Chapter nine hundred and forty-seven Shouzhuang battle
Guan Qiguo was one of the first people to join the Runing Army. Although he did not even have the status of a boy student, he had gained seniority in Runing and reached the position of a township deputy.
Last year, the Runing Army went north, captured several northern provinces and established the Great Ping Dynasty. Wu Shigong mobilized a group of grassroots officials from Runing and Guide to copy the system model of the Runing Army in southern Henan. Therefore, although the management
Qi Guo has only been promoted one level to become the township head, but his position in the county is actually only lower than that of the county magistrate. Therefore, it can be said that Guan Qi Guo is the group of officials who most support the Daping Dynasty.
So knowing that the situation was critical, Guan Qiguo calmed down. He thought: Fortunately, his family did not move to Beizhili. Even if he died this time, the emperor would treat his family members kindly. So his expression
He also became more comfortable.
So Guan Qiguo ordered Shi Zhen again: "Call all the people in Zhuangzi who have positions and tell them to take charge of a section of the wall. If the Tatars cannot be blocked, I will punish him. As long as he stands up to the wall, he will be punished."
In three or five days, the Emperor will never fail to save us."
…
"beep--!"
The loud horn sounded, and this sound also brought Guan Qiguo's thoughts back to reality. He looked into the distance from the crenel and saw groups of Qing soldiers carrying hundreds of ladders to the front of the formation, and
Hundreds of people were driven away and used as cannon fodder to fill the trenches.
Due to the strong walls of the Great Ping Dynasty, the Qing army could capture very few civilians. Therefore, these cannon fodders could only be used intensively, which made Zhuangzi's defense much more convenient. The direction where the cannon fodder was located must be the direction of the Qing army's attack.
.
The common people cried and cried, ran to the trench, and started throwing sand and gravel down. Shi Zhen had already gathered dozens of hunting bows in Zhuangzi here, and was shooting arrows at the common people. Although the hunting bows were weak,
Those people didn't have any protective gear, so they were shot down one by one.
So some people cried and begged for mercy on the city wall. This also made the archers hesitate. However, after Guan Qiguo and Shi Zhen gave a fierce shout, the archers continued to shoot arrows at these people.
Shi Zhen and the others were not in charge of the state of Qi, but they were hard-hearted, because it was the people who were responsible for this. In order to prevent the Qing army from driving the people first, the officials at all levels had already issued orders. When the "Qingye Order" was issued, all the people had to
If you enter the city nearby, anyone who violates this rule will be shot without mercy.
However, there are always some people who are reluctant to part with the bottles and jars at home, or act freely and casually, ignoring the orders of the government, so now they are actually dead to the Daping Dynasty. Therefore, Guan Qiguo and Shi Zhen
They would not feel any pain if they ordered him to be shot.
Moreover, according to the orders issued by the Daping Dynasty, during the raids on the countryside after the war, any scattered people encountered like this would still be killed. Even if any city was broken, the fleeing soldiers and civilians who ran to neighboring cities would also be killed.
If they are killed, they will also be eliminated after the war.
And this is to force everyone to fight to the end and achieve the ultimate goal of strengthening the wall and clearing the country. Therefore, these cannon fodder people are nothing more than dying early and dying late.
What's funny is that the Qing army felt distressed when they saw the people in the village showing no mercy. Such cannon fodder would only die one by one! The Qing army had to use it sparingly no matter what.
So a group of archers from the Qing army, under the cover of the shield men around them, stepped forward to shoot at the city wall. The Qing army's bows were strong, and the archers' shooting skills were also high. They actually killed and wounded more than a dozen archers in Zhuangzi.
.So the archers of the village guard team also began to shoot arrows in hiding. However, in this way, the threat of bows and arrows in Zhuangzi was suppressed by the Qing army.
Looking at the densely packed heads under the city wall, Shi Zhen shouted repeatedly: "What a pity! What a pity!" Now let alone artillery, as long as there are dozens of muskets and maintain a volley of ten, they can harvest without restraint.
The lives of the Qing army. But now because of the lack of firearms, they can only watch the Qing army become arrogant under the city wall.
When the Qing army saw that there were not even a few bows and arrows on the city wall, they gradually became bolder. In the end, some Qing soldiers also joined the team of filling in the trenches, and the trenches outside Zhuangzi were also filled in within half a day.
Most of it has been filled in.
"beep--!"
There was another blast of horns. The remaining cannon fodder quickly dispersed. A group of Qing soldiers came up from behind. They were carrying hundreds of ladders and wearing armor, and wanted to storm the city wall. There were no Qing archers.
After retreating, they were still hiding under the city wall to cover the siege of the armored soldiers.
Since it was newly built, Zhuangzi's wall was only two feet high. Therefore, the Qing army did not need any ladders at all, they only needed to build some ordinary ladders.
But when the Qing army climbed over the filled trench, they discovered another problem. Zhuangzi was too small, so the length of the filled trench was too short. The Qing army could erect at most three to forty ladders at such a small distance.
, the rest of the ladder seems to be wasted.
But this is just a small technical problem. After crossing the trench, some Qing troops ran along the wall, carrying ladders to both sides, trying to find a place to climb the wall; while other Qing troops continued to fill in the trench, adding more
The front of the siege city. The remaining Qing troops put up ladders and continued to attack the city.
But when these Qing soldiers had just climbed halfway, they saw large iron pots popping up on the wall. The iron pots were also filled with hot golden juice, which poured down on their heads.
Although the first batch of Qing soldiers who charged were all wearing heavy armor, how could the heavy armor withstand the golden juice? So these Qing soldiers were burned to the point where their skin and flesh split apart, and they all rolled to the ground, screaming and rolling.
Seeing such a tragic situation, the following Qing soldiers hesitated to move forward. However, the Qing general who commanded them immediately reminded loudly: "The golden juice is gone! Take advantage of this opportunity to climb up quickly!"
Upon hearing this, those hesitant Qing soldiers immediately woke up. Even if there was a lot of gold juice in Zhuangzi, pots and pots of gold juice had to be boiled. And pouring out pots and pouring them out immediately required a certain amount of time.
At that time, they happened to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city. So these Qing soldiers scrambled to climb up the ladder.
But when the Qing soldiers were about to climb to the top of the wall, another pot of golden juice poured down on them. Since the Qing soldiers only had more than forty ladders, but there were many iron pots prepared in Zhuangzi. In the collapse just now, the top of the city was
Only half of the cooked gold juice was used, and the remaining half was used this time.
This immediately confused the Qing soldiers behind. They didn't know how much gold juice was still on the wall, so they gave in and refused to climb the ladder.
