Chapter 143: Life for Life

With the roar of artillery fire, dozens of iron bullets were fired from the artillery, although it was not clear at night, but after all, dozens of iron bullets also hit three carts, directly bombing them into pieces, and the people behind were also killed and wounded.

Seeing this, the rest of the people pushing the cart no longer ignored and ran backwards, but they were directly intercepted by the Qing soldiers in the middle of the road, and killed them indiscriminately with knives, which stopped the rout and fled, and could only go back and continue to push the cart.

At that moment, there was a thousand general managers of the green camp who shouted: "If you want to live, rush forward, as long as you can fill this trench, you will be safe, if you dare to run away again, beware of the knife in my hand does not recognize people." ”

"This cannon is so far away....."

Looking at Gao Qi's position from afar under the city, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he had fought for most of his life, and he had a good idea of the artillery situation in the green camp.

Looking at those small carts that were shattered, Gao Qi's position was not in his heart, there were naturally casualties in this battle, and these losses were normal, when he was fighting Galdan in the northwest, he also experienced the taste of artillery bombardment, and the momentum was not smaller than today's Fu Han army, at that time he understood the cruelty of the battle array.

With the passage of time, the distance of the carts was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the artillery hit rate at this time naturally increased greatly, and seventy or eighty carts were destroyed one after another, while the remaining twenty or so carts approached the trench and overturned all the sandbags on the carts into the trench.

It's just that Ning Yu had ordered earlier to dig the trench wide and deep, so it couldn't help anything, and the green battalion Qian of the escort team behind him couldn't see it, but the military order was like a mountain, if they couldn't cross this trench today, they would have to take their lives to fill it, and they didn't care about it at the moment, and forced the people to rush to the trench, wanting them to fill the trench.

But this is obviously a death, the people are naturally unwilling, many people ran backwards, but the Qing army is blocking behind, but it is difficult to rush over, most of them are still pushed and pushed to the trench, and the scene is extremely tragic for a while.

Seeing that the trench was about to be filled with the corpses of the people, he had to order the artillery to concentrate on the rear of the trench, and for a while, the artillery fire was fired at once, but it was impossible to distinguish between the soldiers and the people, and they were smashed together.

The cannon smoke rose on the city wall, and the iron bullet was smashed into the crowd of the Qing army, creating more than a dozen bloody roads in the crowd, because the crowd of the Qing army was too close, the result of this time was greater than all the previous combined, and many small carts that had not had time to move were smashed and smashed, and many wood chips flew around in the crowd, and the cry became a piece for a while.

At the moment, the soldiers of the green battalion also didn't care much, and ran backwards with the people, and the crowd suddenly left a blank in front of the battle, except for the remaining corpses on the ground, there was nothing else, and the smell of blood in the air was disgusting.

The green battalion garrison in the back and Qian Zong and others, seeing their own soldiers fleeing backwards like this, they were angry and annoyed, this military gate is still watching from behind, if they retreat like this, their heads will be cut off and hung on the flagpole as soon as possible, to alert the whole army.

Under the pressure of this death, the garrison and Mr. Qian and others brought the supervision team and personal guards to cut down the rout, and the few remaining people died under the knife, but their life and death were like mustard, and they were not taken seriously. There was not even a single sigh, and all the generals of the green battalion in the rear sighed with only one sentence, why didn't they die in the ditch?

Of course, the Qing army also has artillery, but the Qing army's artillery has a short range, so it needs to be deployed forward, but the artillery of the Fu Han army on the head of the city is not only long and powerful, but also very fast.

Boom –

A burst of bullets flew directly to the artillery position of the Qing army, and smashed a large general cannon directly out, but this time it smashed the nearby artillery to the ground, and a burst of blood rain sprinkled in the air, and the cannon body smashed to the ground and jumped out for a long distance.

The gunners of the Qing army also didn't care about the fear in their hearts, and were forced to open the cannon by the supervising team behind, but under the panic and trembling, many people loaded the wrong amount of gunpowder, but this time it was a sub-mother cannon that exploded directly on the spot, and killed many gunners around it, but there were also a few artillery pieces that were opened, and a few iron bullets flew up to the city, smashing a few potholes and holes on the city wall, but it did not cause any casualties to the Fu Han army.

Gao Qiwei's face was a little pale, and he could see at a glance that if he counted on his own artillery power, he was afraid that it would be useless, and the only way to rush to the city and open a passage with hand-to-hand combat would have a chance to take the city. No matter how incompetent his own green camp is, if it is hand-to-hand combat, he can always exchange three lives for one life of the Han army.

For Gao Qi's position, if he can take down the opposite side of Chu Rebellion, it doesn't matter if the 40,000 green battalions are dead, he will still be a great achievement at that time, so there is no so-called pity for the soldiers in his heart, and he directly ordered the green battalion on the front line to launch a strong attack.

More than 3,000 Qing soldiers were divided into different waves, carrying ladders and dragging siege rams, and launched an assault on the city wall of the Fu Han army.

Under this kind of dispatch, the Qing army finally filled the trench with human lives, and as for the barbed wire fence across the trench, the Qing army was also prepared, they did not know where to get some very sharp axes, and after a few axes, the barbed wire was gradually split into a big hole.

Of course, in such a process, the Fu Han army on the wall was also a volley of guns, due to the narrow terrain under the city, there was almost no need to aim, and the Qing soldiers fell in batches, and the corpses were piled up to describe it as an exaggeration, but six or seven hundred lives were gone in such a while.

"It seems that Gao Qiwei has done some homework, worthy of the veteran who fought in San Francisco and Galdan back then, this adaptability is not like what an old man in his seventies can do, people are really getting older and better!"

Ning Yu said with some emotion, not only that, but the Qing army under the city also had rules and regulations when launching an attack, and the personnel were spread out as much as possible to reduce casualties, except in front of the barbed wire, there was really no better way, otherwise the more than 3,000 Qing troops might still have two thousand five or six left, which was far more tricky than the previous green battalion.

Dong Ce smiled, "Governor Dadu, even if this old man is as cunning as a ghost, as long as he doesn't believe in this evil and comes to attack my city, he will only die in vain." ”
