Chapter 1637: Three Battlefields North and South (1)
What the Lu domain brought was actually a whole artillery regiment of Wusongwei.
From the orders sent by Wu Zheng, we can see that Wu Zheng did not care about whether he could immediately recover Haizhou.
What he needed was to turn Haizhou into a slug, a slug that made the Qing court exhausted, so that Wu Zheng could use surprise weapons in the direction of Sizhou.
At this time, the Qing army stationed in Haizhou lost the artillery support of the new army after Shen Zhiyuan brought the new army back to Ziyang. The two flags led by Jixiha and Lanbai and their own personal guards were mostly cavalry. Although firearms were also prepared, those firearms were a joke in front of the Wusong Guard Artillery Regiment.
Of course, Jixiha and Lan Bai can still refer to the previous battle with Qian Qiaogong and send cavalry out of the city to showdown.
But the problem is that with the support of heavy artillery, the Fenglei Battalion can be fully in line with the enemy cavalry.
It was precisely because of this that the Lu Domain dared to lead the heavy artillery regiment to meet with Qian Qiaogong first, and deployed subsequent troops on the front line of the Tieguan.
The new recruits who were supplemented by the artillery regiment, the more they were shooting, the more they were getting easier.
But the enemy troops in the city were having a hard time.
Although there are not many casualties, it is not the artillery of later generations. If you really want to hide, you can hide everywhere in the city and just enter a house, and you can feel at ease.
Anyway, all the people in the city were killed before, so I was afraid there was no place to hide?
But who can guarantee that the shells smashed outside the city will not overturn the roofs of ordinary houses in the next moment?
Haizhou City is too small. If the artillery is fired near the city gate, the shells can be spanned across the north and south gates.
Whenever I think of this, the Qing army, who was a little sleepy just now, would wake up.
It was fine on this day, two days, but five days or seven days, it really cost the Qing army its life.
So, the Qing soldiers began to connect and asked Jixiha and Lan to fight. They all said that instead of being trapped in the city and under the gun guns of the enemy's army sooner or later, it would be better to go out of the city and fight to the death.
This is true. Indeed, the Fenglei Cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army outside the city had only three or four thousand people. The previous defeat was nothing more than the carelessness of Jixiha and Lan Bai. The Qing Cavalry had the strength to fight head-on.
Of course, Jixiha and Lan Bai would never admit that they made mistakes. Their explanation to the soldiers was that Qian Qiaogong, the southern barbarian, blamed Wu Zheng, for betraying Wu Zheng, which caused only all of the spears and cavalry that originally appeared in the opponent's camp.
But that's it, Jishiha and Lan Bai have been frightened by the previous battle.
Then how is a cavalry showdown?
It was clearly a massacre!
Thinking that thousands of cavalrymen were harvested with muskets like sickles by the opponent, Jixiha and Lan Bai had no intention of leaving the city to showdown.
Yes, the battle report has been sent north, and the credit you should have been robbed has been received. The memorandum of request for help should now be placed on the dragon case in front of the emperor.
As long as the two of them guarded Haizhou and waited for the reinforcements of the court to arrive, they could reward them according to their merits. This reward was double. In addition to the one from Dorbo, Yanzhou, there was another one from the court... Tsk tsk, it was so beautiful to think about it.
But if you follow the wishes of the soldiers and go out to fight, if there is a mistake... no, no, there is a high probability that there will be a mistake. That is, you will throw the credit you have received for nothing and then give your own life... This is not cost-effective, and the benefits and losses are completely disproportionate.
Jixiha and Lan Bai then pressed their subordinates and kept promising that as long as they defended the city, everyone would get rewards and rewards when they went back!
He even fooled the soldiers, saying that the Ming army outside the city was raiding for a long distance, and there were so many artillery shells, so there were definitely not many artillery shells. If you shoot like this, it is very likely that there would be no shells in the next moment.
This calmed down the floating morale.
The two of them let out a long sigh, but they did not expect that they were slapped in the face.
Wusongwei will launch a round of artillery bombardment into the city almost every hour.
Moreover, it was the "rumbling" sound of group guns, and the "rumbling" sound of direct guns, which was the "rumbling" sound of tiger squatting cannons. Once it was fired, it would be a whole, and it would take half an hour to hit it. That thing was not something that ordinary mentally could bear.
If it weren't for Jishiha, Lan Bai ordered the city gate to be blocked, the Nancheng side would have been smashed to pieces long ago.
However, the Haizhou city wall is indeed thick, and unless a huge amount of gunpowder is buried in the corner of the city, it cannot be penetrated by artillery.
But the shock and intimidation of the cannons are beyond measure.
So, just after midnight on the sixth day of the shelling, a long-planned military rebellion occurred in Haizhou City.
The Qing army, which was warned, did not oppose the court or the prince Dorbo. They just wanted to go out of the city to fight happily, rather than staying in the city and waiting for death.
There were not many people participating in the military admonition, only more than one hundred. Originally, such a number could not get close to the temporary headquarters of Jixiha and Lan Bai.
But the problem is that these more than a hundred people came from the Central Military Camp of the two.
Fortresses are always breached from the inside, and it is said that it is difficult to defend against a thief.
Who would have thought that the Central Military Camp, which was best treated and loyal, would launch a military admonition?
Fortunately, the central army is still a bit far from the temporary headquarters, and the time for military advice is not right. They have mastered the time for the personal guard camp to change defense, but they cannot control the nightlife time of Jixiha and Lan Bai.
That night, Jixiha and Lan Bai gathered together, and were drinking and having fun.
When the military advised him, the chaos was aroused by the two of them.
The two immediately mobilized dozens of personal guards around them, and at the temporary gate, they fired scattered the "rebels" with dense muskets.
The chaotic gunfire first alarmed the personal guard camps of Jixiha and Lan Bai, and a "rebellion" was quelled.
But the question is, how to deal with dozens of "rebels" who did not die?
Kill or release, or use the excuse that the first evil has been killed, so the rest will not investigate?
Obviously, Jixiha and Lan Bai were far less generous. They were furious at the Central Military Camp and actually "rebelled". Then they ordered in unison to be executed without mercy!
Many times, a small thing can cause a big chaos.
Jishiha and Lan Bai are definitely a mindless man.
Logically speaking, in such a defensive war that is being suppressed, it is better to have less than more things. After quelling the "rebellion", the big things should be turned into small things, and the small things should be turned into difficulties.
At least, we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive and then settle these "rebels". By then, the overall situation has been decided, and even if there are dissidents, they will not be able to make any trouble.
Unfortunately, these two people must have thought of this. They believed that the "rebellion" was quelled and the situation was under their control. In the early morning, they killed dozens of "rebels" in front of many soldiers in the Central Military Camp.
At that time, there was silence in the execution ground, but anger and resentment had begun to gather.
In countless eyes, a flame of resentment was revealed, and it was burning at a glance.
