Chapter 218: Chaozhou Victory
Seeing that the Ming soldiers were so fierce, Li Shutai immediately gave the order to attack, at this time Li Shutai had already guessed the enemy in front of him, but the main force of the Ming soldiers.
In fact, what Li Shutai didn't know was that most of these defenders were soldiers between the ages of 30 and 40 who had retired from the army, and these soldiers were already familiar with the military formation, and if it weren't for Zhu Youlang to let them retire in order to maintain the lasting development of the army, they would also shine in the army.
After Li Shuotai's order arrived, the Qing soldiers immediately gave up their defense and rushed towards the Ming soldiers in formation, and at this time, the Mingbu battalion also began to slowly retreat to one, and the firearms battalion soldiers pressed up again.
This time, the soldiers of the firearms battalion lined up according to the flag, and shot according to the team, and after the gunshots rang out, the speed of the soldiers immediately slowed down, and after the firearms battalion continued to fire.
The Qing soldiers also came to the Buddha wolf machine, after the cannon of the Buddha wolf machine, the Ming soldiers also began to have a large number of casualties, but after the training of Gao Yigong, and under the propaganda of the envoy, the morale of the Ming soldiers did not decrease but rose to form a formation.
At this time, Gao Yigong, who was on the tower of Chaozhou City, saw that the Qing soldiers were moving, and he immediately said: "Order Liu Yipeng and Liu Zhiguo to lead the Qing soldiers to the city."
Under the banner, Liu Yipeng and Liu Zhiguo, who were still thinking of forming a formation and fighting with the Qing soldiers, immediately sighed and followed the banner and led the troops to slowly retreat.
And the Qing soldiers were also on fire, and as soon as they saw the Ming soldiers retreating, they immediately rushed over again, you must know that these soldiers are Li Shutai's henchmen.
Just when the Qing soldiers were about to chase after him, Li Shutai, who had already discovered that the Ming soldiers had retreated, immediately ordered the soldiers to stop, for no other reason, he discovered the military discipline of the Ming soldiers.
After observing the orderly advance and retreat of the Ming soldiers, the skillful coordination of the battle formation, and the problems of fighting veterans, Li Shuitai felt that it was a little difficult to break through Chaozhou City.
Looking at the Qing soldiers who retreated again, Gao Yigong was a little disappointed, but in an instant he returned to normal.
"Order the soldiers to eat and rest on the spot."
In the evening, Li Shutai looked at the already dark sky, and he waved his hand at Chaozhou City mercilessly and shouted, "Siege the city."
Li Shuitai gave an order, and these green battalion soldiers who had been trained and reorganized by Li Shuitai carried the ladder and pushed the cart to Chaozhou City according to a long snake of five zhang and a long snake.
And just when the Qing artillery was preparing for the artillery bombardment, the Ming artillery, who had already obtained the accurate position from the Jinyi Guard, immediately fired a volley at the Qing fort with a unit.
"Bang, bang......."
Under the bombardment of more than 2,000 Hongyi cannons, the temporary artillery battery of Qing artillery located two miles away from Chaozhou City was immediately extinguished.
"What's going on?" Seeing the fierce sound of artillery coming from the direction of the fort, Li Shutai looked at the generals around him with a blue face.
A few moments later, the bitter-faced artillery guerrilla general ran to Li Shutai and cried: "General, we have no artillery left. ”
"What." Hearing this, Li Shutai shouted with a wide range of eyes: "Why is my cannon gone, you can make it clear to me."
"Woo, the Ming artillery is too fierce, we just wanted to open the artillery, the Ming artillery fire is like a long eye and the cannon is booming, our artillery is flying and bursting countless times, roughly speaking, there is no usable artillery, especially the artillery is no longer one in ten."
Hearing this, Li Shutai's face became bloody, and in an instant, Li Shutai spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
You must know that Li Shutai brought more than 200 cannons at this time, which is also where Li Shutai's confidence lies, but he didn't expect that he would be reimbursed by the Ming soldiers before the war started.
A few moments later, Li Shutai woke up, as soon as he woke up, he looked pale at the battlefield not far away with guns and cannons, looking at the fire of more than 2,000 cannons, Li Shutai understood that this Chaozhou City could not be captured.
He knew very well that the strength of Chaozhou City and the elite soldiers of the Ming soldiers, coupled with the countless artillery, especially the high morale of the Ming soldiers, Li Shutai did not take Chaozhou City.
At this moment, when those Qing soldiers rushed to the edge of the city under the bombardment of Hongyi cannons, countless large and small Buddha wolves in the city opened fire, and for a while, the Qing soldiers screamed as if they were in hell.
After the Buddha wolf machine fired nine cannons in a row, the Qing soldiers also retreated. The Ming soldiers immediately held a swarm of bees and shot at the Qing soldiers under the city.
For a while, those Qing soldiers who had no time to escape fell in batches.
"Retreat." Looking at the Qing soldiers who were retreating with torches not far away, Li Shutai shouted loudly.
After Li Shutai ordered the troops to retreat, the Qing soldiers, who had already collapsed, immediately became chaotic soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the generals, so they could not find the soldiers and fled.
Gao Yigong, who was located in the city, saw that after the fifty or sixty thousand Qing soldiers retreated, his face was overjoyed.
"Except for all kinds of artillerymen, the rest went out of the city to pursue."
Gao Yigong couldn't have imagined that Li Shutai would be defeated in the first battle.
In fact, what Gao Yigong didn't know was that there were more than 2,000 cannons, which was something that had happened before, and as soon as the Qing soldiers saw the Ming artillery bombardment like a thunderbolt, the army's heart was already moving.
In addition, the Qing fort was destroyed, the main general vomited blood and fainted, and those generals did not have much confidence to capture the city, so the attack was not effective.
Coupled with the bravery of the Ming soldiers, the Qing soldiers were defeated under the sound of the scenery in all aspects.
Under Gao Yigong's order, Liu Yipeng, Liu Zhiguo, Guo Tiancai and other generals led the troops to the outside of the city.
At this time, when some Qing soldiers wanted to organize a Qing army to resist, they found that they had no way to gather soldiers at all, because at this time, both soldiers and generals were already in chaos.
At this time, Li Shutai looked at him panting at this time, full of disbelief that he would be defeated so quickly, so completely, but he knew that his soldiers were all elite soldiers.
But in the next moment, a familiar and cold voice came from his ears.
"Your Majesty has a decree, Li Yongfang is the first traitor, and the crime should be punished, after Li Shutai is guilty, he doesn't think about the king of his ancestors' family and country, and his crime should be punished, Li Shutai, you just wait for Your Majesty's disposal."
Hearing this, Li Shutai looked at the Li family slave who grew up with him in front of him: "You, you, my Li family treats you like your own son and nephew, and you repay my Li family like this." ”
"Hmph, my family has been a Ming military household for generations, but your Li family is greedy and shameless, and treats my family as a slave." A guard beside Li Shutai scolded fiercely: "You still don't do it." ”
The words fell, and without waiting for Li Shuitai to react, Li Shuitai's personal soldiers, who had already been rebelled by Jinyi Wei, immediately rushed towards S Li Shuitai like a group of chickens competing for food.
At this time, under the pursuit of the Ming soldiers out of the city, the soldiers who were ambushed in the green battalion of the Qing soldiers immediately raised their flags anyway, and for a time Li Shuotai soldiers were driven by the Ming soldiers like cattle and sheep.
In the early morning of the next day, the Ming soldiers captured the Qing soldiers one by one, and Gao Yigong also saw Li Shutai with a blue and black face in front of him.
"Come, give him the antidote, he can't die until His Majesty has a will." Looking at Li Shutai, who was extremely weak, Gao Yigong shouted to the Jinyi guard beside him.
After a few breaths, Jin Yiwei took a medicine round and poured it into Li Shutai's mouth, it turned out that before Li Shutai led the troops, Jin Yiwei had a plan to give Li Shuitai a chronic poison, if Li Shutai didn't come, he would also die.
