Thundered!
The loud bang was deafening, and the earth shook with it, and the tall walls were also in the explosion, shaking constantly.
The sand and gravel were all over the sky, and shrapnel was flying, this was the most important gift that An ** left for the Tartars before he withdrew into the city. Six or seven hundred people were drowned in the final explosion.
Hundreds of mine grenades, as well as the Divine Fire Crow, make up two pictures of purgatory on earth.
In this picture, the performers are the living Tartars. Some people were blown to pieces, leaving only a pile of blood, some people had broken limbs and legs, their intestines were rotten, and there were human parts everywhere. There are also people who are lucky not to die, but their arms and legs have been blown off, and they are still wailing in pain on the ground.
However, the fate of these people is also doomed, with the medical level of the Qing army, there is obviously no way to treat them, and they can only let these people die in grief, even if they are hard and escape a catastrophe, they will be left with lifelong disabilities and forever lose the qualification to do evil.
The smoke outside the city has not yet dissipated, and Tang Zhanxiong and Kang Lesheng have already appeared in front of Gu Zhenhua.
"Report to the grandfather of the country, return from the mission after completing the lowly duty, and report on the current combat situation."
"Please!"
"Yes!" Kang Lesheng stood up straight and said loudly: "Our unit was ordered to resist the enemy outside the city, and after four and a half days of fighting, it is conservatively estimated that more than 4,000 enemy troops were killed and more than 6,000 wounded of all kinds, including one adjutant general, two staff generals, and countless other officers. ”
Kang Lesheng paused slightly, and then said: "Our department has also suffered quite a lot of losses. Of these, 394 soldiers were killed and more than 200 were seriously wounded. Now it has been sent to the city for rescue! ”
This casualty ratio was also expected by Gu Zhenhua, and he was still quite satisfied.
"Hahaha, you guys fought well, now go and rest immediately, the next battle is inseparable from you!"
"Yes!" Tang Zhanxiong turned around and was about to leave, but Kang Lesheng was still standing on the spot, not moving.
"Grandpa Qiyuguo, there is still a report on the humbleness."
"Say it."
"When dealing with Hu Shouliang. made use of the tunnel and achieved the effect of a surprise attack, so as to kill Wu Sangui's favorite general. He thought that when defending the city, he might have dug more tunnels to hide his troops and transport supplies. Act underground, both covertly. It's safe and has unbeatable advantages. ”
"It's good to know and learn from the lessons, Ben Jue will inform you, your task now is to rest quickly, and then defend the city. That's the real test. ”
"Ann ** will win!"
After getting Gu Zhenhua's affirmation, Kang Lesheng was very excited, and couldn't help but roar loudly, although the other soldiers who had just retreated into the city were extremely tired. I could barely open my eyelids, but I heard the voice. It's like a shot in the arm, and they chant together.
"Ann ** will win!"
"Ann ** will win!"
"Ann ** will win!"
……
The roar spread farther and farther, and the soldiers and civilians in the city shouted unconsciously, and everyone's hearts had long been free of fear of the Tartars, and some were just a heart of blood, and they hated the same enemy!
Even the Qing army outside the city heard the earth-shattering roar, and Haoge and Wu Sangui had stinky faces, not to mention how ugly they were.
Although they swept away all the breastwork fortifications, the huge casualties made them not know whether to win or lose! The bitterness in it is something that even they themselves can't understand.
After a while, Haoge looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey, if the Han people are so cunning, how can the Qing Dynasty herd horses in the Central Plains!" ”
Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, and he almost moved a knife in his heart, eager to chop Gu Zhenhua with a thousand knives and chop it into meat sauce, Yang Ming, Xia Longshan, Hu Shouliang, these henchmen and beloved generals all died in Gu Zhenhua's hands.
Every time one dies, it's like picking out the heart, not to mention that so many people have died, it almost drives the big traitor crazy!
"Lord Wang, no matter what, we have cleared the obstacle to attacking Ji County, the next step is to capture the city, no matter what the cost, we have to eat it. As long as An ** is solved, the other Ming Ting's armies are not worth mentioning. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it." Hauge said: "King Pingxi, we must work together, and there must be no prevarication and evasion." ”
"Xiao Wang understands, even if the Guan Ning Army is exhausted, I will not hesitate to do it!"
After overcoming the obstacle of the breastwork, the Qing army rested for half a day and immediately began to attack Jixian. This time, the Qing army took out all the bezoars and horses.
Shi Tingzhu's Wuzhenha battalion of 100 Shenwei general cannons were aimed at the city wall, and under the cover of artillery, the Qing army was divided into three directions and stormed Jixian.
The north gate was personally commanded by Wu Sangui, the east gate was handed over to Man Dahai, the west gate was handed over to Yang Kun, and Hao Ge personally dispatched in the center, and after the battle array was lined up, it was Man Dahai who took the lead in attacking.
When this guy attacked the chest wall, he was in a hurry, and after a few days, he had two or three injuries on his body, but he was still in good spirits and still worked hard.
"Rush, kill, kill the bright dog, and fight the world for the master!"
In the rampant shouting, the tide of Qing troops killed.
Ji County is not a simple county seat, in fact, Gu Zhenhua knows very well that once he faces the superior Qing army, if he is alone in a city, he will definitely be surrounded by the other party, and the end will be very bad.
Therefore, on the first day of An**'s arrival in Ji County, he built two small cities in the northeast and southwest respectively according to the flow direction of the Wei River and the topography of Ji County.
The two castles were purely for military use, and were connected to the walls of Jixian County, each with a radius of about two kilometers. A large amount of ammunition and food were hoarded in the city, as well as clear water wells. An urn castle was built at the junction of the city walls, and there were also tunnels underground.
Especially in the small city in the northeast, because there is a mound in the center, Gu Zhenhua and specially set up a fort here and installed ten red-coated cannons.
With these two small cities, An**'s defensive front has doubled, and the resistance ability to face the Qing army has also increased exponentially!
Now it was finally time to test the strength of this defensive line, and Man Dahai led the Qing army, stepping on the frozen Wei River, and rushed towards the small city in the northeast.
It was Xie Bin who was in charge of the Northeast City, and with a telescope in his hand, he carefully watched the movements of the Qing army, with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Brothers, the Tartars are here, do you want to eat them?"
"Eat, why don't you eat, let them have no return!"
Xie Bin laughed even more, after so many battles, he had become extraordinarily confident.
"Order, artillery ready!"
The condescending artillery had already been busy, and Tan Xingyue had been promoted to the commander of the artillery sentry because of his outstanding appearance, and he was also the commander of the Northeast Battery.
Having received the order, he hurriedly ordered the artillery to adjust the muzzle.
The fist-sized iron pellet was loaded into the barrel of the cannon, the fire shone brightly, and a loud bang was heard, and the iron crossed a graceful arc and landed right on the ice of the Wei River.
When it fell, it also passed through the chest of a Qing army, and suddenly smashed out a huge blood hole.
Boom!
The ice smashed a huge hole, and the ice surface immediately cracked, and a shield car of the Qing army just passed through guò, and a wheel immediately fell into the ice hole, and even two tartars fell into the river, and came for a winter swim.
"The sentry commander is amazing!"
The other gunners did not show weakness, and opened fire on the Qing army, ten red-coated cannons may not be able to kill and injure too many Qing troops, but they are enough to disrupt their formation and hit the morale of the Qing army.
Even Mandahai almost suffered a cannonball, and finally these Qing troops rushed across the Wei River and came to the bottom of the castle. Looking at An**'s castle, the Manchu Tartars were also dizzy for a while.
The walls of the Han people have always been square and regular, but the castle in front of them is completely different.
The castle is very high, about three feet long, full of irregular protruding edges and corners, and there is also a characteristic that the city wall is not straight up and down, but somewhat sloping, thick below and thin above.
How to look at this kind of wall, how weird.
But they couldn't help but be stunned, they could only attack desperately, pushing the shield cart, screaming, followed by the cart, and approaching the city wall as fast as possible.
As soon as they approached the city wall, they immediately felt that something was wrong, and from both directions, bullets came like a torrential rain.
The tartar screamed in pain and kept falling. This is the great thing about the diamond-shaped fortress, the wall becomes irregularly shaped, which is equivalent to increasing the contact area with the outside world.
In the past, there was only one direction of frontal fire, but now it is possible to shoot cross-fire from both sides, and the intensity of the fire has suddenly increased a lot.
The dense rain of bullets launched an unprecedented massacre against the Tartars under the city!
It's like cutting wheat, and it falls down in pieces. Luan Hu was in charge of command in the city, and he had already heard that his old partner Tang Zhanxiong had just shown his prestige and slaughtered the Tartars outside the city, killing them well.
Luan Hu had long wanted to show his skills, he held a fire gun, aimed at the tartars under the city, and immediately knocked the trigger. Immediately one of the Tartars fell to the ground and died.
"Damn, I thought you had three heads and six arms, and you were invulnerable, so let's die for Lao Tzu!"
An ** happy slaughter, but the Qing army is not vegetarian, they quickly filled the trench, rushed to the city, someone has already carried the ladder, rushed to the city, erected the ladder, and prepared to climb up.
But when they erected the ladder, it became clear that the situation was wrong, it turned out that the damned city wall was not straight up and down, but had an inclination, and the ladder could not stand at all, and it would slip if you put it up.
"I'm! This is the ...... of the castle that is missing from the descent."
Before the Tartar soldier could finish scolding, a rolling log was dropped from the city, which hit him in the head, and immediately smashed his head into the cavity, and died on the spot without saying a word.
The Tartars could not climb up, nor could they retreat, so they could only be trapped under the city, where gunfire continued to occur, and one by one they were killed. The corpses were piled up, and blood stained the walls red.
