Chapter 258: Rare Kindness
Dense, like ants appeared on the horizon, the living Buddha of Jebzundamba had not yet figured out what was going on, a loud shout on the city wall, the Qing army came, and suddenly made the palms of the living Buddhas of Jebzundamba cold, and their limbs were weak.
Looking at that formation, there are at least tens of thousands of people.
The huge pressure instantly rushed to the entire Kulun City, and the Living Buddha of Jebtsundamba, who had the intention of fighting, suddenly retreated. But thinking about the consequences of his own surrender, he quickly interrupted the idea.
Surrender, maybe you will die even worse.
"Prepare for war. Prepare for battle. The cry of despair, full of desolation, suddenly resounded in the sky.
There was a panic on the city walls, and the people of Kulen, who had been forced to enlist, panicked, opened their eyes wide, and pushed their cannons into the city.
"There's also to the east." The news of the discovery of the Qing army came again. The Living Buddha of Jebtsundamba suddenly retreated from the human rights, and ran to the east in a panic to take a look, and saw that on the eastern horizon, there was also a dense army, but this army was wearing a gray military uniform.
The Liaodong Army, although not very familiar with Liaodong, but the soldiers and generals who fled back from all over the country, the most powerful ones who came to encircle and suppress were those Liaodong Army with gray caps, gray uniforms, and no braids on their heads.
Raised the binoculars and looked at it, and suddenly made the living Buddha of Jebtsundamba almost faint to death on the spot, those Liaodong troops were divided into five queues, in front of each queue, pushing gloomy cannons, which were not earthen cannons on their own city walls, but powerful field artillery.
"Head, it's here, see if it's a siege." Outside the city, Zhong Lin pointed to Kulen City, which he could see with his own eyes in the distance.
In the past few days, the army of Liu Jun and Dong Fuxiang has been like a bamboo, although they have encountered resistance along the way, but it is also minimal, and after the total annihilation of the 1,000-block Outer Mongolian army 50 kilometers outside the city, the passage into Kulen was completely opened.
Without any hesitation, Liu Jun commanded the army, and after a little rest for the night, he sent troops and came to the city.
Raising the binoculars in his hand and looking at the Outer Mongolian army running back and forth on the city wall, Liu Jun smiled contemptuously.
With such a force, he dared to say that he had restored the glory of the Yuan Dynasty without shame, which was simply embarrassing to Genghis Khan.
Dong Fuxiang has now been convinced by Liu Jun, these days, although Gan Jun and Shaanxi Military Regulations are in command by themselves, it is Liu Jun who is really in command, not Dong Fuxiang.
Dong Fuxiang is old, he sees through the officialdom, he knows that Liu Jun doesn't care about the hypocritical rewards of the imperial court, it doesn't mean that he doesn't need it, since someone contributes, then why don't he pick up the ready-made, he is cunning and cunning, and he has no objection to Liu Jun's command of the two armies.
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Liu Jun was full of pride, and now the Liaodong Army and the Qing Army were well-equipped. Waving his horsewhip, he shook his finger at the city of Cullen in the distance.
"Set up artillery and siege the city."
Squeak and squeak. Field artillery was quickly placed at the forefront.
"Ready, put."
Boom, boom, boom, boom, the deafening sound resounded through the sky.
The Cullen City, which was still quiet just now, suddenly made up for the smoke of gunpowder, and the smoke that fluttered up not only enveloped the entire Cullen City, but also fell under the city with many corpses.
The Outer Mongolian army in the city obviously began to counterattack, but the backward earthen artillery, where was the opponent of the Liaodong Army and the Qing army's field artillery, after more than a dozen rounds, the earthen artillery on the city wall was suddenly blown up. All that remained was the broken cannon body and the bloody corpse that had been blown up.
After fifteen minutes of shelling, Kulen City struggled to survive in steel, but before it could react, the Liaodong cavalry and Qing troops began to attack.
Groups of Qing troops lifted the ladder and quickly rushed to the city wall in the most primitive way, under the cover of Liaodong mortars, field guns and rifles. After setting up the ladder, he began to bite the knife in his mouth and began to climb.
Who said that the Qing army was afraid of death, looking at the Qing army who did not want to die, actually risking being shot into a hedgehog and climbing without dying, Liu Jun sighed in his heart, the Qing army was not afraid of death, but did not get good training and the attention of the country.
A few screams were heard...... Liu Jun raised the telescope all of a sudden.
I saw a lot of stones rolling down on the city wall, and the stones smashed on the heads of the Qing soldiers who were climbing impartially, and the flowers bloomed as soon as they smashed their heads, and then fell down from the ladders, and even the ladders were overturned by the Outer Mongolian army. Even people fell from the city wall with ladders.
Grass and mud horses, Liu Jun's face suddenly turned sallow, and the Qing Army, how to say, is now in the united front, it is his own brother, how can he be stoned to death by others like this, it is a shame to say.
"Withdraw."
The horn of the bell bell to withdraw the troops sounded, and the Qing army and the Liaodong army that were attacking suddenly stopped attacking and quickly retreated.
In an hour's attack, at least 1,000 Qing troops were killed and wounded, and if they followed this tactic, their own troops would not be enough to plug their teeth.
"Head, if you continue to fight like this, you will suffer heavy casualties," Zhong Lin showed displeasure when he saw the hills and smashed ladders under the city wall.
There is no need for Zhong Lin to say this, Liu Jun understands, and without speaking, Liu Jun raised the telescope in his hand and began to carefully observe Kulun City in the distance.
After careful observation, Liu Jun found a major problem, this Cullen City was not actually made of walls cut from masonry, but piled up with earth.
"Grass and mud horses, go, west, mobilize all the field artillery for me, and destroy the city of Kulen for me." Liu Jun jumped like thunder, his blood-red eyes widened. He came up with a solution, which was to mobilize all the field artillery, bombard it a little hard, and then bombard the city of Kulen.
Kulun City, seeing the dense Qing army under the city, the living Buddha of Zhebu Zundamba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and those self-confidence in his heart recovered again, it seems that as long as everyone is united, then the Qing army will still not be able to enter.
Hahahahahaha
The laughter was only short-lived, and it was less than three hours before the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba returned to his palace with confidence. His own Minister of Defense rushed in and told Jebtsundamba the living Buddha that the Qing army had concentrated at least nearly 60 artillery pieces at the east gate.
With a bang, the teacup in the hand of the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba was suddenly frightened and fell to the ground.
With more than 60 pieces of artillery, and it was also field artillery, it seems that the Qing army planned to directly collapse the city wall and then enter the city.
Without the courage to go to the east gate, the living Buddha of Jebtsundamba could only look panicked, and he and his Minister of Defense were in panic all day long in the palace.
Outside Kulen City, the breeze was howling, looking at the billowing smoke of Kulen City and the brutal and incomplete city wall that had been bombed, Liu Jun suddenly pulled out his saber and looked at the artillery group that had been placed in an arc: "Aim at the eastern city wall for me and collapse it." ”
Boom, boom, boom. Without any words, the artillery mechanically opened the chamber, stuffed the shells, and then closed the bolts and bombarded the eastern wall.
It was impossible to withstand the bombardment of so many artillery pieces on the hard walls
Ten minutes later, a deafening sound accompanied by the trembling of the earth, and the eastern wall of Kulen was suddenly blown down with a gap about fifty meters long.
Lao Tzu looks at how you still throw stones this time, Liu Jun looked at the smoke and dust of Kulen City.
"Pass Lao Tzu's order, rush into Kulun, and those who dare to resist, kill. Those who disturb the people in our army will be killed, and those who dare to rob the women of the people will be killed. ”
The three killing words were coldly spoken, which not only decided the lives of the people of Kulun, but also restrained the Qing army.
Liu Jun knows very well that if this group of Qing troops does not give orders, this Kulun City, I am afraid that in two days, it will become a ghost town. Taking Kulen means that the ******** incident will be declared over, and as for some other small tribes, it can't be a big wave.
The person who was here said that this Kulun didn't think of giving it to the court. In the future, it will be the territory of its own Liaodong Army, and it will be the garrison of the Military Commission that manages Outer Mongolia on its behalf. The whole of Outer Mongolia looks left and right, and this Kulun is pleasing to the eye, the city is large, and it is close to Russia, so any movement can be quickly screened.
I don't want such a good city and people to be ruined by the Qing army. After all, in the future, the formation of an army in Outer Mongolia will depend on the Outer Mongolians.
