Because Zhao Hongyu led the guards to the top of the city, their arrival stabilized the already deteriorating situation, and slowed down the offensive of the Guishun army, and at the same time made them unable to retreat temporarily.

However, the retreat of the Guishun army was done without receiving military orders, so the soldiers who ran back first were all beheaded by the Manchurian war officers who pressed the formation behind.

Beside the overseer, there were dozens of headless corpses, all of which were soldiers of the Guishun Army who had just retreated.

Another attack began, and before the attack, the regrouped soldiers of the Shun Army would glance past the Overseer at their comrades who had lost their heads and lives.

In the eyes of those soldiers of the Guishun Army, there was a sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Because they knew that if their attack was repelled by the enemy, they would definitely get the same fate as the owners of those corpses.

The Manchurians don't treat them as natural people at all, alas, in the eyes of the Manchurians, these people are just some cannon fodder.

The Shun army was very clear about this from top to bottom.

But clear to clear, clear to clear, they can't do anything about it.

Even, they have no way to resist at all.

Because the Manchus listened to the advice of those original Han scholars who returned to Shun, when they chose the Shun army, they were all people with families.

They fought as soldiers in the Manchu army, and their families were detained in Shengjing (modern Shenyang), the capital of the Later Jin Kingdom, once they were deserters and ran to the Ming Dynasty alive, then these barbaric Jurchen descendants, the current Manchus would kill all their families.

It is precisely because of such scruples that the soldiers of the Guishun Army have no way to escape the clutches of the devil and can only fight for the Manchurians.

Besides, they were driven by the Manchurians. He also killed his own compatriots.

As long as there is a first time, then the future will be very natural.

People always have to live, don't they?

"This time you attack, unless you die on the battlefield, or defeat the enemy! There is no other way out for you than to walk two paths, and if you retreat without permission, you will be beheaded without leaving any of them! ”

The Warlord shouted these words loudly to the soldiers of the Guishun Army as the Guishun soldiers passed by him.

When the soldiers of the Guishun Army heard this, they became even more silent.

Their faces were dead and gray. Under the reflection of the firelight, it looks extremely gray, and there is no normal person's face at all, which looks a little weird.

The 8,000 Guishun soldiers selected earlier had already killed more than 1,000 in the earlier attack.

This time, the Manchurians organized a team of 3,000 people and attacked again. At the same time, in the back, a second wave of offensive troops of more than 3,000 people was organized.

In Huang Taiji's opinion, if all these 8,000 people died in the city, then the officials and defenders of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be shocked. When the time comes, maybe your plan will be successful.

The cannon fodder will definitely be fearless of death under the threat, and their fearlessness will definitely scare those Ming defenders and officials.

Hey!

There is no need to send people to death, let those Han people who are like cannon fodder go to death. It's really nice to be able to get the effect you want.

Only someone as smart as himself can come up with an idea like this.

Looking at the entire Houjin Kingdom, it is impossible to think of such a good idea.

Of course, this idea also has to be thanks to Fan Wencheng, who is far away in Shengjing.

This was the unsuccessful scholar of the original Ming Dynasty. Sure enough, there are still two hits.

However, these Han scholars have too much bad water, and it is okay to use them. But it can't be reused.

Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle in the back, was thinking about some other things in his heart at this moment.

Under the city wall, there were densely packed corpses, and from their clothing, it could be seen that most of them were soldiers of the Shun army, and a small part of them were Ming soldiers who fell from the city.

After all, it is a fortified city, and the defenders always have to get some advantages and cheapness.

As the attacker, it is normal for the Guishun army to die more.

This is what siege warfare in cold weapon warfare looks like.

If it is put in modern times, there is no need for such trouble, just go through with a missile, and then this wall will collapse.

Standing at the head of the city, Zhao Hongyu looked at the lower part of the city.

Not far away, the repressed Guishun army team was holding torches alof, looking like sparks.

This time there were twice as many enemies attacking as the last time, and they carried a lot more ladders.

It seems that those Manchurians really made a bloody investment.

Wrong!

The other party didn't spend any money at all, but they had a good calculation.

Zhao Hongyu suddenly came to his senses.

Because he had captured a soldier of the Guishun Army earlier, after some interrogation, Zhao Hongyu got some useful information from him.

Therefore, he knew that the troops that were attacking now were Han Chinese in the Manchu army.

That is, the Guishun army that the Manchus used as cannon fodder.

For example, in this kind of cruel and tragic siege warfare, the Manchus will not let their compatriots come to death, so it is the most cost-effective to use Han troops.

After all, the population of the Manchu Houjin State is not very large, and the Manchu ethnic group is just over a million. If we remove the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and women, there are only two or three hundred thousand men who can take up the sword.

And among these two or three hundred thousand people, there is a discount, because among these people, it is not possible to make sure that those who are minors, or those who are over fifty years old.

In the Manchurian army, there were many soldiers aged thirteen and over fifty.

After all, they want to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and if they don't do this, there is no way to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, the men of the Houjin Kingdom are still martial, and they are all fierce. Even a thirteen-year-old child or an old man over fifty years old can go into battle.

Otherwise, Houjin would not have overwhelmed Daming.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Houjin Kingdom attaches great importance to the lives of the Manchurians, and it is easy not to think about losing.

You must know that the loss of a person is very uncomfortable for the Houjin Kingdom.

Who made them small in population.

There's no way around it.

In fact, the Manchurians are quite envious of the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty has a large population.

Even a lot of Manchurians want to. If only Houjin also had such a large population, there would be no need to be afraid of Daming at all.

Fortunately, Daming is only strong on the surface, but he is very soft in his bones.

In addition, there are many hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty, which gives the Manchurians a God-given opportunity to rise between the black mountains and white waters.

"Rush! Retreating is also a death, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable! If we die, we will die, and if we retreat, our family will suffer! ”

In the Guishun army, which was slowly approaching the city wall, I don't know who shouted at the top of their voices.

A poignant and desperate voice pierced the eerie silence of the night. Resounding in the field.

The soldiers of the Guishun Army, who were originally listless and as dead as ashes, suddenly trembled after hearing this shout.

Many people thought: Yes, I can't retreat, even if I die, I will die in the city. Where are their families still in Shengjing, if they can't do well here, it will have a great impact on their families in Shengjing.

Even, because of them, their families will lose their lives.

It has to be said. This method of the Manchurians is really useful.

It was precisely by virtue of this means that they made the obedient military uniforms obedient, and did not dare to disobey the military orders of the Manchurians. For the tasks assigned to them, even if they know that the Dao is dead. They didn't dare to refuse.

Even, under the harsh conditions and treatment of the Guishun army, there were very few deserters.

None of this is unreasonable.

Of course, there's a lot of credit for that. It must be remembered that those former Han scholars who took refuge in the Manchus, because it was they who provided Huang Taiji with such a method so that Huang Taiji could form such an army.

Especially the post-Jin Han humanistic official group headed by Fan Wencheng. They spared no effort for the rise of Houjin, and made great efforts to offer advice.

It can be said that these people are the most satisfactory people in the post-Jin country.

However, even if they mix well, they have to be inferior to them when facing the Manchurians.

And they don't know what to do, Huang Taiji has already begun to be wary and wary of them.

For the Manchus, the Han people were all slaves.

And the Manchu is the master.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Go up the ladder, the archers suppress the Ming army archers at the head of the city!"

"First team, up!"

"Second team ready!"

The soldiers of the Guishun Army are now determined to die, so their momentum has changed completely.

This made the Ming defenders at the head of the city feel a sense of unease for no reason.

Even, even Zhao Hongyu can feel it.

"Your Highness, the other party is already determined to die, and I think there will be a fierce battle next! Therefore, I think it would be better for your Highness to withdraw, otherwise if there will be a fight for a while, I am afraid that something will happen. ”

Hattori Chizuru, who was dressed as a female warrior and wore the armor of the Japanese general, proposed to Zhao Hongyu at this time.

Beside Hattori Chizuru, kneeling sat four Japanese samurai, who were also dressed in black Wakoku-style armor.

These four people are all kendo masters, there are two sword streams and Liu Shengliu, and now they are all following Zhao Hongyu's side as guards.

Moreover, they are all under the command of Hattori Chizuru.

"It's okay, these people can't cause me any trouble, my Great Song Praetorian Guard is not for nothing. In a moment, I will let you know that even if you have a will to die in front of our eyes, it is useless. ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled, turned his head sideways to look at Hattori Chizuru and responded with a smile.

Hattori Chizuru also thought that her persuasion could not move the crown prince, because she knew very well that this crown prince was still quite stubborn sometimes.

Therefore, I secretly decided in my heart that I must protect Zhao Hongyu well.

Afterwards, Hattori Chizuru glanced at the four samurai, which meant to tell them that after the battle broke out for a while, they must protect Zhao Hongyu.

The four Japanese warriors nodded in unison and replied.

And at this time, Master Wang, who was wearing Ming-style armor, also ran over at a trot all the way.

"Your Highness, the Jurchens have attacked!"

"Let the storm come harder!" , Zhao Hongyu stood there, raised his right hand and waved vigorously: "Bombardier prepare!" Musketeers with bayonets! (To be continued......)
