Chapter 208: Civil Officials Abide by the Law of the City (4)
Chen Kai sat in front of the city gate building, Lan Deng and Zhou Quanbin were responsible for the left wing of the north city wall, and the other was responsible for the right wing of the north city wall, and even organized the defense of the Ming army.
Under the city, the Qing army Wuyang and Wuyang rushed over, and the Ming army was on the head of the city, and the copper fire, the Buddha machine gun, the general cannon, the second general artillery, and the tiger squat cannon shot repeatedly. The Qing army rushed into the city, the level of attack was obviously insufficient, and the density of units was too large, which directly led to higher than normal casualties under the Ming artillery fire.
The sound of war drums was as rapid as Ma Degong's state of mind, and the Qing army did not dare to hesitate in the slightest, so they couldn't take care of it too much. Before paying too much attention to the casualties and anything, the Qing army rushed to the city.
The humble lookout was slowly pushed to a position where the shooters above were enough to inflict damage on the Ming army at the head of the city, and several of them had been destroyed by the Ming army. But the shooters on these lookouts inevitably interfered with the shooting of the defenders, and the Ming fire, whether artillery, birds, bows, and crossbows, began to deflect more and more towards these lookouts. At this time, the Qing troops who followed behind the lookout shouted and carried the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
There is no moat in the center and left, which is a big drawback. The Qing army went straight to the bottom of the city, and immediately erected a ladder and began to ascend the city. These Qing soldiers were all veterans, with a shield on their right hand and a climb with their feet with their left hand, not daring to pause at all.
The Qing army's offensive had already entered a strong state at the very beginning, and Lan Deng and Zhou Quanbin in the city did not need to think about it, and ordered the artillery and shooters to concentrate on attacking the lookout at the same time, and at the same time, they transferred the people who were guarding the city behind.
Throwing down the rolling wood and stones, the people who assisted in the defense didn't care to see if the Qing army was stoned to death by them, so they hurriedly squatted down or fled backwards, but there were still many people who could not escape the shooting of the Qing army.
The next moment, another team of assistant guards threw rolling wood stones downward, not far from Chen Kai's left, and the Qing army shot an arrow straight into the throat, and the man fell down in response, and pressed the man who worked with him to lift the rolling log below, vomiting blood. At this time, the lookout was bombarded by a copper pot on the other side, and after shooting through the two pillars, it could no longer bear the weight of itself and several Qing army shooters on the platform, and it squeaked and fell to the ground with a broken sound......
The intensity of the battle at the first moment was something that Chen Kai did not imagine in advance, but this time the offensive came violently and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the ability to withstand casualties to reach the limit, and the Qing army began to flee earlier than normal, and drove more Qing troops to abandon the siege task and those siege equipment.
In the distance, a lookout platform facing the Huangshu Gate collapsed in a raging fire, and a Qing soldier who could not escape was stoned to death in the rubble.
Lan Deng and Zhou Quanbin arranged for the officers under their command to continue to deploy the defense, and then came to Chen Kai, and then the former gave up his hand and praised: "The last general has learned a hand this time, and Chen's method of joining the army has angered the Tartars, resulting in a lack of level in their attacks. ”
"Yes, and the words that were shouted, the Tartar will inevitably be touched in his heart. If you can't be one-hearted, it will be even more difficult to concentrate on combat on the battlefield. ”
It is not so much to provoke the Qing army, in fact, it is more important to say that Chen Kai has been trying to force Ma Degong to attack in a hurry, and Ma Degong faced Chen Kai's ridicule and laughter, since he could not do the same thing, then he could only take practical actions to stop it, otherwise his morale would decline, let alone win the war.
Zhou Quanbin saw this more clearly than Landen, but the lack of attack level mentioned by Landon was also the goal that Chen Kai needed to achieve. After a while, the Qing army seemed to be still preparing to transport the siege equipment for the next wave of attacks, and the Ming army had already completed the change of defense. Seeing this, Chen Kai picked up the tin horn, and then skimmed a smile.
"That Counselor Feng, this official heard that your Governor Zhang is a good man, a big man, and full of tricks. The official felt the ancient style of this Longyang broken sleeve, and specially invited the storyteller in the city to write a biography for you, called the blood in the dry road, and now ask him to read the climax part of the paragraph for you, remember to pay others......"
………………
"How dare this guy do this, on the day the city is broken, I have to tear his mouth!"
In one afternoon, the Qing army attacked three times, except for the first time, all of which were when the soldiers did not get a better rest, and even the siege equipment was incomplete, and Chen Kai mocked him so that he could not avoid a decline in morale and had to attack. was disrupted by Chen Kai three times in a row, and when the last attack was launched, Ma Degong saw that it was not the right way, and he hurriedly withdrew his troops, and drove the soldiers back to the camp to rest without even touching the city wall.
In fact, they have already seen that the support of the defenders of the city can also resist this attack of the Qing army by virtue of their own combat effectiveness, and it is indeed because they have escaped without a fight in the front and right towns. And Chen Kai's small means are just to make them more uncomfortable and disgusting, and make the losses of the Ming army smaller, that's all. It's just that the first day of the strong attack, which was originally pinned on by Ma Degong and Feng Junrui, ended so comically, Rao is two have led the army for many years, and they know that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and they can't avoid the word anger
"It's that we underestimated these pirates, and tomorrow we have a day off, made full preparations, and brought all the artillery over. If you don't take it seriously, you won't be able to. ”
Soldiers, the country's major affairs. After this battle, Ma Degong had put away his contempt for the Ming army and turned to seek a more secure way to break the city. The Qing army was ordered to begin building more siege equipment, and at the same time did their best to bring in slightly larger caliber artillery that was still on the way, and had not even gone too far.
Ma Degong was trying his best to prepare, and at the same time, through officers at all levels, pointed out to his subordinates that what Chen Kai mentioned in the loudspeaker was nonsense, and he should not take it to heart, which affected the battle. And further serious military law, restore the original atmosphere of the elite of the Fujian Green Battalion, which was once forbidden by order.
After a day, everything was ready. Since the artillery arrived at night, Ma Degong gave the artillery crew a little more time to rest, and it was only at the time that nearly half of the army returned to the city.
The Ming army in the city obviously used this day to repair the city defense to the maximum, and even the plum blossom piles outside the city were newly erected, which was completely a posture of being ready for battle.
In order to avoid the embarrassment the day before yesterday, Ma Degong didn't plan to talk nonsense, and simply let the Qing army make the final preparations. However, at this time, Feng Junrui seemed to have a knot in his heart that had not been unraveled, so he simply took out an iron horn like a monkey offering a treasure and presented it in front of Ma Degong's eyes.
"General Feng, did you let Ben Shuai take this to fight against Chen Kai?"
Ma Degong frowned, he was extremely dissatisfied, but if he thought about it carefully, Feng Junrui was actually very difficult, he was Zhang Xuesheng's cronies, Zhang Xuesheng was so humiliated by Chen Kai, if he couldn't even do a little practical counterattack, then a "what do you want" was enough to make Feng Junrui irreversible.
At this moment, seeing Ma Degong's dissatisfaction, Feng Junrui hurriedly explained. In his words, he had already selected a loud soldier who was the best at scolding the street at the head of the camp, and asked him to step forward to insult Chen Kai, and even he had thought about the content, it was nothing more than Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong's "full of affection", and Dong Yougu was not clear, Chen Kai killed Zheng Zhiguan because Zheng Zhiguan discovered the secret of Chen Kai and Dong Yougu, it was all about the relationship between men and women, in fact, it was just to find a place.
"General Feng, if we take the city of Zhongzuo, we can get back the face we have lost, and we don't need to be so troublesome."
Having said that, Zhang Xuesheng's feelings are not good not to take into account. After a little thought, Ma Degong asked Feng Junrui to give it a try, and he continued his preparations. However, when the capable man walked to the front of the two armies with an iron trumpet, before the first sentence could be spoken, ten tin trumpets came out of the city.
"Ma Degong, are you a lady who hasn't been out of the cabinet, who do you say so softly!"
