Chapter 90: The Battle of Anqing (II)
Zheng Chenggong summoned all the main soldiers and said: "The Qing army's siege of the city, regardless of casualties, has brought great casualties to our army. We must find a way to solve the Qing army as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
He Wenxing said: "Why don't you let the last general lead his troops out of the city to attack the Qing soldiers?" ”
Chen Yonghua objected: "No, general, take advantage of the darkness to attack out of the city, but you can't do it again!" After the lesson of the last time, the Qing army must be prepared. ”
He Wenxing said dissatisfiedly: "Then what do you say?" ”
"This ......" Chen Yonghua didn't have any good way for a while.
Seeing Chen Yonghua's performance during this time, Zheng Chenggong had a deeper understanding of him.
Chen Yonghua's ability in management and diplomacy is very good, but his military strategy can only be regarded as above that of a middle-class person. What's worse is probably because of his prudence, so he feels a little late in decision-making.
I can guess the enemy's actions and come up with countermeasures, but I always slow down, as if I was an afterthought.
It seems that it would be better to involve him more in management in the future, or to be a diplomat.
None of his subordinates have good plans, Zheng Chenggong misses Yao Qisheng a little, with him, at least there is someone to discuss.
It's a pity that I was too proud at the beginning, and I felt that I was very awesome, so I couldn't listen to Yao Qisheng's advice.
I regret not being at the beginning, and after I go back this time, I must reflect on it.
After reflecting for a while, I pulled my thoughts back.
Introspection is a matter for the future, but now it's better to think about how to face the current situation!
Gu Chaojian just wanted to say: "General......"
Zheng Chenggong opened his mouth and said: "There is no need to say anything about abandoning the city and escaping!" ”
"......" Gu Chaojian couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to.
Everyone was silent for a while, Zheng Chenggong saw that there was no way to go on like this, "Let's go back and think about it carefully first, and see if there is any better way to deal with the Qing army!" ”
Seeing that his subordinates were gone, Zheng Chenggong was a little depressed and called Chen Yonghua to patrol the city.
The Qing army had a large number of people, and it could be divided into three and four squads to attack the city day and night, but the Zheng army could not do this.
It has been the sixth day now, and the Zheng family army is tense with nervous nerves, for fear that if one is not careful, the Qing army will attack.
What makes Zheng Chenggong happy is that even in such a vicious situation,
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Zheng family, they did not see fear, but only indifference, perseverance, courage and loyalty.
An iron-blooded and strong army is bound to go through bloody battles and counter-battles before it can truly grow.
Just like the People's Liberation Army, without the Long March and the War against Japan, where could it persist to the end in an environment like the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and stubbornly drag down the "United Army"
An army that has a smooth ride will only develop arrogance, just like itself.
As long as they can survive, then this group of Zheng Jiajun will inevitably become a famous army in the future.
I am very grateful to these soldiers, it is they who have made themselves more confident.
"Fufu, go back! Even if you don't sleep tonight, you have to come up with a countermeasure! Zheng Chenggong said.
"Yes, General!"
……
A long night was spent in the battle between the Zheng army and the Qing army.
Early in the morning, Zheng Chenggong's eyes were bloodshot and said, "Let's do what you want!" ”
Chen Yonghua said with some concern: "General, do you want to think about it again, if you do this, it is too risky!" ”
Zheng Chenggong's eyes were resolute and said, "No, just do it, I believe in my soldiers!" ”
Seeing Zheng Chenggong's insistence, Chen Yonghua said: "Xiaguan will do it!" ”
On the seventh day, hundreds of soldiers dug hundreds of holes in the corners of the city, and at the same time dug countless holes in the avenue of the west gate.
On the morning of the eighth day, the soldiers of the Qing army attacking the city clearly felt that there were many fewer soldiers of the Zheng family army defending the city, and there were several times when the Qing army easily attacked the city, which had never been encountered before.
If it weren't for the Zheng army's dense grenades to drive the Qing army out of the city, maybe the Qing army would have conquered Anqing City.
Hearing the return of his subordinates, Hong Chengchou was very happy.
After several days of siege, the Zheng army suffered heavy losses, and the Qing army besieging the city was even more serious.
Of the 170,000 troops, there are now only 110,000 left.
Not only the soldiers were dissatisfied, but even those Han generals were greatly dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the forced suppression of more than 10,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, I am afraid that the Green Battalion Army would have rebelled long ago.
Fortunately, this damn Zheng Jiajun was finally dragged down by my army.
Hong Chengchou shouted excitedly: "Everyone, now the Zheng family army is at the end of the road, everyone do their best, as long as you take Anqing City and defeat the Zheng family army, I will definitely ask the emperor to reward you heavily!" ”
Although Ao Bai was reckless and impulsive, he was not a fool, and he also encouraged him: "Yes, as long as I can eradicate the Zheng family, I will definitely invite the emperor to reward him greatly." When the city is broken, everyone can ask for five days, I will never interfere, everyone can enjoy it! Hahaha......"
Hearing Ao Bai say not to interfere, all the Han generals under the seat were disdainful.
Noninterference? I'm afraid that the one who wants to do this the most is you generals!
Still, they bastards eat meat, and we can drink some soup.
In the afternoon, a group of Han generals personally led the army to attack the city.
This offensive was fierce, and the Zheng family army could not resist it, and retreated step by step.
Hong Chengchou drank with a red face: "Zheng Jiajun can't hold on, everyone kill quickly!" Fight into the city, the riches of the city are waiting for you! Kill it."
The head of the city is missing!
Control of the walls is lost!
Zheng Jiajun was killed, and he could only use the lanes in the city to resist stubbornly in front of the government office.
Seeing that the city gate was opened, the blood of the Qing army and beasts was boiling, and the city was broken, and it could be robbed and plundered at will, raped, adulterated, and plundered at will.
When the green battalion soldiers have to deduct those bosses and bully the soldiers, the only benefit now is that when the city is broken, grab more and be more wanton, so as not to waste Lao Tzu's hard work.
When attacking the city in peacetime, these green battalion soldiers are lazy if they can, and when they charge, they push others on, and they desperately lean back.
Now that he saw that Anqing City was in front of him, the soldiers who were stimulated by the wealth rushed up and desperately poured into the city.
More than 110,000 Qing soldiers rushed into the city in an orderly manner, and many Qing soldiers were even trampled to death by their own companions.
Seeing that the Qing army was in chaos, Hong Chengchou was a little dissatisfied, but he did not stop it.
He knew that the Qing army had also collapsed too tightly during this time, and it was time for them to vent.
If he forced it at this time, he was afraid that those green camp troops would immediately rebel.
As for the people in Anqing City, Hong Chengchou has led the army for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to the atrocities of the Ming army and the Qing army, and now Anqing is not my Qing Dynasty, but Zheng Haikou's, since these people want to rebel, why should they care so much.
Hong Chengchou didn't care about what happened to the people, what he cared about now was whether he could capture Zheng Chenggong.
can capture Zheng Chenggong, and the big thing can be decided. If you don't catch it, you'll have another twist and turn.
Hong Chengchou was thinking about the next step of the Qing army after capturing Zheng Chenggong and not capturing Zheng Chenggong.
Suddenly, five or six thousand Qing soldiers around the explosion site were killed in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the earth set off a wave like a rolling wave, shaking the Qing soldiers and horses to jump.
Hong Chengchou was unprepared for a while, threw down the war horse, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.
A sixty-year-old man, whose fragile bones could not withstand such a torment, fractured his arm and flipped it at 60 degrees, looking very scary.
Hong Chengchou didn't even shout out a voice, and fainted directly.
At the moment when Hong Chengchou fainted, in Anqing City, there were loud noises one after another, and the smoke covered the sky.
What's even more terrifying is that in the screams of the Qing soldiers, the city wall of the west gate of Anqing collapsed, and the Qing soldiers who were busy rushing into the city had nowhere to escape.
The broken stone wall covered the sky and fell, killing three or four thousand Qing soldiers in an instant.
More than 10,000 Qing soldiers were not killed, but they were directly shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the huge explosion.
Although the Qing soldiers who were a little farther away did not die, there were blood stains in their ears, and they fell to the ground in a daze, their eyes were in a daze, and their whole body was blindfolded.
Everyone in the Qing army was terrified by the barrage of explosions, and the shadow of death inexorably eroded almost everyone.
People shouted and neighed, and there was a mess.
As soon as the explosion sounded, Zheng Jiajun rushed out of the hidden hole, and the fighting spirit that had been suppressed by the Qing army's siege for a long time was stimulated by the blood boiling, and one by one ghosts and wolves howled and rushed in to cut at the Qing army.
These soldiers of the Zheng family army are not the elite of a hundred battles, these people are killed, like a tiger entering a flock. Rushing into the crowd of Qing soldiers, the knife brought up bundles of blood.
In the blink of an eye, the Zheng family's army had already penetrated the Qing army inside the city and killed the Qing soldiers outside the city.
"Ah~!" In the frightened screams, the Green Battalion army collapsed first, and they could no longer support it at the end of their crossbows, so they tried their last strength to seize the road and flee out of the city desperately.
How so! It was only a moment's work, and the change in the situation made Ao Bai unbelievable.
Reluctantly trying to contain his painful thoughts, Ao Bai rode his horse and galloped to the cavalry of the Manchurian Eight Banners who were still resisting the onslaught of the enemy, and shouted the command: "Follow me around, don't scatter!" ”
After all, he is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and Ao Bai knows that the defeat in front of him is irretrievable, and it is his best choice to preserve his strength and retreat.
After making a judgment in the shortest possible time, Ao Bai shouted, "Die!" ”
Swinging his sword, he cut off the head of an enemy soldier, and then rode his horse and led the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry to fight his way out of his own soldiers for a day, desperately fleeing.
"It's over! Finished! It's all over."
Zhang Dayuan, the deputy general of the Qing army, saw the sudden reversal, and wanted to cry without tears, and the whole person was like a fool, and he sat down there muttering.
But the guards around him couldn't look at him in a daze, so they didn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, pulled him up and ran, until he got on the war horse and ran for more than ten kilometers, and the admiral had not yet woken up from the nightmare.
"Kill!" The so-called defeat was like a mountain, the Qing army that lost its armor was chased and killed all the way, and many kneeling and begging for mercy were also hacked to death on the spot by the murderous Zheng Jun.
As soon as they saw the banner of the Zheng family's army, they immediately ran, and even discarded their weapons and armor in order to run faster. (To be continued.) )
