Chapter 504: All-out Siege of the Fort
"Bastard! Don't run! Give it all back to this king!
Seeing that in his own military formation, someone was beaten by the Tang army defending the city with a crossbow arrow, and Duoduo's face was distorted with anger. Shame on you! The Tang army didn't even have a chance to fight each other, so they were shot into chaos and retreated, losing more than 1,500 people in vain.
"Listen, kill all these guys who retreated and fled on the spot!
“
“!
As the squires threw their swords and slashed at the deserters, Duoduo drew his sharp swords and stabbed at one of the fleeing Han soldiers. With a soft pop, the sharp sword stabbed the Han soldier in cotton armor, and the deserter's chest suddenly gushed out a large cloud of blood mist, and he fell to his knees and knelt on the ground.
"Mother......
The deserter had just shouted these two words in a miserable tone, and Dodor was already screaming and slashing with a sword, and with a soft thud, his head was slashed off at the base of his neck. The head with two tiny braids rose from the blood-spurting neck, arced through the air, and then fell to the snow and rolled bonelessly, stained with snow foam and black mud, until it was gone. Duoduo kicked over the headless corpse of the Han army, roared again, and slashed at another fleeing Qing soldier. After Duoduo and his attendants slashed and slaughtered, the deserters were finally stopped, and the Qing army gradually stabilized.
"The whole army obeyed the order, continued to push the car up to attack, until it reached the moat, and then hid behind the car and fired at close range!
"Dord, whose face was covered in blood because he was slashing and killing deserters, gasped for the order.
The minions obeyed!
"Duoduo's meaning, in fact, is obvious, that is, since the enemy crossbow arrows at the head of the city are so powerful, so that the Qing army can not show their heads at all, it is better to let the Qing army push the car closer, and then hide behind the car and throw, not to seek accuracy, but to seek that under the number of Qing troops who still have nearly 20,000 people, the Qing army can shoot the Tang crossbowmen hiding behind the city wall that has not yet been built. It should be said that this is the best response that Duoduo can take when the situation is so helpless. As a result, the earth-shattering war drums rumbled again, and the piercing swan trumpets sounded one after another. The Qing army rose to the occasion, roared like a beast in unison, and continued to push the cart forward. At this time, the head of the west gate of Vladivostok Fort fell into silence again. Those Tang crossbowmen, while reloading their crossbow arrows, kept a close eye on the dynamics of the Qing army, waiting for the next wave of probe attacks from the Qing army. It's just that they were a little disappointed to see that these Qing soldiers had all become shrunken turtles, and they could only hide behind the car and move forward slowly, but they didn't dare to poke their heads out at all. Li Dingguo frowned and watched the Qing army continue to move forward like this, nervously considering how the Qing army would act next.
"All pay attention, be prepared, and strictly guard against tricks!
“
"Order!
The snow was flying all over the sky, the wind was roaring, and the crossbowmen of the Tang Army on the city wall were silently looking at one Qing army vehicle after another, pushing with a squeak, getting closer and closer. When they reached the moat that had frozen into a crystal ice belt, the cars of the Qing army lined up and slowly stopped. Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the Tang Army, including Li Dingguo, were not puzzled. The Qing army parked the car here, but did it want to make a fuss? All the people were puzzled and uneasy, and from behind the Qing army vehicles, a continuous sound of bows and arrows suddenly broke out, and countless sharp arrows shot into the air in a parabolic shape, and then crossed an arc in the air, shooting towards the Tang army defenders on the entire western city wall. The collective projectile of nearly 20,000 Qing troops, dense with arrows overwhelming, emitting a crisp scream, like a flock of birds released by death, swooped down on the crossbowmen of the Tang army who were caught off guard at the head of the city.
"Dingding, ding! ……
"This is the sound of arrows hitting the big iron shield in front of you. When the arrow hits the shield, it sends out a flash of sparks, which are immediately splashed away by the missile.
"Puff puff! ……
"This is the sound of one of the few arrows that are lucky enough to pass through the big shield and shoot into the body of the crossbowman behind them. Although the crossbowmen wore standard two-piece breastplates, their faces and hands were still very weakly defended, so that although they were protected from being shot, they could not resist such a dense attack of arrows. As a result, in the Tang army's array, there were Tang army crossbowmen screaming loudly from time to time, and there were even many crossbowmen who were hit by arrows, who were shot upside down by the powerful momentum of the arrows, and fell from the city wall, either dead or disabled. The Qing army's volley of arrows caused at least more than 200 Tang crossbowmen to be killed and wounded.
"Attention crossbowmen! Crouch down on the spot, dodge the arrows, and the wounded crossbowmen retreat to fill the walls, where they are replaced by reserve crossbowmen!
Li Dingguo, a sorcerer who was densely protected by a group of guards holding shields, shouted at the soldiers who gave orders. Hearing Li Dingguo's order, the crossbowmen hiding behind the shields all hurriedly squatted, leaning against the shield soldiers who were kneeling with shields, hooking their heads, and dodging the arrows falling from the sky as much as possible.
"Brothers, hold on, the Qing army's throwing, at most seven or eight rounds, will stop because of arm failure, then, let's see again, these shrunken turtles, what other bird tricks can there be!" In the rain of arrows, Li Dingguo yelled at the soldiers defending the city and cheered them up.
It's just that no one expected that when they saw the crossbowmen of the Tang army at the head of the city began to retreat to avoid the rain of arrows, the bows and arrows of the Qing army also stopped.
The Qing army, who was originally hiding behind the car, saw that the crossbowmen of the Tang Army had squatted down to avoid the arrows, they had no worries and walked out of the protection of the car one after another.
The Qing army, who was laughing loudly, pulled the bowstring from time to time and fired arrows, these sharp heavy arrows, ruthless and accurate, hit the shield soldiers who accidentally exposed their hands, feet or faces.
For a time, the attack and defense changed, and the Tang army defending the city began to change extremely much. They knew that under the premise that the Qing army now had the initiative to attack, they would no longer be able to stand up and fight back, and everyone knew that as long as the crossbowman probed, what was waiting for him would be an extremely powerful arrow.
Seeing that the Qing army had suddenly changed so rampantly, Li Dingguo gritted his teeth with hatred. originally expected that the Qing army would keep throwing and eventually lose arm strength, so that their crossbowmen could fight back again, but they didn't expect that these guys were extremely cunning and refused to consume arm strength needlessly, but now that they had suppressed the Tang army, they used piecemeal tactics, which caught Li Dingguo off guard for a while.
Now he wants to use the artillery at the head of the city to give these Tartars a head-on attack, how can they be so rampant and presumptuous.
It's just that in this snowy weather, the barrel and fire door of the cannon have been filled with snowflakes and frozen water, and it is impossible to fire the cannon.
And in the distance, when he saw that the Qing army finally took the initiative and the Tang army defending the city couldn't raise his head, Huang Taiji, who had been watching the battle with a clairvoyant mirror, finally showed a smile on his face.
"Wow, Duoduo did a good job, although our army paid a certain price, but finally suppressed the Tang army, so if this is the case, then divide the troops into two ways and continue to attack Vladivostok Fort." Huang Taiji sneered.
Immediately, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Dolgon, listen to orders!" ”
"Brother is here!" Dorgon said yes.
"I am with you, lead 20,000 elite soldiers, march with siege ladders, and attack this western city wall with all my might, no need to worry about the loss of soldiers, I must take the western wall of Vladivostok Fort!"
“! Brother obeys! After Dolgon hurriedly retreated, the Emperor Taiji shouted, "Where is Abatai!
Abatai hurriedly stepped forward: "Abatai is here, what does the emperor command?"
“
"Abatai, I will quickly lead 10,000 elite soldiers from you, divide them into two parts, and take advantage of the fact that the enemy's forces are attracted to this western wall, bring siege objects such as crash cars, sweep through both sides of this Vladivostok fort, and attack the east entrance of its only entrance, if you can break open the gate of its fortress and take its city, I will give you the first credit!"
Hearing Huang Taiji's order, Abatai's eyes lit up, and he promised loudly: "Please rest assured that the emperor will complete the task below!" "The war drums rumbled, the trumpets shook the sky, the flags flew, the Qing army surged like a rolling tide, the momentum was extremely huge, and their beast-like shouts were like wild furious rolls, and they completely covered the howling wind.
At the head of the city, seeing the Qing army attacking like this, Li Dingguo's face had become very solemn.
Well, the Qing army invested heavy troops, and the troops came to attack in multiple ways, it seems that they really want to defeat Vladivostok Fort in one fell swoop.
Li Dingguo carefully watched the movements of the Qing army, and quickly judged the direction and route of the Qing army's attack.
"Zu Kuan listens to orders!"
"The last general!"
"This town is asking you to lead all the crossbowmen to retreat, deploy all the crossbowmen on the three city walls in the southeast and north, intercept and kill the Qing army passing by along the way, and cooperate with the sailors at sea, so that the Qing army must not be allowed to capture the east gate! Be sure to defeat it completely! ”
"The last general understands!" After Zu Kuan finished speaking loudly, he twisted his thick body to say goodbye and immediately started to act. On the city wall of the West Gate, which was originally squatting, the crossbowmen who were so pressed that they couldn't move also went down from the horse road and began to go to the other three city walls to set up defenses.
After leading his troops to retreat from the horse road, Tan Sangou, the crossbow sentry commander, looked regretful. In Fang Cai's two volleys, Tan Sangou fired six crossbow arrows, but only shot two Qing soldiers, which made him feel a little disappointed.
What's more, when the Qing army later fired at close range by projectile, the crossbowmen suddenly suffered a big loss because the situation was unknown, which made him even more angry.
Damn, Lao Tzu fought in the South Seas, spanning thousands of miles, and he has never suffered such a big loss. However, now Tan Sangou has also begun to have a deep understanding of the strong combat power of the Qing army, and he began to know that these Qing prisoners, who have been in battle for a long time and have the title of humanoid beasts, are far stronger than those natives in the south, that is, in the sky and underground, it is not an exaggeration.
Thinking of this, Tan Sangou took a long breath. He thought to himself that these fierce and experienced enemies would be a great and severe test for him.
The degree of hardship and cruelty of this battle may be far beyond my imagination. After these crossbowmen retreated, Li Dingguo ordered all the spearmen, as well as all the rampant troops, and 1,000 auxiliaries, to climb the western city wall and prepare for a brutal hand-to-hand battle with the enemy troops who were climbing the ladder.

This period was characterized by the political manifestation of the total decay of the ruling circles. Since the time of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, politics has become more and more popular, and the dictatorship of eunuchs and traitors in power have appeared.
Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was a famous prodigal monarch who did many ridiculous things. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising in Fujian and Zhejiang led by Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi broke out; the Jingxiang Rebellion led by Liu Tong and Li Yuan; The peasant uprisings in Hebei led by Liu Chong, Liu Chen, Yang Hu and others were all armed struggles of the peasant class against feudal rule on a considerable scale.
After Ming Shizong Zhu Hou succeeded to the throne, he was called
"Jiajing Zhongxing". In fact, he was extremely paranoid, superstitious about Taoism, and pursued immortality, so the traitor Yan Song and his son took the opportunity to steal power and make a mess of state affairs.
Muzon's reign was relatively short, and his politics did not improve much. In the early years of Wanli, the social crisis was already quite serious.
Zhu Yijun was still young when he ascended the throne, and the affairs of the imperial court were actually presided over by Zhang Juzheng, a university scholar. Seeing the seriousness of the ruling crisis, Zhang Juzheng adopted a series of reform measures, hoping to ease social contradictions and enhance the effectiveness of the political power organs through rectification within the ruling group, so as to re-stabilize the rule of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
His rectification of the administration of officials, the strengthening of border defense, the practice of measuring and measuring the land, and the comprehensive implementation of a whip law played a certain positive role at that time, and the national strength was strengthened somewhat.
However, in the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng fell ill and died, and Zhu Yijun immediately changed his ways, so that the self-help movement of the landlord class was abandoned halfway.
Since then, the politics of the Ming Dynasty have continued to slide along the road of **. The corruption of politics in the Wanli period was mainly manifested in two aspects: one was to ignore political affairs, and the other was to be greedy for money and goods.
Zhu Yijun has lived in the palace for many years,
"Ignore everything"1, do not think about state affairs. He called himself
"Jing Shot" is actually fooling around in the palace. At that time, some of his subordinates bluntly criticized him in the recital
"Growing up in a deep palace, living in a simple house, and a royal Wenhua hall is called overwork." 2
"The emperor must drink every night, every drink must be drunk, and every drunk must be angry. After getting drunk, the left and right attendants violated the slightest word, and they were killed under the cane. 3For about twenty of the forty-eight years of his reign, he did not sit in court and listen to the government, and his subordinates often played a chorus
"Staying in China" was not dealt with, so that the court officials had nothing to do, and simply returned to their hometowns to travel in the forest. According to history, in the middle and late Wanli period, because the officials could not see the emperor's face, the concerts they sent were often shelved, and they often returned home after handing over the handbook of Zhishi regardless of their will.
Zhu Yijun thinks that one less official will be one less Yulu4, and he can also be exempted from listening to the officials
"Noise" is clean, so whenever there is a shortage of officials, no one will be sent to fill it5. This bizarre practice brought the central organs of the state to a semi-standstill, greatly contributed to the atmosphere of procrastination in the officialdom, and also opened the door for corruption and perversion of the law by the imperial court and local officials.
Another aspect is Zhu Yijun's greedy nature. In order to satisfy his poor and extravagant life, he spent and accumulated gold and silver goods
In the name of mining and taxation, a large number of eunuchs were sent to serve as mine supervisors and tax envoys to collect people's wealth throughout the country.
Everywhere these mine tax collectors went: 2k reading net
