Chapter 302: Da Ming Never Gives Up (First Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
The internal adjustment of the Ming army seems to be insignificant, but in fact, it is to make up for the shortcomings and make the overall combat effectiveness stronger.
After the decision, the troops on the side of Zheng Jing and Wang Er Mazi were relatively increased, while the forces on the side of Gan Hui and Li Shishi were reduced.
Of course, the adjustment will be made at any time according to the change of the battle situation, and it is dynamic.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zheng Jing and others personally inspected the city defense.
After yesterday's fierce fighting, not only were the soldiers a little tired, but even the battlements were seriously damaged.
The artillery bombardment of the Qing army was still full of suppressive power on the head of the city.
Today, Zheng Jing ordered that we should focus on guarding against the shelling of the Qing army.
At first, the Qing army did not use ants to attack the city, but used artillery to bombard the city in turn.
Maybe it was because they tasted the sweetness, the intensity of the Qing army's artillery bombardment was very high, and the Ming army only had the power to parry, and had no ability to fight back.
This is also the fatal flaw of the absence of artillery.
But there is no way to do this, there is no artillery in Laizhou, and it is naturally impossible for Zheng Jing and Li Shi to travel long distances to reinforce them.
Being able to have firearms and grenades added is already the best result.
However, the artillery of the Qing army seems to be mighty, but in fact, it can only last a scene.
After all, artillery can't collapse the city wall, and in the end it will have to be piled up by human life.
Of course, some of the fortifications at the head of the city will be damaged to a certain extent, and large city defense equipment such as yaksha beats will be damaged to varying degrees.
Under Zheng Jing's order, all the Ming soldiers were prostrate on the ground to avoid artillery damage and threat to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, after several rounds of shelling, the Qing army's green battalion soldiers began to charge again with battering rams.
It's just that compared with yesterday, today's Qing army is obviously more disciplined and cautious.
The soldiers of the Ming army at the head of the city stood up one after another, began to maneuver, and prepared to meet the enemy.
With the experience of yesterday's fierce battle, the soldiers of the Ming army opened fire as soon as the Qing soldiers entered the attack range.
The archers and musketeers fired at the same time, and the grenadiers even threw the grenades round.
Although there was no such weapon as artillery, the Ming army did not show weakness in the slightest in terms of momentum.
"Kill!"
"Serve Daming!"
"For Your Majesty!"
"Kill!"
It's just that the Qing soldiers have obviously made corresponding preparations and improvements. The most obvious thing is that they put a layer of linoleum on the rushing truck.
Such ordinary arrows could not penetrate the thick linoleum, and the Qing soldiers below could be better protected.
Zheng Jing at the head of the city obviously noticed this, and it seems that the Qing soldiers wanted to break open the city gate.
"Quick, go and give orders to go down and block the city gates!"
At the beginning, Zheng Jing, Gan Hui, and Li Shishi agreed that they could not block the city gate, so that if there were reinforcements to help, they could go out of the city to counterattack as soon as possible, or it would be an option to desperately break through.
But now it seems that it is difficult for Yu Qi from Dengzhou to come in a short time.
And they are now facing life and death, and they can't think about what will happen in a few days.
The best way to keep the gates from being breached is to block them.
It's a little late, but it's better to remedy than to do nothing.
The herald clenched his fists and led the troops, and galloped away.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
He galloped on the road alone, and the soldiers and young men on both sides dodged away one after another.
"His Royal Highness has an order, quickly block the city gate!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, quickly block the city gate!"
"Why are you stunned, didn't you hear the words?"
"Huh? Why do you want to block the city gates? ”
Some of the soldiers who remained in the city asked in surprise.
"His Royal Highness has an order, do you dare to obey? Just do as you are told! ”
"Yes, yes, the little one will do it."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's too late."
If the weakest place in Jiaozhou City should be the city gate.
If the Tartars are attacked, they may not be able to withstand it.
Fortunately, the Ming army made two preparations before, and demolished all the shops and houses adjacent to the city wall, and the stones and wood were ready-made.
With the combined efforts of the soldiers and the people, the city gates were quickly blocked.
The herald breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was similar at the other three gates, each with a herald who went to give the order, and soon all four gates were blocked.
The Qing soldiers' rushing car found something wrong after hitting a few rounds, why didn't this city gate move at all?
Could it be that it has been blocked?
If so, what they did would be in vain.
Naturally, Jishiha, who was in the distance, noticed all this.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's unstable foothold, but now it seems that there is no chance.
In that case, it's up to the number of people to pile it up.
"Go up the ladder!"
Compared with the general ladder, the ladder has more complete protection for soldiers.
Ordinary arrows barely hurt them.
"The first one to rush to the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
For these green battalion soldiers, a thousand taels of silver is tantamount to a great temptation, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward.
The eyes of the Qing soldiers all showed the essence of a beast.
They rushed forward, screaming in their mouths.
"Kill!"
"Storm the city and kill all the traitors!"
"The woman's money is ours!"
The best way to deal with rushing cars is to use the yaksha to pat the front of the hard steel.
"Tune the Yaksha beat!"
Zheng Jing ordered without hesitation.
"Let's work hard, work hard!"
The yaksha beat is very huge, and it is impossible for one or two people to operate it at all, and it requires more than a dozen people to work together to urge the winch.
"One-two, hey!"
Zheng Jiajun's execution is very strong, and he soon urged the long-unused yaksha beat.
"Put!"
Raise the Nakshatra to the highest point and then lower it, and the strong inertia causes the Nakshatra to quickly smash towards the ladder.
But with a crisp click, the ladder made of bamboo was slapped by the Yaksha.
Those Qing soldiers who were hiding under the ladder fell from a height in an instant.
They fell to the ground, some broke several ribs, some broke their hands and feet, and some broke their necks...
But there is more than one cloud ladder of the Qing army, and with their joint efforts, the number of yaksha shots of the Ming army seems to be a little insufficient.
Damn it!
Zheng Jing said secretly in his heart.
The Qing army obviously assessed the number of defensive equipment in Jiaozhou City, so they chose to attack at the same time.
In this way, the Ming army will take care of one and lose the other, and there will always be a mistake on one side.
The Qing army does not need to bloom everywhere, it only needs to catch a mistake in one place.
"Pass my orders and pour the golden juice."
In any case, the ladder helped the Qing soldiers climb to the top of the city, and pouring gold juice could stop the Qing soldiers from advancing in the last link.
The gold juice is poisonous, and the hot gold juice poured on the Qing soldiers will burn a big wound, and even if they don't die at that time, they will be poisoned to death.
Since these Qing soldiers didn't know whether they were alive or dead, Zheng Jing let them drink a pot.
