When Zheng was in a state of desperation, he offered a plan to Tuo: "Uncle, I just saw that there are only a few hundred guards in the city and most of them are in the north city. It is not difficult to attack them by force. How about luring them to sneak attack from the north and defeat them in one fell swoop?"
.
Kang Kale said: "Are you going to attack by force? But we don't have anything at hand."
"The few defenders don't need many tools. We can use them now to attack before dark." Kang Kale fell into deep thought and felt that what his eldest nephew said was reasonable. The few defenders on the city ignored their heads and attacked with men and horses first.
Attract their attention to the north city, and then secretly ambush troops and attack from the south city. As for the other side, there is no need to build a few more giant trees to hit the door with the siege ladder.
But Kangkal was still a little hesitant. How could there be so few guards in the city? Even if there were really few soldiers, King Heng would have to recruit soldiers to guard the city at this juncture. But now there are only a few, so... would it be possible?
Is it a pit?
Furthermore, he always believed that there was no need for a strong attack, as long as the army besieged the city, King Heng would surrender!
"Uncle, when the regent arrives, King Heng will surrender. But what does it have to do with us? We still haven't accomplished anything!" Hetuo was a little anxious. These words immediately made Kangkal make up his mind and ordered the soldiers to attack.
The wooden men even began to prepare for the siege at the same time.
Not a single move of the Qing troops below the city escaped Jia Waixiong's eyes. With the tempers of him and Lao Jiu, if the Qing troops below were so tossing, they would have gone out to do it in normal times.
But now they were ordered to defend the city. They shouldered the heavy responsibility and did not dare to act willfully. However, they also thought about finding an opportunity to go out of the city and ambush the Qing troops who were circling the city and shouting curses. However, those Tatars were very clever and never found the opportunity.
So much so that when the Qing troops were yelling and cursing at the city gate, the two of them, although their faces turned green with anger, still hid in the watchtower and bet money with their brothers because they didn't have to worry about the Qing troops climbing up.
It wasn't until all the enemy's soldiers and horses crossed the river and pushed a big log against the door that they shot more than ten people and told the army: There are people in the city who are alive!
Not long afterward, we saw another movement of the Qing troops under the city. First, one branch went to the northwest to cut trees near Fan Gongting, and the rest divided into several groups and went outside the city gates to harass and scold them.
Jia Waixiong then frowned and said to Lao Jiu: "The Tatars are going to make a big move!"
"Strong attack?" Lao Jiu asked.
Jia Waixiong nodded: "Damn it, I thought I would launch a sneak attack at night as soon as possible, but why can't I bear my temper?"
"Perhaps their main force is coming soon," Lao Jiu said casually, and Jia Wai yelled: "Fuck, if the Tatar army arrives, they must first besiege the city and intimidate them, so they won't be so eager to take action."
"Then I don't know." Lao Jiu scratched his head. Of course they couldn't figure out what Kang Kale was thinking.
It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out. Now that the Qing army is preparing to attack by force, Jia Wai Xiong no longer intends to hide it, so he ordered all the rural warriors he recruited to go to the city to guard each gate. He also ordered Lao Jiu to patrol everywhere.
Got muscles!
Sure enough, Kangkal's uncle and nephew who were sharpening their knives outside the north city were shocked when they saw so many people pouring out of the city. Then they came to report that the city was surrounded by more than 10,000 troops!
Damn it! The two of them were shocked, how could there be so many Ming troops guarding the city, and then they quickly realized that they should be the people in the city.
Although he is a mob, he can shoot arrows, throw stones and kill people. How can he attack the city with only two thousand soldiers and no siege equipment?
"If you don't surrender, there will be no chickens or dogs left after the city is broken!" Angered and angry, Kang Kale roared at the top of his voice at the top of his lungs, but the distance was too far, so it was still unknown whether the people on the city could hear him.
Kangkal's uncle and nephew were frightened by Jia Waixiong's muscles. They didn't dare to use force anymore. They were really riding a tiger, but they couldn't just do nothing, otherwise they would be just like waste. After discussing for a while, the uncle and nephew felt that the matter was over.
Even if it is useless, you still have to do something to save some face.
So he sent more manpower to cut down trees for the main force in the rear to prepare for the siege. He also personally drew a map of the surrounding terrain and asked people to send it to Dorgon and explain the situation in Qingzhou City at this time.
After doing all this, he ordered to attack the city!
Yes, we still have to attack!
Of course it's just a show.
But what Kang Kale didn't expect was that his pretentious attack gave Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu the opportunity to practice their troops in actual combat. After all, the rural warriors recruited from the city were all rookies without any actual combat. If they got started,
It's the kind of violent storm that shakes the sky and waves. If there is no protection, you will be frightened and have no intention to resist. This is what Jia Waixiong is most worried about.
According to the previous agreement, Kangkal personally commanded 500 soldiers and horses to attack from the north gate. The Qing army pushed two siege vehicles and rushed past the city gate. The remaining men shot at the city with their bows, while Hetuo led 500 troops to attack from the west gate.
Attacking is the same way.
There were no artillery and trebuchets, and only bows and arrows were used as suppression, which put little pressure on the garrison on the city. Jia Waixiong gave an order, and the soldiers of the Black Panther Battalion opened their bows and fired at each other, while Xiang Yong used trebuchets to smash down, and even
After a few breaths of artillery fire, the Qing troops under the city fell into chaos, leaving more than a dozen corpses behind and retreated one after another.
Ximen, on the other hand, was much the same, except that Lao Jiu even only used the Black Wolf Battalion as an assistant and used Xiang Yong as the main force to counterattack, but he didn't even need half a cup of tea to defeat the enemy.
Of course, you have to be serious about your appearance. If it doesn't work once, you have to try it again. Kangkal ordered to attack again and again, sometimes changing the city gates and actually attacked all four gates of Qingzhou City. Jia Waixiong also practiced all the four gates.
After all, when it was dark, Kangkal retreated to the bank of Nanyang River and camped at the cost of nearly a hundred people.
Do you think this is the end of the game?
not at all!
Kang Kale, who was encamped by the Nanyang River, was trying to figure out how Dorgon would scold him later and how he would respond. His heart skipped a beat and he felt very uneasy. He subconsciously looked up towards Qingzhou City.
But I saw a big fireball flashing out from the top of the city. Hey, is the top of the city on fire? As soon as I thought about it, I knew something was wrong, artillery was coming!
With constant rumbling, the first two artillery pieces of Qingzhou North City opened fire on the Qing army camp on the bank of the Nanyan River, and on the Qing army logging in the northwest...
"It's a pity, it's a pity, there are too few cannons." Jia Waixiong said to the palace steward beside him: "When we were guarding the mountain outside the pass, there were hundreds of artillery blasts. That scene... tsk tsk tsk, it was so bloody!
"
Hundreds of doors! The housekeeper couldn't help but shuddered: "Well, wouldn't that mean that people would be blown into pieces?"
How many paragraphs? Jia Waixiong curled his lips: "The ground is full of pits, and you can't even see the bones."
Ah! The housekeeper opened his mouth and was speechless.
On the bank of the Beiyang River, more than fifty miles north of Qingzhou City, the Qing army set up a ten-mile camp here. Tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty people who were taken captive were resting in the camp. They said they were resting but they were actually working, such as logging and making fortresses.
City equipment.
After hearing the news from Kangkal, Dorgon knew that Qingzhou City was ready and concluded that it was useless to just siege the city with a large army and intimidate them. They had to see blood.
Along the way, he destroyed several cities and plundered a lot of supplies, including siege ladders and cannons to defend the city. However, these were not enough. He happened to have too many people on hand, so he ordered these laborers to cut wood and build cars. He wanted to use them to build carts.
You are very prepared. Since the people of Qingzhou City do not know how to show appreciation and ask you to open the door but you still don't, then I will break the rules in one fell swoop and not give you a chance to beg for mercy again.
