Chapter 0221: The Attack on Shu Begins
Whether it was siege or artillery defense, the Qing army's response was to make shield vehicles.
After Liu Jinzhong heard Haoge's order, he arched his hand and said, "General, I heard that the cannonballs from the artillery in Qin Zuoming's hands can explode.
In this way, the shield cart must be made with a cover, and his cannonballs will not smash the shield cart like stone bullets. ”
Luo Luohun, the king of the county, also nodded, and he asked Ao Bai and the others who were put back by Qin Zuoming.
The shells fired by the bandits' artillery are not solid, they will explode, and they will directly blow up these people stupidly.
That's a very frightening thing.
However, according to the principle of the red-coated cannon, the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty deduced that the artillery of Sichuan and Shu must also be very heavy, and the interval between firing must be very long.
This judgment is also in line with the county king Luo Luohun's cognition, if the artillery in Qin Zuoming's hand is extremely sharp, he will not hide and ambush.
And the treatment of captives is especially secrecy in this regard, rather than giving them a look with great confidence.
The county king, Luo Luohun, asked the craftsmen who were proficient in firearms, and the craftsmen replied that the bandits must have used artillery to shoot mines instead of stone bullets.
This kind of thing was also ordered to be imitated by Emperor Shunzhi, but it killed many craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty and made no progress.
For this reason, even the most good firearms Jurchen Tong Zi's own son was killed in the test, and Tang Ruowang, who was favored by Emperor Shunzhi, was even more puzzled.
He thought that the artillery he made was advanced enough, but he never thought that there would be such a powerful firearm.
He knew about the missionaries in the Great Western Army in Chengdu, and John Tong wrote in the name of the church.
But he never received a reply from the Sichuan and Shu missionaries.
The Qing court's research on explosive shells came to a standstill.
After this battle, as long as the artillery in Qin Zuoming's hand was captured, the Qing Dynasty could imitate it.
Back then, Tang Ruowang made a cannon for Emperor Chongzhen, and now he is making it for Emperor Shunzhi, and there is no way to imitate it no matter what.
And he felt that the act of shooting the mines out of the artillery was so crazy that he refused to do it himself.
Therefore, the Qing court died of some bold and skilled artillery craftsmen who did not believe in evil or were persecuted.
"Has Zhang Xianzhong ever gotten this kind of artillery in his hand?" Luo Luohun, the king of the county, looked at Liu Jinzhong with burning eyes.
Liu Jinzhong shook his head, if Zhang Xianzhong could get this kind of thing, how could he sit back and watch the more than 200 warships sink into the river?
He heard that Qin Zuoming's light troops attacked Chengdu, and Zhang Xianzhong did not even resist, and hurriedly withdrew from Chengdu.
It is enough to see how terrifying the power of Qin Zuoming's artillery is.
Luo Luohun, the king of the county, stood in the hall and looked at the map, and all the forces in central Sichuan were marked.
He took off the small logo belonging to Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu Mansion again and inserted Qin Zuoming's logo.
"If my Qing Dynasty attacks Sichuan and Shu, will the forces of all parties in Sichuan and Shu unite?"
Luo Luohun, the king of the county, looked at the map and had some questions in his heart, since the Qing army entered the customs, everything has been smooth and smooth.
Only in Sichuan and Shu, Wanyan Yechen, the Minister of Parliament, and the first Batu Lu Aobai of the Qing Dynasty, either died here in battle, or became a waste.
Therefore, Qin Zuoming's gang of bandits will be suppressed no matter what!
"Back to the king's words." Liu Jinzhong said thoughtfully: "Qin Zuoming once had private contact with Zhang Xianzhong, saying that if Zhang Xianzhong went north to attack the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely help the Great Western Army. ”
"Heh, Qin Zuoming really deserves to die." Hauge snorted: "When I catch him and escort him back to the capital, I will definitely kill him myself." ”
"In this way, in recent days, Qin Zuoming has issued a call for the people to farm, and we should send a large number of fine workers back to Chengdu to make trouble, so that he can take care of himself."
When there are many people, it is easy to cause chaos.
It's inevitable.
Before the Qing army went all out to attack the Great Western Army, Luo Luohun, the king of the county, decided to find something for Qin Zuoming to do.
"Liu Jinzhong, these things need you to send someone out."
Haoge brought the men and horses of Zhengchuan this time, the money rat tail of Yishui, and even Wu Sangui's people had already shaved their hair and changed their clothes to show their loyalty to the Qing court.
Now he no longer mentions anything "revenge on the monarch's father", Li Zicheng died, called Chongzhen the old master, and began to be loyal to the new dynasty.
Otherwise, this expedition, Haoge would not have taken him with him to the expedition to Sichuan and Shu.
The people brought by the Qing court had no way to do it as a fine work, and as for using other people, Haoge was not at ease.
Hauge almost agreed with Luo Luohun's idea, and this time he came to train him.
"I heard that Qin Zuoming recruited many old units of the Great Western Army." Nikan, who has been sitting on a chair and watching the situation on the field, said:
"Just contact them one or two, if there is merit, I will never treat them badly."
"Humble duty understands." Liu Jinzhong bowed slightly.
Haoge saw Nikan speak: "Nikan, this time my red-clothed cannon of the Qing Dynasty is going to face Qin Zuoming's artillery, don't let me down." ”
Nikan has an experienced artillery team in his hands, and he smiled even more when he heard this: "Don't worry, the general knows it." ”
"Now my banner is still in Shaanxi, and I came to Sichuan and Shu." Hauge stood up and said, "Now that the guide is already there, the soldiers are fast, and we will quickly attack the Great Western Army." ”
"Yes." The crowd responded.
"Cherb."
"The minister is here." Cherbu, who had already inherited the title of Yan Yechen, immediately stood up: "I don't know what the general commands?" ”
"Boluo, Tunji, Wu Sangui."
"The minister is here."
"Order you to lead the Eight Banners as the vanguard to advance lightly, with Liu Jinzhong as the guide, surprise attack Zhang Xianzhong, and set off in half an hour."
"Yes."
With a wave of his hand, Hauge told them to go down and get ready.
Luo Luohun, the king of the county, looked at the map and said: "Zhang Xianzhong's army is unstable now, and I have nothing to worry about him." ”
Nikan sat on a chair and drank tea and said, "Are you worried about Qin Zuoming's artillery?" ”
"Yes, this matter should not be taken lightly." Luo Luohun, the king of the county, looked back at Nikan and said:
"Especially Lord Nikan, don't be proud of the enemy, you are the most elite artillery man in my Qing Dynasty, and I have to point to you in this battle."
"Me?" Nikan put down the teacup and shook his head: "My army with the best firearms in the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of Kong Youde, but he is attacking the small court of Longwu. ”
For the matter of destroying the Ming Dynasty, those generals before the Ming Dynasty did the most energetically.
Of course, this does not rule out that they were a means of desperately showing their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
"Those minions are not our people after all." The county king Luo Luohun still doesn't look down on these generals.
Hauge nodded approvingly, and the Manchurian high-level had great contempt for the Han people who surrendered.
Nikan sneered instead: "Then why do you believe that Liu Jinzhong is not a fraud?" ”
