The sky above the county seat of Huangpi was covered by the roar of cannons like thunder. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the fifth artillery battalion appeared on the Huangpi battlefield, the life of the Sichuan army has been worse day by day. Ma Mingxun asked Ali Gon for help many times, and Ali Gon also understood that there had been a new change in the battle situation in Huangpi, Ma Mingxun was not 'falsely reporting the military situation', but what Huang Pi was waiting for was only one or two thousand people sent by Zhu Qi, what is the matter? And Zhu Jue himself did not enter Huangpi, is he the minister of regimental training in Hubei, and continues to sit in Hanyang Mansion to raise people's courage and food. Ma Mingxun wanted to spit on him, but when he entered Hubei, he still had great respect for Zhu Jue. This is the seventeen-year-old Zhongjin Shi's high talent, and his brother Zhu Yun and his brother Zhu Yun are double Hanlin. But looking at it now, readers also have a mouthful of kung fu. When it comes to national disaster, it depends on a military minister like him.

"Junmen, Chen Rei's men and horses are pouring up again. Zhang Zhentai couldn't support it......"

"If you can't support it, you will retreat and tell Zhang Yidong to push the Hubei militia up. In the evening we will retire ......."

Ma Mingxun looked at the sun in the western sky, it would be dark in another hour, and he would take the opportunity to leave when the time came. Ma Mingxun didn't make up his mind to retreat last night, and today he fought hard all day, and the count of the soldiers who lost made him feel like a knife.

The artillery of the Fu Han army completely suppressed the artillery fire in the city. Its soldiers also filled out a flat road with sandbags and dirt bags on the battlefield with potholes and ravines, pushed the shield carts one by one to the front of the Sichuan soldiers, and the flying thunder cannons of the Fu Han army moved to the front line. Moreover, in addition to the flying thunder cannon, Chen Weijun also had a small cannon with curved shells, which fired quite fast, and all the shells fired were flowering shells. The Fu Han army also had special bombardiers, and the accuracy and distance of throwing grenades were much stronger than those of the Sichuan soldiers. Let the advantages of the Huangpi defenders be lost!

What did Ma Mingxun rely on to block the attacks of the Fu Han army again and again?

The cannons in the city, the small cannons in front of the battle, and the deep trenches that penetrate the underground communication lines in front and behind. There are boxes of grenades, even if it is just the simplest open-flame grenade, more than 10,000 Sichuan soldiers have steadily defended Huangpi County.

At that time, the Fu Han army also had flying thunder cannons and small cannons that could shoot flower shells, but they couldn't move in front of the battle at all. The surrounding area of Huangpi County was covered by the big pits and deep ditches dug by the Sichuan army, and under the cover of artillery in the city, the Fu Han army just filled in those deep ditches and bulldozed those mounds, and it was enough time to waste. How fast must the shield carts be moving in such a bad position? At such a slow speed, the cupola and sub-mother cannons on the Qing army's array are all eating white rice? There were also one or twenty cannons behind them, which were specially used to suppress the large forces of the Fu Han army.

And the sub-mother cannon on the array, this kind of artillery that almost disappeared in the sequence of the Qing army, has now been more and more equipped in the Qing army because of its light weight and super maneuverability - one person can carry it away, plus a fast rate of fire. Coupled with the large-caliber lifting guns made by the Qing army, the shield truck is very powerful.

It is also because there are a lot of sub-cannons and large-caliber guns in the Qing army sequence, and even if the fifth artillery battalion of the Fu Han army completely suppressed the Qing artillery in the city, those shield carts also wasted a lot of effort to push the front of the position.

Anyway, Ma Mingxun's defensive battle in Huangpi surprised Chen Ming very much, and he was shocked by the speed with which the Qing army learned lessons and summed up experience. No longer pursuing pure array battles, nor talking about face, digging tunnels, throwing grenades, suppressing large enemy forces with artillery, and using small cannons to deal with shield vehicles, he learned enough methods of defensive warfare for the Han army on the battlefield in Henan. If the Fu Han army can't suppress the Qing army in artillery firepower, or if there is a shortage of gunpowder reserves in the future, then this method will really be very effective.

Before dark, the Fu Han army broke through the west gate of Huangpi County, and the Qing army and the people organized street battles. The Fu Han army already had some experience in street fighting, throwing grenades and bombarding buildings with small artillery. The sub-guns left on the position by the Qing army were all moved by the Fu Han army, but unfortunately the troops who attacked the city used grenades and small cannons to demolish two rows of houses, and the drums and trumpets of the withdrawal of troops sounded in the rear.

It's getting dark.

The Fu Han army is now fully superior, and Chen Yongsheng is unwilling to fight to the death with the Sichuan army in the black light. Even though there were many main battalion officers in front of the army who were asking Chen Yongsheng to fight, they were really aggrieved in this battle of Huangpi, and they couldn't do it with the strength. I want to beat the water dogs, and take this opportunity to teach the Sichuan soldiers how to behave. Chen Yongsheng firmly gave no, no matter how thick your iron armor is, can it block the grenade? The general trend of the Sichuan soldiers has gone, and the campaign of the Fu Han army in Hubei has just begun, and he is distressed by the death of one more main battalion soldier. Although Chen Yongsheng knew that he ordered a retreat at this time to give the Sichuan soldiers in the city a chance to breathe.

The next day, the cannon roared, but it echoed in Huangpi City, accompanied by the roar of the collapsed face of the house, at the east gate of the collapsed section of the city wall, a group of red-clothed soldiers like the stars and the moon, escorting Chen Yongsheng's not tall figure to step on the pile of bricks and ruins.

Last night, the Sichuan soldiers ran away. But it didn't run away completely, and some of it was blocked back to Huangpi County.

Most of the ruins in the east gate have been cleaned up, but it is still difficult to walk up, Chen Yongsheng is still wearing leather boots on his feet, and he has to hit his feet several times. From the ruins to the broken east gate, there were patches of purple-black-brown blood stains on the steps of the building, and a strong smell of corpses and bloody smell could not be covered.

However, these smells had no effect on Chen Yongsheng at all. From the killing in Henan to the present, what kind of tragic scene have you not seen? When he was fighting in the summer, in the mountains and valleys outside Jiujiang City, every time the war ended, he could see the rotting and deteriorating corpses, countless white maggots in the broken belly, braincase drilling and rolling, and some corpses had swollen bellies like pregnant women in October, and they were full of yellow-brown corpse water.

In spring, summer and autumn, the fighting between the Jiujiang and Hukou mountains was over, and hundreds of truckloads of quicklime were used to splash the position and the surface after each time, and there were also two small-scale epidemics, which damaged the small 100 defenders of Jiujiang.

"Already cornered, are they still unwilling to surrender?"

"In this city, there are not only Sichuan soldiers who resist, but also Minyong, who have been bewitched by the Tartars and have a strong fighting spirit." The officer next to him paused, and then said: "These people are more loyal to the Manchus than the Sichuan soldiers. Even the Sichuan soldiers who mixed with them did not dare to surrender. ”

Hubei's Lian Yong is still a little different from the Lian Yong militia in Jiangnan, and in Hubei, most of the people who come forward to organize the Lian Yong militia are the homes of official eunuchs. Those ordinary gentry, gentry, and landlords are strong, but they have sent food and silver to these official eunuchs, but very few of them have come forward to show their faces. Those eunuch families either had a blood feud with the Fu Han army, or they had children who were officials in Beijing outside, and their loyalty to the Tartars was quite high.

Chen Yongsheng stood on the dilapidated city tower, raising his eyes to look at the situation in the city, and what he could see was the collapsed houses in the city. The Qing soldiers and the people bravely defended the alleys, but the Han army threw grenades and pushed small artillery bombardments, where flesh and blood could resist.

There are not a few corpses on the east-west avenue in Huangpi County, but some small alleys are densely covered with broken sacks. That's not just the Qing soldiers and the people's bravery, there should also be the people of Huangpi who took the initiative or were taken the initiative to come to the intersection.

"Then let's kill like this. There is always a time when you can kill the light and kill the soft. Chen Yongsheng's eyes swept over the county seat of Huangpi and looked farther to the west. The footsteps of the Fu Han army will not only stay in Huangpi, the governor of the capital has already sent a military order, before he led the army to Huangzhou, he wanted to lead the troops to take the city of Hanyang, and seize the Wusheng Pass in the territory of De'an Mansion, and the Jiuli Pass in the east of Wusheng Pass, and the Pingjing Pass in the west, these three passes are collectively called Yiyang (Xinyang) three passes, which have been military passes in the past dynasties, and the north and south must rush.

"You say, if all the more than 1,000 Hubei militia groups trapped in Huangpi City die, and this matter is publicized, won't it be a great deterrent to Hubei Lianyong?"

"Do the people of Hubei still dare to participate in the Lianyong People's League?"

If you can't threaten the eunuch homes that organize the militia group, then threaten the people who join the militia. If the Fu Han army wants to seize the world, sooner or later it will repair the landlords and gentry. When the Fu Han Army called the king system, stipulating that the highest land rent in the world should not exceed one of the four, those landlords and squires are afraid that it will be higher, right?

Chen Yongsheng returned to the big tent and sat in his chair to remember some news leaked in Chen Ming's correspondence with him, if those news could really be issued in the form of government decrees in the future, the gentry and landlords in the world would hate the Fu Han army to death.

……

In the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army in Songjiang Prefecture completely occupied a large area east of Jiangyin, and the Qing army's naval division also captured Nantong Prefecture. This first battle was in Huangshan.

At the beginning, the Fu Han army erected dozens of cannons on Huangshan [Jiangyin Huangshan], and no one dared to easily break into it by the Qing army's naval divisions. The narrow river is only three miles away, and the cannons on the top of the hill can completely block the entire river. Moreover, the Fu Han army built five forts on Huangshan, and it is rumored that forty or fifty light and heavy artillery pieces were arranged.

In a very short period ......of time, two Qing naval warships that sailed into the blockade area of the Huangshan Fort fired four cannons at Huangshan. Four iron bullets smashed four puffs of dust and smoke on the Yellow Mountain.

The five forts of the Fu Han army on Huangshan were quiet, and the courage of the worried Guangdong sailors was enlarged, and the two warships approached Huangshan a little, and the gunners on the ships cleaned the barrels at the fastest speed in their lives, loaded gunpowder and iron bullets, and inserted them into the fire rope.

"Boom ......" was another four explosions......

On the warship of the Guangdong Navy Division in the distance, a group of commanders, deputy generals, and staff generals all stretched their necks to look at the Yellow Mountain, no cannon shot, and the mountain was still quiet, or no cannon fired.

"Zongzhen, you ...... say, could this be that Chen Yi escaped?"

The chief soldier sat on the boat, and a capital division said to the chief soldier. The two ships in front of this have fired two shots, and there is still no movement in the Huangshan Fort. It really makes him suspicious.

"Not really. There are dozens of cannons on the fort...... "The general soldier raised his binoculars again and looked at the fort on Huangshan. That's right, there's nothing wrong with a cannon glowing with cold light under your eyes.

"Send someone to inform Duan Junmen and ask him to send a team of people to see ......" (To be continued.) )
