    In the first year of the puppet Zhou Dynasty and the thirteenth year of Kangmazi in the Qing Dynasty, on October 20th, at about the same time in the morning, the Wu rebel army falsely conquered the Eastern General Lu Yifeng. He personally led 24,000 Wu rebel troops and marched towards the northern Zhejiang Province controlled by the Qing soldiers.  The important town of Huzhou Fucheng launched a full-scale attack. Our Qing soldiers guarded the city. General Pingnan Laita came to the front line to supervise the formation, urging the Qing soldiers to fight bravely, shed their blood, and bravely resist the shameless attack of the Wu rebel army!

    The above are all empty words. The specific situation of the battle is like this. Fatty Lu, who has always been careful and careful, has never thought about the old methods of using ladders to attack the city and the Qing army¡¯s consumption on the city wall. Instead, he learned about Huzhou from the surrounding Huzhou people.  After the city wall was constructed with bricks and rammed earth, the southwest section of Huzhou, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was chosen as the breakthrough point. More than 200 light and heavy artillery were lined up, and the concentrated firepower was used to violently bombard the city wall with solid shells.  The hard city bricks were completely smashed, and then they were replaced with blooming shells containing three good explosives, and concentrated firepower to blast the rammed earth inside the city wall.

    As for the army, they were arranged by Fatty Lu outside the south gate and west gate of Huzhou, leaving the north and east gates for the Qing army to escape. He also sent Gao Hongchen to lead the fat man's cavalry to ambush on the only way from Huzhou to Jiaxing.  Breakout to the east.

    Facts have proved that the new siege tactics that Fatty Lu tried are indeed effective in dealing with Huzhou's brick-and-rammed-earth city walls.  Easily crush three or four city bricks, and the second shot hits this position, and these few city bricks can be completely blasted into pieces, revealing the hidden rammed earth behind them.  And more than 200 artillery pieces aimed at one position as much as possible and bombarded, seven or eight rounds of volleys were fired, and the city wall bricks about 20 to 30 meters wide were blasted into a state of sand and stone, and a huge blast was blasted on the city wall.  deep pit.

    Seeing that the time had come, Fatty Lu, who personally directed the artillery battle, decisively ordered to replace it with blooming shells, and continued to attack the city with heavy artillery.  As a result, the few lackeys of Fatty Lu next to him were puzzled, and they asked Fatty Lu one after another: "General, didn't our officers agree to open the city gate to welcome us into the city? Why are we so wasteful?"  Siege with precious ammunition? This is your usual style, General."

    "This is a rare opportunity. I have to try how effective this tactic is against the city wall." Fatty Lu replied bluntly: "We may use it when we attack Beijing in the future. The Beijing city wall also has the same structure.  Rammed earth."

    "The Beijing city wall also has such a structure?" Wang Shaobo was a little surprised, and quickly asked: "Master, when you were in Beijing, did you dig up the Beijing city wall and see it?"

    "No, a guy named Liang Sicheng told me." Fatty Lu replied casually again.

    "Liang Sicheng? What kind of official is he in Beijing? Could it be that he is also your boss?" Wang Shaobo asked pleasantly.  Fatty Lu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought that even if Liang Qichao's son wanted to be my internal assistant, he would not be born until at least a few hundred years later.

    At this time, Fatty Lu's eldest cousin, Qin Yong, had already commanded the Fatty Army's artillery team to replace all of them with blooming shells, and concentrated their firepower to continue bombarding the Huzhou City Wall. Amidst the sound of rumbling explosions, the Huzhou City Wall continued to glow, sand and gravel were flying, and the top was crumbling.  The guards of the Qing army who were so frightened that they could only fight back after being beaten on the city wall screamed and ran away from their posts. Occasionally, a few shells that were not adjusted to the height flew over the city wall and flew into the city, blowing up the residents in the city.  Not to mention, Fatty Lu's scolding was unavoidable, accusing Fatty Army gunners of being prodigal and wasting ammunition.

    Under the bombardment of such fierce fat army artillery fire, the Qing army's previous determination to defend the city had long since flew out of the sky. Before they met opponents such as Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing, all the artillery combined was not as strong as the fat army  This attack used a lot of artillery, coupled with the terrifying power of the fat man's shells loaded with three good explosives, the Qing army defending the city was even more desperate to give up any hope.  So much so that even senior generals of the Qing army like Xifu, the vice capital commander, ran to the Qing army coach Laita and screamed in despair: "General, Wu Gou's artillery is too powerful! If you keep bombing like this, don't say  If you stick to it for a long time, whether you can survive today is probably a big question!"

    Laita glared at the panic-stricken Xifu, and shouted: "Stand up straight, what are you talking about? Don't forget that you are the deputy commander of the capital with a white flag. What if you say such a thing and shake the morale of the army?"

    After scolding and scolding, Laita inevitably began to regret in his heart. He regretted not listening to Yao Qisheng's earnest words, giving up Huzhou and retreating to Hangzhou.  Repair and reinforcement, the ability to resist artillery is far above the Huzhou city wall, and it is entirely hopeful that it can compete with Fatty Lu's artillery for a long time, far better than the old city wall.It is to weaken Zhejiang Mangou. If we can rob Hangzhou City of Mangou's military equipment, food and grass, can we further weaken Zhejiang Mangou?  From now on, does the general need to worry about the threat from the southern front?  "

    Wang Shaobo was in a hurry, and when he was about to persuade him again, Fatty Lu raised his fat hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice, "It's decided, fight Hangzhou! Shaobo, you should write to Li Tianzhi immediately and tell him the next move of the main force of our army."  , Let him send a mobile army to monitor Jiaxing Mangou and protect our army's retreat!"

    "Master, the city of Hangzhou is solid, far from being comparable to Huzhou." Wang Shaobo hurriedly reminded again: "If our army can't break through the city after a long attack under the city of Hangzhou, and there is a sudden change in the rear, what should our army do?"

    "I only have half a month of food and grass, and I won't be able to attack Hangzhou within half a month. I will withdraw my troops and return to Huzhou immediately!" Fatty Lu waved his hand resolutely, and suddenly changed into a lewd smile, and said: "Besides, I will  It's time to bring my little wife back, I really don't know what she looks like, is she as beautiful as in the legend?"

    "Little wife?" Yao Qisheng was a little confused, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He just smiled and said: "General, if you want to successfully break through the strong city of Hangzhou, then the student has a plan, which may increase your chances of winning."

    "Mr. Yao please advise." Fatty Lu asked hurriedly.

    "The general broke through Huzhou today, and he will definitely capture many prisoners. Why don't the general?" Yao Qisheng said with a treacherous smile.

    "Brilliant plan!" Before Yao Qisheng could finish with a smirk, Fatty Lu applauded and said with a smile, "Erlang, immediately send someone to the captive team to recruit them to surrender, and pick out dozens or hundreds of obedient and greedy people, with good wine and good food."  welcome¡ª¡ªbut remember, don't cut their braids, and don't make them change their clothes."

    Xiao Erlang agreed, and hurried down to make arrangements, while Yao Qisheng murmured in his heart again, "This Lu Sanhao, what kind of bad water should he have in his stomach? Why did he guess what I was up to just as soon as I raised my head?"  (To be continued.
