Li Zhi asked the soldiers to go to bed early at night and prepare to face the enemy the next day.
Early the next morning, the horns of the Qing army's stronghold sounded. More than 10,000 Qing troops ran out of the camp one by one, and lined up in front. Tatar warriors in yellow armor uniforms formed a square formation.
Each Niu Lu is a small formation, and each Jia La is a large formation. The military appearance is neat and looks very spectacular.
After the soldiers stood in formation, the gold-woven dragon scroll slowly moved from the Chinese army's stronghold to the middle of the array. Li Zhi raised his telescope and observed, and saw Yanguli riding silently on his horse, and the Tatar generals on the left and right also
Everyone was silent, obviously the cannon at Fanjiazhuang yesterday made them very depressed.
This time the Qing army broke through and won consecutive battles. They had not yet tasted defeat. Fanjiazhuang was the first city to suffer heavy losses to the Tatars.
Behind the array, more than a hundred aerial ladders were carried out.
Those ladders are five or six meters long and more than five meters high. They are not heavy and can be carried very quickly by twenty followers and auxiliary soldiers. These ladders were built by the Tatars yesterday and were originally intended for preparation.
They waited for the shield truck to fill the holes outside the city wall before using it. The Tatars did not expect that the shield truck could not block the artillery on the city wall, so they simply pushed the ladder directly out to attack the city.
If the ladder is set up on the city wall of Fanjiazhuang, the Tatars can jump directly from the ladder to the city wall.
Yangguli saw the power of the artillery on the city wall yesterday and knew that the shield car standing still in front of the hole was a living target. But he believed that the fast-moving ladder would not be hit by the artillery. As long as the warriors of the Qing army climbed onto the city wall, this would
A city also fell with one drum!
Carrying the ladder, the Qing army's array pressed down four miles north of the north city wall and stopped.
To be cautious, Yangu Li did not let the army launch an attack immediately. Instead, he asked 300 infantry and vests to cover 200 auxiliary soldiers and carried ten ladders to test the siege. Although Yangu Li is known for his bravery, he also knows how to fight.
Don't be reckless. There are so many cannons in Fanjiazhuang. Who knows if there are any other means? It's better to try it out.
Seeing the Tatars sending light soldiers out to test, Li Zhi smiled.
It seems that yesterday's artillery frightened the Tatars and they did not dare to attack the city directly. Instead, they sent light soldiers out to test Fanjiazhuang's details. If Li Zhi had asked the musketeers to fire with all their strength from 200 meters away, these five hundred Tatars would have been easily destroyed.
If the enemy was defeated, Yangguli would definitely turn around and run away, never to attack Fanjiazhuang again.
Li Zhi was not prepared to let Yangguli go so easily. He wanted to make a fortune from these 10,000 Tatars. He wanted to trick Yanguli into raising all his chips, and then eat a big one in one bite.
Five hundred Tatars who were trying to attack carried ten ladders and walked quickly towards the north wall of Fanjiazhuang. One hundred and fifty meters into the city wall, they encountered potholes of various sizes and could only walk around the potholes.
There were also large and small horses and deer antlers placed between the potholes. The Tatars worked hard to move these obstacles, and then slowly approached the 75 meters below the city wall.
A straight-line distance of seventy-five meters, they circled at least one hundred and fifty meters before approaching the city wall.
The artillery on the city did not fire.
The Tatar troops detoured between traps and pits and were pulled into a long snake formation, with the horse and foot armor in front and the ladder behind. The first thirty people in the long snake formation attacked within fifty steps of the city wall.
, immediately set up a long bow and started shooting arrows at the city wall. The Tatar arrows were famous for their heavy weight, and were soaked in human and animal excrement, so they were poisonous. If they were hit by an arrow, they would basically lose their combat effectiveness.
However, fifty steps was still far away. More than 30 Tatar forwards fired a round and only hit four soldiers of the Tiger Division behind the city wall.
Seeing four soldiers being shot and wounded, Li Zhi felt very painful. These were soldiers he had trained with his own hands. Even if one of them was shot, Li Zhi would feel uncomfortable.
"Hang xuanhu!"
Xuanhu is an ancient city defense device for bows and arrows. A wooden frame is built on each crenel, with two feet inside the city. The frame is hung outside the city close to the edge of the crenellation. It is covered with a cup blanket and wetted with water. Such a device blocks
Outside the crenel, bows and arrows cannot penetrate.
Five hundred were hung up, so that the Tartar arrows could not penetrate.
The Tatars stopped shooting arrows when they saw that the hanging houses were hung on the city of Fanjiazhuang.
Five hundred Tatars slowly walked in with ten ladders, walked around for a long time, and finally reached the foot of the city wall. Ten ladders were set up, across the moat, and directly set up the ladders on the city wall. The Tatars' vests and infantry
As long as you climb up the ladder, you can reach the top of Fanjiazhuang City.
Fifty vests took the lead and climbed up the city.
"Throw a rolling stone!"
"Pour the golden juice!"
The Huben division's fighting ability was far inferior to that of the Tatars. Tatars ascending the city would cause chaos. Of course, Li Zhi could not let these Tatars climb to the top of the city. He immediately ordered his troops to use city defense equipment to serve these five hundred Tatars.
A large number of rolling stones and wood were smashed down from the city, killing more than twenty Tatars who tried to climb the city under the city wall.
Golden juice is boiled excrement, which was poured on the bodies of the Denxian Tartars, burning the skin and flesh of these Tartars. The excrement is poisonous, and it becomes even more toxic when heated. The scalded wounds will rot due to the toxins in the excrement.
There is no way to heal at all, the only options are amputation or even death.
Before the fifty vests who took the lead could reach the top of the city, more than twenty of them were beaten to death by city defense equipment and burned to death beside the city wall.
The remaining more than 400 Tatars were not determined to die under the city wall. They all knew that Yanguli was using them to test the enemy's situation, and they were unwilling to risk their lives. They looked at the 4,000 Ming troops standing on the city wall.
Soldiers, don't dare to charge anymore.
More than 20 vests who were still alive on the ladder jumped off the ladder and fled back along the way. When other Qing soldiers saw that the vests had escaped, they also dispersed and fled collectively along the way.
Li Zhi looked at the escaping Tatars and smiled, secretly thinking that he had deceived the Tatars now.
Sure enough, Yang Guli observed from a distance and felt that Fanjiazhuang's city defense measures were ordinary and they were just relatively well prepared. Apart from cannons, there were no other powerful means in the city, nothing more than rolling stones and wood. Outside the city,
Although there are many traps, just go around them. If you are bombarded by artillery on the way around, not many people will die. Rolling stones and wood are limited, and with 12,000 troops to attack such a city, it can still be captured.
The Qing army fought all year round, and its soldiers were all killed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Their combat effectiveness was far beyond what the Ming army's guardsmen, who had enough to eat, could match. As long as warriors climbed onto the city wall to open a gap, the Ming army would collapse.
.
Yesterday, more than 400 warriors were abandoned under this city. If we do not capture this city, we will be sorry for the heroic spirits of those warriors. If we abandon this city, the invincible majesty of the Qing army entering the Pass this time will be damaged.
Yangu Li is a brave and courageous general. Since he started fighting with Nurhaci, he must be in battle and attack first, so he got the most honorable title of super dukedom among ministers with a foreign surname. Huang Taiji usually compared him to ordinary people.
Baylor still needs to pay attention. He doesn't believe that such an ordinary small county town in front of him can stop him.
Yangguli and several Jiala Zhangjing looked at each other. Although the several Jiala Zhangjings had serious expressions, they were still confident of taking over the city, and their eyes were very optimistic. Yangguli no longer hesitated and shouted loudly
road:
"All troops attack!"
The horns were blaring, the drums were thundering, and the twelve thousand Tatars shouted loudly and ran forward with ladders, rushing towards the north wall of Fanjiazhuang.
Looking from the city wall of Fanjiazhuang, we can see smoke and dust billowing, and the Qing army is rushing towards this side like a yellow ocean.
