Chapter 711: Fighting the Zhending Mansion Again (1)
The next day, Abatai didn't even wait for the arrival of Aobai, he launched an attack directly towards Zhending Mansion, he couldn't wait, Abatai knew in his heart that if Zhending Mansion did not fall for a day, Duoduo of the Daimyo Mansion would not be at peace for a day, not to mention entering Weihui Kaifeng, it was not easy to stabilize the morale of the army!
One artillery cannon was pushed to the forefront, and it was only two or three miles away from Zhending Mansion, and began to launch a fierce attack on Zhending Mansion!
Twenty-six artillery pieces were all thrown into the fierce battle in one go, and one shell after another flew towards the head of Zhending Mansion with a huge whistling sound.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The iron lump in the twenty catties smashed heavily on the city wall of Zhending Mansion, and there were more craters on the city wall in an instant, and the neat green bricks were smashed and smashed, and in an instant, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the entire Zhending Mansion was out of strong trembling!
"Continue the shelling until the barrel is red, and we must not stop, and today for a day, we will only carry out shelling, not a charge!"
Abatai said lightly.
Launch a whole day of shelling?
Abatai can really get out, so how many shells will it take? In Abatai's words alone, there is an unswerving killing intent, and he must take down the Zhending Mansion and contact Duoduo's worries!
As soon as it came up, it was an hour of shelling, and for a whole hour, the chamber of the red-coated cannon had begun to be so hot that people did not dare to touch it, and as soon as the hand was on it, it would be scalded out of first-class bubbles, and after a little longer, it would become a roast pig's trotter, and the artillery had to temporarily stop attacking!
One hour, two hours, thirty or forty waves of shelling, seven or eight hundred shells were fired at Zhending Mansion, and now the city wall of Zhending Mansion is full of huge craters, and cracks appear on the city wall like spider webs!
The cannonballs not only smashed on the city wall, some even directly crossed the city wall, smashed on the houses in the city, twenty catties of cannonballs fell on the roof from the air with huge inertia, directly penetrated the roof, and even the houses collapsed directly, and the mouths of the injured people continued to let out a terrible howl, of course, there were also unlucky eggs among the Ming army, who were hit by the scattered pieces of masonry and stone, grinning in pain, and howling wolves!
Qin Mufeng's combat strength was above the city, and he looked coldly into the distance, attack, Manchurian Tartars, you can attack wantonly, I'll see how many shells you have brought!
Above the city, the Ming army was not idle, and began to use artillery to return the color, however, there were only two red-clothed cannons in the entire Zhending Mansion, and there were more than a dozen generals in the rest, Qin Mufeng moved all the two red-clothed cannons in the south city in order to enhance the defensive strength of the north gate, and also moved four general cannons, adding together, more than ten artillery, and began to launch a counterattack!
Compared with the Qing army's red-coated artillery group, the power of these ten artillery pieces is too far behind, and the generals' cannons are old-fashioned, even if they are condescending, they can't hit the Qing army's position, and they can only rely on the two red-coated cannons to succeed in their majesty.
After the first wave of artillery bombardment passed, it only stopped for half an hour, and the artillery group of the Qing army roared again, attacking, continuing to attack, Abatai relied on the strong strength and firepower advantage, that is, to use artillery to destroy the city wall!
Seeing the cannonballs in the sky constantly bursting in, the infantry of Zhending Mansion turned pale one by one, after all, it was either the infantry of Zhendingwei and Fubiao Battalion or the elite in the city, they had never experienced any war at all, in the face of such a strong artillery bombardment, how easy was it to keep calm?
Qin Mufeng was also very helpless in his heart, he had calculated everything, but he didn't calculate the blow to the morale of the generals in the city with such a fierce shelling, and in the long run, the morale was low, once the psychological pressure of the soldiers broke through the defense line, it was enough for him to drink a pot.
One day, a whole day of shelling, at least, the Qing army also thought that two thousand shells were fired at the head of the city of Zhendingfu, and Zhendingfu suffered a catastrophe!!
Finally, when Abatai collected his troops and retreated, Qin Mufeng and the others often breathed a sigh of relief, tomorrow, tomorrow will be subjected to a day of fierce shelling, this time Abatai came prepared, and he was not in a hurry to launch an infantry siege at all, that is, to declare his might!
"My lord, why don't you take advantage of the night tonight, and the last general will lead a force to go out of the city and sneak attack, how about it?"
Lu Tao asked.
"Fart! Even if it's a sneak attack, it's not your turn, you lead the infantry to sneak attack other people's cavalry, isn't that looking for death? ”
Qin Mufeng shouted in a low voice, "Wait, let's not be in a hurry, what is in a hurry is their Manchurian Tartars, they can't take the Zhending Mansion for a day, and the Qing army of the Daimyo Mansion won't act rashly for a day!" Defend the city honestly, go down and encourage the brothers more, these people are either lack of training, or they are honest peasants, such a fierce offensive, I am afraid that I have never seen it in my life, I must stabilize their mood! ”
The next day, it came quickly.
It was another ferocious bombardment, and one shell after another continued to ravage the walls of Zhending Mansion, but in addition to the cannonballs in the sky, this time, Abatai also dispatched infantry at the same time, three thousand infantry, lined up in a queue, carrying siege ladders and rushing towards Zhending Mansion.
"Kill!"
Under the cover of artillery fire, the green battalion soldiers continued to advance, and soon reached the city wall, Zhending Mansion was adjacent to Taihang Mountain, but it did not have a wide and deep moat like the Daimyo Mansion and Dongchang Mansion.
"Herald! Shoot the arrows! ”
Under an order, the Ming army above the city began to shoot frantic arrows, musket bullets are limited but can not launch a musket counterattack as soon as they are shot, good steel should be used on the blade, to deal with these green battalion soldiers, bows and arrows are enough.
Waves of bows and arrows, still can't stop the advance of the green battalion, after all, they are all from Baoding Mansion, as the last important town in the south of the capital, the strength of the green battalion of Baoding Mansion is obviously stronger than that of Zhending Mansion and Shunde Mansion, at least the morale is much higher, and now with the help of artillery, it is much stronger!
Finally, a cloud ladder began to be set up on the city wall, and the green battalion soldiers began to attack the city, the knives and guns in their hands continued to dance, resisting the feather arrows coming from above, and constantly climbing upward, but at this time, the two sides were only more than ten steps apart, even if the infantry and the strong fools of Zhending Mansion were able to shoot the green battalion soldiers who were climbing!
"Bring the bow!"
Qin Mufeng shouted loudly, took the strong bow with one hand, and took the arrow with the other, and the two feather arrows rushed out like lightning, hitting a soldier of the green battalion, and the feather arrow shot the green battalion soldier in front of him through, and then nailed to the body of the green battalion soldier behind him, and the two green battalion soldiers screamed and fell off the city!
Killing two birds with one stone, two green battalion soldiers were killed at the same time, and the Ming army at the head of the city was in high spirits, "My lord is mighty, my lord is mighty!" ”
