What? There is a fortress behind Fenghuang Mountain and Yuehua Mountain, with several gun platforms?
And there were hundreds of cannons, and they killed Shang Kele?
Now both Shang Kexi and Kong Youde couldn't hold their anger! They boasted about Haikou in front of Haogou, and Haug also issued strict orders to break the city as soon as possible, and then lead the main force south for reinforcements.
But what to do now? There is actually a fortress in Fengyang Fucheng that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
And there are lots of artillery! I don’t know if there is a Hongyi cannon? If there are several doors, the trouble will be big...
Boom boom!
Just when Shang Kexi and Kong Youde didn't know what to do, they suddenly heard the sound of artillery in front, and then shouts sounded from behind the two of them.
"cannon......"
"It's the Hongyi Cannon!"
"Put it on the mountain..."
"My lord, be careful!"
It turns out that the Ming army set up cannons on Phoenix Mountain, and they were Hongyi cannons! There were only two of them, and the shots were inaccurate. They missed Shang Kexi and Kong Youde and the men behind them.
But it still scared the two princes who were taking the lead into a cold sweat!
"Yuan, brother Yuanji, this place is dangerous. Let's retreat to the rear right gate!" Kong Youde was already panicked and couldn't speak fluently. Of course he knew how powerful the Hongyi cannon was. If those two cannons were accurate, his life would be sealed.
And he knew that the cannon would become more accurate as time went by, but he couldn't just stand there and be a target all the time!
"Brother Ruitu said it's very good... Let's retreat first, and then we can deploy the Hongyi cannon into the city!"
Shang Kexi also cherished his life. How could he dare to stay under the muzzle of the Hongyi cannon? So he and Kong Youde retreated to the rear right gate of Jiadi. As soon as they reached the city gate, they met Shuo Zhan who was beaming with joy.
Shuo Zhan was stunned when he saw the two princes, and then asked with a smile: "What? It's all over in the city? You two are going to lead the troops south now? Isn't this too diligent?"
"Mele Zhangjing, we underestimated the enemy!" Shang Kexi had already taken out his handkerchief, pretended to wipe it on his face twice, and howled a few more times, "My brother is really pitiful, he was killed by the Nankou He was ambushed and turned into a pulp by cannons!"
"Is your brother... cute?" Shuo Zhan also became nervous. What a good relationship he had with Shang Cute, a pure friendship!
Shang Kexi was still moaning in pain and ignored Shuo Zhan - he couldn't stand the friendship between the two!
"He's so cute...is he dead?" Shuo Zhan's voice trembled.
So cute, why did he die?
"It's not cute...it's coke!" Shang Kexi continued to wipe away the tears that were not there at all. He is just a godbrother, and he has seven or eight more! After death, I still have my godson, so I won’t be sad...
Fortunately, it's not cute... Shuo Zhan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what should we do next? Can we still capture Fengyang City today?"
"How can we defeat it?" Shang Kexi shook his head repeatedly, "There is a Bagua Fort (this is his name for the bastion). There are eight large gun platforms, and each large gun platform has eight Hongyi cannons. Phoenix There are two more Hongyi cannons on the mountain, and there are a total of sixty-six Hongyi cannons!"
"How could there be so many?" Shuo Zhan was experienced in fighting. He had never seen the Ming army gather so many Hongyi cannons at one time.
Shang Ke said happily: "It must have been bought from the Xiyi people... The young prince of the Zhu family had a lot of money, and he married the pirate Zheng family. He had a way to the West and hundreds of red Yi cannons." what?"
Hundreds of doors...Shang Kexi's mouth is really capable of deceiving.
Shuo Zhan was also stunned by his deception. Of course he knew that Zhu Cixi was rich and married into the Zheng family, a pirate family. He also knew that the Red Yi cannon was a "specialty" of the Western Red Yi country. If the Zheng family of pirates were to take the silver that Zhu Cihong had collected from the southeast and go to the Red Yi Kingdom in the West to buy it, hundreds or even thousands would not be a problem!
"Then, what should we do?" Shuo Zhan was anxious, "The good news has been sent to the prince...how can you not defeat it?"
In fact, it's not his fault for being rough, but the fact that in all the years their Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers have been roaming the world, they have never broken into a city wall and then been kicked out.
So when the Qing soldiers from the brigade rushed into Fengyang City, Shuo Zhan took it for granted that the overall situation was decided, so he sent Tang Ma to report the good news to Hao Ge.
Shang Ke is both happy and anxious. This is a lie about the military situation!
Although it was Shuo Zhan who made the false report, if Prince Su really wants to pursue him, he and Kong Youde will definitely be in trouble!
"Ruitu," Shang Ke looked at Kong Youde happily, "What should I do?"
"This, this..." Kong Youde was also sweating on his forehead. He was not afraid that Hauge would pursue false claims of military exploits, but he was afraid that Hauge and Shuo Zhan would force him to attack the fortress in Fengyang City.
If you use up all your strength, that's what will really kill you!
He frowned and said thoughtfully: "We, we did break Fengyang City! Didn't King Su urge us to go south to Daqun Ridge? The important thing is over Daqun Ridge!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Shang Kexi patted his forehead, "The most important thing now is Daqianling! As long as the Nanbing Brigade can be defeated, the fortress in Fengyang City can be captured sooner or later. Yes. So we still have to mobilize our elite troops to go south to help King Su!"
Shuo Zhan thought it made sense when he heard it, "What about Fengyang?"
Kong Youde said: "The outer city wall can always be captured... Once the outer city wall is occupied, can the fortress inside still be able to fly with wings? As long as the Daqianling side can be captured, Fengyang After all, this city belongs to our Qing Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes..." Shuo Zhan nodded, "We can't miss Prince Su's important event! You two will immediately select 20,000 elite soldiers, pull up 15 Hongyi cannons, and go south early tomorrow morning Daqianling! In Fengyang, Commander Bai and I will just take care of it."
The Han army, Baoyi, and Green Camp under Monk Kong Youde and the Green Camp totaled more than 20,000 people, and there were 24 Hongyi cannons. After taking away 20,000 people and 15 cannons, Shuo Zhan was left with several thousand people and nine cannons, plus more than 10,000 people under Bai Guangen and more than 1,000 eight flags and coats brought by Shuo Zhan himself. , it is impossible to take down Fengyang Forbidden Wall Fortress, but it is enough to defend Fengyang Outer City and confront Zhuchuncheng.
As long as nothing happens on Hauge's end, Fengyang City can still be taken down sooner or later!
...
When the news that Fengyang Fucheng was captured was sent to the Daqianling Army, Hauge, surrounded by generals, immediately stood on a high slope and used a monocular telescope to look at the battalion columns at the foot of the mountain. The Ming army marched in for the unit.
These Ming armies were very different from the Ming armies that Hauge had seen before. Not only were their formations so neat and orderly, they were also very high-spirited. As they walked, they were shouting, "Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is reincarnated—invincible." slogan.
In addition, their weapons and equipment look very sophisticated.
The people who are marching forward are all infantry. Everyone is wearing cloth-covered iron armor, and half of them are carrying Zhangba long spears. The barrels of the guns are straight, and the spear tips are covered with sheaths that are one and a half feet long - obviously, these Zhangba long spears are They are good stuff, and the soldiers who use them take good care of them.
The other half, everyone is carrying a blunderbuss!
Half spear, half fire blunderbuss, not a three-eyed blunderbuss, but a bird blunderbuss and a turtle dove foot blunderbuss!
There is such a way to match troops... How many fire guns does the Ming army in front of them have? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?
This number is a bit astonishing!
If so many muskets can't explode easily and can fire at the correct distance, the Ming army in front of them will not be easy to deal with!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am so happy!"
At this time, Obai received a military report sent by his subordinates, took a look at it, and smiled and congratulated Hauge.
"Did Fengyang win?" Hauge put down the telescope.
"We've got it!" Obai smiled, "The outer city has been broken, it's effortless!
Your Majesty, do you want to give Shuo Zhan, Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi another order to bring people over quickly? "
"Okay!" Hauge nodded, "Let Kong Youde and Shang Kexi bring 20,000 people over... Once they come, we will be invincible."
