Chapter 121: Forcibly pretending
The siege of the new city launched by the Qing army became more and more fierce, especially after the artillery on the head of the city cooled down, a large number of Qing soldiers pushed under the city wall, waiting for the ladder to climb up, and the Qing soldiers who stood a little farther away were pulling bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the Ming army on the city wall.
Sun Yingyuan watched the Qing army's offensive become more and more fierce, but he smiled and said to several brave guard battalion generals around him: "The Tartars have made a lot of money this time, we have almost finished playing, and we have begun to collect people's heads!" ”
A guerrilla general in the Yongwei battalion understood, and said to the herald beside him: "Grenade ready!" ”
As the heralds gave the order, groups of soldiers came up from under the city, carrying dozens of large wooden boxes up the city walls.
The soldiers were very quick to hand out grenades to the soldiers defending the city, and each of them was given a piece of rosin.
The soldiers of the Yongwei battalion lit the rosin, skillfully lit the fuse of the grenade, and then easily threw it to the city, and some of the soldiers who were good at pretending to force it did not even look at it, and threw it far away from the city wall.
In just a few breaths, a series of huge explosions were heard from under the city, mixed with many screams, and then a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose to obscure the scene under the city walls.
The soldiers in the city continued to light the grenades and throw them down in one go, as if they were setting off firecrackers, with smiles on their faces, until each of them threw five grenades.
The explosions stopped, but the screams did not, and a group of Tartars who had not been killed were either lame or crippled, covering their wounds on the ground and screaming.
The gunpowder smoke from the explosion was too thick and thick, covering up the entire southern city of the new city, and the eyes could only see four or five paces away at most, and some clever Qing soldiers took advantage of the smoke to quietly touch it.
But what made them feel desperate was that there were already Ming soldiers in the city with spears or firearms staring at them and laughing, and after laughing, they shot mercilessly........
In the main formation of the Qing army, when they heard a series of explosions and saw the entire city wall covered by thick smoke, Yanguli and Bo Hezhen looked at each other, and they also had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Zhu Cihong, who was drinking tea on the drum tower, couldn't help but smile slightly after hearing the movement at the south gate, these stupid Tartars, do you really think that I am afraid to defend the city? I hope you don't withdraw too quickly!
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the scene by the city wall gradually became clearer, and the soldiers of the new battalion found that under the city wall, there were many corpses lying horizontally, not to mention two or three thousand.
Some of the ladder trucks used by the Qing army to attack the city were blown into pieces, and some burned into flames, almost half of which were destroyed.
Looking at the corpses of the Qing soldiers piled up under the city wall from a distance, Yanguli's blood was dripping blood, it was not the first time he had eaten this thing, many of the soldiers who died in the battle were Manchurian warriors, and they were gone.
"Eh, why don't we withdraw it?" Bo He said that the loss of this siege was so miserable that even he, an outsider, couldn't stand it.
Yanguli said: "The city will be broken today, and the city will not be sealed for ten days after the city is broken, and they will definitely be killed!" ”
Bo Hezhen hesitated: "Forehead, if you continue to fight like this, how many people will you have to fill?" ”
Yanguli glanced at him and said, "Don't be cowardly, just do it!" ”
Bo Hexuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was still afraid that this forehead would suddenly stop fighting, and at the same time he pursed his lips and smiled secretly in his heart, this time, you have lost so many warriors, look at how you pretend to be forced in front of the eighth uncle (Huang Taiji) when you go back.
There is a kind of behavior, called forcibly pretending, and the inner suffering is only clear to himself, Yanguli immediately ordered the first batch of attacking troops to withdraw, and the second batch of men and horses who were ready to rotate were replaced to continue the siege!
Seeing the Qing soldiers supporting the wounded soldiers and retreating in embarrassment with the corpses on their backs, the soldiers of the new battalion also let out a burst of laughter at the head of the city.
"It's miserable!" Some soldiers couldn't help but sigh after sticking out their heads to look at the tragic situation under the city.
It was the first time for many people to experience this kind of bloody scene, and after smelling the smell of blood reaching the city, the cheers of the soldiers of the new battalion in the city slowly subsided, and many began to vomit, until they even vomited bile.
"Not good! The Tartars are attacking again! A soldier exclaimed, pointing at the Qing army that had surged again.
Everyone looked into the distance, and sure enough, a large number of Qing troops pushed shield carts and ladders to attack the city again.
According to the distance advanced by the Qing army, the musketeers of the new battalion began to attack, and dealt a fierce blow to the second group of siegers of the Qing army.
Braving the fierce blows from the city, the Qing army also left a lot of corpses along the way, but in the end they still approached the city wall again, once again set up a ladder, and launched the siege again.
When Sun Yingyuan saw that the Qing army was gathering under the city again, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "It seems that the lesson just now is not enough, and you dare to stand so densely under the city, it's like looking for death!" The order went down, and the grenades continued to beckon, still five per person. ”
As Sun Yingyuan's order was handed down, the soldiers began to light the fuse again and throw grenades under the city.
Under the city walls, a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded again, and even on the city walls, the earth trembled.
Hearing the sound, Yanguli's face twitched, and he still had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that the Ming army's firearms had been consumed, so he dared to pretend to order to continue the siege.
The previous cruel scene reappeared, the Qing soldiers besieging the city were blown up in a mess, and the city walls were in shambles, and it was unbearable to see.
Yanguli was dripping blood in his heart, his intestines were blue, his thighs were swollen, and he knew that he wouldn't pretend to be this force.
No matter how brave the siege soldiers of the Qing army were in ordinary times, they were also frightened at this moment, and they took the initiative to retreat without waiting for the main formation to give the order to withdraw the troops, even ignoring the corpses of their teammates and wounded soldiers.
Seeing that the Qing army was gradually retreating, Bo He urged his horse to rush forward a few steps, raised his horsewhip and said, "Don't retreat!" Go back and siege the city! What about the Overseers? Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed! ”
The Overseer was just about to go up and cut people, but when they heard the signal from behind them to withdraw the troops, Bo He jumped like thunder, turned back to the horse's head and said, "Who ordered the troops to be collected?" Go ahead to Lao Tzu! ”
Yangulice immediately stepped forward and said, "Beizi, it was my order. ”
Bo He was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Why did you withdraw your troops?" Didn't you just say, don't be cowardly, just do it? Keep it up! ”
Yanguli's face was slightly gloomy, and he secretly said in his heart, fuck your mother! It's not your blue flag that is dead!
Bo Hezhen continued: "E, my warriors of the Qing Dynasty have always been invincible and invincible, and today they are blocked by this small new city, where is the face of my Qing Dynasty?" ”
Yanguli said unhappily: "Enough, if you continue to attack, you can only sacrifice our warriors of the Qing Dynasty in vain, don't forget how the emperor ordered before the expedition, once you encounter a city that is difficult to capture, don't storm it, so as not to consume troops in vain."
This time, I entered the Qing Dynasty to conquer the Ming Dynasty, conquered the twelve prefectures and counties in the Ming Kingdom, won all the 58 battles, and captured more than 100,000 people, which is already a great victory, even if I can't capture this new city, it will not damage the face of my Qing Dynasty! ”
Although Bo Hezhen is still a little unconvinced, he is helpless, Yanguli is the No. 3 person in this war, or the concubine of the old Khan, the uncle of Huang Taiji, and he is also his elder, he can't be angry with Yanguli in person.
Bo Hezhen had no choice but to suppress his anger, and said in an urn voice: "It's a pity that I didn't kill the prince of Mingguo, it's a pity that I didn't take such a big credit!" ”
Yanguli suddenly became like a kind elder, comforted Bo and said: "This time, I sent troops to the Qing Dynasty, just to seize the population and wealth of the Ming Kingdom, and consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Hearing him say this, Bo and Zhen could only nod in agreement, what else could they do? You can't let your people fill in the blue flag, right? Gather your troops and leave!
