The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 281 Night Attack
The Han army charged again. During this time, it was the time when the Ming army's artillery fire was silent.

They turned around and moved forward, struggling to climb up, finally getting close to 30 meters.

"Crash!" Sure enough, a trap appeared ahead.

Fortunately, during the battle against Lushun army during this period, everyone already knew Lushun's style of play, and there was no rush to rush forward.

Not many people fell into the pit, but the team had to stop at 30 meters.

"Bang, bang, bang" the sound of the guns on the opposite side continued, and the gunmen from Lushun slammed down through the shooting holes.

Some Han soldiers fell to the ground screaming.

There were also Han soldiers who used bows and arrows to fight back, but the fortifications on the opposite side were strong, and the effect was really not good. They were all hiding in the shooting holes on the opposite side. It really depended on luck to be able to shoot the Ming army.

The two sides were in a stalemate at 30 meters, and the Han army couldn't rush through, and was completely on the side of being beaten. If we wait any longer, the Ming army's cannons will be fired again.

At this time, either continue to fill the hole with human life like playing in Jinzhou, or withdraw.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw."

He took tens of thousands of Han troops with great difficulty, but he didn't want to fall all of them here.

As soon as the sound of retreating gold sounded, the Han army, like Meng Dahe, turned around and ran away in embarrassment, and quickly retreated like a tide.

Li Yongfang counted the troops and horses. Five thousand Han troops rushed to 30 meters from the South Pass, with nearly a thousand casualties and only a little over four thousand when they returned.

All the shield vehicles remained in front, and one third of the ladder was destroyed.

Another fiasco.

Baylor immediately questioned that the loss was only 1000 people just now, and he continued to fill in the hole. The Ming army did not have a moat, so they would be able to climb the wall, and then they would be able to break through the South Pass.

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice, do you know how many alleys there are behind the wall?Let's just try to see how many soldiers, horses and artillery the Ming army still has.

Everyone was speechless, yes, what if after entering the South Gate, the inside is the same as Jinzhou, only alleys, and then the Ming army burns it?
The Ming army operated the South Gate for more than a year, longer than Jinzhou City. One can imagine how terrifying the fortifications inside would be.

They randomly selected a section of the city wall to attack, and the Ming army had cannons and blunderbuss, which proved that there were indeed a lot of Ming troops at the South Pass.

No more attacks, everyone reached a consensus.

Huang Taiji was helpless: "Surround Jinzhou, surround Ding Yi to death."

There was no objection from the crowd, but Li Sutai's eyes were also dull.

After the troops were withdrawn that day, Huang Taiji called all the civil and military ministers to discuss how to break through the Lushun defense line.

Everyone was chattering, probably meaning the same thing.

I came here in a hurry this time. I didn’t know that Lushun Dingmouse was so good at digging holes, and he didn’t bring many sacks. Next time, bring more sacks to drive Ming people to fill the hole.

Those who don't count casualties will definitely be able to fill under the city wall.

Someone immediately retorted, now we only have the people of Dajin, and the people of Ming Dynasty.

This is exactly what Huang Taiji meant. Huang Taiji attaches great importance to population and resources. If you fill up all the people, Dajin Kingdom doesn’t need to eat?

There is no need to develop.

Well, even if it is filled to the bottom of the city, the Han army must be used to attack the city with ants.

The big gold elite can't afford to lose.

That would require a large number of Han troops.

With great difficulty this time, fifty thousand Han troops were captured in the Battle of Daling River.

In the original history, the post-Jin army was powerful and the national strength was obviously improved.

But after fighting Jinzhou for a few days, they lost nearly [-] Han troops, nearly half of which were lost.

Huang Taiji was heartbroken.

Wouldn't it take [-] Han troops to come to Ant Possession next time?

Well, even if it breaks in, what happens inside the wall?

The lessons learned from the past in Jinzhou, [-] soldiers and horses attacked in, and they were all set on fire by that bastard Ding Yi.

If you break into the South Gate, who knows what's inside?
As a result of the discussion and discussion, the Jin Baylors suddenly felt that there was nothing to fight in Lushun, and it would be easier to fight Ming.

"I said a long time ago that there is no need to fight Ding Yi. A guerrilla in the Ming country, what is there to fight?" Abata suddenly reversed and began to express his opposition: "Let's fight the Ming country and capture more Ming people. And the Ming army, get more wealth and food from the Ming country."

"Lushun is so small, and Ding Yi raises so many people and soldiers. Let's see how long he can last."

Many Jin Xungui nodded, expressing Zhi's Abate's opinion.

Huang Taiji's complexion was very ugly, he was accusing him of improper command.

"He's just as powerful as a guerrilla right now. When he is promoted to the deputy general of the general army, he will have a bigger territory and more soldiers and horses. It will be a big worry for us." Dai Shan said at this time.

"Ming people are best at infighting, let's use tricks and let the emperor of the Ming army get rid of him." Someone suggested.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, and found that it was Dorgon, the young new Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Dorgon was not afraid of seeing everyone looking at him, and continued: "Yuan Chonghuan is considered powerful, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty chopped it down."

"Ming people are the best at infighting. Ding Yi is self-respecting, and his troops far exceed his official position. Why don't we use such a good opportunity?"

"We don't need to take action at that time, the Emperor Ming will take care of him."

"Little Fourteen is right." Azig immediately praised him.

Many people also nodded.

Huang Taiji also felt that what Dorgon said was a bit reasonable, but seeing that the young Dorgon was already a bit like he was back then, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

He neither approved nor opposed, and quietly looked at Jin Xungui four weeks later to see who was supporting Dorgon.

At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted.

"Report-"

"Fuzhou is broken, Fuzhou is broken."

"What?" Everyone in the big tent jumped up in shock.
-
Fuzhou was destroyed last night, and the Houjin soldiers who escaped rushed here.

The time went back to three o'clock in the middle of the night last night.

Yesterday Zhang Jingbu went to bed very early at night and got up at three in the morning.

At this time, the weather was cold and the city of Fuzhou was dead silent, and almost all the Jin soldiers who defended the city were sleeping soundly.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, the Lushun Army slowly approached the city wall of Fuzhou with a 12-pounder gun.

When 300 meters away.

Zhang Jing and Sein Fei took a telescope to watch for a while under the moonlight, making sure that someone on the city wall was awake and moving faintly.

This proves that the Jin army discipline is much stronger than the Ming army, and it was replaced by the Ming army. At this time, they basically fell asleep.

Everyone had a torch on their back, and 100 of them carried two torches, but they didn't light it first.

Everyone squatted and jogged for the first 200 meters, running for a while and stopping for a while.

After entering 100 meters, start lying on the ground.

Climb forward slowly.

Zhang Jing and Song Fei kept observing the top of the city wall. At this time, the sky was dark and they couldn't see the distance below, but there were a few lanterns on it, so they could see it.

Everyone approached the city wall quietly and cautiously. After approaching 100 meters, people on a certain section of the city wall seemed to find something and kept looking down.

"Light the fire" Zhang Jing ordered, leaving 100 people lined up to light the torches, and the people in front ran forward frantically.

The bottoms of these torches are all sharpened with iron spikes. They originally tried to insert them into the hard soil, but it turned out that it was cold in winter and the permafrost was hard, so many people couldn't insert them.

The leader of the team immediately said: "Hold them all for me, and run with me later."

"point."

All the soldiers directly lit the torches, each holding one in his left and right hands, so that it looked like there were more than 200 torches.

Immediately, more than 200 torches were seen shining brightly in the darkness on the city wall.

"There are people, there are people, the Ming army is coming." Someone shouted on the city wall, and not long after, all kinds of golden gongs sounded.

The more than 100 Ming soldiers ran to both sides of the city gate holding torches, and divided into two teams, one left and one right.

"Kill!" They yelled, more than 100 people held more than 200 torches, and after they dispersed, it seemed that there were thousands of troops.

Whoosh whoosh, someone on the top of the city immediately shoots an arrow, and shoots at the torch.

The Ming army holding torches kept changing their positions and ran forward, and some ran in an S shape, paying attention to avoiding arrows.

There are more and more defenders on both sides of Fuzhou City. Many people were awakened from sleep, and many people subconsciously followed those torches.

A Han general who was awakened came to the city wall yawning and cursing: "The Ming army is sick, so they came to attack the city so late?"

He stuck his head out and looked down, and soon realized something was wrong.

Hundreds of torches were scattered on both sides of the city gate, running forward and back.

Bows and arrows flew around the city and shot in the direction of the torches, but the effect was not very good.

Suddenly, ah, there were screams below, and torches fell to the ground.

The defenders at the top of the city were overjoyed and applauded one after another.

Archers are even more excited.
