The wealthy family has only money, and no family will be full to support the hoarding of cotton-padded clothes.

Therefore, after harassing and harassing the rich people, the Qing army only got some 'disaster consumption' and a small amount of cotton-padded clothes.

If you want clothes, you have to go to the merchants in Nanjing to buy them.

Because of the shortage of materials in the north, it is very difficult to purchase a large number of cotton-padded clothes in the big winter, and there is no goods at all for a while.

If you want to buy it, you can only offer money to the enemy in the south. This is also a very funny thing. It is just as funny as the Qing army bought Dahua's weapons to equip itself.

In the case of the urgent need of the Qing army, those profiteers did not hesitate to drive up prices.

Usually a cotton-padded coat of 200 wen, at this time, they dared to directly offer a tael of silver, whether they like it or not.

What made the Qing army vomit blood was still to come. When they gritted their teeth and paid the deposit and waited to receive the goods, the merchants who supplied them were directly raided by Dahua's army.

Selling important military supplies to the enemy during a war can be a big or small crime.

Dahua has been selling military supplies to the Qing court, which is not a big deal.

But the military wants to be more serious, selling military supplies is also a big sin.

The reason why Hua Jun made his move this time was mainly because the military's budget was not as good as expected, so those troops also used their brains to make extra money.

So, the guy who sold cotton-padded clothes was out of luck, his house was raided, and 90% of his property was confiscated.

It can be seen from his punishment that the military did not take the sale of military supplies seriously at all.

Only 90% of the other party's property was confiscated, but there was no punishment for anyone, not even jail time.

This is blatant robbery.

The cotton-padded clothes that the Qing court had been waiting for were not received, but Tang Guozhen's army arrived.

A few days later, Tang Guozhen's army had arrived at the city of Suqian.

War is imminent.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Qing army shivered, sometimes jumping, rubbing their hands, and stomping their feet again.

Warming in this very comical way is very limited and more of a soothing effect.

They had padded coats on them, but no gloves, cloth shoes, and no socks, except that they had temporarily wrapped some cloth on their feet.

In this weather, standing for a long time still can't stand it.

Tang Guozhen couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene in the telescope.

"Let the artillery start firing and the infantry will feint. If the enemy dares to hide in the city, they will directly feign the attack and turn into a general attack. If the enemy sticks to the city wall, they will continue to kill with artillery."

Tang Guozhen ordered.

With enough ammunition, he can carry out this rogue tactics.

In fact, as long as they directly conduct a general attack, they will be able to invade the city with a high probability.

However, in order to reduce casualties, Tang Guozhen chose to suppress the enemy's morale first.

Destroy the morale of the enemy first, and then the general attack can easily defeat the enemy.

Seeing that the infantry was approaching while the Chinese army was shelling, Ah Shan yelled angrily. He could see the intention of the Chinese army.

"Let the artillery shoot at their infantry and leave the enemy's artillery alone."

There are also cannons here in Ah Shan, but the number is relatively small, only about forty.

Originally, when encountering artillery fire, the priority should be the other's artillery.

However, Ah Shan knew in his heart that his own artillery and the enemy's artillery had no advantage in shooting each other.

Instead, it is better to kill the enemy's infantry as much as possible, which is more efficient.

However, this is a very cruel order for the artillery of the Qing army.

The enemy's artillery was hitting them, but they couldn't fight back, and they went to shell the enemy's infantry.

Where is this fighting and confrontation, it is clearly exchanging life for life. Use the lives of these artillerymen for the lives of the enemy's infantry.

Because if they don't kill the enemy's artillery, the enemy's artillery will not decrease.

When the Qing army artillerymen heard this order, they almost mutinied.

Why, cooperating with your own life is worthless?

However, the artillerymen had no weapons in their hands. Under the surveillance of the supervising team, they could only obey the order and aimed their guns at the approaching Chinese troops.

The cannons sounded, and their shells began to fall on the Chinese army.

At this time, the commander of the artillery position of the Chinese army also discovered the position of the enemy's artillery.

"Prioritize attacking enemy artillery."

Their tactics are relatively regular, killing the threatening long-range artillery first.

Artillery from both sides fired, and the Qing army's artillery shells fell into the Chinese infantry phalanx, killing several soldiers.

These Chinese soldiers were a little surprised after being shelled.

They didn't understand why the enemy's artillery did not hit their own, but instead aimed at themselves. Now that he is so far away from the city wall, he cannot threaten them at all.

Although surprised and nervous, they did not move.

Those shells that look very scary are actually not very likely to be hit. Being bombarded is not as dangerous as hand-to-hand combat after going up the city wall.

"Evacuate the formation, with three steps left and right, and four steps forward and backward."

The commander of the Hua Army ordered that spreading the formations would effectively reduce losses.

Still shells fell into their phalanx, but one shell was the most

Only four or five soldiers were killed or wounded.

At the same time, the artillery of the Qing army suffered a devastating blow.

More than a hundred cannons of the Chinese army fired in salvos, and those cannonballs fell towards them like a burst of black raindrops, but these raindrops were so large that they would explode when they landed around them.

In the first round, Hua Jun was not quite accurate.

But this is normal, and the artillery of the Qing army is even more inaccurate.

Forty cannons fired in salvo, and it was a good achievement to be able to drop three or four shells into the Chinese army.

If they hit it right, the threat of forty cannons is actually quite terrifying.

Several artillery commanders of the Chinese Army checked the location of the shells through binoculars, and then instructed the gunners to adjust the angle and charge.

Immediately after that, their artillery accuracy improved a lot, and a large number of artillery shells fell on the artillery positions of the Qing army.

The artillerymen of the Qing army suffered heavy casualties immediately. Basically, one artillery shell can almost reimburse half of the Qing army's artillery group.

After this round of shelling, the Qing army's artillery lost nearly one-fifth.

If they continue to let Hua Jun continue to fight like this, they will collapse for two more rounds at most.

In fact, just this round of artillery bombardment has already caused some Qing army gunners to collapse.

"My lord, I have a shot in my hand, let me back off."

A Qing army artilleryman knelt down and begged the supervising team, and was shot by a piece of shrapnel in his arm. However, because it was far from the center of the explosion, the cotton-padded clothes on his body were thicker.

Therefore, after the shrapnel penetrates the cotton coat, there are not many parts that penetrate into the meat.

Let's say this injury is serious and serious, but if it's not serious, we can continue to fight.

"You're a little injured, keep fighting."

Said the supervising team.

"I can't even lift the shells in pain, how can I fight?"

This soldier was so angry that he couldn't retreat even if he was injured.

Doesn't this make it clear that you want to die on this battlefield, is there still humanity? Can this army survive?
