Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Two rows of soldiers in iron armor and iron armor stepped out of the camp with heavy steps, each foot stomping on the ground like a heavy hammer hitting the ground, and the iron armor leaves collided and rattled.
Ma Shiying stroked his short hair with his right hand, and stood there without moving, in the end, he was the governor of Fengyang, and he had sat in the auxiliary seat.
The heavily armored samurai rushed until he was ten paces away from Ma Shiying, and suddenly stopped, divided into two columns on the left and right, and gave way to a road two zhang wide in the middle, standing with his head upright, like a spear stuck in the ground.
"Makkobu!" Zhai Zhe flashed out from behind the armor, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly hurried to speed up his pace, "It's too late for the last general to greet him!" ”
"Mr. Zhai!"
Ma Shiying's reserved hand.
"Please speak in the camp of the Ma Ge Ministry, I have long heard that the Ma Ge Department Fuyang, due to the urgent military situation, I have not had time to go to visit!"
Zhai Zhe was half a step behind Ma Shiying and accompanied him into the camp.
He has never lost the general's courtesy to Wenchen, of course, only on the surface. Zong Mao wrote a letter for half a day, saying clearly the quarrel in the Lu Wangfu of Shaoxing Mansion, and even wrote it vividly who scolded a few swear words. Zhai Zhe looked very happy, and he couldn't imagine that those civil officials who were only eight years old, eight years old, and five cars were like village shrews arguing in the cabinet.
"Ma Gebu, in recent days, the Qing captives have been attacking Hangzhou more and more tightly, and I can hear the roar of iron cannons on the other side of the river in the camp, I am really restless, and I only hope that King Lu will take office as the supervisor of the country, and contact Guangdong and Huguang to attack the Qing captives in order to relieve the pressure on Hangzhou!"
The two talked as they walked, and Zhai Zhe led Ma Shiying to inspect the military camp.
Turning the gate, shouting was heard in the distance.
"Hold your chest up, hold the barrel of the gun with both hands, shake hands hard, and put your arms softly. Listen to me! ”
"One-two, thorn! One, two, receive! ”
Facing the open grassland, the rebels who had just entered the barracks from all over eastern Zhejiang were practicing under the scorching sun. Sergeants and soldiers were mostly equipped with spears, and only a very small number of soldiers who were transferred to the heavily armored infantry battalion had Qi knives, not to mention bird guns and bows and arrows.
The Ning Shaowei Institute has recruited many craftsmen over the years, but they alone cannot equip tens of thousands of troops with firearms such as birds. Most of the bird guns received by the Nanjing Ordnance Institute cannot be used, and they still need to be returned to the furnace for reprocessing, so the slogan of the armed firearms in recent years has been shouted loudly, in fact, there are only more than 10,000 bird guns, most of which are in the city of Hangzhou. These newly recruited soldiers could only be simple when they practiced, and Zhai Zhe slowly tried to figure out a way.
"Donghai Bo's command is really a brave soldier, and the Ming Dynasty is only afraid that he will have to rely on the general to reorganize the rivers and mountains."
Ma Shiying's sycophants are not clever, too revealing traces, because he really can't hold back. A year ago, he became the seat of Hongguang Chaofu with the support of the four towns in Jiangbei, and now he still has this opportunity.
"Ma Gebu, I praise it, although there are many people in our army, most of them are newly recruited recruits, and the food and salary are insufficient, and the soldiers and armor are insufficient, and they are just holding on here with a breath!"
The speaker has an intention, and the listener has an intention.
After walking a few steps, Ma Shiying was impatient and said: "The Qing soldiers are coming to the city of Hangzhou, and the top priority is to hold Hangzhou. If Hangzhou loses, it will not be able to support the endgame only by relying on the mountainous areas of eastern Zhejiang and the remote corner of Ningshao. The provinces in eastern Zhejiang and Ningshao and other places should fully support the general army, instead of grinding and chirping there to this day. ”
No matter what kind of heart he has, this sentence is to the point, he has a very bad reputation in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, but in fact he is not an incompetent person, when he was the governor of Fengyang, he also resisted Li Zicheng's partial teacher.
Zhai Zhe spread his hands, "Wait for King Lu to take office as the superintendent of the country, so that he can give me military salaries!" ”
"At present, it is a critical moment, and the money and grain in several places in eastern Zhejiang should be uniformly deployed by Zhai's general army, so as to facilitate action, encourage soldiers, and resist the Qing captives. If the soldiers in front of you fight desperately and bloodily, can't eat enough to cut off their heads, and can't get money for their lives, how can they reassure the army. Ma Shiying was indignant.
These words of the Dema Pavilion Department warmed the hearts of the sergeants. I would like to ask the Cabinet to make it easier for me in the Cabinet, and I would be grateful to the Cabinet for the end! ”
Ma Shiying sighed and was about to talk about his suffering.
Zhai Zhe didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said: "General Soldier Fang used to be the General Soldier of Eastern Zhejiang, and he also confronted Qing Yu in Fuyang, King Lu should not only remember me and forget him." ”
This sentence was very abrupt, and Ma Shiying looked at Zhai Zhe thoughtfully.
Zhai Zhe said one sentence after another.
"It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk about government politics as a martial artist!" After a brief foreshadowing, his subsequent voice was sonorous and powerful, as sharp as when the Qi knife was unsheathed.
"The rebellion of the Ming Dynasty is the chaos of party strife. At the time of the survival of the country, the courtiers should get rid of their selfishness, no matter who should focus on fighting together against the captives, if they are selfish again, the party will fight against each other, and my sons will not fight for those people. ”
These words are being said to Ma Shiying, and they are also the true thoughts in Zhai Zhe's heart. He is hinting at Ma Shiying, and he is also warning Ma Shiying. Although he has not said anything to King Lu so far, as long as he says it now, Zhedong is afraid that no one will dare to take it seriously.
There was a brief silence.
Ma Shiying thought deeply for a while, his eyes lit up, and he nodded busily. He quickly figured out that Zhai Zhe was he slamming the Donglin Party for excluding him.
"That's exactly how it should be."
Ma Shiying only stayed in the camp in Xiaoshan for one day, and Zhai Zhe sent thirty cavalry to escort him to Fuyang.
wanted to support Ma Shiying into the cabinet, but Zhai Zhe would not come forward himself, so he asked him to find Fang Guoan to write a book. Without Ma Shiying, who is a eunuch, what does he use to fight the Donglin Party in the cabinet. He asked for money, and it had to be taken out of the pockets of those Donglin parties.
Seeing off Ma Shiying at the gate and returning to the big tent, there was a thunderous roar in the distance.
"Is the siege starting again?" Zhai Zhe took a sip. From the day the cannon sounded, his heart had never been steady. The 120,000-strong army of Qing captives, almost all of whom were battle-hardened veterans, and had the advantage of artillery fire, he really wanted to go to Hangzhou in person.
"Boom-boom-boom!" The cannon body was continuous, and the soldiers who were training in the battalion also became half-hearted.
"Thorn!" Yuyao's Sun Jiaji roared, his eyes were full of heat, and he couldn't wait to come to the battlefield in person.
"Close!" Zheng Zunyu of Shaoxing screamed angrily, and his strong muscles pushed up the breastplate.
They are all children of rich families, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they can't see the injustices in the world, so of course they won't shave their heads and be slaves.
Zhai Zhe picked the right place, Zhedong is such a good man!
Hangzhou.
"Boom-boom-boom!"
The iron ball slammed into the iron gate of the north gate with a white light that could be caught by the naked eye.
"Smack!" There was a loud bang, and a hole the size of the face was blasted open in the middle of the five-inch-thick iron door
The iron ball was still churning in the air, with the sound of whirring wind, hitting the walls of the urn city, and after the piercing collision sound, it rebounded and slowly stopped in the urn city, becoming a large discus.
"Smack!" The sound was like a cannon, and it could not be stopped at the beginning, and the soldiers who looked at the city covered their chests, and their hearts seemed to burst with each sound.
After half an hour's effort, the north gate was bombed.
Feng Qin's face was pale, and now he looked at the battle the day before yesterday and just gave off the aroma before eating.
"Clear-capture-siege-city!" The lookouts at the head of the city waved their flags, and their shouts were long and mournful.
"Five hundred steps!"
"Three hundred steps!"
"Uptown!" Yuan Qizhou pulled out a thick knife.
The sword and shield men went first, the archers and the birdmen followed, and the pikemen followed behind and went up to the city in turn.
"It's in the city!" The watchman's voice was the loudest, but in fact, he only needed to let Feng Qin hear it.
Finally, a group of shirtless soldiers carried all kinds of equipment to defend the city, some carried a large iron pot, some carried bricks and firewood, and the action was swift to build the iron pot at the head of the city, and ignite the piled firewood.
Under the scorching sun of the stove-like barbecue, the raging flames rose to the sky, licking the black iron pot recklessly, and after a while, the black oil in the pot began to flow.
Feng Qin finally walked up to the city, and the city was greeted by the people who were still scattered in front of the city.
These Duoduo were around to arrest villagers who had not yet been shaved. Jiangnan has a population, whether they are reluctant or not, they have now become accomplices of the Qing Dynasty. The moat connecting the Qiantang River cannot support the landfill of tens of thousands of people. These people finished their work and immediately became the meat scraps of the siege. Zhai Zhe erected a banner of refusal to shave, and the people who died because of it will be remembered by millions. Feng Qin's eyes were calm, but his right hand trembled slightly, and the people who had not shaved at this time were all good men of Daming, and he wanted to kill these people with his own hands.
The people were followed by loosely formed archers, and in the gaps of the archers were interspersed with armor warriors carrying ladders.
The besieging soldiers did not move quickly, and every step was steady.
The head of the city was almost entirely filled with the first batch of soldiers recruited by Zhai Zhe in Dongyang and Yiwu, they were fearless, but they were the first to face such a fierce battlefield.
Yesterday's smell of blood came just in time, and Duoduo used hundreds of civilians to make the guards understand the cruelty of this battle.
Yuan Qizhou glared at the leather boots, patrolled behind the guard, slapped his chest and shouted: "Don't worry, listen to the order." ”
These people had only fought against the Baitou army in Xudu, and the Baitou army was even different from the four towns in Jiangbei compared to the Qing army. In order to cope with the siege of the first few days, Feng Qin mobilized half of the old backbones of the army to go to the city to command.
"Bang!" There was a bang.
The scattered sound of guns everywhere sounded in twos and threes, followed by them.
There was a gunner who watched the flooded helmet under the city gradually approaching from the battlement, and he couldn't hold it back, so he let go of it. This sound was like a fuse, and a few people couldn't hold back and followed him closely.
Before the Qing captives could make a move, the silent military formation was like a boulder pressing on the chest of the defenders.
Yuan Qizhou strode over a few times, grabbed the first to release the gun, and opened his big mouth with a stubbled beard, "Didn't you hear my words, no order, no guns!" ”
Spit flew across the face of the hand, who was already nervous, and his legs were like chaff sifting.
"Stand up straight! What a shame on me Ning Shaojunzhen! Yuan Qizhou let go of his arm. Load up your ammunition and look down at the city to see if you're growing eggs. ”
Before his words fell, his ears said, "Pounce!" With a bang, the iron arrow crashed through the battlement and hit the wooden shield beside him, and the arm of the shield-wielding soldier tightened. Then the long arrow was like the raindrops of a rainstorm in June, from distant to dense, hitting the bluestone bricks, wooden shields and soldiers' **.
Yuan Qizhou looked at Feng Qin, but Feng Qin did not react.
Bird guns are not as accurate as bows and arrows, and they have little advantage in shooting against archers at the head of the city. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the captives to reach the range and cast the density at the same time to achieve the best attack effect.
The defenders were nervous, but so did the besieging captives.
The silent head of the city is like a giant axe ready to be prepared in the eyes of the besieging Qing captives, which is suffocating.
