Chapter 229: The Great Killer

Three days later, in the early morning, Tong Guan's army prepared to capture Hangzhou as planned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ma Kuo's 2,000 soldiers and horses returned to the command of Tong Guan, and together with Zhe Kecun, they were personally commanded by Wang Yu and were in charge of the East City Gate, Liu Yanqing and his son were in charge of the South City Gate, Wang Weizhong and Yao Pingzhong were in charge of the West City Gate, and the North City Gate was led by Xin Xingzhong and Han Shizhong to be in charge.

The sound of killing lasted from morning to noon, Qin Hao with his three thousand soldiers and horses did not move, that is, he was stationed in front of the battle, as a pacification envoy of Hangzhou, his main duty was to maintain law and order in the city after recovering Hangzhou.

"Brother, Brother Ma led his troops to attack the city, and climbed the city tower several times, but they were all beaten down by Fang Qifo, do you think we want to go and help?"

Huzi carried the drum urn and golden hammer on his shoulder, listening to the earth-shattering shouts of killing, he looked very uncalm, walking around in front of Qin Hao, looking restless.

Tian Xiaoqian stretched out her hand and slapped him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "I know how to fight and kill at a young age, how can this siege be child's play?" You're here to keep watch, and you're not brave. ”

Qin Hao watched the battle for a long time, and suddenly said: "Huzi seems to be right, after all, we and Ma Kuo are brothers who fought together, and it seems a little unreasonable not to help him this time." ”

Yang Zaixing has a young temperament, and his martial arts are extremely high, on the battlefield, it is really itchy for him to meet an opponent like Fang Qifo, and he nodded and said: "In this case, you are just watching here, and I will meet that Fang Qifo when I go!" ”

"If two tigers fight, there will be an injury, this side of the Seven Buddhas, Brother Yang should not go to the meeting."

Qin Hao shook his head and vetoed Yang Zaixing's request for battle, but turned his head to Mao Xuedao, "Mao Xue, you take the Shenwei Battalion of Erhu and are responsible for blasting open the city gate, Brother Yang and Dugu Chiyo's cavalry, followed closely behind, let's rush into Hangzhou City first." ”

Liang Hongyu said with a smile: "Although Fang La's troops are many, his men and horses have not undergone strict training, nor have they experienced a large battle formation, as long as we can tear a gap in the city gate, Fang La will be defeated!" ”

Three days ago, Fang Qifo fought alone against the three fierce generals in the Western Army, Yang Zaixing saw from the side, his palms were already a little itchy, and he wanted to fight with Fang Qifo happily, seeing that Qin Hao was different, he felt quite regretful.

Qin Hao knew Yang Zaixing's mood, and immediately comforted him: "Brother Yang doesn't have to care, after we recover the Fang Qi Buddha, if you want to fight him, just follow him, Qin Hao has no opinion." ”

Now it's a life-and-death showdown, and after the reconquest comes a friendly match, the two situations are completely different.

But since Qin Hao said this, Yang Zaixing couldn't say anything, and immediately ordered Dugu Chiyo to tell his cavalry to get ready, and just wait for the city gate to open, and then lead his troops to charge the city.

After receiving the order in the snow, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked Erhu to push out the ten cannons of the Shenwei battalion, and there were two kinds of shells made in the snow, one was filled with gunpowder according to the formula given by Qin Hao.

The other is filled with an ordinary gunpowder formula, and the two shells are mixed together, and only Mao Xue and Erhu know how to distinguish between the two shells.

The others, including Qin Hao, didn't know how to distinguish, those ordinary soldiers, Mao Xue didn't teach them how to distinguish, and Qin Hao was too lazy to distinguish.

And in terms of quantity, these two shells are still mainly ordinary explosives, and their purpose is naturally to confuse the public, Qin Hao doesn't want people to think that the power of his artillery has reached a level that people can't control.

Therefore, when letting the snow fire, it is enough to mix one or two with ordinary shells occasionally to play a key breakthrough role, and the other shells do not matter.

If there is an attack, there is a defense, Tong Guan is attacking the city today, and Fang La is also doing his best to defend the city, but the troops defending the city are different according to the strength of the besieging party.

The person in charge of the east city gate is Fang Qifo, the god of war level figure under Fang La, and the person in charge of the south city gate is Shi Bao, the Tianbao general of Suzhou, and the person in charge of the west city gate is Fang Baihua, and the north city gate is his son Fang Hao.

The most difficult of the four city gates is the east gate of the Fang Qi Buddha.

Tong Guan was in command today, his main attack energy was also on the East City Gate, seeing that Ma Kuo and Yao Pingzhong had been unable to attack for a long time, and when he wanted to ask Qin Hao's Shenwei Battalion to help, he saw that Qin Hao moved by himself.

Immediately said to Wang Yu: "General Wang, looking at Qin Hao's frame, it seems that he wants to use the artillery of the Shenwei battalion to shake open the city gate, and then let Yang Zaixing rush in, we have 150,000 horses to attack the city, and the credit for the first rush into the Hangzhou city gate cannot be let him go." ”

Wang Yu knew that Tong Guan was holding back his strength with Qin Hao, and as the Xuanfu envoy of this counterinsurgency, except for the western army led by him, all the Xiang troops in Jiangnan, including Jiangnan, were controlled by him.

However, the official family just separated Qin Hao from each other, which made Tong Guan feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and in the future, the three armies would perform their duties, and now he and Qin Hao's two armies would join forces under the city of Hangzhou.

His own soldiers and horses are dozens of times that of Qin Hao, if Qin Hao is still allowed to take the lead, this face loss is not ordinary, of course, the loss of face is secondary, and the key is the literati in the court who can only shake their heads, which is really a bit hateful.

Tong Guan has supported the army for 20 years and is in a high position, and in this era of respecting literature and suppressing martial arts, it is natural for him to make a big move and be squeezed out by the Chinese people in the DPRK.

Not only that, but even the official Zhao Ji is also intentionally or unintentionally contributing to this unhealthy trend, not to mention that as a eunuch, he is even more ashamed of those literati, if he loses in Hangzhou, it is still light to be ridiculed.

Wang Yu has followed Tong Guan for many years, so naturally his mind immediately took over the topic and said: "In this case, the last general will arrange cavalry and prepare to charge at any time!" ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud bang on the ground, and Mao Xue had already commanded the Erhu Shenwei Battalion to fire the first cannonball.

I have to say that Mao Xue really has some talent for firing cannons, Qin Hao just made a simple comparison, and then threw two stones to briefly explain the principle of parabola to him, but he didn't expect Mao Xue to learn so quickly, and this cannon hit the city gate directly.

However, the power of this cannon seems to be far less than expected, although the city gate is shaking, but the damage is not great, and the location of the shell explosion, except for the blackened one, as if nothing has happened, still hold on to their posts.

"Alas, according to the report of the scouts sent out, blowing his artillery to the point that this thing should only be in the sky, how many times can the earth hear it, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Wang Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that the snowy artillery had not worked.

Tong Guan had a different opinion on Wang Yu's contempt, "A few years ago, Taiwei Ben inspected the Feishan Battalion with the official family, and the power of its artillery is no more than that, Qin Hao can develop it in a short period of time, which is already commendable. ”

Wang Yu has not been to the Feishan camp, only knows that this battalion is particularly relied on by the official family, and now listening to Tong Guan, he is even more disappointed, it turns out that such artillery actually represents the highest level of the Great Song Dynasty, as a military general, he feels quite lost.

In his heart, he really hopes that the Great Song Dynasty can come up with a great killing weapon that shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods!
