Chapter 85:Four Generals Compete for Merit

"The third brother is heavy." Wang Kefan waved his hand with a smile.

Wang Sheng saw the power of gunpowder for the first time, and under the agitation of his mood, some of the praise was too understandable, but he must remain calm...

The Chinese invented gunpowder, but has not been giving full play to its power, so the city wall is always the most reliable fortification, in the ancient war, the siege and defense war around the wall almost developed to the extreme, a variety of offensive and defensive equipment and offensive and defensive tactics dazzling, but in general, the city guard side occupies an absolute advantage.

For example, when Li Zicheng was surrounded by millions of troops, many times before and after the attack, but repeatedly frustrated under the wall, and finally led the Yellow River to flood and open the seal, it finally broke the city... If it is not the Yellow River full of sediment, the deposition has caused a special hanging river terrain for many years, and I do not know when it will be able to conquer the opening.

For example, Jiangyin anti-Qing people, only with the crude weapons of the people, in the face of tens of thousands of people in the Qing army to stick to it for more than 80 days, and finally the Qing army transferred the red coat cannon, only to open the wall to break the city.

After the entry of Manchu Qing, Yanjing, Nanjing, Datong, Xi'an ... all took the initiative to surrender to the Qing army, and the Qing soldiers occupied these important cities without blood, so as to quickly occupy most of China.If Li Zicheng can stick to Yanjing, Datong and Xi'an, or the Ming Army can stick to Nanjing and Wuchang, Manqing wants to hit the south of the Yangtze River, at least two years.

In the last year of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to break through the strong city of Yanjing and Nanjing, there is only a long-term siege of this way, a few months or even a year or two, the siege of the city to run out of food, and finally no war and fall, in addition, there is no good policy.

(To say more, the battle of Yangzhou is more special... Shi Kefa adheres to Yangzhou, just met the God of Kong and De, the two sides launched a fierce gun battle, Kong Youde's cannon is several times that of the Ming Army, and the firepower is fierce, the power is strong, the walls of Yangzhou are still not strong enough, and finally the city is broken and dead.But if it is replaced by Nanjing, Kong Yide's red cannon is also dry eyes.)

More than two hundred years later, in the Taiping Heavenly Revolt, Hong Xiuquan's Taiping army swept south of the Yangtze River, which was invincible for a while, which was certainly because the Qing army had been rotten at that time, but there was another important reason - the Taiping Army mastered the technology of blowing the walls with coffins, and it was almost indestructible from Guangxi to Nanjing!

However, Wang Kefan's science knowledge level is limited, can only point out a general direction, the blasting technology of the Gongyi camp needs to be improved.

Black gunpowder is not a powerful tnt, with the current blasting technology of Gongyi Camp, there is no problem in blowing up the city wall of the county, the strong city of the government may not be effective, like the wall of Wuchang Province is high and thick, a coffin black gunpowder most to blow up the corner of the city wall, and if you encounter the super wall of Yanjing and Nanjing, it is almost like scratching.

Either way, it’s a great creation!

In the future battle of the camp, all the county towns, including some of the capital cities, are no longer strong fortresses, do not need to build siege equipment for a long time, do not need to pay a lot of sacrifices to the ant-attached siege city, just like the Eighth Route Army equipped with howitzers, no longer afraid of the Japanese artillery building strongholds.

"This art should not be easily revealed, otherwise it will suffer endlessly!"Wang’s tone was unusually solemn.

Wang Kefan can't help but be a treachery.

With coffin to fry the city wall, although a lot of modern science knowledge is used, but if there is a heart of people than gourd painting, puncture that layer of window paper is also very easy to imitate, if not controlled, it is easy to leak out.

According to Wang Kefan's original plan, he was ready to take Pude as the first test product and use black gunpowder in the siege war... But in this way, the friendly army will definitely find this secret, once it spread, the other troops must come to help themselves, help, or not?

If you don't help, if you don't understand it, you will definitely get sinners, and you will be a big sinner, such as Lee over them asking for their own heads, Wang Kefan really does not know how to refuse.

With help, sooner or later, the secret will be revealed, and sooner or later the Qing army will master this explosive technology... Now the Qing army is on the offensive, which is undoubtedly a tiger for them, and for the Ming Army on the defensive, it is simply worse.

More importantly, once this blasting technology is exposed, there will inevitably be corresponding defense methods, and the Gongyi Camp will lose its unique skills!

“My brother is good, so be careful!”

Wang Kefan frowned and lost in thought.This thing is very difficult, like a thief stealing a bunch of babies, but the family does not dare to reveal white.

Packing back on the way back to the city, Wang Kefan had been thinking hard, and suddenly, his eyes were shining...

When he returned to the city, he immediately told Jingliang, "Go and find the flower doctor."

...

In the autumn of the first year of Longwu, the Ming Army launched a comprehensive counter-offensive in the lake.

The loyal camp that has just been committed to the first initiative, with Li Dao, Gao Yigong, Tian Yuxiu, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Jun and other nine battalions will attack Jingzhou, fill the trenches and take the stairs, tie the sheds to dig the kiln, and attack hundreds of times.

. .

The deputy commander of the Qing army in Jingzhou was named Zheng Siwei, who was a member of the Dashun Army, and when he killed the officer at the time of the battle of Wuchang, there was a life and death enmity between the loyal camp, so he was killed and fought hard by the city, and repeatedly asked the governor of Huguang for help.

She was raised and there were no soldiers in his hands, and the situation in Wuchang Province was becoming more and more critical, so he had to ask for help from the Qing court, and six urgent documents were issued in January...

At the same time, He Tengzhao swore in Changsha to clear up, and then went north to Xiangyin, the officials of Hunan gathered to Yuezhou, and ordered Lu Ding, Wang Jincai, Ma Yulin and other ministries as the former army, together with Ma Jinzhong, Wang Kefan's part straight out of Yuezhou, attacking Linxiang, Puxiang, Xian Ning and other counties.

Former generals led by Lu Ding, he was originally the deputy commander of the supervision and discipline of Zuo Liangyu, very loyal to the Daming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu "Qingjun side" when he did not participate in the rebellion, but took the initiative to leave the left south of Changsha......, because the root is red, the position is firm, deeply trusted by He Tengzhao.

After Lu Ding arrived in Yuezhou, Liuma Dinglin Town Guarding Balingfu City, he led Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, and the Ministry of the Mariner Black Yunchang to attack Linxiang, standing in Linxiang's water gangong River without fighting and fleeing, and the Ming Army easily won.

The water army of the Song River was defeated by the black lucky, and under the corner, it had to flee to Pudi to rely on the Qing army, and the Qing army was not satisfied with the lack of troops, but did not dislike this group of water bandits, and directly included in the help of the city.

Lu Ding, after a slight rest in Linxiang, immediately led the troops into Pude, and halfway met Wang Kefan, who came to support.

Lu Ding's men are the authentic official army, Wang Kefan is a local army, Ma Jinzhong is a typical defection general, Wang Jincai is just recruited by the peasant army, these four troops together, how to look like a group of rags, each of them no one to obey anyone.

Fortunately, the Qing army in Pudi is only two or three thousand people, counting the people in the city, the water bandgage Songjiang that has just been thrown... At most, six or seven thousand people, in any case, are not the opponents of the official army, the public will be sure that it will easily win, and there is a desire for merit in each other.

"The four of us will attack Pu Wei, and we will want to gamble with you once to see who is the strongest soldier and horse!"Ma Jinzhong took the lead in provocation, and he had already looked at Lu Ding unsightly.

"Well, the four soldiers and horses each hit one, who broke the city first who is the first to work!"Wang Jin did not show weakness, his men are generals, strong combat effectiveness, more troops, is trying to make a credit to He Tengzhao to see.

"This, since you have this auspiciousness, you may wish to add another head."Lu Ding did not want to fall in front of these two thieves, not only took the challenge, but also continued to add: "I have a Western BMW, do not dare to say that walking thousands of miles, but also a rare good colt, who can first break Pu Yu, this BMW will be given to him!"

"I have a golden paint mountain armor, which is made by the famous craftsmen of Tianfu, worth five hundred gold, and give you a good idea!"Wang Jincai's mountain armor is worth five hundred and two silver coins, and everyone can't help but talk, this pair of armor is more precious than Lu Ding's BMW.

With a "snap", Ma Jinzhong shot the knife on the big case.

"I'm a Uz sword, and I'm gambling with you!"The Uz sword, the Damascus knife, is a very precious weapon in this era.

The three of them were not weak in each other, and Wang Kefan had not yet spoken, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Wang Guard, you have the least soldier, you don't have to bet."The horse was kind and advised him not to gamble.

"Well, you guys are so happy, I'll have fun."Wang Kefan touched a short-hand fire from his bosom and placed it on the big case.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Kefan purchased 150 Western fire thighs from Guangdong and bought a short-handled fire cutter by the way.Although he has been trying to exercise, compared with the martial arts of this era, martial arts is still too far away, with this fire cutter to defend.

The price of this short-handled fire be lower, but it is also a rare rare thing, looks very delicate, several generals nodded, is to recognize his bet.Wang Jincai and others were still secretly proud in their hearts, and the surname Wang was obviously lost, and they also took out a beautiful Western fire thud, and 80% of them would be cheaper.

Wang Kefan is also secretly self-calculated, a good horse, a armor, a good knife, simply tailored for themselves, this brother is really intimate...
