Chapter 440: The ruthless Ai Shuangshuang
PS: Add a new chapter over the weekend!
Li Qingshan's plan went very smoothly, nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers in the east quickly crossed the Qingliang River, and quickly marched towards the siege of Fucheng City, thousands of troops and horses galloped very imposingly, but the movement was also large, completely covering the ambush of the second regiment that was quietly approaching from a few miles away!
When the rear formation of the Qing army heard the movement, Li Qingshan's men and horses were only two hundred meters away from them, and if they didn't do anything at this time, Li Qingshan shouted, and led his three thousand soldiers to pounce directly! The scene was also called a shock, the Qing army was suddenly in chaos, and hurriedly turned its head and began to fight!
It's just that they thought about it, but Li Qingshan's men and horses didn't meet them in a short fight, and when they were fifty meters away, a rain of crossbows and arrows swished over, and then a drift turned around and ran straight to the south!
Yes, Li Qingshan ran away, making such a big noise, the frightened Qing army turned around in a panic to meet the battle, but he shook his head and left a rain of arrows and ran away, it is really rare to be so shameless!
However, although there was no short-handed encounter, the crossbow and bow of 3,000 men and horses still caused the Qing army to suffer heavy losses, and the preliminary estimate of casualties was thousands, which made one of the banner leaders grit his teeth angrily, but when he saw the horsetail lamp of the second regiment that had run out a few miles away, he hesitated, chase or not?
If there was no ambush yesterday, and the trick of crossing the river today, he would definitely immediately order that even the ends of the earth would tear Li Qingshan and feed it to the dogs, but now he hesitated, this kind of battle is not touched, and the trick of shooting you with a face and running away with a turn of the head has never been seen, and there must be a demon when things go wrong! There is an ambush waiting for you in front of you!
In the end, after hesitating for a while, the figure of the second regiment had disappeared, and this shrewd banner master ordered the troops to be under the city of Fucheng, this is the right thing!
"Brother Ai, it's up to you for the rest, don't delay it too long, otherwise you won't be able to run out of the siege of the Qing army!" Ai Shuangshuang stood at the head of the city. looked at the Qing army slowly surrounding below, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand: "Got it, don't slip too fast, wait for me!" ”
"Brother Wan, it's up to our brothers now, aren't you nervous?" After Ai Shuangshuang cut off contact with Li Qingshan, he began to make fun of Wan Zhongning beside him
"To be honest, I'm not nervous, I'm just worried" Wan Zhongning smiled bitterly: "I'm worried that the Qing army is not in a hurry to attack the city, but it will be miserable if they just surround us!" ”
"So we're going to provoke them and don't give them a chance to besiege the city! Make him impatient and attack immediately! Ai Shuangshuang said and glanced at the Qing soldiers under the city. 200 steps away in formation, not in a hurry or impatient, is it waiting for the main force to cross the river? Or is it not in a hurry because there are no siege engines.
"I can't care so much! They must be provoked! If they all cross the river and surround the city, we really won't have a place to run! Ai Shuangshuang made a gesture as he spoke, and soon dozens of ropes around him hung down, and the nearly 20,000 Qing soldiers under the city were about to breathe fire in their eyes!
More than 50 wounded soldiers of the Qing army were captured and hung on the city wall, this is the wounded soldier caught in the ambush battle of Ai Shuangshuang last night, and now they are hanging here for public display!
"Hey! Qinggou, look here. Look here, yes you read that right, this is your brother and brother, open your eyes and see clearly! Ai Shuangshuang shouted loudly to the city. He picked up a crossbow and pulled the trigger on the top of the head of one of the captives, and with a swipe, the arrow sank in from the top of his head, and his jaw burst out. The dead can't die!
"This is the fate of invading my Ming Dynasty and harming my homeland!" Ai Shuangshuang ignored the angry Qing soldiers in the city at this moment, and tore his throat and scolded them: "I'm not convinced, right?" I don't accept that you are especially coming to bite me", he pulled out a steel knife and slashed at a Qing army hanging on the edge of the battlements, and instantly cut off a good head, and the screams of the captives made the Qing army under the city suddenly quiet, and then broke out all kinds of roars and scolding, but Ai Shuangshuang still smiled: "Come and bite me, you wretched!" With a strong wave of his hand, there was a snap, and the corpse of the captive fell to the bottom of the city, and the head like a vegetable melon was still hanging at the mouth of the battlement, and the blood was dripping non-stop!
"Ruthless!" Ai Shuangshuang's move not only completely angered the Qing army under the city, but even the fat Wan Zhongning frowned!
"I heard that he used to be a bandit, and he was ruthless...... "A low-level military general beside Wan Zhongning was stopped by his eyes as soon as he spoke!
The Qing army under the city was completely enraged, and they chopped dumplings when they entered the customs, never thought that their own people would also be used as dumpling filling, this is the most complete insult to the Qing warriors, and the uncle and aunt can't bear it! More than 20,000 Qing troops began to approach the city with a roar!
Abatai, who was on the other side of the river, picked up his clairvoyance and watched every move of Fucheng, from Li Qingshan's sneak attack to the current killing of prisoners, he didn't miss a second, and the old face that was dried by the air became more and more, "Order, transport the siege equipment across the river, and immediately set foot on Fucheng, I can't wait for a moment more!" After the city is broken, there are no chickens and dogs left in the city! ”
"Lord Belle, the main force is still not Jiang?" Turg asked!
"Wait", Abatai looked around, a sneer appeared on his face, "Don't think that I don't know his existence when I am hidden in the shadows, it is not too late for the main force to cross the river after the city is broken, just a small city, 20,000 horses are enough!" ”
Turg was stunned by Abatai's words, and also looked around, "What are you talking about, Lord Belle, who is in the shadows?" ”
"I don't know who he is, but I know that there is an opponent who is hiding in the shadows and fighting me now, Turg, don't you think what we have encountered since the river is very strange, all this shows that there is a big opponent in the shadows who is calculating us, and this person is extremely insidious! Now we have to be careful! ”
Turg nodded, his brows furrowed, "Now that the Ming Court has any famous generals in the Central Plains, this person is so insidious and cunning, and he is ambushed everywhere, he will definitely not be a nameless!" ”
"This time we have to investigate and investigate", Abatai's eyes drifted to the engineering troops on the river in the distance! Now it was just noon, and it was supposed to be the time to set up camp for dinner, but he couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for a moment, and the behavior of constantly killing Qing army prisoners in Fucheng completely angered him!
Ai Shuangshuang is indeed ruthless, at least kill people without blinking, in order to pour oil on the city, he chopped up those captives one by one with a knife, leaving their heads to hang on the city, this action has made the anger of the Qing army under the city reach the highest point, although they do not have any siege equipment now. It's already starting to press on the city step by step!
However, as long as it was more than a hundred paces, the city always fired thousands of arrows, so that they had to retreat in a panic, and then the city began to laugh, plus all kinds of insults, so the little temper of the Qing army ignited again!
Seeing that the Qing army's siege equipment had begun to slowly cross the river, an imperceptible smile appeared on Ai Shuangshuang's face, and he turned to look at the dozen or so people behind him: "Are you ready?" ”
"Report to the head of the group, everything is ready! It's just waiting for your orders! "These more than a dozen people were temporary gunmen of the 2nd Regiment, not Rwan's personal guards. Instead, he handed over a dozen guns to them before leaving, specifically responsible for detonating firepower!
"Then put it in place, be smart when you turn around, and if you can't escape, give yourself a shot, and the province will fall into the hands of the Qing army and be tortured!"
"Don't worry, head of the regiment, I will cherish my life!" The captain of the gunner squad was very relaxed, saluted Ai Shuangshuang, and left with his men!
"Hey. I'm here for a trip, I didn't get involved in the business, I actually did coolies, General Ai is here for you to support. Brother, I'll go first", Wan Zhongning walked over and hugged his fist and said!
Ai Shuangshuang laughed: "It's not easy for you to do that hard work, so many people and such a big project in such a short time." It's enough to make a big contribution, if you don't feel like it's fun, why don't you spend more time with me? ”
"Huh. Forget it, I'd better run first, I'll be scared to pee my pants for a while", Wan Zhongning said and laughed, turned around and left! Ai Shuangshuang turned around and continued to look outside the city, his face becoming murderous!
The Qing army began to attack the city, the offensive was very fierce, mixed with all kinds of anger, more than 10,000 horses launched a crazy attack on the small Fucheng with the help of siege ladders and door-breaking vehicles, and the rest of the men and horses were on guard in the rear, because they had to guard against the thousands of cavalry who ran away from the sneak attack!
The Qing army's offensive was fierce, Ai Shuangshuang's thousands of men and horses were also resounding, rows of bows and arrows and crossbows could not be stopped at all, and they successfully stopped several waves of offensive of the Qing army. And caused a large number of casualties.
However, soon, the confidence of the Qing army increased greatly, because they found that the rain of arrows on the city became sparse, accompanied by stones, giant trees and other objects smashed down, which showed that the Ming army's bows and arrows had been exhausted, and it was better to wait for it not to attack at this time, so the Qing general immediately issued a general attack order, and another wave of strong attacks began!
Didn't go to this strong attack as if hitting on the cotton regiment, the other side was so soft that it was unimaginable, and even the soldiers on the siege ladder had not climbed to the city wall, the city gate was broken, but such a strange situation did not attract the attention of the Qing generals, and no one would pay attention to these details at this time, only felt that the city was about to be broken, where to take care of the others, while shouting the trumpet, the army swarmed into the city, and then it was gone!
In a small city like Fucheng County, the city wall is not high or thick, not to mention that there will be an inner city, which is the so-called urn city, after all, this is not Nanjing and Beijing, but a small county town in the middle of nowhere, but when the Qing army rushed in, they found that there was a small urn city here!
What's more obvious is that this small urn city with a radius of only a few acres is actually just a temporary construction, and it is piled up in a circle with messy things such as stones and miscellaneous trees, which means that the Qing army still needs to break through this garbage wall to really enter Fucheng!
But it is not high, and the garbage wall on the opposite side can be seen through various gaps, which is so stubbornly blocking the pace of thousands of Qing soldiers! They didn't know what was going on behind the wall, whether there would be an ambush, so they could only stand still and wait for their boss to decide!
Hearing the news, a few staff leaders rushed to take a look around in this not too crowded urn city, and they were also full of doubts, what is the purpose of such a garbage wall, and there are some sundries and garbage, stones, wood, iron buckets and so on in the middle of the urn city!
"There is no ambush behind!" Just when the leader just wanted to study what the iron bucket was, the soldiers who climbed the city wall from the siege ladder were also dumbfounded, the city was empty, except for some corpses, there was not a single living person, and condescendingly could see that the garbage wall was thick and there was no ambush!
"Push away and rush over!" The leader spoke, and the soldiers began to climb over and dismantle the garbage wall, that is, at this time, bang, continuous gunshots rang out, which made several staff leaders shout in their hearts, and then they were blown up into the sky, and then the entire urn city was flooded by firelight, and thousands of Qing soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers to flee for their lives, and then they didn't die!
More than a dozen barrels of gasoline and gas canisters exploded at the same time, completely turning this small urn city into a hell of fire! Just when there were screams here, more than a dozen figures hidden in the shadows quietly fled, and Ai Shuangshuang's men and horses had already slipped out of the south gate and retreated in the direction of Jingzhou!
Abatai's eyelids have been beating, his heart has been uneasy, the smile on his face has not completely dispersed when the Qing army broke through Fucheng, the violent explosion sound made his heart hurt, and the news that soon came made him fall headlong, and the whole army was in chaos!
