Chapter 103: You Have Cannons, I Have Divine Skills (3)
Boom! Boom!
One by one, the cannons hit directly on the western wall of Matsuyama Castle.
And the western wall of Songshan City, on the side of the Xuanfu soldiers, has been beaten to the point that they can't raise their heads due to the difference in firepower.
If this continues, the western wall will fall.
At this time, Hong Chengchou, the governor, had already reached the bottom of the western city wall, and he did not climb the city wall in case he was accidentally hit by a cannonball: "Now the artillery fire of the Qing army is very fierce, look at this situation, how long can you hold it?"
"It depends on how strong the wall is. But Songshan City is not a strong city like Jinzhou after all, and it can't be defended for too long. In this case, they can only send the army out first, rush to the camp of the Qing army, and fight the enemy in the field. "Yang Guozhu has been the chief soldier of Xuanfu for so many years, has fought for so many years, and has extremely old and spicy combat experience, so he quickly made such a decision.
However, this is actually a very reluctant decision.
Field!
Hehe.
There is an army that can really complete the Qing army in the field, and that is the Qi family's army.
Yao remembers the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, Nurhachi led a large army to besiege Shenyang. Ming Dynasty guards He Shixian, You Shizhong out of the city to engage the enemy because of anger, both in the ambush were killed, tens of thousands of Mongolian hungry people in the city cut down the bridge in the back of the Jin army, known as the impregnable Shenyang was broken in one day, 70,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were killed.
At that time, the rapid march galloped thousands of miles, and the Sichuan army of the Ming Dynasty and the Qijia army of Zhejiang, who had not rested at all, just arrived on the south bank of the Hunhe River, and found that the pig teammates He Shixian and You Shizhong had fallen into a fortified city like Shenyang in one day, but they were caught in a desperate situation.
At the military meeting, Chen Ce and Tong Zhonghua, the two general soldiers, finally made the deployment of taking the initiative to attack, replacing defense with offense, and waiting for reinforcements in a bloody battle when the enemy was strong and we were weak. The team, which numbered less than 10,000 men, was divided into two parts and launched a suicidal attack on the powerful Houjin army. Qi Jin, the chief general of the Qi family army and Qi Jiguang's nephew, commanded the Qi family army, which was good at firearms, and quickly set up a famous car formation on the south bank of the Hunhe River. The young Sichuan generals Zhou Dunji and Qin Minping led more than 3,000 Sichuan soldiers to cross the river from the Hunhe pontoon bridge, and rushed to the Eight Banners Army on the north bank.
And the Qing army also knew that the Qi army and the Sichuan army were the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty, so they fully pressed tens of thousands of people to fight this army of less than 10,000 people.
What happened to the result, in the case of a bloody battle between the two sides, the Qing army of tens of thousands of people could only fight a tie with the Qi family army and the Sichuan army, which came with less than 10,000 people and were tired and sleepy for thousands of miles.
In the end, Fushun surrendered to the general Li Yongfang commanded the artillery from Shenyang City, completely covering the entire Sichuan army's position, the Houjin army swarmed up, and finally broke the brave Sichuan army, Zhou Dunji, Qin Minping and other most of them were killed, only a few people rushed across the pontoon bridge and returned to the camp on the south bank of the Hunhe River of the Qijia army.
In the end, only the Qi family army was supporting, and there were only thousands of people.
But even so, the Qi family army has been fighting bloodily.
In the end, the entire Qing army lost nearly 10,000 people before it wiped out the Qi family army of several thousand.
Whether it is the actual record of the Ming Dynasty or the history of the Ming Dynasty repaired by the Qing Dynasty, all of them praise the bravery of the Sichuan and Zhejiang legions in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, calling this battle "dignified and vigorous", "Shi Xianzhuang", and "the first bloody battle since the use of troops by Liaozuo".
Only a small number of Qi soldiers who broke through in advance and stayed behind in Liaoyang survived, and the Ming court sent people to comfort the labor army and promised a heavy reward, but these soldiers refused with tears, not asking for a reward, but only asking for another battle, vowing to avenge Qi Jin and other fallen soldiers. The officials and people of the court sincerely praised that these ordinary soldiers actually had the style of a national soldier!
Ten days later, in the Battle of Liaoyang, all these soldiers were killed.
At that time, the strongest army was not the Qing army at all, but the Qi army, which could meet several times the Qing army.
However, the pig teammates are too piggy, and they buried such an army.
And the rest of the Ming army, what is the Guanning Iron Cavalry that has blown up to the sky in history, to put it bluntly, they are all scum troops, and they can't fight!
If you divide the armies of this era.
The Qi family army is a first-rate army, the Qing army is a second-rate army, the border army of the Ming army is a third-rate army, the other armies of the Ming army are considered a fourth-rate army, and the armies of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can also be regarded as a fourth-rate army.
And the ordinary Ming army, if they want to go out of the city with the Qing army, it is really unlikely that they can fight.
However, now Yang Guozhu has no choice, even if he loses a part of his troops, he must drag the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, otherwise the entire Songshan City will be finished.
At this time, He Xuan was still indulging in hard thinking, and seemed to have some inspiration, but he couldn't catch it in a short time.
Suddenly, at this time, there was a flash of inspiration.
These cannons were placed 600 paces away to bombard the city.
The average archer has a range of 100 paces.
His strength is five and two times that of the average archer, and he also has a four-stone strong bow, which can give full play to his strength perfectly. Therefore, the limit of his bow and arrow should be about 520 meters. Of course, since he was standing on top of a six-meter-high wall, he could shoot arrows at a range of more than 500 meters, reaching 600 to 700 meters.
You can shoot the gunners of the Qing army yourself.
The position of gunner, which requires a long period of training, is not something that can be obtained casually.
A qualified gunner can hit the position to be hit.
And an unqualified gunner could not hit where it was going to hit.
Fighting artillery is not an easy thing to do.
In the twentieth century, those gunners needed to go to a special military school to learn how to shoot artillery.
If you can hunt all these gunners, then ...... It is very difficult for the Qing army to transfer qualified gunners in a short period of time, so wouldn't it be possible to alleviate the artillery bombardment of the Qing army.
You have cannons, I have miraculous skills!
At this time, Zheng Xuan heard Yang Guozhu say that he would send a part of the Ming army out to die, and He Xuan immediately stopped him: "Wait, don't do this." I have a way. ”
Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu were also quite surprised when they heard it: "Do you have a way?"
"The Qing army had thirty cannons, and they were bombarding the western city wall. Well, I'm going to shoot their gunners. ”
"These gunners and their cannons are all six hundred paces away, can you shoot them?" Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu were both extremely surprised, what are you kidding, six hundred steps! The effective killing of a normal shooter is one hundred steps, and the last time He Xuan sniped the Manchu Prince Zheng Jierharang, it was only more than a hundred steps, and everyone can understand it. Now suddenly saying that he can shoot a gunner six hundred paces away, what the hell is this?
Is this really still human?
How is it possible to shoot an enemy six hundred paces away?
Hong Chengchou and Yang Guozhu only have one feeling now, they have fought countless times on the battlefield in the past few decades, and the mindset they have cultivated is about to collapse.
"It should be. He Xuan nodded solemnly.
"Okay, then we'll wait to see General He's magic skills. Hong Chengchou said with some difficulty.
"If this can be done, I can only say, He Shenjiang, I have completely obeyed. Yang Guozhu also said in shock.
Shoot the enemy from 600 paces away!
Normal people, six hundred steps away, can't see clearly!
How far is that!
(This chapter commemorates the Qi family's army, the strongest army in the late Ming Dynasty! If it weren't for the pig teammates, the Qi family's army would be invincible! The wild boar skin is a hair!)
