Chapter 184: Ingenuity
Chinese After a night of fighting, the bones on both sides of Jingshui were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and the broken sword was discarded all over the beach. As a result of counting casualties on both sides, the Qing soldiers lost 4,000, the ****** lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and more than 6,000 people died before the battle alone.
As soon as he settled down, Tu Hai instructed his entourage: "Go in and tell Zhou Junmen that I will go to check on Hudun." He slaughtered a live deer brought by Mongolia and made up for him, and he was tired. Just then, Zhou Peigong came out from behind the tent and said with a smile: "I'm not a mother-in-law in confinement, where did I get so many problems?" If the general wants to go out to inspect, how dare Pei Gong be pampered here? Then they went out together. Liu Ming, the counselor of the Chinese army, was about to send his entourage to protect him, but Zhou Peigong smiled and said: "Lend ****** another gut, and he won't dare to go out of the city in vain." He will not have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in total now, will he come out to look for death? Tu Hai said: "It's better to have a heart, just bring these dozen or so pro-soldiers in front of you!" ”
The two rode around the city on horseback, and then came west along the north of the city to the bottom of the tiger pier. This tiger mound is just a mound from a distance, and if you look closely, you will know the danger of the end. For the convenience of the troops, around the "tiger" waist cut out a platform, under the pier and build a lot of stone holes, only by one end of the city gate there is a line of stone ladder straight to the peak of the tiger's head, there is a temple of half an acre of square circle on the top, there is a stone building on the north side, can echo with the city on the tun wall, just like a crouching tiger in the eyes of the majestic Liangliang.
"Pingliang City is really well repaired," Tu Hai sighed, "It's all big stones, I'm afraid that the red-clothed cannon won't be able to collapse it!" ”
Zhou Peigong didn't say anything for a while, only silently looked at Hudun, exhaled, and replied: "The north of this city is based on Liupan, and the south is the gateway to Gandong. If you can fight calmly, this city will not be difficult to take, and you will have to ****** hungry! ”
"How about burying gunpowder under this city and blowing up the city?" "Just blow up a gap." ”
"It's all sandy land, and the water surface of the moat is not frozen," Zhou Peigong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be possible to dig a tunnel, and no amount of gunpowder will be enough." ”
Tu Hai saw that Zhou Peigong was just looking at Hudun, so he smiled and said: "It seems that you still blindly want to fight Hudun, and you will set up artillery on top of the city to bombard the city." It's good to dare to be emotional, just look at the situation, there are no six or seven thousand dead and wounded, can you go up? ”
Zhou Peigong nodded and said, "Yes, you have to think of a perfect plan!" ”
At this moment, ****** heard that Tuhai and them were checking Hudun, and they also came with Gong Rongyu. This battle made him very miserable, and his blood capital was almost lost, and there were less than 7,000 troops in the city, plus the defenders on the tiger pier, but more than 9,000 people. Dutong Ma died in the chaos of the army, He Yuzhi took a remnant of the army and did not know where to flee, only Gong Rongyu was originally a guard of the Chinese army, although he was not a general, the soldiers were not injured, and the rest of the three thousand who fled into the city were all frightened birds, and it was rare to fight. Looking at Tuhai and Zhou Peigong pointing at the city as if no one was around, he was angry and hateful in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and whispered to Gong Rongyu: "Rongyu, that is your friend, he has made us so miserable!" Tuhai has never been this way of playing! - My hand injury is not good, your archery is not bad, come, take him and try your wolf tooth arrow! ”
Gong Rongyu slowly pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his waist, and his heart was really mixed. He looked at his arm, there was a scar on it, it was time to go down to the river with Zhou Peigong to fish, and he was bitten by Wang Ba. Now I'm going to shoot this guy who has touched the fish with an arrow. He came to the pheasant, quietly pulled the bow, Zhou Peigong pointed to himself Hu Dun was engrossed in what, with his archery technique, such a close distance, it is not difficult for an arrow to penetrate Zhou Peigong's heart, but his hand trembled violently, and after aiming for a long time, Fang "poofed" and let go of his right hand.
Zhou Peicheng is on the rise, where will he beware of cold arrows? Tu Hai is a battle-experienced person, hearing the whistling sound of arrows, he didn't have time to turn back, so he pushed Zhou Peigong violently, and he hurriedly dodged, only to see the arrow flying over like a meteor and hitting Zhou Peigong's right arm.
"Alas!" Zhou Peigong screamed, almost fell under the horse, looked back suddenly, and saw Gong Rongyu holding an empty bow and was stunned at the head of the city. Zhou Peigong closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and his right hand was pulled out suddenly, and the blood flowed like an infusion. Gong Rongyu's face was like dirt, and the bow in his hand was like a kite with a broken string floating down the city.
When he returned to Dazhai that night, Tuhai received an edict and a report from the Jingshi. Tuhai and Zhou Peigong performed three kneeling and nine bowing salutes, and when they were reading, one of them was Kangxi's edict that wrote:
Fuyuan General Tuhai, Fuyuan Senate General Zhou Peigong: The military report has been informed, and I am glad to know that Erqing Jinghe has won a great victory, and I am very excited. Today, Wu Sangui's thieves in Yuezhou have become increasingly poor. Recently, there was an urgent report that there were 10,000 rebel troops in Guizhou to help, and if this situation is successful, the Xiliang military will be stalemate again! I would like to record two triumphant songs, and I am still looking forward to reinvigorating Yu Wei and rushing to calm down. The country will not be stingy with the gift of the high lord!
There are two ancient poems below, and if you don't have time to look closely, you will read the newspaper. One is that Kong Sizhen returned to Beijing, and Kangxi was honored in the palace; One is that Li Guangdi wax pill book secretly reported the military situation in Fujian, and was ordered to file and discuss the affairs of the Ministry of Officials; One is that after Sun Yanling returned to the Qing Dynasty anyway, Wu Shicong lured him into military pay and was killed outside Guilin; The other is that Wu Shicong used Wang Shirong's letter to deceive and surrender, Fu Honglie was lured and killed, and the Ministry of Rites was ordered to plan to seal the title, and ordered the governors of various provinces to find out the whereabouts of Wang Rui and arrest Yunyun.
"When it comes to war, these are common things." Tu Hai saw that Zhou Peigong's face was blue and white, and he remembered his friendship with Fu Honglie, and he also felt unbearable heartache, and sighed and comforted: "In terms of the overall situation, this can only be regarded as a small matter...... can only sigh that Fu Honglie is loyal and virtuous, square and respectable, and he ended up like this......", and he actually shed tears.
"Wang Shirong," Zhou Peigong ignored Tu Hai's words, looked out of the tent, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself: "I've heard of the name for a long time, and I really want to see him!" His gaze returned to the candlelight.
The battle against Hudun was very hard, because the slope was steep, and the cavalry could not use it at all. Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong sat in charge of the battle, and a large battalion of sergeants attacked in turn, and they tried everything, but it didn't work. The army defending the city concentrated all the shotguns and rockets in the area of Hudun, but when they saw the attack on the pier, they responded with fierce fire, causing the soldiers to dodge at both ends. After fighting two, only the waist of the "tiger" was taken, and the loss of 2,000 soldiers was already lost.
"It's not going to help." Zhou Peigong looked at the two and saw some doorways, "If we fight for a long time, we will be trapped - calculate the time, Guizhou reinforcements will arrive within five days, and then the trouble will be big!" "I'll do it myself!" Tu Hai came up irritablely, stood up and was about to give an order, but was held down by Zhou Peigong's hands: "The style of play is not surprising, everyone is the same." If I go in person, I'll go first - I wonder if I can get a long bamboo pole here? ”
Tu Hai was stunned for a moment and said: "When I was patrolling the city, I saw some bamboos piled up in the timber yard outside the south gate, what do you want it to do?" Zhou Peigong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, general, Hudun can go down today!" ”
In the afternoon, everything was prepared. More than 700 long bamboo poles are wrapped in big quilts, poured with oil, not at the right time, an order, all lit, like 700 torches, each by four or five strong soldiers lifted, straight to the Hudun stone tower. Hundreds of soldiers below sucked up the oil with bamboo pumps and sprayed upwards vigorously...... The tiger mound became a mountain of flames in an instant.
Wang Jizhen couldn't imagine that Zhou Peigong would use this trick. This tiger head pier projectile place, there is nowhere to hide, the fire is thick and smoky like a person drilled in the furnace, when the water is poured, but it is not helpful at all, when the time moves, a large fireball rolls into the building, and the bottom is the oil that shoots up, the oil helps the fire, the fire fights the oil, and the whole stone building has been on fire. Some of the soldiers guarding the pier were burned into fireballs, rolling on the ground, and some jumped down with the fire. Wang Jizhen was also on fire, threw himself on the south wall of Hudun, and cried: "Daddy! Save me, save the children......" shouted, the fire had curled up his body......
Two hours later, Hudun fell into the hands of Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, and the corpses were cleaned up that night, and the red-clothed cannon was dragged onto Hudun. Looking at the stone tower in the bright light, the panorama of Pingliang City is in front of you. The tall superintendent's office stands in the west of the city, and the location of the grain depot, prison, and barracks is vividly visible. Tu Hai couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, from here, don't use cannons, you can cover the enemy formation with only bows and arrows, and you can use a ladder to enter the city!" Zhou Peigong squinted his eyes, supported his chin with his hand, and frowned: "The trapped beast is still fighting, although ****** is poor, I think that in a hurry, he will fight to the death." What's more, there are more than 40,000 people in the city, once the city is broken, then Kungang will be on fire, and the jade will be burned...... Alas! Tu Hai saw Zhou Peigong sighing and couldn't help laughing: "You want to be a bodhisattva again!" The Battle of Jinghe Beach and the Battle of Hudun killed so many people. Who are those dead ghosts looking for? ”
