Chapter 82: The Battle of Gaoyang (2)

The Han army that landed on the city was sluggish, but their archers and musketeers were not to be outdone, and kept firing at the walls.

A number of wells were also pushed to the side of the city wall, and the wells were more than a foot long, and there were dozens of Qing soldiers on each well, and there were several archers.

The banner of the Han army has been in Liaodong for a long time, and it is not inferior to the real Manchuria in archery, and almost every arrow can hit a Jingbei army or Qingzhuang who is defending the city.

The Jingbei army and young men defending on the city wall were constantly shot, some fell on the top of the city, and some fell from the city wall.

"Swap shots and hit him."

At this time, the general artillery of the Jingbei Army had already been replaced with scattered shells, and they adjusted their direction one by one, and there was a fierce artillery bombardment towards the well.

Each cannon spewed out hundreds of large and small iron bullets.

The Qing troops clinging to the well were unable to dodge, and almost every time they shelled, more than ten people were hit by the cannon and then fell down from the well.

When Gang Atai and the others saw the sharp artillery of the defenders, he was also ruthless, and while ordering his soldiers to ram the charging car towards the city gate, he personally supervised the army to enter the city.

"Quick, give the cloud ladder to the top of the general, Lao Tzu will kill all these southern barbarians!"

Gang Atai is the fifth son of Li Yongfang, born in Liaodong, he has always dreamed of becoming a real Jianzhou warrior, for which he even changed his name.

Of course, his performance at the moment was not inferior to that of True Manchuria, and after giving the order, he personally jumped on a ladder and climbed towards the city wall with a shield.

The martial courage of the Counselor inspired the bloody nature of the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner, and they didn't care about their comrades who were constantly hit by cannons on their sides, and they rushed to the city wall with red eyes and screams.

"Quick, quick, use stones, roll wood, and then put lime on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu won't believe it, Dong Yu is really not afraid of fucking death."

At this moment of the battle, the casualties of the Qing army were obviously much more than those of the Jingbei army on the city tower, and the Jingbei army and young men defending the city were obviously much more courageous than when the battle had just begun.

Bags of lime were cut open by knives, and then pushed down from the wall battlements, and Gaoyang Chengdong City was suddenly filled with a choking white mist, which looked like a white ocean from a distance.

Whether it was the Han army flag that landed on the city with a shield or the comrades who were shooting at the wall under their feet, they were all choked by lime and couldn't open their eyes.

Many Qing soldiers' eyes were choked with lime, so they had to reach out to rub them, but the more they rubbed their eyes, the more painful they became, and tears kept flowing out.

The lime enters the human eye, and there is no cry, but once it tears, it suddenly becomes boiling, like a fire burning, and the Qing soldiers who are besieging the city cry wolf one by one.

Finally, the Han army couldn't stand it anymore and jumped down from the ladder, and the Qing army below who didn't have time to climb up rolled on the ground one by one in pain. Even Gang Atai, who is known for his bravery, has lost his way at this moment.

"Fire, fire!" The firearms corps is Yang Fei, waving his sword at the right time to issue military orders.

The Qing army in the chaos was attacked by countless large and small scattered bullets, and they could not open their eyes at all, unable to avoid the overwhelming blows of the Jingbei army on the city wall.

"Defeated, defeated, the Han army banner that was tormented in the white mist finally collapsed, and one by one they cried and shouted and retreated to the rear."

Abatai on the stage obviously expected this, since the rise of the Qing Dynasty, it has been helpless against the heavily defended cities of the Ming State.

It was not until Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others attached themselves to the Qing Dynasty and brought the red-coated cannons to the Qing Dynasty that the Qing army had the weapon to conquer the castle of the Ming Kingdom.

"It's a pity that we didn't bring the red-clothed cannon this time, otherwise Gao Yang'an would be able to block the thunderous blow of my Qing army, let Erlangmen retreat, and let Wuzhen Chaoha attack the general later, the general will not believe it, just a county town, why block my thousands of Qing troops."

Shi Tingzhu, who was on Abatai's side, rolled his eyes, and said to Abatai flatteringly: "General, the minions think that since we have captured so many Han Nikans, don't let us go down for a while, and the minions will drive these Han dogs to attack the city. ”

"Good! The thieves claim to be a state of etiquette, and regard our Qing Dynasty as barbarians, and they are going to see how they face so many civilians! ”

Abatai looked at Shi Tingzhu approvingly and said with a smile: "If Shi Dutong can break Gaoyang, General Ben will grant you two futures." ”

Shi Tingzhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Abatai: "Thank you for the cultivation grace of Lord Belle, and from now on, only Lord Belle will look forward." ”

Abatai waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "You go and prepare, and when Li leads Tai and them to retreat, your troops will launch an offensive, so as not to give the thieves a chance to breathe." ”

"Wow!"

Shi Tingzhu shouted his order, got up and strode off the platform, and a group of Wuzhen Chao Han army generals shouted: "Wait for the hurry to drive away the Han dogs, and we will go to attack the city later, and we must take Gaoyang today and capture Huang Wenchang alive!" ”

"Bell, bell...... Clang! ”

The Qing army camp sounded a rapid sound of gold, and the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner, which was baptized by lime fog, cannons, and stones, retreated as if it had been amnestied.

"Dong Yu has retreated! Dongyu retreated! ”

The Jingbei army and the young men who were defending the city immediately cheered, and they cheered frantically one by one.

The people who were responsible for carrying the materials dragged the Jingbei soldiers and young men who died in battle down the city wall with trepidation, loaded them onto carts, and then transported them to the corpse collection place in the city, waiting for them to be buried after the war.

However, the Jingbei army and Qingzhuang did not celebrate for long at the head of the city.

The Qing army's camp sounded again with a burst of horns.

The sound of drums and cannons urging Rao Yu Beile to urge the troops sounded again, and a team of Wuzhen Chao Hahan soldiers drove nearly a thousand people with long knives in their hands, and slowly pressed towards the east gate of Gaoyang City.

All the people who were driven away looked blank, and they were all ragged, like walking corpses.

The rear team of Wuzhen Chaoha was like the previous Zhenglan Banner Han Army, pushing countless shield carts, rushing carts, carrying cloud ladders, and following closely behind the people.

"These animals actually drove people to attack the city, Li Xingzhi, do you have a countermeasure?"

Sun Chengzong, the former cabinet assistant minister who was watching the battle at the head of the city, was angry and angry.

Li Xingzhi was also shocked at this moment, in his previous life, he had heard how the people of Jianzhou were murderous, and they had caused countless tragic massacres in the land of China.

The massacres they created in Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, Jiangyin, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Fujian, even exceeded the sum of the successive dynasties, and even exceeded the Mengyuan in that year.

Now they were right under their noses, driving thousands of civilians to pounce on Gaoyang City under their feet.

"Elder Sun Ge, since Li is stationed in Gaoyang, he must think about the tens of thousands of people in Gaoyang, if he is soft-hearted, Dongyu will break through Gaoyang, and then drive countless Gaoyang people to break more cities, so Li can't be soft-hearted, for the sake of thousands of Gaoyang people, Li can only kill him."

Li Xingzhi bowed his hand to Sun Chengzong slightly, and shouted with a solemn expression: "The whole army is on alert, shout to them, if you dare to approach Gaoyang, you will be killed!" ”

Sun Chengzong was silent, he is not a pedantic person, which is more important and which is more important, naturally distinguishes clearly.
