466 Soldiers attacked
"Lord Wang, what's going on?" After the generals retreated, Fan Wencheng hurriedly asked.
A strategy to deal with the Sichuan army was formulated early on, and in the process of outflanking the Sichuan army, a large number of people were also coerced to act as cannon fodder, and the maximum loss was given to it in the case of successfully breaking the Sichuan logistics line, after all, the ammunition was used a little less, and the Qing army could be continuously supplied, Fan Wencheng never doubted that the Sichuan army could deal with it by itself if it changed its strategy, because soft-heartedness is a weakness, and only the right medicine will always have an effect, but Dolgon made this decision categorically without consulting himself after reading the urgent information of six hundred miles, One thing is certain, and that is that there was a very serious problem within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Dolgon didn't speak, and handed the crumpled information to Fan Wencheng with a look of expectation, as the first think tank of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was necessary for Fan Wencheng to know the latest situation, and he also had to listen to the opinion of this first think tank.
Fan Wencheng took it and flattened it out, his face immediately changed, the intelligence said that Shandong, Fushun, Tianjin, Henan, and Shanxi all had riots of different scales, the most serious of which was Tianlu, those rioters killed all the officials appointed by the Qing government, and all the prisoners in the prison were released, and more than 300 bannermen in the city, regardless of men, women, and children, were all poisoned, and none of them survived, and the Qing government in Beijing was busy suppressing it. For the first time, Prince Dai Shan, who was in charge of the government in Beijing, made a request to Dolgon in a letter: he hoped that Dolgon would end the war against Sichuan within a month, scatter his troops, and maintain and consolidate his control over the occupied territory.
People are actually a kind of animal with a lot of followership, when everyone is silent and obedient, they also follow the obedience, but when someone jumps out to fight, with the power of example, they will also become brave, just like Wang Er of Baishui County, Shaanxi Province took the lead in igniting the spark of the peasant uprising, and finally the peasant uprising swept the entire Central Plains, until the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is the same situation, just when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in full swing, Sichuan jumped out to suppress his momentum, and repeatedly suppressed it, eliminating people's fear of the Manchus, and it was logical to stand up and resist again.
The Qing army did not enter the customs to do good deeds, it was not uncommon for the children of the Eight Banners to oppress the people and rob the people's women and people's property, and those who took refuge in the Manchu Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners were also for glory and wealth, and the government and landlords also had to make profits, under their multiple oppression. It is easy to see how miserable the lives of ordinary people are.
Where there is oppression, where there is resistance, in order to eliminate the increasingly threatening Sichuan, the Manchu nobles sent troops, the original force is overstretched, and then the troops are forced to weaken or even give up the control of some areas, so the sequelae come out.
It's just that it came faster and more violently than Dorgon and the others expected.
The shortcomings of the insufficient strength of the Manchu Eight Banners. Once again, he was exposed to the people of the world.
Dolgon sighed, then asked calmly, "Mr. Fan, what do you think?" ”
"The Ming Dynasty collapsed so quickly, and it underestimated the determination and courage of the people to revolt from the beginning. In addition, there is an old saying in the Central Plains that the people are the water. The king is the boat, the water can carry the boat and the boat can also overturn the boat, and this riot must not be taken lightly. It is best to grasp both hands and resolutely suppress the rioting people, and the war with Sichuan must end as soon as possible. Fan Wencheng said with a straight face.
Dolgon thought about this idea, and when Dolgon heard this, he could only nod helplessly and said: "Okay, let's fight to the death with the Sichuan army, either he dies or I die." ”
With that, Dorgon slammed his fist into the mahogany round table.
Dolgon's mood is bad, as a thorn in his side, Lu Haoshan's mood is very good.
Last night, Zhong Huan really took the people out, although more than half of them were lost halfway, more than 1,000 people died on the way to escape under Li Dingguo's response, but he finally succeeded in rescuing more than 1,000 innocent people, which is a good deed and a merit, and he is naturally in a good mood when he does a good deed.
What made Lu Haoshan feel better was that Xi Zuo sent information that riots had been launched in many places under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it could be said that the fire in the backyard was definitely a huge blow to Dolgon.
Of course, this must be indispensable to Sichuan's credit, the establishment of an intelligence system early on, has been secretly fueling the flames, war is not only a contest on the battlefield, but also a competition in all aspects of national strength, economy, intelligence, strategy, etc., provoking the enemy's civil strife This is a strategy, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty provoked a riot in the land, Sichuan This is regarded as a courtesy exchange.
"Peng Peng"
"Whew"
Early the next morning, the Qing army formed a formation in front of Wujiawan, sounded the war drums, blew the horn, and began a new round of attack.
"Hey, these clear dogs don't use the people as cannon fodder."
"Well, it's possible, there were Qing soldiers to stop it last night, and there were a lot of casualties, I guess I think it has no effect, so give up."
Seeing that the Qing army no longer pushed the poor people to the battlefield as cannon fodder, a group of Sichuan army generals whispered, and some people retorted: "Why don't you use cannon fodder, those Han Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners, what are they not cannon fodder?" ”
"You see, the Qing army has begun to attack the city." Hao Feng suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted a warning.
Everyone looked, sure enough, the Qing army set out, to the surprise of the Sichuan army, the Qing army was not cavalry nor infantry, but a convoy, only to see a lot of cars pushed out from the Qing army's position, those cars were modified, either nailed thick wooden planks or built up sacks of soil, the car was in front, the Qing army hid behind the car, slowly pushing the car forward, that is, those Qing soldiers also had a small wooden shield in their hands, as much as possible to protect themselves.
I've become shrewd, and I'm no longer brutal in flesh and blood.
"Don't waste ammo, put them closer and fight." Lu Haoshan commanded loudly: "Artillery preparation." ”
The Qing army rushed closer and closer, and when these convoys were within range, Lu Haoshan shouted loudly: "Fire." ”
After a burst of the sound of igniting the fuse, there was a violent explosion in front of the position, and the vehicles of the Qing army were blown up and overturned, and the Qing army was blown up and flesh and blood, and the screams were endless, but the Qing army was not afraid of death, and there were still many carts in the war to continue to advance.
The ancient gunpowder firing is a bit complicated, each cannon fired to clean the chamber, cool down, etc., it takes a long time, and the fixed target is not bad, and those moving targets have a bad effect, after aiming, wait for the long fuse to burn out, the target has long run away, so that the momentum is good, but the actual effect is not good.
"Brothers, rush"
"Let these Sichuan dogs see how good we are."
"The general has an order, the first one to rush to the city wall will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level."
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, those Qing soldiers roared while fighting back, leaning on the back of the car to the Sichuan army on the city wall and set fire, in addition, seeing close to the city wall, some Qing soldiers threw the things on the car into the protective ditch dug in front of the Sichuan military, and after moving the things above, the car became a light crash car, and the Qing soldiers shook the world and pushed the crash car to the city wall, ready to crash the city wall.
Seeing these Qing troops rushing over, Lu Haoshan ordered loudly: "Shoot the guns, aim for me, stop firing the artillery, throw grenades, and let them rush over." ”
The grenade is not as good as the artillery in terms of range and power, but it is flexible and easy to carry, Lu Haoshan ordered the next group of soldiers to release the gun and throw the grenade, the grenade is like rain, the second round of grenades down, coupled with the pursuit of the firearms, finally the first wave of the Qing army's attack was crushed.
To Lu Haoshan's surprise, under such powerful firepower, there was also a car crashing into the city wall and slamming the city wall and gate several times, which shows one thing: firearms are not omnipotent, as long as the command is appropriate, the disadvantage of weapons can be made up for by other means.
Weapons are only a part of the war, advanced weapons can add help to success, but weapons can never determine the success or failure of the war, the main body of the war is people, on the level of science and technology, the Ming Dynasty at least threw the Manchu Qing Dynasty nine streets so far, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the last laugh.
This is the reason why Lu Haoshan still did not dare to despise the Manchu Qing Dynasty even though he had such advanced firearms.
The faces of the soldiers of the Sichuan army became solemn and serious, and a tentative attack of the Qing army made it touch the city wall, and more than a dozen people were hit by the fire guns or arrows that the Qing army fired back, which is definitely not good news, they are not as strong as they imagined, and the Qing army is not as weak as they imagined.
Seeing that the cart formation was effective, Dolgon did not hesitate, waved his hand, and the second wave of the cart formation advanced in the sound of war drums and horns, this time, the scale was larger, the number of people was larger, that is, there were more equipment, cloud carts and other things, and rushed towards the Wujiawan position of the Sichuan army, Dolgon knew that Wujiawan was the headquarters of the Sichuan army, and the most important grain depot and firearms depot of the Sichuan army were built in it, which was the soul of the Sichuan army: Lu Haoshan, the governor of Sichuan, also supervised the battle in Wujiawan.
As long as Wujiawan is taken, most of the war has been won.
This is the superiority of numbers, this is also the power of war wisdom, after the first wave of temptation, Dolgon immediately sent a second wave of larger convoys, in formation to rush towards the Sichuan position, and in the rear, the heavily armed infantry is ready to go, as soon as the order is given, they immediately rush to the Sichuan position like a tide.
This is just the high-level cannon fodder Han Eight Banners soldiers charging, and its main force, the Manchu Eight Banners, has not yet moved.
In the face of another crazy attack of the Qing army, Lu Haoshan still calmly let his subordinates bombard with artillery first, and snipe with muskets and grenades closely, seeing that more and more Qing army crashes to hit the city wall, the door that has been closed suddenly opened, and a team of agile soldiers rushed out from inside, led by Gesang, the son of Pubu, the king of Xinbo, I saw him take the lead, brandishing a scimitar and rushing into the Qing convoy (to be continued......
