After a few glances, he put down the binoculars, nodded and said, "It's these dogs who are greedy for life and afraid of death and have forgotten their ancestors.

Shaking his head, Zhao Guohua said: "No, I want to accept them, I believe that only a small part of them sincerely surrendered to the Tartars." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After looking at him and thinking about it for a while, Li Xian said, "Okay, what are you going to do." ”

"This ......," Mr. Zhao said.

"Okay, I'll go and set it up." Li Xian said, and went to arrange.

He Bizhong commanded more than 3,000 Ming troops to approach Zhuozhou, and when he walked into the range of the defenders' bows and arrows, he hurriedly said: "Raise your shield!" Protect yourself. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of bangs at the head of the city, "whoosh", and hundreds of sharp arrows came with the sound of the wind, but most of them were shot at the shields, and some were shot into the open ground, and the soldiers who were shot were very small.

Seeing this situation, why bother to be overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Damn, the defenders' archery is too bad, this burst of shooting down, none of Lao Tzu's soldiers were killed, it seems that the level of the officers and soldiers defending the city is too poor, and it is time for Lao Tzu to make meritorious contributions." ”

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Brothers, rush to the city, this first credit for capturing Zhuozhou is ours, hurry up and rush ......" He shouted, and took the lead in rushing to the city wall.

"The tartars are here, hurry up and roll the wooden lime bottle." The defenders on the tower shouted loudly, throwing down a few rolling logs and ash bottles, and some stones

However, none of these things hit the Ming army under the city, because these people had not yet rushed to the city.

Glancing at the distance between his subordinates and the city wall, there were still more than ten steps to reach the city wall, He Bizhong couldn't help but laugh for a while, this guard was too timid.

In order to make an appearance for Yanguli, who was watching the battle from a distance, he still ran forward and backward under the city with his troops, and from a distance, it looked like he was dodging the rolling wooden stones thrown from the city.

Looking at it from a distance, Yanguli nodded slightly and said, "This surnamed He is quite hard at fighting." ”

"There's no more rolling wood and stones, go to the city and move it." The defenders of the city said in a panic.

I heard that there were no rolling logs and stones in the city, and the morale of the troops under the city was greatly boosted, and they ran over, and more than a dozen cloud ladders were set up on the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up with knives in one hand and the other.

"Run, the Tartars are coming, and you'll die if it's late." The defenders shouted in panic and fled to both sides of the tower.

Listening to the shouts of the defenders, the soldiers couldn't help but be even more excited, and climbed faster.

Looking at his subordinates who were quickly climbing on the ladder, He Bizhong was very happy, he had long forgotten the last time the Mongol soldiers were defeated on the city wall.

Soon, 3,000 troops descended on the city walls.

Standing on the city wall, He Bizhong looked at the Ming army who had fled only the back, and he was about to command the soldiers to go down and open the city gate, when thousands of soldiers in black and blue clothes, armed with firearms and some Ming troops, surrounded from both sides of the city tower, it seemed that there were six or seven thousand people.

"Fooled, quickly line up and prepare for battle, and in addition, quickly send someone down for help." Why bother to give orders.

After listening to the order, several Ming soldiers descended on the ladder and were about to go down.

"Stop! Otherwise, there will be no mercy. Zhao Guohua shouted in the distance.

Seeing that the other party still had forty or fifty steps, these few soldiers standing on the ladder did not think so, and continued to walk down.

A few gunshots rang out, and the people on the ladder tumbled down the ladder.

He Bizhong walked to the city wall and saw that all those people were lying motionless on the ground, obviously dead.

Seeing that the opponent's firearm was so sharp, he hurriedly retracted into the formation.

The defenders of Zhuozhou surrounded it, and when they reached a place not too far from the two sides, they stood still.

Glancing at these Ming troops, Zhao Guohua shouted with a calm face: "Who is the head?" Stand up. ”。

There was a commotion in the ranks, but no one stepped forward.

"Brothers on the other side, I know that you were forced to surrender to the Tartars, and if you are willing to return to Daming anyway, we will not be guilty of the past. If you are willing to do it anyway, throw down the knife and gun, and squat down with your head in your hands. I counted from one to ten, and then everyone who stood was killed. Zhao Guohua said coldly.

Hearing this, the Ming army hesitated, but no one squatted

"Raise your gun, take aim. One...... Two...... Three......" Zhao Guohua reported the numbers slowly and loudly.

Looking at the firecrackers like a forest, and listening to this urging number, the body of the Ming army trembled, as if he heard the footsteps of the king of Hades.

“…… Seven...... Eight...... Nine ......"

The Ming soldiers could no longer stand the pressure, they threw down their swords and guns, and squatted down with their heads hula.

The two or three hundred Ming troops who were still standing were particularly prominent, and almost all of these people were He Bizhong's family members.

Glancing coldly, Zhao Guohua asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

After a moment's hesitation, another twenty or so people still put down their knives and guns, and squatted their heads.

"****, you shoot, Lao Tzu doesn't shoot to death." He Bizhong shouted loudly. It's not that he doesn't want to surrender, it's just that he did a lot of bad things after surrendering to the Qing army, in order to show loyalty to the Tartars, he killed a lot of Ming people with his own hands, and also raped and killed the daughter of a Ming official.

He was afraid that Hou would be settled by the Autumn Queen anyway, and he didn't believe that Zhuozhou could withstand the attack of the Tartar army, he thought to himself that if he didn't surrender, he would die, and after surrendering, the Tartars would have to die if they broke through Zhuozhou, and it was better to be tough.

Glancing at him and the two or three hundred Ming troops with disdain, Zhao Guohua said: "Kill all ......"

"Papapa......" There was a short and rapid gunshot, and all these Ming troops who were unwilling to go right for various reasons were shot.

Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, the Ming army who was squatting with his head in his hands surrendered, and secretly congratulated himself on the choice just now.

"You guys, get these bodies down." Zhao Guohua pointed to the Ming army that came over anyway and said coldly.

The surrenderers did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly carried the corpses.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and it was quickly completed.

Looking at the shaved heads and pigtails at the back of the Ming army, he ordered them to cut off the braids in disgust.

After cutting the rattails, the more than 2,700 Ming troops who had come over anyway were reduced to five squadrons and ten squadrons, and fifteen deputy squad leaders of the volunteer brigade were sent to serve as squadron leaders and squad leaders.

After doing these things, this Ming army became an auxiliary army responsible for carrying materials to defend the city.

Seeing that there was no movement after the Ming army surrendered to the city wall, Yanguli was puzzled, and then he heard a crisp sound of fire, and he knew that those Ming troops were finished again.

Glancing at the city walls of Zhuozhou, he went back to the camp with a gloomy face.

After returning to the camp, Yanguli gathered the generals in the camp to discuss the method of attacking Zhuozhou.

Twice on the city wall were annihilated, Yanguli planned to draw three Niu Lu from the Zheng Red Flag, the Zheng Blue Flag, the inlaid white flag, and the inlaid Blue Flag, a total of 12 Niu Lu 3,600 people, led by Duolong Ao, as the first wave of siege echelon, Duolong Ao proposed a plan, bombarded the city wall with the cannon of Wuzhen Chaoha, and after the city wall collapsed, the army entered in one fell swoop and took advantage of the situation to take Zhuozhou.

After thinking about it carefully, Yanguli also felt that the method that Duolong Ao said was feasible, and indeed, from the bottom of his heart, he was also afraid that these 3,600 Manchurian warriors would not be able to come back after they went to the city wall.

Soon, a solid cannonball flew towards the east gate with huge kinetic energy, hitting the city wall and causing the bricks and clods to fall straight down.

"Guohua, why did this Tartar's shell hit the east gate?" Li Xian asked puzzled.

After observing the heavy artillery positions of the Qing army with a telescope, Zhao Guohua said: "It seems that the Qing army wants to break the East City Gate and rush in from there." ”

"Don't be afraid, the four gates are also blocked by us, they just broke the city gates, and they can't get in at once." Li Xian said.

Zhao Guohua nodded in agreement, and then the two of them came to Sun Youde's blacksmith shop

Seeing the two coming, Sun Youde hurriedly shouted: "Come on, serve two cups of good tea for the two adults." Saying that, he greeted him, and said with a smile: "Two adults, the villain is polite" and said, bowing to the two.

"Master Sun, Master Li and I came over to see how many triangular nails were made.!" Zhao Guohua asked

After giving a salute, Sun Youde said: "Two adults, now they are only making about 5,000 pieces, which is far from 30,000. ”

"Bring these five thousand, and we'll use them today." Zhao Guohua said.

Hearing this, Sun Youde's apprentice Niu Er brought the finished things. Soon, Niu Er and a person came out with a large basket on a flat shoulder.

The two walked over and took a closer look, the triangular nails were the size of broad beans, with four spikes, and after touching the spikes, Zhao Guohua nodded, put these triangular nails into a pocket, and asked Niu Er to find a trolley to push into the barracks.

When they arrived at the barracks, they sent people to evacuate all the people in the three streets near the east city gate, sealed the doors with sandbags, and dug several large pits in the two streets in succession, so that people and horses could not pass, and only one road in the middle was passable. The road was sprinkled with dirt, and in front of the road there were several earthen walls more than half a man high with sacks, and behind the earthen walls and on the houses on both sides of the street, there were ambushes of firefighters, and tiger squatting cannons were erected in front of the earthen walls.

The tiger squatted in front of the cannon and dug several large pits in the back, put lime powder in the big pit, and used bamboo to support the straw mat on the big pit, and spread a thin layer of soil on the straw mat.

After doing this, more than 100 planks were collected.

"Captain Zhao, what are you doing with these planks? Arrow proof? Li Xian asked with a smile.

With a mysterious smile, Zhao Guohua said: "Soon, you will know." ”
