Chapter 599: Strength Determines Everything!
~~~~~~~
"Boom ......"
"Boom...... Boom ......"
With Wen Cheng's order, the Caishi Army artillery battalion took the lead in launching an attack on the Qing army.
Rows of swarthy shells, glowing red, like meteors falling, smashed towards the dirt slope where the Qing army was located!
These Qing troops were completely stunned!
They didn't seem to have imagined that the Caishi Army had no firm foothold and dared to take the lead in launching a surprise attack on them, and for a while, they were powerless to resist at all, so they had to flee in all directions.
The cavalry guarding them, because of the presence of war horses, fled quickly, but the coolies who pulled the ox carts and the infantry were miserable!
In the face of the cold artillery fire of the Caishi Army, they had no way to avoid it, so they had to become cannon fodder tragically.
"Qing army artillery array, but that's it! With this amount of weight, he dared to come out and be embarrassed! Sons, give me a hard bang! Hahaha! Wang Pu Ha smiled and was in a very happy mood.
However, on the side, Liu Ruyi's face changed slightly, while Wen Cheng was also staring intently at the direction of the Qing army's artillery array, but there seemed to be some doubts on his face.
But before the two could speak, in a moment, on the head of Pinggu City, a sudden fire flashed!
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
Rows of dark shells covered the sky and the sun, like a violent storm, pouring down towards the position of the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion!
"Grass! This dog offal! Liu Ruyi couldn't help scolding!
"General, be careful, lie down!" Wen Cheng didn't even have time to scold at this time, so he hurriedly rushed forward and threw Liu Ruyi to the ground.
In a moment, the officers on the position of the artillery battalion of the Caishi Army fell down!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The earth seemed to be torn apart, the rocks and debris flew all over the mountain, the billowing smoke filled the air, and the wails and screams were everywhere.
"General, these Qing troops are so despicable! Those ox carts are just a pretense, just to attract our firepower! But their artillery has long been waiting for the city, and as long as our artillery battalion is exposed, it will give us a fatal blow! Wen Cheng also reacted at this time, and explained to Liu Ruyi anxiously.
Liu Ruyi's face was a little pale, and when the Caishi Army was bombarding, he found that something was wrong with the situation, and no one thought of it!
The Qing army would be so cunning!
The white flag cavalry who came out to guard before was the elite of the white flag, but those infantry miscellaneous servants who pulled ox carts were the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they actually used the people of the Ming Dynasty as bait!
But it has happened, and now regretting it has no effect at all.
The only thing that can be done is to solve the problem.
Liu Ruyi spit out a mouthful of crumbs vigorously, grabbed Wen Cheng's hand and said, "In such a situation, does our army still have the strength to fight back?" Fuck me hard! ”
Wen Cheng also reacted, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, general! Since the Qing army dares to sinister us! I swear they will pay! ”
After Wen Cheng finished speaking, he rolled over, rushed to a few steps in front of Liu Ruyi, and shouted loudly: "The sons of the Caishi Army! Cheer up Lao Tzu! Turn the muzzle of the cannon and blast it at the head of the city! ”
Although the Qing army took the lead and took the lead in grasping the movement of the Caishi Army artillery battalion, although their first round of attacks was fierce, the gap between them and the second round of artillery bombardment was a little 'long'!
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for the gunner to load, aim, proofread, and ignite.
But it was in this short period of time that the artillerymen of the Colored Stone Army had already reacted from the initial chaos.
Under the loud shouts of Wen Cheng, they reloaded, aimed, proofread, and ignited, aiming the black muzzles of the guns in the direction of the Qing artillery battalion at the head of Pinggu City.
"Boom~Boom~Boom......"
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom"
The roar of artillery with different sound qualities is like a continuous explosion of thunder between heaven and earth, which almost tears the world apart.
The dark cannonballs in the sky are like turbulence in the depths of the starry sky of the universe, you come and go, back and forth, and the whole world is shrouded in a huge black gunsmoke.
The position of the Caishi Army has already turned into a sea of fire.
However, when Liu Ruyi deployed the artillery battalion, he used the main structure of measuring mud and sandbags, and at this time, although the construction time of the Caishi army camp was still short, this requirement was never relaxed.
Violent wildfires spread rapidly, but within the sandbag matrix, the fires seemed to be blocked by rocks, and could not move forward.
It also makes the colored stone artillery in the battle array protect their lives to the greatest extent.
But on the other hand, on the side of the Qing army, their luck is not so good!
Their artillery battalion camp was built on the wall of Pinggu.
Although the city wall is made of extremely solid blue bricks, under such a fierce artillery attack of the Caishi Army, even if it is a big mountain, it will be flattened!
'Boom...... Rumble...... Boom......'
It was another round of overwhelming counterattacks, and the Qing army's position at the head of the city seemed to have been flattened, and the offensive that was originally framed in front had already come to naught, and the fire covered the sky.
Those Qing artillerymen who were in the rear of the battle formation were a little lucky and had not been affected by the fire for the time being, but those Qing artillerymen who were at the forefront of the battle formation and were the first to attack the Caishi Army paid the heaviest price at this time!
The fire was raging, and there was no shelter left at the top of the city.
These Qing artillerymen, even if they wanted to escape, had no way to escape, they could only watch their bodies spread by the raging fire, and in the end, the painting was in ashes!
"Ah~~~! Help, help! I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die yet! My son has just reached the full moon! I haven't heard him call me Daddy! "A Qing army Han army flag artillery man was covered in fire, his hair and clothes had already been scorched, like a burning man, heart-rending screams.
Beside him, those Qing army gunners who were lucky not to be affected by the fire of the Caishi Army couldn't help but show pain on their faces.
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad!
In the face of opponents like the Caishi Army, they really don't have much confidence!
At this time, Kong Youde, the obedient king, was a straightforward seven-trick smoker.
He never thought that such an ingenious plan to lure the enemy and such a perfect opportunity to attack would have expected to knock down the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion in one go, but how could he have expected that even in such an unfavorable situation, the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion would actually be able to pull it back!
"Hold on! Resist! It's all for Lao Tzu to resist! If anyone dares to take half a step back, this official will punish his nine clans! The emperor is watching from behind! Sons, show your real skills! Give me a hard bang at the Colored Stone Army! Kong Youde was covered in black ash, but he didn't have time to care about it, he took out the steel knife on his waist, and shouted loudly under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers.
The artillerymen of the Qing army, who had already retreated, saw that their master was so determined, and they did not dare to retreat in the slightest, so they could only cheer up and continue to entangle with the Caishi army!
~~~~~
On the south side of the city, far away from the range of the Caishi army's artillery attack, at this time, Huang Taiji took a group of Manchu magnates to watch the battle here.
Originally, the situation was very good, and these Manchu magnates had already cheered constantly, but who knows, after a short period of time, the Caishi army actually reversed the situation, and the powerful firepower, the Qing army that pressed directly could not raise its head, and suffered heavy casualties.
Huang Taiji's eyebrows also flashed a trace of gloom, he didn't expect that the artillery battalion that he had worked hard to build with all his efforts, almost with the financial resources of the whole Qing Dynasty, was beaten back to its original form in the first battle of the Caishi Army!
Although it will not be defeated immediately, it can only survive, and people will not see the slightest hope of victory, and if it continues like this, it will be a rout, even if it is a matter of time!
"Liu Ruyi! Colored Stone Army! "The root of Huang Taiji's teeth will be bitten off!
On the side, Dolgon hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the artillery of the colored stone army is too sharp!" Their artillery has a significantly longer range and more power than ours, and this should be the latest artillery of those white-haired ghosts! It's unwise to be so tough with them! If we retreat now, we can still keep a trace of incense from the king, and if we continue to fight, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Retreat? How did you let me retreat? The Emperor glared angrily at Dorgon.
Although he knew that Dorgon was telling the truth, how could he easily accept this situation?
"Your Majesty, please focus on the overall situation!" Dorgon hurriedly fell to his knees.
He understood Huang Taiji's expectations for the Qing army's artillery battalion, but things had reached such an extent that they had long had no chance of winning with artillery!
It's like a war between a college student and a junior high school student, although the junior high school student has worked hard, but after all, the reality gap is cruelly placed here!
If you are lost, you will have the strength to fight again in the future!
But if you don't come to your senses, I'm afraid you'll have to lose your life!
Huang Taiji's heart seemed to have a fire surging, and suddenly, his throat and eyes were in a big mouthful, "Wow", spit out a large pool of blood, and his body was crooked, and he was about to faint to the ground.
The Manchu magnates around him couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly helped Huang Taiji up, and patted his back smoothly, and finally stabilized Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's originally flushed face was as pale as a piece of paper at this time, and after a long time, he spit out a few words in pain, "Withdraw!" Tell the obedient king to withdraw first! ”
"Wow!"
~~~~~~
The position of the Colored Stone Army.
Watching the artillery battalion of the Qing army gradually mute until it was completely unresponsive, Liu Ruyi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
It seems that in the past few years, these young men in the Caishi Army Artillery Battalion have really put in a lot of hard work!
In the face of today's extremely unfavorable situation, with flesh and blood and courage, he actually moved the situation back!
Especially Wen Cheng, although he is still young, his ruthlessness and courage when he was about to fight are very similar to his own time.
"Not bad! The boys are doing well today! I'll take this credit for you! Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Wen Cheng's shoulder.
Wen Cheng's face was covered with blood, but when he heard Liu Ruyi's praise at this time, he showed a shy smile, and the command state when he was just about to fight, as if he was judging two people, he respectfully knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you for the praise of the general!" However, today, if it weren't for Wen Cheng's carelessness, there wouldn't be so many brothers dead! Wen Cheng is willing to accept the punishment of the general! ”
Looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the artillery battalion who died in battle beside him, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh slightly, "It's not your fault in this matter!" If it's wrong, it's also my Liu Ruyi's fault! War! It's that cruel! Don't think so much about it! Brothers who died in battle, there will be a place for them in the Martyrs' Shrine! However, for the sake of today's plan, we still have to beat down the arrogance of the Qing army, so that they can understand that it is not so easy to provoke my Caishi Army! ”
