Chapter 43: The Battle of the Four Cities (10)

Chen Xin calmly looked at the smoke-filled street in front of him, the center of the cross street was already a hundred steps away, Jiannu's resistance on West Street was very fierce, although he was defeated and retreated, but Jiannu transferred reinforcements from the east gate and the south gate, and after constantly putting into West Street, Yan Zòng delayed the attack of the third part, and Jiannu's reaction was not slow. In the third part, Wang Changfu, the general manager of Qian, constantly sent people to intersperse with alleys, so as to force Jiannu to keep retreating.

Chen Xin rode on a horse, crossed the head of the 3,000 headquarters queue in front, and could see the thick smoke and dust of the east gate, but Jiannu had been transferring troops from the east gate to reinforce West Street, and the Chinese army lookout who climbed on the roof also said that the Jiannu banner in the south was still there, and it seemed that the Ming army on both sides was weak to attack, and he didn't even know if he had begun to attack the city wall.

After Ma Shilong's general army red flag arrived at the West Gate Gatehouse, the Qinwang army in the west was entering the city in a steady stream, but they didn't come here, but entered various small streets, Chen Xin didn't need to ask what they were doing, in short, they couldn't help.

According to those very vague intelligence, there are not many Jiannu in Luanzhou, Zhenyi is probably more than 1,000, Baoyi may also be 1,000, plus a small number of Mongols is more than 2,000, and the other two Ming armies are negative, they can always contain some.

Chen Xin said to Liu Pojun beside him: "Did Lu Chuanzong come to ask for reinforcements?" ”

"No, just now he reported that a bureau has rushed to North Street. In addition, the lookout said that the second part of Dai Qianzong was about to approach the North Gate Urn City. ”

Chen Xin nodded, he estimated that Jiannu's attention was attracted to West Street, as long as the second part occupied the north gate, Jiannu would be locked up.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to urge Mr. Wang Qian, this short period of more than 100 steps has been a quarter of an hour."

Chen Xin thought about it and said, "You go and send someone to sue him, the other two thousand headquarters are almost completing the goal, and there is no need to say anything else." You go in person and take the Chinese Guards with you. ”

Liu Pojun responded, and rushed forward in person, Wang Changfu had already run to the front, and a group of firearms soldiers fired at a three-story restaurant in front of them, beating the second and third floors into sawdust, but there were still Jiannu shooting at them with lead characters, and occasionally birds shooting at this side. Wang Changfu walked up and down the queue, giving orders loudly.

Wang Changfu was the first to follow Chen Xin's slender man, some courage, dare to take responsibility, and his mind is also flexible, so he was promoted quickly, and most of his old subordinates became the captain of the hundred or flag, and among the team of people he led at the beginning, there were only two backward elements, Zhong Laosi and Zhou Shaoer, two of them, one captain and one captain.

This time, he attacked all the way to West Street, and one of the places where he fought the longest was the food shop in front of him, which was a three-story structure, and the Wendeng camp occupied the first floor, but the staircase was narrow, and the second floor was guarded by Houjin soldiers, and some archers blocked the street with bows and arrows and bird guns on it. Because of their high position, the covering effect of the column was reduced, and the 3,000th headquarters failed to capture it several times.

If there was enough time, I could have set them on fire, but I don't have that time.

Liu Pojun went to Wang Changfu and told him about the situation of the other two, Wang Changfu bit his lip and scolded loudly to the three hundred generals: "Transfer all your sword and shield hands, with thirty boring and palladium hands, and give them to Lao Tzu." ”

A few hundred generals immediately went to give the order, and soon all the sword and shield men came to the front row, and the military judge next to the 1,000th headquarters drew his waist knife and shouted: "Whoever takes a step back will be beheaded immediately." ”

Wang Changfu waved his hand, and a hundred generals led this group of people to charge, they shouted, raised their shields, and all rushed into the first floor, where there was a battle group guarding. The long card player rushed up with the long card, and the round card player behind held the round card on his head, the Jiannu who guarded the staircase on the second floor saw a shield rushing to the top, the two sides fought there, the Ming army killed and injured more than ten sword and shield hands, and finally attacked the second floor, their Qi family knife was better used indoors than the long soldiers, and the boring and palladium hands behind swarmed upstairs, killing the Jiannu on the second floor, and several desperate Jiannu jumped directly to the street and was killed by the combat group downstairs. The sword and shield soldiers then rushed to the third floor.

The attack ability of the restaurant was greatly reduced, and Wang Changfu did not wait for them to conquer the third floor, and immediately ordered the last complete bureau to move forward. Thirty paces before the intersection of the center of the cross street, another group of Jiannu arrived, this was a group of mixed Ba Yala and A soldiers, they did not break up under the two rounds of musket fire, they rushed up and fought with the killer team, with a desperate posture, but defeated the game one after another.

The east gate and the south gate both sounded the sound of gold, Wang Changfu could already see the Houjin soldiers who were constantly escaping at the intersection, and when he saw this situation, he scolded loudly, pulled out his waist knife, and rushed up with his own soldiers.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A breastwall of corpses was erected on the street of the North Gate, and in some places there were some door panels, behind which were more than thirty musketeers, and then thirty killer soldiers, which was what was left of the second game.

The street in front of the position was paved with the corpses of people and horses, which made a clear demonstration for the Jiannu behind, and after several Jiannu were eliminated in a row, the scattered Jiannu did not dare to rush to this side again, and detoured from the east laneway.

Zhong Laosi, who was standing in the back row, looked around, the rest of the first department had not yet arrived, and they were still the only ones guarding here, and the scattered Jiannu did not come, and the front of their position was actually quiet, but the gunfire around them became more and more intensive.

Guan Dimiao took a knife to untie the head, ran back and forth to the chest wall of the corpse in front of him to cut the head of the Jiannu, and then threw it into his own pick, it was easy to cut it, the two picks were filled with dead heads with various expressions, he took a breath, and then came over and whispered to Zhong Laosi: "Captain, why haven't the others come yet, what if a large group of Tartars comes?" ”

Zhong Laosi stepped on the foot of Guandi Temple and scolded: "You dog day after day to say bad ......"

Before the words were spoken, a dense group of cavalry turned out from the east side of the crossroads, and rushed towards this direction with the sound of hooves.

Zhou Shao'er scolded in a low voice: "Your mother's Guandi Temple crow's mouth, quickly get your pick aside, take the knife and stick and get ready." ”

Guan Dimiao looked at the street blankly for a while, slapped himself in the face, carried the pick to the side of the street, and stood behind Zhong Laosi with a big stick in his hand. Huang Yuan commanded loudly, and the musketeers lined up in three rows, waiting for Jiannu to rush closer.

An officer in the front row of Jiannu shouted loudly, and the Jiannu cavalry began to speed up, the sound of horses' hooves was as dense as raindrops, and the bluestone slabs on the ground kept shaking.

Zhong Laosi saw the horses stop in front of the breastwork many times during the exercise, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, and it took great courage to face the cavalry coming from the front, after all, the actual combat was different from the exercise.

Eighty paces, the first row of muskets fired, four horses were hit, rolled and fell to the ground, the cavalry behind continued to rush around, after the second round of muskets fired, the Jiannu formation was chaotic again, and the corpses on the ground blocked, so that they could no longer ride and charge.

This group of Houjin soldiers dismounted one after another, drew their weapons and swarmed in.

Zhong Laosi looked at the dense Houjin soldiers in front of him, and felt a little weak, this group is at least a hundred people, there are only more than sixty of them here, among which there are thirty firearms teams, and the killer team is also improvised patchwork, and the combat power is definitely not as good as the original old comrades-in-arms, he whispered to Zhou Shao'er: "Let's block people's retreat, it's strange if we don't fight to the death, how comfortable it is to kill at the entrance of the alley just now, Huang Yuan, this bastard, has to come desperately." ”

Zhou Shao'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Don't complain, we are this life, we were tossed by this gang of killings, except for Lord Chen, the other officers are not things." ”

While the two were talking, the Houjin soldiers had already rushed to thirty paces, the third round of muskets was fired, seven or eight Houjin soldiers fell to the ground at the same time, and a Houjin officer behind them shouted again and again, and the Houjin soldiers did not take out their bows and arrows, but sped up and pounced.

Zhong Laosi didn't care about complaining anymore, and led the team to the back of the breastwork, only Zhou Shao'er had time to throw out a javelin, and a group of Jiannu came to the front of the breastwork, and the armor soldiers in the front row and Bayala threw out a wave of flying swords and short-handled axes, hitting several Wendeng camp soldiers, and then the two sides assassinated each other at the breastwork, and Jiannu was in a hurry to escape, at this time they were all desperate to fight, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Under the continuous onslaught of Jiannu, the front of the Wendeng camp could not be maintained, and soon it turned into a scuffle, Huang Yuan roared loudly, and the musketeers dropped their firearms one after another, and drew their waist knives to participate. The corpses of both sides piled higher and higher at the breastwork, and the ferocious post-gold hunters gained the upper hand in the melee.

Chen Ying stabbed two Houjin soldiers who jumped on the chest wall of the corpse in a row, his spear was finally cut off by a big knife hand in the back, the big knife man stepped on the corpse and pounced, Chen Ying took a few steps back, dodged the big knife hand to block the waist, and when he retreated, he was blocked by a person, and the big knife slashed sideways again, Chen Ying rolled to the ground, and the big knife slashed into the waist of a musketeer behind Chen Ying with a pop.

The strong Houjin big knife hand twitched, the knife was caught by the muscles of the musketeer, and before it was taken out, Chen Ying jumped up from the ground like a cheetah, and threw the big knife hand to the ground. The two scuffled together, the big knife hand was also stout, not inferior to Chen Ying in the slightest, the two were evenly matched, turning over on the ground, both wanted to press on each other, their own weight and iron armor were close to two hundred catties, as long as they pressed up, they would have a big advantage.

There was a bamboo whistle sound in the shouting and killing, it was Huang Yuan asking for help from the surrounding friendly troops, Chen Ying didn't have the time to pay attention to it, the Houjin soldiers who were close at hand spit out heavy bad breath, disgusting, the two were still fighting to the death, then the Jin soldiers clasped Chen Ying's face with their hands, wanting to dig out Chen Ying's eyes, Chen Ying twisted his head, and suddenly bit on the index finger of the Jiannu.

Jiannu screamed, lost his mind, and was suppressed by Chen Ying, Jiannu withdrew his hand, roared repeatedly, struggling desperately, Chen Ying relied on his weight to press him, reached out to take out the dagger, but felt empty, I don't know where it fell.

That Jiannu struggled desperately, Chen Ying couldn't kill him for a while, while fighting, he looked around, and found the tail feathers exposed in Jiannu's arrows, freed up one hand and pulled out one, and slammed it into Jiannu's face, and finally pierced Jiannu's eyes after several times in a row, and Jiannu struggled twice and didn't move.

Chen Ying was exhausted, kept panting, looked up to the side, and saw Zhou Shao'er also rolling with a Jiannu, stuck each other's necks, staggered to stand up, went over to help, the two killed the Jiannu together, one picked up a weapon to help others, and a dense group of Jiannu rushed over at the crossroads.

Zhou Shao'er said desperately: "Your mother, you are going to return to the West today." ”

Chen Ying laughed and said: "I've killed enough, I earned one more, follow Lord Chen, I won't lose anything in this life." ”

Zhou Shao'er couldn't cry or laugh, he and Jiannu were not bitter and bitter, fighting was a war, and he still felt a loss when he died.

At this time, many whistles suddenly sounded around, and the other two bureaus of the 1,000th headquarters finally arrived, and as soon as they came up, the Wendeng camp had an absolute advantage, and immediately killed all the first batch of Jiannu around the corpse wall, and only a few Houjin soldiers had just fled into the north gate.

The breastwork of the corpses had already exceeded the height of the breastwork, and the corpses in various postures were stacked on top of each other to the height of one person, and the soldiers of the 1,000th headquarters continued to pour out from the alley to the west, forming a dense queue in front of the breastwork, and the sound of musket fire was endless, and the Houjin troops coming from the intersection fell countless in the front position.

Lu Chuanzong's Qianzong Banner also appeared on the street, and he set out a bureau to move towards the north gate, intending to completely seal the north gate.

Zhou Shao'er smirked, there were friendly troops on both sides, they were already in a safe position, he hurriedly went to see his teammates, and then found the body of Guandi Temple, he was stabbed in the chest by a spear, he had died of anger, Zhong Laosi was also injured, his left hand kept leaving blood, at least seven or eight knife marks on his armor, and there was also a knife on his face, full of blood.

Zhou Shao'er quickly took out his cotton cloth, which was boiled in boiling water in Guandi Temple before leaving, Chen Ying helped Zhong Laosi undress his armor and began to help him stop the bleeding.

The two were busy, a fierce volley of muskets was fired at the cross street, and then there was a huge cheer, the third thousand general flag appeared at the intersection, Zhou Shao'er turned his head to see, the flag of the second thousand headquarters was also erected on the north gate, and the north gate retreat of Jiannu had been completely closed, from the north gate tower to the crossroads, the Wendeng camp was thunderous.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Zhang Zhongqi was riding on a horse, he had already run out of the city, heard the cheers of the city, turned his head to see, there were already musketeers in red clothes on the head of the city, and several Houjin soldiers who had just run out of the urn city were killed by a burst of muskets at the head of the city. Cavalry of the Ming army also began to appear at both ends of the northern city.

Zhang Zhongqi was secretly glad that he ran fast, he helped Niu Lu to really cross the street, and found two empty horses with no one, and Taktan answered him and went out of the city together.

Taktan was already frightened, and Niu Lu was really experienced in a hundred battles, and he was quite calm, he broke the arrow shaft and rode away with severe pain.

Niu Lu Ezhen finally remembered something, turned his head to Zhang Zhongqi and said: "You are a good slave, if you don't die when you go back, I will carry the flag for you." ”

Zhang Zhongqi was overjoyed and thanked his master again and again.

Niu Lu Ezhen actually has no bottom on his fate, this time most of them were left in Luanzhou again, will they be beheaded by Mang Gurtai when they go back, he can't care for a while, he hopes that these two people will not leave him, and he asked Zhang Zhongqi: "What else do you want." ”

"Minions, minions want to be mute."
