The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 267 Golden State Meat Grinder (2)

As a person who fought against Ding Yi, Li Shutai was in charge of leading the second wave of [-] soldiers this time. He led the soldiers three miles outside the south gate of Jinzhou. shield car.

Zaba was also beside him, and he strongly demanded Daishan to play Jinzhou with Li Soltai.

Behind Zaba there are ten post-gold elites, among them are two white armors, both of whom are his confidant brothers.

The two stood on the edge of the artillery position, looking at the densely packed soldiers and horses ahead, waiting with their shield carts.

And at the front are Ming people carrying earth bags.

Boom, the Hongyi cannon quickly started to fire, and huge shells flew towards Jinzhou City.

There was no movement above Jinzhou City, and no figures could be seen moving.

Whoosh, shells flew over the city wall.

There were also shells that slammed into the wall, leaving a crater.

Li Soltai watched the cannon keep firing, with a depressed expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zaba asked subconsciously.

"The Hongyi cannon can defend the city, but it can't attack the city." Li Shitai shook his head: "Unless it is pushed closer, it can attack the city gate like Ding Yi."

But their Hongyi cannons are too heavy, weighing several thousand catties, and there are countless pits in front of them, so it is impossible to push them up.

"There will always be an effect, the Ming army dare not probe." Zaba said: "Will the city wall be knocked down if it is bombarded too much?"

"This cannon has too many wounded cannons, so it's best to fire at critical times." Li Sutai said.

Zaba nodded half-understood. He had been with Li Sutai for a long time, and he realized that this man was smarter and capable, and he could work with Ding Yi.

It's a pity that Li Soltai's position is too low, and it is impossible to have the right to speak in Daikin.

While the two were chatting, thousands of people in front of them were already carrying sandbags filled with soil and started to fill the ditch.

Ding Yi was wearing iron armor and holding a telescope. He was huddling behind a pile of sandbags at the top of the city to look down the city.

He fights differently from other Ming troops and doesn't like to raise flags.

People who fought in ancient times liked to put up flags. One is to gather troops, the other is to show the leader of the army, and the third is to tell everyone that the flag is there.

But usually the flag is cut off, which can easily affect the morale of the army.

The flag of Lushun is written all over Ding Yi's city wall.

Others only know that it is Lushun soldiers and horses, but they don't know who is in command here.

Today was the first time he wore iron armor, mainly because he was afraid of death.

After putting it on, I found it very heavy.

No wonder the soldiers were complaining incessantly during training.

He looked through the binoculars, and the first wave of the post-Gold Army used ordinary people to fill in the ditch along the way.

Soon entered within three miles.

Mao Xin immediately asked, whether to shoot or not?

"Fight." Ding Yi did not hesitate, I want to let Huang Taiji know that there is no one in this world that Ding Yi dare not fight.

As long as I can win, I will do whatever it takes.

Within two miles of "boom", Jinzhou's 24-pound iron cannon fired quickly.

Both sides were bombarding, and Huang Taiji soon discovered that their bombardment was of little use.

It's useless to hit the city wall with one or two cannonballs. It's all luck to hit the crenel.

Fifty Hongyi cannons fired two rounds, and only one of a hundred shells hit the sandbags on a bunker.

After the city fell, the Jin army cheered in unison.

But seeing the cannonball roll down quickly.

The sandbag didn't seem to respond.

Soon the artillery said that it would stop for a while, and the artillery should cool down.

Huang Taiji had no choice but to say, don't fire the cannon for now, I don't think it's useless.

When he attacked Dalinghe, the city of Dalinghe was not well built, and its defense was not as strong as that of Jinzhou. After firing a few rounds of artillery, it was useless.

Later, the Ming army was hit with cannons, and it was immediately useful.

Therefore, Huang Taiji was not very optimistic about attacking the city with artillery.

Some people suggested that all of them gather to attack the city wall. Jinzhou is a city surrounded by bricks, and there may be a chance to collapse it.

The artillery said that it would take a lot of cannonballs, and they were afraid that the cannons would not be able to support it.

Huang Taiji convened the artillerymen who accompanied the army. The artillerymen thought about it and said that firstly, the distance is too long, so the cannons may not be able to hit them. Second, if they want to collapse the city walls, they need a lot of shells. The Hongyi cannons cannot support them. If there are hundreds of cannons You can try it.

Huang Taiji had no choice but to forget.

In the Battle of Dalinghe, he also used artillery to defeat the Ming army. Thinking about it now, it was only useful to fight soldiers, and it seemed useless to hit the city walls.

Hou Jin stopped here, but Ding Yi didn't stop.

There are currently thirty 24-pound iron cannons in Jinzhou City.

The artillerymen are all Xilao after more than a year of training, and their overall quality is much better than that of Houjin's gunners.

Bang, shells fell into the crowd.

Puchi, human life is worthless here, one shot can tear up a lot of lives.

Soon the entire battlefield began to be filled with various screams and cries.

The people of Houjin rushed forward crying and shouting, and some people were cursing, scolding the Ming army in Jinzhou.

Damn it, he even beats his own people, it's inhumane.

The population of Jinzhou is too dense, and Jinzhou's cannons don't need to be aimed too accurately. When a shell goes in, first the people in front are shredded, and then they bounce on the ground, passing all the way, shredding all life on the road.

Often a shot can hit a bloody path of more than ten meters, or even twenty meters.

The people of Houjin fell down in groups and wailed.

In the past, when the Jin soldiers attacked the city, they all pushed the shield chariot, which was not so dense.

Right now, these people are not covered, and they are very dense, and the casualties are very heavy.

From three miles away to two miles away, Jinzhou City fought four rounds. In the first wave of 500 people, at least [-] people were killed and injured.

The scene was horrible, with people and corpses all over the ground.

Hiss, Li Sutai, who was watching from behind, gasped. He turned his head and found that Zaba was also looking at him in disbelief.

"Ba..." Huang Taiji whipped the whip hard, the horse moved a few times on the spot, his face was stern, and he said angrily: "If Lushun's Ming army is not eliminated, it is simply unreasonable."

Everyone knows what he means by that.

Dajin has been dealing with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and most of the civil and military personnel of the Ming Dynasty have a little bottom line. They think that the heaven is a state, and they can't do many things.

But Ding Yi in front of him seemed to have nothing he couldn't do.

A person who does everything he can to win at all costs is the most terrifying.

The effect of the first wave of filling the pits was very poor. Two thousand civilians were killed by cannons and around five hundred were injured, and most of the sandbags they were carrying fell to the ground halfway or turned over on the ground.

Some people even fell to the ground casually without even seeing the pit, and their hearts and souls were already shaken by the artillery fire.

In the end, I don't know who took the lead. With a scream, a large number of people frantically turned around and ran back. Many people didn't even want sandbags.

Abatai watched from behind, and suddenly became furious. He raised his hand and signaled the archers to shoot these people back.

"Wait." Huang Taiji immediately stopped.

Viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he quickly ordered: "Shut all the people who ran back to Sanli, behead, behead, show the Ming army and the people."

"Ah" Abata immediately organized his troops.

Soon, hundreds of Jin soldiers surrounded this group of people, and then dragged them to the city of Jinzhou in batches.

Puchi puchi, cut off their heads one by one.

The scene suddenly felt like a prison.

The other people behind were trembling.

Every time a batch was cut, someone came out and shouted: "See if you don't see it, I'm afraid of dying, and those who don't fill the hole well will be chopped off."

"Either be shot to death, or be chopped down, it depends on you."

"After filling the pit, you can come back and take a rest."

Many people cried, hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

Think about it, everyone, if you can fill the hole with all your strength, you can live a little longer.

Almost all of these people were from Gaizhou before. When Ding Yi wanted to take them away, they all chose to stay.

Now presumably many people have begun to regret it.

But in this world, there is no regret medicine.

Sometimes you make a wrong decision and you have to accept the punishment yourself.

Huang Taiji stared at Jinzhou City, but he saw that there was no sound at all in Jinzhou City, and there were almost no people in sight.

He became inexplicably irritable.

In the past, when they beheaded Ming people in large numbers, the Ming army at the top of the city would yell at them.

But the current Lushun Army didn't even make a sound, it was eerily quiet.

They were far away and blocked by a large number of sandbags, so of course they couldn't see or hear them.

At this time, on the top of the city, officers at all levels of the Lushun Army were lecturing.

"On the battlefield, you will die and live, there is nothing to hesitate."

"The relatives and friends of the brothers are all in Lushun."

"We defend our family, we defend our friends, no matter what enemies we have, we have to kill them all."

"Kill." The officer raised his knife and shouted.

"Kill." There was a roar on the city wall, and the voice finally reached the opposite side.

"Kill, kill, kill."

"Kill, kill, kill."

The murderous aura rushing towards his face, along with the mighty voice, came to Houjin Formation from a distance.

The Han soldiers standing at the forefront were in a commotion, and everyone was moved.
