Chapter 364: Fight with Qinggou

The artillery bombardment of the Qing army was indeed unprecedentedly good, because the prime minister ordered people to carry more than a dozen boxes of silver and put them in front of the battle.

As long as you hit the head of the city, you will be given five taels for one shot, hit on the spot, and cash on the spot.

Or the Prime Minister personally handed out the money, Tong Su was not bullied, and there was no drift at all.

The Eda group of the Petit Franc cannon group fired five shots, and the cannon hit the head of the city, and the artillery crew and Eda had a total of five people, and each of them received five taels.

According to this situation, the medicine can be divided into at least 30 taels per person in their group, and the Ding Feng of the Eight Banners is only 33 taels a year, can this cannon be fired? Do you want to fight hard?

However, after firing five shots in a row, the Eda team suspended the firing of the cannon, there was no way, the barrel of the cannon was hot and needed to cool down for a while.

Taking advantage of the cooling of the barrel, Eda hurried over to receive the silver.

"Five shots, all five shots?"

Jia Liu looked at Eda and the deputy gunner and auxiliary gunner behind him in surprise, confirmed that the battle was true, and happily took out five ingots and five taels of ingots from the silver box and stuffed them in the hands of Eda and the others.

"Okay, good job, keep up the good work, get more rewards for more hits, cut more meat for your wife and children after returning to Beijing, pull more cloth, and it's good to give the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door a silver bracelet."

The encouragement of the Prime Minister made Eda and the others very excited, looking at the silver ingots in their hands, looking at the Prime Minister who was happier than them, and they were also excited.

If you hit it, you will be rewarded with silver, which will be fired at the moment, which greatly stimulates the artillery and greatly improves the hit rate.

This time, the main and deputy gunners of the artillery crew are all lying there and aiming around, and everyone shouts before they are ordered, and it is not something that will fly and go, can the cannon be accurate!

It's really hard to follow Premier Jia, and it's hard not to send it.

Jia Liu's side kept handing out money, he was not afraid that anyone would dare to cheat under his nose if someone ate the bear's heart leopard, but he really enjoyed the feeling of giving people money.

The taste is fluttering, and it is more energetic than making a mother-in-law.

While handing out the money, he quietly told the dog-headed Fanwei: "The five artillery and three hits, write them down for me, and all of them will be transferred to the Changwei Army when I turn around." ”

"Yes, sir."

Fan Wei hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice whether he only remembered the Han army or the Manchurian and Han capitals.

"Remember, remember. I Chang Weijun looks at whether he is familiar with the business, not at their background. If you really want to look at your background, I would have let you cut down you, a bandit. ”

Jia Liu's face smiled.

He employs people, and he doesn't look at his background.

The Qing army's artillery was accurate, but the victorious army in the city was miserable.

Seeing that his companions around him were fine just now, he was suddenly killed by a cannon in the blink of an eye, and the timid one cried at that time.

Wu Da, a farmer in Yanggu County, was originally lying on his stomach with his butt clinging to the city wall, but he didn't expect that his neighbor Gu Er on the side was hit by the falling cannonball, and he was so frightened that he subconsciously ran to the side with a scream.

As a result, a brick that ejected from the wall hit him in the face, peeling off a large piece of skin, not to mention, and smashed off two of his front teeth, so painful that he tore a piece of cloth and covered his face while shouting.

I regret it like something.

I knew that the officials and soldiers were really coming, so I didn't fall into the eyes of the money, because I was reluctant to nest in the city for a hundred yuan, now it's okay, although the money is still there, but my own life is about to be gone.

After spitting out the blood in his mouth, another iron ball fell not far away, and jumped up again the moment it hit the ground, impartially smashing on the back of a leader who was shouting at his subordinates not to run around, and smashed the leader's backbone on the spot.

The artillery of the Qing army outside the city fought desperately into the city as if they didn't want money.

An iron ball did not disappear, and when it jumped again, it smashed heavily on the head of a soldier with a white scarf on his head, instantly embedded in his head, and his brain flowed to the ground.

An iron ball didn't know how to bounce, and it passed directly through the stomach of a frightened Chang Shengjun who was kneeling there, instantly taking away all the flesh and bones, revealing a large empty round hole "poof" bubbling with blood.

On the city wall, there were pools of blood everywhere, and corpses and severed arms and stumps were scattered everywhere, and in some areas there was too much blood flowing, and people slipped when they walked on it.

Outside the city, the horn of "woo" sounded, and the Qing army was about to attack the city.

"Rush, a long-haired man's head will be rewarded with five taels!"

Ying Jitu, the counselor minister and the second-class guard in front of the imperial court, who took the initiative to ask Ying Ying to cooperate with the Zhili soldiers to attack the city, put his braids to his neck, waved his knife and led his subordinates to the city wall.

The Zhili soldiers also roared under the leadership of the chief soldier Wan Chaoxing and the deputy general Marqing'a, and rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

There are those who carry ladders, those who push shield carts, and those who push tall buildings.

Typical cold-weapon siege methods.

The other gates also began to climb the city after receiving the signal.

Jia Liu, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, found from the clairvoyant mirror that a Changsheng army wrapped in white cloth rushed out of the new city, apparently on the order of Wang Lun to reinforce the old city.

"Your master is not a fool."

Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Jia Liu asked Fan Wei with some anxiety: "The east gate is indeed guarded by Wang Jinglong?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Fang nodded.

There was a sudden loud "boom" in the distance, which was louder than the Qing army's mountain-splitting cannon and small Franco.

Jia Liu was startled, looked up, and saw a thick cannon barrel rising from the city wall in his sight, and then falling diagonally from the air.

However, it was the Chang Sheng Army that used the four old cannons that were more than 100 years old, but I don't know if it was because the medicine was too much or the old cannons were too old, and no artillery shells were fired, but the barrels were lifted up, killing several gunners who Chang Sheng's army had managed to put together.

Seeing that the cannon could not be used, Wang Jinglong, the marshal of the Changsheng Army who guarded the old city of Linqing, did not mean to give up the old city, but led the descendants to start firing arrows outside the city, trying to repel the Qing army attacking the city.

It's just that the bows and crossbows of the Changsheng army were captured from the Shandong Green Battalion, the quantity and quality are not good, and there are no specially trained archers in the army, so in the face of the Qing army's swarming attack, it is impossible to condescend to shoot the Qing soldiers on a large scale with the rain of arrows.

After paying dozens of casualties, the Eight Banners of the Forward Battalion, Firearms Battalion, and Escort Battalion commanded by Yingjitu rushed to the city in armor.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, the artillery of the Qing army stopped bombardment.

The probe looked down and found that the Qing army was building a ladder, and Wang Jinglong ordered the soldiers to throw stones below.

He himself even worked with his relatives to lift a stone slab weighing more than 300 catties, and pushed the slate down with shouts.

"Not good!"

After the Eight Bannermen who were building a ladder below found that there were huge stone slabs on it, a Xiao cavalry school exclaimed in surprise and instinctively ran back, but there were swarms of bannermen behind him, where could he run out.

The stone slab fell from the sky, and more than a dozen Eight Banner soldiers, including the Na Xiao Cavalry School, were pressed under the stone slab.

Some of them breathed on the spot, and some of them had their legs pressed under the stone slabs, but their bodies were outside.

Around the slate, blood and meat were everywhere.

"Brothers, fight with Qinggou!"

Under the leadership of Marshal Wang Jinglong, the Qingshui soldiers in the city continued to drop stones, causing heavy casualties to the Qing troops who were climbing outside the city.

After many Qing soldiers were hit by stones, they directly made a ball with the mud and blood on the ground, and they couldn't even see their appearance, red, white, black, sticky, and they looked so bad.

When Jia Liu, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the tragic situation of his own siege troops under Dongcheng through the clairvoyant mirror, his fists clenched tightly, and he said excitedly: "Pass on my military order, and those who retreat without a military order will be killed!" ”
