Kong Youde gave an order, and the flag soldiers turned over and dismounted, preparing to attack Shuizhai.However, the Qing army did not charge directly without long brains, but prepared in a very orderly manner.The cavalry of the Qing army was so powerful that people often forget that the Manchurians were a fishing and hunting people born in the mountains and forests, and they were not weak in foot combat.The Han Eight Banners are not really Manchuria, but in recent years, they have been mixed with the Manchurians, and they have also learned some skills, plus the Han army is good at firearms and siege villages.In the screams of Nikan, the Qing army quickly made preparations, and more than an hour later, three thousand elite banner soldiers formed a formation in front of the water village.They were roughly divided into three groups, the first group was less than 500 people, and they carried large shields that had been made out of the hurry, and the shields were wrapped in several layers of oxhide, and they were drenched with water, and birds and bows and arrows could not penetrate them.Normally, this group of people is pushing a kind of shield cart, but at this time, the time is relatively urgent, and the car cannot be found, so the Qing army can only unload the door panels of nearby people.The second group of more than 1,000 men hid behind the shields, holding in their hands birds and bows and arrows, and the birds shot straight at them, and the bows and arrows pointed diagonally at the sky, and did not aim at them, but covered the city all over the world.The third group of people, there are more than 1,500 people, they are the main force of the siege, and when the shield soldiers in front reach the wall, and the archers and birds suppress the head of the city, they will attack.This kind of arrangement can be used in siege warfare and even field battles, and countless Ming armies have been defeated by this tactic of the Qing army.After all, firearms don't work, and they can't cut the fierce Eight Banners, and in the end most of the Ming army failed, but it is not impossible to break the tactics of the Qing army, as long as there are enough artillery.Seeing that the Qing army was ready, Kong Youde immediately waved his hand and roared loudly, "Attack!"
”At the sound of an order, the horn sounded, and the first group of Qing troops holding wooden shields, together with the second wave of Qing troops holding bird guns and bows and arrows, began to move and advance towards the water village.The bannermen were angry, and the barbarians dared to torture their masters in front of them, which was simply looking for death.The Qing army has been fighting for decades, and no one has dared to provoke them like this, and the barbarians must pay the price.Seeing the Qing army advancing, the vision of the rebels and archers on the wall was obscured by the shield, and they could not aim at the Qing army behind, and the advancing Qing army was also full of confidence, believing that the rebels in front of them would be the same as countless Ming troops, and the guns and bows and arrows would all yield under the shield, and once they approached and began to fight in close combat, the weak barbarians would inevitably collapse.However, at this moment, the shield broke.Li Chengdong was forced to go to Liangshan, he had no choice but to fight to the death with the Qing army, waved his hand suddenly, and roared loudly: "Open the cannon!"
”On the earthen wall, the Franc machine of the righteous army suddenly roared, and in the muffled sound of "boom", the artillery carriage retreated sharply, raising a cloud of gunsmoke, and the cannonballs whistled out, smashing the shield of the Qing army, and the Qing army hiding behind wailed in all directions."
Bird Shot!"
Li Chengdong roared again.The sound of "bang bang bang ~" sounded, and after the shield was smashed open, the exposed Qing army, before they could react, their bodies were hit by projectiles, and they shook like chaff and fell to the ground.Seeing the casualties of the former army, Kong Youde's muscles twitched on his face, and he knew that he couldn't follow the rules, so he waved his knife and roared, "Kill!"
”The third man, who was originally waiting for the first two groups of people to suppress the head of the city and carry out the attack, stood up in unison, clenched their weapons, carried the trench bridge and ladder, and began to advance forward with firm steps.Soon the Qing army braved shells and bows and arrows to rush under the wall, but the Qing army did not get close to the wall, but was blocked by the trench and chest in front of the wall.At this time, the Qing army had to face the resistance of the Li Bu melee killer team, and there was a wall above the wall, and the arrows and projectiles shot by the archers and bird gunners of the rebel army suffered heavy losses.However, a group of double-armored banner soldiers, fearless of arrows and birds, climbed over the breastwork, and rushed into the rebels, but the rebels' spears could not pierce them, and the swords could not kill them, and the line immediately loosened, causing chaos.At the critical moment, Zhao Ming picked up a mace, rushed into the enemy, blunt weapon swinging, big stick smashing, invulnerable double-armored soldiers, one by one, either dead or wounded, killed more than ten people in a row, the Qing army was terrified, when it was dark, more than 600 corpses were dropped, and finally the whole line retreated.Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to practice knives, but the time was too short, and in the end, he used an easy-to-use mace.The 180-pound big stick mallet was danced by Zhao Ming like a splash, which was terrifying, and the Qing army under the horror gave Zhao Ming a nickname - Zhao Tieba.When night fell, the Qing army retreated to the camp, and the rebels cleaned up the battlefield with torches, picked up the corpses of the Qing army, took away all the weapons and armor, and even took away the underwear.Anyway, this group of people has no shame, they recognize the thief as their father, forget their ancestors, and it doesn't matter if they die naked.~~~~~~ Qing army camp, Kong Youde was very angry, and at the end of the day, he actually lost more than 600 Qing soldiers, which he couldn't tolerate.But the rebels have Nikan in hand, and he can't help but react, otherwise it will be difficult to explain politically.Now Kong Youde knew that the rebels deliberately provoked him and asked him to attack, but he had to be led by the nose by the rebels.When he was depressed, Wu Zhaosheng still had the national treasure of the earth, and rushed over with the green battalion soldiers who had gathered together.In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights were bright, and there was a sand table in the middle, Shen Zhixiang and a group of Qing army generals stood majestically aside, and Kong Youde came out from the back surrounded by the guards.Kong Youde said in a deep voice: "It's just a temptation during the day, let the traitors take some advantage, tomorrow everyone will attack this king with their lives, if you don't beat Li Chengdong's out, this king won't be surnamed Kong!"
”Shen Zhixiang said: "The prince is right, today is not well prepared, our army has an overwhelming advantage, as long as it is ready, it is not difficult to break it." ”Kong Youde's face sank, and he waved his hand: "The rebels have captured Nikambel, let this king cast a rat trap, and your people will attack overnight to capture the nearby rebels, and come over to participate in the siege."
Wu Zhaosheng, this king will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, and tomorrow you will take the lead.Lao Shen, you will personally supervise the battle tomorrow, and the white flag will be the main attack!
”When the generals in the tent heard the words, they saluted one after another, "Chi!
”Kong Youde bowed his head with satisfaction, and beckoned everyone to come over, "Come, let's discuss a thorough plan for attacking the village!"
”~~~~~~ the wall, Zhao Ming ordered a volunteer army to take care of Nikan and not kill him, and hurriedly walked down the wall.Wu Yi and the others also got off the wall, standing below and waiting, he saw Zhao Ming coming, and said in a deep voice: "Bo'an, you don't have to worry about it here, General Li and I will stick to this place until August 15, and Jiangyin will be handed over to you!"
”Zhao Ming solemnly hugged his fist, "The chief helmsman can rest assured, the sailors will be able to rescue the Jiangyin rebels when they arrive in Jiangyin on August 15!"
”The goal of the rebel army this time was clear, that is, to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and darken the Chen Cang, attract the attention and strength of the Qing army to the area around Taihu Lake, launch uprisings in various parts of the Yangtze River, force Boluo to divide his troops and turn his attention to the south, while the rebel army took advantage of the Qing army's attention shift to rescue the Jiangyin rebel army.Hu Weizong said: "Hall Master Zhao, the ship is ready!"
”Zhao Ming then solemnly hugged his fists to Wu Yi, Hou Yuzeng, Li Chengdong, Li Yuanyin and others, "Everyone, Zhao is gone!"
”Everyone clenched their fists in solemnity, and Wu Yi said: "Bo'an, it's a success!"
”The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, Zhao Ming and Hu Weizong boarded the ship, the ship took fifty cavalry in the dark night, left the water village, they will choose a place to go ashore, and then run to Jiangyin, to complete an impossible mission.()
