Chapter 551: Stalemate

The siege continued, and the rain of arrows that covered the ground shot towards the city, and the soldiers who were carrying the ladder to the front fell one after another, but soon the soldiers in the back continued to carry the ladder forward under the order of the junior officer.\\

The arrows of the Qing army are long and heavy, and the power is really not small, once it is shot into the body, it must be the result of penetrating the body, and the only drawback is that the range is not far enough, only fifty or sixty paces away. But this shortcoming has been greatly enhanced, standing on the wall more than seven feet high, with the method of throwing arrows out, the range can reach as many as 100 steps, which also makes the soldiers of Jinzhou suffer enough.

Seeing a famous soldier fall in the rain of arrows, the two brothers Zu Dale and Zu Da Congee, who were commanding the battle, were anxious and hurriedly urged the riflemen behind to rush over to provide cover for them.

These things are very long-winded, but they are really less than a quarter of an hour. Soon, a battalion of riflemen sent by Li Yuan rushed to a distance of more than 150 paces from the city, and they divided into two parts and lined up, aiming their guns at the city wall.

A thousand general manager held a scimitar and gritted his teeth and shouted: "The sixth brigade all obey the order, raise their guns and fire!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

A dull burst of gunfire rang out, and countless buckshot the size of a little thumb flew out of the chamber and shot at the city walls.

"Puff puff puff"

The sound of lead bullets entering the body and the sound of lead bullets hitting the city wall became one, accompanied by the sound of the screams of the soldiers on the city wall, forming a stream of screams one after another.

Seeing that the warriors of the clan were hit by cheap lead bullets and fell to the ground, Zhengbai Qigu Mountain Ezhen Bayan begged Dolgon bitterly on the side: "Prince Rui, what should I do?" Those Han in's firearms are too powerful, and the casualties of our White Spoon warriors are too great, and we can't afford this kind of casualties if we go on like this. ”

Dolgon said with a calm face: "What are you panicking about, most of the city walls are now full of blue flags, and we have very few white and white flags, even if the casualties are big, it is also a matter of the blue flag, what kind of heart do you have, you go back and tell those minions below, let them be smart, those lead bullets are not long-eyed, don't be touched." ”

The protection of Fushengmen has always been in charge of Haoge's Zhenglan Banner, although because the direction of the Dahua Army's key attack is Fushengmen, each banner also sent some reinforcements to help defend, but it is still the Zhenglan Banner as the main force, and the casualties at this moment are mostly Zhenglan Banner, and it was Dolgon who said the above words.

"Wow!"

Bayan lowered his head and went down, leaving only Dolgon to remain behind the battlement and observe the battle through the gap in the female wall.

After watching the battle for a while, Dolgon looked at Hauge, who was directing the soldiers to fight back not far away, and sneered secretly in his heart, this Hauge is really stupid, in this case, they are still forcing the soldiers to lean out of the women's wall to fight back, doesn't he know how sharp the opponent's firearms are? Let's see for yourself how many warriors' lives can be squandered under his blue flag.

At this time, Haoge was already in chaos, although Haoge was conceited and heroic, but in fact it was not a decisive entry, otherwise in another time and space, after the death of Huang Taiji, he still lost to Dolgon and Xiaozhuang with the support of Shangsanqi and Daishan, so that Fulin, a doll who was less than eight years old, ascended to the throne.

At this moment, Hauge saw that the archers at the head of the city could not raise their heads when they could suppress the opponent's firearms from such a distance, and he panicked all of a sudden, and could only keep drinking and ordering the archers to keep leaning out of the battlements and shoot arrows, but the price of this was that the warriors were constantly being killed by lead bullets flying from afar.

"Quick, hurry up and stand by the battlement, release arrows out, you slaves who are afraid of death, hurry up."

On the city wall, Haug and a dozen Goshkha with a leather whip patrolled around, and when he saw the archers crouching under the battlements because of timidity, he whipped them down without saying a word.

The whip of the horse, which was mixed with hair, ponytail, and copper wire, was very painful on the head and face of the soldiers, and several of them fainted from the pain.

A whip slammed into one of the archers, and Haug yelled.

"Quick, you useless minion, don't you want to wait for those men to come in and cut off your head?"

"Wow!"

The whipped archer had just poked his body out of the battlement under Hauge's command, and just opened his bow and arrows, before he could fire, several lead bullets flew in the distance, and hit the bricks of the battlements with lead bullets, and small stones flew everywhere, and a few small stones shot Hauge's face, so frightened that Hauge quickly crouched down to avoid the lead bullets.

As soon as Haug crouched down, a heavy figure pressed down on him, and a hot and bloody liquid also flowed down his neck, and Haug didn't need to look at it to know that it was blood.

"Bastard, get out of the way! Wouldn't it be okay if you got a little injured? ”

Hauge angrily pushed away the entry lying on top of him, but unexpectedly, this entry fell to the ground without saying a word. Hauge saw that the person lying on him was the soldier who was whipped by him just now, but at this time he had been lifted off the cover by a lead bullet, revealing a half-pulled head, and the liquid that flowed into Hauge's neck just now was his white brain.

"Uh-huh"

Rao is conceited and brave, and he has also experienced many big battles, but after seeing such a cruel thing, he couldn't help but squat on the ground and vomit.

The sound of gunfire and shouting on the battlefield was mixed, and after nearly two quarters of an hour of charging, the Liaodong soldiers gradually approached the city wall under the cover of the riflemen behind.

"Bang dang!" With a bang, the first ladder finally climbed the wall with the efforts of dozens of soldiers, and the iron frame with the hook also firmly grasped the wall bricks.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that the ladder was successfully erected, a military commander who had been waiting impatiently below couldn't wait to climb up with a shield in his left hand and a steel knife in his mouth.

"Good! Go up, who is this guy, go back and give him a credit! ”

Zu Dale, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror behind the formation to observe every move in front of him, laughed happily, although he was not half sure whether this Wu Commander would be able to successfully climb to the top of the city, but this Bi Jing was a good start, as long as there was the first, then the second, third, or even the third hundred, were you afraid?

And the Dahua army has begun to climb the city wall, and the Qing generals who defend the city have also seen it, and stones, rolling logs and other objects have also swarmed down and smashed down, smashing the soldiers under the city wall to the point of breaking their heads and bleeding.

But the consequences of sticking out of the battlement and smashing things were also serious, and many Qing soldiers were hit by lead bullets flying from below in the process and fell off the city wall with a scream.

Although there was no such thing as "fire suppression" at this time, this did not prevent the self-taught Dahua riflemen from using their Mini rifles flexibly. The Mini rifle's long range and accurate accuracy also give it new uses.

Under the precise blows of the riflemen's white spoons, the Qing soldiers at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Qing soldiers no longer dared to show their heads at will, even if they barely showed their heads to shoot arrows or throw stones under the orders of the officers, they only barely threw things out.

In this way, arrowheads and stones thrown or shot indiscriminately are not accurate at all, let alone accurate.

The war always goes on and on, and the counterattack force at the head of the city has weakened, which naturally gives the besieging side more opportunities, more ladders have been set up at the head of the city, and more and more soldiers have climbed up.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Hauge, who was covered in blood, didn't care to scold the surrounding group, he drew the long knife at his waist and threw himself towards the city wall with a loud roar, cutting down a soldier who had just jumped from the battlement to the ground.

After cutting down this soldier, Haoge yelled, "My warriors of the Qing Dynasty, behind our white spoon is Shengjing, the capital of our Qing Dynasty, we must not let those lowly Nikans step into my Shengjing half a step, everyone kill o!" ”

After saying that, Hauge rushed over to the other side with a loud bang, and there, just as a Dahua soldier jumped down and cut down a Qing soldier to the ground

Dolgon, who was hiding in the city gate tower to watch the bustle, had already seen all this clearly on the city wall, and after seeing Hauge's actions, he just snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "This reckless man also has a bit of blood. ”

After that, he whispered to Gushan Ezhen Bayan on the side: "Bayan, you take a thousand warriors from the clan to quickly increase the number of Haoge, if you let the Zhenglan Banner's entry into the horse wear out too much, Fusheng Gate will not be easy to defend." ”

As Dolgon's confidant, Bayan knew that although Duo Re Roll was happy to see the power of the Zhenglan Banner weakened, he never wanted to see the Zhenglan Banner being consumed, Bi Jing's Eight Banners were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the previous battle with the Blue Flag and the Red Flag were almost disabled, and Dai Shan and Azig were almost sad overnight, so Bi Jing had no choice. But if the Blue Banner also suffered too many casualties, it would be troublesome when Dorgon took power in the future.

Thinking of this, Bayan responded in a low voice: "Chick! And he went down with a thousand warriors with white flags.

There are many Eight Banner Banner owners who pay the same attention as Dolgon, and seeing that the Zhenglan Banner is in a bitter battle, they are also afraid that the strength of the Zhenglan Banner will weaken too much, so they have more or less sent the soldiers in the banner to help.

Only the blue flag and the red flag were almost crippled in the previous battle, so they were not sent in.

With the passage of time, the war became more and more tragic, because Dahua's firearms were too sharp, the Qing army who dared to poke their heads out of the city wall was almost dead, so the Qing army simply stood in the city wall and waited for Dahua's soldiers to climb into the city wall, and they waited in the inner wall.

For a time, the war fell into a stalemate. (To be continued)
