranteed!"
Wu Sangui shouted urgently.
Duoduo nodded with a gloomy face, and said fiercely: "Since this is the case, then order the three armies to surround the entire Daimyo Mansion for me and attack from all sides, I want to see if the Tianwei Army can parry!" ”
Duoduo had to change his previous strategy, mainly attacking a city wall, the Qing army can only invest more than 10,000 troops at the same time, and the rest can only stare at the back, and even at most shoot arrows to help, tomorrow's refueling tactics, the Tianwei army can easily deal with it, and change to a siege on all sides, with 20,000 people in each direction entering the battle at the same time, so that the pressure faced by the Daimyo Mansion Tianwei Army is not like blocking the northern city alone.
The Yamen of the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, the faces of the generals are also very solemn, five or six days of attack, although the casualties of the Tianwei army are not serious, but the consumption is too great, the Qing army has not stopped, the number of displaced people invested alone has exceeded 70,000, and the casualties have exceeded 50,000, such huge casualties, so that the consumption of the Tianwei army's feather arrows, bullets, shells, rolling logs, and stones has risen sharply, especially the shells, even if the Tianwei army is fully prepared and has accumulated a lot of shells, but it can't stand such consumption. In five or six days, the stock of less than 5,000 shells will go down by more than half, and if it continues like this, it will be ten days at most, and the shells will have to be used up, and when the time comes, then it will really have to fill the hole with human lives.
"Yifan, if it continues like this, it's fatal, the siege of the Qing army is too fierce......"
Yang Chengzu's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes, in these six days alone, the casualties of our soldiers have been close to 2,000, in the future, our rolling wood, stone, shells, guns and bullets, the consumption will be even more severe, once it is exhausted, our casualties will increase significantly, not to mention holding for two months, even if it is enough to choke for a month, these Qing troops are like crazy, constantly attacking, yesterday and today are even more non-stop day and night, how can we stand it if we continue to fight like this?"
Xiao Ting said astringently.
Xu Yifan sneered: "What are you afraid of? We consume a lot, don't they consume a lot of Qing army? Behind us, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River will support us, but their Manchurian Tatars do not have such sufficient logistical supplies! ”
"But won't our supplies come up for a while? Now that the Qing army is surrounding us on all sides, even if we have logistics materials, it will be difficult to enter the Daimyo's Mansion smoothly......"
Xu Yifan smiled: "Don't worry, isn't it just a death battle?" Our army has been consumed, and it can be replenished, there are thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is effortless to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops, hum, the Manchurian Tartars are different, they are full of calculations, and even the girls and cubs are less than a million, if we can consume his Manchurian elite cavalry in the Daimyo's Mansion even if it is seventy or eighty thousand people, they will have to rest! We are fighting a war of attrition! The more lively we fought in the Daimyo's Mansion, the more difficult it was for the Tartars to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi, and the rebels everywhere, not to mention recruitment, even the military rations were trying to raise smoothly! ”
Yang Chengzu sighed and said with a wry smile: "Yifan, what you said is light, but just hold on like this?" Can our Tianwei Army afford it? Do you think that now the court is under the control of the emperor? That's because there is our Tianwei Army, none of them dare to move, if there is no Tianwei Army, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be political enemies, and it will be difficult for the emperor to sit firmly on the dragon chair......"
"Don't worry, don't we still have a bolt? The time is almost up, the morale of the Qing army has already dropped, and in two days, the investigation will be started! ”
