Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 224 Developer

Openly rebelling before the battle and killing one of his own people, such a serious crime, the Qing army naturally would not allow it.

After the order from the chief general of the Qing army who supervised the battle, the archers who were in charge of supervising the battle immediately moved forward.

Seeing the archers approaching, these soldiers who had already rebelled knew that they had no way out. Even those soldiers who were still watching knew that they would not be spared. They were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Finally, someone thought of the trench bridge and the folding bridge. They threw down their weapons to erect the bridge, and then crossed the moat to surrender to the new army.

However, the new army will naturally not let them build the bridge.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The new army's attack, which had stopped, quickly started again. Bridges were blown to pieces, and the soldiers who pushed the bridges were killed.

But as long as you don't want to build a bridge, the new army will not attack it.

However, the archers were already approaching, and they could not cross the moat, and they were still dead.

A new round of killing began. Two thousand archers began to shoot arrows at a distance of dozens of steps. Groups of people screamed and fell under the rain of arrows. Some people snatched shields and other shelters. But it's just lingering.

Many soldiers jumped into the moat one after another when they had nowhere to go, trying to swim to the other side.

The new army and other defenders on the city wall just watched blankly, not even attacking the enemy archers, nor did they attack the enemy army who jumped into the moat to escape.

This is also what Huang Hairu meant. He wanted to show the other defenders how the Qing army treated these rebels.

Therefore, if you want to survive, you have to be firm with the new army, and you have to stick to Yangzhou City.

Especially the soldiers of Xu Yong's department were very fortunate, because they knew that if they surrendered to the Qing army, their fate would probably be the same as that of the soldiers below.

After several rounds of shooting, on the other side of the moat, there were already corpses with arrows stuck in their bodies, and some corpses even had more than a dozen arrows stuck in them.

There was no one standing on the other side of the moat. The archers who supervised the battle were about to retreat, but the Qing army obviously didn't want to stop here. They knew that someone should be pretending to be dead among the corpses, and even those who jumped into the moat to escape didn't want to let go. Pass.

So, they continued to order these archers to go forward.

This was a bit too much, the new army was treated as nothing, and under the order of the general defending the city, the artillery of the new army opened fire again.

"Boom boom boom..." shells and cannonballs fell into the crowd, some people were smashed into meat, and some were shot into a hornet's nest.

Some people who jumped into the moat to escape had already swam to the other side and climbed up. Seeing this scene, they were very relieved.

"Blow them up, kill these bastards, eat the inside out..."

"Well fried, well fried, well fried..."

This time, it was the turn of those archers to be deserters. Although the Qing army supervising the battle was very angry and unwilling, they did not attack these people again and let them flee back in embarrassment.

In this way, a siege organized by the Qing army ended in such a dramatic way. The new army consumed some ammunition, causing them to lose 6000 to [-] people, and even deepened the gap between the surrendered army and the Qing army.

Duoduo knew that he had to change his strategy. If he continued to force the attack like this, not only would it not have much effect, but it would really be possible to force those surrendered troops back.

Although he didn't think much of these people, it would be a headache if there were so many of them.

And the future sieges will still be dominated by these people. After all, siege warfare is inherently difficult, and the Eight Banners Army can't afford it.

Right now, the most threatening to the siege team is the new army's continuous fire muskets and shotguns.

The continuous firing musket has a long range and can threaten three hundred feet away.

The shotgun shells fired by the artillery have a wide range of damage, and they are also very threatening.

Doduo knew that his own side was inferior to the new army in terms of the number of artillery and combat power, so he could only take defensive measures.

In order to prevent the new army's continuous fire guns with very fierce penetrating power, the shield vehicles and chariots need to be thickened again, or covered with thick iron plates.

Only by giving the siege soldiers some sense of security and letting them see the hope of breaking through the city will they be willing to move forward.

Otherwise, blindly raising the butcher's knife to threaten will not solve the problem.

Naturally, it would take some time and energy to make these preparations, so the Qing army's siege plan slowed down, and Duoduo no longer wanted to quickly capture Yangzhou.

The Qing army's siege slowed down, but Huang Hairu did not relax his vigilance, and took this opportunity to continuously strengthen the defense of the city.

What made Huang Hai even more relieved was that the supplies from the rear had also arrived, and they were transported by water, especially the replenishment of ammunition, which made the soldiers of the new army very happy.

After all, those advanced firearms are one of the biggest reliance of the new army's combat power.

What Huang Hairu didn't know was that there were [-] reinforcements on the way, also by water.

Because the letter he sent to Fujian has reached the military department, after the staff department analyzed it.

I think that although Huang Hairu made some mistakes in command, he criticized him, but there are also bright spots. The fighting spirit and courage are commendable, and he played the momentum of the new army.

Therefore, this pertinent evaluation from the staff department was also taken by the chief general of the reinforcements and prepared to be handed over to Huang Hairu.

In view of the loss of most of the new army led by Huang Hairu, the military and staff unanimously decided to send another [-] new troops to support.

At this moment, Tang Ning, who was in Daguan, didn't know about these things yet, and he wasn't worried that something serious would happen in less than a month since he came to Dayuan.

After all, the new army's system has already been established, and it can operate normally without him.

Unless the ammunition for the German weapons was all exhausted, but before he left Fujian, he added a batch of ammunition to Song Yunshu's logistics department, which was enough for a period of time.

The reason why Tang Ning stayed in Dayuan was to make some plans for the construction of Dayuan, and at the same time to establish a good relationship with some groups of Dayuan.

Because besides the Han people here, there are many people of various ethnic groups. These people of various ethnic groups have been oppressed by the Dutch before, and some ethnic groups were even directly exterminated.

This time Tang Ning led the new army to defeat the ferocious Dutch. These ethnic groups were still very worried. They were afraid that the tiger would kill the wolf and would continue to oppress them.

They saw the miserable conditions of the Dutch who had oppressed them, driven like slaves to build cities and reclaim wasteland.

But Tang Ning told them with the policy that the new army only punished the brutal enemies, and Qiu did nothing to ordinary people.

The people of all ethnic groups are equal to the Han people, and their lives and properties are recognized and protected by the new army.

At first, they were still a little apprehensive and suspicious, but as some people took the lead in accepting the recruitment of the new army, they helped build cities and reclaim wasteland.

After receiving real wages, they gradually cleared up the barriers and gradually recognized the new army led by Tangning.

Some young adults even responded to the call and actively applied to join the new army.
