Fan Wencheng finally understood that this seemingly rude guy behind him was actually very cunning. If he fell into his hands, there was no hope of returning alive. In fact, he had been prepared to die this time when he went south. The Qing Dynasty was troubled internally and externally, and suffered from droughts for many years.
, Korea and Mongolia are both seemingly in harmony with each other, and there are many big figures with hidden agendas in the capital. If this southern expedition fails again, then the Qing Dynasty's power in the customs will be over.
If the plan is correct, the granary in the rear of the Ming army in Teng County has been burned. Now what Prince Rui has to do is to hold off the defenders of Yanzhou, use all his strength to eliminate the enemy troops in the East and West Camps, and cut off the big crab in Yanzhou City.
Two giant pincers, and then concentrated the entire army to conquer Yanzhou and destroy the Xuzhou army.
Once the Xuzhou Army is eliminated, everything will be smooth sailing below. The Southern Army is timid and there are not many troops as brave as the Xuzhou Army. Now is the critical moment of the battle, and there must be no mistakes.
Just now, Prince Rui made a mistake. He originally took advantage of the fact that there was no general in charge of the East and West Camps, and combined with the sneak attack at night, the chance of winning was still high. However, in order to get me back, Prince Rui just ordered the withdrawal of troops. Prince, oh Prince, that decisive and resolute man in the early years
Where has Brother Fourteen gone? Now he is willing to give up the victory he is about to win for the life of a mere Hanchen! Fan Wencheng was moved but also regretful.
Liu Ziguang has seen through his method of provoking generals. Instead of living like this to influence the prince's determination, he might as well ask for death, fulfill his family's everlasting reputation and eliminate the prince's worries. I hope the prince can remember that he was half-hearted when Jinan Mansion practiced it.
He joked, "If we can't return north safely from this trip, please ask the prince to build a bronze statue for me in the capital, so that I can watch the Qing Dynasty bring good weather and all the nations come to court."
Having made up his mind, he took advantage of the fact that the two soldiers behind him were engaged in a scolding battle and had no time to think about it. He suddenly kicked off his feet and walked straight through the crenellations of the city wall.
This was what Dorgon saw from the telescope. If he fell from the city wall several feet high, he would definitely die. Countless ladders, crashed cars, and trucks rushed towards Yanzhou City, and the sound of killing was loud. The people who rushed up this time
They were all elite Eight Banners soldiers who were about to capture Yanzhou and massacre the city in three days.
What the Ming army was least afraid of was the Qing army attacking the city. They were a little panicked just now without a commander-in-chief. Now the commander-in-chief is by his side. There are piles of arrows, rolling logs, and hammered stones in the city. There are also boiling oil, fierce fire oil, iron caltrops, etc.
A variety of defensive weapons were prepared to prevent the Qing army from attacking.
The Qing troops who rushed forward did not get any advantage, but still moved forward bravely. Some of them were hit by several arrows and still persisted in retreating. They brandished their special ladder knives and tried to climb up the city wall through the thrown flying tiger claws and ladders.
There were 80,000 Ming troops in Yanzhou City. The two armies were of equal strength, with sophisticated weapons and sufficient morale. Therefore, the Qing army attacked for a long time with no results and only left corpses all over the ground.
Fan Wencheng, who originally thought he was certain to die, jumped down from the city wall. As soon as he jumped out, Liu Ziguang, who had quick eyes and quick hands, reached down and grabbed his ankles. He then lifted the little old man's withered body up with all his strength, "Don't be in a hurry.
Die, a traitor like you must be punished according to the law, and you cannot die so casually." Liu Ziguang said.
"Tie him up and gag him. Even a bad old man can't stand it. I'll kill you next time if something goes wrong!" Hearing General Liu's reprimand, the two soldiers gritted their teeth and tied Fan Wencheng tightly.
There were also two smelly socks peeled off his feet stuffed inside. Now he no longer had the ability to bite his tongue and commit suicide. He could only lie on the city wall and listen to the screams of the Qing soldiers below. Fan Wencheng was worse off than dead!
Ten Muscles and Cartilage Powder is originally a fast-acting incapacitating medicine. It was originally used by the flower-picking thieves in the world to deal with Zhenlie women. There is no antidote to save it. The medicine will naturally lose its effectiveness after sitting quietly for half an hour. Now it takes half an hour.
After that, Yuan Chonghuanzu Dashu Mangui and others have restored their original ability to act, and the battle plan has been planned.
Yuan Chonghuan relied on the high walls of the city and sufficient military supplies and equipment. His original plan was to use strong logistical force to overwhelm the Qing army. However, now that the Tengxian granary has been destroyed, it will take a long time to wait for the rear to transfer food and grass. This strategy should be timely
Changed, now the entire Qing army has shrunk to Yan
In front of the city, illuminated by torches all over the mountains and Kongming lanterns all over the sky, the densely packed Qing army was estimated to number at least 70,000 to 80,000 men, including Manchu Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners, and Green Camp soldiers. The soldiers had different costumes, different affiliations, and different languages. It was late at night again.
, it is the best time to implement the Tianzihao plan.
This Tianzihao plan was an extremely vicious battle plan that was formulated by Yuan Chonghuan, the owner of Peng Factory, who was far away in the Liguo Iron Works, and sent technicians to construct it. The secret construction began before the Qing army reached Yanzhou, specifically waiting for
This was carried out when Dorgon personally led a large-scale siege of the city. Usually the siege party had to hide within the firing range of the defender.
Command and troop deployment and assembly are carried out outside the area. The current position of Dorgon Station is just outside the range of Yanzhou's steam crossbow. Under the prince's apricot yellow loose cover are Prince Qingrui, Sony, Obai and other generals.
, surrounded by elite Goshihar guards, and more than a dozen flag officers with various colored flags on their waists waiting to deliver the prince's military orders.
Just under their feet were carefully constructed pipelines and huge air bags. The gas transmission pipelines, made of two bricks and lined with iron pipes, were buried under the surface, just like the sewers of later generations, and were connected to the gas generators in the city.
And the biogas production tank, the gas produced over such a long time, the biogas was blown into the huge air bag outside the city with the bellows, presumably the big tung oil-sealed bag buried in the ground was already full.
There are iron brackets and wooden boards above the air bag, and there are pots filled with strong fire oil around it. There are a lot of caltrops scattered on it. It is also paved with soil and planted with turf. Even the Qing army's construction trucks can't drive up there.
It will collapse, not to mention a few horses, hundreds of people
Now, Dorgon's position is directly above the skin. That position was chosen by Yuan Chonghuan himself. Standing there is the most suitable place to direct the siege of Yanzhou. It does not affect morale by being too far back, nor too far forward.
Suddenly threatened by Lian Nu.
Dorgon had always avoided using one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths, but today he wanted to avenge Fan Xian, secondly because his morale was available, and thirdly because the Qing army did not have much food and grass. Even if it could
Buy part of it at a high price from Miao Kejian
For an army of hundreds of thousands, it is a drop in the bucket. It is spring, and after a winter of consumption, not to mention the farmers on the land of Shandong are impoverished, and even the wild animals in the woods have little oil and water. Because of this, a quick victory is necessary.
.
There are as many as eight fuses leading to the air bag. This is specially arranged to avoid flameout midway. Each fuse has been soaked in strong kerosene seven or forty-nine times and dried in the sun. It is absolutely
It won't go out once it's lit, and there are ventilation holes along the way to ensure the supply of oxygen.
, after the fuse burned out, the extremely thick iron gates were immediately closed to prevent the explosion from reaching the city. Following Yuan Chonghuan's order, eight fuses were lit simultaneously in an extremely hidden house under the city wall.
The air bags are fired to the outside of the city through two different pipelines.
The sound of killing under the Yanzhou City was still loud. The Qing army's carriages were built extremely high, and the sharp archers were hidden on top to suppress the Ming army on the city wall. The Eight Banners soldiers rushed to the city and tried their best to shoot upwards to cover the brothers who were climbing the city.
The ladder soldiers put their round iron shields on their heads,
Climbing up quickly with the ladder knife in their mouths, their comrades beside them were shot by crossbows, hit by rocks, and splashed with boiling oil. They were unmoved at all. They just climbed up mechanically. Only by climbing to the top of the city could they do it.
Only by avenging your brothers can you die a worthy death.
Who said that we, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, could only fight in the wilderness, whether it was deep trenches, high walls, or rapid rapids and dangerous mountains, we, the Eight Banners athletes, were as comfortable as walking on plain ground. We must conquer Yanzhou tonight!
Dorgon's blood boiled with excitement when he saw it, and he urged his horse forward to get closer to the commanding officer. Sony and Ao Bai persuaded him that the prince's apricot yellow umbrella cover and large banner must not be missed. This is where the morale of the army lies. The prince himself must not make any mistakes.
We have already lost Mr. Fan, and we cannot lose Prince Rui again.
Seeing the strong opposition from his subordinates, Dorgon had no choice but to give up, but he came up with a compromise plan, which was to beat the drums in person to cheer up, and also sent Obai to take command, while Sony was in charge of the central army.
The light of the fuse disappeared in the tunnel, and the most powerful light cavalry of the death battalion also began to change their clothes. The captured Zhengbaiqi armor came in handy, waiting for the explosion to rush out and make the chaotic situation even more chaotic. Liu
The spectrum was so big that he wanted to stand on the city wall and watch the big explosion. Such a spectacular scene was rare in a century.
Dorgon boarded the cart with the war drums, waved two drumsticks, and beat the huge cowhide war drum. Prince Rui's arm strength was amazing, and the sound of the drums spread throughout the battlefield. The morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly boosted, and they launched an even more violent attack.
Attack, suddenly arrows rained down from the top of Yanzhou City,
Some brave Qing soldiers actually climbed up the city wall despite the fierce arrows and stones, and wielded their short and capable ladder knives to cut down the Ming army's archers. Yuan Chonghuan's expression did not change, and he waved his flag, and a group of spearmen came over and stabbed the Qing army.
After falling down, blood flowed all over the city wall.
According to the burning speed of the fuse, it was estimated that it would explode soon, but both Obai and Dorgon were away from the explosive center position. Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but feel anxious. Once the fuse was lit, it could not be stopped, and he didn't know how powerful the explosion would be.
If you can blow one up, then that's it.
The fuse made of dried hemp was soaked in fire oil several times and became extremely flammable. It quickly burned out of the city in the dry pipes paved with lime. After leaving the city, all pipes were immediately blocked to prevent explosive gas.
The surge came over, and eight lines of fire burned near the air bag at the same time. They first ignited the fierce fire oil preset outside the air bag. The high flames rolled around the outer layer of the air bag. The sheepskin air bag was quickly burned through, and a large amount of gas was released.
, biogas, the explosive gas mixed with air will burn immediately in a hundredth of a second when it encounters a flame. The gas produced by the rapid combustion expands rapidly and is a thousand times larger than the original volume of the air bag. The small underground space cannot accommodate it for a while.
With such a large amount of explosive gas, they need to expand crazily in all directions. Of course, the solid earth can withstand this impact, so all the power explodes towards the ground.
