Chapter 545: Restoring Fuzhou for the Moon
The executioner cut more than a thousand knives a day before Shi Lang died.
The people were very excited throughout the process and kept cheering loudly.
Geng Jimao was in a diarrhea on the second day. He fainted at one point and was then awakened by the executioner with water, enduring the pain to the greatest extent.
The Shang family's father and son could not escape Lingchi's fate, and they swallowed in great pain.
There were Lingchi dramas for four consecutive days, and the people were very satisfied.
Compared with beheadings, Lingchi is indeed more suitable for the people to observe punishment.
After all, the beheading hand fell down, and his head fell off with a snap.
And Lingchi can be cut for a whole day!
After this punishment, the warning significance of the court has been achieved. I believe that the people will hate traitors even more.
Two flowers bloom and each stands for one branch.
However, Li Laiheng waited for Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong began to march towards Fujian and Guangdong.
Li Dingguo entered Guangdong through Ganzhou, Li Laiheng and Zheng Chenggong entered Fujian through Xianxia Pass.
The army passed by in a mighty manner, and the momentum was naturally quite powerful.
The Qing soldiers stationed in Xianxia Pass were so scared that they were so scared that they were urinating.
There are only two thousand defenders in Xianxia Pass. Even though they have terrain advantages, they are not worth mentioning in the face of the absolute gap in military strength.
All the Qing soldiers had almost no hesitation and immediately chose to run away!
At this time, as long as the head is not kicked by the donkey, you will never choose to stay and resist!
No matter how you look at two thousand people against tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to win!
The other party doesn’t even have to do anything. As long as one spits out, they can drown them alive!
After taking down Xianxia Pass without bloodshed, the Ming army went south along the way and took over the Fujian prefectures.
Along the way, they encountered no resistance, only when they arrived in Fuzhou, they saw a city with a tightly closed gate.
After discussing with Zheng Chenggong, Li Laiheng immediately chose to bombard the city gate with artillery.
Compared with a few years ago, the biggest improvement of this Ming army is the firearms.
Needless to say, the Kuidong tribes benefited from the emperor, and the improvement of firearms was also visible to the naked eye.
Not only muskets, but also cannons have been raised to an unattainable level.
The Geng family, who has always been proud of their firearms, is only envious of the Shang family.
The Ming army bombarded Fuzhou city with a riot.
Not only was the city gate tower blown up, but even the marching gate was damaged.
It was difficult for the Qing soldiers to raise their heads, let alone counterattacking.
Under the suppression of powerful firepower, Zheng Chenggong and Li Laiheng ordered the army to attack the city in an all-round way.
Since the other party refused to surrender, they taught these miscellaneous things to be human.
Soon the Ming army charged to the moat.
It is not difficult to successfully cross the river under the cover of strong firepower.
Soon the Ming army built a floating bridge and rushed over the floating bridge.
With the loud rumbling sound, the Ming army quickly laddered the cloud ladder on the city wall and climbed towards the city as fast as possible.
In order to prevent accidental injury, Zheng Chenggong and Li Laiheng have ordered the stop of bombardment.
The Qing soldiers were finally able to stand up and resist.
But when they actually operated, they found that it was obviously not as beautiful as they thought.
The number of Ming soldiers was too large, with wood rolling stones and even tung oil, and arrows were not enough.
The strong suppression of the Ming army made them breathless.
They just pressed down on this side, but their heads emerged from the other side.
The Qing soldiers were overwhelmed with sweat.
Some of the Ming army had already climbed to the top of the city.
It is roughly estimated that the Ming army sent 70,000 to 80,000 people in this siege, while the Qing army guarding the city had only 10,000 people.
The strength of the offensive and defensive sides was seriously unbalanced, so the Qing soldiers were struggling to be disconnected.
After climbing to the city, the Ming army further expanded its advantages and did not give the Qing army any chance at all.
There is a way that cannot be kept in one place, and cannot be kept in every place.
After the Ming army climbed to the city wall to gain control, the Qing soldiers were destined to have no possibility of defending Fuzhou.
The Ming army killed the generals with a rainbow of momentum, and the Qing soldiers could only passively choose to retreat.
As we retreated, the inner city was lost, as we retreated, as we retreated, and as we retreated, the inner city was lost.
The Qing soldiers, helplessly, chose to gallop down the horse path and retreat to the city to escape.
Even if they were fighting street fights with the Ming army, they would never surrender.
Because they were all Geng Jimao's confidants, they knew very well that even if they surrendered to the Ming army, they would not forgive them.
Since this is the case, we will naturally fight to the last moment, so we will put on a few more cushions.
...
...
After the Ming army controlled all the city gates, Li Laiheng and Zheng Chenggong chose to enter the city.
According to the personal soldiers, they learned that the Qing soldiers who fled now have basically gathered at the front line of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, and have built a simple line of defense here to resist stubbornly.
Zheng Chenggong and Li Laiheng naturally did not hesitate at all when they heard this and immediately sent a large army to encircle and suppress them.
To eliminate all evil, there is no sympathy for such evil people who are deeply sinful.
When the main force of the Ming army arrived in front of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, they found that the Qing soldiers piled up a tall chest wall with sandbags and stones in front of the gate.
From this point of view, their ideas are still very clear.
If the Qing army retreated to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, they would be truly waiting for death.
Once the royal palace is surrounded, it is only a matter of time before the Ming army breaks into the wall.
Even the outer city and the inner city cannot be defended. How could this Qing army defend the Jingnan Prince's Mansion?
There is still a little chance to build a chest wall at the gate to try it out.
But this opportunity is only theoretical. As long as the Ming army does not make mistakes, the Qing soldiers can only wait for death.
Facing the intensive defense of the chest wall, the role of the cannon is reflected.
With the order of Li Laiheng, the artillery bombarded together.
The picture is simply too beautiful.
For a moment, his chest wall was smashed to pieces, and the Qing soldiers hiding behind were instantly crushed into meat paste.
Even fragments of the flowering bullet pierced into the Qing soldiers' bodies and they rolled all over the ground.
The Ming army only took less than a moment to smash the carefully constructed defense line of the Qing army.
It can only be said that in the face of the general trend, any negative resistance is not worth mentioning.
After a long blast, the Qing soldiers had completely lost their ability to resist.
At this time, the Ming army launched a charge.
Although the Ming army was sure to win this battle, Li Laiheng and Zheng Chenggong were not careless at all.
They want to ensure that they take Fuzhou at the lowest cost.
After all, the lives of soldiers are very precious, so it would be better to reduce some casualties.
The Ming army's charge was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The Ming army crossed the chest wall and chopped off at the scattered Qing soldiers.
The Qing soldiers had completely lost confidence and ran away and had no desire to resist.
For the Ming army, all they had to do was to chase after him and chop him to reap his life.
This was simply a simple thing. They ended the battle in less than half an hour.
