No. 048 Wuzhou Bloody Battle (1)
Li Chengdong received the military report of the defeat long before Shi Fu's uncle and nephew returned to the camp with the remnants. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He was shocked and angry, and understood that he had been put on the side by the puppet monarchs in Wuzhou City again. The night attack failed, and nearly 3,000 soldiers were killed and sunk in the sand.
He knew very well that the failure of the night attack plan must be something wrong with Neiying, but he didn't know if it was Neiying's rebellion or because he was arrested and exposed, but none of this mattered, in short, this time he was defeated, and he was defeated very badly, almost breaking his bones.
Li Chengdong walked out from behind the handsome case, held up Shi Fu with his own hands, and smiled bitterly: "The responsibility for this battle is not the general, but in this town, it is the town's negligence." ”
Shi Fu originally thought that Li Chengdong would be furious and put the responsibility for the defeat on their uncles and nephews, after all, they were generals and not confidants, but he didn't expect Li Chengdong to be broad-minded, and he didn't hesitate to take the responsibility for the defeat on himself, he said gratefully: "Mark the grace of Xie Dashuai for not punishing." ”
Li Chengdong returned to the Shuai case, looked around at the generals with sharp eyes, and shouted: "50,000 troops have gathered here for more than half a month, and they really can't take a small Wuzhou City, where is my Qing Tianwei?!" After dawn, the three armies will be mobilized and attack with all their might, if you can't attack again-" Li Chengdong brazenly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and cut off a corner of the handsome case: "All the generals are from the general army down, there is such a case!" ”
"Yes!" The generals in the tent were shocked in their hearts and received their orders with a bang.
At ten o'clock in the morning, more than 25,000 Qing soldiers set up a formation under the city, waving flags, soldiers like a forest, Li Chengdong wore a hood, wore iron armor, personally supervised the battle, he pulled out his waist knife, and shouted in front of the battle: "The three armies obey orders, there is no retreat in the battle today, if there is disobedience, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
After the herald delivered the general's order, more than 20,000 Qing soldiers waved their spears and echoed in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ......" The sound of killing shook the four fields, and the birds on the trees flew away in pieces.
The flag shook, the cowhide war drums were beating, and ten thousand Qing troops pressed towards the city wall like a mountain and a sea of ladders.
"Shoot the arrows! Release! Quick—"
The military orders at the head of the city are frequently transmitted, the bowstring rings rapidly, the crossbowmen of the Ming army, the fire gun team flashed out one by one from behind the female wall, regardless of the safety of the city to pour arrow rain, the Qing army listed the rattan cards in front of the Qing army, forming an impermeable shield array, the sword spear hands around the cloud ladder were tightly protected, "Ping Pong ......" hit the window lattice like rain, the rattan cards were instantly filled with feather arrows, some of the rattan cards were pierced by the fire guns, and a rattan soldier behind them would immediately fill up, close the shield array, and so on after rushing through the moat, the formation was still generally complete. Soon, a siege ladder leaned against the city wall, and the Qing soldiers held swords and waved spears, and climbed along the ladder to the city.
At the same time, the Qing army's firearms and crossbow teams also began to return fire, cover, and rain of arrows poured into the sky!
Zhu Youlang, who supervised the battle at the head of the city, originally expected that the Qing army had suffered a secret loss and might strike a decisive blow, so he did not avoid the hardships and dangers, and went to the front line in person, wearing armor and holding a gun, shouting: "The ancestor has a saying: The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." Soldiers, today I will be with you, kill the Tartars, and protect my rivers and mountains! ”
"Kill the Tartars and protect my rivers and mountains!"
"Kill the Tartars and protect my rivers and mountains!"
……
The Son of Heaven did not avoid the blade, and when he came to the front of the battle, the soldiers and civilians were greatly encouraged, swords and guns danced, and the Qing army was sacrificed and selfless.
A few hours later, the city was already full of a thick layer of corpses, including those of the Qing army, the Ming army, and even many young and strong people in the city. The Qing army seems to have sworn not to give up this time, the siege team died a group, rushed a group, and the follow-up team stepped on the corpse of the front team, and the siege did not stop, one fell, one person went up, and if he retreated slightly, he was killed by Li Chengdong's family guards.
Seeing that the sons under his command were killed or injured one by one, after being carried down from the front of the formation, the heart of Shi Fu, the commander of the forward battalion, was dripping blood, these soldiers were his baby bumps, and they were consumed under Wuzhou City like cannon fodder, he was unwilling!
After another wave of Fujian sons were killed in battle, he finally mustered up the courage and walked in front of Li Chengdong, the commander of the Chinese army in the rear formation, and knelt down in tears to persuade: "Dashuai, you can't attack anymore!" The casualties are too great! ”
"Bastard!" Li Chengdong's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "You dare to mess with our army's heart? Believe it or not, this town has beheaded you! ”
"It's not a pity to die! It's just such a bloody battle, even if the marshal takes Wuzhou, how many soldiers are left? At that time, where will the authority of the marshal remain? ”
Li Chengdong was secretly frightened after hearing this, and Shi Fu's heart-wrenching words woke him up, in troubled times, if there is a soldier, he is the king of grass, and if there is no soldier, he is a slaughtered sheep, why would the Qing court reuse him? Isn't it because he has 4,000 elite veterans under his command who are willing to serve their lives, which is the essence left after experiencing hundreds of wars in the past ten years!
If he doesn't have these capitals, I'm afraid he won't even be a fart at that time, and recently the Qing court has become more and more wary of him, and not long ago, he parachuted a Liangguang governor Tong Yangjia to Guangdong.
Tong Yangjia was born in the Tong family in Liaodong, and many of his ancestors served in the Liaodong Wei Institute, after the old slave Nurhachi raised troops, the Tong family collectively rebelled, and after being recognized by the new master, the Tong family's status in the Han army became more and more prominent. Huang Taiji for the first time in Songjin after the setback, suffered a big loss he returned to Liaodong to concentrate on casting cannons, Tiancong five years, the first Hongyi cannon "Tianyou cheering general" of the Dajin country, is from the chief military officer Tong Yang under the hand, since then, with the advantage of artillery this technical branch, the Han military flag in Liaodong has been more and more reused, until the eighth year of Tiancong, the official establishment of the eight banners of Han soldiers.
On the contrary, the Tong family stranded in Daming was not so lucky, the imperial court cracked down on the Tong family, and the Tong family in Liaodong was almost wiped out in the territory of Daming. Tong Yangjia changed his surname and changed his name, fled into the pass, and asked for an errand in charge of salt and salary under Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, and after the Qing soldiers broke through the pass and went south, he immediately resumed his name and served under his banner, and was reused, and followed the army to Fujian.
For the Qing court's reuse of the Liao, Li Chengdong was not happy in his heart, when he won Fujian, he captured and killed Longwu without seeing the reward, and now he has parachuted a top boss, and his official position has changed from the original governor of Jiangnan to the governor of Guangdong, and the official position seems to have been raised by two levels, but the status of the governor of Jiangnan is not comparable to that of a first-class military attaché at all. Obviously, he was secretly demoted by Mingsheng, which made him dissatisfied at the same time, and at the same time, he felt a bit like a rabbit and a dog.
Now after being reminded by Shi Fuyi, he was a little hesitant, and his tone gradually eased: "How can the blood war consume vitality in this town? The organs are exhausted, but they are all in vain, and they have to fight for it! Although our casualties are large, the casualties are not small. This town has already received a spy report, and the puppet Ming army in Wuzhou City can only be defeated by Jiao Lian's three or four thousand foot cavalry, and the rest are all low-level surrendered troops, so there is no need to worry. After days of bloody battles, the Jiao Lian Department also suffered heavy casualties, and now it depends on who has stronger resilience and holds on longer, as long as we break through a little, we can break the city. ”
