Chapter 62: Recovering the Lost Ground
Dolgon's good mood really didn't last long, and after he sent his men to report the victory, he originally planned to take some risks and enter Ciro City with Duoduo, and also announce their occupation of Ciro City, show off their martial arts, and at the same time boost the morale of their Qing soldiers, but this idea has not yet been realized, and he suddenly saw several of his Baya soldiers with frightened expressions and wide eyes.
Before he could turn his head, he heard a thunderous roar coming from Cilo City, which made him immediately turn his head to look at Cilo City, only to see the black smoke rising from the sky and the constantly rising earth and rocks in Cilo City.
"What's going on there?" This was the first thought that crossed Dorgon's mind, but behind this thought was a very ominous premonition.
This explosion continued for a while, Dolgon's face began to turn pale, not to mention that he was a smart person, even if he was just a mediocre or even stupid guy, he could also see that the explosion in Xiluo City was enough to kill the vast majority of people in the city, and at this time, all the soldiers in Xiluo City should be his side of the Jiannu army, so what happened, he could imagine.
Dolgon's hand clenched the hilt of the knife at his waist with such force that the joints on his hands turned white, and even his body trembled slightly with anger.
At the same time, Dolgon's various Azigs and Dolgon were standing together, with a triumphant look on their faces, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Since they started the army, they have not fought less vicious battles, but think about this period of time such a vicious battle, they really did not fight much, whether it was when they used to deal with the Mongols, or when they dealt with the Ming army, or even when they dealt with the Koreans, they had never encountered such a strong opponent, the other party not only had high morale, with the courage to be similar to their Jiannu army, and the equipment was also very sophisticated, the opponent was extremely good at using firearms, originally in their eyes, the use of firearms was the patent of the Ming army, But in the face of the many firearms of the Ming army, they, the Jiannu warriors, have never been afraid, and they can rely on their cavalry to defeat the enemy, and the Ming army has been defeated and retreated.
But this time he was in Shanhaiguan, but he saw the power of the Xingtian thieves, the Xingtian thieves were better at using firearms than the Ming army, and their firearms were more sharp and abnormal, almost completely suppressing the firearms of their Jiannu army and the strong bows and crossbows that they were proud of, and exerted their ability to no longer despise them, making them begin to realize that their strong bows were no longer enough to suppress them and defeat them in the face of the enemy's firearms.
Now they finally used their lives to pile up Xiluo City, but they didn't think about it, they were happy for less than half an hour, and they found that their happiness just now was just a dog biting urine bubble blind like, and the thieves were actually not defeated by them before retreating, but after they dug a deep pit, they took the initiative to retreat, just waiting for them to jump into it stupidly, and they were really stupid to run and jump into the pit dug by others. It's really sold and counting money for others, and I'm still stealing fun.
Looking at the continuous explosions in Xiluo City, Azig found that the army of tortured thieves they faced was not only courageous and terrifying combat effectiveness, but also a very cunning enemy, compared to them The Qing people, if they were Jiannu and a group of wolves, then these tortured thieves were a group of fierce tigers.
That's at least a few thousand! The Eight Banners of the Han Army, which they had been armed with great difficulty in the past two years, thought that the firearms they brought from the Ming Army would be enough to restrain these torturers, but they didn't want to compete with others, their Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion was just a dish, playing with cannons, although they had a lot of cannons, they had never been able to suppress each other, playing with firearms, their firearms were also a lot, but after punishing the thieves of the Venerable Family, they were also beaten and couldn't raise their heads, if it weren't for their Jurchen warriors supervising the battle behind, The Wuzhen Chaoha battalion of the three banners of the Han army banner has long been defeated by others, and now it is good, they have dug a pit for them again, which is equivalent to killing their Han army in this Xiluo City.
"It's over! ......" Azig opened his mouth for a long time before closing it, but then spat out two words.
Azig summed it up very succinctly, and it was very in place, and the result of the battle was expressed in two words, but their soldiers and horses in Ciro City were finished, and the thousands of men and horses who entered the city were like a flood at this time, pouring out from several gaps in the collapsed walls of Cilo City, and it can be said that those who lost their armor and escaped with their armor, but the number of people and horses who came out was much less, and all of them had extreme fear on their faces, and some of them lost their weapons, Some people even stripped off their armor and threw it away in order to run faster, and fled back almost bare-chested.
On the tower of the city, the banner of the Jiannu army was finally planted at the head of the city, and began to be pulled out one after another, and after a while, the military flag of the large Chinese army on the opposite side was inserted, and a large Chinese army's soldiers and horses, the tail chased out from the gap in Xiluo City, and the soldiers of the large Chinese army were like rainbows, spreading their legs and shouting to kill slaves, and the mountains and tsunamis poured out of Xiluo City, catching up with the Jiannu soldiers who escaped from Xiluo City, and then began to slaughter those Jiannu soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. Straight to kill those Jiannu rout soldiers are crying dad and mother, and some even knelt down to surrender and beg the generals who chased and killed them to let them live, but these red-eyed soldiers and generals were unmoved, galloped past them, and with a flash of sword, they wiped the necks of these soldiers, so that these soldiers covered their necks in fear, and slowly fell to the ground, and there were many firecrackers of the large Chinese army, and they also held a short-bladed "bird gun" hanging at the front end of a pole, and used their "bird guns" mercilessly The three-edged bayonet in front of it stabbed into the body of the Jiannu soldiers, and when they were pulled out again, the wounds of the Jiannu soldiers sprayed blood mist, and they soon died tragically on the battlefield.
Three-edged bayonets have been called the knife of killing prisoners in history, at this time it shows their significance, when Luo Li led his troops back to Xiluo City again, the city has become a hellish scene, the city is covered with the corpses of Jiannu, the ruins and broken walls are hung everywhere Jiannu's stumps, broken arms and even various internal organs, and many people's intestines are hanging on the branches that do not even have a leaf and shaking slightly, this is almost no longer a place for people to stay, the whole is like becoming a miserable situation like Shura Hell, Even some veterans who are accustomed to seeing dead people, seeing such a scene, can't help but feel sick to their stomachs, not to mention some recruits who have not been in the army for a long time and have not seen too tragic scenes, many of the big and medium soldiers who rushed into the city, after entering the city, they were immediately smoked by the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and the mixed smell of blood in the city, almost all of them did not look good, and some people simply lowered their heads and began to retch loudly, vomiting almost bile.
Many Jiannu were killed on the spot when they exploded, but more were stunned or injured, and there were still a large number of Jiannu in the city who did not die, lying on the ground struggling, screaming, crying, and begging, like groups of maggots, wriggling on the ground.
Some of the soldiers really couldn't see the miserable condition of these injured Jiannu, so they began to help them with knives and guns in their hands to end their suffering.
But Luo Li was very dissatisfied with this, and when he saw that his soldiers would help these Jiannu wounded end their suffering, he was very dissatisfied, and scolded: "Are you fucking full?" Got time for this? Let's talk about the fucking slave soldiers first, and let the brothers in the back clean up these bastards! Pass my order, the lightly wounded stay for the time being, and the seriously injured can send them back to the west! It's still useful to keep it alive! Less damn kindness here, they don't deserve your sympathy! Kill slaves with Lao Tzu! ”
So these soldiers and generals who came back to their senses immediately gave up continuing to help these Jiannu wounded, cheered up one by one, and followed Luo Li towards the north of the city, flooding over the corpses of Xiluo City like a tide, and chased and killed them from the gap in the north of the city.
The soldiers and generals who entered Xiluo City later began to sort up in the pile of corpses according to Luo Li's instructions, the lightly injured were tied up and dragged aside like a dead dog, and the seriously injured and the dead were directly chopped off their heads, and the headless corpses were ordered to help the soldiers to carry out of Xiluo City, find a place to bury them, and their corpses in the province decomposed and caused a plague, and now it is May, even the temperature in the Shanhaiguan area has begun to rise, and the dead bodies must be buried and disposed of as soon as possible in accordance with the regulations of the Dazhong Army. In case of a large-scale plague.
The Jiannu side can be said to be defeated like a mountain, they are already the end of the crossbow, those Jiannu soldiers outside the gate who have not yet entered Xiluo City, when they see the tragedy of Xiluo City, their morale can be said to have plummeted, and then they saw those colleagues who entered the city escaped from Xiluo City like lost dogs, and the thieves behind them shouted to kill Zhentian and chased them out, where is there still a heart war! So the Jiannu troops outside the pass all turned around and left, and fled towards the distance outside the pass like a broken embankment.
Even Dolgon couldn't afford to continue supervising the battle at this time, forcing these defeated soldiers to turn around and die, so he reluctantly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and sent Azig and Duoduo to lead a battalion of Aliha Chaoha, that is, the cavalry battalion (composed of horse armor soldiers among the armored soldiers) among the slave army.
(It's so ruthless to build a slave, it's enjoyable!) Tip, tip! Hehe! )
