Section 56 Side Strike

Sweeping thousands of armies swept like a flank attack in the fifty-sixth section

The fort on the beveled edge of the fortress was the fiercest area of attack and defense on both sides, and the trench outside the winter fort also had more dead bodies than elsewhere. The recoil of the cannons made it impossible for them to be placed on the wall, so that the semicircular parapet of the fort on the side wall of the fort could not be higher than one meter, and the trench dug outside the small semicircle fort was not more than two meters deep, which made the wall of the fort relatively low, so there were more Houjin soldiers trying to climb into the Ming army's fort from here.

For the defenders, the small platform with the edge of the artillery bulk can also be used, it can also eliminate the blind spot of the fortress shooting boundary, the small semicircular platform that sticks out of the edge can accommodate several musket shooters, and the platform under their feet is suspended above the trench, and it has not protruded a few meters away, so it will not affect the shooting range of the horizontal parapet wall up to 50 meters long.

At the edge of the fort, several pikemen guarding the cannon stood behind the cannon in heavy armor, preparing for defense, and there were many feathered arrows on their armor and feet. There were also one or two musketeers half-crouching on the side of the cannon and firing downward, and in this battle, many of the later Jin soldiers climbed to the parapet wall of the fort with their companions, trying to disturb the fire of the Ming artillery. But these attempts were also thwarted by the pikemen who protected the artillery group, and the pikemen who defended the fort condescendingly pierced all the Houjin soldiers who climbed the wall, and the eight cannons of Changsheng Island stopped roaring from beginning to end.

Yang Yifan, the head of the fire gun, knelt on one knee beside the cannon wheel, and put the fire gun stick firmly on the semi-circular platform, he held the stick in one hand and the fire gun in the other, looking for the target. Yang had a few listless arrows on his armor, as well as a few throwing knives and throwing swords at his feet, but none of them hurt him. The most dangerous blow he had ever encountered today was the heavy head javelin that grazed Young's helmet and stabbed one of the artillery loaders behind him.

At this moment, the morale of the Jin army had begun to crumble, but at this moment, there were still people trying to climb up from the wall of the fort, and Yang Jiang had completed another shot, he turned around and took the loaded firebolt and carefully clamped the arquebus. Then another pair of hands climbed up to the wall, and a head peeked out from the middle of the wall.

There is no need to trouble the pikemen, Yang always gently flicked the firearm in his hand. The heavy hardwood butt made a large arc and smashed into the man's right chin. With a screeching crackling sound, the head's jaw was dented, and the head disappeared by the wall, and at the same time, a froth of blood and a few broken teeth burst into the air.

Yang shot again, and was about to turn to change his gun, when he saw a pair of hands appear by the wall, and he handed over the gun with one hand backwards with his left hand. In his right hand, he casually picked up a broad-bladed flying sword from the ground, and Yang always held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, bent his arm, and aimed the tip of the sword between his two hands. Before the man's eyes were peeking out of the wall, he stabbed him in......

When the central front of the Houjin army was facing the dilemma of retreating, Ao Bai still cautiously crawled forward behind the stones, and reached beside him, a total of thirty brave Houjin warriors, who were selected to sneak up on the flank of the Immortal Army.

Huang Taiji gave the leader Zhang Jing a very clear order, that is, to take this small group around the dangerous edge of the ice while the attention of the Ming army was drawn to the center. Quietly advanced to the position of the Guanning army on the flank of the Changsheng Army. They also needed to kill the defenders at a distance and create as much confusion as possible, and each of the thirty men had a flag on their backs, ready to use to create momentum and guide the attacking forces that followed.

That Zhang Jing succeeded in doing this, and he took advantage of the smoke of the battlefield and the undulating terrain of the sea to lead the fifty people, including Ao Bai, to advance in a staggered manner. The god unconsciously touched the depth of the rear side of the Ming army. In the past, dozens of people in Houjin were able to run after the Ming army of the brigade, although this rule did not apply to the Changsheng army, but it was still effective for the Guanning army. Huang Taiji is very confident in this.

Zhang Jing hid behind the stones, carefully spied on the movement on the cliff, commanded his men to touch the past one by one, there were few people, and there were few people, and the Ming army above had not appeared, this small group of people, their attention was attracted by the fierce battle scene in the center.

As stoic as a jackal, Ao Bai gasped for breath and moved inch by inch to the bottom of the cliff against the crack in the rock. There was no nervousness or haste at all, because he knew that the surprise attack was the most urgent. Slowly, slowly, Houjin's team slipped onto the Ming army's defense line one by one.

Ao Bai lay on the ground and looked at the Ming army in the distance, and they all turned in the direction of the gunfire, and no one noticed the movement of his team. It's so quiet on the cliff, whenever there is a gap between the gunshots in the distance, even the low discussion of the Ming army can be heard clearly, and Ao Bai learns the appearance of the leader Zhang Jing, inhales in small breaths with a slower beat, and listens attentively to the sound of his own heartbeat.

It's just that...... Although their movements had been as light as possible, after twenty people had come up, someone finally touched an unstable stone, which tumbled and fell from the cliff, and there was a series of clattering sounds, although the business was not very large, but on this calm cliff, it was tantamount to lightning and thunder. The Ming army in the distance was stunned and looked back here......

"Kill!" Zhang Jing, who was close to the ground, jumped up, and with a shake of his hand, he flew a throwing knife over, and when he led the Ming army, Zhang Jing had already pulled out his long knife and roared to turn the long knife into a full moon.

......

At this time, in front of and behind the defense line of the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island, the rout of the Jin army had become irreversible, Duolonga was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, and the whistling bullets shot out clumps of blood on the corpse on his side, and the eyes of a companion in front of him were full of crazy light, the man was drooling from his mouth, and he was desperately digging into the frozen ground with his hands, and ten fingers had been worn out, but he seemed to have no feeling, trying in vain to dig a hiding hole in the hard ground of winter.

The Ming army's musketeers kept shooting down at the crossfire nets of the fortress, turning the large area of wide trenches in the middle into the hellfire of the Houjin army, lying on the undangerous wall and watching the rat-like Houjin soldiers below rush through the trenches in a noisy manner, and then beat them to death like rats in the ditch.

Taking advantage of the interval of fire, Duolonga suddenly looked up at the surrounding scene, and then lay on the ground tightly, thinking about countermeasures, and the surrounding friendly troops were struggling to retreat, staying here and not running, even if they were not killed by bullets, they would be searched out and killed by the Ming army. Anyway, sooner or later, it will be a death, that is, no matter how big the risk is, you have to fight to go, and you must go.

"Calm down. Calm down. Dorona repeatedly admonished himself not to be impulsive, but to take advantage of the opportunity, and the fear in his heart grew higher and higher, and on several occasions he almost had to ignore the three-seven-twenty-one, jumping up and running away. But this affection was suppressed by Dorona, who swallowed a large mouthful of saliva and waited for a better opportunity.

The cannon kept ringing. Duolonga counted three times, and after basically confirming the interval between the Ming artillery, he crawled to the edge of the ditch on the spot, and when he looked up just now, he had already seen how the Ming army slaughtered his partners running on the passage. After climbing to the edge of the trench, Doron listened to the sound of cannons behind him, and counted in a whisper, comparing them with the numbers he had written down in his heart.

After hearing two cannon shots in a row......

"It's now!"

Dorona leaped to his feet and rushed out of the trench, counting the numbers aloud as he ran in a twisted diagonal line. Dust was constantly stirred up in front of the sides of the body. Dorona continued to run forward, his mouth still rhythmically reciting the number, and when the last number was pronounced, Dorona jumped and pounced on the low wall. As he plunged down the trench in front of the low wall, the roar of a cannon rang out behind him almost simultaneously, and in the blink of an eye, a wail came from beside him.

"It's safe. "Dorona sat in the trench and let out a breath.

"There are no rats left. Chen Guang has been lying on the wall for half a day, searching for targets, but there are fewer and fewer enemies to fight. On several occasions, the target was knocked down by friendly fire before he could open fire. There were quite a few Houjin's wounded soldiers on the passage, and they were still struggling to crawl out of the wall of corpses and pools of blood, and Chen Guang was too lazy to replenish his guns for this kind of target.

A Houjin soldier without a helmet suddenly rushed out in the distance, and Chen Guang aimed at the agile soldier once, but failed to hit.

"That's good!" Chen Guang cursed in a low voice, turning around to take the firearm that had been loaded for a long time, he turned around and saw that the Houjin soldier was running fast, jumping into the trench behind the low wall in a split second before the cannon sounded.

The wavy exterior walls and trenches make these trenches perpendicular to the walls of this or that bastion, greatly eliminating the need for firing dead spots. As the Houjin soldier jumped down the trench, Chen Guang and several people around him aimed at the trench perpendicular to their wall...... After this fire, Chen Guang did not immediately change the gun, and neither did the people around him, and these relaxed gunners waited impatiently for the smoke of the gun to dissipate.

Well, the smoke finally cleared, and Chen Guang saw the Houjin soldier lying on the ground, his eyes and mouth were wide open, and his mouth was still bubbling with blood, and the man was already dead.

......

Peng, Peng......

As soon as Ao Bai's knees weakened, he fell to the ground, and the countless Ming troops on the opposite side were shouting and rushing towards them, and Zhang Jing, who took the lead, fell a few meters in front of him. Their swift charge just now really frightened the group of Ming soldiers back, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Ming troops around them were like a swarm of flies, smelling the smell and swooping towards them.

Hit several times on his body he knew that he was no longer able to do it he looked at the faces of the ming soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that there was ...... Feeling joy and excitement?

Ponto, pun

After a few more firebolts, and a few carved arrows also flew over, and after these few blows, Aobai's body as strong as an ox could no longer withstand it, and he didn't have time to see the expression of the Qingming army, so he fell to the ground, and died, and a piece of silver dollars from Changsheng Island rolled off his body - this is a trophy that Aobai attaches great importance to.

A large number of noisy Ming troops rushed up, and they shot at dozens of corpses, and then they pulled out their waist knives to pierce the corpses, and many people who were late ran to the edge of the cliff, desperately picking their heads and looking around, and sighed with remorse. In the end, these Ming officers and soldiers who were looking for the enemy's traces turned back and fired a few more shots at their corpses, and then repeatedly stabbed their bodies with waist knives, trying their best to stain the blades with more blood.

Even before today's war, Huangshi thought that it would be difficult for a large group of Houjin troops to brave artillery to detour back to their flanks from the marginal ice area, but the Guanning army was all new recruits, and their courage in the face of a small army sneak attack or strong attack was very worrying. Therefore, Huangshi set a reward, but anyone who was within 10 steps of the enemy would be rewarded with a silver tael, and anyone who was 15 steps away from the enemy would also be rewarded with a silver tael, and anyone who fought with the white blade of Jiannu would also be rewarded with a silver tael. Regardless of whether there is a cut or not, ten taels of silver will be rewarded.

There are 500,000 taels of silver on Juehua Island, and if Guan Ningjun really dares to stand on the cliff and shoot 500,000 times at the Houjin army at a distance of twenty or thirty meters below, then Huangshi estimates that the people on the opposite side will not be enough to die. However, the generals of the Guan Ning Army still felt that this order was too rough, and General Yao personally stipulated that white-knuckle confrontations needed blood on the blade to prove that there was also a bystander to prove that the firing at Jiannu was also required.

The silver box that was taken out of Juehua's silver vault was placed behind the defense line of the Guanning army, and the lid was also opened, revealing the white silver ingots inside, and after killing Ao Bai and others, those soldiers immediately went to get the silver, and a fire gun and a knife were eleven taels of silver. Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, I can simply earn almost a year's salary. There is no need to worry about the sir's deduction of this silver, and the fineness of the silver ingots is also very good. It's better than the usual military pay.

"It's good to wait. The soldiers, carrying the white silver into their bosoms, walked to the edge of the cliff with great interest and looked around to see if there was any sign of the enemy. Some officers of friendly and neighboring units also came over with three-eyed firearms and shot at the dead body, and then stained their own waist knives with some blood. Finally, go to the officer's brother who is silver, go through the back door and get some silver taels.

......

The battle situation on the central front gradually cooled down, except for a few cannons still roaring, the Ming army's ground fire gradually stopped, in fact, even the cannons that were still firing, their targets had also turned to the defeated troops who were retreating in the distance. Hundreds of soldiers' corpses lay on the ground. There were also countless dead horses paved all over the ground, and the trenches by the walls were filled with piles of human and horse corpses.

The vast majority of the thousands of post-Jin officers and soldiers who rushed into the low wall did not find a chance to fight the Ming army at all. They were either blocked by their own people, or stopped under the low walls and trenches, and countless Houjin officers and soldiers drilled around in the trenches, trying in vain to find a dead end or a breakthrough to get out.

On the contrary, the musketeers and artillerymen of the Ming army did not stop firing for a moment, crossing the ground and reaping the lives of the fire net until there was no more target to fight.

A horse covered in blood walked aimlessly in the middle of the road, and its body also opened a big bloody hole, and the lonely war horse trembled all over his body, paced to the edge of the trench, looked at it, and then jumped down gently, and stood silently for a while, and then the horse trembled and fell to the ground, and twitched a few times with all four feet to the sky, and died without even a wail.

The Houjin soldiers who stormed the horses and the wooden fence were always scattered, and there was never a chance to pose a threat to the Ming defense line, and when they began to retreat, not only were there not a few pikemen behind the defense line sweating, but many felt that their limbs were frozen when they stood up.

From the loud sound of firecrackers to the gradual subsidence, Zhao Yinggong, who was standing on the command platform, never said a word, until the battle subsided for a while, he turned his neck stiffly a few times, and whispered to Huang Shi in a tone of disbelief and surprise: "This battle is won like this?

As soon as Zhao Tong's sentence came out, Huang Shi didn't have time to explain, and Wu Mu beside him laughed, attracting the attention of the people around him, and after Wu Gonggong was not in a hurry to say anything, he was full of ambition before he stroked his chest and said with a long smile: "Win - that is a long time ago, but this battle is not over yet." ”

After selling Guanzi, Gonggong Wu didn't pay attention to Zhao Yinggong's questioning, his right hand pressed on his chest, slid a few times, turned to Huang Shi and said, "Huang Junmen, hurry up and do the rest of the work." ”

Huang Shi groaned for a while, turned his head sideways and said to Yao Youxian: "General Yao is going to clean up the battlefield now, and this general is a little short of manpower......

Just now, when Huang Shi turned his face to him, General Yao immediately leaned over and waited for Huang Shi's order with all his attention. Now he was busy and agreed: "Yes, Huang Junmen is assured, the last general has already been prepared, and the axe hand dares to ask Huang Junmen how much?"

"Three hundred. Huang Shi replied briefly. He didn't want his subordinates to do this kind of tiring work, and their bodies were still very precious, and the Houjin army was still outside the land of artillery shots, and wasting the pikemen's bodies at this time was obviously not a good idea.

Besides, the issue of cutting the rank has been agreed with several generals of the Guanning Army in advance, and it is not possible for anyone to cut and count the merit in a unified manner. Huangshi is naturally not afraid of the Guanning army snatching the share of Changsheng Island, and the generals of the Guanning army feel that they are all Huangshi's soldiers anyway, and the officers and soldiers of Changsheng Island do not ask for the cutting level, so naturally follow their wishes.

"Yes. General Yao nodded, took a step back, turned around, put his face on a blank face, and ordered his men to come forward to help in the battle.
