Fukangan took a deep breath.

"The general is right, this is the result we originally envisioned!"

Attract the Ming army to Gongcheng, and use the city's defense system to cause enough damage to the Ming army to make the Ming army pay the price.

This was the original plan of the Qing army.

Even now the Golden Castle was breached in one day.

This plan should still be implemented.

Regardless of whether the other party is lucky or not...

"Come on! Call everyone here!"

"Ni Ming wants to conquer the city. I will leave my words here for now. I will live and die with Ganzhou!~"

"Yes! The same goes for me, general!"

Two Qing generals in Ganzhou City shouted loudly.

.......

"The walls of Ganzhou City are so thick, it seems that the opponent is well prepared."

Looking at the layout plan of Ganzhou City in my hand, the most eye-catching thing is the thick city wall.

It was originally based on the information obtained by Zhu Daohua.

The top thickness of the city wall in Ganzhou City is about two meters.

The thickness of the wall base may have reached five meters.

but now.

The thickness of the walls of Ganzhou City can be said to have undergone an overhaul.

First, there was a circle of sandbag wall, and then the soil was filled and compacted between the sandbag wall and the original city wall.

The thickness has increased a lot.

A large number of bomb shelters were also built at the foot of the city wall.

"This project is quite large!"

Zhu Daohua gave Napoleon the Ganzhou city defense plan drawn by two hot air balloons in the sky.

Napoleon had a good idea after looking at it.

"It requires a lot of explosives to blow open the city wall. Before that, some firepower preparations must be made. My Majesty, this is my latest opinion. Firepower must be concentrated and used, just like a fist... to spread the energy If we gather at one point and open a gap, it will be like a dam collapsing and it will be unstoppable."

Napoleon read the city defense map in his hand and handed it to a staff officer beside him.

"We have to knock out those ridiculous mortars of theirs with howitzers first."

Napoleon said.

"Pull those eight big treasures over here. The explosive power of their shells will ensure that all the artillery on the opposite side will be destroyed!" When Napoleon said this, he muttered: "It's a pity that there are only eight." '

Zhu Daohua shook his head when he heard this and said: "Bonaparte, it's not that the lonely king is reluctant to give up money, but that this kind of front-loaded rifled gun has made too many compromises in order to be able to stuff the shells into the muzzle smoothly. The future of artillery can only be rear-mounted rifled guns." Load the rifled cannon!”

Zhu Daohua is always very firm about the development direction of this kind of military technology.

After all, he knew it.

A correct direction is often more difficult than solving a technical problem.

For example, when tanks appear.

There are all kinds of very magical multi-turret designs.

In the end, after being beaten, everyone knew that the single turret design of the tank was the most reasonable and optimized design.

And similar cases abound.

The reason why the Ming army under Zhu Daohua was able to develop rapidly in terms of military equipment and equipment.

It's because Zhu Daohua has figured it out and knows which direction is correct.

Saves a lot of time exploring and exploring.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua will not invest resources in this excessive type of artillery.

"Okay, okay, anyway, we don't expect to directly use cannons to blow down the walls of Ganzhou City. Even if the bombardment lasts for a week or two, the walls of Ganzhou City will definitely not be able to withstand it. But now the other side doesn't have any There is no room for counterattack, especially after blasting away their large mortars that fire round shells."

Napoleon said.

I definitely can’t stand it.

Because compared with the previous wooden cartridges that could not withstand high chamber pressure and could only be ejected with a small amount of propellant.

The shell shell of this shell, which is close to the shell configuration of later generations of howitzers, is made of one-piece cast steel up to two centimeters thick.

The bore pressure it can withstand is no less than that of ordinary solid pig iron shells.

Therefore, the projectile speed of the cannon is very high, and it can be aimed directly at the city wall design like a cannon fired by a solid projectile. After the projectile is embedded in the city wall, it explodes, and the destructive power is much greater than that of firing a solid projectile.

"Okay, anyway, you will be the commander-in-chief of the siege. After taking Ganzhou City in five days, go north and bite Nanchang City. Now it depends on whether Qianlong dares to stay in Nanchang. If he is smart enough to stay in Nanchang , when Gu Wang’s armored ship enters the Yangtze River, he won’t be able to run away even if he wants to. If he has already arrived, he will just run away. Let’s see what the world’s gentry will think of such a Tatar emperor.”

The corners of Zhu Daohua's mouth rose.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria relied on the coercion of force to control the Han gentry. Now if the Tatars no longer have the suppression of force.

He would like to see how many Han gentry are rushing to work as dogs for the Tatars.

If there were really people loyal to the Manchus...

Then they are accomplices who swear to defend the cruel reactionary rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the death.

It must be completely eliminated....

.......

Zhu Daohua still doesn't know that Emperor Qianlong of Nanchang has been so angry that he temporarily became a vegetative state.

So before the siege officially begins.

He is still very disciplined and follows the rules of courtesy first and then fighting.

Through a Manchu official who refused to surrender after being captured (there were still some loyal ministers), he sent a letter persuading him to surrender and enter Ganzhou City.

In the letter, Zhu Daohua stated that those who committed the crime were the upper-class nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the vested interests of the Qing Empire.

The vast majority of lower-level bannermen are actually part of the group who are being oppressed and exploited.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua elaborated in his letter how the Ming Dynasty dealt with those who surrendered.

For those who are willing to be loyal, let bygones be bygones and use them according to their ability.

Those who are unwilling to be loyal will be imprisoned until the end of the war, or used in exchange for captured Ming side personnel.

At the same time, it was emphasized that Ming Dynasty’s ethnic policy gave priority to Han people.

But if ordinary banner people change their surnames to Han, they can be treated as Han people - after all, they can't speak Manchurian or write Manchu characters.

As for those accomplices of the reactionary rule of the Qing Empire, including banner bureaucrats and Han bureaucrats, they all need to undergo transformation, and their fate will be determined based on their performance.

This kind of treatment can be said to be quite generous and benevolent.

pity.

The reactionary leaders of the Qing Empire, headed by Agui and Fukang'an, arrogantly refused the Ming Dynasty's persuasion to surrender and resisted to the end. Even though they knew they could no longer resist, they still dragged tens of thousands of Qing troops to fight for the decadence and reaction of the Qing Empire. The stubborn, sinful reign is buried.

This is a report from the [Sun and Monthly News] after the war.

The actual situation is.

The head of the loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who entered the city with a letter to persuade him to surrender was sent out, but his body remained in the city.

Since the other party does not talk about martial ethics, Zhu Daohua must let the Tatars see his martial ethics.

Eight thick tubes roared and poured firepower forward.

The observers on the hot air balloon are responsible for observing the effects of damage and are in contact with the ground at any time through the line connected to the ground.

Correct and guide the firing angle and orientation of the artillery at any time.

When the sky has eyes.

The Ming army's artillery fire was very effective.

Several rounds of shooting.

Then Agui's carefully arranged mortar positions were blasted into the sky.

After there is no longer the threat of direct firepower in the city.

A large number of large-caliber mortars approached and established positions only about two hundred steps away from Ganzhou City.

Large-caliber mortar shells are now also cast in one piece with steel shells, with a longer range and a larger charge!

The sound of the eight long-range large-caliber howitzers had just stopped.

Dozens of howitzers began to pour more intensive firepower towards the city wall in front.

The entire area was covered by artillery fire, and it was impossible for anyone to exist on this wall.

After blasting away the defenders around the city wall.

The artillery fire began to extend forward, forming an isolation zone.

Under cover of fire.

The Ming army's demolition team swaggered under the city wall carrying explosive bags.

Dig a hole in the city wall, fill it with explosives, and pull back the detonator fuse.

"Okay! Very smooth!"

Zhu Daohua saw the actions of the blasting team through the telescope.

Under the guidance of lookouts on the hot air balloon, long-range artillery blasted away the enemy's long-range direct fire.

Intense large-caliber mortar fire cover.

The blasting team carried out the blasting.

Such a siege strategy.

Napoleon kicked it out.

Concentrate your firepower and attack a little.

Use explosives to blow open the city wall!

To ensure smooth operation.

The Ming army had conducted many similar military exercises before this.

Experiment with the damage effect of yellow gunpowder explosion on city walls.

The results are very gratifying.

In later generations, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom often used this method to attack cities.

The level of castle construction in the Qing Dynasty was actually at the level of the late Ming Dynasty, maybe even worse.

Because on the one hand, the Qing Dynasty implemented a harsh literary prison.

The circulation of similar books is strictly prohibited.

on the other hand.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty did not have much motivation to build fortified cities in the Han region - after all, they were always ready to run away and return to their hometown in the Northeast.

This has led Europe to play with various complex bastions to adapt to warfare in the age of artillery.

There was basically no reaction from the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which did not have many highly explosive explosives and did not have the superior firepower cover of the Ming Army, could dig trenches and blow up the city walls to attack the city.

The more professional Ming army would have no problem.

In Ganzhou City.

Agui and Fukangan had no idea what was happening below the city.

Because the Ming army's artillery fire blocked everything.

They didn't know why the Ming army kept bombarding this area and blocking everyone's access.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"let's start!"

"yes!"

The demolition man in charge of the blast saluted excitedly.

What an honor it is to be received by King Ming personally!

Wait for Zhu Daohua, Napoleon and others to enter the trenches.

The detonator was ignited.

The lead burned rapidly and headed along the ground towards the front wall.

The shelling has stopped.

All the artillerymen took shelter in the trenches, and those who were bolder stuck their heads out and exposed their eyes to look ahead.

finally.

The detonator burned to full force.

After the shelling stopped, some Qing soldiers climbed onto the city wall to look around.

only.

How he could see that a big hole had been dug under the city wall.

At least hundreds of kilograms of explosives were stuffed inside.

After the spark from the detonator ignited the explosive.

boom! !

The ground shook suddenly.

Fire exploded.

The bricks and stones were suddenly blasted into the sky.

Thick smoke filled the sky.

Wait until the smoke clears...

A huge gap.

The city wall that appeared in Ganzhou City! !

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.

A single dormitory?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.

The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was successful...

The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.

He turned into a completely different person!

Could it be...that he traveled through time?

In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"

"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"

"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:? ? ?

The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?

"cough."

Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.

Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.

Icefield City.
