Chapter 12 Kong Youde's Advice

Here Luo Jian and the three of them successfully entered Yangzhou City, but Duoduo in the Chinese army tent in the Qing army camp outside the city was furious, seeing that Yangzhou was about to break the city, but such a monster suddenly appeared to disrupt his whole plan, and he couldn't help but be angry with the bullfight.

Duoduo sat on the chair, propped up the desk in front of him with both hands, stared at the two rows of generals standing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you figured out the situation ahead?" ”

Seeing Duoduo asking, Tulai walked out from among the Manchurian generals on the left, saluted Duoduo and said: "Lord Qiyu Yu, the slave has already asked the scouts who went to inspect, the monster has entered Yangzhou City, and the Tianhu army and Tianzhu army of the king of Gongshun have lost a total of one hundred and three people, the Mongolian cavalry has died twenty-three people, and the Bayala soldiers have lost nine people. When Thurai spoke of the Baraya soldiers behind, there was a look of pity on his face.

When Duoduo heard the death toll of the Han and Mongol soldiers, his face was indifferent, and when he heard the Bayala soldiers, his face changed color. Thinking of the wound on the back of the corpse of Niu Lu Ezhen that he had seen at the beginning, he asked in a hateful voice: "What kind of fire gun is used by the people on this monster, and it is so powerful that the armor of the Ibaraya soldiers can't be prevented?" What the hell is this monster? ”

You must know that Bayala wears three layers of armor, with chain mail inside, cotton armor inside, and iron armor outside, and the defense is amazing, and the existing firearms of the Ming army can't penetrate it at all, so Duoduo has this question.

Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde, as a "technical" general in the Qing army, saw Duoduo asking here, and he felt that he had already understood the relevant investigation of the situation very clearly, so he felt that he had to answer this question.

"Back to Prince Yu's words, just now I have already asked the soldiers who fled back from the front of the battle to inquire about the relevant situation, according to them, this monster is like a big cart, and there are wheels underneath, not like it is made of wood or iron, even a strong bow cannot penetrate it. This car is similar to the ancient wooden oxen and horses, which can walk on its own and is extremely fast. When the Mongol cavalry and Baya cavalry surrounded the monster, they were fired by the firearms on it, resulting in heavy casualties, and our existing shields may not be able to prevent it. Kong Youde took the initiative to stand up from the queue of Han generals and said to Duoduo.

When Duoduo heard Kong Youde say this, his face sank as if he was about to drip, and he grinded his teeth and said: "Now that this monster has entered the city of Yangzhou, once our army attacks the city, it will come out and shoot our army with that firearm, what can we do?" And the red-coated cannons have all been destroyed, what else can be done except for the ant siege? ”

The two rows of generals below began to whisper below, as if they were discussing a solution, but after a long time, no one stood up, Duoduo was very impatient, and pointed at the generals and scolded: "What's the use of waiting?" There is no solution at the critical moment! ”

Kong Youde returned to the column and bowed his head and thought for a while, feeling that he still had to stand up, and after thinking for a while, he stood up again and said to Duoduo: "Please don't worry, Prince Yu, think about it again and again, I feel that the people on the monster are also firearms, and they must use ammunition, and the strange car seems to be not small, and it is impossible to carry all the ammunition, and its quantity must be limited. ”

When Duoduo heard this, the expression on his face changed, and he felt that Kong Youde had really said the key point, looked at Kong Youde with encouraging eyes, and said, "King Gongshun has said that he is on the point, please continue." ”

When Kong Youde heard Duoduo's encouragement, his face showed a smug look, he turned his head sideways to look at the generals on both sides, and then said: "My Qing Dynasty is besieging the city this time with many soldiers and generals, if the city is attacked from all sides at the same time, there is only one strange car, how can it be taken care of on all sides?" Although its firearms are sharp, we only need to add iron plates to the shield, and we will be able to prevent it, and as long as the ammunition on this strange car is exhausted, Yangzhou City is still at our fingertips. ”

The generals of the Han army below heard Kong Youde's words, and thought to themselves that this idea was really too poisonous, the city wall of Yangzhou was tall and strong, and the casualties of the ant siege city were bound to be heavy, and the Manchu army would not participate, and the dead and wounded must be the Han army and the Ming army that had just surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty.

The faces of all the Han generals showed dissatisfaction, but because of Duoduo's obscenity, none of them dared to stand up and question Kong Youde's words.

When Duoduo heard Kong Youde say this, he felt that his heart was settled, and he stood up and said, "Okay! "I thought that this obedient king really had a lot of thoughts, and he was a talent among the Han people, why couldn't the Ming court use him, but fortunately he fell under his command.

As for whether the Han army will suffer heavy casualties, Duoduo did not care, since the south, the Ming army that has surrendered has more than 200,000, and it is under this Yangzhou city that 58,000 people have lost, Duoduo feels that it is not too much of a loss.

Duoduo had been preparing to attack the city with red-coated cannons before, and had not prepared for the siege of the city, but now he had made a decision, on the one hand, he immediately began to arrange for the redeployment of the Qing army besieging the city, preparing to attack from all sides, and on the other hand, he also had to arrange for the re-making of siege equipment, and then arranged them one by one.
