Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Hero's Helplessness
"Dashuai, the fish has already entered the net. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gao Huai smiled and handed a report that had just been delivered to Yang Feng and said.
"How many have you entered?"
Yang Dashuai said casually while fighting flies.
In front of him, Ruyu is holding a small leather whip, teaching the pair of newly adopted twins Lori to learn Chinese, these two little girls are called Aiko and Sakura, both of whom are specially trained by the Shimazu family to serve men, they have undergone strict training since childhood, can sing and dance and even know how to use a variety of different postures in bed, so that Yang Feng always can't suppress some chong movements, but when he thinks of the latter's thirteen-year-old age, he always chooses to give up at the last moment.
Of course, this is largely related to the latter's lack of development, after all, purely from the perspective of hobbies, he still prefers which one can bury his face directly in, and Yilan, who purely belongs to him, is very satisfying to him.
At this time, there were a bunch of various pictures on the table in front of Ruyu, with everything on it, she was like a spicy teacher, standing there with a small leather whip in her hand, picking up one to teach the two to learn one, and the two poor little Loli pronunciation mistakes and will immediately have to be beaten with a small leather whip. This woman seems to like to use this kind of thing more and more now, and it is estimated that she is dissatisfied with her desires, although theoretically she is also a handsome woman of Yang Dashuai, but because of the terrifying three-inch golden lotus, she is still in the primary stage of hand, mouth and so on.
Alas, Yang Dashuai's posterior gong is also quite complicated.
"Wrong!"
Ruyu suddenly drank very ferociously, and as soon as the little leather whip was flicked, Aiko immediately cried, and looked at Yang Feng with weak eyes.
At the same time, Yilan, who had been standing next to Yang Feng and fanning him, heard the sound of the little leather whip, and his body trembled very mechanically.
"Fifty thousand, according to intelligence, the five thousand Hunan troops who have just arrived in Hangzhou are also rushing to reinforce them."
Gao Huai said.
"Then let's wait first, it's not bad for this time, let Feng Zhen don't just try to kill happily, to give people a little hope, he killed more than 5,000 Qing troops under Cixi City in just two days, how can people have a good time with him?"
Yang Feng said dissatisfied.
"Huh?!"
……
On the city wall of Cixi, Feng Zhen and Gao Huai looked at the latest order speechlessly, under his feet, countless Qing troops were attacking the city wall of Cixi like crazy, because the weather was clear, and now even the artillery had joined the ranks of the siege, but also because of the clear weather, the flowering bombs of the Ming army also dominated the battlefield again. The battle here has actually evolved into the original Zhenhai, and even the situation of the Qing army is not as good as in Zhenhai, at least there is no barbed wire fence in Zhenhai, and the barbed wire fence outside Cixi City stretches endlessly, and in just two days, it has been full of dead bodies of the Qing army.
"How does this make me fight?"
Feng Zhen looked melancholy not far away as he spoke.
A group of Qing soldiers stepped on the dead bodies of their companions, finally broke through the barbed wire, and then rushed to the almost neckless moat, and heroically carried the ladder to climb the city wall, but unfortunately several Ming soldiers on the city wall did not hesitate to carry a few oversized water guns made of bamboo, one person held one person and pushed the back, sprayed out the inferior gasoline produced by the oil refinery, and then casually threw a torch below, you can enjoy how those heroic Qing soldiers cried in the sea of fire on the city wall.
"How are you going to let me fight?"
Feng Zhen repeated indignantly.
"No matter what, you have to take Cixi."
In the camp of the Qing army opposite him, Jiangning General E Luoshun, who personally came to supervise the battle, patted the table and shouted to Zhang Yunyi.
Because Ma Zide was seriously injured and resigned, of course, it may also be pretended, he just got a shot in the leg and scratched a little skin, just a posture that will not be around for a long time, which is too exaggerated.
And his successor is Ma Degong's son Ma Sanqi, but at this time he has not yet arrived, and the new Fuzhou general Sabu Su, the new Hangzhou general Shuncheng County Wang Noluobu has not arrived, before this, he can only transfer Luo Shun from Jiangning to preside over the war, after all, the four generals in Jiangnan are still intact.
Luo Shun was very lucky, as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he caught up with Zhang Yunyi to conquer Zhangting, although in fact this victory had nothing to do with him, but after all, when the good news arrived, he was the supreme commander of the armies in eastern Zhejiang, so it was not related to him but also to him.
In fact, the news that Marquis Zhang showed his might to conquer Zhangting in one fell swoop was causing continuous celebrations in Hangzhou, Yuyao, Shaoxing and other places at this time.
Especially in the garrison city of Hangzhou, the orphans and widows of the Eight Banners, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are excited to release the flowers, more than a year, more than a year, they finally heard the news of the victory of the imperial army, even if it is only a victory in a peripheral battle, it is enough to make almost half of the population of the garrison city this year into a sea of joy, you must know that half of the population they have lost are in the mass graves in Ningbo and other places! After the last war, Yang Feng piled up all the dead bodies everywhere in pits, the largest one was in Zhenhai, burying more than 20,000 people, and the proportion of the eight banners in this is extremely high, plus he ran to the disaster twice, and now there is no one in the entire garrison city who does not wear filial piety, and the most ruthless one does not even have a man.
Not only the bannermen stationed in the city, but even the gentry from all over the country are also celebrating, and in the past few days, several condolence groups representing the people of various places have come to condole.
In this case, you Zhang Hou Ye don't want to make persistent efforts to make new achievements, and take Cixi in one go, in order to repay the kindness of the Holy Lord Kangxi, but you still have to wither, and you have to withdraw the army, you are worthy of Kangxi's earnest entrustment, you are worthy of the reverent eyes of the people of the Qing Dynasty after getting up, and are you worthy of your father Zhang Xiangzhuang's spirit in the sky?
"Dashuai, look at it, look at the outside, this battle can't be fought!"
Zhang Yunyi almost cried and pointed out.
At this time, his intestines were about to regret the green, he would rather not beat Zhangting himself, but now it is good, he also won the first victory of the Qing army, he also carried a heavy mountain on his back, pressing him to have to crush the lives of more of his subordinates in the larger flesh and blood mill in Cixi, and because of the successful capture of Zhangting, he also made him the hope of the emperor, once he failed, the emperor's anger must be the greatest, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but now he really can't fight.
The artillery is not as good as others, just fired a cannon and then a bunch of shells smashed over.
The musket is inferior to others, and it is not even before it runs into the firing range and is hit by others as a target.
What's more, there are barbed wire arrays, as well as fire oil bottles, palm grenades, and all kinds of murderous weapons that make his scalp tingle, the Qing army is not a siege here at all, this is purely for people to kill and play.
As soon as he finished saying this, more than a dozen flames suddenly rose in Cixi City outside, and then smashed down with smoke traces, and the next moment the Qing army besieging the city exploded like a volcano, and in the firelight, you can clearly see how those Qing soldiers were thrown into the sky like children's toys, and after the firelight ended, there were scars on the ground immediately.
He looked at Luo Shun with helpless eyes.
"Ben Shuai no matter what reason you have, you must continue to attack here, Ben Shuai is with a holy decree, if you dare to escape, Ben Shuai does not care if you are a first-class marquis or a second-class marquis, Ben Shuai still asks for a holy decree to cut off your head."
Eluo Shun pretended not to see it, and threatened directly and fiercely.
He is not stupid, he is just a temporary worker, at most in a month or two, the army led by Yabu will arrive, even if he is defeated, it is not his responsibility, but if Zhang Yunyi retreats at this time, it is his responsibility, even if he is forced to continue to fight here. As for how many people die about him, he just needs not to take the responsibility for the defeat, even if Zhang Yunyi is all dead here, as long as he can survive until Yabu arrives, it can be regarded as a victory for him.
Therefore, after the threat was over, the marshal directly patted the pi shares and left, leaving Zhang Yunyi and his tens of thousands of troops to continue to target the Ming army under Cixi City in vain.
In fact, soon Zhang Yunyi also lost the courage to attack, he directly stopped the siege, and played confrontation with the Ming army under Cixi City, anyway, the Ming army did not go out of the city to fight with him, no one cared about anyone, and Oroshun pretended not to know, only the bannermen of Hangzhou garrison city and those gentry and landlords in eastern Zhejiang, were doing the beautiful dream of Zhang Houye defeating the thief army again, and postponed the time of this good news again and again.
At the same time, the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Ming Army in Ningbo were also replacing their rifles as quickly as possible, replacing the old rifled flintlock pistols with the latest fire cap rifles, which were actually Yang Feng's imitation of Enfeld 1853, the most important rifle used by the North and South armies at the same time during the Civil War. This rifle is still in accordance with the old rules, the most troublesome barrel and other parts are made by Lin Qian, here to manufacture simple parts and then carry out final assembly, Yang Feng has produced 10,000 pieces before, and now just move them out of the warehouse and send them down.
The re-equipped units are engaged in intense training as quickly as possible, in order to familiarize themselves with their new weapons in the shortest possible time.
Of course, the job is simple.
There was no essential difference in the use of flintlock pistols and musket rifles, except that the step of pouring gunpowder into the powder pool was omitted and replaced with a mounted and manufactured fire cap, which was actually more simplified than before, and the reason why those soldiers had to train was only to change their old habitual movements.
This is not difficult, the little leather whip in the hands of those instructors is very useful.
The Qing army didn't know anything about this, although they also had a lot of spies in Ningbo, but how could their spies have so much scientific knowledge to understand the difference between a fire cap rifle and a flintlock pistol, and Yang Dashuai's military camp was not so easy to penetrate, and some of those soldiers were hidden stakes of Jinyiwei.
In this way, half a month passed quickly.
Yang Dashuai finally began to close the net.
