Volume 8 Chapter 109 Encirclement and Reinforcements

Huang Taiji looked at the battlefield in front of him, his face showed a slight look of anxiety, the six hundred tiger squat cannons he brought had all been piled up, and the artillery battle had already begun, but he didn't know what the battle situation was, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see it at all.

He thought about it for a while, and simply ordered: "Order, order the Mengbaqi foot soldiers to start filling the trenches, five thousand people at a time, don't push the siege vehicles, rush up quickly, fill in five rounds, change the Han Eight Banners foot soldiers, so rotate, I didn't say stop, don't stop." ”

As long as the Ming army is willing to bombard with tiger squat artillery, it must be one cannon at a time, and the foot soldiers and artillery of the Eight Banners sent by himself are hiding under the siege vehicles, and a few artillery may not be able to blow up the siege vehicles.

If the Ming army chooses to bombard the Mengbaqi infantry and the Han Baqi infantry, then the Manchurian Eight Banners infantry and artillery will be safe.

If the Ming army chooses to bombard and bombard the foot soldiers and artillery of the Eight Banners, then the speed of filling the trench will be faster.

Anyway, no matter how the Ming army chooses, it will be beneficial to him, as for the lives of the Meng Eight Banner Infantry and the Han Eight Banner Infantry Soldiers, he doesn't care so much, as long as he can fill the trench, even if he loses tens of thousands of people, he will not feel distressed, this has been eight days, and he hasn't touched the city wall yet, this siege war is simply embarrassing, in order to save face, quickly take Haizhou City, what is the loss of tens of thousands of servants!

His idea is good, but unfortunately, the Ming army didn't follow his idea at all.

At this time, Zheng Hua was closely watching the situation outside the city, and when he saw the black pressure of the Mengbaqi foot soldiers, he immediately ordered without hesitation: "Order, all the thousand jin franc machines and the two thousand jin franc machines are all fired, and two rounds of salvo are fired." ”

"Boom, boom", a fierce artillery roar sounded, the sound was so loud that it even overshadowed the roar of hundreds of tiger squatting cannons when they fired together, and then, dozens of blood grooves were drawn out of the Meng Baqi infantry formation, and the shells were all sprinkled with blood everywhere, and the stumps flew around, and Meng Yuan's foot soldiers lost hundreds of people at once!

Huang Taiji's face changed greatly when he saw this, he didn't expect that the Ming army would have spare time to control the "Hongyi Cannon" in addition to using the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Tiger Squat Cannon on his side, and he didn't even think that the Ming Army in the west of the city had more than 20 "Hongyi Cannons", looking at the number of shells flying over, the Ming Army had at least forty or fifty "Hongyi Cannons"!

Forty or fifty "Hongyi cannons", what a concept, one round of shelling is at least four or five hundred people gone, ten rounds are four or five thousand, so that counted, 60,000 Meng, Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners more than 100 rounds of bombardment!

"Boom, boom", another fierce roar of artillery rang out, and he was stunned for a moment, and lost hundreds of Mengyuan foot soldiers.

This time, he couldn't help but be shocked, he just missed a point, that is, the rate of fire of the Ming army's artillery, in the blink of an eye, it is a round of artillery bombardment, if he launches tens of thousands of people to attack the city in turn, it will not be bombarded by the Ming army in less than an hour!

At this time, Meng Yuan's infantry finally rushed through the attack area of the Ming army's "Hongyi Cannon", and the terrifying loud sound also stopped, but Huang Taiji had already given up the idea of a strong attack, so it would not work to attack like this, a round of hundreds of people, a round of hundreds of people, and the men and horses under him were not enough to bombard!

It's not that he feels sorry for the lives of the Eight Banners of Meng, these people are cannon fodder in his eyes, the key problem is that the consumption rate of this cannon fodder is too fast, if the cannon fodder is consumed, he can only let his own people go.

Just as he was considering whether to give up the assault and use other methods, there was another burst of artillery roar in the city, however, this time the sound was not as loud as the previous two times, obviously, this was the sound of the tiger squatting cannon, but at this time, the Meng Yuan infantry had not yet run to the front of the trench within one mile of the city wall, that is to say, the Ming army chose to bombard the foot soldiers and artillery of the Eight Banners, rather than the foot soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

An ominous premonition came to his heart, the Ming army put so many Mengbaqi foot soldiers not to bombard, but to bombard the Manchu Eight Banner foot soldiers and artillery under the artillery truck, which means that they think that it is more lethal, or rather, the effect is better.

Those Eight Banner foot soldiers don't dare to suffer too many casualties, those are the people of his Yellow Banner, those Eight Banners artillery can't have too many casualties, because the artillery is too difficult to practice, this artillery control is not so simple, not a person can do it, and you have to be the kind of person who is more clever and serious before you dare to let him practice controlling the artillery, if you let a clumsy and careless person control the artillery, it is very likely that the artillery is not lit, and the gunpowder is ignited by him!

The more than 1,000 artillery soldiers under him were carefully selected from the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner, and if one died, there would be one less, and it would take time and effort to replenish them, and it would be difficult to find suitable candidates.

He was pondering there, "boom, boom", and a fierce artillery roar sounded, obviously, the Ming army's "Hongyi cannon" fired again, he looked up, his nose was almost crooked, it turned out that it was the first batch of Mengbaqi foot soldiers who went up to fill the trench and came back after pouring the soil, and the Ming army took the opportunity to bombard another round, and hundreds of people were gone!

He was angry, "boom, boom", another fierce roar of artillery sounded, and hundreds of people were gone, just fill a trench, and lose nearly 2,000 people in one trip, how can this battle be fought!

At this time, Meng Yuan's infantry had already been frightened, one by one with panicked faces, full of fear, desperately running back, even if the Ming army did not fire again, they did not slow down, just a swarm of bees ran back to the Meng Eight Banners phalanx, and then, there were many people who fell to the ground and pulled out vigorously, and even foamed at the mouth, after all, it was almost ten miles away from this time, so crazy, not tired cramps are strange.

Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji could only reluctantly order that the Mengbaqi infantry temporarily stop filling the trenches, so that after a few rounds, the nearly 30,000 Mengbaqi infantrymen should be abolished, and the cannon fodder is not used like this.

Just as he was considering whether to immediately recruit the full eight banner infantry and artillery in front of him, a full eight banner foot soldier actually ran back from the front, ran to him and howled: "Great Khan, the Ming army's artillery fire is too fierce, we have lost thousands of people, and hundreds of siege vehicles have been destroyed by them." ”

"Ahh When Huang Taiji heard this, he hurriedly yelled at the back: "Quick, hurry up and withdraw the troops!" ”

This hard attack is a decisive plan, the Ming army has too many artillery, too fierce, I am afraid that Haizhou City has not been defeated, his more than 100,000 horses will be exhausted, he decided to use siege tactics, or encirclement points to send reinforcements.

If you can't beat it, you can surround it, this kind of thing Huang Taiji is not less, the most miserable Ming general in history who was surrounded by him is Zu Dashou, Chongzhen's four-year battle of Daling River, Zu Dashou was surrounded by Huang Taiji for nearly three months, and finally had to kill the deputy general He Kegang to get out!

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the ancestor of the Songjin Battle was surrounded in Jinzhou by Huang Taiji, but that time Huang Taiji used the tactics of encirclement and reinforcement, and as a result, he defeated the main force of the 130,000 Ming army led by Hong Chengchou in one fell swoop, and completely knocked the Ming into the abyss.

This time he chose to besiege Haizhou again, what will be the result, will Zhang Bin be beaten by him like Hong Chengchou?
