Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Attack on Guangzhou (2)
Under the unfurled banner of the Manchu Dynasty, the envoy was holding a telescope to see the movement of the enemy, and when he saw the cannons lined up, his face changed, "Shenwei Invincible General Cannon." ”
"How can the rebels have a mighty and invincible general cannon."
Shenwei invincible general cannon is a sharp weapon in the army, when Kangxi Shengzu pacified the rebellion of the three feudatories, he relied on Shenwei invincible general cannon, but I didn't expect that now the rebels also have it.
He gritted his teeth, rubbed his teeth, and his face was grim, "The imperial court has taken every precaution, just to prevent the invincible general cannon from falling into the hands of those traitors, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of traitors in the end." ”
"When I block the attacks of these traitors, I must go to the secret fold and purge those people fiercely."
The so-called secret fold, is the secret fold, the fold handed up on the bright side is watched layer by layer, may not be able to get to Yongzheng's face, but the fold must be able to Yongzheng's face, it can be said that the fold is a road that can directly reach the heavens, but the fold is not everyone can go on, except for the blood droplets, the entire court, so dozens of people can go to the fold.
Yang Zhifu hurriedly raised the binoculars, looked over, and when he looked, he found that the rebels had put out a dense array of Shenwei invincible general cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the city of Guangzhou. ”
"It's ......." According to the inspector, he looked into the distance, a little hesitant, he is not good at fighting, you let him chant poems, paint and write eight shares, he will, but if you want him to arrange the army, he has only seen Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"General Zhou." He hesitated a little when the envoy said this, but he still made up his mind, "I don't know if you have any good suggestions?" ”
His heart is dripping blood, this is sending merit, and it is still the first merit, if this is defeated, the reported merit is 'under the leadership of General Zhou's whole army Balabala', not under the command of his inspector, the head merit changed hands, but he is really not good at commanding, so he can only hand over the command to this general.
The general surnamed Zhou did not speak, but looked at the telescope in the hand of the envoy, who immediately understood, stretched out his hand and handed the telescope to General Zhou, and said very kindly: "General Zhou, it's all up to you." ”
There was no smile on the stereotypical face of the general surnamed Zhou, he took the binoculars blankly, glanced in the direction of Li Chao, and his brows immediately locked, "The rebels are going to attack." ”
"Archers prepare, wait for the rebels to get close to the attack range and release arrows, and never let the enemy get close to the city gates." Approaching the city gate is over, and General Zhou understands very well that with the thickness of the city gate, it is absolutely impossible to block the enemy's artillery bombardment,
"General Zuo, you lead a team of people to find a way to seal the city gate, the thicker the better."
"According to the envoy, can you write a memo and ask the court to come to the rescue?"
The envoy did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Can you stop it?" ”
The general surnamed Zhou glanced at the envoy, shook his head and said, "I can't stop it." "How can it be stopped, so many powerful and invincible general cannons, if they are allowed to get close to the city wall, it won't take long to break through the city gate, as for the hand-to-hand combat, he can only hehe, what good soldiers can there be without soldiers' salaries?
"We don't have the mighty and invincible general cannon, and the quantity and quality of our soldiers are not good, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, untrained, and unable to fight."
He turned his head to look at the prefect, and saw the frightened expression on his face, and his heart did not fluctuate, if it weren't for the corruption of this prefect, so that the real military salary paid every year was not even one-tenth of the money on the books, how could the city of Guangzhou not even have the strength to fight a war.
"I suggest that the imperial court send some elite troops over, preferably the Eight Banners come in person, I think the enemy this time is definitely not an ordinary rebel army, their weapons are too sophisticated, even the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon has it, and I don't know which corrupt official sold it to them the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon."
General Zhou hated it so much, if it didn't have the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, they might be able to resist for a few more days, but with the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, they couldn't stop it at all.
Unstoppable?
After a while, he gave an order to General Zhou, "General Zhou, this officer will command all the troops, and I will immediately go to write a note to ask for reinforcements." ”
He turned around and left after giving the order, but he didn't go back to ask for reinforcements, but to prepare to leave Guangzhou City, now the Eight Banners are suppressing the traitors in the Central Plains, where is there spare strength to support Guangzhou City, and even if he wants to support, he can't catch up now.
"Fortunately, the enemy only attacked the east gate, and I just took this opportunity to leave, otherwise it would have been too late." As for why the enemy only attacked the east gate, he also guessed, but he didn't care.
"General Zhou, you must block it, there is still official business in this mansion, go back first." Governor Yang immediately followed the envoy and went down from the city gate.
"According to the inspector, the prefect ......." General Zhou straightened his helmet, he knew the careful thinking of the envoys and the prefect, and even knew exactly what they wanted to do.
"Civil officials are afraid of death, and soldiers don't need to die, how can they win."
He pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and refocused his attention on the enemy's body, through the telescope, he saw the enemy pushing the Shenwei invincible general cannon close to the city of Guangzhou, his heart was fiercely nervous, the closer the enemy army was, the more nervous he was in his heart, and in the end, his five fingers were open, and his palms were full of sweat.
"Archers get ready."
He roared, and the archers drew their bows in unison, ready to strike at the enemy head-on, but to his surprise, the enemy stopped out of range of the archers.
"It shouldn't be ...... what I thought it would be." A faint premonition of bad luck surrounded him, and then under his gaze, the enemy pulled out of line, and the torches were raised high.
"Sure enough." General Zhou's forehead was covered with sweat, "The enemy's Shenwei Invincible General's cannon has a longer range than the archers, and they attack outside the range of the archers. ”
How can you win like that......
A faint bitterness came out, the corners of General Zhou's mouth opened a wry smile, he guessed, but he had no choice, he could only watch the enemy light the fuse, and then the roaring sound came, the cannonball hit the city gate, and after a while, the wooden city gate shattered,
"Kill." General Zhou roared angrily, the horn sounded, and the soldiers drew their swords and rushed out.
