Sun Sike was speechless!
The gate of the ancestral tomb is not a tomb...that's right!
The gate is a door, but if it is a door, it is not a tomb. This door and the tomb are obviously two different things!
Therefore, Sifangcheng, Wenwu Square Gate, Xiaoling Gate, Xiangdian, Fangcheng and Minglou are not tombs. Only the underground palace, Baocheng and Baoding where Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are buried are considered tombs.
According to this standard, Zhu Heji's soldiers could use sugar pellets to "destroy" all the way to the square city in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb.
Sun Sike was still unwilling to give up, and shouted loudly: "Then, Zhu Heji is not afraid that the bombardment and thunder will shock Zhu Yuanzhang who is buried in the soil?"
Someone immediately answered: "The third great-grandson is not afraid! The third great-grandson said that Emperor Taizu hates the Tatars the most and loves his descendants the most. If he is alarmed and comes out of the underground palace, he will definitely help the third great-grandson. You Tartars will be dead by then!"
Sun Sike was completely speechless at this time. Zhu Heji had too many fallacies, and it was difficult to refute them.
But this is normal. Who are Zhu Heji? Original Confucian sage!
Can Sun Sike, a martial artist, compete with a Confucian saint?
Realizing that he could not defeat Zhu Heqian with his cannons, Sun Sike was also a little annoyed, and loudly ordered the people around him: "Fire! I will fire at the Zimu Cannon and Weiyuan General Cannon at Dajinmen. I will aim at Xiamafang and give me a good blow." Beat me!"
"嗻!"
With a burst of "嗻", the mother-and-son cannons placed in the three door openings of the Golden Gate and the two mighty general cannons on the Golden Gate opened fire.
The three cannons were not very accurate, and they all missed in the first round. However, the two cannons placed on the Golden Gate fired very accurately. In the first round of shooting, two explosive bombs were fired into Xiamafang. One of them was a dud, and the other one exploded, and a large bomb appeared. A cloud of white smoke.
However, the shell did not hit the civilians pushing the "silver cart", but the civilians were still frightened by the explosive bomb. They screamed and "picked it up" in a panic. They stuffed two pieces of tin-lead alloy into their pockets and ran away... The Ming army guarding them didn't look very brave, and they all left the silver and the cart containing it and ran away.
This scene was seen by Zhu Heji, who was standing on the Xiaoling Acropolis about two and a half miles away, using a telescope and couldn't help but laugh: "The people in Jiangnan are still very smart, and they didn't forget it when they ran away." Picking up a few pieces of fake silver is similar to that of us Cantonese people, so you have a bright future!"
He said this in official accent, so a group of men standing behind him wearing Ming Dynasty Confucian uniforms or military uniforms could understand, and all of them looked surprised. A few of them who were brave even spoke up to defend themselves.
"The saint who oversees the country and the silver donated by ordinary people are all real!"
"The money donated by the little old man is also real..."
"The saint who supervises the country, the common people did not give fake money!"
It turns out that these people are the ones who "love Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty" the most among the six prefectures in southern Jiangsu. They are all big businessmen, not profiteers, but loyal businessmen, very loyal businessmen!
When Zhu Heji was in Zhejiang, a large number of Zhejiang loyal merchants already sent him food and money... and they all wrote them down in small notebooks.
In addition, when Zhuge Sanhe was fighting in Anhui, many Anhui merchants lost money to avoid disaster... No, it should be to serve the country.
From now on, these "loyal merchants" in Anhui, Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu will be the targets of Zhu Heji's key support in the southeast.
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded, and said to these "loyal merchants": "I know, I know, you are all good landlords and good businessmen of our Ming Dynasty. You will not deceive others with fake money. Those fake silver were exchanged by Gu family." superior.
When it comes to war, soldiers never tire of deceit, and you can’t let Qing Yao steal good money... These Qing Yao guys want money more than their lives, and they will come to rob it soon! "
Sun Sike and Zu Zepu were also dumbfounded.
There were at least dozens of "silver carts" parked in the Xiamafang area, more than a mile away from them. The boxes containing silver on some silver carts were overturned, and the white silver was scattered all over the floor!
I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left in Xiamafang, right?
Are these traitors too wealthy?
"There is a fraud!" Sun Sike said, "There must be a fraud... There must be an ambush on the Xiaoling Acropolis!"
The trees around Xiamafang have been cut down, and you can tell if there are any ambushes at a glance. But I don’t know about the Xiaoling Acropolis, which is blocked by a large city!
But there is more than two miles from Xiaoling Acropolis to Xiamafang. Even if there is an ambush, it is impossible to come here so quickly, right?
"Chenchen... why don't you send two soldiers from the top to push back the carts containing the silver." Zu Zepu suggested, "If you can distribute the silver to the soldiers below, you won't be afraid. They were seduced by rebels.”
Sun Sike was right. If the money could be snatched back and shared among everyone, the subordinates would probably not have any thoughts of surrendering to the enemy again.
However, he was still very cautious. He mobilized two fully armed subordinates to form a military formation. One after the other, they carefully went out to grab the money. And he also specifically explained that one military formation was responsible for covering, and the other military formation immediately returned with the cart containing the silver after it was disbanded.
In addition, Sun Sike also issued a strict order: no one is allowed to hide one tael of silver secretly, otherwise he will be killed without mercy!
Hearing that there was money to be snatched, Sun Sike's two assistants moved like flying, and quickly drove out through a suspension bridge on the trench outside the Golden Gate. They also formed two groups, one in front and one behind. The phalanx rushed towards Xiamafang.
But when the phalanx that had been ordered to snatch the money had just disbanded and started pushing the "silver cart" in twos and threes, these soldiers suddenly felt the ground under their feet trembling slightly... These soldiers quickly turned their heads to the ground more than two miles away. Outside the Xiaoling Acropolis, I saw a large group of cavalry rushing out from behind the Xiaoling Acropolis!
These cavalrymen all wore saucer-shaped helmets and breastplates, holding reins in their left hand and a long spear in their right hand. They divided into several groups while running on horseback, and rushed towards the Qing army's formation in the south of Xiamafang in waves.
Before those Qing soldiers could react, the Ming army's rocket bombardment began!
These rocket launchers were placed on the walls of Xiaolingwei, aiming at Xiamafang and Dajinmen respectively.
These two places are fixed large targets, and they have been aimed at for a long time. It is impossible for the well-trained rocket artillery of the New Ming Army to miss them.
Dozens of rockets flew towards Xiimafang and Dajinmen with a strange cry of "Qiu Qiu Qiu".
The impact points of these rockets were not very concentrated, but a few still landed around the Qing army's formation in front.
The air waves and shrapnel generated after the explosion of the rocket rolled over both sides of the Qing army's formation, and immediately "cut down" the standing Qing army... It was as if they were not human beings, but Rows of straw.
The remaining Qing troops immediately fell into chaos and could no longer maintain their formation.
And how could a Qing infantry leader who had lost his square formation withstand an assault launched by thousands of Ming cavalry holding hollow spears?
Before the first shock wave of the Ming army's cavalry even hit, the Qing army's formation had already disintegrated and turned into a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and was soon swamped by the hooves of the Ming army's cavalry.
The Qing army commanders who dispersed to grab the money were even less able to resist. They all lost their weapons and ran away holding the "high imitation silver".
But how can two legs outrun four legs? In the blink of an eye, the Ming cavalry caught up and knocked over a large area of his body.
After dispersing Sun Sike's two subordinates in succession, the sudden cavalry did not call for gold to retreat, but continued to rush towards the Golden Gate.
At this time, the defenders on the Golden Gate had all gone down to hide from the rockets, so only the Qing troops guarding the three door openings could shoot with the shotgun's two-piece cannon.
Because the distance was relatively long and the Ming cavalry were protected by breastplates, the shotguns did not cause many casualties. However, the three cannons were very powerful and knocked down seven or eight Ming army cavalry in a row. But for thousands of cavalry, these losses were nothing. So they continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye they had rushed outside the first ditch outside the Golden Gate...
