Nanming Yiming

Chapter 132

Soon there was a "whoosh", and a loud arrow pierced the sky, leaving a long mark in the blue sky.

On the East Fort, which is 400 meters away from the West Fort, another hundred households of the Ming army are watching the Qing army ahead with binoculars.

Hundreds of households shouted: "West Fort has sent out a signal, the tiger is squatting and the gun is ready, aim at the moat of East Fort, load and launch."

With an order, the three tigers on the East Fort crouched and opened fire immediately.Although this kind of light mortar is not very powerful, the target area in front of the moat has been adjusted for a long time, and the fire rate of the tiger squatting gun is relatively fast.

A round of artillery shells landed accurately in the formation of the Qing army. This sudden attack caused the Qing army to be in chaos, and the air waves set off by the artillery shells even directly blasted several Qing troops into the air.

Soon the second round of shelling followed. A shell directly hit a chariot, and the flying wooden pieces were directly inserted into the bodies of several Qing soldiers nearby. The surrounding Qing soldiers instantly The bombed flesh was bloody.The screams and howls instantly resounded throughout the battlefield, making people shudder.

Seeing that the time had come, the hundreds of households of the Ming army on the West Fort shouted, "Hurry up and shoot while the Qing army is in chaos!"

At this time, the Qing army by the river was in a mess, and the bombed chariot left a big gap, which just provided a good target for the Ming army.

"Bang, bang, bang"

As bursts of white smoke rose, dozens of Qing soldiers were shot and killed immediately. The bullets easily passed through the bodies of the Qing soldiers, and bursts of blood mist filled the air.

Hearing the fire of the Ming army's guns, the Qing army quickly ran behind the chariot to avoid the shooting of the Lumi guns.

But I didn't expect that the firecrackers of the Ming army would directly penetrate the chariot. A Qing army widened his eyes, looked at the blood hole on his body in disbelief, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

As if to say, "How is this possible?"

Taking advantage of the interval between the Ming army's gunfire, a Qing army chief Qian shouted: "Don't panic, quickly shoot arrows at the fort to suppress the firepower of the Ming army."

But soon the shells of the Ming army fell into the formation again, blocking the offensive of the Qing army.

Mr. Qian scolded: "The Ming army's artillery is too accurate, how can we fight this battle?"

How did he know that the artillery of the Ming army had already adjusted the firing range to this area, could it not be accurate?

Fortunately, the Ming army only had three tiger-squatting cannons. If there were ten cannons, the Qing army would have to be plowed by the artillery like a plow in the past few rounds.

In this way, the tiger squatting cannon of the Ming army and the Lumi blunderbuss on the fort cooperated with each other. After the fire blunderbuss was fired, the shells arrived as scheduled, which perfectly made up for the interval between the two sides' firing.

This style of play is really shameless, it's simply disgusting and fucking open the door to disgusting—it's so disgusting!

As a result, the Qing army was simply unable to launch a counterattack, and could only be beaten passively.

Chief Qian of the Qing Army gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, retreat quickly!"

Facing the receding Qing army like a tide, the Ming army on the fort seized the opportunity to shoot quickly, and left dozens of Qing army corpses here.

In the Qing army formation behind, Tang Li, the general of Wusong, looked ashen, and there were at most 50 enemy troops in a mere garrison.

The Green Battalion under his command attacked twice, killing more than 350 people.

What's even more exasperating is that I haven't even touched the wall of the fort on my side.

The Qing Army Chief Qian who was withdrawn said in disgrace: "Master Chief, the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce, and the flesh and blood of the brothers can't resist it. If you don't withdraw the humble post, the entire army will be wiped out!"

Looking at Mr. Qian in front of him, Tang Li was in a very complicated mood.This person is his confidant, and he has been with him for many years, but now that the battle is like this, if he is not dealt with, how can he boost morale again?

Master Eight Banners in the back was watching with a knife in his hand. If he didn't deal with this person, then he might be the one who will be dealt with next.

Dead Daoist friends, not dead poor Daoists.

So he turned his heart and said loudly: "President Qian Jianghu is not good in the battle, he fled before the battle, drag me down and behead him, as a warning to others!"

What Tang Li said stunned the surrounding Qing soldiers.

Everyone begged for mercy, especially those Qing soldiers who had withdrawn from the battlefield just now. They shouted: "Now that the enemy is at hand, I am afraid that our army will be disadvantaged by cutting the generals before the battle; please allow Mr. Jiang Qian to take the crime and make meritorious deeds!"

Seeing everyone begging for mercy, Tang Li asked: "Jiang Hu, you are also an old man in the army, do you know what crime should be for running away?"

Jiang Hu was also taken aback. Their green battalion has always been like this in wars. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will run away.He didn't expect Tang Li to directly take the knife on himself, but he thought that Tang Li should just put on a show to show Bashan behind him, the old brother for many years, can he really kill himself?
So Jiang Hu decided to give him face, and said: "If you escape in battle, you should be executed according to the law. I also ask the commander-in-chief to read the last general's past achievements on the Internet, and give the latter a chance to make a contribution."

Thinking of saving face, he gave Tang Li enough, so he could just put on a show.Unexpectedly, Tang Li said next: "Since you know that you should be beheaded according to the law, then don't blame the military law for being ruthless, and delay the beheading for me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that Tang Li was serious, they didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Hearing this, Jiang Hu cursed even more: "Tang Li, you ungrateful bastard. I went through life and death for you, and you actually want to take me out! If it wasn't for me, you would have died a few years ago!"

Tang Li said: "Brother Jiang, you can go at ease, I will take care of your family!"

He roared to the left and right again: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and drag me down for execution."

After dealing with Jiang Hu, Tang Li pulled out his saber and shouted: "All officers and men obey the order, attack with the whole army, and must take down the fortress in front. If there are those who retreat in fear of war, Jiang Hu is your role model!"

Just as Tang Li was about to attack the whole army to take the fort, Bashan sent people to stop him.

Although he looked down on these green battalion soldiers from the bottom of his heart, cannon fodder should be cherished now. Although Tang Li's entire army could take down the two fortresses in front, the casualties must be heavy.If the cannon fodder is exhausted in advance, is it necessary to let his Eight Banners elite go to attack Jinshan Weicheng?

So Bashan said: "It's just two small fortresses. There is no need to spend more troops and horses to attack them. Pass on to my general, move the artillery position to the south for another mile, and directly use the red cannons to blow up the two fortresses." .”

Following Bashan's order, the red cannons of the Qing army were quickly placed in place. As the distance got closer, the red cannons roared, and multiple shells fell near Xibao, blasting out big holes.

Hundred households of the Ming army on the West Fort said: "The Qing army has used the red cannons. They are adjusting the range of the guns. It is estimated that they will hit here soon. Brothers, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and move from the tunnel as soon as possible."

Sure enough, a solid bullet directly hit the front of the West Fort not long after, punching a big hole in the wall, and then another shell hit, directly blowing a piece of the West Fort down.

Seeing that the fort that blocked him before was blown to pieces under the attack of the red cannon.

Tang Li was overjoyed and ordered the 2000 Green Battalion to quickly attack and occupy the fort.

The moat in front of the garrison itself was not wide, and with the large number of Qing soldiers, the moat was quickly filled.

Although the three tiger squatting guns in Dongbao still fired shells continuously, causing certain casualties to the Qing army who were filling the river.

However, the Ming army in Xibao seems to have no action. It is difficult to stop the Qing army's attack by relying on three tiger squatting cannons alone.

Soon after crossing the moat, the Qing army successfully occupied West Fort.

Bashan, who was watching the battle from a distance, finally showed a gratified smile, and said loudly: "This Ming army will play some tricks. In the face of the absolute strength of our army, it is not vulnerable."

The surrounding generals also flattered one after another, saying: "The commander of Bashan is wise and powerful, and the Ming army will naturally run away when they see you!"

Ba Shan said: "There is another garrison in front, order the red cannons to continue firing, and take down another garrison in one go."

The idea is good, but the reality is very skinny. The soldiers came to report: "Due to the continuous firing of the red cannon, the barrel temperature is too high. At this moment, it needs to be cooled, so we have to stop shooting, otherwise there is a danger of explosion."

Now they are only fighting for the outer fortresses, and have not yet started attacking Jinshanwei. They can't use up the red cannons because of a small mistake. Anyway, the other fortress doesn't need to fill the river anymore, let Tang Li attack directly.

Seeing that the West Fort was successfully captured, Tang Li, the general of Wusong, came here to test his results.

But soon his expression changed from happy to sad, and a soldier said: "Report to Zongbing Tang, there is no corpse of a Ming soldier found here in Xibao!"

Before, when he saw that there were no firecrackers from the Ming army in West Fort, he thought that the Ming army had been wiped out by the Qing army in the previous artillery fire. He did not expect that the Ming army did not even leave a body behind.

Tang Li was very puzzled, could it be that the Ming army could go to the sky and enter the earth?

There was only a loud "boom", and as soon as the artillery shells of the founding army fell not far away, the splashed mud made Tang Li look ashamed.

Only then did Tang Li realize that there was still a fort ahead that had not been conquered.

Wiping the dust off his face, he shouted: "The whole army is attacking, take down the fort ahead for me."

Soon, a large number of Qing troops slowly advanced forward under the cover of a chariot.

Since there is no river blocking the front, Tang Li believes that the Qing army will soon break through.After all, the small fortress is not a city, and the Ming army's firecrackers can't be fired continuously. As long as they are besieged from all sides, although there will be some casualties, it is still easy to take down.

Under the cover of the chariot, the Qing army advanced smoothly all the way. At this time, they were only a hundred steps away from the fortress, and it was difficult for the Ming army's tiger squatting cannon to hit such a close target.

Just when the Qing army was confidently preparing to launch an attack, they had to stop their steps.

Although there was no river barrier in front of the Ming army's fortress, the criss-crossing ravines in front of it made it impossible for the chariot to pass through.

Looking at the ravine that was as high as one person, the Qing army began to scold their mothers, "Are these Ming troops all belong to rats, who know how to dig holes all day long?"

To be precise, it is not completely impossible to pass through. There is still a road more than one meter wide in these intersecting ravines that can lead to the front of the fort.

Chief Qian of the Qing army who led the charge sneered and said, "Does the Ming army think we are all fools? They deliberately pay attention to a road and let us follow this road to die!"

Come on, fill me up with soil, and fill up these gullies directly.

Of course he has his own thoughts, as long as he slowly honed his foreign work, and when the red cannons of the Qing army resumed shooting, he would not have to take the risk of charging.

The gully in front of him just gave him a good excuse, filling the hole is much safer than attacking the fort.

Hundred households of the Ming army on the East Castle said: "It seems that the Qing army is not stupid. Instead of attacking along the path, they chose to fill the hole and advance slowly."

Another Ming army said: "At a distance of [-] steps, we can barely hit them by adjusting the angle of the tiger squatting cannon."

Baihu shook his head and said: "The red cannons of the Qing army will be turned off for at most half an hour. First dismantle the tiger squatting cannons and retreat into the tunnel."

Then another ringing arrow was shot from the sky over Dongbao!
Tang Li frowned when he saw the sounding arrows. Every time the Ming army fired a sounding arrow, it would definitely summon artillery to attack.

Sure enough, after receiving the signal, the Frang machine artillery at the south gate of Jinshan Acropolis began to show off its power.

The power of the Frang machine artillery is much greater than that of the tiger crouching cannon. A round of shells roared in, instantly blowing up the Qing soldiers on their backs.

A car was directly blown into the sky and hit the ground heavily.After the artillery fire, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there was a smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. The injured Qing army was crying in pain on the ground, and there was a horrible atmosphere on the battlefield.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Qing army, which had just escaped a catastrophe, was attacked by the Ming army's Lumi blunderbuss. Although the distance was close to the limit of effective killing, the Qing army who escaped from the protection of the chariot was still shot and killed by the Ming army.

At this time, Mr. Qian of the Qing army was shocked into the ravines on the side by the air waves from the shells. He suddenly found that these ravines were a good place to avoid bombs.

Soon the second wave of artillery fire from the Ming army roared again.

Although the Qing army really wanted to retreat, but when they thought of Jiang Hu's end just now, they couldn't move their legs again, so they could only bite the bullet and stick to it.

So under Qian Zong's greeting, more Qing troops chose to jump into the tunnel.

Sure enough, the tunnel was very safe, as if it was a natural bomb crater, even though the outside was bombed to pieces, they just ate some dirt inside, and they were not injured at all.

At this time, the size became a problem. These tunnels are about 1 meters. Basically, as long as the ones below 75 meters are pasted in the tunnels, there is no problem. These tall Qing soldiers had no choice but to hide in the tunnel with their backs bent.

Hundreds of households of the Ming army on the East Fort laughed and said, "These Qing soldiers finally got their head around it and know how to hide in the tunnels to avoid shells."

Seeing that the goal has been achieved, he said: "Notify the brothers at the distant gate, open the gate to release the water, and introduce the river water into the tunnel."
