Chapter 145: Golden State Meat Grinder

PS: The first update arrives, and there are two more today, and the author guarantees it with his little brother.

The smoke of gunpowder fills the air, and the shouts of killing shake the sky.

The offensive and defensive battle of Jinzhou Pass has lasted for nearly three days, and Jiannu has been attacked again and again, but again and again in vain.

However, the offensive and defensive battle continues.

Wild boar skin once again organized a group of traitor troops and Jiannu archers, and still used the simplest and most brutal way to attack Jinzhou Pass.

Under the Jinzhou Pass, the wreckage of siege equipment scattered everywhere shows that those high-grade siege equipment have no effect on Jinzhou Pass at all.

What kind of things like Lu buses, Jiannu also moved to the battlefield, and as a result, he became the best target for artillery, and he was smashed by artillery before he was admitted.

In this siege, the artillery fire of the Ming army at the head of the city was already very weak, so weak that there were no Cheng dù who fired a few cannons at all, and there were fewer feather arrows shot in the city. It seems that there is a shortage of materials to defend the city, but when these traitor troops rushed up, there were a lot of rolling stones and skulls of the Ming army at the head of the city, and they still smashed down frantically.

This made these traitor troops cry bitterly, and the stacks of corpses under the city had already made them chill at Jinzhou Pass, but the wild boar skin saw that the Ming army on the pass was short of materials, and suddenly had courage and confidence, and let them continue to fight in the city.

This time to attack the city, these traitor troops still climbed the wall, and I don't know how many times they went up in the past three days. However, this time, as before, it is still in the attrition stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Where the Ming army at Jinzhou Pass was short of supplies, it was obvious that they deliberately released water to lure Jiannu to continue the siege of the city, thus dragging Jiannu into the quagmire of a war of attrition.

With the population advantage of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu could not be consumed at all. Even if a few Ming soldiers replaced a Jiannu soldier, it would be earned. What's more, in this kind of offensive and defensive battle, the Ming army relied on the strong Jinzhou Pass and Jiannu consumption, and a Ming soldier could replace several Jiannu soldiers, which was a big profit.

Under the deliberate release of water by the Ming army, the traitor troops who landed in the city once again climbed the wall. And also repelled the Ming army on the wall. Immediately, more traitor soldiers covering the attack point climbed the wall, and these traitor troops quickly formed a formation on the wall, and started a brutal hand-to-hand battle with the Ming army on the wall.

The Ming army on the wall seemed to be defeated and retreated, but they quickly stabilized their position. Form a spear formation like a hedgehog and fight to the death with the traitor troops who have ascended to the top of the city. For a time, the two sides were killing flesh and blood, and the casualties continued.

However, the Ming army musketeers on the wall were still shooting wildly at the Jiannu archers on the city wall. The artillery at the head of the city was also pouring fire on the Jiannu archers, but the firepower was much smaller. However, the Jiannu archers continued to suffer casualties. However, seeing that the traitor troops at the head of the city had gained a firm foothold and started a fight with the Ming army, the overjoyed wild boar skin obviously didn't care about these casualties.

"Up, good, good. Zhenghuang Qi immediately sent a cow to the top. Seeing that the traitor troops at the head of the city were gaining a firm foothold, the wild boar skin would not suffer any attack on the city at this time, and immediately ordered the yellow flag to attack. Li Yongfang and other traitor generals breathed a sigh of relief, after three days of fighting in the city, most of the 30,000 Han troops had been killed and wounded, and only more than 10,000 people were left to fight. But morale is very low.

However, it was this group of Han troops with low morale who climbed the wall and gained a firm foothold. This...... Can you believe it?

The wild boar skin really believed it, thinking that the Ming army at the head of the city was also too consumed.

Zhenghuang Qi is the 'pro-army' of the wild boar skin, but at this time, it sent ten Niu Lu's troops to participate in the siege, which shows the determination of the wild boar skin.

In fact, the wild boar skin is also difficult to ride a tiger, has attacked Jinzhou Pass for three days, for which a lot of casualties have been paid, this time to give up halfway, did not achieve a certain substantive purpose. Isn't it a blind toss?

Ten cattle were recorded in battle and killed at Jinzhou Pass.

However, as soon as I came to the pass, I saw the Ming army drummer at the head of the city waving the flag suddenly, less than ten seconds later. I only heard the rows of artillery on the wall roaring like thunder, and the smoke of gunpowder rose one after another.

Hundreds of three-pound guns and two hundred one-pound guns fired their first salvo, and 5,400 cannons swept out, forming a terrifying metal storm.

Swish!

Ten Niu Lu Jiannu soldiers lined up very densely, and a large number of them fell on the spot. After the blink of an eye. Of the Jiannu soldiers who could still stand, less than half were left.

Immediately afterward, there was a wailing everywhere. The Jiannu soldiers, who were not yet dead, screamed and rolled on the muddy ground. Although the snow in the first month has not yet melted, the snow under the Golden State Pass has already been melted by a large amount of hot blood, and it was soon trampled into mud, and the corpses were scattered all over the pass.

The Jiannu soldiers who were still alive were already frightened to the point that their faces were as pale as dirt and they were drenched in cold sweat. After a few seconds of silence, the remaining Jiannu soldiers turned around and ran away with a thud.

The boar skin and a few Baylors, as well as his generals, were also stunned by the sight before them.

"This, how is this possible!" Boar Skin's eyes widened in disbelief. The left and right were also speechless, they didn't think much about it at all, the artillery on the Golden State Pass was so sharp. The wild boar skin immediately asked Li Yongfang, "What's going on?" ”

Li Yongfang, as the general of the Ming army who surrendered, is naturally the 'brick family' among the Jiannu in terms of firearms, Li Yongfang stammered and replied: "Qi, Qi Khan, the Ming army must be short of gunpowder, I am afraid this is the return of the Ming army, only a few times later, their artillery is estimated to be useless." ”

Huang Taiji immediately said at this time: "Father Khan, the Ming army may be returning to the light, but the Ming army in Jinzhou has a sea route to mobilize supplies." Even if there is not enough gunpowder today, maybe they will have enough gunpowder tomorrow. Now he can only make a decision immediately, either storm and quickly take Jinzhou Pass, or withdraw his troops immediately. ”

"What the four Baylors say has a point." Li Yongfang hurriedly agreed, he didn't want to take the blame, so it was better to echo Huang Taiji's Jianyi.

The wild boar skin looked extremely hesitant, looking at Jinzhou Pass as if he was constipated, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

I saw that the traitor troops on the Jinzhou Pass were still holding on at this time. The Ming army launched a two-sided attack on them, and the pikemen lined up in rows on the narrow wall, forming an impenetrable death barrier, stabbing the traitor soldiers of Jiannu to death on the wall.

Although these traitor soldiers could also inflict some casualties on the pikemen of the Ming army, it was extremely difficult. Because their weapons are not as long as the spears of the Ming army after all, the steel knife in their hands has not yet cut the Ming soldiers, and they have been stabbed to death with a single shot.

However, these Ming pikemen did not compress their positions much, so that the traitor soldiers who climbed the wall behind them were still in a steady stream, and a group of dead ones were replenished.

Seeing that the fighting on the wall continued, the wild boar skin was really unwilling to give up the situation of "finally creating a zào", at this time Jiannu could invest troops in the wall, and there was no fear of being hit when climbing the ladder. Such a situation does have a great temptation for wild boar skin.

"Li Yongfang, you go and rush all the Han troops in batches, Ben Khan will send archers to cover, remember to disperse, don't be overwhelmed by the artillery at the head of the city." The wild boar skin immediately ordered.

Li Yongfang's face was bitter and he had to do it.

However, this time we learned the lesson just now, and instead of gathering together, the remaining tens of thousands of Han troops began to assemble in batches and scattered to the attack point, and then climbed up from the ladder.

The Jiannu archers also ran to the pass relatively scattered, and from time to time released cold arrows at the Ming army at the head of the city.

However, at this time, the artillery of the Ming army fired again. The target became those Jiannu archers, which were relatively scattered, but the Ming artillery also began to fire freely, constantly bombarding the relatively dense places of these Jiannu archers.

At this time, Jinzhou Pass is like a terrifying meat grinder. The Jiannu archers were killed and injured by the artillery at the head of the city, and at the same time, the Ming musketeers at the head of the city were also continuing to shoot at these Jiannu archers, and they hid behind the female wall after shooting.

And the arrival of the traitor troops was also hit by artillery, but not in a salvo. Instead, it was continuous intermittent shooting, which caused a relatively poor shocking scene, but the lethality was not small at all. Despite the continuous casualties, those traitor soldiers did not dare to flee, followed by the Jiannu soldiers who supervised the battle.

The traitor troops on the wall still did not expand the situation, and the Ming army seemed to be motionless, and they started continuous hand-to-hand combat attrition.

The meat grinder is in full operation.

Zhang Kuotu looked at the current situation with great satisfaction, Jiannu still couldn't resist the temptation to break through the Jinzhou Pass, and still bit the bait.

"My lord, our pikemen have already begun to die in large numbers, do you want to drive the enemy down first?" A staff officer asked Zhang Kuotu. Many pikemen have already died in battle, because their body lì is too strictly consumed. On the narrow wall, the pikemen in the front row had almost no way to retreat, because there were also dense friendly troops in the back.

"Leave it alone, go ahead." Zhang Kuotu said coldly. Although the Ming army also had a lot of casualties, it was much smaller than the losses of Jiannu. For the general, the most jealous of the woman's benevolence. Some of the dead and wounded are not willing to pay, that is not a qualified general at all.

The essence of war is attrition.

Whoever sheds the blood first wins.

At Jinzhou Pass under the sky, the shouting and killing are still continuous, and the soldiers gather together like ants, continuing to fight brutally. Every soldier on both sides fell, and immediately followed by one.

The spearmen of the Ming army in front of them no longer knew how many guns they had stabbed, but the enemy troops who climbed the wall were endless. Many people knew in their hearts that they would die, but they used all their strength to stab the last shot and die with determination. At this moment, they are fighting not only for themselves, but also for their country, but also for their families.

The emperor once promised them that if they died on the battlefield, all tablets would enter the shrine. As long as the Ming Dynasty is not extinguished, it can be remembered and worshiped by the whole country, and become a heroic spirit in the underworld, and it will not be in vain to walk in the world. The whole family is old and young, and the court also raises them for them, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Coupled with the harsh military law of the Beijing camp, no one retreated. With their rock-solid will, they made the traitor soldiers in front of them fearful. Many of them were also Ming troops, but when had they ever seen such a strong army? (To be continued.) )
