Cutting 1719

Chapter 143
With the roar of artillery fire, dozens of iron bullets were fired from the artillery. Although they could not see clearly at night, after all, there were dozens of iron bullets, but they also hit three carts, directly blasting them into pieces. The fragments, and the civilian husband afterward were also killed and injured.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the civilian husbands pushing the carts no longer cared about running backwards, but were directly intercepted by Qing soldiers in the middle of the way, and killed them randomly with knives. Go back and continue pushing the cart.

At that moment, Mr. Qian from the green battalion shouted: "If you want to survive, you should charge forward. As long as you can fill up this ditch, you will be safe. If you dare to escape again, be careful that the knife in my hand will not recognize you."

"This cannon hits so far"

Gao Qiwei, who was watching from a distance below the city, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He has fought for most of his life, and he knows the situation of the artillery in the green battalion quite well. A hundred steps, but the power of the artillery of the Fuhan army on the opposite side can hit a mile, no wonder it has been defeated repeatedly before.

Looking at those small carts that were smashed into pieces, Gao Qiwei didn't take it seriously. Naturally, there were casualties in this war, and these losses are also very normal. When he was fighting Galdan in the northwest, he also experienced cannons. The taste of the bombardment was no less powerful than that of today's Fuhan army. At that time, he understood the cruelty of the battle formation.

As time went by, the carts got closer and closer to the city wall. At this time, the artillery hit rate was naturally greatly improved. Seventy or eighty carts were destroyed one after another, and there were more than 20 carts remaining. However, a small cart approached the ditch and overturned all the sandbags on the cart into the ditch.

It's just that Ning Yu had ordered earlier to dig the ditch wide and deep, so it wouldn't help anything. The Green Battalion Chief Qian who was escorting the team behind saw that it would fail, but the military order was like a mountain. If they couldn't cross the ditch today, they I had to take my life to fill it, and I didn't care about it at the moment, forcing the peasants to rush to the trench, hoping that they would fill it up.

But this was clearly a way to die, so the peasants were naturally unwilling, and many of them ran backwards, but the Qing army was blocking the back, but it was difficult to rush through, most of them were still pushed and pushed towards the trench, and for a while The scene was extremely tragic.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yu gritted his teeth. Since the incident, he had never seen such a vicious general from the green battalion. Seeing that the ditch was about to be filled with the corpses of the peasants, he had to order the artillery to concentrate on the back of the ditch. At the same time, the gunfire was fired, but it did not distinguish between soldiers and civilians, and smashed them all together.

Cannon smoke rose from the city wall, and the iron bullets were smashed into the crowd of the Qing army, creating a dozen blood paths in the crowd. Because the crowd of the Qing army was too close, the result of this battle was worse than all the previous ones combined. Many small carts that were too late to be moved were smashed to pieces, many pieces of wood were flying around in the crowd, and there was a burst of crying and shouting.

At the moment, the soldiers of the green battalion didn't care too much, and ran back together with the civilian husbands. The crowd suddenly left a blank in front of the formation, except for the remaining corpses on the ground, there was nothing else. As for gagging.

The green battalion garrison at the back and Mr. Qian and others saw their own soldiers fleeing backwards like this, and they were angry and annoyed. The military gate was still watching from behind. If they just retreated like this, their heads , will be chopped off and hung on the flagpole at the first time to alert the whole army.

Under the pressure of this death, there are still Qian Zong and others in the defense. They brought the supervising team and personal guards and swung their knives to kill the defeated soldiers. The few remaining civilians also died under the knives, but their life and death But like a mustard, it is not taken seriously by others.Not even a single sigh, all the green battalion officers in the rear only sighed, why didn't they die in the ditch?

Of course, the Qing army also had cannons, but the Qing army's cannons had a short range, so they needed to be deployed forward. However, the Fuhan army's cannons on the city wall not only had a long range and great power, but also had a fast rate of fire. As soon as the artillery was set up, a new round of shelling ushered in.

boom--

A burst of bullets flew directly to the artillery positions of the Qing army, and directly smashed a large general cannon, but this time it smashed all the nearby artillery soldiers to the ground, and a shower of blood sprinkled in the air. And the cannon body hit the ground, and jumped out for a long distance.

The gunners of the Qing army ignored the fear in their hearts, and were forced to fire by the supervisory team behind them. However, under the panic and trembling of their hands, many people misplaced the amount of gunpowder. It exploded on the spot, directly killing many gunners around, but at least a few cannons were fired, and a few iron bullets flew up to the top of the city, smashing a few potholes on the wall, It's just that it didn't cause any casualties to the Fuhan army.

Gao Qiwei's face was a little livid, and he could tell at a glance that it would be useless if he relied on his own artillery. He had to rush to the top of the city and open a passage by hand-to-hand combat, and he still had a chance to take the city.No matter how incompetent my own Luying Erlang is, if it is a hand-to-hand fight, he can always exchange three lives for one life of the Han army.

As far as Gao Qiwei is concerned, if he can take down Chu Ni on the opposite side, it doesn't matter if all the [-] green camps are dead. The green battalion launched a strong attack.

More than [-] Qing soldiers were divided into different waves, carrying the ladder and dragging the siege hammer, and then launched an attack on the city wall of the Fuhan army. When they encountered a trench, they ignored it and sent the corpses of their colleagues who died on the battlefield down. As soon as it was pushed, many people were knocked down by the volley of guns on the wall, and they were also pushed in.

Under this kind of dismissal, the Qing army finally filled the trench with human life. As for the barbed wire that lay across the trench, the Qing army came prepared. They did not know where they got some very sharp axes. With the hacking of the axe, a big hole was gradually split in the barbed wire.

Of course, in such a process, the Fuhan army on the top of the wall also fired guns and guns. Due to the narrow terrain under the city, there was almost no need to aim. The soldiers of the Qing army fell in groups. , but six or seven hundred lives were lost in such a short while.

"It seems that Gao Qiwei still did some homework. He is worthy of being a veteran who played San Francisco and Galdan back then. This adaptability is not like that of an old man in his 70s. People really get better with age. ah!"

Ning Yu said with some emotion, not only that, but the Qing army under the city also had rules when launching an attack. The personnel should be spread out as much as possible to reduce casualties. There is really no better way than being in front of the barbed wire, otherwise the more than 3000 Qing troops I'm afraid there will still be two thousand five-six left, which is far more difficult than the previous green camp.

Dong Ce chuckled, "Grand Governor, even if this old man is as cunning as a ghost, as long as he doesn't believe in this evil, he will only die in vain if he comes to attack my city."
