Chapter Ninety-Three: Deadly Artillery
"The military advisor is right, we must force the Tartars back, otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for us......" Wang Feng responded with a solemn face.
Subsequently, he continued: "But we have more than 1,800 catties of explosives in our hands, even if they are all used for ** bags, it is impossible to cause fatal damage to the Tartars...... How do you force the Tartars back? ”
The answer to this question is not only what Wang Feng wants to know, but also Zhou Shuyuan and Zhao Yun.
At this moment, Wei Zheng, who was in deep thought, suddenly came up with a word.
"What do you think is the most important thing for the current Doer......
"Artillerymen, of course, General, that's what you just guessed. With artillery, Duo Er Roll can suppress us with artillery fire, so that our firearms troops will lose room to fight back, and take advantage of the situation to attack us......" Wang Feng replied with a hint of puzzlement.
Wei Zheng nodded and continued: "In that case, do you think that if we blow up the artillery unit of the Tartars...... Will the Tartars be forced to retreat by us because of the loss of artillery units? ”
Zhou Shuyuan's eyes lit up, and he replied thoughtfully: "It's very likely to ......"
"As you said, General, artillery is the only way Dorgon can break our explosives bags and firearms. The loss of artillery meant that Dolgon would have to pay very heavy casualties if he wanted to take down our Haw Par Army. ”
"He has lost almost two thousand real Tartars in the hands of our Tiger and Leopard Army. And the entire Tartar soldiers with white flags were only about 15,000 when they were full. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Duo'er to lose thousands of troops on us, and he can't afford to lose it. ”
"Coupled with the low morale of the Tartars, if the news of the destruction of the artillery units by us spreads among the Tartars again. Even if Duo Erluo wanted to continue attacking us despite his intentions, the demoralized soldiers under his command would not agree, and they would not have the courage to attack us. ”
Zhou Shuyuan's answer made Wei Zheng more confident in his thoughts, and in the face of the expectant eyes of the three of them, Wei Zheng replied loudly: "Since this is the case, then we will start with the artillery unit of the Tartars......"
"Artillery ......" Zhou Shuyuan's face just showed a trace of excitement, and then it was replaced by a hint of gloom.
Facing Wei Zheng with a puzzled face, he asked rhetorically: "General, although the idea is good, there is a problem that must be solved...... With the main forces of the Tartars blocked in front of us, how can we get out and go around behind the Tartars to sneak up on their artillery units. ”
Before Wei Zheng could speak, a strange smile had already appeared on Wang Feng's face, and he replied to Zhou Shuyuan: "Military advisor, you don't know this...... When we were bandits, we hid in this mountain......"
"I'm sure it's the best hunters around, and we don't know ...... mountain."
"The Tartars have sealed the main road, and we still have the path. Although you can't walk the war horse, there is absolutely no problem with leaving. ”
Seeing that the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan was about to say something, Wei Zheng directly waved his hand and said, "Military advisor, don't say it, this matter is settled." I can say with certainty that as long as we make good use of the more than 1,000 pounds of explosives that are left in our hands, there will be absolutely no problem in destroying the Tartar artillery positions. ”
After speaking, Wei Zheng, whose face gradually became stern, decisively ordered: "In this sneak attack, the spear battalion, the artillery battalion, the Huzun artillery team, and the cavalry battalion all participate in the battle. The musket battalion, the recruit battalion stayed at Mushroom Valley, and the military division commanded you. I will leave you 500 catties of gunpowder, and if you encounter a Tartar in the middle of the attack on Mushroom Valley, I will allow you to abandon Mushroom Valley. ”
"You have to be clear, as long as we destroy the Tartar artillery units, even if the Tartars take Mushroom Valley, they will retreat......"
In the depressed city of Zunhua, the city gate guards were just about to close the city gate, and several cavalry like the wind appeared in the field of vision of several guards.
After the entire territory of Zunhua was occupied by the Tartars, in addition to the high-ranking officers of the Tartars, there were only messengers with important news and orders left who could let their horses run wild outside Zunhua City.
So, after the deafening sound of horses' hooves reached the ears of several guards, the gate, which had already closed more than halfway, was pushed open again by several Tartars. Then, he looked at the herald who was getting closer and closer to the city gate with an expectant face, and wanted to know for the first time whether the herald had brought back the good news from the front.
To the disappointment of several guards, several Tartar cavalry did not make any sound about the good news, did not stop at the city gate, and rushed all the way into the city, rushing towards the location of the Zunhua Marshal Mansion.
After Duoer Rolling left Zunhua, the defense of Zunhua was handed over to his henchman Debao.
As a general of the army, although Debao had a high status in Houjin, because of the different culture and living habits, Debao almost never enjoyed the luxurious life of the Han people.
finally became the master of Zunhua City, and Debao certainly will not let go of this opportunity to enjoy.
As soon as Duo'er left Zunhua with his front foot, Debao's back foot began to enjoy himself.
In his opinion, after the entire territory of Zunhua falls into the hands of Houjin, there will definitely be no security problems in the huge Zunhua City.
When several heralds rushed to the Shuaifu with the order to roll over, Debao was doing a man-making campaign with a few beauties from his subordinates, and he didn't have time to pay attention to a few heralds.
It wasn't until he heard the news that several of the heralds were sent by Dolgon, that he stopped the piston movement and asked the heralds loudly through the door, "Does Lord Belle have any orders......?"
"Lord Commander, Lord Belle ordered, immediately dispatch artillery to Mushroom Valley to participate in the battle......"
After waiting for a long time and not hearing the herald's report again, Debao, who was disturbed by the herald and was holding back a breath of anger in his stomach, scolded loudly: "You still bother me with this order to the artillery...... Just send the order directly to the artillery station, order the artillery to send troops, don't bother me. ”
If Debao was in a state of sanity at this moment, he would definitely ask the herald about the situation on the front line and why Belle Ye wanted artillery support.
And when he learned of the defeat at the front, for the safety of the artillery, he would definitely send troops to escort the artillery along the way.
However, Debao, who was in a hurry to enjoy himself, did not expect to do so, because Dolgon had left him with only two oxen to defend the city......
After only coping with the order to send troops, Debao continued to immerse himself in drunken dreams and death.
Without an escort order, hundreds of artillerymen, whose combat effectiveness was almost zero, had to leave Zunhua with heavy cannons and rush to Mushroom Valley......
Both the redcoat cannon and the heavy Furlong cannon had to be transported by gun wagon because of its large body. And with the artillery carts, it meant that the Tartar artillery units could only take the main road, and the march was very slow.
And all of this, as if it was destined by God, gave the Haw Par Army a chance to destroy the Tartar artillery unit.
Debao, who is still immersed in the pleasures of drunken dreams and death, is destined to pay the price for his mistakes, and it is a very heavy price.
