Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 129 Human Flesh City Wall
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "abducted" a group of chieftains and their cronies, captured Nanning Mansion without stopping, and the army drove to Si'en Mansion, where Bai Mingxiu finally encountered decent resistance.

In order to support the military affairs of the two vassals, Jin Guangzu, the chief secretary of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, rushed to Sien Mansion from Guilin, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by Bai Mingxiu.There are still more than 1 soldiers and horses in the two vassals of Si'en Mansion, plus the local soldiers and horses in Guangxi, and some conscripted soldiers, totaling about [-] people.It is led by general Xu Erxian who has followed Shang Kexi for many years.This Xu Erxian was the defender who resisted Li Dingguo's siege in Zhaoqing back then, and he was regarded as a quite capable general under Shang Kexi.

The city of Si'en Mansion can be regarded as a built city in the whole of Guangxi. Before the chieftain of Si'en, Cen, participated in the rebellion, the chieftain was cancelled, and a larger city began to be built.

When Bai Mingxiu's army arrived, he was stationed outside Si'en Mansion, and there were a group of pitiful chieftains in his team.Don't look at the bravery of these chieftains, but it is not enough to let them march with the army. Many people are pale, and they are even exhausted after riding for too long.

Bai Mingxiu's expedition to the west is basically system mercenaries with considerable strength.It's just that he led the Second Cavalry Division to rampage on the plain and was invincible, while the large number of supplies and artillery from the 104th Regiment came slower.Therefore, Bai Mingxiu's cavalry arrived first, and they did not rush to attack the city, but only grasped the surrounding situation.

Tianzhou Tuzhou belongs to the Sien Mansion, and this is the last obstacle for Li Dingguo, the master of Bai Mingxiu.And Xu Erxian is also different from those guards in other places in Guangxi, lacking the will to fight. This traitor who followed Shang Kexi touqing all the way and worked for the Manchu Tartars for decades will definitely do his best to stop Bai Mingxiu in Si En Mansion .

Looking at the city wall that was more than two feet high, Bai Mingxiu couldn't help but miss Sister Shi.

"With Sister Lion's main cannon, the city will be destroyed." Now Bai Mingxiu's cavalry can only stare outside the city, but Bai Mingxiu also quickly dispatched a light cavalry to cross the front of Si'en Mansion. Go to Tianzhou and report to Li Dingguo that his army has arrived at Si'en Mansion.

The battalion commander of the Red Police Battalion, You Long, was holding a telescope to observe the situation in the city. He then handed the telescope to Bai Mingxiu and said, "Your Highness, take a look."

Bai Mingxiu took it, glanced at the situation in the city, and was very angry immediately.

"Xu Erxian is an old traitor, damn it!"

On the city wall, men, women, old and children were driven up. Although they were crying loudly, they were also threatened to assist in the defense of the city, carrying arrows and gunpowder.The Qing army was hiding behind the battlements. Apparently they had heard that the Ming army's fire cannons were powerful and could hit with one shot at an extremely long distance.

"For the people to go to the city, Xu Erxian wanted to prevent our army from bombarding the city with artillery. This Xu Erxian came prepared. He has a good grasp of the situation of the war in Guangdong, and even the fighting power of the Jin Dynasty. Clearly. Our Great Ming Fuguo Army has taken on a new look, with sharp guns and cannons, and we should not underestimate the enemy, that's why we used such indiscreet methods." Ma Zouri still spoke coldly, but her tone seemed colder than before, Another layer of frost.

After the Great Ming Restoration Army entered Guangdong to fight, Bai Mingxiu rarely encountered any troops that directly fought against him.There are several very important reasons for this. The first is that the National Restoration Army has a very high degree of organization. They often rush to the battlefield and start attacking. The enemy has not reacted and can only retreat into the city; The Second Cavalry Division is a unit with explosive mobility; the third and possibly the most important reason is that the Qing army is actually not wary of Nanming at this time. They have already been demobilized, there are not many defensive forces, and there is even a lack of field troops, so Bai Mingxiu fights and fights more siege battles.

The encounters that took place in the wild were basically small-scale, because the Ming army had strong firepower, so the Qing army basically collapsed at the first touch.

And Bai Mingxiu has already developed a routine for siege warfare. To deal with the city walls with average construction level, Bai Mingxiu always brings out his own artillery battalion. Generally, an artillery battalion has 18 105mm rifled guns, using different types of ammunition. Some time ago, even if the city wall was not completely penetrated, it was still possible to intimidate a collapse.The infantry rushed up along with them, using machine guns and other firepower to suppress the enemy forces at the top of the city. Finally, the charging infantry was allowed to attack the city on slopes or carrying ladders.This tactic has been proven many times and is very effective. The Ming army's own casualty rate is also very low, unlike a siege war.

But when large-scale bombardment may cause serious civilian casualties, Bai Mingxiu has to re-examine this option.

In Si'en Mansion City, the veteran general Xu Erxian was actually very worried.

"It is rumored that this Prince Ming loves the people very much. Although he is not soft on the Tartars, he does not like to hurt the people and loves his feathers very much. At this time, the first time he made a bad move, he also wanted to delay him for a while. Now the two princes are also in Tianzhou Besieged by Li Dingguo, but the imperial army has more than 20 troops, as long as we can persist, once the imperial army arrives, Zhu Cixuan and Li Dingguo will naturally be able to calm down." Xu Erxian said with self-comfort.

In fact, he was pushed to a dead end. During the war of entering the customs, these traitors basically did all kinds of bad things, and they slaughtered their compatriots without mercy.At the beginning, Xu Erxian also followed Shang Kexi to launch the Gengyin Tribulation in Guangzhou City, which caused more than [-] lives to be destroyed, and many people were killed or injured.

Bai Mingxiu paid homage to Geng Yin's catastrophe in Guangzhou, and even killed Shang Kexi's family. As long as their relatives and subordinates stayed in Guangdong, they were all killed by Bai Mingxiu at this time.Xu Erxian didn't have to think about whether there was a way to surrender, because the prince of the Ming Dynasty took these traitors and wanted to tear their bones apart, cook their flesh and blood, and end in a terrible end.

That is to say, under such mental pressure, Xu Erxian did everything he could to coerce ordinary people as human shields to avoid the sharp shelling of the Ming army.

But Xu Erxian didn't know whether Bai Mingxiu would care about this, after all, judging from various signs, this prince of Ming Dynasty was also a ruthless person.

"Send a letter to Zhu Cixuan, telling him to stay honest and not to think about the Si'en Mansion. If he dares to attack the city, I, Xu Erxian, am not afraid to slaughter all the people in this city. Even if he gets the Si'en Mansion, If I kill Lao Tzu, I will only leave him a bloody ghost city!" Xu Erxian's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt cruel.

Everyone in the city was worried, and many people could feel that the Qing army was full of malice towards them.
