Chapter 670: The Great Khan Has an Order

After the first few rounds of musket fire in the city, the Mongols left behind a group of corpses and wounded soldiers and retreated again.

Majan shouted at the Mongols from beyond the range of the muskets, but to no avail.

With the second retreat of the Mongols, Ma Shilong, who commanded the defense at the head of the city, also noticed the artillery array of Jianyu more than 300 paces away from the city.

As soon as the muskets at the head of the city stopped, Ma Shilong shouted an order: "Fran cannon!" Aim for the Tartar artillery array! Prepare for school shooting! ”

The three Fran machine gun teams of the Che Pao Battalion, which had been waiting for a long time and were a little impatient, immediately took action.

At the same time that Sun Degong waved the flag under the city and ordered the cannon to be fired, Ma Shilong also shouted at the head of the city: "Franco cannon, ignition!" Fire! ”

In an instant, the earth shook.

One hundred and eight Franco-machine guns at the head of the city were fired one after another, and the dense solid shells immediately covered the Wuzhen Chaoha artillery array where Sun Degong was located.

An iron bullet the size of an adult's fist pierced through the body of the crowd and continued to penetrate the crowd of red-flag-clad infantry where Ma Zhan was located, beating some of the Jianyu armored infantry standing in the front row wearing two layers of cotton armor to the stomach.

Not only did he destroy many of the general's cannons at once, but he also killed dozens of people in one fell swoop among the gunners under Sun Degong, making the artillery array that had just been erected a mess.

When Ma Zhan saw the power of the cannon at the head of the city, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but retreat, but he also knew that at this time, he couldn't vent his anger, even if he was killed by the cannon on the spot, he must not take a step back.

Therefore, although he was terrified in his heart, he still rode on his horse and brandished his saber and shouted: "No retreat!" Those who retreat will not be forgiven! ”

Ma Zhan shouted as he rode forward and cut down the Mongol soldiers and Wuzhenchao Hahan soldiers who had run in front of the Red Banner Infantry Brigade to the ground.

Ma Shilong, who was at the head of the city, saw that the artillery array under the city was silent, and the Mongol soldiers retreated in a big way, fearing that Jianyu would also retreat and no longer attack the city, so he immediately ordered the artillery bombardment to stop.

It was also at this time that Yue Tuo, under the escort of Rausa and others, led a large group of cavalry to the back of the Majan infantry brigade, and scolded Majan to quickly scold the impact.

Yue Tuo had already seen the artillery salvo at the head of the city, and knew that he would definitely not be able to stay in this dangerous place for a long time, and only by attacking frantically forward, and approaching the city could he avoid the artillery blows, so as soon as he rushed to the front of the battle, he immediately shouted the order: "Attack!" Offensive! Cowering, don't kill! Those who retreat without permission will be killed! ”

When Majan heard this order, he immediately gave the order to attack.

Groups of red-flag-clad and armored infantry, carrying ladders, rushed forward while the artillery at the head of the city had stopped shelling and the bows and muskets were silent.

Another group of red-banner infantry armed with swords, shields or bows and arrows also rushed forward, and hacked the Mongol soldiers who fled to the side and cowered to the ground one by one, forcing the Mongol soldiers who could not advance or retreat to launch a third attack on the city wall again.

At the same time, Yueto's fierce general, Raussa, also led most of the cavalry to gallop back and forth behind the infantry, shooting sharp arrows at the head of the city.

The musketeers, grenadiers, and wolf-milling pikemen at the head of the city carried a rain of arrows flying from below the city, and from time to time someone let out a muffled snort or scream, and fell to the head of the city.

As soon as these officers and men of the Guards who were unfortunately killed or wounded by arrows fell, the officers and men in the back row would immediately come forward to replenish them.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the remaining thousands of Mongol soldiers, under the pressure of the Red Banner infantry, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and finally came to the city wall again.

And what greeted them was round after round of bullets and bullets at the head of the city.

In this way, ladder after ladder approached the top of the city, but no Mongol soldiers or armored infantry were able to climb the city wall along the ladder.

They were either hit by muskets on their way to the city, or they were burned to death by grenades and fiery grenades thrown from the city.

The few remaining "lucky ones" managed to climb the ladder, but they were stabbed down the city by wolf millers or pikemen who had been prepared for a long time, and fell to their deaths.

Batch after group rushed up the ladder, and then batch after batch were shot by muskets, or knocked down by wolves.

Yue Tuo rode his horse hundreds of steps away in the "safe zone" with an anxious face, nervously looking forward, looking left and right, and the jujube red war horse under him seemed to feel the unprecedentedly strong uneasiness of his master, and kept snorting, snorting with his front hooves to shave the solid ice of the Wenyu River.

There are not many red flags, and every time a batch of flags dies, Yue Tuo's heart can't help but feel a pain.

Most of these people were born Jurchens who were surrendered and captured from the Savage Jurchen and Beishan Jurchen during the Northern Expedition of Huangtaiji at the beginning of the year.

These people are not afraid of death, and with a little equipment and training, they are all born warriors, and they should not die here in vain.

Yue Tuo was about to send someone back to tell Huang Taiji his suggestion that he could not attack, but suddenly heard the voice of the Yellow Flag Warrior Ah Shan not far behind him:

"Yuetobel! The Great Khan has an order! Be quick! Be quick! Don't stop! The first to ascend will be rewarded with the world's lords, and the former will be killed! ”

Behind Yue Tuo, the person who was running quickly in heavy armor and loudly conveying Huang Taiji's order was Ah Shan, the fierce general of the Yellow Banner.

Huang Taiji rode on a horse a few miles away and looked at the battlefield in front of him, and saw the battle on the Great Wall of Watergate, although it was extremely fierce, but he never climbed to the top of the city from his army, and looked at the ladders that had leaned on the head of the city, and his heart was also very anxious.

At this time, Ah Shan asked for war and asked to lead the elite armored infantry of the Yellow Banner to supervise the battle and capture the city, Huang Taiji immediately agreed, and promised that the first person to ascend the banner would be promoted to the world!

In this way, Ah Shan led the fifteen elite Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner, waving the banner, shouting and rushing over.

Hearing Ah Shan's order, Yue Tuo was angry in his heart, and was about to turn around to answer, but suddenly heard a cannon roar in the distance!

Yue Tuo subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, but saw that after the cannon rang out, the cannons on the city wall on the side of the Wenyu River spewed out flames one by one.

Tightly, the sound of "bang", "bang" and "bang" came continuously, from the military capital gate to the south, one hundred and twenty general cannons on the wall of the urn city outside Juyong Pass, one after another, and in an instant the entire ice surface of the Wenyu River was shrouded in the artillery fire at the head of the city.

The fifteen Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner led by Ah Shan had just dismounted and ran along the river, and beside the cavalry with red flags led by Yue Tuo, there was a sudden roar of artillery on the seemingly harmless city wall behind the military capital gate.

The grape-shaped shotgun specially selected was sprayed out by a large general's cannon filled with Dias gunpowder, and the Zhenghuang Qiding, who was rushing towards the direction of the water gate behind Ah Shan, was harvested one by one and lost his life.

Seeing this, Yue Tuo wanted to order a retreat, but Ah Shan, who had just rushed over, loudly conveyed Huang Taiji's previous order:

"Rush forward! Hurry forward! The Great Khan has an order! The first to ascend will be rewarded with the world's lords, and the former will be killed! ”

Seeing this, Yue Tuo knew that he could not retreat at this time, but he had always been shrewd, he immediately turned his horse's head, shouted to his men, and rushed towards the opposite bank of the Wenyu River, which was far away from the military capital Gate Urn City, not only to make way for Ah Shan's subordinates, but also to preserve his strength to a certain extent.

Yue Tuo had just escaped from the middle of the river, and the second round of artillery was also fired by the Second Town Vehicle Artillery Battalion of the Guards Army under the command of Ma Shilong.

Twenty Hongyi cannons and one hundred Chongzhen rear-loading smoothbore mother cannons fired almost at the same time, and an earth-shattering roar in the military capital did not disperse for a long time.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at everything in front of him, his heart was extremely happy, and his face, which had been silent because of nervousness for many days, showed a long-lost smile.

Corresponding to this is Huang Taiji, who was riding on a horse a few miles away to watch the battle, when the general's cannon on the military capital gate suddenly fired, he still had luck in his heart, thinking that as long as the speed of the impact was fast enough, he would be able to take the "crumbling" water gate city wall a few miles away.

It wasn't until the earth-shattering roar of cannons on the crumbling Shuimen city wall in his eyes came, and the solid projectiles, large or small, killed the cavalry, infantry and war horses of the Zhenghongqi and Zhenghuangqi in strings on the ice of the Wenyu River, that he was shocked and alerted, he was afraid that he had made a serious mistake!

This kind of artillery density was something he had never seen in Jinzhou City, even if the Hongyi cannon at the head of Datong City had a long range, he did not feel that it was so powerful as the one in front of him.

Hundreds of artillery pieces fired together, and the visual and auditory impact on Huang Taiji and other ministers of the Later Jin Kingdom and the leaders of the Mongol tribes was unbelievable for a while, and they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
