Chapter 183: The master doesn't work, but the apprentice is very capable (ask for subscription)
"Hey, this Bai Guangen and Ma Ke are really going to come over and send them to death?"
On the wall of Yang Village, Zheng Zhilong put away his binoculars, his face full of surprise. The horsemen who went out before found that the Shun army stopped in Wuqing, cutting wood and making tools, as if they were preparing for the war. He didn't care much about it.
Because there are two white horses, and there is no cannon in their hands, how can they fight with themselves?
Therefore, the current Zheng Zhilong is really a little confused. Why can't Bai Guangen and Ma Ke think about it, so they have to stumble with themselves?
Although Yang Village is not a real city, but to be honest, the wall nearly two zhang high, as well as the ditch outside, Zheng Zhilong has not been idle in the past few days, so that people have built a sheep and horse wall outside, and also set up a war shed on the wall, for Zheng Jun, who is known for his sharp guns, such a defense is enough. Why did Bai Guangen and Ma Ke still come to die?
"Dashuai, I'm afraid that Bai Guangen, Ma Ke and the like have to come. Tang Tong lost his only son in front of the Pingtong Bridge, and his soldiers were also killed and wounded, but the two generals of the white horse were not injured at all, how could Li Thief be satisfied with it when he saw it?
Even if the leopard has to accept a name for the leopard's head and Liangshan to join the gang, how can the white horse and the like be avoided? ”
Chen Ding's words made Zheng Zhilong laugh when he heard it, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but if it was true, Bai Guangen and Ma Ke would be too sad.
Anyway, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and Zheng Zhilong will not be afraid at all in Yang Village.
The walls of sheep and horses under the city were already covered with musketeers, and all the small cannons had been properly placed, and even on the outside of the trenches, a large number of thistles were scattered. It's just that there aren't too many antlers to keep the horse away.
Suddenly, Zheng Zhilong said "Huh", and he hurriedly raised the telescope again to look carefully. I saw very clearly that there were not only some long-standing players and swordsmen and spearmen in the two armies of the white horse that were coming, but there were also many people pushing heavy shield carts forward, and I was not mistaken.
It's the shield car. It's just that there is no cowhide on the surface, but a row of thick logs. There are quite a few of them.
"Good guy, this shield car is no worse than the big shield car of Tartar......" Hong Xu behind Zheng Zhilong was quite surprised, he held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and counted carefully in his mouth: "One, two, three, four, good guy,...... There were more than 30 of them. "There are so many shield cars in the first batch alone.
"With such a thick wooden row, I'm afraid that even a big turtledove can't penetrate it."
"No, there seem to be sacks piled up behind the wooden raft, if this is sand, it will be the same as the big shield car of the Dai family set Tartar envoys, I'm afraid the Fran cannon below will not move."
Hong Xu said in surprise. I didn't expect the tricks that Tartar would use, but now they were used by Bai Guangen and Ma Ke.
However, Hong Xu didn't panic at all, the Fran cannon couldn't move, and the five-pound cannon moved. At the beginning, the Tartars didn't succeed in Dai's family set, and now the two of them can't succeed.
Most of the Tartar army are good archers with accurate steps, are there two rats on white horses?
In the Tartar army, the morale of the soldiers is high and the fighting spirit is high, can the soldiers under the two white horses compare with them?
As far as he knows, Li Zicheng is clamoring for "Juntian free grain", but this policy has not seen much movement, and Li Zicheng's own brothers have not yet Juntian, let alone Bai Guangen and Ma Ke.
At this moment, in the Dashun army array, Bai Guangen and Ma Ke will not tell the story of Dai Jiaji, but only say that this is a means they learned when they met with the Tartars, which can prevent guns and cannons.
"As long as the shield cart can be pushed to the foot of Yangcun City, and then thrown forward with half-dry grass bundles, the archers behind will shoot rockets indiscriminately, lighting up billowing smoke, which will inevitably obscure the sight of Zheng thieves and greatly reduce the power of Zheng Jun's guns. Then he threw people into the trench with firewood, and after the deed was completed, the army rushed to kill, even if he couldn't take Yang Village, he could kill the Zheng soldiers outside the city. ”
This is the trick that Bai Guangen and Ma Ke came up with, and I have to say that it is still very feasible only on the surface.
Hao Shaoqi nodded again and again when he heard this, this is indeed a good way to deal with Zheng Jun.
"The two generals really live up to their reputations, and they can come up with such a clever plan, Hao will wait and see here."
Hao Shaoqi's attitude towards Bai Guangen is better, because the two are old acquaintances. When Bai Guangen followed the monkeys, they had met each other. Although this does not mean that Bai Guangen has shown mercy to his subordinates after becoming an official soldier, with such an experience, Bai Guangen's environment in the Dashun Dynasty is always easier than that of Ma Ke.
"Prepare for battle!"
The rousing war drums sounded, and the shouts of officers of all sizes resounded one after another in the city: "Prepare for battle!" ”
The gunners were already on standby.
The observer observed the progress of the enemy troops outside the city from the top of the city, and kept bursting out of his mouth one number after another: "The enemy is nearly five hundred steps!" ”
This is not because Zheng Zhilong has any advanced measuring instruments in his hands, he really wants to have this kind of thing, and he has already asked Chen Yujie (Xu Guangqi's nephew) to take people to study, but now Chen Yujie has not yet researched a result.
The observer can accurately report the answer, the reason is that the distance outside the city Zheng Zhilong has already been measured, and on the ground that seems to be unobstructed, there are actually one mark after another, and the accuracy is based on ten steps.
"The enemy is nearly four hundred and fifty paces."
"The enemy is nearly 300 paces ......"
In the number of reports again and again, the shield car is getting closer and closer.
"Knock out the shield cart for me, and each cannon will aim itself." The officers of the guard shouted.
Immediately, the "squeak" of the wooden disc turned sound, the winch slowly adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and with a loud bang, a five-pound cannon took the lead in firing. Immediately, another five-pound cannon next to it also emitted dense gunsmoke, and the two iron balls flew viciously towards the enemy array, one after the other.
The sound of artillery was heard one after another, and on the east wall of Yang Village, in the large area of rising gunsmoke, six five-pound cannons opened fire one after another.
Underneath the wall, a large number of laborers were urged to carry barrels of powder, iron bullets, and cartridge butts. Most of them were official entourages and servants who had been intercepted by Zheng Zhilong in the past few days, and only a few of them were natives of Yang Village.
At the same time, in some of the rooms inside, women of different ages also sat around a long table, on which were placed cut strips of paper, dried hemp rope, granulated medicinal powder, and small projectiles. Their work is obvious.
For these women, this does not seem to be difficult, women in this era, female red is a necessary skill, whether it is a young lady or a small jasper.
It's just that these individual wives have to work under the sharp gaze of Zheng Junbing, which can cause them more trouble.
After all, the women who can be taken away from Beijing by those who are officials, aside from their relatives, are mostly beautiful women.
Now being stared at so directly by big men, many people are very uncomfortable, as if they have a moth.
But what about them?
It's just some official wives and aunts, aren't they treated the same now?
Finally, there are some grenades......
The vacant house in Yang Village has given Zheng Zhilong a lot of convenience, and now it is full of these people.
Very lucky, the first cannonball directly hit a advancing shield car, "boom" a loud sound, hit the shield car front of the wooden row completely shattered, broken wood and sand flying, the axle seemed to be unable to bear, three wheels jumped straight up, the heavy body of the car like a click crawled nest. The surrounding soldiers and gunners were hit by the pond fish, and their whole bodies were bloody and blurred by the stirred up pieces of wood, and they rolled to the ground and howled.
Another cannonball followed by it, it bounced on the ground, did not hit the shield car, but broke into a military formation behind the shield car, and directly walked out of a flesh alley in the crowd, I don't know how many people's arms and legs were taken along the way, how many people were wounded and killed, and only a terrible scream was left.
Six five-pound cannons opened fire, and only the first two cannons made a meritorious service, but Zheng Zhilong was already very satisfied.
Next, he stood on the fence and watched as the bullets exploded, hitting the shield cart or spilling into the crowd.
Just approaching from 300 paces to 200 paces, the Shun army did not know how many artillery they had suffered and how many losses they had suffered.
"Fuck."
In the rear of the two armies of the white horse, Hao Shaoqi put down the binoculars in his hand and couldn't help but curse in his mouth. This Zheng Zhilong's musket has not yet been seen, but the cannon is indeed sharp.
"Uncle, don't worry, when you encounter this kind of person, you have to grind slowly when you fight. There are wooden ones outside the horizontal and vertical sides, and when the shield carts are exhausted, a few more will be built, and they will always be piled up under the city. You can rest assured, we will never let Zheng Zhilong please him. ”
Bai Guangen said busily. Marco immediately nodded in agreement.
"The Tartars outside the gate fought earlier, and they were also grinding slowly like this?" Hao Shaoqi doesn't like this kind of battle.
"Without cannons, you can only wear it out like this. The Tartars outside the gate are not good at attacking cities, and the reason why the fortified cities in the land of Liaodong have been lost one after another is that some rats are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they surrender shamelessly. ”
"Otherwise, just look at the battle of Jinzhou, Zu Dashou has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and he can still hold on to the city for two years......"
"The reason why Zhu Ming's soldiers and horses lost one battle after another was entirely because the field battle was inferior to Jianyu. Caused by the loss of initiative. ”
In the midst of their chatter, more and more shield carts were destroyed by the attacking forces of the two armies. Some people were directly frightened and fled.
The soldiers and generals sent by the two were all useless recruits, and when they saw that they could only be beaten and not fight back, their mentality collapsed.
Bai Guangen waved his hand, and his nephew Bai Liangzhu led a group of family members forward, holding big knives and spears, and without saying anything, he stabbed some of the deserters who screamed to death.
At this time, don't you have to use thunder means?
From the morning until the sun was in the west, I saw that the dark clouds in the sky were gathering, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.
Bai Guangen came to his senses, looking at the big shield cars that were beaten on the battlefield, these are bunkers. Glancing at Ma Ke, he pulled out his knife and yelled at his subordinates: "The clouds are thick, this God help me." You personally led your troops forward, sparing no effort and attacking with all your might. The foot soldiers are holding rockets to cover, Ding Nan is holding a bundle of grass and dry firewood to fill the trench, and he will personally lead the troops to press the formation, who dares to take a step back, there is no forgiveness! ”
