Chapter 199: Duoduo's Panic (3)
"Kill" Under the shock of Duoduo, the soldiers of the Han Banner Army also sacrificed their lives to fight as usual!
For the sake of sustenance in their hearts, their morale is not weak.
Seeing this, Duoduo finally smiled, the Han people will always be the pawns under their eight banners!
"Sons of white flags! You've got your chance! "Attack" In order to take Linyi as quickly as possible and break the weirdness just now, the most elite white flag iron cavalry under Duoduo is the most elite.
"Boom" war horses neighed, and thousands of iron horsemen with white flags rushed towards the city of Linyi.
Among the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the combat power of Duoduo's white flag is only slightly weaker than that of Dorgon's white flag, ranking second among the eight banners, and there are many brave and capable warriors under its banner, and their archery skills are superb!
After thousands of people with white flags rushed to Linyi City, they rode on a war horse and shot arrows, and the Manchurians deserved to grow up on horseback, one by one with superb archery skills, and the Ming army on the city wall was shot down almost as soon as they showed up!
Rain of arrows is intensive! The soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall almost did not dare to pavement the road, and the Han Banner army who climbed the city wall suddenly lost their pressure and climbed faster!
"Projectile!" A general with a white flag coldly ordered.
Thousands of arrows formed a rain of arrows, throwing them into the sky, and after the arrows lost their strength at a height of tens of meters, they rained down like rain on the Ming army on the city wall!
"Snort" blood flowed! The soldiers of the Ming army on the city wall were shot into hedgehogs by countless rain of arrows, and suffered heavy losses for a while.
Not only inlaid with white flags, tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen also rode war horses to cruise under the city of Linyi, throwing arrows towards the city wall! Cleared the obstacles on the city wall for the Han Banner Army to ascend the city and successfully climbed the city wall.
Such an offensive was more than twice as ferocious as the previous two days.
"Lord Commander, it's not good! Youqinglu has begun to climb the city wall! "A general manager of the Ming army urgently came to report to Jiang Wei.
"Send more soldiers and kill them immediately!" Jiang Wei shouted, asking a general of Qian to lead hundreds of Ming army soldiers to reinforce the broken city wall.
Due to the large number of white flags and the addition of the Mongols, the rain of arrows shot from outside the city was intensive, and the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, but in just one hour, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded!
"Order all archers to climb the walls and return fire!" Jiang Wei didn't dare to have reservations, he had to suppress the rain of arrows outside the city, otherwise it would be good to be able to keep it until dark.
Casualties up to now, there are about 12,000 Ming soldiers in Linyi City, plus more than 1,000 young men who have arrived one after another, about 13,000 people, if there are more than 1,000 casualties every hour, you have to guard until dark, at least nearly 10,000 casualties!
Although after the encouragement in the early morning, the soldiers were greatly bloody, Jiang Wei was still not sure whether the remaining soldiers could still withstand nearly 10,000 casualties without collapsing!
"It's useless to be afraid! Only resign to fate! Kill" Jiang Wei suddenly dodged an arrow shot at him, and personally led his own soldiers to fight! In any case, they must also guard until dark, otherwise even if they want to abandon the city and evacuate now, they will never escape the pursuit of the Qing army's iron cavalry!
Three hours later, Linyi City is still not broken!
Dodor had a gloomy face! Thinking of those terrifying shouts coming from Linyi City in the early morning, Duoduo felt a little panicked in his heart! The Han people in the city seem to have changed a lot, and their blood has increased greatly!
"Herald! Capture Linyi, the whole army is a long time! Dodor looked cold.
Originally, in order to buy the hearts of the people, at the beginning of the Qing army's entry into the customs, Dolgon issued a strict order not to allow his army to plunder the people, but Duoduo couldn't take care of this, if he couldn't capture it as soon as possible, and bloody Linyi, he couldn't reduce the panic in his heart, anyway, there were many Han people, and it was a big deal to kill all the Han people in Linyi!
The momentum of the Qing army is like a rainbow, and the offensive is even worse!
Even if more than 30 counties were captured in succession, as well as the losses of the two days of attacking Linyi, the Qing army under Duoduo still had 180,000 troops, although with the topography of Linyi, the Qing army attacked at most 30,000 people at a time, but the Qing army was continuous, and the Ming defenders in the city were constantly decreasing, at this moment, there were only more than 7,000 people left, and there were still more than two hours before dark.
Jiang Wei held a sharp sword in his hand, and once again personally led the army to defeat a wave of Qing troops rushing up the city wall, and several wounds on his body were bleeding, making him deeply tired. Jiang Wei's martial arts are not very strong, and he has been fighting for most of the day, if it weren't for the guards by his side, he would definitely not be able to hold on to now.
Jiang Wei was full of bitterness, although he really wanted to retire and rest, but he was the chief general of Linyi, if he still left the city tower for no reason in the war, the morale of the remaining soldiers would definitely plummet, and the Qing army was likely to take the opportunity to break the city! He can't rest!
"Long live Daming! Swear not to be a slave to the country! Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and shouted with his sword!
At this moment, he can only use this to motivate himself and boost morale! No matter what, he will hold out until dark, as soon as it gets dark, he can lead the rest of the men and horses to abandon the city and evacuate!
Jiang Wei's shouts and hard fighting made the soldiers at the head of the city see it, and at this time they were shocked to realize that the general soldier who was not decisive enough to do things usually and seemed a little timid was so brave.
"Long live Daming! Swear not to be a slave to the country! "Some soldiers were inspired by Jiang Wei's bloody fight! The blood was raised, and after raising his arms and roaring, he struggled to fight with the Qing army who climbed the city wall!
More and more soldiers followed and shouted, this is a cry that seems to have magical power, and everyone who shouted it was full of morale, and it seemed that a lot of strength could be born in the body.
"Swear not to be a slave to the country!" A Ming soldier was originally forced to the guardrail of the city wall by a Qing soldier, and he was about to be killed because of his physical exhaustion, but suddenly after this roar, he staggered the steel knife of the Qing soldier in front of him, slashed hard, and finally killed the Qing soldier in front of him!
Originally, Linyi had almost reached the most dangerous juncture, but inspired by this sudden morale, he once again pressed all the Qing soldiers who attacked the city wall, and Linyi's defense was stable again.
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Wei grinned, no matter what, he Jiang Wei will definitely leave his name in today's battle!
"Hateful!" Duoduo Tie blushed and stared at Linyi! I can't believe it!
Linyi is not a big town! Although it is backed by mountains on both sides, there is no moat, and the walls are not very high! Before attacking Linyi, he knew that the Ming army in Linyi City was only more than 24,000 people, and after three days of fighting, at least nearly 20,000 casualties! In other words, the Ming army in the city has a maximum of several thousand, and the casualties are so heavy that the Ming army has not collapsed, which is unimaginable! When did the cowardly and incompetent Ming army become so bloody, what happened! Why did the Han people change this way?
"Langer, this king orders you to personally lead a team of Eight Banner soldiers to attack the city, and you must attack Linyi within two hours, otherwise you will come to see you!"
"Wow!" A burly white flag general with a full beard led the order, and soon led a thousand white flag soldiers to abandon their horses and turn into foot soldiers to participate in the siege of the city!
Duoduo has done whatever it takes, and even his precious white-flaged soldiers have begun to use them to siege the city!
