readx; Speaking of which, Tong Yangzhen is not stupid, of course he knows that using the three thousand traitors under his command to attack the city is purely looking for death, so he resorted to a poisonous plan in an attempt to provoke the Ming army to go out of the city to fight. Although the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is the same as the casualties, it is much better than being a live target under the city.

When the Qing army picked up a human head with a high pole, although it was far away, Zhu Youzhen could still see it clearly, it was the head of Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town! After more than half a month, although he has been contained in a wooden box, the old hero's face still began to rot, revealing the white bones under the flesh.

It turned out that Zhu Youzhen had equipped the main generals of the border army with grenades for self-defense in case of emergency. Because the problem of extinguishing the fuse after the grenade was thrown has not been solved, and the production capacity is not large enough, except for the five military battalions and the Shenji battalion that have been defeated, the grenades have not been installed on a large scale in other Ming armies. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shujiao used the grenade as a "glorious bullet" at the last moment, and died with a Manchu Jialazhen.

Of course, the Qing army hated this old hero who desperately resisted and killed and injured countless Qing soldiers, and even though Zhao Shujiao had already sacrificed, they still cut off his head. At this time, Tong Yang's true order raised his head high, and shouted to the head of the Taiping Gate City with a vivid spirit: "See it!" Anyone who dares to confront the heroes of the Qing Dynasty will end up like this! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw it really at the head of the city, and when he got angry, he screamed, and almost fainted. Xie Sheng and other generals hurriedly supported him, and after a while, Zhu Youzhen stared at his blood-red eyes and scolded: "Shameless dog traitor, I have to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

The Ming army at the head of the city was also full of righteous indignation! If the Qing army only kills on the battlefield, this can barely be justified, because fighting is inherently dead. But they actually insulted the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and humiliated the Ming army with the head of the general Zhao Shujiao, but any man with a little blood, who can stand this kind of stimulation!

Several of Xie Sheng's subordinate generals asked Zhu Youzhen for battle with tears in their eyes, demanding that they immediately lead a force out of the city to fight and snatch the head of the old general back for a grand burial.

Zhu Youzhen endured his grief and said: "No! The Tartars singled out the head of General Zhao in order to provoke us out of the city to fight. We should focus on the overall situation and stick to it! ”

"But the saint, the old general's revenge will not be avenged!" A partial general cried bitterly.

Zhu You gritted his teeth and said: "Who said that there is no revenge, the eldest husband will take revenge, but he has to use his brains, and he can't do it brutally!" The Tartars will not come to attack if they want to fight, and then we will kill the enemy again to avenge General Zhao. Spread my will, and anyone who has a general or soldier who goes out of the city to fight without his life will be beheaded immediately! ”

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the soldiers had to suppress the anger in their hearts and stare at the Qing army outside the city with eyes that could almost kill. Tong Yangzhen thought that the Ming army was afraid of war, and shouted triumphantly: "Why, are the Ming troops defending the city all turtles with shrunken heads?" Since you don't care, come on, put down the head of Zhao Shujiao, and everyone will pee on his head! ”

In the laughter of the 3,000 Qing troops, Zhao Shujiao's head was indeed thrown to the ground, and several shameless traitors ripped off their pants and wanted to insult the head of the old hero. The Ming army at the head of the city was even more furious, and even Xie Sheng, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't stand it, and said eagerly to Zhu Youzhen: "Shengshang, let's open up the artillery bombardment!" The enemy is exactly within the range of flowering artillery fire, and a single salvo can injure hundreds of enemies! ”

It turned out that in addition to the artillery just brought by the Portuguese, the Beijing division still had twelve Hongyi cannons. Originally, there were nearly 100 Franc cannons, whether they could be used or not, at least they could scare people by erecting them at the head of the city.

However, a big explosion in Wang Gongchang blew up all these Franc cannons sealed in the warehouse, leaving only the twelve Hongyi cannons that had been erected at the head of the city. These cannons have never been fired since they were placed in the Wanli period, and no one knows whether they can be used in actual combat.

It was obviously not enough to rely on these cannons to guard the Beijing division, so Zhu Youzhen ordered Xie Sheng to transfer artillery from Qinwangzhuang to Beijing one after another. Now most of the rapid-fire guns of the Qin soldiers and the newly developed flowering cannons have arrived in the Beijing division, and the military factory has urgently produced 20 rapid-fire guns.

In addition to the relatively mature rapid-fire cannon, that is, the improved Franc cannon, Zhu Youzhen and Xie Sheng both had high hopes for the flowering cannon. The so-called flowering cannon is actually the prototype of the howitzer, the caliber of this artillery is much smaller than the ordinary Franc machine gun, and the gun body is much shorter, and the main difference is that the projectile used is not a solid bullet, but a hollow steel bullet filled with gunpowder. After firing, instead of injuring the enemy by inertia like a solid bullet, the gunpowder in the shell is detonated by the fuse, causing the steel bullet to explode, and the shrapnel produced by the explosion to injure the enemy. This is no longer a point kill or a line kill, but a face kill, and the lethality naturally increases exponentially.

However, since the successful development of the flowering cannon, it has never been used in actual combat, and Xie Sheng certainly wants to test the power of this kind of artillery in today's battle. Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth and said: "It's too early to open fire, Sun Yuanlong and Wei Zhen spent so much effort to develop a killing weapon, these dog traitors are not qualified to try it!" ”

"Then use the flint Lumin Gun, shall we?" Xie Sheng said again, because the distance between the Qing army and the city head was 100 steps away, and the range of bird guns and ordinary bows and arrows could not be reached.

Zhu Youzhen still shook his head and said, "Don't use any firearms first." Shoot with a longbow! ”

Although Xie Sheng was puzzled, he still resolutely carried out Zhu Youzhen's order. At the sound of an order, sixty longbowmen immediately lined up at the head of the city, divided into three rows, the front, middle and back, the twenty people in the front row opened the six-foot-long longbow like a full moon, and the officer shouted "release", and twenty three-foot-long iron arrows immediately fell in front of the Qing army like meteors!

Tong Yangzhen actually saw that there were archers at the head of the city who were ready to release arrows, but he didn't take it to heart. Because the distance between the two sides is too far, even the strongest Jurchen warrior can shoot at such a long distance, it is the end of the crossbow, and there is no lethality at all.

Unexpectedly, with the sound of whining through the sky, Tong Yang was really shocked to find that the sharp arrows of the Ming army were like Mount Tai pressing on the top, shooting quickly with great force! He was also experienced in a hundred battles, so he naturally knew that it was definitely not trivial to be shot, but it was too late to ride his horse to dodge, so he slipped directly from the horse in a hurry, and only then did he dodge an arrow that came straight to the door in front of him.

But a personal soldier behind him was not so lucky. Tong Yangzhen dodged, and the sharp arrow was nailed to the chest of this pro-soldier. With a heart-rending scream, this guy was actually shot directly off the horse's back, and flew backwards for nearly a foot before falling heavily into the dust!

Before Tong Yangzhen came back to his senses, the second and third waves of sharp arrows had already been shot again!
