Chapter 80: Taking Your Illness to Kill You
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards
"Repay the Great Khan! Our army has surrounded the Xilie Station, and when the Great Khan gives the order, Narah will lead the warriors to capture this fort and present the most beautiful women and the most precious treasures to the Great Khan! ”
In less than an hour, Meng Gelu led 30,000 Jurchen iron horsemen to kill, and Nalah reported loudly.
"Boom! It's time to saturate the warrior's scimitar with blood! With a burst of eerie laughter, Meng Gelu pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted hoarsely:
"Warriors of the Hada tribe! Ahead is the cowardly Ming Dynasty barbarians' tunbao, this group of guys defeated the warriors of the Hada tribe with intrigue in the morning, and now they are cowering in the tunbao, trying to stop your steps! Now with your scimitars, bows and arrows, it is taboo to slay all their men, feast on their women, and take away their riches! ”
With Meng Gelu's roar, the eyes of all the Jurchen soldiers were filled with greed, they were nothing more than a group of barbarians who drank blood with mushrooms and hairs, and usually only learned the methods of killing except for "making people". For them, the beautiful women of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, as well as those shining wealth, are simply unattainable godsends.
And today, as long as they give full play to their beast-like killing instincts, they can easily obtain these "things", and they instantly abandon all human etiquette, righteousness and shame, and become a group of red fruit chasing ** livestock!
The first to charge was a group of about 2,000 men, all ragged and barefoot, wielding rudimentary bows and sabers, riding inferior horses, and roaring towards the slanted stand.
These people are all slaves or sinners in the Hada tribe, and they usually live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs in the tribe. Only in times of war will they be given a brief period of freedom, using the most rudimentary weapons to go into battle and charge, depleting the enemy's forces and ammunition for the Horde, and if fifty charges do not die, then they will gain equal status with the ordinary people of the Horde!
"Cut! Fortunately, my brother snatched back all the Han slaves in the Hada Department before, and this group of crazy things actually filled with human lives! "Tunpu Shanghan Bian outside the wall slammed into the wall, watching this group of people step into the minefield and the bombed people turned on their backs, still without hesitation to continue to charge.
"Is Ben Khan a three-year-old child? Still use this old way to deal with the warriors of my Hada tribe, see me make you suffer a little this time" not caring about the life or death of these slaves, Meng Gelu said proudly.
Under the frantic onslaught of more than 2,000 slaves, the mines around the station were quickly cleared, and under the double blow of the mines and the artillery and fire of the defenders of the Tunpu, the 2,000 slaves were completely wiped out after the last one fell under the wall of the Tunpu.
At this time, Meng Gelu began to send the main force, and the 4,000 elite guards did not move for the time being, and concentrated 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to attack.
Some of these infantry were armed with scimitars, a few carried rudimentary ladders, and the cavalry charged at the front, tasked with bows and arrows to suppress the defenders on the walls.
As soon as they rushed to the bottom of the city, these ladders were erected on the city wall, and according to the height of the wall of the oblique station, the infantry would quickly climb up the wall and carve out a place on the wall, and then there would be a steady stream of enemy troops!
Meng Gelu sent this time is the cannon fodder troops in the tribe with their own weapons, armor and horses, and the elite troops are still not moving, but Rao is these guys have poor weapons and armor, but they are all skilled guys who have grown up on horseback since childhood, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than the four thousand elites under Meng Gelu's command.
"Hehe, tiger, let your brothers prepare firearms, you don't need to spare the medicine, give me a hard beating!" It was a pity that they were facing Han Bianwai and the dangerous mountain army equipped with sharp firearms, and seeing that the enemy's main force was moving, Han Bianwai immediately ordered to concentrate all the bird guns and suppress the enemy army with dense firepower.
At the same time, the eight 250-pound Fulong cannons equipped on the city wall, under the order of Han Bianwai, fired flowering shells at the infantry in the rear. The inside of the projectile was filled with gunpowder, and once the concentrated target burst open, countless shrapnel suddenly scattered and flew like flowers.
"Ahh As the shells fell on the crowd of Jurchen infantry, blood splattered everywhere, and countless Jurchen infantry were hit by shrapnel flying in all directions, and their heads and ears were directly cut off, their eyes were broken, they were beaten into sieves, their arms were blown off, and their faces were covered with shrapnel. Wherever the shells landed, they were accompanied by a series of terrible screams and wails of pain.
Under the organization of the little dog, more than 500 militiamen and more than 200 strong people, one by one, carrying iron shields or homemade simple shields, rushed to the city and used shields to protect the fire soldiers behind.
And those bird guns, with the help of this security protection, frantically shot at the Jurchen cavalry who entered the firing range not far away, and the dense sound of bird guns was like bursting beans, and the Jurchen cavalry who rushed over turned on their horses.
These soldiers were all battle-hardened veterans of the Red Flame Legion, and they worked in groups of three, one firing the guns, one passing, and one being responsible for charging and cleaning the guns, and they cooperated perfectly with each other, and the gunfire hardly stopped. After fifteen shots at each gun, the barrel of the gun is wrapped in a damp cloth soaked in cool water to cool down.
"Kill this group of barbarians of the Ming Dynasty!" Narah roared and ordered his soldiers to attack, while a large number of warlords were sent out to kill the Jurchen soldiers who were afraid of the Ming army and hesitated.
Under the threat of death, and at the same time knowing that it is a dead end to rush or not, these Jurchen soldiers were also ruthless, they let out a beast-like howl one by one, frantically charged, shot arrows, and did not even make any evasive actions, it was completely a desperate posture.
At the same time, Xilie stood on the city wall, because most of the people's "shields" were temporarily made of simple materials such as wooden planks, and it was impossible to defend the bows and arrows of the Jurchens very well, a large number of people began to suffer casualties, and even dozens of people with bird guns were killed, and the Jurchens gradually began to suppress the Ming army of Xilie Station.
"Good opportunity! Everybody give it to me! Capture the Slanted Lie Station! Seeing that the Ming army could not support it, Meng Gelu was overjoyed and immediately ordered Narah to lead 6,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 3,000 elite soldiers to charge, intending to win the victory in one fell swoop, while he himself led 1,000 elite troops and 8,000 miscellaneous soldiers to stay in place.
"General Han! The Tartars are all under the city wall, what should I do if I start to climb the wall" A knife cut off the head of a Tartar who climbed up, Wang Laohu asked eagerly with a bloody steel knife.
"Throw 10,000 enemies!" Han Bianwai also waved his weapon to join the battle at this time, and shouted loudly after cutting down two Tartars who climbed up one after another.
"Ten thousand enemies!" With a rush of shouts, hundreds of 10,000 enemies the size of watermelons or fists that lit the fuse were thrown by the defenders into the dense tartars beneath the city.
"Boom!" With a huge explosion that shook the earth, a large number of people crowded under the city, and the Jurchen soldiers waiting to climb the ladder were blown up one by one, and the ladder was also blown up.
"My Liaodong Iron Horse is invincible!" Before Meng Gelu could come back to his senses, he ordered the soldiers to continue to carry the ladder and charge, when a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind him:
Countless black-helmeted and black-armored cavalry, like a roaring black dragon, fiercely pounced on the back of the Jurchen army, and no one could stop them wherever they passed, and the nine thousand Jurchen soldiers were like straws without resistance in front of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, either being cut down or desperately whipping their horses and fleeing.
"Li Rusong actually came in person!" Trembling lips, Meng Gelu's face was pale and terrifying at this time, and only then did he understand: he was calculated by Li Rusong!
"Report to the Great Khan, something is wrong, thousands of Ming Dynasty barbarians raided the camp. Lord Sorento and his 1,000 warriors were wiped out, and the camp was controlled by the Ming barbarians! They are slaughtering all the people! At this time, a Jurchen soldier covered in blood galloped on horseback, came to Meng Gelu, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and cried.
"Ahh Li Rusong, this kid, he had planned to destroy my Hada Department a long time ago, and this war was his trap! Meng Gelu was cold all over his body, and said tremblingly, he never thought that he would actually send Hadabu into the abyss of destruction step by step!
"Li Rusong! I'm going to pull you on your back even if I die! ”
