CHAPTER XXXV

But the Liao army did not retreat, they actually completed another assembly in the shooting of the Ming soldiers, and in the assembly, one by one the Liao troops were knocked down by muskets, but the Liao army still did not retreat.

The shock in the hearts of the soldiers of the Ming army is unique, what a resolute decision.

The war was still going on, and after another assembly of the Liao army launched a second attack, the ladder was still erected, and even the destroyed ladder was erected, and the corpse was padded under the lame leg of the ladder, and a few soldiers were used to carry it to keep it steady, so one after another the Liao army began to climb upward.

The Ming army could no longer withstand it, and the iron pillar had obviously felt that he could not withstand it, his musket was so hot that he could not shoot, so he could only greet with grenades, but the grenades were used one by one, and after a bang, he could not coherently suppress the enemy.

"You. Come and resist, the Liao army is fierce, and a certain went to the captain to discuss. Tie Zhu beckoned his subordinates to come over and take his place, and he ran towards his superior, Captain Chen Yucheng, with his waist hunched.

The Liao army's arrows like locusts shot from the bottom up, although the damage to the Ming army was not great, but as long as the waist straightened, it was likely to become a hedgehog, and the iron pillar naturally did not want to become a hedgehog.

Tie Zhu trotted all the way to Chen Yucheng's garrison.

"Report to the captain, the Liao army is not afraid of death, I can't stand it anymore."

Chen Yucheng glanced at the iron pillar with disdain, and said angrily: "If you can't stand it, then jump down." ”

"Uh......." Tie Zhu was coldly gagged by Chen Yucheng, and he wanted to discuss with Chen Yucheng how to deal with it, but Chen Yucheng's words made Tie Zhu angry.

The stunned strength of the iron pillar came up. Seven years ago, even Chen Yanzheng and him were confronted, and he was still afraid of a school captain in this district?

"Chen Yucheng, I sue you. If there are no more reinforcements, and the Liao army rushes to the city wall, you will have to bear the responsibility. ”

Chen Yucheng glanced at Tie Zhu and said, "All command the envoys, no matter which battalion, put a Liao army on the city wall, below the captain." All beheaded. If you want, let it go. ”

After Chen Yucheng finished speaking, he turned his head and commanded the battle, leaving the iron pillar stunned.

"Beggar so. This is going to be the life of so-and-so. Tie Zhu scolded hatefully. But the military order was like a mountain, and after all, he ran back to his garrison.

When the soldier who replaced him saw him return, he asked boredly, "Captain, can the captain retreat?" ”

"The head money is a slave soldier. Is that what you're doing? "The iron pillar has nowhere to go. Just found a punching bag.

The soldier retracted to his defensive ground, not daring to say anything more.

"Listen up. All commanded the envoys, no matter which battalion, put a Liao army on the city wall, and below the captain, they were all beheaded. If you can stand the top, if you can't stand it, you can jump down. Tie Zhu shouted angrily. The hand picked up the musket that had cooled, and knocked down a Liao army that rushed to the waist with one shot.

The Ming army really couldn't stand it. The number of musket shots was limited, while the Liao army was unlimited in number.

Chen Yanzheng only arranged 20,000 people to defend in Wu and Confucian Prefectures, even if these 20,000 people were on the city wall, I am afraid that they would not be able to kill the attacking Liao army, and it seemed that it would be a matter of time before the city wall was lost.

Not only low-level officers and soldiers like Tie Zhu thought so, but even Chen Yanzheng thought so.

Baili Wuji handed over the command to Chen Yanzheng, and Chen Yanzheng had no place to vomit the pain in his heart. It's just 80,000 to 400,000, at most, it's just a fight to the death, and loyalty to the country is also the duty of the general, but now the emperors of the two countries are stranded in Yanzhou, in his jurisdiction, once there is a mistake, then Chen Yanzheng is the biggest sinner in the two countries.

Chen Yanzheng could only reduce the defensive strength of each state as much as possible, and deployed 20,000 people in Wu and Confucian, 10,000 people each in Jizhou and Yuguan, and 40,000 troops in Danzhou, which was due north of Yanzhou, and the north of Danzhou was Gubeikou.

Chen Yanzheng's judgment is that if the Ming army can resist the attack of the Liao army with the Great Wall, then the Liao army will choose to break through the two passes of Dushi and Gubei, and the monolith is far away from Yanzhou.

Therefore, Chen Yanzheng tried his best to keep the maximum number of troops in case of contingency. In his heart, he was nervous, if Wu and Confucianism were lost, the Liao army would form a flanking attack on Yanzhou, so the situation would be passive.

"Go back and tell your commander, if you want reinforcements, let them take their own orders. In a word, even if there is no one left, not a single Liao army can cross the Great Wall. Chen Yanzheng shouted sharply to the messengers sent by the commanders of Wu and Ru Prefectures to ask for help. Although his heart ached faintly, he still strictly guarded it.

But before the messenger returned to the battlefields of Wu and Confucian, the Liao army had already rushed to the city wall, and the Ming army had already started hand-to-hand combat with the Liao army with bayonets.

Tie Zhu was self-aware, and he used his body to fight hand-to-hand with the Liao army, that is, to find death, so he ordered his soldiers to resist the Liao army, but he secretly hid in the corner of the city wall and secretly shot cold.

In a chaotic hand-to-hand combat, none of the Liao soldiers noticed the storage of the iron pillar, which made the iron pillar kill ten Liao soldiers with ten shots, in fact, at this time, even the soldiers who shot poorly could shoot the enemy one by one, because the distance of the enemy was no more than three zhang at most, and they could even hit the enemy's body without aiming.

In this way, Tie Zhu didn't know that he had killed a few Liao soldiers later, and he originally needed to use this as a battle achievement, so he was very concerned about the number of kills, and at this time he had long forgotten about it, and Tie Zhu watched his soldiers fall one after another, and one of them fell down in front of Tie Zhu's hide, the soldier's eyes before death were looking at him, until he lost his breath, he didn't close it again, blood foam kept flowing out of his mouth, that kind of empty eyes made Tie Zhu have an urge to scream, and he felt his shamelessness, he began to hate his incompetence, only dared to hide in the corner and let go of the cold gun, the Ming soldiers on the Great Wall became more and more scarce, just as there were more and more Liao soldiers.

The iron pillar had stopped shooting, not because he was afraid of being discovered by the Liao army, but because the barrel of his gun was so hot that he couldn't fire it, and he insisted on loading it into the medicine pillar, and the consequence was to explode.

At this time, Tie Zhu found that in order to load more guns and bullets, the grenades he only brought had been thrown away when he was climbing the city wall against the Liao army, and now, the musket could not be used, and there was no long thing around him that could be used to kill the enemy, Tie Zhu looked around, but found nothing, and finally his eyes looked at the military thorn on the musket in a daze, and the thoughts before the battle poured into Tie Zhu's mind again, it turned out that he really wanted to kill the enemy with it? Or, use it to end your own life? (To be continued......)
