Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The days of early winter were extraordinarily short, with gusts of cold winds blowing, scattered snowflakes falling, and corpses everywhere already covered with a thin layer of snow.
The icy temperature made everyone shiver. In addition to the coldness of the body, what is even worse is the coldness of the heart! Since the beginning of the war, the elite of the Qing army has been exhausted, attacking in shifts, without stopping.
In more than two days, at least 3,000 people have been lost, although most of them are cannon fodder and slaves, but it is also distressing. Those Ahabs followed the Tartars to fight in the north and south, and they were quite experienced, as long as they put on armor, they were the best warriors, and they all died under the breastwork.
Even the corpses didn't have time to clean up, and in the wind and snow, they all froze. The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the terrifying scenes that only exist in hell, appeared alive in front of them, and Haoge and Wu Sangui were both uneasy.
"Lord Wang, the brothers really can't stand it, this cold day, take a rest!"
"No!" Wu Sangui said without hesitation: "Right now, it is only two or three miles away from Ji County, as long as you break through the three breastwork walls, you can kill the city. ”
Wu Sangui said, but he also saw the laziness of his subordinates, so he could only turn around and call his henchman Hu Shouliang.
"Lao Hu, I'm afraid this task of overcoming difficulties will fall on you."
"Please rest assured, the humble post will definitely hit the county seat of Jixian County to share the prince's worries."
"Well, it's good to have that confidence." Saying that, Wu Sangui took Hu Shouliang aside.
"Lao Hu, what has Gu Zhenhua done. You are clear, and you don't say it far away. Take Brother Yang Ming, for example, he has died tragically at the hands of Gu Zhenhua. This king has a hunch that if he can't eliminate An**, it won't be long before you and I will die at his hands, do you understand? ”
"Humble duty understands!"
Hu Shouliang nodded vigorously: "Lord Wang, I understand my humble position, even if I just drop my head." I also want to kill Ann ** and eradicate this big problem. ”
"That's right, there you go."
Hu Shouliang immediately led the 3,000 troops of his headquarters to rush to the city, and at this time, the chest wall array was still playing a game of hunting and counter-hunting. Kang Lesheng and Tang Zhanxiong used the labyrinth-like terrain to continuously eliminate the Qing army.
Every gap is a good place to hunt, and no one knows when. A few bullets will fly over suddenly. The Tartars shuddered in the midst of this trembling fear.
Hu Shouliang did have a few brushes, and he observed from a distance, frowning. He could see that the front of the Qing army had broken through several breastwork walls, and it was not far from the city wall.
But this rush has no practical effect. On the contrary, Ann** is like a plaster with dog skin, which cannot be beaten back, dragged down, and moves from all directions, out of nowhere. Constantly attacking the Qing army. The more you rush to the front, the more you will be hit. The more dangerous it is!
If this trend continues, this chest wall array still doesn't know how many lives it will devour!
"Pass my orders, don't rush inside just yet."
"My lord, what should I do?"
"First tear down these breastwork walls, you can see that this wall is like water, the dog is a fish, as long as the water is drained, the fish will die!"
When his subordinates heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly gave orders. These Qing troops really adjusted their tactics, and a large number of soldiers no longer insisted on moving forward, but began to smash the breastwork with hammers, axes, shovels, hoes, and tools that could be used by qiē.
There are also many Aha pushing wheelbarrows to carry away the dismantled cement slabs and fill in the trenches. The ground had frozen, and digging for the dirt was quite laborious, but these loyal minions were still desperate, stripped naked, their dark shoulders covered with sweat, and truckloads of dirt were brought up.
The battle continued, and until dawn, Tang Zhanxiong couldn't help but say: "Why did the Tartar offensive weaken last night, are they afraid!" ”
Kang Lesheng was not as optimistic as Tang Zhanxiong, he stood up and looked carefully with a telescope, and when he saw the scene in the distance, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched.
"No, they've changed their ways."
"What!" Tang Zhanxiong also hurriedly stood up and looked into the distance.
After a night's work, the outermost broken breastwork had been swept away, and there was nothing left, and the entire breastwork was reduced by a third.
"Ahh What a ruthless tartar! Tang Zhanxiong immediately gritted his teeth, don't look at the broken chest wall, but the more broken, the better cover it is. They have now adapted to the feeling of fighting in the ruins. But now that the breastworks are all gone, it is equivalent to destroying their stage!
"W-what can I do about this?"
Kang Lesheng had a calm face, "What else can I do, we must not let them tear down the chest wall lightly, we have to fight back!" ”
Kang Lesheng immediately gathered more than 200 soldiers, they brought enough weapons, Kang Lesheng took the lead, and rushed towards the Qing army along the gap in the breastwork.
The Tartars they encountered along the way were all killed by them, and seeing that they were less than a hundred steps away from the outermost breastwork, at this time Luo Xiaoyu and the other grenadiers were ready, and they opened their arms one by one, and smashed the grenades one by one.
The Tartar, who was holding a shovel and pickaxe and pouting his ass, enjoyed a big gift package that fell from the sky. There was an Aha pushing a wheelbarrow with two cement slabs on it and trying to back off. A grenade landed right on top of the cart, and with a loud bang, the shrapnel smashed his chest and face into a hornet's nest.
Half of his face was gone, his ribs were blown up, and from the wound, he could even see blood dripping from his heart, and the guy fell straight to the ground.
There are also those who have lost their legs and feet, and their arms have been blown up, and the ghosts cry wolves, and they are miserable. At this time, Kang Lesheng rushed up with men and horses, and killed thirty or forty Tartar soldiers in a burst of indiscriminate shooting. Then they threw out the ignition on their bodies and burned the wheelbarrow and all its tools.
When Kang Lesheng arrived at this time, he stopped with satisfaction and slowly retreated with his people.
"Old soup, how are you doing?"
"Not good!" Tang Zhanxiong smiled bitterly and gave the clairvoyance to Kang Lesheng.
Kang Lesheng hurriedly picked it up and looked into the distance, only to see that from the direction of the Qing army, more Tartar soldiers poured out, and the number of wheelbarrows directly doubled!
"Hmph, these Tartars are the king's eight eating scales, and they are hard-hearted! No, I'm going to take people and kill them so they can taste it. ”
"Wait." Tang Zhanxiong hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo has just issued an order, tell us that we must not only think about destroying the enemy, but also protect ourselves, and if necessary, we can abandon the breastwork outside the city. ”
When Kang Lesheng heard this, he lowered his head, his eyes rolled back and forth, and finally said: "Old Tang, when Grandpa Guo said this, he felt sorry for us. But we can't lose his old man's face, I have a way to guarantee that these Tartars will suffer a big loss! ”
Kang Lesheng immediately made some arrangements, and rushed towards the Qing army with his men and horses.
At this time, Hu Shouliang also went to the front line with his personal entourage.
"Lord Qiyu, Minggou just attacked us, maybe they will kill us, please stay away for the time being!"
When Hu Shouliang heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Avoid? I'm here to kill them! Listen, immediately scatter and ambush, as long as the Ming Dog attacks, give me a hard beating! ”
"Yes!"
They laid an ambush in a trap, and Kang Lesheng led the men and horses to kill them again, still thinking about the same as last time, first the grenade blew up on the horse's back, and then rushed up in a hurry.
But just as they rushed out, Hu Shouliang also led men and horses to kill them. Gunshots rang out and bows and arrows flew in unison. Although An** killed many Qing soldiers, more than a dozen people were shot and fell to the ground.
Hu Shouliang's eyes lit up, and he was crazy, and he suddenly burst into a shout: "Ming Dog, suffer death!" ”
He grabbed his long knife and rushed forward, and the Qing army behind him followed closely. They had been enraged by the cat-and-mouse game, and now they were full of anger when they wanted to destroy the Ming army.
Seeing Kang Lesheng leading a large army, where could he let it go, biting his tail, these people pursued desperately. Kang Lesheng and the others fled in panic, losing a lot of corpses along the way.
Hu Shouliang's heart is getting happier and happier, his clever plan lured out An **, what a credit! Hu Shouliang, who was greedy for merit, ignored a qiē, like a mad dog, and chased after Kang Lesheng.
They ran through a clearing, and Kang Lesheng led the men and horses into the breastwork. Hu Shouliang followed quickly, but he didn't appear, just on the ground on both sides, someone suddenly popped out his head.
Luo Xiaoyu and the three grenadiers had already been ambushed here, they rushed out of the ground with the fastest degree, picked up the grenadier rope in their hands, and threw four grenades towards Hu Shouliang.
After throwing them, they didn't even look at them, and they all jumped down the tunnel as fast as they could.
Rumble!
The four grenades exploded almost at the same moment, and Luo Xiaoyu's one was the most accurate, almost the moment Hu Shouliang got into the chest wall, the grenade hit.
However, Hu Shouliang was a general after all, and in a hurry, he hurriedly lay down at the base of the wall. This hand allowed him to dodge the grenade attack, but his own soldiers were blown apart, blood splashed Hu Shouliang's body, and an arm smashed on his head, beating Hu Shouliang to all odds.
Hu Shouliang, who was lucky enough to escape, got up from the ground, but as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly felt cold. Just in front of him, there was also a tunnel opening, and the three musketeers had already pointed their guns at him.
"Die!"
The shot was fired indiscriminately, and Hu Shouliang trembled as if he had been shocked. Blood came out of the corners of the mouth, nose, eyes, and even ears.
"I, no, willing......"
Before he could finish a sentence, poof, the body fell to the ground. His soldiers fled in panic.
killed another general, Wu Sangui's heart was like being plucked, and it hurt to the bone marrow, but he still couldn't stop. More Qing troops rushed up, desperately smashing the breastwork.
An ** resisted step by step, constantly bleeding the Qing army!
