Feng Shuangli did not rush to order the ants to attack the city, but chose to destroy the plum blossom pile outside Hanzhong City first.
This thing was arranged in advance by the Qing army in order to delay and delay the offensive of the Ming army.
Obviously, Li Guoying was prepared.
Although the plum pile will not play a decisive role in the battle situation, it will be disgusting.
When the Ming army attacked the city, it would feel very uncomfortable to be constrained everywhere.
And siege efficiency and speed will also be greatly affected.
Large siege equipment, such as car rushes and wood ramming, can be greatly affected.
Feng Shuangli didn't want to bury himself in the pit, so he chose to solve and dispose of these plum blossom piles as soon as possible.
Moreover, using this time, Feng Shuangli can also order people to dig tunnels and prepare coffins to blow up the city.
After fighting so many battles with His Majesty the Emperor, Feng Shuangli just watched and watched.
It's just that he wasn't sure if Li Guoying had heard of the tactic of shelling up the city, and whether he would have prepared a countermeasure in advance.
If not, then Feng Shuangli should be able to easily blow open the city gate.
Although the Ming army did not have much food, Feng Shuangli was obviously not too anxious.
"Lord Wang, the soldiers are ready. It's time to start digging tunnels. ”
Feng Shuangli nodded when he heard this, and ordered, "Let's start." ”
...
...
Li Guoying, who was at the head of the city, saw that the Ming army began to dig the tunnel unhurriedly, and sneered in his heart.
You don't take the fuck for granted. This tactic has been used many times, although Li Guoying has not personally experienced it, but he has always heard it.
As the saying goes, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
How many times can this tactic be used, and how many times can it be used? He's thinking about fart?
In response to the coffin bombing tactics, in fact, the Qing army has summed up a set of countermeasures.
Specifically, there is flooding and filling the tunnel. Or use artillery to bombard the mounds dug by the Ming army to seal the entrance to the tunnel.
Li Guoying felt that the latter was more in line with the current situation and more of his appetite.
Compared with the former, the latter is more proactive and can solve the crisis in the embryonic stage.
Hanzhong is an important town, and artillery is naturally indispensable in the city.
Li Guoying said in his heart, you don't know whether to live or die to challenge the governor, and the governor will make your fart and urine, and regret coming to Hanzhong!
"Come on, fire the cannon, and aim at the mound dug up by the thief to bombard Ben Du fiercely. Ben Du wants to see what this thief will do. ”
The Qing soldiers are now in high spirits, and they all want to defeat the Ming army to chase and kill them, and cut off the head to receive the silver reward.
As soon as Li Guoying gave the order, the Qing soldiers began to fire artillery.
But listening to the roar of artillery, the mound that the Ming army had finally dug up was smashed to pieces in an instant.
The most terrifying thing is that the entrance to the cave is instantly buried by the sand that pours down.
Those Ming soldiers who entered the tunnel were directly buried alive!
Seeing this, Feng Shuangli held his breath in his chest and was very uncomfortable.
In fact, he also expected that the Qing army might use artillery bombardment, and just wanted to gamble.
Now it turns out that he lost the bet.
When attacking other cities, the Ming army faced a similar situation.
It's just that at that time, the Ming army could use artillery to counterattack and suppress the firepower of the Qing army at the head of the city.
In this way, the two sides bombarded each other, and neither wanted to really sanction the other.
The tunnel that consumed the Ming army was dug in time, and as soon as the coffin was put in the lead, the city wall could be blown open, and everything was over.
But now Feng Shuangli doesn't have any artillery in his hands.
There are quite a few in the city of Chengdu, but they are all heavy artillery that is not easy to move, like the light artillery in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor that can be used in field battles.
Feng Shuangli was in a hurry again, and it was impossible to carry this kind of heavy artillery.
And even if he moved, he probably had to give up when he walked that mountain road.
After all, he even ordered most of the grain to be buried on the spot, not to mention the heavy artillery. Putting that aside, the combat readiness of both sides alone is not at the same level.
Feng Shuangli only ordered people to make some simple siege equipment, and even the crashing wood used in the rushing car was freshly cut down, with blue-green leaves on it.
The Qing army was well prepared, and even the plum blossom stakes were laid in advance, obviously waiting for the Ming army to attack.
In contrast to this mentality, the Ming army is obviously the inferior side.
It's just that Feng Shuangli doesn't seem to realize this at all, and falls into the trap of rushing to fight.
This is what the Qing army wants to see the most.
Feng Shuangli saw that most of the tactics of the coffin bombing the city could not be realized, so he ordered a full-scale siege of the city.
At this time, the plum blossom pile has been almost removed, and there is no problem for the Ming army to rush up.
It's just that the previous artillery bombardment more or less affected the mentality of the Ming soldiers.
Determination is less evident when charging.
This is a terrible thing to do on the battlefield.
The more hesitant you are, the easier it is to go wrong, and the artillery fire of the Qing army is still sharp, and the shells smashed into the crowd, killing and wounding dozens of people in an instant.
The artillery of the Qing army belongs to the kind of miracle that vigorously performs, and it completely relies on the advantage of size and impact.
But under the desperate and brutal charge of the Ming army, this kind of bombardment of the Qing army seems to be very useful.
Even Li Guoying didn't expect the bombardment effect to be so good, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was very proud.
Now it seems that he was really careless in the battle of Chengdu.
As long as he was a little more cautious, the situation was completely different.
Now although the Qing army is the side defending the city, it has taken the initiative.
The Ming army continued to charge like this, and even if it rushed under the city wall, the losses would be heavy. Li Guoying can certainly accept this result.
"Continue to fire the cannon and don't stop, and bombard with Bento."
These cannons were left on the walls all day long to eat ashes, and now they finally have a value.
Li Guoying is an unforgiving character, and at this moment, he wants to expand his advantages.
Feng Shuangli saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
The Ming army launched this is simply a wave of death charge.
Judging from the current situation, it is quite difficult to take Hanzhong City.
But at this juncture, if Feng Shuangli ordered a retreat, the morale would likely collapse directly.
In any case, Feng Shuangli could not give this order.
This breath must be bitten.
This Ming army is all veterans of the Western Camp, so they naturally obey Feng Shuangli's orders.
Feng Shuangli did not order the withdrawal of troops, they would not take a step back.
Although soldiers were killed from time to time, they rushed under the city walls without hesitation.
One person is nothing, but ten people, hundreds of people, and thousands of people are connected together, giving people a sense of tragedy and determination.
Some of them are destined to never see the sun of tomorrow again, but military orders are like mountains, and as soldiers, you must carry out orders.
"Kill the captives and repay the country!"
"Rush into the city and kill the old thief Li Guoying!"
The soldiers of the Ming army shouted loudly to give themselves courage, but these roars looked so pale and weak in the face of the artillery fire of the Qing army.
The severed limbs and stumps were blown up and scattered all over the ground, and the ground was covered with red blood.
