Chapter 56: The Bloody Battle of Texas (2)

(Thanks to the book friend Xiangjiang Liu Fatzi for the 500 yuan reward, thank the book friend for the 100 yuan reward of the air tour, ask for recommendation votes~)

But no matter how hard it is, you have to fight!

Shi Tingzhu didn't want to be accused of failing to collect Shandong and delaying the imperial court's plan.

If you can't take Dezhou, the army will not be able to penetrate deep into Shandong, and you must return to the court. Shi Tingzhu can imagine how angry the banner owners in the capital will be, in this case, the Han army will definitely be pulled out by the regent to top the cylinder.

The banner owners will not care about the difficulty of attacking the city, in their opinion, Shandong is completely undefended, and thousands of people can frighten a group of Han people to surrender the city when they arrive in Texas alone.

In fact, Shi Tingzhu also had such an idea at first, but after he led his troops to attack the city, this idea disappeared.

There were a large number of defenders at the head of the city, and it was by no means an empty city like Fang and Wang said.

But at this moment, the arrow has to be fired. If you return to Beijing in such a gray way, wouldn't you slap the regent hard?

Shi Tingzhu sighed, ordered the flag soldiers to play the flag, and asked the banner soldiers of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner under the command of Jueluo Bahana to start attacking the northern city.

If the army only attacked from one place, the defenders of the city would be able to deal with it very well, as long as they held the west city. However, if the Qing army attacked from both directions at the same time, the defenders in the city would be overwhelmed.

As long as the defenders in the city panicked, the opportunity for the Qing army came.

Whichever banner soldier ascends the top of the city will deal a devastating blow to the morale of the defenders in the city.

Whether it is attacking or defending a city, sometimes it is just a breath.

Whoever can hold this breath will be able to grasp the initiative of the scene and even win in the end.

"Pass on my general order, the first to climb the city will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, 50 clothed slaves, and Jin Niu Lu Zhangjing."

Shi Tingzhu firmly believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward. Now both sides are fighting in one breath, as long as the enthusiasm of the flag soldiers is fully mobilized, then it is a matter of course to break the city.

Sure enough, the banner soldiers of the Han army with red flags rubbed their hands after hearing Shi Tingzhu's promise of reward, biting a single knife with their teeth, desperately crawling towards the city.

A thousand taels of silver is nothing, as long as the city is broken, the silver is not just grabbed.

But the reward of fifty clothed minions and Jin Niu Lu Zhangjing is very attractive.

The clothed minions captured by the Qing army were all good at farming, and the fifty people were summoned to solve a big problem.

As for Niu Lu Zhangjing's position, it is a status symbol, which means the transformation from a flag soldier to a general.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers who were originally deflated were screaming and climbing down the ladder towards the city, the villagers at the head of the city were dumbfounded.

Are these people really not afraid of death?

"What are you doing in a daze, let the wolf teeth shoot!"

He Rong glared angrily and roared.

The so-called wolf tooth paddle is a large-scale city defense device.

It is recorded in the "Wubei Zhi": the wolf's tooth pat, made of elm locust wood, is five feet long, four feet five inches wide, and three inches thick. There are hundreds of iron nails with wolf teeth, all of which are five inches long and weigh six taels, and the cloth is nailed on the pat, and the wood is three inches, and the bladed knife is embedded on all sides, and the four corners are nailed to the ring, and the rope is slid and twisted in the pulley, and the hook is on the city. The enemy ants are attached to the siege of the city, pulling up and falling, and it is difficult to attack.

The wolf's tooth slap is often used when the defense equipment is insufficient and the enemy army is attacking the city on a large scale, and He Rong ordered people to put the wolf's tooth slap to resist the enemy, which is enough to see that the situation is grim.

Seeing the black and oppressive Han army with red flags pouring towards the city, He Rong also had some drums in his heart.

Can it really be held?

"Quick, quickly ask Qin Zongrong for help, and ask him to immediately send hundreds of white pole soldiers to the head of Xicheng City to assist in the defense!"

......

......

Like the rest of the Han army's Red Banner soldiers, Chen Shuncai was assigned to the siege queue.

It's just that he fell to the ground in the first round of the charge and pretended to be dead.

He was already proficient in this skill, and lay motionless on the ground like a dead corpse.

At this moment, everyone was busy attacking the city, and naturally no one noticed him.

There is a raised hillock in the place where Chen Shuncai is falling, so there is no need to worry about stray arrows shooting.

He would occasionally squint slightly to see how the battle was going.

If the other bannermen climbed to the top of the city and took the advantage, Chen Shuncai would not hesitate to turn over and get up, and immediately climb the ladder towards the city.

It's just that from his point of view, the battle situation seems to be very anxious, and the Qing army will attack the city, and the Ming army will drive the Qing army to death.

Chen Shuncai faintly felt that something was wrong. In the past, the Qing army would not encounter any resistance when attacking the city, but today, why are the defenders in the city of Texas so tenacious?

To be on the safe side, Chen Shuncai decided to continue to play dead.

He was not prepared to plunge into this brutal battle for the city until the battle became clear.

Not being in the limelight in case of trouble is the life-saving experience he has summed up over the years.

No matter how the masters agitated, he always rushed to the last one.

Of course, it takes some skill, and playing dead is the best way to do it.

From the old khan to the great khan to the regent, the people around Chen Shuncai died batch after batch, but he was the only one who was unscathed.

In his opinion, instead of competing for the reward of being the first to break the city, it is better to wait for the overall situation to follow the rush at a regular time.

Anyway, after the city is broken, there are countless gold and silver treasures waiting for them to rob, so why bother risking their lives for money.

It's better to die than to live, this is the truth that Chen Shuncai recognized when he was a coated minion.

Now that he has been raised the flag, he can't give up a great prospect.

As long as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty sits firmly in the country, aren't these banner people still eating and drinking spicy?

Well, maybe the Han Eight Banners are slightly worse treated than the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, but they are certainly better than the Nanren in Guannai.

It is that he must not die on the eve of victory.

Play dead, keep playing dead!

Just a little while and someone will be able to storm the city!

......

......

"Qin Shuai, General He, please send people to Xicheng for reinforcements as soon as possible. Soldiers, soldiers can't hold on! ”

A soldier from the Governor's Battalion knelt down in front of Qin Gongming and wept.

Qin Gongming, who was dressed in military uniform, turned pale and did not say a word.

If it had been a moment earlier, he would have sent reinforcements to Xicheng.

But now the armor of the Manchurian Blue Banner has launched a fierce attack on the northern city.

Five hundred white pole soldiers are the backbone of the city, and if they are not pressed, these thousands of village soldiers may be scattered.

You must know that the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner is much higher than that of the Han army with the red flag, and if it is a field battle outside the city, even Qin Gongming is not sure to defeat them.

Under such circumstances, Qin Gongming would never dare to have any contempt for the Manchurian Blue Banner soldiers commanded by Jueluo Bahana.

"Ben Shuai can't transfer manpower now, you tell He Rong, even if you fight to the last person, you have to resist. Now it's a breath, and we must not let it out. ”

"Dashuai!"

The soldier shouted in despair.

"This is a military order, do you want to resist the order?"

Qin Gongming said coldly.

"Don't dare."

The soldier shuddered. Military orders are like a mountain, and disobeying military orders is the greatest sin in the army.

Although he is under the direct command of He Rong, he is also a soldier under Qin Gongming, and if Qin Gongming directly beheads him He Rong by disobeying military orders, he can't say anything.

"Mark this and go to Xicheng to give an order. Qin Shuai... Qin Shuai, please take care! ”
