If it is one or twenty thousand Manchu Qing Tartars, Wang Chaoyong is confident that he can hold it, but this is one hundred thousand Manchu elites, and the commander is the Manchu warrior Dorgon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Ming generals who were defeated in the hands of Dolgon could not count them with two hands, Dolgon was not only fierce, but also brave and strategic, it was not easy to deal with, such a fierce general, plus 100,000 elites, even if the Tianjin Guard City was strong and tall, but everything is difficult to say.

Wang Chaoyong pondered for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Chief soldier, to be honest, I am really not sure that I can defend Tianjin Wei." ”

This is the truth, Zhang Feng is a little bit, at this time, if you can't keep it, you must stick to it, Zhang Feng said slowly: "Whether you can hold Tianjin Wei or not, it's really hard to say, but we have two favorable conditions." ”

"First, we have sufficient ammunition, and there are currently more than 200,000 rounds of paper shell shells, more than 1,000 boxes of grenades, and a lot of unconscionable artillery shells."

"Second, we have enough food, and the grain that has been transported from Langfang is being piled up in the Tianjin Acropolis, as long as the city is not broken, there will be no shortage of food for several months."

Listening to Zhang Feng's analysis, Wang Chaoyong's confidence was a little more sufficient, and he nodded and said: "Chief soldier, our transport ship has returned to Shanghai Port a few days ago, and it is estimated that it will dock at Shanghai Port in another day or two, and then, the next batch of supplies will be transported again, and we will be replenished again." ”

I have to say that steam-powered transport ships are really good, Tianjin Port and Shanghai Port are seven or eight hundred nautical miles (more than 1,000 kilometers), if the weather is good, steam-powered transport ships can arrive at Shanghai Port from Tianjin Port in about five days.

The ammunition in hand now, even in the face of the fierce siege of the Tartars, is enough to hold out until the arrival of the next batch of ammunition.

Zhang Feng nodded, looked into the distance and said, "The Tartar is finally here." ”

Sure enough, standing on the city tower, you can vaguely see a lot of stars in the distance from a high position, which should be the Tartar coming.

After a few minutes, the stars became more obvious and more numerous, and the Tartar cavalry finally arrived outside the city, and finally reached Tianjinwei.

Distance.

Dolgon rode on his war horse and looked at the Tianjin Guard City in the distance, and the experienced Dolgon knew at a glance that Zhang Feng had not only entered the Tianjin Guard, but also was ready to face the battle.

Dorgon cried out, "Tell the warriors not to rush to attack the city, but to camp outside the city and rest, and it is not too late to attack the city after dawn tomorrow." ”

The Tartars had been pursuing for so long, and they were tired and needed to rest, so there was no fighting that night, and both sides were rested.

When the sky was bright, Zhang Feng climbed the city tower again.

Last night, because it was dark, I couldn't see clearly, now the sky is bright, standing on the city tower, I can see it very clearly, outside the Tianjin Acropolis, full of Manchu Tartars, I can't count them, and the entire Tianjin Wei has been surrounded by regiments.

Only one side of the wall was slightly less, because this wall was next to the river and close to the great river, and in the event of a flood, this wall could even be used to prevent floods, and the other three sides were covered with black and pressed tartars.

Zhang Feng's expression was serious, and in the face of this situation, it was very grim.

What made Zhang Feng a little relieved was that the red-clothed cannons that had captured the Tartars last time had all been moved to the city wall and mounted on the city wall, with the muzzles facing the distance.

Although this cannon is bulky and relatively backward, it is better than nothing, and if it is used well, it can still kill some Tartars.

In addition, thirty conscienceless cannons have also been on the city wall, which is a great weapon for killing, and defending the city can play a great role.

Box by box of grenades, many of which have been moved to the city wall, and more than 2,000 young people who participated in the defense of the city, everyone's main task is to throw grenades under the city wall when the Tartars attack the city.

"Look, it's snowing!"

Zhang Feng stretched out his hand, all the snow particles hit in the palm of his hand, there was no rain, Zhang Feng was a little relieved, if it rained, it would be worse, the snow would be much better, at least the gunpowder would not be damp.

Inside the city.

The common people already knew that the Tartars were preparing to attack the city, and many ordinary people had already been mobilized to help everyone defend the city.

In an open space in the city, there are hundreds of young people, this is a new young man, ranging in age from his twenties to his forties, which is slightly lower than the requirements of more than 2,000 young people, and there are many people in their forties.

Several warriors are teaching how to use grenades, how to dodge Tartar arrows after climbing the city walls, how to protect themselves from safety, and so on.

In the face of 100,000 Tartars, nearly 2,000 soldiers, plus the original more than 2,000 young people, Zhang Feng felt that the number was still a little too small, so he began to mobilize early in the morning, and quickly organized two or three thousand young people, divided into several groups, each group of hundreds of people, and was undergoing temporary training.

A row of marching cauldrons has been set up, the flames are licking the bottom of the pot, the soldiers of the cooking class are making breakfast, of course, some of the soldiers of the cooking class have gone up to the city wall and picked up muskets, and now many ordinary people are helping everyone cook.

In the morning, the Tartars launched their first siege.

About thousands of Tartars, led by heavy armor with thick shields, followed by one or two thousand archers, and thousands of cavalry prepared from afar, this is the old routine of the Tartars attacking the city, and Dolgon also uses this siege routine for the time being.

In the north of the Tianjin Acropolis, the terrain is open and flat, the Tartars launched the first siege from here, on a gentle slope in the distance, no more than one or twenty meters high, Dolgon's commander's tent is set up here, in front of the tent, Dolgon personally watched the Tartars attack the city.

I have to say that it is worthy of the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the siege phalanx is neat and orderly, the heavy armor soldiers line up in a neat line, slowly advancing towards the city wall, and the archers who follow up behind are holding arrows and opening their bows, as long as the distance is close, they will start shooting arrows immediately.

It is true that Dorgon is a fierce general, and he is not bad at being resourceful, but he is obviously not familiar with Zhang Feng's opponent, and he uses the old routine of siege.

On the city tower, Zhang Feng stood there, condescending, looking at those Tartar soldiers.

Last time, in the face of more than 10,000 Tartars attacking the city, the Tartars were also heavy armor soldiers, holding thick shields, followed by archers, and the shooting of muskets was greatly reduced, will it be the same this time? Obviously different.

This time, not only was the red-coated cannon of the captured Tartar erected on the head of the city, but the key was the conscience cannon, and the siege team of the Tartar was still 300 meters away from the city wall, and Zhang Feng began to order the cannon.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The first to fire the cannon was more than a dozen red-coated cannons, because the distance was not far, only 300 meters, coupled with the large target, most of the shells of the red-coated cannons hit the target, this time, it was not a solid shell, but a flowering shell.

The explosion of one shell after another began to bring a lot of casualties to the Tartars, but the Tartars were obviously used to seeing them, and they did not panic, and still pushed forward.

The first round of the red cannon is completed, and then there is a cumbersome charge, the barrel is cleaned, the black powder is loaded, the lead is inserted, and the flowering shell is loaded, which is very slow.

Zhang Feng couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and sighed slightly, the red-clothed cannon is a relatively advanced cannon in this era, but it is not good in terms of power or range, and the rate of fire is relatively slow.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng has no conscience cannon.

After the first round of shelling of the red-coated cannons, the unconscionable cannons on the head of the city also began to shell, and bursts of dense sounds of "tom, tom, tom" sounded, and one by one in the round iron cylinders one by one, one after another shells shot out and flew into the distance.

The disadvantage of the unconscionable cannon is that the accuracy is poor, the range is relatively short, but it can't stand the power, and it is completely a piece of killing, and a cannon goes down, and a large number of Tartars die.

Sure enough, the first round of shelling by the conscienceless cannon brought huge casualties to the Tartars, so that many of the siege Tartars began to panic, and several Tartar officers who led the siege had to shout sharply, "Don't be afraid, you will be in the city immediately." ”

In the distance, Dorgon watched the battle.

Dolgon has always been very curious about Zhang Feng's opponent, and this time he wanted to take a closer look, and was very surprised to see the shelling of the conscienceless cannon.

The red-coated cannon Dolgon knew it, because this cannon was captured by Zhang Feng from the Tartars, but the conscienceless cannon Dolgon had not seen it.

"What kind of cannon is that!"

Naturally, no one knew, and no one answered, and to Dorgon's consternation, the Unconscionable Cannon was not only powerful, but also not slow, and soon there was a dense "tom, tom, tom", followed by a dense, violent explosion.

Several rounds of artillery shelling by the unconscionable cannon inflicted heavy casualties on the besieging Tartars, and when the remaining Tartars rushed to the city and were ready to shoot their bows and arrows, they were greeted by a dense burst of musket fire and the explosion of grenades.

The first siege of thousands of Tartars was defeated, and after nearly half of them were killed and wounded, they had no choice but to be defeated.
