Gao Zhicheng's words moved Shanahai, who was not interested in the life or death of the green battalion soldiers, and he was about to make a decision, but Balin intervened: "Lord Wang, Lord Sha, although the idea of General Gao is good, but there are only a few cannons in the firearms battalion, how can they support all sides, unless the green battalions in each province use their own artillery to support them." ”
Ba Lin's words are also reasonable, the artillery and muskets of the era of queuing up to shoot can only be effective when they are concentrated, if they are scattered, it is no different from the fireworks at the time of the New Year, at most it is just to listen to a sound, and the only Xi'an firearms battalion that can suppress the artillery fire of the Zheng army is only thirty-two two-type artillery, which is no longer enough in front of a few passages, and it is lined up.
Shanahai hesitated, saying that he was not bad in the army, but his experience did not include the large-scale use of firearms, let alone the experience of fighting the Oros in the northeast, so he lost his rules for a while.
A veteran like Shanahai can't decide whether to continue to fight for a few passages or to attack in an all-out way, let alone Nertu, who has been living in the capital to enjoy happiness, I saw this doughy prince frowning vigorously, but he couldn't hold back a word in his mouth for a long time.
At this time, the person who broke the siege finally appeared, Tong Gui stood up and said: "Lord Wang, as seen by the slaves, what Gao Zhen and Xu Zhen said is not bad, since the officers and soldiers have more troops, why not have both, use the support of the flag battalion firearms battalion to seize various passages, and use all the artillery of the green battalion to support the towns, associations, and battalions of the green battalion to fill in the trenches." ”
Shanahai couldn't help but nodded, Tong Gui was right, whether it was attacking the passage or filling the trench, both could contain Zheng Jun's attention, and no matter which side succeeded, it would be a good result for him, even if it failed, it would consume the Green Flag soldiers and the overall situation.
The idea was set, Shanahai immediately whispered a few words to Nertu, and then officially ordered: "Nanyang Town will capture the Zhengjun Gate Fortress, and the soldiers of Chuanbei Town, Huguang Tibiao, Daming Town, and Yunyang Town will fill in the trenches, and the Shanxi Capture Battalion, Fubiao Right Battalion, Huguang Military Biao, Henan Fubiao Left Battalion and other departments can be used as reserves." ”
Listening to Shanahai's order, the generals of all towns and battalions responded to the order, but if you look closely, you can see that the existing faces are written with lightheartedness, some have solemn faces, some people sigh slightly, and some people have bloodthirsty eyes showing bloodthirsty essence
The artillery of the firearms battalion of the Xi'an Banner Battalion was fired, and after adjusting the artillery position, the six main attack passages in front of Nanyang Town were fiercely bombarded by the Qing army. No, the high wall on the left side of the passage called "East Erkouzi" by the Qing army was half broken by a ten-pound cannonball; Another "west mouth" barricade was also broken by a bombardment.
The artillery on the adjacent Mamian Fort of the Zheng army also tried to counterattack, but in order to support the entire defense line, the artillery of the Zheng army was relatively scattered, so it could not suppress the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, so after fighting for a while, it automatically stopped.
At this time, the artillery of the Qing army stopped because of the need to dissipate heat, and Nanyang Town came out of the gunsmoke. Xu Dingjiang, who fought with all his might, attacked the second mouth of the West Road with the left and right battalions of the Jingzi Guan Association, attacked the second mouth of the Middle Road with the left and right battalions of the Xinyang Association, and attacked the second mouth of the East Road with the Lu battalion, Runing battalion, Deng Xinying and Xinye battalion, and took the left and right battalions of the town standard, Gushi battalion, and Xiangcheng City Garrison as the second echelon.
Just as the fierce and vicious green battalion of Henan Province rushed straight to Zhukou, the rear sentry towers of the Zheng army issued warnings one after another, and the Qing army appeared on most fronts. Carrying all kinds of sacks and cloth bags on their backs, they rushed straight to the trench with their heads down, and they had the posture of filling the obstacles in one fell swoop.
Seeing the Qing army approaching in a big way, the Zheng army, who was hiding behind the earthen wall, stood up one after another, and the platoon that met the attack suddenly resounded.
However, under the strict orders of their respective officers, the Qing troops did not care about the casualties of their comrades, and stubbornly advanced under the scorching bullets, until they threw their loads into the pond before turning around and fleeing backwards.
At this time, the Zheng army's artillery on the horse's face began to sweep away these ants, and strings of shotguns and chain bullets turned the entire battle line into a Shura field, and individual solid bullets also played a ricochet effect, causing amazing damage on a certain diagonal line. However, the Zheng army had artillery, and the Qing army also had artillery. Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the Zheng artillerymen was focused on the infantry armor that filled the trenches, the Qing gunners secretly moved all kinds of Hongyi cannons, general cannons, and Zhankou cannons forward, and then fired at the Mamian Fort that burst out in front of the earthen wall.
"This TMD is disgusting." The Qing artillery shells had different charges, so some of them hit the trenches, causing a wave of spray, and some hit the riveted concrete outer wall, shaking off a few pieces of cement coating, but it was this mostly ineffective fire that forced Zheng Jun to look away again. "Bomb these bastards first!"
As soon as the Zheng army's artillery fire was transferred, the Qing artillery couldn't stand it, although the hit rate was also not high, but under the attack of the two sectors, the bold ones still dragged the artillery back and ran back, and the timid ones directly dropped the artillery and fled backwards.
The Qing army that filled the trench wailed and fled under the rain of projectiles, but the foreign masters still felt that they were not desperate enough: "It seems that the green battalions in each town are a little perfunctory." ”
"It's natural, and it's a little aggrieved to come to the towns." Balhu responded to Juduna's words and offered advice to Shanahai. "Deputy marshal, it's not quite a big thing to use the green battalion soldiers to fill the trenches, and it's a waste of a lot, there are 100,000 people in Jingzhou City, isn't it?"
Although Kangxi's so-called integration of the Manchu and Han Dynasty is just a whitewash, although as long as it is not written in the title book that the people are driven as ants, they will not be blamed by the well-known Kangxi, but Shanahai still rejected Balhu's construction, of course, he is not compassionate or indecisive, but has other considerations: "Nonsense, do you know how many dependents of the Huguang Green Camp are in the city, and if you drive them into battle, wouldn't you want to force the Huguang Green Camp on the spot, and think about the loss of Wuchang." ”
Although not everyone's family members are in Jingzhou, at least a considerable number of middle and lower-level officers and soldiers are located in Jingzhou City, and at this moment, Shanahai does not want to arouse the anger of Huguang Green Banner soldiers, who account for one-seventh of the total strength.
Despite Shanahai's rejection, Balhu did not give up, and instead said to Nertu: "If you don't move the people in Jingzhou City, then at least you have to detain all the dependents of Cao Zhongying, the chief soldier of Yichang Town, who rebelled in Jianli." ”
Naltu was about to show that he dared to save his life, and when he heard it, he immediately promised: "As it should be, you will do it." ”
Looking at Bal Hu's elated back, Shanahai pursed his lips and didn't say anything, the clairvoyant mirror in his hand only turned straight to the battlefield where the battle was still fierce. I saw a few passages, and the blocking wood set up by Zheng Jun had been cut off by the knife and axe hands of Nanyang Town, but the end of the broken wood that fell on the ground was still inserted in the bolt hole, forming a "V" blocking structure. And the Qing army, which was still preparing to continue cutting, was knocked down one by one by the Zheng army in rows behind the gate, and the corpses alone formed a new obstacle. As for the battle for the low wall, it continued, but with the help of the fire from the high wall in the rear, the Zheng army continued to be able to suppress the actions of the Qing army.
"Who told you back?" Looking at his wife and brother who were held to the ground with their hands by the soldiers, Xu Dingjiang suddenly roared. "Get out of here, I'd rather die in the hands of Hai Reverse than let me kill you with my own hands!"
"Brother-in-law, Zongzhen, I really can't attack it!" Meng Sheng, who was the capital of the Lu clan's battalion, lifted the two personal soldiers who were holding him, and tore off his armor with his hand, revealing the wounds under his ribs that had been grazed by guns. "That wall, in order to climb that wall, the brothers were killed by firecrackers, blown up by earth-shaking thunder, stabbed to death by the spears of the sea, and the garrison of the king of Runing Camp was also killed in battle, brother-in-law, if you continue to fight, Nanyang Town will be completely destroyed."
"They are all soldiers of the imperial court, what do I feel sorry for." Xu Dingjiang lowered his head and whispered in his wife's and brother's ear. "I know you don't want to die, but if you don't die, brother-in-law, I will have to die." Looking at Meng Sheng's suddenly constricted pupils, Xu Dingjiang stood on his back, pulled out his sword, and stabbed Meng Sheng's heart with a sword. "The Lu battalion capital Si Mengsheng absconded without an order, and spread the news of the defeat, shaking the morale of the army, and now the official is personally executed!" Pulling out the bloody sword, Xu Dingjiang gritted his teeth and ordered left and right. "The Lu battalion is Si Mengsheng, and the Runing battalion garrison Wang Ding Baoli died in battle, which can be described as an example in the army, and the left battalion of the town mark will continue to attack the Lu battalion and the Runing battalion, and it will definitely capture the sea reverse gate!"
In the succession, the Qing army finally captured the first low wall with human lives, and then threw themselves into the attack on the small gate under the high wall. However, this result was not actually beneficial to the capture of the gate, and the Qing army, which had broken through or did not break through the Damu blockade at all, was either subjected to a volley of guns or fell into the guns of the Zheng army in the advance, but the casualties did not make much progress.
The report of asking for help and complaining for distress 6 continued to convey to Shanahai's ears, at this time the sun in the sky was becoming more and more vicious, and seeing that the morale of the Qing army had fallen, Shanahai had to order: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”
The clanging gong finally sounded, looking at the subordinates who fled back, Xu Dingjiang actually had a weak leg, although he disguised himself as standing for a long time and his blood was not connected, but all the cronies around him could see the panic in his heart, but in any case, this level was over, and Nanyang Town, which was no longer able to fight, finally got the opportunity to retreat and recuperate by fighting for his life
The Qing army could retreat, but the Zheng army couldn't: "Order the reserve team to go out of the city to inspect, our army's minor and serious injuries will be sent to the public security for treatment, and the corpses of our fallen soldiers will be transported to Nanjing by the naval division after incineration, and the troops will be sent back to the townships." As for the wounded and corpses of the captives, the armor and weapons were collected, and then transported to the middle line to notify the captives to receive them. ”
"Your Majesty?"
"If the wounded are not saved, they will fall into the hearts of the army, and if they are not properly treated, they will also hurt their morale, and they can waste the military rations, why not do this good thing." Zheng Kezhang said with a sneer. "In addition, all departments were notified to change their guards and replenish ammunition, and all door stoppers should be repaired as soon as possible."
