Chapter 545: Fierce Battle

The establishment of the Five Loyal Army, each battalion is basically according to the original Shenji Battalion, except for the lack of horses, each battalion is full of 5,000 people.

Li Dingguo was included in the Loyal and Righteous Army, and now serves as the commander of the Zhenwu Battalion, and Zhang Xianzhen is appointed as the Tongzhi, commanding 5,000 men and horses to attack the mountain.

Originally, he commanded the Western Army to attack the mountain, which was a cannon fodder test, but this time it was completely different, it was the Ming army that carried out a trench digging operation for half a month, and carried out a fully prepared one-hit kill.

At this time, the Ming army entered the deep trench and marched in a circle, the trench was paved with wooden planks, and the Qing army's mountain stones were smashed down, and most of them crossed over the trenches, even if they happened to be smashed on the trenches and the planks were broken, the stones did not fall.

The Qing army lost a few pieces, and he felt bored, so he stopped.

On the city, Wu Sangui looked at it, and estimated that Li Guoying was more than lucky, although he had expected it a long time ago, and Li Guoying was not his person, but he felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

After all, as soon as the cottage is lost, the Ming army can concentrate on attacking the city, but the terrible thing is that the Ming army is digging the city, but it has already collapsed a piece of the south of the city.

At this time, the Ming army circled up the hill and finally reached the exit, and the Qing army was obviously prepared.

The war drums under the mountain kept beating, Wang Yan took the clairvoyant mirror to the top of the mountain to watch, a hundred Ming soldiers with shields, came out of the exit, and carried out a trial, and immediately suffered the bombardment of nearly ten artillery, obviously the Qing soldiers dropped the cannons here.

When the Baiming army was shelled, the Qing army also immediately shot a wave of arrows, and the Ming army wounded twenty or thirty people, and immediately retreated to the deep trench.

In order to reduce the damage of the thunder stone rolling wood at the bottom, the Ming army braved the rain of arrows to push the deep trench to the foot of the cottage a hundred steps away, and in order to facilitate the deployment of people and horses, dug another circle around the cottage.

At this time, at the exit of the deep trench, Zhang Xianzhen saw that as soon as the Ming army attacked, he suffered a fierce blow from the Qing soldiers, and hurriedly said: "The Qing army has long been prepared and has arranged heavy troops at the exit. ”

Seeing this, Li Dingguo frowned, "Since the key attack is not good, let the soldiers lift the plank, climb out of the deep trench, and climb from all sides. ”

"Then the general leads the first wave, and the commander commands the rear formation." Zhang Xianzhen immediately hugged his fists and asked for his life, he was now included in the Five Loyal Army, which was equivalent to getting on the big ship, and he no longer had to worry about Zhang Xianbi's affairs implicating him, so he was full of enthusiasm and eager to make meritorious contributions.

Li Dingguo nodded, the commander of the first battalion did not have a reason to take the lead, Zhang Xianzhen went first, which was reasonable.

At this time, on the deep trench, a wooden plank was pushed away, and a flag stretched out, waving again and again.

The deep trench is narrow and can not accommodate many people, the Hujie battalion has 5,000 people, more than 1,000 to the tunnel close to the Qingzhai, and most of the rest are coiled on the mountainside, and the soldiers are in the deep trench, and the general's orders cannot be conveyed, so they can only give flags to the mountain first, and then use the war drums under the mountain to convey the order.

At this time, with the waving of the flag, Yamashita quickly responded, and the rhythm of the war drums changed instantly, heavy and light beating, and the length of the interval could represent different commands.

With this change, the planks on the circle of trenches close to the cottage were suddenly lifted, and the first wave of more than 1,000 soldiers, as if drilled out of the ground, jumped up from the trenches, and the killing sound shook the sky like a tide, carrying bamboo ladders, climbing up, and rushing through the deadly distance of 100 steps.

The Qing army originally focused on defending the exit, but soon reacted, the rolling stones and arrows on the mountain suddenly fell like raindrops, overwhelmingly shooting, the arrows jingled on the shield, and did not play a role, but the boulders, rolling logs and clay pots filled with quicklime smashed like hail, but many Ming troops who could not dodge were smashed by the wood and stones, and they all rolled down the hill with screams.

Looking at the car, Yuan Zongdi saw this pain in his flesh, this was not cannon fodder, but his brothers, "This cottage is really hard to fight, the trench is almost dug to the feet, and it can't rush up." ”

"There should be no problem this time, climbing on all sides, the Qing army can't focus on defense, the guards on each side will be weaker, and as long as you climb a hundred steps, it's not difficult to attack." Wang Yan analyzed it and gave an order: "Give me the drum to urge the war, whoever dares to retreat will be killed!" ”

In order to dig trenches, the Ming army died at least more than a thousand people, and it is impossible to have no effect.

Sure enough, with the rumbling war drums and the shocking shouts of the friendly troops under the mountain, Zhang Xianzhen held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and personally charged forward, shouting: "Rush up and kill all the dogs!" He jumped into the low wall first, and with a single sword, he slashed a Qing soldier who was holding a rock and smashing it to the ground.

Zhang Xianzhen slashed and slashed, the Qing soldiers behind the low wall, a moment of chaos, and they were in a mess, no one threw rolling stones and wood, the Ming army suddenly felt a light pressure, and took this as a breakthrough, and instantly climbed up more than a dozen Ming troops.

At this time, with the attack of the first wave of Ming troops, the tunnel full of people was immediately empty, but he was not empty for long, and was immediately filled by the people behind.

The first wave of 1,000 people attacked, climbing from all sides, most of them did not succeed in breaking through the Qingzhai, but there were also a few places that entered the low wall, this was the opportunity of the Ming army, Li Dingguo immediately let the second wave start climbing.

On the wall of the Qing army's wall, Li Guoying saw that the low wall was killed by the Ming army, and the Qing soldiers could not use rolling stones to beat the wood and attack the Ming army that continued to climb, and he was in a hurry.

At this time, he saw that a Ming general was very brave, killing many people in a row, he snatched the bow and arrow in the hands of the Qing soldiers around him, opened the bow and arrows, opened the bow and arrows, and actually shot two arrows in a row.

Zhang Xianzhen was fighting with people, and suddenly dared a gust of wind to strike, and turned around with a knife, blocking an arrow, but the next moment, his whole body suddenly fell back, and an arrow hit his left shoulder.

Seeing this, several Ming soldiers immediately stepped forward and protected him with shields.

The weather is too hot, and it is climbing the mountain, so most of the soldiers and generals are lightly armoured, and the defense is relatively poor.

At this time, with Hu Xianzhen injured, the Ming army in the low wall had to fight with the Qing army's infantry army, and was also killed by the Qing army's archers on the wall, which seemed to have the meaning of being driven down the mountain.

Fortunately, the civil war on the low wall was a mess, and there were no rolling stones and trees, and the second wave of Ming troops quickly climbed up and stabilized the formation.

The first two waves of the Ming army were sword and shield, they stabilized their position, and there was nothing to command in the back, Li Dingguo immediately rushed up the mountain with the third wave of archers.

Under his leadership, the archers of the Ming army began to shoot arrows at the wall, and the dense arrows shot at the cottage, and the Qing soldiers suddenly fell in large pieces.

The weather is hot, many northern soldiers took off their cotton armor, went into battle shirtless, and some only wore a cloth coat, basically had no defense, the arrow would be injured, the Qing army archers were suddenly suppressed, so that the Ming army that was shot by cold arrows from time to time in the low wall immediately relaxed, the Qing soldiers were slashed and killed in a large area, the sword and shield cleared out a large area, the bamboo ladder also began to be erected, and the Ming army began to climb on the stockade.

Li Dingguo thrust the spear into the ground, took a hard bow, and aimed it at the wall. A member of Baihu who climbed on the ladder was resisting the spears stabbed by the wall with a shield, but suddenly felt a light pressure, and when he looked up, he saw that the two Qing spearmen were killed by bows and arrows, and they were both arrows through the throat.

Seeing this hundred households were overjoyed, their feet were like flying, and they were about to climb up five or six steps, and they were about to climb up, and the eyes of a thousand Qing army generals suddenly stopped on the unguarded bamboo ladder, and immediately rushed up, raised the knife and slashed at the hundred households who had just leaked their heads, but before his knife arrived, he covered his throat and fell down.
