Chapter 434: Half of the City is Broken (The First Shift, There Will Be Another in Five Minutes)
What the? There is one behind Phoenix Mountain and Yuehua Mountain, a fortress with several towers?
And there are hundreds of cannons, and they killed Shang Kele?
Now Shang Kexi and Kong Youde can't hold their breath! They boasted about Haikou in front of Hauge, and Hauge also gave a strict order, asking them to break the city as soon as possible, and then lead the main force south to reinforce it.
But what now? There is actually a fortress in Fengyang Mansion City that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
And there are also many artillery! I don't know if there is a Hongyi cannon? If there are a few, it will be a big problem......
Boom!
Just when Shang Kexi and Kong Youde didn't know what to do, they suddenly heard the cannon fire in front of them, and then the shouts sounded behind the two of them.
"Cannon ......"
"It's the Hongyi Cannon!"
"...... on the Mountain"
"Lord Wang, be careful!"
It turned out that the Ming army set up a cannon on Phoenix Mountain, and it was a Hongyi cannon! There were not many of them, there were only two of them, and they didn't hit Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and the people behind them.
But it still scared the two princes who took the lead out of a cold sweat!
"Yuan, Brother Yuanji, this place is dangerous, let's retreat to the right gate!" Kong Youde was already panicked, and he couldn't speak very well. Of course, he knew the power of the Hongyi cannon, and if the two cannons were accurate just now, his old life would be confessed.
And he knows that the cannon will be more and more accurate, but he can't always stand on the ground as a target!
"Brother Ritu is very good...... Let's retreat first, and then transfer the Hongyi cannon into the city! β
Shang Kexi is also a life-sparing, where dare to stay under the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon? So he and Kong Youde retreated to the right gate of the back. When I walked near the city gate, I met the jubilant Shuo Zhan.
Shuo Zhan was also stunned when he saw the two princes, and then asked with a smile: "What?" Is the city finished? You two are going to lead your troops south? That's too diligent, isn't it? β
"Meler Zhangjing, let's underestimate the enemy!" Shang Kexi had already taken out the handkerchief at this time, pretended to wipe it twice on his face, and howled a few more times, "My brother is really pitiful, he was ambushed by Nankou and was bombarded into meat sauce by the cannon!" β
"Your brother...... Is it cute? Shuo Zhan is also nervous, he has a good relationship with the monk, pure friendship!
Shang Kexi is still suffering with woo wow wow, and he didn't care about Shuo Zhan - he was a little unaccustomed to the friendship between the two!
"Cute him...... He's dead? Shuo Zhan's voice trembled.
So cute, why did she die?
"Isn't it cute...... It's Coke! Shang Kexi continued to wipe the tears that were not at all, just a godbrother, he still had seven or eight! After he died, he still had a godson, who was not sad......
It's good that it's not cute...... Shuo Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what next?" Can you still take Fengyang City today? β
"How can you beat it?" Shang Kexi shook his head again and again, "Inside is a gossip fort (this is what he calls the fortress), there are eight big guns, each big platform has eight Hongyi cannons, and there are two Hongyi cannons on Phoenix Mountain, a total of sixty-six Hongyi cannons!" β
"How can there be so many?" Shuo Zhan was an old man, and he had never seen the Ming army gather so many Hongyi cannons at one time.
Shang Kexi said: "It must have been bought from the Xiyi people...... The little prince of the Zhu family has silver, and he married the pirate Zheng family, and has a way to the West, what are hundreds of Hongyi cannons? β
Hundreds of doors...... Shang Kexi's mouth can really be fooled.
Shuo Zhan was also stunned by him. Of course, he knew that Zhu Cihong was rich and married to the pirate Zheng family, and he also knew that the Hongyi cannon was a "specialty" of the Western Hongyi country. If the pirate Zheng family is allowed to take the silver scavenged by Zhu Cihong from the southeast to buy it in the Western Hongyi Kingdom, hundreds or thousands of them will not be a problem!
"So, what do we do then?" Shuo Zhan was anxious, "The good news has been sent to the prince...... How can you not fight? β
In fact, he is not to blame for this matter, but they have been in the world for so many years, and they have never let people out after breaking into the walls of a city.
So when the Qing soldiers of the brigade rushed into Fengyang City, Shuo Zhan took it for granted that the overall situation had been decided, so he sent Tangma to report the good news to Haoge.
Shang Kexi is also anxious, this is a lie about the military situation!
Although it was Shuo Zhan who lied, but Su Wang Ye really wanted to investigate, he and Kong Youde would definitely be unlucky!
"Ruitu," Shang Kexi looked at Kong Youde, "what should I do?" β
"This ......" Kong Youde was also in a cold sweat, he was not afraid that Haoge would investigate what false war exploits, but that he was afraid that Haoge and Shuo Zhan would force him to attack the fortress in Fengyang City.
If you fight your strength out, that's the real thing!
He frowned, thought about it, and said, "We, we did break Fengyang City!" Didn't King Su urge us to go south to Dagunling? It's important over there in the big gun ridge! β
"Yes, yes, yes....." Shang Kexi patted his forehead, "The most important thing now is the side of Dagunling!" As long as the Southern Soldiers Brigade can be defeated, the fortress in Fengyang City will be captured sooner or later. So we still have to send the elite south to help King Su! β
Shuo Zhan also felt justified when he heard it, "What about Fengyang's side?" β
Kong Youde said: "The walls of the outer city can always be occupied...... Occupy the outer city wall, can the inner fortress still plug in its wings and fly? As long as the big gun ridge can be defeated, Fengyang City will be our Great Qing Kingdom after all! β
"Yes, yes, yes......" Shuo Zhan nodded, "You can't miss the big thing of Lord Su!" The two of them immediately selected 20,000 elite soldiers, pulled up fifteen Hongyi cannons, and headed south to Dagunling early tomorrow morning! On Fengyang's side, Mr. Bai and I will just take people to watch it. β
There are 20,000 thousands of people in the Han army, Baoyi, and green battalions under the monk Kong Youde, and there are 24 Hongyi cannons. After taking away 20,000 people and fifteen cannons, he left several thousand people and nine cannons for Shuo Zhan, plus more than 10,000 people under Bai Guangen and more than 1,000 eight banners and coats carried by Shuo Zhan himself, it was impossible to take down the Fengyang Forbidden Wall Fortress, but it was enough to guard the outer city of Fengyang and confront Zhu Chuncheng.
As long as there is nothing wrong with Haoge's side, Fengyang City will still be able to take it sooner or later!
......
When the breached victory report of Fengyang Mansion City arrived in front of the Dagunling Army, Haoge was surrounded by all the generals, and immediately stood on a high slope and used a monocular to look at the Ming army at the foot of the mountain that was advancing in a battalion column.
These Ming troops are very different from the Ming troops that Haoge has seen in the past, not only the queue is so strict that it is frightening, but also the momentum is high, and while walking, they are shouting the slogan "The reincarnation of Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty - invincible".
In addition, their weapons and equipment look very well-equipped.
The marching forward were all infantry, all dressed in cloth and iron armor, and half carrying spears with straight shafts and sleeves that were a foot and a half long on the tips of their spearsβit was clear that these spears were good things, and the soldiers who used them cherished them.
The other half is everyone carrying a firecracker!
Half spear, half firecracker, not a three-eyed gun, but a bird's gun and a turtledove's foot!
There is such a way to match troops...... How many guns does the Ming army have in front of you? 10,000 or 20,000?
That's a staggering amount!
If so many guns will not be easily exploded, and they can fire at the right distance, this Ming army in front of you is not easy to deal with!
"Lord, lord, great joy!"
Ao Bai took a military newspaper from his subordinates at this time, and after reading it, he smiled and said hello to Haoge.
"Fengyang took it?" Hauge lowered his binoculars.
"Got it!" Ao Bai smiled, "The outer city has been broken, it's effortless!"
Lord Wang, do you want to give Shuo Zhan, Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi another order, and let them bring people over quickly? β
"Good!" Haoge nodded, "Let Kong Youde and Shang Kexi bring 20,000 people over...... When they come, we are invincible. β
