Chapter 330 Despicable, too despicable
Perhaps Cangzhou was taught too deeply, and the formation that Haoge set up in Tongzhou was really much better than when he was in Cangzhou.
In the view of Zheng Zhilong, the biggest improvement was not the increase in artillery or the increase in trenches, but the change in Haoge's ideological purpose - from resisting the enemy, from trying to take advantage of the Zheng army, and using his own few casualties to exchange for the Zheng army's huge casualties, to focusing on consuming and fighting for life.
What Haoge is pursuing now is not to completely reject Zheng Jun outside Tongzhou City or outside the Qing army's defense line, but to use his strong capital to fight the attrition war with Zheng Jun bit by bit. What he wants is time!
Because as long as Ajige outside the pass can come back, Zheng Zhilong will no longer leave the empty rear and ignore it!
The cavalry were not infantry soldiers, but the vests led by Ajige. They directly rushed to Qilu, Central Plains, not to siege the city or slaughter the city, but to randomly cause disasters to several county towns, and to burn, kill, looting, etc., creating hundreds of thousands of refugees to drive them to Qilu. How could Zheng Zhilong not return the troops?
The importance of the Ajige army was not the combat effectiveness of his troops, but the cavalry that could easily go south to Kaifeng and east to cross Qilu.
Who said that Zheng Zhilong's strength has not yet reached the passing line?
As long as the army is dispatched, there will be problems with the retreat. This is because he is only focusing on the Qing Dynasty's battle. If he fights with Zhu Ming again, Zheng's army will be attacked on both sides, and it will be a blessing to be able to firmly control Qilu!
So, it is really important when Ajige can rush back to Yanjing.
Although there is another possibility that after Ajige led his army back to Yanjing, he fought with the Zheng army to the death... But is this possible? The Tartars are not fools either. Dorgon, Bumubutai, there are many smart people!
But God doesn't like him. The sun was shining brightly this morning, and before the sun was too far west in the afternoon, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Zheng Zhilong originally planned to use a trick. He remembered that in several anti-Japanese war dramas, the local star buddies used chili noodles as bombs and threw them into the Japanese artillery tower. The TV effect was very good, but this scene really happened in history. The local star buddies lacked heavy weapons, so how to deal with the bunker? Then use chili noodles to smoke the Japanese.
Pour out all the powder from the mortar shells, first fill the pepper noodles, then fill the explosives, and finally screw the fuses on. The power of the pepper noodles is definitely a supreme weapon to deal with the Japanese in reinforced concrete fortifications.
Nowadays, mortar shells are no longer possible, but there are still mortar shells, aren’t they?
The trenches in front of the Tartar formation have been dug, but now they have been forked. Are there seven babies on a vine? I have opened a few more heads in front, and the trident and fivedent were formed, and dozens of mortars were used to hit the pepper bombs with added fuel, ensuring that no one in the trenches could stand it.
In this era, the thing about pepper has just been introduced to China from the Americas, and many people have not tasted it. Suddenly, they were choked by the pepper noodles, and no one could stand it.
After two days of fighting yesterday and today, Zheng Zhilong felt that he had already touched Haoge's idea. He was going to give him a cruel time in the afternoon. But God changed his face.
Seeing that the sky was about to change, I quickly asked someone to build a rain shed on the cannon position. Although many people joked that God was pitying the Qing soldiers, I don’t know how many Zheng soldiers felt that they were so unhappy.
Zhou Quanbin lay bored on the bed. This village near Zhangjiawan had become their campsite. A large number of the people in the village fled, leaving behind many empty houses. Zheng Jun gathered the remaining people to the south end of the village and moved into the vacant house.
Not to mention, this feels much better than the tent. Although it is stuffy, it is at least not affected by moisture.
There was a yard and a shed, and Zhou Quanbin was naked, but this was pretty neat. There were several other guys who threw poker in the house, one of them was naked, and one of them lost the worst. They were so naked, and the birds were hanging outside, so they were not ashamed.
Poker is a kind of entertainment allowed in the Zheng army. This was not invented by Zheng Zhilong, but something that was already present in the Zheng army.
Imported products, European games, were circulated in the Zheng army, but they were definitely not the most popular.
At that time, there was no ban in the Zheng army, and shaking dice was their favorite.
But now that the dice is not allowed to shake, poker is looking forward to the clouds clearing and the moon is bright.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong still invented many ways of playing poker. This is called poker games quickly spread inside and outside the Zheng army.
The soldiers like to bet twice. What they do is to lose their heads, and some people are indifferent to life and death, and they are drunk today. Although they are all simple men at the beginning, when they get used to life and death, and when their wives and children have their own support, will their temperament remain unchanged?
But there are exceptions, Zhou Quanbin doesn't like gambling cards. Compared to gambling cards, he hopes that the battle will start faster. The notice from their camp this morning was already out, and everyone was preparing for a sudden attack. As a result, God soaked it all in the water.
The rain didn't stop until dusk.
"Let it go..." With a command, the artillery soldiers on the Zheng army's position began to be busy again, and the rumbling sound of artillery sounded throughout the world in an instant.
Zhou Quanbin climbed up the roof, not only he climbed up the roof, but many people climbed up the roof. In addition to the remaining common people in this village, several and a half of them were quick to hold the big tree and climbed the tall and tall.
Everyone was watching the power of the cannon group.
Fireworks wiped out all the moisture. The rolling smoke and wind could not blow, burying the entire Tongzhou.
Bai also shrank his head and pressed against the trench wall. Zheng Zhilong had his figure in the first battle of Niuzhuang when he "out of the mountain". Now this guy is still alive, with many arms, legs, nose and ears.
Of course, he did not make a name for himself, and was still a simple soldier.
Now he is squatting in the trenches as a military supervisor, urging the surrounding green flag soldiers to fight bravely.
Seeing the iron bullets flying over his head, Bai was actually not very scared. The chances of the shell falling directly on his head were too small. If his luck was so bad, he would avoid the shell and also avoid the grenade and the fight between hand and hand.
With the roar of the five-jin cannon, the sound of the mortar cannon was so slight. So, he didn't know where the smell came from until his eyes suddenly felt a burning pain, and then he smelled a very spicy and choking smell in his nose.
"Ah Yeh, Ah Yeh..." Bai didn't care about anything else, and he even sneezed and coughed, his face covered with tears and nose.
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
Countless heart-wrenching coughs sounded in the trenches outside Tongzhou City. After a while, the Qing soldiers ignored the shells that were still falling above their heads and the opposite side, and the Zheng army rushed from the side, running back along the traffic trench in a panic.
"Cough cough cough...Cough cough cough..." At this moment, this sound was left in the world.
In Leng Sengji's disbelief eyes, in the joy of Zheng Zhilong's laughter, the Zheng soldiers who attacked seized the first line of defense of the Qing army in Tongzhou without any trouble. Many Qing soldiers became prisoners without resistance amid the heart-wrenching cough.
"Quick, hurry, seize the position, seize the position." Shi Lang, who led the troops to attack, smiled like a bear stole honey. This was simply too smooth.
This chili bomb is extremely impressive. If you are not prepared, you can fight the iron man, and you will still be unable to resist the spicy chili powder.
Suddenly, they were shrouded in the "poison gas" of the pepper bomb. Tens of thousands of Qing troops seemed to have lost their combat effectiveness on all sides of Tongzhou. Apart from some of them, they forced themselves to escape back, at least three or four thousand people were captured in tears.
After these people were dragged out of the position, they breathed in fresh air in big mouthfuls, and everyone's faces looked like they had survived the disaster. The bellies were lying on the ground or in the trenches, and the heart-wrenching smell of coughing was really good.
"Bang--" Haoge punched the city wall with anger, his hands were broken, and the pungent smell drifted through the wind in the air had already explained everything. "Despicable, so despicable!"
