Chapter 180
Lin Kewang's threat was very effective, and as a fellow Han Chinese, he understood the importance of succession to the Han people. When you hit the idea on your son, Lao Tzu has no choice.
Another group of death squads was formed, but this time there was no drum beat. Dorgon is a smart man and will never trip over a rock twice.
But the collective action of thousands of people to remain silent is impossible.
When Yuan Chonghuan heard the noisy human voices, he immediately ordered the fireworks to be lifted into the air. The brilliant fireworks exploded again, and a dense crowd appeared below.
The platoon guns rang out again, it was a replica of the last time. These Han slaves are the rats in the bellows. Forwards were killed by bullets from the Ming army, and backwards were shot by Jurchen Tartars, or chased and slashed by cavalry.
Anyway, in less than half an hour, there were more than 2,000 more corpses on the ground.
More than 4,000 people had died, but Dorgon still didn't care. Han Chinese slaves are just slaves, the Great Khan said, it doesn't matter how many you die. He only needs Jinzhou City!
In this way, one layer of death and one layer of death, and the next layer of death. Dolgon seemed to be on a par with Yuan Chonghuan, and he fought with him under the northern city. Han slaves were sent in batches, and after they died, a group was organized.
"Bring all the fireworks to the North City!" Fireworks are being consumed dramatically. I wanted to save it, but as long as the fireworks at the head of the city didn't emit. The gunners can't see the target clearly!
"Lord Yuan, this is not a solution. It is better to send the cavalry out and burn those things with fire oil. I looked at it for a long time, and the top of those things was iron, but the bottom was all wood. ”
There are too many people who have died, so many that Zu Dashou, who has been in the army for many years, can't stand it. In order to reduce the death of Han slaves, and to solve the problem once and for all, Zu Dashou thought of going out of the city and burning those things.
"No! The fireworks could only illuminate a hundred and ten paces away from the city walls, and the farther ones were invisible. I bet you, there's going to be a red-haired man's firecracker waiting in the dark. As soon as your cavalry leaves the city, they will be shot like targets. In the end, no one may come back! ”
Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the dark place in the distance, where he had been training troops on Changxing Island for more than half a year. Ao Canghai told him a lot about the previous wars, and Yuan Chonghuan still knew a little about musket tactics.
Looking at the darkness in the distance, Zu Dashou didn't speak. Sympathy for the people below is sympathy, but he doesn't want to sympathize with his brother's life.
What Yuan Chonghuan said is likely to be true, almost all of the casualties this afternoon were caused by the red-haired soldiers. Artillery, birds, and these things were originally their forte.
Zu Dashou, who was helpless, could only listen to the crackling gunshots, and then watched one after another Han people fall on the cold ground in front of Jinzhou City.
The north wind was blowing colder and colder, and Zu Dashou felt a chill on his face. When I looked up, I saw that snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and the snow was not very heavy. But the snowflakes fluttered and didn't listen to the fall, and were blown by the wind and poured into the neck and collar of the person.
This is the first snow of the year, but unfortunately it is only snow in winter. If it was summer, when the pouring rain fell, the two sides would have to truce.
"How good this snow is two days early!" Yuan Chonghuan shook his head. Ice and snow are the worst enemy of cavalry, and even the best horses cannot run in the snow.
Although they did not have the ability to fight field battles with the Jurchen Tartars, if the city wall was broken, the horses would have more time to prepare if they ran slower, although that time was very short.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a little more time is always good.
"Then sprinkle the water, and hopefully the ice under the walls will be thicker." Yuan Chonghuan This is the most helpless way, he knows that no matter how thick the ice is, it can't last long.
After a day of bombardment, the walls of Jinzhou City, especially the northern city, were already full of holes. Collapse is only a matter of time! Obstacles to street fighting, planted explosives, and so on were being laid in the city overnight. Fighting in the streets, Yuan Chonghuan is mentally prepared for this.
Dolgon sat on his horse, looking at the steaming north city without any hurry. The three watches have passed, and the winter dawns late, and I still have time.
Lin Kewang was already numb, and he used all kinds of methods to send more than 10,000 people to the Shura Slaughterhouse this night. These people are now lying on the ground, covered in snowflakes from the sky. It was only an hour before and after, and it had turned into one white bulge after another. Even the crimson snow is covered in snow.
"Get another 2,000 people up!" When the Han Chinese slaves were slaughtered again, Dorgon repeated the last sentence.
"Huh!"
One night, the northern city was lively and lively, but the southern city was silent. Not only because it is opposite to Beicheng, but also because it is close to the Ming Dynasty. Although Jinzhou City has been surrounded by the Tartar Corps, there are still some psychological advantages on the side close to the Ming Dynasty. After all, this is where reinforcements are coming from.
"My lord, did you say that the Overseer would send reinforcements?" The adjutant general accompanied He Kegang on patrol, and when he saw that the direction of Daming was dark, he asked with worry.
"It should come, our tens of thousands of people are finished, and he Li Xiao shouldn't think about it. With his thousands of soldiers, it is impossible to hold such a long Shanhaiguan defense line.
Once the Tatars broke through the Shanhai Pass and appeared around Gyeonggi. He Li Xiao has no second way to go except to apologize for his crimes with death. He Kegang replied firmly.
"I think so!" Although the adjutant general nodded, he was still suspicious in his heart.
"Why don't you throw straw down the city?" In order to ensure that there are no Tartar soldiers under the city, they will forget about throwing a bundle of straw that is lit under the city every once in a while. Anyway, after the harvest, there are so many of these things.
"Uh......!" The adjutant general's face turned red.
"Dashuai, it's freezing and snowing this day. Tossing until midnight, the brothers are also cold! The straw was taken by the brothers to the arrow tower to be burned for warmth, and you see that day, the brothers were really bitter. "A petty officer with a general appearance, at first glance he had the courage to report to He Kegang.
"Dashuai, the Tartars have been making trouble in the North City. It's still peaceful here, so let's give the brothers a rest. There's still a tough battle to fight tomorrow! The lieutenant also interceded for his men.
He Kegang looked at the snowy sky, rubbed his frozen and numb face, and didn't speak. In this ghost weather in Liaodong, the dog froze to death. Dogs are freezing to death, let alone people. The roasting fire is really no problem.
Even if he didn't speak, even if he acquiesced, the adjutant general and the group of petty officers breathed a sigh of relief.
As I walked, I saw that this section of the city wall was unguarded. In the arrow tower not far away, there was a sound of laughter.
The adjutant's face was ugly at that time, and the little officer accompanying him was so frightened that his face was pale. These bastards, let them roast the fire, and now they don't even have people.
The arrow tower was crowded with people, and they were making a lot of noise. A guy in the middle is talking about his experience of prostituting in Shanhaiguan. The people next to him listened with relish, and from time to time they could hear the sound of swallowing saliva.
I don't know who saw He Kegang standing at the door with a gloomy face. Immediately exclaimed: "Dashuai! ”
Everyone, whether they were crooked or lying down, jumped up all at once. looked nervously at He Kegang at the door!
He Kegang's cheeks were clenched very tightly, and the two muscles were as hard as stones.
I really want to cut these guys down, but in the end, the law is not responsible. There are twenty or thirty people here, and when they are employed, they kill who will work for themselves. You can't be a general soldier by yourself, so you can carry a knife and go on it yourself.
"Who's the boss." He Kegang shouted, and immediately a guy knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic.
"Drag it out, cut it!" He Kegang said a word, and a guard like a tiger and wolf rushed up, picked up the unlucky guy and left.
To dare to do this at this time is purely to live a long life.
He Kegang turned his head and left, and he could still hear the sound of the general begging for mercy in his ears.
As soon as he took a few steps, he heard a scream that came to an abrupt end.
"What sound?" He Kegang suddenly stopped.
Screams, what else can it be. All the people looked at each other, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"Jingle", "Bang", "Dong"
He Kegang's face immediately changed, and he leaned over to look under the city wall.
"Bang" I don't know where a gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew out grazing He Kegang's helmet. left a big mark on He Kegang's helmet.
He Kegang lay on his back, and the adjutant general behind him and the officers of the colonel supported him together.
"There's a fucking person under the wall, digging the wall." He Kegang couldn't be afraid, and now he wanted to cut down the group of grandsons hiding in the arrow tower.
Needless to say, the sub-officers under him also heard it.
"Someone, come on, come on, someone." The officers shouted with their necks pulled.
Inside the arrow tower, countless figures immediately poured out of the city tower. The officers gave orders in a panic, and all torches, lit straws, and 10,000 enemies were thrown down.
I don't know how many gunmen are ambushed below, and the Ming army holding torches is simply a bullet attraction in the dark night.
Many people were hit by several bullets before they could throw their torches down. The cotton armor of the Ming army was obviously no match for the bullet, and the blood in the projectile then splattered out.
Dordor and Azig sat on their horses, and behind them were the elite two yellow flags. These two brothers are multiple rolling brothers and elder brothers, fighting tiger brothers. When it comes to the critical time, it is still the most reliable brother of a sibling.
After reporting to Nurhachi, Dolgon left the glory of storming Jinzhou City to his own brother. This kind of military merit is not left to his own brothers, but can it be left to others?
"Big brother, it's been a night. Why hasn't there been any movement yet? ”
Seeing the gunfire, Duoduo already knew that it had been discovered by the Ming army on the city wall. This is also something that cannot be helped, the wall is dug in the middle of the night, and the deaf cannot hear. It was a miracle that it was discovered after a delay of more than half an hour.
"It's so easy, there's a layer of ice frozen over this wall. It wasn't easy to chisel, but Dolgon had come up with it. With that kind of shelf, you are not afraid to throw stones down the city wall, nor are you afraid to throw fire. Rest assured, it's only a matter of time before it is chiseled. ”
Azig was very confident in what Dolgon had come up with, and it was not Han Chinese slaves who were digging the wall under Jinzhou now. They are all warriors with two yellow flags, and there is no reason to trample on the lives of warriors like this.
"Fireworks! Set off fireworks! He Kegang was so anxious that his eyes were on fire, he didn't know how many musketeers were ambushed under the city wall, and the Ming army holding torches on the city wall was summoned as soon as he showed up.
"The fireworks have all been transferred to Beicheng by Lord Yuan!"
"Send a quick horse to get it!" He Kegang's roar could be heard by the people on the entire city wall.
