The silence of Horn Mountain was broken after dawn, and as the horn sounded again in the middle of the city in the north wing, the soldiers of the infantry of Xinyi Town, who were seizing the time to rest, once again plunged into a tense battle.

Judging from the momentum, the offensive of the Guanning Army and the Dongyu Coalition Army was obviously more fierce than before, and in the sound of the horn, the observation post of the Jingbei Army observing from the enemy tower on the top of Jiaoshan Mountain saw thousands of Guanning troops leaving the barracks, and those Manchurian soldiers who were camped under the northern flank of the city also moved when they heard the wind and quickly put on a battle match.

Different from the previous attack on the mountain, this time Gao Dejie almost concentrated all of the north wing of the city, and the more than ten Hongyi cannons were also pushed to the bottom of the mountain by the Dingkou in the city.

"General, my two sons died in Jinzhou, and there is only one grandson left in the family, for the sake of my family's old and young people working hard for the military master, spare the little old man, if the little old man dies, how can my grandson live."

"General, please, please, there is an old lady in the small family, and my father and brother are trapped in Songshan, and I still don't know whether I am alive or dead, if there is any accident in the little one, how can my old lady live?"

The more than 1,000 old and weak people who were requisitioned were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that the military lord who he had always regarded as his food and clothing parents would actually use himself as cannon fodder.

"Don't quarrel, the military master said, Jiaoshan is here, Shanhaiguan is there, if you can't take Jiaoshan, we will all be killed by the Shandong army, on weekdays, the marshal eats and drinks well to support you, now is the time for you to be loyal to the marshal, you can rest assured, the marshal said, as long as you obey the military order, your parents, wives and children, that is, the military lord and his old man's parents, wives and children, now carry out the military order."

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang......!"

A group of personal soldiers who followed Gao Dejie, after Gao Dejie finished speaking, pulled out their waist knives one after another, and looked at the Guan Ning army Ding Kou who knelt on the ground with hideous faces.

After seven days of offensive and defensive battles, Wu Sangui realized that if he did not consume a large amount of firepower of the officers and soldiers guarding the mountain, Jiaoshan would not be able to be defeated at all while their baggage had not yet been transported, so he had to requisition the Guanning army in the northern wing city, and use them as cannon fodder to cover the soldiers to go up the mountain.

"The little ones are willing to obey the command of the military master!"

"The little ones are willing to obey the command of the military master!"

The military households of the Ming Dynasty since the change of Tumubao, the status has almost slipped to the bottom of the society, to put it mildly, they are just tenants in the families of various military leaders, Wu Sangui as the largest military leader in Liaodong, he issued a military order, coupled with the soft and hard measures of Gao Dejie, who dares not listen?

At the same time as the requisition of the people, the Guanning guerrilla Guo Yunlong with more than 1,000 soldiers also set up a military formation in front of the formation, these soldiers are all warriors wearing double armor and drinking desperate wine.

"Woooooooo......oo

Accompanied by the desolate sound of bull horns, Gao Dejie personally beat the war drums of the marching army.

More than 1,000 people requisitioned from the North Wing City were the first to be pushed onto the battlefield, and behind them were more than 1,000 elites led by Guo Yunlong, and then countless long-range soldiers with bows and arrows and firearms.

The Guanning army clamored for nearly an hour, and the officers and men of Jingbei on the mountain knew that the Liaodong soldiers were about to attack again, but no one cared, starting from the new town to guard Jiaoshan, the Guanning army launched an offensive every day, but which time was not full of corpses, and even the Manchurian soldiers who cooperated with the battle lost one or two hundred people in a few days.

But when the Guan Ning army started this offensive, they unexpectedly found that the people at the forefront were ordinary people, even unarmed people.

"General Jin, is Wu Sangui crazy, actually driving the people under his rule to attack the mountain? Isn't he afraid that the soldiers below will turn against the water? ”

Qin Ying, the deputy general of Xinyi Town, looked at the old and weak women and children who were working hard to climb the mountain with a look of disbelief.

"Hehe, Wu Sangui is poor in donkey skills, it is said that he has 30,000 soldiers in his headquarters, and it has been folded by nearly 20% in the past seven days, but the marshal has given him a way to live, if it continues to be consumed like this, do you say that the generals under his command will be centrifuged and detached?"

Jin Sheng Hengliukou was born and was accustomed to the intrigue between the leaders of the peasant army, and in his opinion, if the Guanning army could be integrated for the sake of interests, it would inevitably change because of the internal interests.

"Then these people, should we fight or not?"

Qin Ying was born in a professional class in the end, and he still felt a little unbearable in his heart to attack the defenseless people.

"Hit, why don't you fight? Only when they are hurt and scared will they know the strength of our Jingbei Army, notify them, and when the Guanning Army enters the firing range, they will beat Lao Tzu hard. ”

Jin Shengheng categorically ordered, there is no room for mercy on the battlefield, if you don't kill them, they will rush up to Jiaoshan under the drive of the Guanning army, and then regain the initiative on the battlefield.

The frightened people were driven by the Guan Ning army in batches to rush to Jiaoshan, they had no weapons, only the leaders of the platoon were equipped with rudimentary wooden shields, they did not want to die, but the long knives of their companions behind them made them extremely frightened.

"Open the gun, scatter the bullets!"

Wang Chengzhu, the artillery team of Xinyi Town, who was born in the peasant army, shouted and gave the order to attack, and he had been fighting with the Ming army for many years, he was very familiar with this trick of driving the people and attacking the city, he knew that in this troubled era where human life was like grass mustard, if you are not ruthless, only yourself will fall.

In these days, human life is not valuable.

The musketeers and artillerymen at the front of the improvised fortifications began to load the ammunition and inspect the arquebuses on the orders of the officers. The thought of attacking the defenseless people made their scalps tingle.

"Rush up, for Guan Ning, for your small family in the city, for Lao Tzu."

Guo Yunlong carried a saber to drive the cannon fodder forward, his heart was also trembling, these people are from the North Wing City, to put it mildly, it is equivalent to his fellow villagers, the rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, but they have pushed them to a point of no return.

This time, it was not only the people who moved forward, but also a group of Guan Ning troops with bows and arrows and firearms on their backs in the crowd.

Driven by the Guan Ning army, the people who were used as cannon fodder had no choice but to cry and cry and climb up the mountain.

The people cried and cried for their fathers and mothers, crying sadly, and the Jingbei Army's defense line was quiet and abnormal, full of weirdness.

Finally, the people rushed to the range of the Jingbei Army's firepower, and then they heard a cannon shot, and then countless cannons rang out. The roar of the cannons drowned out the sound of the firing of the guns, and at this moment, nothing but the sound of shelling could be heard in the ears.

Countless civilians driven by the Guanning army were ruthlessly killed by the artillery, and iron balls bounced and fell in the dense crowd, bringing countless blood flowers and harvesting countless lives.
