The siege gradually entered a fever pitch. Ten thousand Mongolians and five thousand bannermen were besieged on all sides.
This small town can only accommodate so many people. More than 200,000 people could only watch.
The ladder was put up on the top of the city. At this time, the artillery fire below could no longer continue to bombard. Because you will hit your own people. Therefore, the city has completely entered into a cold weapon fight.
These men climbed from the ladder to the end, holding a shield in one hand to block the spears and arrows of the opponent. Holding a knife in one hand, he slashed at the sloping ice surface, trying to carve out a place to stay from the slope of more than one meter.
Because the water pours down from the crenel, it will inevitably form a slope more than one meter thick. This sloping ice surface greatly hindered the Qing soldiers from climbing from the ice surface to the crenel. Because it's so slippery, as soon as you step off the ladder, you'll fall straight down without even stepping on it twice. These leading soldiers who climbed onto the city were all wearing heavy armor, and their bones and tendons were broken immediately after falling.
The defenders stabbed with spears in front, and the three-eyed muskets in the back were loaded and stretched out to the front, and then there was a burst of fireworks. The shield can block the slashing of spears and sabers, and can block the bow and arrow. But it can't stop the fire door gun within two or three meters.
At this distance, the fire door gun is very useful. Accurate and powerful. The density of firepower of three salvos is enough to beat the person in front of him into a sieve. Although the distance is only more than one meter, I can't climb over.
It was not until dark that the Qing army retreated after throwing down more than a thousand corpses. The Qing soldiers in the trench were pulled up a lot by their companions with spears, but many of them were injured and there was nothing they could do.
The next morning, all these injuries were frozen into ice sculptures.
Huang Taiji didn't expect that this small town would slap him. Daishan and Amin had strange expressions. Seems to be laughing at him. This made him very unhappy.
The next day, Huang Taiji did not continue the attack. Instead, notices were issued.
Huang Taiji ordered all armies to kill only the Ming army that resisted, but not the surrendered soldiers and civilians. For the soldiers and civilians who surrendered to Hou Jin, their families should not be scattered, their women should not be taken by force, and their clothes should not be robbed.
Their houses and temples must not be destroyed, their property must not be destroyed, and their fruit trees must not be cut down. If anyone disobeys the order to kill, surrender or plunder, he will be punished by whipping.
In addition, do not eat the cooked food and wine of the Ming Dynasty people at will. I heard that the Ming Dynasty people would use poison.
Each team must balance material reserves and horse feeding. When the army is on the road, thin horses must be fed with food, and fat horses must be fed with fodder.
When the army is resting, the team can collect food to feed the fat horses. When collecting supplies, they must form a team and cannot act alone. Officers at all levels must strictly monitor them.
Huang Taiji ordered that every time the march reaches a place from now on, notices to calm the people must be posted. As long as Kaicheng surrenders, he will definitely receive preferential treatment. Anyone who resists will be put to death.
Two White Flags Camp, Dorgon and the three brothers Duduo and Azige. Sitting on the felt, warming up around the fire pit, he watched the latest orders issued by Huang Taiji.
"Isn't this a fucking lie? Can those Han people believe it? We won't rob them of their money, supplies and women. Why are we here?" Duduo curled his lips and said.
"Today, two yellow flags went out to fight, and more than a thousand people died, and more than 400 Mongolians died. Bago was in great disgrace this time. He sent two yellow flags out to fight, just to get credit for himself. Unexpectedly, he encountered It’s a nail.” Azig also laughed.
Dorgon frowned and said nothing.
"Why, aren't you happy to see him deflated?" Dodo asked in confusion.
"I think our top priority now is to gain the trust of Bago. Only in this way can we survive. Only when we become stronger can we take revenge," Dorgon said.
"He is in a difficult situation now. If we help him at this time, so that he can suppress Daishan and Amin, we can gain his trust. We cannot treat him as an enemy at this stage."
Dodo and Azig thought for a moment and nodded.
The three brothers are now in an awkward position. If the two white flags are taken away, they will be completely finished.
The reason why Huang Taiji and the others did not take action to divide their two white flags was not because Huang Taiji and the others did not have the strength. It's because of the conflict between Huang Taiji, Daishan and Amin. pack of wolves
Waiting around, until no one dares to make the first move.
The strongest one now is Daishan’s Two Red Flags. Then there are the two yellow flags of Huang Taiji. The third one is the two white flags of the three brothers. Finally, there is Amin’s blue flag. Zhenglan Qi and Mang Gurtai were buried together. Although it has been rebuilt now. But the strength is very poor. Basically bottom.
If they want to survive, they must take sides, either with Daishan and Amin, or with Huang Taiji. Now that Huang Taiji is in a weak position, taking refuge in Huang Taiji is a timely help. Two white flags plus two yellow flags. If four flags match three flags, Baohuang Taiji will have the upper hand.
The three brothers, being young and weak, pose much less threat to Huang Taiji than Daishan and Amin. As long as Huang Taiji wants to bring down Daishan and Amin, he must reuse these three brothers. We have to rely on these three brothers.
Only in this way can the three brothers develop happily and have the opportunity to expand their strength.
Only with strength can we protect ourselves.
"So, this is an opportunity, we should help Fourth Brother." Dorgon said with a sneer.
Yang Fan was at the driving school watching his wives learn to drive.
He stayed away. I was afraid of being hit by female drivers.
The school grounds are very large, and the ground was originally paved with hot salt. It is then compacted using a steam roller. This site is barren of grass. A rock salt mine was discovered nearby. The surface salt mined initially contained many impurities and had no processing value, so it was used to pave the school field.
In addition to the three polar vehicles, there were also fifty six-ton steam trucks transmitted this time. Twenty walking tractors. There are also three steam bulldozers and six road rollers in the warehouse in Vladivostok. They are all produced in Xincheng. Brought by ship. After all, urban construction and road construction are also needed here in Vladivostok.
Yang Fan selected one hundred and fifty people from his servants to be students and learn how to drive a car. There are also thirty local people who can operate road rollers and bulldozers. A month later, when we set out to conquer the hinterland of the Jiannu, we relied on them to drive.
There were no roads in the Northeast in this era. This season is full of snow, and traffic is basically cut off. Yang Fan planned to use a steam bulldozer to open the road ahead. Flatten all the ice, snow, rocks, and small mounds. After the bulldozer passed, six rollers followed in two rows to compact the road directly.
Fifty steam trucks followed. Pulling supplies and artillery. The infantry marched behind. The reconnaissance troops took action in advance to monitor the situation dozens of miles ahead to ensure the safety of the army.
At this time, we can see the benefits of Yang Fan's choice of steam power. There are virgin forests all along the northeastern route. If you have wood, you can burn a steam engine. All these cars can go. Although there is no water, because the water is frozen into ice. However, just shovel the ice and snow into the water tank and bake it with a gasoline blowtorch, and it will melt quickly.
In this way, this team can go all the way to Shenyang. Otherwise, there would be no way, and no matter how many people there were, they would not be able to go south to attack Jiannu.
Yang Fan saw the ladies jumping out of the truck from a distance. Walking towards him happily. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It's half past eleven noon. It's the morning after school. It's time to eat.
Xiao Niangpi is definitely a dedicated cook. Arrive for dinner, rain or shine.
