Chapter 239: Shaoxing Defensive Battle
In just one pillar of incense, many people in the Qing army climbed the city wall, and more and more.
The soldiers of the Ming army resisted bravely, and Liao Zhongping took the lead and went into battle in person.
It took about half an hour to drive this wave of Qing troops out of the city.
Duoduo, who was watching the battle from a distance, was furious, and did not wait for this wave of Qing troops to retreat, and organized a second wave of attacks again.
This wave of attack is different from the first one, a tall Tartar leader (the chief general of five Niu Lu, 1,005 people under his command, equivalent to the Ming army), he wears an iron mask, wears three layers of thick armor, hangs two knives on his waist, holds a giant axe, takes the lead, leads 600 heavy armor, rushes forward, climbs up from the ladder.
Although the Ming army in the city kept firing arrows at this heavy armor army, using these ordinary arrows against the thick armor on their bodies was like scratching their boots, and it was completely ineffective, and soon these 600 people slowly climbed up the battlements.
At this point, the situation is quite critical.
Six hundred Qing troops are heavily armoured, if they are allowed to climb the city wall, the Ming army defending the city will have to focus all their energy on them, then the Qing infantry that will follow will quickly land on the city.
Liao Zhongping was in a hurry, and he roared "block them".
But how can you stop it?
The soldiers of the Ming army stabbed with spears in their hands, but they could not enter.
Cut with a knife, you can't cut through.
Even the faces of these heavily armored soldiers were covered with iron sheets.
How to aim at small eye holes?
These are living beings who can move, attack, and wield knives.
Hundreds of Ming soldiers who were close to them fell in front of the Qing army's heavy armor with a wail, and the Ming army was forced to retreat step by step.
How many steps back can you take from this wall?
Seeing that the Ming army was about to be squeezed off the city wall, at this time, Zhang Huangyan, who had already felt that something was wrong under the city, led hundreds of people to squeeze desperately onto the city.
Zhang Huangyan shouted: "Cut their necks!" ”
Zhang Huangyan is not a general, when he organized the rebel army, he led soldiers for a few days, but until now, he really hasn't fought a war.
But his words were at the right time.
No matter how strong the armor is, there are gaps and joints, otherwise, wouldn't the armor-piercing person become a piece of iron, and how can he walk and wield a knife?
The fatal part of the heavy armor of the Qing army is also in the neck, which is different from the arm and leg joints, and the neck needs to be tilted up, down, and turned left and right, so its gap is undoubtedly the largest.
But the gap in the neck is not so easy to stab and cut, because the iron mask is very large, and when viewed from the front, it blocks the neck.
But just after Zhang Huangyan shouted, several smart and responsive Ming soldiers reacted.
These people are the closest to the heavy armor soldiers, and they are already in extreme danger, and they will be struck by the heavy armor soldiers at any time.
Therefore, they have taken into account the danger and have not retreated.
This advance, instead of rushing forward, pounced in front of the heavy armor.
After falling down, they flipped to the sky again, and at this time, the neck of the Qing army's heavy armor was exposed in front of them.
And the heavy armor soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and their reaction is undoubtedly slow.
Before they could bow their heads, the Ming soldiers who looked up to the sky had already stabbed the tip of the knife in their hands into their necks, and when they drew the knife, the gushing blood rushed down like a waterfall, drenching the Ming soldiers who were doing it.
This scene was quickly imitated by the surrounding soldiers, so without waiting for a moment, the six hundred heavy armor was inexplicably killed in half.
The leading Qing army general realized that something was wrong, but at this time, it was easy to go to the city and difficult to go down, so how could there be a chance for him to retreat?
The surviving more than 100 armor soldiers have been surrounded by the Ming army, and they can't rush or retreat.
As soon as they rushed, the Ming army fell to the ground one after another.
As soon as they retreated, the Ming army rose up in pursuit.
Regardless of advance or retreat, the speed of the Ming soldiers was faster than theirs.
The Qing army general, who had already killed more than a dozen people, was so depressed that he raised his sword and shouted, but he was blocked by the iron mask, and only made a muffled sound.
At this time, a thin Ming soldier stepped forward quickly, stabbed the spear in his hand forward, and coincidentally stabbed the general's throat.
didn't even say a word, the general fell to the ground with a bang, and another quick-eyed Ming army stepped forward, carrying the general's iron helmet, and the knife in his hand was like this, a human head of more than 20 catties, with an iron helmet, and it was in his hand.
This is a great achievement, and promotions and rewards are indispensable.
The onlookers of the Ming army roared in unison, and at this time, the Tartar infantry was already charging.
said that it was too late, that time was fast, the destruction of the six hundred heavy armor was in such an instant, and Duoduo, who was watching the battle, was too late to save him, and Duoduo, who was angry and attacked, gave the order for a general attack in a hurry.
Six hundred heavy armor, that's the old book, the iron is in the Ming Dynasty, and it's also a controlled material.
A heavy armor, not to mention seventy or eighty pounds of iron armor, not to mention that this iron armor costs a lot, to find such a 600 people who can wear this iron armor, even if the Tartar is stronger than the Ming people, it is one out of a hundred.
The heavy armoured army, which has always been invincible, was actually submerged in a small pass?
This made the anger in Dord's heart unspeakable.
As a result, all the plans and intentions in his heart turned into flames at this moment, and he just wanted to burn the city!
The Ming soldiers quickly leaned towards the city walls, ready for a third wave of attacks.
But this time, he was not as lucky as the previous two times.
In the face of the third wave of Tartar attacks, the Ming soldiers have consumed most of their physical strength after the first two fierce battles, plus the six hundred heavy armor such a rush, the casualties can not be counted, the key is that most of the facilities on the battlements have collapsed.
After a few rounds of arrows, they were driven by the Duoduo, and the ferocious Tartars had already rushed up the walls.
A bloody battle broke out.
……。
The 5,000 cavalry sent by Duoduo to the north of the post pavilion were commanded by Bolo.
Bolo was only in his early thirties at this time, but he was already a veteran of the battlefield, and since eleven years ago, he has followed Huang Taiji to fight in the south and the north, and has made countless achievements.
In some respects, his military prowess was slightly superior to that of Duoduo.
The difference in identity made Bolo subordinate to Duoduo, but Bolo did not complain, but respected Duoduo very much.
Duoduo asked him to lead a partial division to the north gate, if Geng Zhongming was replaced, I am afraid that he would mumble in his heart.
Five thousand cavalry, this is the cavalry of the Eight Banners, in the field, that is enough to resist the enemy who is several times his size.
But in sieges, it's not as aggressive as an infantry.
Geng Zhongming would wonder if Duoduo planned to support him and prevent himself from absorbing military merits.
But Bolo didn't think so, he was willing to obey Dord's orders.
Over the years, he has been following Duoduo, since entering the customs, but also with Duoduo defeated Li Zicheng, Pinghenan, Potong Pass, Xi'an, after succession, conquered Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Kejiaxing, Wujiang, broke the Ming general Wu Yi's army, captured Jiangyin.
Frightened, Zhu Changshu, the king of Minglu, surrendered to Hangzhou, and Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai, also rushed from Shaoxing to surrender.
