Section 592 Before the general attack
The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves
Turai and the warriors who survived the fire blocked by their comrades in the middle shouted and stepped forward desperately, and dozens of three-eyed firearms of the Ming army in front of them were fired in batches.
Beat Tulai and others into a bloody mist and lost the ability to fight again. As soon as the Ming army swarmed up, they raised their knives and chopped them, killing the surviving wailing Jiannu.
But before they could celebrate, a falling rock flew down, smashing the dead bodies of the Ming army and Jiannu into a pulp, mixed together, and staining the east gate with blood.
The surviving Dingnan army took refuge, but saw more Jiannu attacking the city again and killing them.
The defenders of the east gate were divided into two sections and retreated one after another, and after the Dingnan army in the middle threw away all the grenades, they fought with Jiannu for their lives, and they were killed and wounded in a short time.
Zhang Yun was furious, and Dongcheng asked for a long time, but it was only a little more than an hour at this time, and he saw that the east gate was about to fall.
In a hurry, Xiao Fei guided the Ming army under the city, and fired several rounds of rocket salvos at Jiannu on the city wall of the east gate, killing Jiannu one after another, and the enemy troops on the city wall were empty.
Zhang Yun took the opportunity to command his subordinates, attacked on both sides, and under the blow of grenades and firearms, he finally pressed Jiannu down the city again, and the east wall was stabilized again.
Huang Taiji watched the battle from afar, only to see his hundred warriors, dead and wounded, corpses raining down, several times about to occupy the city wall, but was suppressed by the Dingnan army again and again.
Seeing that the other party also suffered heavy casualties, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth, ordered the horn to be blown out, and issued an order for the whole army to attack.
In an instant, the Manchu army, which heard the Great Khan's urging horn, swarmed up under the command of Zhang Jing at all levels and attacked the city with death.
At the lookout post, Qin Haoming, Yan Yingyuan and several other generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time when they saw Huang Taiji launch a general attack.
To tell the truth, the strength of the Jiannu in front of him is completely different from that of the Mongolian Tartars and the Ming Dynasty.
The Dingnan army guarded the city with a mixture of soldiers and soldiers, if it were not for the advantages of city defense and firearms, it was really not an opponent of Jiannu by fighting on the battlefield alone.
Especially when the flintlock pistol, which was named Huaxia, was not put into the battlefield, it was really difficult to fight with the Jiannu with various firearms rebuilt by the Governor's Palace.
"Governor Qin, the last general will go down to prepare, you come to command, you must point where to fight."
Yan Yingyuan's face was happy, he bowed excitedly, turned around and left down the stairs.
"Governor Qin, let the last general also command a team of men!"
The soldiers below are iron horses, so that the guard chief Haozi who protects him also asks for battle with a longing face.
Qin Haoming shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and waved his hand in agreement.
Desperately fighting for huge casualties and Jiannu working hard and brutally, waiting for this moment, the purpose is to make the enemy relax, and then surprise him to attack him unprepared, and defeat the enemy with one move.
"Haozi, let Wang Maotian transfer one hundred and thirteenth-order soldiers over!"
Looking at Haozi, who couldn't wait to leave, Qin Haoming shouted loudly.
Damn, he abandoned the leader for the sake of military merit, and he was not a qualified captain of the guard.
However, the tense fierce battle on the battlefield made Qin Haoming have no time to be distracted, and the distance of the monocular in his eyes was limited, so he could only lock on to a few special targets.
At this time, when Jiannu heard the order of the general attack, he rushed forward one by one without fear of death, which was similar to the pig rush tactics of the devils during World War II.
Qin Haoming admired the courage and tenacity of the Jiannu dead soldiers, and issued an order to abandon the east gate half an hour in advance.
Xiao Fei's 1,000 soldiers faced the Jiannu at the east gate with several rounds of rockets, shooting Jiannu with many casualties.
Covering Zhang Yun's subordinates, he stood and retreated along the east gate tower, and gradually retreated down the city wall and entered the fortifications in the city.
At the same time, the north tower connected to the fort of the east city, and Liu Xinyu's three hundred soldiers held fire guns and crossbow arrows one after another, blocking the passage of the city wall.
As for the fort in the middle of Dongcheng, the rest of Zhang Yun's troops all retreated and waited for the battle.
The orders received in these two places were to fight to the death, not to retreat, to ensure that the city walls were not lost, and to provide fire support for the decisive battle in the city.
Jiannu, who captured the east gate, cheered loudly and used his life up and down.
Under the blow of Liu Xinyu's rockets and artillery fire, the city gate was slowly opened, and the Jiannu outside the city rushed in, and without stopping, they went to the inner city of Wafangdian.
The firepower of Liu Xinyu's department shot out flat, and the firepower of the north wall poured down, beating the crowd of Jiannu to the point that people were overturned, with many casualties, and retreated in defeat.
Zhang Yun took the opportunity to gather his troops and all his heavy weapons, and withdrew to the first fortification of Beicheng, where 5,000 defenders were in strict formation, and Xiao Fei's less than 1,000 men retreated to the second line of defense for repair.
Jialazhang Jinglierha received the Manchurian soldiers on the city wall, divided into two, and attacked the forts of the northern and eastern cities.
First of all, he was beaten back again and again by the constant fire of the defenders, and then he was smashed into ashes and annihilated by the stones of the counterweight stone throwers in the inner city, and countless casualties were killed.
Zhuketu under the city reorganized the army and commanded the shield carts outside the east gate to enter one after another, and the army entered the attack position in a fan shape, and sent troops to the city to aid Rilha.
When Du Du finally entered Wafangdian with the army, Zhuketu in the city was commanding the army, with the shield cart in front and the archers behind, and the dead soldiers braved the continuous fire of the Dingnan army to open the way.
The follow-up warriors swooped down and began their first assault on the city.
Outside the city, Huang Taiji let out a long breath, let go of his anxious mood, and ordered someone to order Dolgon, who had suffered heavy casualties and could not even reach the city walls, to suspend the attack.
Cooperate with Duoduo's feints to reduce casualties among soldiers. And his own Chinese army began to move forward, heading towards Wafangdian.
The blood flowed too much, and the Dingnan army, which lost the east gate in less than two hours, killed how many Qing warriors did it kill, and it should also withstand the wrath of the Qing Dynasty and pay the price, right?
Hearing Huang Taiji's military order, Dolgon waved his hand and stopped the offensive, without joy or sorrow.
The Nancheng Plain was wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and the closer it was to the city, the more difficult it was to deploy troops, and tens of thousands of soldiers were often crowded together when they attacked near the moat with high morale.
Then he was hit by the accurate rocket and artillery fire of the Dingnan Army, and he suffered heavy casualties and could not move forward.
The southern city of Wafangdian is the elite of the Dingnan army, and there is no panic when defending the city, and the Jiannu army is not close to the moat, and it is not easy to attack if it is not crowded together.
Once huddled together in front of the moat, the defenders' firepower was precise and continuous, and the pacing was just right.
It is often under a layer of blows, the Jianzhou warriors in front have just been shot and fell, and the second wave of blows will come, and under such layers of weakening, the corpses of the warriors are piled up on the south bank of the moat.
Dolgon also tried to attack the southern city in small groups with small forces, but was still shot one by one.
The continuous iron ball simply ignored its own attack waves, and only one hundred and ten cannonballs directly covered the area of the moat one time and one time, enveloping its siege equipment and soldiers in the blows of a hundred cannonballs again and again.
This salvo is powerful in a wide range of attack modes.
Even without Huang Taiji's military order, Dolgon couldn't move and didn't want to fight, just the wreckage of his siege equipment and the corpses of countless soldiers blocked the passage of the attack like a hill.
However, looking at the invincible Dordor in front of the east gate, Dorgon's eyes were full of worry.
Suddenly, the south gate of Liaoyang was opened, and hundreds of people of the southern army rushed out, and under the cover of the long-range shot of the rocket at the head of the city, one person quickly cut off two or three heads, and then ran back.
The indignant warriors took the initiative to attack again, and were again beaten back by covered artillery fire and rockets.
Dolgon was so angry that he pointed at the city and scolded, but it attracted the laughter of the Dingnan army, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Duoduo watched Zhu Ketu's tidal attack, and without making any adjustments, he directly waved the three armies and pressed over.
He also transferred his own personal guards to the head of the city and participated in the attack on the two blocking batteries in the east and north of Lilha.
Rilha was already red-eyed, and five waves of attacks, in addition to increasing the casualties of the warriors, could not even break through to ten steps of the fort.
The most hateful thing was not the death battle of the Dingnan Army, not rockets and grenades, not crossbow arrows and firearms, but four batteries on a large turntable that were crossed and tied, and the muzzles of the tiger squat guns were evenly distributed in the front, back, left and right.
Every time the Qing warriors braved arrows and missiles to advance to twenty steps, the tiger squat cannon would sound in time, fanning out hundreds of iron pellets and sweeping away the attacking warriors.
When the follow-up troops continued to follow, the muzzle of another gun, which was fully ammunition, was turned around and erupted again.
Then the artillery turned back to the empty gun to refill the ammunition, and the muzzle of another fully equipped gun was turned again. Cycle after cycle, the bullets rained non-stop, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of countless Jianzhou warriors.
How many heroic men who are brave and invincible and praised by the people of Jianzhou have easily lost their lives in vain.
Rilha did not dare to look at the loss of the attack on the southern side of the eastern city, and lost confidence in taking all the walls.
Because even if you fight for casualties and luck, you can take this fort, but the towers of the north, east, and west cities have the same fort every fifty steps, and how much blood does the Qing warriors have to shed to capture them all.
Zhu Ketu had already gone into battle in person, wielding machetes, wearing triple armor, leading his own soldiers, agitating his soldiers, and attacking bravely.
There were rocks on his head that were constantly covered at the same time, countless arrows rained down in front of him, and the sound of firearms on both sides was heard from time to time, and his feet were full of the flesh and blood of his comrades.
Zhu Ketu felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax at all, he was afraid that he would consume so many warriors in vain, but he attacked in vain, so he kept shouting and urging the Manchu warriors to attack.
Zhang Yun looked at the Jiannu army that was closer, turned back to Liu Xinyu behind him and said:
"The first two rows of stone throwers unload three into the counterweight, the back two rows of two into the counterweight, and then the back one into the counterweight, the rearmost one does not move, load the stone bomb, and start at the same time."
Liu Xinyu turned around and shouted, conveying Zhang Yun's instructions, and completed the preparations after a while.
Zhang Yun turned around and drank: "One brick to the right!" Waiting for Liu Xinyu to signal that the preparations were completed again, Zhang Yun nodded and drank: "Release!" ”
