Chapter 682: Breaking through the first line of defense
The Persians were careless, and they didn't know that the number of ladders for the Qing army to climb the wall suddenly tripled, and the Qing army that landed on the city was also changed from ordinary soldiers to brave soldiers of the Eight Banners.
Ao Bai personally went out and soon was the first to climb the stone wall.
The Persian soldier on the stone wall saw that another Qing soldier had climbed up, and when he saw the figure of this Qing soldier, the Persian soldier was frightened. More than a dozen Persian soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed forward with scimitars and steel spears to kill the sturdy Qing soldier.
There is no doubt that this Qing soldier is Aobai.
Ao Bai smiled fiercely, and the steel knife in his hand tightened and met it.
"Poof! Burst! Poof"
Ao Bai slashed hard, and there were several loud sounds of steel fighting, and Ao Bai had killed three Persian soldiers in an instant in a row, which was really extremely brave, and scared the remaining few Persian soldiers to turn white.
At this time, a large number of Manchurian people suddenly climbed the city wall from the ladder.
The people were brave, and Ao Bai alone emptied the surrounding ten meters of stone walls, killing more than 20 Persian soldiers in a short time, and the Persian soldiers behind him were scared and did not dare to continue to attack Ao Bai.
The other Manchus were not weak, the Manchus were not afraid of death, these Manchus were still the elite of the elite specially selected from the tens of thousands of Manchu Eight Banners, and only a few dozen people climbed up to kill the Persian soldiers on the stone wall and retreated.
More and more Manchus climbed the stone wall from the ladder, and under the leadership of Ao Bai, they gathered together and began to storm the stone wall on a large scale, and at this time, the original fierce artillery fire and dense arrow rain had stopped, and the battle evolved into a battle for the stone wall.
"Quick, fight back! At this time, the Persians finally reacted completely, and some Persian generals roared angrily, constantly ordering more and more Persian soldiers to climb the stone wall from the stairs to drive the Qing soldiers on the stone wall down.
However, although the Persians were in a steady stream and had an absolute advantage in numbers, at this time, more than 200 Manchus had also boarded, and the climate had already formed under the personal leadership of Aobai.
Ao Bai's eyes were a little red, he took the lead, the steel knife continued to chop, killing a Persian soldier who rushed over, relying on the bravery of the Manchurian soldiers around him, Ao Bai with more than 200 people was nearly ten times their Persian soldiers defeated and retreated, and he really deserved his name as the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty.
"Kill! Kill! Kill" Ao Bailie roared angrily, murderous and wanton, like a bloody god of war.
At this time, the number of Manchus who climbed the stone wall had exceeded three hundred, and the advantage began to be completely biased towards Manchus.
When all the 500 Manchurians climbed the stone wall, ordinary Persian soldiers began to climb up one after another.
Soon, including the Manchurians, there were more than 800 Qing soldiers on the stone wall, and the scale completely fell to the Qing army.
Under the command of Aobai, the Qing army on the stone wall began to fight for the stone wall on a large scale, and soon occupied most of the stone wall, going down in the direction of the stone staircase, intending to enter the fortress from the stone staircase and fully capture the first stone wall defense line.
Even if there were many Persian soldiers, they were constantly defeated by the Qing army.
Soon, more and more Persian soldiers began to desperately escape from the stone stairs to the stone wall, and the stone wall was soon fully occupied by the Qing army.
The stone wall was lost, and the Persian soldiers were killed in horror, and the only outcome was not to break the rout.
Ao Bai was covered in blood, and soon led the Qing army to kill under the stone wall, occupied the stone wall doorway, and a large number of Qing soldiers began to move the stones that blocked the stone wall doorway, and wanted to let the Qing army outside the fortress iron cavalry kill in.
"Hail Allah! Kill the enemy! "At the moment of emergency, General Ah Ma Dan couldn't sit still, and personally came to the front line of the first stone wall to command.
"For Allah's sake, kill!" Allah is undoubtedly the best excuse to motivate the Persian soldiers. The Persian soldiers began to resist the defeat for a short time, and the Qing army was in a stalemate, in the end, the Persian soldiers had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the Qing soldiers who climbed the stone wall and attacked the fortress from under the stone wall were only more than 3,000 soldiers.
Although the Qing army was stronger than the Persian soldiers, even if two or three people were exchanged for one, they could not kill the Persian soldiers.
The rate at which Qing soldiers were killed and wounded began to exceed the speed at which they climbed up the stone wall from outside the fortress through forty ladders.
The battle was extremely fierce, and under the fierce battle, even the brave and extraordinary Ao Bai was wounded twice, but they were both minor injuries, so as not to affect him too much to kill the Persian soldiers.
Although the war began to develop in a direction unfavorable to them at a very fast speed, Ao Bai was not in a hurry, and a small part of the stones in the stone wall door hole had been cleared, and the Qing soldiers inside and outside the door began to bury a large amount of gunpowder in the stones in the door hole.
On the stone wall, there were two Qing soldiers waving the order flag in unison, and the Qing soldiers on both sides of the door hole lit the ** fuse at the same time.
"Boom"
I only heard a violent explosion, and the door hole of the first stone wall was exploded by the ** buried inside and outside at the same time.
Gravel is splashing, and the waves are blazing.
The "boom" door hole was blown open, and the eight banners of iron cavalry were full, and the servant cavalry began to ride their horses into the fortress from the door hole.
The Persian commander, General Ahmadan, was pale, the general trend had gone, and the first line of stone wall defense was no longer defensible.
"Quick, retreat to the second line of stonewall defense!" General Ahmadan ordered.
The Persian soldiers in the first line of defense began to flee in rapid order towards the second line of defense.
"Kill"
The Qing cavalry took the opportunity to chase and kill, killing a large number of Persian soldiers in front of the second stone wall doorway, and the blood stained the soil in the first stone wall defense.
With the capture of the first line of stone wall defense by the Qing army, the total losses of the Persian soldiers reached 30,000 and suffered heavy casualties.
The remaining 50,000 Persian soldiers held the second and third lines of stonewalled defense.
The second stone wall defense line, the Persian soldiers stood on the second stone wall more than ten meters high and shot a large number of arrows to prevent the Qing soldiers from approaching the second stone wall.
The Qing soldiers also fired a large number of arrows in response, and there were many casualties on both sides, and the battlefield began to shift to the second line of stone wall defense.
"Newspaper"
"Qiyu Regent, the first stone wall defense line has been taken!" A Qing soldier came to report.
"Okay, hahahaha, the Kuhl fortress can be down today!" Dorgon laughed. After taking the first line of defense against the stone wall, he was 100% sure that he would be able to break through the three lines of defense within today and completely take the fortress of Chur.
"Order, transfer all artillery to the first stone wall and shell the second and third stone wall defenses!" Dolgon's solemn and vicious order.
