Chapter 110: The Ming Army's Methods of Attacking the City

Fukangan took a deep breath.

"The general is right, this is what we originally envisioned!"

Attract the Ming army to Gongcheng, and use the city's defense system to inflict enough casualties on the Ming army to make the Ming army pay the price.

This was the original plan of the Qing army.

Even if the Golden Castle is broken in one day now.

This plan should also be implemented.

Regardless of whether the other party is out of luck or not...

"Come on! Call them all! ”

"Reverse Ming is going to work in the city, Ben will put the words here first, Ben will coexist with Ganzhou! ~”

"That's right! Ben will too! ”

The two Qing generals in Ganzhou City shouted loudly.

.......

"The walls of Ganzhou City are so thick, it seems that the other party is very well prepared."

Looking at the layout map of Ganzhou City in his hand, the most eye-catching thing is nothing more than the thick city wall.

Originally, according to the information obtained by Zhu Daohua.

The thickness of the top of the city wall of Ganzhou City is about two meters.

The thickness of the wall base may have reached five meters.

But now.

The thickness of the city wall of Ganzhou City can be said to have undergone a major repair.

First, a circle of sandbag walls was formed, and then the sandbag walls were filled with earth between the sandbag walls and the original city walls.

The thickness has increased a lot.

A large number of bomb shelters were also built at the foot of the city walls.

"That's a lot of work!"

Zhu Daohua gave Napoleon the plan of Ganzhou's city defense drawn by two hot air balloons in the air.

Napoleon looked at it and knew it.

"It takes a lot of explosives to blast through the walls, so you have to prepare some firepower before that. My Majesty, this is my latest opinion, firepower has to be used in a concentrated manner, like a fist... Gathering energy at one point, as long as a gap is opened, it is like a dam collapse, unstoppable. ”

Napoleon looked at the map of the city defense in his hand and handed it to a staff officer beside him.

"Gotta knock out their ridiculous mortars with howitzers first."

Napoleon said.

"Pull those eight big babies over, the explosive power of their cannonballs will ensure that all those cannons on the opposite side will be blown away!" When Napoleon said this, he muttered, 'It's a pity that there are only eight.' ’

Zhu Daohua shook his head when he heard this: "Bonaparte, it's not that the lonely king is reluctant to pay, but this kind of front-loading rifled gun has made too many compromises in order to be able to smoothly stuff the shell into the muzzle, and the future of the artillery can only be a rear-loading rifled gun!" ”

Zhu Daohua is always very firm about the direction of development of this kind of military technology.

After all, he knows it well.

A correct direction is often more difficult than a technical one.

For example, when tanks appeared.

There are all sorts of really magical multi-turret designs.

In the end, after being beaten, everyone knew that the single-turret design of the tank was the most reasonable and optimal design scheme.

And similar cases abound.

The reason why the Ming army under Zhu Daohua was able to develop rapidly in terms of military equipment was able.

It is because of Zhu Daohua that he knows which direction is correct.

It saves a lot of time for exploration and exploration.

So Zhu Daohua will not invest resources in this excessive type of artillery.

"Okay, okay, anyway, we don't expect to directly use cannons to collapse the walls of Ganzhou City, although it is said that the bombardment will take a week or two, the walls of Ganzhou City will definitely not be able to withstand it. But now there is little room for the other side to fight back, especially after bombarding their mortar shells that fire round flowering shells. ”

Napoleon said.

I can't stand it.

Because compared to the previous wooden tray flowering projectiles that could not withstand excessive bore pressure and could only use a small amount of propellant ejection.

The shell casing, which is close to the shell configuration of later howitzers, is a one-piece cast steel up to two centimeters thick.

It can withstand no less chamber pressure than ordinary pig iron solid shells.

Therefore, the cannon has a very high velocity and can be directly aimed at the city wall like a cannonball that fires a solid bullet, and the cannonball explodes after being embedded in the city wall, and the destructive power is much greater than that of a solid projectile.

"Okay, anyway, you will be the commander-in-chief of the siege, after taking Ganzhou City in five days, go north to bite Nanchang City, now it depends on whether Qianlong dares to stay in Nanchang, if he has enough to stay in Nanchang, and when the ironclad ship of the Lone King enters the Yangtze River, he can't run if he wants to, if he has the army of the Lone King, he will run directly, I will see what the gentry of the world will think of such a Tartar emperor."

The corners of Zhu Daohua's mouth rose.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria relied on force to control the Han gentry, and now if the Tartars have no force to suppress them.

He wanted to see how many Han gentry were still rushing to serve the Tartars as dogs.

If there really were people loyal to the Manchus...

Then they were accomplices in defending to the death the brutal reactionary rule of the Manchus.

It must be completely eradicated....

.......

Now Zhu Daohua doesn't know that Emperor Qianlong in Nanchang has been angry and temporarily turned into a vegetative person.

So before the siege officially begins.

He is still very disciplined and salutes before soldiers.

Through a Manchu official who refused to surrender after being captured (there were still loyal ministers), a letter of persuasion was sent into the city of Ganzhou.

In the letter, Zhu Daohua said that it was the upper nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria who committed the crime, these vested interests of the Qing Empire.

In fact, the majority of low-level banner people are also part of the oppression and exploitation.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua expounded in the letter the Ming Dynasty's treatment of those who surrendered.

For those who are willing to be loyal, they are not to blame for the past, and only use the quantity.

For those who did not wish allegiance, they were imprisoned until the end of the war, or they were exchanged for captured Ming personnel.

At the same time, it emphasized that the ethnic policy of the Ming Dynasty was the priority of the Han people.

But if the ordinary banner people change their surnames to Han surnames, then they can also be treated as Han people - after all, they can't speak Manchurian and write Manchurian characters.

And for those accomplices of the reactionary rule of the Qing Empire, including the banner bureaucracy and the Han bureaucracy, they all need to be reformed and their fate determined according to their performance.

This kind of treatment can be said to be quite magnanimous, and benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted.

Pity.

The reactionary leaders of the Qing Empire, led by A Gui and Fukangan, brutally rejected the persuasion of the Ming Dynasty to surrender, stubbornly resisted to the end, and dragged tens of thousands of Qing troops to bury the corrupt, reactionary, stubborn, and criminal rule of the Qing Empire when they knew that they could no longer resist.

This is a report from the post-war [Riyue Bao].

The actual situation is.

The head of the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who entered the city with a letter of persuasion was sent out, and as a result, his body remained in the city.

Since the other party doesn't talk about martial arts, of course Zhu Daohua wants to let Tartar see his martial virtues.

Eight stout pipes roared and poured fire forward.

The observer on the hot air balloon is responsible for observing the effects of the damage and is in constant contact with the ground via a line connecting to the ground.

The angles and bearings of the guns were corrected and directed at any time.

In the case of an eye in the sky.

The effectiveness of artillery fire from the Ming army was very good.

Several rounds of shooting.

and bombarded all the mortar positions carefully arranged by Ah Gui into the sky.

After there was no threat of warp fire in the city.

A large number of large-caliber mortars arrived close and set up positions only about 200 paces away from the city of Ganzhou.

The shells of large-caliber mortars are now also cast in one piece using steel shells, which has a longer range and a larger charge!

The fire of the eight long-range large-caliber howitzers had just stopped.

Dozens of howitzers began to tilt towards the walls ahead, and more intensive fire.

The entire area was covered with artillery fire, and there could be no human presence on this part of the wall.

After blasting away the defenders around the city walls.

The artillery fire began to extend forward, creating a barrier.

Under the cover of fire.

The demolition team of the Ming army swaggered to the bottom of the city wall with explosives bags.

Dig holes in the walls, fill explosives packets, and pull the detonator leads back.

"Good! It went well! ”

Zhu Daohua saw the movements of the demolition team in the telescope.

Under the guidance of the lookout on the hot air balloon, the long-range artillery blasted away the enemy's long-range warp fire.

Dense cover of large-caliber mortar artillery fire.

The blasting team carried out the blasting.

Such a siege strategy.

It was Napoleon who kicked it out.

Concentrate your firepower and attack a little.

Blast the walls with explosives!

In order to ensure smoothness.

Prior to this, the Ming army had conducted many similar military exercises.

Experiment on the damaging effect of the yellow powder explosion on the city wall.

The results have been very encouraging.

In later generations, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom often used this method to attack cities.

The level of castle construction in the Qing Dynasty actually stayed at the level of that time in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, maybe it was not as good.

Because on the one hand, the Qing Dynasty implemented a harsh literary prison.

The circulation of similar books is strictly prohibited.

On the other hand.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty also had little incentive to build fortified cities in Han China - after all, they were ready to run away at any time to return to their hometowns in the northeast.

This led to a time when Europe was playing with various complex bastions to adapt to the warfare of the artillery age.

There was basically no reaction from the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which did not have much high explosive charge, and did not have the superior firepower cover of the Ming army now, could attack the city by digging trenches and blowing up the city walls.

The more professional Ming army is even more problematic.

In the city of Ganzhou.

Ah Gui and Fu Kangan didn't know what was going on under the city.

Because the artillery fire of the Ming army blocked everything.

They don't know why the Ming army kept shelling the area, blocking everyone's access.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"Let's get started!"

"Yes!"

The Demoman in charge of the demolition salutes excitedly.

What an honor it is to be personally received by King Ming!

Wait for Zhu Daohua, Napoleon and others to enter the trenches.

The detonator was ignited.

The lead burned rapidly, and it went down the ground towards the front wall.

The shelling has stopped.

All the artillerymen went into the trenches to take refuge, and the bolder ones poked their heads out and showed their eyes to look ahead.

Finally.

The detonator burned to the fullest.

After the shelling stopped, some Qing soldiers climbed the city wall to look.

It's just that.

How could he see that a large hole had been dug under the city walls.

At least 100 pounds of explosives were stuffed in.

When the spark of the detonator ignited the explosives.

Rumble!!

The earth shook.

The flames exploded.

The masonry was slammed into the sky.

Smoke rose from the ground.

Wait for the smoke to clear...

A huge gap.

Appeared in the city wall of Ganzhou City!!

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
