Chapter 41: The Battle of Duoyan City
At midnight, the moon hung high in the sky, and the camp was finally quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 On the wall of Duoyan City, dozens of dead soldiers dressed in black slipped down from the city head silently along the ropes that had been lowered, and the cat's waist was bent and jumped under the cover of the night, wiping the necks of all the soldiers who were keeping vigil outside the Houjin camp tent.
After the deed was completed, the group of dead soldiers took the lantern of Houjin and turned it in the air three times clockwise and then counterclockwise three times according to the previous agreement, sending a signal to the city that the task had been successfully completed.
Guan Shanyue, who got the signal, waved her hand at the soldiers behind her and whispered, "Start acting!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the gate of Duoyan City suddenly opened, and the soldiers who had been waiting impatiently for more than a thousand years with white cloth strips on their arms rushed out like tigers descending from the mountain.
This group of soldiers in Duoyan City cut down the soldiers who combed their braids when they saw them, and burned the tents when they saw them. In a short time, Houjin's front position turned into a sea of fire.
Amin's own soldiers were not slow to react at all, and just as the fire in the camp tent in the forward position began to spread, they set up Amin who was still asleep and rushed to the safety of the rear of the camp. Although they didn't know exactly how many soldiers there were in Duoyan City, they thought that the army of more than 50,000 people would be able to resist the attack of the Ming army in Duoyan City even if they threw out those wounded, sick and disabled soldiers.
Looking at the blazing camp tent that had burned long ago after Erlidi, the disheveled Amin looked confused, he refused to accept the reality of burning the company camp, "This...... This...... Didn't you say that there were only more than 10,000 Ming troops in Duoyan City? Even if the Ming army in Duoyan City poured out, and more than 10,000 Ming troops dared to rob the battalion of our Houjin 50,000 army, this ...... That's, isn't it? ”
Amin's own soldiers were also full of expression, shaking their heads and not giving the answer he wanted.
Most of these Houjin soldiers were battle-hardened soldiers who had been withdrawn from the Liaodong front for a long time, and their reaction speed was still quite fast, and after a period of panic, they had begun to save themselves and organize a counterattack.
The cotton armor on the guards of Duoyan City, who came to rob the camp with white cloth wrapped in their arms, had long been wet with water, two sword and shield hands, two spearmen, and one crossbowman, in groups of five. They fought like a pack of deadly beasts, with the sword and shield men in front, the pikemen in front of them, the pikemen in the front and the crossbowmen in the reaper's net. This five-person team is simply an efficient killing machine, and these small killing machines form a large meat grinder, frantically harvesting the lives of Houjin's soldiers.
"Wang Er, how many heads have you chopped off? Don't cut off your head, the Jin soldiers have begun to counterattack, cut off their ears, and the brothers will kill a few more for the sake of our glory and wealth. ”
"Six, that Tulu, all of them commanded the envoy yesterday to cut off the head?"
"******, I saw that Wu Laosan's bags were full, there were seven or eight of them, we had to work harder. Wang Lao Er don't ink blots, and they all command so that the adults can still regret it, listen to Natulu's cut ears, both of them are cut. Hurry up, or we'll have to withdraw as soon as the horn blows in the city. ”
…………
…………
Thousands of burning tents illuminated the front of Duoyan City as bright as day, Guan Shanyue wore a suit of chain mail and frowned to observe the situation on the battlefield, this horn was blown early and could not achieve the expected results, and after blowing, he was afraid that he would bury the lives of the soldiers in vain, and he couldn't help but sweat for the brothers on the front line.
Guan Shanyue sighed when she heard the screams of killing under the city, and just wanted to persuade her again, the two trembling strands had long been unable to support Wei Zhongxian not to hold on here, but when she glanced back, she found a petite familiar figure hiding at the back of her own soldiers.
That figure Guan Shanyue was very familiar, and he didn't need to use fire to know who it was, he coughed loudly, strode to the front of the figure, and whispered in a hoarse voice mixed with a hint of anger: "You little Nizite is bold, don't think that I can't recognize you if I disguise myself as a man, didn't I let you stay at home?" It's chaotic here, you give me a quick home. ”
Usually, Guan Shanyue was afraid of holding Xiao Nizi in the palm of his hand, this was the first time he spoke to Zhao Ruixue in such a stern voice.
Xiao Nizi knew that the taboo female dependents among the soldiers were mixed, and when she saw that the disguise was seen through by Guan Shanyue, she said with a dodgy look: "Xue'er didn't mean to embarrass Xianggong, it's just that Xue'er hasn't seen Xianggong for a day, and she really can't let go of Xianggong's safety in her heart to make this decision." Xianggong, you must be hungry, Xue'er brought eggs to Xianggong when she came out, Xianggong should eat a few! ”
After Xiao Nizi finished speaking, she took out three boiled red-skinned eggs from her arms and held them in the palm of her hand, staring at Guan Shanyue innocently with her big watery eyes.
Guan Shanyue was angry and moved in her heart, and took the three eggs from Xiao Nizi's hand, seeing that the eggs had already been cold, it was estimated that Xiao Nizi had been here for a long time, and her tone suddenly softened, "Go back quickly, there are so many brothers around to protect me, I will be fine, I will eat the eggs in a while." ”
Xiao Nizi took a few steps back, lowered her little head and looked aggrieved, but she didn't mean to leave at all, and argued in a low voice: "Xue'er is not a burden, and she won't drag her husband back." Xue'er's kung fu is no worse than this group of brothers, and she will protect her husband for a while! ”
Guan Shanyue couldn't see Xiao Nizi's appearance the most, although her face was still cold, her heart seemed to have melted, she shook her head helplessly, and compromised: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, you just stand behind me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
Xiao Nizi raised her head and smiled like a flower, and when she saw that her goal was achieved, she stood behind Guan Shanyue obediently.
The surrounding soldiers saw that Master Guan was defeated in a few words, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their chests suddenly rose and fell violently, and they could see that they were holding back very hard.
Guan Shanyue shifted her gaze back to the battlefield and judged the best time to blow the horn. After waiting for a while, seeing that the soldiers who had sent out the robbery camp were about to fight with the Jin soldiers who had formed a formation behind him, he waved his hand and shouted: "Blow the horn and open the city gates!" ”
Whining...... Whining...... Whining......
The sound of whimpering horns suddenly overshadowed the shouting and killing on the battlefield, and the soldiers of Duoyan City who went to rob the camp had already been red-eyed, and after getting the order to retreat, they fought with the Houjin soldiers for a while, and then they reluctantly retreated back to Duoyan City under the cover of alternate cover.
After all the soldiers had safely withdrawn to Duoyan City, in order to prevent the pursuing Houjin soldiers from rushing into the city in chaos, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate hurriedly closed the city gate.
When the city gate was closed, Guan Shanyue's hanging heart was put back in his stomach, and he roared at the soldiers who were paralyzed on the ground under the city, and who had already killed blood: "You fucking ears are stuffed with donkey hair, don't die, you have blown two short and one long retreat trumpets and still don't retreat?" The fucking one of you has three long and two short, isn't Lao Tzu sad? ”
Guan Shanyue's words were sincere, and the soldiers below laughed when they heard the words, and raised the hunt in their hands, but their hearts were as warm as holding a stove on a cold day.
Guan Shanyue widened her eyes and smashed the egg in her hand at them, gritting her teeth and scolding: "Mom, I mean let you earn military merits, that's on the premise of saving your life." You're fucking like a wolf seeing a sheep, cutting off your head with your life. Do you know that even a hundred heads can't get your life back? A group of two-poles, a group of two-poles who don't know what to do! ”
The soldiers below grinned as if they hadn't heard it, taking Guan Shanyue's scolding as if they hadn't heard it, and passing the eggs that Guan Shanyue threw from the city in their hands.
Guan Shanyue looked at the group of madmen in the city, one with two big heads, and he was so angry that he was like thunder.
On the contrary, Wei Zhongxian's face was happy, because he had never seen such an army that was eager to fight and did not want to die when he started a war in the Ming Dynasty, "Lord Guan, the soldiers are also sincere, and the miscellaneous family thinks that they are brave and martial, and they have merit in killing the enemy, and they have been rewarded heavily." But now is not the time to hold a celebration meeting, now the Houjin group of wild boar skins are pressed up without knowing whether they are alive or dead, they are really bold enough to attack the city at night, you look at our next step? ”
Guan Shanyue had already held back the evil fire in her heart, and looked at the Houjin soldiers with torches under the city, and shouted angrily: "Roll the stone and wood ready, start boiling oil, all the crossbowmen and bed crossbows cover and shoot, remove the cannon clothing, and bombard them fiercely for me!" ”
Arrows rained down on the enemy's chest, and the life of the reaper, Houjin soldiers, reminded the battlefield of a terrible howl. These soldiers wanted to retreat but fight for a chance of survival, but the soldiers behind wanted them to be cannon fodder, pushing the soldiers in front of them desperately.
This time, Amin actually pressed all the troops up, and it seems that he is determined to take advantage of the numerical advantage to take Duoyan City and avenge the burning of the company camp just now.
At this time, the crowded Houjin soldiers had long since lost their formation, and the crowded crowd happened to provide a perfect target for the Hongyi cannon.
"Boom...... Thundered...... Rumble ......"
If the bow and arrow are the scythes wielded by the old farmer during the wheat harvest, the shells spit out by the Hongyi cannon are like the golden ears of wheat in the rice fields of the harvesters with the same efficiency as the combine harvester.
Amin was distraught when he heard the sound of the cannons, and he immediately remembered Nurhachi, who was killed by the shelling, "This ...... This...... Is this a matter of Doyan City? Hell, how did they conjure up so many guns overnight? Listening to the sound of artillery one after another, there are more than Shanhaiguan, doesn't it make sense? Didn't you group of **** strategists say that you can be caught? ”
The strategist beside Amin also panicked, for fear that Amin would be angry with him, so he counted the flickering tongue of fire a few times, and said tremblingly: "Lord Belle, this group of Ming troops actually has more than ten cannons, how can we be good?" ”
