Chapter 908: Huang Taiji conferred the head
"Let's get here today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "The sky is getting dark, and the hit rate of the Ming army's artillery fire seems to be declining, Lu Xiangsheng immediately issued an order and temporarily stopped the attack, although he didn't look at the defense of Shengjing City, but he didn't think that he could take it down on the first day, and the result of today's attack was already satisfactory to him.
Look at the city wall of Shengjing again, after a day of baptism of fire, the city wall is already full of devastation, large and small bullet holes can be seen everywhere, the cannonballs smashed the city bricks outside, revealing the rammed earth inside, the battlements at the head of the city were beaten to pieces, it was full of the blood of Jiannu, the first day of the attack took the lives of thousands of Jiannu, as for the injured and disabled, there are more, with the current medical level of Jiannu and the reality of the scarcity of drugs in Shengjing City, the vast majority of them are only waiting for death, This is an even worse blow to morale than death, and there may be people who can face death calmly, but no one will look at their friend lying in a pool of blood with missing arms and legs and wail and remain indifferent.
The attack of the Ming army finally stopped, and when the sound of artillery fire disappeared, there seemed to be a short cheer on the head of the city, and those people seemed to be really glad that they had one more day to live, and Huang Taiji was also a little relieved, it seemed that Yue Tuo and Bu Mu Butai had one more day to escape, and they were a little farther away from the Ming army.
Dai Shan didn't mention the sneak attack out of the city again, he had already seen that the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners had been frightened by the Ming army, and they never had the courage to go out of the city and take the initiative to fight; Just a few years ago, it wasn't usually the Ming army who shrank in the city shivering? I didn't expect it to be their turn now, and the changes in the world are really weird.
Lying on the bed, Huang Taiji couldn't sleep, although it was silent outside, but his ears were still the continuous roar of artillery fire, even if he plugged his ears with cotton, it didn't have the slightest effect, and then remembered tomorrow's war, he was completely sleepy, and finally simply got up and put on his clothes, lit the lamp, and lay down in front of the desk to carefully study the map.
But no matter what method he came up with, he would be quickly defeated by reality, and after staying up all night, Huang Taiji did not come up with any strategy to get the Eight Banners out of the current predicament, and it was not until dawn that the call of the guards outside the door woke him up from this meaningless mental work, and he came to the city again to prepare to command the army to meet a new round of attacks.
The Ming army is still constantly attacking the city with cannons and firearms, and there is no intention to send people to attack the city, but to rely on sufficient cannonballs and ammunition to consume the Jiannu to death, this battle made the soldiers of the Eight Banners angry, and they can only be beaten passively at the head of the city and cannot launch a counterattack to make them depressed, but if they go out of the city to face the battle, but no one has the courage to look at the dense artillery fire and the sound of fire, even if they go out, I am afraid that they will be immediately beaten into a sieve.
Such an attack lasted for three consecutive days, Jiannu's casualties continued to increase, and the morale of the soldiers was gradually depleted, Lu Xiangsheng under the city finally waited for the opportunity he wanted, he slowly put down the binoculars, "It seems that the time is almost over, you can send troops to attack the city!" ”
"Lu Shuai is still too cautious, if he is the last general, I am afraid that he will start sending troops to attack the city the next day." Man Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I also ask Lu Shuai to hand over this task to the last general, and the last general will definitely take Shengjing City and dedicate it to Lu Shuai." ”
Man Gui still spoke so straightforwardly, but Lu Xiangsheng was not a stingy person, and he didn't take these to heart, and the siege of the city needed a sharp spirit like Man Gui, so he immediately responded, "Then please ask the Governor of Mandu." ”
Man Gui was overjoyed, immediately went down to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and commanded the army to rush towards the city wall, the commander of the eight banners at the head of the city saw that the enemy army finally began to attack the city, and hurriedly forced the soldiers to raise their bodies from behind the battlements with whips, trying to block the attack of the Ming army, but unfortunately the lack was immediately beaten back by cannons and firearms, and many casualties were added.
Using cannons and firebolts to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, Man Gui commanded the infantry to quickly approach the city wall, and the ladders were quickly erected on the city walls, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, one wave used the fire bolts under the city as cover, and the other wave of soldiers quickly climbed up the ladder to the city.
When they arrived at the head of the city, the surrounding Eight Banners soldiers just wanted to surround and fight with the Ming army and drive them out of the city, but the Ming army did not give them such a chance, only to see the Ming soldiers from behind their waists to find a black, round thing and ignite it and throw it over, and then burst into brilliant fireworks in the dense crowd, and the soldiers who surrounded them immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Explosions like this continued to sound at the head of the city, and for a while the whole city became like hell, full of the remnants of the Eight Banners warriors with broken arms, on the other hand, the Ming army took this opportunity to quickly gain a foothold in the city, and the steady stream of Ming troops climbed up to the city head along the gap they opened, launched an attack on the remaining Eight Banners soldiers, and quickly repelled them, and began to go down the inclined ladder on the city wall, trying to occupy the city gate.
"Good! Shengjing City is already in my Ming's bag. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise, and Man Gui had already pulled out his treasure knife and led an elite cavalry to guard outside the city gate, and when the city gate was opened inside, he immediately commanded the army to rush in and completely solve the remaining resistance in the city.
"Boom!" Hearing only a bang, the city gate of the south gate of Shengjing City was reduced to pieces, and a smooth road appeared in front of Man Gui.
"Sons, rush into the city with me!" Man Gui's face flushed with excitement, and he rushed to the front first, followed by thousands of elite cavalrymen wearing cuirass and armed with steel sabers.
"Great Khan, let's go, Shengjing City can't hold it anymore." Several guards dragged Huang Taiji onto his horse and prepared to rush towards the north gate, which had not yet been surrounded by the Ming army.
It's a pity that now Man Gui's cavalry has come to the city, and those guards forgot to change Huang Taiji's clothes in a hurry, they were soon discovered by Man Gui, and they immediately fell into the pursuit of the Ming army.
"Khan go quickly." Several guards tried to use their lives to buy a little time for Huang Taiji, but their men and horses could not delay Man Gui's pursuit at all, and they were soon trampled into pulp by Man Gui's cavalry.
It seems that I am afraid that I am going to die here this time, I hope that Yue Tuo and Bu Mu Butai have fled far away, and Huang Taiji saw that he could not escape, so he simply stopped his steps, pulled out his waist knife and tried to commit suicide.
But Man Gui was willing to give him this opportunity, urging the BMW under his crotch to rush forward like lightning, his hand was up and down, and Huang Taiji's head flew into the sky.
