Chapter 186: Sacrifice of Life

"Kill! Kill! On the Zhubokou Pass, there was a roar of Zhang Xiushen, he had been wounded several times and his whole body was covered in blood, and there was a flying sword embedded in his left shoulder armor. The city is full of corpses, even the wall battlements are crawling with corpses on both sides, the color of the battlements almost turns red, the third wave of armor soldiers only fight more than ten people left, but the morale of the Ming army and the people at the head of the wall is like a rainbow, the first two rounds of victories let them know that the Tartars are just like this, the fear is gone, there is no time to think under the continuous offensive, and a strong combat power has erupted. The remaining armor soldiers could not resist and fled back in the direction of the earthen fortress.

"Kill Jiannu and repay the emperor's kindness." Zhang Xiushen puffed up Yu Yong, half of the big knife in his hand slashed violently to the chest of the last Yu Ding in front, the remnants of the people around him howled and rushed up, this wounded Yu Ding faced a group of Ming people who rushed over, he jumped on the wall in a panic, just about to jump down, two spears quickly passed through his stomach, fixed him on the wall, that Yu Ding stood on the wall and faced the outside of the city, the Jin soldiers were full of blood, and their hands were waving in the air, letting out bursts of screams.

There were two pop sounds, and two more spears passed through Yu Ding's body, and two more Minyong's upper bodies were exposed next to the battlement, and the four spears put Yu Ding's body in the air, and Yu Ding let out a low roar, and his body kept twisting.

After the city was down, the Jin soldiers were hit with heavy arrows, and the two reckless people next to him covered their heads and fell, and Yu Ding was also shot with two arrows, his hands and feet slowly stopped, his head and hands hung down, and he was put on the battlements by four guns.

The Houjin army under the city looked at the city head viciously, and after a while, the head of the Ming army general carefully poked out a little, the helmet was full of red, and the Houjin soldiers under the city looked at each other for a moment, the general suddenly laughed, and pulled the bow below. He shrank back again.

Zhang Zhongqi had just moved outside the city gate with a battering ram, and looked at the Yu Ding at the head of the city with a dry tongue, and the rumbling cannon was gradually approaching, indicating that the Dengzhou army was coming very fast, and it was carrying artillery, in such a narrow terrain, there was no room for maneuvering, if that kind of small cannon took the lead, Zhang Zhongqi couldn't imagine any way to resist. As long as the artillery comes, the only way to retreat is to retreat.

There was a commotion behind, and all kinds of voices came from the canyon, it was the Dengzhou soldiers who were driven by the Houjin soldiers to drive the captive people, indicating that the Dengzhou soldiers were not far away.

Niu Lu really came out of front of him again. He said to Zhang Zhongqi in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare to rush the door, this time the city will come up and down." ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhongqi saw that Baya Layu Ezhen, who was in the blue flag, had come to the city with a group of white armors, and was roaring and agitating them, and his old master Taktan was also among them, and this time he would attack this small gate with other white armors, opening this escape channel for the whole army.

Zhang Zhongqi took a sip of saliva. He asked Niu Lu Ezhen: "Master, the Dengzhou soldiers have arrived, and they have arrived ......."

Niu Lu interrupted him with the sweat wiping his forehead, "Tobo Hui is injured." His Goshha tried his best to get it back, and he kept retreating, and I heard that there were many more muskets in this group of Dengzhou soldiers than in Lushun, mainly the cannon. As soon as we capture this bamboo silk gate, we will pass through this city. Everything else is to be left behind, and you take the precious ones with you. ”

There was another cannon shot behind him, Niu Lu Ezhen shook his whole body, shook his head and hurriedly said, "Start attacking the door." ”……

Miles away, red figures filled the valley, groups of people connected to each other, rushing forward. Zhou Shao'er

A steady stream of discarded vehicles began to appear on the road, and the artillery was blocked by these things, and the advance became slow, and there were many armored soldiers on the road ahead, dodging among the carriages and horses, and they fired an arrow when they drew cold. The Dengzhou soldiers in front fired at the Houjin soldiers with flintlock pistols, and white smoke filled the canyon.

Zhong Laosi rode to the back of the first company, called Zhou Shao'er and asked, "Why don't you move forward?" ”

Zhou Shao'er pointed ahead, "The cannon can't move forward, Jiannu is hiding behind those carriages and releasing arrows, we have to ......"

"You won't fight without a cannon? Where did the cannon come from when we hit Zijinliang, I don't have time to rub it off for you, give you half an hour, you must rush through this corner, otherwise the military law will deal with it. Zhong Laosi couldn't help but say, and shouted to the military judge behind him: "You start the timer now." ”

The military judge glanced at Zhong Laosi and asked the calmer next to him to take out a small hourglass.

"Fuck you!" Zhou Shao'er scolded in a low voice, returned to the front row, pulled out his saber and yelled, "Blow the trumpet!" ”……

The trumpet sounded, and the first company shouted in unison, and as soon as they came out, a burst of heavy arrows came from the opposite side, and seven or eight fell in an instant.

Brother Guan saw that his comrades in front of him fell, or he could only jump out, the trumpet could not blow, that was the end of cutting off the head, he jumped on a board car in front of him, stepped over the car in two steps, and fell to the ground quickly, an arrow flew over his head, and there was a scream in the back, Brother Guan didn't have time to see which unlucky guy it was, they all had chain mail, and they wore thick clothes in winter, and it was not easy to shoot heavy arrows directly.

Brother Guan and several soldiers in the same army walked between the wheelbarrows with their heads bowed, although Brother Guan was not even a captain, he was also a non-commissioned officer, and when there were no other officers, he led ordinary soldiers. Brother Guan was the strongest, and quickly ran through the middle distance, and with the help of the cover of those vehicles, he was not hit by the arrows.

As soon as he turned the last ox cart, he was faced by an archer, he was still drawing arrows from the arrow, and was startled by the Dengzhou soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of him, and hurriedly reached out to touch the knife, Brother Guan pounced violently, he could even control a spear of more than four meters, and the bayonet musket of less than two meters was even more handy, and the cotton armor failed to block the sharp triangular iron blade, and the bayonet accurately pierced into the abdomen of Yu Ding.

That Yu Ding howled miserably, grabbed the barrel of the gun tightly with both hands, Brother Guan kicked over that Yu Ding, immediately pulled out the gun, the blood sprayed high, followed by the black shadow next to him, a soldier wearing scale armor rushed with a big knife, Brother Guan's hand flintlock pistol rang out, the scale armor of the soldier was like a piece of paper clothes at this distance, the soldier stumbled over, Brother Guan hurriedly assassinated the past, the bayonet was in the scale of the iron plate, making a piercing and unpleasant sound, after the piercing, the soldier fell down, and the bayonet snapped off.

The comrades-in-arms in the back rushed past Brother Guan, the explosion of the flintlock pistol was endless, and the Houjin soldiers were defeated and retreated, and Brother Guan pulled out the thick-backed knife from his back. Strap your rifle on your back and chase after your comrades......

"Rush in!"

Zhang Zhongqi brandished his sword, followed Niu Lu Ezhen to rush into the doorway, the gunfire was already clearly audible, the Dengzhou soldiers were close at hand, Zhang Zhongqi was once again facing becoming a prisoner, if he was alone, he didn't mind changing places, but now he has a family still in Liaodong. For the first time, he felt that the Ming generals were very hateful.

This man led a group of rabble to repel the attack of the white armor, and more than a dozen white armor lost their lives, after the city gate was knocked open, he led people to rush into the door hole, repelling the attacking Houjin soldiers. Finally, he threw down the quilt from the city, lit a torch with a torch, and blocked the Houjin soldiers for a quarter of an hour until his quilt was exhausted.

Many armor soldiers and Bayala were transferred to block Dengzhou Town, and Mang Gurtai was also a little out of order, and the troops had just been transferred and transferred back, and the tenacity of this small Guan City exceeded his imagination. So that he can only continue to increase investment, it has become a refueling tactic. Many people on the side of the mountain took advantage of the decrease in armor and fled to the mountains one after another, and many of the clothes from Liaodong also fled. Zhenyi didn't have the manpower to transfer them to guard the detainees, so they could only let them escape.

The wave where Zhang Zhongqi is located is a patchwork, and the leader is Zhang Zhongqi's Niu Lu Ezhen, with a total of more than 70 people. Taktan, who had just retreated, was also among them, and there were also a few Baijia overseers sent by Mang Gurtai.

It's still Niu Lu's real care. Zhang Zhongqi was placed at the back, the front was layered with armor figures, the two sides soon began to fight, Niu Lu really roared far and near, the laughter of the Ming army was occasionally heard, the drums of the blue flag outside sounded in bursts, the queue moved forward little by little, and finally the head lit up, Zhang Zhongqi rushed into the city, there was a burst of cheers outside, some armor soldiers also climbed from the city wall to the city, and the Ming army and the people who defended the city were almost exhausted.

More than a dozen armor soldiers were still running forward, Zhang Zhongqi saw the figure of Taktan, followed and ran over, only walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at the edge of the city gate, stared blankly for a moment, and hurriedly ran over.

Niu Lu was really holding his stomach and leaning against the root of the city wall, his head was trembling slightly, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly helped to cover his stomach, and said indiscriminately, "Master, master...... Open it, the minion will take you back, back to ......"

That Niu Lu's really vicious eyes were becoming godless, he kept staring at Zhang Zhongqi's face, Zhang Zhongqi sobbed in a low voice, "Master, don't die, you die, how can the slave live......"

The Niu Lu didn't say a word, his head was crooked and died, Zhang Zhongqi sat on the ground, and the street in front of him sounded the sound of killing, Zhang Zhongqi suddenly stood up, lifted his Shun knife and rushed into the city regardless of a qiē, he ran for a while, and saw the back of Taktan.

A group of Houjin and white armor soldiers were forming a semicircle, in the middle were several Ming troops, Zhang Zhongqi shouted that he was about to rush in to kill the Ming army, Tak Tan grabbed him, Zhang Zhongqi shouted frantically, until the laughter of the Ming army made him recover some senses.

Zhang Zhongqi blinked, looking at the four last Ming soldiers in front of him, the helmet of the Ming army was gone, the red cloak on his body was stained with blood again, there were three or four broken bows and arrows stuck in the armor, his body was full of blood red, and he couldn't tell that there were scars, and even the hair kept falling blood drops, and he held a burning torch in his hand.

They leaned against a pile of firewood, that Zhang Qian was still like that, raising his head with an uninhibited expression, he struggled to squeeze out a little smile, "There are officers and soldiers chasing after you not far behind, what a hero, you dogs and tartars can't run away." ”

Zhang Zhongqi's lips trembled, looking at Mr. Zhang Qian, he roared angrily at Mr. Zhang Qian: "You dog official, why don't you lower our big gold, you fight to the death, you can't get anything, and kill my master, you turtle grandson." ”

Mr. Zhang Qian raised his head and let out a coughing laugh, and looked at Zhang Zhongqi after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, "If you can understand a turtle grandson, you won't become a Tartar dog, there is always something more important than life, Lao Tzu is called sacrificing life for righteousness." ”

Zhang Zhongqi pointed at the Qianzong, and before he could speak, Zhang Xiushen yelled, "Kill six Tartars, and there are a few brothers together before leaving, Lao Tzu has earned it!" Brothers, kill slaves again in the next life! ”

The three family members laughed together, Zhang Xiushen threw down the torch, and the firewood sprinkled with oil next to him burned brightly.

Zhang Zhongqi pointed at the Qian Zong, and watched in a daze as several Ming troops were engulfed in flames.
