Chapter 48 Breakthrough
Songshan City, which had been noisy in the middle of the night, had a series of heads hanging outside the South City Gate early the next morning.
Beating drums and playing music made the Qing army opposite uneasy. Haoge and others personally led their troops outside the city. Only then did Wang Tingchen ask someone to take Xia Chengde to the top of the city and cut off his head in front of Haoge and others.
"I'll give you this dog head!" He then picked up his head and threw it out dozens of steps...
Haoge's face was ashen, just like when he was in the city of Niuzhuang, he was consciously insulted and provoked by the Ming army. The Ming army was still laughing loudly on the top of the city.
The irritable Haoge was furious and wanted the drum soldiers to kill Wang Tingchen and chopped him up.
"Shut Prince Su, please calm down your anger..." Mandahai, Adali persuaded him to stop.
Songshan is not an invincible city, but there are tens of thousands of Ming troops inside, both firearms, and good generals and capable ministers. Even if the Qing army can take it down, a big tooth will be knocked off. If the war causes too much loss of its own troops, it will be useless for the Qing Dynasty to win.
They have too few people.
The Niulu is more than 300, and the total strength of the army is less than 100,000. Moreover, most Niulu does not have three hundred flags at all! In addition, the Mongolian and Han troops, the general calculation is that 130,000 and 40,000 people will be over.
That really doesn't allow for a slight waste.
After a big battle with Hong Chengchou, there would be a lot of losses. How could you force yourself to take Songshan?
Wang Tingchen looked at the Qing army retreating outside, with no surprise on his face. The Qing army's calculations were to trap the Ming army to death, rather than conquering Songshan. Although the Jianlu had traitors such as Kong Youde and organized outstanding guns and artillery soldiers, the Qing army's ability to siege was still touching.
If you don’t mention Songshan, just look at Jinzhou and you can see it.
The situation quickly returned to peace, and the two armies continued to confront each other. If the Qing army did not fight, the excitement of the Ming army could not last long. The current situation is that the food in Songshan City was about to be exhausted.
Seeing that the Qing army did not accept the call, the Ming army soon calmed down. This was the correct answer.
But what the Qing army absolutely didn't know was that the Songshan City, which looked dead, was splattering with hot blood inside.
Headed by Deputy General Zhu Wende, the names of each of them were listed on the famous list. In just one morning, there were as many as a hundred loyal and brave soldiers who were willing to die as the forefront of the army. Li Wu was really moved. In such an environment, if there was no fluctuation in his mind, it would be really a heart-warming heart.
The medicine powder bag is also being made in a tense manner, and there are even fire pieces. The medicine powder bag is of course extremely powerful, but if you don’t light the fire, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless.
In addition, you must also consider your own safety issues, the amount of medicine powder packs, and even the position of the carrying, and ensure that the heat will not be cut off due to accidents, and the size of the medicine powder packs, etc.
These are not what Li Wu has to consider. Hong Chengchou and the others will come up with the easiest plan in the shortest time. Li Wu also believed without hesitation that Hong Chengchou and the others will come up with the most suitable method. Because the civil and military people in front of him are not mediocre people!
They have been in the siege for a long time and are about to end their food. When a road to life that breaks through the siege suddenly appears in front of them, how can these people not work hard? How can they keep trying to create all conditions and strive for their own vitality?
Zheng Zhilong only gave a "human bomb" method, and did not think about other things carefully, and the reason was that there was no need.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and late night came.
The outside of Songshan City still looks quiet. In the dark night, tens of thousands of soldiers and civil and military soldiers took advantage of the gloss of stars and moons to make the final preparations before fighting.
The 300 suicide squad led by Zhu Wende hid in the brightly lit house and carefully checked everything. The big medicine bag on his back, the small medicine bag in his hand, and even the grenade hanging around his waist.
In addition to them, there were five hundred elite soldiers, each wearing armor, with a layer of cloth covered with pockets on his chest, and grenades on his head were filled with small pockets.
Wrap the medicine with silk, and use the yellow bamboo tubes on the outside, and can also hold some broken iron and gravel inside. Each one can be as small as three or two kilograms, and at most four or five kilograms. Is it not what Li Wu told Hong Chengchou, but they deduced it from the medicine powder bag.
After all, humans are intelligent creatures, with thoughts and inspiration. They are not beads on the abacus. You can move them after you move them.
On the sea, warships were already in place. When night fell, Hong Xu and Zheng Sen had already led them to the nearshore.
On the dark sea, the glimmer of stars and moons makes people unable to see the sea three or five miles away.
Zheng Sen held a sharp sword in his hand, sat cross-legged on the stern of the boat, looking at the shore. He had a very different feeling about the battle tonight than others.
He and Shi Lang both witnessed the tragic situation of the Ming army in the past.
There were corpses of Ming army floating on the sea, and the shocking scene could still be clearly seen in front of the two of them. Therefore, Zheng Sen and Shi Lang felt a different feeling about today's actions.
Now Zheng Sen is still on the Dawuwei ship, Shi Langze has led some of the volunteer camp and some of the bald army to quietly board the coast.
Hong Xu was also nervously arranging his walk.
Whether it is a bird boat or a black-tailed boat, it is impossible to enter the coastline. Even if you calculate the time correctly, when the Ming army in Songshan rushed to the coast, it will catch up with Ye Xi, bird boat and a black-tailed boat. It is better to calculate the time accurately and use the tide to rise to allow the warships to approach the Qing army camps on the coast closer.
The Zheng army's navy lacked flat sand boats, so Zheng Zhilong didn't know when Duoduo could send troops to come. In fact, he also saw that the Qing army reinforcements were two white flag soldiers, which was sure that he had really instigated the battle situation in Songjin.
How could he notify Shen Tingyang to lead the ship north again?
This time, whether it is to transport the volunteers under Zheng Sen's men ashore or to transport a large number of defeated Ming troops onto the ship, the only one who can rely on is a one-way boat. This is a big problem.
But what should come is still coming back. When explosions came from the shore, when a raging fire suddenly lit up in Songshan City, illuminating half of the sky in the west, Hong Xu drew his sword at the bow of the ship, "Kill..."
"Kill--" Zheng Senli yelled on a walking boat. When time came, the two of them immediately changed their positions.
At this time, Shi Lang had already led his troops to the Qing army camp in front. He did not have many troops, but his victory was sudden.
The three Qing army camps, only a few miles away from the coastline, are now in panic.
Putting aside the sudden movements of the Ming army in Songshan, the former threatened them to at least wait until the Ming army broke through the first line of defense. But the shouts of killing suddenly sounded behind them, and the lanterns and torches that suddenly lit up from the sea, which made the sea clear and clear, and even revealed tall warships.
The Ming army's navy had already arrived. The officers of the three Qing army camps all understood what was going on. Although they were not clear about how the Ming army inside and outside were connected, it was obvious that the Ming army in Songshan was about to break through.
