Duduo, Luo Luohun and other Eight Banners nobles soon discovered something was wrong.
"Prince Yu, that's not right." Luo Luohun said, "It seems that the red cannon really can't hit the Ming army's gun platform?"
Previously, they heard from Bai Yintu and Ao Bai that the red cannons could not hit the cannon towers built by the Ming Army. They did not believe it yet, thinking that as long as the Ming army's cannon towers were built on the ground, how could they still be unable to hit them?
But now the hard facts are before them, and they can't help but not believe it.
"Go." Duduo whipped Fan Chengmo and cursed, "Bring King Zhishun to me."
"Hey!" Fan Chengmo shouted and ran away. After a while, he came back quickly with Shang Kexi.
After Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming became prisoners of the Dashun Army, Shang Kexi became the chief artillery instructor of the Qing court. Now all artillery is under his control.
Duduo said: "King Zhishun, what happened to the red cannon?"
Shang Kexi said helplessly: "Prince Yu, I believe you have all seen that the berm blocks the red cannon's firing range, so we must first clear the berm in front of the Ming army's gun platform, otherwise no matter how many cannons are fired, it will be useless."
"Is this so?" Duduo frowned and pondered for a moment, then ordered Fan Chengmo, "Slave dog, go and organize the wrapping with the white flag now, bring the tools and dig out the slope protection!"
"Hey!" Fan Chengmo agreed and left awkwardly.
For Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, nothing would be better than staying in Duduo's presence.
Duduo then waved to Li Guohan, the Han army with the blue flag, Gushan Ezhen, to come over, and then said: "Li Guohan, you bring 3,000 Han troops and 200 sidecars to protect the coated slaves who are digging the earth."
Duduo doesn't care about the life or death of his slaves, but he cares about time and victory or defeat.
In order to capture Xuzhou as soon as possible and capture Chongzhen alive, it is better to protect these dog slaves.
Moreover, if too many coats with white flags die, it will inevitably affect this year’s spring plowing, which is not good either.
So, under the cover of three thousand Han troops with blue flags and two hundred sidecars, Fan Chengmo led more than five thousand coated slaves with white flags to the outermost slope protection.
Immediately, he wielded the shovel and hoe to excavate the slope protection.
But the good times did not last long, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon of the Ming Army's artillery unit soon launched an artillery bombardment.
The distance from the outermost slope protection to the twelfth-layer gun platform is only fifty or sixty steps, and the distance to the tenth-layer gun platform is less than four hundred steps, so the tiger squatting cannon of the third-layer gun platform can hit the dugout.
Pohu's coating.
The working surface width of Fan Chengmo and more than 5,000 coaters is about one mile.
Therefore, at least 30 squatting tiger cannons from 15 or more gun stations can hit them.
On average, each Tiger Crouching Cannon was loaded with 100 5-cent heavy lead bullets and a 30-liang-weight closed stone bullet. Therefore, every time the Ming army fired a cannon, 3,000 lead bullets and 30 closed-mouthed bullets fell on the coating.
working surface.
These coatings don't have a stomach, not even the cheapest cotton armor, they only wear a jacket.
Therefore, with every shelling by the Ming army, at least hundreds of Baoji were injured or even killed. Baoji who were hit by 30 taels of heavy-duty bullets were often killed on the spot.
This is because the artillery quality of the Ming army is not high enough.
Otherwise, the number of casualties would have been much higher.
But even so, these coatings can't stand it.
However, Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, inherited the IQ of his father, Fan Wencheng, and was quite clever.
Seeing that one coat after another was injured or even killed, Fan Chengmo suddenly thought of an idea.
"Hey, generals of the Ming Dynasty." Fan Chengmo hid in the back of the sidecar and shouted towards the gun platform opposite, "We are all Han people in western Liaoning. We are forced to do it. We really have no choice."
"If we don't come here, the slave builders will kill our wives and children."
"I hope that for the sake of our common ancestors, you won't hit us."
Needless to say, it was really effective. After Fan Chengmo shouted a few times, the gun tower on the opposite side stopped shelling.
As soon as the other coatings saw that they were effective, they also shouted loudly. Then soon, the Ming army on the opposite gun platform stopped shelling one after another, and the sound of artillery fell silent.
The only sound left was the sound of the slaves digging.
Fan Chengmo and others dug even harder.
…
The changes in the Ming army quickly attracted the attention of Duduo and other Eight Banners nobles.
"What's going on?" Duduo asked in astonishment, "Why didn't the Ming army on the opposite gun platform stop fighting? Could it be that all the gunpowder and lead were used up?"
"Probably not." He Luo said fluently, "This is how long the fight lasted."
Gurmahun, who had just become the flag master, said, "I'll go ask."
After a while, Gurma Hui came back to Duduo and reported: "Prince Yu, it was Fan Chengmo, a dog slave, who came up with a brilliant idea, saying that they are all Han people in western Liaoning, and they were all captured to work.
Yes, after hearing this, the Ming army on the opposite side stopped beating them."
After saying this, he said flatteringly: "Prince Yu is Prince Yu after all. Even the servants in the palace have learned so much from Prince Yu. They are all like Zhuge Liang. It's really incredible."
He Luohui rolled his eyes when he heard this, saying to himself that he was so flattering that he even lost his face.
You lick Prince Yu, just lick Prince Yu, but you even licked a clothed slave, that's despicable.
"Really, this dog slave is so thoughtful?" Duduo was also a little surprised.
Gu Ermahun continued: "Master, without the harassment of the Ming army's squatting cannons, the coated slaves can work much faster. According to the current progress, the outermost slope protection will be cleared before noon, and then the outermost slope protection will be cleared.
When you get down, you should leave it to us, Zhenglan Banner, right? Five days ago, we, Zhenglan Banner, suffered a big loss, and we must get our position back today."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you Zhenglan Qi." Duduo nodded happily.
…
At this point, Chongzhen also noticed something was wrong.
"Why did the sound of artillery stop?" Chongzhen, who was still talking to Li Xiangjun just now, turned around, raised his telescope again and pointed it at the 12th gun platform in the southwest, and found that the tiger crouching cannons on the gun platform had indeed stopped firing.
"Lu Banban." Chongzhen turned his attention to Lu Jiude, the only eunuch who remained in front of him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You sent people to the front to ask, how did you ask? Why did the Crouching Tiger Cannon stop shelling?"
"Old slave, take the order." Lu Jiude did not send anyone else, and went down the mountain in person to interrogate him on the tenth stage of the gun platform.
Less than an hour later, Lu Jiude returned to the ninth peak: "Your Majesty, I asked clearly. They said that the people cleaning up the slope protection on the other side were Han people from western Liaoning, and the soldiers could not bear to beat them."
"Hutu! Those Han people in western Liaoning are just indoctrinators! They are all the lackeys of the Jiannu!"
Chongzhen said angrily: "All the Han people in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning have been killed by the Jiannu, and the rest are all slaves who surrendered to the Jiannu. They are all scum who have forgotten their ancestors!"
"Pass an order, the border troops in every town must keep their eyes open for me."
"Anyone who claims to be a Han citizen in western Liaoning or even a Han citizen in Beizhi and Henan, and wants to dig the slope protection in front of the cannon platform, is undoubtedly a Jiannuo. The border troops in each town should immediately fire artillery to kill them!"
After a pause, he added: "There must be no mercy or mercy."
There is really no need to be merciful here. If there is even a hint of mercy, the slaves will catch them and exploit them.
Ever since Lao Nu raised his troops, Jiannu has driven Han people to attack the city. He also used this cruel and shameless method to capture many fortresses in Liaodong, so he should not be lenient.
The softer you are, the more likely it is that the nearby Han people will suffer.
Because after Jiannu tasted the benefits, he would capture more Han people.
Only by being ruthless and killing people hard enough to make Jiannu realize that arresting Han people is of no use will they give up arresting more Han people to serve as human shields, so that more Han people can be protected.
…
Back and forth, nearly two hours have passed.
At exactly the right time, the Ming army's cannon tower, which had been silent for almost two hours, suddenly fired again.
As pieces of lead rained down on the wrapping heads while they were working, the wrapping slaves with white flags once again appeared dead and injured, and people were dying almost every minute and every second.
From midnight to noon, more than 500 people were killed or wounded in just one hour.
At least one hundred of them were killed directly, and more than two hundred were seriously injured.
Duduo's heart was unmoved. To him, and even to every bannerman, Baoyi was just a big animal that could walk upright on two legs and talk. It would be dead if it died, and then go to the Han Dynasty.
Land plunder is.
It's true that six-legged animals are hard to find, but two-legged animals are everywhere.
However, Fan Chengmo, this traitor, was so smart that he actually made him think of another way.
Fan Chengmo asked Li Guohan to move the side truck to the end of the slope protection to provide shelter for the coater, and then dig vertically under the cover of the side truck. First, he dug a trench more than ten feet deep, and then dug forward in a zigzag pattern.
, relying on this method, it was really easy to avoid the attack of the Ming army's squatting artillery.
At noon, the outermost slope protection of Xuzhou's defense line was covered with white flags and a huge gap with a width of more than 300 steps was cleared. The five gun platforms in the gap were directly exposed to the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon.
Down.
…
Seeing the Hongyi cannon firing directly at the gun platform, Chongzhen was also a little confused. How could it be possible?
Is Jiannu possessed by Li Yunlong? Can he actually think of using soil work to avoid the attack of Crouching Tiger Artillery?
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange, because Jiannu has been very good at earthworks from the beginning, and during the Huang Taiji era, he even used earthworks to surround Ningyuan and Jinzhou.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Zheng Sen and other scholars also realized the hidden worries, frowned and said, "This is going to be a bit troublesome."
It is indeed a bit troublesome. Jiannu can use earthworks to destroy the outermost slope protection. Naturally, he can also use earthworks to destroy the subsequent eleven slope protections. It is even possible to directly use earthworks to destroy the outermost slope.
The two cannon platforms started to destroy, while the Ming army on the cannon platform could only watch.
If a counterattack were launched, Jiannu would probably be eager to do so.
If you leave the gun platform and fight in the field, you will definitely not be able to defeat Jiannu.
