Chapter 149: Siege of the Cave
"In this battle, we must take Chu Wei and Ning Yu Xiao'er, otherwise what kind of face will I go to see the emperor?"
Gao Qiwei was already old, and he couldn't stand the toss for a long time, and under exhaustion, he couldn't help coughing heavily, and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but he didn't expect that a touch of red appeared on the white handkerchief.
"Your Excellency!" Deputy General Lin Hua hurriedly stepped forward and held the crumbling Gao Qi, he could feel that this body was so weak, but so tenacious.
Gao Qiwei gently broke free of Lin Hua, looked at Qingjiang City that was fighting in front of him, and looked hard, but he didn't find the figure of that person, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Gao Qiwei had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and he never really pinned his hopes on the siege, so in the siege stage, he did not do nothing, but used a lot of manpower to dig a tunnel to the bottom of Qingjiang City, and now it can finally come in handy.
"Brothers of the Green Camp, Gao wishes you all back alive! When the time comes, the promotion will be added, and the Liangtian mansion will not be a problem! ”
Gao Qiwei was wearing a suit of armor, ignoring his old and old body, and drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, although his hands trembled a little, but the bowl of wine did not spill half a cent.
Hundreds of people gathered together, all of them had no way to speak, just grabbed the long sword and shield in their hands, and then stepped into the tunnel one by one, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Ning Yu's face was slightly solemn, at least so far, he had not accurately touched the pulse of his position, at least for this era, there were only so many ways to siege the city.
At present, the Qing army is attacking the city with this kind of fighting style that does not care about life and death, Ning Yu instinctively feels that something is wrong, it is not so simple to raise his position, if he really fights so desperately, the collapse of the Qing army is already a certainty.
"There's something wrong with this battle, the old fox in the high position should understand that if he continues to fight like this, he will die first."
Dong Ce also had some doubts on his face, he pointed to the large piles of corpses under the city wall, and felt a little chill in his heart, "This kind of fight can't rush up at all, this is simply sending them to death." ”
"Tell the Governor that this person is scheming, and he won't act so recklessly in the future, and the general will worry that he has other plans." Qian Ying, as a member of the Fu Han Army who had just joined the Han Army, still wanted to brush up his presence in front of Ning Yu, so he began to make suggestions, but he was a little cautious in his words.
"In your opinion, what means?"
"Siege of the Cave!"
Ning Yu also felt this way in his heart, the problem was that not long after the beginning of Qingjiang City, it was difficult to clear the whole city, so if there was collusion between inside and outside, it was really possible to attack the city through an authentic way.
"I have also thought about the method of attacking the city in the cave, and I have spread large vats all over the city, and sent people to listen to the sound, if the tunnel is dug into the city, there must be some movement, but now there is not..."
Ning Yu said as he thought carefully in his mind, he tried his best to think about the memories of his previous life, trying to find one or two from those battle examples.
As his thoughts deepened, Ning Yu felt that the impression in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he suddenly realized a possibility, and this method was the most likely!
"I see, his tunnel doesn't lead to the city, but to the city!"
When everyone heard Ning Yu say this, they were all a little puzzled, and even Qian Ying, who first thought of the siege method of the cave ground, was also a little stunned at this time, and wondered: "Why is it under the city?" What is the use of being under the city? ”
In the minds of many people, the impression of the siege of the cave is to use the tunnels to move the army into the city, so as to bypass the strong city defense and achieve the effect of killing with one hit. If it was just to go to the city, then everyone thought that this general might be crazy.
Ning Yu's face turned pale, he didn't answer this question, but said directly and loudly: "Issue a military order, let everyone gradually retreat to the city!" ”
"Grand Duke, why are you retreating at this time? If the Qing army is allowed to attack the city because of this, wouldn't our army be a mistake? ”
"Execute the order!"
"Yes!"
Although the generals had some doubts in their hearts, no one dared to disobey the order, these people were brought out by Ning Yu personally, and Ning Yu has always emphasized unconditional obedience to orders since the establishment of the army, so at this moment he also played his due efficiency.
Although the generals all withdrew from the city wall, many soldiers on the city wall continued to strangle with the Qing army, Dong Ce saw this and re-ascended the wall, he commanded the soldiers to gradually retreat, while carrying out the rear of the palace, to prevent the retreat from turning into a rout.
As the number of soldiers of the Han army gradually decreased, the Qing army seemed to see the hope of victory, and enthusiastically climbed to the top of the city, hoping to take the city, and from this time on, the direction of the development of the war seemed to have been deflected. However, because there were still Dong Ce and a small half of the soldiers of the Fu Han Army at the head of the city, they were still in a state of stalemate.
The generals who removed the city wall organized other regiments and began to build a defensive line in the city, for this war, Ning Yu prepared several pre-selected plans, which naturally included how to fight a street battle in the city if he could not hold the city.
Seeing that the Qing army was progressing smoothly, the generals of the green battalion were also overjoyed, intending to congratulate Gao Qiqi. At this time, Gao Qi's position was not a little happy, and his face was a little more surprised and lonely.
"If we continue like this, there is no point. That's it, that's it. ”
Gao Qi's expression gradually became determined, and besides, he couldn't stop it anymore from what was about to happen.
The atmosphere on the whole battlefield became more and more solemn, and the bloody battle seemed to have become an eternal theme, but after all, there was no such thing as eternity.
Boom - an explosion that almost resounded through the heavens and the earth, passed from under Qingjiang City, and the entire city wall seemed to be cut off from the bottom, and countless soldiers who were still fighting on it turned into rags and were covered under the ruins. Whether it is the Qing army or the Fu Han army, it has also become difficult to distinguish from each other.
This scene frightened everyone, and the destructive power of war reached its extreme at this moment.
The mystery is revealed!
Ning Yu let out a long sigh of relief, he smiled self-deprecatingly, so it was, but so.
This set is actually what the Taiping Army likes to play in later generations, but now it has been drummed out by the wizard of Gao Qiwei, strictly speaking, this siege method is not much difficult, but there are very few people who used it before, so it was not thought of for the first time.
When this cannon battle was released, Gao Qiwei did not get the result he wanted, and more casualties on the city wall were still the Qing army, while the Fu Han army seemed to have been prepared, only more than 300 casualties.
Dong Ce was covered in blood, he lay in the ruins and couldn't move, but he smiled.
Therefore, at this time, the Fu Han army in the city seemed to have been prepared, and the bright bayonets were fixed on the head of the spear, and they rushed out in unison and began to launch a counterattack.
