Chapter 54: The Burial King of the Sea of Fire (Three Watches)

With 20,000 men and horses guarding the camp, it is impossible to drain the water in Jinzhou.

Only by erecting wooden walls and digging more trenches can we use a limited number of troops to achieve encirclement.

With the cooperation of elite cavalry, there is no need to worry about a sneak attack.

Now that Wu Sangui has taken away the most elite cavalry, the cavalry in Li Yutian's hands is really out of his hands.

He was worried about the sneak attack of the Jianyu in Jinzhou City yesterday, so he made arrangements early. Grow your momentum with countless torches. Let Dorgon be confused about his own forces.

At this time, Jianyu came to attack, Li Yutian was still calm, and commanded the soldiers to start resisting.

On the other side, under the supervision of the Jianyu cavalry, more than 10,000 Qing people in Jinzhou City, regardless of men, women, and children, were driven out.

They carried out almost everything available in the city, or carried it, and rushed to the trench in a panic.

The Ming army quickly understood their intentions, and naturally they would not sit idly by and watch their success.

Many soldiers stood on the platform on the top of the wooden wall, constantly firing crossbows, killing the people of Jianyu crying for their fathers and mothers.

There, there are children of five or six years old, old people of seventy or eighty, young women with beautiful faces, and all kinds of disabled people, who have no choice and can only obey orders when they receive them.

Everyone did their best, carrying all kinds of items and "building bridges" for the captured cavalry.

A four-year-old child, following behind her gray-haired grandmother, ran forward with the group.

He didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know what the little stone in his hand was for.

Sou......

The grandmother fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and the child ran over to check on it, patting the grandmother's wrinkled face.

Suddenly, a big foot accidentally kicked him on the body, easily kicking his gentle body down, and immediately, countless big feet passed by.

I didn't even have time to cry......

This scene will not be noticed, the people of Jianyu are running with their heads bored, and the Ming sergeants are shooting calmly, and they will not be soft at all because they are ordinary people.

The people who help the enemy are the enemy army, and no one cares if you are a child or a beautiful woman, but you just shoot desperately, even if the corpses are all over the field, no one will move the heart of compassion.

The Ming army desperately fired arrows and constantly sent the enemy to heaven.

However, there were too many people in Jianjiao, and without counting the casualties, a road leading to the camp of the Ming army gradually took shape.

Abatai was overjoyed and prepared to charge.

He ignored the countless torches and pointed the steel knife in his hand at Li Yutian's tent.

Kill......

Abatai took the lead, raised a white flag high, and rushed forward with a shout.

Kill......

Kill......

5,000 iron horsemen rushed to kill, and galloped away in the face of the Ming army's crossbow arrows.

Li Yutian had already climbed the lookout, and he really didn't expect that Dolgon's target was himself.

Seeing that the people of Jianyu did not withdraw after laying the road, they still rushed to their camp with the cavalry, and their hearts were already understood.

"Quickly transfer half of the defenders everywhere, come here to help!"

"Yes!"

Boom Boom Boom ......

The grenade explodes, knocking down enemies who are about to climb the wooden wall.

The five-arrow crossbow shot desperately, and the cavalry who didn't want money beckoned, and the Li Zi banner became a meat grinder, and countless fresh lives disappeared here.

Knock knock knock......

Jianyu's battering ram kept hitting the wooden walls, but it was ineffective. Because of the popularization of the drill experience, the wooden wall of the Ming army has long been reinforced, and it is difficult to destroy it with ordinary battering rams.

But Jianyu didn't give up, staring at the solid planks and shields, and kept hitting them all the time.

The Ming army had no choice but to light the fuse and throw down a grenade.

On the platform on top of the wooden wall, more Ming troops carried steel guns and five-arrow crossbows, shooting and killing enemy troops not far away while preventing them from climbing up.

Seeing that he could not attack for a long time, but his own people suffered heavy casualties, Abatai was anxious and anxious, and was thinking about going back to transport artillery.

At this time, Dolgon, regardless of his injuries, pushed a cannon in the city with only a dozen or so guards.

This is the red-coated cannon captured by the Ming army two years ago, and it is very powerful, and it is just right to transport it at this time.

"Reload! Ignition! ”

Rumble!

Jianyu's artillery fired, blasting the wooden wall with sawdust.

The speed of the scattered sawdust was extremely high, and the nearby Jianyu people were screaming, and some people were even pierced into the flesh by the sawdust, and fell to the ground and groaned.

"Go on! Put! ”

Abatai didn't care about these flat-headed people who could only carry dirt bags, and opened fire again against the same wooden wall.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Ming army on the wooden wall were shocked and fell to the ground.

With the support of his guards, Dolgon endured severe pain in his lower back, rode his war horse with difficulty, and galloped back and forth in front of the battle.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! Kill ......"

When the soldiers saw the regent in the line of fire, they all shouted excitedly:

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

The morale of the captives was greatly shaken, and the battering rams kept ramming, and they kept climbing the wooden walls and kept shooting......

The cavalry stood on their horses, not afraid to expose their whole body to the point, just to shoot at the Ming army standing on the wooden wall.

Jianyu is good at cavalry shooting, at this time static shooting, almost no arrows, the Ming soldiers have been hit by arrows and fell, vacating a large wooden wall.

The wooden wall was less guarded by soldiers, and some Jianyu began to successfully climb over and jump down to the Ming soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.

Rumble!

There was another cannon shot, and a big hole was blown out of the wooden wall of the Ming army, and several prisoners took the opportunity to drill into it and successfully broke into the camp of the Ming army.

The situation is critical!

"Dusi, there are too many enemies, they have rushed in, we can't resist it!" The soldier reported loudly.

"Continue to transfer troops over, almost the whole city will be dispatched, just leave one or two people in unimportant places! Be quick! ”

"Yes!"

The Ming army quickly gathered to Li Yutian's big tent, and it didn't take long, and more than 10,000 people were in place. The rest of the people are still running around.

Soon, the Jianlu who entered the barracks was beheaded, and with the help of the five-arrow crossbow, the Ming army once again stood on the wooden wall, relying on the advantage of numbers and range, and the killed Jianyu cavalry had to dodge, so as not to become a live target.

The situation finally stabilized, and Li Yutian breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that such a fierce attack still failed, Abatai was in a heavy mood, and he did not know what to do, and wanted to ask for instructions, but he could not find Dorgon.

Just now, the arrows were all over the sky, and the grenades of the Ming army were thrown out one by one, and there was chaos, could it be that the regent was injured, or even ......

Abatai was in a hurry, and didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly sent someone to look for it.

"If you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die!"

At this time, Jianyu had already suffered heavy losses, and the intensity of the offensive was getting worse and worse.

Li Yutian saw that the time was almost up, and ordered someone to light the jar full of tung oil, and throw it out of the formation with a stone thrower.

The fiery jar pierced the night sky and fell to the ground with a thud, causing a sudden fire, which soon ignited the surrounding wooden weapons and corpses.

As the oil tanks were thrown out in large quantities, the place 30-200 steps away from the wooden wall of the Ming army became a sea of fire.

There were desperate Jianyu soldiers, holding burning broken oil cans, rushing to the wooden wall, and before they could run far, they were shot and killed by the well-guarded Ming army.

Unable to find Dorgon, Abatai looked at the fire and was worried, what if the regent was in the fire.

"Quick, spread out and look for it, white-armored soldiers, rush into the sea of fire to find the regent!"

The few remaining white-armored soldiers did not hesitate after listening to the order, covered their mouths and noses and rushed into the fire.

Since Dolgon's clothes are clear, there is no need to rummage through them, and you can clearly see if you are near them at a glance.

A quarter of an hour passed, and there were white-armored soldiers in the depths of the fire, and among the corpses, a corner of Dolgon's shoulder armor was faintly visible.

As soon as he was about to shout, he was shot through the chest by a powerful crossbow.

Dark red blood flowed out, the color of blood that only occurs when the lungs are pierced.

He turned back with difficulty, trying to report to Abatai, but he had difficulty breathing, could not shout, and fell in regret in the sea of fire.
