Chapter 301: The Wind and Sand Fill the City
"Is there a way to go into town and deliver a message to Baylor?" Hong Chengchou said.
"Impossible, the Huaxia army surrounded the city of Raozhou Mansion and iron buckets, unless it can fly, it can't enter at all, the scouts can't even approach the city for fifty miles, these information is still a villain to sneak in, accidentally caught, suffered a lot, where did three days of coolies, before they had the opportunity to get close to the city five miles, barely observed, and then it was impossible to move forward, there was not even a place to settle around the city, I heard that they were all traps and iron dysentery, if you don't know the doorway, you may even pierce the bottom of your feet, Then he fell to the ground and was covered in iron dysentery. β
"Heyββ, these thieves are vicious enough." Man Dahai next to him was taken aback, took a breath, and said in surprise.
"Go and investigate again, and report the movements of the Huaxia Army at any time." Hong Chengchou said.
The scout general left, and Manda Hai said: "Why don't you kill the past now, depending on the situation, where Azig is having a hard time, maybe he will be killed in the next moment." β
Hong Chengchou shook his head, "No, the enemy situation is unknown, you can't fight recklessly, I sent tens of thousands of troops before, and the combined strength of Azig has 90,000 troops, and the opponent is said to have only 50,000 troops, and they were almost wiped out, and the rest of the men and horses either collapsed and ran, or were surrounded in the city, we are only 70,000 troops now, I don't think we can beat the Huaxia army with this point, and I heard that the Huaxia army is sharp, not we can resist." β
"So how about this time? Is it possible to watch Azig being killed? You and I will both suffer sin? β
Hong Chengchou heard Man Dahai's complaints, squinted at the door of the tent, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is large, we can't be cautious, the old man has written down the situation here as an excerpt and submitted it to the regent, waiting for the decision of the imperial court, during this period, we can only wait for the reinforcements of Borobelle again, gather 200,000 soldiers and horses, and have a chance of winning." β
Man Dahai is not stupid, he knows that this is Hong Chengchou looking for someone to take responsibility together, in case of failure, he still has a way out.
For Da Ming's little bit of study, as a child of the clan who has been in the royal clan for so many years, he also plays very well, but he is not as high-sounding as Hong Chengchou.
Man Dahai had never collided head-on with the Huaxia Army, and he was very unaccustomed to Hong Chengchou's tricks of wanting to make meritorious contributions, playing tricks, and wanting fame, so he sat down for a while before he said goodbye and left.
Soon, Hong Chengchou heard the staff quietly report, "Man Dahai led 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, 2,000 Manchu cavalry, and 13,000 green battalion soldiers to leave," he couldn't help but be furious, but then the staff said, "It's better for Man Dahai to lure the Huaxia Army over, eliminate the Huaxia Army outside Raozhou Mansion, and lead the Huaxia Army away from their lair, the weaker the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Army will be, and you can also take the opportunity to disperse the strength of the Huaxia Army and test the reality of the Huaxia Army, why not?" β
Hong Chengchou smiled, touched his beard and said: "It's okay, it's not me who suggested him go, you can also shirk the responsibility, if you fight well, the merit belongs to him, and if you lose, he will only look forward to me in the future, very good." He gave his staff an appreciative look, and the staff smiled excitedly.
But Azig in Raozhou's capital couldn't laugh.
The Huaxia army also gave him a chance, once he began to attack, he behaved extremely elite, first a group of sword and shield soldiers crossed the trench, ran to the city wall from the passage left in the middle, and after a cautious reconnaissance, a team of archers came up behind, and then a team of skirmishers, which looked very elite, all kinds of weapons were available, the formation was very open, and they rushed directly to the gap in the city wall, and after occupying the gap in the city wall, the sword and shield soldiers rushed up to consolidate their positions.
Then the skirmishers continued to search the top of the city wall, and the archers came up to occupy the key point at the gap in the wall, and a long group of spearmen crossed the sword and shield soldiers, rushed to the staircase inside the city wall, and guarded the staircase, blocking the upward reinforcement of the Qing army, and then the crossbowmen also came up.
Suddenly the entire city wall was occupied.
Then there are the arquebusiers, as soon as they go up the city wall, they quickly extend under the protection of the sword and shield soldiers, occupy the wall and the gap in the city wall facing the city, more pikemen come up and extend into the gap, after a hundred meters, the pikemen form a formation to protect themselves, the sword and shield soldiers pass through the gap in the pikemen's queue, and the pikemen become one, the sword and shield soldiers protect the pikemen from being shot by bows and arrows, and the pikemen protect the sword and shield soldiers from the impact of the cavalry.
The head is protected by archers and arquebusiers on the city wall, the arquebusier's firing range reaches more than 100 meters, and the maximum firing range reaches 200 to 300 meters, if the Qing army dares to charge, then relying on the height of the city wall, it can hit the cavalry and horse team of the Qing army at a distance of more than 300 meters, and even the charge of infantry.
Then a three-pounder cannon was pushed up the city wall, this time, don't want to get close to the city wall within three hundred meters, the Qing army in Raozhou Mansion has a huge shadow in the heart of the cannon.
When they hear the sound of cannons, they will scatter and flee, like stubborn, frightened mules.
In an hour, the Huaxia army completed their advance and occupied the walls and gaps in the walls on all sides.
And the six-pounder and the nine-pounder cannon were hoisted up the city wall, and the streets and areas from three hundred to six hundred, eight hundred and fifteen hundred meters were covered.
With the help of the height of the city wall, it can even be tens to a hundred meters more.
Azig's hands were shaking.
What's even more desperate is that the green battalion soldiers ran out, the government servants also ran away, most of the young and strong scattered, and the rest had not been watched closely by the Qing army, and they had also fled, everyone knew that now the Qing army was the turtle that caught the turtle in the urn.
The weather also seemed to match his mood at this time, a gust of wind blew, dark clouds filled the sky, countless sand and dust flew up, with a whimpering sound in the wind, a sad song sounded, that was some Qing army Manchu people singing the song of their hometown.
The voice was sad and sad, they had been oppressed too much by the Huaxia Army for more than half a month, and they all knew that there was no reason to survive at this time, and the revenge of the Han people was coming.
The strong winds were still blowing, and the wind and sand were raging, making it impossible to stand, which added to the atmosphere of panic and desolation, and the morale of the Qing army had fallen to a low point.
And the well-trained and disciplined Huaxia army was still entering the city step by step, oppressing, and oppressing.
Groups of arquebus soldiers with arquebuses on their backs quickly lined up in two columns into the city, and then crossed the various cold weapon echelons of the defense, seeing that they were occupying the commanding heights of nearby houses, condescendingly, aiming at the Qing army who retreated to the center of the city and formed a group to protect themselves.
The three-pounder guns were pushed up, the six-pounder guns were pushed in, the three-pounder guns were pushed to the flanks of the queue, and the six-pounder guns were mounted at the crossroads of every street, aiming at the intersections in all directions.
As soon as the battle was touched, the wind was wild, the rain came, and the sand rushed into the attic, rustling the hemp paper windows.
Azig closed his eyes, hesitating, not knowing what to do, this situation seemed to be no matter how hard he tried, unless a large number of reinforcements poured in from the city gates, otherwise, there was only one fact waiting for the Qing army, to be killed.
"Lord Belle, surrender, maybe there will be a way to live, and the 12,000 Manchurians and soldiers in the city will also have a way to live." A Qing army general whispered.
