Nanming Yiming

Chapter 184

If it is during the day, the Ming army can also plug this gap by increasing its troops.But now that the lights are in the dark, the Ming army has no time to stop the breakthrough of the Qing army.

Moreover, these Manchurian Eight Banners are wearing heavy armor, and sometimes they have to be shot twice before they can fall down.

In fact, there is no need to aim at this time, as long as you fire at the front, someone will be shot.

Fortunately, these Qing troops did not understand the structure of the bastion, and the darkness also restricted their movements. After groping for a while, they found that the slope was the only way to attack the bastion.

At this time, a Ming army shouted: "He Qianhu's Qing army has too many people. We have no time to shoot. I'm afraid they will attack the first bastion on the city in a short time."

At this time, the Qing army who had climbed up the slope quickened their pace, even though their companions were constantly being shot and killed by the Ming army's Lumi blunderbuss, even they couldn't see the road ahead.But when they thought about attacking the bastion, they were still full of enthusiasm and seemed extremely excited; they roared like wild animals and waved the weapons in their hands, as if they were already invulnerable, and they were not afraid of the Ming army's firecrackers.

He Zhiyuan knew that he could no longer hesitate at this time, so he said, "Put down the boulder on the slope."

Having received the order, the Ming army quickly pulled out the wooden drawer that was placed underneath, and then only heard a loud noise, and the boulder slowly fell down the slope.

Although the vision was poor at night, the movement caused by the rolling boulder still made them feel a great sense of oppression. Any fool knew that it was the Ming army who pushed the stone down the slope.

A heavy boulder with a diameter of several meters, like a meteorite from the sky, rolled down the steep slope and hit heavily on the soldiers of the Qing army climbing up the slope.

In the face of a boulder weighing several tons, it will not help you to wear several layers of heavy armor.The Qing army in front wanted to run back, but was blocked by the Qing army behind. As a result, the Qing army was directly crushed into meatloaf by the boulder.

The Qing army, who had been extremely excited just now, was now full of panic, and there were panic and screams on the entire slope.Fortunately, it was night, otherwise the bloody and miserable scene would have been unbearable to look at.

This boulder rolled down the slope all the way, and after crushing countless Qing troops, it directly hit the wall of the bastion heavily. The Ming troops on the city suddenly felt the ground tremble, as if there was an earthquake.

Fortunately, the walls here are specially thickened, otherwise, if they were hit by this boulder, they might break the city directly.I saw that the boulder was bounced back by the city wall, and finally blocked at the bottom of the slope.

The Ming army who recovered quickly opened fire on the Qing army below the city. For a while, the city was full of mourning and blood.This round boulder was so smooth that it was impossible for the Qing army to climb it directly.

But I have to say that these Manchurians are really crazy. As more and more people were shot and killed under the boulder, they actually used the corpses to build a corpse ladder, trying to step on the corpses to climb the slope and continue to attack the city.

However, the difficulty of this kind of climbing is too great. With the firing density of the Ming army, it is impossible for them to succeed, which is nothing more than increasing casualties; One place was killed.

It has to be said that the intensity of the battle tonight is unprecedented, that is to say, the white-robed troops stationed at the bastion are all veterans of the original Chongming Battalion.If it is replaced by other Ming army, it may not be able to persist at this level. Even the Lumi blunderbuss have scrapped more than 100 shots.

The battle lasted all night, with the sound of gunfire and screams one after another, making people shudder.As the night gradually dissipated, the sky gradually brightened, and a ray of sunlight shone on the earth, dyeing the battlefield a warm golden color.

Although the gunpowder smoke from the battlefield has dissipated, the bloody smell that comes with the wind makes people feel sick.Fighting in the dark all night is like opening a blind box. Now looking around, there are corpses of Qing soldiers in front of the slope, under Lingbao and in the moat.Originally, I thought that the Qing army would attack fiercely in this frontal route, but I didn't expect that the other routes were also filled with corpses. The Qing army really came here desperately.

He Zhiyuan was also afraid for a while. He didn't expect that the Qing army would take advantage of the dark night to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, and almost attacked the bastion. If it weren't for those few round boulders, the result would be hard to say.

It's only been one day since the war started, and he has already used this trump card.

The consumption last night was too great. Since the enemy could not be seen clearly, if there was any disturbance in the city, the Ming army would shoot, and they often fired repeatedly, so that there were many blood holes in the corpses of some Qing soldiers.

The consumption of ammunition in the Ming army was five times the normal amount. Although there were only more than 5 scrapped firecrackers, many Lumi blunderbusses were close to being scrapped.If the Qing army continued to attack the bastion during the day, he wondered if he could still withstand it?
In the camp of the Qing army, Hauge let out a hysterical roar!

The casualties of the Qing army last night were really too great. A total of 9000 people were killed in the Manchurian Xianglan Banner, and as many as 6000 people were killed even in the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han army that cooperated.

The 2 inlaid blue flags can be used as the bottom of Haoge's belongings, and nearly half of them were reimbursed last night. How could he not be angry?
Hauge roared angrily: "Order the whole army to dispatch. Today, I must take down this fortress of the Ming army for me. Even if I fill it with corpses, I must fill it up for me."

Hauge's words frightened Ma Guozhu on the side. Last night, the Qing army lost 15000 Manchu and Han Eight Banners.

So he looked at Fan Wencheng at the side, his pleading eyes clearly said: "Mr. Fan, you must stop this lunatic Haoge, Daqing's family is running out, can't stand his troubles like this?"

Fan Wencheng understood that Hauge was going to put all his eggs in one basket. If the news of this defeat spread to Beijing, Dorgon would definitely attack Hauge, and he would be imprisoned at least, or executed at worst.

But according to the current situation, even if they captured this bastion of the Ming army today, it would still be of no avail. They would definitely not be able to continue to break through the canal, let alone take back the Songer Mansion.

He said slowly: "Prince Su is also a veteran on the battlefield. You should know the reason why the commander cannot send troops out of anger. You must know that even if we capture this fortress, it does not mean that we can break through the defense line of the Ming army. There are 4 more behind the Canal of the Fortress?"

Fan Wencheng's words made Hauge feel deeply desperate. Even if he conquered this small fortress at any cost today, he has no power to continue to advance. In Dorgon's eyes, this is still an out-and-out battle. defeat.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Forget it, he, Hauge, can't ruin all the elites of the Qing Dynasty here for his own self-interest.

So Hauge ordered the Qing army to station on the canal line to prevent the Ming army from capturing Changzhou and threatening Nanjing!
When Hauge was at a loss here in the canal, the other Qing army reported successes frequently.

Nikan, king of Jingjin County, led 13000 Manchurian red flags and 17000 green battalions to the south to contain the Ming army.Originally, he was just a partial teacher on this road, but he didn't expect that the Ming army in Chizhou Mansion and Ningguo Mansion didn't have much resistance at all.

After the Qing army went south from Taiping Mansion, they regained Tongling and Qingyang counties one after another. Even Guichi, the prefecture of Chizhou, was quickly captured by the Qing army.Then Nikan sent his troops to the east and entered the territory of Ningguo Mansion, and the result was like breaking through, conquering Nanling and Jing County one after another.

The successive victories made the Qing army become arrogant, and the general Wu Hai came to attack Xuancheng, the capital of Ningguo, with 5000 green battalions.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army in Xuancheng did not collapse immediately, but dealt them a heavy blow.The Ming army took advantage of the range of the Lumi blunderbuss to directly attack the Qing army. Wu Hai and others pushed the chariot and stormed for a day. Instead of filling the moat and attacking the top of the city, they lost 1000 troops.

He soon realized that the Ming army might be about to defend Xuancheng to the death, so he said to his opponent, "Hurry up and ask Samuel for help."

At this time, Samuel was leading 3000 Manchurian flags inlaid with red flags to support Wu Hai. The Ming army in the Southern Expedition was basically defeated in one battle, running faster than rabbits, and he also found it very boring.

Hearing that the Ming army defended Xuancheng to the death, he was not worried but happy. The Manchurian warriors under his command finally had a place to use, so he said: "Order to step up the march and hurry to Xuancheng!"

Because of Li Bai's phrase "I never tire of looking at each other, only Jingting Mountain", Jingting Mountain has since become the symbol of Xuancheng. At this time, Huang Yu was leading the Shenji Battalion to wait for the Qing army here.

Jingting Mountain is the only way to Xuancheng. Sure enough, not long after, the Qing army led by Samuel appeared on the path between the mountains.

Following Huang Yu's order, dozens of tigers crouched and roared down the mountain.The sudden attack caused the Qing army to be in chaos, and the blast of shells even knocked Samuer off his horse.

Soon Salmu found another horse and shouted: "The Ming army is in ambush, hurry up and rush out with me."

The idea is very good, but the reality is very skinny. Jingting Mountain has a whole 8000 Shenji Battalion; the road ahead is full of big trees felled by the Ming army and boulders pushed down from the mountain, making it impossible for cavalry to pass.

Soon the Qing army dismounted and fought on foot, and the most elite white armored soldiers and red armored soldiers of General Salmu formed a death squad in an attempt to open the gap.

These Eight Banners soldiers in heavy armor were constantly attacked by the Lumi guns of the Ming army when they were struggling to overcome obstacles, and many of them were covered with blood holes.

After these hundreds of elites fell, Salmu finally realized the reality that they couldn't get out at all.

He was a little annoyed, he was dazzled by the victory in the early stage, and unexpectedly rushed into the ambush circle of the Ming army.It's too late to regret now, and he can only hope to persist until dark, so that he can use the night to protrude from a mountain top.

At this time, King Nikan of Jingjin County was in Nanling County of Ningguo Prefecture, waiting for the news that the Qing army had recovered Xuancheng.Unexpectedly, first came the news that Wu Hai's 5000 Green Battalion was blocked from attacking Xuancheng, and then came the news that Samuel's 3000 red flags were surrounded by the Ming army at Jingting Mountain.

This gave him a sense of danger. It seemed that the Ming army had finally made a move. Are they planning to fight him in Xuancheng?
Nikan, as the son of Nurhachi's eldest son, Chu Ying, is one of the best among Nurhachi's grandchildren. He was named Dorobeile for his meritorious service. Before this southern expedition, Dorgon even promoted him to be King Jingjin in order to appease people's hearts. .

Of course he knew that the Ming army had been avoiding the battle, which allowed him to attack cities and loot all the way.But the current situation made him have to continue to divide his troops to attack and rapidly expand the results of the battle.

The news from the front line of the canal is that the main attack led by Hauge was blocked, and they suffered heavy losses when they crossed the Yangtze River. If he does not make progress along the way, then Hauge's position as coach may be lost at any time.

Nikan was on the side of Hauge and Jierhalang at the previous court meeting, and he knew exactly what this meant to him.So even if it is dangerous to divide his troops to attack, he has to make such a choice.

But now he only has 5000 people with red flags in Nanling, and the other 5000 people are in Jing County, 30 kilometers away.It must be too late to wait for the 5000 people in Jing County to join him before going to the rescue.

He had to personally lead 5000 people to Jingting Mountain to rescue Samuel, and let 5000 people from Jing County go straight to Xuancheng.

With Nikan's dispatch, Samuel finally ushered in his doomsday.Now that the fish has been hooked, there is no need for extra bait to exist.

In order to completely annihilate the Eight Banners, Qian Mo specially transferred the 2000 Iron Armored Army from the White Robe Battalion from Suzhou to the front line of Ningguo.

Originally, Samuer and others hid under the rocks of the mountain path to avoid the Ming army's shooting, but suddenly a large number of Ming soldiers in iron armor rushed down, and quickly cleaned up the hundreds of remnants of him.

Nanling was not too far from Jingting Mountain, and the cavalry led by Nikan had overtaken it in less than two hours.

At this time, they heard the rumble of cannons in the valley ahead, mixed with the sound of many firecrackers firing.

Taturai, the deputy commander of the red flag, said: "Listen, my lord, there are still gunfire in the valley, which means that Samuer has not been wiped out by the Ming army. Let the servants lead the troops to rush in."

The Ming army had blocked the entrance of the valley with boulders and trees, but the Eight Banners were not afraid of this kind of siege.Tatulai directly led a 500 commando team composed of white armored soldiers and red armored soldiers, and launched a charge thinking of Taniguchi.

It may be that the Ming army was strangling the valley with all its strength at this time, and there were not many soldiers left to guard the valley.Although the Lumi guns of the Ming army could easily penetrate the heavy infantry of the Eight Banners who were holding shields and wearing heavy armor, they successfully drove the Ming army away and occupied Taniguchi under the fearless charge of the Qing army.

At this time, Nikan showed a proud smile on his face. Although he was very distressed by the loss of more than 300 elites, he still thought it was worth it to be able to rush into the valley to rescue Samuel.

After removing the obstacles at the entrance of the valley, the cavalry of the Qing army rushed all the way into the valley, but where are the Qing troops alive in the valley?The corpses of Qing soldiers were scattered everywhere.

Soon Nikan came to Samuer's body, and saw Samuer's face was grim, with many blood holes on his body, and his death was very miserable.Nikan found that there was a peeled tree trunk behind Samuel.

Moving away Samuel's body, there were a few large characters written on it: "Nikan died in front of this tree."
