What does it feel like to have an ice cellar?

The bone-chilling cold, the endless despair, Xi Yuan experienced it again today. He thought that after he left Hangzhou, he didn't care about it at all.

A piece of paper fell from his hand weakly, his eyes were blank, and the whole person seemed to be stupid, and he did not move for a full two quarters of an hour!

"How so? How so? He asked himself frantically in the bottom of his mind.

He struggled to support himself in Shanyin City, but there was news that Ningbo surrendered, and the Qin army landed by sea and took Yuyao and Shangyu counties in Shaoxing Prefecture lightly. In other words, San'in has completely become an isolated city!

"Gao Jingzhi, Gao Jingzhi, I want to cut you with a thousand knives......" Xi Yuan scolded at the Ningbo prefect. You must know that he originally planned to let the remnants retreat to Ningbo if it was not good, where they could also take a foreign ship to Hong Kong or Jinmen. But now this qiē plan is over!

Xi Yuan himself has the courage to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. But he knew that his soldiers were not all the same as himself, and if his soldiers were brave, especially the Eight Banners New Army, surrendered too much, his own intention of dying in San'in would be washed away.

Shangyu County. The smoke of war has long since drifted away, and the entire Shangyu County has returned to its former calm.

The dinner of the vanguard of the Qin army was also set up as a celebration banquet. In fact, it was the local gentry and merchants who were uneasy and insisted on sacrificing the army, so they called this feast.

The hometown of fishermen in Shaoxing Prefecture, Lingzhong Xiuyu, a rich place where culture gathers. The more such a place, the lower the bottom line in the face of military disasters and man-made disasters.

In the courtyard of the county government, between the empty fields. More than a dozen large square tables are lined up in pairs, and eight people are seated. The crowd is crowded, and there are no empty seats.

Good wine, good food. The whole nine yards. The aroma of wine is overflowing, the smell of meat is tangy, the cups are staggered, and everyone has an irrepressible smile on their faces. At least the gentry and businessmen of this county present will definitely not show a trace of embarrassment and distress on their faces.

A group of colonels and officers of the Qin army were also smiling, and some people rushed to invite guests, which was also a kind of convincing. Otherwise, with the strict military discipline of the Qin army, coupled with a place like Shangyu, which is almost bloodless, it is still a county seat, and there is no 'merit' to celebrate at all!

At the first table of the feast. A deputy battalion commander, a brigade leader, and two deputy brigade commanders of the Qin army's vanguard unit were eating and drinking happily. In the vanguard of the Qin Army, only one captain is still sticking to his post, but this is definitely enough. Could it be that the Eight Banners New Army in Shaoxing Fucheng still dared to fly across hundreds of miles to attack Shangyu?

And Shangyu County itself, 2,000 Ding Zhuang Xiangyong, less than ten died. The vanguard of the Qin army only fired a dozen mortar shells when crossing the Tongming River, blowing up the township barracks on the other side of the river. killed seven Xiangyong, and then took down the entire Shangyu without firing a shot. And the seven villagers who died were all very unlucky and unlucky, if the Qin army didn't bomb people first, they shouted first. They don't have to die.

Seventy or eighty percent of the 2,000 townships in Guishun were dismissed, and the remaining part was organized into the police, and the other part was incorporated into the soon-to-be-established county government.

Shaoxing is a true place of culture. There are many literate people, even if many are not famous. Readable characters, able to write. If you are pulled into a training class and intensively educated for a month, you will be qualified.

Since the Qin army entered Jiangnan, it was [distinguishing between Lingnan, Fujian and Guangdong], that is, the army could feel lightly that the filling of local government vacancies was much better than that of Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, and it was easier than that of Hunan and Guangdong.

In this case, the Qin army did not need to worry about local repetition at all. Moreover, since the Qin army entered Zhejiang, there has not been a 'repeated' situation in the county seat that has been "recovered".

The Qin army's oppression and harshness of the localities were not small. But Zhejiang is very calm!

At this moment, Xi Yuan's heart is called hatred, eating its flesh and sleeping its skin, he hates Gao Jing and hates it madly, but he never thought that 'ants are still greedy for life', but what about people? Gao Jingzhi and many Ningbo officials who surrendered, they are not banner people?

The generals of the Eight Banners New Army in the hall were also lonely and silent at this time, and everyone had endless anger, anger, anxiety and sorrow on their faces. The road ahead is gone, the back road is also cut off, and I am afraid that the blood of the Qing Dynasty, which is less than 10,000 people, will really be martyred with the country. None of them wanted to die, but there really wasn't a chance of life ahead.

Hee-won was silent and didn't speak again.

The generals retreated silently, and the few two or three who had different opinions, everyone's faces changed a few times and finally sighed. Leave it to fate!

Shanyin County, also Huiji County, and the capital city of Shaoxing Prefecture are also an interesting story in China. Shanyin, Huiji two counties are in the same city, and this place is the capital city of Shaoxing Mansion, the dividing line of the two counties is the Fu River that runs through the north and south of Shaoxing Mansion, so it is also called the boundary river.

The boundary river flows from south to north, flows from Zhili Gate (South Gate), passes through Baojia Bridge, Shezi Bridge, Dayun Bridge, Qingdao Bridge, County West Bridge, Xiaojiang Bridge, folds to the east, turns north through Xiangqiao again, passes through Xianning Bridge, Anning Bridge, goes out of Chang'anmen, injects into Sanjiangkou, the middle tributary is vertical and horizontal, all can pass through the boat. There are many bridges on it, all of which connect the mountains and Hui two counties, Hexi (Xiaojiangqiao to Xiangqiao section is Hebei) is the border of Shanyin County, and Hedong (Xiaojiangqiao to Xiangqiao section is Henan) is the border of Huiji County. Therefore, in the same city, in the original time and space, Cai Yuanpei, who lived in the north of Xiaojiangqiao, called himself a native of Shanyin, and Zhou Shuren, who lived in Duchangfang, claimed to be a Huiji person. That's the case.

That's why it's not a good place to stick to. However, if the New Army of the Eight Banners is desperate to fight for their lives, the rivers here are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to the deployment of large troops, but it is a good place for strangulation.

More than 10,000 Qin troops surrounded Shanyin and Huiji, and in two days of preparation, all the artillery of the Qin army was in place. More than 40 75 guns, and more than 100 mortars accompanying the army.

"Boom, boom, boom," the cannon roared.

Dozens of artillery pieces fired in unison, and the iron-blue muzzles spewed out hot fire, and the rising white smoke was already shrouded in the sky above the artillery position in a short time.

As soon as the cannon was fired, all the guns fell backwards in unison, and the gun carriage rushed up the slope behind the gun emplacement, and then rumbled down again when the recoil was exhausted. There was also a slope in front of the gun emplacement, but it was much higher than the one behind, and not as high as the wheels of the gun carriage itself.

Under the action of the two slopes, it only took a moment for the gun position to be restored, and there was no need to adjust the firing elements, and the cannon could be fired immediately after the shells were loaded.

Artillery is not a mortar, and if you want to use artillery better and more effectively, the construction of artillery positions is really not sloppy at all.

The earth collapsed and the walls of the city quickly turned into ruins under the bombardment of artillery. After two quarters of an hour of artillery bombardment, Liu Xian gave another order, and the assault troops and mortars stepped forward, and at the same time, the 42 75 guns in the artillery position adjusted their firing of Zhuyuan, and then extended their fire into the city of Shaoxing.

Not long after, after the sappers in the assault force ignited the explosives, a series of loud "booms" that far exceeded the sound of artillery ...... were heard, and a section of the 120-meter-long city wall collapsed in the continuous explosions.

The constant roar continued, and the cannons continued to bombard the collapsing walls. Then the assault team came on the field again, so the walls of Shaoxing Mansion City were constantly collapsing. By noon, there were already five gaps in the twenty-four miles of the entire Shaoxing Mansion City. Sections of the fortified city walls were blown into piles of rubble, and one of the gate towers collapsed completely, and the heavy gates were pressed into the pile of earth and stones in a very distorted shape.

"Attack—"

Liu Xian waved his hand. Immediately, the murderous military trumpets sounded loudly.

"Rush!" With the earth-shattering roar, the Qin soldiers in the lead quickly rushed towards the ruin-like city wall.

In the ruins of the city gate, countless Eight Banner soldiers appeared like ants, colliding with the Qin army assault troops who rushed to the front.

The sound of gunfire shook the sky, and the previously powerful artillery completely shifted its target, firing fiercely at several locations in the city that Liu Xian had speculated on the map, and some of the mortars turned back and began to cooperate with his assault force.

"Machine gun suppression! Call me—"

A lieutenant officer of the Qin Army lay on his stomach in the rubble, yelling at the heavy machine gun group beside him, which had just set up a machine gun position using broken bricks and stones.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da......" The characteristic sound of the heavy machine gun immediately sounded in the officers' ears.

And Captain Qin Jun, who is also the squadron leader of this squadron, has his head wrapped in gauze like an Indian, but at this moment he is still waving a pistol and shouting vigorously:

"Kill, rush with me-"

Wounded and not in the line of fire. still led the charge into the city of Shaoxing.

Shaoxing Prefecture Governor Yamen. The location of the current camp of Xiyuan.

"Report to the commander, the north city was lost, the longevity lord was killed in battle, and most of his banner soldiers were killed in battle."

"Then blow up the gunpowder that was buried in advance, and then ......" Sitting firmly on a large chair, Xi Yuan's brow didn't even move. Ever since he made up his mind to defend the city of Shaoxing, he had been fully prepared for such news. Now that he doesn't even think about his own life, what else can move him?

Glancing at Goshha with indifferent eyes, Xi Yuan said in a voice without a trace of emotion, "Sue Sù Fubin, take his men and horses and then charge and beat the rebels out." ”

"Mark and obey." Goshha was now accustomed to Hee-won's expressionless face, but she still felt a little frightened by his voice, which had no human scent. He knew Xi Yuan's plan in his heart, he was not ready to live for a long time......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Just like an artillery position that has been shelled, countless gunpowder explodes, and it is like a sea of fire in front of you. Xi Yuan used the powder keg as a mine, and in a series of huge explosions, the Qin army was killed or wounded, at least the offensive was a sudden setback.

Outside the city, Liu Xian's eyelids twitched. Knowing that there is a trap, but still sending his soldiers to death, this is very uncomfortable. (To be continued......) R1292
