Nanming Yiming

Chapter 134 Abandoning Jinshanwei

After realizing it, Diao Shigui quickly shouted: "After shooting, immediately lean against the city wall to avoid the arrows. The Mongols will release the arrows according to the position of the white smoke from the firecrackers."

Sure enough, after the Ming army adjusted its tactics, it was difficult for the Mongols' bows and arrows to hit the Ming army on the city.

However, the shooting effect of the Ming army's Lumi blunderbuss is really not good. After all, people can't see clearly, so they can only shoot according to the sound made by the Qing army filling the river.Although there are some gains every time, there is no way to stop the Qing army from filling up the moat.

Fortunately, the Ming army has sufficient ammunition, and the two sides have been fighting fiercely.

Finally, with the coming of Buddha's dawn, the sky gradually became pale. Bayan saw the light, and quickly ordered to withdraw his troops.

He knew very well that once the Ming army could find their position with the help of light, they would only be beaten.

At this time, Ming Jun, who had been tossed all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw more than 300 corpses of the Qing army lying all over the city, but my side actually lost 110 people, most of whom were blocked by Mongolian bows and arrows during the first three rounds of shooting.

You must know that the Qing army lost a full 1300 people in order to capture two fortresses yesterday, while the Ming army only suffered 6 minor injuries.

What's more troublesome is that the moat ahead has almost been filled by the Qing army.

On the other hand, the Ming army was exhausted after being tossed by the Qing army all night.

Fortunately, a reserve team of 300 people was reserved last night, otherwise they would not know how to deal with the Qing army's siege today.

According to the order of the governor's office, Diao Shigui and the others only need to stick to it until noon today, and then if there are too many casualties, they can board the ship and evacuate Jinshanwei from the sea.

However, Diao Shigui did not intend to retreat at this point. He still wanted to use Jinshanwei to kill the Qing army as much as possible. He knew that the longer he persisted here, the more opportunities he would leave for other Ming troops.

But he only had 1000 troops in his hands, and he had no idea how long he could last against the 5000 elite Qing troops, including the [-] Manchurian Eight Banners.

On the Qing side, Bashan felt very excited.

He was still worried yesterday. He didn't expect Bayan's tactics to be so successful, and the moat was almost filled.

More importantly, the casualties of the Qing army were not large. The death of only 300 people almost filled the moat, which is simply too valuable, let alone the green battalion soldiers who died.

Bashan said loudly: "Mr. Tang, you did a good job at night. Now Jinshanwei is on the verge of collapse. I hope you will continue to work hard and smash the city directly."

Hearing this, Tang Li wanted to die.

He cursed secretly: I haven't rested since I beat yesterday; I've been busy for several hours at night, and I can't even catch my breath. Even an animal can't handle it like this.

But he didn't dare to refuse to carry out Bashan's order.

Tang Li said: "My lord, Dutong, it is Mao time now, and it is only an hour and a half away from the high tide. Our army is attacking the city at this time, in case Jinshanwei cannot be captured soon; once the giant ships of the Ming army appear, Wouldn't that be a waste of all previous efforts?"

Hearing Tang Li's remarks, Bashan scorned for a moment, and thought: These Han people are really cowards, they always try to find excuses to avoid war.

But after all, a lot of efforts were made to attack Jinshanwei Tang Li this time, and the subordinate Green Battalion has reduced its staff by one-third. At this time, Bashan is not easy to be harsh.

So Ba Shan eased his tone, and said to Tang Li: "It is very hard for Tang Zongbing to attack the city repeatedly. Ben Dutong thought it was from the early Qing Dynasty. When Jinshanwei is captured, he will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." .”

"You are tired, and the Ming army is even more tired. At this time, the Ming army must not be given a chance to breathe. I hope that General Tang will continue to work hard. I will leave the first victory of breaking the city to you."

"Don't worry, this time I, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, will personally support you, and I will definitely be able to conquer the city in one fell swoop."

Seeing that his "objection was invalid", Tang Li could only accept the reality, and said loudly: "The last general will launch an attack right now, and I will definitely live up to Lord Dutong's expectations."

On the west city of Jinshanwei, the Ming army who stayed behind quickly rang the alarm bell again.

Shouted: "The Qing army has begun to attack the city, everyone is ready to meet the enemy!"

I saw a large number of Qing troops in the distance pushing the chariot slowly forward.

Tang Li drew out his saber and shouted: "The moat has almost been filled in. Everyone cheers me up and breaks through the city. I will reward you a lot!"

Perhaps it was easier to fill the pit at night, and the Qing army at this time did not have the slightest timidity to fight.Although these Green Battalion soldiers were exhausted, they did not dare to complain when they saw the Manchurian Eight Banners "pressing the formation" behind them. They still shouted slogans and launched an attack on Jinshanwei.

Diao Shigui, who was watching the battle in the city at this time, sneered and said, "The Qing army dare to be so arrogant during the daytime. Let's show them some color by firing cannons."

After all, the Flang machine guns and tiger squat guns of the Ming army in Xicheng roared at the Qing army.

A shell fell from the sky, and the sound of the explosion was deafening. The Qing soldiers were turned on their backs, as if the whole earth was trembling.Several vehicles were directly hit by shells and brought a large number of people around.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Bashan couldn't help being stunned, and said loudly: "They are also cannons. Why are the shells fired by the Ming army so powerful that each cannon can blow up a large area."

Batu has fought against the Ming army for a long time, and he also has a lot of research on firearms, otherwise he would not have thought of using the weakness of the smoke after the fire of the Ming army in the dark to attack.He quickly saw the clue to this puzzling problem, and said: "It's the problem of the shells. The shells fired by the Ming army are not solid shells. This kind of shells will explode immediately when they hit the ground. There are many iron marbles and iron pieces, and these things can do a lot of damage to soldiers."

"Our cannons all fire solid bullets. Only those who are directly hit and those who are crushed by these solid bullets will suffer casualties. The power of the two is very different."

Although he figured out why the Ming army's retreat was so powerful, Bashan had nothing to do about it, thinking that it was fortunate that Tang Li's Green Battalion soldiers were consumed now, and his Eight Banners warriors were still unscathed.

The car soon arrived at the moat. After the Qing army's overnight earthworks, the moat, which was originally 20 meters wide, is now only about 5 meters wide.

Soon the Qing army began throwing sandbags into the river swiftly.

At this time, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" sounded again, and the Lumi blunderbuss of the Ming army directly penetrated the chariot, and many Qing soldiers were directly pierced through their bodies.

After just a few rounds of shooting, the death toll of the Qing army has exceeded the total number for several hours at night.

Although the Green Battalion soldiers also used their bows and arrows to continuously throw them on the city, which slowed down the shooting speed of some Ming troops.

But their shooting skills are really far from the Mongolian cavalry, and they didn't actually cause too many casualties.

Diao Shigui shouted: "Aim at the Qing army and beat me hard. They thought it was because we couldn't see people clearly at night. They must pay the price today."

Tang Li's heart is bleeding, the Ming army's firepower is fierce, and this time, he took the lives of seven or eight hundred brothers.But he didn't throw a few bags of soil into the river. If the beating continues like this, all the men and horses in his hands will probably be lost here.

He was so anxious that he was constantly thinking about countermeasures.It is said that he is eager to develop wisdom, but he really thought of a way.

Tang Li shouted: "Don't fill in the soil, it's just the last few meters, just push the cart into the river for me."

Although the firecrackers of the Ming army were very vigorous, the Lumi blunderbuss still had a certain amount of time between shots.

The Qing army took advantage of this gap and desperately pushed the chariot into the moat.

So the carts filled with soil were pushed directly into the moat, and the Qing army miraculously completed the task of filling the river.

The Qing army was not stupid and knew that the bottom of the city wall was the dead angle for shooting. Seeing that the moat had been filled, they rushed under the city wall.

Diao Shigui did not expect the Qing army to attack the city so quickly and shouted: "The Qing army who filled the river just now did not bring ladders at all. Don't worry about the Qing army below the city, aim at the Qing army pushing the ladder behind and shoot."

"Bang, bang, bang"

The soldiers pushing the ladders were taken care of by the Ming army, and soon the sides of the ladders were piled up with corpses.

A strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The Qing army that had already attacked the city had no ladders to attack the city.

And no one dared to push the ladder at the back, and as soon as they got close to the ladder, they immediately became the target of the Ming army.

So the Qing army under the city also discovered that as long as they don't push the ladder, they are fine, so they simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead to avoid the Lumi guns of the Ming army.

Bashan jumped into a rage from behind, and these green camp soldiers who were afraid of death actually sneaked and played tricks in front of him.But there was nothing to do, the Qing army who was supervising the battle behind could not hold these green battalion soldiers with their knives to push the ladder to attack the city.

The Qing army touched the city but was unable to attack it.

At this time, the Eight Banners of Manchuria can only be dispatched to participate in the siege.

Following Bashan's order, a Qing army leader led 1000 red flags of the Manchurian Eight Banners and rushed up.

As soon as they saw the real Tartars attacking, the gunners of the Ming army also adjusted their strategy and started shooting at these Eight Banners soldiers.

However, these Eight Banners soldiers were all wearing double armor, and the Lumi blunderbuss really couldn't penetrate their armor from ninety steps away.

And they are not fools, they all let the green battalion soldiers stand in front.

Seeing that Master Baqi went into battle in person, those green battalions didn't dare to steal and play tricks anymore, and pushed the ladders forward regardless of casualties.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry also began to dispatch, using bows and arrows to continuously shoot towards the city.

The bows and arrows of the Qing army continued to be thrown onto the city, which caused great obstacles to the shooting of the Ming army.

Diao Shigui grabbed a feathered arrow and shouted: "This is the person who attacked us in the early morning. The musketeer aimed at the group of Mongols behind and beat me hard."

"Bang, bang, bang"

Following a salvo from the city, nearly 200 Mongolian cavalrymen were shot and fell to the ground, and the panicked Mongolian cavalrymen also turned their horses and retreated.

Now the Ming army can be regarded as out of breath!
But the Qing army took advantage of this gap and quickly pushed the ladder to the city wall.

Diao also realized his mistake at this moment, and shouted: "Spikemen step forward, the Qing army is about to start climbing the ladder to attack the city."

These Mongolian cavalry were very cunning. Seeing that the Qing army in front had pushed the ladder to the bottom of the city, they knew that the Ming army on the city was about to fight, so they advanced to a distance of about 70 steps and shot arrows at the top of the city.

Some Ming soldiers who did not pay attention to protecting themselves were shot by their tricky feather arrows and died on the spot.

But soon there was a loud "boom", and the shells fell one after another around the Mongolian cavalry.Although not many Mongolian cavalrymen were killed by shells on the spot, many horses were startled by the huge explosion, and they quickly messed up.

At this time, the Green Battalion soldiers have gradually ascended the top of the city.

The Qing army under Diao Shigui was originally the elite of the Han army with the yellow banner, and its combat power was still stronger than that of the Green Battalion under Tang Li. After training for some days in the Jiaxing Battalion, they mastered the coordinated operations of firearms and artillery.

It was still very easy to deal with these green battalion soldiers. The spearmen of the Ming army easily pierced the enemy's throat.

This is also the requirement of the Ming army for the soldiers defending the city. To stab the enemy's throat from the top side, pay attention to "fast, accurate, and ruthless", because a person's neck is the most difficult to move and avoid, and it is easy to avoid when stabbing the head. Even if the body is stabbed, it is easy to stab the armor and is not easy to pull out.

These green battalion soldiers have been cannon fodder for a day, and their morale has long been lost. If they have the strength to attack the city, they will not be able to climb the city wall at all.

Diao Shigui also understood that the Qing army wanted to use these green battalion soldiers to consume themselves, and the elite "white armored soldiers" and "red armored soldiers" full of Eight Banners would soon take the lead in attacking the city.

At this time, the Ming army fought successive battles and suffered heavy casualties. If they fought against the elite of the Eight Banners, everyone would probably confess here.

So he shouted: "Throw the fire oil tank down the city."

Soon, with the sound of a can being smashed, the city was engulfed in flames.

The raging fire, accompanied by the screams of the Qing army, was like a Shura hell.

But at this time, some Eight Banners soldiers who had not been burned by the fire had already started to board the city, and a "White Armored Soldier" who had just exposed his head was directly blown out of his head by the Lumi gun.The Ming army who finished shooting directly loaded the bayonet, ready to fight hand-to-hand with the Qing army.

But the Man Ba ​​Banners were not green camp soldiers after all. They were good at hand-to-hand combat, and they threw short spears and throwing axes towards the city before they showed their heads, causing many casualties to the Ming army.

Fortunately, the ladder was already on fire at this time, and there were not many Eight Banners soldiers on the top of the city.

The Ming army on the city still relied on its superiority in numbers to keep the mighty Eight Banners soldiers at the top of the city.

Unreconciled, Bashan was preparing to continue to invest in troops to fight again. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and then dozens of shells flew in, shaking the ground for a while, and directly blasted the Mongolian cavalry hiding outside the city with cold arrows. .

I don't know who shouted: "Ming army's naval guns are coming, withdraw quickly!"

The Qing army under the city rushed to run away!

Diao Shigui said with relief: "Aim at the Tartars and fire another round of firecrackers!"

In this battle of defending the city, the Ming army lost a lot. Nearly 400 people were killed. In addition to the 110 people who were shot and killed by the Mongolian cavalry in the early morning, more than half of the casualties are now, and they are no longer able to stick to Jinshanwei.

Anyway, it's noon now, and they have successfully completed the task of holding on.

So Diao Shigui shouted: "Take away the tiger squatting cannon, blow up the Flang cannon and the remaining shells, and burn the food. We can't leave it to the Qing army. We will withdraw from Jinshanwei."

After the Ming army retreated, it took an hour for the Qing army to attack Jinshanwei cautiously!
