Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters thunder
Following Zu Dashou's order, the soldiers who had been urged by officers at all levels to attack the city breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retreated like the tide.
To be honest, it's not that these soldiers didn't work hard, but that the Qing soldiers were too cruel and cunning. The Qing soldiers stood on the other side of the city wall, waiting for them to climb up and shoot them to death with bows and arrows, even if they escaped with shields.
Those who were shot by arrows would also die under the swords and spears of the Qing soldiers.
Seeing the Dahua soldiers retreating so quickly, Hauge, who was guarding the city wall, was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. The depression of being defeated by the Dahua army a few days ago seemed to be swept away.
"These despicable Nikans are so useless. They stopped fighting after fighting for a while. They can't even bear such casualties. I am really disappointed."
Looking at the laughing Hauge, Dorgon frowned secretly. This Hauge just repelled the Dahua army's attack once and then raised his tail. He just retreated temporarily, and he will definitely do it again later.
The one who launched the attack again, Hauge, was so frivolous. How could such a person become the future master of our Qing Dynasty?
However, Dorgon also knew that now was not the time to argue with Hauge, so he ordered the surrounding soldiers to seize the time to prepare bows, crossbows and stones to prepare for the next attack of the Chinese army.
Hearing Zu Dashou's call to withdraw his troops, Li Yan, who was supervising the battle from behind, looked as usual. Only Wu Sangui and others on the side frowned slightly. In the siege battle just now, Zu Dashou and others had indeed suffered a lot of losses. They had already lost a lot of money.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers, but this loss was nothing to Zu Dashou's more than 10,000 troops. How could he retreat so quickly? You must know that Zu Dashou had signed a military order with the commander.
If he retreated so quickly, it would be a shame for his title as a veteran general of Liaodong.
Just when Wu Sangui and others were puzzled, Zu Dashou came to Li Yan and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, the Tatars are cunning. They are hiding behind the city wall and shooting my Dahua soldiers with bows and crossbows. What will happen to you?"
Because my soldiers suffered too many casualties, I came here to ask the governor for a sharp weapon to use to conquer the city wall."
"Oh, I wonder what General Zu wants?"
Zu Dashou looked at Li Yan and said word by word: "Shaking thunder!"
"How much?"
“The more the merrier!”
Li Yan nodded approvingly. "Everyone says that General Zu is a tiger general. Today, I finally understand that in addition to being brave, the general is also quite resourceful!"
Zu Dashou bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, Commander. The last general has just seen my Dahua soldiers use such a sharp weapon, so he has the audacity to come and ask the Supervisor to give him a sharp weapon so that he can use it to kill the enemy."
"Well..." Next to Li Yan, Li Yuan, Wang Zhi, Wei Jiang and other generals frowned secretly. What does it mean to "have seen my Dahua soldiers use such a sharp weapon"? This ancestor
Da Shou's implication was that Li Yan was unfair in his dealings and did not hand over such sharp weapons to him.
Li Yan looked at Zu Dashou quietly at first, then raised the corners of his mouth and laughed: "Hahaha... So it's my fault. Well, I'll call him in immediately."
I will give you 50,000 sky-shaking thunders to use with you to attack the city."
Zu was overjoyed on his birthday and thanked him: "Thank you, Governor, for your kindness. I dare not repay you with death!"
Li Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go! I hope to see you take down the outer city of Shengjing today. If the country can do this, so what if I will remember your first achievement?"
"Thank you for your love, sir!" Zu Dashu was overjoyed. After receiving Li Yan's order, he hurried down with his generals.
Looking at Zu Dashou's figure, Li Yuan said angrily to the side: "I didn't expect that he would take away the first success of the siege. If my second army had been allowed to attack, the outer wall would have been captured long ago.
, there’s no need to delay it for so long!”
"Shut up!"
Li Yan glared at Li Yuan and reprimanded in a low voice: "General Li, you are also an old man in the army. It is best not to say such words that are not conducive to the unity of Paoze in the future, otherwise I will not be able to spare you."
"yes!"
Seeing the anger flashing in Li Yan's eyes, Li Yuan stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. He was a very talkative person, otherwise he wouldn't have been taught a lesson by Pang Zheng for this reason, and he hasn't changed it to this day.
come over.
It is said that Zu Dashou and others came to the supply camp, showed Li Yan's order, mobilized 50,000 sky-shaking thunders, sent them to his army and distributed them to the soldiers.
The use of Zhentian Lei is very simple, just light the fuse and throw it out, so no special training is required.
Zu Dasheng ordered the soldiers who had received Zhentianlei to have a good meal, and then began to prepare to attack the city. Before attacking the city, two artillery battalions commanded by Dong Guo bombarded the city wall for another quarter of an hour, and then a battalion of riflemen
They lined up in a long formation and came to the outside of the city, shooting at targets who dared to move on the city wall, making the bricks on the city wall crackle.
Two brothers, Zu Dashou and Zu Dazhu, stood at both ends of the city wall, waving their long knives and shouting loudly: "Men, charge!"
As soon as the two men finished speaking, the passionate drums began to sound behind them, and countless soldiers rushed past the two of them and rushed towards the city wall.
The soldiers who attacked the city did not receive too many counterattacks this time, and the Qing army also learned the lesson. No one would recklessly lean out of the crenel to serve as a target for the Dahua riflemen, but would instead huddle on the city wall obediently.
Finally, wait for Dahua soldiers to jump into the thick wall of the city and then shoot them with bows and arrows.
However, this time the Qing army miscalculated. What they were waiting for behind the city wall was not the figure of the Chinese army, but black iron lumps that were flashing with tongues of fire.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
When the first thunderbolts began to appear on the city wall, the Qing soldiers realized that the Dahua Army had actually used a new type of weapon. Of course, this weapon could not be said to be a new weapon. The Qing army had long known that the Dahua Army had used a new type of weapon.
The Chinese army has a hand-thrown weapon called Hongtian Lei, which is quite powerful in close combat.
However, although this kind of thunderbolt is powerful, its throwing distance is quite short, so the Qing army does not pay much attention to it. However, the scene that happened in front of them today subverted their understanding of previous combat modes. It turns out that thunderbolt can actually
It can still be used like this.
When the bombing thunder was used on a large scale, it was so terrifying. With the bursts of explosions, the Japanese troops who were waiting for them were blown up and turned upside down.
"No, we are in danger."
Seeing such a scene, Dorgon and others who were commanding from a distance were also dumbfounded. Damn it, we have all retreated inside. Why are you still so stubborn? You must capture the outer city today.
Due to the large number of Qing troops on the city wall, the unprepared throw had already caused the death of a large number of Qing troops. The shrapnel and shock waves flying everywhere after the explosion also caused the death of many Qing troops.
Seeing countless Qing soldiers falling down, Dorgon, Haoge and others became anxious, and each one excitedly ordered the archers to observe carefully, and if any Dahua soldiers came up the city wall, they would shoot them down.
But to their disappointment, Dahua's infantry did not climb up the city wall. Instead, they hid on the ladders outside the city wall and kept throwing thunderbolts at the city wall.
This time it cost them their lives. The Qing army kept falling under the sound of explosions, but when they were dying, they couldn't even see their opponents, not to mention how frustrated they were.
"Quickly, hand over Zhentian Lei."
On the ladder near the crenellations of the city wall, the soldiers were passing the unknown thunderbolts forward one by one. The one at the top was holding the torch and the ladder in one hand, and the other hand was holding the thunderbolt after lighting it.
Then he threw it against the city wall as hard as he could.
These soldiers from Jinzhou were all those who came to seek refuge with Zu Dashou in the former Ming Dynasty. This morning, they were shot by the Qing army who hid in the thick of the city wall with bows and crossbows for a long time. Thousands of their brothers were killed and injured. They were already filled with anger.
Now that we have such an opportunity, how can we not be careless? Thanks to their efforts, the thunderbolts hit the city one after another like raindrops.
The explosion resounded for a while, and thick smoke billowed across the entire city wall. Black smoke enveloped the entire city wall. No one could even be seen in places where there was so much smoke.
"Okay, don't throw it away, hurry up the city wall!"
The officer supervising the battle under the city wall saw black smoke billowing from the city wall, and quickly shouted for the soldiers to climb up the city wall.
At this time, the city wall was filled with black smoke. The Qing troops who survived the explosion were blocked by the black smoke and their reaction was much slower. By the time they discovered that a large-scale Chinese army had climbed onto the city wall, it was already too late.
Already.
At this time, the Dahua Army had gathered a certain size of soldiers. They used shields, spears and halberds to form a formation and slowly advanced towards the surroundings. Occasionally, some people threw a few thunderbolts from the formation, blasting the Qing army into chaos.
.
Seeing the Qing troops rushing around the city wall to make peace, Hauge was also confused. He didn't know what to do for a while. He could only continue to mobilize troops from the city to go up to the city wall to resist, but this tactic of adding fuel to the wall did not have much effect.
The only effect is to waste batch after batch of troops in vain.
Seeing the Chinese army swarming up the city, and the Zhenglan Banner's troops being constantly depleted, Daishan on the side felt extremely distressed, and dissuaded him: "Hauge, we can't continue to fight like this, Zhenglan Banner's
The casualties still exceed 40%, and if we continue to fight like this, Zhenglan Banner will die."
"Then what can you do?" Hauge finally had an attack. He stared with blood-red eyes and said: "Big Belle, you are an elder and the owner of the Zhenghong Banner. Please teach me what should I do?
"
Dai Shan sighed and shook his head: "Well, now that things have happened, I don't have any good ideas. It's your duty to guard Fusheng Gate. It's up to you to figure it out. I'm Zheng Hongqi has long been seriously injured, and he has already helped
I can’t help you, but you can go to Prince Rui for help, maybe he will be able to find a solution."
"What, you want me to ask Dorgon?"
When Hauge heard this, the hair all over his body exploded, and he almost roared: "I will never beg him..."
