Chapter 554: Heaven-shattering thunder
With Zu Dashou's order, the soldiers who had been urged by officers at all levels to grit their teeth and attack the city breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately retreated like a tide. Come on,.!
To tell the truth, it was not that these soldiers did not work hard, but that the Qing soldiers were too fierce and cunning, and the Qing soldiers stood on the other side of the city wall, waiting for them to climb up and shoot them to death with bows and arrows.
Seeing that the Dahua soldiers had withdrawn so quickly, Haoge, who was guarding the city wall, was stunned at first, and then laughed, and the depression of being defeated by the Dahua army a few days ago seemed to be swept away......
"These lowly Nikans are so useless, they stopped fighting after only a while, and they can't even bear such casualties, which is really disappointing to this king."
Looking at Hauge who laughed, Dolgon frowned secretly, this Hauge just repelled the tail of the Dahua army's attack, and the people are just temporarily retreating, and they will definitely attack again later, Hauge is so frivolous, how can such a person become the future master of my Qing Dynasty.
However, Dorgon also knew that now was not the time to deal with Hauge, so he ordered the surrounding soldiers to hurry up and prepare their bows and crossbows for the next attack of the Great Chinese Army.
Hearing the sound of Zu Dashou Mingjin withdrawing his troops, Li Yan, who was supervising the battle in the back, looked as usual, but Wu Sangui and the others on the side frowned slightly. In the siege battle just now, Zu Dashou and others did suffer a lot of losses, and they had lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but this loss was nothing to Zu Dashou's army of more than 10,000. How could he retire from the army so quickly, you must know that Zu Dashou made a military order with the superintendent.
If he retired so quickly, he would be too sorry for his title of Liaodong general.
Just when Wu Sangui and the others were puzzled, Zu Dashou came to Li Yan and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiyu, the Tartars are cunning, hiding behind the city wall and shooting my Dahua soldiers with a bow and crossbow. ”
"Oh, I don't know what General Zu wants?"
Zu Dashou looked at Li Yan and said word by word: "Earthquake thunder!" ”
"How much?"
"The more the merrier!"
Li Yan nodded approvingly. "Everyone in the world says that General Zu is a tiger general, and today the governor finally understands that in addition to being brave, the general is also quite flexible!"
Zu Dashou bowed: "The superintendent has been awarded, and the last general has just seen my Dahua soldiers use this kind of sharp weapon, so he came to ask the superintendent to give him a sharp weapon, so that the last general can use it to kill the enemy." ”
"Hmm" Next to Li Yan, the brows of Li Yuan, Wang Zhi, Wei Jiang and other generals secretly furrowed. What is called "I have seen my Dahua soldiers use this kind of sharp weapon", this ancestor Dashou means that Li Yan is unfair. I didn't give him such a sharp weapon.
Li Yan first looked at Zu Dashou quietly, and then the corners of his mouth turned up. laughed: "Hahaha, so it's the official's, that's good, the official will immediately allocate 50,000 earth-shattering thunders to you for siege and fortification." ”
Zu Dashou was overjoyed, and thanked him: "Thank you for your love, Dashou dare not to repay him with death!" ”
Li Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go ahead!" I hope to see you take down the outer city of Shengjing today, if the kingdom can do so. What if the Governor remembers you? ”
"Thank you, Lord for your love!" Zu Dashou was overjoyed, and after receiving Li Yan's warrant, he hurried down with his subordinates.
Looking at Zu Dashou's figure, Li Yuan said stupidly: "I didn't expect him to snatch the first merit of the siege, if I let my second army attack, the outer wall would have been captured a long time ago, and it would have been delayed for so long!" ”
"Shut up!"
Li Yan glared at Li Yuan and reprimanded in a low voice: "General Li." You are also an old man in the army, and it is better to say less about this kind of words that are not conducive to the unity of the robe in the future, otherwise the governor will not be able to spare you. ”
"Yes!"
Seeing the anger flashing in Li Yan's eyes, Li Yuan stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. He is a bad person, otherwise he would not have been taught a good lesson by Pang Gang for this reason, and he has not changed it so far.
It is said that Zu Dashou and others came to the baggage camp, showed Li Yan's warrant, and mobilized 50,000 sky-shaking thunderbolts to their own army and distributed them to the soldiers.
The use of Heaven-Shaking Thunder is very simple, you can light the fuse and throw it out, so there is no need for special training.
Before the siege, the two artillery battalions commanded by Dong Guo bombarded the city wall for another quarter of an hour, and then a battalion of riflemen lined up a long snake formation outside the city and shot at the targets on the city wall that dared to move, and the city bricks on the city wall crackled.
The two brothers, Zu Dashou and Zu Da Congee, stood at both ends of the city wall, brandished the long knife in their hands and shouted: "Sons, rush! ”
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the fierce drums behind them began to sound, and countless soldiers rushed past the figures of the two of them towards the city wall.
And this time the siege soldiers did not receive too much return fire, and the Qing army also learned to be obedient, no one would recklessly poke out of the battlements to target the Dahua riflemen, but obediently shrank behind the city wall, waiting for the Dahua soldiers to jump into the thick city wall and then shoot them with bows and arrows.
It's just that this time the Qing army miscalculated, standing behind the city wall, they were waiting for not the figure of the Dahua army, but the black iron bumps that flashed with tongues of fire.
"Boom Boom Boom"
When the first thunderbolt began to appear on the city wall, the Qing soldiers found out that the Dahua army actually used a new weapon, of course, this weapon can not be said to be a new weapon, the Qing army has long known that the Dahua army has a weapon thrown by hand, called the thunder, melee power is quite powerful.
However, although this kind of earth-shaking thunder is powerful, the throwing distance is quite short, so the Qing army does not pay much attention to it, but the scene that happened in front of them today has subverted their understanding of the previous combat mode.
When the thunderbolt was used on a large scale, it was so terrible, and in a burst of explosions, the Japanese army that had been waiting for it was blown up, and it was embarrassed.
"Oh no, we're in danger."
Seeing such a scene, Dolgon and the others, who were commanding from a distance, were also dumbfounded, damn, we have all withdrawn inside, why are you still not reluctant, you have to take the outer city today.
Due to the large number of Qing troops on the city wall, the unprepared throwing just now has caused a large number of Qing army deaths, and the shrapnel and shock wave flying everywhere after the explosion have also caused many Qing soldiers to die.
Seeing that countless Qing soldiers continued to fall, Dolgon, Hauge and others were anxious, and one by one they excitedly ordered the archers to pay attention to observe, and if any Dahua soldiers came up to the city wall, they would shoot them down.
But to their disappointment, Dahua's foot soldiers did not climb the city wall, but hid on the ladder outside the city wall and kept throwing earth-shattering thunder on the city wall.
This time it was their lives, and the Qing army fell in the explosion, but when they were dying, they couldn't even see the opponent's figure, not to mention how aggrieved they were.
"Quick, hand over the Heaven-Shaking Thunder."
On the ladder near the battlement of the city wall, the soldiers were handing the unclear earth-shaking thunder one by one, and the top one was holding the torch and the ladder with one hand, and the other hand grabbed the sky-shaking thunder and threw it vigorously on the city wall.
These Jinzhou soldiers are all people who followed Zu Dashou in the former Ming Dynasty, and this morning they were hidden by the Qing army on the city wall and shot with bows and crossbows for a long time, killing and wounding thousands of brothers. Thanks to their efforts, the earth-shattering thunderbolts rained down on the city one after another.
The explosion sounded for a while, and a thick cloud of smoke billowed from the entire city wall, and puffs of black smoke enveloped the entire city wall, and even people could not be seen in places with a lot of smoke.
"Alright, don't throw it away, hurry up to the city wall!"
The officers who were supervising the battle under the city wall saw that black smoke was already billowing from the city wall, and hurriedly shouted loudly for the soldiers to hurry up the city wall.
At this time, due to the black smoke on the city wall, the Qing army that survived the explosion was much slower to react because the black smoke blocked their vision, and it was too late for them to find that there was a large-scale Chinese army on the city wall.
At this time, the Dahua army had gathered a certain scale of soldiers, using shields and spears and halberds to form a formation and slowly advance towards the surroundings, and occasionally someone threw a few earth-shattering thunders from the formation, blowing up the Qing army in a hurry.
Seeing the Qing army running on the city wall, Haoge was also confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only continue to mobilize troops from the city to resist on the city wall, but this kind of refueling tactics did not play a big role, and he could only waste batch after batch of troops in vain.
Seeing that the Dahua army was pouring into the city, and the strength of the Zhenglan Banner was constantly being consumed, Dai Shan on the side was so distressed that he couldn't do it, and dissuaded: "Haoge, we can't fight like this anymore, the casualties of the Zhenglan Banner are still more than forty percent, and the Zhenglan Banner will die if it continues to fight like this." ”
"And what do you have to do?" Hauge finally had a seizure, he glared at his blood-red eyes and said, "Big Belle, you are an elder and the banner master of the Red Flag, you come to teach me, what should I do?" ”
Dai Shanchang sighed and shook his head: "Alas, up to now, the old man has no good way, it is your duty to guard the Fusheng Gate, you can do it yourself, the old man's Zhenghong Banner has already been seriously injured, and he can't help you anymore, but you can go to Prince Rui for help, maybe he will have a way." ”
"What, you asked me to go to Dolgon?"
When Hauge heard this, his hair exploded, and he almost shouted, "I will never beg him"
