Chapter 223: Changing the Flag (3)
The generals of the Dashun Army in the city also thought that the Eight Banners would join the battle, and Ling Jingyang ordered the soldiers of the Iron Fist Battalion to go to the city wall adjacent to the south gate and the east gate, taking advantage of the condescending terrain to block the Eight Banners from entering the city to support the pace.
He also ordered Lao Mantou to lead the artillery battalion to the north gate for reinforcements, and all the soldiers, horses and artillery units of all units bombarded the north gate and the east gate to eliminate some of the Eight Banners in the charge.
Two thousand Eight Banners under the leadership of two leaders, respectively from the east gate and the north gate into the city, suddenly, Bo Luo heard the sound of cannons, this cannon sound is definitely not the cannon of Wuzhen Hachao, and then look at it, it is actually the cannon of the Dashun Army in the city to fire, the artillery of the Dashun Army is not much, but it is concentrated to bombard outside the city, taking away the lives of more than 100 Eight Banner soldiers.
The Eight Banners in the charge were not frightened by the artillery, they were still charging with weapons, and some of the Eight Banners rushed into the north gate, and continued the bloody battle with the Dashun army stationed here, and the green battalion soldiers at the north gate were supported, and their morale became manic, and they advanced step by step, killing the Dashun army and forcing them to retreat.
When they attacked the entrance of the East Gate, the soldiers of the Iron Fist Battalion who were ambushed on the city wall attacked with firearms, and they were instantly hit by a piece, and the soldiers of the Iron Fist Battalion each had three to four firearms, and after a shot, they immediately changed to another gun, and fired three to four rounds of gunpowder in one mouth, and the Eight Banners who hit were suspicious of life.
The Eight Banners soldiers who were lucky not to be killed all felt incredible, how could a group of soil buns in this Dashun Army have such powerful firepower?
Although more than 200 people were killed and wounded, the other Eight Banners still charged into the city without hesitation.
The three soldiers and horses were like nails, guarding the position to the death, fighting to the death with the Qing army, forcing the Qing army to never break through to the inner city.
The Qing army was blocked in the battle at the east gate, but it was victorious at the north gate, and the Murong Tu Department, the Wang Bao Department, and the three troops directly under the Lao Mantou led by Lao Mantou, everyone used all their strength to resist, but they were still advanced step by step by the Qing army, and they were about to be crushed by the Qing army in the defense of the north gate.
Suddenly, an army came out of the city, and the leader turned out to be Jiang Xuan.
In the battle of the North Gate, Jiang Xuan had already seen that the Qing army's attacking troops were the subordinates of the eldest brother Jiang Rang, and when the battle was at its fiercest, he actually saw Jiang Rang personally commanding the battle, which made him more confident, he led five hundred soldiers, and launched a surprise attack from the other side when the Qing army was advancing with all its might, targeting Jiang Rang.
The main force of the Qing army is attacking the city, and there are not many troops stationed in the rear, and there is no defense against Jiang Xuan from the city to break out, Jiang Xuan led an army of 500 people to rampage, killing and scattering the green battalion soldiers in front of him, and went straight to Jiang Rang's command center.
Jiang Rang's own soldiers couldn't resist, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Rang to retreat outside the city, Jiang Rang retreated while directing other troops to pounce and annihilate the Dashun army.
After a while, he retreated to safety, but he heard his generals say to him: "General Jiang, it seems to be Deputy General Jiang's person."
Although it was Jiang Xuan's troops, the green battalion soldiers just didn't kill Jiang Xuan, and the other Dashun army soldiers were killed correctly, Jiang Xuan's 500 soldiers were quickly blocked by the Qing army, and they couldn't move forward.
At this time, Ling Jingyang ordered all the gunners to be assembled, because the artillery battalion had been scattered to various departments before, but the gunners opened fire in a safe place in the city, and after a while, more than 200 gunners were ready to attack in front of Ling Jingyang.
This is Ling Jingyang's last available soldier, he and the gunners said: "Without artillery, you are also good, now it is time for life and death, follow me and fight a way of life together." ”
The gunners also knew that after the city was broken, the Qing army would kill everyone they saw, and instead of being slaughtered, it was better to fight with their companions, even if they died, they were not lonely ghosts.
Ling Jingyang led more than 200 gunners to attack the Qing army in the north of the city, and wiped out the small number of Qing troops that had broken into the inner city.
At this time, the Qing army was also about to reach the end of the crossbow, and Bolo had two or eight banner soldiers left in his hands, which was his last strength, but he thought that it was not yet the last moment, and he could not put it on the battlefield, and when the green battalion soldiers and the Dashun army were exhausted, they would kill in one fell swoop and clean up the battlefield.
He did not put the Eight Banners on the battlefield, but Ling Jingyang's last armed force, the cavalry battalion, threw himself into the battlefield without hesitation.
......
On the first day of the Qing army's bombardment of Weiyuan City, all the officers and men of the cavalry battalion lurked and waited for the rest of the army to support the main force at any time.
A few days ago, Wang Hong, the deputy lieutenant, led a small number of elite troops to roam around the periphery of Weiyuan City, and constantly reported the battle situation of Weiyuan City to Li Rufeng.
After getting the information, Li Rufeng no longer waited, led the cavalry battalion from Pingyuwei, and launched an attack on Weiyuan City.
The cavalry battalion rushed to the periphery of the battlefield in one breath, and saw the Qing army constantly rushing into the city, Li Rufeng and his subordinates roared: "Success or failure is in this move, sons, kill!" ”
Kill—
Li Rufeng and this group of men with the determination to die launched an attack on the Qing army, Bolo was still watching every move of Weiyuan City at this time, and the green battalion soldiers were reinforced by the Eight Banners soldiers, but they couldn't defeat the Dashun army.
The battle in the city was still scorching, which made Pineapple a little annoyed, knowing that this would lead the Dashun army out, and in the field, as long as the elite troops of the Dashun army were defeated, the other troops would be scattered.
In the street fighting in the city, even if it is a recruit who only became a recruit of the Dashun Army yesterday, he will fight with the Qing army for an inch of land, and there is no phenomenon that the elite troops are wiped out and other troops flee in despair.
Suddenly, a first-class guard hurriedly ran back from one side, he looked frightened and said to Bolo: "Bei Ziye, the Dashun army, the cavalry of the Dashun army attacked our army from the south side of the barracks, and our army's infantry army couldn't resist it, so please Bei Ziye retreat quickly." ”
Bolo hurriedly looked to the south side, and sure enough, a cavalry of the Dashun Army rushed towards the Chinese army, and hundreds of Qing soldiers were rushed along the way.
If he was another general, he would have fled with his life in fear, but Bolo was not afraid of danger, and said to a leader: "Taitu, you take people to the top, and the others will follow me to the city to support Jiang Jiu." ”
Bo Luo has seen a big scene, but he will not be frightened by Li Rufeng's hundreds of cavalry, after finishing speaking, he doesn't care about the cavalry of the Dashun army, and leads more than 1,000 Eight Banner soldiers to support Jiang Jiu.
Li Rufeng saw that the main general of the Qing army went to the city to support, and hurriedly took half of the cavalry to pursue Bolo, and asked Wang Hong to lead the remaining half of the soldiers to continue to fight with Taitu.
Tai Tu is also a fierce general, biting Li Rufeng to death, so that Li Rufeng can not chase and kill Bolo, Bolo led more than a thousand Eight Banner soldiers, smashed into the city like a meteor, and the Dashun army in the city could no longer withstand it, and there were faint signs of collapse.
