Lu Hanqiang held on to the broken city wall battlements and asked, "Haven't you sent back the movements of the Manchu Eight Banners since your prison sergeant sat to investigate?"
Xu Jie shook his head in embarrassment: "No, the Manchu Eight Banners are still assembled in the camp in the northern suburbs of Shengjing, and they are still standing still." ” "This is impossible, this war is related to the life and death of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can he Huang Taiji always hold a heavy army and be indifferent, this is very unreasonable, there must be something wrong, we didn't see it."
Looking at the wounded who were constantly being carried out of the city, Lu Hanqiang depressedly kept hitting the city wall with his fists.
Huang Taiji does not move, then he can not invest all the reserves to supplement Xinmin City, now the strength of the two sides is almost equal, and in this kind of street fighting, the musket can not play its greatest advantage, as a result, this is a bad battle, completely began to rely on desperate, such attrition is intolerable to Lu Hanqiang.
At this time, Zhao Sihai hurriedly ran to the head of the city, threw the big knife in his hand aside, and reported to Lu Han: "The enemy is very tenacious, and he will never abandon the place they are guarding until the last man, which has caused us huge losses, and the speed of the attack is also quite slow.
Then he paused, "And if that were the case, there would be very few of our 50,000 musketeers left." ” "If we want to oppress Huang Taiji through this kind of street fighting, let him send his Manchurian Eight Banners to reinforcements, or force Huang Taiji to show his hole cards, then we have to spend it like this at all costs."
Xu Jie suggested to Lu Hanqiang expressionlessly.
Lu Hanqiang held the battlements of the city wall with both hands, looked at the bloody street from afar, and shook his head gently after a long time: "My soldiers are all my brothers, and I can't allow this kind of almost senseless sacrifice to fight such a bad battle, I want to occupy this city as soon as possible, occupy Xinmin, and then directly face the heart of the capital of the Manchu Dynasty."
Then he shook his head again helplessly, "This is no longer a city, the city is about to become a ruin."
Then he turned to the lieutenant officer who was following him and ordered: "You rush to Montenegro overnight, escort more cavalry explosives packs, distribute these explosives, and then order the soldiers, regardless of whether there are enemies or civilians in the courtyard, as long as they do not shout three times to surrender, they will blow him up."
When Lu Hanqiang said this, his face was calm and indifferent.
Zhao Sihai sizzled and inhaled the cold air, this is to make Xinmin City and jade burn, this concept does not match Zhao Sihai's character, but he opened his mouth and wanted to give a few words of advice, or choose between his brother being killed and accidentally injuring some people, and finally Zhao Sihai still chose to protect his brother with difficulty.
At noon the next day, the transport team transported countless explosives bags for the cavalry and distributed them to all the front-line soldiers without stopping.
So Lu Hanqiang, who was standing on the head of the high city, saw that in front of his eyes, this ancient city was collapsing and destroying in the distance at a speed visible to the naked eye, like the waves of the sea.
The sound of the explosion was no longer audible, but it was connected, and each soldier rushed to a courtyard with a bag of explosives weighing no more than two pounds in his hand, and shouted three times to the inside to make them surrender.
After three times and no response, they would immediately ignite the explosives bag in their hands and throw it into the yard, and then, with the sound of an explosion collapsing, they would rush into the ruined yard, sweep away the surviving enemies, and then announce that the yard was occupied by themselves, and then rush to the next yard.
Under the condition of three warnings, there are very few enemies and people who come out to surrender, the reason is that this Xinmin is Tong Tulai's old nest, and the people here are almost all the families of those Tong Tulai soldiers, Tong Tulai has ordered those who retreat to be beheaded, and they will abide by the iron order of Xinmin, under such high pressure, who dares to come out and surrender So, the people's cries and screams were drowned out in the sound of explosions.
Tong Tulai expressed satisfaction with the first day of the battle, he was close to 50,000 horses, and played its due advantage in the street fighting, and the streets and alleys and ancient houses seriously restricted the enemy's movement, especially the muskets of the Fuliao army, it was difficult to play an effective role between the labyrinthine houses, and everyone could only rely on primitive hand-to-hand combat to fight for it, and at the end of the battle at night, Tong Tulai counted his men and horses again, and about 4,000 people died on the two sections of the city wall.
But in this street battle, his own losses were only a little more than 2,000, according to the number of kills reported from various places, there were nearly 10,000, of course, Tong Tulai knew that there was a lie about military exploits here, and if Lu Hanqiang had lost so many people in this combat force, he would have given up the attack a long time ago.
However, even if there is a lie about military exploits, after folding in half and then folding in half, Lu Hanqiang should also lose about 2,000, that is to say, everyone's losses are equal, in this way, things will be easy to do, he is 40,000 horses, Lu Hanqiang is 50,000 horses, directly occupy the familiar terrain, and the most important thing is that he still has a large number of forces that have not been used, that is, the people in the city, now the enemy's morale is booming, and the people can not play any role, and it will be consumed like this, as long as it takes three or five days, Lu Hanqiang's morale will fall into a trough, and at that time, he will coerce the people into battle, and when the time comes, Lu Hanqiang, who has always confessed that he loves the people, will shrink back, and Lu Hanqiang will completely collapse, and his Xinmin City will be defended.
At dawn, Tong Tulai didn't hear the shouts of the enemy's attack, so he couldn't help but smile proudly, it seems that Lu Hanqiang lost a lot in the street battle, and he has begun to hesitate now, which is a good sign.
However, in the afternoon, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the sound of explosions slowly approached his garrison from the north and south.
According to the news reported urgently, Lu Hanqiang actually tore off his pretense of loving the people and began to indiscriminately blast every house that resisted, which suddenly changed the mode of war, which made Tong Tulai feel hopeless.
When he got the report on the specific situation on the battlefield, "Don't they care about the people?"
Tong Tulai jumped to his feet and shouted: "Didn't he Lu Hanqiang always claim to love the people, why did he become so mad this time?"
The person who returned could only bow his head and explain with blood-red eyes: "According to Lu Hanqiang's statement, if you don't surrender three times in a row, you are the enemy, and he will never be soft on the enemy."
Then he knelt on the ground with a grunt: "Lord Banner, you can be gracious and let those people live, we can fight and die for you, this is fate, so that our family can live." ” I'm tired like a dog today, but don't want those with poor grades. t1706231537:
