Yang Cai thought that capturing the Green Battalion soldiers would completely capture Suqian, but what he didn't expect was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not trust the Han generals at all now, let alone the Green Battalion Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to supervise the Han army, Suqian also had more than a hundred Qing soldiers.

As soon as the Zheng Jiajun attacked Suqian, the 100 or so Qing soldiers immediately knew that the big thing was not good, smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and abandoned the city and fled to Xuzhou on horseback.

On April 19, the 11th year of Yongli, nearly 100 fast horses galloped to the gate of Xuzhou City.

The soldiers defending the city were about to step forward to stop them, but the Qing soldiers on the horse hurriedly took out the military order from their arms, raised them and shouted loudly, "Suqian emergency war report!" ”

As soon as he looked at the generals, the generals guarding the city immediately recognized that it was an emergency military order specially given to Suqian by Aobai, and it could not be delayed at all when it was turned off.

The goalkeeper hurriedly instructed his men to get out of the way and let them pass.

The 100 Qing soldiers then rode their horses and galloped towards the city, knocking the people on the street to the ground and injuring countless people along the way.

But these Qing soldiers don't care, it's just a few Han people who die, what's the big deal.

In the Xuzhou Mansion, Ao Bai drank angrily, "Suqian has fallen in less than half a day!" What are you dog slaves for? ”

"General, it's not small, it's all those Han dogs, they have already taken refuge in Zheng Chenggong, and as soon as the Zheng family army arrived, they immediately surrendered. The slave couldn't resist it, so he fled back to report to the general, and let the general be careful! In order to shirk their own responsibility, this Qing military guard blamed all the faults on the Green Camp Army.

"The general is angry, this is a fact, and anger is useless. Looking at the situation, Zheng Jiajun was about to attack in a big way. It's better for the general to prepare early! Astha persuaded.

Ao Bai Annai made up his mind and drank, "Order the whole army to be on alert!" As long as Zheng Jiajun dares to come, Lao Tzu will definitely let him hit his head and break the blood! ”

War makes people progress!

In the past three years, the Zheng family army has been desperately preparing for the army, and the Qing army has not been idle.

After several defeats to Zheng's army, even the most stubborn Manchu officials realized the importance of firearms.

In order to resist the Zheng army and maintain the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty issued an order to appoint Tang Ruowang, a missionary in Beijing, as the title of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, with the official rank of Zheng Sipin, and presided over the casting of artillery.

He also forced the generals of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to study the "Fire Attack Essentials" written by John Tang.

Under the auspices of John Tang, the artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty absorbed the advanced technology of the Western Run.

Sights were installed on all guns, which improved the accuracy of firing, strengthened the gun body, increased the range of the artillery, and enhanced the lethality of the artillery.

In order to be able to cast artillery, Shunzhi recruited countless blacksmiths and craftsmen, and opened more than a dozen firearms workshops in the capital and Jinzhou, forging copper and iron, forging artillery, and grenades day and night.

In order to stabilize the defense line of Xuzhou, Shunzhi sent 30,000 recruits, hundreds of large and small artillery, and countless grenades to Xuzhou.

Ao Bai has personally experienced the power of Zheng Jiajun's artillery.

In the past few years of guarding Xuzhou, Aobai forcibly recruited hundreds of people to strengthen and thicken the city wall of Xuzhou, and placed hundreds of artillery pieces at the head of the city.

Ao Bai turned Xuzhou into a fortress, waiting for Zheng Jiajun.

After Yang Cai captured Suqian, he also thought about taking advantage of the Qing army's defenselessness to attack Xuzhou.

took advantage of the night to march in a hurry, and ran to the city of Xuzhou only to find that the Qing army was very well guarded, and there was no chance to take advantage of it. I had to set up camp and wait for the army.

……

A day later, Gan Hui led an army of 100,000 and finally arrived at the city of Xuzhou.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Gan Hui sent people to shout surrender in front of the battle.

The people inside listened, quickly laid down their weapons and surrendered. The Qing army will not be able to resist my Zheng army at all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is finished, you should not stubbornly resist anymore. Surrender quickly, our general said that he will not blame the past, and ensure your glory and wealth. If you don't surrender, when the city is broken, it will be your life! ”

With the shouting of surrender, Gan Hui raised his hand.

The war drums shook the earth, and the hoplite battalion in front of the Zheng family's army beat the ground with their shields.

The whole army shouted wildly: "Surrender and don't kill, the city will be ruined!" ”

"If you surrender and don't kill, the city will be ruined!"

"If you surrender and don't kill, the city will be ruined!"

……

The entire Xuzhou City was trembling slightly in the roaring shouts of Zheng Jiajun.

Looking at the Zheng Jiajun outside the city, some of the Qing soldiers in Xuzhou City began to be afraid, especially those recruits who were even more panicked.

When the loud-voiced soldiers were still holding iron horns and shouting to persuade them to surrender, Ao Bai, who got the news, dared to come over.

Seeing that the soldiers at the head of the city were a little shaken, he snatched the bow and arrow of one of the soldiers and drew the bow into a full moon.

With a loud shout, the arrow is like a meteor.

The sharp arrow snapped and nailed half a meter in front of the surrendering soldier, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking slightly.

Frightened by this arrow, the soldier almost dropped the horn in his hand, and hurried back.

Ao Bai shouted loudly, "Southern barbarian, Hugh has to make noise. I, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, are brave in the world, so why not be afraid of your gang of pirates. If you want Lao Tzu's head, just come and get it! Hahaha......"

With the roar of Aobai, the eggs of those recruits of the Qing army gradually settled down.

Gan Hui looked at Ao Bai and said, "It's a pity that it's also a character!" ”

When he raised his head again, Gan Hui's eyes were cold, and he pulled out his sword loudly and pointed at Xuzhou and shouted: "Since you refuse to surrender, then don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the Zheng family." Besiege! ”

The artillery brigade was the first to start.

The artillery regiments had already calculated the firing range and adjusted the angle of the shelling.

The muzzles of the guns were pointed at the head of Xuzhou City.

As soon as the order was given to run, a loud sound rang out from the artillery position.

Under the scorching sun, the artillery fire still shone in the sky.

The cannonballs crossed arcs and smashed the head of Xuzhou City.

Groups of shells fell one after another, blowing up the Qing soldiers at the head of the city.

Seeing the Qing soldiers suffering in the artillery fire, Ao Bai couldn't care about the danger. Pushing away the Qing soldiers who surrounded him to protect him, he pulled out his treasure sword, pointed at the artillery position of the Zheng family's army, and shouted loudly: "Counterattack, give me a hard fight!" ”

The more than 3,000-pound Hongyi cannon placed on the head of the city also began to counterattack at this time, and the height of the city head greatly increased the range of these artillery.

These heavy artillery of the Qing army can already compete with the light and medium artillery of the Zheng family.

For a time, there was also an explosion on the Zheng family's artillery position, with countless casualties.

saw the soldiers of the Zheng family army being blown up to a blur of flesh and blood.

Gan Hui was furious, the heavy artillery was too heavy, and the ox cart was not easy to pull, so it could only be placed on the head of the city, the fortress or the ship, and it was not carried at all in this attack.

Seeing that the artillery could not suppress the Qing army, Gan Hui hurriedly ordered the Zheng family infantry to attack.

The war drums sounded, and more than 50 iron-clad building cars began to roll in the direction of Xuzhou, and more than 10 musketeers stood on each car.

As long as you reach the right distance, you can shoot at the head of the castle from behind a large iron plate that is two feet high, covering the attack of others.

Tens of thousands of soldiers under the city are carrying ladders and others to the city of Xuzhou.

Tragically, the siege of Xuzhou officially kicked off! (To be continued.) )
