Section 744 Legs
Although the lives of the puppet soldiers are not valuable, the cannon fodder can be used for a long time is obviously more effective, and the puppet soldiers die a lot, they are killed in the battle when attacking their own clan, which makes their mood change subtly.
You can't beat the defenders, they can do it, they have the ability.
Such a strange mood arose, but fortunately, the experienced Duoduo did not let them be sent to death further.
He assembled more than 100 artillery pieces such as Hongyi cannons and tiger squat cannons, lined up in the north and south of Xuzhou City, and constantly bombarded the city wall.
People pass by the artillery position, when the group of artillery in unison, only feel a tremor under their feet, their ears buzz and can't hear any sound, look up, in the white smoke, the soldiers on the artillery position look serious, methodically carry the shells to fill the shot, the artillery group is orderly, step by step according to the commander's order echelon salvo, the shell landing point is also quite accurate, except for the first few groups of shells, most of the later shells are accurately hit on the city wall, far away to see many city walls were bombarded to burst masonry, A large section of the women's wall was blasted open.
After years of investment, the Qing army's artillery technology has made great progress, and in parallel space, they used cannons to knock down the Ming people's city walls, which were proficient in city defense technology, and also bombarded the confidence of the Ming people.
You can't beat them in the field, and you can't even defend the city!
How else can you fight!
Now it's different, the Qing army is bombarding here, and the Ming army has begun to repair the work, and they use reinforced cement sand and gravel to fill the gap!
Fire! Fire!
Build the wall! Build the wall!
Boom here, make up there, the two sides are in a stalemate, day to day, Xuzhou city wall actually pulled the line, hanging a lot of legs ---- salted meat legs!
Most of them are pork legs, and a few are beef legs and deer legs, and the legs are large and attractive.
Seeing those legs, the puppet army was salivating, even the Tartar soldiers were like this----- hundreds of miles of strong walls and clear fields, resulting in a lack of materials that could be looted, the north suffered from fires and natural disasters, the harvest was limited, and the grain could not be transported, and 100,000 people ate horses and chewed horses, which was an extremely staggering number, and ordinary Tartar soldiers had no meat to eat, only officers enjoyed it.
But the Ming army is a big-headed soldier who can eat meat!
Can this be compared? There is no comparison!
From the top of the city wall came bursts of wild laughter: "We're eating meat, are you eating!" ”
"Isn't it right to stay under our city and wait to eat our!"
"You guys are too cowardly, you have been fighting for so long, so many people have died, you are all stupid!"
……
The Ming army on the wall showed its figure, they were holding rice bowls and opening rice, the food was really good, rice, meat to eat, vegetables and dry soup to drink!
Processed with shipped coal, it's hot!
After eating, there is tea to drink, and bags of milk candy are distributed to everyone from time to time.
It's very pleasant, and has plenty of strength to taunt the enemies outside the city.
Don't underestimate the role of food, the morale of the Ming army was quite strong.
Psychologically, the officers and soldiers defending the city have been greatly comforted---- we still have the strength to spare, we have not yet reached a desperate situation, and there is no problem in defending the city.
Otherwise, there is nothing to eat, cannibalism, and no water to drink, which is miserable.
After eating the meat legs, the Ming army threw down the bones one after another and said: "The master rewards the bones for you dogs to eat!" ”
Whether it is a Tartar soldier or a puppet army, it is not a taste.
They could only fire desperately, but it didn't seem to have much effect, after all, the ability of solid shells in that era was indeed too small.
The Tartar soldiers thought that they had too many guns, which they used to scare those Ming people who had never seen the world, but they were scoffed at by the Southeast Army, and their "Southeast Asia-class" third-class battleships had 76 guns, and two ships had 152 guns, and they were bigger, thicker and harder than the guns of the Qing army!
How dare you Tartars compare your toothpick cannons to our black guys?!
And ask if we are afraid?
Oops, I'm scared.
I'm afraid I'll shoot you Tartars!
The news that Dodor had received from the sergeant was a matter of concern to him, and he could not make up his mind.
Will the whole army press down and defeat Xuzhou City, or leave a small part of the troops to attack the Ming city north of the Huai River?
Choose the first decision, I don't know how many people will die!
Choosing the second decision is likely to be risky.
"Report!" A report interrupted his thoughts, but it was a return from the horse, and he was like a blow to the head.
In the area north of the Huai River, all the walls are clear, and there are no people everywhere, only the cities on the north bank are fortified and well guarded.
"As soon as we approached the city, they shot arrows and guns at us!" The Scout Captain reported with some frustration.
There was no longer the good thing that dozens of Tartars could take a county town before, and Duoduo had a kind of horror: "What they feared about the great chieftains has come true!" ”
If every Ming person resolutely resists, the Qing army will soon be exhausted!
Tan Taijin also talked about his worries.
thinks that "the other side of the city is strong, and you can't fight hard!" ”
Tan Tai, Shu Mulu, belongs to the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, at the beginning of the Niu Lu Ezhen, the battle of Songjin broke out, Tan Tai led 400 people from the Xiaoling River to the seaside, cut off the Ming soldiers to return to the road, this battle Hong Chengchou was captured, is a brave general in the army.
Even he was cautious, and Duoduo made his thinking clear, he must not use real Tartars to attack such a fortified city defended by the Ming army!
"Only a field battle can defeat them, and if they are dispatched, do not rush to a decisive battle with them, do not fight hard, and the small troops will continue to harass them until the enemy is tired, and then attack again."
After figuring it out, he wrote a letter and sent someone to the rear.
At this time, the Qing court had already set up post stations along the line, changed horses halfway, and continued to relay, and soon reached Beijing.
In the grand hall of the regent palace, Duo Ear Roll sat upright, and the ministers and generals under his command were respectful, and they didn't even dare to cough.
In the process of fighting for the throne, Duo Er Roll failed to sit on the throne, but he was above 10,000 people under one person, and all major affairs in the court and China were decided by him.
When he read the letter, he couldn't help but groan!
Then he issued an order, one was to the general Azig, with him running Xi'an, and at the same time preparing to enter Sichuan.
Sichuan is a country of abundance, with fertile land and a long distance from the current ruling center of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which is convenient for the use of troops.
As long as Sichuan is captured, it will be divided into two Yangtze rivers with the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing army will come down from Sichuan.
The second decree was to give his henchman a cold monk's opportunity, and he rushed to Jinan to repair the city and operate the defense line.
Doldora adopted Duoduo's suggestion and stopped advancing south for the time being, but contracted the defensive line, widened the distance, waited for the enemy to go away, and annihilated the enemy on the way.
This is nothing less than a confession!
In any case, Duoerluo focused on running the dilapidated north, trying to develop the population and farming, mining, industry and commerce, etc., and recover as soon as possible.
Soon, almost on the eve of June 1st, the Qing army besieging Xuzhou retreated completely!
The news flew to Nanjing, which made Yan Changwu annoyed: "It seems that there are also smart people among the Tartars!" ”
