Liu Liangchen, who was taking the lead, also became a victim of the Tiger Crouching Cannon. He only felt that his chest was hit twice by something unknown, and then there was a severe pain that made him unable to breathe. All the strength in his body suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was like this. He went limp. Then he saw that the originally closed door suddenly opened, and countless Ming troops poured in. They were all spearmen of the same color. The three or two rows of people rushing in front put their spears flat, covered their heads and just moved forward. !
How could the Qing soldiers, who were already being staggered by the Tiger Crouching Artillery, resist this new force that was like a jungle of spears? They were immediately shattered and scattered. Those who were lucky enough to escape with their lives lost their heavy weapons and retreated towards the city wall desperately. The charging Ming troops opened their throats and shouted in unison: "Blessed by Saint Kong... you are invulnerable!"
It turns out that Saint Kong can really be used like this... Liu Liangchen, who was lying on the cold muddy ground waiting for death, suddenly sighed and closed his eyelids.
Just when Liu Liangchen was about to die, the situation in the C-shaped fortress reversed again! He Luohui led four Niulu real Tatars to the top of the city. In addition to the Manchu soldiers led by Jia La'er Zhen Zhuoluo who had climbed to the city before, the number of Manchus on the wall of the C-shaped fortress was close to 2,000!
The biggest difference between the Eight Banners True Manchuria and the Han Army, Green Camp, and Ming Army is their personal martial arts. The Manchurian soldiers of this era were all-round warriors who could fight on horseback, on foot, with archery, with hand-to-hand combat, and of course with horseback shooting and horseback charging. Therefore, 2000 real Manchurians came to the city of C-shaped castle, which is equivalent to the arrival of 2000 archers who can fire eight-power bows and 2000 warriors who can fight in heavy armor!
For the Ming army and Tuanlian who were holding on to the C-shaped fortress, such a force was too powerful. Even with the blessing of Saint Kong, they could not withstand it.
Liu Zhaoji already knew that it would be difficult to hold on, but he still tried his best to support: "Hold the city gate! Let the old and weak go first. Only by guarding the city gate can the old and weak in this city have a chance. We can also kill a few more Tatars." son!"
At this time, most of the Manchu soldiers on the city took off their long bows and began to shoot arrows at the chaotic people in the city. The sound of arrows piercing flesh kept making a muffled sound. However, these Manchu soldiers did not really want to shoot all the people to death. Their purpose was to drive them to attack the city gate.
Today's battle in Fort C really hurt the refugees inside! Refugees, Tuanlian, Ming and Qing troops were fighting together, and they were still used as tools to break through the door. Swords had no eyes, and arrowheads also had no eyes. After fighting for most of the day, the small castle was filled with layers of corpses. It could be said that the city was filled with people.
Although the Green Camp of the Qing Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty suffered a lot of casualties, compared with the common people and regiment training in the C-shaped Fort, they were nothing worth mentioning.
At this time, the Eight Banners soldiers used bows and arrows to drive away people again. The arrows that kept falling forced the people who were still trying to escape with their lives to support the old and the young and rush to the city gate. As they walked, they made miserable cries. He fell into the mud that was almost stained red with blood. Two to three hundred white-armored and red-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor had already descended the city wall, forming a dense queue behind the crying people. They all held up shields and long knives, and the tips of the knives shone with coldness and murderous intent under the afterglow of the setting sun.
At the back of the queue, there were dozens of Han army bird cannon soldiers, all holding bird cannons with lit match ropes ready to be fired at any time. These gun soldiers, all neatly dressed, wearing helmets and cloth-covered armor, were slowly advancing like a wall!
Several of Liu Zhaoji's servants rushed up, held up General Liu Da's soldiers and wanted to retreat to the city, but he was thrown away hard: "Back off like hell! Go find someone to pile sacks and block both ends of the city gate tower." Come on...go quickly!"
The two servants still didn't give up, and one of them shouted loudly: "General, I'm afraid it won't work anymore, the real Tatars are coming!"
With a snap, this guy had already received a big slap on his ear.
"Real Tatars are not made of iron... We are only 200 steps away from the C-size gun platform, and there is a general cannon on the gun platform!"
It turns out that Shi Kefa also prepared a dirty trick! The nine fortresses outside Qufu City are all within the fire coverage of the general cannon mounted on the gun platform of Qufu City!
"Yes, but we are also on the city gate tower!"
"Yes, General Rong, the cannon has no eyes!"
Liu Zhaoji glared at the two servants: "What are we afraid of? We are protected by Saint Kong!"
What? Can Saint Kong defend himself against cannons? This Kong Shengren is so useful...
The people below did not dare to listen to Liu Zhaoji's words, so they had no choice but to bring in the sandbags that had been prepared long ago, piled up two parapets on both sides of the city gate tower, and mounted four assault cannons on them.
At the same time, Liu Zhaoji also asked people to put up a red flag on the tower.
This red flag is a signal! Whichever way the red flag falls, the four general cannons mounted on the No. C gun platform will fire in that direction... The Tatars below the city gate can't be hit, but they can't hit them from both sides of the city tower. The Tatars, however, fell into the trap.
"Everyone get down, get down, lean on the sandbags, don't show your trouble..." Liu Zhaoji personally held the red flag, and at the same time ordered his soldiers and the regiment training soldiers who had retreated along the city wall to get down. Lie down - only by lying on your stomach can Confucius protect them from eating cannonballs!
When he saw that it was almost done, he flipped the red flag to the right, and then lay down leaning on a parapet made of sandbags.
Boom boom boom...
When the cannon sounded, Duduo had already reached the west wall of the C-shaped roundhouse and was playing with the sandbags with the sword passed down by Nurhachi. Oh, it’s not for fun, it’s for research - this sack is not strong either. Every time it pokes a hole, mud leaks out. How can it block the Hongyi cannon? Is it really Saint Kong who is blessing me? But when I was studying as a child, I never heard that Sage Kong had this function!
Just then, the cannon fired again.
He put down the knife, looked around, and said with a smile: "Cao Zhenyan, this slave is quite nimble. How can you set up the cannon now?"
A white-armored soldier shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not Cao Niulu... His cannon hasn't been set up yet. This is the Confederate Army firing artillery!"
"What? They also have Hongyi cannons..." As Duduo spoke, there was another dense roar of artillery, and he frowned, "The sound of cannons is so dense, it's a Franco machine... ...Where are they bombing with the Franchise?"
The characteristic of the Folan cannon is its fast initial rate of fire - either fast all the time, or fast in the first few shots, because the Folan cannon uses a "mother-and-child gun" method to load ammunition. A cannon has four to nine blunderbuss, and each blunderbuss is replaced with another blunderbuss. However, due to the limited technical level at that time, the gap tolerance between the sub-cannon and the barrel was large, causing leakage of gunpowder gas, so it did not have the long range of the Hongyi cannon. Therefore, the Folang machine gun is usually loaded with shotgun shells and then used within 150 steps.
Duduo remembered that he had ordered his subordinates not to get too close to the main city of Qufu. Could it be that his subordinates did not obey the order?
At the strange moment, Jia La E Zhen Zhuo Luo, whom he sent to attack the round fort, had already crawled down from the top of the city. He threw himself in front of Du Duo and cried: "Your Majesty, my servants are being attacked." The general's artillery bombardment... The Nikans of Qufu City were too cruel. Regardless of the lives of their own people, they directly used the general's artillery to bombard the city walls on the left and right sides of the city gate tower. Our warriors suffered heavy casualties!"
Duduo sounded a little stupid. He used a cannon to kill himself and the enemy together... Why was Nikan so cruel?
"Blessed by Saint Kong... you are invulnerable!"
At this moment, cheers like thunder rang out from the gate tower of the C-shaped round castle.
The iron beads ejected from the general's cannon really have eyes. They are designed to kill Tatars, not Han people (they are all lying behind sandbags, so of course they can't hit them)!
This is a miracle! This shows that the blessing of Saint Kong is effective! Not only can I be invulnerable, I am not even afraid of cannons... What should I do?
"Stop fighting, stop fighting... There is something evil in Qufu!" Duduo was also a little scared, "It's better to withdraw the troops and return to the camp!"
