Chapter Ninety-One: The Deadly Alley
Under the continuous bombardment of more than a dozen cannons of the Qing army, cracks appeared in the section of the city wall of the East City Gate, and it seemed that it could not be supported for long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The generals will listen to the order," Yanguli said loudly.
The generals such as Gyala and Niu Lu came to Yangulima and bowed down to wait for him to give the military order.
Pointing to the cracked city wall, Yanguli said: "The capture of Zhuozhou is today, after the city wall collapsed, Duolong Ao took twelve Niu Lu as the vanguard, the first wave rushed into the city to entangle the defenders, the red flag, the blue flag, the white flag, and the blue flag each left a Niu Lu as a preparation, and the rest of the whole army attacked, after capturing Zhuozhou, Dasuo for three days, I want to let these Ming dogs know the consequences of resisting my Qing Heavenly Soldiers." ”
"The lord is wise." The generals agreed, and their faces were filled with greedy and cruel smiles.
Under the continuous shelling of the Qing army, another half an hour passed, and a section of the ten-meter-long city wall at the east gate of Zhuozhou finally collapsed with a bang, and thick dust rose into the air, completely submerging that section of the city wall.
"Warriors of Manchuria, rush with me! Capture Zhuozhou, Dasuo for three days, kill ah......" Duolong Ao howled wildly and led the horse to rush towards the gap.
Seeing that Lord Jiala was so brave, the morale of the Qing soldiers was high, especially when they heard that they could capture Zhuozhou for three days, they were even more brave to be the first, and they couldn't wait to step in and grab the silver and the women immediately.
Seeing the soldiers rushing to ride their horses and gallop away, Duolong Ao slowed down the speed of his horses, he knew that the militia in the city was extremely cunning and difficult to deal with, and he didn't want to be the first to go in, so he rode and ran behind without slowness.
The Qing soldiers rode quickly over the gap in the city wall and entered Zhuozhou, where they saw a half-man-high earthen wall of sacks.
In front of the earthen wall were twenty tiger squatting cannons, and the streets on both sides of the gap had been cut off by several deep and wide pits.
After a pause, Duolong Ao commanded the Qing army to ride their horses and scream wildly, and came straight to the sack earthen wall that was more than half a person high. Running and running, the war horses neighed, and one after another fell to the ground, and the Qing troops on the horses fell out one after another.
"Huh? What's going on? Doron Ao reined in his horse
Looking down to take a closer look, he saw something faintly in the soil on the ground, he jumped off his horse and picked up one to take a closer look, and saw that it was an iron triangular thorn that he had never seen before
The triangular spines are sharp and thin, and as soon as the feet of men and horses are stepped on, they will pierce into the flesh and jump up in pain.
"Despicable, hateful." After reading this thing, Duolong Ao gritted his teeth and scolded, glanced at the Ming army in front of the earthen wall in the distance, and said, "Everyone get off their horses and lead the way, pay attention to your step." ”
After listening to the order, he looked at the soldiers who had broken their heads and broken bones, and the rest of them obediently dismounted and led their horses slowly.
But even so, there were still soldiers or horses stepping on the triangular nails.
"Oops, my foot ......," a soldier cried out in pain, holding his foot.
Seeing that the Qing army was moving forward slowly, Li Xian smiled, and he said to Zhao Guohua: "Captain Zhao, this little thing you made is quite powerful, and the Tartar cavalry has been stopped by it." ”
Smiling, Zhao Guohua did not speak.
The Qing army walked cautiously, step by step, on the roofs on both sides of the street, the firecrackers of the volunteer team put cold guns one by one, and from time to time Qing soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.
Finally walked out of the section of the earth, and there was no longer that hateful triangular thorn on the ground, Duo Long Ao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that when the Qing army walked out of that section of the dirt road, it had already entered the range of the tiger squat cannon, which was calculated by Zhao Guohua.
Seeing that the Qing army had entered the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon, Li Xian said loudly: "Prepare to ignite." ”
"Wait a little longer, it's not too late to fight when more people from the Tartars come." Zhao Guohua said.
After waiting for a while, at last, the Tartar brigade had all arrived, and in addition to the hundred and ten soldiers who had fallen and died, there were more than 3,500 horses.
Looking at the more than 3,000 iron horsemen in front of him, Duolong Ao looked at the Ming army not far away, and said proudly, "Despicable Ming dog, you just stretch out your neck and wait for Lao Tzu's saber to cut it." ”
With these horses, he was sure to wipe out the Ming army in the city.
"Get on the horse." Duolong Ao gave the order, and the Qing soldiers straddled their horses one after another.
At this time, it was a good time to fire, and Zhao Guohua shouted: "Ignite!" Fire! ”
"Ignition! Fire! Li Xian repeated the order.
As soon as the words fell, five cannons rang out, and flames erupted from the muzzles of the five tiger squatting cannons, and the five regiments flew to the Qing army that was loading the whole team with scattered bullets of iron sand and gravel, and immediately, more than 100 Qing soldiers and horses were beaten to death on the ground.
The ranks of the Qing army were in chaos, and everyone took refuge in the back.
"The first row of tiger squat cannons retreats the charge, and the second row of tiger squat cannons ignites! Fire! Li Xian ordered.
The five tiger squat cannons sprayed five balls of scattered bullets one after another, and a miserable scream came, and more than 100 Qing soldiers were killed.
"The third row of tiger squat cannons ignited! Fire! Li Xian ordered.
The five tiger squat cannons sprayed five balls of scattered bullets one after another, and another scream came.
Seeing that hundreds of Manchurian warriors were killed by the Ming artillery without fighting back, Duolong Ao's eyes were red with anger and trembling all over, and he said loudly: "Spread out, hurry up and get on the horse, and rush over to the Ming Dog." ”
When the Qing soldiers heard his words, they hurriedly dispersed, but the streets were so wide and there were so many people, although there were abominable triangular thorns behind them, it was safer to retreat, so everyone had to retreat a little back at this time.
"The fourth row of tiger squat cannon ignition! Fire! Li Xian ordered.
"Tom tom", the five tiger squatting cannons sprayed five more balls of scattered bombs, and another scream came.
Looking at the chaotic situation and heavy casualties on the Tartar side, Li Xian raised his thumb and said: "Captain Zhao, you are really good, you see that the Tartar was beaten by us, but he couldn't fight back, it's really happy." With that, he burst out laughing.
In this way, after twenty tiger squat cannons had been fired once, the remaining 2,500 or so Qing soldiers got on their horses.
"Rush over and kill all these abominable dogs." Duolong Ao shouted as he pointed his sword at the Ming position.
"Boom! Thundered! More than 2,500 Qing troops rode war horses, brandished snow-bright steel knives, and there were bursts of shaking on the ground of the streets.
The large slices of bright sword light, the unstoppable momentum of the cavalry galloping, and the vibration of the ground transmitted a terrifying murderous aura.
"Calm. Don't panic, there's nothing to be afraid of Tartars. Zhao Guohua calmly said to the Ming army participating in the battle, and then said: "Staggered the tiger squat cannons, blocked the road, and the artillery withdrew to the earthen wall." ”
Listening to his orders, more than a hundred artillery units quickly withdrew behind the earthen wall. When more than 100 artillery pieces were safely withdrawn, the Qing cavalry was only about 200 paces away from the Ming army.
Two hundred paces, the cavalry arrived in a few breaths.
Seeing these hateful Ming troops staggered and staggered more than 20 tiger squatting cannons and blocked the road, Duolong Ao and the Qing cavalry had to slow down their horses.
"Commando group, fire." Zhao Guohua ordered.
A hundred commandos opened fire, and more than 100 Qing soldiers who had just stepped out of the tiger cannon fell off their horses amid a burst of gunfire.
Seeing this, the other Qing soldiers hurriedly accelerated their movements, but because of the blockage of the tiger squatting artillery, everyone was afraid of colliding with it, so although they wanted to hurry, they couldn't get up quickly.
In the sound of gunfire, more than 100 Qing troops fell under their horses.
"Dismount and move these small cannons blocking the road." Doron Ao exclaimed angrily. More than 100 Qing troops dismounted and pushed those tiger squat cannons.
"The second group of commandos, aiming at the Tartars who dismounted and pushed the cannons, opened fire. The firecrackers on the house, aim at the Tartars and fire" Zhao Guohua continued to order.
In the sound of gunfire, the Tartars who dismounted and pushed the cannons fell to the ground one after another, and the Tartars who were blocked behind the tiger squatting cannon fell to the ground one by one in the sound of firecracks.
There was a blockade in front and a flanking attack on the left and right, and the 3,000 cavalry soon had only more than 2,300 men.
Looking at the soldiers who fell one by one in the dense gunfire, Duolong Ao, who was hiding among the soldiers, gritted his teeth angrily and said loudly: "Hurry up, these damn Ming dogs, when these small cannons that block the road are removed, Lao Tzu will kill them all over the place." ”
However, under the fire of more than 200 Type 81 automatic rifles, it was so easy to move these barricades, and at the cost of three or four hundred casualties, the small guns blocking the road were finally removed.
"Get on the horse." Dolon Ao said loudly.
The soldiers of the Qing army have been holding back their anger, and they want to slash and kill to vent the anger in their chests, in their opinion, as long as they get on the horse, with their horses, they can completely kill the defenders of Zhuozhou City.
Braving the guns and bullets of the Ming army, the Qing army got on their horses and began to line up, and when they lined up, more than 200 Qing soldiers were killed. Seeing that the Ming army's firearms were so sharp, Duolong Ao's scalp was numb for a while, and he hurriedly shrank behind and ordered: "Rush over and kill them all." ”
"Kill!" The Qing army shouted loudly, rode tall war horses, and rushed over with snowy sabers, "poof, poof......" One by one the war horses fell into the big pit dug in advance.
