Three hundred full soldiers still caused the Daishan army to suffer heavy casualties, and now there are more than 1,000 full soldiers under the city! The soldiers of Daishan and Zhoushan have been disabled, and the more than 3,000 recruits who have just been trained are even more in vain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ren Siqi himself lost confidence, but the Ming troops in the city were imposing. Defeating the attack of the Manchurian army and cutting off more than 200 Manchu heads was a great victory.

Over the years, the Ming army has never won against the Manchu soldiers, and the field battle has never been the opponent of the Manchurian soldiers, and only by guarding the strong city walls can the Manchurian soldiers be faced.

And now more than 1,000 Ming troops have attacked, defeating hundreds of full soldiers, such a record, which Ming army general can do it now? If it is reported to the imperial court, with this merit, Ren Siqi can at least get a general soldier.

More than 200 full soldiers were placed in front of the state government, and the people passing by cheered, while the gentry were terrified one by one. During this period of time, they were oppressed by the Daishan army, and they did not have the intention of surrendering the city with the full army outside the city. The number of Ming Qi has been exhausted, the world should be the world of the Manchurians, and now the surrender of the city is still considered to be a hero from the dragon, if it is beaten into the city by the Manchurians, with the brutality of the Manchurians, the slaughter of the city is a frequent occurrence. But the large pile of soldiers' heads outside the state government made them dare not have strange thoughts.

A disastrous victory boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, which Ren Siqi did not expect. Although the veterans of Daishan and Zhoushan suffered heavy casualties, they defeated the powerful enemy, and in the face of the admiring eyes of the recruits and the people, they were full of vigor one by one, and they were eager to go out of the city and fight with the Manchurians again.

According to Daishan's military regulations, making great contributions means rewarding. Ren Siqi immediately sent the reward down. All soldiers who returned alive were rewarded with thirty taels of silver tattoos, and then another reward according to their merits, and fifty taels of silver for each level of beheading.

In addition to the silver reward, the meritorious soldier will also be promoted. Each of the surviving soldiers of the Daishan Army has been promoted by at least one level, and now the youngest of the more than 200 veterans of the Daishan Army are all small flag officers, and there are not a few hundred households in the general banner, and Chen Mingyang, who stabilized the morale of the army and shot Baturu Yehai, was promoted to deputy thousand households.

Although promotion does not mean that you can lead the troops, the official positions in Daishan are separated, taking the army as an example, the official rank is from the small banner to the general banner and the deputy to the thousand households and thousands of households, which is the official rank. The actual position is the small flag, the general flag, the team is positive, and the battalion is positive.

However, after all, the official rank represents the treatment, and the position will be easier to promote after the official rank is promoted, and the corresponding official rank will also have a corresponding grant.

The soldiers of the Zhoushan Army enjoy the same treatment as the Daishan Army, but it is inconvenient for Ren Siqi to ask about the promotion of the official rank, after all, the Zhoushan soldiers are directly subordinate to Huang Fengwu, and Daishan is not the same system.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, they also had a large and generous pension, which would be paid to their families.

After the reward went down, the morale of the entire Jiaozhou Ming Army was greatly boosted, and the recruits looked at the veterans with envy, one by one, eager to fight with the full army immediately.

Although the morale of the Ming army was extremely high, Ren Siqi knew that with his current combat strength, he could not go out of the city and fight with the full army at all, so he could only stick to the city wall and rely on the solid city wall to consume the Manchurian troops.

There are only three gates in Jiaozhou City, and Ren Siqi arranges people to guard each gate. Fortunately, the city of Jiaozhou is not big, and the radius is only four miles, and the Ming army of 4,000 troops can take care of it. And there are more than 1,000 soldiers under the city, and they can't encircle Jiaozhou City at all, so they can only choose a city wall to attack.

In the head of the city of Jiaozhou, rolling wood and stones, ash bottle oil pot, all are prepared, in order to prevent the arrows of the full army, Ren Siqi also ordered to remove a large number of door panels of the households in the city and place them at the head of the city, as a shield against arrows.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the Qing army to attack the city.

......

Under the city of Jiaozhou, Li Shutai looked at the fluttering battle flags of the Ming army on the city wall, and frowned.

Although he was determined to destroy the Ming army in the city, the not tall city wall in front of him was not so easy to break through.

In order to quickly pacify Shandong, Li Shuitai advanced lightly and did not carry artillery and other engineering equipment, so he could only make them on the spot.

Li led the Chinese army to garrison the south gate of Jiaozhou, sent soldiers to cut down trees, make ladders and other siege equipment, and sent cavalry to plunder and rob the grain and people.

The Manchu army did not have the habit of carrying large quantities of grain, and always preferred to loot on the spot. Snatching the grain of the people of the Ming Dynasty as military food, and then driving the people to attack the city, this is the favorite routine of the Manchurians.

Looking at the faces of the familiar villagers in the city, the Ming army at the head of the city often couldn't bear to attack the old folks, and the full soldiers hid behind the people and took the opportunity to take the city.

However, this time, Li Shutai was quite disappointed, and the cavalry he sent went around Jiaozhou in a large circle, but they gained very little. Most of the people in the nearby countryside have defected to Daishan, and now they have arrived at Jiaozhou Bay by boat. Most of the remaining people belonged to large households, and they all had strong dock forts, and a large number of families held on, and a small number of cavalry could not open them at all.

In the end, several privateering cavalry joined forces and broke through a dock fort and robbed hundreds of loads of food. Because dozens of soldiers died during the attack on the dock fort, the furious full army killed all the people in the dock fort.

The teams sent to snatch the grain all returned, although they did not capture much, Li Shutai did not care, because he knew that as long as the city in front of him was broken, all the wealth and people in it would belong to him.

As for the Ming army defending the city, Li Shutai didn't care. From the mouth of the captives in Qingzhou, he already knew the details of the Ming army, the main force of the Ming army from the south had been disabled, and the rest were just some recruits who had no combat effectiveness.

In one day, dozens of ladders have been used to attack the city, although they are the most rudimentary ladders, but as long as they can catch the city, with the elite veterans of a hundred battles, Li Shutai thinks that it is easy to take Jiaozhou.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Li Shutai gave an order, and all the full troops gathered and slowly pressed towards the Jiaozhou city wall.

In the South Gate Tower, Ren Siqi was fully armed with helmets and armor, and coldly watched the approach of the full army.

When the full army was two miles away from the city wall, the artillery at the head of the city opened fire one after another.

On the city wall of Jiaozhou, there were more than 10 artillery pieces, all of which were some small cannons, including five Franc machine guns, three tiger squat guns, and five bowls that could be loaded with stone shells.

These are all artillery pieces cast decades ago, and they also participated in the war against the Japanese seventy or eighty years ago.

Originally, most of these guns had rusted breeches and had not been fired for a long time. After the Daishan Army gunners polished and cleaned up, it was found that there were still seven or eight still in use.

Seven or eight guns opened fire in turn, smashing the shells into the full array two miles away, and the shells caused a slight fluctuation in the full array, and soon the full array was restored to its original state.

A few solid shells could do very little damage to an army of a thousand people. (To be continued.) )
