1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 526 Dengzhou Flesh Mill ([-])
As night fell, the fighting under the Penglai County city gradually ceased. Whether it was the Qing army camp, or the main city of Penglai County and several castles, a large number of lanterns and torches were hung up to illuminate each other's positions.

After hearing the casualty statistics of the lieutenant general Ge Jie, Wang Guodong, the chief soldier of Linqing, remained silent for a while.In Linqing Town of more than 650 people, more than 860 people were killed and [-] people were injured. The casualty rate was as high as [-]%. It may be difficult to fight again.Binzhou Town, which then participated in the siege, estimated that the casualties would not be less than [-]%.Today's battle can be described as extremely tragic.You know, this attack is only a fortress in Penglai County.If this attack mode is followed, even if Penglai County is conquered in the end, how many people will be left of the [-]-odd army they came?
This Dengzhou is too difficult to fight!Also, where did they get so many firearms?
"My lord, will our army attack the city tomorrow?" Ge Jie asked softly.

"Haoge..., Prince Su said to hold off on attacking the city until the red cannons arrive." Wang Guodong shook his head and said, "Even if we attack the city again, we don't have to go forward and fight hard. This is Penglai County ... Alas, it's hard to say!"

"...My lord, do you think Prince Daming can accomplish anything?" Ge Jie hesitated for a moment and asked.

"...If he can resist the attack of the Qing Dynasty, maybe he can cause some disturbances....He should go to Nanjing."

"Great Qing, Shunni (Li Zicheng), Xini (Zhang Xianzhong), Daming, and this prince who lives in Dengzhou, in this world, who will be able to unify in the end?"

"...The chances of the Qing Dynasty may be a little bit more. The worst thing is the pattern of Jin, Song, North and South. In this world, who can tell!" Wang Guodong sighed: "However, as long as we have soldiers in our hands, we will always have a foothold place."

At dawn the next day, a representative from the garrison of Penglai County came to the camp of the Qing army. Hauge thought that the garrison in the city had taken pictures of the large-scale offensive of the Qing army yesterday, and was going to discuss surrender with the Qing army, so he was quite upset. Satisfied, he sat high in the big tent, looking at the representative of Penglai County with disdain.

"Prisoner change?" After hearing the request from the Penglai County representative, Hauge looked at him in astonishment.

"That's right, it's a prisoner exchange." The representative saw more than a dozen ferocious Jiannu generals in the big tent. Although he was nervous, he still pretended to be calm and said: "A few months ago, when I ascended the Lai Army in Ye County, Three days ago, I captured more than 5 people from your Eight Banners Han army and your servants under the city of Penglai. Now I plan to exchange them with you for our soldiers who were captured by your army in Castle No. [-] yesterday."

After Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but look to the left and right, feeling speechless in his heart.Changing prisoners, after decades of battles, I have never heard of the current Daqing or the former Dajin.And it has always been my Eight Banners warriors who captured the enemy's soldiers and horses. Apart from my own death, few people have ever been captured.

That is to say, in Ye County, stupid people such as Bahana and Shi Tingzhu were carelessly defeated by their opponents and captured hundreds of Eight Banners Han troops.What's even more annoying is that three days ago, Ke Yongsheng didn't even check the enemy's situation, and was "taken advantage of" by the enemy, allowing the opponent to "attack" suddenly, which made us suffer another defeat in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

"Yesterday, when the fortress was broken down, more than [-] people were captured, and all of them have been slaughtered." Seeing Hauge signal to him, Luo Luohun said loudly, "There are no prisoners in my camp to exchange with you. Go back and give them to us." The person in charge of the city has a message to sacrifice the city and surrender, if not, after the city is broken, carefully slaughter your whole city of Penglai!"

"You all killed our Daming officers and soldiers who were captured by you yesterday?" the representative of Penglai County hissed.

"Thousands of my Qing soldiers were lost, so what if we don't slaughter them?" Luo Luo said disapprovingly.

"...If that's the case, I'll take my leave." The Penglai County representative said sadly.

"You thief, do you think that my Daqing camp is where you come and leave whenever you want?" Hauge said coldly, "In order to bring a message to the city, I will let you go back as soon as possible. However, we still have to treat You wait for the traitor to warn you. Come, cut off his ears and beat him out with sticks?"

Geng Zhongming and other generals of the Eight Banners Han Army wanted to persuade the emissary not to treat the emissary so harshly for the sake of the more than two thousand captured Han soldiers, but Li Suitai shook his head slightly, signaling with his eyes. The words on the side swallowed back.

"Take all the more than [-] Jiannu captives to the top of the city!" Jiang Yongrui said sadly.

"What are you going to do?" Luo Shouzhang asked with a strange expression on his face.

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!" Jiang Yongrui said fiercely: "Attack my Daming territory, slaughter my captured officers and soldiers, humiliate my Denglai envoy, this beast! In this way, I will also slaughter all of them, thinking that I will build slave police !"

"All slaughtered?"

"You want to intercede for them?"

"It would be a pity to kill him." Luo Shouzhang didn't notice Jiang Yongrui's vicious gaze was watching him, and said to himself: "I heard that these Eight Banners Han troops have done a lot of evil things in Liaodong and the pass. Get us Hanzhou, go to the mine to do a coolie for a lifetime, maybe it can make their life worse than death."

"The big man wants to be kind and enmity, why bother so much." Jiang Yongrui breathed a sigh of relief, "Get them to the top of the city, chop them up with a knife, let Jiannu see, it's not that they will kill people!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yongrui strode out, holding the saber under his waist with his right hand.

"Boom!" There was a cannon sound, and a shell was shot from the head of Penglai County, hitting the front of Jiannu's camp, and Jiannu panicked.The artillery of the defenders in the city can actually hit the camp!

Then if they are stationed here, they will face the artillery bombardment of the defenders at the top of the city at any time.How can this shit make people set up camp, and they have to retreat!

"Prince Su, the defenders at the top of the city are beheading our Eight Banners Han army captives!" Just as Hauge heard the artillery attacking the camp and was standing in shock in the camp, Li Sitai hurried up to him with a serious expression on his face. Said.

"Huh?" Hauge was stunned when he heard the words, and then a burst of anger rose, "Is this Penglai County ready to fight against my Qing Dynasty to the end, and will not stop dying? Send someone to Laizhou Road to urge you to escort the cannon in red The Wu Zhenchao Ha Jia hurried over here. Once the city is conquered, no chicken or dog will be left behind!"

After hearing this, Li Shitai breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Hauge would not be able to stand the opponent's provocation, and would drive the surrendered army to attack the city again regardless of the consequences.In yesterday's battle, only a small fortress was conquered, more than [-] people were killed and injured, and morale dropped.Therefore, if you want to break through the city, you have to wait for the arrival of the red cannon before you can be sure.

In the afternoon of the seventh day of November (November 11), the Wuzhen Hachao Unit of the Great Qing Dynasty rushed to the Qing army camp in Penglai County with eight cannons in red. Set up the red cannons and start attacking the city.Strictly order all ministries to move forward bravely, and promise everyone that once the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed for five days.

In the early morning of the eighth day of November (November 11), with the sound of horns, countless soldiers poured out of the Qing army camp, and under the restraint of officers at all levels, they were arranged in strict military formations.Then, amidst the cheers of the Qing army, the eight red-clothed cannons were dragged by a dozen horses and moved forward slowly.

"Is Jiannu planning to start a cannon battle with us?" Luo Shouzhang asked in surprise after watching through a binoculars for a while.

"It seems..., probably so." Jiang Yongrui nodded and said.

"Aren't they... attacking my strengths with their own weaknesses!" Luo Shouzhang put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "If they follow the attack mode of the previous few days and drive away the desperate ants attacking the city, we may There will be some troubles. But Jiannu wants to play with us with cannons, so our gunners must teach them how to use cannons."

The artillery battle that started in the morning only lasted for less than half an hour before it ended hastily.

The red-clothed cannons fired one after another, and as several shells slammed into the city wall, leaving several very obvious bullet holes, the broken stones and bricks splattered, attracting constant cheers from the Qing soldiers watching the battle.But the 10-pound artillery erected on the nearly 8-meter-high fort immediately began to counterattack. After only two rounds, a few shells directly hit the artillery positions of the Qing army, killing and injuring five or six people on the spot.

The artillerymen of the Qing army obviously panicked. How could the artillery on the top of the city fire so accurately?However, under the strict order of the officer, he bit the bullet and continued to bombard the city wall.However, after several consecutive rounds of shelling at the top of the city, more and more shells flew towards the artillery positions of the Qing army, and the casualties of the gunners also increased. There were even three artillery shells that were directly hit by the shells, and the barrels rolled to the ground. , Instantly overwhelmed several Qing army gunners.

Haug was stunned, and then ordered the artillery to retreat.In my Qing dynasty, red-clothed cannons have always existed as sharp weapons in the army, and those skilled gunners are not easy to come by and are extremely precious.However, in less than half an hour, three cannons and more than a dozen gunners were lost. This consumption is too fast!

"Jiannu is quite clever. If we fight for a while, all their artillery can be thrown under the city." Luo Shouzhang said with a smile.

"In the future, if anyone does not have artillery in this battle, it will be impossible to fight!" Jiang Yongrui sighed.

"That's not necessarily the case." Luo Shouzhang said: "In the jungle, the artillery is much less effective and inconvenient to carry. However, in Shandong, it is very suitable."

"Your General Qi and General Niu should be activated at this time, right?" Jiang Yongrui seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to ask.

"Well, I also think it's time to start." Luo Shouzhang looked at the Qing army who was slowly retreating back to the camp in the distance, nodded and said: "The tens of thousands of them will consume a lot of money every day. And they It has been seven or eight days since I arrived in Penglai County, and I guess the supplies I brought are almost used up."

"Can we keep tens of thousands of them here?" Jiang Yongrui was eager to try.

"You have a lot of appetite!" Luo Shouzhang said with a smile, "It is estimated that there will be at most ten thousand people left. Jiannu's Eight Banners cavalry will definitely flee back, and most of the rest will escape everywhere. It is difficult for us to chase. "

"We defeated tens of thousands of slaves in the First World War. If we put it in the past, it can be called an unprecedented victory for our Ming Dynasty!" Jiang Yongrui's eyes glowed brightly.
