Chapter 616 Decisive Battle in Southern Henan ([-])

This time, Duoduo invested his capital, not only invested unprecedented military strength, but also paid great attention to the protection of soldiers.

Gao Yihuan is a formidable opponent. If he fights Gao Yihuan, even if he wins, the Qing army will suffer heavy losses.

In order to preserve the strength of the Qing army, even the surrendered army in Jiangbei prepared a large amount of equipment, and never exposed them to the Wei army's guns, bows and arrows on a large scale.

Liu Tichun is guarding the north of Xiangcheng. The moat under the city has been filled by Shang Kexi in the previous war, which provided a lot of convenience for the Qing army to attack.

With Duduo's order, the Qing army launched a three-sided siege of Xiangcheng. At the same time, Shang Kexi and Nikan, each leading 3 people, bypassed Xiangcheng and turned to the rear of Xiangcheng to attack two military fortresses.

Because there were 1 horses on each of the two wings before, holding the Wei army stragglers in the mountains on both sides, so Shang Kexi and Nikan were able to stick to the mountains and march towards the two military forts.

At this time, due to the distance, the north of Xiangcheng was the first to face the impact of the Qing army.

With the trumpet drum of the Qing army, there were nearly ten thousand Qing troops, armed with more than a dozen siege warplanes, ladders, and pushing shield carts, rushing towards Beicheng.

For the soldiers of the Qing army, the shield chariots were in front and the infantry was behind. The towering equipment in the queue was sandwiched between them, putting tremendous pressure on the soldiers.

Although Duoduo's main attack direction is the two military forts behind Xiangcheng, it does not mean that the attack on Xiangcheng is false.

In fact, in order to contain Gao Yihuan's troops in Xiangcheng, Duoduo launched a three-sided siege on Xiangcheng, which was also serious, not a feint.

To deal with Gao Yihuan, we must go all out.

At this time, Liu Tichun was staring at the city. The Qing army swarming like ants saw the siege towers that were level with the city getting closer. He immediately swung his sword and directed the artillery on the enemy tower to aim at these large equipment.

During the siege, this kind of large-scale equipment poses the greatest threat to the city wall. If they can't destroy it before they approach the city wall, once they get close to the city wall, it will be a huge threat, and the Qing army will continue to rush up the city wall.

At this time, on the enemy's platform, a big general's cannon weighing about [-] jin roared, a cloud of white smoke rose up, and the shells roared out, but in the end, they missed directly and landed next to an empty city tower, killing two people who bowed their heads. The forward Qing army overturned.

Without saying a word, the gunners re-cleared and reloaded. The wet brush was inserted into the muzzle, and the water vapor evaporated, making a sizzling sound.

The shells were loaded quickly, and a gunner was in charge of readjusting the gun position and began to aim, but a thick voice came from behind to remind him: "Look for the right shot, and if this gun misses, the Tartars will be on the top of the wall." !"

"Your mother, you are so noisy! Come and let it go!" The soldier operating the cannon, sweating on his forehead, cursed without turning his head.

Behind him, an officer was about to step forward to cut him, but Liu Tichun waved his hand and stopped the officer, signaling that it was okay.

With a sound of "boom", the gun body retreated, and thirty steps away, a siege tower suddenly "boomed", and sawdust exploded.

On the enemy's platform, the gunners of the Wei army burst into cheers. The gunner who was aiming, just turned around to celebrate with his comrades, when he saw Liu Tichun standing behind him, he was stunned.

At this time, the top of the siege tower exploded, and the shell smashed the top of the tower, engulfing the sawdust and several corpses and smashing down, killing several people immediately.

"The top of the tower is gone!" The Qing army who pushed the siege tower immediately drew out his saber, shouted, and rushed to the nearby equipment, pushing other equipment forward.

On the city, without the order of the generals, the firecrackers, bows and arrows, and cannons of the Wei army had already fired one after another, greeting the Qing army swarming towards the city wall, and the city was filled with gunpowder smoke.

The soldiers of the Qing army charged under a dense net composed of shells, arrows, and lead bullets. All kinds of equipment paralyzed on the road and dead bodies were everywhere along the way.

"Get out of the way!" It was Xu Dingguo, Jiangbei's descended army, who attacked the north of Xiangcheng. He personally commanded his subordinates, pushed the shield carts to the bottom of the city, and lined up to form a wooden wall.

There were only a few gaps left in the wooden wall, and a large number of Qing troops carried boarding ladders and siege equipment, passed through the gaps, went directly to the bottom of the city wall, and then erected ladders to climb up.

Behind the wooden wall made up of shield cars, the musketeers of the descending army lined up in three rows, raised their guns and fired towards the city. Amidst the sound of "bang bang bang", gunpowder smoke filled the city, instantly blurring people's sight.

The gunballs of the Qing army hit the top of the city with broken stones flying, suppressing the firepower at the top of the city, and the infantry of the Qing army who advanced under the city wall took the opportunity to erect ladders and climb towards the top of the city.

At this time, the raised enemy platform on the city wall played its role. The soldiers of the Wei army did not need to show their bodies at all. Shot from the muzzle, it climbed the back of the Qing army in the middle, and the soldiers of the Qing army immediately fell down the ladder screaming.

The Wei army shot and killed the Qing army climbing the city uninterruptedly on the shooting holes of the enemy tower, and the soldiers of the Qing army swarmed down like jujube trees with sticks.

"Continue to charge!" Xu Dingguo, seeing his subordinates on the ladder falling down and knocking down the soldiers below, the muscles on his face twitched, and he waved his knife to order.

Immediately behind the wooden wall made up of shield chariots, another Qing army rushed towards the city wall brandishing their sabers.At the foot of Xiangcheng, soldiers of the Qing army were scattered like ants.

At this time, behind the city wall, in the command post of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan and his generals surrounded the sand table, with the sound of firecrackers, cannons, and soldiers screaming from the city wall above their heads, as well as the screams of the Qing army outside the city. Voice.

At the command post, just at the steps to the city, you can see a team of medical officers wearing white armbands, carrying the wounded soldiers off the city wall on stretchers, and into the nearby courtyard, where they will be treated by doctors.

As the Qing army launched a general offensive, the fighting gradually became more intense, and the Wei army began to suffer casualties.

Li Laiheng pointed to the sand table and said: "Your Majesty, the Qing army besieged Xiangcheng from three sides, and there were 3 troops on each side, bypassing the city to attack the military fort behind. Looking at the flags, it seems that they are led by Shang Kexi and Nikan."

"Put the flag up!" Gao Yihuan frowned and ordered urgently.

Immediately, guards will plant a flag representing the strength of the Qing army on the sand table to reflect changes in the battlefield situation.

Shang Kexi and Nikan are Duduo's right-hand men, and they were actually sent to attack the military fort. Gao Yihuan immediately realized Duduo's intentions.

Gao Yihuan raised his head and looked at Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, you hit the spot. Guisun wants to pull out two military forts first!"

Li Dingguo looked a little serious, and unconsciously began to worry about Gao Yihuan, pointing to the two fortresses, "I feel that there is nothing to lose about these two military fortresses, once they are lost, Xiangcheng will be isolated, and the same as the South Bank The connection between them will also be severed by the Qing army."

Gao Yihuan nodded, straightened up, and ordered decisively, "Wu Shizhao is ordered to wait for the signal from the king. Once the south gate of Xiangcheng is opened and the cavalry come out, let him send troops across the river and attack the enemy soldiers attacking the fort with the lonely king from north to south."

Li Laiheng immediately clasped his fists, "I accept orders!"

At this time, in the main battle of the Qing army, Duoduo saw that the troops who attacked Xiangcheng suffered heavy losses. He saw with his own eyes that one after another the siege towers collapsed. Falling, the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally.

Wei Jun didn't dare to fight with him in the field. He was indeed a good fighter when he was a bastard.

During the siege battle, the huge casualties shocked many Qing generals, but Duoduo just had a gloomy face, gnashing his teeth: "Go on!"

Xiangcheng is the main force of the Wei army, if they are not restrained, Shang Kexi and Nikan will be harassed if they attack the military fort, so in order to successfully take the military fort, Duoduo can bear the casualties.

This fashion is gratifying. Nikan has led the troops and has already detoured to the rear of Xiangcheng.

The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, aimed at a military fort. The fort was not big and could only accommodate 3000 people at most, and the strength of the two of them was ten times that of the fort.

At this time, as the Qing army approached the fort, there was a roar on the fort, and white smoke billowed up. It was gratifying to see more than 20 shells hitting the ground, splashing clouds of mud on the ground.

Shang Kexi attacked the Wei army's military fort, knowing that he would be bombarded by artillery, his 3 horses did not form a dense formation, but spread out and advanced towards the military fort.

This fashion is gratifying to take a look at the flag floating on the military fort. There is a captain's flag with the word Zhao on it. It should be Wei general Zhao Mingchong. He is not the main general of the Wei army, but he is also a figure in the upper middle class.

Shang Kexi squinted his eyes, and reined in the horse's reins outside the range of the fort's artillery, but his soldiers pushed forward with their weapons in their arms.

At this time, several cannons "boomed" from the south of Xiangcheng, gunpowder smoke rose from the top of the city, and the shells fell into the infantry of the Qing army. The artillery from the military castle cooperated to bombard the approaching Qing army.

Almost at the same time, the Nikan army, which had detoured to the right, was also bombarded. Columns of mud rose up in the formation, and the soldiers howled miserably~
