Tianjin Wei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past two days, Zhang Feng felt that his right eye was beating hard, his left eye was jumping for wealth, and his right eye was jumping for disaster, although this is a superstitious saying, but now the Tartar soldiers are coming to the city, and the danger is everywhere, Zhang Feng can't help but believe it.

"Well, it's not just the right eyebeat, it's estimated that something big will happen." Zhang Feng thought so in his heart.

"Could it be that there is something big in the Manchu Tartars, or is there something big going on in the Songjiang Mansion?" Zhang Feng walked up and down the hall, thinking about these carefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was naturally impossible to come up with anything, Zhang Feng walked out of the hall of the Weisho Mansion, went up to the city tower, and stood on the city tower and looked at the Tartar in the distance.

It's been sunny for the past few days, and the snow has basically melted, but there is a little mist today, and it can't be seen clearly from a distance, but the Tartars definitely haven't retreated, Zhang Feng thought in his heart, is the Manchu Tartars really preparing to besiege Tianjin Wei for a long time?

"General soldier, there is a new situation." Wang Chaoyong walked over quickly, his face slightly anxious.

Zhang Feng thought that his right eyelid was always jumping inexplicably, and he couldn't help but worry for a while, and immediately asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Chief soldier, it's not clear for a while, you come with me."

After speaking, Wang Chaoyong took Zhang Feng and walked to the north city wall, Wang Chaoyong beckoned: "Cheng Sanshun, come over for a while." ”

A young man trotted over all the way: "Chief Zhang, Commander Wang, hello." ”

Wang Chaoyong nodded and said, "Tell the Chief Soldier about the new situation you have discovered." ”

"Yes." Cheng San said: "Lord Commander, look, is there a mist belt ahead, like a long dragon, coming straight to our city wall from a distance. ”

Zhang Feng took a serious look, nodded and said: "If you don't say it, you really don't think there is anything abnormal, so if you say it, if you take a serious look, it seems that this is indeed the case, Cheng Sanshun, is there anything special about this?" ”

Cheng San said: "Lord Commander, there is a lot of fame here, listen to me carefully......"

Zhang Feng listened very carefully and asked very carefully, and after a long time, Zhang Feng said slowly: "Fortunately, we found out, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable, I can't believe it!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng said loudly: "Sanshun, you have made a great contribution this time, say it, what reward do you want!" ”

Rewards and punishments are clear, this is Zhang Feng's consistent principle of governing the army, good performance, rewards, mistakes, punishment, and officers and soldiers are equal, if Wang Chaoyong made a mistake, Zhang Feng will also be unrelenting, give punishment.

Cheng Sanshun did not hesitate, obviously he had already thought about it, and said loudly: "Lord Commander, I want to be a soldier, I want to be your soldier." ”

Zhang Feng Dayue said happily: "No problem, in addition, I will reward you with another fifty taels of silver." ”

Seeing that he could be a soldier, Cheng Sanshun was very happy and hurriedly thanked: "Lord General Soldier, thank you." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, then looked into the distance, and said to Wang Chaoyong: "Commander Wang, how to deal with the Tartars next, you don't need me to teach you." ”

Wang Chaoyong stood up straight, stood upright, and said loudly: "Chief soldier, don't worry, this time I will make the Tartars repeat the mistakes of the past and make them pay a heavy price." ”

Zhang Fengyou glanced at Cheng Sanshun and thought in his heart, this time is really a great luck, fortunately, he had insight into the intentions of the Manchu Tartars in advance, otherwise, Tianjin Wei would be in danger!

………

The capital, the early dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen was famous for his diligence, and the early dynasty never stopped, and it is the same today, after the ministers played all kinds of matters, Chen Xinjia came out of the ranks.

Chen Xinjia said: "Your Majesty, since the Tartars besieged Tianjin Wei, they only began to attack the city several times in two days, and then they never attacked the city again, but just besieged Tianjin Wei in groups, and these two days are even more strange, and even looting everywhere has been saved. ”

The Tartars have besieged Tianjin Wei for nearly ten days, in addition to the siege of the city, the common people within a radius of 100 or 10 miles of Tianjin Wei have suffered, the Tartars have looted everywhere, and many villages and towns have been almost empty.

In particular, some large households, all the savings of several generations have been robbed by Tartars, grain, money, and even livestock have been robbed a lot.

But since yesterday, the strange thing is that the Tartars have stopped looting, as if they are preparing for some big move, and Chen Xinjia is very worried when he learns of this situation.

Chongzhen said slowly: "It can be seen that the Tartars are ready to attack the city, and they are fully prepared, and they are fully sure that they will take Tianjin Wei in one fell swoop." ”

Yes, the Tartars have been preparing for so long, and they are here in one move, and if they are not completely sure, the Tartars will not be like this, and even the looting has stopped.

Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Wei is completely finished, we have to think in advance, after the Tartars capture Tianjin Wei, if we turn around and attack the capital, what will we do?" ”

Chongzhen was silent.

Chongzhen was depressed, thinking in his heart, is Zhang Feng really finished, can they still create miracles? Can you still give yourself a huge surprise?

………

Tianjin Wei, outside the city, the Tartar tent.

Dolgon, Yueto and other high-ranking generals were present, discussing important matters, everything was ready, and the Tartars were about to start.

A few days ago, Dorgon thought that he still had thousands of pounds of gunpowder, and on a whim, he came up with a clever plan to dig tunnels, bury gunpowder, and blow up the city walls.

Such a clever plan was opposed by Yue Tuo, but Dolgon had already made up his mind, and even said that Yue Tuo was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, unlike a warrior of the Qing Dynasty.

At the beginning, Yue Tuo used red-coated cannons to bombard intensively, and collapsed a section of the city wall, and more than 10,000 iron cavalry rushed into the city wall through the gap in the city wall, but more than 10,000 cavalry were almost all lost and became the soul of the gun.

This time, Dorgon was about to blow up the city wall and rush into the city through the gap in the wall, but Yue Tuo was worried, and Yue Tuo objected.

But Dolgon has made up his mind, Yue Tuo is useless to oppose, in addition, Dolgon thinks that this time is completely different, he is digging a tunnel to bury explosives to blow up the city wall, the other party does not know at all, as soon as the city wall collapses, a large number of cavalry rushed in with lightning speed, and the Ming army defending the city will definitely not be able to react.

Last time it was completely different, the Ming army defending the city was well prepared, waiting for work behind the city walls, setting up muskets early, just waiting for you to rush in.

"Master, everything is ready, the warriors are ready to try!"

"Good!" Dolgon said happily: "God help me today, such a big fog has given us good cover, and as soon as the explosion sounded, everyone rushed into the city as quickly as possible according to the order arranged just now." ”

"Yes!"

It was indeed foggy today, bigger than yesterday morning, and under the thick fog, it was hazy for a hundred and ten meters ahead, and it was completely unclear from a little farther away.

On the castle tower.

Zhang Feng looked at the dense fog and thought in his heart, if there is no guess, the Tartars are about to attack, if there is no guess, the dense fog in the distance is full of Tartar iron horses ready to attack.

Tartar was ready, and Zhang Feng was ready.

After gaining insight into the intentions of the Tartars two mornings ago, Zhang Feng ordered Wang Chaoyong to act immediately, at least, behind the section of the city wall that the Tartars were about to blow up, a large number of houses had been demolished, and a huge ring fortification had been built.

Bricks, stones, and even wood were used to build strong fortifications that were one man high, and dense shooting holes, semicircular rings, enclosed an area larger than a football field.

Seeing the thick fog, Zhang Feng said in a deep voice: "Order everyone, enter the combat position, and prepare for battle." ”

The warriors who stayed on the city wall went down the city wall one after another, only a few young people stayed on the city wall, in order to confuse the tartars, a lot of scarecrows were erected on the city wall, and the scarecrows showed a little bit, because of the fog, even if it was close, they thought it was the soldiers guarding the city.

The soldiers were in place, and the more than 1,000 young men who cooperated with the battle were also in place, boxes of grenades were brought up, and all the thirty unconscionable cannons were used.

Musket shots, grenades, and thirty unconscionable runs, were enough to give a pot to the Tartars who had rushed into the great ring of fortifications.

In addition to the ring fortifications, Wang Chaoyong did even more extremely, close to the ring fortifications, surrounded a large circle, at least built hundreds of simple towers, each about one or two zhang high, three or five young men on it, a few boxes of grenades, standing high, grenades thrown far away.

There is a tower built extraordinarily large, even if a dozen people go up does not appear crowded, standing on the tower more than two zhang high, you can see clearly the situation inside the whole ring fortification, of course, this is the situation that there is no dense fog, now the dense fog is filled, and it is not very clear to see, but you can basically see a rough.

Zhang Feng descended the tower and climbed the tower, and Zhang Feng estimated that it would not be long before the Tartars would begin to attack the city.

Now the fog is thick, the summer fog rain, the winter fog is clear, I believe the Tartars also know this, after a while, the sun comes out, under the sun's irradiation, the fog will gradually disperse, and by noon it will be dispersed cleanly, the Tartars must choose before the fog dissipates.

Zhang Feng took Wang Chaoyong and others to climb the large tower, Zhang Feng was ready to personally sit in command, standing on the tower, and time passed minute by minute.

There was silence all around, everyone was in their places, and it was the calm before the war.

About half an hour later......

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, the earth trembled repeatedly, and a large section of the city wall was blown down, revealing a gap more than 100 meters long.
