Chapter 187: The Attack is still gratifying

Ha Yin.

"It's just a dirt city, you can go down with a snap of your fingers!"

Shang Kexi said proudly.

The small city in front of him really didn't look worth mentioning at all, the ancient rammed earth city wall without bricks had collapsed in many places due to disrepair, and the moat outside the city had been half-dried up, but it was actually the same......

Ha Yin used to be important.

Because in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Heyin was the hub of the Bianqu Caoyun, there was a famous Heyin Cang, even the Song Dynasty was considered an important place, after all, the transit of the Bianqu Caoyun to Hebei and Guanzhong was also inseparable from this city, but after the Bianqu was abolished, there was only one place name left in Heyin, and even the county seat was moved several times, and now this is moved during the Hongwu period, and the original county seat was on the Yellow River beach where Duoduo landed, and the Yellow River water was leveled during the Hongwu period.

After moving to Guangwu Shannan, it is nothing!

Neither a transportation hub.

Nor is it a military strategic location.

It is nothing more than a barren small county town, with rammed earth walls to prevent bandits, and there is not a single equipment to be seen in the city defense equipment, except for the mountain splitting cannon hastily erected by the Ming infantry, there is no other artillery......

Of course, Shang Kexi didn't.

The Qing troops who landed on the Yellow River beach could at most carry some light Furlong planes, and they could not even transport large Furlong planes of 1,000 catties.

After all, they not only had to land on the river beach without a wharf, but also had to walk through those ravines in Guangwu Mountain, their landing ground was not planned, they were forced to land, and the entire Guangwu Mountain was crossed in the south! Although the north and south of Guangwu Mountain are less than ten miles, it is still too imaginative, dragging thousands of Hongyi cannons to struggle out of the mud and sand of the river beach, and then passing through the mountains covered by vegetation less than ten miles but with ravines. The Ming army couldn't transport the nine-pounder cannon to Guangwu Mountain, and they still wanted to roll the eighteen-pounder cannon over the mountains and forests, isn't that nonsense?

But fortunately, Shang Kexi is not the Ningyuan Mountain Pass that needs to be attacked.

It's just a small town.

"Lord Wang, the army of Tiger Prison Pass has been dispatched."

A ministry will report.

I have to say that Shun United has caused them a great danger.

"These mantis arms are the ones who use the car, thinking that they can stop my Qing Dynasty king? Xu Erxian, Jin Zhongqing, the two of you led the troops to block the invasion army, and everyone else, attacking Heyin from all sides, be sure to take it before dark, move the chairs, and this king will sit and watch the minions enter the city! ”

Shang Kexi said.

His cronies, Xu Erxian, who was in charge of contacting the surrender that year, was the former general of the Korean army, and after the surrender, he was renamed the Eight Banners Korea and renamed the Jeongbai Banner Korea Melekin Chungcheong, and immediately led his subordinates to the southwest to block the Shun army coming from Hujiao Pass. The remaining total of 20,000 Han troops of the Eight Banners, Korea, and the Divine Army surrounded the city of Heyin on all sides, and began a ferocious attack on this small city, preparing to offset the firepower advantage of the Ming army with numerical superiority, take Heyin in one fell swoop, and seize the advance base on the south bank of the Yellow River. Shang Kexi pretended to be forced to bring a Taishi chair and sit there, erected his Chinese army flag, and proudly looked at the small city three miles away with a teacup.

"This old guy really doesn't know whether to live or die!"

On the city wall of Heyin, Liu Shixun, the commander of the third brigade of the Ming army, was the deputy brigade commander, holding a telescope and looking at Shang Kexi.

He is a native of Nanjing.

Chongzhen ten years of Wu Jinshi, previously subordinate to Huang Binqing's subordinates, but after returning to the north, he was transferred to Beijing, originally in history Zhang Mingzhen took King Lu to evacuate Zhoushan, leaving him to lead thousands of soldiers to guard Zhoushan, and finally the whole army was destroyed Zhoushan fell and he killed himself.

"Kill him with a mortar or a six-pound cannon!"

The commander of the heavy artillery battalion said.

There were only two infantry battalions in Heyin, and the third brigade was originally stationed at Bishui Ferry, and the Shun army took over from them, and the brigade commander led two battalions to reinforce Guangwu Mountain, leaving Liu Shixun and two battalions to garrison Heyin. At this time, Duoduo had already invested a full 30,000 Qing troops in the Guangwu Mountain battlefield, where there was originally only one and a half brigades, and there was a huge gap in strength. A corps of the Ming army consisted of four infantry brigades, in addition to military heavy artillery battalions and cavalry battalions, plus engineer battalions, transport battalions and medical teams. This time, two battalions of the 1st Brigade and the 4th Brigade were guarding Guangwu Mountain, the other two battalions of the 4th Brigade and the cavalry battalion were guarding the base in Zhengzhou, while the 3rd Brigade was guarding the Bishui Ferry and the 2nd Brigade was guarding the Yangqiao Ferry downstream.

In other words, Fang Guoan didn't expect Duoduo to be so generous.

An army of 100,000 forced crosses the Yellow River.

And the sum of his subordinates is more than 20,000 points.

Fortunately, Yuan Zongdi helped, otherwise the Ming army was really dangerous this time, but even so, his troops were still stretched, after all, with Yuan Zongdi's department, there were actually not as many Qing troops. The defense line in front of Guangwu Mountain must be defended, so the troops on the Heyin side are insufficient, Liu Shixun has two infantry battalions and the brigade heavy artillery battalion that was reinforced later, and the six-pound cannon can indeed not be transported to the mountain, but it can be dragged to the city wall of Heyin.

In addition, he had mortars from the brigade artillery battalion.

But......

"Don't waste shells!"

Liu Shixun gave up the idea of bombing to death.

They are already surrounded, and unless reinforcements from the Shun army can arrive in time, they will have to be trapped in Hayin, and ammunition is precious.

He looked at the Qing army that had entered the firing range, took a deep breath, drew his saber and shouted: "Prepare to fight, people are in the city!" ”

"People are in the city!"

Less than 3,000 defenders shouted in unison.

And on their periphery, more than seven times as many enemy troops have already begun to charge, and the surging Eight Banners Han Army, Korean, and Divine Army, carrying improvised ladders and holding various weapons, shouted and crashed into this small city. The six-pound cannon on the city wall roared first, but it was not a solid bullet, but a grape bullet with a large projectile, a projectile wrapped in barbed wire that was comparable to a single-headed bullet from a gun, which could shoot nine at a time, and still had enough lethality within one hundred and fifty zhang. This is the first thing that the galloping Qing army encountered, the huge projectiles could easily break their limbs, and even kill the second soldier in the back, and the most feared thing of Napoleon's cuirassiers also made the Qing army wail as much as they did.

But the Qing army was still moving forward.

Leaving behind the dead bodies along the way, they soon came within a hundred feet of distance.

At this time, the mountain splitting cannon fired.

They fired shotguns, and the six-pound guns were also replaced with shotguns, and with the spray of flames from the muzzles one by one, the large lead bullets were also sprayed, and the Qing troops facing the muzzles fell in pieces.

But it's not hard to stop them.

After all, the number of artillery pieces is limited, and the rate of fire is no less limited.

Then raise the gun to join.

First of all, the single-headed bullet, when the Qing army entered less than 30 zhang, the gun was also replaced with a shotgun, a six-kilogram heavy cannon, a mountain cannon, and a gun, the Ming army's firepower projection continued to increase, and more and more Qing troops fell. Finally, when they entered the range of twenty zhang, the dense firelight on the city wall sprayed, the bird guns and bullets whistled, the Ming army's firepower reached the limit, and the Qing army that was rushing through the moat continued to fall, and the living were still moving forward frantically.

Soon the first flying ladder was erected on the city wall.

The Eight Banners Divine Army, who arrived first, gathered on this flying ladder and began to climb, and the warrior with the shield soon saw the Ming soldier above his head, and the soldier had a strange smile on his face, and the warrior suddenly felt a chill.

And then......

The latter gave him a grenade.

An oversized defensive grenade, which actually weighed ten pounds.

This can actually be regarded as a cannonball, and the poor Divine Army warrior watched in amazement as this thing fell with a spark, and then fell from his side, and suddenly landed under this ladder full of Divine Army warriors......

The next moment it exploded.

The whole ladder was full of people flying.

"Yes, that's it, you must be economical, you must throw it where the enemy is most."

Liu Shixun said with satisfaction.

It's really useful, but it's only available in limited quantities!

But even this is enough, as ladders were erected on the city wall, and then those Qing troops swarmed up, and then one after another defensive grenades fell, and then they were all blown up and shattered along with the ladders, and the attacking Qing troops were dumbfounded, how could they climb without ladders? Even if it's a rammed earth wall, it won't work without a ladder! All the Qing troops looked blankly at the explosions of fire, and looked at the ladders shattered in the explosion. However, it was fatal for them to be trapped under the city, because there were birds and cannons above them, and while they were helpless, shotguns and bullets were harvesting their lives.

Escape appeared immediately.

If you don't run, you can't do it!

They can't climb the walls with rammed earth!

As more ladders and people were smashed by this frenzied weapon, the Qing army was suddenly deflated, and then began to rout like a crumbling sand castle.

"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!"

The one in the back is still angry.

He slammed the teacup, stood up and brandished his knife and shouted, "Attack, keep attacking!" ”

But the defeated Qing army didn't pay any attention to it, in fact, at this time they were not in the mood to care about the anger of King Zhishun, the insidious Ming army waited until they began to climb the city wall before throwing this, so that the 20,000 Qing troops besieging the city were suddenly trapped in the fire coverage of the city wall, and every moment they stayed was shaking on the edge of death, and those Qing soldiers were not stupid, if they didn't run, would they wait for the bullets above their heads?

Even those Qing army generals selectively ignored the banner of the Chinese army beside Shang Kexi.

But someone cared about him.

The commander of the heavy artillery battalion on the city wall snatched a flowering bullet from one of the artillerymen, who had inserted a fire rope in it and was about to light it as a grenade and throw it down. Under the latter's stunned gaze, the battalion commander pulled out the arquebus, loaded the woodpipe fuse, and then stuffed it into the muzzle next to him......

"Quick, all mortars are aimed at the military flag of Jiannu Zhong!"

He leaned on the mortar and shouted as he aimed.

The subordinates quickly understood, and all six mortars were loaded and began to aim.

The distance is three miles.

And the mortar cannon has a range of four miles.

But there is no precision at all, and whether you can hit it or not depends on your character.

The battalion commander took out his abacus and began to carefully calculate all kinds of data according to the knowledge taught by Zhongyong Hou himself, who was originally a bookkeeper and was very proficient in this. After calculating, he once again lay on the cannon and carefully adjusted, and all the cannons were adjusted by him himself, and he was busy for about two minutes before he grabbed the ignition lever and ignited the cannon beside him without hesitation......
