Chapter 346: Houjin Siege Takes the Initiative

It's not that Hu Haifeng hasn't been to the original city, on the contrary, he has left a lot of footprints in this city, of course, it is also a place where Fengyue is the majority. Therefore, for a long time, he has developed a habit that every time he sees this Kaiyuan City, he will have an indescribable impulse. But today he was unusually silent, his eyes fixed on Kaiyuan City, but his thoughts returned to the past, when they were still bandits.

Back then, it was a little doll in this city who made a big promise to all the bandits, which was as unrealistic as fishing for the moon in a well! I want to give the bandits a background, a chance to stand up! It's really funny, Hu Haifeng has never heard such a funny joke! It's better for you young people to do this kind of thing, Hu Haifeng, who didn't believe it in his heart, took people back to Jiming Mountain, and waited in his base camp to see the jokes of those who broke their heads! Wait for the news that they will be killed in one of the battles! And what he wanted to see most was the guys who disagreed with him back then, one by one, like lost dogs, who came to Jiming Mountain to beg him Hu Haifeng to take him in!

But what Hu Haifeng waited for was not the good news that could show his own foresight, let alone the scene of the guys who were so downcast that they only had one life left crying and regretting, but the victory of this so-called killing army one battle after another! On the contrary, this fame became louder and louder, and in their endless indignation, they actually accomplished what the imperial army could not do: recover Kaiyuan City!

Hu Haifeng felt that it was in a trance, and the prestige of the killing army had spread all over Liaodong, and the name of the young uncle was shaking the sky and the earth on the Houjin side! At the beginning, his promise was moving towards reality step by step, and Fu Tianqi, Sheng Sichao and many other unknown bandits were famous in Liaodong! It's just a city apart, but the situation of the two sides is thousands of miles apart. As for himself, he is a slave to the Jurchen minions every day, and he lives a life that is worse than death! But I, Hu Haifeng, am not wrong, he is all a coincidence, luck! The army of Houjin has come, let me see how you guys are lucky this time!

Looking at the indifferent Hu Haifeng, the boss who still had some backbone before, Wang Chuangsheng blushed and said angrily: "You are the big boss! You've really changed! When did you become so greedy and afraid of death? At the beginning, Mr. Chen persuaded people with reason, and you didn't want to join, but the slap full of money made you forget what your surname was? You're the big boss of the Chicken Song Mountain! Don't you know that this is the money full of that bastard who deliberately undermined your prestige and did it on purpose"?

"How could I not know? But what can I do, alas, take it one step at a time. After retracting his gaze at Kaiyuan City, Hu Haifeng shouted at his subordinates: "Give me a little faster, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you"!

"You big boss, hum!" Wang Chuang snorted heavily, and then strode away without looking back, leaving this master who had disappointed him!

Just under Kaiyuan City, the enemy and us tacitly spent a night without incident, and no one bothered anyone. Early this morning, Chen Junde, who had not slept all night, had just closed his eyes, and the war broke out suddenly!

"The artillerymen gave me to fight in the pile, yesterday I was buried by the adults to nothing, and if I dare to drop the chain today, I will stuff you into the barrel of the cannon and release you as a cannonball"!

With Liu Mazi's order, the cannon on the East City Gate, where the battle was most fierce, roared and fired cannonballs, and went straight to the Houjin sergeant who was carrying the ladder and chariot roaring away. Although the gunners were not particularly skilled, several shells hit the target. And Sergeant Houjin, who was hit by a cannonball, was like those chariots, and he was instantly torn apart and unrecognizable.

Wu Xiongwei, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't help but shout: "Okay, Liu Mazi will continue to fire artillery for me, and try to kill and injure the enemy outside the range of Jiannu's bow and arrows"!

At this time, Wu Xiongwei was waiting for the soldiers of the captive army with firearms and bows and arrows, as long as they entered their range, they would definitely call the attacking enemy to pay a heavy price!

Then it was Nurhachi himself who commanded the attack this time, and this attack was only tentative, so except for the east gate, the other three gates were only contained. Although the cannons of the captives were earth-shattering, the number was not large after all, and the accuracy was not high. Even if a few were lucky hits, for the soldiers besieging the city, such casualties would not be in Nurhachi's eyes at all. However, the two armies fought in line with the principle of making the best use of their talents and talents, and achieving the greatest victory with the least casualties, and Nurha, who was well versed in this, looked at the beginning of the battle with a bare chest, and ordered the heralds beside him: "Chuan Ben Khan's military order, order the cavalry of the third class of the Zhenghuang Banner to charge from the flank, and suppress the counterattack force on the city with cavalry fire at the dead end of the artillery!" The infantry besieging the city should climb the city wall as soon as possible, and the first officer to attack the city should be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver"!

Nurhachi's intention is very simple, although it is a tentative siege, but in front of this Kaiyuan City, which does not even have basic city defense facilities, his subordinates must climb the city wall today. It is necessary to let the killing army defending the city know the strength of his Eight Banner soldiers, and then persuade Chen Junde to surrender when he is frightened. If it doesn't work, Nurhachi still has a back-up move, even if he can't get Chen Junde, he will definitely let Chen Junde be abandoned by the Ming Court.

The cannons on Kaiyuan City kept firing, and the taste of watching the enemy being beaten made the hearts of the soldiers of the captive army extremely happy. Liu Mazi, who was giving orders at the top of his voice, was also up, although the matter of enhancing the power of the cannon had not yet been settled, but as long as he could show his face more in the next battle, it was estimated that his own adults would also be forgiving. But there is no such thing as an absolutely smooth sail in the world, and just as the soldiers of the captive army looked at the infantry who were constantly rushing forward with cannonballs on their faces, a large number of cavalry seemed to fall from the sky and appeared in front of them. Before they could react, the next moment later, Jin's soldiers drew their bows and arrows and shot at them in unison.

The sound of artillery on the battlefield shook the sky, and it was impossible to hear what the people close to were saying without shouting, but the ears of the soldiers of the captive army could hear the sound of "whooshing" arrows. An arrow slashed across Liu Mazi's face, and the blood instantly dyed Liu Mazi's face red, and Liu Mazi, who was suddenly attacked, hurriedly shouted: "What a fucking bad luck!" Jiannu's cavalry rushed over, hurry up, the artillery quickly hide behind the battlements! Lord Wu, hurry up and fight back with someone!"

Wu Xiongwei also lowered his head at this moment, looked at the arrows like rain on his head, and shouted in a panic: "Where did these Jiannu cavalry fly from his mother's house?" Wang Jian! Take someone to Lao Tzu to fight back with the help of the wall battlements, and beat this group of cavalry down for me! Otherwise, when the infantry rushes to the city, our pressure will be even greater!"

With Wu Xiongwei's order, Wang Jian clenched the fire gun in his hand and replied loudly: "Yes, my lord!" Then he exhaled deeply, and then shouted: "Don't pretend to be a grandson, fire at me, fire at me, and kill these cavalry!" Squatting under the wall to avoid the rain of arrows, the veterans of the Killing Army immediately stood up with their firearms in their hands, showing their heads with arrows, and some of them were shot to the ground by the arrows before they could see the enemy clearly.

War is brutal, and even more bloody for these new recruits who are going to war for the first time. Seeing the veterans who had taught him experience before falling beside him with arrows all over his body, especially the distorted expressions of the veterans before they died, this made these recruits dare not show their heads. Looking at the appearance of the frightened recruits, Wang Jian was so angry that he scolded: "Give Lao Tzu a fight back, or Lao Tzu will engage in military law", after speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head and trotted over, kicking and beating those recruits who did not dare to show their heads.

Just as Wang Jian was urging the recruits to get up and fight, a recruit suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "No, I won't do it, I'll die if I show my head!" No, I'm going home! After a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after a person's hoarse shout, some people echoed it, and gradually more and more recruits climbed down the city, and there was a great tendency to mutiny.

Just when Wu Xiongwei, who was commanding the counterattack under the battlements, and Wang Jian, who was supervising the battle, could not be separated, those recruits who only cared about fleeing for their lives finally came to the stairs of the city tower, and just as they were about to run down the city wall, Fu Tianqi, who hurried from the headquarters, stared at him, held his sword and shouted: "Everyone immediately retreats to the combat position, whoever dares to take a step forward will be killed!"

"My lord, just spare us, this ......" Before one of the recruits finished speaking, Fu Tianqi, who was blocking in front of them, waved his sword and said "swish", and this person's head was cut off! At this time, Fu Tianqi shouted with a hideous face: "You are soldiers, have you forgotten the method of killing and capturing the army?" The general guards the enemy in front of the formation, and the soldiers fled for their lives, killing"!

As Fu Tianqi's word "kill" roared out, the veteran of the killing army behind him took the weapon in his hand and killed him directly. For a while, there was a wail on the city wall, and in the face of the bloody reality, the fleeing recruits all returned to their respective combat positions. For a moment the fire was fired, and the bow and arrow were released. And Fu Tianqi, who was covered in the blood of his subordinates, his brows were getting tighter and tighter.

The attention of everyone in the killing army just now was attracted by the Houjin soldiers who were hit by the cannons, and no one noticed the Houjin cavalry sneaking over from the flank. This is also the first time that the captive army has officially defended the city, and in the face of the swarming enemies, it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of it. But because of this mistake, the price paid is huge. Not only did it allow people to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, but as the artillery fire on the city wall stopped attacking, the advance speed of the Houjin infantry was getting faster and faster.
