In the blink of an eye, Julu had been holding on for nearly twenty days, and it was January 15 of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, but the reinforcements were still delayed. The camp in the north of the city fell three days ago, and Yang Guozhu led his subordinates to retreat into the city to defend it, and only Zhu Ping'an's camp in the south of the city remained outside the city.

Two days ago, Hu Dawei was seriously injured in one leg and was sent to the city for treatment, and the camp in the south of the city was under the unified command of Zhu Ping'an. Some of the Shaanxi troops who had not withdrawn into the city cooperated with Zhu Ping'an's troops in the battle, and they also suffered heavy casualties in the past few days. There are still more than 2,000 people left in the Shaanxi Army, and more than 500 people have been lost in Zhu Ping'an's headquarters. Fortunately, Cheng Zhen led some of the people's troops in the city to reinforce in time, and the camp in the south of the city was fortunately unharmed.

Yao Dongzhao had already led more than 10,000 people's troops from the three prefectures to approach Julu, but he was entangled by the cavalry of the Qing army, so he had to defend in the area of Jiazhuang, which was only more than 40 miles away from Julu, but it was difficult to move an inch.

After days of fierce fighting, the Ming army inside and outside the city consumed a lot of firearms, especially the stock of gunpowder dropped rapidly, and now it can only rely on the city, trenches and other defensive facilities to fight to the death with the enemy, and the casualties are also suddenly large.

The Qing army lost the artillery unit of Ma Guangyuan under Wuzhen Chaoha, and the surrounding area of Julu City had been dug with trenches, so the cavalry had no way to play, so they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army.

The commanders of the Qing army, Dolgon and Abatai, dragged Lu Xiangsheng in the city with soldiers and horses, and besieged the camp in the south of the city with heavy troops, and all of them were destroyed by Zhu Ping'an several times in a succession, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the killing of Tan Tai, Ma Guangyuan, Dorolon and others, as well as the so-called "slander and insult" of Concubine Zhuang and Dolgon, also made Dolgon hate Zhu Ping'an to the core, and he had to take his head and hurry up.

The battle is fierce, Zhu Ping'an has ordered Zhang Dagou's 300 cavalry to retreat into Julu City, these 300 people are Zhu Ping'an's lifeline, and now the battle to defend the city is of little use, it is better to preserve the elite. The firearms troops of King Mafu and He Changshui had also withdrawn into the city because of the insufficient stockpile of gunpowder, and the ammunition of the Shenji arrow car was exhausted, and it was no longer useful, so it could only be transported into the giant deer, and it could only be destroyed as a last resort. And the rocket car has only four rounds of ammunition left, and Zhu Ping'an plans to save it until the end.

Hauge's two yellow flags had suffered heavy losses in the previous days, and Dolgon had already achieved the goal of depleting his strength, so he arranged for Hauge and Aobai to feint to attack Julu City, while he commanded the main force of the two white flags and the two red and blue flags to besiege the camp south of the city.

Early this morning, Man Dahai led 3,000 elite infantry of Zhenghongqi to drive 2,000 stacks of looted people to storm the camp in the south of the city, none of the 2,000 people survived, and Zhenghongqi also lost nearly 1,000 people, and finally filled in all the trenches outside the camp.

After the Mandahai army retreated exhausted, Abatai, who had taken over the command of Dolgon, immediately ordered his two sons, Bo and Bolo, to lead 5,000 soldiers with blue and white flags into battle. He knew very well that the Ming soldiers of the Chengnan battalion had reached the verge of collapse under the attack of several days in a row, and as long as he increased his strength, the Chengnan battalion would fall immediately.

Abatai's careful mind saw it all, but he didn't stop it. Abatai is not reused by Huang Taiji, and his heart is extremely lost, but his violent temper makes this situation more and more severe, and Dolgon has no good impression of him, although this person is a fierce general, but his mind is too simple, and it is easy to be used by others, this kind of person can only be driven, not reused.

On the contrary, his three sons are all rising stars with both wisdom and bravery. Especially his youngest son Yue Le, who has already shown excellent su zhì at a young age, as long as he cultivates hard for a few years, sooner or later he will be one of the best generals in the Qing Dynasty. For Abatai's three sons, Dolgon attaches great importance to them, and even thinks that the three of them will surpass Duoduo and Azig in the future, so for the three of them, Dolgon spares no effort to win them over, so he pretends to turn a blind eye to Abatai's "foreshadowing" for his sons.

Bo and Bo Luo stepped on countless corpses and howled to the battlefield, and they were met with a storm of arrows, but the number was much smaller than before. Bo Hezhen waved the round shield in his hand to block the arrows, and shouted: "Minggou doesn't have many arrows anymore, rush up, the camp in the south of the city is ours!" ”

Bolo danced a long-handled sword, and the soldiers jumped into the camp of the Ming army, and the soldiers behind him slashed the horses in front of the camp, and the Qing army of the brigade was like a flood that opened the gates, pouring into the camp in the south of the city.

After these many bloody battles, the armor on Zhu Ping'an's body has long been damaged, the trench has been filled, there is no barrier against the Qing army, and the firearms are exhausted, and now he can only block the offensive of the Qing army with his flesh and blood.

Since yesterday afternoon, Zhu Ping'an has led the Shaanxi army and his subordinates, a total of 3,000 people, relying on the large battalion, to repel the Qing army's attacks four times in a row, annihilating a large number of enemy troops, while annihilating a large number of enemy troops, there are only more than 1,000 people left around him, and only more than 500 people left from the soldiers brought from Fengyang.

Without the support of firearms, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was much worse than that of the Qing soldiers, and if it weren't for the large battalion, I am afraid that these 3,000 people would have been wiped out under the city. Dolgon and Abatai were afraid that Zhu Ping'an would be scheming and secretly hid some firearms for backup, so they never dispatched a large cavalry to attack the camp, which also bought Zhu Ping'an a lot of time.

"The last minute has finally arrived!" Zhu Ping'an muttered this sentence, and waved his arms fiercely at Wang Jinfa and Zhang Ergou beside him, and the two gritted their teeth and ignited the fuses on the last two rocket vehicles.

The lead was carrying sparks, burning happily, and with a series of four loud sounds, the rockets shot out and plunged headlong into the oncoming Qing army.

The flames were on all sides, countless pieces of iron and gravel flew and scattered in the crowd, and the forward troops of the Qing army were swept down in an instant, but the ones behind were not afraid of death, crossed the corpses of their companions, and killed again.

Bo He's face pierced two pieces of iron, but he didn't realize it, threw away the shield in his hand that was beaten like a hornet's nest, took off a large iron knife from his back, and howled to meet the Ming army that rushed to kill him, and behind him, Bo Luo led the elite foot soldiers to follow.

Zhu Ping'an's musket battalion soldiers had already thrown away the muskets that had run out of ammunition, picked up spears and broadswords and rushed into the enemy group. Zhu Ping'an tore off the tattered armor on his body, and killed the Qing soldiers in only a military attaché's arrow suit, and cut down two burly Qing army swordsmen with one face.

Zhu Ping'an has personally gone into battle several times these days, and more than 100 of his own soldiers around him have been killed and wounded, Yue Jinfeng and Qiu Ze led the Qin army and the old soldiers of Liaozhen to guard the surroundings tightly, Wang Jinfa and Zhang Ergou were also among them.

Although Wang Jinfa once followed a gust of wind King Jin Yong to fight in the south and the north, he had never seen such a tragic battle situation, although he was terribly scared in his heart, but there was no way to retreat, he could only follow behind Zhu Ping'an, not leaving an inch.

Cheng Zhen's auxiliary battalion had already been put into battle, and Li Rujing had already forgotten his previous plan at this time, and the two of his subordinates had already died on the battlefield, and the idea of leaving Zhu Ping'an's army as soon as possible had also disappeared. Because, such a battle made him suddenly realize something called "responsibility", and he realized that the so-called "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband" turned out to be like this. Although there was no hope of victory in the battle, it made his blood boil, and he had no regrets about dying!

Li Rujing can't remember how many enemies he has killed, but he can also feel that today, the camp in the south of the city may not be able to hold on, around, one by one familiar comrades fell on the way forward, and more people rushed up without hesitation, even so, the figure of the Ming army is still getting fewer and fewer, and the city continues to send civilian troops to help the war, but in the face of the superior strength of the Qing army, it is still difficult to continue.

As soon as he looked up, several Qing soldiers next to him were slashing around a person, the clothes on the person's body had long been unable to see the original appearance, but the hat and helmet on his head were the style of the Ming army, although the person was brave, but he seemed to be exhausted, and the speed of waving the weapon with his arms was much slower. One didn't pay attention, and a Qing soldier secretly turned to his back and slashed at his back. The Ming army next to him seemed to see this scene and couldn't help but exclaim, but they were entangled by the Qing army, and no one had time to help.

Li Rujing didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up a spear on the ground and threw it with all his strength. Shoot the soldier in the chest.

The man cut down the other three Qing soldiers, stabbed the ground with a knife, gasped for breath, and when he looked back, Li Rujing realized that he was Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded, "Thank you!" Just about to speak, Li Rujing ran over with an arrow and flicked Zhu Ping'an to the side, only to hear a poof, but a feather arrow was shot on his right chest.

Li Rujing only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body fell backwards involuntarily, but a strange thought flashed in his mind, "What am I doing?" ”

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly supported him, "Brother, hold on!" ”

But the blind man came out of the crowd like a ghost, opened the full moon with his bow, and shot an arrow at the Qing archers who were stealing cold arrows on the opposite side.

Wang Jinfa and Zhang Ergou finally killed them, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Ping'an shook his head and looked at Li Rujing who was holding him, at this time, Li Rujing's face towel had long since disappeared, and a face was clearly presented in front of Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, a familiar figure came to mind, and he couldn't help but shout in surprise, "It turned out to be you!" ”

And Li Rujing collapsed because of the battle, and he had fainted from the arrow wound, Zhu Ping'an handed Li Rujing to Wang Jinfa, "Send it to the city quickly!" He must be saved! ”

Wang Jinfa took Li Rujing and retreated, while Qiu Ze, Yue Jinfeng and others also withdrew, one by one like bloody people, "My lord, it's not good, the Qing army has increased its troops again, our army's losses are too great, and the brothers can't hold on!" ”

Qiu Ze pointed behind him, "There is a lot of smoke and dust in the distance, it should be the cavalry of the Tartars who are ready to dispatch, it seems that they have found that our firearms have run out and started the final attack!" ”

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, "Greet the brothers, fight and retreat, I will break the back!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Yue Jinfeng, Qiu Ze and the others were shocked when they heard this, "It's better for you to retreat first, and I'll wait for the break!" ”

"Fart!" Zhu Ping'an shouted angrily, "It's not your turn to call the shots now!" After speaking, he kicked away Qiu Ze, who was blocking in front of him, and swung his knife into the enemy group again.

Yue Jinmad and the others stomped their feet and followed closely. R1152
