After sending away the two prison masters, Li Yuanqing quickly threw himself into the front-line formation command. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the saying goes, 'I haven't seen pork, but I've seen pigs run'.

In later generations, although Li Yuanqing did not experience a real war, he knew a lot about the media's reports on foreign wars, a large number of film and television materials, including some technical analysis.

The most terrible threat of artillery fire is not a direct hit on a person, because this is very unlikely, but the threat of fragments from the shell.

At this time, the redcoat cannon is a solid bullet, so there is no such threat of fragments, but the bouncing force formed by this impact force should not be underestimated.

In later generations, some countries in Eastern Europe that were at war, their defense measures were not complicated, and the bunkers were covered with a large number of rubber tires and sand bags.

These things may seem inconspicuous, but when they are exposed to an explosion, they can absorb most of the power of explosions and fragments.

As for some poor countries in Africa, they can't afford rubber tires, so they can only use sand bags.

Including during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army did not have such developed defensive conditions, but the local method of sand and soil bags was equally effective.

At this time, the defensive structure of Fuzhou City itself was strong enough.

The city gate has long been sealed with bricks and stones, and the city walls have been damaged and defected in various places, but they have long been repaired and strengthened.

The thickness of the city wall itself is at least seven or eight meters.

Whether the red-clothed cannon is not the piercing guide~ bomb of the Mi army, Li Yuanqing is not afraid that they can directly blow up the city wall.

At this time, the most important thing to defend is the bouncing force damage generated by the cannonball itself, as well as to boost the morale of the army.

Soon, three rows of sandbag walls had been piled up on the head of the city, from the battlements in front, to the open space in the middle, and on the inside of the city wall, behind the three sandbag walls, there were left shelters that were more than one meter wide and could accommodate people.

In the camp of the Jin army on the opposite side, the commissioning of the red-coated cannon should be about to end, Li Yuanqing did not dare to slack off, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is hiding behind the sand bag." The sword and shield men were in the first row, the bird gunners were in the second row, and the pikemen were in the third row. Fast. ”

The pro-soldiers and heralds shouted loudly, and none of the soldiers dared to slack off, and entered the predetermined positions one after another.

Li Yuanqing leaned against the second row of the sandbag wall, his mind spinning rapidly.

Houjin had the help of a red-clothed cannon, and suddenly occupied the absolute initiative.

The walls were obstructed by bags of sand, and the space was suddenly reduced a lot, and the advantages of pikemen could not be brought into play.

This time, if they want to defend the city, they can only suppress the Houjin army under the city, and they must not be allowed to come up.

This kind of terrain cannot exert the advantage of the team, and the individual soldier quality of one's own soldiers cannot be compared with the elite warriors of the Houjin Army.

If you want to break the game, you can only grit your teeth and hold on.

Chen Zhong was also a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, why haven't you come yet?" ”

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled, "Big brother, don't worry. Huang Taiji should be more anxious than us. ”

At this time, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was more than an hour, and the sky was almost dark, and Huang Taiji must have wanted to use the deterrent power of the red-clothed cannon to open the gap in Fuzhou City and take the city before it got dark.

But the most terrifying thing is not that they rush up immediately, but the gap that they have waited for in the early stage.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was not too anxious, Chen Zhong also calmed down a little in his heart and clenched his fists tightly.

This is also the benefit of joint operations between the two armies.

At this critical time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can support each other and cheer each other on.

It's just that this is the relationship that the two have accumulated since the surprise attack on Zhenjiang, and if they are others, I am afraid it will be another form.

Li Yuanqing didn't wait too long, and after a while, the distance in the north was like a muffled thunder exploding, and "boom" one after another, six or seven swarthy unknown objects crossed a black parabola in the sky, and actually smashed themselves into the head of Fuzhou City.

Li Yuanqing shouted in a low voice: "All lie behind the sandbags, and no one can fucking show their heads." ”

The order was passed down as soon as possible.

The soldiers had already formed an instinct for Li Yuanqing's order, and they lay behind the sandbag wall one after another, never daring to show their heads.

Li Yuanqing also clung to the sandbag wall, trying his best to keep his figure down.

In a moment, there was a loud "click".

A huge iron ball like a black watermelon, in the middle of the battlement not far away, smashed most of the brick wall of the battlement, and then 'buzzed', it actually fell into the sandbag wall, and there was no movement.

The nearby sword and shield hands were all startled, and some people wanted to go out to find out what was going on, Li Yuanqing hurriedly shouted: "There are still behind, all lie down, don't look around." ”

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they all leaned down, not daring to show their heads again.

Then, there was a burst of 'crackling', and a few more shells fell on the city's head, smashing the ground of the city wall with a 'whoosh' sound.

Although the sandbag wall filtered out most of the force of the shells, some soldiers were still hit by the bouncing shells.

A sword and shield soldier smashed the cannonball in front of him, and instinctively wanted to use the shield in his hand to block it, but he was only manpower, how could he be tough with the cannonball?

His arm was instantly shattered by the huge impact, and he let out a low breath in pain.

Fortunately, there were not many red-coated cannons in Houjin, and after a platoon attack, the gap was very long.

Li Yuanqing took advantage of this gap and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to help him up and send him to the city for treatment and rest.

At this time, the terrain above the city was too narrow, except for the soldiers, all the auxiliaries were withdrawn to the city, and this work could only be done by the own soldiers.

They had just lifted the wounded soldier off the wall, and there was a 'boom' when the second round of shelling came.

With the first experience, no one in the Ming army at the head of the city dared to show their heads, and hid behind bunkers.

On the huge head of Fuzhou City, it was as if it was a dead city for a while, and under the cover of the artillery fire of the Houjin army, there was no movement for half a minute.

On the opposite side, dozens of Houjin nobles were watching the effect of the shelling not far from the artillery position.

Seeing that the red-clothed cannon was so sharp, Mang Gurtai couldn't help laughing: "This, this is really a treasure." There are these things, Li Yuanqing's bird's head, I have cut it. Hahaha. ”

He Heli was also smiling, although the setback in the morning had a certain impact on the morale of the army, but in the afternoon, after these rounds of shelling, the Houjin army instantly pulled back.

Who can do this kind of trick like Huang Taiji?

He was more aware of how correct his foresight was, who could win the Eighth Master?

Thinking about it, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Eighth Master, if you go on like this, the Ming army has no strength, let's work hard, Fuzhou City can be broken today." ”

Huang Taiji smiled faintly, but there was not much expression on his fat face.

There is no doubt about the power of the red-clothed cannon, at the beginning, outside Shenyang City, those soldiers of the Southern Barbarians were broken by them with this.

It's just that the city of Fuzhou is too quiet, which makes Huang Taiji a little puzzled for a while.

He couldn't think of what Li Yuanqing was doing now.

I am not in a hurry to express my position.

He had already prepared the fatty mutton, and if he wanted to eat it, why should he rush at this time? It is still necessary to wait until after the defeat of Fuzhou City, and then go to the city to feast.

Next to them, Dai Shan and Yue Tuo's faces were also a little shocked.

Originally, their father and son had a very good opinion on Huang Taiji's delayed siege of the city, but at this time, Huang Taiji actually brought these treasures, and their father and son didn't dare to say anything more.

The artillery attack lasted for about half an hour, and seven or eight rounds of fire were fired, and the gunner leader with the Han army flag ran over quickly to report: "Lord Belle, the cannon can no longer be fired." The barrel of the gun was already very hot and had to rest. Otherwise, it is likely to blow up. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said with a smile: "I know." Inform the gunners, rest on the spot and stop shelling. Whoever comes, the gunners are rewarded. ”

"Wow." The minions with the white flags had already prepared a tray full of gold and hurriedly brought it over.

The gunner leader looked at the golden yellow in the tray, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and kowtowed to Huang Taiji again and again, "Shebel's grace." Lord Shabel's grace. ”

Huang Taiji smiled and helped him up with his own hands, "Go down and rest." ”

"Wow."

Watching the gunner's head leave happily, Huang Taiji's eyes narrowed slightly.

Within the Later Jin, because of the relationship between the old slaves, most of the princes and nobles were not friendly to the Han people under their rule, and regarded them as pigs and dogs.

Only Huang Taiji appreciates the culture of the Han people very much, and also reuses the Han people under his banner.

This makes the days of the Eight Banners of the Later Golden Dynasty, the days of the white flag Han people wrapping clothes are the most appropriate.

Originally, these gunners of the Han army banner were reluctant to follow the army to the battle, after all, their main task was to defend Shenyang City and defend Houjin City.

Although the old slave is hateful, he also knows that these gunners and cannons are good things, and they are not too thin for them.

Even if these Han army flag gunners did not dare to offend Huang Taiji, but they politely refused, they still had enough reasons.

But Huang Taiji is not ordinary after all.

He knew very well that Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Camp was sharp and had strong firepower coverage, and if he didn't have a sharp weapon that he could rely on to suppress, it would be difficult for him to win favor.

Before setting out on the expedition, he not only personally visited these Han army flag gunners and promised a heavy reward, but also ordered Han Chen, who was good friends with him, to persuade me and Li Yongfang in turn, and in the end, seven red-coated cannons and more than 100 gunners were transferred.

It seems that although it cost some silver, compared to the immediate effect, what is this bit of silver?

At this time, seeing that there was no movement in Fuzhou City, Huang Taiji also knew that the time was almost up, waved his hand, and said to a cronie and servant beside him: "Let's start." ”

"Wow." The servant had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly passed on the order.

In a moment, the melodious horn sounded, and in front, five elite warriors with white flags and bulls, surrounded by two or three thousand auxiliary soldiers, rushed towards the head of Fuzhou City.

…………

"Yuanqing, they're here."

At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already crawled out from behind the sandbag wall, hiding behind a battlement, probing the movements of the Houjin army.

Li Yuanqing also knew very well that the shelling could not last too long, just like a bird's gun, firing continuously for a long time would inevitably lead to explosions.

The bombing of artillery was more terrifying than the explosion of birds, and these gunners would not dare to joke with their lives.

If the Houjin army wants to conquer the city, it still has to rely on their elite infantry to fight in the city.

At this time, seeing the elite of the white flag densely packed in front of him, who was afraid that there would be 2,000 people, Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Huang Taiji actually put down such a big bargaining chip, how could he not let him get his wish?

"Someone, tell the auxiliaries to go up to the city, and carry the middle row of sand bags to both sides. The Bird Soldiers are staring at the firepower, and don't let them go to the city yet. Lancers get ready. ”

"Yes."

The order was quickly passed on.

The birds and soldiers came to the front of the city, and the soldiers commanded the auxiliaries to go up to the city, and began to use the middle row of sandbags, and the pikemen also pushed the last sandbags to the base of the wall to expand the space on the city.

The originally silent city suddenly began to run rapidly.
