Chapter 328 Tongzhou has arrived, is Yanjing still far away?

Dorgon's proposal caused a turbulence in Yanjing City, and the expansion of the Eight Banners of Han was not an expansion of one or two Niulu, but an expansion of one or two hundred Niulu, and it was a continuous expansion.

This is going to make a big deal.

There are only 200 Niulus in the Mongolian military flags, and only 300 Niulus in the eight banners added together. The Han military flag is not weaker than the Mongolian military flag, and it is now more than doubled...

Without thinking, you can know that the Han military flag will greatly increase in the future in the political arena of the Qing Dynasty.

The news was delivered to Haoge in the blink of an eye. The latter also had countless thoughts in his heart, but they were all suppressed for the time being. The war is the most important thing now!

He must admit that Dorgon's move is really wonderful.

——This is forcing the Han people who were included in the Han army flag to fight to the death with Zheng Zhilong and to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

"The fate of our Qing Dynasty will be here to fight whether it exists or dies!"

Haoge did not play with the vain anymore, so he summoned the generals and spoke loudly straight to the point.

On a finely made military map, there were large red marks in both southeastern Tongzhou. All the Qing army officers were staring at the two thick red arrows, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn.

"There are no ones here who are not on the flag. You all know how much Zheng thieves hate the flagmen." During this period, most of the senior officials of the green flag surrendered to the country, such as Xu Dingguo, Liu Zeqing and others who had been incorporated into the Eight Banners of Han, or those like Zu Kefa and Ke Yongsheng who surrendered to the Tatars before entering the pass.

Everyone is a bannerman and Zheng Zhilong's mortal enemy.

There is nothing wrong with Hauge's words.

"So everyone still forgets those annoying thoughts that shouldn't have."

You have no way out. Liu Liangchen can still escape south, because he has a big brother in the south, and because they have escaped early. What about now? The road to the south of Tongzhou City has long been blocked by Zheng Jun. Who can escape?

"The battle in Tongzhou will allow the Southern Barbarians to see how powerful our Eight Banners warriors are! They will also fight for their own future. The Regent has already given an explanation for any brave battle. No matter how high or low a person is, they will raise the flag."

Even if it was just the Han military flag, it was a great honor in the Qing Dynasty. You must know that in the original time and space, the famous Nian Gengyao was also a Baoyi slave.

At this moment, Haoge really felt that Dorgon's massive expansion of the Han military flag was a clever trick.

As long as people are included in the Eight Banners, it is forcing the Han people to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it is inevitable that a scum like Liu Liangchen is also a must, but it is always better than it is now.

Everyone went out with bloody faces, as if they were not showing off Zheng Jun, and Haoge also put on a sturdy armor.

At the same time, the Zheng army with high morale was already forcing outside Tongzhou City. Zheng Hongkui led his troops to the south, and Zheng Zhilong led his main force to the east - at least 30,000 troops, arranged outside Tongzhou City.

A cannon was dragged behind the team, pulling far away.

All the cattle in the team were used to pull cannons, as well as horses, donkeys and mules.

Although I was walking on the official road, I could have five kilograms of cannons and some eight kilograms, and even the two or three thousand kilograms behind the cannon cart, which was too heavy. Each door needed to be pulled by two oxen and four mules and horses to make the movement speed of the cannons keep up with the speed of the infantry.

The artillery troops quickly set up cannons, and another group of guards chose the right place and began to build artillery positions. The saying that there were many people and strong forces was absolutely correct. When the Zheng army first pulled thirty five-jin cannons aimed at Tongzhou City and bombarded violently, each artillery position had been built, and the eight-jin cannons and five-jin cannons quickly advanced into the artillery positions.

The Qing army was under even greater pressure. The Qing army, which had always insufficient cannon production, had only a few twenty or thirty heavy firepower arranged in Tongzhou City. After all, the Yanjing City behind it was also the focus.

How can this firepower fight the Zheng army?

Thankfully, Haoge didn't think so at all.

The strong chest walls built either collapsed with a bang or were already shaking under the impact of iron bombs.

However, it is absolutely impossible to chew the Tartars' positions by relying solely on bombardment from cannons.

They would not fight Zheng Jun head-on. To be honest, although Zheng Zhilong pulled up such a large musket team, how many times have the platoon-killing squads appeared in his time travel in the past few years?

No one is a fool, no one will be able to argue with him clearly, but he still has to fight with him.

Especially the Tartars who regard their own people as treasures.

If they were so ill, after the old slave died of illness, they should have launched a large army to attack Ningyuan City for the second time.

Zheng Zhilong was prepared for this.

The first is the shield car, a modified large shield car. Although it still cannot withstand the bombardment of the Red Cannons, at least the Fran machine cannons, small cannons, and even the shotguns fired by the Red Cannons are not afraid of them.

One or two hundred shield cars were pushed out together. Even if the Qing army's cannons were to be bombarded, it would be impossible for them to hang down halfway, right?

Moreover, the effective range of the front-mounted smoothbore cannon is not much higher than that of the rifled rifle, and the accuracy is even less than that of the rifled rifle. Even these improved heavy shield cars were all bombarded halfway, and they are also the cover of snipers.

The second move is to dig soil and dig trenches forward. According to his vision, it can refer to Li Yunlong's trench bombing tactics in the sword.

When I was in Cangzhou, I had already proved the correctness of the bomb drop tactics. At most, I had a stalemate first.

The Qing soldiers would definitely find the trench and would definitely drop bombs to stop them. But as far as he knew, the Tartars had not specially trained to drop bombs, and on the contrary, the latter was one of the subjects of Zheng's new recruit training.

Zheng Zhilong is confident enough to deal with Haoge's iron barrel array, it only takes some time.

His time is really tight now, because he didn't know when Ajige's horse army would return to the rescue from outside the pass. But in three or two days, he could still afford to spend some time under the city of Tongzhou.

Handfuls of iron shovels were held in the hands of Zheng Jun, and they wanted to dig out a trench leading to the Qing army's front in the shortest time.

So, when the sound of artillery began, when the artillery positions began to be built, they had already begun.

Ten trenches were launched in the wide battlefield. Just like the pharaoh snake, it spread rapidly towards the Qing army's positions.

Haoge stood on the city gate tower in Tongzhou, and saw everything outside the city clearly under the telescope. However, his eyes were attracted by shield cars and scattered musketeers.

"Tell Buckhouse. He wants to break all the shields of Zheng Jun, and I will reward them with ten thousand taels of silver."

However, Haoge did not feel any fatal threat to Zheng's army's digging of trenches.

Even the Qing army on the front line focused all their eyes on the shield car.

The Tartars are so familiar with it.

The entire Ming and Qing War was ultimately a battle between the thick shield chariots of the Tartars and the inferior and unqualified firearms of the Ming army. The shield chariots were a first-class threat in the eyes of the Tartars.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the most cutting-edge trenches outside Tongzhou City, a faint cold light appeared on the body of the ashes of blue cannons, as if they could sway people. Several red cannons were hidden in it.

It is no different from the arrangement of Zheng Zhilong when he fought against the Relanzha Castle. It is a large concave circle, three or two meters in a radius, and the depth is not as deep as the wheels of the cannon truck. You can imagine the semi-basement in later generations. A few cannons will sit inside it.

The hot shells squirted out, and dazzling meteors slid past, accompanied by the deafening sound, and there must be a stream of gunpowder rising.

Zheng Jun was doing his best to fire the artillery, and they were even more firing it with all their might. If it was pushed in front of the shield, then the one who greeted them would be Zheng Jun's grenade gun.

In midsummer, the wind outside Tongzhou City could not blew away the smoke from the sky, because the smoke had just been swept away, and the smoke had risen from the battlefield again.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

"Boom boom boom boom--"

With the completion of one artillery position after another, with the Zheng army's cannons in place, the Qing army's artillery fire was completely crushed.

Buckhouse was the most unlucky. For the heavy reward given by Hauge, he rushed to the front line regardless of the danger, set the distance and aiming angle himself, and wanted to fart and knock out all the shield car groups across the opposite side.

But it's useless. He never thought that Zheng Zhilong was going to crush this time.

After the Qing army showed up several artillery guns on the front line, he ordered the artillery positions to be divided into one by one, aiming at them. As long as there was smoke from the other side, he would stare at them and attack.

He didn't believe that so many cannons would be concentrated, so few blind cats could hit dead mice.

Of course, there was a collision. Buckhouse was the victim. Although he was not cut off his head by the shells and did not encounter a drug powder bucket, the fragmented cannon truck almost killed his life.

When the whole person was lifted out, it was like a hedgehog, with wooden thorns on his body.

Haoge's face dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Leng Sengji, who was commanding on the front line, looked even whiter, his lips were pursed tightly, and the telescope held in his hand was almost deformed by him.

He could see clearly that the shells on the opposite side were hitting, and although most of them were lost, he was always lucky. An iron bullet hit the cannon truck straight, smashing the bulky cannon truck, and the cracked wood and smashed it to pieces, killing several surrounding gunners. The gun barrel of the general's cannon was completely churned by the collision, and then it fell heavily to the remains of the cannon truck...

"Call me, keep hitting-" Rong Bao roared and roared.

Zheng Jun had a lot of shield cars on the opposite side, so he would reimburse him with a cannon.

Of course he was angry, and he could only be angry. What else could he do besides this?

"Boom boom boom boom--" Another round of artillery strikes.

At this time, the Qing army's cannons were not affected, but the chest wall in front of the cannon position hit one after another, and the shells were hit by dust.

"Dong--" A loud collision sound came from Shi Lang not far away, and cracked pieces of wood splashed everywhere. As the shield cart approached, the Qing army's firepower became more and more fierce.

Not only the Red Cannons, but also the Big Fran machine cannons and other things opened fire.

With a scream, he turned to look, but saw a phantom swaying from his forehead. With Shi Lang's reaction, he could not dodge at all. Then he felt a heat on his forehead, and a stream of blood had dripped to the corners of his eyes...

"Ah, General!" The personal soldiers beside him were shocked and hurriedly carried the shield to snatch Shi Lang's head.

"It's okay!" Shi Lang wiped his forehead, the small wound, don't look at the blood emitting. "Go and tell your brothers, push harder, the sooner you reach the Tartar position, the safer we will be."

Big Fran machine cannons, small Fran machine cannons, Weiyuan cannons, etc., no matter how powerful they are, they are also cannons. If they hit more often, they will smash the baffle in front of the shield.

"Push, keep pushing hard. Everyone is working harder. Tongzhou is here, is Yanjing still far away?" Shi Lang turned around and shouted at the soldiers pushing the shield cart in front. The large shield cart of Zheng Jun could be pushed up in three or five people, but the improved shield cart was pushed by ten people, and it was still as slow as a snail.
