Finally, after paying the price of killing more than 300 surrendered Ming troops and the Han people captured before, as well as killing more than 100 cavalry of the Eight Banners, the Jin soldiers passed through the mine array, and the army approached the north gate of Dalinghe City, and began to attack the city frantically. Bayi Chinese ]]].)

Dalinghe is just a small castle, and the construction is not complete, the city wall is not very strong and tall, and the Jin soldiers also transferred red-coated cannons and began to bombard Dalinghe City.

The golden soldiers rushed to Dalinghe City like a tide, and the archers advanced to the bottom of the city, standing in a row and shooting arrows at the city, and countless arrows rushed towards the city like fast-moving black clouds.

The original artillery ammunition in Dalinghe City had already run out, but Mo Li's headquarters carried a lot of ammunition, and there was also a chariot and artillery battalion in the army.

But the artillery of the Ming army is mostly Franc machine guns, the firing range is not far, far inferior to the red-clothed cannons of the Jin soldiers, but the victory lies in the fast frequency of flint shooting, the hit rate is also high, for a time the two sides killed very fiercely, shells, bullets and arrows flew in the air, the scene was spectacular.

Dolgon vowed to avenge his brother, and although the casualties of the Jin soldiers were actually quite large, they still attacked wave after wave, and there was a great tendency to not give up until they captured Dalinghe City.

The golden soldiers relied on the long-range and powerful red-clothed cannons, constantly bombarding the city walls of Dalinghe City, and the cannonballs only smashed the bricks and stones of the city walls, and the dust was flying, and the not tall city walls seemed to be crumbling under the bombardment of the red-clothed cannons.

However, the Jin soldiers could only rely on the power of the red-coated cannon to reckon from a long distance, the Eight Banners rushed close to the city, and the Pingyang army defending the city opened fire fiercely, with flint guns, grenades, bows and arrows and other weapons on the field, as well as traditional city defense equipment such as rolling logs and boulders.

Although arrows rained down on the city, the soldiers of the Pingyang Army relied on the favorable terrain such as the battlements and horns of the city wall, and then used wooden planks and shields and other equipment to cover and dodge, and took the time to return fire at the Jin soldiers, and the killing was inextricable.

Mo Li was under the command to fight back, suddenly heard the south gate also came from the roaring cannons, after a while, the leader of the troops according to the south gate of the Cao Wenzhao sent people to report that Huang Taiji personally led tens of thousands of troops to storm the south gate, and the north gate of the Dolgon formed a flanking situation. It seems that Huang Taiji is pouring out of the nest, and he has to capture Dalinghe City.

All the Pingyang army was at the head of the city to resist the attack of the Jin soldiers, and Wu Xiang also brought 2,000 subordinates to Zu Dashou's barracks this time, at this time I heard that the Jin soldiers came to attack the city, Zu Dashou asked Wu Xiang to lead his subordinates to the city to assist the Pingyang army to defend the city, after all, now they are people in the same boat as the same boat.

Wu Xiang led his troops to the head of the North City Gate, and together with the soldiers of the Pingyang Army, he resisted the siege of the Jin soldiers.

Originally, most of Wu Xiang's subordinates were Guanning iron cavalry trained by Yuan Chonghuan before, and the quality of the soldiers was not bad, but because the main general Wu Xiang was timid and afraid of death, his combat effectiveness deteriorated. If the main general is blindly greedy for life and afraid of death, his subordinates will naturally follow the same example, and they will be timid before fighting.

In the previous battles to rescue Dalinghe City, Wu Xiang repeatedly fled cowardly, and his subordinates were also killed and injured by the Jin soldiers.

When these routs met a timid and cowardly general like Wu Xiang, they had no combat effectiveness at all, and although they all came to the city wall at this time, they basically hid behind the battlements and cowered, not daring to attack.

Huang Taiji led an army of 30,000 to the south city gate, weighed it repeatedly, and also adopted the method of using the captured Han people to clear the mines arranged by the Pingyang army, of course, because there were not many Han prisoners in the camp, the Jin soldiers still paid a lot of casualties.

Originally, after Zhang Chun's army was captured, his subordinate Zhang Hongmo and other generals then surrendered to Huang Taiji, not to mention more than 16,000 people.

But after the night attack on the Jin camp by the Moli troops last night, the Jin soldiers were in chaos, and they couldn't take care of this surrender army, and many of the soldiers who didn't want to surrender had joined the Ming army in the Moli camp anyway. In addition, some of the soldiers were afraid of being investigated by the imperial court, so they took advantage of the chaos to flee the battlefield of the Daling River and did not know where to go.

Now only a few hundred soldiers under Huang Taiji's tent did not have time to escape, and all of them were driven by Huang Taiji to go to the mines, and most of them were killed.

Many of the Jin soldiers were also killed and injured by mines, but they finally quickly advanced to the city and launched a fierce bombardment with more than a dozen red-coated cannons.

Cao Wenzhao led his troops to fight back bravely, and the battle was fierce.

After Mo Li received the report, he knew that Cao Wenzhao's subordinates were weaker than the North City Gate, only 15,000 people, but the Jin soldiers were pouring out, so he thought about it for a while, called Zhou Yuji, and asked Zhou Yuji to lead 3,000 men and horses to support Cao Wenzhao.

On the side of the North City Gate, in addition to the 12,000 soldiers and horses under the personal command of Mo Li, there are also 3,000 soldiers under He Kegang, who are also assisting the Pingyang army in defending the city under the leadership of Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, Sima Jian and others. But these 3,000 people had been hungry for two months, and although they had eaten a full meal of porridge in the morning, they basically did not recover any physical strength, and could only do some auxiliary work.

In addition, there are 2,000 remnants led by Wu Xiang, who also have little combat effectiveness.

The battle lasted for a long time, both sides were red-eyed, and the casualties were not light, but the Jin soldiers still held the posture of not dying, and continued to storm Dalinghe City.

At dusk, after withstanding dozens of bombardments from the red-clothed cannons of the golden soldiers, the north gate of Dalinghe City finally couldn't resist anymore and collapsed half of the city gate.

Seeing this, the Jin soldiers were all overjoyed, and they all cheered and rushed towards the collapsed city gate. Abatai, Dudu, Sakhalian and other Baylors personally led the cavalry of the Eight Banners to take the lead and rushed towards the city gate with a roar.

Behind the city gate was Wu Xiang's subordinates, and the Wu soldiers, who were already frightened, looked even more frightened when they saw the city gate collapse, and put fire guns indiscriminately, but when they saw Abatai and others leading the Jin soldiers to rush closer and closer, they didn't know who shouted: "Oh no, the Tartars have entered the city!" Then he turned and ran.

This run, Wu Xiang's subordinates fled one after another, and some even lost their firearms.

At this time, Mo Li, who was commanding on the city wall on the side, was furious when he saw this, and hurriedly said to Cao Bianjiao beside him: "Xiao Cao, hurry! Lead the men to guard the city gates! ”

Cao Bianjiao agreed loudly: "Yes! ”

Then he got down from the city, turned on his horse, and led hundreds of people to rush over.

Seeing this, Ma Jinzhong, who was in charge of repelling the enemy on the other side of the city gate, also hurriedly ordered Tong Sledgehammer to lead hundreds of people to the city gate.

The Jin soldiers saw that the city gate had collapsed, and they were greatly excited, and one by one they rushed to the city gate with a scream like chicken blood, completely ignoring the arrows and bullets shot by the Ming army, and after a while, nearly a thousand gold soldiers rushed to the city gate and fought fiercely with Cao Bianjiao's department who had just arrived.

The Jin soldiers poured in more and more, and Mo Li couldn't care about scolding Wu Xiang for being a despicable bastard, so he hurriedly dispatched soldiers and horses from all over the place to support the city gate. Since the two sides were already in a state of mixing, the shells and bullets were basically unable to shoot at the city gates, and the soldiers on both sides were wielding knives and guns and fighting bloodily.

The Jin soldiers outside the city didn't know whether they were aware of Mo Li's enemy commander or whether it was purely a mistake, and a cannonball whistled over Mo Li's head, probably because the angle of fire was not corrected, and it exploded two feet behind Mo Li, blowing up bricks and stones.

But this also frightened He Zhenbei, who was following Mo Li, to the point that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said loudly: "General! Get out of town! It's dangerous here! ”

Mo Li's personal army commander has never had a suitable candidate, and Lin Guo and Liang Peijun have always been in charge of his personal affairs, including security guards. Now Lin Guoyuan is waiting to give birth in Lingchuan City, Liang Peijun was injured by an arrow in the early morning, and he is recuperating in He Kegang's big tent, and He Zhenbei has assumed the responsibility of Moli's personal commander.

Mo Li was also scared into a cold sweat, if this Jin Bing's cannonball was a little more accurate, he was afraid that he would burp. At the moment, he no longer insisted, and hurriedly ran down the city with He Zhenbei, Xiao Yang, Sima Jian and others, retreated to a high place hundreds of meters behind, and continued to command the battalions to defend the city.

Not long after Mo Li withdrew, two shells fell on the head of the city where Mo Li had just stood, blowing up the city wall.

Mo Li looked back and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fortunately he ran fast!

He Zhenbei was even more frightened, if he was a step late, something would happen to the general...... He couldn't imagine what it would be.

Although Cao Bianjiao was brave and invincible, there were more and more golden soldiers, and he relied on the power of the red-clothed cannon to rush into the city frantically.

The Ming army was somewhat unable to resist, so they had to fight and retreat, and the two sides started street battles.

Wu Xiang fled in a hurry with his subordinates, and when he saw that the Jin soldiers had already attacked the city gate, he was even more frightened, and hurriedly went back to find Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou was discussing with Zhang Cunren and his sons in the big tent at this time how to deal with the aftermath of He Kegang, and rescued Zu Dale, Zu Zerun and others, suddenly Wu Xiang ran in in a panic and said: "Zu Shuai, it's not good, the Tartars are attacking the city!" ”

"What!"

Zu Dashou was taken aback, Huo Ran stood up, and said urgently: "How can this be? Didn't that Moli have an army of 30,000? Isn't he very capable of fighting? Why can't you keep it for even a day! ”

Wu Xiang also said in a panic: "Zu Shuai, the one surnamed Mo will only be in the nest!" Besides, the Tartars got a lot of Hongyi (clothes) cannons out of nowhere, and the artillery fire is very fierce! It didn't take long for the city gate to collapse, it seems that Huang Taiji is attacking the city like crazy this time! What to do? What to do? ”

Zu Zepu also stood up in a panic and shouted, "Father, what should we do?" I knew that I should have gone to the Golden Camp last night to surrender! ”

Zu Dashou glared at Zu Zepu, and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing! What nonsense! ”

Although the big tent is now full of his own people, it is difficult to ensure that the wall has ears, especially Zhang Cunren himself does not agree with surrender, now that Moli's army is coming, I am afraid that he will not surrender, although it is now fiercely killed, but it is difficult to say who wins and who loses.

Zu Dashou looked at Zhang Cunren and said, "Cunren, what do you think we should do?" It's a pity that our brothers have been hungry for so long, and I am afraid they will not be able to recover without ten days and a half of recuperation! Now even if they are told to run, they can't outrun others, let alone go to the battlefield. ”

Zhang Cunren is also very embarrassed, it stands to reason that if Zu Dashou's more than 10,000 subordinates can still fight, they should naturally take up arms and resist the Tartars with the Pingyang army, but now that the soldiers are weak, how can they go into battle to kill the enemy?

But if you choose to surrender, won't you be looked down upon? Knowing that reinforcements have come, but they still choose to surrender to the Tartars, Mo will not kill himself after leaving them?

Besides, Huang Taiji was beaten by the Ming army last night, and now he has surrendered, Huang Taiji may not be willing to accept it, right?
