Ming Empire

Chapter 139

The news that Shang Kexi was seriously injured by the shelling was immediately spread by the terrified guards.

Shang Kexi was seriously injured, Xu Erxian and Ban Erfu were killed in battle, the attacking Han army lost its command and fell into chaos.

No one dared to rush towards the west gate anymore, and the Han army, which had suffered a heavy blow, ran back desperately.The defeat of the Han army also caused chaos in the follow-up attack, the Korean army and the Mongolian Eight Banners who were also hit hard, and eventually led to the chaos of the Jurchen Eight Banners who followed up behind the palace.

Sahalian, who commanded the Jurchen cavalry to follow up the attack, could not control the situation after personally beheading many defeated Han troops. The thousands of Jurchen cavalry he led were rushed by the Han and North Korean troops who fled desperately. In the chaos, in the end, they could only kill a bloody path and retreat to the front of the formation.

When Duoduo received the news of the deaths of Ban Erfu and Xu Erxian, he couldn't help being very angry, and repeatedly ordered Shang Kexi not to retreat, even if all the Han troops were wiped out, they would attack the city.

But the news that Shang Kexi was seriously injured by the shelling came over, which made Dodo even more angry, but he also immediately knew that Shang Kexi's injury was likely to collapse the Han army, so he immediately ordered to temporarily stop the attack. Order to retreat.

It's just that his order was still a step too late. After news spread that Shang Kexi was seriously injured by the shelling, the violent muskets, artillery fire, gunpowder smoke everywhere, and the appalling deaths and injuries of his companions had caused the Han army to collapse. The soldiers also fled, and even Sahalian couldn't control it.

A life-threatening attack ended hastily like this, and a heavy price was paid. Not even a sergeant rushed to the top of the wall, which made Duoduo furious.He personally rushed forward with his guards, beheaded many defeated Han troops in a row, and ordered again to shoot and kill the Han troops and Koreans who dared to die without a fight.Nearly [-] Han troops and North Korean troops who fled desperately died at the hands of the Jurchens.

The other Han troops, including the Koreans and the Mongols who were treated generously by Duoduo, did not dare to retreat after closing the formation, but they were unwilling to charge forward. In the end, they could only shrink back to a certain distance from the city wall. Where they can't hit, Jurchen's bow and arrows can't shoot and stand by.

Duduo had ordered a temporary cessation of the attack. He knew that even if the Han army, the Koreans, and the Mongols were forced to attack, it would have no effect except for huge casualties.To launch another attack, the soldiers and horses must be rectified and rearranged.

At this time, Shang Kexi, who was seriously injured, was carried in front of Duoduo.

When he was seriously injured by the blast, Shang Kexi passed out.The guards carried him back, and on the way to seek medical treatment from the military doctor, he woke up from the pain again, screaming and cursing on the raised bed, and he didn't even notice that Duoduo came to him.

At this time, Shang Kexi has lost his mind, the main feeling of his seriously injured body is severe pain, and his emotions and body functions are not controlled by the brain. , Said that if Dorgon and Duoduo hadn't taken the Han army and the Han people, such a situation would not have happened today, and he would not have been injured.

Hearing Shang Kexi's nonsense, Doduo, who was very angry because the battle was not going well, became even more furious, and finally couldn't help it, pulled out his sword, and slashed viciously at Shang Kexi who was on the bed.Shang Kexi's head was cut off abruptly by Duoduo, and flew straight away.Blood splattered everywhere, and Dodo was also drenched all over.

The soldiers who were carrying Shang Kexi were paralyzed by fright, and sat on the ground with a plop, at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, there are still thousands of guards, and they all retreated with the injured master. Thousands of people watched helplessly as their master was beheaded by Duoduo.This sudden upheaval made many people stay there, but someone reacted immediately, and they were furious.

In fact, many people followed Shang Kexi and surrendered to Jiannu, not to say they were loyal to Jiannu, they were just loyal to Shang Kexi.Fortunately, they are willing to obey orders, even if they are asked to kill their own compatriots.But they couldn't tolerate Jiannu killing their masters.

The riot broke out in an instant, and Shang Kexi's guard captain roared and rushed towards Duo Duo, wanting to avenge Shang Kexi.Soon the others came to their senses, and they all raised their sabers and charged at Duoduo.

Doduo's guards reacted quickly, and while one of them was protecting Doduo and retreating, the others rushed forward to stop him.The two sides quickly killed each other, slashing and killing each other desperately, and there were scenes of people being overwhelmed everywhere.

Although the fighting power of the Han army is not as good as the Jurchens, or even the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the guards who are still gratifying are one of the most elite troops in the Eight Banners of the Han army. Almost everyone was ready to go all out, and there were quite a few of them. Although Duduo's guards were equally elite, they couldn't control the situation all at once.

The place where the slaves were originally lined up suddenly turned into a battlefield, and the slaves of various races who were originally standing in the same trench started a large-scale shopping battle.This shopping spree must cause a chain reaction, and the other remnants led by Shang Kexi who were defeated also joined the battle group and became a mass.

The North Koreans, who suffered heavy losses, also took the opportunity to cause chaos. At this time, almost everyone lost their minds. The tragic battlefield situation just now had many people collapsed or close to collapse. Now they, apart from fleeing for their lives, followed.What other people do, they will follow without thinking, such as running away, such as clearing obstacles on their way to escape.Seeing their companions desperately fighting with others, all of them who were also threatened rushed forward desperately, trying to rush out of this death zone.

The situation was chaotic, and Duduo's guards could hardly stand it. It was not until the nearby Mongolian Eight Banners and other Jurchen Eight Banners rushed over for reinforcements that the situation was brought under control, the Mongols and the Jurchens.

Fortunately, the thousands of guards were all killed, and no one escaped. Most of the remaining Han troops belonging to Duoduo were also killed.But the Jurchens and Mongols also paid a terrible price. At least two thousand people died at the hands of the dying Han army.

Fortunately, the Ming army in the city didn't know the situation, otherwise they rushed out while taking advantage of the chaos, and it would be a good show.

The civil strife further damaged the strength of the troops led by Duoduo. He was no longer able to launch an attack, so he had to withdraw his troops and ordered the remaining troops to retreat to the camp. Report to Dorgon.

The attack on Duo Duo's side was blocked, and civil strife broke out, but the situation on Duo Ergun's side was slightly better than his side.

When Dorgon received the situation report from Duo Duo, he was launching a third wave of large-scale attacks.
