Daming Military Empire

Chapter 117 Bloody Battle in Gaizhou
The Ming army has besieged Gaizhou City for several days, what is going on with Huang Taiji, and what is he going to do?Huang Taiji's plan can be summed up as follows: no plan!If he insisted on saying that he had any plans, then his plan would be: just wait and see.So why does he think so?

First of all, the Ming army has 25 horses between Haizhou Wei and Gaizhou Wei, and his Haizhou now only has 12 horses. If he insists on attacking, at least 2 people must be left to defend the city. Bring up to 10 people to rescue.

Whether the Ming army wanted to attack the city, or whether they wanted to encircle a point for reinforcements, he was not sure. If they wanted to encircle a point for reinforcements, then it would be dangerous for him to rush over with 10 people.I don't know if his 15 troops can pass through the Sanchahe Fort. Even if they pass, so what, if the 10 troops in the front are blocked, and the [-] troops in the back are surrounded again, then his [-] troops will be completely wiped out. The danger, so he was a little afraid to go.

Then, this mangurtai is a bit special. If Daishan waits for Baylor to be surrounded, even if he doesn't want to, he will have to lead the army out for a round, and even have to attack Sanchahe Fort tentatively. If not, then his subordinates should be disappointed.But Mang Gurtai is different. Everyone knows that Huang Taiji will not deal with him. Even if he does not move, no one under him will say anything, let him take risks to save Mang Gurtai Ty, that's almost impossible.

Finally, and most importantly, he didn't think that Mangurtai needed to be rescued. Although the two of them were at odds with each other, he was still very assured of Mangurtai's ability.If it weren't for the Ming army's muskets and artillery, he would even think that Mangurtai could go out of the city and defeat the 15 Ming army!Now even if the Ming army has muskets and artillery, so what? Mang Gurtai is not a vegetarian, and he also has cannons. It is almost impossible for a mere 15 Ming army to capture Gaizhou City.

Impossible?Sun Chengzong didn't think so. He was so eager for this victory. Under his constant supervision, 45 earth slopes were built in nine days, and countless siege ladders and wells were built. All 15 troops participated in the attack It's all good enough.

During this period of time, Sun Chengzong even made a plan for the siege of the city. For a veteran on the battlefield like Mang Gurtai, the only way to ensure safety is to keep attacking until he can't breathe.If he adopts the tactics of refueling, playing and stopping, then it is possible that more than a month will be slowly consumed by him.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong decided to invest half of the troops on the first day to launch a fierce attack. If it doesn't work, the other half will attack on the second day. If it doesn't work, send all the uninjured ones up on the third day. What a ghost!

In any case, this battle is inevitable.

On the morning of the tenth day, at Chenshi, it was still the slope. Zhu Cijiong looked at the nearly 45 troops in front of him and the [-] cannons on the slope, took a deep breath, and then ordered in a low and firm voice: "Start, attack."

The Jinyiwei masters behind him immediately waved the command flag in their hands, and the sound of rumbling drums was heard immediately below, and the Ming army in front shouted in unison: "Come on." Lifting the ladder, pushing the well rail towards Gaizhou City rushed.

As soon as they rushed to the middle of the gap between the earth slopes, the cannons on the earth slopes roared, and a row of solid projectiles "boom boom boom boom" hit the city wall. , but at the same time, there was a roar on the city wall. A shell just hit the head of a group of soldiers carrying the ladder, and immediately blood was splashed. go.

The sound of cannons continued to roar, and the well fence gradually approached the city wall. When it reached about two hundred steps in front of the city wall, the Beijing elite who pushed the well fence below stopped immediately, and quickly climbed up the well fence, and soon they climbed to the well fence Above, there was no need for anyone to direct them. They immediately took off the flintlock guns from their backs and began to shoot in turn.The first attacking Liaodong army took the opportunity to build a ladder to the city wall, and climbed up one after another.

At this time, many Houjin soldiers on the city wall had fallen, and countless were hit by shells and flintlock guns, but they did not take a step back. Some raised their shields, some drew their bows, and some Hiding behind the shield, he lifted the rolling stones and trees and threw them down. Under the city wall, the ladder was immediately covered in blood and flesh.

Zhu Cijiong stood on the small soil bag and held up the binoculars, nervously watching the battle on the city wall, watching the soldiers of the Houjin Army being beaten to pieces by shells and bullets, he felt his blood boil, and he wished he could rush up; Rows of Ming soldiers were hit by rolling stones and trees, and fell to the ground bleeding. His heart constricted and he had difficulty breathing.

Under the cover of artillery and flintlock guns, the Ming army finally climbed the city wall, but was quickly stabbed by countless spears or fell down by countless swords. After attacking for nearly an hour, the first wave of [-] The Liaodong Army is almost half dead, yet it has yet to gain a firm foothold on the city wall!
Zhu Cijiong couldn't bear to see it. The fresh lives disappeared in front of his eyes. These are all Ming soldiers. They sacrificed their lives for the country, the nation, and the people; they faced the enemy's artillery fire With swords and guns, go forward bravely, without hesitation.They are the real warriors, and they are the most respectable people. At some point, two lines of hot tears poured out of his eyes, and his vision gradually blurred.

Suddenly, the sound of drums was heard from below, and the second wave of [-] Tianxiong troops rushed up with wild screams. At this time, [-] to [-] Ming troops had gathered under the city wall, and the Hou Jin army on the city wall gradually showed signs of being exhausted. , Finally, the Ming army gained a firm foothold on the city wall, and it occupied more and more territory. The artillery of the Ming army had to stop attacking to avoid hurting its own people.

Seeing that victory was in sight, countless post-golden soldiers suddenly poured out from both sides, and the Ming army on the city wall was gradually compressed together. If this continued, they would be suppressed in a short time.

Seeing this, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but anxiously said: "Quickly, let the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp below rush up for me, push the well rail, and stick the well rail to the city wall, and the musketeers put bayonets on them, and jump to the city wall for me." go up."

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang masters behind him can't help but look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.This was not arranged before the start of the war. The [-] Beijing elite under the mountain are responsible for protecting the emperor. No one said that they should rush up too!

Seeing that no one was moving, Zhu Cijiong remembered that this link did not seem to be in the plan. The general Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters might not be able to persuade the [-] Beijing elite below.

Who to send, one by one entourage flashed through his mind, and soon he selected the most suitable candidate, and he immediately shouted: "Cao Huachun, you go to pass the decree."

At this time, Cao Huachun showed his unconditional loyalty to Zhu Cijiong. As soon as Zhu Cijiong's words fell, he flew down the slope, leaving only his shrill voice in the air: "Miss Qin, protect the emperor."

Soon the elite of the Beijing camp below moved, and they rushed to the bottom of the well, some climbed up to deliver orders, and some pushed the well and leaned against the city wall.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer, hold on, Zhu Cijiong gritted his lips and stared at the Ming army who was crushed by the city wall and retreated to the edge of the city wall, shouting silently.

Finally, the Ming army on the city wall stood upright with the support of the Jingying elites on the Jinglan who approached and shot. The situation changed drastically immediately, and it was necessary to guard against the Ming army on the ladder and the Ming army on the well. The Houjin army defending the city was in chaos, and the Ming army gradually gained the upper hand.

Zhu Cijiong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly a group of people rushed out from the gate tower of the north gate, and frantically pressed towards the section of the city wall occupied by the Ming army. A burly man in the lead brandished a big knife, almost one by one, and the soldiers of the Ming army No one could survive a round in front of him!
It's Mangurtai!Zhu Cijiong roared angrily: "Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, rush up and kill Mang Gurtai."

He has no choice. Cao Huachun, Qin Mingyue, and Wang Zhengnan have never been on the battlefield. If there are only dozens or hundreds of people on the opposite side, it is fine for them to go up, but this is a battle of tens of thousands of people. Maybe he would die if he couldn't get in front of Mang Gurtai. Now the only ones who can go up to fight against Mang Gurtai are Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming.Zhu Cijiong only knew that these two were very fierce, but Zhu Cijiong really didn't know how good their kung fu was, so he could only think that it should be no problem for two to fight one!
When Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming heard Zhu Cijiong's roar, they didn't hesitate, they obeyed and flew down.In order to save time, they even directly plundered the horses under the hill, and ran towards the city wall after hitting the horses!

The speed of the horses can be imagined, they rushed under the city wall in less than a stick of incense, they did not get off the horses, jumped directly into the saddle, then jumped up, and then used their spears to touch the side of the well next to them, and the whole person was shocked. Grabbed the city wall.

The power of these two people is not weaker than that of Mang Gurtai. I saw that the two of them cooperated with each other and advanced in a staggered manner. After a while they rushed to Mangurtai.

The two of them didn't talk, they raised their spears, and stabbed Mangurtai violently. Mangurtai was in a hurry and scolded them for being shameless.

In fact, these two brothers are not much worse than Mang Gurtai. Even if they fight Mang Gurtai one-on-one, they will not necessarily lose. If they fight together, they will be completely crushed.

Soon Mang Gurtai couldn't hold it anymore, he was about to pull back, but Qin Yiming saw the opportunity and raised the big knife in his hand with a single shot. Directly pierced Mangurtai's chest.

Mang Gurtai clutched his chest in disbelief, then his eyes bulged, and he slowly fell backwards.

Seeing that the main general had been killed, the Houjin soldiers gradually lost their courage. The Ming army still swarmed up the city wall like ants, and slowly the Houjin soldiers were submerged in the ocean of the Ming army.

In this battle, more than 1 Ming soldiers were killed, more than 2 were slightly injured, and more than [-] were seriously injured. The casualties were extremely heavy.

Hou Jin's side was not much better. The main general Mang Gurtai was killed in battle, and [-] soldiers directly killed more than [-] people. The Ming soldiers who died in Liaodong!

Zhu Cijiong is in favor of this point, because Hou Jin has a very bad habit of massacring cities at every turn. There may be many of these soldiers who have participated in massacring cities. Can't the captives do it?
