Chapter 145 Resisting the Enemy Outside the Gate

ps: On a business trip in the afternoon, I don't know if there is time to change in the evening, and I will come back tomorrow night.

Guaranteed to continue to change, two more a day, if there is a debt, make up for it next week!

Thank you for your understanding.

At this time, there were only 500 people at the head of the city, and the rest of the men and horses were already lined up. At the front were the cavalry, and behind were the infantry of the Protectorate. Under Li Guo's order, Nie Xin and other civil officials have arranged for the people to evacuate, and Li Guo hopes that the people can escape to a safe place! Because this is the people under his rule, because this battle will be dangerous!

Despite the danger, Li Guo was still full of confidence, and he confided a secret to all the generals. They don't fight alone, they have reinforcements!

Gu Ying, Li Twelve and the others opened their mouths wide, their hair straightened, Li Guo's subordinates only had such a few people, everyone was clear, reinforcements? Where is it?

Li Guo just smiled and said nothing.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and suddenly realize that it must be Li who asked for help from three sides in the past, and maybe there are also reinforcements from Xuanda!

It's just that Zhao Youbin wondered, it stands to reason that if he asks for help from the three sides, he should always know some news! This Tiger Master Li is haunted, and there may be other ways.

As a result, the news of reinforcements soon reached the ears of every soldier!

What the? Reinforcements are coming? It must have been known that Houjin was attacking this place, and soldiers and horses from all walks of life came to support, the soldiers were thinking. With reinforcements, the soldiers were full of confidence, and under the leadership of Li Guo, they lined up and prepared to leave the city!

Li Guo beckoned to the city, and Chen Ping, who was guarding the pass, immediately picked up the thunderbolt cannon. All the people at the head of the city took up their thunderbolts, lit them, and threw them out. Moment. Two thousand thunderbolts were thrown. Goal, city gates!

At the city gate, under the cover of a large number of Houjin soldiers, more than 2,000 Houjin soldiers were hitting the city gate with a thick giant log, and they wanted to knock the city gate open.

Dorgon led a large army to cover behind.

Dorgon now commands the remaining fifty or sixty thousand horses, and he is the commander who remains here. The Ming army responsible for containing the defenders of the city, they always thought that it was the Ming army that defended the city.

Now, five days have passed. Dolgon had also received the news that Huang Taiji had broken through the pass, and he knew it was time to attack. Dolgon did not have the luxury of entering the pass, his offensive was only a deterrent to the defenders, just to tie down the Ming army here.

More than 2,000 people were pounding on the city gates. Dorgon led a large number of men and horses to shoot arrows at the head of the city. But there seem to be few people in the city, not many.

At this time, thunderbolts flew down from the city and landed at the city gate, and the sound broke out almost instantly, deafening! It's like a huge thunderbolt roaring! The ground trembled. The explosion was so powerful that the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and there was not even a human figure at the city gate!

Finished. The two thousand men who attacked are finished! Dolgon didn't expect the Ming army's firepower to be so strong, and he wanted to withdraw his troops. Dolgon didn't want to enter the city.

At this moment, there was a bang at the city gate, which was the roar of the collapse of a huge building, and a larger cloud of smoke and dust rose into the sky. So what's the sound? What happened at the gates? Dorgon looked ahead alertly.

Li Guo was preparing to kill in the pass, and when he heard the sound of the thunderbolt cannon, he was also shocked enough!

Grandma's, firearms are firearms! It's extraordinary! It's a pity that I've been living a hard life since I crossed over, and I haven't developed firearms, which is a pity! When this battle is over, we must build a strong army with firearms regardless of all difficulties!

But the battle was imminent, Li Guo couldn't think much about it, he tightened the reins, and prepared to go out of the city to fight.

However, with the sound of cannons, the adobe city wall in front of me suddenly collapsed with a bang.

Li Guo was stunned, Li Guo was going to go out of the city to fight. But I am also ready that once it is really difficult to resist Houjin's offensive, I still have to return to the city. Chen Ping, who stayed behind, with 500 men, will open the city gate when they are in danger.

But now that the entire city gate has collapsed, that's still a fart! This, there's no way back! Li Guo was ruthless in his heart, his grandmother! Anyway, I won't keep it, so let's collapse! War!

Looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, Li Guo knew that Houjin Bing would definitely rush in, and he ordered loudly, "Bow and arrow ready!" ”

All the soldiers who could shoot arrows put their arrows on their bows.

Outside the city, before the smoke and dust could go down, Dorgon understood that the walls had collapsed.

Dorgon laughed, he raised his sword, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen rushed into the smoke. The iron rider was like a rolling torrent, piercing the smoke and dust, and rushed in.

The dense Houjin cavalry rushed towards the gap, they raised their swords, shouted loudly, crowded, they had been holding back under the city for too long, they were full of resentment in their hearts, they regarded everything here as dead! The people in it are not people, they are the heads of the people they use to ask for merit!

When they break through the smoke and dust, they find that they are facing rain, a rain of arrows!

When the figures of the Houjin cavalry were revealed in the smoke and dust, the first wave of arrows was shot out, about 10,000 arrows, and three or four thousand cavalry were shot on the spot! More of them shot the horses of the Houjin cavalry!

As the horses were shot, one by one the horses fell, and the fallen horses became an obstacle for the Houjin troops, who either tripped over the horses or dodged.

At this time, the panicked Houjin soldiers ushered in the second batch of arrows, which was still 10,000 arrows.

With the sound of popping, one arrow after another shot at the body of the Houjin soldier, splashing blood flowers! Thousands more died. Those who did not die fell to the ground and were injured, and many of them were no longer able to fight.

At this moment, since the city gate was bombed, Dolgon has killed nearly 10,000 people, and thousands have lost their combat power! Therefore, there are only more than 40,000 people left who can fight after 60,000 Houjin, including 10,000 of Lin Dan Khan's eldest son, and the cavalry of the steppe tribes who are attached to Houjin!

But Houjin still has an absolute advantage, Houjin are all cavalry, in the era of cold weapons, the impact of cavalry is incomparable!

However, Dolgon has collected the men, he wants to fight again with the whole team, he has to wait for the smoke to go down and fight again!

But at this time, Dolgon found that in the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers and horses in the city were killed! Dolgon couldn't stop sneering, and scolded in his heart, looking for death! "Stay in formation and kill them!" Dorgon's loud command!

However, Dorgon soon realized that their dense formation was not much of a threat to the soldiers and horses that were killing in front of him!

When Li Guo saw the retreat of the Houjin army, he immediately ordered the men and horses to kill them!

The gates of the city fell, and there was no way for all the people to retreat. To retreat is to slaughter tens of thousands of people in the meanders of the Nafu Valley to the Houjin soldiers! Houjin Bing will kill their own parents and children, and they will also rob their daughters-in-law!

All the soldiers are red-eyed, and we can fight to the death because we don't want to be insulted!

It's still a sharp triangular formation, still with pikemen in front, pikemen are already equipped with waist knives, even in hand-to-hand combat, they can throw down their guns, draw their waist knives and fight the enemy!

Li Guo was still at the tip of the triangle, and the guards he were Sikten, Balhu, and Princess Ulan. Zhao Dagou and Wang Da Stick and other pro-soldiers are even more inseparable!

With spears in hand, they rushed towards the Houjin soldiers.

Dolgon soon realized that Li Guo's troops were like a hedgehog, but the long thorns were even more fatal! Looking at the rain of spears and arrows, Dolgon immediately ordered people to dodge, but Li Guo had already killed him.

After a moment of confusion, the Jin soldiers were divided.

This charge killed a lot of Houjin cavalry!

However, the Houjin soldiers were strong, and under the leadership of Dolgon, they reorganized themselves and killed Li Guo. Although the losses were heavy, Li Guo's formation was finally disrupted, and the two teams were staggered.

Gu Ying, Li Twelve, Niu Decao and others each led their own teams to fight with Houjin.

Qi Laohan also went into battle, taking Zhang Dong of Zhao Town, Qu Bo of Li Zhen, Li Wancai of Daliu Town, Dai Zuoxin of Wang Zhuang and others, divided into several parts, facing the strong Houjin cavalry, blocking with spears and attacking with bows and arrows! The guns were long enough to make them inaccessible to the cavalry.

But after all, the Eight Banners were all cavalry, and they were superior in numbers, and Li Guo's troops still fell behind despite the hard fighting.

On the battlefield, the screams were like thunder, and the blood was like rain, which was extremely tragic.

Li Guo was fighting, and suddenly saw Tao Shicheng, who was in charge of military law after the break, and scolded, "Tao Shicheng, you don't kill the deserters in the back, what are you doing in the front?" ”

"Master, there are no deserters, you can't escape if you want to! Master, let's fight with them! Tao Shicheng shouted.

Li Guo looked around and found that all the soldiers were entangled with the Houjin soldiers.

It is impossible to escape, only to fight.

Looking at the apricot yellow flag in front, a Houjin general is commanding the Houjin soldiers to fight, that is Dolgon!

Li Guo shouted viciously, "Go!" Go kill his shit! ”

After speaking, Li Guo slashed down an enemy soldier with a knife and killed him on horseback.

The crowd shouted, "Kill! "Keep up with you, and kill Dolgon. (To be continued......)
