"Let the sons and daughters retreat, Ben Shuai sees that the fortress of the Shandong Army is very strange, and it can cover our siege soldiers and horses in almost all directions, and our shield vehicles and shields can't play a protective role at all, so let's bombard the city with heavy artillery first, and inform Zu Ze to concentrate all our heavy artillery and jack general artillery in the northwest corner of Jinzhou, and bombard the protrusion of the city wall, and Ben Shuai will go to discuss with King Su."
The front attack was not smooth, Zu Dashou had to go to the front line to supervise the battle, Zu Dashou who had defended the Da Ling River Fort only felt that this fortress was very familiar, except that it was not square, the rest of the facilities and the Da Ling River Fort were not much different, and the feeling was that the method of using ants to attack the city was tantamount to sending the soldiers to death.
"Chirp ......!"
"Whoa......!"
A group of Han army banner generals have received orders, but not long after they surrendered to the puppet Qing Dynasty, many people have not yet adapted to how to be the slaves of the Manchurians, so the command is uneven, there are Ming army names, and there are Manchurians names.
"Bell, bell, bell, ......!"
After Zu Dashou gave the order, the front army of the Qing army sounded a rapid sound of gold.
The Han army banner that had long been unwilling to fight retreated back like an amnesty, and the siege battle of Shicai was actually a unilateral slaughter for them, and they fought for more than an hour, and they did not pose any threat to the defenders in the city, but had already lost hundreds of people, and if they continued to fight, the casualties would only be greater.
Zu Zehong, Pei Guozhen and other Han army banner generals were busy collecting the defeated soldiers, but Zu Dashou went straight to the Haoge tent single-handedly.
"Prince Su, it's not that the minions don't do their best, it's really the city of the Ming army is very strong, and it is built like the Da Ling River back then, the minions led the army to attack for nearly two hours, and there was no effective killing of the Ming army in the fort, how to attack the city tomorrow, please also ask King Su to make a decision."
As soon as he entered the big tent, Zu Dashou knelt on one knee and gave a military salute, briefly describing the battle situation during the day to Haoge and others.
"General Zu, please get up quickly, today's Han army flag siege of the city, this king can see clearly, the Han army flag is good, everyone is brave, but the thieves are heavily guarded, and there are many firearms, so this defeat ear, today is just the first battle, General Zu does not have to mind, tomorrow to attack the city, I don't know if General Zu can have a good strategy."
Haoge had the intention of wooing Zu Dashou, and he was relatively calm when he spoke, and even showed mercy to Zu Dashou, and personally stepped forward to help Zu Dashou up.
"Prince Su, Jinzhou is different from the Da Ling River, the Da Ling River is lonely in Liaodong, my Qing army can naturally use the method of besieging the city, deep ditches and high bases, and fight a protracted war, Jinzhou is close to Jinzhou Bay, backed by Lushun, and the Ming thief and sailor can go back and forth, and the last general really can't come up with a way to break the city, so he has to order to concentrate firepower to bombard the fort wall tomorrow."
Seeing Haoge so polite and virtuous himself, Zu Dashou's eyes turned red, and he gratefully told his plan that when he was a traitor, he had to have the consciousness of being a traitor, and he had to be strong in front of his master.
"Master, the method of attacking the city has always been nothing more than the method of taking ants to attack the city, lock the city, condescend and dig tunnels, the geographical location of Jinzhou is special, so the siege method is not advisable, as for the excavation of the earth mountain, such as today's cold ground is frozen, the ground is frozen like iron and stone, and it is naturally difficult to act, the slave thinks that we can divide the troops to enter Lushun, or we can force the Jinzhou defenders out of the city."
Sonny is familiar with Han soldier books, and he still has some understanding of siege methods.
"No, according to the sentinel news, the Ming army in southern Liaoning is about more than 10,000 people, and our army is short of food and grass, how can we divide the troops? Before the prince of Li was to eat the bitterness of dividing the army to advance Lushun, the whole army was wiped out, how could our army repeat the mistake of the two red flags, and our army labor division expedition to southern Liaoning, food and grass are insufficient, to the month of La, I am afraid that the weather will be colder, so my army is in a quick battle, otherwise we can only retreat to Gaizhou, and then try to forge ahead after the winter. ”
Ao Bai is different from Sony, he is a veteran on the battlefield, he knows that the war must not stick to the rules, it must be combined with reality, Liaodong is cold, once he enters the moon, the swords and guns can be broken when they are frozen, how can this battle be fought?
"Then wait for tonight's shelling, see the actual situation and then calculate, General Zu has worked for a day, please go back to the camp to rest first, if it can't be successful, the army will retreat to Gaizhou, and then march after the beginning of spring, and then send someone to inform Prince Zheng, give him a brief introduction to the situation in Jinzhou, if our army returns to the division, please change him to Haizhou, and our army is a horn."
Jinzhou is here, in Haoge's view, it's just a matter of early and late fighting, now it's mid-November, Dolgon categorically has no possibility of cooperating with Wu Sangui to enter the Central Plains, as for the Jingbei Army's attack on Shanhaiguan, Haoge didn't take it to heart, Shanhaiguan, known as the first pass in the world, is it so easy to fight?
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
After the Han army retreated, the artillery of the Qing army roared again, this time Zu Dashou was ruthless, and all the thirty general guns he carried moved forward, and set up an artillery position about two miles from the northwest corner of Jinzhou Fort.
Thirty general cannons were divided into three groups, ten guns in each group, and sixteen Hongyi cannons were all aimed at the northwest corner of Jinzhou Fort and the pointed conical fort tower that came out of it, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment.
In the dark night, the cannons were like meteors flying in the night, and they bombarded the corner tower and city wall in the northwest corner of Jinzhou Fort with firelight.
"Bang, crackle, bang, bang......!"
The Qing army had strong firepower, and Jinzhou Fort was mainly built of earthen cement, and it rained down as iron bullets rained down for a long time. The disadvantage of not having solid masonry is fully revealed, and there are constantly wall buttresses smashed into pieces of different sizes by cannons, and the wall is also smashed by the twelve-pound cannon of Hongyi cannon, one after another about a few inches deep craters, along the crater around it is a circle and circle, shaped like a spider's web, but in the night, the Qing army can not find it at all.
"Quick, Ben will see that the artillery position of the Tartars should be within the range of our artillery, Zhao Desheng, you immediately pass the order of the generals, concentrate all the general artillery at the west gate, and give Lao Tzu a hard beating, but the Tartars are shelling the northwest corner, although the generals are not afraid of them to collapse the main body of Jinzhou Fort, but the wing fort that extends out is a little thin, will it be collapsed by their heavy artillery?
Through the torches and fires on the city wall, Bai Wenxuan clearly discovered that the city wall of the Wing Fort had been bombarded with holes due to the long shelling.
"The general doesn't have to worry, although the Tartar artillery fire is fierce, but the two sides of the wall of our wing fort are nearly two zhang together, how can they collapse, if the general is not at ease, the last general thinks that he can order the soldiers to burn the temperature and fall down from the city wall, this day is very cold, as soon as the water is poured down, it freezes immediately, so not only the city wall becomes ice, but the city is also full of ice, so how can the Tartars attack the city?"
Zhang Guo suggested to Bai Wenxuan in a thief that he was only in his early twenties this year, but he likes to use his brain in war, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, which is deeply respected by Bai Wenxuan.
