Chapter 150, The Siege That Had to Be Carried Out (4)

"Uncle Fourteen, why don't we let those coats and Nikan rush again? Our people mingled in and killed together. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't think they seem to be willing to kill those Nikans. Hauge said suddenly.

"Of course they don't want to kill." "Do you remember what the Tessie named Yuri talked about buying slaves with?" The guy said, the Dutch, the Spaniards occupy a lot of large islands overseas, and there is a great need for manpower to grow sugar or something on them. Do you remember the price this guy gave us? This guy's price is really not particularly low. It's just that there are fewer people who can carry a boat, and there is not as much money to buy people as there is to buy leather and timber. That's why we didn't make this deal with him on a large scale. Now that this man was sent to the door, of course they will rob it. But if you really want to mix our people in those Nikans, can they still ask for money and die? And if we mix our people in those Nikans, do we want to form a formation? If people are ruthless and kill together, we will be sent to death. ”

"How about putting our men in Nikan's clothes, blending in, and then attacking inside and out?" Hauge said again.

This practice mentioned by Hauge was also one of the common tactics of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who used to attack cities by pioneers who drove civilians to flee into the city. At the same time, some people were sent to disguise themselves as civilians and follow them into the city, and when the siege of the city was built, these people suddenly attacked, cooperated inside and outside, and grabbed the city gate or something. Historically, many cities were captured by the Manchus in this way.

Dorgon thought for a moment and said, "That's a way to do it. Hauge, you go and arrange it. ”

The so-called letting Hauge arrange it naturally refers to sending people from Hauge's subordinates to disguise themselves as civilians. This work was dangerous, because it was clear that the "Dutch" did not know how much more elite than the Ming army they had dealt with before. Even if it is a surprise attack, you can't wear armor, you can't hold a shield, you can't carry a bow and arrows, and you can't carry a longer weapon, and you can often only hide a short sword on your body. Relying on such force, under the premise that the opponent is well-trained, it is really a question of how much effect it can play. Of course, if it succeeds, Hauge will naturally have the greatest credit, and when the spoils are distributed, he can also get the largest share.

Hauge left, and it wasn't long before a large group of Han Chinese was moving towards the trench again. At the same time, the almost ineffective shelling stopped.

"What are they doing here?" Seeing that the Manchus had driven another batch of Han Chinese over, Lucien frowned.

"Shouldn't they be trying to mix in with some spies in here and attack them from the inside and outside? It's an old trick of theirs. Guo Huaiyi said, "But it doesn't matter, we are not the Ming army, we have been prepared for a long time." ”

Behind these people were usually supervised by a few Qing soldiers in armor, but as a result, a few shots were fired at the ice wall, and these guys all fell.

"I said, I only fired six or seven shots, why did I fall a dozen or so?" Jiang Tie had just knocked down a target, turned around and took the loaded flintlock pistol from Feng Jin's hand, and then was surprised to find that the Tartars in charge of supervision had actually fallen to the ground.

"It's definitely playing dead! Dog Tartars are also afraid of death! Another fighter said.

"Of course I'm afraid to die. If you're not afraid of death, why didn't you run away yesterday. As far as craftsmanship is concerned, those Tartars are really good, and as soon as they escaped, they were chased after us and stabbed with bayonets, and they died instantly. Especially the Feng Jin brothers, they can run faster than horses, which Tartar can outrun him, take it, I finally caught up to kill one Tartar, and the Feng Jin brothers have already killed three. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's really dead or fake, he'll make up for two more shots." Another said.

However, it was not easy to make up for the two shots, at least not for now, because after these people were "knocked down", those "Han people" immediately rushed to jump into the trench not far away, and then ran along the trench towards the exit.

"No, there's something wrong with these people!" Chang Le said, "There must be a lot of them pretending to be Tartars." ”

"There must be a lot of people in this gang who are disguised as Tartars." Guo Huaiyi said, "Let the troops be prepared for contingencies. ”

The gang of "Hermes-Epitek" ran along the lines drawn on the ground, and in a few moments they reached the gate of the city they had expected. But the gates of the city were shut. And the people of the city shouted, "Go to the place surrounded by the rejection horses!" ”

"Why, open the gates! We're going into town! Several "Hermes-Epitek" ran towards the city gate, shouting as they ran.

"Stop! Those who contact the horse rejection will not be killed! There was a shout in the city, and at the same time two flintlock muskets rang out, and the bullets struck in front of the men, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The few people who rushed over paused, then slowly retreated.

"Brother Zhang, this place is not very good." One Hermes-epitek said to the other person next to him, in a low voice.

"It's no big deal, let's wait first. Wait for the fight outside to be lively, and then ......."

It was this operation that spoke, and the commander was Zhang Aiman. This Zhang Aiman was originally a Han people in Liaodong, and later after the wild boar skin raised troops, Zhang Aiman's family became people's clothed slaves, and then later, each banner established the Han army (this is the Baoyi to which each flag belongs, not the later Han army flag. Zhang Aiman did it in the Han army, because as an internal response, he successfully deceived some walled cities, and was promoted to the commander of the Han army, and this time he was sent to carry out this task.

……

Seeing that the "Hermes-mes" had disappeared behind a sharp corner of the ice wall, Dorgon nodded, waved his hand, and the attack began.

Kong Youde's two cannons had been silent for a while, but now they began to fire again. It's just that as before, their cannons are still very inaccurate, and only two of them hit the ice wall after several shots, and the damage caused is not too great.

Under the cover of artillery, a large platoon of shield wagons was pushed again. Behind the shield cart were groups of Qing soldiers.

The artillery of the Model Army began to fire, constantly pumping shells into the ranks of the Qing army.

"A six-pounder is just a six-pounder after all." Lu Xien looked at the approaching Qing army and sighed to Guo Huaiyi, "You see, although we hit the target, but after the six-pounder cannon penetrated the shield car, it could only kill two more people, so they can still keep approaching us." If we had used an 18-pounder gun, we would have penetrated their entire queue with a single shot. If all the six-pounder cannons here were to be turned into eighteen-pounder cannons, no matter how many barbarians came, they would have to 'irrigate our land with their filthy blood,' as our song goes. ”

Although Lucien was dissatisfied with the power of the six-pounder cannon, the Manchus did not think so. Shells flew into the queue, opening the shield cart with a gap, and then smashing the soldiers behind them to the ground. At a distance of several hundred paces, the Dutch shells continued to inflict more and more casualties on the Manchus. Moreover, the casualties caused by artillery shells are not the same as those of bows and arrows, and the mortality rate is much higher when hit by it.

But at this time, the Qing army was still a very effective force, although they were under constant shelling, they were still able to keep advancing against the shells. It's just that in the shelling, their formation inevitably became chaotic.

"If we had a heavy cavalry, we would be able to ...... one by now," Lucien said, pointing to the somewhat disorganized formation of the Manchus.

"Forget it, Old Lu. Even if there were, you'd definitely let them go under the bastion and break the blood, and then get on the cavalry while they fled. Guo Huaiyi smiled and said, "Even those children know that your favorite is the first is defense, the second is defense, and the third is defense." ”

"Which bastard said that!" Lucien said, "Besides, the major general also said that most of the time defense is a more advantageous means than offense. One of the great military strategists is that in offensive action they force the enemy to attack targets that are not suitable for attack. Just like now. If we hadn't slapped them in the face yesterday and put all the captives up for display, they might not have had any interest in doing anything to us. But now, if they don't do it, it will be a huge blow to morale. So, they had to fight us in this position that was very unfavorable to them. ”

As the two spoke, the Manchu soldiers had already come within range of their flintlock muskets, and by this time they had already lost most of their shield wagons in the shelling. The artillery had also begun to attack them with shotguns.

The shotgun fire brought more casualties, but the Manchu army approached the trench, some of them carrying long planks on their backs, laying them on the trench, and the soldiers stepped on the planks to cross the trench.

In addition to some of the soldiers rushing forward with their shields, many archers began to shoot at the model soldiers on the ice wall. Attempts were made to interfere with the shooting of the Model Army. But more often than not, their attacks were ignored by the Model Army. Because these arrows thrown could not penetrate the helmet and cuirass with shoulder pads of the model army.

Wenda gasped and rushed through the trench in front of him, and then he and he ran directly under the ice wall according to their own experience. The ice wall is not high, but it is not easy to climb, after all, it is too smooth. He came here because, in his experience, as long as he was close to the base of the city wall and put his shield on his head, it would not be easy for the people above him to hit him. Unless he ventures out and half-folds out.

There are many people who have the same experience as him, and they have all chosen a similar way. Wenda lunged to the base of the wall, and then he heard a line of gunshots, and several "experienced" veterans around him immediately fell to their deaths without saying a word.

Winda turned her head to see that someone was pointing the muzzle of the black hole at herself on the two ice walls opposite......
