When Qi Jiguang heard this, he was afraid that he was a pavilion elder, so he could only lower his head and remain silent! But Liu Haojia was not used to Zhang Han's temper, and sneered directly: "If you do this, then the official will be very welcome! Twenty thousand cavalry rush out on the left and right. If the formation is sparse, they will all die. Under the shotguns and muskets! If the formation is dense, a few rounds of artillery will defeat them all! Don't forget that there are mortars and explosive shells in Xiaguan that are not used! If Master Qi hadn't always put The formation remains sparse, and a few shells can kill thousands of people!"
Only then did everyone suddenly remember that Liu Haojia had never used the extremely powerful explosive bomb from the beginning to the end! It turned out that Qi Jiguang never gave him a chance to use it! So at this time, they couldn't help but sigh that Qi Jiguang was an experienced soldier and was familiar with the Tatar fighting style!
Finally, Liu Haojia and Qi Jiguang discussed and determined the outcome of this battle. Liu Haojia's side suffered two hundred casualties, most of which were wounded. Half of the cavalry were killed, about four hundred people! As for the Tatars, there were more than 5,000 casualties, most of them killed in action. Push it down according to this rule. Liu Haojia will get the result of beheading at level 500!
Emperor Wanli was unhappy when he heard this and said, "Two beloved ministers, is the number of beheadings you have negotiated a little less?"
Qi Jiguang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the two of us set this number for a certain reason, because the Tatars are basically cavalry and are very fast, so it is impossible for us to let the soldiers leave the formation on the battlefield to collect mobile phones! In that case, it is easy to be attacked by the Tatars! Moreover, the Tatars have a large number of people in this battle and are always on the offensive side! In other words, the battlefield is controlled by them, so they have time to take away the bodies of their companions calmly! And this has already been done This is normal for us to fight against the Tatars, so this time we killed many Tatars, but we could only bring back a small number of heads!"
Emperor Wanli nodded first, then rubbed his neck vigorously and said: "So that's what happened! I really understand! But next time when we practice again, you two stand in front of me, and your necks are twisting back and forth. tired!"
Everyone on the high platform burst into low laughter when they heard this! However, Qi Jiguang was anxious to see another drill, so he killed them before their laughter ended: "Mr. Liu, that city wall was just erected not long ago, right? Is it a practice siege station?"
Emperor Wanli also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes! I also want to see how a siege is fought!"
Liu Haojia immediately said: "If Your Majesty wants to see it, I will arrange it immediately!"
After saying that, he gave the order to the soldiers around him! After the soldiers waved their flags, the troops below quickly took action! More than twenty artillery pieces were lined up more than 400 steps away from the city gate, with their muzzles pointed directly at the city wall! At the same time, a group of soldiers took out sacks to collect soil on the spot, then ran forward with the sacks on their heads, and then dropped the sacks and quickly retreated less than a hundred steps away from the city wall!
And sandbags are not just thrown away randomly! They surrounded the sandbags into several low walls in an orderly manner! The height of this kind of low wall is only chest level, and the width from left to right is only about three or four steps!
Just when everyone was wondering what such a short low wall could do, they saw the sword-and-shield soldiers on the opposite side running over quickly with their shields holding up, covering the Folan cannon and the gunner! Everyone immediately understood that this low wall was for placing artillery! And then even those mortars were placed behind the low wall under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers!
At this time, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Now let me demonstrate the first method of siege to Your Majesty and your colleagues!"
As the soldiers waved their flags, the team below began to surge forward! Everyone could see that not all the troops below were dispatched, but the fire gun soldiers covered by sword and shield soldiers approached within a hundred steps of the city and began to fire wildly at the city wall! At the same time, new artillery and French cannons also began to fire on the city head!
Although a considerable part of the cannonballs were missed, the power of a small number of cannonballs hitting the city wall was amazing! The cannonballs hit the tower, and bricks and stones flew across the tower. It was crumbling and seemed to be about to collapse! The cannonballs hitting the city wall made a loud bang like drums! It's like an invisible giant is slamming the city wall with a heavy hammer!
And after three rounds of shooting, the artillerymen roughly figured out the pattern, and they all changed to shotgun shells! Then there were sounds like howling winds below, which were shotguns piercing the air and making a huge noise! Then there was the sound of lead bullets hitting the wall!
It is conceivable that if any soldiers guarding the city exposed their bodies at this time, they would be full of holes!
Just as the artillery and gun soldiers were shooting wildly, six artillery pieces had quietly moved their targets! They directly targeted the wooden door with huge copper nails embedded in it!
These artillerymen seemed to be well-trained, as four shells hit the ground in the first round! Four big holes were immediately punched in the door! People on the high platform can even use telescopes and see the scene behind through the hole in the door!
Especially Qi Jiguang was trembling all over! He could already imagine the miserable scene of the soldiers preparing to defend themselves in the city gate being swept away by cannonballs!
Seeing four holes punched in the city gate, the artillerymen were even more excited! Then came another volley! This time all six shells hit! Five new holes were added to the city gate! The reason why it is said that there are five new holes is that one of the shells hit next to the bullet hole in the previous round, merging the two bullet holes into one huge bullet hole!
Everyone on the high platform held telescopes in their hands and stared at the city gate! The civil servants all looked livid, while the nobles looked proud, and they didn’t know what they were proud of! You must know that the soldiers organizing the attack now have nothing to do with them!
Then the third salvo started, and another five shells were hit! Now the door, which was already crumbling, could no longer bear it! The door on the left fell directly backward, while the upper part of the door on the right somersaulted and hit the ground! At this moment the city gate is open!
Then the fire gun soldiers who were suppressing shooting outside the city and the sword and shield soldiers who were covering them immediately gathered together, roared loudly and ran towards the city gate! The troops behind who had not stepped forward quickly began to step forward to replenish the troops!
Seeing this scene, everyone on the high platform had only one thing in mind! The city is broken!
Just when everyone was feeling mixed in their hearts, Zhang Han, who was not angry at his proud appearance, winked at a civil servant who was usually known as a soldier! The civil servant who received the wink naturally knew what he meant, he just didn't want Liu Haojia to be too proud!
