Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

A group of peasants are busy at the gate of Xuzhou City, they are clearing the sand and stones blocking the gate.Behind the city gate, more than 800 heavily armed soldiers gathered together, and the prefect of Xuzhou, Peng Zhifu, led the leading figures in the city, and was mobilizing to the leader Li Shoubei: "Everyone!..."

Facing the pressure of the Qing army, the whole city of Xuzhou immediately became anxious.Fortunately, the Qing army attacked the city hastily. Seeing that the resistance in the city was tenacious, they temporarily withdrew their troops.

But there are tens of thousands of people, and there is no end to it, let alone the Qing army with 10,000+ troops.The soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City felt like they were small boats in the vast ocean, and if there was another storm, they would be submerged by the Qing army like a torrent.

Unexpectedly, in a desperate situation, they were looking forward to a support army, so the whole city of Xuzhou immediately burst into cheers, wanting to welcome the support army into the city and help the guards of Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou is no stranger to the neighboring Runing Army.They all knew that the Runing army was one of the most powerful troops in the Ming army, but the leader Wu Zongbing was a bit arrogant.So the Xuzhou government was a little wary of the Runing army, but in this critical period, let that wariness go to hell!Does the sky and the earth still have one's own destiny?

But what happened next broke the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City. The Ming army who came to help... didn't even enter the city. field battle.

This made the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou beat their chests and stamp their feet. Don't they... don't they know that the golden soldiers are invincible?And now there are [-] Qing troops outside the city!

What about the Ming army that came to help?Kankan only has more than 1.Even if they were strong and could fight the Qing soldiers one-on-one, the huge disadvantage in numbers was always irreparable. Wouldn't they be afraid of being crushed if they wanted to block the front of the mantis like a car?What a pity for such a strong army!

However, some people still have illusions.They hoped that this was just the vanguard of the reinforcements, and that Zongbing Wu's army would arrive shortly.However, the rest of the people did not dare to be so optimistic. Even if there was a main force, General Wu would have at most 10,000 to [-] soldiers. Facing the [-]+ Qing army, they would still be defeated like a mountain.

Sure enough, the Qing army's attack was overwhelming, but to the surprise of the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City, the Ming army that came to help resisted it.Even fought back repeatedly.

If there are experts present, they will know that this kind of counterattack is actually a kind of body language of the Runing Army.He just wanted to tell the Qing army: When you attack.I'll fight back anytime.It is to prevent the Qing army from devoting all its energy to the offensive.

This tells the Qing army: I not only defend well, but also attack.When the Qing army wants to ignore me and wants to attack Xuzhou City or bypass me, I will turn from defense to offense at any time. Let me show you some color!

In fact, this is a way for the Runing Army to keep the Qing Army in place.

But in the eyes of laymen in Xuzhou city.The counterattack of the Runing Army is commendable.They found that the army of Wu Zongbing in Runing not only knew how to defend, but also dared to attack the Qing army.It's so exciting to watch!How many years has it been since the Ming Dynasty did not have such troops who dared to attack the Qing army!

obviously.There are passionate people everywhere, and Xuzhou is no exception.Soon some hot-blooded men began to take the initiative to invite Ying. The reinforcements outside the city were fighting bloody battles, while the men inside the city were just watching from the sidelines.Fight against the Qing army together with reinforcements.

So today, more than 800 Xuzhou Death Squad who voluntarily signed up, under the leadership of Li Shoubei, are preparing to go out of the city for a fierce battle.In order to give them strength.Almost all the staff in Xuzhou city were mobilized, and they were all crowded at the gate of the city, wanting to send these warriors out of the city.

And when Zhifu Peng finished mobilizing, all the people who left the city drank Zhuangxing wine.Li Shoubei, the leader of the army, drank the wine in one gulp, then threw the big bowl on the ground, and shouted: "Pengcheng man!"

So the eight hundred warriors and the soldiers and civilians who sent them off also shouted:

"Pengcheng boy!"

"Pengcheng boy!"

……

The loud shouts came and went, resounding through the sky.

It was Zhifu Peng who reacted quickly, and he immediately made everyone quiet.Going out of the city is for a surprise attack. If there is too much movement and the Qing army outside the city finds out, then the effect of the surprise attack will not be achieved.

So under the concerted efforts of gestures and winks, the voice immediately became quieter, and suddenly reached the level of silence.As soon as this strange scene appeared, everyone also looked at each other, and suddenly found it very funny.And when someone uttered the first laugh, the laughter immediately spread, making the gate of the city full of laughter, and diluting the tragic atmosphere of the strong man gone forever.

……

However, the spies of the Qing army who were observing outside the city of Xuzhou did not pay much attention to this abnormality.On the one hand, these days, due to the prestige of the Qing army, no mouse in Xuzhou city dared to leave the city, so those Qing army spies had long lost their vigilance; on the other hand, during the battle between the Qing army and the Runing army, Xuzhou city also often shouted and cheered, so those Qing army spies were accustomed to abnormal noises in the city.

In addition, the artillery of the two armies was rumbling and the fierce battle was in full swing, and the attention of the Qing army spies was also attracted.

The second line of defense of the Runing Army is about [-] steps away from the first line.When the Qing army's scull cart advanced a hundred steps, the artillery arranged by the Runing Army on the second line of defense immediately showed its power.

The remaining two six-pounders and five three-pounders left in Guide Town are concentrated in the second line of defense. Facing the wall-like array of sculls, the gunners hardly need to aim. No matter how much you shoot, you can hit the bullet without missing a beat.

Especially those two six-pound cannons, the power of the shells can almost penetrate two or three rows of oar carts.The broken wood and cannonballs from the shattered scull cart door panels inflicted great damage on the Qing soldiers behind the scull cart, and immediately caused huge casualties to the Qing army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qing army immediately pushed up the artillery carts behind the first row of scull carts, and they also fired at the artillery of the Runing army.Since the Qing army's gun carts are equipped with Flang machine guns, the rate of fire is faster than that of the Runing army.

Of course, the artillery of the Runing Army aimed at the artillery vehicles that threatened them the most.Although the Qing army had a lot of artillery.The rate of fire is fast, but it is inconvenient to aim on a moving artillery vehicle, and there is a bunker in front of the artillery of the Runing Army, and the shooting target is small, so the two sides' shooting is evenly matched.
