Langfang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The attack was frustrated again, Gao Qiqian had a gloomy face, yesterday afternoon, Gao Qiqian received Chongzhen's holy decree, seeing that Langfang City could go down day and night, Gao Qiqian was unwilling to give up like this.

"Father-in-law, let me lead the troops to attack again." A thousand generals of Guan Ningjun shouted unwillingly.

High dive is more hesitant.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

After a shout, a eunuch who passed the decree and several of us walked into the big tent everywhere and read out Chongzhen's second decree loudly.

The first holy decree Gao Qiqian can still delay for a while, but when the second holy decree arrives, Gao Qiqian knows that he can no longer disobey the order, and he must give up Langfang, otherwise, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Gao Qiqian took the holy decree and said helplessly: "Stop the siege, all of us will open and rush to Baoding." ”

As a result, tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops have begun to prepare to leave, preparing to march to Baoding, and according to Chongzhen's will, rush to the aid of Lu Xiangsheng.

The head of the city, on the city walls.

The Manchu Jiala who defended the city really had a tense face, and the Guanning army did not want to attack the city, this Jiala Ezhen was originally confident to hold it for ten days and half a month, but now in this situation, it is estimated that it can only be defended for another three or five days, because this Manchu Jiala really knows that his casualties are also very large, and more than half of the casualties have been killed, and there are only two thousand people who can go to the city wall to defend the city.

"Haha, the Guan Ning Army has finally retreated!"

Seeing Guan Ningjun in the distance packing up his things and preparing to leave, this Manchu Jiajia Lama was really lighthearted and laughed happily.

However, the laughter soon stopped abruptly.

A Manchu Tartar pointed into the distance and said loudly: "Look! What is that! ”

On the official road in the distance, there is a group of people, the long line has no end in sight, there are at least thousands of people, the people who walk in the front are wearing green military uniforms, the team is orderly, neat, all the muskets of the same color, very conspicuous.

"That's the Ming army of Tianjin Wei!"

"Yes, it must be the Ming army of Tianjin Wei!"

“……”

The Tartars discovered Zhang Feng's team, and Guan Ningjun, who was about to leave, naturally also discovered Zhang Feng's team, and after getting a report, Gao Qiqian also took a group of people out of his big tent and looked at Zhang Feng and them from a distance.

"How could it be them?"

Zhao Guangcai shouted first, as if he understood Zhang Feng's intentions, Zhao Guangcai shouted unwillingly: "Godfather, they want to pick up ready-made, I'm unwilling!" ”

Gao Qiqian was naturally unwilling, his face was blue, he didn't look at it, and looked at Zhang Feng and them angrily, Gao Qiqian was originally determined to win Langfang City, and he attacked the city fiercely for several days, without thinking about it, everything was for others to make wedding dresses.

His face was gloomy and very ugly, but thinking that Chongzhen had already issued the second holy decree, Gao Qiqian could only say slowly: "Withdraw, evacuate Langfang as planned, and march to Baoding!" ”

Distance.

Zhang Feng saw that Langfang City was in sight, and saw that the Guan Ning army was preparing to pull out, Zhang Feng finally felt light, and finally did not work in vain, and came at the right time.

Wang Chaoyong was even more happy and laughed, "Chief soldier, look, Guan Ningjun is ready to leave, it's up to us this time!" ”

Zhang Feng also smiled, it can be seen that the Guan Ning army has killed a lot of Tartars in the past few days, and then, his siege will be much easier, and Zhang Feng is confident that he will take Langfang City.

If there are really seven or eight thousand Tartars who stay in Langfang, Zhang Feng estimates that it will be difficult to take Langfang with a lot of effort, and now it is okay, there are many Tartars killed and wounded, and it is estimated that the Tartars who defend the city are not as many as their own people in terms of numbers, and the next should be simple.

Zhang Feng, who was happy in his heart, said loudly: "Pass my order, everyone rest for half an hour, and then start to prepare, and start attacking the city after an hour." ”

The order was given, everyone first rested for a while, and then began to prepare for the siege, this time there was no feint, only the main attack, a fierce siege from the front.

In the south of Langfang City, the terrain is open and flat, even if thousands of people unfold, it does not appear crowded, Zhang Feng is attacking the city from the south of the city.

The Tartars obviously already knew Zhang Feng's intentions, and most of the more than 2,000 Tartars who defended the city went to the south of the city, that is, Zhang Feng's main direction of attack.

As for the Guanning army, it finally began to leave, with more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 war horses in front, rumbling along the official road, followed by a large number of infantry to follow, and finally hundreds of carts, estimated to be some baggage, etc.

Tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops gradually went away, but Gao Qiqian walked last, with hundreds of personal guards, unwilling to look at Zhang Feng and others from a distance, Gao Qiqian wanted to see how Zhang Feng attacked the city, it is best to attack the city and suffer heavy losses.

A thousand general said: "Father-in-law, there are less than 2,000 people in the group training of Songjiang Mansion, and the rest of them are just recruited people, just because they also want to break through Langfang City, I think it's a dream!" ”

An adjutant general said: "Our tens of thousands of troops have failed to break through Langfang City for four or five days, and it is really a pipe dream for them to want to take Langfang with such a small number of people." ”

Hearing what the person next to him said, Gao Qiqian felt a little better, and thought to himself, I'll just take a look from a distance here to see how this group of Songjiang Mansion regiments failed in training.

Distance.

In the open space about two or three hundred away from the city wall, things like large round iron cylinders have been erected, these large round iron barrels are about three feet long and about one foot thick, and there are brackets to support them, and ordinary people really can't understand what they are.

Such a large round iron cylinder is neatly arranged in three rows, twelve in each row, and each interval is about one zhang, and there are as many as thirty-two.

"Chief soldier, there is a conscienceless cannon you said, this thing is easy to use?"

Wang Chaoyong had never seen this thing before, but he had heard Zhang Feng talk about it, and seeing that Zhang Feng described it as a big weapon, Wang Chaoyong was more skeptical.

Zhang Feng nodded confidently, "Head Wang, you'll know later." ”

There was no conscience cannon, Zhang Feng personally designed it, and completed the design when he did not go north to Tianjin Wei, but also when he was still in Tianjin Wei, and trial-produced the first sample gun, and the test effect was very good.

The structure and process of the conscienceless cannon are relatively simple, it is a large round iron bucket, plus a bracket that can adjust the angle, the whole weight is not a hundred catties, but the power is very terrifying.

According to Zhang Feng's meaning, Zhao Zuolin took everyone to make thirty-two doors, and this time it happened to arrive at Tianjin Port with the transport ship, which happened to come in handy.

The soldiers had never seen this thing either, and Zhang Feng could only demonstrate it in person, charge the charge, explain the key points and principles of operation, and so on.

The operation and charge are very simple, the charge is divided into two steps, the first is ******, the ****** has been quantitatively packaged, wrapped in oiled paper, the size is basically the same as the cylinder, from the round iron drum into it, until it is loaded to the bottom of the iron drum, there is a small hole at the bottom, and the thin iron strip is used to reach through the oil paper from the small hole, and the lead is inserted from the small hole.

Then it was filled with explosives, which was also a cylindrical oil-paper bag, slightly smaller than a round iron drum, and it was relatively simple to put it in from the mouth of the barrel.

This oiled paper bag not only contained a few catties of black powder, but also a large number of iron balls, iron nails, small pieces of iron and other things, and the explosion was very terrifying, much more powerful than a grenade.

Zhang Feng explained and operated in person, everyone watched it very seriously, and learned it at once, because this is not complicated, relatively simple, the only difficult point is the adjustment of the angle, the angle adjustment is good, in order to play accurately.

Everyone is about the same distance from the city wall in the distance, and the angle is temporarily adjusted to the same under Zhang Feng's calculation, and everyone can fine-tune it by themselves during the launch process.

There is no technical content in the cannon without conscience, and there is naturally no comparison with the real modern cannon, but in the era of cold weapons, this is undoubtedly groundbreaking, the power is very terrifying, and it is also convenient to carry and transport, and the disadvantage is that the firing range is short, only three or four hundred meters of effective range, in addition, the accuracy is relatively poor.

Fortunately, this is a weapon that kills from the face, and the accuracy is a little worse, but it is acceptable, anyway, a large number of casualties will be killed and injured in one shot, and the accuracy is almost a little worse.

You're all set, ready to fire!

On the city wall, the Tartars couldn't understand it, they didn't know what the Ming army was fiddling with from afar, but they knew that it seemed to be some thick cylinders, and some Tartars were even curious and stretched their necks to look at it.

The Tartars can't understand it, and Gao Qiqian can't understand it.

Gao Qiqian said: "They don't attack the city, what kind of reputation are they doing?" ”

The people next to Gao Qiqian naturally didn't understand, many people shook their heads gently, and a Qian general said: "I don't know what it is, I've never seen such a siege." ”

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

Just when the Tartars didn't understand, a loud noise came, and many people were startled, only to see that the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and black things flew out of those round iron barrels, flew towards the distant city wall, and then exploded violently!
