CHAPTER XIX

Those ordinary people in North Korea returned to the Jurchen barracks. Holding their wives and children hostage, they cried and cried, and in return, the Jurchen captives hanging on the city wall were also dragged back.

The so-called "Jue Luobai Mountain" was also sent back to the city tower, the old guy is worth a lot, Li Xiao doesn't want to consume the old guy like this.

Hong Yihan was excited, when the Japanese invaded Korea. I don't use the North Korean people as cannon fodder, and the taste of killing oneself is too uncomfortable. I thought I was going to experience it again, but I didn't expect Li Xiao to come up with such a solution.

bowed vigorously to Li Xiao to express his sincere gratitude. Not only him, but also those North Korean soldiers cast grateful glances at Li Xiao. They really don't want to shoot their own people!

Gnashing of teeth is gnashing of teeth, and the battle has to be fought. Since they can't take advantage of the North Koreans, they can only rush up with their own people. Amin waved his hand and took the lead in attacking with a blue flag.

Li Xiao still has his arms straight, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his thumb raised high. Looking at the Tartar soldiers moving in the distance, these people cowered behind the chariot and kept approaching the city wall. Some of them were archers, others were armed with pickaxes, hammers, sledgehammers, and the like. These people are tasked with chiseling through the city walls!

Pyongyang's walls are made of bricks, and if you dig a large hole in the ground, it will collapse completely. The collapse of a city wall is often a chain reaction. If you collapse a section, you can chisel a large section along the way. Many of the cities of the Ming army were breached in this way.

Placed on a distance of about one hundred and fifty steps, Li Xiao gave an order: "Release!" ”

The artillery commanders struck the hammers of the trebuchets, and dozens of bombs with green smoke flew towards the Tartar formation.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" ......! One by one, the carts were blown to pieces, and the Jurchen archers behind the carts suffered heavy casualties.

Before the Jurchen infantry could wake up from the stunned state of being bombed, there was a "crackling" sound of firecrackers on the city wall. Countless lead bolts shot out of the chambers, and the Jurchen soldiers who were not blocked by the carts immediately poured blood from their bodies.

These Jurchen soldiers were all wearing captured Ming army cotton armor, a distance of one hundred and fifty paces. It wasn't a musket opponent reloaded with Mini bullets at all, and the cotton armor was pierced like pieces of paper.

Li Xiao saw that the heads of several Jurchen soldiers were hit, and the huge kinetic energy flew up with the Heavenly Spirit Gai. The froze scattered in the air, and when it fell to the ground, it looked like a tofu brain.

Before the arquebus gunners could fire a second shot, a platoon of flintlock muskets opened fire first. The flintlock pistol reloads much faster than the arquebus.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ......!

After a burst of gunfire, the Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground again. The flintlock bullets are rifled so they shoot more accurately. The dummy bullet was rubbed by rifling and then hit the human body due to the temperature difference. It will explode immediately in the human body, and large pieces of shrapnel will form an irregular cavity in the human body. As long as it hits the front chest, it is basically a 100 percent mortality.

Even if you hit your arm or leg, you will basically have your leg amputated. This lack of morality was once banned by the United Nations. But these days, where did the United Nations come from?

Due to the proximity, Li Xiao has a more intuitive understanding of the power of the dummy bullet. A Jurchen soldier was shot in the arm, and as a result, his entire arm was sliced open by shrapnel. Blood gushed like a fountain in the broken place, and the soldier howled on the ground and picked up his arm, and the screaming sound drilled into Li Xiao's brain more than a hundred paces apart.

For this charge, Amin made a bloody investment. At once, ten Niu Lu's troops were invested, and three thousand men roared and charged towards the city wall. The Jurchens fully showed their fierce side, and their previous victories were definitely not a fluke.

Everyone didn't seem to see their screaming companions, and they could only charge forward with their weapons held high. A group was killed on the road, and another group was killed by muskets. The rest of the people still stubbornly rushed to the bottom of the city, and the cart that was not damaged by the bombing went sideways. Blocking the rolling wood and stones that kept falling from the city, the Jurchen engineers began to chisel the city walls continuously.

Listening to the sound of "jingling" below, Ao Canghai smiled and ordered: "Release!" ”

The North Korean soldier immediately lit a bag of fifty or sixty pounds of explosives and pushed it down, because of the parabola. The explosives package all fell on the ground three or five meters away from the truck, and exploded with a "boom". Countless lead and iron nails are scattered and splashed everywhere!

This time it was going to kill you, and the engineers who were wielding sledgehammers were beaten into a sieve one by one. There were bloody holes all over his body, and the most unlucky one was a dozen shrapnel drilled into his head alone. A good head immediately turned into Saqima.

As long as there is a place where the cart is erected, there will be such explosive bags thrown down. The Jurchen engineers were almost wiped out, and those who were lucky enough not to die were wounded in many places, and they didn't know if they would survive until tomorrow.

The number of casualties is increasing at a breakneck pace. The corners of Amin's eyes were about to crack, since he led the troops. From Salhu to Abu Darigan, from Fushun to Shenyang Liaoyang. There had never been such a tragic siege battle, and it was no wonder that the 1,200 Hongjia Bayala troops on Kyaw Lo Pai Mountain had been defeated so badly.

A dozen men pushed heavy siege wagons with great difficulty, and under the cover of archers, they gradually approached the city gates. But just when he was close to the city gate, he didn't have time to hit it. Suddenly, a lot of smoking things fell from the city, and as soon as they landed on the siege engines, they began to burn violently.

The Jurchen soldiers, who had already turned red-eyed, even took off their armor in a vain attempt to extinguish the fire on the siege vehicle.

Unfortunately, I don't know what that thing was made of. As soon as it touches something, it starts to catch fire. The cotton armor did not hit twice, and the cotton armor began to burn.

Enduring the burning pain, the Jurchen soldiers continued to pounce. Another "10,000-strong enemy" was thrown down, and the whole Jurchen soldier began to burn. Hearing the terrible shouts, people's hearts began to shrink, and all the North Korean soldiers did not dare to look down.

The siege vehicle was burning, and along with the siege vehicle, there were more than two dozen Jurchen soldiers. They are brave, they are fierce. But they are not opponents of hot weapons, and they are still not opponents of chemical agents when they exert their muscle strength to the extreme.

"Amin! Let your people withdraw and come! Seeing the blazing siege engines, Mang Gurtai, who was known for his bravery, also had to advise Amin.

Who said that Amin hid his secrets in this attack, Namang Gurtai was the first not to agree. In addition to the positive yellow flag, the blue flag is the flag with the most ox records. Amin dispatched a third of his troops at once, but he didn't even have half a chance of victory.

The wagons were blown to smithereens, and the siege vehicles were burned into torches. As for the ladder, it's a nightmare for the infantry. No matter how tough a guy is, climbing the ladder to attack the city is a life and death.

"Withdraw your troops!" Amin was actually waiting for Mang Gultai's words, he didn't want people to say that he was a coward. The withdrawal of troops now is completely accepting Mang Gurtai's suggestion. And not they are cowardly with the blue flag!

A terrible trumpet sounded, and the soldiers with blue flags receded like a tide.

The process was exactly the same as when I came, first I was shot with a musket, and then I was blown up by a bomb fired by a trebuchet. In the process of withdrawal, a lot of manpower was lost.

In particular, the more than 30 flintlock pistols began to shoot from a distance of several tens of meters. Until the Jurchens were completely out of range, many people could fire five or six bullets. The flintlock pistol is much better than the arquebus. Even the worst shooter can concentrate at least two people with five or six shots in a row.

From the bottom of the city to the shooting limit, the corpses of Jurchen soldiers lay everywhere. Some of those who were not hit were still lying on the ground moaning loudly. There are also some strong ones, even if they are injured, they have to crawl back.

Li Xiao stopped his men from continuing to shoot, and it was good for the wounded soldiers to crawl back. At least the Jurchens had to take care of them, and the screams of the wounded soldiers were the best way to destroy morale. In this cold winter weather, there is no fixed barracks. It is very rare for a wounded soldier to survive one night.

Thinking of those white pole soldiers on the bank of the Hunhe River, the wounded soldiers of the Qi family's army. On such a cold night, no one lived to see the next day's sun.

Now, let the Jurchen Tartars taste such a taste.

The moment the Jurchens retreated, thunderous cheers erupted from the city walls. Hong Yihan raised his hands and jumped up like a child. The North Korean soldiers hugged each other excitedly, and for many years they rarely won battles. In particular, the number of victories in the Korean Army is very rare.

Today they actually defeated the powerful Jurchens, not only inflicting huge damage on the other side, but also suffering almost nothing of their own. Only a hundred and ten men were wounded by the stray arrows like flying locusts, although twenty or thirty were shot in the chest. But so far, none of the hapless people have died.

Miracles, that's miracles. Everyone cheered, and some even sang and danced.

Li Xiao looked at these turtles helplessly, and he got carried away when the city defense battle was like this. However, these Koreans can only fight to defend the city, and if they fight positional battles, maybe the Jurchen cavalry will charge once, and this side will be frightened and collapse.

Nestled in the Joseon royal palace, the trembling Li Liang heard cheers. Immediately jumped up excitedly, yes, it was a cheer of victory, "Victory!" Finally won. ”
