Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 333 Dumbfounded

The corners of his eyes swept over, and suddenly, the eyeballs widened.It happened that one of Kong Youde's cannons was hit by one of the three iron bullets.Not to mention that the artillery fell apart, the busy Tianyou soldiers around immediately suffered several casualties, and they were bloody and smashed.

Speaking of which, the artillery at this time is actually not very powerful. It is not bad to kill a few people with one cannon.However, the deterrent psychology caused by artillery is great.

Kong Youde is not surprised that there are cannons on the top of Lushun city. What makes him unbelievable is that the Ming army's artillery on the top of the city has never been tested. !This... How did this happen?
Knowing that the artillery of the Ming Army on Lushun City was very high-accurate, these fake tartars of the Tianyou Army were no longer so calm in setting up their formations and loading their ammunition.Even Daishan in the distance can tell that they are a little flustered.

The loading of artillery is a technical job, and improper operation may lead to serious consequences.Moreover, the reloading speed will also be affected by mentality.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city, the first artillery battle finally started with the roar of "boom boom boom".

As soon as the artillery battle started, Daishan's face darkened.

Because he discovered that the artillery from the Qing side hit the head of Lushun City, often causing less damage than imagined.As for the artillery of the Ming army at the head of the city, often after a dozen or so shots, the Qing artillery can be misfired.If it goes on like this, Kong Youde's artillery battalion will be finished in less than an hour.

So, he immediately sent an order to ask Kong Youde for questioning.

His forehead was covered with sweat, and Kong Youde, who arrived in a hurry, also explained a little puzzled: "My lord, the city wall of Lushun is a bit weird, it is not smooth (I can't say the word inclination), and the iron bullets don't have force, so the damage caused to the city wall is a bit strange. The damage is not as great as when we bombarded other cities before!"

Obviously, he didn't learn enough knowledge from the Frang machine. As far as he is currently, he still doesn't understand the power of engineering.Come to think of it, Kong Youde is just illiterate.

After finishing speaking, Kong Youde turned his head to look at his artillery battalion, then turned his head to Dai Shan and said: "My lord, we can't continue bombarding each other. Otherwise, all the artillery belongings of the Qing Dynasty will be thrown away. Here it is!"

In this artillery battalion, even Huang Taiji is a treasure.At this time, Daishan also had eyes to watch and knew that Kong Youde was right.The Ming army's artillery on top of the city was so accurate that it was impossible to hit it.It was impossible for him to assign all the artillery battalions here, so he nodded with a dark face and said: "Forget it, let the artillery retreat. The city wall is so short that we can capture Port Arthur without the artillery destroying the city wall!"

"My lord is wise!" Kong Youde heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and immediately left in a hurry, sending an order to retreat.

The horn of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" was sounded again, before all the artillerymen were withdrawn.The Jianlu infantry, including a mixed siege force of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han army, began their first siege.

Seeing the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, they hid behind the chariot and quickly approached the city wall.

This kind of chariot is actually similar to a very large shield that moves. Ordinary bows and firecrackers cannot penetrate the chariot at all, and can play a good role in covering the infantry behind the chariot.Therefore, the chariot has always been a very important war tool for the Qing Dynasty to deal with the firearms troops of the Ming army.

When the car arrives in the land of a stone's throw, it won't get up soon.Because the ground was deliberately destroyed by the Ming army, it has become potholed.The Manchu Qing soldiers behind the carts needed to pave the road before moving forward, or more people needed to carry or push the carts to move.

At this time, the artillery on the top of the city began to aim at the chariots one after another, and a new round of shelling began.

No matter how strong the chariot is, it cannot stop the bombardment of the artillery.

With the sound of "boom boom boom", Daishan in the distance saw one car after another being smashed by iron eggs, and the infantry hiding behind the car were also killed and injured.Seeing this, Daishan's face remained dark.

On the other hand, Hauge next to him didn't smile, but he wasn't as worried as Daishan.He even had the heart to comfort Dai Shan and said, "Just wait until the warriors of the Qing Dynasty rush to the city wall!"

At this time, the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were indeed brave.After the chariot lost its function, they didn't flee backwards, but scattered and rushed towards the city wall at the fastest speed.Archers and a small number of musketeers shot at the top of the city to cover the soldiers carrying ladders to attack the city.

Of course, the Ming army on top of the city immediately responded in kind, with some shooting arrows and some firing muskets.Suddenly, the sound of bowstrings, muskets, and gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield.

The battle, from the beginning, immediately became fierce.

"Bah bang bang!" The ladders were leaning against the city wall heavily. Some of the brave Manchu soldiers were holding shields in their hands and biting the back of the sword in their mouths as they climbed up quickly; some simply didn't even hold the shields and climbed up. Holding a spear or something, instead of holding the ladder, he stepped on the ladder and rushed upwards, while trying to stab down the defending Ming army soldiers on the top of the city.

There are also soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, carrying the ramming wood, rushing towards the only gate of the city.When a person is shot by an arrow, someone will immediately make up for it, and continue to rush towards the city gate with the ramming log.

At this time, the cannons that were not explosive shells showed the disadvantage of not having enough lethality. Just relying on the cannons, there was no way to stop the Manchu and Qing soldiers from quickly approaching the city wall.

Seeing that there are more and more ladders on the city wall of Lushun, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty are all climbing up heroically.Although the siege casualties were a bit heavy, they were still within the expected range. Daishan, who had been keeping a dark face, finally showed a smile.

"Uncle Wang, am I right?" Hauge said proudly after seeing him, "Even if there is no artillery, this little city of Lushun will definitely be able to win in one battle. Look, those places, I The warriors of the Qing Dynasty are about to attack the top of the city!"

Speaking of the latter, the meaning of joy is beyond words.

But at this moment, they suddenly saw puffs of gunpowder smoke rising from the protruding part of Lushun city wall.Immediately afterwards, those Manchu and Qing soldiers who were climbing up fell down the city in pieces, and even many ladders broke and fell down.

In just one move, none of the densely packed ladders originally erected on the city wall were still there.

Under the city wall, the Manchu and Qing soldiers who had rushed up just now were lying there.This scene not only wiped out the joy of Hauge and the others, but even those Manchu soldiers who had rushed under the city wall and were about to climb up the ladder were also dumbfounded.

At this time, Kong Youde just came to Daishan's side to wait for orders. After seeing this situation, based on his understanding of artillery, he was the first to react, and immediately shouted in surprise: "It's the Fran cannon, the protruding side It's the muzzle of the Fran's machine gun, my lord, it's beyond human power!"

He didn't guess wrong at all, it was indeed the Franc cannon.

The Ming army came across the sea. If they want to gain a firm foothold in Lushun, they must first defend a wave of Jianlu's offensive.This point was expected long before the Ming army set off first.Even Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng discussed and communicated about this issue.

At that time, I thought that Jianlu would not give Daming too long time to build Lushun City.According to the impression of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen gave Lu Xiangsheng a suggestion to build a bastion for defense.

According to natural evolution, the protruding part of the bastion that appeared at the beginning was actually round, and it was gradually changed to a concave polygon during the evolution of previous wars.Since Emperor Chongzhen came here through time travel, what he knew was of course not the original bastions, but mature bastions.

The defensive function of this kind of bastion is similar to that in Daming, and the Nanjing City Wall has a similar design.However, it has to be admitted that in medieval Europe, wars between countries were frequent.Each other is a small country with a small population to accommodate, so the emergence of the bastion and the improvement were born in Europe.

In fact, the emergence of the bastion was also due to changes in the war situation.

In ancient times, it was fighting with cold weapons at the beginning. Therefore, it is reasonable to build tall city walls.

However, gunpowder weapons and artillery gradually appeared later, making the city wall too tall, which actually lost its meaning.Instead, it needs to be thickened to defend against the bombardment of heavy artillery.In this way, higher requirements were put forward for the defense of the city wall, and the bastion appeared because of this.

For hundreds of years after the appearance of artillery, the bastion as a defensive side has always been the mainstream.In this case, it was not until the emergence of real explosive bullets that made the bastion vulnerable to the artillery that the defensive situation was changed again, that is, the bunker defense was built.The bastion will not be abandoned until this time.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen proposed to build a bastion with a smaller amount of work, Lu Xiangsheng was surprised at the time.It doesn't matter if the city wall can be built shorter, but after deduction, the defensive ability of this kind of castle is very strong.It was also because of this that Lu Xiangsheng admired Emperor Chongzhen quite a lot, and felt that many things that seemed very difficult to him became so simple in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

As far as he is the governor of Baoding, it is actually very difficult for him to rebuild Dongjiang Town on the basis of poverty.However, the things that seemed difficult to him were solved one by one by Emperor Chongzhen.

First, he needs a navy. This is not just a matter of having a boat, but one who is familiar with naval warfare.In a short period of time, neither ships nor soldiers can be accomplished overnight.As a result, Emperor Chongzhen transferred him the Fujian navy, all of whom were accustomed to naval battles, and solved the problem.

Second, he needs enough elite troops. After arriving in Denglai, he must train an elite army that can compete with Jianlu. It will definitely not take a year or a half to train.As a result, Emperor Chongzhen called him an old thief with more than 5000 years of experience.These long-standing thieves voluntarily participated in the war against the captives, and they had the initiative in their thinking to atone for their sins; moreover, their military skills had been honed during their years of rogue career.Therefore, after Lu Xiangsheng trained them for more than half a year, he was already able to bring Liaodong to fight against Jianlu with confidence.

Thirdly, how to gain a foothold in Lushun was also suggested by the Emperor Chongzhen, who even influenced the decision-making of Jianlu in Liaodong through the secret agents of Jinyiwei, making them wait for the navy to "cut off" the retreat of the Ming army. Give him more opportunities to build Lushun City.Even later he knew that the reason why he was able to snatch half of the already built Lushun City after he came to Lushun was also the result of the emperor's use of Jinyiwei spies to induce Liaodong to build captives.

……

All these things, even though Lu Xiangsheng had both civil and military skills, that still couldn't stop him from admiring Emperor Chongzhen from the bottom of his heart.

After the bastion was built, Lu Xiangsheng deployed the Hongyi cannon shipped by ship from a distance to the outside world. Within the range, the Jianlu would not have an advantage.And according to Emperor Chongzhen's suggestion, the shooting parameters were marked in advance, so that in actual combat, the artillery battle with Jianlu could be successfully won.

Then, the Fran cannon was arranged on the side, which is the kind of artillery with a mother and a pair of guns.The advantage of this kind of artillery is that it has a short range because of its airtightness, but fortunately, because this kind of artillery is loaded with ammunition in advance, it only needs to quickly replace the sub-guns, and the rate of fire is very fast.And the Fran cannon is loaded with countless gravels, and it is not too powerful to attack the enemies climbing the city wall at close range!

Daishan is also a veteran who is used to fighting. Looking at the situation, he knew that it would be impossible to capture Lushun this time.Being bombarded by the Ming army caused too many casualties, so they had to withdraw their troops with money.

"Dangdangdang..."

When the sound of gold ringing sounded over Lushun, all the Jian captives who were besieging the city breathed a sigh of relief. They dragged, hugged, and carried the corpses of their accomplices, and retreated like a tide.Under the city of Lushun, there were only stumped limbs, broken siege equipment, and blood spilled all over the ground.

"Da Ming Wan Sheng..."

The Ming army on the top of the city shouted after seeing this scene.The sound of the voice went straight to the sky.

The first battle with Jianlu ended with Ming's complete victory.It has to be said that this is a very good opportunity for the soldiers of the Ming army who fought against Jianlu for the first time, so that they no longer have the mentality of being afraid of Jianlu, and can display their due strength.

Listening to the tsunami-like victory cries of the Ming army soldiers, Jianlu's side was no longer arrogant, and all of them had gloomy faces, looking at the cheering figure on the top of the city without speaking.

Daishan urgently held a military meeting to discuss how to attack Lushun City.

It cost more than 500 people to let Jianlu understand the power of the fortress-style defense system of Lushun City.How to attack, but they were at a loss.Seeing that his own side's morale was low, even though Daishan was old enough, he was also anxious.By this time, he had understood that conquering Lushun was definitely not as easy as imagined!

But at this moment, countless warships appeared on the sea surface of Lushun Bay, flying the flags of Manchu and North Korea. It was Shang Kexi who led the mixed Manchu and Qing navy to arrive.

Seeing Daishan, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The Tartars also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it.
