Chapter 290 Xiangyang Heavy City

The Han army came to the city to rescue Xiangyang, but the tens of thousands of Han people in the city did not have a trace of joy!

Today, the people in the high-ranking families do not have a sense of superiority. The shrewd lifter was one step too late, so that the family was trapped in the city. It is estimated that it will take a while for the Han army to reach Xiangyang no matter how fast it is, and it was planned to leave the battlefield in a few days! It's a pity that he lost his life carelessly, and now everything can only be left to fate.

"Master, the secret passage has been dug up! However, there is not much food! "The old butler is worried!

"How many days are enough?" There used to be so much food that it was moldy, but now he has to worry about it!

The old housekeeper also had a sad face: "There are dozens of people up and down the master, and there are only three days of rations at most!" But to make dry food, it costs a lot! Except for the dry food of the young masters! We're going to run out of food in two days! ”

Juren couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Let the young masters hide in the dark tunnel, and tomorrow we will all leave the mansion!" ”

After that, life or death can only depend on fate, and the people even plan to bring their wives and concubines to the south of the city, and it will be difficult for the hungry slaves to run back to the north of the city to plague these children and children!

After the dense marching movement came, tens of thousands of Han people sighed in mourning!

The king of Xiangyang, Jierharang, didn't smile much! It's over! Inner Liaodong is also going to be finished! Fortunately, in the cold wild forests of Wailiaodong, it can still leave a glimmer of life for the Jurchens.

The 10,000 Jurchen warriors are very indifferent, they have enjoyed enough women, silver, human heads, and wine in the past few years, and a death is just a scar.

The Jurchens have accepted their fate, and the 30,000 old thieves have no choice but to resist. But the 130,000 recruits or former guards were unwilling to prepare to die with the Tartars.

However, the generals and generals of the Green Battalion and the thousands of generals were escorted by the Jurchens, which is also the reason why the 130,000 Green Battalion soldiers couldn't mess up if they wanted to.

A new day.

The sun is always after the wind and rain, but the sun at this time is like the wind and rain that makes the green battalion soldiers at the head of the city panic.

"Hey! I'm afraid it's going to be over this time! "Outside the city, the black armor was like a sea, and one cannon after another was pushed out.

The old soldier looked left and right and scolded in a low voice: "You kid don't want to die, don't let the old thief and the Tartar hear it!" ”

10,000 old thieves and 2,000 Tartars are interspersed in all parts of the Green Camp Army, and the traitors dare not talk nonsense!

Xiaomin was startled and immediately shut his mouth, fortunately they had just walked by, otherwise he would have to be punished if he didn't die.

In the attack on Xiangyang, the four gates were besieged and killed, and the Han army was absolutely not allowed to let go of the Tartars and leave to harm the township.

At this time, all the army commanders were at the south gate, and in the telescope: the faces of the Qing soldiers were all in the eyes of everyone.

"Commander, the Qing army is in chaos, we can make good use of it!" Chen Chang was also unwilling to force the Xiangyang soldiers to death, otherwise the Han army would suffer at least one-third of the casualties.

Chen Zhong nodded: "What Commander Chen said is true!" The Tartars must not be let go, and most of the old thieves deserve to die! However, the Green Battalion recruits are not guilty of death. ”

It's another hand-to-hand fight! Zhang Shouyi frowned and said, "Dare to ask the commander: Can you command 60,000 war bulls to charge?" ”

Chen Zhong nodded with a light smile: "This commander can naturally, but no one can stop the crazy scene of the cattle in the decisive battle of Xuzhou!" Therefore, only 20,000 war cattle can be used, and the war cattle of each army must be divided into battles. ”

The crazy war bull simply doesn't recognize the six relatives, especially the war bull that does not belong to the same army, and a big war will break out as soon as there is a collision. Fortunately, they will not fight to the death, but they will also be punished with dog blood.

"20,000 is enough!" Zhang Shou made a special suggestion, but he didn't want Wu Li to be in the limelight anymore. At the same time, with the cooperation of war bulls, they can quickly attack the Qing soldiers.

Although heavy horses were also acceptable, the narrow terrain of the streets and alleys and the large amount of stone and wood garbage also made it difficult for the cavalry to fully exert their combat effectiveness. Coupled with the dense array of guns and shields, it was difficult for the heavy horses to crash away.

It was Lin Hu's turn to speak: "Tartar has decided to do a trapped beast death match, and it must be resolved quickly!" Otherwise, they will only be angry with tens of thousands of city citizens. ”

Chen Zhong immediately nodded in agreement: "What Commander Lin said is extremely true!" The Qing army must be defeated as soon as possible, and now Guanzhong is stable, but the rebellion of the state capitals in the northwest border will not surrender easily. Therefore, it is necessary to fight a quick battle and save the strength to recover the northwest guards. ”

"Yes, Commander." Everyone immediately responded, the northwest is vast and the terrain is changeable, and most of them are still tribal people! It is already rare that they do not take the initiative to attack the Han army, let alone think that they will surrender easily.

After the discussion, as soon as the generals left, the artillerymen immediately became excited.

"Hey! The commanders and generals are finally gone, fire the artillery, fire the cannon quickly. The artillery battalion commander couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Shou, who was behind the artillery, smiled secretly: "Haha, Wu Li, your battalion commander is so unkind to see the commander?" ”

"Hehe, Zhang Shoudon't talk about trivial things. Your gunners are not smiling either. Knowing that Zhang Shou was joking, Wu Li still couldn't help frowning.

The laughter behind him made the artillery battalion commander's body tremble.

"Ahh Throne, I'm just kidding! ”

Wu Li shook his head: "Listen to Lao Tzu, the commander is the commander and the deputy chief of the general staff of the Imperial Military Department, if it is a felony in the Ming Dynasty, but you have no intention: after the war, I went to the Military Discipline Department to receive ten sticks." ”

"It's a military seat." The artillery battalion commander is not happy or sad, he can only consider himself unlucky!

The artillery battalion commander turned around and stopped paying attention to the two, he was about to open fire! Nothing is more important than running.

"Hey, fire."

"Open fire."

A hundred field guns of the two armies roared almost simultaneously, and the ground under their feet immediately shook.

The Han army surrounded Xiangyang on all sides, and the North City Gate was in charge of the naval division, and although their troops were small enough to artillery, they were the most powerful. The north and east are close to the Han River, and the Qing soldiers will not go out of the city from the two gates in the northeast if they want to break through.

Xiangyang is surrounded by water, and there are moats tens of meters and hundreds of meters wide on all sides. It is already difficult to block the Yuncheng River with ordinary landfills, if the grass and wood soldiers can still swim over and jump on the city wall.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the heavy city of Xiangyang relied on its unique topography and landform to block the Mongolian army of one million for decades. This is also the reason why Jilharang would rather defend Xiangyang, even if he dies, the Han army will suffer heavy losses. It is best to let the Manchus recuperate for two years, otherwise it will be difficult for the demoralized warriors today to resist the attack of the Han army. Two years can also allow them to reserve food and train a large number of workers and traitors.

When night falls, it's supposed to be quiet. But all the army commanders and division commanders gathered at the headquarters, and Chen Zhong also had a smile on his face.

"Generals, after the shelling, there are many gaps in the heavy city of Xiangyang! Especially in the northern city, the walls have collapsed! It's a pity that there are iron locks to block it, otherwise the sailor can directly enter the moat. ”

Zhang Shou said questioningly: "Commander, do you already have a plan?" ”

Chen Zhong smiled and nodded, then looked at Luo Hu.

Luo Hu clasped his fists at everyone and saluted, and then said: "Tonight, my Fifth Army will attack the South Gate, and then the army will attack Xiangyang from the South Gate. ”

Wu Li immediately disagreed: "Why is this commander the Fifth Army first!" Their numbers are even smaller than those of our Handong Army! ”

Luo Hu smiled and shook his head, it was indeed not their turn to enter the city first.

"Quiet." As soon as Chen Nan spoke, the army commanders also quieted down.

"Tonight, the north gate will continue to be shelled, sitting in the posture of the main attack, and then the south gate will be swam into the moat by the soldiers who are familiar with the water, and then the giant snake will break into the city to block the Qing soldiers, and then the soldiers of the fifth army will enter the city and open the city gate and city bridge." This is also the reason why the south gate did not bombard the city gate, but the city gate was bombarded on both sides. Those who are better can climb the city wall.

This! Wu Li smiled bitterly and nodded: "It seems that it must be the Guangxi wolf soldiers!" ”

Even Liang En nodded, not many of their clan wolf soldiers were familiar with water.

Lin Hu was also completely convinced and said: "This Lingnan Han people can go to the battlefield, enter the river and the sea, and even more powerful the world, and this seat has to be convinced!" ”

Luo Hu knew that Lin Hu was a sycophant of the emperor, but he was also very useful.

"Captain Lin has won the award, and the Han people in Lingnan are not the same, they migrated from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River!" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
