I don't know the specific time, judging from Lin Feng's experience, it is about five o'clock in the morning, the lights in the Han army camp are bright, and a large group of soldiers are chaotically receiving meat and vegetable soup according to the system, and eating breakfast with fried noodles.

Since coming to this era, Lin Feng has always had a big opinion on the issue of eating in the army. He would never have thought that as a group with the greatest physical exertion, the army only served two meals a day, one meal in the morning and then one meal in the evening, and the quality of the food was very poor, it was really a bit inhumane, no wonder later generations of foreigners said that the soldiers of the Qing army were yellow and thin, so Lin Feng made reforms in the face of the opposition of the generals during the training, and ate three meals a day according to the rules of later generations, of course, this decision was resolutely supported by the soldiers.

The first time he commanded such a large-scale war, he was inevitably a little nervous, and Lin Feng's appetite was not very good, in fact, he had been tossing and turning last night and didn't close his eyes much, until he squinted at dawn, and he hastily picked up a few bites before throwing away the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed to the forward position with his own Chinese soldiers.

It was not until after the occupation of Beijing that Lin Feng corrected a small erroneous view, in this era, the Qing army had popularized the monoculars, which looked very advanced, and the court craftsmen of the Qing court could successfully imitate them, and the quality was not inferior to the original goods of Spain and Portugal. The Yamen of the Ministry of War has hoarded a lot of telescopes, this thing is used as a strategic material, basically the Qing generals above the rank of deputy general have been distributed, and now after the capture of Beijing, of course, Lin Feng will not be polite, and immediately after the capture, it is equipped with officers above the Han military camp - although these people don't think this thing is of any great use.

The monocular in Lin Feng's hand is said to have been handed down by Xuanye's father Fulin, inlaid with gold and silver and polished beautifully, it looks like a work of art, but the quality is not very good, but fortunately, the observation target is not far away, with the little morning light in the sky, Lin Feng can still see the head of Tianjin very clearly.

Last night, Shi Lang's troops tossed the Tianjin defenders all night, and now it seems to have some effect, the Qing soldiers standing at the head of the city are obviously a little tired, but the patrol officers and soldiers who come and go at the head of the city are still in formation, and the order between the back and forth is cautious, and it does not show any panic, in the morning breeze of dawn, except for the occasional shouting of a few officers' orders, the city is silent, compared to the Han army who is eating breakfast in the camp, it is more like an iron-blooded military camp.

Lin Feng sighed, he was so compared, he really felt a little bad in his heart, at this time, the generals in the army had already rushed to the front, he turned around, pointed to the city and smiled bitterly at Zhou Peigong, "Tsk...... Look at it, people are a bit of an army, and if you look at our team, it's really like a market. ”

The generals behind him all blushed, and Zhou Peigong said, "Let's rush the army, and we have always only practiced offensive skills, this ......" Speaking of this, he himself seemed to find it difficult to justify himself, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I remember that this Tianjin general soldier seems to be called 'Zheyata'," Lin Feng turned his head to look at Chen Menglei, frowned and said, "Didn't you say that this kid is a straw bale and doesn't have much forage in his stomach?!" ”

"Dashuai...... This Zheyata turned out to have a bad reputation in the Beijing Division," Chen Menglei's face was a little nervous, "He came out of the Three Banners, he was a Guerjia nobleman, he was originally the guard foreman of the pseudo-Shunzhi Emperor, and the foreign official who was only released last year only knew how to drink and fight in the Beijing Division, and he only knew how to drink and fight, prostitute and fight for the style, and he was not a Dolgon family before, so he never brought a soldier......"

Lin Feng pursed his lips, pointed to the head of the city and said, "I can't see it, this kid seems to be very capable of leading troops." ”

“…… When it comes to leading soldiers, I think of a person! Shi Lang suddenly interjected, facing everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled restrainedly, "I have been idle in Beijing all these years, and I don't treat us well in other places, only the military department is a little familiar, so I often hear people talk about things - this Tianjin Wei has a deputy general who was very popular the year before last......"

"I said Lao Shi, can you just make a long story short? It's going to be a war, are you really nagging?! Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Shi Lang arched his hand and said, "During the autumn exercise the year before last, there was a deputy general of this Tianjin Wei who didn't know why, and a deputy commander of the Eight Banners Forward Battalion stood up, and then the more troublesome and fiercer, it got to the lobby of the military department, and the military department Shangshu at that time was Mingzhu was ready to wipe the mud and reconcile it, who would have thought that this Tianjin Wei deputy general actually didn't sell the face of the military department, and moved his fist with the deputy commander in the military department lobby, and beat him up in front of all the officials......"

The generals gasped, and the generals in the army beat up their colleagues in front of the military department, which was indeed a bit appalling, Chen Menglei suddenly patted his head, "I remembered...... This matter did make a fuss back then, and this person seems to be still in Tianjin Wei, but he was demoted several levels by Mingzhu. He frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Shi Lang and said, "General Shi, this person seems to be ...... It seems to be called Zhao Liangdong, right?! ”

"Zhao Liangdong ?!!" Lin Feng's hand was loosened, the monocular almost fell off, he secretly glanced at the generals, and found that they were all looking at him with a strange look, smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, the weather is a little colder." Then his face turned grim, "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The generals responded in unison. Lin Feng said slowly, "General Shi, your artillery is concentrating on firepower at the moment, bombarding the city head with all its might, pulling out the Hongyi cannon and the siege general artillery, and not stopping for an hour, trying to suppress the defenders at the head of the city!" ”

Shi Lang bowed calmly, and Lin Feng said to Liu Laosi, "Fourth, your troops are the main force in this siege, do you know it?!" ”

Liu Laosi was extremely excited, a few months ago he was just an insignificant soldier, but now there are more than 8,000 people under his command, and the soldiers are excellent and well-equipped, at this moment the big war is imminent, I really don't know how to express the excitement in his heart, he looked at Lin Feng and nodded, grateful, nervous, excited several moods blended together, the expression on his face looked extremely strange, with a three-point hideous smile, and the scar on his face jumped and jumped.

"Hey, look at the ...... of this dog's day" Lin Feng knew that he was nervous, and deliberately pointed at Liu Laosi, laughing at the generals, relieving a lot of tension, he patted Liu Laosi on the shoulder, "Fourth, don't panic, you are still afraid of this small scene when you hit from Liaodong to Fujian?" It's all about it, and it's hard to get you?! ”

Liu Laosi calmed down a lot, smiled reluctantly, and solemnly gave a military salute to Lin Feng, "Mark Liu Laosi, I was ordered to fight, please show the marshal!" ”

"I don't have anything to 'show off', I'll be straight with you this time, wait for me to draw two battalions of musketeers in the Chinese army, and cover you with Lao Shi's artillery, if you kid can fill in the moat for me today, it will be your first work!" - How?! ”

After a night of repeated test firing, Shi Lang's gunners are now in all directions of the city of Tianjin, under an order, dozens of heavy artillery carried by the Chinese army were fired together, the masonry of the head of the city of Tianjin burst into the smoke, and the defenders of the wall of the Qing army were also very alert at this time, and after the first round of salvos, Lin Feng could no longer see the figure in the telescope.

In this battle, the Qing army was completely at a disadvantage in terms of artillery, and the city of Tianjin was not equipped with any heavy artillery at all, and the four small cannons reported by the spy Lin Feng never saw them appear. Now the siege heavy artillery of the Han army is almost unscrupulous close shooting, the shooting accuracy effect is very good, after a while the city tower on the main gate has been full of holes, the lethality of solid ammunition is not as small as they imagined, you can see from the telescope, after a huge iron ball hits the masonry building, it will often fly up countless rubble, causing a large area of killing, although you can't see people, but imagine that the Qing army curled up on the narrow city wall, it should be unavoidable.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Han troops outside the city suddenly cheered in unison, and tens of thousands of voices roared and almost suppressed the sound of artillery firing. Lin Feng was strange in his heart, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to look left and right, only to see two apricot-yellow dragon flags hanging on the city tower being hit by artillery on the flagpole and falling down.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......" several big drums behind the side sounded in unison, and a terrible shout penetrated the heavy cannon sound and drum beat, piercing the eardrums, Lin Feng smiled slightly, and followed the prestige, only to see Liu Laosi in full armor, riding on a jujube red horse, viciously shouting orders to his soldiers. At this time, Lin Feng suddenly found that the tunic military uniform and the domed cloth military hat were indeed extremely strange after being wrapped in armor, and the nondescript was simply miserable in terms of visual beauty. He smiled wryly and said to himself, "It seems that we have to find a master to design the matching armor and ordnance." ”

Taking advantage of the morale of the Qing army flag when it was shot down, Liu Laosi's troops launched the first round of attacks, more than 2,000 sturdy men wearing heavy armor and carrying large shields similar to door panels, slowly moving towards the direction of the city wall in a horizontal formation, behind them, were two battalions of musketeers commanded by Rick, dozens of mule-pulled carts loaded with sandbags, and slowly advanced behind the army.

Lin Feng rode on a high place, coldly watching the officers and soldiers under his command advance slowly, the artillery firing became more and more intense, the rumbling sound seemed to suppress everything in heaven and earth, the whole battlefield spread the smell of air burning, at this time the infantry had approached the moat, and the musketeers mechanically put out an attack formation under the command of Rick, and prepared to shoot at the wall.

Suddenly, and expectedly, there was a sudden burst of dense bangs and gongs and drums on the head of the city, and the magic head of the city that originally looked empty was surging, and a huge arrow as thick as an arm was ejected by the heavy crossbow arrows of the city head, instantly penetrating the bodies of the two shield-holding soldiers, nailing them to the ground fiercely, and the two soldiers wearing the big arrows were not dead for a while, and their hands and feet were moving around on the shaft of the arrow, and they couldn't stop struggling and shouting.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers at the head of the city suddenly broke out a deafening shout, the sound shook for several miles, and for a while it actually overshadowed the cannon and drum beat of the Han army, Lin Feng was startled, and the war horse under the crotch was also often uneasy, and the front hooves were raised, almost throwing Lin Feng off the horse, but fortunately, the guards around him were quick and fast, and they grabbed the reins, shouted softly, and stabilized the war horse.

Lin Feng's heart palpitated, and a word suddenly appeared in his mind: "Take the lead!" Before he could hold back his mood, he suddenly found that the sound of the cannon was intermittent and weak at the moment, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and turned his head to look at the artillery position, only to see the Han artillery officer standing on the side looking at the city stupidly, and Shi Lang, who was not far away, was furious at the moment, angrily left his entourage, rushed over, pulled out his waist knife and reversed the back of the knife, and slashed at the officer's forehead, the officer immediately broke his head and bleed, covering his face and slumping on the ground. Shi Lang turned around, holding a bloody waist knife, and thundered in the face of a group of officers and soldiers.

The sound of the cannon revived, Lin Feng turned his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing that Shi Lang had not fully integrated into his army, if he hadn't had scruples, the knife just now would definitely not be the back of the knife.

Although the artillery bombardment was fierce, it could not suppress the momentum of the defenders to fight back, and the crossbow arrows on the city were shot down like raindrops, which were actually mixed with a lot of guns and birds, which caused heavy pressure on the Han saber and shield soldiers under the city.

But the Qing soldiers on the city wall did not please well, after the initial panic, the musketeers commanded by Rick gradually calmed down, they stood a little farther away, although the crossbow arrows shot from the height could hit them, but in the end the strength was not large, did not cause heavy casualties, at this moment they were not afraid to shoot at the Qing soldiers on the city wall, after several rows of volleys, countless Qing soldiers fell from the city wall, at this time Shi Lang personally commanded the artillery bombardment also became more and more accurate, and the musket battalion cooperated, causing huge casualties to the Qing army at the head of the city.

Lin Feng gradually settled down, put down the monoculars, turned his head and smiled at Chen Menglei beside him, "Old Chen, it seems that the Qing army only has these few brushes!" The words were especially in the ears, the Qing army at the head of the city suddenly shouted in unison again, several loud noises sounded, the formation of dense musket battalions fell on the ground, Lin Feng was taken aback, I didn't know when a few small cannons appeared on the city, the sound of the right people was the sound of the Qing army's artillery firing, the first round of concentrated shooting killed dozens of musketeers, Lin Feng hurriedly turned around, pulled over a personal soldier and shouted, "Go, tell General Shi Lang, kill those small cannons!" ”

The soldiers just ran away, the suspension bridge at the head of the city suddenly shook, creaking and slowly falling, Lin Feng was dumbfounded, before he reacted, the drawbridge had already fallen with a bang, the city gate was wide open, the Qing army under the guidance of more than 100 cavalry, launched a counterattack counterattack, the sword and shield soldiers who originally covered the river filling operation under the city were caught off guard, and the formation was almost instantly disrupted, and the soldiers who lost the protection of the shield array suffered heavy casualties when they landed under the dense crossbow shooting.

Lin Feng's brain was blank for a while, and his chest was suddenly extremely irritable, he was not very distressed about the thousands of soldiers under the city, according to the current scale of the Han army, even if these thousands of people were all killed, it didn't matter the overall situation, he was annoyed that everyone on his side was full of confidence before the siege, but he was passive everywhere when he fought, and these few moves of the Qing army were not a peerless nirvana, but the bad thing was that he didn't make any preparations beforehand, and he didn't seem to have any way to deal with it like this.

In desperation, Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Zhou Peigong, he stood there stunned, looking very surprised, Lin Feng thought dejectedly, how could this famous general in later generations be at this level?!
