Nanming Yiming

Chapter 121
The Qing army was demoralized by the heavy artillery of the Ming army. Fortunately, as the sun went down, the artillery of the Ming army finally stopped.

Zhang Tianfu, who was originally very confident in defending the city, now wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost!
Unexpectedly, the artillery of the Ming army was so sharp. If they continued to fight like this, the city walls of Shexian County would definitely be blown down by them.

At this moment Jia Zhongxiao spoke up, and he said: "The artillery of the Ming thieves is too fierce. Now our army's morale is low. It is impossible to fight like this. The general is willing to lead his troops out of the city to raid the artillery positions of the Ming army."

Looking at Jia Zhongxiao's resolute eyes, Zhang Tianfu still felt a little relieved.

He waved his hand and said: "The revenge of killing a brother is not shared. I also feel the same feeling as General Jia Can feel at this moment. My brother also died tragically at the hands of the Ming army. It's just that Qian Mo has always been good at sneak attacking others. How could his artillery position not be good?" Fortify, and venture out of the city is absolutely impossible!"

At this moment, Jia Zhongxiao knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "my brother was brutally tortured by the money thief. The final general is really heartbroken. Now that the Ming thief has the advantage of artillery, this county cannot be guarded for a long time. The only way is to go out of the city." One fight is the only way to turn the crisis into safety."

"I also ask the commander-in-chief to give the last general a chance to avenge his brother."

Looking at Jia Zhongxiao who was furious, he looked very much like himself when he just heard that his elder brother was killed. Emotionally, Zhang Tianfu really wanted to give Jia Zhongxiao a chance to go out of the city to kill the enemy.

But rationally told myself to go out of the city at this time to sneak attack on the artillery positions of the Ming army, which would undoubtedly give the Ming army a head.

At this time Zhang Tianfu fell into hesitation.

Jia Zhongxiao also saw that Zhang Tianfu couldn't bear to go out to die by himself, but if he didn't find an excuse to go out of the city, how could he tell the Ming army the city defense map and troop deployment of She County, and how would he determine the details of putting the Ming army in She County?

There is no way, I have to fight for my future!

Jia Zhongxiao burst into tears, kept kowtowing on the ground, and shouted hysterically: "I know that the commander-in-chief is unwilling to leave the city to die, but now we are sitting in She County and waiting to die?"

"Anyway, it's death. It's better to let the last general go out of the city to fight. As long as he can destroy the artillery of the Ming army, the last general will die without regret!"

"Don't worry, Chief Soldier, the final general will only take three hundred cavalry from the headquarters out of the city!"

Although Jia Zhongxiao was acting at this time, once the hypocrisy was performed to the point of impassionedness, it was still a bit touching!
Looking at the tearful Jia Zhongxiao, Zhang Tianfu was also quite moved, and hurriedly said: "General Jia Shen is a true national scholar!"

In this way, three hundred cavalry quietly left the north gate at night.

Looking at the figures of Jia Zhongxiao and others gradually going away, Zhang Tianfu felt that "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone", and said: "I hope there will be a miracle!"

Although he insisted that Jia Zhongxiao's trip was a gift of a head, ten deaths and no life.However, Zhang Tianfu's body was still very honest, and he immediately ran to Nancheng to observe the situation of the artillery positions of the Ming army.In fact, in his heart, he was very eager to destroy the artillery positions of the Ming army. Only in this way would he be qualified to continue wrestling with Qian Mo.

The night outside the city was as quiet as if time had stopped, except for the faint sound of breathing and footsteps in the ears, there was no sound at all.The stars in the sky are dotted with dots, dotted with a dark land.

At this moment, Zhang Tianfu was staring closely at the artillery positions of the Ming army outside the city, and with the help of the faint moonlight, looked at several torches in the distance.Time passed by little by little, but there was still no movement.

Even if the attack fails, there will always be a little movement, after all, there are hundreds of cavalry.

Could it be that this guy Jia Zhongxiao took the opportunity to sneak out of the city to attack the camp?

Immediately Zhang Tianfu denied his absurd idea, how could he treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Finally, there was a commotion in front of the torches of the Ming army, and the sound of fighting was faintly heard in the city.

Not long after, there was only a loud "boom", as if the whole world was split apart in an instant.The sparks of the explosion flickered, like countless steel monsters colliding with each other in the sky, tearing the curtain of the night.

The light of the flames lit up the entire sky, making one feel as if the whole world was on fire.In this firelight, everything was illuminated clearly and brightly, without hiding anything, as if one could see the heroic figure of Jia Zhongxiao and others fighting!
"Successful", Zhang Tianfu couldn't hide his inner excitement!
After being suppressed by the artillery of the Ming army for a day, now they can finally get rid of this psychological shadow. At this time, the Qing army on the top of the city also burst into cheers!
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky, Qian Mo was also heartbroken, the burning was all silver.

But that's not the case with war, either with human lives or money.He is not the Chongzhen who picks and searches, and if the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem.

Soon after, Jia Zhongxiao, the "hero" of the Qing army, returned to She County with more than 100 remnants.

To be honest, Zhang Tianfu was overjoyed to be able to destroy the artillery positions of the Ming army. He never thought that Jia Zhongxiao would come back alive.

Seeing the blood-stained Jia Zhongxiao, Zhang Tianfu was very excited. He held Jia Zhongxiao's hands tightly and said loudly: "Jia Zhongxiao, the general, is not afraid of hardships and dangers. He risked his life and took the risk to destroy the artillery positions of the Ming army. It is really our army. A role model. The commander-in-chief decided to appoint Jia Zhongxiao as the deputy commander-in-chief of Huizhou, and each soldier in this attack will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver."

After Zhang Tianfu finished announcing the commendation order, the Qing army present burst into loud cheers!
They swept away the haze of being suppressed by the artillery fire of the Ming army during the day, and replaced it with excitement and pride.They began to cheer, arms raised, and slapped each other on the shoulders, celebrating the victory.

Seeing his subordinates with high morale, Zhang Tianfu finally showed a long-lost smile!
I thought to myself: The military spirit is available!

In the early morning, the sky hadn't fully lit up yet, but the Qing soldiers on the city wall had already noticed signs that the Ming army was beginning to gather.Soon, they discovered that the enemy was attacking the city walls.

The guards on the city wall immediately sounded the alarm, and the soldiers quickly ran to their defensive positions.They took up arms and prepared to resist the enemy's attack.

I saw the Ming army wearing armor and holding weapons, walking steadily, marching slowly and uniformly like a city.

Looking at the formation, it doesn't look like they are here to attack the city, but it looks like they are here for a military parade.

Now that the artillery of the Ming army is "destroyed", Zhang Tianfu can be said to be full of information.

He laughed loudly at the Ming army, and said: "This siege is not a military parade, so what's the use of the Ming army making such a show!"

Soon Zhang Tianfu's statement was echoed by several generals of the Qing army. For a while, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the southern city of Shexian County, and he didn't feel like he was facing a big enemy at all.

But their smiles soon froze, because the Ming army stopped when they were 500 meters away from the city wall.

Then a tiger squatting gun was quickly installed on the bracket, and after a while, 30 tiger squatting guns appeared in front of the Qing army.

The tiger squatting guns modified by Shenji Battalion are actually similar to the mortars of later generations, so there is no need to carry mortars.Although the power of the tiger crouching gun is small and the range is short, it is easy to carry, and the lack of power can be made up for in quantity.

Soon the gunners of the Ming army began to correct the range and load the shells into the barrel.

With the order of the commander, thousands of artillery pieces were fired from the Ming army's position.

The Qing army on the city wall was howling. Although the power of this tiger squatting cannon was far less than yesterday's 12-pound heavy cannon, its rate of fire was much faster.

In addition, the south city wall of Shexian County is only more than 600 meters long, and it takes an average of one shell every 20 meters, which is completely covered by the firepower of the tiger squat gun.

Fortunately, the shield soldiers on the city reacted quickly enough to protect Zhang Tianfu and evacuate from the city wall.The rate of fire of the tiger squat gun was much faster than that of the 12-pound cannon, and it took a while to complete the fire coverage of Nancheng like plowing the ground.

Because the Qing army thought that the artillery of the Ming army had been destroyed, they were not prepared to avoid the artillery at all. They were caught off guard by the sudden bombing by the Ming army, and more than 200 Qing soldiers who were too late to withdraw were sent directly to the west by the artillery.

At this time, the city wall is already in a mess, with stumps and broken bodies everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no complete body to be found.

Looking at the deep pits and countless shrapnel on the iron shield, Zhang Tianfu was also afraid for a while, and if he was too late, he would collapse on the Nancheng.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army still had such a hand, and the morale that had been raised up with great difficulty fell to the bottom all of a sudden this time.

The artillery in his city was destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Ming army yesterday, and now he can only be beaten but unable to fight back.

Fortunately, these small cannons of the Ming army are not so powerful, and the iron shield can still resist them.

When Zhang Tianfu was thinking about countermeasures, the sentinel came to report: "My lord, the Ming army outside the southern city has retreated."

This operation of the Ming army is really incomprehensible. If you don't take advantage of the situation to attack the city, why did you suddenly retreat?

But soon Zhang Tianfu got the answer. The Ming army in the south city suddenly moved to the west city, and the west city was bombed by the Ming army and killed more than a hundred people.

Zhang Tianfu suddenly understood, Qian Mo is really poisonous, this is clearly killing people!
It will not take a few days for the Ming army to bombard like this, even if the Ming army does not attack, the Qing army in the city will be self-defeating due to heavy casualties and low morale!
The great revenge has not been avenged, and he must not be defeated by the Ming army just like this.

So Zhang Tianfu said: "Order the craftsmen in the city to wrap the solid wood with iron sheets, and make sure to make five hundred iron shields today."

"If you don't have enough pig iron, go door-to-door to collect ironware for me. If you don't have enough wood, go directly to dismantle the door panels for me. If you don't have enough blacksmiths, mobilize the whole people to forge iron."

In this way, the Ming army went around and shelled outside the city for a day, which made the Qing army tired of coping.

Zhang Tianfu almost couldn't bear it several times, and wanted to rush out to directly attack the artillery positions of the Ming army, but in the end reason overcame the impulse.

At this moment, Wu Sanyong walked over cheerfully, and said happily, "Congratulations to Zongbing Zhang, the general just received a signal from the Ming army at the west gate, and they asked the general to cooperate with them to seize the city at three o'clock tonight!"

Regarding Wu Sanyong, Zhang Tianfu always felt that something was wrong, with Qian Mo's cunning, how could he send such an uncontrollable person over as an internal response.

But faced with such an opportunity, he was still moved.Because the city of Shexian County is different from ordinary cities, each city gate has an urn city.Even if the Ming army cheated to open the Wengcheng, as long as the gate of the inner city is not opened, the Ming army still cannot enter the city.

Moreover, the city of She County is not big, with a total circumference of only 2.6 kilometers. Even if the Ming army took the opportunity to attack other city gates, he would have time to support them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianfu said: "Deputy General Wu, go and reply to the Ming army. We will help them open the city gate at midnight tonight."

The Qing army ambushed a total of 1000 men and horses in Ximen, because the city wall of more than 600 meters can only ambush these people at most.

At the appointed time, Wu Sanyong was seen waving a torch a few times on the city wall to send a message to the Ming army.

At this time, Huang Yu said: "The Qing army in the city sent out a signal. It seems that the Qing army has already laid an ambush. All the gunners obeyed the order and fired directly according to the positions preset during the day."

Wu Sanyong waited anxiously at the west gate for the Ming army to dispatch so that he could enter his ambush circle.As a result, the Ming army was not seen, but the Ming army's angry artillery fire came directly.

There was only a burst of rumbling gunfire, and then the city wall was full of flames, and then there were all kinds of screams.

Zhang Tianfu was stunned at this moment, exclaiming "I've been fooled", and ordered Ximen's team to withdraw immediately.It was only at this time that he realized that the purpose of the Ming army bombarding Xicheng during the day was to adjust the distance of the artillery so that it could be fired directly at night.

After all his calculations, he was still tricked by Qian Mo. This Wu Sanyong is indeed a trap!
The west of the city was full of flames, and the sound of artillery was rumbling; the sound of huge explosions covered the sound of marching.At this time, the gate of the east gate was wide open, and the Ming army was rapidly passing through the Wengcheng and entering the city. The Ming army entered She County in such a grandiose way.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Ming army who boarded the east city quickly attacked the north and south gates through the city wall. The Qing army was caught off guard and kept retreating.

At this time, a Qing army came to report: "It's not good, Mr. General Soldier, Deputy Chief Soldier Jia opened the east gate. Now the Ming army has occupied the west gate and is attacking the north and south gates."

Zhang Tianfu saw Jia Zhongxiao killing the Qing army in the chaos.

So he shouted angrily: "Jia Zhongxiao, I have treated you well, why did you let the Ming army into the city?"

"Did you forget that your elder brother Jia Zhongxian was hacked to pieces by the Ming army in Xiuning?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhongxiao laughed and said: "Zhang Zongbing, who told you that my elder brother was beaten by the Ming army, isn't he alive and well?"

Through the faint light of the torch, Zhang Tianfu vaguely saw a fierce general in armor and holding a big knife beside Jia Zhongxiao, who was constantly hacking and killing the surrounding Qing troops.Take a closer look, this person is Jia Zhongxian!
At this time Zhang Tianfu looked fiercely at Wu Sanyong beside him.

Wu Sanyong was trembling with fright, and stammered: "Zhang Zongbing, this is all Qian Mo's trick, I don't know about it!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Tianfu pulled out his saber and stabbed Wu Sanyong fiercely.The blade pierced through the chest directly, Wu Sanyong's body trembled, and then fell limply to the ground.

Zhang Tianfu held up his bloody saber and shouted: "Brothers, we have fought against the Ming army. Come with me to drive the Ming army out of She County."
