Chapter 1023: Fire Descends from Heaven
readx; "Hu Zha, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, haven't you seen so many 'Mongolian' ancient warriors die in battle!" While 'whipping' Tong Yangzhen with a horsewhip, Ulan scolded loudly in the ancient 'Mongolian' language, "If you don't storm again, I will cut off your head with my own hands and let the Great Khan punish your entire family as slaves!" ”
Don't look at Tong Yangzhen commanding in front of the banner soldiers of the Han army, but in front of Ulan's horse, he was like a third grandson, the horsewhip was waved, and he didn't even dare to hide, and a few blood purlins were immediately 'pumped' out of the 'door' of the big bald brain.

In fact, Tong Yangzhen is the commander of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, and Ulan is the leader of the Yellow Banner of the 'Mongolian' Gumosa, and the positions of the two are theoretically equal, and Tong Yangzhen surrendered to the 'female' real person earlier than Ulan, and he is much older. In this siege, Huang Taiji's arrangement was also for Tong Yangzhen, Shi Tingzhu, and Ulan to jointly command, and Ulan had no power to dispose of Tong Yangzhen.
However, although the Manchu and Mongolian are not homologous, they are all northern nomadic peoples, and they have a natural affinity for the 'sex' in customs and culture. In the early days of Jianzhou's 'Jur' Zhen, the tribal chieftain Meng's brother Timur took an ancient name of 'Mongolian', and then the 'Nu' Zhenren also had many ancient names of 'Mongolian', such as Amin and Zilharang were all 'Mongolian' ancient names.
Although the Manchu and Mongolian tribes also continued to attack each other, the common interests of the two sides far outweighed their differences in the southern invasion of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the huge size and large population of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a 'female' real person or a 'Mongolian' ancient, relying on their own strength to attack the Ming, they all feel that they have no bottom in their hearts. In particular, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are both scheming masters, and they have long set the national policy of uniting with Mongolia to invade Ming. As long as the ancient tribes of the 'Meng' were willing to submit to themselves, they would 'induce' them to work for themselves with a large amount of land, money and grain, and 'women' and 'women', of course, all of which had to be robbed from the Han people.
In order to consolidate the Manchurian and Mongolian alliances, the two sides also married widely, such as Huang Taiji's empress Zhezhe and concubine Da 'Yu'er, both from the 'Mongolian' ancient Korqin department. This Ulan is from the Horqin Department, and is naturally looked at by Huang Taiji.
The Han military banner was completely different, and the Manchu rulers did not treat them as human beings at all, at most as 'gatekeeper' dogs. If there is any leftovers, you might as well let them eat a bite, the purpose is to let them continue to act as eagle dogs for themselves. A Han 'traitor' general like Tong Yangzhen, who has served the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years and has made outstanding military achievements, is just a small commander, even if he is an ordinary 'female' real soldier, if he is not pleasing to the eye, he can be reprimanded.
Therefore, Tong Yangzhen was whipped by Ulan, and he knew in his heart that Ulan was looking for trouble, and it was not him who the Ming army would beat or not, and Tong Yangzhen had the final say. But he didn't dare to speak, so he turned to his subordinates, and urged them to speed up towards the city gate. Shi Tingzhu secretly rejoiced on the side, and hurriedly led the army to attack, otherwise Ulan might not 'whip' with a whip next time, but cut with a knife.
At this time, most of the banner soldiers of the Han army had passed through the "mouth", and they were less than fifty steps away from the city wall. They immediately relied on five chariots to form five large phalanxes and 'shoot' at the head of the city.
Not only can the bow and arrow not be able to 'shoot' through, but even the lead bullet of the bird can only break a small piece, and the defensive effect is still obvious. It was not so easy for the Ming army to suppress the archers of the Qing army, and for a time the arrows rained down in the air, and although the Ming army had a condescending advantage, it had to erect a shield to resist the arrows.
The rest of the Qing infantry took advantage of the cover of the archers and quickly rushed to the front of the earthen platform. This time, the Ming army did not hide and tucked away, and hundreds of bird-gunners opened fire on the Qing army early through the 'shooting' hole. The soldiers of the Han army banner were driven into a very dense formation by the 'Meng' ancients, and the bird gunners did not need to aim at all, as long as they were loaded with bullet 'medicine', they would basically hit the shot, and they would also hit the 'legs'. In an instant, a large number of Qing soldiers were shot in the legs and fell in pools of blood screaming.
Taking advantage of the gap between the bird's gun, the Qing army rushed to the earth platform at the risk of death. They originally wanted to attack the Ming army in the fortifications, but except for the narrow 'shooting' holes, the front, back, and upper sides of the fortifications were all made of stones, which were extremely hard, and they could not open them in a hurry, let alone attack them.
In desperation, the Qing army had to drop a large number of dirt bags according to the original plan to block the 'shooting' hole from the outside. If they are not all blocked, the Qing army will never dare to build ladders to attack the city again, and they don't want to taste the taste of 'flowers' on the ass again!
And they patronize the busy feet, but ignore the threat from overhead. However, the bird-stalkers and archers at the head of the city did not miss this opportunity, and immediately concentrated their firepower and 'fired' at the earthen platform together. Due to the advantage of height, the shield bearer at the head of the city can extend his shield a little forward from the city wall to block arrows. The Ming army took advantage of the gap between the shield and the city wall, which was just right to 'shoot' to hit the earthen platform. The location of the fortifications was originally designed with this situation in mind, and after many drills by the Ming army, it was really handy to shoot at this time, and sharp arrows and lead bullets rained down!
In this way, these Qing troops have become live targets without any suspense. It didn't take long for a wall of blood to become near the earthen platform!
However, the Qing army relied on the large number of people, but still rushed over the earthen platform and pasted the city wall, randomly erected a long ladder and began to attack the city. The three ministers who were watching the battle at the head of the city were frightened, and desperately persuaded Zhu Youzhen to go down to the city immediately to take refuge no matter what, and complained about Xie Sheng: "If you don't use so many cannons, won't you delay the fighter!" Once the city is broken, it will be too late to regret it! ”
Zhu Youzhen sank his face and said: "With me sitting here, the soldiers will fight to the death and never retreat, and I will never retreat!" And didn't I sit in the middle of the tower, the doors and windows were sealed with wooden boards, and the stray arrows couldn't come in, so what was there to be afraid of? Don't interfere with the command of Xie Sheng, the battle situation is still expected, and you will naturally use the cannon when it is time to use it! ”
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen did not leave, the three ministers had to stay in the city tower with him in fear. Han Yi and Li Biao also took out their swords, seeing what it meant, once the Qing army attacked the city, these two old men would have to sacrifice their lives to protect them. Zhu Youzhen was angry and funny when he saw it: "What are you two doing, you still need to do it?" Don't sit down yet! ”
"But the siege of the city is very urgent, and they are about to climb to the top of the city!" The three ministers said in unison.
Zhu Youzhen smiled sinisterly: "It turns out that you are worried about this. It doesn't matter, these guys are going to be finished soon. It's just that it doesn't smell good for a while, so you'll have to endure it. ”
When the three of them were inexplicable, they only heard Zhou Yang outside the city tower suddenly shouting: "Sapper, pour oil!" ”
At the sound of the order, all the birdmen, archers, and pikemen immediately retreated, and hundreds of sappers carried a cauldron every two people, aiming at a large number of Qing troops who were climbing up the city, and fell down with their heads and faces.
Before these traitors could react, countless burning torches had already fallen from the sky!
