Chapter 395: Confucius blesses, invulnerable
Liu Liangchen, who took the lead, also became a victim of the tiger squat cannon, he only felt that his chest was slammed twice by something, and then there was a sharp pain that made him unable to breathe, and the strength of his body disappeared suddenly, and the whole person was paralyzed. Then he saw that the originally closed gate suddenly opened, and countless Ming troops poured in, all of them were pikemen of the same color, and the three or two rows of people who rushed in front put their spears flat, covered their heads and just moved forward!
How can the Qing soldiers, who have been bombarded by tiger squatting and cannonballs, be able to resist this group of spear-like fresh forces? They were immediately shattered and scattered, and those who narrowly escaped lost their heavy weapons and desperately retreated towards the city wall. The charging Ming soldiers tore their throats and shouted in unison: "Saint Kong bless...... Invulnerable! β
It turns out that Sage Kong can really use it like this...... Liu Liangchen, who was lying on the cold mud ground waiting for death, suddenly sighed and closed his eyelids.
Just when Liu Liangchen was dying, the situation in the C-shaped fortress was reversed again! He Luohui took the four true Tartars of Niu Lu to the top of the city, plus the Manchurian soldiers led by the Jiala Zhen Zhuoluo who had ascended the city before, the Manchurians on the wall of the C-shaped fortress were close to 2,000!
The biggest difference between the Eight Banners True Manchuria and the Han Army, the Green Battalion, and the Ming Army is their personal martial arts. The Manchurian soldiers of this era were all-round warriors, who could fight on horseback, on foot, archery, hand-to-hand, and of course, on horseback and on horseback. Therefore, 2000 real Manchuria went to the head of the city of C-shaped fort, which is equivalent to 2000 archers who can shoot eight-force bows and 2000 warriors who can fight in heavy armor!
For the Ming army and regimental training who held on to the C-shaped fortress, such a force was too strong, even with the blessing of Sage Kong, it would not be able to resist.
Liu Zhaoji already knew that it was difficult to defend, but he still supported as much as possible: "Hold the city gate!" Let the old and weak go first, only by guarding the city gate, the old and weak in this city will have a chance, and we can also kill a few more Tartars! β
At this time, most of the Manchurian soldiers at the head of the city took off their longbows and began to shoot arrows at the chaotic people in the city. However, these Manchurian soldiers did not really want to shoot all the people to death, their purpose was to drive them to storm the city gates.
Today's battle at Fort C really hurt the refugees inside! Refugees, regimental training, the Ming army and the Qing army fought together, and now they are still used as tools to rush the door, the sword has no eyes, and the arrows are also eyeless. After most of the day's fighting, the small castle was full of layers of corpses, which could really be said to be a murderous city.
Although there were many casualties in the Qing Army's Green Battalion and Han Eight Banners, they were really not worth mentioning compared to the people and regimental training in the C-shaped fort.
At this time, the Eight Banners used bows and arrows to drive people away, and the arrows that kept falling forced the people who still wanted to escape to help the old and the young, and rushed to the city gate, and let out a miserable cry while walking, and some people fell into the mud that was about to be stained red with blood. Two or three hundred white-armored and red-armored soldiers in heavy armor had already descended the city wall, and lined up in a dense queue behind these weeping people. All of them held shields and long knives, the tips of which shone with a chilling and murderous aura in the afterglow of the setting sun.
At the back of the queue, there were dozens of Han army bird guns, all holding bird guns that had been lit and could be fired at any time. These birds, all neatly draped, wearing helmets and cloth iron armor, slowly advanced like a wall!
Several of Liu Zhaoji's family members rushed up, and they wanted to retreat to the city when they set up Liu Da's soldiers, but they were thrown away by him: "Retreat from him!" Go find someone to pile up sacks and block both ends of the gatehouse...... Just go! β
The two family members still didn't give up, and one of them said loudly: "Zong Rong, I'm afraid it won't work, it's a real Tartar!" β
With a snap, this guy has already received a big ear scrape.
"The real Tartar is not made of iron...... We are only 200 steps away from the C-shaped platform, and there is a big general cannon on the platform! β
It turns out that Shi Kefa has also prepared a trick! The nine fortresses outside the city of Qufu are all within the fire coverage of the general's cannon on the platform of Qufu City!
"But, but we're also on the city gate!"
"Yes, Mr. Rong, the cannon has no eyes!"
Liu Zhaoji glared at the two family members: "What are we afraid of?" We have the blessing of Sage Kong! β
What? Can Sage Kong still defend against artillery? This hole saint is really useful......
The people below did not dare to disobey Liu Zhaoji's words, so they had to take the sandbags that had been prepared long ago, piled up two breastworks on both sides of the city gate tower, and mounted four attack guns.
At the same time, Liu Zhaoji also asked people to erect a red flag on the city tower.
This red flag is the signal! Whichever way the red flag fell, the four great general's cannons on the C-shaped platform bombarded in that direction...... The tartars under the city gate can't be hit, but the tartars pressed from both sides of the city tower just hit the trick.
"Lie down, lie down, lean on the sandbag, don't expose the trouble......" Liu Zhaoji personally held the red flag, while ordering his own soldiers and the regimental training soldiers who had retreated along the city wall to lie down - only by lying on their stomachs, Confucius could bless them from eating cannons!
Seeing that it was almost there, he threw the red flag down to the right, and then fell down against a breastwork wall made of sandbags.
Boom Boom Boom ......
By the time the cannon rang out, Duoduo had already reached the western side of the fortress, and was poking sandbags with the sword handed down by Nurhachi. Oh, it's not playing, it's researchingβthis sack isn't strong, poking a hole, and leaking mud, how can it stop the Hongyi cannon? Could it really be that Sage Kong is blessing? But when I was a child, I didn't hear that Sage Kong had this function!
Just then, the cannon went off again.
He put down the knife, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Cao Zhenyan, this minion is a good one, so the cannon carriage is ready?" β
A white-armored soldier shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, it's not Cao Niulu...... His cannon hasn't been erected yet, this is the Southern Army firing artillery! β
"What? They also have Hongyi cannons......" As Duoduo spoke, there was another dense roar of artillery, and his brows furrowed, "The cannons are so dense, it's a Francophone...... Where are they bombarding with a Franc machine? β
The Franc cannon is characterized by a high initial rate of fire - either all the time, or the first few shots are fast, because the Franc cannon is loaded with ammunition using the "son-mother" method. A cannon has four to nine guns, and one gun is exchanged for one gun after the battle. However, due to the limited technical level at that time, the gap between the sub-cannon and the belly of the cannon had a large tolerance, resulting in the leakage of gunpowder gas, so it did not have the long firing range of the Hongyi cannon. So the Franc cannon was generally loaded with shotguns and then used within a hundred and fifty paces.
Duoduo remembered that he had instructed his subordinates not to get too close to the main city of Qufu, did the people under him not obey the order?
At the strange moment, the man he had sent to attack the Round Castle had already climbed down from the top of the city, and fell down in front of Duoduo, crying out, "My lord, the men of the servants have been bombarded by the general...... The Nikan of Qufu City is too ferocious, regardless of the life and death of their own people, they directly bombarded the city walls around the city gate tower with the general's cannon, and our warriors suffered heavy casualties! β
Duoduo was a little stupid when he heard this, and he took the cannon and bombarded himself and the enemy together...... How could Nikan be so cruel?
"Blessed by Sage Kong...... Invulnerable! β
At this moment, cheers sounded like thunder on the gate tower of the C-shaped round fort.
The iron beads spewed out by the general's cannon really have eyes, and they kill Tartars, not Han people (they are all lying behind sandbags, of course they can't hit them)!
What a miracle! This shows that the blessing of the saint Kong works! Not only is it invulnerable, but it's not even afraid of guns...... What can I do?
"Don't fight, don't fight...... This Qufu is a bit evil! Duoduo was also a little scared, "Let's collect the troops and go back to the camp!" β
