Chapter 129: Yanguli's Temptation

Li Zhi told the soldiers to sleep early at night, ready to meet the enemy the next day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, the horns of the Qing army sounded in unison, and more than 10,000 Qing troops ran out of the camp one by one, and lined up in front. One by one, the Tartar warriors in yellow armor uniforms lined up in a phalanx, each Niu Lu was a small array, and each armor was a large array, and the military appearance was neat, and it looked very spectacular.

After the soldiers stood in formation, the Weaving Golden Dragon Silk slowly moved from the Chinese army to the middle of the array. Li Zhi raised the binoculars to observe, and saw Yanguli riding on the horse silently, and the Tartar generals on the left and right were also silent one by one, obviously the cannons in Fanjiazhuang yesterday made them very depressed.

This time, the Qing army broke through the pass, won consecutive battles, and did not taste the taste of defeat, Fanjiazhuang was the first city to let the Tartars suffer great losses.

Behind the array, more than a hundred ladders were carried out.

The ladders were five or six meters long and more than five meters high, not heavy, and could be carried by twenty followers and auxiliaries, so that they could walk very quickly. These ladders had been built by the Tartars yesterday, and were intended to be used after the shield carts filled in the holes outside the walls. The Tartars didn't expect that the shield cart couldn't stop the artillery on the city wall at all, so they simply pushed the ladder directly to attack the city.

If the ladder is erected on the wall of Fanjiazhuang, the Tartars can jump directly from the ladder to the city wall.

Yesterday Yanguli had seen the power of the artillery on the city walls, and knew that the shield cart stationary in front of the pit was a living target. But he thought that the fast-moving ladder would not be hit by artillery, and as long as the warriors of the Qing army climbed the city wall, the city would also fall with a drum!

Carrying the ladder, the array of the Qing army pressed to four miles north of the northern city wall and stopped.

For the sake of prudence, Yanguli did not let the army attack immediately, but let the three hundred infantry armor cover the two hundred accompanying auxiliaries, carrying ten ladders to test the siege. Although Yanguli was known for his bravery, he also knew that he could not be reckless in battle. There are so many cannons in this Fanjiazhuang, who knows if there are other means, it is better to test it.

Seeing that the Tartars sent light soldiers out to test it, Li Zhi smiled.

It seems that yesterday's artillery frightened the Tartars, and they did not dare to rush up to attack the city directly, but sent light soldiers out to test the details of Fanjiazhuang. If Li Zhi had asked the musketeers to shoot with all their might at two hundred meters and easily repel the five hundred Tartars, Yanguli would have turned around and fled, never to attack Fanjiazhuang again.

Li Zhi was not ready to let go of Yanguli so easily, he wanted to earn a fortune on this 10,000 Tartars. He's going to trick Yanguli into putting all his chips up and then eating a big one.

Five hundred tentative Tartars carried ten ladders and walked quickly to the north wall of Fanjiazhuang. One hundred and fifty meters into the city wall, they encountered large and small potholes, which they could only walk around. Between the potholes and the potholes were large and small horses and antlers, and the Tartars struggled to remove these obstacles before they slowly approached seventy-five meters below the city wall.

Seventy-five meters in a straight line, they had to go around at least one hundred and fifty meters before they approached the city wall.

The artillery in the city did not fire.

The Tartars detoured between the traps and the pits, and were stretched into a long snake formation, with the vests in front and the ladders behind. After the first thirty people in the long snake formation attacked within fifty steps of the city wall, they immediately set up their longbows and began to shoot arrows at the city wall. Tartar arrows are known for their heaviness, soaked in human and animal feces, so they are poisonous, and they are basically ineffective when they are shot.

However, fifty paces was still a little far, and more than thirty Tartar forwards shot a round, only hitting four Tiger Division soldiers behind the city walls.

Seeing the four soldiers being shot and wounded, Li Zhi felt very painful. These are all soldiers trained by themselves, and even if one is shot, Li Zhi will also feel uncomfortable.

"Hang the hanger!"

Hanging is a device for ancient city defense to defend against bows and arrows. Make a wooden frame on each battlement, with two feet inside the city, and the rack hangs outside the city close to the edge of the battlement, and covers it with a cup blanket, which is wet with water. Such a device is blocked from the battlement, and the bow and arrow cannot be shot.

Five hundred hung up, and the arrows of the Tartars could not get in.

Tartar saw that there was a hanging house on the city of Fanjiazhuang, and no longer shot arrows.

Five hundred Tartars walked slowly with ten ladders, and after a long detour, they finally reached the foot of the city wall. Ten ladders were erected, and over the moat, the ladders were erected directly to the city walls. As long as the Tartar horse armor climbs up the ladder, it can rush to the head of Fanjiazhuang.

Fifty vests took the lead and climbed up to the city.

"Throw the rolling stones!"

"Pour the gold juice!"

The fighting ability of the Tiger Benshi is far inferior to that of the Tartars, and the arrival of the Tartars in the city will cause chaos, so of course Li Zhi can't let these Tartars climb to the top of the city, and immediately let the troops serve the five hundred Tartars with city defense equipment.

A large number of rolling stone sassholes were smashed from the city, and more than twenty Tartars who tried to ascend the city were smashed to death under the city walls.

The golden juice was boiling dung that was poured on the body of the Tartars of Dengxian and burned them until their skin was opened. These feces are poisonous, and even more toxic when heated, and the burned wounds will rot because of the toxins in the feces, and they will not heal at all, so they can only be amputated or even waiting for death.

Before the fifty vests of the ascendant touched the city, more than 20 were killed and burned by the city wall by the city defense equipment.

The remaining 400 or so Tartars did not have the determination to die under the walls, and they all knew that Yanguli was using them to test the enemy's situation, and they were not willing to rush with their lives. They looked at the 4,000 Ming soldiers standing on the city wall, and did not dare to rush again.

More than 20 vests that were still alive on the ladder jumped off the ladder and fled back and forth. When the other Qing soldiers saw that the vests had fled, they also scattered in a hurry and fled en masse.

Li Zhi looked at the fleeing Tartar and smiled, secretly saying that he had deceived the Tartar this time.

Sure enough, Yanguli observed from a distance and felt that Fanjiazhuang's city defense measures were ordinary, but they were relatively well prepared. Apart from the cannons, there are no other powerful means in the city, nothing more than rolling stones and sasswoods. Although there are many traps outside the city, it is enough to bypass them, and not many people will die after being bombarded by artillery on the way around. The Rolling Stone Tree is limited, and it is still possible to attack such a city with 12,000 troops.

The Qing army fought all the year round, and the soldiers were all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and their combat effectiveness was far from being matched by the soldiers of the Ming army who could not eat enough. As soon as the warriors climbed the wall to open the gap, the Ming army would be scattered.

Yesterday, more than 400 warriors were left under this city, and if they don't take this city, I'm sorry for the heroic spirits of those warriors. If this city is abandoned, the prestige of the Qing army's invincible attack on this pass will be damaged.

Yanguli was a brave and brave general, and since the Nurhachi uprising, he must be the first to attack in battle, so he has obtained the most glorious title of super duke of this foreign courtier. On weekdays, Huang Taiji attaches more importance to him than to the average Baylor. He didn't believe that such an ordinary small county town in front of him could stop him.

Yanguli and a few of the Alazhangjing looked at each other. Although several Jia Lazhangjing had serious expressions, they still had the confidence to take this city, and their eyes were very optimistic. Yanguli no longer hesitated, and shouted:

"Attack with all your troops!"

The trumpets sounded, the drums thundered, and the 12,000 Tartars shouted loudly, carrying the ladder and running forward, rushing towards the north wall of Fanjiazhuang.

Looking from the city wall of Fanjiazhuang, I saw smoke and dust billowing out, and the Qing army was rushing towards this side like a yellow ocean.
