Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 173: Offense and defense (12)

The battle has already heated up, and the battle of Shang's own soldiers made the Qing army as excited as drinking chicken blood. In several areas, the casualties of the Taiping army in the city passed the Qing soldiers in the city for the first time. Many of them were not He was shot to death by an arrow, but was hacked to death by the soldiers of the family who climbed up. 『≤

On the battlefield, personal martial arts cannot determine the outcome, but it can determine the survival or death of an individual. In terms of ability, the Taiping Army, which has only been established for a few months, is far behind. In terms of bravery, I am afraid that apart from Ge Zheng, Ge Yi, Bald Jiang He and other officers who were born bandits, they can be compared, and the rest are far behind.

When the soldiers of the local family climbed the city, it was different from the chaos of the green camp. After they climbed the ladder, they did not rush to climb up, but held the ladder tightly. At the same time, they looked up to observe the situation of the crenels on the city. He quickly avoided it, and then took advantage of the pause between the Taiping army above and climbed the ladder in a flying manner, killing the Taiping army after approaching.

Several of the crenels were climbed by their own soldiers. These flag soldiers wearing heavy armor relied on a suit of armor and relied on the city wall to resist the attack of the Taiping army while supporting their companions below to go to the city. Often more than two soldiers of the own family came up. The Taiping army in front of them couldn't drive them down even if there were five or six people. Fortunately, the overall number of soldiers who entered the city was still weak. Although they occupied several crenels, they were unable to expand their territory due to the subsequent attack of the reinforcements from the Taiping Army. One of them was even killed. The red-eyed Ge Yi led someone to grab it back.

Ge Yi's right little finger was cut off by a knife during the previous Green Camp siege. He didn't even bother to bandage it before throwing himself into a new round of fighting. Like his elder brother, Ge Yi could never get rid of rude swear words. Slashing with knives, while constantly greeting the female relatives of the Qing soldiers on the opposite side, the reproductive organs in the words are even more non-stop, so pompous. It made the soldiers of the prison camp beside him greatly relieved, and they were all as fierce and difficult as Ge Yi.

The so-called soldiers are bristling, and the generals are bristling.

The bandit background of the Ge brothers had always been a hurdle that Zhou Shixiang couldn't get around. It seems that these two bandit brothers can make him feel at ease, so that he doesn't have to worry about someone suddenly leaving him and running away while burying his head in the **** battle.

Since ancient times, every time a dog is slaughtered!

With the Ge brothers here, this city cannot be lost!

.........

Zhang Erjiang, a hundred households in the guard camp, led people to block several gaps opened by the soldiers of his own family in time, and more than one hundred fire gunmen occupied the place under the leadership of the officers. He kept shooting the fire guns at the Qing soldiers on the ladder below.

The cannons that had been misfired sounded again, and the Hongyi Cannons bombarded the Qing troops who were constantly charging up from several miles away, so that the Qing troops who had received reinforcements could not get close in time.

Shang Kexi, who was watching the battle from a distance, was very afraid of and annoyed at the Hongyi Cannon on the city. He pressed his own soldiers at all costs in order to solve the battle as soon as possible and regain control of the Xinhui, but half of the time had passed. In an hour, in addition to the pile of nearly a thousand corpses. Xinhui City remained firmly in the hands of the Taiping Army.

Shang Zhixin took people around the city to look around and came back and suggested that his father should immediately send troops to attack the other three city gates at the same time. This proposal was approved by Ban Zhifu. The situation is obvious. Although the Taiping army in the city was not strong enough, it could get reinforcements from the other three defenders in time, while the Qing army could only attack the east gate section by force, as long as the Taiping army had fresh troops to supplement it. This city wall will not be able to be taken down for a while, and looking at the casualties under the city, I really want to completely take over Xinhui City. I am afraid that the Qing army will have to pay thousands of casualties.

The casualties of thousands of people were absolutely unacceptable for the Qing army in Guangdong, and even more unacceptable to Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan. Shang Zhixin and Ban Zhifu's proposal was very reasonable. The Taiping Army cares about one thing and the other. There is an old saying that fortification everywhere means no defense everywhere. The Taiping Army cannot sustain it with this strength, and it will consume them to death!

When Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops came to surround the Xinhui last year, the Qing army in the city was twice as strong as the current Taiping army, with nearly 6,000 troops, and there were reinforcements from Guangzhou outside. retreat. If there is no reinforcements from Guangzhou, it is really hard to say where the new club will belong.

The current Taiping army is not Li Dingguo. He has no reinforcements outside. Shang Ke is happy that he ordered all the prefectures to send military intelligence reports, especially Zhaoqing's military reports. Signs of mass activity. Xu Erxian explained it in more detail. After he claimed to be guarding Tang Sanshui and captured Luoding, the Ming army of Gaozhou in the west seemed to be indifferent to it. Although I don't understand why Gaozhou Mingjun didn't respond to Luo Ding's "gain and loss", this information gave Shang Kexi a reassurance.

Frankly speaking, if there are still people in this world who can make King Pingnan and his old man fear, then there is probably no one else except Li Dingguo. Even the emperor of the Forbidden City, his old man only respects rather than fears. If the Taiping Army were not alone, if Li Dingguo took advantage of the situation, Shang Kexi decided that he would not take a step out of Guangzhou. He would definitely be a tortoise, and then report to Beijing every day for eight hundred miles urgently, requesting the soldiers of Manchuria to rescue him.

The reality is that the Taiping Army is just a new army that suddenly emerged, and it is a lone army, and Li Dingguo's tiger is still dozing in Guangxi. His old man will not move lightly from Guangzhou. When Li Dingguo came last year, the imperial court failed to let King Pingnan leave Guangzhou city even after several imperial decrees. Instead, he kept complaining to the imperial court until the Manchu-Han army led by the Jingnan general Zhu Mala arrived, and the old man became interested. Vigorous to unravel the siege of Xinhui.

If this king has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, the King of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, naturally cannot tell. He did not take the advice of his son and his cronies and insisted on attacking the east gate. For this reason, he ordered the rest of the camp. He also joined the battlefield, preparing to overthrow the Taiping army in the city with the advantage of numbers.

King Pingnan also has no choice. The battle has been fought so far, and so many people have died. He is also difficult to ride a tiger. Although attacking from all sides can disperse the forces of the Taiping army, why not divide his troops of King Pingnan? If the division can break the city That's all. What if it doesn't break? Do you want that white-faced child in Guangzhou to joke that this king can't even win a small new club!

I can't beat Li Dingguo, huh, I can't beat a bandit!

Dui, I don't believe this little Taiping army can stop this king's footsteps!

Shang Kexi gritted his teeth and moved his troops again, he was cruel, and he had to win the new club no matter what!

..........

The eastern city wall of Xinhui is full of ladders, and the ladders are full of people. This is really an ant attacking the city. If the ants attacking the city want to break the city, the key is the disparity of troops. Only the troops of the attacking city can make the defenders breathless. This city can be won. The follow-up troops of the Qing army were constantly mobilized, but the cannons of the Taiping Army in the city prevented the follow-up troops and horses of the Qing army from rushing to the city at the first time, thus causing the local troops who almost broke the city several times to lose their success. Repeated actions, repeated attacks, in exchange for the sea of ​​corpses that had piled higher and higher under the city.

"Boom", "Boom"...

More than a dozen gunshots sounded like muffled thunder, and the city bricks seemed to be shaking. The gunners who were captured by the Han army flag on the side were covering their ears, and the muffled thunder made them panic.

The sound of the artillery did not make the reinforcements of the Qing army retreat. It didn't make the Qing soldiers who were climbing the city terrified. The wealth and women in the city were tempting them like devils, or they had already killed them. Whether it is a Han army flag soldier or a green battalion soldier. At this moment, there is only one thought - take Xinhui City and kill everyone!

The main force of the Qing army's green battalion in Guangdong was actually the former Ming army, and a small number were the masters who were forced to pull after the Qing army occupied Guangdong. These original Ming army and Han people did not fight against the aliens. However, under the oppression of their swords, they became a part of the Qing army, and acted as the vanguard and cannon fodder in countless battles, often ending in one battle. The ones who died the most were these battalions who fought the green flag, but as long as they could get their lives back, what else would they be dissatisfied with? Could their necks be stronger than the swords of the Manchurian soldiers? !

Just as the Eight Banners of Manchu did to the Eight Banners of Han and Eight Banners of Mongolia, Shang Kexi was also kind and mighty to the descendants of the Ming Dynasty recruited after they went south. As long as they were willing to give their lives, he would give them a lot of rewards. It is not what King Pingnan paid for himself, but the things of the southerners themselves. As for the massacre of the city, it is even more commonplace. Shang Kexi himself does not know how many times he has ordered the massacre of the city and how many slaughtered in his eyes. There is no difference between the animals and the southerners, although these southerners were his compatriots and the objects of his defense.

Once a general is successful, his bones will be dead, and the cannon fodder will die a lot. Naturally, some people will benefit from it. Many of the original Ming army officers became generals in the green battalion, and they became the core of the Guangdong green battalion. With the help of the accomplices of foreign races in oppressing compatriots, Manchuria, with a population of only 100,000, occupied the Han family. These green battalion generals do their best for glory and wealth, while the bottom battalion soldiers work hard to stay alive, and the reward for them is the massacre after the victory.

Like the Eight Banners, which are divided into three levels: Full, Mongolian, and Han, there are also divisions within the Green Camp. The Green Camp stationed in Guangzhou is the main force of the Guangdong Green Camp. People, the most obvious difference is that the quality of the soldiers of the Guangzhou green battalion is stronger than that of the green battalions under the jurisdiction of the prefectures, and the combat effectiveness is much higher. Therefore, when the green battalion is out in battle, the first-class people always have to bully the second-class people, and now they are at the forefront. It is the garrison green camps in the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture.

In this new expedition, the green battalions of the counties were emptied, and they were all under the command of Lin Shanzhi, the general soldier of the Guangzhou Green Battalion. In the previous siege battle, the green battalions of the counties were basically used as cannon fodder by Lin Shanzhi~www.wuxiahere.com ~ The losses were heavy. When more than 2,000 people retreated, only half of them were left. The garrisoned green battalions in several counties were crippled and could not be dispatched at all. Therefore, during the second siege of the city, Lin Shanzhi did not dispatch these battalions that had already been crippled. Siege of the city, but these county garrison battalions were not fortunate enough to receive the order to attack the city.

When rushing through the firing point of the artillery in the city, the garrison battalion was shocked. Many battalions who had recovered their lives from the previous siege of the city threw their lives on the blood-filled land again. Some battalions were scared. He had to stay there, but he quickly reacted, ignoring the companions who were killed by the cannonball, and rushed towards the city wall with red eyes and screaming.

The power of the Hongyi Cannon is really not comparable to ordinary cannons. The Qing soldiers who were hit by the cannonballs had their bones broken, their brains overflowed, and their blood was blurred. Those red cannons shot down at the Qing army from a high place. The cannonballs fell with great momentum, and they bounced up as soon as they landed. Large solid iron **** weighing dozens of kilograms shuttled through the Qing army. Whether your hand or leg was rubbed by the iron ball, it was always smashed directly. The blood couldn't stop pouring out. The injury was Hua Tuo's reincarnation, and it was difficult to save it.

I don’t know how many soldiers of the Green Battalion garrisoned in the counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, let alone how many Green Battalions in Guangzhou died. There are as many as 100 corpses of the soldiers on the piles of corpses under the city wall. Up to now, both sides are red-eyed, and there is no room for anyone to retreat, only roaring roars.
