Lord of Ming Dynasty

But the three 12-pound cannons of the Huaxia Army were different. The cracks within a radius of three to five meters of the city wall were like spider webs. The vibration caused two or three Qing soldiers to fall down, and two or three were killed The splashed fragments of bricks scratched the walls, causing twenty or thirty Qing soldiers to run around in fright. The Qing soldiers tried their best to calm down the frightened birds. Then their legs trembled, and they lowered their heads. wait and see.

The three shells gathered for 50 meters, and the smashed city wall shook. The soldiers of the Qing army were terrified. In the first confrontation, neither side took advantage, and the radius was eight taels.

Next, it highlights the quality of the artillery of the Huaxia Army.

The Huaxia Army artillery who corrected the target's position and coordinates directly hit the red cannon near the gate tower within a dozen meters. One shell smashed a piece of the cornice of the gate tower, and another shell flew into After leaving Raozhou Fucheng, he smashed the road in Fucheng into a small pit one meter deep and the size of a bowl.

A group of green battalion soldiers who were patrolling here were so scared that they almost bombed the camp and ran more than 50 meters away.

The Huaxia army at the other three city gates also failed to achieve results, but the counterattack had already begun.

The generals of both sides hid in a safe place and watched the battle.

While the Qing army was still cleaning the barrels, the Huaxia Army's artillery fired for the second time.

This time the landing point was closer. Three artillery shells stared at one of the enemy's artillery and fired fiercely. All three shells landed near the city gate tower, which was also a place more than ten meters away from the red cannon in the middle, smashing the crenel. Rubble flew across the city, and the Qing army hid in the city gatehouse one after another.

But the artillerymen couldn't escape, so they could only keep busy.

A Dai said to the nearest artilleryman: "Shoot the enemy's cannon, shoot the enemy's cannon, blow him up for me, and silence one of the enemy's cannons. The leader of the team will be promoted to three ranks, and the rest will be promoted to one rank. Two denarii."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The artillerymen of the Qing army were excited, and the speed of their subordinates was also fast. While the Huaxia army was still cleaning the barrel, the third artillery of the Qing army opened fire.

The shells flew over three miles, over the trenches, and over the Chinese army digging the trenches, militiamen, and soldiers who were looking up. They hit a distance of four miles, and the horses ran away in shock.

The artillery of the Huaxia Army opened fire again. This time, three shells hit the crenels of the city wall less than eight meters away from the artillery of the Qing Army, smashing the three crenels to pieces. The army soldiers smashed down the city wall, let out a scream, and then fell silent.

The artillery soldiers of the Han Army Banner of the Qing Army looked at each other with fear and fear in their eyes.

They knew that the enemy's artillery was getting more and more accurate, and it might hit the dozen of them directly in the next moment.

The movements of their hands slowed down, and at the same time they looked around with their eyes, preparing to dodge.

Their movements and eyes were seen by A Dai who was watching them from a distance inside the gate tower.

Chapter 296 Siege - Artillery Battle 2

As the artillery battle progressed, the artillery shells from both sides came and went, and the fighting was exhilarating. Feng Wuyu had to retreat the soldiers of the Second Field Brigade who were standing in front to warn the enemy to go out of the city to harass and build the siege fortifications. Five miles away from Fucheng, only cavalry were left guarding around.

The civilian husbands, militiamen, engineering soldiers, and heavy soldiers still stayed three miles away to dig trenches and arrange fortifications.

The casualties of the Huaxia Army are on the rise, but within controllable, they are mainly the casualties of the Huaxia Army who built the fortifications. The artillery battle lasted all morning, and there were nearly a hundred casualties, but the fortifications have been built in sevens and eighties. The three-mile radius in front of the gate was surrounded, and the fortifications on all sides were approaching at the speed of minutes.

On the other hand, the Qing army has already lost half of the cannons, and the remaining cannons were fired every ten minutes. The entire city wall crenel near the city gate was blown up like a dog gnawing on it. , mixed with the corpses of some Qing soldiers, most of the city gate tower was beaten and collapsed, and the casualties must have been not small.

The shadow of the Qing army's activities can no longer be seen on the city wall.

After the pressure subsided, Zhang Qiang came over to make an inspection, and then pulled the [-]-pound gun over to bombard the enemy. The [-]-pound gun was placed near the Tunpu five miles away, protected by Tunpu soldiers, with two gates for each city. The eight [-]-pound guns made the Qing army suffer and be happy.

Later, after replacing the overused [-]-pound guns, five [-]-pounder guns were added to each city gate, and the city walls and gate towers of the Qing army's Raozhou Prefecture, as well as the houses behind the city walls, also collapsed. Moldy, just the shells, the solid iron bumps, the Qing army collected several thousand catties, and of course there were corpses and wreckage of private houses.

The Qing army is no longer interested in going out of the city to harass the Huaxia army.

Zhang Qiang simply transferred the engineers and supplies from the First Field Brigade, the [-] militiamen left behind by Du Ge, and even the prisoners from the Green Camp of the Qing Army who were left behind and could not be transported away.

When the sun tilted slightly in the afternoon, the trenches were successfully closed. Feng Wuyu, who was in charge of supervising the battle, had a whimsy and pushed these people directly to a place 600 meters away from the city wall to start digging a horse trap. Even if the Qing army knew what they were doing, they couldn’t send them When troops came, the gates of the city were blocked with sandbags and boulders. This was because Azig was afraid that the Huaxia army would bombard the gates with cannons, so he led the cavalry directly into the city, wiped them all out, and directly captured the capital of Raozhou.

The Qing army in Raozhou Prefecture was beaten so badly. Zhang Qiang was happy besides being happy. There were two Manchu Prince Baylor trapped inside. They were the disciples and grandchildren of the old slave Nurhachi. If the Heluo Society is seized, the foundation of the Manchu Qing in Daming will be shaken.

That Dorgon or something is probably about to die. By then, the Manchus still don't know what the chaos will be like.

Over the past six years, Zhang Qiang has accumulated strength in a down-to-earth manner, and with the help of the system, he has come to today step by step.

Successively engaged in the Lu Jian Guoming Army, Longwu Ming Army, attacked Zheng Zhilong's forces, stepped on their flesh and blood and sad superiors, and finally changed from a little person who had nothing to worry about dying in this troubled world all day long, to a stomping, The big man who will shake the world in the southeast has become a hero, the governor.

Maybe in the future he can aspire to the throne.

"Governor, General Hu Kui sent someone to report that the Rao Prefecture has basically fallen into our control, and the counties and towns have surrendered, but his troops are not enough to garrison everywhere. How should we deal with it?" Baggaru, the captain of the personal guard, asked.

"There is no need to garrison everywhere. Let him focus his energy on the direction of Fujian and Ganzhou. He will station heavy troops in several key counties and important intersections and passes. Give up some places that cannot be defended. Send very few scouts and cavalry to patrol. , found the enemy's large troops to report in time," Zhang Qiang said to Bagyalud, "Go and send someone to contact the nearest military intelligence office, and ask them about the Guangxin Mansion and Tingzhou Mansion. Bring them to you." Me, before going to sleep tonight, I want to see the intelligence."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiang thought for a while. His strength was not enough to defend the three directions. Xiao Fei led the third field brigade in Jinhua Mansion. Otherwise, the 17th Field Brigade and the 16th Field Brigade can be used as reinforcements, as well as the [-]nd Brigade of the Guards Brigade in Xianju County. In this direction, there are still few troops.

Many of Du Ge's militia troops have been pulled back, and the rest are scattered in various counties, and near Raozhou Prefecture. It will take two or three days for Du Ge to bring over tens of thousands of militia and supplementary soldiers, and it may take another four or five days. Time, if the Qing army had already received the news at this time, and Xingye came to rescue these two important figures of the Qing army, his own strength would be a bit stretched.

The only troops that can be used recently are Liu Liangzuo's 7th Field Brigade of Quzhou Prefecture and Ma Sanli's 6th Field Brigade.

Still not enough.

By the way, where does He Jin still have three field brigades, he should transfer one over, the 9th field brigade.

Thinking of this, he said to Bagyalu: "Send a messenger out and make an urgent 6 miles to transfer Ma Sanli's 7th Field Brigade to defend Quzhou Prefecture, transfer Liu Liangzuo's 9th Field Brigade to Raozhou Prefecture, and transfer He Jin The [-]th Field Brigade came to Raozhou to join us."

"Yes, Chief Governor." Bagyaru was about to leave after listening.

"Wait, let Milin contact Tian Bin, and see what happened to Hong Chengchou from Jinling. The Qing army from Jinling has retreated. I think Hong Chengchou must have got the news at this time. It is an old fox. He has to guard against it. Information from Jinling was also sent along."

"Yes, Chief Governor." After Baggyalu left.

Looking at the capital city of Raozhou in the distance, Zhang Qiang deduced the battle with the Qing army in his mind.

Feng Wuyu ran over, "Governor, it's boring to fight around like this, why don't you call in more [-]-pound cannons and give him a hard shot, look, we've already advanced to the enemy's wall It's far away, if we don't give them a hard time, if they have any ideas, then we will lose more than we gain, and feel aggrieved."

"No, there is one more thing. The Guards Brigade is here to watch. It doesn't matter. You take the main force of the Second Field Brigade to the north to defend the northern line of defense. At the same time, pay attention to the direction of Nanchang and the movement of the Qing army on the opposite side of the Yangtze River. Don't let them They crossed the river to attack us, now the Raozhou Prefecture is surrounded by enemy troops on three sides, the Ming army of Longwu was severely suppressed, although they have our support, but they have third-rate soldiers, but they use fifth-rate or sixth-rate generals to command the battle, There are also some civil servants who like to tear down their own steps, so we have to be careful not to win the first half and lose the second half."

Zhang Qiang said to Feng Wuyu very solemnly.

"Okay, I'll go now."

In the distance, the artillery battle is still going on. The enemy's cannons on the top of the city are probably wiped out. The cannons in other directions are still firing. There is no way to compete with the Huaxia Army's cannons. If the Huaxia Army wants to, It only needs to add a few more cannons, and the enemy can only open the city and surrender. Of course, this is impossible. Those barbarians around China are some dead-headed goods, and they will definitely not be like civilized China. Forget about surrendering. The big deal is to let him in. It will take hundreds of years to submerge him with his own population and culture.

Let them also become civilized and weak.

In fact, Zhang Qiang feels that the Chinese nation is particularly sad, but it has to hold on to its backwardness. It is like the black people in Africa and drowns the enemy with its population. It is called cultural assimilation and national integration in the euphemistic name.

Sad, sad.

Chapter 297 A Weird Twist: Hong Chengchou

Hong Chengchou’s history cannot give him a final conclusion and evaluation. In the eyes of most people, he is a traitor. In fact, the results of what he did are for the Ming Dynasty, for the Nanming, and even for the entire Chinese Han nationality. It is indeed a traitor.

Like most of the traitors who were single-mindedly loyal to the Manchu and Qing, as well as the traitors who were not very willing to be loyal to the Manchu, and the traitors who were loyal to the Manchu at both ends of the snake, the result was that the foreign race ruled the Han people again. .

In history, together with Fan Wencheng and Feng Quan, he gave the Manchu Dynasty the strategy of ruling the Han people, and Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, and Shang Kexi became the pioneers of their implementation of the strategy, which is the positive and negative sides of the strategy. On the other hand, the three lackeys, while fantasizing about their own prosperity and wealth, at the same time did their best to help the Manchus strangle the Han rebels and change the dynasty.
