Volume 1 Chapter 36: Defending the City (2)

Quite a few Bao Yi began to climb up the ladder, Ling Jingyang was forced to give up the use of bows and arrows, pulled out a big knife, and slashed down one of the Bao Yi who climbed up the wall, and other soldiers also used spears and spears and other weapons to beat the Bao Yi who climbed up.

But there are too many people in the coat, cut down a batch, and another batch, Ling Jingyang keenly saw that the armored people began to attack, these people were more combative, Ling Jingyang gritted his teeth, at this moment, he understood that the so-called conspiracy could not play a role on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and only when the soldiers were strong and strong could there be victory capital.

The armored people began to ascend the city, and dozens of armored people had jumped in from the battlements, and the pressure on Ling Jingyang's defense was getting stronger and stronger.

Ling Jingyang frowned, he also knew that Lao Mantou and Dong Daqi were kind, but the other city gates didn't have many troops, if they came to support, wouldn't they give Jiannu a chance to sneak attack?

All iron wind, cold as iron and the two of them didn't say much, and brought the east and west soldiers to help, but Zhang Luofu, who was walking downstream of the city to support, shouted back, as the captain of the fire team, he could have him to support the south gate, and the other gates continued to defend to the death.

Under Zhang Luofu's shouting, the defenders of the east and west gates were forced to retreat, Zhang Luofu led the firefighting soldiers to come to support, he took the lead, a spear to kill a man in armor, and the soldiers under his command were even holding shields, squeezing to the battlements, squeezing while squeezing, and stabbing with spears.

The armor man climbed the wall to fight, he was already at a disadvantage, and was beaten alive by a new force, and the armor on the city wall lost the support of the armor man, and soon lost confidence, and was slashed by Ling Jingyang with the soldiers, and the head was cut to the point of bleeding, and finally the armor was beaten down.

Baoyi and armored people left more than 100 corpses on the city wall, and there were more than 100 corpses under the city, Jiannu's first attack was repulsed, Ganda thought that the Dashun army would concentrate its forces to defend the south gate, and the ambush soldiers he ambushed at the east and west gates could take the opportunity to sneak attack, but the east and west defenders of the Dashun army were stunned and did not support the south gate, it seems that the Dashun army in this city really has two brushes.

In order to vent his anger, Ganda ordered the first one to turn his head and withdraw to behead him, but in the dark, the generals of the Eight Banners who pressed the formation did not see who was the first to run back, Ganda was also happy, so he beheaded the twenty Baoyi who ran back at the beginning, and soon, the twenty Baoyi heads that were withdrawn at the beginning were cut off, and the other Baoyi trembled with fright, and the armored man was still expressionless, waiting for the next siege.

After the defenders in the city repelled the siege of Jiannu, everyone's face was filled with the joy of the rest of their lives, Ling Jingyang looked at the corpse of Baoyi, shook his head, he knew that these Baoyi were just cannon fodder, after the Qing army entered the customs, there will be a large number of green battalion soldiers with the Ming army as the team on the stage, and there is also the surrendered Dashun army, which has also been formed into a green battalion soldiers.

Ling Jingyang summoned Zhang Luofu and praised him, which made Zhang Luofu a little flattered, he used to be a Ming warrior, so he naturally looked down on Ling Jingyang and other anti-thieves, although Ling Jingyang was in charge of the flag, but there were more than 500 soldiers and horses under his command, which was not as good as a thousand households in the Ming army.

Before the battle, he regarded Ling Jingyang as a deputy thousand households of the Ming army, this time to repel the attack of Jiannu, Zhang Luofu's heart quietly changed, the first time he saw these anti-thieves, they are all iron-clad men, in the Jiannu army pressed the border, no one surrendered, and did not kill Baoyi, maybe this Dashun army is really the son of heaven?

Thinking of this, Zhang Luofu hurriedly shook his head, the true Son of Heaven is guarding the grain and grass in the city?

He and Ling Jingyang said: "Zhangqi, if this Jiannu is besieged but not attacked, what should we do, should we break through the siege, or continue to defend it?" ”

Ling Jingyang has a heart to save the Dashun army, five days later, the Shanhaiguan battle broke out, not surprisingly, under the attack of the Guanning army and Jiannu, the Dashun army was defeated and returned, returned to the capital, retreated again and again, and finally could not beat Jiannu, and actually went south to attack Zuo Liangyu, and the small court army of the Southern Ming Dynasty melee, causing the entire anti-Qing situation into a pot of porridge.

If the outbreak of Shanhaiguan is prevented, or if Li Zicheng knows in advance that the elite of the Jiannu Eight Banners has entered the customs, it may be possible to turn the Dashun army from defeat to victory and turn the situation around.

He and Zhang Luofu said: "Jiannu secretly entered the customs, Li Zicheng's army rushed to Shanhaiguan, and will face the attack of the two armies of Guanning Army and Jiannu, if you are defeated by Jiannu, how do you see the general trend of the world?" ”

Zhang Luofu is a martial artist, whether it is speaking or other aspects, he is from the perspective of Daming, he hopes that the Dashun army will be defeated by the Guanning army and Jiannu, but the Dashun army is really defeated, won't Jiannu enter the customs?

This is the front foot to drive the tiger, the back foot to the wolf.

Zhang Luofu was a little stunned, he told Ling Jingyang about his inner struggle with a hideous expression, and Ling Jingyang told him: "The top priority is to resist the entry of Jiannu, that is, to support the victory of the Dashun army." ”

"My lord, if the Dashun army wins, won't Da Ming die?"

"Daming is dead, there is still a small court in the south of the Yangtze River, and it will not die for a while, if the Dashun army is defeated, the army of Jiannu tigers and wolves will enter the customs, and the entire Beizhili, Henan, Shandong and other places will be trampled by the hooves of Jiannu horses, do you Zhang Luofu want the people in the customs to learn to build slaves, and the soldiers will wear Jiannu clothes?"

In the face of Ling Jingyang's cannon, Zhang Luofu was speechless, he looked at the soldiers and horses of Jiannu outside the city, and thought of the people in the Guannei surrendering to the Jiannu horseshoe, his heart was full of blood and blood, and finally he decided to support the Dashun army, but only to support the Dashun army in Shanhaiguan undefeated, and after the Shanhaiguan battle was over, he still had to take His Majesty to Yingtianfu.

"There are all Jiannu outside this city, how can we go to Shanhaiguan with such a few people?"

"So I'll let you figure out a way, how to defeat these Jiannu, and tell Li Zicheng the news of the entry of the main force of Jiannu?"

A thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Luofu's mind, and said: "There are only more than 1,000 Jiannu outside the city, how do you know that the main force of Jiannu has entered the customs?" ”

"Zhang Luofu, you are very smart, you also see that Jiannu will not let a small army enter the customs for no reason, there are fewer people coming, it is sent to death, only when the troops enter the customs, will the small force be allowed to go deep behind the enemy, cut off grain and grass, attack scouts and other tasks, in front of us this Jiannu army, why do you want to besiege Santun camp, have you ever thought about it?"

Zhang Luofu thought to himself, Jiannu really wants to cut off the grain road here? This is the key place that links Jizhou and Jizhen, where thousands of soldiers can be sent to Jizhou to block the grain and grass and reinforcements of Jizhou, and can also threaten the rear of the Dashun army, which is indeed a fortress that cannot be lost.

The historical knowledge that Ling Jingyang knows, will become more and more worthless with the passage of time, only the victory of the Dashun army in the battle of Shanhaiguan can fundamentally reverse the defeat of the Dashun army, the previous plan to defend the city, must be changed accordingly, Ling Jingyang is constantly growing, from the previous self-preservation to the forced change of the Shanhaiguan battle, are constantly maturing step by step.

But how to break through the siege of Jiannu outside the city, Ling Jingyang thought about it, and finally decided to lure the enemy deeper, open the city gate and let Jiannu in, ambush Jiannu in the city, and kill and injure Jiannu's living force to the greatest extent.

Ling Jingyang knew that most of the generals under him were tendon types, and they had to find a Zhiduoxing staff officer, and he was thinking about where to find such a talent, when there was a sound in the night sky.

Ling Jingyang saw at a glance that it was from the parade martial arts field, where all the grain and grass in the city were placed, and there was no room for loss, so he hurriedly rushed to the parade martial arts field with Zhang Luofu and others.

......

Zhu Youzhen was carrying a bird's gun, he couldn't believe it, he had just killed a person, this person was an old Shunjun soldier, and he actually carried a fire fold and tried to burn the grain and grass, Zhu Youzhen couldn't believe it, and asked him why he did this?

This person said that there are many Jiannu people outside the city, and if they continue to defend like this, they will die sooner or later, so it is better to burn the grain and grass and force the flag to surrender to Jiannu, maybe there is still a way to live.

Zhu Youzhen carried the bird gun and scolded him loudly, asking him to stay away from the grain and grass, this person is not afraid of Zhu Youzhen, a weak middle-aged man, he followed the Dashun army just to fill his stomach, but he didn't want to die, since Jiannu is so powerful, there are many people, and he can live if he votes for Jiannu.

"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, or Lao Tzu will dig out your heart." 、

Wang Chengen was not by Zhu Youzhen's side at this time, Zhu Youzhen looked at the approaching soldiers, his palms were sweating, and the soldiers of the Dashun Army suddenly accelerated, raising a knife to kill him in the heart.

Zhu Youzhen pulled the trigger suddenly, with a clatter, the projectile jumped into the soldier's body, and the soldier wailed in pain, Zhu Youzhen saw that he shouted heartbreakingly, and he actually mustered up the courage, picked up the big knife on the ground, closed his eyes, and slashed down with a knife, and the soldier suddenly lost his voice.

After Wang Chengen heard the voice, he was the first to run over, and saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was full of blood, so he hurriedly came over, touched Zhu Youzhen's body, and made sure that the blood was not Zhu Youzhen's, so he was relieved, and after a while, Ling Jingyang, Zhang Luofu and others also came.

Seeing a soldier's corpse lying at Zhu Youzhen's feet, he asked, "Leng Pang, what's going on?" ”
