Win the Ding 1617

"Most of the inland Frangji and invincible generals are about seven feet long each. The manufacturing process is not limited to copper or iron, but the main strength is thick. According to the "Wu Bei Zhi" written by Mr. Mao Yuanyi, the inland guns The Frang machine is 'tested in the teaching field, and it can reach a hundred steps', and the Frang machine made by ourselves has an effective range of only more than 500 meters!"

Mai Tiansheng is very familiar with the situation in his professional field, and he speaks clearly.

"Furthermore, after the three sub-guns are fired, they must cool down for a while to prevent the sub-guns from overheating. Firstly, the shooting range is not far away, and secondly, there are worries about accidents such as bombing the chamber."

"Old Mai!" Liang Kuan said with a smile on the side.

"I just listened to your method, and inspired by you, I also have a method, which is to make a little improvement on your method."

Liang Kuan's method is actually simpler.

Before the personnel filling the Zhuanghe set off, first create the movement that the large group of troops is about to start attacking, or send a small group of troops to move outside the range of the Flang machine on the fence to lure those timid and fearful in the Jiqing siege. The panicked gunner opened fire, "Either we shout a few times, or we spend more money, fire a few guns, and lure them to fire!"

"Even if their cannons can't explode, it's good to consume more of their gunpowder and guns!"

Mai Tiansheng punched Liang Kuan hard on the chest, "Liang Kuan! You bastard! It's thanks to you to come up with such a wicked and smoky idea!"

"Regardless of virtue or not, it's a good way to deflate your opponent!"

Chen Tianhua made the final decision on everyone's discussions.

"[-]. When the battalions go back, immediately build the fortifications and artillery positions. The construction of the fortifications must be completed before dark. Second, deploy troops to carry out activities around Jiqing Surroundings to lure the artillery fire on the perimeter! Second, as you said, it would be good to let them consume more gunpowder!"

This tactic was known to Mao Yuanyi in Zhangpu, Fujian a few months later. Mao Yuanyi, who was caught by the North Korean and Central Party rivals and demoted to this place as a garrison because of the mutiny of the Liaodong Army, relied on the cup of food every day to relieve his mood.

"Unexpectedly, this group of southern barbarians also learned the tricks of building slaves in the north! They used empty guns and dummy cannons to lure me. After our army's ammunition was fired, they either used iron cavalry to attack or bombarded our army with guns!"

This kind of tactics was used in Liaodong, during the process of several times of building slaves and entering the customs.Both were used in the process of confrontation between the two armies.Although very cliche.But it has been tried and tested.Whenever the two armies face the enemy.Either send rangers to shoot arrows to lure the enemy, or let the Han army come forward and launch firearms to lure the Ming army to fire.After the Ming army opened fire, it took a long time for the guns to cool down and reload the ammunition. During this time, Jiannu would either fire the guns or charge into the battle with iron cavalry.

Known as the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called Liaodong iron cavalry, their psychological endurance and battlefield discipline could not withstand such tactics. How could a mere clan encirclement be able to resist it?Thinking of this, Mao Yuanyi felt at ease, picked up a full glass of wine, "Good wine!"

That night, people in Jiqingwei spent a sleepless night in tension and fear.

From time to time, outside the enclosure wall, someone either uttered threats loudly, or opened fire here and there.At first people fired back with guns and guns, but after several false alarms, people's mentality and mental state also became exhausted. You can do whatever you want outside the river moat!

good!Sporadic harassment you ignore me!Then, the sentinel-level shouting began.

The battalions stationed outside Jiqingwei, in addition to the troops responsible for supervising and leading civilians to build camps and artillery positions there, also dispatched a sentry from each battalion to take turns to harass the surrounding areas of Jiqingwei.

Every half an hour or so, or to the east, or to the west, or to the north, there is a burst of sound of troops marching in, the clash of swords and guns, or whispering, or the splashing of the Huzhuang River, in short. , are all frightening.

As for the other five enclosures, the South Enclosure, the North Enclosure and the New Enclosure, they were attacked in another form.

"The rent is reduced to [-]%, and the interest is only one and a half cents!"

"The accounts of the ancestral hall must be made public!"

"The income from the public property of the ancestral hall is shared by the whole family!"

"Officials and gentry pay food and errands together!"

"Assessment of taxes should be based on property!"

The sound of similar slogans, accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, was sent far away in the deep night.

Amidst the bright lights, Chen Tianhua looked at the camp that had begun to take shape, and nodded in satisfaction. "After the camp is built, let the brothers sleep for two hours, and then eat! After the meal, the battalions are dispatched!"

When dawn broke, several fast horses rushed towards Xin'an County as if they were flying in a hurry.The rider on the horse took a look at the densely packed camp, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily due to the dense artillery emplacements around Jiqingwei.

"This group of thieves are really fast!"

"Qi Ye, what should we do? Are we still in the enclosure?"

"You bastard!" Deng Qi waved his whip and slammed the top of the bamboo helmet on the man's head, "Of course you have to go in, and if you have eggs, you can rush in with me from the gap outside the fence and report to the grandfather! "

Outside the enclosure, the lights are brightly lit, just like the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Near some passages, many fires were lit with firewood to illuminate the way for people coming and going.

While the sparks were splashing, Deng Qi's fast horses rushed to the bank of the Zhuang River outside the enclosure along the passages reserved for the battalions to attack.

"What! Four people rushed into the encirclement on horseback?!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Tianhua got the report from the sentry officer on duty immediately.

"Yes! These four people should be messengers who went to various places to ask for help. They rushed to the edge of the fence by taking advantage of the gap between the two patrol units of our army. The people on the fence immediately lowered the suspension bridge and let them enter the fence!"

When four people go in, there won't be much change in the strength comparison between the enemy and us. At most, the situation outside will be reported to the person in charge inside.Maybe.Those bad news will affect their popular support and morale even more!

"What? Wu Wenming took our money, but he refused to come to mediate? He refused to even leave the city?"

In the enclosure, Mr. Deng Yuanxun sat down on a chair as if his last energy had been ruthlessly taken away, unable to speak for a long time.

"Yes! The thief bird took [-] silver from us, but he only said that the surroundings of the county are not stable. He didn't dare to leave easily for fear of losing the county. He just wrote a letter and asked his grandson to bring it back to Nan. The leader of the Central Army. Let us either hand it over to the leader of the South Central Army to negotiate peace with them, or temporarily avoid the front. Go to the county seat."

"Bullshit! Our family, young and old. How can we break out from the siege of thousands of armies?!"

"It seems that only a dead horse is a living horse doctor!"

Mrs. Deng glanced at the letter on the table, and he pinned his last hope on the magistrate's face.

"Go! Get my robe! In addition, send someone to prepare the incense table. Three animals."

Caressing the color of that Juren's robe.Old Mrs. Deng had a look of determination. "Xiao Qi, remember, this clothes. It's the shroud after Grandfather's death!"

"If there is a mistake, you have to do everything possible to break out, save a little blood of my Deng family, and don't think about revenge, just find a safe place to live quietly..."

Deng Qi had tears all over his face, hugging Deng Yuanxun's legs and crying loudly: "Grandpa..."

"Get up! Boneless thing! I'm not dead yet!" Deng Yuanxun put the Juren hat on his head of white hair, and the look of the overlord who ruled the roost was in his eyes.

"Go! Gather the whole circle, young and old, to defend against the wall, and tell them that life and death are only today!"

Outside the enclosure, the South Central Army and the North Route Army had already lined up, and the brigade assembled behind the gun emplacements.The battalion flags of each battalion marked the boundaries between the battalion and other battalions, and the battalion flags and the battalion officers' recognition flags fluttered at both ends of the battalion formation.The trumpeters of each battalion communicated with each other in the battalion with the sound of the trumpet to convey information.From time to time, fast cavalry horses galloped through the passage between battalions.

In front of the battalion formation, more than ten steps away from the artillery positions, a row of dozens of ammunition vehicles lined up, providing ammunition supplies for more than a hundred artillery pieces of various colors in front of them.

In the battalion, another big weapon of the South China Army, the rocket, was aggrieved and hid behind the battalion, waiting for his time to go into battle.

Today, Chen Tianhua doesn't plan to use this kind of weapon, he urgently needs many things in Jiqingwei.The importance of those things is more important than food, gold and silver, cloth, knives and guns, and gunpowder.It must not be burned!

With prestige, Chen Tianhua's goal has been achieved.

The young and old of the Deng family on Weizi Wall saw the momentum of thousands of people outside, and then looked at the people around them, their morale was even lower.

A white flag appeared on the fence wall.

"Military masters! My Deng family is full of old and weak people, and I am willing to pay the Nanzhong Army to show my sincerity. From now on, under the banner of the Nanzhong Army, I will obey all orders, and only the general will obey!"

It was Deng Yuanxun who spoke, and it was hard for him, in his dying years, to be able to have such confidence and lung capacity to speak out clearly what he meant.

However, the artillery team lined up [-] paces outside the Huzhuang River received a military order from Mai Tiansheng, "Leave him alone! Pay attention to each artillery and fire!"

A group of cannonballs swept across the river at a low level, and went straight to the village wall made of blue bricks, stone strips, burnt ash and glutinous rice paste. The huge impact force sent the cannonballs into the wall, and the collision People on the wall felt the shock under their feet.

The Nanzhong Army responded to Mr. Deng's proposal with cannons.

"Fire back!"

Deng Qi waved his sword and shouted and cursed.

The gunners on the fort were a little hesitant, "Qi Ye, this cannon was harassed by the South China Army last night, and I don't know how many cannons were fired. Now the cannon barrel is hot, if you fire it again, something will happen! "

"Bastard! Who wants you to fire at night! Do you not fight during the day and fight at night?! I don't care if something happens to him. The Nanzhong Army gang of thieves entered the enclosure, and no one will be cured! Fire!"

The gunners were scolded, so they had to carefully load the gunpowder and shells, and just after igniting the cannons with a match, a loud bang sounded from the fort at the southeast corner of the enclosure.

Because the barrel was overheated, the Dafolang machine exploded!

The explosion of the big Buddha machine triggered the gunpowder barrel next to it. How did the gunners in these Zhuang Ding understand the norm of the safe distance between the artillery and the ammunition?for a while.The blast of gunpowder pushed the gunpowder one by one to the nearby horse face and the wall of the village, splashing bloody flowers one by one.

"Good! Well fried!"

Seeing his idea come to fruition, Mai Tiansheng applauded happily.

"Turn up the muzzle by five degrees, face the position of the crenel, and give me a blast!"

At a range of less than two miles, that happens to be the best range for the eight-pounders, twelve-pounders, and those Big Franglers of the ten-pounder's power.

The bullet rain formed by the artillery fire mixed with the broken bricks and rocks that were collapsed by the shells, crushed the people hiding behind the crenels so that they could not lift their heads.

In the smoke, the artillery of the South China Army focused on taking care of the two horse faces adjacent to the fort that had just been martyred. The shells rained down one after another. On the emplacement of the invincible general's bronze cannon on the horse's face.Immediately knocked the barrel of the Invincible General into the air.At the same time, after a few jumps, the scorching shells hit the gunpowder barrel on the side again, and immediately, a small cloud rose over the horse's face.Mixed with shells and human remains.

Although the kinetic energy of the shells flying around is not so powerful.But through the bodies of people you meet nearby.It is still possible to turn them into stumps, or fall to the ground crying and moaning.And those scattered masonry debris.It also caused huge casualties to the people. From time to time, there were cries, groans, and wailing sounds from the rising smoke, mixed with thick blood and echoing on the walls of the village.

In a blink of an eye, two horse faces from the fort in the southeast corner to the west were destroyed by artillery fire. After two rounds of heavy artillery fire, there was no one who could stand up independently on this section of the wall.

Someone leaned obliquely on the crenel of the wall, and kept using his hands to stuff light blue intestines and other dark red and dark green viscera into his stomach through the huge wound on his stomach, but, Soon, those viscera and intestines would slip out of the wound without a sound.He stuffed it back again and again, his body convulsed violently due to the pain, and pushed out the intestines and internal organs without a sound. During this round and round, his pupils gradually became bigger.

Another person was crawling hard on the wall of the wall, from time to time he used his left hand to drag each body away, and searched carefully in the places covered by them, "My right hand, my right hand, I don't have my right hand , but how do you help the plow to plow the field?" His right wrist was still bleeding, and he didn't know what was cutting off his right hand.

Under the wall of the village, several trumpeters raised their bronze horns to the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, and told the brothers behind with a loud horn sound that the trench can be filled!

At the sound of the trumpet, a thousand recruits, shouting like arrows, rushed out from the passage between the battalions, carrying straw bags filled with soil on their shoulders, and surrounded by four hundred firearms brothers. Under the cover, he came straight to Huzhuang River.

There are all kinds of messy things floating on the surface of the Huzhuang River. People take advantage of the smoke that has not dissipated on the wall of the village, and run quickly by the river, throwing straw bags into the river one by one, causing a splash of water on the river. .

"The Nanban want to fill the river!"

Seeing the straw bags emerging from the river surface through the smoke, Deng Qi didn't care to wipe away the blood smeared in the corner of his eyes, "Brother Shihuo, come with me!"

From the wall of the stronghold, there was a burst of firecrackers, more than a dozen projectiles flew down from the perforations of the battlements, and several recruits with straw bags on their shoulders fell to the ground.

"Quick! Drag it away! Send it to the doctor!" The leader of the team threw the straw bag on his shoulder into the river with all his strength, and yelled at several soldiers to drag the injured comrade down for treatment.The team and progress of filling the river were slightly delayed due to the chaos.

"Okay! Just hit like this!"

Seeing that his tactics had achieved results, Deng Qi couldn't help shouting proudly.

Another round of bullets flew down from the top of the city, and several soldiers were knocked to the ground, with blood bubbling from their bodies and heads, and they were dying.

"what!"

Seeing such a tragic situation, the two recruits, who had been chatting and laughing with their comrades just now, suddenly fell to the ground in a blink of an eye. They panicked, threw the straw bag on their shoulders casually, turned around and fled backwards, not paying attention. Where was the straw bag thrown, and did it trip someone up?

"Fighting in front of the battle, chaos and nuisance, beheaded on the spot!"

After running for a few steps, he bumped into the guard battalion who was covering and supervising the battle, and was caught by Liang Kuan.

Several sword and shield soldiers rushed forward, pressed the two fleeing recruits to the ground, stripped off their armor, and said, "Kneel down!"

Before he finished speaking, a sword and shield soldier swung his big knife and slashed forward, "Pfft!" The head was cut off by the big knife, and the section of the neck seemed to shrink into the chest cavity.Moments later, the huge pressure in the body spurted out blood, which sprayed the heads and faces of several people around.

"Look out! Back off and disrupt the formation, that's the end! Not only is he dead, but his parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters will all be discriminated against in the future! This is a deserter!"

The two armor chiefs picked up the two heads with their spears and announced loudly to the people passing by.

"If you die in battle, you will receive a pension, and if you are disabled, you will have a pension and a place to work to earn money to eat. If you escape, it is also a capital crime, and it will hurt your family. You all choose which way to die!"

In the face of strict and almost cruel military discipline, no one dared to back down.

And the musketeers also rushed forward one after another, firing at the positions where the projectiles were fired just now. For a while, there were constant shots on and off the city!

"Let it go! Let it go!"

The two big Franglers were dragged to the bank of the river by the gunners. The skilled gunners quickly loaded the guns and began to shoot shotguns at the top of the city.

Under the cover of artillery and firecrackers, the filled river became wider and wider, extending to the opposite side of the river without stopping. Finally, a few straw bags emerged from the water on the opposite side of Huzhuang River!

"Lay door panels!" (to be continued...)
