Chapter 10024: The whole army cried
readx; As countless torches rain down from the sky, the flames under the walls soar, and in an instant, it becomes a hellish world!
Before the Qing army attacked the city, they also encountered the defenders' tricks of pouring boiling water down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut the boiling point of water is only 100 degrees at the highest, and it will cool down when it is splashed from the city, and it can indeed be scalded when poured on people, but it cannot be fatal. Moreover, the Qing army wore armor, unless boiling water happened to be poured on the 'naked' and 'exposed' face, it was generally tolerable.
But today is completely different, the Ming army poured vegetable oil that was about to boil! The boiling point of oil is as high as 200 degrees, how can it stand sticking to the skin? All the Qing soldiers who were splashed and splashed fell from the long ladder screaming.
But that wasn't the end of it, as large swaths of vegetable oil were quickly lit by fallen torches, leaving little place under the city walls. Some of the Qing soldiers were already poured with oil, and now their whole bodies were on fire, and they could still let out a few wails at first, rolling on the ground in pain, but they were soon unable to move. The fire burned more vigorously by the "human" potential, and for a while, the pungent smell of the human body was accompanied by a large amount of smoke on the city, which made the three ministers dizzy and 'flower'.
Taking advantage of the blazing fire under the city and the Qing army fleeing in disarray, the bird gunners and archers at the head of the city suddenly aimed at the Qing archers hiding behind the chariot and launched a 'wave' of fierce volleys. There are also rapid-fire guns on the city wall in the distance, rotating the cannon body to nearly parallel to the city wall, aiming at the car and firing the cannon.
Originally, the distance between the chariot and the city wall was less than thirty paces, and the artillery in front of it could not hit it. However, each wall of the outer city of the capital division is more than 20 miles long, and as long as it deviates by more than 100 steps, the artillery on both sides can still hit the enemy who is closer to the city wall.
In addition to firing faster, the rapid-fire cannon also has an advantage over the Franc cannon, that is, it is smaller and lighter. The Qi family's small Franc cannon weighed 150 catties, and the weight of the rapid-fire cannon was compressed to 120 catties.
But where did the Qing army know these details, and thought that the artillery of the Ming army was like Ningyuan and other cities, and could only be fixed at the head of the city and fired in one direction. At this time, it was suddenly bombarded by shells from the side, and when he was caught off guard, a large number of people were killed. In addition, arrows rained down at the head of the city, and lead bullets flew 'chaotically', even if it was a cart, it was impossible to completely seal it, and there were heavy casualties for a while, and the rest of them dared to poke here as a live target, and immediately retreated like a 'tide'.
However, as soon as they retreated, the cavalry of the "Meng" ancient yellow banner immediately "shot" at the "chaotic" arrows, and many Han "traitors" did not die under the guns of the Ming army, but died at the hands of "their own people".
It turned out that Ulan was very cunning, and he forced Tong Yangzhen and Shi Tingzhu's Han army banner to attack the city desperately, but his cavalry stopped fifty or sixty steps away from the city wall and fired arrows at the city from a distance. At this distance, the artillery could not be bombarded, and there were Han people in front of them to block guns and arrows, and they could be the first to escape when retreating.
At this time, seeing the retreat of the Han army's banner in chaos, Ulan thought that Huang Taiji had not yet ordered a retreat, and if he let it go, he would have to take responsibility, so he simply "consciously" served as the horn of the supervising team. Under the attack before and after, the soldiers of the Han army banner can really be said to have no way to go to the sky and no 'door' to enter the ground, and the casualties have exceeded 1,000 in an instant, and even Shi Tingzhu was hit by an arrow in the face, not only 'shooting' through the cheeks, but also knocking out a few teeth, and his face was full of blood, looking embarrassed.
Just when the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry was 'shooting' their own people's 'shooting' vigorously, the rapid-fire 'firing' cannon that had just bombarded the car had already adjusted its angle again. Even the chariots thirty paces away from the city wall could be hit, let alone the 'Mongolian' ancients fifty or sixty paces away, accompanied by the rumbling cannon, the solid iron bullet smashed into the cavalry formation again, and then 'stirred' a rain of blood and 'flesh'.
Now Ulan can't care about being a warlord anymore. In his opinion, it doesn't matter if the Han people die a thousand or ten thousand, but his 'Mongolian' ancient warriors can't be sacrificed casually. Seeing that the infantry army couldn't attack at all, it didn't make sense for his cavalry to accompany him here. Besides, this iron lump doesn't have long eyes, and it may hit his head with the next shot.
Thinking of the shattered and tragic situation of the 'Meng' ancients who had just been hit by a cannonball, Ulan shuddered and immediately rushed to the road. As soon as the main general ran, the 'Meng' ancient cavalry under his command ran even more happily, and they were already defeated in an instant.
It was only at this time that the three ministers who were watching the battle at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the defeated enemy army and said with great interest: "It turns out that General Xie Chengzhu is in the 'chest', and it is I who is waiting for the abruptness!" By the way, the enemy is still within the range of the artillery, so why not continue to fire? ā
Zhu Youzhen said with a 'treacherous' smile: "The artillery can't be fired continuously, otherwise it will explode." By the way, Lord Shoufu, I have to wronged you and use your name to deceive the Tartars. ā
Han Yi was inexplicable, but the Qing army was repulsed, and he was always in a good mood, so he hurriedly said: "But according to Your Majesty's orders, as long as you can retreat from the enemy, you will not be afraid of death!" ā
Zhu Youzhen nodded to Xie Sheng, and Xie Sheng whispered a few words to Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang turned into a bitter gourd face when he heard this, and hesitated: "This... How does this work? ā
"Execute the order!" Xie Sheng said with a grim face.
Zhou Yang was helpless, so he had to shout loudly: "All of them, cry hard for me!" ā
The soldiers were already excited to repel the enemy army, but they were all puzzled when they heard this order, and they asked: "General, why are we crying when we win?" Besides, who are you making us cry for? ā
"If you cry, you will cry, otherwise you will be severely punished with twenty military sticks, and let you cry falsely and cry really!" Zhou Yang said angrily, "Just cry Lord Shoufu!" ā
The soldiers are even more inexplicable: Lord Shoufu is obviously standing well in the city, why are you crying?
Zhou Yang was really anxious, he didn't dare to disobey Xie Sheng's general order, and in a hurry, he took the lead in grinning and howling: "Lord Shoufu... You died such a miserable death..."
Everyone was stunned, but Zhou Yang howled and kicked the buttocks of the soldiers around him one by one, which meant crying with him. Everyone will realize this, thinking that since it is a military order, and the main generals have taken the lead in crying, there is no way, then cry!
So the Ming army at the head of the city cried loudly together, although it was dry thunder and no rain, but the cry shook the sky. Some of them moved the Shaanxi folk mourning set over, sat on the ground and beat their chests, shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground, and sang crying and mourning songs, which really made people laugh.
But others don't dare to laugh if they want to laugh, as the protagonist of this farce, Shoufu Han Yi, can't stand it. The old man's face was already angry with pig's liver, and he was just about to speak, but Zhou Yang shouted loudly: "Don't just cry stupidly, say 'Lord Shoufu'!" ā
