Daming: I help my wife be the empress

After listening to Luc Dehun's strategy, Azig thought for a while, then patted Luc Dehun's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Your boy is indeed the most proud grandson of Prince Li, this melon seed is just so easy to use." .”

Luckard's face was a little unnatural, because Azig was only about ten years older than him, but he was his grandpa.

Although he is as brave and good at fighting and strategizing as his father Sakhalian, he is the oldest grandson in the Jueluo clan...

Head of Yangwu city.

Holding the binoculars, Xu Yong couldn't help laughing when he saw that after a round of shelling, the Han soldiers and civilian husbands next to the Qinglu gun cart were either killed or injured or fled.

So he issued an order again: "Let the artillery teams fire another round of iron bullets at places where there are more Qing prisoners, and continue to hit their morale."

The soldiers took orders to leave.

About 1 minute later, Bright Cannon dismissed the second round.

I saw one after another iron bullets smashing into the formation of the Qing army with a terrifying whistling sound.

Although the Qing army tried to arrange a relatively loose formation and was psychologically prepared for the range of the Ming army's artillery, but when thirty or forty iron bullets smashed into the army formation and plowed out dozens of blood paths, some confusion and morale plummeted. .

In fact, the total number of Qing captives killed by these iron bullets was only a hundred or so, not many, but the scene it caused was too terrifying.

In front of the iron bullet, it doesn't matter how many layers of armor you wear, you will die if you touch it, and you will be disabled if you touch it.

It was as terrifying as encountering a killing order after being captured.

Although Xu Yong noticed that the Qing army was in chaos, he didn't have the idea of ​​going out to fight - the gap between the enemy and our troops was too great, and the Qing had many cavalry, but the border guards lacked cavalry.

He didn't let the artillery crew fire any more shells - now that Yangwu is besieged, he doesn't know when he will get support. Although there are a lot of military supplies in the city, they are limited and cannot be wasted.

Of course, if Qinglu was sending people to fiddle with those red cannons, he would also order the artillery crew to fire to kill Qinglu's gunners as much as possible.

But Qinglu didn't do that.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that more than 1 people came out of various army formations, and rushed towards Yangwu City carrying the trench bridge in a chaotic manner.

Xu Yong frowned.

He could see clearly with the binoculars that at first glance, those people were all dressed as civilian husbands, but some of them had knives in their hands, and their clothes were extraordinarily thick.

Xu Yong was also an old man, so he knew at a glance that there were Qing captives hiding among the civilian husbands in disguise.

One is to supervise the war and drive out the peasants to build trenches and bridges; the other is whether the guards will soften their hearts and accept the peasants into the city.

But if the defenders dared to open the city gates and let these peasants in, the Qing captives hiding inside would definitely rise up and try to snatch the city gates.

The other Qing captives will definitely send out cavalry at that time, rush to the gate of the city to support them, and break into the city in one fell swoop.

Therefore, when these civilians approached the Yangwu moat, Xu Yong ordered with a cold face: "Order everywhere to use tiger squatting cannons to fire iron bullets and flower bullets to prevent the Qing Dynasty from building the moat bridge."

Personal soldiers lead the way—although walkie-talkies are distributed to the battalion general level in the border defense army, it is more appropriate and safe to use personal soldiers to send orders when conducting specific commands on the battlefield.

The civilian husbands were all Han Chinese recruited by the Qing captives from Huaiqing, Weihui, Zhangde, and Daming Mansions. Although the situation in these four prefectures was a little better, the population was very small, so most of the civilian husbands were young and gray-haired. Old people and even women mixed in.

They were forced by the Qing captives to run to the moat of Yangwu City, and began to build trench bridges.

The Ming army at the head of the city received a military order, and hundreds of tiger squatting guns were fired one after another, and a death net composed of shotguns covered the peasants.

Although the main lethality of the shotgun fired by the tiger squatting cannon was within a hundred paces, Yangwu was only a county seat, and the moat was a large ditch several feet wide, only twenty or thirty paces away from the city wall.

Therefore, the other side of the moat is also within a hundred steps of the city wall.

What's more, the tiger squatting cannon can fight more than 200 steps at the farthest. At this time, it is condescending, and it turns the first [-] steps of the city wall into a dead zone.

The civilian husbands were not wearing armor, and their bodies were still thin. They were killed and injured by the shotguns.

Those who were still alive, someone ran back with their head covered, but was beheaded on the spot by the Qing prisoner who supervised the battle.

More living civilians jumped directly off the moat, wanting to cross to the other side in order to survive.

However, after Xu Yong was stationed at Yangwu, he strengthened his defense equipment in all aspects.One of them is to insert a lot of sharp wooden stakes and bamboo stakes in the moat.

The original intention was to prevent the Qing prisoners from wading across the moat, but now a group of civilians who entered the water first were killed and injured, and the moat was immediately dyed blood red, making the wailing below the city wall even louder and more miserable.

"General, help, we are also citizens of Daming."

"Help, who will save me?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, woo woo woo..."

Although almost all the frontier guards at the head of the city were veterans, but after becoming a frontier guard, life has become better, and some people's hearts have softened a bit, and they all showed a look of embarrassment when they saw this.

Xu Yong also felt a little unbearable in his heart, but his face was cold, and he seemed unmoved.

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart, fortunately there are no civil officials in this city to supervise the battle, otherwise I should be ordered to go out of the city to save people.

Why don't I want to save people?

It just can't be saved.

Some lucky and smart peasants hurriedly built the trench bridge, crossed the moat, and begged under the city.

"General, let us enter the city? We are all citizens of Daming."

"Master Zhixian, let me in, my cousin is Daming's Juren."

"Does the general want to watch us being killed by the Qing army? How can he be so cruel?"

"General..."

Hearing someone curse loudly below, Xu Yong's expression was still cold, and he ordered: "Call out, tell them to walk around the city, go to the east gate and west gate, so as not to be affected by the siege."

The soldiers took the order and immediately shouted with a loudspeaker.

Xu Yong did this not only to keep these civilians alive, but also to prevent his own soldiers from losing their morale due to such situations-how can a person be ruthless if he is not a plant?The soldiers are all living people, if he ordered to continue killing those civilians who crossed the moat, some soldiers' minds would definitely be disturbed.

Therefore, among the civilian husbands who crossed the river, there were more Qing captives in disguise, and he did not order the killing.

Slightly in front of the Qing army's formation, Oboi was riding a horse, and he was also holding a binoculars to watch the scene under the northern city wall.

Seeing that the Ming army first killed most of the civilians with shotguns, and then told the civilians crossing the river to avoid the main battlefield, the bearded man couldn't help trembling and said: "It's not easy for the Ming army to defend Yangwu City. I’m afraid it’s not going to be a good fight.”

Ye Bilong on the side said: "Since the Empress Zhaowu appeared, the Ming army has had no easy fight."

Because the siege war generally does not require the Manchuria of the Eight Banners to go, the generals of the Manchuria of the Eight Banners are relatively "leisure", and Suksaha is also nearby at this time.

Hearing this, he sneered and said: "Our army is ten times larger than the Yangwu Ming army, and we have dozens of cannons to help out, no matter how difficult it is to fight, we will definitely take care of Yangwu City.

Take this city first, and then defeat the remaining Ming army who crossed the Yellow River, and let the world know that our Eight Banners army is invincible! "

Aobai glanced at Suksaha, but didn't answer.

He didn't think so - the power of the Ming army's artillery had frightened him just now, so he felt that Yang Wu might not be able to win this time.

Therefore, if the siege tactics of Luckdhundi this time are no longer effective, he will go to persuade Azig to make other plans.

The Qing army did not have as many troops as the Ming army, so they should not be consumed in siege battles...
