"All two thousand soldiers guarding the city were killed! Shao Yi, a thousand households, died in battle!"
Li Dashan was slightly stunned when he heard his subordinate's words.
He put down the telescope in his hand and glanced at the men beside him.
After a long silence.
"knew!"
Li Dashan sighed slightly.
Unexpectedly, the Manchu and Qing offensive was so sharp. Although Yuancheng was only a small city next to Daming Mansion, Li Dashan did not expect that this small city could block the Manchu and Qing attack.
Unexpectedly, actually...
I couldn’t even hold on for a day!
Shao Yi was also an officer with a calm personality, but he didn't expect to die in battle like this!
After a moment of silence, Li Dashan said to the surrounding guards: "Notify everyone, get ready to fight!"
"Yes! General!"
Soon, the people nearby quickly dispersed.
Start quickly notifying the surrounding soldiers.
On the city wall, not all the soldiers, some of them are sleeping now. They are responsible for the night watch, so they have to sleep now.
This is something that has been discussed before. All soldiers work in two shifts.
In this way, the soldiers on night shift can concentrate as much as possible and easily discover that the enemy is coming to lay out explosives or steal the camp!
The soldiers around him became nervous.
Duduo was riding on the horse, looking at Daming Mansion not far away, with a solemn look in his eyes.
Daming Mansion is not an ordinary place, it is not that easy to break!
"go ahead!"
Duduo shouted to the soldiers on the side.
The surrounding soldiers began to slowly advance forward.
Trebuchets, siege engines, and red cannons were all brought out. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was determined to capture Daming Mansion!
There is no way, Daming Mansion can now be regarded as an extremely important strategic location!
It affects the entire territory of Henan and most of Anhui!
If all of Daming Mansion is occupied, then all those soldiers will be surrounded and cannibalized. It is only a matter of time!
Therefore, Daming Mansion must be captured!
This is the death order given by Dorgon when Dodo came!
Obai led his soldiers and rushed to the front.
Originally, he was the main force in attacking Daming Mansion, but he did not expect that all the prefectures and counties in Daming Mansion would fall into the hands of the enemy so quickly.
Then the situation would be completely different. Originally, we only needed to send Oboi to besiege the prefectures and counties around Daming Mansion.
Moreover, the prefectures and counties surrounding Daming Mansion also had Manchu troops stationed there, but if they all fell.
The difficulty of attacking has skyrocketed!
And the strategic significance suddenly skyrocketed!
So Dorgon quickly mobilized elites.
And Oboi, who was originally the head coach, has now become a pioneer.
Because Prince Dodo became the coach of this battle.
Soon, the Green Camp soldiers rushed to the city wall.
"Fire!"
On the city wall, looking at the Green Camp soldiers who were very close to the city wall, Li Dashan did not hesitate at all and shouted loudly to the many soldiers on the side.
"Bang bang bang!"
On the city wall, thousands of guns fired in unison, and all the artillery beside them also fired!
Almost instantly, Green Camp suffered heavy casualties.
On the other side, the trebuchets and red cannons began to slowly advance forward.
Li Dashan saw this scene through the telescope, and he quickly came to the artilleryman on the side.
"Aim at the red cannon and trebuchet next to you!"
Li Dashan said with a serious face to the soldiers on the side.
"Yes! General!"
The soldiers nearby quickly began to turn their guns, and all began to aim at the trebuchets and red cannons nearby.
However, because the distance between the red cannon and the trebuchet is too far, the probability of these shells hitting is too low.
On the contrary, it is the local red cannon and trebuchet, because accuracy does not need to be considered.
They fired at the top of the city wall to their heart's content.
Many of them hit the city wall directly, creating a hole.
A few cannonballs landed on the city wall, killing several soldiers.
A tragic battlefield!
After the Green Camp soldiers lost hundreds of people, many soldiers had already rushed to the city wall, and long ladders were quickly driven up.
Built on the city wall.
These green camp soldiers, armed with shields and long knives, began to quickly climb up the city wall.
Rolling logs and rocks kept moving towards the bottom of the city wall.
Even with shields blocking them, these Green Camp soldiers still suffered heavy casualties. The Green Camp soldiers who were killed fell down, taking the other soldiers under them with them.
But when the first one fell down, new soldiers quickly climbed up towards the front.
One after another.
The city walls were densely packed with the advancing figures of Green Camp soldiers.
Some soldiers began to set up siege chariots and began to continuously hit the city wall on the side.
"boom!"
The siege chariots were heavily mounted on the city walls.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Dashan's expression changed.
"Destroy the siege chariots!"
Li Dashan drank towards the soldiers beside him.
Soon, other soldiers on the side quickly began to sprinkle kerosene on the siege chariots from the top of the city wall, and then fired rockets.
"call!"
The flames filled the air instantly, and soon the siege chariot in front of them was completely enveloped in flames. Several soldiers around them were also ignited by the flames, and they let out heart-rending roars.
He stumbled towards the other Green Camp soldiers standing aside.
I wanted to ask for their help, but the surrounding Green Camp soldiers were unable to avoid them. Some of them who had no time to run were all ignited by the flames, and finally jumped into the moat.
But because the flames burned too much, his skin and flesh were torn apart, and he died in the river.
The death was extremely violent.
The destroyed siege chariot was just an interlude, the siege battle was still going on.
The densely packed green camp soldiers attacked Daming Mansion one after another.
As for the bannermen's cavalry, they were all put back.
Duduo was sitting on a horse, and behind him were all Manchu cavalry in armor!
These cavalrymen looked at the brutal siege not far away with expressionless faces.
The cavalry is not suitable for siege. The reason why more than 30,000 cavalry are brought here is naturally not to siege the city, but to cause the Second Guards Army to suffer heavy losses when they go out to fight in the city!
"The attack didn't go well!"
A trace of sigh flashed in Duduo's eyes, and he looked at a Han firearms expert standing aside. He was a firearms expert that Kong Youde had recruited from Dengzhou.
He studied under Sun Yuanhua. It can be said that the entire Qing Dynasty's firearms have a lot to do with this firearms expert.
"Master Lin, can the accuracy of this firearm be improved? We need to use artillery, and it is best to be able to bombard one place continuously and blow open the city wall!"
