Chapter 355: Bloody Battle Huaiqing (First Update!) )
Tong Yanghe's doubts were expected by Hong Chengchou.
But he didn't care.
He is the commander-in-chief in charge of this operation, and he can act arbitrarily when necessary.
What's more, Hong Chengchou has deduced the entire plan many times before, and every detail has been carefully scrutinized, and there will definitely be no problems.
Today he is going to make the first contribution to breaking new ground!
"Governor Tong will look at it, this governor will definitely blow up this Baoning city wall!"
Hong Chengchou said with great momentum.
Above the city, Zhang Xianzhong frowned.
I don't know if the people sent out to report the news have broken through the blockade of the Tartars, and I don't know if Dingguo and Nengqi know if the Tartars have attacked the rear.
Relying only on defense, even if you can hold it, it is too demoralizing.
Zhang Xianzhong is very fucking at the moment and wants to fight with the Tartars.
"Into your mother's hair, your fucking grandmother's attack!"
Zhang Xianzhong clenched his fists and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"Father, I don't think the Tartars are waiting for something? Could it be that they are waiting for the cannons in red? ”
Zhang Kewang also felt that it was strange that the Tartars were slow to attack, so he swallowed and spitted.
"Impossible!"
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said: "The red-clothed cannon is so heavy, it is extremely difficult to transport it on flat ground. It is impossible to transport the red-coated cannon across Daba Mountain! ”
What Zhang Xianzhong said is indeed true.
Daba Mountain is dangerous, and the red-coated cannons are so heavy, if the Qing army really transports the red-coated cannons over, it will be unless they have divine power.
"So what do we do now?"
Zhang Kewang said with some uneasiness.
God knows what the Tartars are secretly making up for fame, so it's a bit scary to wait like this.
"Respond to change with the same! We don't believe that they can turn the sky upside down! ”
Zhang Xianzhong has experienced a lot of big scenes, and although the current situation is urgent, it is not to the point where he is scared to pee.
What's more, the best thing to do now is to wait, anyway, they are on the defensive side, so there is no need to worry at all.
...
...
"Your Excellency Governor, the tunnel has been dug up!"
A soldier came to Hong Chengchou and said respectfully.
"Oh? So fast? Have all the coffins been sent in? ”
Hong Chengchou was a little surprised, this speed was a little faster than he expected.
"It's all laid out according to your requirements, and you can light the primer as soon as you give the order."
"Yes, yes!"
Hong Chengchou was very satisfied, stroked his beard lightly and said, "You did a good job, order everyone to retreat away and ignite the introduction." ”
Since it was the first attempt, Hong Chengchou couldn't get a safe distance, so he asked the soldiers to make the introduction longer. This gives you enough time to evacuate to a safe location in the event of a future ignition.
All Qing soldiers were curious.
They all wanted to see how powerful the weapon of mass destruction was in Governor Hong's mouth.
Everything is ready and the primer is finally ignited.
Looking at the primer scurrying on the spark, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
Can gunpowder really blow up walls?
I don't know how long it took for the spark to finally reach the ground, and after a while, everyone heard a loud bang, and then the rubble flew, rolling up thick dust and covering the sky.
All of them had a look of horror.
Looking at it just now, it's almost like the ground moving, and the power of this gunpowder is terrifying?
"Kill, kill in!"
According to the original plan, the Qing soldiers had to charge as soon as the explosion occurred, so that the defenders could be caught by surprise.
After the military order was issued, the green battalion soldiers led by Liu Jinzhong rushed to the front, followed by the Han army banner soldiers under Tong Yanghe. As for the elite of the Eight Banners led by Shuo Zhan, they pressed around Hong Chengchou, without the slightest intention of stepping forward to fight.
Naturally, someone will do this kind of life-fighting thing.
Gradually, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the Qing soldiers were able to see the scene in front of them.
I saw a large section of the city wall caving in the direction of the inner city, forming a gentle slope.
The soldiers of the Qing army were overjoyed.
So they don't even need to be assisted by tools like ladders to climb up.
The Green Battalion launched the first wave of charge!
This battle was the first time Liu Jinzhong participated in a major war after his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he was naturally eager to make meritorious contributions.
He wanted to prove to Governor Hong and Governor Tong that his role Liu Jinzhong was not only to provide the Qing army with the reality of Zhang Xianzhong's deployment in Sichuan, but also to be a rare fierce general.
"Rush, rush! The first to rush into the city will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! ”
There will be brave men under the great reward.
In order to prove himself to the Qing court, Liu Jinzhong also let go.
The Green Battalion rushed towards the gentle slope like a tidal wave.
Although they were still part of the Great Western Army not long ago, they did not have any psychological pressure to fight back this time.
In troubled times, it is all too common to change flags.
If you want to survive, you have to throw yourself into the arms of the strong.
To blame, Zhang Xianzhong's strength is not as good as the Qing army.
And the Great Western Army in the city obviously had not yet reacted from the shock.
What just happened?
Only a loud bang was heard, and then the walls collapsed?
It was Zhang Xianzhong who reacted immediately.
"Send someone to plug the collapsed walls! Be quick! ”
Zhang Kewang woke up like a dream, nodded suddenly, and said, "Erchen obeys!" ”
Of course, he understood what it meant to let the Tartars into the city, as long as a few thousand, no, as long as a few hundred Tartars entered the city, he could create chaos and take the opportunity to open the city gates.
Once the city gate was opened, the main force of the Tartars could drive straight into the city and fight directly with the Great Western Army.
Although Zhang Kewang does not know how to lead troops as well as Zhang Dingguo, he also understands what is an advantage, what is a disadvantage, what is a victory, and what is a defeat.
Originally, the Great Western Army was in an advantage, but now it suddenly became a disadvantage. If the Tartars are allowed to enter the city, it will be a defeat.
No, he has to resist, and wait for Dingguo to come to help!
The 20,000 soldiers led by Zhang Xianzhong are all the elite of the Great Western Army, and their combat effectiveness is very impressive.
Under Zhang Kewang's command, they threw down the rolling logs again and again to block the attack of the Green Battalion.
This method is very practical, and the green battalion soldiers climb completely by relying on their hands and feet without any auxiliary tools, so they will roll down directly when they are hit by rolling logs.
"Kill, kill the traitor!"
The soldiers of the Great Western Army had already seen that these charging green battalion soldiers were Liu Jinzhong's troops who had surrendered not long ago.
Their eyes were wide with rage, and their eyes were red.
It feels very unpleasant to be betrayed, especially the former Paozawa brothers.
When the logs run out, there are still stones, and when the stones run out, there will be a rain of arrows.
In short, the soldiers of the Great Western Army resisted desperately, but they did not let the Green Battalion soldiers move forward.
"Governor Hong, this is a bit of a problem..."
Tong Yanghe frowned and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, wait until the western thieves are almost exhausted, and then let the Han army flag press into the city in one fell swoop."
Hong Chengchou didn't care at all about the lives of the soldiers, especially the lives of the green battalion soldiers.
Once the success is achieved, these people are used to sacrifice.
