Chapter 246: Money goes to the casino, people go to the battlefield

When Wang Dalun was almost ready, Huang Taiji led his Eight Banners army to kill, but Huang Taiji glanced at Jinxian City, and gasped, only to see that the city was transformed beyond recognition by Wang Dalun.

The standard configuration of the moat is there, the river is not wide, it is four feet, just the distance that people can not cross, people want to rush over, must be to fill the river, or take a springboard, but no matter what method is taken, it is exposed to the long-range attack of the army in the city, it is conceivable that there are many people who want to die in this pass.

However, Huang Taiji is an old man who fights in war, he looked at it, and immediately ordered: "Come on, go around and catch some people and come back, and prepare to attack the city!" ”

"Huh!" The crowd replied, and then many of the horsemen separated, and they went in different directions. While others began to set up camp, looking at this, the siege of the city is a long-term process.

After the encampment was completed, Huang Taiji waited for a long time, no one came to reply, just when he thought that the other party had put cavalry outside and killed his cavalry, cavalry came back one after another, but they looked very depressed, and they reported that they did not see anyone.

"It's normal for the army to fight, and the people are afraid to hide in the mountains, and you haven't searched everywhere?" Huang Taiji frowned and asked.

"King Khan, we have all searched, but we have not seen anyone's existence, we are all experienced hunters, if there are really people hiding in the mountains, they will not be able to escape from our palms!" The soldiers immediately spoke.

"Go down first!" Huang Taiji will not get angry with these little soldiers if he wants to get angry, he said in his heart. If one group doesn't work, won't the others be found?

As the sky got darker and darker, the cavalry who had gone out of the country all returned, and the information they brought back was the same, and they didn't see anyone! Not to mention what food to find.

Huang Taiji was depressed, he thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Since the Han people don't have it, then let the nearby banner people come over to help and let them provide food!" ”

Several of the resurrected foreheads looked at each other, the most rear. They said cautiously: "I don't see many flag people." Listening to the surviving banner people, not only did the Dongjiang Army move all the food and people, but the houses of the banner people were burned, and there was nothing left at all! ”

"Smack!" Huang Taiji was angry. He slammed it on the table. He was very angry and said: "The Dongjiang Army is really vicious. He's trying to trap me and so on! When I lay down Jin County, I will kill them all and leave no one alive! ”

Huang Taiji's sudden outburst. The kneeling generals didn't dare to speak, they fell to the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads at all. When Huang Taiji saw it, he felt very upset, so he said: "Let me go down and continue to search, no matter who it is, bring it all to me!" ”

With Huang Taiji's order, the surviving banner people were unlucky, originally they thought that they were banner people, so loyal to Houjin, they didn't expect the Great Khan to reward them, they wanted to continue to live their lives, but they didn't expect them to become people's husbands, that is, the legendary cannon fodder.

In the grievances of the surviving bannermen, the next day, the siege began, and today's task is very clear, that is, to fill the moat, only when it is filled, the army can carry out the siege. After a night of scraping, Huang Taiji finally gathered a team of 2,000 people, and they were pushed to the front.

Wang Dalun saw it on the city tower, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought that our work of clearing the field was in place, but I didn't expect him to search for so many people!" ”

"It's normal to leave your homeland, but there aren't many Han people here, and most of them are banner people, so your work is still in place!" Tian Boguang said lightly on the side.

The people were driven by the Eight Banners, carrying the soil on their backs, and the people who walked in the front were of course the Han people who did not leave, because they were reluctant to give up their ancestral business, thinking that they had survived under Houjin's hands for more than ten years, they were unwilling to follow, anyway, they changed their masters, and they all had to pay for food.

So they disobeyed Wang Dalun's order, they hid in the mountains in advance, thinking that Houjin's army was coming, and they just went to hide, but they didn't expect that they were caught and arranged to be cannon fodder in front.

They cried and begged the Eight Banners to let them go, but it was in vain, their status determined that they would not receive the slightest sympathy and preferential treatment at all, and the Eight Banners whipped loudly, driving them forward.

In desperation, they had to go forward, and now their goal of begging for mercy has changed again, and they shouted to the city wall: "Don't shoot arrows to the soldiers upstairs, we are forced, and we are also Han!" For the sake of us all Han Chinese, please spare us! ”

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" Wang Dalun looked at it on the city wall, sighed, and then said: "I told you first, when my words are in my ears, now I remember that I am also Han, it's too late!" ”

"Pass my orders!" Wang Dalun shouted: "Whoever approaches the moat, I will be killed, don't let anyone go!" ”

"No!" The soldiers on the side shouted in unison, they didn't have the slightest sympathy for the people under the city, they all took so long to let you evacuate, and as a result, you just want to continue to be the slaves of the Tartars, and now the masters let you come to die, only to think that you are Han, it's too late!

The men who filled the river were getting closer and closer to the moat, and they were almost within range of the muskets on the city, and the musketeers and archers on the walls raised their weapons and began to aim, waiting for the order to fire.

Time seemed to be frozen, and the people who filled the river took mechanical steps, they knew in their hearts what was waiting for them, and at this moment, they wished that time could be stopped, so that they would never step into the death trap in front of them.

But their idea could never be realized, and as someone stepped into the range of the musket, a loud voice rang out in the city, "Fire!" ”

With this order, the person who was walking forward only felt a pain in his body, and then fell to the ground, and the voice of the Eight Banners supervising behind also sounded: "Rush over, fast, throw the soil down!" ”

The crackling gunshots kept ringing, and some people kept falling, and some people wanted to retreat, but the people behind were driven by the whips of the Eight Banners, and they couldn't help but be pushed to the front, and they were helpless, if they stopped, they would either be killed by muskets or trampled to death by the people behind.

As the first person threw the dirt he was carrying into the moat, more and more people began to throw it down, but too few people were able to succeed, many people fell on the road, and many who succeeded were also knocked to the ground when they turned around, and the sandbags they threw into were like throwing into the sea, without stirring up a few drops of waves.

Huang Taiji saw it in the back, frowned, and ordered: "Let them speed up and tell the people in the battle that if these people are not filled in, when they are finished, they will be replaced!" ”

Receiving the order of Huang Taiji, not only the people were desperate, but the Eight Banners were also disappointed, in order not to let themselves do such a dangerous task, they began to desperately urge the people, they shouted loudly: "Speed, rush over, throw it and run back, if you want to live, you can be fast!" ”

Wang Dalun watched from the city wall, and saw that the speed of the people's filling in the soil was faster, and the effect of shooting the guns was not obvious, so he ordered: "Attack freely!" ”

After receiving the order, the musketeers began to play freely, and the gunfire began to be messy, but the effect of the attack was better than before, and the people who were filling in the earth were knocked to the ground one after another, and there were fewer and fewer people filling the earth, and there were many more corpses on the ground.

The people were frightened, they didn't dare to move forward any longer, no matter how the Eight Banners soldiers in the battle were whipped, they didn't dare to move forward, this was purely sending them to death!

When Huang Taiji saw it, he coldly ordered: "Overseer the battle team, order them all to rush forward for me, dare to retreat the latter, and kill the former without forgiveness!" ”

Following Huang Taiji's order, the overseers showed their bright butcher knives behind the people, and they shouted: "Those who dare to stay after three counts will be killed!" ”

The people didn't dare to stay, so they had to rush forward, but under the suppression of the muskets, not many of them could successfully throw themselves into the river, and Huang Taiji saw it and couldn't help but order: "Tell them, throw the corpse into me!" ”

As the order was delivered, the surviving people did not care about the disrespect for the deceased, they carried the corpse on the ground, stopped the corpse in front, and pushed forward step by step, and the bullet hit the corpse, making people die and suffer again.

But it has to be said that this method worked, and the casualties of the people were reduced, at least when they rushed up, but as soon as they finished throwing the bodies and turned around, they were knocked down by muskets, and some of them were planted directly into the river, and those who fell to the ground were used as shields by the survivors, and then they were also thrown into the river.

As more and more corpses were thrown down, the river was red and stained red with blood, and there were fewer and fewer surviving people, and when they got to the back, some people just lay down, whether they were hit or not, anyway, they were dead left and right, it was better to lie down and rest.

The gunfire did not stop, until there were no more people standing on the ground, the gunfire stopped, in this process, Huang Taiji did not blink his eyelids, and when he saw that all the people were dead, he said lightly: "Mingjin, wait for a team of people to go up at night, and throw all the dead bodies down to me!" ”

Hearing Mingjin, some people who were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead hurriedly got up, preparing to follow back to the camp, but they did not expect to be killed by the overseers who had been waiting for a long time, and the corpses were left on the ground, it seemed that their fate had long been doomed, that is, to become a piece of soil in the moat.

As the Eight Banners Army returned to the camp, Wang Dalun sighed on the wall and said: "Go down a few people, if there are still alive, save them!" (To be continued......)
