Chapter 930: Sudden Changes, Riding the Night and Reversing
Yang Shan both raised the flag and surrendered loudly, and the remaining Qing soldiers at noon suddenly abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.
They no longer had the will to fight, and they only wanted to save their lives, and Tian Wei, the commander of the Tang Army on the opposite side, saw them raise the flag of lowering, and saw the human head in Yang Shan's hand from a distance in the clairvoyant mirror, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart.
Alas, Hauge's guy ended up like this, how is it not lamentable.
Therefore, he immediately ordered to accept the surrender of the remaining Qing army, and the battle, after just over an hour, ended with a great victory for the Tang army.
After the battle was over here, Tian Wei immediately ordered that after a simple cleaning of the battlefield, he immediately headed west for the whole army to Shengjing City.
He had a strong premonition, that is, now in Shengjing City, because the number of Tang troops stationed is extremely small, there is very likely to be a major change, so he doesn't know if Dolgon will wait until after dawn to make a move.
So what Tian Wei can do now is to immediately send troops to Shengjing City, and strive to take this fortified city in one fell swoop while Dolgon is not ready.
It's just that when Tian Wei led the army all the way east and urgently went to Shengjing City, the envoy who was urgently sent to Shengjing City by Haoge had already entered Shengjing City and was immediately summoned by Dolgon.
"Regent! Oh no! Big things are wrong! ”
When he had entered the hall, the two messengers came on foot with a weeping voice, and fell to their knees before Dolgon.
Dolgon's face changed in an instant.
"What's going on? Could it be that something unusual happened to the Hauge tribes? Despite the bad premonition in his heart, Dorgon still asked in a trembling voice.
"The regent, Prince Su led 10,000 soldiers and horses to a place about dozens of miles away from Shengjing City, and was suddenly attacked by the Tang army, and the situation was extremely critical. Prince Su was helpless, so he had to ask me to sneak in in a hurry, so that the regent would quickly get into trouble, take Shengjing, and then immediately send troops to help, Prince Su's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses could be saved. The messenger cried out with a weeping voice, and his face was sad.
When Dorgon heard this, it was as if a thousand pounds of boulder had been pressed on his heart.
Damn, the worst thing happened.
When Haoge encountered a surprise attack by the Tang army, if he couldn't rescue him in time, he was afraid that he would be more than lucky. And if Haoge is defeated, then the Tang army that defeated Haoge will definitely immediately move eastward and take Shengjing, so that he will really be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Dolgon's face turned pale, and in the autumn weather, there was cold sweat on his forehead.
Now what?
Do you really want to do what Hauge said, immediately start an incident, kill or drive away the Tang army in the city, and then send a large army to the west to support him?
Or do you just play dead and draw a line with Hauge in order to protect yourself from being dragged into the mud pit by him?
After a moment's thought, Dolgon quickly rejected the latter course of action.
Now that Haoge has been exposed and attacked by the Tang army, his own internal response must have been detected by the Tang army. It's just that he may be afraid that he is powerful in Shengjing City, and the number of soldiers and horses in the Tang army is limited, so he temporarily forbears it and does not have an attack.
In the current situation, he and Hauge are actually grasshoppers on the same rope, if he doesn't protect it, he should want to stay out of the matter, how easy is it!
Perhaps, the biggest possibility is that even if he immediately drew a clear line with Haoge, or even if he had a meritorious counterattack, the Tang Army would not hesitate to attack himself after eliminating Haoge.
After all, the elimination of evil is exhausted, and the Tang Army will not take this opportunity to destroy itself in one fell swoop, so when.
It can be seen that the only way to rebel as soon as possible is to go now.
If this move is not successful, it will be benevolent.
Thinking of this, Dolgon's thick eyebrows tightened, and he stood up sharply, waved his hand to let the messenger down, and was about to give an order immediately, but saw another of his guards hurrying from outside the hall.
"Regent! Oh no! Something big has happened! ”
The cry of the visitor made Dolgon's heart shrink again.
Fuck, it's happening again?!
"Regent, just now, the Tang army that was originally scattered in the city, I don't know when, has all gathered in one place, they suddenly attacked, and they are attacking the largest ordnance money and grain depot in my Shengjing City. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, if the regent did not rescue as soon as possible, I am afraid that this treasury will be difficult to protect, and a large amount of ordnance, money, and food in the treasury will be heavy, and I am afraid that it will be taken by the Tang army! ”
After listening to the cry of the visitor, Dorgon's heart suddenly tightened, and his face was full of horror.
No, Tang Jun took the lead again!
Although the Tang army in the city is less than a thousand people, if they capture this military depot and gather Ao Cang, they can obtain a large amount of money, food and ordnance, and they can rely on this military depot to confront themselves for a long time. And in his own hands, although there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but all of them are people who have not been in battle, and they have been robbed of money, food, and ordnance, their morale will be greatly damaged, and it is not easy to take this Ju Ao Cang in one fell swoop.
In this way, these Tang troops were like a solid wedge in the city, and they could not take this warehouse, they should be able to cooperate with the Tang army attacking from outside, and destroy themselves in one fell swoop.
It's nothing short of a nightmare ending.
It's just that the current situation can only be to attack this Ju Ao Cang with all his might, in order to survive in the dead and save himself.
Dolgon's heart was full of sadness, he took a deep breath, and immediately ordered with a pale face: "Pass on the king's order, immediately dispatch all the soldiers and horses in the city, and attack this warehouse with all their might, at any cost, but also take this Juao Cang, and then take the entire Shengjing City in one fell swoop!" ”
"Huh! Slaves obey orders! ”
As soon as Dolgon's order was issued, the Qing troops in the city, who were originally waiting for the order, immediately took action, and under the leadership of various generals, they came from all over the city, and rushed towards the west of the city to gather Aocang.
And Dolgon himself, with his whole armor neatly draped, set out from the Regent's Palace, leading an elite guard and rushing towards the gathering of Aocang.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and Dolgon is in a hurry, and it can't compare to the speed of the fall of Juao's warehouse.
When the faint shadow of Ju Aocang appeared in front of Dolgon in the bright full moon, he heard the uneven cheers from there in the distance.
Soon, he saw from the clairvoyant mirror that a huge Tang Army flag was flying high on the top of the warehouse.
Dolgon's heart, which was still full of anticipation, sank to the bottom of the icy lake in an instant.
It's over, this Ju Ao Cang has been occupied by the Tang army, and the next time will be sad.
In today's plan, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how uncomfortable it is, there is only one way to desperately recapture Ju Aocang.
Otherwise, there is another way for you to live!
Thinking of this, Dolgon's face turned red, and he shouted at the frightened group of his soldiers, "What are you still doing in a daze! Don't hurry up and go to their warehouses to get siege equipment, you must do whatever it takes, go all out to capture this Ju Ao Cang! ”
Dolgon's order was given, and soon the Qing army quickly transferred siege equipment from other warehouses and prepared for the siege.
At this time, the Tang troops who captured Juaocang had already prepared to guard, and they saw that in the north and south of Juaocang, more than 20 shield carts followed up, ready to push towards the warehouse wall.
I saw those shield carts, each of which had a flag erected on it, and in front of it was a tall and thick wooden plank, covered with a thick leather quilt, which could effectively resist guns, bows and arrows, and there were rollers underneath that rotated flexibly. Behind each shield cart, dozens of Tartar soldiers were hidden.
The Tartar soldiers who began to march briskly to keep up with the siege ladder in front of them were all looking expectant as the Qing generals who led them forward.
"Sons, take the ladder and rush into battle!"
The Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield cart heard their own Niu Lu Ezhen's order, and some of them immediately howled out of the shield cart, carried siege ladders one after another, and continued to rush towards the fort wall.
The Tang army in the city saw that the siege outside the city, in fact, in terms of combat power, was at most the followers of some Tartars, among these people, there were Jurchens and Mongols, all standing in the position of the moat outside the north and south city walls, each with thousands of people, still hiding behind the shield cart, bending their knees and bows, and raising arrows, ready to suppress the Tang soldiers on the city wall when the Tartar soldiers attacked the city.
A group of Qing troops with hideous faces roared in unison, holding high the siege ladder, and strode under the city wall, preparing to set up the ladder on the wall of Juaocang.
Seeing that the Tartars had finally arrived under the fortress wall, the Tang soldiers above, like a beast that had been silent for a long time, finally showed their fierce fangs.
"The dog is in, it's good to come!" Hao Zeren, the director of the Shengjing Security Department of the Tang Army, who commanded on the southern city wall, had a trace of hideous pleasure flashing on his face.
Since I'm here, I'm going to give you something unexpected.
On the north and south city walls, there are more than a dozen cauldrons that are boiling and bubbling and steaming with dung on the north and south walls, and these stinking boiling dung are the so-called golden juice. Now, the pot of golden juice, which was boiled to the fullest, quickly poured down from the city wall with the cooperation of the auxiliaries.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!" 。。。。。。
The hot and smelly stool golden juice gave the Qing soldiers gathered under the city wall a pleasant fecal bath.
Under the moonlit night, the thick yellow and foul-smelling gold juice was pouring down from the boiling cauldron, spilling on the Qing soldiers who were screaming and trying to bring the siege ladder over.
Those Tartar soldiers, if they were burned by the golden juice of this stool, their skin and flesh were cracked, and they screamed again and again. An Qian clearly saw that a ball of hot dung water was poured on the top of the head of a Tartar soldier, and the tartar who was screaming loudly was subconsciously scratching his head with his hands, but even the braid and scalp were torn off, revealing Bai Sensen's skull.
The fortress wall is not high, and the moonlight is very bright, and the Tang soldiers at the front can clearly see all this, and suddenly feel that their stomachs began to cramp violently, and a disgusting thing surged violently from their throats, and many people could no longer control it, and suddenly lay on the city wall, vomiting loudly, vomiting white and green, and finally vomiting all the water, before gasping and getting up.
And Hao Zeren, who was supervising the battle on the northern city wall, saw this situation, but his face was full of smiles, and then he shouted: "This dish is served, then these two dishes should also be served." ”
At his command, dozens of thin porcelain vases more than one person high filled with quicklime were thrown from the walls of the two forts like hailstones.
With the crackling sound coming from under the city wall, one by one the quicklime porcelain bottles exploded, and the flying lime powder instantly turned a large number of Qing soldiers into blind.
At the same time, large basins of dirty water poured down from the walls.
When the quicklime met the water, a violent chemical reaction immediately occurred, and the Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the attack of the hot dung water were crackled and exploded, and the skin and flesh were burned and the smell was unbearable.
The Tang army's attack on the golden juice ash bottle caused at least hundreds of casualties among the Tartar soldiers.
Li Xiao knew that in the still hot late summer and early autumn, these wounded Tartar soldiers who were scalded by feces and lime would quickly become infected and festering due to the fact that their feces contained a variety of pathogenic bacteria, and eventually lead to organ failure and death throughout the body. In this sense, these hundreds of enemy soldiers were basically reimbursed.
Speaking of which, these seemingly primitive weapons are very useful when guarding the walls of this Juao Cang Fort. What's even more ridiculous is that these things, the gold juice is taken from the warehouse toilet, and the ash bottle is taken from the arsenal, which can be said to be taken and used immediately, just to catch these Qing troops off guard.
The remaining Qing troops had not yet come to their senses, and the musketeers of the four corner towers, they were silent until now, and finally began to prepare to shoot.
Originally, the Qing army had a chariot to cover, and if it was forced to shoot, the effect would definitely not be good, but now the Qing army is in chaos under the city and is taking advantage of the great opportunity to win the attack.
A long black Lumi gun was firmly held in the hands of the Tang Army's gunner, and they aimed at their respective targets one after another, and in silence, the sound of heavy breathing came and went.
"Attention all the musketeers, prepare, fire!"
With the angry shout of the commander of the Tang Army, 6,000 guns fired in unison, and on this moonlit night, a total of more than 500 guns were fired intensively.
"Bang bang bang! ……”
At the head of the wall of Juao Cangbao Fort, rows of bright red embers flew together, like a long bright red ribbon, as beautiful as hellfire, and had a unique beauty like a death ritual. A large cloud of choking white gunpowder smoke poured up, and more than 500 small three-coin pointed mini bullets, like a swarm of death bees flying away together, let out a slight and cheerful chirp, and swooped down on the Qing army under the city.
The whistling swarm of death bees, chirping and smiling, quickly burrowed into the body of the Qing soldier on the other side.
The tiny lead bullets weighing three coins burrowed into the human body, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and the surging bullets churned the internal organs into a pulp, forming a terrible cavity effect.
The Qing army under the city, many people immediately bloomed like a trick, and the people who were hit fell on their backs as if they were suddenly hit by a heavy hammer.
The impact of this lead bullet was so great that those Qing troops who happened to block the lead bullet with a card in their hands could not withstand this huge impact, and they staggered backwards and fell. It's just that as soon as they fell, they were immediately trampled to death and injured by the Qing soldiers who were scurrying around behind, and the scene was a mess.
The first round of shooting, although it was completely impossible to aim because of the night weather, also caused at least more than 100 Qing soldiers to be killed and wounded on the spot, making the entire Qing army formation suddenly appear chaotic.
