Volume 1 Chapter 37: Defending the City (3)
"This person, this person tried to burn grain and grass to force you to surrender and build slaves, and I cut you down."
Zhu Youzhen was still gasping for breath, the blow just now almost exhausted his physical strength and mental strength, he sat on the ground, and handed the fire fold brought by the soldier to Ling Jingyang.
Ling Jingyang looked at the fire fold, and then looked at the corpse on the ground, and he was also annoyed in his heart, how could he be so careless, only let Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen guard the grain and grass, if Zhu Youzhen was going to be cut down by this soldier, who would he talk to, it seems necessary to arrange more soldiers to protect the grain and grass in the parade ground.
Zhang Luofu carried the body out, and said as he walked: "This person is innocent of death, and the Jiannu outside the city must know that there are such good filial sons and grandsons in the city, and their teeth will be laughed off." ”
Ling Jingyang had an idea, didn't someone want to burn the grain and grass and force him to surrender?
Why can't you create a false impression for Jiannu that someone in the city wants to surrender, Ling Jingyang and Wang Chengen said: "Go, call a few of them, I have something important to discuss with them." ”
He always firmly believes that there is a lot of power, and everyone brainstorming may have a miraculous effect, the generals came to the parade field, the old steamed bun hunted during the day, hit a stupid roe deer, and was roasting meat for everyone, there was no seasoning, just sprinkle some salt on it, and the meat aroma aroused everyone's appetite.
Dong Daqi tore off a thigh, and he didn't care about roasting, and gnawed wildly, and the old steamed bun scolded Dong Daqi for insulting Sven.
Dong Daqi ate a mouth full of oil, too lazy to take care of the old steamed buns, Ling Jingyang asked the old steamed buns, whether the soldiers have any game, the old steamed buns asked him to put a hundred hearts, he can call a lot of game today, almost every post is divided into two or three hares, pheasants and other game, Ling Jingyang nodded to the old steamed buns, indicating that he is doing a good job.
Then Ling Jingyang and the generals said that there was a soldier who tried to burn the grain and grass to force the soldiers in the city to surrender to Jiannu, and everyone scolded shamelessly. ”
This means to tell others that it doesn't matter which post this surrendered soldier is, but from now on, whoever surrenders Jiannu will have to die, Ling Jingyang Tie said this sentence with a blushing face, and began to arrange tactics to lure the enemy into depth.
He decided to let the prisoners in the city, that is, the group of wrappers, let them see the grain and grass being "burned" with their own eyes, and the soldiers of the Dashun army in the city were infighting, and Fang Xiaoyan led them to take advantage of the chaos, after leaving the city, these people would return to the Jiannu army and tell the Jiannu city infighting, he believed that Jiannu suffered two losses today, and would not waste this good opportunity so easily.
Everyone thinks that Ling Jingyang is arrogant, although Jiannu outside the city was raided once, lost part of the clothing, and was repelled to attack the city again, with hundreds of people lost, but it was still more than the number of people in the city.
Ling Jingyang asked, "How many firearms do we have?" ”
Quan Tiefeng replied to Qin Chu: "There are more than 30 bird guns, more than 50 three-eyed guns, and the others are bows and arrows." ”
There were still a few fewer firearms, and Ling Jingyang suddenly thought of Dong Daqi, so he asked: "Dong Daqi, did you find grain and grass in the city, did you find artillery and other firearms?" ”
Dong Daqi was still eating barbecue, and was asked by Ling Jingyang, thought for a while, and said: "My lord, there seem to be some iron lumps in the armory, and I don't care, why don't I take someone to see it?" ”
Ling Jingyang took down a piece of roe deer meat and said to everyone: "Let's go to the armory and take a look, what are those iron lumps?" ”
Under the leadership of Dong Daqi, the group came to the armory, the armory was very empty, most of the weapons were taken to Shanhaiguan by Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen, only some bulky weapons were left, it was inconvenient to fight long distances this time, so they had to be placed in the armory to eat ashes.
All iron wind, cold as iron is no stranger to the armory, Santun camp as the Jizhen general military palace station, weapons variety, the two also led their subordinates down to the armory to receive weapons, but it is the first time to enter the armory, there is a black thing in the corner of the armory, covered by a large piece of cloth, the old steamed bun stepped forward to lift the cloth, five black and shiny artillery presented in front of everyone.
Ling Jingyang didn't recognize these artillery, others knew, Li Rufeng stepped forward and touched the barrel of the cannon, and said excitedly: "This is the general cannon, let's lure Jiannu into the city, and give Jiannu a salvo of five cannons at the gate of the city, so that Jiannu can also taste the taste of broken bones." ”
Ling Jingyang suddenly thought that there couldn't be only cannons and no cannonballs, and said to everyone: "Look for it and see if there are any cannonballs?" ”
Several people rummaged through the armory, only found two boxes of shells, one of which was damp and could not be used, and the remaining box of shells, only twenty shells, Ling Jingyang thought that there were twenty shells, which was enough, since there were artillery, then who would control it?
The generals present fell into a dead silence, they would use bird guns, they would also use broadswords and spears, but they would not use artillery, no one would use cannons, cannons would be the same as a pile of scrap iron, Ling Jingyang was not depressed, no cannons would be used without cannons, he and the old steamed buns said: "At dawn, you take people to set fires." ”
He also said to Quan Tiefeng and Leng Rutie: "You two lead your subordinates to fight in the city, the more real the fight, the better, so that Bao Yixin thinks that you are really fighting." ”
Li Rufeng said: "What about me? ”
Not only Li Rufeng, but Zhang Luofu also did not receive the combat mission, and was a little indignant, Ling Jingyang and the two said: "As a new force, after Jiannu entered the city, you two attacked from both sides of the city gate to cut off the Jiannu support troops. ”
While talking, Wang Chengen and Zhu Youzhen came in, Wang Chengen looked at the black general cannon, and couldn't help cheering, these five general cannons are good things, Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, referred to the Buddha wolf machine gun, improved the Ming army cannon, and the general cannon made became a heavy weapon for siege and city defense.
Ling Jingyang saw Wang Chengen's eyes shining, and said casually: "Wang En, will you call this thing?" ”
Wang Chengen practiced the forbidden army in the capital, and also learned some skills in controlling artillery, he and Ling Jingyang said that he would control artillery, and also told Ling Jingyang that the five general cannons were lined up and bombarded towards the city gate.
"Okay, Wang En, this banner orders you to be the head of the artillery battalion, and these cannons will be dragged to the south gate, and when Jiannu is brought in, Jiannu will be bombarded."
Wang Chengen was waiting for Ling Jingyang's words, he urgently needed to obtain military power, even if he commanded ten soldiers, it was better than relying on His Majesty for his life, and then Ling Jingyang transferred ten soldiers from the east and west gates to form the first artillery unit under his command.
After everything was ready, Ling Jingyang ordered all departments to start cooperating with the acting, first of all, let Fang Xiaoyan return to the coat, Fang Xiaoyan thought that Ling Jingyang didn't want him, and knelt on the ground and was reluctant to leave.
Ling Jingyang couldn't say anything, so he had to tell him that there might be civil strife in the city tonight, in order to prevent Baoyi from dying in civil strife, he decided to put these Baoyi tonight, and he would take Baoyi out of the city, as for after leaving the city, Fang Xiaoyan could come back, or he could go back to Jiannu.
Fang Xiaoyan swore that he was unwilling to go back to Jiannu to make clothes, he said to Ling Jingyang: "My lord, you are a good person, I will take these clothes out of the city, and I will come back to make cattle and horses for adults, and I will fight hard with Jiannu." ”
Ling Jing asked Fang Xiaoyan to return to the captives at the north gate, Jin Dashou and the others had already untied the rope from each other, waiting for the right time to escape from the city, but saw Fang Xiaoyan sneakily touching it, Jin Dashou hurriedly put the rope on his hand, and from a distance, the rope was not untied.
Fang Xiaoyan came to the captives, and said to Jin Dashou: "Brother Dashou, this Dashun army is going to fight tonight, and we have a chance to get out of the city." ”
Jin Dashou came to the spirit, and hurriedly asked Fang Xiaoyan why there was a sudden fire in the city, Fang Xiaoyan shook his head, just said that when the city was fired, he would go out of the city with everyone, Jin Dashou and the others were all elm heads, and their minds were full of going out of the city, and they knew that Fang Xiaoyan was deliberately putting smoke bombs, and more than 20 Baoyi were honestly squatting at the north gate, and I don't know how long it was, Jin Dashou was sleeping in a daze, Fang Xiaoyan pushed his arm, and said softly: "Brother Big Hand, look there, it's on fire." ”
Jin Dashou and the others hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, there was a huge flame in a place in the city, mixed with the sound of opening the door and throwing Daqing, he quickly stood up and retreated from the north gate with his coat, and when they opened the north gate, Quan Tiefeng rushed over with a group of foot soldiers.
"Don't run."
Jin Dashou was so frightened that his soul fell, and just as Quan Tiefeng and the others were killing at the north gate, Leng Rutie arrived with a group of subordinates: "Hurry up and go, let people from outside the city come to support us." ”
After speaking, Leng Ruiron and the whole wind were in a ball, and the soldiers under his command also fought together with big knives and spears, many soldiers fell to the ground in the "fight", Jin Dashou hurriedly went out of the city with other Baoyi, and after leaving the city, they did not disperse, but returned to the Jiannu army in groups.
Ganda was sleeping Zhengxiang, and was suddenly woken up by his subordinates, saying that there was a change in the city, and the Baoyi who had been captured before had also fled back, and Ganda was disturbed by his dreams, and he was extremely angry, but when he heard that there was a change in the city, Baoyi also came back, and he was suddenly energetic and ordered to bring the Baoyi to him.
Jin Dashou and more than 20 other coats came to Ganda, who looked at the group of tattered coats and asked in blunt words, "What's going on in the city?" ”
"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the city is full of soldiers, saying that the city is going to be dedicated to our Qing Dynasty, and there is a fire in the city, the fire is quite big, it should be burning something that is easy to burn, right?"
Ganda had already suffered two losses from Ling Jingyang, but this time he became cautious, and said to Jin Dashou: "How did you escape?" ”
"The soldiers and horses in the city were in the north gate, and they killed too fiercely, killing many people, and a team of people wanted to kill us, but they were stopped and killed by another team of Dashun soldiers, and let the masters quickly enter the city to support."
This is a good opportunity, Ganda immediately mentioned the Eight Banners and the Armored People, as for the coat, he is not qualified to enter the city to enjoy the fruits of victory,
Outside the city, the Qing army was ready to enter the city, and some soldiers of the Dashun army in the city who faked their deaths stood up one after another, slapped the dirt on their bodies, and retreated to the ambush site.
Wang Chengen and twenty soldiers, struggling to push the general's cannon to a suitable distance from the south gate, and then load ammunition, several of these twenty soldiers know some artillery technology, Wang Chengen will not be too tired, Zhu Youzhen stood on his left side, helped him light the torch, just wait for Jiannu to enter the city, no cannon fire, send Jiannu to the west.
The whole army used bird guns and three-eyed guns, ambushed on both sides of the stairs of the north gate, Jiannu entered the city, bombarded with cannons, after the bombardment ended, the guns played the field, fired a volley with firearms, after a round of salvo fired, the archers appeared, and continued to shoot Jiannu with bows and arrows, at the same time, Zhang Luofu and Li Rufeng led the death squad to block the city gate, cut off the contact between Jiannu and the Jiannu troops outside the city who had not yet entered the city, and helped the large army to eliminate the Jiannu in the city to buy time.
