Zhao Ming was full of confidence, and the soldiers of the Ming army regarded the Rakshasa people as grass mustard, which made the leaders of the Jurchen tribes feel a little bottomless.They were bullied by the Rakshasas, and they also attacked the fortress of the Rakshasas together, and they knew how powerful the Rakshasas were.Although the leaders also admitted the strength of the Ming army, they still didn't believe it in their hearts when they captured the fortress in half a month.This strange castle, with brute force and a large number of people, is simply difficult to take down, and they have already paid a bloody lesson.Faced with the doubts of the leaders, Zhao Ming did not explain too much, but let them see the true strength of the Ming army.Killing the Jianzhou Jurchens is a warning, and attacking Hailan Pao is a stage made in heaven, this battle is played at a level, the entire Northeast, the Jurchens in the Outer Northeast, and the Mongols will completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty.After Zhao Ming made a decision, he returned to the camp, and then began to arrange, let Li Ponu lead a thousand cavalry, detour back to the north of Hailanpao, block the channel of Heilongjiang, cut off the connection between Hailanpao and the two Russian strongholds of Yaksa and Nebuchu upstream, and then the army began to attack the city.The Ming army rested in the city for the night, and the next morning, after breakfast, the artillery began to set up red-coated cannons, and the infantry carried hoes and shovels and assembled outside the camp."
Let's get started!"
Zhao Ming stood in front of the team and smiled.Seeing the commander of the artillery team in the distance, he waved the command flag violently and roared loudly, "Open the cannon!"
”"Boom, boom, boom" The gunner ignited the fuse, the cannon roared, the cannon body retreated sharply, and the shells weighing more than ten pounds roared and smashed into the city wall.With a few loud bangs, the cannonballs hit the slanted stone wall, and many of the cannonballs were directly bounced off the wall.Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "It is worthy of a fortress!"
”The Jurchen leaders on the side were not calm, and they talked about it, "It's over, the cannons can't take the castles of the Rakshasas, so they can only fill them with human lives." ”This made the leaders panic in their hearts, according to the convention, this person who filled in the top could only be them.After all, the siege suffered heavy casualties, and it was impossible for the Ming army to go up on its own at the beginning, so many leaders were busy moving their feet quietly, staying away from the regent, and avoiding their own generals.Zhao Ming looked at the careful thoughts of the leaders, but only smiled slightly, today the widow will let you know what a military power is and what is a responsible power.On the city wall, the commander of the Russian army was shocked when he saw that the enemy actually had heavy artillery, but he calmed down when he saw that most of the shells were bounced off by the anti-artillery wall.How could the backward and ignorant Tatars break through the fortress of the empire."
Boom, boom, boom" Smoke rose from the city, and the Russian artillery on the fortress launched a counterattack.With a "bang" sound, the shell landed a hundred paces away in front of the military formation, splashing a pillar of mud.It was difficult to transport huge heavy artillery from Moscow to the Far East, and the artillery in the Far East strongholds was cast on the spot by Tsarist Russia.Because the opponents were mainly backward Mongols and Jurchens, the caliber and weight of the Tsarist Russian artillery were inferior to the heavy artillery of the Ming army, and all the shells fell in front of the Ming army.At this time, Zhao Ming glanced at the landing point of the artillery in the city, and immediately waved his hand: "Let's start." ”The leaders of the Jurchen tribes saw the Ming soldiers carrying shovels and hoes, marched in unison, advanced to the bomb landing point, and then raised their hoes and shovels and began to attack the city.This made the leaders who were already ready to be named grit their teeth and rushed with their clansmen, and as soon as the Rakshasas in the city released their guns, they slipped backwards and felt a fog.On the city wall, Bakharov, seeing the Ming army far away from the city, began to dig the earth, and his heart was also puzzled.This way of digging trenches and attacking fortresses has only just appeared in the West, and Tsarist Russia, as a peripheral country, does not yet understand it.At this time, the Ming soldiers first dug a horizontal ditch along the firing range of the city's artillery, and then the soldiers jumped into the horizontal ditch, or dug the "Zhi" trench, and advanced towards the fortress.This kind of trench is not a straight line, the trench bends forward, so even if the shells fall into the trench, they will not hit a straight line, causing heavy casualties in the entire trench and minimizing the damage of the shelling.The Russian army on the city, when the Ming army dug a horizontal trench, did not care, and the artillery could not shoot, but when digging the "zigzag" trench and advancing to the city, the threat was immediately felt, and the artillery on the city began to shoot, but the Ming soldiers were under the ground, and the shelling basically did not cause casualties.At this time, the Jurchen leaders reacted that the Ming army was going to dig the trench under the city, so that the soldiers could avoid the artillery bombardment and directly enter the city.In fact, this matter was done when the Qing army attacked Ningyuan and Jinzhou, but they were not Jianzhou Jurchens, and many people only heard about it and did not really participate in the war that year."
The Lord Regent is so wise!"
The leader of the Sauron clan couldn't help but sigh.All the ministries understood that they didn't have to be cannon fodder, and they all praised the Ming army's fighting style.Zhao Ming was quite proud, and said condescendingly: "Remember, you need to use more ideas and wisdom to fight!"
”After speaking, Zhao Ming pulled his horse back to the camp, leaving the soldiers to continue the siege operation.Next, what the Ming soldiers did was to dig a trench, intending to dig the trench directly under the fortress, so that the soldiers could reach the city wall for attack.This digging is ten days, and there are only five days left before the half-month deadline Zhao Ming said, and the army has not yet begun to attack the city, how can it be possible to lay down the castle when it expires.At our invitation, the regent came to expel the Rakshasas for our Jurchens, and we should be grateful for the kindness of the regent, and we should not let the regent not come to power.Seeing that the Ming army was busy with all fours facing the sky, the Jurchen leaders couldn't stand it anymore.The regent cowhide was blown out, and the city was broken in half a month, and now there were only five days left, and the Ming army had not yet attacked the city, so the leaders discussed it and expressed their willingness to help the Ming army dig trenches, or directly attack the city.Zhao Ming shook his head and rejected the leader's kindness, and confidently said that they didn't have to worry about the siege of the city, and the Ming army guaranteed to break through the fortress of the Rakshasa people within half a month.Of course, if you are really idle and panicked, don't you want to go, aren't the Jurchens very good at shooting birds, you can have a hunting conference to improve the food for the soldiers of the Ming army.This gave the leaders a headache, and they were all worried about the Ming army's siege, but Zhao Ming spoke, and they could only watch the Ming army continue to dig trenches, and then ordered the clansmen to go hunting.The trench was excavated to the thirteenth day, several "zigzag" trenches have entered the city of Leng Fort, and the Ming army was about to dig a horizontal trench and connect the "zigzag" trench under the city, so that the soldiers could maneuver between the trenches, but the digging soldiers found the situation.At night, in front of the camp of the Ming army, the soldiers carried torches and formed a circle, in which hundreds of corpses were placed covered with white cloths.Zhao Ming wore a mask made of white cloth and stood in front of the corpse with a gloomy face.At this time, a group of Jurchen leaders hurriedly came and looked at the corpses in a daze.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "What the soldiers found when they dug into the city should be the Jurchens who were captured by Lao Maozi and repaired the fortress.After the fortress was repaired, it was all killed by Lao Maozi. ”Hearing this, Sasubu's body trembled, squatted down to uncover a piece of white cloth, and saw the decomposing corpse in Jurchen costume, and immediately knelt down.The Jurchens looked at the slaughtered clansmen, one by one, filled with righteous indignation, and the leader of the Sauron clan said with red eyes: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, let's attack the city." ”Realizing that his clan and wife might have been killed by the Rakshasas, Sasub cried bitterly, "Your Highness, let the minions attack the city!"
”"Your Highness, let the minions attack the city!"
The Jurchen head man was excited.()
