"Woo......"

A black projectile pierced through the air, and after a sharp friction with the air, it made a piercing sound and slammed into the city wall, and then the cannonball exploded with a deafening sound, and hundreds of shrapnel of different shapes flew out in all directions, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers who were carrying stones and rolling logs fell in a pool of blood.

This is a 32-pound cannon fired a flowering projectile, more than ten pounds of black gunpowder in an instant burst of energy is amazing, in the center of the explosion more than ten meters people will be affected by the violent shock wave even stunned to the ground even if not hit by shrapnel, this is the scene that Dolgon just saw on the wall of the Great Eastern Entrance Gate.

As the first flowering shells fell, a succession of cannonballs began to fall, and the defenders on the city walls were blown to pieces. Wu Sangui hid in a cave made of three boulders, looking at the constantly falling flowering bullets and the Guan Ning soldiers who were howling and running wildly, his heart was like a knife, these soldiers were the last elite he brought out from Shanhaiguan, and they were also the foundation on which he depended, if all of them were lost here, it would be over.

The shelling in just a quarter of an hour seemed like a century to Wu Sangui and the soldiers on the city wall, and finally when the shelling stopped, his elder brother Wu Sanfeng stumbled over and said loudly: "Second brother, our casualties are too great, two thousand people lost seven or eight hundred people without even seeing the enemy's face clearly, and even my father was injured by rubble, fortunately, the injury was not serious, second brother ...... How do you say? ”

Wu Sangui poked his head out, and only after seeing that there was no danger around him, he said with a calm face: "Big brother, we can't fight like this in this battle, we have been fighting for so long, our people have died so much, but the Tartars have not lost a few people at all, they just want us to die." So you have to be smart, our capital is getting less and less, don't be so desperate! ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I understand!" Wu Sanfeng nodded and said with a calm face: "However, Haoge sent someone over again to let us strengthen the city defense." Let's get the rest of the people into the city, and how do you think I should reply to him?" ”

"Tune it off!" Wu Sangui's face was gloomy, "The two thousand people under his command are our last seeds, if they are there, our Wu family is here, if they don't have our Wu family, I'm afraid they won't even be as good as a dog, and they don't want us to send them to death!" ”

From these words, you can hear the difference between Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou, although Zu Dashou also wants to preserve his strength, but Wu Sangui is more direct and naked, and directly tells the essence of the matter and the fundamental thoughts in his heart. In his heart, he has no concept of home and country at all, as long as it is beneficial to himself, he will definitely spare no effort to do it.

Wu Sanfeng didn't feel strange after seeing Wu Sangui's refusal, but he still frowned and said: "Second brother, that Haoge is not a good stubble, if we reject him, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said: "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and when the catastrophe comes, they fly separately, those Manchurians are too self-righteous, when is it now, they still play the game of preserving their strength." We're all fools. If we lose these horses under my hands, I'm afraid that the world is so big that there really won't be a place for our Wu family. So we can't move the last 2,000 men anyway. ”

Wu Sanfeng hesitated for a moment before he hesitated and said, "But if they blame it, we can't afford to bear it!" ”

The corners of Wu Sangui's mouth showed a sinister smile: "Blame...... Who will blame, and when is it now, and will he dare to blame? As long as their brains are not broken, they will not turn against us at this time, which will only cheapen the Ming army outside the city. ”

"That's just as well!" Wu Sanfeng nodded. He still understood this truth, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll go over and restrain the sergeants and tell them to be careful, but don't lose your life in vain." ”

At this time, the entire Shengjing City became boiling with the attack of the Ming army. Although the Ming army's key targets of attack were Desheng Gate and Dadong Gate, this did not mean that the remaining six city gates could sit back and relax and watch the big drama comfortably, how could Yue Yang make such a low-level mistake. Although he did not attack the remaining six gates. But also sent a certain number of troops to them at a distance of five or six hundred steps away from the city gate to line up to make a siege posture, so that it invisibly formed a deterrent, I can not fight you here, but if you think you can sit back and relax, it is a dream, as long as I am willing to clean you up at any time, this is also the reason why although Desheng Gate and Dadong Gate were attacked at the same time, the rest of the Eight Banners did not come to reinforce the reason.

As the Ming army's attack on Dadong's entrance intensified, Haoge, who was responsible for guarding the town, was also jumping to scold his mother. As the flag owner of the Yellow Banner in the past and now the White Flag, Haoge has nearly 10,000 elite Zhenghuang Banner soldiers under his command, and it is said that he has not reached the Cheng Dù of lack of troops, but the policy of the Manchurian people is to use the Han Army Flag, Mengba Banner and Baoyi Slave as cannon fodder first, and finally go into battle by himself, but Wu Sangui, who is assigned to himself, refuses to buy it, and even if he doesn't work hard, he even leaves the most elite 2,000 men and horses at the end and says that he will not send them to the city wall, which makes Haoge feel that his uncle can bear it and his aunt can't bear it.

Seeing that the Ming army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, Hauge was so anxious that when he jumped to his feet, Goshha, who he sent to ask for help from Dolgon, came back, and when Goshha panted and told him of Dolgon's decision, Hauge was immediately stunned, "What...... Kill on the spot, what is the emperor doing? Doesn't he know that at this moment of great enemy, if he kills his own people without authorization, he is not afraid of causing internal strife? ”

Although Haoge has a violent temperament, he still knows this truth after many years in the army, otherwise he would not tolerate Wu Sangui grinding foreign workers there.

"Master, the slave doesn't know either, but this is what the emperor said himself, and the slave heard it really, and there was not a word wrong." Goshha on the side swore an oath.

"Ao Bai...... What do you see? Hauge looked at the fierce general next to him with some hesitation.

At this time, Ao Bai had already put on a shining silver armor, and the thick copper nails with his rough expression looked particularly hideous.

Ao Bao snorted coldly: "Since the emperor said so, then let's carry it out, anyway, if Wu Sangui is allowed to do it like this, the Ming army will attack the city sooner or later." ”

At this point, Hauge had no choice but to agree, after all, this is a matter of principle, how can there be a reason for the master to work hard in front of the slave but watch the excitement in the back, isn't it a joke. If all the people are exhausted, even if Shengjing City guards it, is Shengjing City still a place full of people?

Thinking of this, Hauge said solemnly: "Worship." You immediately stepped forward with a thousand warriors and told Wu Sangui that if he was passive and unwilling to do his best to avoid the war, then blame the king for enforcing military law! ”

"Woo ......" Ao Bai didn't talk nonsense, arched his hand towards Haoge and led a thousand people towards the city wall......

…………

"Quick...... The first team pressed on the ...... The Musketeers take cover below...... Don't let the Tartar throw arrows and stones so calmly! ”

He Hanyun ...... You idiot, what else are you inking...... Hurry up and lead the team to press! ”

Outside the gate of Dadong, Yang Guozhu, who was responsible for directing the attack, held a loudspeaker behind him and loudly commanded the troops in front of him to attack the city, a team of sergeants wearing green military uniforms and stab-proof suits, holding shields and steel knives, under his command, actually climbed towards the city wall in an orderly manner, behind these siege troops, a group of neatly arranged firecrackers were holding firearms, staring at the dilapidated city wall three hundred steps away, as long as anyone dared to wait on the road for the death of their soldiers.

A sword and shield soldier in a green stab-proof suit has just emerged from a ladder. There was a spear with a strong wind from the top to the bottom of the stab, the prepared sword and shield soldiers hurriedly raised the shield and tried to block, the metal shield and the tip of the gun after contact with a crisp sound, because the gun is very powerful, the sword and shield soldier who had nowhere to borrow strength fell from the ladder and fell heavily to the ground with a muffled sound. And before the owner of this spear had time to rejoice, he heard a few gunshots outside, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he looked down with difficulty, only to find that there was a big hole in his chest at some point, and he looked at the chest that had been opened. Before he could utter a word, he fell headlong and fell heavily from the wall.

Just as he fell to the ground, another shield-wielding sword and shield man climbed up to the top of the ladder and began to meet another spearman defending the city......

The offensive and defensive battle of Dadong's entrance was so fierce, and the casualties were so heavy. It's just that less than an hour later, less than 500 of the 2,000 people that Wu Sangui first sent to the city wall remained, and such casualties made the two brothers Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sangui feel a chill.

Looking at the Ming army that kept popping up around and the screams that kept coming out, Wu Sanfeng grabbed Wu Sangui's hand in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Second brother." We can't fight like this anymore, if we continue like this, the old foundation of our Guan Ning Army will be exhausted, so let's withdraw it! ”

Wu Sangui didn't have time to speak. A gloomy voice came from the side: "Withdraw...... Where to retreat, without the order of Prince Su, if any of you dare to retreat without permission, then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

As the voice came, the two Wu Sangui brothers looked back, Ao Bai's gloomy face had appeared not far from the two, the burly body and the long knife at the waist gave people a great sense of oppression, and behind him was a large group of heavily armed white flag sergeants, all of whom were looking at them with fierce eyes.

Seeing the arrival of Aobai, Wu Sanfeng's heart couldn't help but tighten, this Aobai is not a good stubble, the Wu family had dealt with him when they were guarding Liaodong before, this guy is a brave general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he doesn't know how much blood of the Ming soldiers has been rendered in his hands, and it will never be a good thing for him to come over now.

Wu Sanfeng swallowed his saliva and plucked up his courage and said: "Lord Aobai, we have done our best, our two thousand soldiers have only been guarding for an hour, and now there are less than five hundred, if you want to rely on these soldiers to hold such a long section of the city wall, it is impossible, and I hope that the adults will send reinforcements as much as possible." ”

"Less than five hundred?" Although Wu Sanfeng said it very pitifully, Ao Bai was not moved at all and said coldly: "I remember that there are 4,000 people under your command, and now only 2,000 people have come up, and there are 2,000 people for what are you keeping?" Waiting for the cubs? ”

Aobai's words are too hurtful, Wu Sanfeng almost didn't swallow a breath when he heard it, he blushed and wanted to argue with reason, but was stopped by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was deeply stopped Wu Sanfeng looked at Aobai and said: "My lord, our Wu family is right to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and now we are also courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, but I can't help but think about this group of brothers under my command, they followed us to the Qing Dynasty to find a way to live, and now our 4,000 soldiers and horses have been killed and injured nearly half, and it is worthy of the Qing Dynasty. Do you have to let us die a clean death before you are willing? Or is there something about our Wu family that has offended adults. So that adults have to go to us and die as soon as possible? ”

"You ......"

Now it's Ao Bai's turn to blush, and he picks up his kung fu to Ao Bai, the general who was killed on the battlefield, where is Wu Sangui's opponent, although compared with those professional civil officials above the court, Wu Sangui can only be regarded as an amateur at best, but compared with Ao Bai, a person who has never studied, he is too strong, and he forced Ao Bai into a corner with just two words.

At this time, Ao Bai was speechless when asked, nearly half of the 4,000 people have been killed or wounded, do you still want people to transfer all their strength, do you have to fight out other people's men and horses before you are willing to let go?

Ao Bai, who didn't know how to face it, simply pulled out the long knife, only to hear a crisp sound of "poof", and the steel knife more than one meter long immediately flashed in the sun. I saw Ao Bai say sharply: "I don't care how many casualties you have. I only want to ask you one sentence now, whether you will transfer the remaining men and horses to defend the city, this official has obeyed the emperor's will, if there is a disobedience to the order, he will not be respected! ”

Wu Sangui laughed miserably: "I have long known that you are going to run out of our generals as outcasts, but I didn't expect you to do such a desperate job, brothers, since the Manchurians don't give us a way to live, then we won't let them have a good time, come on, come over!" ”

"Whoa......

There was a burst of weapons around him. All the sergeants who could come around rushed over.

I have to say that although Wu Sangui's character is not very good, he does have a set of skills in managing the army, although he has fallen to this point, most of the soldiers under his command are still willing to follow him. For a while, Wu Sangui gathered hundreds of sergeants around him and confronted the 1,000 white flag sergeants brought by Aobai.

Ao Bai gritted his teeth with anger in his eyes and said, "Wu Sangui, do you really want to oppose my Daqing?" ”

"If you want to rebel, then you forced me!" Wu Sangui's eyes were filled with anger, these Tartars are too powerful, if all my men die, I will not be thrown away by you like broken shoes.

"Good...... Then don't blame me for being rude to you! Ao Bai shouted angrily and pointed at the sword. The soldiers of the White Flag behind him immediately killed Wu Sangui and the others, Wu Sangui and the soldiers behind him naturally refused to wait for death, and they all waved their weapons to meet them. A big war is about to break out.

"Stop me...... Stop them! Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and then a group of soldiers in bright yellow armor rushed over to separate the two sides, and soon Dolgon came under the crowd of Goshkha.

Dolgon's face was already sallow, and his face was even worse when he was angry. He glared at both sides and scolded angrily: "You idiots, when is it now that you are inconsistent with the outside world, and you still want to fight, do you want to die like this?" ”

Dolgon scolded so loudly that his fingers almost pointed to the noses of Wu Sangui and Aobai, and when they saw Dolgon coming, neither of them dared to say anything but bowed their heads and remained silent. Ao Bai was puzzled and angry in his heart, the order to suppress was given by you, and now you are here to be a good person, have you said all the good things and bad things, but we are not people inside and out.

And Wu Sangui was also bitter when he saw Dolgon's arrival, now there are only a few hundred people around him, and now there are at least more than 2,000 people on the city wall, if you really want to fight, it won't take a quarter of an hour to be killed.

However, Wu Sangui is also a single, anyway, the matter has come to this point, he also let go, he raised his head and said to Dolgon: "Your Majesty, now we have more than half of the casualties, if there is no reinforcement for the last general, this little person will die, please ask the emperor to be merciful and leave some seeds for the last general!" ”

Looking at Wu Sangui in front of him, Dolgon's face was cloudy, originally he really figured out what he wanted Wu Sangui and the others to consume, but after seeing the scene just now, he knew that he still underestimated this Wu Sangui, if he forced him to be anxious, he would really bite. If he joins forces with Aobai, he can indeed kill Wu Sangui's men and horses, but his own side will definitely lose a lot of men and horses, and the current soldiers and horses of the great enemy, who should be unanimous with the outside world, have begun to kill each other, isn't it a big joke, thinking of this, he immediately changed his original mind.

Dolgon said softly: "General Wu, Shicai is indeed doing something wrong, and I am here to compensate you." But at the moment of the great enemy, I think it is better for us to suppress the Ming army in front of us, otherwise when the Ming army enters the city, we will all die without a place to be buried. ”

Wu Sangui didn't understand this truth, but he just didn't want the Manchu people to save their own strength but pushed himself out to die, so he took a deep breath and said: "That's what I said, but General Shicai Aobai must ask the last general to pull all the men and horses up, and he will not send reinforcements until the last general's people are dead." Your Majesty, do you have such a war? ”

"I ......"

Dolgon was about to speak when a dull whistling sound was heard, and a cannonball slammed into them less than twenty meters away.

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, the flowering bomb exploded...... (To be continued......)
