Chapter 528 Hezhou

Yuan Zongdi's words made Wang Yan vigilant, he stood up, picked up his helmet and put it on, took the horsewhip, and said as he walked out of the tent: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly summoned a few important generals, and everyone praised their horses and came to the camp gate, and rushed back to the city of Wanxian County. Several people stopped at their horses to watch, only to see that the city was crowded and busy, obviously preparing defensive equipment.

Wang Yan's face sank when he saw this, and as soon as he pulled the reins, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and led the generals to the north.

At the head of the city, there are still soldiers standing, on a hill five miles outside the city, Wu soldiers also built a cottage, in the wall of the banner hunting, black hole hole artillery erected on the wall, enough to contain the entire north.

The generals looked at it and frowned, if it was really a hard attack, the casualties of the Ming army would definitely be huge.

Wang Yan turned around, and he already had a bottom in his heart, "It seems that General Wu has a lot of preparations~"

"Xianggong, what should I do? Either we start attacking tomorrow and we can't give them much time to prepare. Yuan Zongdi said.

Wang Yan was silent for a while, and after half a sound, he shook his head, "Wu Bing is ready, and we also need to prepare." Now the army and the camp have not yet been set up, Gao Yigong has not crossed the river, and the equipment has not yet been built, so we also need time. ”

Dai Zhifan on the side said: "This Wu Sangui is trapped in Kuizhou, and he still wants to work for the Qing court. ”

Wang Yan listened and sneered: "This is not necessarily, this person is just thinking about betting on both sides, it is true that he is ready to defend, and it is estimated that it is true if he wants it anyway, but it is a choice he will make when he is forced to do so in the end." Let's see what he says after three days! ”

Although he knew that Wu Sangui might be deliberately delaying, Wang Yan still hoped that he could prompt Wu Sangui to fight anyway, as long as he fought the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty would relieve a lot of pressure.

After saying that, everyone beat their horses back to the camp, Wang Yan immediately ordered the army to hurry up and garrison the camp, and began to build climbing ladders and forts.

The next day, the East Route Army began to cross the river, and the soldiers boarded the boat from the south bank, took off the two arm-thick hemp ropes across the river, and fixed them on the rocks on the shore.

Hezhou, Sichuan.

After the Western Route Army took this important town of Sichuan and Shu by surprise, Haoge, who was entrenched in Chengdu Mansion, finally led 40,000 horses and drove nearly 100,000 Bashu people to make a comeback.

In July, the weather was hot, and the Eight Banners soldiers complained, but there was no way, Wang Yan entered Sichuan in a big way, and the Qing soldiers had to be driven out of Sichuan if they did not fight, so they had to endure the scorching heat and pounce on Hezhou.

After several days of river reclamation, more than 100,000 Bashu people were driven away, and tens of thousands of corpses and soil were used to fill the moat in Hezhou.

The Western Route Army from Guangxi saw the cruelty of the Qing soldiers for the first time, and Ding Kuichu watched tens of thousands of people being driven away like ants, his face turned pale for a while, and his heart was full of fear.

The soldiers were silent for a while, it was the people of Sichuan and Shu who died, and they didn't have much emotion in their hearts, but they generally understood why they wanted to resist the Qing Dynasty, and they vaguely felt in their hearts that they couldn't let this group of people enter their hometown.

On the towering Hezhou city wall, on the top of the wide wall, the archers of the Western Route Army had already lined up, they were nervous with a hard bow in one hand, and the tail of the arrow in the other, and the artillery on each horse face was also loaded with projectiles and gunpowder, all that was lacking was an order.

Before the battle, it was always surprisingly quiet, and the officers who had been running and shouting earlier had already taken their positions, watching the Qing army's front in fear.

A few days after the arrival of the soldiers in the city, the Qing army finally began to attempt the first assault.

After many days of preparation, the Qing army was obviously ready, the black crowd was just outside the range of artillery, and thousands of Qing soldiers carried ladders to climb the city, but whenever they attacked the city, they were always the first troops. After the ladder, there are hundreds of ladders, siege towers, and crash cars.

The endless Qing soldiers are standing solemnly, and the entire battlefield is quiet and terrifying, and behind this quietness, there are endless killing opportunities! The officers in charge of commanding the armies leaped in front of the battle to make a final mobilization to boost morale.

When the troops carrying the ladder of the city shouted in unison, the Qing army was boiling, and the earth-shaking cries came and went, and they went straight into the sky with the momentum of destroying the sky and the earth. The huge sound echoed for a long time in the suburbs of Hezhou, and it was endless.

The Western Route Army killed all the way, and most of the soldiers they encountered were some green battalion soldiers recruited by the Qing army, and some were even bandits who plagued the local area, basically all of them were rabble, so they didn't take the Qing soldiers in their eyes and thought that they couldn't do it.

In the north of the city, Chen Bangfu squinted at the Qing army under the city, and the momentum of the Qing army surprised him. The soldiers around him were also panicked.

The Western Route Army was not an elite in the first place, and even Sha Dingzhou could not defeat it, and now that it was the first time they faced so many enemies, they were inevitably frightened.

Suddenly, the horn sounded suddenly, and the Ming army on the city wall suddenly felt his heart sink down, and his hands involuntarily clenched their weapons, except for the comrades around them, only the guy in his hand was their most powerful support.

In the sound of the horn, the call of the Qing army reached its peak in an instant, and the entire Qing army's ascending troops suddenly surged like a sea tide.

The Ming army at the head of the city of Hezhou knew that the real battle had begun.

Four hundred steps, three hundred and fifty steps, three hundred steps!

Ding Kuichu was so nervous that he didn't dare to look down at the city, so he hurriedly hid aside.

"Artillery ready!" The officers roared and roared.

The Ming soldiers controlled the gun carriages, and instead of aiming their guns at the dense crowd, they pointed at the ladders and siege towers, which posed a huge threat to the city's defenses.

Boom, the sound of artillery sounded, the iron bullets whistled towards the enemy, and the towering siege tower in the distance was hit by several artillery pieces with stones, and after a few shakings, it collapsed with a bang.

"Archer prepare!"

The Western Route Army was a local army, and its firearms and equipment were relatively small, and thousands of archers opened their bows and arrows, their movements were uniform, and the bowstrings creaked under their vigorous pulling, and the sharp arrows were catching their targets.

The Qing soldiers were indeed brave, knowing that there were 30,000 defenders in the city, 10,000 bows and arrows, and nearly 100 artillery, but they still rushed towards the city with a loud shout.

Suddenly, a black rain fell, and the Qing soldiers who rushed in front fell in pieces, like a strong wind hitting the rice fields, but this could not stop the pace of the Qing soldiers, and they continued to move forward despite the rain of arrows.

Soon the head of the city was also counterattacked by the Qing archers, and there were a large number of casualties, and the Ming soldiers showed a trace of panic.

At this moment, the Qing army's ladder to the city wall was set up, and a Ming soldier looked down, and he could already see the enemy's face clearly.

(Thank you for the reward for smiling)
