Chapter 208: Civil Officials Guarding the City Law (4)
Chen Kai sat in front of the city gate tower. Lang Deng and Zhou Quanbin were responsible for the left wing of the north city wall and the other for the right wing of the north city wall. They immediately organized the Ming army's defense.
Under the city, the Qing army rushed over in Wuyang Wuyang. On the top of the city, the Ming army fired copper cannons, Folang machine guns, general cannons, second general cannons, and tiger squatting cannons. The Qing army hurriedly rushed towards the city.
Later, the attack level was obviously insufficient and the unit density was too high, which directly led to higher than normal casualties under the Ming army's artillery fire.
The sound of war drums was as urgent as the feeling of a horse winning a victory. The Qing army did not dare to hesitate at all, so they could not care too much. Without paying too much attention to the casualties, the Qing army rushed to the city.
The simple watchtowers were slowly pushed to a position where the shooters on them could inflict damage to the Ming army at the top of the city. Several of them had been destroyed by the Ming army. However, the shooters on these watchtowers inevitably interfered with the shooting of the defenders. Ming
The army's shooting, whether it was artillery, muskets, bows and crossbows, began to be deflected more towards these watchtowers. At this time, the Qing troops following the watchtowers shouted and ran towards the city wall holding up ladders.
And arrived.
There is no moat in the city of Zhongzuo, which is a big drawback. The Qing army went straight to the bottom of the city and immediately erected ladders and began to climb the city. These Qing soldiers were all veterans. They held a shield in their right hand and climbed with their feet in their left hand.
Don't dare to pause at all.
The Qing army's offensive had already entered a strong state at the very beginning. Lang Deng and Zhou Quanbin, who were on the city, did not need to think too much. They ordered the artillery and shooters to concentrate on attacking the watchtower, and at the same time, they moved up the city behind to assist.
The guardsmen were mobilized, and these men, who were so nervous that they could hardly breathe, followed the orders mechanically, lifted the rolling logs and stones high, and threw them down the ladder.
After throwing away the rolling logs and stones, the civilians who were assisting the defenders did not even care to see whether the Qing soldiers were killed by them. They hurriedly squatted down or fled backwards, but there were still many people who could not escape the Qing soldiers' shooting.
The next moment, another group of civilians who were assisting the defenders threw rolling wooden rocks downwards. Not far to the left of Chen Kai, the Qing army shot an arrow straight into his throat. The civilians fell down in response, and took the other defenders with him.
The civilians who had lifted up the rolling log were pressed down together, vomiting blood. But at this moment, the watchtower was bombarded by a copper gun from the other side, and after it penetrated two pillars, it could not be seen again.
Unable to bear the weight of himself and several Qing army shooters on the stage, he fell to the ground with a creaking sound...
The intensity of the battle at the first moment was something Chen Kai had not imagined in advance, but this time the offensive came fiercely and went away quickly. After a while, the ability to withstand casualties reached the limit, earlier than normal.
Then some Qing troops began to flee, and led more Qing troops to abandon the task of siege and the siege equipment.
In the distance, a watchtower facing Huangshu Gate collapsed amid the blazing fire, killing a Qing soldier who could not escape in the ruins.
Lang Deng and Zhou Quanbin arranged for their officers to continue setting up defenses, and then came to Chen Kai. The former immediately raised his hands and praised: "General, I have learned a lesson this time. Chen Canjun's method angered the Tatars and led them to
The attacks lacked layers, and they all rushed in seemingly with great force, but in fact, the casualties increased dramatically."
"Yes, and those words shouted will inevitably touch the hearts of the Tatars. If the mind cannot be focused, it will be even more difficult to concentrate on fighting on the battlefield."
Rather than angering the Qing army, it is actually more that Chen Kai has been trying to force Ma Degong to attack hastily. Facing Chen Kai's ridicule and scolding, Ma Degong can only respond with actual actions since he cannot retort.
To contain it, otherwise morale will drop, let alone winning.
Zhou Quanbin saw this point more clearly than Lang Deng, but the lack of attack level mentioned by Lang Deng was also the goal that Chen Kai needed to achieve. After a while, the Qing army seemed to be still preparing to attack.
Waves of siege equipment were brought up, and the Ming army had completed the defense change. Seeing this, Chen Kai picked up the iron trumpet, and then smiled.
"Commander Feng, I heard that your Governor Zhang is a man of good sex, good at weapons, and full of tricks. I am aware of the ancient custom of Longyang's cut sleeves, so I asked a storyteller in the city to write it specifically for you.
This life is called Daoxing in the Drought of Blood. Now I ask him to read the climax of the paragraph for you. Remember to pay him for the contribution..."
………………
"How dare this guy do this? When the city is destroyed, I will tear his mouth out!"
In one afternoon, the Qing army launched three offensives. Except for the first one, they all failed when the soldiers did not get better rest and even lacked siege equipment. They were ridiculed by Chen Kai and could not avoid the decline in morale if they did not attack.
He did not attack. Chen Kai disrupted his own rhythm three times in a row. When the last attack was launched, Ma Degong saw that he was going the wrong way, so he quickly ordered the money to retreat, and drove the soldiers back to camp to rest without even touching the city wall.
.
In fact, they have also seen that the supporting Suppression Town that defends the city can also withstand this Qing attack with its own combat effectiveness. It is indeed because they did not fight in Qianchong Town and Youchong Town.
The escape was careless. Chen Kai's small tricks only made them more uncomfortable and disgusting, making the Ming army's losses smaller, nothing more. It was just that Ma Degong and Feng Junrui originally had high hopes for this.
The strong attack on the first day ended in such a funny way. Even though the two of them had led troops for many years, they knew that victory or defeat was a common thing for soldiers, so they could not avoid the word anger.
"We have underestimated these pirates. We will rest for a day tomorrow and make full preparations. In addition, we will bring all the artillery here. We can't do it if we don't take it seriously."
Soldiers are a major matter for the country. After this battle, Ma Degong had put away his contempt for the Ming army and turned to look for a more reliable way to break the city. The Qing army received the order and began to build more siege equipment. At the same time,
Every effort was made to bring in slightly larger caliber artillery pieces that were still on the way and had not even traveled too far.
Ma Degong was making every effort to prepare. At the same time, he pointed out to his subordinates through officers at all levels that what Chen Kai mentioned on the loudspeaker was all nonsense and should not be taken to heart, which would affect the battle. He also further strengthened the seriousness of military law and restored the former
The original appearance of the Fujian green camp elite who were banned by the Communist Party of China.
After a day, everything was ready. Since the artillery arrived at night, Ma Degong gave the artillery crew some more time to rest, and nearly half of the army came to the city again at 10:00.
The Ming army on the city obviously used this day to repair the city defense to the maximum extent. Even the plum blossom piles outside the city were erected a lot, and they were completely prepared for the attack.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of the day before yesterday, Ma Degong didn't want to talk nonsense, and simply let the Qing army make the final preparations. However, at this time, Feng Junrui seemed to still have unresolved knots in his heart, so he might as well offer a treasure.
He took out an iron trumpet and showed it in front of Ma Degong.
"General Feng, can't you let me take this to fight with Chen Kai?"
Ma Degong frowned, obviously very dissatisfied, but if he thought about it carefully, Feng Junrui would actually have a hard time dealing with it. He was a close confidant of Zhang Xuesheng, and Zhang Xuesheng was so humiliated by Chen Kai. If he couldn't even make some actual counterattack
, then a "what do I need you for?" is enough to make Feng Junrui irrecoverable.
At this moment, seeing Ma Degong's dissatisfaction, Feng Junrui quickly explained. In his words, he had selected a soldier with a loud voice at the head of the camp who was best at swearing, and asked him to go forward and insult Chen Kai.
He even thought about the content. It was nothing more than Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong's "sexual love", and they were unclear about Dong Yougu. Chen Kai killed Zheng Zhiwan because Zheng Zhiwan discovered the secret between Chen Kai and Dong Yougu.
It sounds like it's all about the relationship between men and women, but actually it's just to find a place.
"General Feng, if we capture the Zhongzuo city, we will be able to get back the face we lost. We don't need to go to such trouble."
Having said that, Zhang Xuesheng's feelings had to be taken into consideration. After thinking about it for a while, Ma Degong asked Feng Junrui to give it a try, while he continued his preparations. However, when the capable person and stranger took the
He walked to the front of the two armies with a tin trumpet. Before he could say the first words, ten tin trumpets were placed one after another on the top of the city.
