Chapter 60: Chaos 2
Qian Zhugan almost ran back from the city gate building where Yang Xin's defense area was located, the city wall of the capital is both tall and spacious, and the east gate is naturally more than one main city gate building.
After listening to Qian Zhugan's report, Li Shan had the courage to jump up quickly.
"Bold! I didn't even dare to listen to General Ben's military orders! ”
Li Shanyong scolded with a blushing face, and slammed his fist on the city wall.
Qian Zhugan whispered tentatively: "General, do you want to take someone to disarm them and arrest them?" ”
Li Shanyong's face was gloomy and uncertain, thinking quickly, let's catch it, now the enemy is now, I am afraid that the new army will be shaken, after all, this Yang Xin is not an ordinary person, the entire new army of the new army is looking forward to him, if you don't make a mess, if you don't catch it, your authority will be fatally hit, and the hundreds of households below will learn from him to disobey on the battlefield one by one, so how to command?
After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind and was about to give the order to arrest Yang Xin, when there was a sudden chaos in the city in front of him, and the new army retreated one after another, and many people shouted.
"Oh no, the Tatars have taken the city!"
"Run, the city is broken!"
……
Some of the soldiers were so clinging to their heads that they had lost their sticks.
Li Shanyong was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly climbed up to look, this look, it was funny and angry, and his face was full of crying and laughing.
This Geng Zhongming's army is indeed fierce, they are all elite, the new army defending the city is all a rabble, these Qing soldiers actually rely on those broken ladders, have climbed to the front of the new army garrisoned by the city, as soon as the city head, it is like a dragon into the sea, a tiger into the flock, it is really invincible, blood flowed like a river, the new army retreated.
Dozens of Qing soldiers had already rushed up to this section of the city wall, and Li Shanyong no longer had the energy to deal with Yang Xin, so he pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Come on, follow General Ben to kill these Qing dogs down the city!" ”
Li Shanyong took the lead, led hundreds of veterans of the guards, and covered the past in front of him, but who knew that the new army in the middle was scurrying everywhere, blocking their way.
"Get out of the way! Violators will be killed! ”
Li Shanyong shouted with his sword, and personally cut down a new soldier who was so frightened that he actually bumped into him, these people knew that they were afraid, and they retreated back by the passage left by the Dashun veterans.
Soon, Li Shanyong was engaged in battle with the Qing army.
The veterans of the Dashun army were really strong, and the two sides were short to each other in the narrow city, and almost as soon as the front came into contact, some people bled and fell to the ground.
Li Shanyong was brave and good at fighting, and the number of Qing troops was small, so they gradually fell at a disadvantage and began to retreat, and the people on the ladder had no space and could not squeeze in, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers left on this section of the city wall.
However, for the entire east gate city wall, the Qing army had a big advantage, and there were Qing soldiers everywhere who climbed to the top of the city, and where there were no veterans of the Dashun army, the new army was almost all collapsed at the touch of a button, and it was a mess.
Geng Zhongming under the city was dumbfounded, he just tentatively launched an ant-attached siege to the city, looking at this situation, he could break the city if he didn't do it!
Many recruits don't even know how to smash down the rocks, and some of them are smashing, all of which are spontaneous and disorganized, and they will smash people when they see them, and they can't find the point.
"Father, it seems that there is a chance to break the city, and the child is willing to lead 800 elite soldiers to attack the city, and build this city for his father!"
Geng Jingzhong on the side was eager to try and stepped forward to ask for battle.
Geng Zhongming was still a little hesitant, his vanguard this time was less than 3,000, and he had already sent more than 1,000 people to attack the city, if he sent people up, there would be almost no available soldiers, and he would always have to leave a few hundred people to suppress the formation!
He hesitated because he felt that Li Yan should not be so easy to deal with, after all, Li Yan is a famous general, don't come to show weakness to the enemy, and it will be embarrassing to ambush again.
At this time, more and more Qing troops attacked the city, Geng Zhongming no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered a thousand troops, almost out, and ordered Geng Jingzhong to attack the city, leaving only 500 people to suppress the formation.
……
Yang Xin watched more and more Qing troops pouring into the city, and at this time, they had already begun to fight closely, and the Qing army's arrows were shooting fewer and less, almost gone.
Luo Er led a group of people to fight bloodily, including many hundred households who had already taken refuge in Yang Xin, their equipment was relatively better, relying on the absolute advantage of numbers and Luo Er's leading soldiers, they could barely fight against the Qing army, and the others were completely reduced to cannon fodder, running around on the city wall, at a loss, and unable to form effective resistance at all.
Du Datou looked at it in a cold sweat and said, "Boss, what should we do now?" Isn't it time to withdraw? ”
Yang Xin stood up, shook his head, and said: "We can't run yet, as soon as we run, the other new army and hundreds of households will follow, and the city will be broken, so we can't wait until it gets dark, and now, we can only make a desperate bet!" First of all, we will repel this wave of enemy attacks, the number of Qing troops is not large, we have 10,000 new troops at the east gate, as long as we are willing to sacrifice our lives, it should not be a big problem to hold today. ”
Although Du Datou was also very scared in his heart, he thought that what Yang Xin said was right, he was originally a ruffian and hooligan born and raised in the capital, and at this time he was also inspired to be ruthless, and said: "Okay, listen to the master, do it!" ”
Yang Xin is actually more bottomless than him, but there is no way to retreat, so he can only let go.
"Brother Du, your people rush forward, don't fight with the enemy, just protect my musket!"
Du Datou nodded.
"Remembrance team, obey orders, march in formation!"
Yang Xin no longer doubted it, and ordered decisively.
The new armies were cut into countless sections by the Qing troops that emerged from all over the city wall, and many of them couldn't run if they wanted to, and they could only be forced to fight for their lives, and Luo Er was already covered in blood and gradually lost the enemy.
"Go save Luo Er!"
Yang Xin said loudly.
Du Datou nodded, but there was also a bunch of squeezed routs in front of him, which was no different from Li Shanyong's situation.
"The soft eggs in front of you all make way for Lao Tzu!"
Du Datou took the lead with a bright long knife, and squeezed forward with his brothers, but he couldn't squeeze it, he didn't pay attention to it so much, and he raised his knife to cut!
The rout, who had been cut down several people, suddenly came to their senses and retreated along the half of the passage they had cleared.
More than a dozen Qing soldiers in front of them were killed, and after they climbed the city wall, no one was killed, and the enemies they faced were all wooden sticks!
In this crowded and narrow battlefield, wooden sticks are useless at all, if it is a spear, it can stab a few forward, and the wooden stick can only be topped.
They killed twenty or thirty people, and suddenly saw a new army with steel knives emerging in front of them, and thought to themselves, finally encountered a hard stubble, but at this time, their morale was high, and they rushed over without hesitation.
"Du Datou, your people squat!"
Yang Xin shouted.
"The first group, let's go!"
The head of the city was too narrow to form a complete three-row gun, so Yang Xin had to form six rows, five people in each row, two rows as a group, when firing, the front row was half squatting, and ten people fired together.
More than a dozen Qing soldiers were surprised to find that the new army, which was mainly armed with knives in front of them, suddenly squatted down, and dense muskets appeared behind them, aiming almost against their chests.
Suddenly frightened, the soul was scattered, at this time, people were crowded, and there was nowhere to hide!
"Bang Bang Bang"
There was a burst of gunfire, and the Qing army fell seven or eight in an instant.
At such a close distance, it's hard to miss it!
