Chapter 41: The Battle of the North Gate

Yang Bo held a clairvoyant mirror, nervously paying attention to the battle situation at the street entrance, several guards around him raised heavy shields to protect them, and six small bows and arrows, vigilantly looking at any suspicious situation.

"What's going on? The streets can't be beaten down for a long time, and the north gate still needs them reinforcements, what is Liu Manzi doing to eat? Yang Bo saw that the pikemen were progressing too slowly, so he rubbed his hands in a hurry.

At this moment, a pond horse galloped over, and when he saw Yang Bo, he quickly rolled off his horse and said: "My lord, the arquebus battalion has advanced to the north gate and is fighting with the Tartars, but there is a big gap in the northeast corner of the city, and the Tartars are constantly pouring in reinforcements from there. ”

Yang Bo was anxious when he heard this, but now he didn't have the extra manpower to plug the gap, thinking of this, he looked back at the team that followed him.

"My lord, why don't you let us go?" Xiao Liu stepped forward and asked

Yang Bo shook his head, it was best to use firecrackers to defend the gap, but I heard that the firecrackers met the enemy at the north gate, and the pikemen were slow to vacate, and the sin camp was still cleaning the tartars on the city wall, so they could only send the reserves

Yang Bo thought for a while, and said to Hu Mazi behind him: "You and the Jiading team went to defend the northeast gap, now the situation is extremely critical, the arquebus battalion must first clear out the enemy troops at the north gate, there is no way to support you, otherwise as soon as the north gate is broken, we will be dumplings by Tartars, so no matter how many of you die, you must plug the gap in the northeast corner for me, and you are not allowed to let a soldier enter the city!" ”

Hu Mazi didn't dare to say more, and beckoned the sword and shield soldiers and the family team behind him to hurry away, Yang Bo was not at ease, and chased after Xiao Liu's back and shouted: "Xiao Liu, just hold the gap and wait for help, don't take a step out of the city wall, be careful of the arrows and crossbows and artillery of the Tartars!" ”

Xiao Liu, who was galloping, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, signaling that he had heard......

At this moment, there was a jubilant sound at the street in front of them, the pikemen finally broke through the siege of the Tartars, and joined the defenders in the middle, the two teams of men and horses rushed towards the Tartars on the other side again, where they passed, the two small Paku were covered in five or six blood holes, and collapsed on the side of the street in a terrible death, and the other infantry Han banners fell to the ground horizontally, almost blocking the narrow streets, and the two teams of Pashiku fought and retreated, he waved his long knife and panted and looked around, But he was stunned to find that there were only a dozen people around him following him, all of them embarrassed, and their eyes were full of horror.

In front of him, the pikemen in heavy armor pressed up tightly, such as the spears of the forest flashed the cold light of death, in this narrow terrain, personal bravery was useless, those who dared to rush up were stabbed into hedgehogs, and they were divided into a group of scattered defenders with swords, guns and clubs, and also pressed up to them silently, these defenders were very young and strong, and there was no armor, most of them were gray-haired old men and children, but they held weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of hatred and bloodlust.

"Lord Chahatai, rush?" A step armor urged him with an anxious face

Fende Pashku shook his head slowly, he knew that these people were unable to escape: "You guys rush, I'll cut you off!" ”

Only a moment later, this share of the corpse in front of the desperate glance of the corpse, there are infantry armor and defenders, has always disdained the combat effectiveness of the Han dog, Master Divide the weight of the duck now finally understands, it turns out that the cowardly Han dog can bite the elite Eight Banners infantry armor with his teeth.

The uniform footsteps behind him beat his heart like a drumbeat of urgency, and he sighed and put the knife on his neck......

Yang Bo, escorted by his personal guards, followed the pikemen all the way forward, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a bloodstained Ming army general sitting there in a daze under the corner of the roadside holding a person in the costume of a general soldier.

Yang Bo rushed over in shock, and Li Weiluan smiled miserably: "Lord Yang? Why is it too late......"

Yang Bo looked at Huang Long, who had already died, and bowed a few times with shame on his face: "Yesterday, the wind direction on the sea changed abruptly, so that the rescue of the Jimo camp was late, and he lost his trust in the general army, and he lost his mind forever by losing one step, and made a big mistake, and Yang Bo regretted it excessive......ly."

Li Weiluan saw that Yang Bo was remorseful, and he couldn't help it, but said a few words of relief.

Yang Bo sat down, took Huanglong's body in his arms, and asked about the past few days of guarding Lushun, Li Weiluan said that at the last moment, Huanglong was unwilling to be humiliated, and resolutely pulled out his knife to kill himself, he couldn't help but feel sad and cried.

"Little Wu, you go find a Taishi chair"

Yang Bo held back the grief in his heart, and said to Xiao Wu with a calm face: "Let Lord Huang's body sit upright, and I will carry the chair for the adult."

When Li Weiluan heard this, he cried loudly.

Yang Bo said coldly: "Lord Li, you are crying here from morning to night, can you cry Tartar to death?" ”

Li Weiluan was stunned for a moment, wiped his tears violently, and there was faint anger on his face.

"The northeast of the city wall is broken, the north gate is in danger of opening from time to time, and the cloud ladders at the head of the city continue to pour into the tartars, does Lord Li still have the leisure to cry here?"

Seeing Li Weiluan silent, Yang Bo said again: "We need to work together, inherit the will of the adults, and stick to Lushun, what do you think?" ”

Li Weiluan said loudly: "What does Lord Yang say, but it is okay to say that Guan is not a person who does not know the importance of it. ”

Yang Bo nodded: "There are still more than 100 remnants of the Dongjiang River in Lushun, and Lord Li has gathered them together to help me defend the city."

"Good!" Li Weiluan grabbed the blade, ran two steps and ran back and asked, "My lord, he?" ”

"Your Excellency's heroic soul is not far away, and you sit on the Taishi's chair and watch us and others fight to kill slaves, so as to comfort your lord's spirit in the sky......"

The sentry cavalry continued to pass back the battle situation in front, Yang Bo calmly faced, and the three guards carried the stool legs of the Taishi chair, and walked slowly towards the north gate, along the way, the remnants of the defenders who were fighting saw Yang Bo personally helping the spirit to supervise the battle, and the sorrow was accumulated in his heart, and for a time he was like a mad tiger, forcing the elite Tartars who were blocking in front of him to retreat again and again.

The spear battalion was not afraid of the sword and axe, and the help of the life-threatening fight, and suddenly the morale was greatly boosted, and the more than 300 Tartar formations blocked in the north street began to loosen, first the Han Banner Army collapsed, they rushed towards the north gate in embarrassment, and even the formation with the Tartars was scattered, and the panic infected more people, even the faces of the Tartar soldiers who had been in battle for a long time were hesitant and fearful, and even those selected white-armored soldiers were no exception.

"The Mourning Soldiers Will Win"

Yang Bo secretly thought a few words in his heart, but there was no joy on his face, only by completely eating the Tartar at the North Gate could Lushun be considered temporarily safe.

The casualties of the fire soldiers are very serious, without the protection of shields, their cotton armor can not resist the crossbow arrows of the Tartars, but the casualties are more serious is the sin barracks, they are on the city wall and the Tartars who are constantly climbing up the white-knuckle battle, the sin camp has no numerical advantage, can only take back the lost battlements one by one by bloody battles, Yang Bo walked from the south of the city to the north of the city, he received the news that the sin camp suffered more than 30 casualties, this is the veteran even a hundred years of old bandits, the loss of one made Yang Bo's heart ache for a long time, But there was nothing he could do.

Under the city gate of the north gate, Niu Lu Zhangjing had already stopped the soldiers who had cleared the obstacles, they lined up in formation, the Han army flag was on the left, they were on the right, and slowly retreated towards the northeast corner, and along the way there were constantly routs rushing towards them. The Han army flag was almost lost, I heard that the leader of the army died in Nanjie, and there were more than 300 Han flag soldiers who saw that the situation was not good and surrendered to the Ming army, Niu Lu Jingzhang judged the situation in front of him and knew that there was no way to open the north gate for the time being.

A group of Ming troops with firearms in front has pressed over, and in the distance, a team of pikemen in full armor is also rushing towards here, and there have been no soldiers on the city wall for a long time to reinforce them......

At this moment, the rout brought back the news that the army had been killed, more than 130 soldiers, and more than 80 auxiliaries had been wiped out, Niu Lu Jingzhang and several officers looked at each other, and a feeling of horror swelled in their hearts.

Niu Lu Jingzhang held his big sword high and shouted at the people who were lining up behind him: "Warriors, the cowardly Han Dog has come with reinforcements, a large number of reinforcements, we are trapped here, will our warriors be afraid of their large numbers?" ”

Several white-armored soldiers waved their swords and axes and echoed loudly: "Don't be afraid! No matter how many Han dogs come, don't be afraid! ”

Niu Lu Jingzhang walked to the side of the sparse formation of the Han Banner Army, reached out and grabbed the newly shaved braid of a Han Banner sergeant, and pulled him to look up at the sky, and the rest of the Han Banner Army were silent and did not dare to speak.

"It's these dogs who drag down our warriors, what will they do but mutiny and loot gold and silver?"

At this moment, the people who were deeply dissatisfied with the Han Banner Army raised their swords and shouted: "Kill him, kill these Han dogs!" ”

In the face of the Han Banner Army, Niu Lu Jingzhang chopped off the head of the Han Banner sergeant with a knife, he held the head of the braid and held it high to signal to everyone, the Tartars were passionate, howling and cheering each other, at this time, they still did not believe that they would fold in this small Lushun City.

Niu Lu Jingzhang demonstration has ended, began to distribute one by one, for the threat of the fire soldiers, he arranged for the remnants of the Han Banner Army more than 200 people, under the leadership of a few red armor ready to rush into battle, the other was assigned to the Shiku to lead 20 white armor, more than 60 infantry armor followed behind the Han Banner Army, at any time to cover the kill, and he personally led more than 200 soldiers to resist the pikemen.

After everyone received the order, Niu Lu Jingzhang roared and rushed towards the pikemen under the cover of several heavy shields......

Niu Lu Jingzhang has been fighting for many years, his judgment of the battlefield situation is very accurate, he is not a fool, he will never hit the spear formation, what he needs is to wander around the pikemen, the impact of the pikemen in front of him is very strong, but the wings are inconvenient to turn, he just needs to drag the pikemen to death, and wait for the Han Banner Army and the elite led by Paishku to defeat the firecrackers, then the remaining pikemen will be victorious.

He knew that Lord Niu Lu Jingzhang had left the most difficult task to himself, and the sooner he killed this Ming army, the casualties on the side of the adults would be smaller.

Li vigorously commanded the arquebus battalion to march all the way, and did not encounter too many obstacles along the way, until under the north gate, a team of men and horses suddenly blocked in front of them.

"Stop!" Li vigorously held the big knife high

"The first row is moving slowly, the second row is preparing, and the third row is checking the fire guns and reporting the distance!"

"One hundred and twenty steps!" An observer replied

"Forward. No fire is allowed without an order! Li vigorously waved his knife, and the fire gun barracks began to move slowly forward again.

Four red armors rushed to the front with the Han Banner Army, and when they saw the enemy facing them, one of them brandished a long-handled tiger tooth knife and shouted: "Rush forward!" ”

The Han Banner Army regained their courage and began to charge, although they knew that they were just cannon fodder to fend off firearms, but the Tartars behind them were much more terrible than the firearms, and they shouted loudly and frantically pounced on the firecrackers......

Today, in order to write a sacrifice for the Yellow Dragon, it took a lot of time, and I can only update one chapter.

"Inscription of the Yellow Dragon of the General Soldier of the Dongjiang River"

Nothing to do and talk about the surname, remember the poem to report the king,

Should laugh at the officials than I am worried, the ups and downs of the sea to find the seal,

Suddenly, the dust rose, and the house was full of sour rot and cold,

Looking for the pillar town screen, Dangkou Hao Jie Fu dares to come out,

The family and the state have fallen to the iron hooves, and the villagers are bloody and sad,

The erection of the Confucian swarm to the death of a strong man, how can benevolence and righteousness be worthy of slaughtering the blade?

The famous generals are scattered, and now Wei Siyue Peng is ......

The capital of Yao, the soil of Shun, the seal of Yu, cherish my eternal China, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are as bloody as promised, and half a shameful minister?

Old and new hatred, counting from the beginning, the lack of gold, only one hand to make up,

The man broke the pillar of heaven in anger, the hero rode a horse and waved the dragon spring, pacified the ghosts of the Dongjiang River, and defeated the enemy in eight battles.

If you want to turn the tide from the past, you will be driven to serve your country in a hundred battles, and you will raise the banner in your hometown, and the general will be famous and shocking the chieftain.

The thunderbolt in the clear sky is flying silver rain, it is difficult to stabilize and kill, the smoke of gunpowder rises in front of the lion's mouth, and the artillery fire on the golden mountain is booming,

The lonely army town of Huben is Lushun, the officers and soldiers are idle, the souls of the brave men are like iron, and the blood of the four thousand soldiers is exhausted.

Defend the family and defend the country, leaving only the heroic spirit in the world, the white iron innocently casts the ministers, and the green mountains are fortunate to bury the loyal bones,

Thousands of lines of tears under the sad pen, a howl of ten thousand sorrows, Kyushu tears zero heroes lost, and China sang the general's righteousness.
