Chapter 170: Eating is important
The constant whistling of cannonballs overhead completely destroyed the psychological defense line of the soldiers of the Houjinhan military camp who were not far from the city wall, and the roar of this gunpowder and steel together made them a little frightened.
My legs couldn't stop shaking, and my body couldn't stop trying to step back.
As a few "traitors" who were bought by Hou Jin for a lot of money and promises, his face also changed slightly at this time, and he knew very well what kind of blow the Eight Banners soldiers behind him were experiencing.
And in the middle of the camp ..
How could Duoduo not understand that the Ming army's strategy had once again fooled him, and the price he paid was too tragic... So I heard Duoduo shouting loudly: "Give me the order, our artillery battalion will also open fire, and fire at Fuzhou!" ”
The leader of Jiannu on the side nodded, and gave his hand to take the order: "Yes!" Lord Belle, I'll arrange it! ”
"Let's go!"
If it was said that he died in the fight, died in the melee, Duoduo would not have been as heartbroken as he is now.
The soldiers in the Han camp almost didn't die, but the other party concentrated artillery fire to beat their own bannermen and couldn't raise their heads, which made Duoduo how to accept.
So I had to hope that the red-coated cannon I brought could work wonders in this attack at the first time.
But he did not realize how huge the gap between these two types of artillery was.
It's like a grandfather and a grandson, it's true that there is a blood relationship, but when the grandfather beats his grandson, does he dare to fight back?
But Dordor dared to organize people to fight back.
"Hurry up, if you miss the fighter, Lord Belle will not let any of them go! If you want to live, move me quickly! The Jiannu soldier with a fierce face said angrily to the Han soldiers beside him.
"Yes, yes, yes! Master, you can dissipate your anger, and you will definitely be able to fire at most if you have half a column of incense! ”
The Han officer of the Han military camp artillery said with a flattering face, in order to avoid the Jiannu in front of him, he took advantage of the gap in the current attack on Fuzhou City to make a fuss.
Gritting his teeth, he took out a small silver ingot the size of a finger from the hidden place in his arms.
This was something he had found out from a dead Jiannu during the war, and he had been worried that the unknown source would attract attention, so he kept it until now.
Seeing that the silver was stuffed into his hand, the Jiannu soldier said no more.
He just glanced up, "You guys have to hurry!" Lord Belle's military order to fire back has been issued, and if the big thing is really delayed, I can't protect you..."
"Yes, yes, you are worried about the master. You have a good rest, and when the city of Fuzhou is broken, the minions of our Han army will go into the city for you to catch a few women and send them to you..."
"This! That's good! You minion! Hahaha, you're so sensible! Let's get to work! "He kept fiddling with the silver he had just gotten.
The Jiannu soldiers, who were in charge of supervising the Han artillery, retreated.
Sitting on the ground, sitting in place and waiting for the Han soldiers.
And not far away.
"Big brother.. Are we really going to shoot under the walls? A Han soldier was still a little afraid, thinking that if he was discovered by the Jiannu soldiers, this would be a crime of killing his head.
Syllable! Rounding his hand and patting the Han soldier who spoke, the officer gritted his teeth and said: "It's already decided something, don't drop the chain at a critical time, otherwise we will feel good at that time!" If you don't succeed in this matter, you will become a benevolent! Do you understand? ”
"Understood! I'll get on with my work! ”
... The Houjin artillery position was still organizing a decent counterattack, and on the other side, Du Chengan was eating the noon stew while arranging another set of battle plans.
"When we were discussing what to eat at noon today, Staff Officer Zhang of our division gave me an inspiration, let's discuss it with the help of eating..."
Du Chengan used the wooden spoon in his hand to send the vegetable rice to his mouth, and while fiddling with his hand in the air, he said: "Guess now that it's time for lunch, why Houjin chose to attack at this time?" ”
An officer on the side replied puzzledly: "Is it because you want us to not eat?" Isn't this a pipe dream? We have the logistics. ”
Du Chengan shook his head: "Of course not!" ”
"One of the main purposes why Houjin chose to attack now, according to my observation, the Han soldiers who came to attack this time did not eat, and Houjin did not have three meals a day, so this group of Houjin's Jiannu searched for the minions who were reluctant to give them the last meal before they died!"
Du Chengan's statement seemed to wake everyone up.
"I'll just say, as soon as the shelling began, many Han soldiers sat on the ground one after another, panting heavily, because they couldn't keep up with their physical strength without eating in the morning."
"The round of shelling just now made Houjin tired of coping and wantonly gathered the soldiers of the Han military camp back, but this is far from enough.."
Du Chengan opened his mouth and said:
Everyone stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and asked, "Commander, what do you say?"
"I think that after repelling the Houjin soldiers this time, they want to send this group of Han soldiers to the front line again, so they have to give them a meal anyway..."
"Then after they go back, they will choose to bury the pot and cook as soon as possible, after all, they are hungry, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Han minions in the Han military camp when attacking, it is difficult to say whether they can even run..."
"Yes!"
"In that case... I announce! ”
Du Chengan's tone changed, and everyone understood that the division commander in front of them was about to give an order, so they only heard Du Chengan continue: "At noon today, organize all the artillery fire of the artillery brigade, including the new artillery in the city and on the city wall!" Let's teach the Jiannu of Houjin a lesson! ”
...
Noon was not long in coming, and since the first attack on Fuzhou was completely routed due to the sudden artillery bombardment of the Heavenly Tiger Army, Duoduo did not dare to continue the attack.
Instead, a large number of soldiers were withdrawn in time.
and set up his camp a few miles away from Fuzhou City.
After all, with the city wall as an absolute angle of shelling, it is easy to hit a lot farther than the maximum range of the artillery.
From time to time, a few stray bullets flew at the battalion during the morning shelling.
It caused many Houjin soldiers in the battalion to panic, and finally killed dozens of people.
After the camp was re-established, not only the Han soldiers were hungry, but even the Manchurian soldiers in Houjin were now a little hungry, looking at the Han minions who were burying pots and preparing lunches for them.
Even Duoduo feasted on a freshly stewed leg of lamb in the tent.
