The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 80
Wang Deren didn't expect to capture the top of the city at the cost of only four or five thousand miscellaneous soldiers. He secretly regretted that if he knew that the Ming army was so weak in fighting spirit, why should he waste time bombarding the shore and lead the army to attack Zaokou? It's time to spend time and wine in the city of Ganzhou.

But when he ran to the edge of the fortress, he felt something was wrong—the Ming army defending the city just now did not fight Guo Tiancai's men to the death, which means that the Ming army did not have many casualties, but at this time there was no one in the city. One shot and one arrow, the silence is scary.In addition, the Qing army who had just boarded the top of the city stood still and did not continue to attack the interior of the city.

A moment later, when he climbed up the city wall by himself along the ladder, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There is actually another layer in the fortress!It is located on a mound more than ten feet high, which is much higher than the outer city wall.

The distance between the inner and outer layers of the fortress is about six feet, and there is a trench filled with water in the middle.

Looking up at the top of the inner fortress, I saw a circle of stairs at a height of three feet. The recessed part of the stairs could not be seen clearly, but I thought there must be defenders holding firecrackers and crossbows inside.

In addition, he didn't fully see the structure of the fort until now. The six towers were actually built on the inner layer of the fort, looking down at him from a high position.

Thinking of the cannons on the tower, Wang Deren shuddered, and a terrible thought immediately appeared in his mind—the Ming soldiers didn't lose their fighting spirit and retreated just now, but lured him to approach on purpose!

When he turned his head and saw more and more Qing troops climbing up to the top of the city, but were blocked by the trench between the inner and outer layers and unable to move forward, he felt that this idea was probably right.

what to do !Wang Deren's heart quickly burst into flames. If he retreated now, so many people died in vain, and he would definitely be chased and beaten by the Ming army. If he came back and forth, he might lose half of the troops.

He looked at the nearest tower. Due to its prismatic shape, there was a narrow angle at the junction of the tower and the wall. Based on his years of experience in siege, the firepower that could reach there on the entire fortress was certain. limited.

Since thousands of people have died to stand on the top of this city, why not give it another go, as long as you take down this fortress, you will get half of Ganzhou!I don't believe that the thousands of Ming troops in this city can defeat more than 2 people like me in a short time. As long as they climb up this inner wall, with the morale of the Ming army, they will surely disperse and flee in all directions.

After Wang Deren finished reading, he immediately ordered Guo Tiancai to lead people to move the sand and light ladders to the outer wall, and ordered all the soldiers to fill up a trench with sand, then gather under the tower, build a light ladder, and climb up the inner wall from the corner of the tower. wall.

Soldiers kept reporting the movement of the Qing army to Zhao Yinxuan's general camp. When Chen Yi heard that the Qing army was densely packed on the outer wall and began to move sand and other objects, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Zhao, this is the right time to attack the bandits!"

Zhao Yinxuan nodded, and turned to order his subordinates, "Command the whole army, wait for the sound of the cannon, and all the soldiers will attack the captives at the same time, don't tell anyone to run away!"

"Follow the order!"

Tens of thousands of people were really capable of throwing whips across the river. In just a moment, the trench between the inner and outer walls was filled by [-] Qing troops with a place to stand.

Wang Deren was about to order the light ladder to be erected when he heard a cannon shot above his head.A Weiyuan cannon on the tower ejected a large amount of shotguns, gravel, rotten iron and the like into the gathered Qing army, and dozens of people fell to the ground crying in an instant.

With the sound of cannons, various defensive weapons immediately appeared on the inner wall of the Ming army's fortress.At the "step" on the top floor is a dense row of birdcracks and crossbows, which are fired neatly downward.

There was constant artillery fire on the several towers. Due to the short distance, these artillery pieces were all fired with shotguns, and a single shot could knock down a large area.

And every protrusion or depression on the inner wall of the bastion was not randomly designed, and there were firepower points arranged inside.A large number of cheap tiger squatting guns are everywhere on the inner wall. As the trumpet sounded, sixty or seventy tiger squatting gun barrels protruded from the wall immediately.

Although the range of this gun is extremely short, it is very useful for attacking enemy troops next to the wall.With the same use of shotguns, it is not impossible to shoot down several bandit soldiers with one shot. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to shoot more than ten soldiers with one shot.

Chen Yi took the blueprint of the bastion given to him by Zhu Linmi over the past month and studied it repeatedly. After many attempts, he finally arranged the firepower configuration on the bastion.

The combination of bird guns and tiger squat guns has sufficient firepower coverage regardless of distance, and forms crossfire as much as possible.Supplemented by bows and crossbows, the entire inside and outside of the bastion was completely covered by a large net composed of lead bullets, shells, and arrows.

The so-called "blind spot for shooting" that Wang Deren had chosen at first turned out to be a "blind spot". The wall of the bastion was exquisitely designed to be concave inward, and the firepower points on the wall could hit here, so there were a lot of firepower in an instant. Scattered shells from the artillery covered this place.

Due to Wang Deren's order, the Qing army was densely packed here, and there was no way to hide under the crowd. In an instant, a thick layer of corpses was piled up next to the tower, and the trench between the inner and outer walls was immediately filled with corpses. Flat land.

The terrible artillery fire caused the Qing army to retreat. Countless people screamed and scrambled for the light ladder, but they did not want to attack the city on the inner wall, but climbed out of the bastion on the outer wall.

But tens of thousands of people are crowded in the narrow area between the inner and outer walls, and they can't get out in a short while.Not long after, the Qing army began to kill each other for the light ladder.

On the other hand, the people who were still standing on the outer wall and didn't have time to go down shouted luck at this time, and fled down the city along the ladder outside the wall.

All around Wang Deren, pieces of rubble and iron from cannons kept falling down. His personal soldiers desperately chopped down dozens of Qing soldiers, grabbed a light ladder for the master, and sent him up.

Wang Deren saw that he was only two steps away from climbing the outer wall, when suddenly the light ladder was hit by the artillery fire of the Ming army and snapped in the middle.

Suddenly, his feet were empty, and he fell heavily under the corner of the wall. A large number of people who were scrambling to climb out of the outer wall were all looking up, and there were dead bodies under their feet. No one cared about anything more.

Wang Deren's Qing soldiers desperately searched for him, but they couldn't find his shadow among the crowd.In just a moment, this generation of scum who once led bandits to harm most of Ming Dynasty, followed Li Zicheng into Beijing, surrendered to Ming Dynasty first, and finally surrendered to Jianlu, was trampled into scum by his soldiers. .

Without Wang Deren's unified order, the Qing army suddenly became even more chaotic.After finding that there was no hope of escape, some people began to choose to kneel and surrender.

The surrender quickly became contagious, and eventually no one continued to resist or try to escape the wall, and all the Qing troops knelt on top of the corpses, wailing and begging for surrender.
