"Since yesterday, there have been signs of movement of the Houjin soldiers' flags, and the three coats who sneaked over in the early hours of this morning reacted, and they were in the white flag area, and the fire and thunder prepared were three times that of the past. *.com*”

Before dawn, the morning military discussion in Dengzhou Town began, Chen Xin quietly listened to Liu Pojun's narration, after a period of calm confrontation, Huang Taiji obviously could not bear such consumption, Lushun is different from Daling River, long-term siege has no effect, the longer the time is more unfavorable to Huang Taiji, and after the arrival of winter, their firewood and food will be tight, according to the deduction of the Military Order Division, Huang Taiji's best choice is to attack with all his strength, and retreat after giving Dengzhou Town enough killing, so as to maintain morale.

"In the same way, in the blue flag front, there is a yellow flag flag, and the men and horses on the two wings become mixed, and it should be Jiannu according to their custom, drawing Ding from each ox and handing it over to Beizi and above."

Zhu Guobin said in a low voice: "My lord, I'm afraid that Jiannu will have a round of strong attack, do you want to put the first battalion and the first general into the front?" ”

Chen Xin waved his hand, "Maintain the in-depth deployment of the battle line, the first general and dragoons are deployed in the second earthen wall, and the newly arrived second guard division is put into the first line to strengthen the reserves." The purpose of the first line is to consume a large number of enemy troops, judging from the current situation, under the city of Huang Taiji, each banner has reflected different will to fight, its internal instability, if there is no big result in this round of attacks, they may withdraw their troops, the sabotage team will set off by sand boat today, Lushun various units will send sentry spies to closely monitor the movements of the Houjin army, the No. 2 Fu ship of the Navy Division will continue to transport military supplies, and the ships below the bird ship will assemble in the harbor and stand by. ”

Then he nodded to Liu Pojun, and Liu Pojun continued: "Houjin's gunpowder reserves are not much, in the battle of Daling River, they used a total of sixty mule carts, tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder, and 8,500 cannons. According to the feedback of the coating that came to them, it is inferred that it is roughly six or seven thousand catties, and its consumption cannot last, and their ant attachment method is ineffective before my musket artillery array, and when the gunpowder is consumed, Huang Taiji has only one way to retreat, so the Military Command Division inferred that they will fight quickly, once the gunpowder is consumed. will consider retreating. Judging from their movements, in the next two days, there may be a major offensive in Houjin, and all units have prepared enough fire, thunder, ash bottles, and other weapons to smash this wave of Houjin soldiers' attacks. ”

Chen Xin slowly stood up. Looking at the general in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "The whole division of Huang Taiji wants to come to take my Lushun, we give up Jinzhou to welcome them, and now we have to let him leave some deep memories, Lushun is not so easy to come." ”……

Later that night, the stragglers of the Jin soldiers harassed the whole night, and the alarm was constantly heard on the battle line, and it was quiet half an hour before dawn.

In the early morning of August 20, there was a surge of people behind the Houjin earthen wall. Thousands of Houjin soldiers entered the middle trench one after another after breakfast, because of the storage of Xiguan Mountain, they had no way to achieve suddenness, so they simply put on a posture of strong attack. The six-pounder cannon of Xiguan Mountain and the flying guns under the mountain fired intermittently. It caused a commotion in the huge post-gold crowd.

Chen Xin came to the north wall of Lushun early, and the area of the barrage ditch in the telescope had already been ditched, and there were crooked earthen ramparts piled up on the ground, during which countless ladders and spears could be seen shaking.

The ministries behind the earthen wall of Dengzhou are in place. As a defensive side, the Dengzhou soldiers can take turns to rest in the city of Arthur. The relatively safe environment makes the rest effect better, coupled with the unique system of trainers, and the dual encouragement of material and spiritual, so that they maintain a high morale.

At the beginning of the hour, Huang Taiji's banner appeared in the east of the middle lane, which was the first time he had been so close to the battle line. Chen Xin said to Liu Pojun: "Do you guess that Huang Taiji is hiding in their tunnel, or dare to go up to the earthen wall to watch?" ”

Liu Pojun thought about it and smiled: "I'm afraid that if we dare to go up to the earthen wall, we also have a few people who surrendered to the past, and two of them are in the defense line of Fei Biao Gong, they should know that Fei Biao Gong needs to be half buried in the soil, and the range is just that, Huang Taiji should not be able to hit the place to the east." ”

Chen Xin sighed and said, "I hope to kill him with one shot, and Houjin will most likely fall apart, and it will be much easier to deal with." Although the flags are a little uncoordinated now, but from today's point of view, Huang Taiji's prestige is enough, otherwise he would not be able to launch such a huge attack, let's not think about what is going on inside Houjin at this time, and don't care who is Huang Taiji's cronies and who is not, and fight according to the needs of the battlefield. ”

"My subordinates understand." ……

Huang Shan followed Zhang Zhongqi's back, walking in the deep trenches, the front and back of the same coat, some carrying dirt bags, some carrying short ladders. Huang Shan's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and there were more than fifty people in this group, all from the same Niu Lu as him, followed by more than thirty Mongolian soldiers, and then more than fifty armor soldiers and Yu Ding, ten of whom were from the Yellow Banner.

Today is the biggest offensive of the round, all the men and horses in the direction of the earthen wall must attack, the people with yellow flags are more like the warlords, according to what Niu Lu said today, before Mingjin, all those who returned must be beheaded, after the personnel were appointed, a bright red mark was drawn in red on the back of everyone's neck, and those who appeared in the rear before the end of the battle were beheaded on the spot.

Bao Yi has always been in the first round, and they have used the fire thunder twice, both of which are ignited and thrown out, and from the nearest trench, about thirty percent can be thrown behind the earthen wall in Dengzhou.

A burst of horns sounded, the armor soldiers behind shouted loudly, Zhang Zhongqi shouted, and the coat in front began to walk, and someone in the queue cried in a low voice, as if going to the execution ground.

The trench turned into a straight road, this straight road is very short, there is a higher earthen rampart at the end, which can block the sight of the Dengzhou soldiers, Huang Shan followed behind Zhang Zhongqi, and kept looking at both sides of the head, for fear of suddenly falling a porcelain thunder, the kind of hedgehog-like fire thunder is powerful, although sometimes it will be smashed on the ground without sound, but as long as it sounds, more than ten pieces of porcelain will burst out, and one will be hopeless, especially for Baoyi, they are not qualified to go down the line of fire to recuperate.

After turning sideways again, enter the trench that is advancing diagonally, Huang Shan once dug here, and knew that it was only about 20 steps away from Dengzhou Town, and at that time, in order to dig this trench, there were more than 20 coatings that died here, and there were still porcelain pieces on both sides of the trench.

One of the coats in front of him suddenly screamed, knelt on the ground and cried. There was chaos in the trench suddenly, Zhang Zhongqi pushed away the two coats in front of him, and desperately slashed the coat with a scabbard of the knife, while scolding: "The dog is crazy, if you don't want to die, get up!" ”

At this time, there was a cannon shot outside, and a cannonball whistled overhead, Huang Shan looked left and right in fear, his legs were weak, and his body leaned against the wall of the trench panting. After he arrived in Lushun, he saw countless dead and wounded, many of them had broken hands and feet, and no one treated them after being dragged back, and they died in excruciating pain, and many people died in battle. The way of death varied, but they were all very miserable, Huang Shan rarely slept at night, he was worried that he would throw a fire thunderbolt from somewhere at any time and blow himself up.

There was a lot of noise in the trench, and several Bao Yi were trying to persuade the crying Bao Yi to get up quickly. Huang Shan was holding on to the wall and preparing to pass, when his body was suddenly pushed hard, and two Yu Ding with yellow flags carrying ladder knives squeezed past him and came to the crying Baoyi. Pressing the coat to the ground without saying anything, Zhang Zhongqi had to persuade two sentences, and a Yu Ding slashed at Zhang Zhongqi with a knife, and the trench was narrow. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Huang Shan didn't know where he got the strength. Grabbing Zhang Zhongqi's clothes from behind, Zhang Zhongqi's body fell backwards, and he was able to dodge the blade of the ladder knife.

"I'm a flag boy, I'm a flag bearer." Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly shouted, showing the cotton armor on his body to Yu Ding, Bao Yi did not have these equipment, Yu Ding looked at him coldly, and then turned to the Bao Yi who was pressed on the ground and stabbed him again and again, like killing a pig and a sheep, that Yu Ding howled bitterly, and his voice was slowly low in the stabbing again and again.

With the swing of the Yu Ding knife, small beads of blood sprinkled on Zhang Zhongqi and Huang Shan's faces, both of them turned pale with fright, and Zhang Zhongqi was even so frightened that he forgot about it.

It wasn't until the coat didn't breathe anymore that the two Yu Ding stopped. "You." The knife-wielding Yu Ding pointed his knife at Zhang Zhongqi, "You two get his body to the ditch, don't get in the way." ”

Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly got up and took Huang Shan to clean up the body of the coat, the coat's eyes were wide open, his expression was very terrifying, his clothes were soaked with blood, Huang Shan felt slippery and greasy when he touched his hands, and he felt nausea in his stomach, almost vomiting out the morning multigrain cake.

"Those who have meritorious service in battle, get one point of land, carry the flag as a bannerman, and those who can reach the earth city first will be rewarded by the Great Khan himself." Yu Ding, who wielded a knife, shouted in stiff Chinese in the trench, "Today is the order of the Great Golden Khan, those who fail to attack will be beheaded, if you want to live, take the earthen wall, otherwise no one will live." ”

Huang Shan and Zhang Zhongqi had just pushed the coated corpse up the trench behind him at this time, and a intestine suddenly fell and stuck to Huang Shan's face, Huang Shan hurriedly pushed the corpse hard, so that the intestine left in front of him, the hot feeling on his face made him unable to hold back anymore, his stomach was cramping violently, he was unwilling to attract Yu Ding's attention, and quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve, suppressed the sound and vomited the filth in his sleeve.

The voice in his throat still attracted the attention of a Yu Ding, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly stood in front of Huang Shan to block his sight, and said flatteringly to Yu Ding with the yellow flag: "What the master said is that the minions have told them, and they all know that they want to make meritorious contributions to the Great Khan, and they all want to fight for a future, and they must break through the earthen wall before retreating today." ”

That Yu Ding was interrupted by this, so he forgot about the voice just now, he didn't say much to Zhang Zhongqi, waved his hand and let them move forward, Huang Shan hurriedly picked up the fire and thunder from the ground, lowered his head and passed from Yu Ding's side, and after turning a corner, he breathed a sigh of relief, he was sweating profusely at this time, almost collapsed.

"Huang Shan, this hasn't started the war yet, you are just like you, you will be smarter in a while, and there is still land waiting for you to plant at home."

Huang Shan let out a low sigh after hearing this, looking like he was in a trance, Zhang Zhongqi shook his head, and at this time he turned to the last corner, Zhang Zhongqi suddenly blocked Huang Shan, "Wait, last time ......"

Before the words fell, there was an explosion in the trench in front, white smoke came from the corner, and there was a scream in the trench, Huang Shan's eyes were dull in the white smoke, and he probably knew that the person in front of him stepped on the mine and ran, it should have been buried by the Ming army quietly at night, and it was not the first time.

The two Yu Ding rushed to the front again, killed the screaming Bao Yi with a few knives, and then ordered Zhang Zhongqi and Huang Shan to carry the corpse, blood flowed all over the trench, several Bao Yi were blown up by 10,000 mine cannons, Huang Shan had nothing in his stomach, just kept vomiting acid water, and then Zhang Zhongqi forced the two Bao Yi to go to the front.

This section of the trench is the closest place to the Lushun earthen wall, in order to facilitate the throwing of mines and sorties, the inside is wider than the front, can stand side by side two or three people, and there are a lot of dirt bags piled up on the ground, all of which they put here some time ago, and the follow-up coats arrived in turn, and set up a short ladder on the wall of the trench to the south.

"Huang Shan!" Zhang Zhongqi slapped him in the face, Huang Shan's eyes were slightly condensed, and Zhang Zhongqi whispered to him: "If Lao Tzu dies, you remember to help me collect the bones, burn it, in short, send it back to the castle, so that the master can take a look at my baby." ”

Huang Shan was stunned for a moment and then said: "Remember, master, you won't die, you are a good person who has done so many good things." ”

"What's the use of that?" Zhang Zhongqi smiled bitterly, "I hope it's a kid." ”

"Woo ......" a low conch horn sounded, followed by the whole array of trumpets and responses.

"Get ready!" The two Yu Ding with yellow flags said fiercely, Huang Shanhui regained his ability to react, quickly took out the fire thunder, and lit a torch with a fire fold.

A drum sounded.

"Throw fire mines!" Yu Ding roared loudly.

Huang Shan immediately lit a fuse and threw it out of the trench, and there were also seven or eight coats around him throwing fire and thunder at the same time, and after a while, a violent explosion sounded, and white smoke lay across the air outside the several miles long barrage ditch, almost blocking all vision, and Huang Shan immediately threw a second fire thunder.

After the explosion again, Yu Ding howled and waved his knife, "All go up and fill the dirt bag, those who run last will die, and those who dare to surrender to the enemy will be executed by their whole families." After he finished roaring, he killed a bag of clothes beside him, and in the miserable cry of the clothes, Huang Shan and the others hurriedly climbed up the ladder and carried the heavy dirt bag to the barrage ditch on the ground.

In front of the first earthen wall, tens of thousands of people carrying dirt bags rushed into the white smoke, rushing to the enemy trench more than ten steps ahead, dense light arrows rose in the rear trench, and countless archers threw towards the battle line of Dengzhou Town, like flying locusts in the sky, and suddenly several earthen walls on the Houjin earthen wall were pushed down, revealing the huge Hongyi cannon behind, which was facing the field artillery position of Dengzhou Town.

In the roar of the Hongyi cannon, the most ferocious attack of the Houjin army began.
