It has been two months since Wu Sangui arrived under the city of Baoding, and the Spring Festival of the tenth year of Kangxi has passed, and the Wu army is still blocked under the city of Baoding, but the Qiongzhou army attacking on the eastern front has attacked the city and seized the land all the way, and went north along the canal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Kong Yuqi, the prince of Yansheng, took the gentry of Qufu to control the officials, white servants, catchers and people who were defending the city, opened the city gate, and offered the city to the Qiongzhou army.

Wang Yu, who was riding a pure white tall horse, wore a black gauze winged crown, a dark yellow python robe, and three long whiskers flowing on his white face, which looked extremely majestic. Wang Yu's pro-soldiers were all wearing big red flying fish suits, wingless black gauze hats, embroidered spring knives hanging on the left waist, six-round rifled thunderbolt short guns hanging on the right waist, and some of the pro-soldiers also carried a new rear-loading rifled gun on their backs, and each pro-soldier rode a jujube red horse.

The dress of the pro-soldier is the dress of the Jinyi Guard, of course, this is the permission of the Great Tomorrow, Wang Yu saved Yongli and made meritorious contributions, and laid down the entire south, supported the anti-Qing forces in various places, eliminated Shang Kexi, rebelled against Geng Jingzhong, forced Wu Sangui, and was already in power, even Yongli did not dare to come to Nanjing to settle in the Forbidden City of Yingtianfu, but ran north with Wu Sangui.

Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi bowed his knees, and the Qufu gentry and Kong disciples behind him also knelt on the ground together.

"Get up!" Wang Yu was in a very good mood, and when he spoke, the horsewhip pointed to the north, "With the Holy Duke of Yan as a model, the people in the world have responded, and the fall of the Tartar puppet dynasty in the north is imminent!" ”

……

Under the city of Baoding, Wu Sangui can be said to have tried all methods, from the most basic ant-attached siege to the siege of large ladder vehicles, digging tunnels and blasting, artillery bombardment of the city gates, concentrated firepower bombardment of the city wall and other methods, all of which were cracked by the Qing army one by one.

The ants attached to the siege of the city, by the Qing army at the head of the city rolling wood and stones, wolf tooth slap, yaksha beating, lime bottle blows, the Qing army pushed open the ladder on the head of the city with a wooden pole, plus the feather arrows and bullets shot in the fortress on both sides, one after another the ladder was broken, or fell, and the corpses of the Wu army under the city were piled up.

The large ladder car attacked the city, and the Qing army concentrated the bow and arrow bird gun shooting in the direction pushed by the large ladder car, especially in the forts on both sides, and the firepower shot from the side made the Wu army on the ladder car suffer heavy casualties. Bahai also collected the few rifled guns in the Qing army, arranged them in the two wings of the forts, and concentrated their fire on the ladder trucks.

The baffles on both sides of the ladder car, coupled with the armor on Sergeant Wu's body, could not stop the rifled gun bullets fired at close range. The bows and arrows shot from the tops of the two wings of the bastions killed and wounded the auxiliaries of the carts.

The large ladder cart approached the city wall, and as soon as it approached it, rows of oil canisters were smashed down at the head of the city, and torches were thrown from the city with a whirl, igniting the ladder cart.

The Wu soldiers in the car had just jumped into the city, and were immediately surrounded by the superior forces of the Qing army. The Wu army that climbed to the top of the city was annihilated by the encirclement, the ladder car was burned, and the follow-up troops behind could not keep up, and the attack lasted for two days, and Wu Sangui spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build 20 large ladder cars were all burned, and more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers were also damaged.

Wu Sangui dug tunnels again, trying to attack the city by digging tunnels and blasting.

Ba Hai dug a three-foot-deep pit in a row of buildings behind the city wall, buried it in an empty water tank, recruited a group of blind people, and listened to the sound every day to judge the direction of the tunnel dug by Wu Jun. Because the Wu army dug the tunnel to bomb the city with gunpowder, rather than digging the tunnel into the city, the original method of digging a trench in the city to block and flood the tunnel was no longer advisable, but Bahai had his own way: after finding the direction of the Wu army's tunnel, the Qing army in the city also dug the tunnel to cut off the Wu army's tunnel. The Qing army moved the Franc machine into the tunnel, and when the Wu army dug the tunnel, they bombarded it with artillery.

In the narrow tunnel, the Wu army who was working had nowhere to hide, and a large number of casualties were immediately killed and wounded. The Qing army pulled the bellows and poured smoke into the tunnel, and it was the smoke that ignited the chili peppers!

Now the chili pepper has been popularized, in the previous several offensive and defensive battles, the Qing army has suffered many times the Qiongzhou army ignited the big loss of chili pepper, and now the Qing army moved this trick to deal with the Wu army, and the smoke smoked into the tunnel, and the Wu army was smoked out. Then the Qing army moved and destroyed the tunnel dug by the Wu army.

Wu Sangui ordered another to concentrate artillery fire to open the city gate and then rush into the city. However, the Wu army rushed into the urn city, and the Qing army lowered the jack gate in the city gate, turning the Wu army that rushed into the urn into a turtle in the urn, and the more than 500 Wu troops who rushed into the urn city were all annihilated.

The Wu army concentrated artillery fire to bombard the city wall, but the Baoding city wall was extremely strong, the Wu army consumed a lot of gunpowder, and finally collapsed a section of the city wall, Bahai built a stone city wall in it, and pulled up the city wall on both sides, formed a small urn city in the gap, blocked the Wu army that rushed into from the gap, and the city head on both sides was more than one zhang high and constantly threw rolling wood and stones, shot down random arrows and projectiles, and the Wu army that rushed into the gap was annihilated.

All kinds of siege methods were defused by the Qing army, and Wu Sangui had no choice but to order the auxiliary soldiers to push the chariot to the city, and the auxiliary soldiers hid in the chariot to work, trying to dig a hole under the city wall and bury gunpowder to blow up the city wall.

It is a pity that the city wall of Baoding is built of stone and glutinous rice pulp, and it is difficult to dig up the heavy long stones with manpower alone. When the Wu army was digging under the city, the city head kept throwing oil cans to ignite the carts, and threw lime bottles and 10,000 enemies, killing and injuring a large number of Wu army auxiliaries working under the city. Eventually, the cart was burned down, and the Wu army was unable to dig a hole where gunpowder could be placed.

Of course, under the fierce offensive of the Wu army, the Qing army was not without casualties, on the contrary, the casualties of the Qing army were extremely large, and the Wu army concentrated artillery, rifled guns, smoothbore guns, bows and arrows to shoot at the head of the city, and even fired rockets at the head of the city, causing a large number of casualties among the Qing soldiers defending the city. The Wu army, who occasionally climbed to the top of the city, also hacked to death many Qing army auxiliaries and people before being killed.

The casualties of the Wu army were twice that of the Qing army, and the number of the Wu army was less than that of the Qing army, and it was completely dependent on the elite of the Qing army, and the morale was higher than that of the Qing army, so that they could win again and again.

"It's been two months of attacking! The Southern Kings have already entered Shandong! We are still under the city of Baoding! Wu Sangui in the Chinese military tent jumped like thunder, "How many people have we killed and wounded, and we can't take the broken city in front!" ”

The generals in the middle of the Wu military tent knelt down one after another: "The prince is angry!" The last general will definitely capture Baoding within half a month! ”

"Half a month?" Wu Sangui sneered, "It's been two months since I attacked!" Is there any progress? Half a month? Hum! Easier said than done! ”

Liu Xuanchu stepped forward and said: "Dashuai, the students have a way, they will definitely be able to conquer Baoding!" ”

"What's the solution?" Wu Sangui was overjoyed.
