Volume 7 Chapter 91 Haizhou City Will Fall

Huang Taiji was still hesitating, he mobilized the crowd to run to the west bank of the Santaizi River, but after careful consideration, the strategy was deceived, and Hong Chengchou was deceived in the early stage, so that the Guanning Iron Cavalry was ambushed by him, which proved that his strategy was quite successful.

He thinks that if he is stuck here, Daming will definitely be in the throat, and sooner or later he will wave his army to attack, and the terrain here is not comparable to Salhu, even if Daming gathers all his troops to come, he will be defeated.

He has already touched the mountains and rivers here, how to ambush the main force of the Ming Dynasty, how to take advantage of the situation to take the Guanningjin defense line and even the Shanhaiguan, he thinks clearly, clearly, he wants to replicate the miracle of the original Salhu on both sides of the Santaizi River, and beat the Ming to a slump, and even take advantage of the situation to hit the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and destroy the Ming Dynasty, and now let him withdraw, he really doesn't want to go.

He also knew that it was impossible for Zhang Bin to break through to the east after taking Jinzhou, because there were 40,000 troops led by Dai Shan and Yue Tuo in the east, and the terrain there was complicated, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and there were fortresses built by the Ming Dynasty everywhere.

As for the central and northern parts of Liaodong, he was not worried at all, Haizhou and Liaoyang He had put a lot of effort into digging trenches and moats, and also arranged dozens of Hongyi cannons, and also stationed 20,000 Han and Eight Banner foot soldiers, and the defense even exceeded the original Ningyuan City, even if Zhang Bin gathered 200,000 troops, he might not be able to take it down.

This is a big game of chess, can not be messed up because of a temporary gain or loss, he thinks that even if Zhang Bin temporarily occupies the southeast and west of Liao, it doesn't matter much, in the end Zhang Bin still has to go to the Santaizi River to fight with him, and then it is time for him to reap the fruits of victory.

The so-called small intolerable will make a big plan, he still decided, wait, look at it again, Santaizihe's plan, he really doesn't want to give up.

Zhang Bin is indeed as he thought, has stopped in Jinzhou, he can't fight in the east, he has wheels, warships, the entire sea area is his world, Liaodong coast, he can go wherever he wants, the watershed is blocking his way, but he can lead the army to cross the watershed by boat and directly attack Zhenjiang and Dingliao right guard.

However, there was little point in doing so, because there were still a large number of enemy troops in the watershed, and for the sake of safety, he would have to send large armies on both sides, so that his forces would be scattered and would be disadvantageous to the battle.

This is not the best time to cross the watershed to attack Zhenjiang and Dingliao's right guard, Huang Taiji stuck in the Santaizi River is indeed a big trouble, this problem must be solved first.

Therefore, after he took Jinzhou, he led the army to rush back to Daliaohe Fort by boat, and as for Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Gaizhou, he handed them over to Mao Wenlong.

Although Mao Wenlong only brought 20,000 troops at this time, it didn't matter, because it was more than 500 miles from Jinzhou to Daliaohe Fort by water, and at the speed of the wheel, he could fight back and forth in half a day, and the main army of Huang Taiji was not in the southeast of Liaodong, with those recruits, it was almost impossible to take Jinzhou City garrisoned by Mao Wenlong, an old fritter, in half a day, and he could lead the army to come by boat to support.

Besides, he still has artillery, at this time Spain has already according to the original promise, with blister copper for super battleships, from the Americas will blister copper to the East in a steady stream, the East Cannon Foundry has been non-stop casting artillery, the casting of thousands of pounds of Franc machines and two thousand pounds of Franc machines has not stopped, and even 10,000 pounds of Franc machines he has a batch of reserves, city defense artillery, he has more.

He didn't want to exaggerate too much, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou only let people send twenty thousand catties of Franc machines, but that was enough, with the help of artillery, even if Huang Taiji led the main army of Jiannu, he would not want to capture Jinzhou City garrisoned by Mao Wenlong in half a day.

Huang Taiji is in the next big game of chess, and he is also in the next big game of chess, however, Huang Taiji miscalculated, his next plan is not to go to Santaizi River to fight Huang Taiji, but to take Haizhou City or even Liaoyang City!

There are thirty Hongyi cannons in Haizhou City, and there are forty Hongyi cannons in Liaoyang City, which is already impregnable in the eyes of Huang Taiji, if the Jiliao Governor is still Hong Chengchou, or even Yuan Chonghuan, there is indeed no way to take these two fortified cities, but Zhang Bin has a way.

Isn't it just dozens of Hongyi cannons, playing with artillery with him, that's looking for death!

Although Jiannu can already cast cannons at this time, the cannon that is cast is at most about 1,000 catties, and the range is about the same as a thousand catties of Buddha Lang machines, dozens of thousands of catties of Hongyi cannons are considered a fart, Zhang Bin's two thousand catties of Franc machines in his hands are a lot of them, playing with artillery, he can play Huang Taiji don't want it.

Huang Taiji, you are still relying on the Santaizi River and not leaving, then good, I will let you lose Haizhou!

Zhang Bin led the army to repair in the Da Liao River Fort for a few days, and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army also rushed over, and the two thousand catties of Franc machine guns transported by the east also arrived, and he directly waved his army to the east, and led the 60,000 army to surround Haizhou City!

This time, he ordered people to send two thousand pounds of Franc machine guns is not very much, a total of twenty, mainly these two thousand pounds of Franc machine guns on the land to carry too troublesome, Zhang Bin specially ordered the Dongfan Foundry to cast a batch of gun trucks for two thousand pounds of Franc machine guns, the weight of the artillery with the gun carriage is four or five thousand pounds, at least two horses can be pulled, and the road requirements are also quite high, must be a flat road, if it is a high and low mountain road, you can't enter at all.

Fortunately, the east bank of the Liaohe River to Haizhou City and Liaoyang City are all plains, and the roads are also flat and flat, and the two thousand catties of Furlong machine guns can still be pulled over.

Zhang Bin is still playing the siege of three and one, he personally led 10,000 Qi family troops and 10,000 Qin troops to live in the west of Haizhou City for the main attack, Sun Chuanting and Ma Xianglin led 20,000 Qin troops and 20,000 Sichuan troops to live in the north and south of Haizhou City bluff, as for the east of Haizhou City, there is close to the watershed, the terrain is uneven, the army can not be spread at all, and he still hopes that the defenders can escape like the defenders of Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Jinzhou, so he did not send a soldier to the east at all.

Will the defenders of Haizhou City escape?

That's impossible, because the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty stationed in Haizhou City are stationed in Haizhou City, and Huang Taiji gave a death order, and the city is in the people, which means that it is obvious, if the city is broken, then, you, all go to die!

And the guard of Haizhou City is one of Dolgon's unlucky three brothers, Azig, that is, Prince Heshuoying in the back, although this guy's ability is not as good as Huang Taiji and Dolgon, but he still has a few brushes, he saw that the Ming army was only fifty or sixty thousand horses, and his mouth was about to glimpse the sky, so many people and horses dared to attack Haizhou City, and the commander of the Ming army was afraid that his brain was in water.

Of course, Zhang Bin's brain didn't enter the water, if he wasn't sure, how could he lead the army to attack Haizhou City, but this Haizhou City was really not so easy to take, not only did there be thirty artillery pieces in the city, but there were also dense trenches outside the city, and there was a moat.

Zhang Bin observed the situation inside and outside Haizhou City with a telescope, frowned slightly, and then ordered: "Qi Yuangong, set up a cannon, test firing; Cao Wenzhao, prepare earth and stone to fill the ditch; In addition, Sun Chuanting was ordered to build siege vehicles, and Ma Xianglin was ordered to build a ladder. ”

With his order, all the 60,000 Ming troops took action, Cao Wenzhao, Sun Chuanting, and Ma Xianglin didn't care about it for the time being, and Zhang Bin was most concerned about Qi Yuangong's side.

What will be the effect of the two-thousand-pound Franc machine and the city wall?

This, he really hasn't tested it, now he wants to try, if it is a sensation, he doesn't mind flattening the city wall, after all, it is much more cost-effective to take a pile of shells than to take a pile of human lives, ammunition, he has, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as endless, but the soldiers are one less dead, at this time he can mobilize a total of 60,000 troops, take human lives, he can't afford to pile up at all.

Qi Yuangong skillfully commanded the artillery of the Qi family army to separate the gun carriage from the horses, put it in the right position, nailed the gun carriage to the ground and fixed it, and roughly estimated the distance with a telescope, let the artillery adjust the elevation angle, and then ordered without hesitation: "The tenth door in the middle, test fire one shot." ”

There was a crisp sound of "click", and the artillery of the Qi family army skillfully stuffed the child gun into the mother gun, and then there was a loud bang, and a cannonball the size of a human head smashed on the city wall with a bang.

This position is still a bit off, and it did not hit near the arrow battlements of the city wall, but smashed into the middle of the city wall.

Zhang Bin carefully observed the situation of the cannonball landing point with a telescope, and sighed with relief, fortunately, the city wall of Haizhou City is not very strong, and the cannonball of the two thousand catties of Franc machine smashed on it, and smashed out a nest the size of a sea bowl, and there is still hope for flattening the arrow stack and the female wall below.

He directly ordered: "Adjust the position, keep bombarding the arrow battlements and the female wall, and flatten the western wall!" ”

Qi Yuangong obeyed the order, and then ordered to fine-tune the elevation angle, and after two more test shots, the cannonball finally smashed near the arrow stack, and then he ordered all twenty cannons to unify the elevation angle, load the guns, and keep blasting away.

At this time, Azig in Haizhou City finally stopped pouting, his mouth was open at this time, enough to stuff two eggs, he was frightened, the Ming army actually had such a long range of artillery, this time it was a big trouble.

He originally thought that even if the Ming army bombarded him with artillery, it would be fine, because they were condescending and had a certain advantage in range, and the Ming army wanted to bombard the city wall, and the artillery must be pushed into the city wall within the scope of the artillery.

Now he was dumbfounded, the range of the Ming army's artillery was more than a mile farther than the artillery on the city wall, and they couldn't hit them at all!

"Boom boom", the roar of artillery continued to sound, the shells of the Ming army as if they didn't want money, kept smashing to the city wall, the gravel on the city wall flew around, the arrow buttress and the female wall were bombed everywhere There were pits, according to this bombardment method, it was only a matter of time to blast through the arrow buttress and the female wall.

Azig's face became more and more pale, if the arrow stacks and the female wall were cut off, the defenders on the city wall would have no cover, and the cannonballs would hit the people, and the cannonballs with the big heads would hit the people, what would be the effect of the cannonballs with the big heads hitting the people, don't think about it, can there still be life!

The Ming army bombarded for more than an hour, although there was a short break in the middle, but it never stopped, the arrow buttresses and the female wall on the city wall finally couldn't bear it, many places were blasted out of the gap, Azig couldn't bear it, he howled in despair: "Quick, go and report to the Great Khan, the Ming army attacked the city with huge artillery, our artillery can't reach them at all, but they can bombard the city wall, if it goes on like this, Haizhou City can't hold it at all!" ”

When the herald guards behind him heard this, they obeyed the order, and then ran down the city gate tower quickly, and galloped away in the direction of the east gate.

Zhang Bin couldn't help but smile when he saw the gap in the city wall, it seems that in less than two days, the city wall will be flattened, and when the time comes, hehe.

Huang Taiji wants to cry at this time, the Ming army attacked the city with a huge cannon, Haizhou City is in danger, this plan to wait for the rabbit can't go on, he can only withdraw the army, otherwise, Haizhou, Liaoyang, and even Shengjing will be taken by the Ming army, and he is still playing a fart!

This Zhang Bin is really his nemesis, twice, his good deeds are bad in his hands, why didn't this little emperor kill him!

He was mad at Zhang Bin, and he thought that Chongzhen would kill Zhang Bin!

Actually, he is not crazy, what is crazy is the Apocalypse, Chongzhen, or the Eunuch Party, and the Qichu Zhejiang Party.

Since the war with Houjin, Daming has not been without characters who can restrain Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, such characters, Daming does not say that he grabs a handful, there are still a few, and moreover, they have all been Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have no way at all.

However, generally when Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are rectified, the Ming court will have to find a way for them, and anyone who stands in their way will be unlucky!

For example, Xiong Tingbi, in the first year of the Apocalypse, he raised troops in Shenyang and Tuntian, Liaoyang, and sent out an army of nearly 200,000 people, which made Nurhachi anxious and unable to advance an inch.

Another example, Sun Chengzong, he built the Guanning Jin defense line, and also tried in vain to advance the fortress, forcing Nurhachi and Huang Taiji to have no choice, as a result, he was also deposed, and was deposed twice, and finally the Qing army attacked Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, led the whole city to defend the city, the city was captured, and he hanged himself, his five sons, six grandsons, two nephews, and eight nephews all died in battle, and more than 100 members of the family were killed by the Qing soldiers!

Another example, Yuan Chonghuan, he stuck to the Guanningjin defense line, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji both suffered big losses in his hands, and as a result, he was executed by Ling Chi!

Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, the father and son, seem to be murderous, whoever can't get along with them will have to die, and the greater the trouble caused to them, the worse the death!

In fact, it is not that they are murderous, but that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty are doing trouble.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Yao Zongwen, who caused Xiong Tingbi to be deposed, was the first scum of the Zhejiang Party to join Wei Zhongxian;

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, it was Wei Zhongxian himself who forced Sun Chengzong to dismiss the official;

In the three years of Chongzhen, Wang Yongguang, Gao Jie, Yuan Hongxun, Shi Wei, etc., who caused Yuan Chonghuan to be executed by Ling Chi, were all remnants of the eunuch party;

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Min Hongxue and Yuan Baoqi, who forced Sun Chengzong to dismiss again, were still remnants of the eunuch party.

At this time, Zhang Bin has already forced Huang Taiji to have no choice, is the remnants of the eunuch party in the court going to "help" again?
