Chapter 348: The Recruits Are Cowardly Fighting, and the East Gate is in Danger
Even if there was no military order from Fu Tianqi, Liu Mazi tried his best to plug this damn hole. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but he was in a big trouble in front of him, these recruits who were scurrying around couldn't care about anything at the moment, and they rushed Liu Mazi and others who were in a hurry to kill the enemy. Under the crowding of people, Liu Mazi couldn't even move the sword in his hand, so angry that he could only scold and drive away, but the effect was very small.
And what is even more worrying is that the other recruits also had the idea of retreating when they saw this, if it weren't for the hideous faces of the generals who supervised the battle around them, the entire East City Gate would have completely fallen at this moment! At this time, when Liu Mazi was surrounded by groups and the other generals were beyond the reach of the whip, a bow and arrow "swished" and nailed the Houjin infantry with weapons in hand and teeth and claws in place. This was followed by a "whoosh" of non-stop arrows, killing all the enemies that followed.
After the Houjin infantry, who was the first to attack the city wall, fell to the ground, his face did not change the expression of excitement and slight surprise. Countless rewards and glory vanished with his death, and the other soldiers who climbed the walls followed in his footsteps.
Seeing that Liu Mazi was in deep chaos, Wu Xiongwei didn't have time to greet his subordinates, and regardless of whether there were guards around him, he hurriedly killed him with a sword in his hand. It can be seen that the enemies in front of him are falling one after another, and he can't help but turn his head to look, and then there is a look of surprise, how could it be him? It's just a young master, when did the archery become so powerful? But he just glanced at it hurriedly, and then raised his sword and stabbed one of the Houjin infantry who had just climbed up into the city. And Wang Jian also hurriedly beckoned more than a dozen people to Wu Xiongwei's side, and finally plugged this small hole with his own adults.
"Yo he, Daewoo's hand archery is amazing, it's really impressive"!
Facing the praise of his brother Chen Junde, Feng Tianyu's stiff face finally showed a smug smile, but then he became lonely for some reason. Under Chen Junde's gaze, it turned out to be a rare sigh: "Alas, thank you for this...... That brother Jun, brother, I'm not in vain in Hetuala! With my current kung fu, ordinary people can't get close at all! Brother Jun, with such kung fu, can you reward you with an official and a half-job"?
"No problem, I was worried about your safety before, and I was afraid that you would not want to, so I didn't let you participate in the war. And today, if you have this heart, you will definitely answer as a brother! Then Chen Junde looked at the recruits who were still entangled with Liu Mazi and others with a gloomy face, and then shouted: "Big mouth, you immediately take people to defend the city, precious, take down these recruits for me"!
In fact, at the beginning of the battle, Chen Junde got a report, and after learning about the deployment of Houjin siege troops, especially after the people sent by Wu Xiongwei told him, he hurriedly took Qi Dazui and others to aid the East Gate. But Chen Junde didn't expect that it would take less than half an hour for people to attack the city. He didn't believe in the recruits' combat performance before, but when he saw the chaos in front of him, he was even more angry.
And with the arrival of Chen Junde, the panicked recruits gradually regained their senses. He Tiesheng and the others who followed behind Qi Dazui also rushed forward hard, and they had to bow their heads under the eaves. When passing by those recruits, He Tiesheng showed a sympathetic look on his face. He felt deep pity for these recruits who didn't know anything, because he knew that if anyone dared to say a "no" word in wartime, his head would have to move the next moment!
Although Qi Dazui's subordinates are all surrendering troops, they are all veterans who have seen the battle array. With their assistance, the precarious East City Gate was finally effectively controlled. The good days of Houjin are over, and there is no need to wait for the Houjin infantry to climb the ladder, kill the logs, bows and arrows, and fire guns in the hands of the soldiers of the captive army, and hug their heads and cover them as if they don't want money, which suddenly disrupted the momentum of the Houjin side. And the cavalry under Yanguli had to temporarily avoid its edge in order to avoid the already large-scale counterattack under the walls.
Nurhachi was still staring intently at the battlefield, although he didn't see Chen Junde's figure, but he also guessed that the sudden increase in combat effectiveness of the captive army at this moment must be the result of the commander's personal presence. Even if his offensive is now blocked, Nurhachi is confident that Kaiyuan City will be captured. However, according to the combat style of the captive army, which would rather be broken than destroyed, the casualties on his side were doomed to be many. And now he has already thought of a foolproof plan in his heart, so he ordered with a relaxed face: "Mingjin withdraws the troops"!
"Jiannu has withdrawn, we have won"!
Just after Yuan Guigui took control of the recruits who left their posts without permission, Houjin slowly retreated. Liu Mazi had the intention to take advantage of the victory to pursue and fire a few cannons to attack the retreating enemy, but after seeing Chen Junde's bright red eyes, he decided to stop for a while, in case he let his own adults see the effect of the cannon again, and he became a gas bag. The soldiers of the killing army defending the city shouted in unison, although they didn't know what Houjin's intention was to retreat when he had the upper hand, but they couldn't help but let the soldiers of the killing army who had survived the catastrophe cheer.
At the general headquarters of the Killing Army, the generals with heads and faces gathered together, Fu Tianqi and Wu Xiongwei knelt in front of Chen Junde with ashamed faces, leaned down and said: "My lord, it was the last general and others who were incompetent, and they almost lost the east gate"!
Chen Junde didn't pay attention to the two people kneeling on the ground, but instead asked the others, "How is the battle situation at the other city gates?"
The group in charge of the defense of the north gate was the first to speak: "There are only a few feints of cavalry, and there are no infantry sieges, except for some recruits who were wounded by sporadic arrows, no sergeants were killed!"
Yang Ji, who was in charge of the defense of the South Gate, and Li Jingsi of the West Gate were roughly the same, although they were attacked by the Houjin, most of them were Han troops, and they had no combat effectiveness, and they did not let people attack the city wall like the East Gate, and together they killed more than a dozen people.
Fu Tianqi, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't wait to stick his head into the ground, the first battle of defending the city was only his own side with heavy casualties, although it was said that the siege of the city was all Jiannu soldiers, but this kind of result made him, the number two person in the killing army, unable to raise his head at all.
After glancing at the two people kneeling on the ground, he said with a solemn face: "The pressure on the East Gate, as the main battle site, is the greatest, and it is normal for the casualties to be larger, but fortunately, the adults arrived in time and did not lose their ground." However, this attack on Jiannu was mainly a temptation, and when he saw the kind of combat power of the East Gate, he suddenly attacked with all his strength. It was at this time that the defensive pressure of each gate increased, and the purpose was to use the east gate as a breakthrough. My lord, let's take this as a warning, the next time Jiannu attacks the city, it will definitely not be so easy to deal with"!
Qi Dazui, who had always been dissatisfied with his role, saw the stitches and shouted: "My lord, if you let the last general go to guard the east gate, these two people can't do it, the first battle is almost over!" My lord, the last general dares to make a military order, if the last general will definitely not let people fight like his grandson"!
Regarding Qi Dazui's fall, almost everyone looked at him with a look of contempt. But this one didn't care, but stared at Chen Junde with blazing eyes, hoping to get what he wanted from his own adult's mouth.
Chen Junde's face was full of anger, and he pointed to the two people kneeling on the ground and scolded: "Lao Fu, you and Lao Wu are my most trusted support, and I absolutely believe in your ability, but this failure to defend the city is indeed the full responsibility of the two of you!"
Seeing Chen Junde's sudden appearance, the generals were worried, for fear that their adults would be angry with these two big brothers because of this matter. They all knew in their hearts about the East Gate, mainly because the recruits retreated during the war, and the relationship with them was really not very big, and if they were punished because of this, they would not be able to bear it in their hearts. So under the leadership of Yang Ji, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted; "My lord, this ......"!
"Get up for me, let me finish talking!" Chen Junde, who stopped the generals, then came to Fu Tianqi and Wu Xiongwei, sighed and said: "It is common for recruits to be cowardly, and it is enough to supervise and guide the generals. I ask you, but why did it turn into a rout in the end, and almost buried Kaiyuan Castle?"
How can the defeated general have any face to argue, he can only kneel unchanged, and shout in unison: "My lord, the last general is incompetent, and he cares about the trust of the adult"!
"I ask you, what are you doing as commanders after the battle has begun, especially before the chaos of recruits?"
Fu Tianqi raised his head and replied in a low voice: "Fight with the enemy"!
Chen Junde's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and he scolded in a rare way: "Bastard! It's a bastard! Before the war, I personally issued a military order, and the defending officers were divided into two main and deputy officers, and one person must be guaranteed to command the overall situation in the rear, why are you both killing the enemy and charging ahead? Fighting a war is not a fierce fight, especially the battle of defending the city is to control the overall situation in order to deal with the war! There is already a problem with the recruits, how dare you not be cautious? I can tolerate it, but if I don't punish it, how can I enforce military discipline?"
Hearing this, Yang Ji hurriedly bowed down and pleaded: "My lord, this is the time to employ people, and you must not punish the general!" Why don't you let him make meritorious service for his crimes, and then talk about his merits after the war"!
"Yes, my lord, the last general will wait for his life as a guarantee, and the two of them will never violate military rules again!"
Seeing the generals kneeling down, Chen Junde sighed heavily, leaned down to help the two of them, and said earnestly: "You two remember, only this once, if you commit it again, you will not be spared"!
With tears in their eyes, the two looked at Chen Junde and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will take this as a warning and never do it again!"
At this moment, Yuan Guigui, who was in charge of guarding the deserters, walked in and asked Chen Junde: "My lord, a total of 136 deserters are all in prison, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Chen Junde turned around and took two steps, then turned around, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he said viciously in the panic of everyone: "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes!" Rather learn Taoyuan three knots, not learn Wagang a furnace of incense! This wind must not last long, gather all the recruits at once, and I will tell them with blood that there is only one end for deserters!"
