Chapter 63: The Battle of Yingtianfu (7)
At this time, the other Han officials in the city avoided Guan Allegiance from afar, for fear that standing with him would be killed by Zheng Chenggong as a colleague.
Looking at his colleagues, his eyes are full of contempt and disgust!
Guan Xiaozhong looked at these Han officials and became nameless angry.
You bastards, you will only be a wall grass, and you dare to despise Lao Tzu.
Anyway, Lao Tzu will definitely be nailed into the history of shame by those historians!
When Zheng Chenggong is repulsed, Lao Tzu has made meritorious contributions, and he will worry about you one by one.
The Han officials did not wait to see Guan Zhi's allegiance, but the full generals were very happy.
Seeing that Zheng Jiajun's damn artillery did not continue to bombard, Marseille breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over and patted Guan Allegian on the shoulder and said, "Yes, you did a great job!" When this battle is over, I will definitely play the emperor and reward you! ”
Guan Xiaozhong smiled humbly when he heard it: "Thank you, thank you, my lord, the lower officials will definitely do their best to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”
Marsai looked at Zheng Chenggong's figure and shouted: "Although the thieves have not attacked the city again, they must not relax. Did you hear that? ”
"Yes!" The Qing army was busy drinking.
……
Zheng Chenggong slowly retreated to his own formation, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”
This time, the ambition to attack the city was in the poisonous plan of the Qing army, and it was in vain.
The sound of gold rang out.
The front army of the Zheng family army changed to the rear army, and the rear army became a thousand army, and the iron cavalry town was cruising on both sides, ready to meet the battle at any time.
The Zheng family's army slowly retreated, and the whole army was stern and chaotic during the retreat.
The whole army retreated for five miles, built 12 military fortresses in a row, and surrounded the city of Nanjing.
Zheng Chenggong returned to the commander's tent camp of the Zheng family's army, and as soon as he entered the door, he slammed the iron helmet on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, ******fuck the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, he is simply a scumbag, not a son of man......"
Zheng Chenggong completely broke out, scolded non-stop, and scolded all the swear words he could think of. He greeted the female relatives of all the officers and soldiers of the Qing army.
The other soldiers were also angry, and they also scolded for a while.
Although Yao Qisheng was also angry, he still tried to calm down and persuaded: "General, stop your anger!" The enemy just wanted to make the general angry, and Zhang Huang was at a loss. Such dog thieves use the people to stall artillery fire, and the heavens will not tolerate it, and they will not die well! “
After several years of military training, Zheng Chenggong also learned to control his temper.
Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
calmed his impatient heart a little, and Zheng Chenggong said: "Xizhi, Qinggou uses the people as a shield plate, and our army's artillery advantage cannot be brought into play!" And if you storm the city, you are afraid that you will hurt innocent people! Is there any way to fix it? “
Yao Qisheng said with a wry smile: "General, the dog thief threatens with the names of the people, just because he likes your reputation for benevolence and righteousness. If it were Qinggou or Li Chengdong's generation, he would definitely not care about the people and continue to attack the city. General, in fact, this plan has to be broken, it is easy to say, and it is difficult to go to the sky! ”
Zheng Chenggong heard Zou frown and asked, "How to break?" ”
"Don't worry about the people, just attack!"
Zheng Chenggong didn't think about it, and immediately drank: "No, another way!" ”
The fighting between the two armies has affected the people, and although Zheng Chenggong will feel sad, he will continue to bombard.
There will be no mercy!
But now it is not the two armies that are fighting, so mercilessly shelling innocent civilians who act as human walls.
Zheng Chenggong can't do it!
Zheng Chenggong is not the kind of person who can calmly do "kill one person in three steps, and his heart stops." The blood flowed thousands of miles, and the corpse pillowed Qianxun Mountain. Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male. ”
Yao Qisheng also knew that Zheng Chenggong would say this, so he continued: "If this is the case, we can only send a large army to surround Nanjing City, and throw letters of persuasion and surrender from time to time every day to hit the morale of the Qing army, hoping that someone can raise troops to echo our army." In addition to this, our army can also dig tunnels, or attack at night. ”
Zheng Chenggong said helplessly when he heard it: "Well, let's act according to Xizhi's strategy!" ”
Zheng Chenggong asked his subordinates to shoot persuasion letters into the city from time to time every day.
At the same time, in order not to let the army scatter, every day still let the troops attack Nanjing City in detail, and the right to act.
At first, the Qing army was frightened by Zheng Jiajun's appearance and was very nervous, but over time, seeing that Zheng Jiajun was thundering and raining every time, he relaxed!
Zheng Jiajun was acting in front of the city of Nanjing, and in several large tents erected in the military camp, Yu Kuanzheng led his subordinates to dig dozens of tunnels on the east and north sides day and night, preparing to dig into the city, and take advantage of the situation to break into the capital city and capture the city of Nanjing.
Among them, three were dug in the area of Jinchuan Gate, two were dug in the north of Shence Gate, and six were dug in the opposite side of Shence Gate, trying to bloom more.
On the seventh day of the first month of March, it took two days and three nights of excavation to finally dig into the city of Nanjing.
As soon as it was dug through, the Zheng family army, which was hiding in the tunnel, took advantage of the slack of the Qing army and immediately killed it.
At the beginning, the Qing army was killed and almost captured the city of Nanjing.
But when the general reacted, Marseille personally led the team to rush and kill, coupled with the narrow tunnel, which was not conducive to the development of the army, although the Zheng family army fought bravely, it was already the end of the crossbow.
With more than 4,600 casualties, Zheng's army finally failed.
After the lesson, the Qing army, under the proposal of Guan Zhongzhong, adopted methods such as urn listening, digging ditches, and digging tunnels.
Every time Zheng Jiajun dug a tunnel, he smoked poisonous smoke, poured dirty water, or blocked the entrance of the cave with wooden stakes, so that Zheng Jiajun's tunnels failed again and again
On March 8, a tunnel at the Shence Gate was detonated, but the city wall was not injured;
On March 7, another tunnel near the Shence Gate blasted a gap in the city wall, but the Zheng family army that rushed into the gap was thrown boiling oil by the Qing army and all of them were burned to death.
Tunnel warfare is not good, that night, Zheng Chenggong sent Gan Hui to treat the elite soldiers, and when it was dark at night, he wanted to sneak attack Nanjing City.
The human title is wrapped in a cloth.
Gan Hui and the others quietly approached Nanjing City.
In order to always guard against the attack of the Zheng army, those captive people were trapped in the city all day long.
At this time, the people at the head of the city are leaning on each other to keep each other warm.
Gan Hui approached the city and set up a ladder, although the sound was very small, but it still woke up a few people.
When they heard the noise, they stood up and looked down at the city, and they were immediately terrified.
When these ordinary people saw Zheng Jiajun attacking Nanjing City at night, they fell into contradiction for a while.
They hated the Manchu Tartars in their hearts, and they hoped that Zheng Chengcheng would lead the army to rescue them.
But in order to prevent their own people from being disobedient, those god-killing Qing soldiers took care of their wives and children.
He said that if the city was broken and they would not live, then the hostages would also live, and they would be burned to death before they died.
Hearing that these god-killing dog thieves are so vicious, these ordinary people don't dare to risk the lives of their families, so they obediently stay in the city, even if the artillery fire comes, they don't dare to escape.
Looking at Zheng Jiajun in Maliden City, an old man cried and shouted: "Don't come up again!" Master, the little one is kowtowing to you, please, don't come. It is not a pity for us to die, but our sons and daughters, our children, and our children and grandchildren, have been put into custody by the dog thieves. If the city of Nanjing is not secured, all our wives and children will be killed. My beg, sir, don't come again. We suffer and suffer, it is our life, we admit it! I beg you to go! ”
As he spoke, the old man knelt down and kowtowed and cried, tears flowing down from the wrinkles of the old man.
Gan Hui looked at those people, and his heart was full of anger, these god-killing Tartars simply don't treat the Han people as human beings.
The cries of the common people weighed heavily on his heart, making Gan Hui unable to open his mouth.
For this Northern Expedition, the general planned for so long before he finally waited for this opportunity. For this Northern Expedition, how many soldiers did the Zheng family army die!
You can't just give up!
Gan Hui didn't dare to look at the faces of the people, so he buried his head and continued to climb the city.
When the old man saw Zheng Jiajun continuing to ascend the city, he shook his lips tightly and suddenly shouted loudly: "Zheng Jiajun is attacking, Zheng Jiajun is attacking......"
The shouts of the people alarmed the patrolling Qing soldiers, who hurried over, and without saying a word, poured the boiling oil down.
Then a torch was thrown.
The boiling oil and the flames added to the fire, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army suffered heavy casualties, and Gan Hui was also seriously injured under the protection of the guards.
Zheng Jiajun returned again in vain! (To be continued.) )
