Chapter 570: Liaobei Raiders 5
Wanyan Zonggan's own despair seriously affected the fighting will of the remnants of the last Jin army in the East.
When the Chinese army had just left Shenzhou and went north, Wanyan Zonggan still had about 4,000 Jin army armor soldiers who could fight, and there were many Jurchen clan chiefs who had earned benefits through trading with the Jin army, and when they were drunk, they shouted to help Wanyan Zonggan deal with Xu Shiyang, and these people could still make up 12,000 strong men in their hands at that time.
However, when Xu Shiyang arrived at the Songhua River, only half of the Jurchen tribe who dared to go to Aihui to trade with Wanyan Sect was left, and these people probably had 5,000 strong men, and they never mentioned the matter of resisting the Chinese army together.
As soon as the "Eradication of Wanyan" came out, and then after Aihui was completely surrounded, the last Shengjuzhen also disappeared, and none of the Shengjurchen came to Aihui to reinforce Wanyan Zonggan.
Not only that, even the 4,000 people in the headquarters of the Yan Sect are now less than 2,000 left.
Of the remaining troops, eight hundred were in Yaksa, and the rest all fled.
With less than 2,000 armor soldiers, facing almost 20,000 Chinese field soldiers, 20,000 auxiliary soldiers and 30,000 servant troops, it is impossible to win even if Yan Zonggan is a god descends to earth.
At this point, everyone, including Wanyan Zonggan himself, knew that at this time, everything was decided, and no matter what he did, it was just the last struggle.
September 12, six o'clock in the morning.
In 1791, the first snow in northern Liaoning was falling one after another.
There was no persuasion to surrender, and there was no special warning, and the Chinese army launched a general attack on Aihui.
First of all, the 5 catties and 10 catties of field artillery of the field army spoke, and it took half an hour to open a gap in each of the four city walls of Aihui, and then followed, and the Waibo tribesmen who prepared their own food and grass launched an attack, and the Chinese field army stuck the gap in the city gate and the city wall, and waited quietly.
The Jurchen tribesmen swarmed towards the gap, and the last Jin defenders mustered up the courage to return fire with bows and arrows, but due to the lack of troops, the feathered arrows that fought back were sparse and powerless.
On the south gate where Xu Shiyang was located, the Sheng Jurchen, who lacked armor, paid the price of dozens of casualties, and rushed into the gap in the city wall with a wooden shield, followed by a scream, and the defenders on the city wall on both sides threw down a lot of large stones to block the gap, and those who rushed in first were isolated and easily killed by the defenders.
The Waifan soldiers reluctantly retreated.
Xu Shiyang looked at his watch, the time was around 7:20, from the attack of the Waifan soldiers to the first attack was repulsed, but it was only a little more than a quarter of an hour.
"All the foreign soldiers who retreated just now, choose one out of ten."
Xu Shiyang said lightly:
"Tell them to attack again in two quarters of an hour."
"Artillery fire."
Amid the rumbling sound of artillery, the heads of 300 foreign soldiers were cut off and piled up in the open space in front of the Chinese army's position.
The Waibo soldiers were silent, this time they killed more deserters than in the battle just now, and it was obvious that today's Chinese army still can't trust them, the Waibo tribes, and plan to consume a little more of their strength.
Before the second attack, Xu Shiyang directly sent the supervision team to the front line, and the bayonets of the Chinese soldiers were directly against the backs of the foreign soldiers, without the slightest mercy, and no one was allowed to cross the supervision team to the rear as soon as the charge horn sounded.
His order was clear, anyone who retreated without receiving an order to retreat would be put to death, one person would be killed, and one group would be killed.
Shortly before 8 o'clock, the trumpet sounded again, and when the trumpet was heard, the Overseer began to move slowly.
Before the Jurchens at the back of the Waibo team could figure out the situation, they were stabbed to death by the Warlords, and the screams shocked the Jurchens and forced them to rush forward with an inhuman howl.
"Rush!" When several tribal leaders saw that the Chinese army was coming, they desperately shouted: "The Han people want to kill the tail of the team!" ”
This time, at the forefront of the Waibo soldiers were the chiefs and the bravest warriors of each tribe, and their equipment was generally much stronger than that of the strong men of other tribes, at least a homemade shield and an iron sword.
The Waifan soldiers swarmed up, and from the perspective of the Aihui defenders, their eyes were full of layers of shields, and the feather arrows shot on them sounded, but they couldn't shake the shield array at all.
The Waifan soldiers soon approached near the gap in the half-blocked city wall of the Jin army, and the Shengnuzhen did not have the right tools, so they desperately used their swords, spears and axes to pry the stones and dirt bags, and the defenders kept throwing down rolling stones and wooden mines, smashing the Waifan soldiers into the dust.
However, no one retreated, and no one dared to retreat, and the Chinese army overseers stood one hundred and fifty paces away from the city wall, and although they were not advancing, anyone who dared to retreat behind the overseers was in a different place.
Fortunately, the birth of the Jurchen occupies an absolute advantage in troops, and when there is no way to retreat, the barbarian nature comes up, and he doesn't care about life and death, but just blindly rushes through the gap, and the stones and dirt bags used by the Jin army to plug the mouth are decreasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, the Chinese soldiers entered the battle, and the riflemen took the company as a unit, under the command of the company commander's bamboo whistle, and fired a salvo at the head of Aihui City.
Under the bullets flying sideways, the city was screaming, and the strength of the Jin army's counterattack was instantly weakened a lot, and the Waifan soldiers were encouraged by this, and more quickly opened up the stones and soil bags, and soon the gap was opened again, and several Waifan soldiers rushed into the city shouting.
A row of Jurchen armor soldiers stood behind the gap, using heavy arrows to shoot the Waifan soldiers in front of the door, after a round of heavy arrows, they skillfully threw a wave of broad-bladed flying swords, flying axes, javelins and other weapons, and knocked down a few Waifan soldiers, and then the last elite of these Jin Army pulled out heavy cold weapons such as two-handed heavy arrows and tiger tooth broadswords, let out a shout, rubbed their bodies and pounced!
The Waifan soldiers, who had not gained a firm foothold in the city, were instantly pushed back by this fierce counter-impact, and the Waifan soldiers fought and retreated, while the Jin army wearing bright silver iron armor cut into the formation of the Waifan soldiers like a knife cutting tofu, smashing left and right, and killing wildly.
"Fire!"
Rumble!
A wave of shotguns flew in, covering all the Jin Army's armor soldiers and Waifan soldiers who were mixed together, and the Jin Army's counterattack was instantly stopped.
At the same time as the foreign soldiers and the Jin army were holding each other just now, the Chinese army pushed two 10-pound field guns near the gap, and while the Jin army counterattacked, they did not hesitate to open fire, using double shotguns to wash the scorching battlefield.
This kind of killing without distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy once again made the Waifan soldiers feel cold all over their bodies, which was not only an incontagible force, but also proved that the Chinese army had the idea of using this kind of force to kill the Waifan soldiers together.
Now, the Waifan soldiers realized that the best way to survive was to completely kill the Jin soldiers before the Chinese army could find a reason to kill them, and quickly end this terrifying battle.
So, in the rear, with the order of the Chinese army, more foreign soldiers crossed the warlords and poured into the gap in the city wall.
And this time, the Jin army, which was weak in strength, could no longer resist the attack.
