Chapter 289 What to explain to Huang Taiji "Boom ......" more than a dozen 105mm field cannons aimed at the south gate of Hongshankou City, there is no possibility for field artillery in this era to deal with the masonry city wall, and it should not be a problem to penetrate a solid wooden city gate.Sure enough, more than a dozen shells hit the South Gate City, which was more than a foot thick and wrapped in iron sheets, and was instantly smashed into pieces.The whole family army went on the offensive, and the killing shouts shook the sky.The time of the artillery attack was launched at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the only troops mobilized by Quan Xu were musketeers and artillerymen, and most of the old soldiers of the whole family army, mainly the soldiers of the whole family army from Shanxi, were also malnourished and had night blindness.The defender of Hongshankou City was Jin Youguang, the former Ming army Panjiakou garrison, and after he was persuaded to surrender by Mang Gurtai, he led more than 2,000 defenders of Panjiakou to surrender to Houjin.Huang Taiji promoted Jin Youguang and Houjin Deputy General, commanded Hanerzhuang to surrender more than 1,500 troops, and cooperated with the preparation to capture Qinai to defend Hongshankou City.When Jin Youguang first saw more than 3,000 people of the Ming army attacking, he was still a little nervous at first, but when he saw that Quan Xu took the initiative to retreat and set up camp at a position of more than 500 steps south of Chengguan, he was secretly on guard.As a result, in the Ming Dynasty, Jin Youguang did not fire an arrow, surrendered to Houjin, but under the banner of Houjin, he became extremely brave, as the city gate was breached, Jin Youguang rode a horse and led more than 300 horsemen from the city to kill.Looking at more than 300 riders, Quan Xu took the walkie-talkie and told Liu Quan: "Liu Quan, you give me a little leisure, don't fight too hard, don't scare these Tartars back, if they avoid the door and don't fight, we will still be in trouble!"
”"Yes!""
Boom!"
The artillery of the whole family army took three artillery pieces as a group, and the three shells smashed together into the Hongshankou City Gate Hole.Now the cannonballs jumped along the hole in the city gate, and a bloody road appeared in the street of the city gate.Although the artillery of the whole family army did not fire very frequently and the shells were not dense, the problem was that it was only aimed at a gate hole that could notify two carriages for free.Through the reconnaissance of the drone, Quan Xu has learned that in the valley north of Hongshankou City, a large amount of grain and grass and prisoners have been temporarily piled up.According to rough estimates, there are at least tens of thousands of stones of grain, as well as hundreds of thousands of stones of forage, which have become the shelters of the captive people.This passage, which was originally passed, was blocked by the Houjin cavalry at the North Mountain Pass, forming a simple fence wall, and more than tens of thousands of captives were placed in this valley.Jin Youguang is a garrison of the Ming army, and he knows artillery very well, and he also knows that artillery can only exert its greatest power in a specific environment, and if it is in the plains and fields, the power can only be said to be average."
Quick, quick, rush up, rush up!"
Jin Youguang commanded his troops to rush towards the artillery position of the whole family army with more than 300 cavalry in front and more than 1,200 infantry in the rear.In his opinion, as long as they survived this wave of artillery bombardment, and when the cavalry rushed to the artillery position, those Ming artillery would be at their disposal to slaughter and slash them.However, Jin Youguang didn't know that Quan Xu was just playing around with him, deliberately slowing down the frequency of artillery bombardment, giving Jin Youguang an illusion, he only needed to tighten it up, he could rush to the front of the Ming artillery array, wield his sword, and reap the fruits of victory.I have to say that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is too skinny.More than 300 horsemen even if they broke through the artillery of the whole army?
Just say, teenager, you're too young.The shells in a group of three did not seem to shoot fast, but unfortunately, his more than 300 cavalry had no chance to rush to the front of the whole army.Seeing that the cavalry under Jin Youguang was about to rush to the front of the artillery array, at this time, Quan Xu did not let the firecrackers shoot, but ordered the infantry regiment to step forward with a broken saber and tear it apart.The three musketeers deliberately pretended to be panicked and ran around, screaming, and in a fierce slaughter, the 300-odd cavalry did not gradually disappear until a quarter of an hour.In fact, in just one shot, these cavalrymen ran into the spear formation of the whole family army, and it was also an undefended pike formation, which was inserted into the ground with spears, watered, and frozen with the ground.The turmoil in the rear camp was only played for the Hongshankou guards, anyway, five or six hundred steps away, and it was night, and it was impossible for Jin Youguang to see it.However, this gave Jin Youguang great confidence, making him think that if he strengthened one step and had more cavalry, the whole family army would collapse.If it weren't for the people of Hongshankou City, Quan Xu wouldn't need to use a plan at all, which was also a helpless move.Although in just a quarter of an hour, more than 300 cavalry under Jin Youguang's command were killed and wounded, Jin Youguang was not discouraged, when he was preparing to fight again, Niu Lu really caught Qi Nai and said with disdain: "Your people can't do it, let me teach them how to ride and shoot!"
”So, he led the 300 Houjin cavalry under his command to attack the city.However, at this time, Hongshankou City has begun to be chaotic, and Quan Xu doesn't know what's going on, so it can be guessed that it should be the captured people, seeing that the Ming army is coming to attack Hongshankou City, and taking the opportunity to create chaos.However, he no longer plans to play with Jin Youguang."
Liu Quan, let go of the fight!"
When the Houjin cavalry led by Capture Qinai attacked, the artillery fire suddenly became fierce, and the artillery of the whole family army was no longer kept, and ninety-six guns fired three rounds of rapid fire, and 288 shells smashed through.Outside the Hongshankou City, there were only a few lonely war horses left, and the Houjin cavalry who had personally experienced the baptism of cannonballs, even if they did not die, did not have any intention of fighting.The cavalry who can run back is already a strong-minded person, and there are not a few cavalrymen who have been frightened by cannonballs with all their strength, and under the urging of the desire to survive, they crawl in the direction of the city gate cave in horror.With the continuous bombardment of shells, in just a quarter of an hour, the shells of the whole family army smashed into the hole in the city wall like they did not want money, and there was hardly a single intact person along the street.Until a solid cannonball hit Jin Youguang and cut him directly in the waist, the blood sprayed wildly in the cold winter air with a faint white smoke, the upper body didn't know where it went, and the lower body still rode on a war horse and rushed to the artillery position of the whole family army.With the death of the Houjin cavalry, Jin Youguang was killed, and the remaining Ming troops surrendered directly, and the battle from the beginning to the end took only a quarter of an hour and two pillars of incense, and it took only twenty minutes in total.At this time, Fan Wencheng had not yet had time to send reinforcements to Hongshankou City.After the battle, the whole family army entered the Hongshan Pass, and after a short time, more than a dozen soldiers led more than a dozen blood-drenched young men to Quan Xu."
Meet the General!""
You are!""
Down here is Zhang Anshi, a native of Qianxi!""
Well done!"
Quan Xu followed the guards into Hongshankou City, he walked, as if he thought of something, looked at Chen Yongshun beside him and said, "Chen Yongshun!"
”"Inferior!""
Today, we have rescued at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, you are responsible for reorganizing these people, first ask them if they have family members and relatives, if they can still be found, let them be temporarily listed as one household and ten households, or ten people as one Jia, ten Jiajia for one guarantee, and ten Baobao for one town for grouping!"
Quan Xu said: "After the grouping, let them immediately boil porridge and give the people something to eat, during this time, they also suffered a lot!"
”"Yes!"
Cleaning the battlefield and counting the belongings are the most important things for Quan Xu, Quan Xu entered Hongshankou City and looked at the people who were injured and skinny.These people honestly knelt on both sides of the street.was angry and indisputable, but now he can't say anything."
Quan Xu, the forward general of the Tianxiong Army, folks, you have suffered, and now you are safe.Now there are Jiannu cavalry everywhere outside the city, you can't escape even if you go out of the city, and now you will be reorganized to facilitate management, please cooperate!
”The reorganization work was handed over to Chen Yongshun, and the other ministries, under the leadership of the people, searched for the fish that slipped through the net, and of course, Quan Xu focused on going to the General's Mansion in Hongshankou.This general's mansion, which covers an area of more than 10 acres, is full of belongings in various rooms, mottled blood stains on many jewelry, a large number of silk, cloth, silver, gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and so on.Sanniang smiled excitedly: "Xianggong, we have made a fortune, there is a lot of money here!"
”Quan Xu followed Sanniang in, only to find that there were at least tens of thousands of copper coins inside, however, Quan Xu did not need to be checked, and he would investigate slowly in the future, and he would directly carry these seized property to the next generation.Fortunately, Quan Xu has this ability, otherwise his troops of 3,000 people would have turned into a transport team, two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, all kinds of porcelain, bronze, and a large number of jewelry, these things would not have been able to fit without thousands of carts.Quan Xu worked very hard, ran back and forth several times, and was half tired to death, so he transported the things to the next generation.…… Fan Wencheng's eyelids jumped in Zunhua City, and at this moment, a rush of footsteps came: "Mr.
Fan, something is wrong!"
”"What's going on?"
Fan Wencheng never thought that Hongshankou City would change hands, and it was so fast, you must know that Hongshankou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it weren't for the Hongshankou defenders being taken by General Wang Zunchen to support Daankou, it would be very difficult for Houjin to take Hongshankou.As long as Jin Youguang avoided the battle and let the Ming army be tens of thousands, it would not be useful at all, and the entire Hongshankou City was only more than 400 steps wide, and there were at most three or four hundred people on the front, in a bad sentence.The generals of the Ming army could not even organize an offensive of 500 men and horses, and there was only one result if they continued to fight like this.This is a secret letter from a carrier pigeon, Hongshankou City changed hands, Jin Youguang died in battle ten words, Fan Wencheng felt that the world was spinning: "This is impossible!"
”A night attack, only half an hour before and after, and lost Hongshankou, could it be that this Tianxiong soldier is a heavenly soldier and a general?"
Jin Youguang misunderstood me!"
Fan Wencheng was in a state of confusion, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, staying in Zunhua, but there was such a big mistake, what did he explain to Huang Taiji?
