The intensity of the artillery battle density of the Fat Army, even if it was replaced by the southwest battlefield where the main force of the Wu army and the main force of the Qing army fought before, it was also a super-first-class top level, and it was only in the Battle of Anshun, the Battle of Wuchang, the Battle of Luoshan and the Battle of Jingzhou and other decisive battlefields that were related to Wuyun that similar artillery battle intensity could be seen, and other medium and large battles never invested so many artillery, let alone blasted out such a large number of shells. [No pop-up novel network]

Even the few veterans in the Hangzhou garrison have never seen the spectacular scene of hundreds of artillery shelling against a section of the city wall, let alone experienced what is called the real iron fire hell, what is called the bullet falling into the rain, and the cannon cracking the sky!

I saw the roar of the artillery of the Fat Army, and felt the rock-solid city wall trembling slightly in the explosion, and saw the comrades in the artillery fire one after another, the flesh and blood were raging, and from time to time there was a shell exploding nearby, the strong wind knocked you down, and the loud noise shook your ears to the point that the ear canal bleed, and no one could stand it.

Under the nervous and frightened, whether it was Li Zhifang, Tula, Bayar and Shi Tiaosheng and other middle and senior generals of the Qing army, or the supervision team, grassroots generals and ordinary soldiers, all of them lost the determination to fight the fat army to the end, and they all hid under the dead corners of the city wall with trepidation, lying behind the arrow battlements, squeezing into the sardine-like urn city hiding cave, trembling with colorless faces, and whispering to discuss how to escape and save their lives. Unable to muster up the courage to hold on to the city, the Fat Army infantry swaggered outside the city to fill the moat and open the siege passage.

It wasn't until it was dark that the artillery of the Fat Army gradually sparsed down, but the infantry of the Fat Army under the city were still filling the moat back and forth, estimating that Li Zhifang and Tula, who couldn't see the target clearly at night and refused to shoot, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly commanded the army to go back to the city, shooting and firing arrows to stop the Fat Army from filling the river, but it was too dark to see the target clearly, and the effect was really not great.

Forced to be helpless, Tula ordered the soldiers to venture out of the city to point the jue hole on the city wall, but no soldier dared to go out of the city, so he could only use a rope to hang the soldiers to light the fire, but it was also at this time that the Qing army found that the jue hole on the city wall in this area had basically been bombarded by the fat army artillery, and could not be plugged in. As a result, as soon as the firewood pile was halfway pointed, the shells of the Fat Army smashed into their heads and faces, killing dozens of Qing soldiers, and also bombarding all the Qing soldiers on the city wall to the ground, and this plan was useless.

In order to prevent the Fat Army from filling the river, Li Zhifang, Tula and others planned to use the cover of night to send a team of dead soldiers out of the city to assault, and even planned to send an army to attack the artillery positions of the Fat Army, and also used a lot of money to recruit a team of more than 600 dead soldiers. However, when this death squad quietly touched out of the city gate with the fire-burning thing, the drawbridge had just been lowered, and hundreds of rockets flew in the darkness on the opposite side, blowing up the death squad in one go, and by the way, it also killed and injured many Qing soldiers in the city gate, and the Qing army's night attack plan also failed, and Li Zhifang, Tula and others spent more money and could no longer recruit dead soldiers who dared to go out of the city for night attacks.

"Listen to the dogs in the city!" What's even more infuriating is that the fat man army blew up the Qing army's night attack with a rocket, not to mention, but also scolded and ridiculed: "Playing night attack, you are our grandchildren in the sky!" I don't want to inquire, when we fought Wuchang and Jingzhou, did we fight at night or during the day! ”

"General Tu, Wu Gou is very well prepared, we are not sure that we should not waste our troops." Li Zhifang said helplessly to Tula: "The difference between the current army in our hands and the Wu Dog army is too big, whether it is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers or the weapons and equipment, it is far from catching up with Wu Gou. ”

Tula coughed and didn't speak, and sighed for a while, "That's all, prepare more weapons to defend the city, and prepare to fight with Wu Gou, fortunately, the city wall of Hangzhou is strong, which can offset the combat power of many Wu dogs." ”

Relying on the joint help of the Fat Army's artillery and the Qing Army, the Fat Army's infantry river reclamation work went very smoothly, and it took only one night, the new general Cheng Long basically completed the task assigned by Lu Fatzi at a very small cost, Lu Fatzi was very happy, and praised Cheng Long, but in view of the fact that the siege weapons of the Fat Army were not yet ready, Lu Fatzi did not launch an attack on the 27th, but only rewarded Cheng Long and the soldiers who filled the river, and changed a group of soldiers to Cheng Long, so that he could continue to be responsible for filling the river. Expand the attack surface of the siege weapons of the Fat Army as much as possible, and let Qin Yong continue to cover Cheng Long's troops with artillery, continue to use artillery to consume the Qing army's defending forces, and hit the morale of the Qing army's defenders.

In this way, the situation of the next day was almost the same as the first day, the artillery of the Fat Army continued to bombard the city, and the infantry of the Fat Army continued to fill the river, the only difference was to provide fire assistance to the main force when attacking the city, and the Fat Army artillery team deliberately reduced some of the fire intensity in order to save ammunition. At the same time, in view of the situation that the Qing defenders went out of the city to attack the city in the first night, Lu Fatzi concluded that the Qing army did not block the city gate, so he rushed to build some three-good explosive packs, ready to be used to blow up the city gate.

Another day passed, when the fat army rushed to build more than 1,500 flying ladders, assembled 20 ladders and 10 crash cars, and filled in the river section of about five miles long outside the Wulin Gate, Lu Fatzi decisively decided to launch a siege, sent Wang Xu to lead an army of 6,000 to attack Qiantang Gate, and personally led the main force to attack Wulin Gate. It was also at this time that Han Yuanren also took the head of Lao Wenliang of Deqing Zhixian County to lead the rear army to Hangzhou, and reported the good news that he had broken Deqing in a battle and killed Lao Wenliang's family.

In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and October 27 of the thirteenth year of the mite Qingkang Mazi, after giving the whole army a full meal in the morning, the fat army poured out of the nest and drove to the Qiantang Gate and Wulin Gate in Hangzhou respectively. Hearing the news, Li Zhifang and Tula, the guards in Hangzhou, immediately understood that the decisive moment of life and death had finally arrived, and they hurriedly made deployments, letting the deputy capital Bayar go to guard the Qiantang Gate, and the remaining eight gates were also guarded by their own henchmen, Li Zhifang and Tula both sat in the main battlefield Wulin Gate, leading the 4,000 defenders deployed here and tens of thousands of militia to defend to meet the siege army of Lu Fatzi.

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, the fat army set up a siege formation four miles outside the Wulin Gate, Lu Fatzi first ordered the messenger to play a white flag to the city to surrender, saying that he would surrender and not kill and reiterate the fat army's four killing orders, the defenders of the city shot arrows indiscriminately, and the fat army messenger fled back with injuries, Lu Fatzi was furious, and immediately ordered Qin Yong to open the cannon, leaving only a thousand shells for attacking Hangzhou Mites, and the rest of the shells were all gone! Qin Yong followed the order, and one hundred and fifty light and heavy artillery guns opened fire together, aiming at the defenders of the city and bombarding them, and the Wulin Gate was once again shrouded in the smoke of artillery fire.

The earth-shaking artillery bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, and by the time the fat army finished bombarding the last flowering shell, the martial arts gate had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and there was no longer a standing Qing soldier and a Qing army banner that could be set up on the city. The first soldier to enter the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! ”

"Big Zhou! Big week! Big week! In the rhythmic slogan, the archers and muskets of the Fat Army marched first with long shields, and the brave general Han Yuan led 3,000 infantry to push the ladder to charge the city cart, carrying more than 200 flying ladders, and then another team of fat army engineers followed with a wheelbarrow pushing explosives bags, looking for an opportunity to blow up the relatively fragile wooden city gate. At the same time, the sound of gong alarms and shouts also sounded on the city wall of Hangzhou, and the Qing soldiers who were hiding under the city to avoid the cannon ran up the city wall in a disorderly manner, shouting and shouting to tidy up the forts and prepare muskets, bows and arrows, and carry the materials for defending the city.

When the siege team of the Fat Army entered the city wall for two miles, the remaining dozen or so artillery pieces on the city of the Qing Army were the first to fire, and a salvo fired more than a dozen shells, but I don't know whether it was the lack of training of the Qing gunners or the panic did not aim carefully, only one of the dozen shells entered the Fat Army team, and the rest all failed, and finally hit the cannon or it was just a solid cannonball, and only one Fat Army soldier fell to the ground when it landed, and even the ricochet was not formed. When Li Zhifang, Tula and others scolded the gunners for their incompetence, the fat army had already launched a charge.

"Da Zhou-!" In the roar, the archers and musketeers of the Fat Army first rushed to the filled moat, and formed dozens of temporary fortifications with long shields, hiding behind the shields and shooting arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the well-trained infantry of the Fat Army pushed the second team of large ladders to rush up, and the rockets on the city rushed to burn the ladders, but it was a pity that the ladders of the Fat Army had long been coated with plaster to resist the flames, and the effect was not very large, and Li Zhifang, who was still a little military talent, hurriedly ordered the Qing soldiers to change the fire oil and splash it, but the ladder car of the Fat Army had crossed the moat that had been filled up before, pulled up the ladder and hooked the city wall, and the soldiers of the Fat Army behind raised their shields and rushed up.

At the same time, the infantry of the Fat Army carrying the light flying ladder also began to charge at full speed, putting one after another flying ladder on the city wall, countless soldiers climbed the ladder, and the city was smashed down like rolling stones and wood hailstones, which caused some casualties to the infantry of the Fat Army, and the experienced soldiers of the Fat Army were flexibly dodging while climbing quickly, and the Fat Army musketeers and archers behind the long shield were also desperately shooting and firing arrows to cover the siege infantry of the Fat Army.

"Boom! Bang! A new explosion came, and the fat soldiers on the ladder had already thrown out countless grenades before they had time to rush to the city wall, which made the Qing soldiers in the city cry wolf and howl, hugging their heads and running around, and the fat soldiers took the opportunity to step on the ladder and charge.

Relying on the stimulation of rich experience and heavy rewards, soon, the first batch of fat soldiers rushed to the city wall, and the veteran of the Qing army, Tula, regardless of his serious illness, personally led the dead soldiers to rush to the rescue, and started hand-to-hand combat with the fat soldiers who climbed the city wall; Li Zhifang also commanded the defenders to desperately attack the ladder car of the Fat Army, which was the most dangerous, shelling oil, splashing rockets, shooting stones, and doing everything, and the ladders of the Fat Army began to catch fire and shatter. The city and the city shouted to kill the heavens, arrows and guns came and went like locusts, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Wu Yonghua's second team, Hutongchun's third team!" Seeing Han Yuanren's team kill under the city, Lu Fatzi was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly put down the binoculars and shouted: "Wu Yonghua stepped forward directly to respond, try to lengthen the attack surface, and disperse the dog defenders. Hutong spring to the front of the battle two miles away, you can attack with a camera! ”

"Order!" Wu Yonghua and Hutong Chun two generals hugged their fists and agreed, each rushed down, leading the headquarters of the people to attack, when Lu Fatzi watched them leave, he suddenly saw his little pepper fiancée Huang Xifeng dodging in the distance, it seemed that he wanted to come over but did not dare to approach, Lu Fatzi smiled, beckoned to Little Pepper, Little Pepper understood, and quickly rushed over like a gust of wind, and without saying a word in front of him, he jumped directly on Lu Fatzi's fat legs and sat down, hugged Lu Fatzi's fat neck, and came to Lu Fatman's face, Exhaled like a coquettish voice, she said: "Xianggong, I quietly came to see how you fight, don't blame me, okay?" ”

"Why not blame?" Fat Lu pinched her tender little face, and said with a straight face: "If you are disobedient to wait in the camp, it must be that your little butt is itching again, and I will clean you up after this battle." ”

"Don't, Xianggong, you spare me, I just want to come and take a look." Pepper clutched her crescent-like ass and pleaded. Seeing Fat Lu smiling, Little Pepper suddenly understood that Fat Lu was just intimidating, so he quickly buried himself in Fat Lu's arms and sprinkled coquettishly, and asked curiously: "Xianggong, can you take Hangzhou City like this?" How is it different from the stage? The generals on the stage attacked the city, and they all rushed up with big swords? ”

"Rush up with a big knife yourself? Do you think this is singing? Lu Fatzi pinched her little face again, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, no one in the boss personally went into battle during the siege, you let me personally take the big knife into battle, do you want to be a widow and remarry?" ”

"No, no." Xiao Pepper shook his head quickly, leaned into Lu Fatzi's ear again, and said sweetly: "With such a good and majestic husband, I will never remarry, I will only marry you." Fat Lu smiled, he was very proud of his extraordinary charm, and even Xiao Lili couldn't resist it! I didn't think about Xiao Pepper's next words, but it made Lu Fatzi's jaw almost fall to the ground, and Xiao Pepper said sweetly: "Xianggong, when you enter Hangzhou City and see my father, we will immediately worship the church and the round house, okay?" I want to be your wife right away. ”

"Rounding out the house right away? Do you know what a roundhouse is? You'll turn 11 next month, okay? Fat Lu almost vomited blood, but after looking at Little Pepper's moving face, at her delicate body with small but no organs, and at smelling the sweet fragrance of milk and strawberries on her body, Fat Lu actually reacted a little, "Round the house immediately?" Is it possible to consider ......? ”

"Xianggong, why are you holding a stick against me?" Little Pepper asked suspiciously, and Fat Lu was startled, so he quickly collected his mind, covered Little Pepper's dangerous little mouth that didn't know the severity of it, and shifted his attention to the distant battlefield of the city wall.

At this time, the second wave of the Fat Army's siege team, Wu Yonghua's team, was about to rush to the city of Hangzhou, and Han Yuanren's side had all been put into the battlefield, at least more than 100 Fat Army soldiers had also rushed to the city wall, and were fighting with the Qing soldiers on the city wall.

Most of the twenty ladder trucks arranged by the Fat Army on the side of Wulinmen have caught fire, and the momentum of charging up to the city has been forced to weaken, but fortunately, it can be clearly seen that the morale and fighting spirit of these Qing defenders in Hangzhou are very low, although there are not many soldiers on the city wall, but they also firmly control a city wall position, so that the follow-up soldiers of the Fat Army can continue to climb the city wall and gradually expand the control area. But the Qing army was not tied down, several teams were rushing to kill in despair, preventing the fat army soldiers from landing in the city, and at the same time, Genshan Gate and Qingchun Gate were crowded, and one team after another rushed to the Wulin Gate for reinforcements.

The siege battle has reached this point, the outcome is still unpredictable, although the fat army may break the city, but it is also possible to be driven down the city wall by the Qing army; Although the situation on the side of the Qing army is critical, as long as the soldiers use their lives, dare to fight and kill, dare to show the courage to die together, it is not difficult to kill all the more than 100 soldiers of the Fat Army who have already landed in the city and lay down the city wall.

"Intensify the beating of the drums and encourage the soldiers to rush and kill." Lu Fatzi turned around and ordered, the order was conveyed, and the more than 200 cowhide war drums that were already beating the earth were even more shaking, but the battle ahead was still stalemate, although Wu Yonghua's team opened some attack surfaces to disperse the defenders, the Qing army sent more soldiers to block the attack, and the shadows of ordinary people could be vaguely seen, it was obvious that the Qing army was already mobilizing the people to participate in the war.

"Owner, why didn't we do it when we infiltrated the city in advance?" Seeing this scene, Wang Shaobo was inevitably anxious, "We have almost finished all the ammunition today, if we can't take Hangzhou City in this battle, let alone think about the next siege." ”

Lu Fatzi remained silent and did not speak, Yao Qisheng took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Young Uncle, General, please rest assured, as long as the puppy is not recognized and does not die in the hands of the dog, there will definitely be a move, please wait patiently." ”

"I believe so." Lu Fatzi finally spoke, and said easily: "See, our sappers have already touched the edge of the city gate, and are piling explosive bags there, and the deadlock will be broken by igniting and blowing up the city gate in a while." ”

"But even if the city gate is blown open, there is still a gate of the urn city inside!" Wang Shaobo reminded again.

"Boss, look!" Zhu Fangdan, who finally got up from the bed, yelled, "Look at the city, the city is on fire!" And not just in one place! ”

Lu Fatzi, Wang Shaobo and others looked up in surprise, took a closer look at the situation in Hangzhou, and found that the city of Hangzhou was indeed full of fire, thick smoke rushed to the sky, and the Qing army defenders in the city were also suddenly in chaos. Yao Qisheng nodded confidently and said: "The little dog did it, it seems that after the little dog mixed into the city full of dog defeated soldiers, he was not arranged to defend the city in the city, and was arranged to patrol the streets in the city, so he could only set fire to our army everywhere in the city." ”

"Mr. Yao, this is the first time you have called yourself our army, it seems that you really want to join our Great Zhou army." The attentive Fat Lu laughed, and Yao Qisheng also noticed that his tone had changed, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Xianggong, what does the fire in the city have to do with your siege? Why are you so happy? Little Pepper, who was sitting on Fat Lu's lap, asked suspiciously.

"Silly girl, there is a sudden fire in the city, can the full dogs in the city not panic?" Fat Lu pinched Little Pepper's little face again, and smiled: "The dog is full of panic, can you not mess up?" The dog is flustered, won't your father-in-law's army have a chance? ”

"Oh, I see." Little Pepper nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly cried with a beautiful little face, and said very nervously: "God bless, don't burn my family's property!" Six of my family's eleven restaurants have just been renovated, and my family's silk and satin village, cloth village and money village will be even worse if they are burned. ”

Note: Jue Cave is a kind of ancient city wall fortification, the role is to plug in torch lighting, concentrate the light below the city wall, to prevent the enemy from sneak attack at night, and at the same time not to shake the eyes of the defenders on the city, but the specific structure and location are now lost.
