Chapter 148: The Battle of Golden State (Part II)
Needless to say, it was with the help of Hanchen that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to condemn the sixth
Ning played with me, and suddenly Nurhachi and the others saw hope.
It is the medicine that is three parts poisonous, and the medicine is taken from the plant. Plants are mostly poisonous, even
Poison.
The north is rich in all kinds of poisonous plants, among which the castor bean, which is large in number and widely distributed.
According to my plan, "Nurhachi sent 30,000 soldiers to cut down trees in the Black Mountain. And got a lot of castor beans.
When preparing for a poison smoke attack. Nurhachi tried all sorts of siege methods, but they all failed. The defense of the Golden State Fortress is like an iron bucket, and with the level of technical equipment of the shoes, it is impossible to break through at all.
As a last resort, Nurhachi chose to act at night.
In the evening, the artillery brigade of the Marine Corps deployed under the city of the Pingliao army withdrew to the city, and the Pingliao army relied on the artillery and muskets on the city wall for defense. Due to the presence of the moat, the Lezi infantry could not block the muskets with bows and arrows, so the first two days of assault had no effect at all, and only increased casualties.
On the third night, Nurhachi mobilized soldiers to fill the moat, and in one night, a third of the width of the moat was filled. The next day, when Nurhachi was beaming with pride, he found that the Pingliao army had gathered tens of thousands of people at once, and soon destroyed all the fruits of Lezi's labor in one night.
Frightened, Nurhachi immediately ordered the cavalry to charge, but was met with heavy artillery fire from the city. The A.S. artillery at the head of the city, condescendingly, fired scattered and flowering shells, causing heavy casualties to the wheels.
Unable to get close to the moat during the day, Nurhachi was forced to abandon the idea.
After five days of preparation, the sixth day was the second half of the night. Le Zibing transported more than 600 truckloads of trees and firewood to the north moat of Jinzhou City, and deliberately wet the firewood and grass, so that a large amount of smoke was produced when the fire was ignited.
According to Ning Play My plan, on the first day, only ordinary firewood and grass would be lit and the Liao army would be smoked with thick smoke. After the next day, they began to quietly mix in poisonous plants such as castor grass, which would make the Pingliao army overwhelmed.
Nurhachibei took Ning to play my Jianyì, and on the sixth day began to siege the city during the day.
Thick smoke obscured the sky, and the fire began to burn in the second half of the night, and it became a prairie fire
Fire.
The smoke was blown by the wind to the Golden State Fortress, and the Marine artillery on the south side of the moat could not see the target clearly. Lin Feng had to transfer them all back to the city.
And use the artillery on the city walls to bombard the fire, intending to extinguish the fire.
Ning Wan I have long considered that the Pingliao army will use artillery to extinguish the fire, so when adding firewood and grass, all kinds of oil are poured to make it difficult for the artillery to blow up the fire.
Soon, it was eight o'clock in the morning. Smoke had poured up the walls of the city to the top of the city. As a result, the artillery on the head of the city could not see the coordinates of the circle outside, and soon even the movement of Lezi could not be seen clearly.
Knock knock!
The God of War artillery at the head of the city still kept firing, but it was not self-marked bombardment.
Seeing this, Nurhachi immediately ordered the army to carry sandbags, quickly approached the moat of the Golden State Fortress, and began to fill the moat.
Although the smoke was billowing and the visibility was only a few meters, the sound of the moat could still be heard.
On the drum tower, Lin Feng and others covered their mouths and noses with their clothes. The smoke choked their tears and involuntarily stained the corners of their eyes, and soon they became a pattern composed of black and gray.
"Concentrate artillery fire on the moat!"
Knowing that his godson had filled in the moat, Lin Feng could only order the city defense artillery to open towards his own moat
Finish.
Although there was no accuracy, hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire, and the screams of the leptons were still bursting. The casualties were significant.
You have a good plan, he has a wall ladder.
I have to admit that equipment is the first choice of war, but the most important thing is the people themselves.
Ning played with me to come up with this strategy, how primitive and clumsy it looked, but it made it impossible for the superior artillery of the Pingliao army to play normally.
"It can't go on like this!"
Lin Feng saw the city defense army in front of him clearly, and one by one they were choking on the smoke and coughing, while the marine infantry were originally clean and white military uniforms. At this time, it was all gray and black, and all the soot that fell from the sky was sooth, and soon the Golden State Fortress was filled with a layer of soot more than an inch thick.
In the thick smoke, there were a lot of poisonous gases, and in less than an hour, more than a dozen unconscious soldiers appeared in the Pingliao army.
"The moat can't be held!"
Li Han, an artillery junior who retreated, looked at the thick smoke in front of him, his eyes full of worry. Major Zhan Zengyong said: "Why don't you open the city gate. I'll take the black armor spirit to rush and kill! β
"What's the hurry?" Lin Feng coughed twice. Said: "What if the godson fills the moat? Our city is twelve meters high, how can shoes climb up so easily? Besides, the smoke from the shoes blocked the view of our artillerymen, but if the godson wanted to attack the city, the smoke would have to choke them first! β
Wang Dingdao: "That's what I said! β
Lin Feng said: "Take turns to send people to watch from the city." The other soldiers withdrew first to rest! Order all artillery to carry out an indiscriminate attack on the outside of the city from time to time! β
Originally, Lin Feng also planned to leave the medium and long-range artillery at the end, and when the killer steel was used, he was caught off guard. At this time, I can't take care of it so much, so I will prevent my shoes from taking advantage of the smoke to charge the army.
Knock knock!
On the north wall of the Jinzhou Fortress, there are fifty three-thousand-pound Longwei cannons and one hundred and fifty God of War cannons. In addition, the eight 5,000-pound Longwei cannons on the east and west corner towers carried out indiscriminate shelling of the outside of the city.
One shell after another followed the artillery recoil. Rushed out of the barrel of the cannon, and suddenly sank into the smoke. There are solid iron factories of various weights with a long range, and the distance between the corpses and Zhejiang, after flowering and scattering, it is not clear whether there is any horror. Ship noon target. But you can hear the screams of the Lezi people turning over on their backs.
At first, Nurhachi thought that the Pingliao army had broken through the smoke barrier, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army. Later, it was discovered that the Pingliao army was just shooting blindly, and opened fire with the idea of beating rabbits with grass.
Although it also caused a large number of casualties to the shoes, it did not stop Nurhachi's madness.
Soon, the moat was filled. A passage three hundred meters wide was opened for the godson's army, enough for the army to quickly cross the moat and then launch an offensive along the northern city walls of the Golden State Fortress. The plan is going very well, so Nurhachi can't wait for two days to release the poisonous smoke. Immediately order people to burn the prepared poisonous flowers and poisonous plants.
Poisonous smoke soon appeared, blowing along the north in the direction of Jinzhou. Mixed with the smoke from before. Without knowing it, he climbed to the top of the city.
The poisonous gas produced by the incineration of poisonous plants is not very toxic, but it is dizzying enough that it will soon be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. It's similar to motion sickness.
Soon, at the head of the city, there were more and more people coughing in the Pingliao army, and the rotation time was getting shorter and shorter. The times are getting more and more frequent.
Afternoon: Around o'clock, the first case of death by suffocation appeared, followed by more and more soldiers vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, and death in the city.
"It doesn't feel right!"
Captain Qian Shun came up from the rear and asked Lin Feng about the situation. The doctors, who had been going to treat the wounded, were surprised to see the corpses of soldiers who had died without wounds, and when they found that the soldiers' skin was full of red rashes and patches of bloat, the doctors judged that it was chronic poisoning
"Poisoned?"
Lin Feng and the others, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are full of surprise.
"Poisonous smoke!"
Everyone suddenly thought of going together.
"What a ruthless sler!"
"What should I do?"
"Hurry up and find a way!"
"What was I thinking? What are you urging! β
Seeing that the frequency of artillery attacks of the Pingliao army was interval, the experienced Nurhachi already knew that the poisonous smoke worked.
So he ordered the godson infantry army to quietly push twenty siege chariots, ten cloud ladders, and hundreds of hook ladders to quickly advance to the position where the smoke was released, and at the same time, the cavalry was ready to release bows and arrows to suppress the artillery fire of the Pingliao army.
Among the ordinary people in the Jinzhou Fortress, many of them were the Ming army who escaped from the Battle of Salhu that year, and they were disarmed and returned to the fields to become ordinary people.
Experienced people immediately soaked their mouths and noses with thick cloths, and some used children's urine to expel poison according to the saying of warding off evil spirits.
"It is said that the urine of a child can ward off evil spirits!".
"Where do you get so much boy urine?"
Qian Shun said: "The doctor said that the poisonous gas produced by burning firewood and grass is similar to the itching in the mountains and forests. In the past, I heard that ordinary people could hide from the funeral gas in the mountains and cover their mouths and noses with soaked diapers! β
With diapers?
Lin Feng looked at the generals. One by one, they all shook their heads.
At this time, the sentry at the head of the city shouted, and the shoes began to attack.
"There's no time!"
Lin Feng can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor at this time. He immediately ordered: "The whole army immediately covers their mouths and noses with diapers and prepares to meet the enemy!" β
"What are you doing in a daze? Slip a little! β
The generals had no choice but to go down one after another to give orders.
The soldiers of Jiben were embarrassed and covered their mouths and noses with diapers, this
Evil two
Just thinking about it makes me throw up!
"If you don't want to die, hurry up!"
There was no way to save their lives, and when the soldiers saw that the generals soaked their clothes with their own urine and covered their mouths and noses, they did the same.
Not to mention, after wearing the "mask" full of the smell of his own urine, one by one suddenly shivered smartly, and his mouth and nose were stimulated and he couldn't think soberly.
"Ready!" β
"Fire!"
When the order was given, the cannon roared and deafened, and countless shells were overwhelmingly fired into the smoke.
In an instant, the godson infantry was hit by an aimless shell, and the county body was smashed to pieces, and the shell smashed to the ground, and a deep trench was immediately drawn. The shoe near the left is either dead or injured. For a while, the blood flowed like a river.
Boom Boom!
The flowering bombs that fell from the sky fell into the Lezi phalanx, and exploded violently, and in an instant, the violent explosion raised clouds of fire, which turned into mushroom clouds. The violent shock wave, wrapped in fragments of artillery shells, sand, gravel and dust, knocked the godson within a radius of more than ten meters into the air, and most of them were killed instantly, and countless godsons were injured by the explosion fragments. Suddenly, more scattered bullets fell like a dense rain, and those who were shot all screamed and stacked. Piercing.
The Pingliao army could not see the miserable situation of the godson, because of the thick smoke. But Nurhachi and the others on the other side saw it clearly.
Nurhachi covered his wounds, trying to calm his anger, if he did not hold back at this time and died on the battlefield, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the army preparing to attack the city.
At this time, Nurhachi had to wait until revenge before dying, and he was also responsible for the morale of the whole army.
"Father Khan!" Dai Shan said worriedly: "The Ming army does not seem to have lost its combat effectiveness!" Let's wait! β
Wait?
Nurhachi shook his head, he couldn't wait. He knows his physical condition best. He just couldn't swallow it. That's why we have to save some face before we die.
"The trapped beast is still fighting!" Nurha Equator: "This is their last resistance!" β
Dai Shan and Aji. Dorgutai and the others looked at each other, and they were all China's shaking to make Amin's people on!
As soon as several people made eye contact, they immediately secretly restrained their subordinates not to work too hard to attack the city, but to let Amin's Zhenglan Banner be the main attack.
"Stop the toxic smoke! Offensive! β
The order was given, and the shoes quickly doused the fire pile, and at the same time, the godson infantry pushed the cupboard, the ladder, and the hook ladder to quickly rush to the foot of the Golden State Fortress.
Compared with the previous siege, the siege used Tsubaki carts and hook ladders. This time, Nurhachi had six or seven days, and the Golden State Fortress was high and deep, and its defense was strong, so it was necessary to erect a ladder.
A ladder is a tool for climbing city walls. It is composed of three parts: wheel, ladder body and hook. The ladder body can be lifted up and down, and it can be carried and leaned on the city wall by manpower; There is a hook at the top of the ladder, which is used to hook the edge of the city; Wheels are installed under the ladder and can be moved. The ladder base frame is made of wood and has six wheels underneath. The ladder body is fixed to the chassis at a certain angle, and a movable "auxiliary ladder" is added to the main elevator. "There is a pair of rollers at the top, and when you climb the city, the ladder can move freely up and down along the city wall, and you don't need to carry it on your shoulders. Meantime. Because the main elevator adopts a fixed device, the ladder erection procedure is simplified and the ladder erection time is shortened. When the army is attacking the city, it only needs to stop the main ladder under the city, and then set up a secondary ladder on the main ladder to "sleep on the city." "This reduces the danger and difficulty of erecting a ladder in front of the enemy. In addition, since the ladder does not come into contact with the edge of the castle too early before ascending the castle, it can also avoid the destruction of the defenders.
The bottom of the ladder is designed as a model with shields on all sides, and the outside is reinforced with raw cowhide, so that when the personnel push the cart in the shed and approach the enemy city wall, they can effectively resist the damage of the enemy's arrows. There are many types of ladders used for siege in ancient times, and the ladder is a huge, bulky, and complex structure. Originally, the godsons didn't need it, but in the face of the Golden State Fortress, if they wanted to get to the city quickly, Nurhachi had no other way, and finally had to do it.
At this time, although the poisonous smoke was extinguished, the smoke was still whirring and could not be dissipated for a while. The shoes took the opportunity to attack.
The godson pushed the cart and the ladder, carried the hook ladder through the smoke, and the cavalry swarmed to attack. A salvo of 10,000 arrows.
On the city wall, the arrow is like a re-note, the hanging card on the front of the drum tower is like a hedgehog, and many people and soldiers in the city can't dodge, and they are hit by arrows one after another.
However, fortunately, the Golden State Fortress is high, and most of the godson's arrows are shot on the city wall, crackling and jingling, but there are only a few that enter the city. So that the Pingliao army narrowly avoided the first
Close.
"Watch for secrecy!"
On the drum tower, the random arrow just now almost shot Lin Feng and the others into a hornet's nest.
Lin Feng ordered: "Lezi has arrived in the city, the artillery is useless, prepare fire oil and thunder stones!" The Marines landed in the city".
The Pingliao army was defended by the Jinzhou fortress, and the musketeers were not afraid of the cavalry under the city, but also could use the two-meter-high female wall to avoid arrow shots.
The godson concentrates his forces. Attack the main gate of the North City. Xie Yi, Jiang Chunhui, and Liao Jianjun led the troops to hold on. Liu Feng and Ben Qiqi led the army to help. The Pingliao army fired with fire oil, stones, muskets and artillery.
Because the walls of the Jinzhou Fortress are very long, after Lezi crossed the moat, when he attacked the central position of the front, he was attacked by both sides, and he suffered many casualties.
Amin's blue flag desperately attacked the main entrance. However, Daishan, Azig and others led their troops to move to the east side of Beicheng. In this way, Amin shares most of the damage from the attack, while they carve the city where the firepower is weak.
At this time, the smoke gradually thinned out the two corner towers in the east and west of the right Jinzhou Fortress because they were more than 20 meters high, and when the smoke thinned, they immediately understood the direction of the godson's siege.
The four Longwei cannons on the corner tower suddenly turned around and shelled Lezi's cabinets and ladders and other big targets from the flanks.
Defend the city with artillery, and acroplize the city with artillery.
Knock knock!
The firelight on the corner platforms on both sides flickered, and the cannonballs weighing twenty-eight pounds flew in a whistling manner, instantly shattering a cloud ladder, and the Lezi soldiers on it fell from the air more than ten meters high, screaming miserably
Ring.
However, Nurhachi gave the order to die, and the godsons had to withstand the fierce artillery fire of the Pingliao army. Cover with cupboards, dig holes and blow up the city. They don't have any modern demolition machines, and they can only use big axes to chisel the city. In the past, the Ming army fortress was thin and thin, and after digging a hole not deep, it could be exploded by burying explosives.
Now in front of the Golden State Fortress, he is dumbfounded. Blowing up a small hole will not affect the city wall. On the contrary, the Pingliao army fired muskets, threw orange stones, and poured fire oil, causing them heavy casualties.
At the head of the city, the Marines formed three rows behind the women's wall, taking turns to shoot. At such a close distance, the high-powered Mushket musket made in Spain can sometimes penetrate the corpses of three people, and the lethality is amazing.
The corpses of the godson continued to accumulate, and after the siege equipment was damaged, they were covered by corpses, and gradually built a ladder composed of corpses.
The smoke gradually subsided, and after the direction of the godson's main attack was determined, Lin Feng immediately mobilized the defenders on the entire city wall to reinforce the weak links.
The city defense artillery organized artillery to carry out blocking fire on the follow-up troops of the godson in the position where there was no rescue attack, so as to prevent the light army from reinforcing the siege troops and reduce the pressure on the defenders on the city wall.
In this way, there were fewer and fewer soldiers besieging the city, but the follow-up troops were blocked by dense artillery fire, and reinforcements could not come up, so the angry Nurha stomped his feet naked.
Lin Feng saw that Lezi's reinforcements were blocked, and the siege soldiers were less than three thousand, so he immediately said excitedly: "Open the city gate, and the black armor elite cavalry will attack."
Thank you for the valuable monthly tickets voted by friends such as the Han nation, the naughty Weiwei, and the wolves from the north! D
