Chapter 201: Siege to the Death
The attack on the barracks was forced, so the little dog didn't really exert his strength, and after killing the dozen greedy people, they withdrew from the battle under the heavy fire of the enemy.
But the little dog was embarrassed to find that his position was really bad, because he was between Hangzhou and the barracks. If you attack Hangzhou, the military camp will move to drag its own hind legs, and if you attack the military camp, the enemy in Hangzhou will attack. Being caught between the two armies is simply a dilemma.
But what is their purpose? They came out to rob, not to stand between two enemy groups. At the same time, he borrowed 30,000 horses from Yan Siqi, not because he really cooperated with Yan Siqi's plan, but to achieve his own goal, and this priority must be understood. However, this account is calculated like this, but in the end, how to fight it is difficult.
In the end, Xiao Liang, who was still in arrears, suggested: "Of course, we must distinguish the primary and secondary, then we will focus on Hangzhou and the military camp second." Although the barracks are behind us, they are still a group of newcomers, and their combat effectiveness is only based on relying on the barracks, and they dare not really attack. And they took the initiative, and we just couldn't ask for it. ”
The little dog pinched his chin and squinted his eyes to listen, listening to what this little Liang Qi was going to say.
"In this case, then we will divide five thousand people, and cut off their connection with Hangzhou City here, if they take the initiative to attack, we just can't ask for it, just take advantage of the situation to kill them all. And if you attack Hangzhou wholeheartedly, won't this solve our dilemma? ”
Being analyzed like this, the puppy patted his head, he was really a fan of the person concerned, in fact, is it that simple.
If according to a normal war, both sides are real armies, and it is really confusing to be pinned down by the enemy's horns like this. But behind him is a group of people. They could only defend with barracks, and they could resist only with bulky artillery. If they dare to go out of the camp, they will definitely be annihilated by themselves, so they are afraid that he will be a wool, isn't this scared of themselves?
When Xiao Liang saw the enlightened little dog, he looked at him with blank eyes, waiting for the leader's rules: "Your method is good, I will leave this matter to you." "This is definitely a good errand to preserve your strength.
However, this thing is so annoying, it is too unexpected.
The little dog commanded to his confidant Inoue: "You take 5,000 men and horses, form a defensive line here, show me the Ming army in the opposite barracks, and if they dare to go out of the camp to attack our rear team, annihilate them on the spot." ”
Inoue Qi already received the order loudly, and then happily advanced forward with five thousand men and horses. And then right there, a line of defense was built.
Then the little dog patted Xiao Liang's shoulder: "Your talent is indeed not familiar, I still have to rely on your advice, work hard Xiao Liangjun." Then, with the remaining more than 10,000 pirate troops, he pressed towards Hangzhou City.
Xiao Liang had no choice but to take a look at the well, who was shouting, and followed the brigade to attack Hangzhou City in frustration.
After two days of fighting, the bandit group lost 1,000 under the city of Hangzhou, but when attacking the barracks, it lost 3,000. Not counting Zhao Wujie's pirate fleet, it lost a total of 4,000 men and horses, which was a big attrition for an army of only 30,000 people. But pirates are tough, and their quest for riches knows no bounds. Hangzhou, the world of flowers, is filled with a sea of gold and silver, innumerable. This is the motivation for them to fight.
In the face of the death and injury of their comrades, they did not feel any pity at all. In their eyes, there is only gold and silver, and there is no comradeship. In their hearts, it's good that their comrades-in-arms are dead, so that they can get an extra share when they share the spoils in the future. As for whether he can survive in future wars, this does not matter at all. Since I have come to this point, I have already handed over my life to God, and life and death are no longer my own decisions, but God's business.
With his feet on the hard earth, he began to launch a real attack on the city of Hangzhou.
And the city defense army led by Father Zhao of Hangzhou City, in the past two days, when guarding Hangzhou City, was injured dozens of people because of firearms. In this barracks guard, a thousand were killed in battle. But instead of lowering morale, these casualties made morale stronger; Let a group of people quickly form a preliminary combat effectiveness.
If the bandit group had chosen this place on the first day, and this dry land would have launched an attack, maybe Hangzhou would have really been broken.
But after this drag-on battle, the city of Hangzhou was almost no danger.
Father Zhao looked at the pirates who really began to attack the city like a tide, and said to the brothers beside him: "This time, the pirates are really playing, they are starting to win, do you have the confidence to hold Hangzhou City, do you have the confidence to repel the enemy's attack?" ”
The brothers around him took the lead and shouted, "Have faith, have faith." ”
"It's good to have confidence, now, everyone prepares, it's still the old way, at the beginning of the enemy's attack, the artillery starts, then the Franco, then the tiger, then the gun, we use our firearms to carry out layers of blocking and killing against the enemy."
The advanced level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty is really not covered, and the variety is dazzling. There are all kinds of long-range and close defense, siege, assault, and defense. Large and small, there are gorgeous and inexplicable, there are also those that terrify the enemy, and the practical ones are not practical. Even the most knowledgeable firearms experts can't figure it out. "Then, that's where our real test begins, and we end up fighting the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and then we can see who is the hero and who is the bear."
A civil official who was forced to go to the city forced his mouth to speak: "Brothers, there is no shortage of cannons and lead in our Hangzhou city. Our manufacturing bureau in Zhejiang is working overtime to make it for everyone, so let's just say hello to the enemy. After having this prerequisite, he confidently proposed: "I will go down to the city now and send supplies to you." Rest assured, I will be open to you. Then without waiting for Father Zhao's consent, he ran down the city in a puff of smoke.
Father Yang glanced at his back contemptuously: "It's a waste that only moves its mouth, so it's okay to get out." If you don't really fight, you'll have to smell your urine for no reason, and if you make me smell of and pee again, it will really kill me. ”
There was a burst of laughter from the soldiers in front of him and behind him.
The enemy began to enter the firing range.
The projectile fired by the first red-coat cannon flew whizzing. No one looked up, the whistling of this cannonball, as if it was a signal for the beginning of the battle, more than 10,000 pirates, who had long ignored life and death, immediately broke out with a howl of mountains and tsunamis, let go and strode to start an attack on Hangzhou City.
The real Hangzhou defense battle has officially begun. Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "Lonely Ministers and Jiezhong Literature in the Late Ming Dynasty" to read for free for the first time.
