[Nightlight] Volume 2 Winter Song Chapter 265 The City is Broken

"Bang!" The iron ball smashed through the iron gate full of holes, and it hit the wall of the urn city, and the rubble fell down.

"Fire!" Kong Youde held his breath and shouted, his value is reflected in this place. Whenever the artillery battalion on the battlefield is more powerful, his confidence will be a little stronger. His status, wealth, and even his destiny were in the hands of the Jurchens. After a few years in Liaodong, he knew that not all Jurchens were willing to accept Han Chinese. Dolgon, the zombie-skinned Prince of Rui, didn't like the Han very much.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The artillery battalion position was shrouded in gunsmoke, and Kong Youde let out a few violent coughs. When the smoke in front of him drifted away with the wind, he saw that the gate on the opposite side had collapsed in half, and only a lone flag was left at the head of the city.

"Fire!" Kong Youde waved the flag in his hand non-stop, eager to knock out all the iron balls in one go.

Shuozhou is surrounded by mountains, unlike the Xuanfu Great Wall, which is empty, those highlands are natural batteries, and Kong Youde can choose the most suitable artillery position. The only regret is that the artillery brought into the Ming is too small and too small. The road into Shanxi is steep and rugged, and it rained a few days ago that the road was slippery, and it was difficult to carry heavier iron cannons into the blockage.

Half an hour later, the cannon fire stopped. After a quarter of an hour or so, it was confirmed that there was no more shelling, and the head of the city shook again. The defenders did not dare to stay at the head of the city to be shelled, so they could only hide under the city walls first, and wait for the Jurchens to come to attack the city to defend the city.

"Siege!" Abatai gave the order with an axe, and he wore three layers of iron armor today, and he wanted to take this opportunity to vent the depression in his heart.

The gate of the city was broken by an iron ball, and the wall of the urn city also collapsed a corner, and seeing the situation of the captives today, the defenders suppressed the panic in their hearts, and had a premonition that the situation was not good.

Archers pushed shield carts close to the city walls, and the Jurchens suppressed the arrows at the head of the city with precise long arrows. Abatai commanded the armor to rush to the city gate, and the battle axe slashed at the gate that was supported by the last bit of strength, and the flying sawdust slammed into Abatai's face, "Kill them!" Abatai slashed in a roar, unaware of the pain.

"Boom!" With a bang, the iron gate collapsed, and a large number of armor soldiers stepped on the ruins and rushed in.

The sound of scattered birds sounded in the opposite urn city, and the first dead soldier who rushed into the tunnel fell like a stake, dozens of tiny bullet holes were shot out of his body, and he rolled on the ground and screamed.

"Archers, archers!" With a wave of his arm, Abatai commanded the archers who had fallen behind to pass through the city gate to suppress the Ming army on the walls of the city of Weng. The two armies fought around the city with birds and bows and arrows in their hands, and the stone slabs outside the Yongdao crossing were covered by falling arrows after a while, and the lead hit the ground and "fluttered" and rolled.

"Shieldman!" Abatai urgently summoned the heavily shielded dead men to come forward in an attempt to attract the fire of the leading defenders. The sound of heavy footsteps of the Ming army running was heard on the city wall overhead, and they were also dispatching troops when they heard it.

The most elite soldiers and horses in Shanxi were taken to Xuanfu by Wang Pu, and those who remained here were some soldiers who rarely fought on weekdays. After defending the city for six days, most of the brave and good fighters died at the head of the city, and there was no defender in the city who could turn the tide, and most of the soldiers and soldiers were fighting by instinct and feeling.

The front sight of the bird gun is very poor, and it gradually falls into the wind in the mutual shots. The archers continued to shoot accurately at the head of the city wall of the Ming army guards, and after half an hour, the Jurchens rushed into the urn city like a tide, which was supposed to be the cemetery where they were slaughtered, but at this moment there were no Ming guards on the surrounding city walls.

"On the wall, on the wall!" Abatai pointed to the corridor of the city wall on the inside of the ruins of the urn city. The two Niu Lu took the lead, led the corporal to climb the city wall, chased and killed the defenders who were still at the head of the city, and faced the savages wielding long knives and blood-stained armor, the Ming army swooped down like moths to the fire.

The battle lasted for two or three hours, and the overall situation was decided. Shuozhou City was already vulnerable, and if it weren't for Dolgon's desire to lure the enemy, he might have been able to break through the city long ago. Wu Fu has enough gunpowder armor here, but it is difficult to find one. Following the capture of Fort Victory, Kong Youde's artillery battalion once again showed its might.

Most of the people in the city hid in the corners of their homes and covered their ears, their faces trembling with terror, and some of the brave ran through the streets, looking for an opportunity to escape from the city. When the Qing captives entered the city, more people poured into the streets and ran towards the four gates, but soon fled back, leaving a corpse along the street.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, a column rushed into Shuozhou City, waving flags for the knights, shouting: "The prince has a life, slaughter the city!" ”

"Slaughter the city!" The Jurchens laughed and shouted wildly, celebrating each other. The slaughter of the city means that everything in this city belongs to them, and there is no need to escort the Han people to Liaodong, and there is no need to hand over the looted money and goods, and whoever grabs it belongs to whom. After months of hard work, I finally got some rewards.

Men and young do not have to stay, women are their prey, and the city is full of fire. Dolgon specially mobilized the two white flags, the yellow flag soldiers and horses, and Abatai's troops who had fought hard in Shifuling to attack the city, and Shuozhou City was the compensation he left for the soldiers who had fought hard.

The city of Shuozhou was full of hysterical shouts, one side was the pleasure of venting, and the other side was the wail of crying blood.

Outside the city, Dolgon watched for a while, and quietly returned to the big tent, he had decided to march to Ningwu Pass after capturing Shuozhou, and see how long the Ming army could be a turtle with a shrunken head. If Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, is convicted for this, it will also be his gain. Originally, he didn't think much of Huang Taiji's middle strategy, but now he thinks that he can get rid of such a Xuanda governor, and he is far better than the property obtained by capturing a city.

In Shuozhou City, Abatai wiped the blood stains on the giant axe, and of course he would not compete with ordinary soldiers for anything with his identity. All around were reveling soldiers, blood pooling into small streams and disappearing in the crevices of the bluestone slabs.

He hung the axe on his waist and walked up the bluestone corridor to the city. The city was silent, and the soldiers who attacked the city first could not wait to rush down to join the carnival feast. Abatai walked carefully to avoid tripping over the corpses on the ground. Standing on a high place, with an unobstructed view of the surrounding scene, he naturally felt a sense of contentment and conquest.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped, and a cavalry in the mountains and forests to the west was hurrying towards him. The black flag was rolled up on the flagpole, and it was reluctant to see who it was, but it must not be the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.

"Enemy attack!" Abatai shouted as if he had been poured a plate of cold water over his head, but his voice was muffled by the revelry of the city.

"Enemy attack!" The scouts in the mountains and forests rushed out and rushed to the Chinese army camp.

There were 20,000 soldiers and horses who entered the city from the Qing captives, and 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the big camp excluding the Han camp. Half of them are partying, the other half is envying their companions, and it is the time when they are the most slack.

"Do you hear the screams in the city?" Zhai Zhe shouted hoarsely at the first word, he pulled out Qi Dao, his voice was half choked, and a thousand words converged into one word, "Kill!" ”

The people who scolded him in Shuozhou City were really slaughtered because of him.
