On the fifth day of November in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Mao time.

The atmosphere on the city wall was unusually solemn, Hong Chengchou was holding a monocular, quietly, and many of the general soldiers around him were also holding monoculars, but in terms of momentum, these general soldiers were much worse.

The muzzles of a row of Hongyi cannons are facing the city wall, and the Houjin Tartars are mobilizing soldiers on a large scale, and everyone understands the scene, and the real attack is about to begin.

The city wall is as busy, the soldiers are constantly carrying bows, arrows, iron pots, wood blocks and stones and other materials to the city wall, once the golden tartar attacks the city wall, the boiling water and huge stones are much more useful than bows and arrows and arquebuses, and can kill and injure a large number of opponents who are attacking the city, it is a little regrettable that the north has not yet reached the freezing season, if the climate reaches the most severe cold time in 39 days, who is the best way to water the city wall, who is poured on it, after fusing with thin ice, it quickly freezes, forming a thick ice wall, The slippery city walls make it impossible for opponents to climb, and even ladders are not easy to erect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Houjin Tartars are ready to attack, presumably this attack is different from the past, this is the real attack of the Houjin Tartars, the purpose is to think about breaking through the city, the reinforcements led by Lord Xiong have encountered the resistance of the Houjin Tartars, so in a short period of time, we don't want to think about who will come to reinforce it, everything has to rely on ourselves, rely on many soldiers, we can only desperately defend the city and thwart the attack of the Houjin Tartars, in order to get rid of the current predicament."

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou turned around and raised his voice to all the officers around him.

"There are more than 100,000 troops stationed in the city, even in the face of thousands of troops, there is nothing to fear, as long as we are united and desperately resist, Houjin Tartar will not want to get closer to the city, this commander hopes that you will set an example. Encourage many sergeants to do their best to defend the city, Miyun Wei and Yingzhou Wei, this commander does not want any of you to have such an idea, and he will not succeed. ”

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were in a hurry at the moment, and the 20,000 Ming troops surrendered. The three of them went directly to do the work, and the purpose was to let the 20,000 people willingly take on the combat mission of attacking Yanqing City. This is actually impossible, the surrender of these 20,000 Ming troops is to want to be able to live, but they have abandoned everything and become sinners of the Ming court, and they have finally settled down, and they are about to be thrown into the fight, and they are clearly going to die, who would want to.

However, the fate of these 20,000 Ming troops has been decided at this moment. They were faced with the supervision of an army of 150,000 troops, and they would die without a place to bury at the slightest movement, and they had no choice but to accept the task of attacking the city of Yanqingzhou.

Kong Youde and the others were very uncomfortable in their hearts, although this arrangement had little to do with them, and it was not to ask them to die, and even to a certain extent, it protected the Han army under their command. But this arrangement clearly shows the psychological advantages of Dolgon and Dudu, the Han army is the Han army, it is the surrender of the Qing State, thinking that it has a good position, it is impossible.

Think about Fan Wencheng, who has a high degree of trust from Huang Taiji. It can be said that he was the first person among the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, and his wife was almost snatched away by Prince Yu Duoduo, which shows that the Manchu nobles will not treat the Han people as >human beings at all

In the barracks, Kong Youde, on behalf of the three of them, told the decision of Prince Rui Dolgon to the general soldiers of the Yingzhou Guard and the Miyun Guard.

Several of the general soldiers were wide-eyed and virtuous, not believing that everything was true at all. One of the general soldiers of Yingzhou Wei stood up and spoke indignantly, with the meaning of insulting Dolgon, they were the Ming army who had just surrendered, and they didn't know the strict hierarchy of the Great Qing State, and the Han people insulted the prince of the Great Qing State, which was a capital crime.

Before Kong Youde and the others could stop it, a bull with a white flag really pulled out the long knife on his waist and walked straight in front of such a general soldier, the long knife waved, and a stream of blood splattered out, and such a general soldier fell straight down.

The room instantly became quiet and bloody, and no one would have thought that this general soldier was ruthlessly killed because he spoke carelessly, without any warning, such a situation, placed in the Ming Dynasty, the possibility is not very large.

Kong Youde's face also changed, Niu Lu Ezhen killed the surrendered general soldier in front of him, this is a little unreasonable, it is said that Prince Rui Dolgon has asked the three of them to be responsible for all the persuasion work, just when he was about to speak, Geng Zhongming next to him pulled his sleeve, and Kong Youde, who understood it, could only sigh softly, you must know that Dolgon is the banner owner of the white flag, if such a thing happens, how can Dolgon reprimand Niu Lu Ezhen under his command.

The surrendered Ming army had no status, let alone how much dignity they would get.

Thinking of this, Kong Youde announced the order to fight again with an expressionless face, he didn't say anything, the beheaded general soldier was still lying on the ground, blood splattered around, this bloody scene was the best order.

At that hour, the rumbling cannon roared through the sky, and the earth began to tremble.

The city wall that was hit by the cannonballs of the Hongyi cannon was also trembling slightly, the wall bricks were splashing everywhere, dust was flying everywhere, and a small number of cannonballs fell on the city wall.

The walls were quiet, although the bloody scene was in front of them.

The artillery lasted a quarter of an hour.

The rumbling drums sounded, and the charge of the post-golden tartars began.

Ignoring the dissuasion of his own soldiers, Hong Chengchou walked to the battlement of the city wall and watched the Tartar charge with a monocular.

His body trembled slightly, because the charging sergeants, he was familiar with, these sergeants were dressed exactly the same as the sergeants guarding the city, but there was no expression on their faces, and they charged forward.

The Hongyi cannon on the city wall began to roar.

One after another shells went towards the charging team, screams and cannons appeared at the same time, where the shells swept, a bloody road appeared, and a faint blood mist appeared in the air, some sergeants felt fear and fear, turned around and retreated to the rear, they were greeted by more ruthless killing, the rear golden tartars who supervised the battle, some held steel knives in their hands, some held bows and arrows, and they were merciless to the retreating sergeants.

There was silence on the city wall, and all the sergeants saw this scene with their own eyes, this is the end of surrender, being forced to attack, there is almost no way to live, and retreating is not good, facing bows and arrows and steel knives.

Twenty thousand sergeants, like chickens and ducks, were driven in the direction of the city wall.

Their faces are written with fear, numbness and helplessness, and a trace of regret, knowing why bother today, after surrendering, the Golden Tartars, bearing infamy, and finally becoming the cannon fodder of the Later Golden Tartars.

The artillery continued to roar, and more charging sergeants fell, desperate enough to charge forward.

The faces of several general soldiers standing beside Hong Chengchou had already changed, it turned out that after surrendering, the Golden Tartars ended up like this, and the fact that they saw them with their own eyes shocked them, which also made them make up their minds that they must defend Yanqing Prefecture City to the death, and they must not let the Houjin Tartars break through the city.

As for the sergeants on the city wall, the feeling is even stronger, maybe among the sergeants who charged, there are brothers they were once familiar with, and now they are fighting each other, who caused such a situation, in the final analysis, it is those officers who are afraid of death.

A large number of sergeants rushed to the moat, and the ladders were built on the moat, and some of the sergeants stepped on the ladders in the direction of the city walls, and it was at this time that a rain of arrows appeared.

The rain of arrows and the howls of despair blend into one picture.

The sergeant, who was hit by the bow and arrow, fell into the moat, and the splattered blood soon stained the river red.

Houjin Tartar actually did not fire bows and arrows to protect these charging sergeants, and the charging sergeants were extremely demoralized, and no one thought of firing bows and arrows to defend themselves, they were already numb.

The smell of blood hung over all around.

The sergeants on the city wall, the taste in their hearts is indescribable, although they fought very happily, but unfortunately this is not a fight between them and the Houjin Tartars, this is tantamount to cannibalism.

Finally, there was a commotion among the charging ranks.

More than a dozen generals and generals who had been directing the charge in the back were suddenly surrounded by the charging sergeants, they were clustered into the middle of the team, as if they were trying their best to reprimand something, but they were immediately pressed to the ground by the surrounding sergeants, and their fists fell on them like raindrops, and soon they stopped moving, and some sergeants used the steel knives in their hands to begin to frantically chop more than a dozen generals and generals who had fallen to the ground, and more people raised their steel knives, and these people were instantly cut into meat sauce.

Some Houjin Tartars rode into the crowd, raised the steel knives in their hands and slashed indiscriminately, many people wailed and fell, I don't know who suddenly raised the bow and arrow in their hands, and shot at the Houjin Tartar on horseback, and instantly more bows and arrows shot towards Houjin Tartar, and the Houjin Tartar who rushed into the crowd instantly became a hedgehog.

"Brothers, horizontal and vertical is death, and after killing the golden tartars......"

The man who shouted this sentence may have been utterly desperate, but the sentence soon became a storm, and the sergeants who were charging forward all turned around and charged towards the camp of the post-golden tartars, they shot their bows and arrows, raised their steel swords and roared and began to charge in earnest......

The charge was futile, they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and a large number of sergeants fell in the charge.

Gunfire began to appear, and the charging positions had become a bloody hell.

The attack on the city wall had long been stopped, and everyone, including Hong Chengchou, silently everything, this living scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes, making them completely understand that only desperate resistance can have a way out.
