Summer is approaching, and the nights are getting shorter and shorter, but at about five o'clock, the sky is already bright.

The people under Fengyang City shouted that the horses were neighing, and more than 100,000 Qing troops surrounded the city, set up a circle of cannons, and prepared to attack the city.

Thousands of camp tents are densely packed and row upon row, and you don't know which camp tent is handsome from a high place?

This is a strategy offered by Fan Wencheng of the Qing Army to the commander Duoduo, so that he is not afraid that Lin Yu will drive an ironclad car to attack the handsome tent, so as not to be captured by the thief and capture the king first.

In order to confuse Lin Yu, Fan Wencheng also proposed to erect sixteen handsome flags in the army, located in the southeast, northwest, and four directions of Fengyang City, which could not only inspire the morale of the army, but also allow Duoduo to avoid the danger of being bombarded.

The thirty-year-old Duoduo was tall, with strong limbs, a hooked nose, and his eyes were in the shape of an inverted triangle, exuding a fierce and vicious aura, which made people daunting.

"The Ming army on the city wall is in good order, and they were not scared away!"

The Prince of Daqing Yu, who was surrounded in the center like a moon by the stars, used a clairglass to observe the city wall, turned his head and asked the military officers Fan Wencheng and Belle Bolo beside him, "How many days can you blow up the gate of Fengyang?" ”

Bo Luo arched his hand and said: "The Ming army on the city wall is in good order, and there are still a large number of people who have come to the city to help in the battle, at least it will take about three days to break the city, right?" ”

"Three days?"

Duoduo touched the eagle's nose, "The reinforcements from Nanjing have arrived early in three days, pass my order, give me a bombardment for half a day today, Lao Tzu will make Fengyang City bleed!" ”

"Wow!"

Bolo agreed and personally went to the artillery battalion to arrange the battle of shelling Fengyang.

The reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to enter the customs smoothly, in addition to Wu Sangui opening the gate of Shanhaiguan, was also inseparable from Fan Wencheng's planning and Hong Chengchou's scheduling, which was regarded as the right-hand man by Huang Taiji and Dolgon, and was very relied on.

Duoduo suffered a great defeat in Yangzhou, lost his troops and lost his generals, and reported the battle situation to Dolgon, who was sitting in Beijing, and told Shi Ke that the French army had an ironclad chariot weighing more than 100,000 catties, and its cannonballs were amazingly powerful, which led to the return of the feathers.

Dolgon convened the Manchu civil and military forces to discuss, and all of them had never heard of this kind of ironclad car. Dolgon summoned the foreigners in Beijing to inquire, and even sent people to Taiwan by boat to ask the Dutch for advice in order to find a way to restrain the ironclad cars.

"The minister is willing to go to the front line to help Prince Yu avenge his revenge."

Fan Wencheng volunteered, hurried to the Duoduo army, and offered a strategy to deal with the ironclad chariots. Duoduo was overjoyed when he heard this, and everything was done, almost worshipping Fan Wencheng like a god.

At this moment, seeing Duoduo ordering the bombardment of Fengyang, the forty-eight-year-old Fan Wencheng shook the feather fan in his hand and talked and laughed: "Why should the prince be in a hurry, as long as Lin Yu's ironclad car is destroyed, Fengyang City is not in the bag?" As for the people, let's try to kill as few as possible...... I am in the Qing Dynasty to govern the world, and I can't learn from Temujin! ”

Duoduo frowned and said: "You have to slaughter Fengyang in order to snow the hatred in the heart of the king, but I don't know if Mr.'s strategy is useful?" Can you really subdue this ironclad chariot? ”

"Huh...... I have laid a net from heaven to earth, and I am afraid that this ironclad car will not come. Fan Wencheng's feather fan shook lightly, looking strategic.

Duoduo nodded: "This time, not only will the remnants of the ironclad car be abolished, but all the reinforcements who crossed the river will be wiped out, and no one will be let go." ”

Dutong Tu Lai Ling suggested: "Liu Liangzuo was frightened and ran to Shouzhou to watch, the prince can give him a letter of repair, promise him a high-ranking official Houlu, and let him cut off the retreat of the Nanjing reinforcements." ”

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the defeat of our army in Yangzhou, it is estimated that Liu Liangzuo would have surrendered a long time ago, and now he retreats to Shouzhou to stay put, just to wait and see the war." If we can't subdue the remnants of the ironclad car, Liu Liangzuo will not surrender. ”

"Whew!"

Duoduo spat out, "These Han people are really shameless, they are all grass on the wall!" ”

After a pause, he sneered: "Mr. Fan, this king admits that he is a ghost, and your strategy will definitely have a surprise effect on the ironclad car." This king is not as good as you in terms of strategy, but you are not as good as this king in terms of strategy, do you know that this king is in the next big game of chess? ”

"Oh...... Please advise the prince? Fan Wencheng looked deaf.

Duoduo reached out and touched the shiny head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will definitely be surprised by the time come, and you will be amazed by the talent of this king." ”

While he was talking, several fast horses galloped from the south, crossed the Qing army's position all the way, and went straight to Duoduo to turn over and dismount, kneeling on one knee: "Report to the prince, the reinforcements from Nanjing have passed through Liuhe County, and it is expected that they have entered the territory of Lai'an County at this moment, and there are still about three hundred miles away from Fengyang." ”

Duoduo frowned slightly: "Our army just arrived at Fengyang City in the middle of the night last night, and this morning the Ming army arrived in Lai'an, and they came so quickly." ”

Turai Ling was also a little surprised: "This Ming army is a little different from before, I saw our Manchu army in the past, either fleeing without a fight, or surrendering to the wind." This group of men and horses actually marched towards Fengyang, but it was a bit bloody, and it seems that the Han people also urinated standing up. ”

"How many people are coming? Who will be the Lord? Has the ironclad car ever been with the army? Duoduo asked in a deep voice with his arms folded over his chest.

The scout replied: "Back to the prince's words, the Ming army from Nanjing to aid about fifty or sixty thousand people, I heard that the main general defeated our Lin Zhenjiang in Yangzhou, he was canonized by Zhu Youxiang as the governor of Fengyang, led the army to aid Fengyang, and the ironclad roof opened the road in the front. ”

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hehe...... It's good to come, otherwise the hard work of the ministers will be in vain. ”

Dodor was a little surprised: "Oh...... This guy was a deputy guard a few days ago, and he has become a governor in just a few days? Is this what their Han people said, 'There is no general in Shu, Liao turned into a pioneer'? ”

"Cut...... I think Zhu Youxiang is smart, if the Ming army doesn't have an ironclad car, coming to rescue Fengyang is simply a meat bun beating a dog! The cavalry battalion commander next to him, Vakda, interjected.

Duoduo glared at Vacda, "Who do you say is the dog?" You're the dog, your whole family is a dog, and the future will talk through the brain! ”

"Yes, I'm a dog, and our whole family is a dog!"

Wakda scratched his smooth scalp in embarrassment, and said in his heart Aren't we a family, we are all surnamed Aixin Jueluo.

Turai Ling said: "I have just received a letter from the prince of Abatai, saying that the army led by him and the king of Pingxi has arrived in Yingchuan, three hundred miles from Fengyang and one hundred and fifty miles from Shouzhou. Do you continue to march towards Fengyang, or kill Ben Shouzhou to encircle and suppress Liu Liangzuo? ”

Duoduo thought for a while and made a decision: "Order Abatai and Wu Sangui's soldiers to divide into two roads, Wu Sangui led his troops to kill Ben Fengyang, and Abatai took Huoqiu, bypassed Shouzhou to kill Ben Dingyuan, and copied the back road of Lin Zhenjiang." This king must completely annihilate this support army in order to vent the hatred in my heart. ”

Fan Wencheng shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Why let the king of Rao Yu take a detour and let him lead his troops to kill Ben Shouzhou." Although Liu Liangzuo would not surrender for the time being, he definitely did not dare to start a war, and when he learned that our army would inevitably continue to flee south, he could save seventy or eighty miles. ”

After a short time, Boloze Malay reported: "Report to the prince, our artillery is ready, ready to attack the city at any time!" ”

Duoduo's eyes closed slightly, and his murderous aura was revealed: "Give me a cannon bombardment of the city, I want to turn Fengyang into ashes!" ”

Dodor said and danced: "Hmph...... There are nearly two million people crowded in Fengyang City now, and if this cannonball goes down, it may collapse the brains of Bai Huahua, hehe...... It smells so good! ”

"How many more flowering shells were captured in the army? Pull them all out and use them, Lao Tzu wants to blow Fengyang to a pulp! ”

At the mention of killing, Dodor went into a state of utter madness, as if it were the funniest thing in the world for him.

[PS: Briefly state whether there was a flowering bomb at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this issue has been debated by historians for a long time, and it has not yet been conclusive.

A lot of evidence and literature show that there were flowering bombs in the late Ming Dynasty, for example, Nurhachi was injured by the fragments of flowering bombs and returned to Shenyang and died of infection.

Yuan Chonghuan also mentioned in the fold that "one shot erodes ten miles", of course Yuan Dudu blows and blows, but this also proves from the side that there are flowering bombs in the late Ming Dynasty, otherwise how can you have a solid bullet that erodes ten miles?

Later, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, a large number of flowering shells were found in an abandoned Ming Dynasty arsenal in Beijing, and I was surprised that it was even more advanced than the European ones.

Zuo Zongtang, a feudal official of the Qing Dynasty, also mentioned in the "Complete Works of Zuo Xianggong" that the Ming army had flowering cannonballs, and the text recorded: see more than 200 flowering cannons in the city tower of Zuo Fengxiang Mansion, and see a large ocean cannon in the west city of Pingliang Mansion, engraved with the words "Wanli" and "General System Hu", etc., and the remaining erosion. However, sharp weapons have been in China for more than 300 years.

As for why the flowering bullets gradually disappeared from the army in the Qing Dynasty, some historians believe that the Qing court suffered a loss in flowering bullets, so they restricted the production of this weapon, and believed that the strength of the army should still rely on horseback riding and archery, so the Qing army slowly ran out of flowering bullets.

Although the flowering bombs of the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the grenades of the nineteenth century, it does not mean that the Ming Dynasty did not have flowering bombs.

As for whether the Ming Dynasty had a flowering bullet, it still has to be studied and demonstrated by historians, and the swordsman will not comment much.

Since there is no conclusive conclusion on the coffin, the swordsman adopts the view that there were flowering bullets in the late Ming Dynasty, after all, this is a novel, and it cannot be used as a historical paper. 】
