Chapter 138 The fate of the traitors
(Thank you Gongsun Tang Shuyou for your reward)
Fran's machine guns and muskets fired continuously. Jiannu's attack in the direction of the west gate was stubbornly blocked by the Ming army defending the city. However, their attack regardless of the cost finally achieved "battle results". Shield's sergeant rushed to the city.

At this time, the Flang machine guns on the city had no way to hit these Jiannu. They had rushed past the nearest shooting range of the artillery. Jiannu could also use bows and arrows to fight back against the Ming army on the top of the city.

Of course, Jiannu would not let go of the opportunity to fight back. Jiannu, who were hiding behind the oar shield, shot with bows and arrows one after another.

It's just that the accuracy of this shooting method is too poor, and it does not cause much damage to the Ming army on the top of the city.In the first year of the Ming Army City, the artillery was still bombarding. The targets of the artillery bombardment were the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Jurchen Eight Banners who followed up and charged.

The muskets of the Ming army also did not shoot the Jiannu who rushed to the city wall, which relieved the pressure on the Jiannu who rushed near the city wall. Things, these things hit the scull shield, and then exploded after hitting the ground.This is a cluster grenade thrown by the Ming army.The power of a single grenade is not great, but the power of several bundled together is not so great.

The ladder that was finally carried to the bottom of the city was blown up, and the oar shield was also blown up. Jiannu, who managed to escape the attack of muskets and artillery, fell in pieces in the explosion of grenades.And soon, the arrows from the top of the city were also shot down, and the grenades continued to be thrown down in piles. Originally, I was lucky to build slaves, but most of them were killed and injured on both sides of the moat.

Fortunately, Ban Erfu, the beloved general, escaped the artillery and musket fire, and led a group of soldiers to rush to the city, but the soldiers holding the oar shield were quickly blown up by the grenades thrown from the top of the city. Blockbuster.

One of Banerfu's legs was broken in the blast, two soldiers rushed up immediately, raised the scull shield in their hands, but the grenade thrown again exploded on them, and the two soldiers, together with the scull in their hands, The shield was blown to pieces, and Banerfu was also mangled and died.

Shang Kexi's two powerful generals, they slaughtered countless compatriots with their sabers, and won the praise of their master for this, but this time, they didn't even have a chance to swing their sabers, and they didn't even come into contact with their opponents , and fell under the firearms of the Daming army.They did not rest in peace. No matter who they were, they never thought that their final ending would be like this.

They were too useless to die, and they had no chance to display their riding and shooting skills. Of course, they would not die with peace.

But no Jiannu would have expected that under the leadership of Cao Yue, the development of firearms would be on the fast track, and the old combat mode would be eliminated by the times. Learned lessons from the casualties of the soldiers, and gradually realized the great power of firearms, and began to try this new way of fighting.

But now, they can only meet this bloody and cruel war in the original way.

Shang Kexi has been supervising the battle on the battlefield under the protection of a group of personal guards holding oar shields.Of course, he will not rush to the front. He and his personal guards have been hiding outside the range of the Fran's cannon. They believe that there is no red cannon of the Ming army in this direction. It's a safe place.

Shang Kexi didn't dare to rush to the front, for fear of being wounded or killed by the artillery of the Ming army on the top of the city, but he didn't dare to retreat too far behind, lest he be cut off by the furious Duoduo.Although he is the king of Zhishun, his status in Jiannu country is not one or two points away from that of the prince Duduo. The Jurchen is called Baylor or Beizi, and his status is far above them. Low dog minions.

On the battlefield, if he fails to fight effectively, Duoduo can completely kill him as a scapegoat, and no one will complain about him.After surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi has become a super slicker, so after seeing Doduo ordering to shoot thousands of fleeing soldiers and horses with his own eyes, he no longer dared to fight timidly, but kept ordering his subordinates , Attacking towards the head of Datong city.

Although it is still gratifying to know that when the Ming army's muskets were still firing and the artillery was still bombarding, the sergeants of the Han army inlaid with blue flags he led could only serve as cannon fodder and could not attack the city of Datong, but he could only Reluctantly ordered the sergeants to continue to die.This is the life of him and his soldiers. From the day they decided to surrender to the Manchus, there was no way to resist.

But now Shang Kexi is somewhat regretful, knowing that the Ming army still has such fighting power, he will never surrender to the Manchu Qing easily, because he saw that the Daming Building was about to collapse, he could not withstand the attack of Jiannu, and his family was so big. His entire army was captured by Jiannu, so he decided to surrender.

Shang Kexi originally had nearly 4 Han troops under his command, but was later forced by Dorgon to remove more than [-] troops and sent them to Geng Zhongming, who had almost wiped out his entire army. Now he has less than [-] troops.After the battle started, more than half of the troops were sent by Dorgon to attack the east gate.Now Shang Kexi can only command more than [-] troops, and almost all of them have been filled in the two rounds of attacks.

After the two waves of impact, the two powerful generals should have lost their lives on the battlefield, and more than half of the nearly [-] people who were impacted were also lost.This made Shang Kexi very heartbroken, without soldiers, he would not even have the chance to be a dog for Jian Nu.He is very aware of the importance of preserving strength, but he has no right to choose.He was very angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to order the troops under his command to attack desperately. He hoped to attack the city of Datong by attacking regardless of casualties.As long as some people attack the city of Datong, the battle will be easy.

When Shang Kexi was furious and kept ordering the follow-up troops to continue to attack, the three red cannons arranged at the top of Ximen City opened fire.A shell happened to hit Shang Kexi's vicinity, and a group of guards screamed repeatedly amidst the violent explosion. They were blasted into the air, and Shang Kexi was also thrown off his horse by the strong airflow, and there was a burst of severe pain. He fell into a coma.One of his legs was amputated in half by the shrapnel flying out at high speed, and the gushing blood instantly stained the ground red.

The terrified guards rushed over to rescue Shang Kexi, frantically bandaging her.A soldier leader immediately got on his horse and ran back quickly. He wanted to tell Duoduo the news that Shang Kexi was seriously injured by the bomb and was likely to die.

Most of the red-clothed cannons in Datong City are arranged in the direction of the north gate, but the west gate and east gate, which are very important positions, are also arranged with three and two respectively. Because there are not many cannons, Zhao Liang wants to attack Jiannu by surprise. , so there has been no order to shoot with the red cannon.It was not until seeing that Jiannu had not retreated after suffering heavy losses, and that more and more troops were assembled, did he order the red-clothed cannons to fire.

Unexpectedly, Shang Kexi, a big traitor, was seriously injured with a single shot by accident, causing Jiannu's former attackers to lose their command!
