Chapter 40: Turning the Tide

Huang Long with the old and weak soldiers to fight bloodily, still there is no trace of reinforcements, the city wall has been lost in several places, seeing more and more Tartars climb the wall, he organized several desperate counterattacks, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, the last group of people also went to the city wall, these people know the consequences of the city break, are fighting to the death.

Unfortunately, these people are untrained and have no armor to protect themselves, and they all rely on instinct to fight with the Tartars, so there are several corpses of the people of Lushun lying next to each Tartar corpse......

The 4,000 defenders of Lushun have been killed and wounded, and only less than 800 people are still struggling to support, and the Tartars have left nearly 4,000 corpses under the city of Lushun, if you add the seriously wounded who have not died for the time being, the Tartars have lost at least about 1,200 people, among which Kong Youde Geng Zhongming's casualties are even heavier, almost the entire army was annihilated, despite the heavy casualties, the Tartars still took turns to attack the city, and Lushun swore not to give up.

From yesterday to today, from the fourth watch to the dawn, from the dawn to noon, Huanglong's body was more than ten wounds, still in the city to call for a fierce battle, the defenders between each battlement are less than two people, Huanglong with more than ten people who can stand back and forth, where there is danger to where to rescue.

Huanglong has already given up the idea of waiting for help, how long can he hold it, it can be regarded as the right heaven and earth, the right one from the Ming Dynasty, and died fighting for the country.

But what Huang Long never expected was that later generations of history books portrayed him as a mediocre and incompetent, greedy villain, until Yang Bo's time, there were still many captive historians who continued to smear him, I wonder if Huang Long heard these comments underground, will he be angry again?

Li Weiluan ran over with a roll, "My lord, my lord!" Caijiakou is lost, and a team of soldiers and horses from the Tartars is coming to the south gate! ”

Huang Long was startled, and the blade in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden......

"If you are attacked on both sides, what can you do?"

Li Weiluan looked at Huanglong with a panicked face, hoping that the adults could give a way, Caijiakou was lost, Zhang Dalu was finished, the reserve team was finished, and Lushun was finished!

Just when Huang Long was hesitating, another sergeant ran over: "My lord, it's not good, a team of Tartars has been killed in the northeast corner of the city!" ”

Li Weiluan grabbed the sergeant and asked sharply, "Fart!" The north gate has always been on my defense, where did the Tartars come from to enter the city? ”

The sergeant cried bitterly: "My lord, the northeast part of the city wall was bombarded by the Hongyi cannon, and the Tartars kept shooting with bows and crossbows outside, and more than 300 people didn't block the gap, and more than 300 people died in the gap, woo woo......"

Huang Long looked at Li Weiluan and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw all the defenders on the city wall and fight in the streets!" ”

Li Weiluan's face turned pale: "My lord, there are less than 800 people in our waiting, and there are only 200 armors left, how can we resist the Tartars rushing and killing if we abandon the city wall?" ”

Huang Long suddenly burst out laughing, Li Weiluan looked at Huang Long with a bloodstained face and a very hideous laugh for some reason.

"It's time!"

Huang Long patted Li Weiluan's shoulder and strode towards the city wall......

As the head began to go west, the bloodied Huanglong leaned against the corner of a wall called the Lujia rice grain store in the city, Li Weiluan and two sergeants were guarding him, in front of them and behind, the sound of killing shook the sky, the screams continued, and they were besieged by the Tartar soldiers......

Without the cover of the city wall, the rout of the defenders was very rapid, and in just half an hour, more than 800 people were driven to the center of the city, and even Huanglong had his thigh cut off. Li Weiluan was anxious in his heart, constantly rubbing his hands and looking ahead, and kept muttering: "Where are the reinforcements?" Why haven't there been reinforcements yet? ”

Huang Long squeezed a smile hard, his dry lips moved, and Li Weiluan hurriedly fell into his ear.

"Reinforcements won't come, this is where we will die, are you afraid of death?"

Li Weiluan was stunned for a moment, threw away the weapon in his hand, and sat beside Huang Long and hung his head silently, he had always regarded reinforcements as a motivation to support himself, although he didn't believe it from the beginning.

At this moment, there was a cheer of Tartars in front of them, and it could be seen that several defenders had discarded their blades and skewered like headless flies into the houses, and the formation of the defenders blocking the street was in chaos......

Huang Long closed his eyes and sighed, and suddenly opened his eyes violently: "Guan, Huang Long was born as the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River of the Ming Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not fall into the hands of the Tartars and lose the dignity of the court. ”

Li Weiluan cried when he heard this, bowed to the ground and said: "If there is no adult to support, the villain is still collecting ginseng in the Dongjiang River, and the adult sacrifices his life for the country. May you die with your followers! ”

Huang Long trembled and picked up a sharp knife: "Yuguan, come, help me find the helmet and put it on."

As soon as Li Weiluan turned around to get the adult's general helmet, Huanglong's horizontal knife was a slash on the neck!

While!

The blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound......

Li Weiluan covered his mouth and didn't dare to cry loudly, he held back his tears and carefully put on the helmet for Huang Long, Huang Long was not dead for a while, and his distracted eyes stared at Li Weiluan.

"Adult"

Li Weiluan wiped away his tears, kowtowed three times and said: "The soul of the adult is not far away, I said that Guan is going to burn the family and come over to accompany the adult on the road!" ”

Huang Long leaned against the corner of the wall and convulsed involuntarily, his eyes became more and more blurred, and the killing cries around him gradually became smaller......

At this moment, a large patch of red suddenly appeared in front of the originally vague front, like red flowers beating?

Isn't that the red tassel on the top of the helmet's head? Huang Long's eyes widened with the last strength of his body, and at the same time exhaled his last......

The pikemen began to attack the Tartars that had landed from Caijiakou like a tide under the banner of the Jimo battalion, and behind them, the sin battalion with the banner of blood took swords and shields to cover the firearms and advanced from the streets on both sides towards the northern city.

By the time they advanced to the street where Huanglong had killed himself, the squad of Tartars on the road had been cleared, and from the south gate to the street, there were more than 30 corpses of Tartars and the corpses of countless Han Banner soldiers lying all the way, and they were stunned by the reinforcements who suddenly came out.

"Fight to win! Conquer!

The pikemen shouted neat slogans, the spears in their hands reflected the cold light, and strode towards the center of the street, the original Tartar was suddenly in the predicament of being attacked from both sides, because the streets were crowded, there was no place to escape, and one of the leaders saw that the situation was not good, and quickly ordered two small Dialku to return with thirty infantry armor to entangle the pikemen, and the Lushun defenders who were besieged in the middle suddenly heard the shouts of killing in all directions, and saw a large number of Ming troops rushing out from behind and suddenly their morale was greatly boosted, The formation, which was about to collapse, stabilized again.

"All the Shandong Jimo Battalion came to help, and the Lushun father and elder killed the slaves with me and others!" An instructor carried a small gong and shouted at both sides of the street while banging on it.

"Kill slaves!"

"Kill slaves!"

The pikemen shouted slogans, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed the lone Han flag tartars to death in the streets......

The house was full of firewood, Li Weiluan held the torch high, hardened his heart not to look at the struggle of his children begging and crying, and said slowly: "Lushun City is broken, instead of falling into the hands of the Tartars and suffering all kinds of torture, it is better to die now!" ”

Madame was tied to a pillar with clothes in her mouth, and she just shook her head with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Li Weiluan suddenly heard the killing shouts outside the door, Li Weiluan's heart trembled, and he strode out of the door, he was stunned for a moment, just outside the courtyard of the Li family, countless Ming troops in iron armor ran in a neat line from Li Weiluan's door and killed in the north of the city!

Seeing a person suddenly rushing out of the courtyard, several pikemen were shocked, and a few spears stabbed at Li Weiluan's body, and the snowy spear head could stop in front of Li Weiluan, because they saw Li Weiluan's bloodstained Ming army armor.

The torch in Li Weiluan's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and he didn't even pay attention to the tip of the spear that was on the front door......

"Reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements have arrived? Have you seen that, my lord? My lord! Reinforcements have arrived, don't die, don't die, my lord! Reinforcements have arrived! Li Weiluan came back to his senses for a long time, and suddenly remembered something like crazy and rushed towards Huanglong's location, even caring about the family.

The arquebus battalion did not hesitate to cross the street and advance towards the north gate, after the street was divided into two groups, they met again in the north of the city in formation, and there were constantly small groups of tartars rushing down on the city wall, and the musketeers had no time to pay attention to them, they were in three rows, the first row knelt, the second row was half-bent, and the third row was standing, and the black pressed fire guns were only facing the tartars in front.

"First Discharge!" Li Dali shouted.

Fluffy~~

A large cloud of smoke suddenly erupted from the position of the first row, and with the sound of fire, several Tartars suddenly stopped their half-rushed footsteps and fell to the ground weakly.

"Ten steps forward in the second row, let's go!"

Disheveled!

"The third row comes forward, the first row is ready!"

Fluffy!

Yes~~

The screams rang out,

One of the marching musketeers was shot in the chest and fell to the ground, and a man from the reserve came up and picked up his musket and filled the gap he had left behind.

The Sin camp held its shield aloft and shielded the firecrackers from the arrows and crossbows shot down from the height of the city wall, and when it advanced to the urn city, the Sin camp suddenly changed its banner and divided into two teams to attack the city wall.

Whether it was the Tartars who were fighting in the city or the Tartars outside the city who were blinded by this sudden reinforcement, when they came to their senses, they were stunned to find that the north gate, which they had managed to control in their hands, was suddenly in danger of being lost!

"Hurry up and clean up these things and open the door!"

A Niu Lu Zhangjing was anxiously rubbing his hands under the north gate and turning around, just now there was a Ka Shi Lian running over to report, saying that a team of Ming army reinforcements suddenly came to the south gate, and the banner covered the sky and said that I don't know how many people and horses, the situation of the Fen Pai Shiku that landed from Caijiakou is very critical, and I am afraid that it will not last long under the attack from both sides!

That Niu Lu Jingzhang pondered for a moment, and sent ten white swing tooth lamas with thirty step armors, thinking about it, he sent ten more red armors, and told them to stick to the time when the north gate opened, even if they died, they had to die until the north gate opened!

The leader Bai Swing Tooth Lama snorted coldly in his heart, pulled the double armor on his body, and led the team to stride towards the city......

The circumference of Lushun South City is one mile and three hundred steps, the pool is one zhang and two feet deep, two feet and five feet wide, open two gates, the south gate is called Tongjin, and the north gate is called Renhe.

The Tartars outside the gate are still desperately digging the gap in the northeast corner, and the Tartars in the city are desperately cleaning up the stone obstacles blocking the north gate......

Niu Lu Jingzhang was anxious, seeing the stones that were high on the city wall, and he didn't know when he could finish it, and at that moment he saw a sergeant with a Han flag beside him out of the corner of his eye, and the nameless fire in his heart suddenly attacked, and he stepped forward and scolded: "You Han dog hasn't eaten?" It's just lazy, what's the use of you? ”

The Han Banner sergeant moved his hands with blood, Niu Lu Jingzhang just didn't see it, slaughtered the Han Flag sergeant with a knife, and said sharply: "If you don't work hard to carry it, this Han dog is a role model!" ”

After speaking, the head of the Han Banner sergeant was thrown at everyone's feet, and some of the Dongjiang people under Kong Youde around him did not dare to make a sound, and they all rushed to the stones, lest they fall behind others.

Fu Ling'a walked slowly with a few white swing teeth and all the foot armor, there was still a sound of killing in the city, he was a little dissatisfied with Niu Lu Jingzhang's caution, what was the matter with the late opening of the north gate? Aren't there enough warriors entering the city, and without the protection of the city walls, what if those cowardly Han dogs are all in a flock?

At this moment, Fu Ling's eyes suddenly tightened, he stretched out his hand to make a stop movement, the white swing tooth and the infantry behind him stopped, and a group of Ming soldiers appeared in front of them, and several Han dogs from the Kong Youde Department ran towards them in despair, while screaming loudly.

Fu Ling'a clenched his bow and arrows, and carefully looked at this group of Ming soldiers, these Ming soldiers were covered in red cotton armor, with iron pieces inlaid on them, and copper nails, all wearing Ming helmets, and the red tassels on the top of their heads were shaking, like a sea of red.

Bang bang bang!

The first row of Ming troops on the opposite side suddenly emitted a puff of smoke, and several Han Banner sergeants who had turned around and fled turned to the sky with their hands to the sky, twisted a few steps like drunks and fell to the ground.

Fu Ling'a frowned, the firearms of this Ming army seemed to be very dense, and he had never seen the soldiers of the Ming army use firearms like this.

At this moment, a Han Banner sergeant seemed to see this group of white tooth lamen, and he shouted words that everyone could not understand, and rushed towards Fu Linga and them in a panic.

Fu Ling'a snorted, and a white swing tooth behind him stepped forward and stabbed the knife, and the Han Qi looked at the long knife that pierced his chest in disbelief, and he called a few words in his mouth, and then his head was softly tilted to the side, and he died.

Bai Swing raised his foot in disgust, kicked the lower abdomen of the Han Banner sergeant, and kicked his body out, and at this moment, the Ming army on the opposite side approached a lot, and the two teams of men and horses met head-on at the street entrance.

Fu Ling'a asked lightly, "How many steps?" ”

"Seventy steps up and down!" The white tooth replied

Fu Ling'a slowly filled the bow and arrow in his hand, but he couldn't trigger it, pointed to a person in the Ming army and said, "Who is betting with me?" I'm going to shoot the chest of the third guy in the first row from the left! ”

A few white swing teeth behind him replied: "Bet with you, Lao Tzu's pants will be lost, hurry up, we are going to charge!" ”

It is the norm for the white armor soldiers to wear double layers of iron armor, and it is very easy to wear three layers of iron armor, and it is difficult for the inferior firearms commonly used by the Ming army to penetrate the iron armor on the bodies of these white swing teeth, so they don't care about the threat of this group of fire armor soldiers at all, just wait for Fu Ling Aliwei to rush into the formation and kill, just now they respected their identity, just watched from a distance as the infantry soldiers surrounded and annihilated the last Ming army in the city, and they became interested after hearing that a reinforcement of the Ming army came.

Fu Linga smiled rudely: "It's really hard to earn a little money from you......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bow made a dull sound, and a crossbow flew towards the soldiers on the left and third in the first row of the Ming army.

Brush!

Zhongbai looked at the castration of the crossbow arrows intently, the crossbow arrows did not shoot the chest of the three Han dogs on the left, but the red tassels on the top of the Han dog's helmet were broken, everyone was "Ah" with an exclamation, admiring Fu Ling's archery skills, seventy steps to shoot the chest is not uncommon, shooting the red tassel is the real ability!

"Hurry up and cut down these Han dogs, everyone!" Seeing that Fu Ling'a picked up the bow and arrow again, they didn't have much patience to continue watching him perform, Fu Ling'a laughed, inserted the bow and arrow back into the quiver, and took the long-handled tiger tooth blade handed over by a step armor behind him......

The arquebus battalion was startled by the sudden rush of Tartars, which were in a tight formation, and the armor of the first few men was dazzling like mercury under the reflection of the firelight, and these men were holding various heavy blades in their hands, and they were shouting slogans feverishly, and in a moment they ran in front of them.

With the rapid advancement of the arquebus battalion, the dumb fire rate of the fire gun in the hand is getting higher and higher, after all, actual combat is not training, anyone who sees the arrow feathers flying all over the sky will be nervous, not to mention that they are wearing cotton armor, and the ground arrow feathers have no defense at all,,

Although they have undergone very brutal discipline training, they are able to maintain their formation in battle without falling apart, but general mistakes are inevitable......

For example: a nervous, three iron pieces are stuffed into the pipe,

For example: once nervous, the gunpowder forgot to put or put it twice,

Another example: I was nervous and forgot to take out the whole strip to clean the pipe......

Li Dali saw that it was impossible for the three platoons to fire without interruption, so he could only shrink the column and arrange it into four platoons to barely maintain uninterrupted firing, but the firecrackers behind him were sweating profusely and could not replenish them.

"The third row aims, the first row prepares!" Li vigorously brandished his long knife and pointed at the tartar and drank.

The white swing tooth that killed the Han Banner sergeant rushed to the front, the long-handled axe in his hand reflected the cold light, and swayed rhythmically with the running of his body.

Thirty steps......

Twenty Steps......

It's almost there!

At this moment, the eighteen firecrackers who were half-kneeling in front of the formation suddenly opened fire together, and the white smoke rising into the air suddenly completely enveloped their figures.

Bang bang bang ~~~

The momentum of Bai Swing Tooth Lama rushing forward was suddenly stopped by the two huge impacts on the lower abdomen and waist, he twisted half a circle in mid-air, staggered a few steps to stabilize his body, and soon, a sharp pain swept through his whole body!

The white tooth horn was horrified to see that the iron armor on his waist and lower abdomen was deeply dented, and the depression was almost the size of two bowls, and the huge impact not only penetrated the three layers of iron armor, but also shattered his internal organs!

The white swing tooth spat out blood and fell down, and he saw a bunch of people around him before the servant street, all of whom were rushing to the front!

The smoke fired by the third row of firecrackers had not yet dissipated, and the first row slowly stepped forward, showing a fiery red figure from the smoke, and they walked ten steps and squatted down, the muzzle of the black hole hole aimed at the red armor behind them!

Fu Ling's teeth were almost crushed, he hated himself for being careless, he didn't expect that the fire guns of these Han dogs were so powerful that they could penetrate three layers of iron armor?

What made him even more heartbroken was that these thousands of selected white swing brothers, before they had a chance to show their abilities, they were killed by despicable Han dogs!

"Follow me! It takes time to fill the firearms of the Han dog and avenge the brothers! Fu Linga brandished the eight-pound tiger tooth knife, covered his head and rushed towards the fire gun......

Bang bang ~~~~

Li Dali waved his knife with satisfaction and continued to shout: "The second row advances ten steps, and the first row is ready!" ”

Bang bang ~~~~

When the smoke cleared, more than a dozen pikemen rushed out of the ranks and stabbed at the Tartars who were still howling on the ground......

Li Dali, who was walking, accidentally stepped on a soft corpse, almost throwing him into a dog and eating, Li Dali suddenly leaned down in anger, and after looking at it for a long time, he saw that it turned out to be a stupid Tartar, this Tartar was dressed in white armor, and the silver light was very good-looking, but unfortunately there were three or four big holes in the chest, and the black blood gushing out soaked the white armor.

"Grass your mother's pig tail, Lao Tzu's glorious image was almost destroyed for you, how can you let Lao Tzu lead troops in the future, huh?" Li took a big sip and raised his iron mesh boots to face the pig's tail.

"The North Gate has arrived!"

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers in the procession......;
