Chapter 240: The Ming People Cannibalize

Three days passed in a flash, the large camp outside the city of Jiannu was established, the four corner towers were lined up, the trench had been dug, and a camp covering a vast area stood in the north of the city, threatening the entire Zhuozhou City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past three days, Jiannu has plundered more than 10,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, because of the war, many people of the Ming Dynasty have fled their homes, and these more than 10,000 people have been collected with great difficulty.

Huang Taiji also waited for the news of Li Yongfang's inquiry, and the Ming army stationed in Gu'an was extremely chaotic on the way, and only marched more than 20 miles a day, so it can be imagined that its combat strength was weak.

At this point, the Gu'an Ming army is no longer in the hearts of the top management of Jiannu, Dajin's fierce enemy is in the current Zhuozhou City, as long as it enters Zhuozhou, it can eliminate the most fierce enemy of Dajin at the moment, save the damaged face, and avenge the sixth child.

At the beginning of December 19 of the second year of Chongzhen, the sky was still dark, the camp of Jiannu in the north of the city was brightly lit, all the soldiers of Jiannu began to get up to make rice, and the smoke produced by many pots and stoves was blown to Zhuozhou by the north wind, so that the smoke in Zhuozhou City was filled, and it was also understood that Jiannu would have a big action.

In the past few days, Zhao Lie has not been idle, he divided the more than 3,000 soldiers into four teams, 1,000 soldiers in the north, east and west cities, and the south city was all guarded by Zhuozhou guards, which was negotiated with An Yongde.

An Yongde also acquiesced to Zhao Lie's arrangement, the boundless Jiannu army has made An Yongde frightened, he hates to hand over all the matters of defending the city to Zhao Lie, he has no experience of fighting against Jiannu at all, at this time An Yongde can't take care of the trivial matter of power, and it is the most important thing to be able to save Zhuozhou and his own lives.

Zhao Lie arranged for Huang Han to guard the west city, Li Lu to guard the east city, and Guan Ming commanded 400 soldiers to help defend the south city. Once the south city is in an emergency. This is the last reliance of Nancheng.

Of course, the movement of the Jiannu camp in the north of the city could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the broken army. The Broken Army also began to eat breakfast, and it is not certain when they will have breakfast next, and the soldiers of the Broken Army eat as much as possible at this time.

After breakfast, the Jiannu brigade drove out of the camp one after another, and marched to the three city gates in the north and east and west.

This old routine has always been extremely applicable to the Ming army, and many Ming troops were half-hearted when defending the city, so it was a big deal to break through and escape from this unbesieged city gate. Of course, it is certain to be chased and killed by the Jiannu cavalry, and then it only depends on whose horse is faster.

Huang Taiji led his army to attack the northern city, Mang Gurtai led the blue flag to attack the western city, and Azig led the white banner to attack the eastern city.

Many people of the Ming Dynasty were driven to the city with a sack in their hands, and the sound of crying and shouting resounded throughout the earth, among which there were many women and children, and the scene was extremely miserable.

A thousand Han troops and two Jiannu of Niulu were responsible for driving these people away, and those who did not follow the slightest delay were immediately killed.

During the period when Fang Dongmen and Lu You were also there, they controlled their own homes and did not pay attention to the tragic situation of these Han people, but just blindly drove them away.

A mile from town. These Hermes-Epitek were driven to take the soil and put it in bags. The first soldier of the Jiannu Brigade began to line up behind it.

Zhao Lie, An Yongde, Han Jian, Xilao, Lu Ruohan, Francisco and others looked at the Ming people who were crying and shouting a mile away with solemn faces, and Jiannu's abacus could be seen at a glance. Use these people to fill the trenches, siege the city, consume the defenders' rolling wood and arrows, and when the defenders are exhausted, the armor soldiers will attack the city, which is a vicious plan to let the Ming people consume and build slaves to make profits.

An Yongde, as a military general in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, was the first to encounter such a bloody siege by Jiannu, of course, he scolded Jiannu for being ruthless and regarded the people of Daming as dogs.

At this time, he knew that what Zhao Lie said about Jiannu driving the people to attack the city was true, and it was really a bunch of inhuman animals.

A few Portuguese people watched in horror at the black and oppressive crowd that covered the wilderness, and the heroic ambition to set out from Macao to help the Ming resist the barbarian invasion had long since disappeared.

They have discovered that these barbarians in the north of the Ming Dynasty are not the scattered and disorderly natives they saw in the Middle East, North Africa, India, Ceylon, Malacca and other places, with shoddy weapons in their hands ready to collapse at the touch of a button, but strong soldiers with complete armor and fierce horses.

The most important thing is that these barbarians can see that they are extremely martial, fearless, and have strict military discipline, and no one dares to retreat without permission.

Such an enemy is not at all something that more than 100 of them can contend with, and even the Portuguese army in Macao cannot resist it.

Zhao Lie was in Denglai, and Jiannu had already heard of this kind of drive of the Ming people to attack the city, but it was also the first time he had personally experienced such a hellish battle formation, and when the living thousands of Ming people were driven to death like this, the shock was incomprehensible.

Of course, Zhao Lie, as the main general defending the city, could never shake his soft heart, so he could only be ruthless.

"Zhao Da, I know that the gunners began to bombard the enemy, and they can't let Jiannu set up a comfortable formation, and when the enemy reaches a hundred paces, they will bombard it with firecrackers." Zhao Lie ordered.

Zhao Da took the order and left.

Suddenly, with the sound of cannons, nine large and small guns fired, and nine projectiles flew towards Jiannu, who was arrayed several miles away, and the projectiles stirred up large clouds of dust on the frozen and dry earth, and immediately shot dozens of soldiers and horses flying, which was irresistible to manpower.

Many of the whole team of Jiannu soldiers panicked, no longer a calm and relaxed scene, many of them looked at the city in a panic, their straight waists unconsciously bent down, under the city of Jinzhou in Ningyuan, they did not suffer less from the Hongyi cannon.

Huang Taiji saw this situation six or seven miles away, his nose was almost out of breath, between yesterday's dangerous situation, this time Huang Taiji did not play a bright yellow banner, and even only wore a fish scale armor to come here to watch the battle, and the specific siege he handed over to Zilharang and his eldest son Haoge.

Huang Taiji knew that there were not many soldiers killed and wounded by artillery, but as long as they were rubbed by projectiles and their flesh and bones were eroded, as the saying goes, it was not a good death, and no one was afraid.

In this regard, Huang Taiji had no choice but to urge the army to march in as soon as possible, and there was no other way.

Jiannu drove the Han people to the moat and began to fill the moat, the moat was nearly a hundred paces away from the city, and it was certainly impossible for the captives to let Jiannu fill the trench comfortably.

Under Han Jian's order, more than 300 firefighters began to fire at the crowd filling the trench. Bang bang. The firing bolts continued to fire. As the fireworks rose from the city, hundreds of projectiles rushed towards the Han people who filled in the trenches, and the people of the Ming Dynasty fell one by one, and the wounded who fell to the ground and howled and rolled on the ground made these people collapse.

When had they ever seen such a bloody scene, they ran backwards with a rolling belt, and before they could run a few steps, the swords and guns of Jiannu and the Han army made them understand that there was no way back.

Jiannu and the Han army immediately killed more than 100 people, making them understand that retreating was a dead end, and these people all turned back and continued to fill the trench with tears.

They were greeted by another round of firecrackers and the screams and cries of the dead and wounded. Immediately the city was full of weeping and howling, and even in the daytime it was as hideous as hell on the forehead.

Zhao Lie saw that some firecrackers couldn't bear to witness the tragic situation, so they closed their eyes or looked to the side when firing, but this basically did not affect the hit of the projectile, because the crowd in front of the moat was too dense, as long as the fire was fired in the general direction, most of them would hit.

Zhao Lie saw the tragedy of the people under the city constantly staging, and his heart ached, what kind of human tragedy was the massacre between the Han people of the same kind of text, and it was now going on under his nose. He gritted his teeth and ordered to continue the shelling of Jiannu to relieve the resentment in his heart.

Just like that, under constant bombardment of artillery and firearms. After more than 1,000 people died, the Ming people filled in several moats, and then the Ming people in the rear were driven to walk quickly towards the city with a ladder in their hands.

Jiannu began to cross the moat under the cover of their bodies, and pushed the dead and injured Ming people who were lying on the ground and obstructed into the moat.

After the Jiannu armor soldiers crossed the trench, they immediately fired their bows and arrows at the head of the city, and immediately thousands of arrows flew down to the head of the city, bringing the howl of death.

It's just that the young men who are helping to fight at the head of the city have no iron armor, and Zhao Lie has already collected a lot of door planks from the city to block the arrows, and at this time, the young men used these planks to protect their bodies, but they were still a little unlucky and were injured by the arrows, and the screams began to sound at the head of the city.

An Yongde, Xi Lao, Lu Ruohan, Francisco and others retreated into the city tower to hide, Zhao Lie did not enter the city tower, the broken army has always been officers and soldiers to go to hardships and dangers, at this time of life and death, Zhao Lie must not allow himself to disturb the army's heart.

Zhao Lie, Han Jian and others stood at the head of the city, and the guards set up iron shields to protect them, and in an instant, the iron shields were full of arrows, and the city was full of feathered arrows, densely packed.

At this time, the unprotected gunners had stopped firing, and only the firecrackers in full armor continued to fire and bombard, and people in the crowd of people under the city continued to fall to the ground and fight for their lives.

When there was a sound, the iron shield that Lu Youyou was holding was hit by a projectile, and it was hit into a big depression, and the iron shield cracked out a small hole that could pass through the light.

Lu You's arms were numb from the shock, he and Fang Dongmen looked at each other in horror, they were all in a cold sweat, but they saw with their own eyes how the injured person howled, it was better to live than to die. The two of them kept their bodies as low as they could, shielding them with iron shields, saying in their hearts that they should not be hit.

The Jiannu armor soldiers fired more than a dozen arrows before they slowed down, and the rain of arrows slowed down.

At this time, the swarming crowd squeezed forward and pressed down to the city, and began to attack the city with a ladder, at this time, Zhuozhou Qingzhuang braved the rain of arrows and began to throw rolling wood stones under the city, large stones and giant trees tilted down, the ladder was broken, the dense crowd under the city was killed, and there were dead corpses and wounded people everywhere.

At this time, the people under the city were already numb, and the Jiannu swords and guns behind them and the attacks on the city made them understand that there was no way to live today, they didn't care anymore, they were all dead anyway, they just mechanically climbed the ladder until they were killed and killed under the city.

The young and strong in the city are also uncomfortable, the locust-like arrows shot up from the city have caused hundreds of casualties, and the city is also crying and howling, of course, with the young and strong joining the attack, the free hands of the firecrackers began to attack the Jiannu archers, after two shots, nearly two hundred archers fell to the ground and struggled, and the other archers began to dodge, and the feathered arrows of Jiannu began to thin out.
