"The most holy teacher Confucius bless you..."
Duduo was a little stunned when he saw these ten words through the telescope. What is going on? Why is Confucius still there to protect me... Today is a battle, not an imperial examination. If I want protection, I should go to Mr. Guan. How can I go to Confucius? Have you uneducated Nikans ever read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
"Kill! Kill them all!"
"Surge into Qufu, steal money, and steal women!"
"Kill all the people named Kong..."
The green battalion soldiers shouted forward and soon reached the outer trench of the C-shaped fort. Most of them are illiterate, and they don't know how powerful Confucius is - Confucius was a Confucian who was nine feet tall, powerful, and could never leave his sword! Otherwise, how could he travel around the world and reason with people? The Chinese people in the Spring and Autumn Period were very fierce. If Confucius was really powerless, who would reason with him?
In addition, Confucius’ father, uncle Liang He, was a warrior holding a thousand-jin gate in his hand. How strong was he? Will his son lose the strength of two to three hundred pounds?
However, Kong Yinzhi, a descendant of Confucius (perhaps a fake), was not that strong, could not play with a sword, and could not hold up a thousand-jin gate.
When the attack and defense of C-zi Fort began, he just hid in the Confucius mansion, kneeling in front of the ancestor's tablet and trembling... I don't know what Confucius's spirit in heaven would think after seeing it?
Perhaps Confucius's spirit in heaven would not even look at Kong Yinzhi, because bloody battles had already started up and down the west city of C-zi Fort.
On the outside of the circular trench, dozens of shield carts were arranged crookedly. Behind the shield carts were all the archers of the Green Battalion, forming a loose formation and throwing arrows at the top of the city in waves. The density of the feathered arrows was not high, but it was still so heavy that the defenders on the city could not lift their heads and could not fire a few counterattack arrows.
Under their cover, other Green Camp soldiers continued to throw sacks filled with soil into the trenches, and soon filled in several passages.
Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen led more than a hundred Han troops with Zhenghuang banners and escorted more than a thousand green battalion soldiers to the front line. About half of these more than a thousand people were wearing tattered cloth-covered iron armor, and they looked like they could A fight.
Although these Green Camp soldiers are the foundation of the Ming Army, they are "more disciplined" than before. Because the generals of the Green Camp were under the control of the Eight Banners, they did not dare to deduct military pay and eat up their quotas. Therefore, after the Ming troops who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty became Green Camp soldiers, their treatment generally improved! In addition, the thing they are holding is more effective than before! The messy firearms that could only be used to scare people were thrown away and replaced with cold weapons that could actually kill people. The number of armors has also increased significantly, and good armor and helmets are no longer reserved for servants and generals, but are given to warriors who actually charge into battle.
In addition, they now have more opportunities to grab!
Although most of the Ming army these days have broken discipline, there are many teams that cause harm wherever they go. But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty court still occupies the richest territory in China, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty's army to break away and seize the court's territory!
And now there is the Fujun Prince Zhu Cixiang. He has launched a new army with sufficient pay to overcome difficulties. He has surrounded the best territory in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty to prevent it from being harmed by other unknown troops. This is really unfair. On the road...
It is for these reasons that after joining the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers of Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo became much more energetic than before.
And Dorgon was quite interesting. He did not hold these two men accountable for "slandering the King of Pingxi". Instead, he put some small groups of Ming troops gathered in North Zhili and Shanxi into their ranks. He also raised the flag for Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo, making them good slaves of the Qing Dynasty!
In addition, Dorgon also sent Han troops from Zhenghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner to station directly to serve as the backbone of the Green Camp soldiers. Liu Liangchen took a large number of Han troops to station in the Green Camp led by his brother Liu Liangzuo.
Seeing that the passage had been filled in, Liu Liangchen immediately raised his long knife and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come after me! He, he, can only advance, never retreat, and snatch this Qufu of his!"
The Green Camp soldiers and Han troops who followed him could no longer hold back any longer. Among them were many veterans who had experienced battles for a long time. They had long seen that the defense of the fortress in front of them was weak. Now after hearing Liu Liangchen's order, they all shouted and rushed forward.
At the same time, Xu Dingguo and Wu Weihua, two generals of the Green Battalion, also directed their soldiers to cross the trench through the newly filled passage.
Three waves of people rushed forward like a flood, and the regiment trainer who was already on guard on the city wall just shouted in panic when he saw these three waves of people. Their means of defending the city were limited, they had no firearms, not even a few bows. Under the cover of shields, they just lifted up rolling logs and stones and smashed them down, while others poured buckets of hot, stinking gold juice down. At this time, there were still people shooting arrows under the city. Waves of volleys were fired, and the arrowheads fell among the regiment training people who were only covered by cloth, leaving a mass of casualties!
Heart-rending screams rang out from all over the city, and cries rang out from all over the city. When the regiment officers on the top of the city heard the cry, they all knew they could not retreat, otherwise their families would become victims of the Qing soldiers. So they didn't care about the powerful arrows shot from the city. Everyone was determined to fight and waited for the Qing soldiers to come up and fight.
The people above the city were fighting for their lives, but the people below were also red-eyed. The archers who were originally hiding behind the shield carts and firing arrows now all rushed to the edge of the ditch and no longer fired in unison. Instead, they shot arrows toward the top of the city one by one. The accuracy suddenly improved a lot.
Liu Liangchen even took advantage of the fact that he was wearing heavy armor and stood directly under the city wall, shouting for a fierce battle!
Ladders were set up one after another, and the green battalion soldiers carrying shields also risked their lives to climb up. The defenders on the top of the city ignored the rain of arrows, and everything they could throw seemed to be thrown down at the same time. Qing soldiers who were hit by rocks and rolling logs or burned by gold juice kept rolling down. Some died on the spot, and some survived, crying for their fathers and mothers under the city wall.
But some green soldiers still rushed to the top of the city, and the regiment drillers on the city summoned their greatest courage and rushed up from all directions, and the two sides fought together. Although the Qing soldiers were well equipped with armor and sharp weapons, the militia guarding the city were fighting for their lives! Some were wielding swords, waving hoes, or rushing forward with dung forks. Many people even risked their lives and resorted to ruthless moves to trade one life for another, and actually withstood the attack of the Qing army. hit. But it was just to hold on, there was no extra strength to drive them out of the city.
"Charging up! Charging up... Gushan Ezhen, our people have already gone up, and Qufu City can't defend it like this!"
Liu Liangzuo did not go into battle in person today, but left the troops under the command of his younger brother. He followed He Luohui and was already dancing happily.
He Luohui had a relaxed smile on his face. He originally thought that the castle that Hongyi's cannon could not attack was so difficult to defeat, but he didn't expect that he would rush up in one wave. It seems that Qufu City is nothing more than this... ...If this is defeated, the first success will be attributed to the soldiers of the Liu family!
Just when He Luohui was feeling proud, someone beside him suddenly shouted: "Gushan Ezhen, the reinforcements from the South have come out from the big city of Qufu!"
He Luohui quickly raised his telescope and looked under the main city of Qufu. The first thing that caught his eye was a huge tablet being carried. On it was written: The seat of the most holy teacher Confucius!
"Carrying the tablet, haha..." He Luohui was amused, "It's still the tablet of Confucius. What does this mean?"
Liu Liangzuo responded with a smile: "Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi are both pedantic Confucian scholars. They don't know how to fight. They only do such stupid things... Why don't you let your subordinates lead people to kill him for a while!"
"That's fine!" He Luohui nodded, "You take your own troops and transfer 1,000 people from the Xu family army. Remember, don't get close to the big city of Qufu. There must be artillery on the big city!"
