Chapter 61: The Great War III (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

"Kill!"

Many peasant soldiers rushed to kill again, when the ** bag on the head of the city fell from the sky, they took out the water bag one after another, and extinguished it with water when they saw that the body was on fire.

"One, two, three, bump!" The peasant army shouted in unison, and although there was a rain of arrows and lead bullets on their heads, and their companions fell one by one, they were not afraid at all and continued to attack.

The city gate was quickly pushed open by them, when the city gate was pushed down, the Taiping King smiled proudly, he felt that he had won, the righteous army had won, and then there were so many peasant armies, like ants, piled up in any corner of the entire pass, and those officers and soldiers would have nowhere to hide, even if one person spit spit, the righteous army can drown these hundreds of officers and soldiers here, just the so-called whipping and breaking the river, is this mood.

"Open the city gates, kill me!" The Taiping King is not far behind the team, he likes to stand on the front line, drive his subordinates to keep rushing, as long as there are enough people, sooner or later they can rush in, of course, a lot of people will die, but the dead are too normal for them, that is, the ranks of the righteous army often starve to death, commonplace and accustomed to it, many people no longer regard life as life, like weeds, as long as they can eat a meal, it is not strange to die, it is also worth it.

The city gate collapsed, and what appeared in front of the peasant army was a strange group of people with large iron round shields, iron helmets, and spears, all of them were burly and tall, and the formation was neat, and the ordinary officers and soldiers were not as calm and murderous as they were.

The peasant army continued to rush over with swords, like a swarm of ants, people piled up, people trampled on people, and the perspective outside the city pass was tightly covered.

King Taiping originally thought that after the door was knocked open, with their numerical advantage, they would soon be able to quell the battle here, but after half a ring, he realized that something was wrong, although the gate of the city pass collapsed, but the rebels did not take a step forward at all, and all of them were blocked outside the pass.

The birds, bows and arrows on the head of the city kept shooting, and the peasant army under the head of the city kept people dying, and more and more people died, everywhere, but the peasant army outside the city pass did not advance an inch at all, and slowly the number became smaller and smaller.

"His grandmother's, a bunch of useless things, you can't kill them when the door is closed and opened, what a fucking waste!" King Taiping scolded anxiously.

"King Taiping, have you noticed that those officers and soldiers are very strange, this is the first time I have seen them." The sweeping king looked at the stalemate of the battle, looked at the people who kept dying, and was surprisingly calm.

"What's so strange, Sweeping King, why aren't you in a hurry at all, such a small pass, we have already died thousands of people!" King Taiping looked at the calm sweeping king, and became even more angry.

"It's just a matter of dying people, what's the point of being angry, don't let these people absorb some bullets, do you let the brothers of the old battalion go to death in vain? When the officers and soldiers at the head of the city are tired of killing, and the arrows and ammunition are out of stock, let the old battalion rush over, and they will be able to hit with one blow, King Taiping, calm down. The sweeping king advised, as if he could not see the corpse lying on the ground.

Wuyang Pass here for three days of fighting, the corpses outside the pass are piled up, has emitted a foul smell, flies bite on the corpses, some of the corpses are next to women or children, or the elderly are crying beside them, the war should be their relatives who died in the battle, every night, there is a crying sound in the valley outside the city pass, echoing in the entire Wuyang Pass.

"We've lost more than 2,000 people in the past three days, and we're going to die like this." King Taiping complained.

"I didn't expect this group of officers and soldiers to be so powerful, under our wheel warfare, they could hold out for so long, I don't know where the army came from, they actually have such combat effectiveness, I'm afraid Zu Kuan's Guanning army can't be compared with it." The sweeping king couldn't help but praise, he was very envious of the general at the head of the city, there was such a strong army under his command, although there were only a few dozen people, but they blocked them for three days, they had 5,000 old battalions, plus the cannon fodder he sent before, there were more than 10,000 people, if the ordinary guards saw them, they would have surrendered or fled.

In view of the small number of people at the head of the city, and their position is not suitable for large-scale attacks, the sweeping king divided the cannon fodder into three groups, each group attacked for half a day, so that their cannon fodder could rest, but the officers and soldiers could not rest, but after three days, these people still occupied the city head like nails, not moving at all, and he admired it in his heart.

"Young master, there are only more than thirty people left in our shield battalion, and a few brothers are exhausted to death!" Da Niu lowered his head and said, although he was not afraid of death, he really didn't know how long he could hold on.

"These thieves have become smarter, they have risen in a hurry, so they have hidden a lot of combat effectiveness and can't play it, but now fighting wheel warfare like this can not only maximize combat effectiveness within a narrow range, but also let us have no respite." Yang Baihu said.

"How many more do we have?" Qin Yiming knew that the situation was not optimistic.

"Ma Qianhu and Yang Yanshi have long escaped with their families, and now there are thirty-five people in the shield battalion, one hundred and fifty in the bow and arrow battalion, more than seventy people in the firearms battalion, and three hundred people in the spear battalion have not moved for the time being." The spear battalion is Qin Yiming's reserve force, and it has been useless for Qin Yiming to keep it, but now it seems that he can't keep it.

Early in the morning, Qin Yiming was fighting at the city pass, looking at those tired and fearful soldiers, he knew that now these people understood that they might not be able to hold on for long, and if they continued to be consumed like this, they could not hold on all the time, even if they were all dead.

Since it will be lost sooner or later, then why should it be sent to death here, Qin Yiming personally heard someone whispering like this, and now the military heart is shaken.

"You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, how did I teach you when you train on weekdays, why did you become a soldier?" Qin Yiming suddenly shouted, and the loud voice shook everyone's ears numb.

"Defend the country and the people!" The soldiers said weakly.

"Be louder, I can't hear you!" Qin Yiming shouted.

"Defend the country and the people!" All the soldiers roared.

"Very good, this is Wuyang Pass, behind you is De'an Mansion, that is, our Pingli Fort, there is your home, and my people of the Ming Dynasty, if we retreat today, then those traitors in front of you will drive straight in, and when the time comes, they will burn our fertile land, rape our women, and kill our parents and children, you say, are you willing to let them do this?" Qin Yiming asked with a loud shout.

"I don't want to!"

"Can we retreat then?"

"Can't!"

"Yes, we can't, we must not take a step back, lock up people, shut people down!" Qin Yiming shouted loudly.

"Locked up in people, locked up in people!" The morale of all the soldiers below was mobilized by Qin Yiming at once.
