Chapter 555: Tower Hill Meat Grinder! (c)
"Attack! Offensive!
The rumbling sound of war drums came from afar, and suddenly He Anguo and Li Yukuan, who were excited about the killing of Du Erhu, the prince of the slave chieftain and auxiliary state, woke up like a dream, shouting loudly and urging their subordinates to pounce forward. In front of me is the earthen wall of the second fortification, and if you break through here, your military merits will be great!
Cutting down the puppet Qing Auxiliary Duke Du Erhu, breaking the red flag to block the soldiers and horses, and breaking through the second defensive position, which of these sections is rich in the title book of the Beijing Division, and I am afraid that I will not be promoted to become rich? ! What's more, there has long been a legend that Ning Yuanbo has already ordered that if any unit breaks through the Tashan position, the imperial court will issue a military salary, and Ning Yuanbo's mansion will issue a copy!
In front of Wu Sangui's Chinese army, Zhang Ruoqi, the soldier who accompanied the overseer, grabbed a huge war drum, waved the drumstick in his hand, and beat the huge war drum covered with a whole cowhide. The bloody battle made him shiver all over, and a chill came out of his spine, but it was also exciting.
As a henchman of Chen Xinjia's faction on the battlefield in Liaodong, how could he not know what this battle meant to Daming, to Chen Xinjia, and to him Zhang Ruoqi? Although as a civil official, he did not have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, but he braved the arrows and stones and was not afraid of the white-bladed drums to help the three armies fight, and if such words appeared in the transcript, it was also a great merit for him.
At that time, because of their participation in the Battle of Jinan, several eunuchs of the Si Li Supervisor commanded their strength in front of the Chinese martial arts officers of the DPRK, and they often said, "Our family followed Ning Yuanbo in Jinan and in Changqing with the real sword and real spear of the Tartar!" The adults who choked on this sentence had nothing to say.
But today is a golden opportunity, if you can break through Tashan in a battle, personally participate in the victory process of this war, and return to Beijing in the future, a high-quality qualification is not to mention, the saint also looks at it differently. It is more of a lifetime of boasting capital.
How can this not let Lord Zhang ignore the layers of sweat on his head, and desperately beat the war drums to cheer for the whole army!
The best thing the generals of the Guanning Army is to take advantage of the fire to rob and fight the water dogs, and now is the time when the wind and water are smooth, and the Ming army has already shown signs of victory, as long as they work hard. A big victory is just around the corner, everyone can make miraculous achievements, be promoted to the knighthood and be crowned as a wife and son, how can you not take advantage of this opportunity to seize the opportunity?
At the moment, they all asked Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, to lead their headquarters to join the mountain attack battle!
At that moment, the two Ming army teams crossed the frozen ground into a muddy battlefield from the left and right flanks, and advanced to the second earthen wall of the Qing army, preparing to defend Li Yukuan's headquarters.
"! The time is not yet up! Their group of dogs are here to rob Lao Tzu of his credit?! Li Yukuan cursed, seeing that the Ming troops on both wings had not yet pressed up. At the moment, just wave the people and horses to pounce forward!
With the help of telescopes, Duoduo, who was watching the battle at the head of Fort Tower Hill, saw this scene clearly, and even the moment when he was hit by a dozen horsetail grenades just now, knocking Duerhu's entire body into a sieve, did not escape his eyes.
Right now, thousands of Ming troops on the left and right flanks are coming quickly, and the momentum is violent. Straight to the second line of defense that Du Du was struggling to support, and the Ming army in front of it. It is even more important to ignore the unforgiving Lord, and just bury his head in the front and rush forward.
"Second brother! Let's add some more people to Du Du! Otherwise, this minion will die today! ”
Duoduo's voice was a little hoarse, how many years of fighting, but today is the first time I have seen an auxiliary prince being blown into a sieve under the sight!
"What a panic! Isn't Du Du still dead?! I'll send reinforcements to him now, and when I turn around, the Ming army has broken through the defense line and knocked down the city of Tashan Fort. Where do I go to find reinforcements?! ”
"Brother! Don't we still have four armor soldiers and horses that have not been used? These days, they have been guarding against Li Huamei of Hongluo Mountain over there! Now it's time to move them! ”
"Bastard thing! Do you see these Ming troops, have there ever been the banner of the Nanyue Army?! It's all Guan Ningjun! I moved the soldiers and horses of the four armors, and when the time comes, Li Huamei will give us a ruthless blow from the weakness, and a knife will kill you and me! ”
The argument lasted for a long time. However, Duoduo had to obey Dorgon's order not to use the four armies of the four Khala, who were deployed on the right side of Tower Hill to guard against the direction of Hongluo Mountain.
The explosion of a horsetail grenade resounded constantly on the battlefield. The successful case of the death of the Red Flag Auxiliary Guogong just now spread among the Ming army in an instant, and the two Ming armies that rotated the battlefield also quickly learned from the successful experience of friendly troops, with the firecrackers in front, the sword and shield soldiers on both sides, and the grenadiers followed the firecrackers, constantly dancing the horsetail grenades one by one, over the heads of the people, and flying into the enemy formation not far away.
With the explosion of grenades and the sound of dense volleys of firearms, the Baya soldiers wearing white-edged red armor beside Du Du kept falling to the ground, and Rao was wearing two or three layers of armor, and he could not resist the intensive shooting of firearms within ten or twenty steps.
Du Du has become the second Ming army after Du Erhu to focus on the object of care! There were constant firearms pointed at him, and horsetail grenades exploded in front and back, left and right.
"Master! Please retreat behind the wall for a while! The Ming dogs are crazy! The red flag of the Baga Lama Zhangjing helmet was thrown somewhere, his scalp was bruised by a stray bullet, and a stream of blood kept flowing down from the top of his head, making his face more and more fierce and terrifying.
"Retreat what?! Ben Beile is the eldest son and grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao! If you retreat, wouldn't you lose the face of Emperor Taizu! Yes, there is! ”
After a little bit of distance between the Ming army and himself, Du Du suddenly raised the golden dragon in his hand into the air!
Weave the golden dragon! Only the flag lords of the Qing army, Beile and Baya Laxu Zhangjing, are qualified to use the honor guards! It seems that this guy here is much bigger than the one he just came from! I couldn't help but get more and more excited about the Ming army, and more soldiers gathered in the direction of Du Du.
"Shoot the arrows!"
As Du Du raised the weaving golden dragon in his hand, a dense rain of arrows hit behind the earthen wall, and when the two or three hundred Ming soldiers who were about to rush in front fell to the ground, many of them let out a series of muffled snorts, endured the severe pain, and retreated slightly.
The soldiers and horses of the two battalions had armor to protect themselves, and the worst one also had a piece of iron-inlaid cotton armor that captured the Qing army. Many people even wore a piece of armor in addition to the armor inlaid with iron cotton, and many people also had iron masks in case arrows hit the door directly, but at such a distance, the armor fired arrows from the bow and the bow of the horse. The projectiles fired by the firebolt are all the same without shelter.
Hum! You have firearms, earth-shaking thunder, and Lao Tzu is as sharp as an arrow!
Du Du sneered, waved the dragon in his hand, and commanded his subordinates to fight back. Trying to take advantage of the slight defeat of the Ming army, create more casualties for the Ming army, make the Ming army more chaotic, and facilitate his own recapture of the lost position, it is best to recapture the body of his son together.
But. At this point, it was a little late.
A large number of Ming soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilians have already filled in and destroyed all the obstacles on the first line of defense, except for leaving an earthen wall, the original trench can already make the shield car pass through Guò. Hundreds of shield carts were shouted by Ming soldiers and civilians and pushed over the earthen wall from the gangplanks erected on the earthen wall. Immediately following the shield cart were those big Buddha machines and six-pounder cannons that made Du Du's scalp tingle when he saw it!
"Kill! Stir up with Ming Dog! Can't give their cannons a chance to fire! ”
Du Du knew very well that the current battlefield was shaped, and behind the earthen wall were the archers who were deployed there with heavy shields in their hands and bows and arrows. They would provide long-range strike support to the Qing army in the absence of firearms, throwing a wave of arrows over the heads of the Ming army.
At the farthest distance of everyone, it is only ten or twenty paces. The two sides stirred together, and fought fiercely with each other with tiger tooth knives, long-handled birch sickles, eight-banner spears, waist knives, hook sickles, stick guns, and palladium. The artillery of the Ming army was useless. If the Ming army retreats a little backward to make room for those artillery, the red flag will face the catastrophe again!
By this time, there was no difference between a master and a slave, and he was coated with a red flag. The house slaves accompanying the officers also came forward to fight in groups waving their weapons, and Du Du led the few remaining Bayala soldiers and brave house slaves to support everywhere. Strive to be entangled with the Ming army, and not let the Ming army have the opportunity to disengage from the red flag soldiers! Both sides are filling with human lives, fighting for bloodshed, to see who can't support it first because they can't consume it.
With a shout, the Ming army finally took the lead in retreating, retreating only a few dozen steps before stopping, and hundreds of sword and shield soldiers with heavy shields and broadswords in their hands blocked the way. The defeated soldiers also knew that they did not dare to attack their own army line head-on, so they bypassed the sides slightly, and went to the back of the line to reorganize and prepare for another battle.
Seeing that the Qing army was not far away, the sword and shield soldiers shouted in unison, each squatted down, and exposed the hundreds of firearms soldiers behind them. Hundreds of firecrackers fired fiercely, killing and wounding more than 200 Qing soldiers who were chasing after them.
The distance was once again widened, and the two sides started a new round of flesh mills.
On the battlefield, which was only sixty paces away, the two sides launched a brutal and dense exchange of fire!
On the side of the Ming army, the musketeers and archers kept firing arrows and lead bullets into the ranks of the Qing army under the cover of sword and shield soldiers and shield carts, striving to buy time for the brothers of the artillery team behind.
However, although the fire gun is powerful, in terms of rate of fire, it is not comparable to the bow and arrow of the Qing army. At such a close distance, the heavy arrows fired by the Qing army, whether it is a foot bow or a horse bow, can penetrate the heavy armor! The arrows were accurate and ruthless, and the arrows were heavy, and from the very beginning, the soldiers of the Ming Army were constantly pierced by their strong arrows, and they were shot to the ground before they could scream.
In order to facilitate aiming, the musketeers did not have iron masks on their faces, and the Qing army discovered this weakness, and the arrows greeted the faces of the Ming army's musketeers! Shot in the door, at such a close distance, the lethality can be imagined.
But the Qing soldiers also can't get any benefits!
A large thick stream of gunpowder smoke rose up, and the narrow perimeter of the battlefield seemed to be shrouded in smoke, and the dense lead bullets roared towards the Qing soldiers not far away, no matter what armor they wore or what shields they held, they had no effect in the slightest.
The two sides were already red-eyed, completely ignoring the casualties, the entire second earthen wall was shrouded in dense smoke, the shouts of killing shook the sky, the loss flew wildly, the lead bullets continued, the roar of the firecracker, and the wails of the arrow-hitters, intertwined, making people feel like they had seen hell.
"Second brother, is this those Guan Ningjun?"
Duoduo at the head of the city was a little weak-legged, and he couldn't believe that the team that fought so flesh-and-blood with Du Du was the Guanning army that was defeated by the wind. If the Guanning army is so daring and capable of fighting, then why was Father Khan invincible back then?
"Cao Zhenyan!"
Dorgon greeted in a hoarse voice. The original applause is recorded. The current acting managers, Melle Zhangjing, Cao Zhenyan, hurriedly crossed their hands and saluted.
"The minions are here!"
Cao Meile Zhangjing was very excited, did he want him to step forward to answer Du Du's department?
"Master! But the two armor-coated soldiers who wanted to be slaves stepped forward to meet Dudubele? ”
Dolgon hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind, Cao Zhenyan's two armor firearms were absolutely unusable unless they were in an extremely difficult situation.
"You minion. The one who wants you to talk too much! Go! Give your master an errand and call those guys to this king! ”
The group of guys in Dolgon's mouth were a group of Manchu noble officials sent to him by Huang Taiji, which could be regarded as a strengthened official team for him. This group of Manchu Qing officials of the second or third generation of officials, different from the children of the Eight Banners at the end of the Qing Dynasty, at this time the children of the Eight Banners were all characters, the courage, energy and combat effectiveness of the nomadic fishing and hunting people, and the product of the gradual acceptance of the Central Plains culture, whether it is military ability or government level. Pulling out one casually is much better than those Jiangnan readers who only know Zi Yue Shiyun and just want to "engrave the manuscript, change the number, change the sedan chair, and beg for a small one"!
Unbelief? Let's pull out a few lists of the second and third generations of Manchu officials who were allocated to Dorgon's subordinates, and you will believe that what the author said is not a lie.
Li Shutai, Zhao Tingchen, Yuan Maogong, Xu Xuling, Lang Tingzuo, Lang Tingxiang, Lang Tingji, Tong Fengcai, Ma Leji, A Xixi, Ma Hu, Shi Weihan, Chen Tai, Aljin, Li Guohan, Zhuo Butai, Baha.
Don't mention anything else for the time being, pull out Li Shutai and Chen Tai as an example, let's compare them. Students who have read the Lu Ding Ji should have a little impression of this classmate Li Shutai. When Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, he happened to be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. But. I believe that not many people know that one of the main reasons for this national surname to recover Taiwan is related to Li Shutai.
Li Shutai, the word Shouchou, the Han Army is a blue flag person, Yongfangzi. His first name was Trillium, and at the age of twelve he was given the name of Nurhachi. Year XVI. Take the wife of the clan. Weak crown, followed Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, father and son brothers to fight in the north and south, and was promoted to Meler Ezhen. After entering the customs, he was known for making good use of soldiers and sharing joys and hardships with soldiers. During the Shunzhi period, he served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The purpose of adding sailors, building ships, and recruiting pirates was to compress the living space of Zheng Chenggong's army, which was guarding the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian. He successively appeased Zheng Chenggong's subordinate generals Tang Bangjie, Lin Chong, Ye Lu and others, and tens of thousands of people were surrendered. In several military operations in Zhejiang, Fuzhou and other places, he was beaten by this Li Shutai and his face was swollen, his troops were damaged, and his ships were burned.
In the first year of Kangxi, Zhangzhou was used as a base to add a water division. defeated Zheng Chenggong's son Zheng Jin, who stayed in Kinmen, Xiamen and other places, and seized Xiamen, Kinmen and other islands, Zheng Jin escaped into Taiwan with only a few dozen ships. He led more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians to surrender with Huang Ting and others, and the enemy ships and ordnance were not counted. Since then, it can only be confined to a corner of Taiwan.
And Chen Tai (don't be fooled by his name, this is one of the eight pure Manchurian nobles, the grandson of the first group of Eyidu to follow Nurhachi. The people of Manchuria with the Yellow Flag, like his grandfather Yidusun, are known for their bravery. The first conferral of Baya Lajia Lazhangjing. The battle of fame was when facing the Ming army that came from Ningyuan to aid Jinzhou, Chen Tai's ancestors went straight into the Ming army, beheaded those who held the army, and returned. After entering the customs, he first fought against Li Guo, a tiger who commanded Li Zicheng's troops, in Jingzhou and defeated it. After that, he fought against the army of the Lu Wang regime of the Ming army in Fujian, successively defeated the generals Cao Dahao and Zhang Yaoxing of the Lu Wang's subordinates, drove Zheng Cai into the sea, and captured and beheaded the governor Gu Shichen and other eleven people set up by the Lu Wang's regime, and beheaded him, and the entire Lu Wang's regime in Fujian and Zhejiang was flattened by him.
Huang Taiji sent these children of Manchurian aristocratic officials of the Eight Banners to serve in front of the Dolgon army, saying that it was a team to train young people, that it was to plant eyeliner in the Dolgon army, and that it was okay to mix sand between the two white flags that could not be splashed with water. Dolgon also knew this. However, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
For this group of noble children, Dolgon is also used by quantity, and those who can fight and fight naturally have to focus on promotion, anyway, Huang Taiji has already handed over the right to make decisions on the spot, so he simply let go of his hands and feet. These Eight Banners Sect disciples you sent, I will have a good chance of getting around and making them work for me!
These were originally the sons of the aristocratic clan who had only one worldly position on their heads, but since they came to Dolgon, most of them have real jobs, managing one or two Niu Lu's coated people, although most of them are insufficient, and most of them are composed of Han troops and Bao Yi, but they are always a Niu Lu compilation. With a place to use in Dolgon, and being able to rise to the top and make a fortune, these young Manchurian children gradually had the intention of attaching themselves to the Dolgon brothers.
This circle and the hill became more and more united as Li Huamei's artillery fire became more and more intense. Li Huamei never dreamed that her cannonballs would actually achieve Dolgon and expand a circle beyond the boundaries of the Eight Banners.
"Tower Mountain!"
This is the general name of later generations for this group of Manchurian children of the Eight Banners.
"I've seen Lord Rui!"
"Minions! Let's talk less nonsense, Wu Sangui's dog is storming Du Du Belle, don't you always say that this king doesn't give you the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and now the opportunity has come! ”
Dolgon ordered Li Shutai, Chen Tai, Arzin and others, each leading the headquarters of Niu Lu, to go down to answer Du Du!
However, just when the young talents of the Eight Banners were gearing up to attack, a great change took place in the second line of defense! (To be continued......)
