Chapter 355: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
"Prince Qirui, Cao Bianjiao is making that mortal charge this way, isn't it ......?"
The one who spoke was a Qing army with a white flag, and now Cao Bianjiao was attacking bravely, and the Ming troops on the opposite side who were originally like lambs were all transformed, and they all became fierce warriors who were not afraid of death.
Under such an offensive, the Mongols and Koreans who played the role of cannon fodder, even if they were resisting head-on with the white flag warriors, the casualties were still increasing.
Dolgon was Prince Heshuo, one of the most glorious nobles of the Eight Banners, and at such times, it was only natural to consider his safety.
However, after listening to the words of this leader, a trace of disdain immediately flashed in Dorgon's eyes, obviously not believing that Cao Bianjiao could rush over, only listening to him snort coldly;
"How are these Ming soldiers better than my Qing warriors? They are now surrounded on all sides, and it is difficult to fly with wings, not to mention that there are Bayala camp guards around this king, these warriors are all one in a million, and there is no need to persuade them! ”
Seeing Dorgon's resolute attitude, the white flag leader nodded and ran back to supervise the siege.
At this time, a rumbling cannon suddenly sounded in the distance, but at first no one looked back at all, and it was dark and rumbling in the middle of the night, and even Dolgon thought that this was the follow-up Qing army taking advantage of the situation to attack the city.
Although it is not in the plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is nothing eternal at all, and Huang Taiji is anxious to eliminate the Ming army, and it is understandable that he ordered a general attack.
But soon some people in the Qing army realized that something was wrong, and these artillery fires were only sporadically falling next to the besieging Qing troops at first, even a few times around Dorgon.
Although he felt that something was wrong, no one thought that the Ming army was coming to reinforce the army, and they all thought that Wu Zhenchao's artillery battalion was injured by mistake.
But it wasn't long before more artillery fire was tilting in this direction.
This time it was no longer a sporadic temptation, but it was launched towards the hillside where Dolgon was, and without preparation, the white-flaged Bayala guard battalion was beaten up, and the elite Bayala guards around Dolgon were turned on their backs in an instant.
Although these Bayala soldiers were extremely elite soldiers, all of them were brave and good at fighting, their heavy armor could not prevent the baptism of artillery fire, and a single round of scattering was already a heavy loss.
Hundreds of people came together to defend Dorgon, but at this time, the power of the opponent's artillery was even greater, and a single shot could almost alarm several horses.
These are all war horses that have seen a big battle, but they still can't escape the law of animals, almost all of them are horses stumble after being frightened by nearby projectiles, and many of the Baya cavalry on their backs have been thrown off their horses, and there are also uncontrolled scurrying around, causing chaos in the rear of the Qing army.
"Bang ....."
A loud bang sounded overhead, and Dolgon's mount was frightened and scurrying uncontrollably.
Trying his best to stabilize his horse, Baya Lazhangjing took the time to look up and saw the lead bullet shooting straight towards Dolgon, who was controlling his mount like him at this time, and had no time to pay attention to the situation above his head.
Without any hesitation, this Baya Lazhangjing immediately gave up his horse, threw even the tiger-headed heavy knife in his hand on the ground, and flew towards Dolgon regardless of it.
Dolgon, who was still stabilizing his mount, suddenly felt a strong force behind him, and was thrown to the ground immediately after, and he looked back for some reason, only to find that there was only a blood pit left in the original position, and the horse with a broken spine was lying in the pit and screaming.
The anger that had just risen dissipated instantly, and after a short period of rejoicing, Dorgon quickly adjusted his mentality, and when he saw Baya Lazhangjing kneeling on the ground in panic, he smiled calmly:
"Bashilu, you're doing a great job!"
Hearing this, the white flag Ba Ya Lazhang Jing Ba Shilu was immediately overjoyed, and still knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Prince Xie Rui's future!"
Waving his hand to indicate that this was nothing, Dorgon was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly heard the sound of Songshan Fort opening its gates.
It turned out that the Ming army, who was as timid as a mouse, had opened the gate of Songshan Fort not long ago, and Wang Tingchen, Qiu Minyang and others rushed out to rescue Cao Bianjiao, and the Ming army who was still guarding the city wall was actually cheering with swords and guns.
......
A group of fast horses came running from afar, and there were a few small flags behind them, which were the attire of the pacesetters of the Ming army, but they were wearing armor inlaid with yellow flags.
When Dolgon saw it, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, the yellow flag was the emperor's army, and judging from the current situation, it seemed that something was wrong behind it.
"Prince Rui! The dragon tent is in danger, Your Majesty has an order, return to the aid quickly, the dragon tent is in danger, return to the aid quickly!! ”
The soldier with the yellow flag was very anxious, and immediately handed the command flag to Dolgon's hand without stopping after shouting, and said with a heavy breath:
"Prince Rui, I don't know where a Ming army came out, it was all cavalry, and the dragon tent was only guarded by a thousand Bayala battalions, and the remaining Mongols and Han dogs couldn't resist it, and they had already broken up!"
Dolgon was shocked, turned around and hated to look at Cao Bianjiao, who was shouting to kill him and rushing over, although he wanted to kill him here, but it was not a trivial matter for the dragon tent to be attacked when the rear was empty.
At that moment, he immediately raised the command flag and shouted:
"Aobai, this king ordered you to lead 3,000 warriors and 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banners to guard this place, if there is a loss before the return of the army, you will be beheaded to determine the heart of the army!"
Hearing this, seeing the solemn expression on Dolgon's face again, even if he was tall and big, and Ao Bai, who was known as the Jurchen Baturu, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and immediately clasped his fists and shouted:
"Prince Rui rest assured, the ministers will never let any Ming dog go over!"
Nodding, Dolgon had no reason, and immediately changed horses and rushed to the back mountain for reinforcements with more than 200 Bayala guards who had just been adjusted.
However, when he was in a hurry, Dolgon still couldn't figure it out, it was all at this point, and which Ming army dared to risk his life to reinforce Songshan.
And look at this way of playing, if you don't fight, you will go to the Huang Taiji Dragon Tent as soon as you hit it?
......
In the back mountain, there are already corpses all over the field, shouting and killing.
In the central tent, the Yellow Dragon Banner that used to fly high had broken off at some point, and it was messily spread on the corpses of several yellow-clad Baya soldiers.
Not long ago, a lead bullet hit the Huang Taiji Dragon Tent impartially, but in an instant, half of this majestic camp tent had collapsed, and many Baya soldiers were killed on the spot, and even the Yellow Dragon Banner was nowhere to be found.
A man with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, wearing golden dragon armor, sat on the top, although he looked like a tiger's waist, but he held a white towel in his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and coughed up black blood from time to time, extremely weak.
The remaining half of the camp tent was full of Bayala guards around Huang Taiji, and the sound of fighting outside seemed to be getting closer and closer with the continuous sound of artillery fire.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the walking catalogue Zhenzhangjing was hacked to death by a Ming general who was riding on a horse and looked like a tiger, and he was about to be killed!"
Hearing this, Huang Taiji "poofed", and this time he squirted out no longer black bruises, but red blood.
Hearing the footsteps outside the tent getting closer and closer, the pro-soldiers and nobles with yellow flags inside were all tightly shrunk around Huang Taiji, aiming their knives at the direction from which the sound came.
Suddenly, a Ming general in iron armor stepped in, his eyes full of murderous intent glanced around the Yellow Dragon tent, and finally stopped at Huang Taiji, who was dressed in golden armor.
