Lord of Ming Dynasty

After getting Tingzhou Mansion, Zhang Qiang sent the cavalry brigade to Bagyalu to protect Longwu and the officials of Longwu Nanming to evacuate to Jianning Mansion, while Hu Kui led a field brigade to build fortifications in Tingzhou Mansion, preparing to welcome Dodo's army.

A few days later, Duduo's army arrived, followed by Geng Jingzhong's [-] Han Banner troops and [-] newly attached Ming Army Green Battalion troops.

In this way, Duoduo had an army of 20, and immediately surrounded the Tingzhou government.

Hu Kui is an attacking talent, so his fortifications are not as strong as Liu Liangzuo was warned by Zhang Qiang. He only dug a trench 500 meters outside the city, and deployed some troops to guard him, so that all the first field brigade was retracted. out of town.

This is also related to the fact that Hu Kui did not have many soldiers and horses.

Including the Ming army and young men who are willing to guard Tingzhou, he only has 1000 people.

There are only some symbolic troops deployed outside the city, and the cavalry and cold weapon troops inside the city are only deployed as mobile troops.

But he didn't know that he was facing Geng Jingzhong, who was good at attacking cities.

At this time, Geng Jingzhong looked at the Tingzhou Mansion and said to Duo Duo: "Master Belle, I will take Tingzhou Mansion for you. It can be done in one day, at most three days."

"Well, take Tingzhou Mansion as soon as possible, and then we have to find the main force of the Huaxia Army. Only by defeating their main force and capturing the leader of the rebels, Zhang Qiang, can we fundamentally disintegrate the enemy." Duoduo said.

Duoduo was not very interested. The reason why he listened to Hong Chengchou's order this time was that although Hong Chengchou was already the Crown Prince Taibao, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor, with his noble status as Prince, Baylor, etc., he listened to such a Han Dynasty. He has never given the order of the minister. The reason for this is that Zhang Qiang killed Azige. He and Dorgon, Azige are brothers born to one mother. This made him disregard his status and the war in Guangxi. , personally led the army to encircle and suppress Zhang Qiang.

Geng Jingzhong knew what was on his mind, so he didn't say much, "Yes, Lord Belle, this slave will let the boys attack."

Duoduo nodded, held the rein in his hand, and looked at the capital city of Tingzhou in the distance with expressionless eyes.

Geng Jingzhong hastily mobilized his troops.

Half an hour later, the cannon was pushed to a place two miles away from the capital city of Raozhou, and then 1 Ming troops lined up behind, and behind them were more than [-] Han army banners supervising the formation.

"Dong dong dong" the sound of war drums beating in the sky.

The Green Battalion reorganized by the Ming army, driven by the interspersed Han army flag cavalry, took weapons and rushed towards the capital city of Tingzhou tremblingly.

On the tower of Fucheng City, Hu Kui is also dispatching troops.

The cannon was pushed onto the city wall, and the small cannon quickly entered the trench fortifications with the musketeers leaving the city.

"Kill—" Before the Huaxia army had crossed the bridge over the moat, the Qing army's Green Battalion began to attack.

The 500-meter journey took less than 3 minutes to reach the 100-meter trench. At this time, they encountered various obstacles, and they hacked those obstacles with knives, guns and axes to clear them.

There were screams again and again. It was not the Huaxia Army in the trench that caused them harm, but the damage caused to them by the mechanism next to the obstacle.

In many places, there are not only horse pits, but also pits where there are sharpened bamboos under the pits, and some pits are only pits that can be stepped into by one foot. Many green camp Ming soldiers were tortured by these pits. Called screaming.

But they didn't dare to stop, and continued to move forward, clearing a distance of 20 meters, and lost hundreds of people. At this time, the archers in the trench began to shoot arrows, and the musket battalion had already passed the moat, and they entered the trench one after another, shooting.

Casualties began to mount.

In less than half an hour, the Green Camp of the Qing army had suffered nearly 2000 casualties.

Following Geng Jingzhong's call for gold to retreat, the green battalion of the Qing army retreated like a tide, leaving only the bodies of thousands of people, and the screams of thousands of wounded.

Seeing the heavy casualties for the first time, Geng Jingzhong frowned, and within a quarter of an hour, he said to the orderly beside him: "Attack the enemy with cannons."

"Boom--"

The sound of the cannon sounded, the smoke was dense, and the projectiles flew across the sky. Except for the artillery, all the Huaxia Army hid in the bunkers of the position to avoid the shelling.

The shells fired for half an hour, and many parts of the trench were destroyed, but there were not many casualties. The artillery had already entered the artillery positions and was counterattacking the enemy artillery. They were field artillery on horse-drawn carts. The Green Battalion of the Qing Army who attacked the second time, they still caused a lot of damage.

Thirty three-pound guns, eighteen six-pound guns, and six nine-pound guns went into battle. Facing the attack of the Qing army, coupled with the counterattack of the musketeer battalion and the attack of the archers in the trench, the green battalion of the Qing army was defeated again. Come.

The casualties doubled this time, more than 4000 people, and many soldiers from the Green Battalion were scared out of their wits.

Duoduo came on horseback and yelled at Geng Jingzhong, "Don't try again, attack with all your strength, attack from all sides, they have few troops and can't compete with us."

Geng Jingzhong said: "Cha."

Then he said to the messengers around him: "Attack on all sides, twelve cannons on each side, four thousand green battalions, two thousand Han army flag gunners, and cavalry ready to attack the enemy's artillery when the opportunity arises."

"Yes." The messenger rushed around.

When Hu Kui saw the enemy's mobilization of troops, he was a little anxious, but he couldn't adjust, he would only know after fighting.

Therefore, except for the side that faces the enemy head-on, which is more tenacious, the other three sides suffered heavy losses.

One of his field brigades has only more than 1000 firearms troops, and the others are all cold weapon troops.

The battle lasted for two hours, and he had to withdraw the troops from the other three sides back to the city, because he had to leave the troops behind for cover, and the cover troops were completely annihilated. The only good thing was that the moat was not rushed by the enemy, and the drawbridge had already been pulled up.

This time, nearly 4000 people were killed or injured, the archers were almost all killed, the young and strong engineers, and the supply troops also suffered a lot of casualties. The artillery damaged [-] cannons, and only [-] cannons were pulled into the city. Several cannons were destroyed by the enemy. seized.

The Musketeers suffered more than 300 casualties.

The defense line outside the city was completely lost.

But the enemy didn't get any benefits either. The green battalion of the Qing army was disabled, and less than 1000 of the [-] green battalion of the Qing army were left intact. The rest were either dead or injured, and had lost their combat effectiveness.

The Han Army Banner suffered 4000 casualties, the Han Army Banner cavalry suffered 1000 casualties, and even the Manchu cavalry in Doduo also suffered hundreds of casualties.

This time, Geng Jingzhong's face was very ugly.

Although the victory was achieved, more than 2 people were lost, and the battle is not over yet, the enemy still has fighting power, and there is still a city to defend.

Seeing Duduo's eyes, Geng Jingzhong almost devoured him.

"Attack again, we must take Tingzhou's capital tonight." Duoduo gritted his teeth.

"Here, Lord Baylor, the slaves have suffered heavy losses, can we attack again tomorrow?" Geng Jingzhong looked up at Duoduo expectantly.

"I don't have time to dawdle for you. I still need to find Zhang Qiang, the leader of the Huaxia Army. If I don't take this place for a day, my army will not be able to go deep into Fujian to attack the enemy. If you delay this king's important affairs, you can go and lead him to death." "

Chapter 3 Seventeen

Hu Kui's heart was on fire, but there was nothing he could do.

He had no way to contact Zhang Qiang, and Raozhou was besieged from all sides. At first, only Geng Jingzhong was besieging on all sides. Later, Duoduo also deployed his army, and surrounded Tingzhou's prefecture on all sides.

In the evening, Geng Jingzhong's Han Army Banner began a full-scale attack, besieging the capital city of Tingzhou where he was located from all sides.

There are even Han army flags of the Qing army, soldiers from the Green Battalion participating in the attack, and Manchurian bannermen. Their bows and arrows are like deadly snake cores, and their arrows kill people. Those who can lie on the city wall, and those who are not good can be carried downside down.

It took the enemy only two hours to cross the moat.

Duoduo was fully prepared this time, all kinds of siege equipment were brought in the army, and there was no need to build them temporarily. This was thanks to the Ming army, because he had Geng Jingzhong, a traitor who was good at siege in the Ming army.
