This person is Zhu Ketu, who injured his leg, and it stands to reason that he should belong to the category of the abandoned part. It's just that he is not only an officer of a hundred households, but also a deep Amin, and he was born in the Jurchen aristocracy of Haixi, and his family is also quite related to Amin, so Amin also kept him special. Zhu Ketu is also really brave, the wound on his leg is still dripping with blood, and he didn't lag behind with the army, but he was still brave.

He commanded the cavalry under his command to disperse very widely, but about forty people pulled a width of about 100 meters, like a large net with wide holes, and fiercely covered the opposite partridge town.

They rushed very cautiously, after all, they had seen so many battles with Wu Yijun, and they also knew how powerful Wu Yijun was, so their speed was not fast, and they were all slowly moving forward.

But there was an indescribable silence in the camp, a deathly silence, as if there was no reaction to it.

Finally, when they were still a hundred meters from the camp wall, the shots rang out.

The crisp sound of gunfire resounded all over the world, and the sluggish and unaesthetic but rhythmic snap, snap, snap, snap sound unique to flintlock pistols was like a demon's cruel smile, and after several months, it finally reappeared in the ears of the Jurchen soldiers.

At this moment, I don't know how many people trembled violently, and that terrifying and bloody memory resurfaced in their hearts.

Amin was no exception, but he had something else in his heart - anticipation of the coming revenge.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, he couldn't help but feel a lot quieter in his heart, the previous Wuyi Army camp was too quiet. It's so quiet that you don't even know what's inside. And the unknown is always frightening and unsettling. I have to say that Amin is indeed an extremely cautious person, and it has come to this time. He still wondered if it was a trap, but the sound of a gunshot broke the last hesitation in his heart.

"It's Wu Yijun!"

Although the gunshots rang out, because Zhu Ketu and the others were already prepared, they pulled very open, so that only three people were knocked down by this row of guns.

It was also Zhu Ketu's bad luck, the war horse was hit by lead bullets, and the war horse under his crotch neighed miserably, his front legs were weak, and he fell to the ground. I can't live with my eyes. Zhu Ketu was caught off guard, and the whole person was thrown out fiercely, but because his feet were connected to the stool, the whole person was swept into a circle of more than 270 degrees in the air and smashed to the ground.

How fierce the momentum was, Zhu Ketu only felt severe pain all over his body at the moment, as if the bones in his whole body were broken, and he fainted without snorting.

Amin glanced at it and said, "Order." Let them come back! ”

The crisp sound of the gong sounded, and Zhu Ketu's subordinates hurriedly beat their horses and retreated, and two people who were not afraid of death came down, and untied the stirrups on Zhu Ketu's feet. dragged him on the horse like a dead dog, and fled back in a hurry.

Perhaps Wu Yijun in the camp felt that wasting lead bullet for them was really worth the loss, so he didn't release the gun. And so I let them go.

"It seems that the main general in it is an old oilman." Amin sighed faintly. Suddenly, he was laughing at it, if he wasn't an experienced old oilman. How could Lian Zining stay here to guard here? It's just that no matter how old you are, no matter how oily you are, no matter how many ways you come, I will only go all the way, and I will use the army to crush you, you are a hundred tricks, what's the use?

After Zhu Ketu and the others returned, Amin raised his hand high and shouted: "Order, charge, charge the whole army!" ”

With Amin's order, the whining horn sounded, and the soldiers began to slowly instigate the war horses under their crotches, and then slowly accelerated, slowly accelerated, and finally reached the apex, rushing towards Partridge Town.

On all sides of Partridge Town, there is such a scene, tens of thousands of troops gallop on horseback, wrapping Partridge Town in the center, smoke and dust fill the sky, the earthquake trembles, tens of thousands of troops shout in unison, the sound of shouting and killing shocks the sky, and makes people's hearts extremely shocked.

This kind of power is almost comparable to the power of heaven and earth, the vision of lightning and thunder.

It really makes people feel invincible and irresistible.

The camp of Partridge Town is actually not large, that is, about 300 zhang in radius, and it was basically built within the scope of the original Partridge Town. At this time, a wooden platform about two zhang high was built behind the camp wall, and Qin Liren was poking straight on it, he was wearing a very powerful battle armor, which was the exclusive armor of the highest-level military attache and general of the Wuyi Army.

The armor is made of Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, the inside is a silk lining, and the outside is a layer of calfskin inner armor, which is soft and comfortable, and can also prevent the skin from being worn by the hard armor. On the outside, there is a slightly thicker layer of skin, and on the outside, it is covered with very thick iron leaves the size of half a palm, which are made of fine stainless steel, and the edges are glowing with a cold blue light. On the chest, there is a huge heart shield the size of a sea bowl, which is made of solid fine copper, which is very thick and heavy, enough to protect the heart, worthy of the name.

The helmet is silk on the inside, calfskin on the outside, a copper-plated steel plate on the outside, and a high jewel on the top of the head.

The whole set of armor, from head to toe, is delicate and mighty, but also has a very strong protective performance.

At this height, the entire battlefield can be seen at a glance, and it is even more clear that the Tartar cavalry who charged over.

It's getting closer.

He raised his right hand high and shouted, "Order, all flintlock musketeers are ready to shoot." ”

The musketeers all raised their flintlock pistols, their ammunition already filled, their hands on the triggers, their eyes on the spot.

Three hundred, two hundred, one hundred, fifty!

One hundred and fifty meters.

This is already a fairly sure range for flintlock pistols!

Qin Liren's right hand fell heavily: "Shoot!" ”

"Shoot!" Countless grassroots officers stood up and shouted, and the hand of Sergeant Wu Yi firmly held the gun and pulled the trigger.

Qin Liren's order was conveyed, and the more than 2,000 firecrackers standing behind the four walls of the southeast, northwest, and northwest calmly pulled the trigger.

That's right, more than 2,000. In reality, the defenders of Partridge Town were nowhere near as many as Amin had expected. There were probably less than seven thousand people, and among them were flintlock muskeers. There are only about 2,000 people. The two thousand people were scattered on four walls, and there were more than 500 people on one side, and they couldn't even fill the entire front, so they didn't need to divide the first, second, and third rows.

The crisp sound of gunfire resounded through the heavens and the earth, and those Jurchen knights and Mongolian cavalry only saw a cluster of fire coming out of the burning sticks in the hands of the Ming soldiers hiding behind the wooden fence, and then they saw a cluster of blood flowers on the chest and thighs of the robe beside them, some died directly, and some were lying on the back of the horse and moaning loudly in pain.

Some were horses that were hit. The whole person was thrown out by the war horse who was crazy about the pain, and fell heavily to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Some were particularly unlucky, they were hit in the head, their heads were shattered, and the red and white splashed the soldiers next to them.

However, before leaving, these Tartar cavalry had been reminded in advance, knowing that Wu Yi's army was powerful, and officers at all levels had also explained the matter. Therefore, they were not extremely flustered, but they all beat their horses and galloped forward!

After one round of shooting, it was already just over eighty meters.

this distance. For the cavalry, it was too late to reload with buckshot. Qin Liren was already yelling: "Flintlock gunners withdraw, gunners!" ”

With Qin Liren's order. The pikemen behind the flintlock musketeers split countless roads for human traffic, and the flintlock musketeers ran briskly backwards with their guns in hand. Soon it was gone.

When they had passed, the passage was closed tightly.

Amin was in the middle of the army, and he was surrounded by many guards, so he was naturally not in any danger, after all, the chance of a stray bullet hitting the commander on the battlefield was still very small.

The round of shooting just now caused about four or five hundred casualties to the coalition forces, but for the coalition forces with a total of more than 40,000, this casualty was really a drop in the bucket, and they didn't care about it. After the army trampled, countless horse hooves trampled mercilessly, and those wounded and fallen war horse cavalry had already been trampled into pulp.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer.

The coalition cavalry stared at Wu Yijun viciously, they were already holding their breath, and they were thinking of rushing into the middle of the camp of these men and dogs and killing wantonly!

Without those firearms, what are these Han dogs?

Amin frowned slightly, he felt a little strange in his heart, the firepower of these Wu Yi troops today seemed to be ridiculously bad. He has fought with Wu Yijun many times, and each time he has caused heavy losses and low morale from these uninterrupted and non-stop guns and bullets like rain, and today, the density of these guns and bullets is obviously much more sparse than before. And according to his understanding of Wu Yijun, Wu Yijun's shooting is generally a three-stage type, but today there is only one round of gunfire.

In any case, the coalition forces have rushed to within fifty meters.

They drew their bows and arrows and shot at the back of the camp.

The Jurchens were thick and heavy arrows, so they fired straight shots, while the Mongols used horn bows, most of which were projectiles.

Jurchen cavalry archery and Mongolian cavalry archery are all heroes of the time, and few people can compare.

Dense like a dark cloud of feathered arrows fell towards the fence, but when their arrow rain spilled out, but did not receive the expected effect, to deal with the opponent's arrow rain, Wu Yijun has long been very experienced, the front row of thick and dense pikemen, spears pointed obliquely, like a forest of trees, dense and heavy. When the rain of arrows poured down, they shook the spear, and the top of the spear suddenly shook continuously, and the falling feathered arrows were all knocked away, almost thirty percent lost their effect, and the remaining seventy percent, some lost their strength, and some lost their heads, nailed to the ground. Of course, it also caused some casualties to Wu Yijun, and the soldiers who died in the battle were immediately carried to the back, and the robe behind him was immediately put on top. The wounded soldiers gritted their teeth, broke the cluster of arrows, and continued to hold on.

In addition, with the blocking of the fence, the effect of the feather arrow is a little worse.

But there were too many coalition forces, and so many feather arrows were spilled, which still caused huge casualties to Wu Yi's army.

Blood was spilled, and the earth was stained.

By this time, the coalition forces had already rushed to a range of only about thirty meters from the fence.

Followed by. What frightened these coalition forces happened, those Wu Yi troops who were in front. Holding the spear tightly in their hands, they were even able to see. The tips of the spears, dense as woods, protruded through the cracks in the fence. The whole battalion is like a huge steel hedgehog, which looks extremely sharp and indestructible!

And what made them even more frightened was that among these pikemen, there were countless black holes and muzzles!

It was a stout, stout cannon like a tiger crouching.

Tiger Squat Cannon!

Qin Liren was already roaring loudly: "Tiger squat cannon, fire!" ”

Launch!

When the cavalry of these coalition forces rushed to within twenty meters. The Tiger Squat Cannon has been fired!

It's overwhelming, it's unstoppable!

At this moment, a dense and scorching steel storm covered the coalition knights in front, like a thick wall composed of countless red and blazing lead bullets filled with huge energy, and slapped fiercely on the body of the coalition soldiers. The cavalry shock formation of the Jurchens and Mongols actually stagnated completely.

After all, the Tiger Squat Cannon is also a cannon, and its kinetic energy is not comparable to ordinary firearms lead bullets, and the lead bullets the size of little fingers smashed the leather armor on the bodies of these soldiers, and then smashed on their bodies. Not to mention the leather robes of the Mongols and the leather armor of the Jurchen light horses. Even the armored cavalry among the Jurchens were shattered and pierced through their bodies.

The coalition knights who rushed to the front were instantly broken into sacks by the dense lead bullets, and countless blood holes were opened on their bodies. And the moment the lead bullet entered, the muscles and skin around these blood holes were scorched by the high temperature, and even blood could not flow out.

A burnt incense instantly wafted over the battlefield.

Many buckshots penetrated a person after that. The remnants were not weakened, and they hit the Jurchen soldiers behind them fiercely.

It's like wheat that has been cut down in patches. The coalition knights who were in front of the shock also fell one by one, after this round of shooting. The nearly 13,400 allied soldiers who rushed to the front were almost completely annihilated, just in an instant, with countless dead and wounded, and countless wounded lying on the ground groaning loudly. Countless smashed war horses also lay on the ground and wailed.

Severed limbs, torn human bodies, bodies as tattered as sacks, blood flowing everywhere, this place immediately turned into a blood slaughterhouse.

The momentum of the entire coalition army rushing forward couldn't help but be stunned.

When Amin saw the blood, he couldn't help but think of the years since the defeat of Zhenyuan Mansion, the humiliating escape, the panic and forbearance, the loss of his homeland, the nowhere of his family, and the fear in his heart. At this moment, all the emotions bloomed from the heart, exploded, and swept wildly. In his eyes, the dead pig was only a boundless red, like madness, and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! Kill all these men and dogs, and take revenge! ”

Infected by his emotions, the Jurchens roared wildly, and even the Mongolian cavalry not far away from them couldn't help but jump in their hearts when they saw it, and they were secretly jealous.

And over there, when the cannon sounded, I couldn't help but feel a violent jump in my heart, as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer, looking at my own cavalry with dead and wounded, I couldn't help but feel distressed to death. He came here this time with the mentality of picking up cheap, and with such a mentality, he was naturally unwilling to pay much. He thought that Wu Yijun was very good at defending the city, and the field battle was average, but he didn't expect that Wu Yijun's firearms were still so sharp and difficult to handle.

At this time, Ha was not in the south of the town, and he was not afraid of being heard by Amin, so he shouted loudly: "Order, pass the order, don't rush, let those Jurchens take the lead, let's follow behind." ”

The momentum of the 10,000-horse charge has risen, whether it is the order to speed up the charge or the order to avoid its edge, after all, it can only be changed slightly, at least not for now.

The next moment, the coalition cavalry had already viciously crashed into the fence of the camp!

The wooden fence has been strengthened in the past few days, and it is all driven deep into the ground with thigh-thick hardwood, which is three feet deep, and the surface is more than six feet high, and there is a gap of about half a foot between the two rows of large trees, so that the whole wall is about two feet thick. The gaps were filled with a lot of branches, sand and gravel and other things, making the whole wall look very strong and heavy, of course, with the ability of Wu Yijun, it took a few days to build a heavy cement wall. But that didn't meet Lian Zining's needs - seeing such a wall here, I'm afraid Amin didn't have the courage to attack. If he doesn't come to fight Partridge Town, where will the whole plan begin?

Even though the fence is strong enough. It's not enough for these tens of thousands of cavalry to be extremely ferocious and shocking.

At that moment, many knights and war horses slammed into the fence, their heads and bodies hit the big wood, and they were hit so that their heads were broken and bleeding, and even their brains burst out, and they died on the spot. But the seemingly solid fence also shook violently, and even hit it crookedly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spearmen of the Wu Yi Army, who were guarding behind the fence, raised their spears and stabbed forward vigorously.

It's like countless early mornings of training on the field of the big camp and the colonel, and they are very familiar with this action.

It was like a steel hedgehog that had reined in the spikes on its body, and suddenly it flicked out fiercely. The spikes all over the body stood up hideously, and the coalition cavalry in front of them seemed to be slapped on their bodies by a dense steel forest, and their bodies were instantly pierced by the tips of countless spears. Due to the problem of angle, even the neck of the war horse was pierced with countless blood holes, and blood gushed out.

Then the next moment, the well-trained pikemen drew their guns and continued to stab.

The sharp tip of the spear was drawn, and a huge amount of blood instantly gushed out from the countless wounds on the body, and the bodies of those coalition soldiers were like rotten sacks. Losing the support of his spear, he fell limply from his horse.

The spear continued to thrust.

The pikemen's faces were resolute, their hands were steady, and their strength was sufficient. Never waste a penny of effort. They are all veterans who have been in the army for at least a year and a half, and they practice this action every day, I don't know tens of thousands of times.

The pikemen's forbearance came as a surprise to the coalition soldiers. Through a wall, they couldn't reach people, but they could easily kill them, and this feeling made them angry.

Many of the soldiers who thought they were good at archery had already drawn their bows and arrows and shot them into the wall. Unfortunately, it didn't work out well.

Amin yelled: "Leave those Wu Yi soldiers alone, tear down the wall." Tear down the wall, quick! ”

With his order, at least the Jurchen soldiers began to concentrate on dealing with the walled wall in front of them, and at this time, Qin Liren, who was standing on the wooden platform, looked at the spearmen guarding behind the wall, with a complicated expression. There is guilt, there is unbearability, there is pain.

All the soldiers except the pikemen had already withdrawn, and at the speed at which the coalition forces were demolishing the wall, it was enough for the pikemen to evacuate, but this was an opportunity to kill and injure the coalition forces—you know, among the demands made by the Lords, there was the one that 'kill as many enemies as possible', and it was an extremely important one.

What's more, it is also necessary to leave some men to come out and entangle the coalition soldiers after they break through the wall, so that they cannot easily escape.

"My lord, quickly withdraw, if you don't leave those Tartars to come in, it will be too late!" The guard behind him urged anxiously.

"Alas!" Qin Liren let out a long sigh, waved his hand heavily, and strode towards the stage.

After all, he did not give the order for the pikemen to retreat.

And in just one hundred and ten breaths, which is about a minute, the wall is already unstoppable.

A section of the Xizhai wall about fifty meters long was overturned, and a huge opening appeared, and the Jurchen cavalry rushed in from inside, and a large number of people poured in in an instant.

They roared excitedly as they rode their horses: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" ”

"Kill!"

But when the large army came in and saw the situation in front of them clearly, they couldn't help but be surprised.

As they expected, there were indeed continuous tents in this big camp, but what they didn't expect was that among the tents on their faces, there were several huge fortresses. Each fortress has a radius of almost thirty zhang, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the outside is a gray and heavy city wall, I don't know what kind of material it is, but at a glance you know that it is quite strong. The walls were about three or four meters high, and there was not a single person on them, but there were countless holes in the walls, one every other foot. The height of this fortress is much shorter than the wall, and there is only a tent to cover it, so I didn't see it just now, but I can see it clearly when I come in now.

Don't look at the wall, there is no one, but look at the shooting holes of those black holes, the Jurchen knights seem to be able to see the muzzles of the black holes inside, and it is conceivable that once they get close there. They must have been greeted by a scorching storm of steel.

They know it.

After a delay of this time, the walls of many areas were opened. Armies poured in from all directions.

Suddenly, the pikemen, who had been on the defensive just now, immediately fell into a heavy encirclement.

They weren't flustered. That pikeman Qianhu was the one who almost quarreled with Qin Liren in the big tent that day. He glanced in the direction of the high platform, but saw that it was already empty, and he didn't seem surprised by this result, but he just smiled miserably, and a voice echoed in his heart: "My lord, if our lives can be exchanged for our Twelfth Army and no one will be looked down upon again, it's worth it!" ”

He shouted, "Brothers, let's fight the enemy today. There is only one death! Formation! Fight the enemy! ”

"Formation! Fight the enemy! ”

The soldiers of Wu Yi roared loudly and formed a thick phalanx under the leadership of officers at all levels.

The phalanx is not large, about ten times ten, and it happens to be a hundred households, with three layers outside, facing all sides. The tip of the spear was unanimous to the outside, and the sixteen men inside were ready to take the place of the wounded or tired robes.

Wu Yijun's outstanding military qualities are manifested at this time. About two thousand pikemen, almost in a very short time, split into twenty medium-sized phalanxes, like little hedgehogs. And the steel thorns on his body were all blown up, and he looked very piercing.

At the moment when the wall was breached. The pikemen who had lost their protection suffered heavy casualties, but now they were in formation. The situation immediately stabilized.

The Tartar cavalry on the periphery walked around them, and the lanterns seemed to shoot arrows at them while turning, but they were helpless in a short time, although the pikemen were still suffering casualties, but the situation was much better than just now.

Otherwise, forming a formation is the best way for the infantry to deal with the cavalry.

As soon as Amin saw those forts, his scalp immediately exploded.

He didn't expect these Wu Yi troops to be so cunning. In the information obtained by the spies, there was no existence of these six fortresses at all, and in his imagination, he broke through the walls of the large camp outside, which was the Wu Yi army to be slaughtered and the road leading to the palace.

Now the main road is out of the way, but there are six more forts.

There is no need to worry about the Wu Yi army in the fortress, anyway, the purpose of this trip is King Liang, kill or kidnap King Liang, this matter is over, it doesn't matter if you kill these Wu Yi troops or not, just withdraw directly.

But now the question is - with these six fortresses, who knows if Wu Yijun hid King Liang inside, Wu Yijun is not a fool!

But Amin is also an extraordinary person after all, and when he frowned, he had already made a decision.

He shouted: "Sulazansong, Hagelqi, you two lead people and bring down these three fortresses in the west, at all costs!" ”

"Yes, Lord Amin!" The two Jurchen Wanhu responded in unison, and each led his troops away.

"Tell me to take charge of leading people to deal with these spearmen of the Wuyi Army, and don't let them do anything bad!"

"Tell him not to let him lead someone to capture those three castles, and tell him that if he can't beat them down and fall short, then this time will be in vain!"

"Yes!" The herald slapped his horse and gave the order.

"Hezhen Huo'er, you bring someone with me. Kill the palace! Walk! ”

Amin shouted, rode ahead, and led the people forward

With Amin's orders one by one, the entire battlefield immediately became orderly.

The Jurchen army, under the leadership of their respective leaders, divided into five routes, like five wild dragons, swept towards their goals. Amin's goal was extremely clear, leading the cavalry along the resting cement road and heading straight to the palace.

The palace is only a mile away from the camp, but after a dozen breaths, it has already reached about thirty zhang in front of the palace.

This distance is relatively safe, and the Ming army's bows and arrows can't shoot so far, and even if they do, they are not powerful.

Amin raised his head slightly, squinted at the majestic and lofty city tower, smiled slightly, his smile was full of ridicule and disdain, as if he was talking to himself: "If it is really the Heavenly Dynasty, it has set up enough shelves, and it is so exquisite to come to this wilderness town!" ”

On the top of the city tower, Xu Xun pressed his hand on the female wall, staring at the Jurchen not far away, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

The army is pressing, there is no escape, there is only a fight to the death.

Behind him stood a dozen or so Forbidden Army soldiers, looking at the Jurchen knights outside—this was the first time they had seen a Jurchen in their lives—their faces were full of nervousness and despair, some were quietly swallowing saliva, and some were already shivering.

After all, they have seen less, and they have never seen any big battles, and if they follow the army, they will be more courageous, but at this time, they will face the tens of thousands of troops of the other party with no more than a hundred people, and they will really only despair in their hearts.

Xu Xun still wanted to fight hard, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Who can shoot that enemy chieftain?" ”

Their eyes swept in front of everyone one by one, and everyone shook their heads.

The bows in their hands are all good bows, but they must also be drawn and shot accurately, and the Ming soldiers have never been good at shooting arrows.

Xu Xun couldn't help but be disappointed, and scolded him fiercely.

Amin didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he waved his hand heavily: "Go in!" ”

"Order!"

A Jurchen hundred-hundred-household turned over and dismounted, with more than 30 armored cavalrymen under his hands, in groups of four, carrying a big log that had just been lifted from the wall. This big wood is all selected high-quality, full of waist thickness, carried by four big men, and supported by another person behind it. They carried the big wood, and as soon as they accelerated, they slammed into the palace gate.

Xu Xun's face changed, and he shouted: "Release the arrow, release the arrow!" ”

Arrows rained down.

However, the rain was too sparse, and the sparse dozen arrows were scattered, and although the Jurchens had died, more Jurchens had already rushed to the entrance of the city gate with big trees.

"Khooth!"

There was a loud bang, the whole battlefield was heard clearly, it seemed that the city tower was shaking, three giant trees hit the city gate at the same time, and the two gates with yellow copper nails the size of the bowl were directly knocked into the air, and flew heavily into the city gate hole.

"Broken door!"

The Jurchens roared excitedly in unison.

Amin pointed to the gate and shouted, "Kill in!" ”

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly froze.

In this palace, there was suddenly billowing smoke, and the flames rose into the sky, and the entire sky was reflected red.

Through the deep cave of the city gate, you can see the fire inside.

The heat wave was blowing in my face, and I could feel the heat on my face from so far away.

The fire was so fast that it spread in all directions almost instantly.

Xu Xun turned around and looked at the direction of the fire in the palace, his body trembled like sifting chaff, and he howled in his throat: "His Royal Highness King Liang, he ...... Martyrdom! (To be continued.) )
