Chapter 13 The Soldiers Rise from a Rock

"Big brother, we're going to die here, grandma, I haven't begged my mother-in-law yet..."Deng San muttered.

"Less nonsense, you have to earn your own life. You take care of the dog, I will rush at you, the second wave of arrows of the Ming army is coming, be careful! ”

The two of them were clinging to a wooden shield, which was their only barrier.

The first group of displaced people were nearly dead after being baptized by artillery and two rounds of arrows, and the ground was densely covered with corpses, and only a few survived with shields or were lucky enough to be buried by corpses.

"Run forward! Hurry up! ”

The cavalry of the old battalion turned back, and drove a new group of homeless people to the city, this time the homeless people were slightly stronger than cannon fodder, most of them had shields, or pushed wooden carts.

The movement of the outcasts was fast, the formation was stabilized by the shields, and the number of deaths from the bow and arrow was decreasing.

The garrison of the castle also noticed this, and ordered the crossbowmen to stop firing and urge the artillery to fire.

"What about the Divine Machine Battalion? Is the Hongyi cannon ready? Hurry up and beat Lao Tzu into the pile! The small cannon and the Franc machine charge are charged with lead, and the person is put closer before fighting! ”

With a "bang", a bowl of cannon hit the city tower, and the wood fell along with the ashes, and the guards at the city head were shocked and sat on the ground.

Seeing that the artillery of the Shun army was fighting, the man surnamed You immediately held his shield and led Deng San to rush straight down the city, followed by the second group of homeless people.

The cruelty of the war has aroused the limits of everyone's senses, and the displaced people are stimulated by the bloody smoke brought by the artillery, and they go crazy, and everyone runs wildly and shouts "Siege!" Besiege! ”

The defender of the city staggered to his feet, wiped some saliva, and wiped the ash from his eyes, so that he could see the situation under the city. Seeing that the homeless people were close at hand, they fought madly and fiercely, and their hairs stood on end in shock.

Immediately drew his waist knife, ran to each gun position, and urged his subordinates to open fire.

grabbed a small soldier leaning against the wall and scolded: "Don't hide, get up and charge!"

The cannons on both sides rumbled, and they thundered against each other.

After the Shun army took control of the Beijing division, it captured a large number of artillery, among which the number of Hongyi cannons crushed the Guanning army, so the defenders of Shanhaiguan gradually fell into disadvantage in the artillery battle.

Liu Zongmin stood far in front of the formation and said behind him: "Don't divide it into batches, all the homeless campers rushed to the city, and the old camp foot soldiers then pressed up, and the ants attached to the city." Li Guo, you lead the cavalry on the flank, if Wu Sangui can't hold it back, open the door and go out of the city to charge, be sure to eat them all. ”

"Yes, he will definitely kill him crying dad and calling his mother."

Deng San and the others saw that they were getting closer and closer to the gate, and when they could clearly see the faces of the defenders in the city, dozens of small cannons and Francophone machines in the city opened fire in unison, and a large number of lead and iron nails flew out like flowers.

Among the homeless people, they raised their shields to block, only to hear the sound of "popping" wood breaking, and the projectiles the size of eggs passed through the shields, and they wailed everywhere in an instant.

One person was beaten with iron nails all over his face, his abdominal cavity was ruptured, his intestines and internal organs slipped out, and he stretched out his hand and shouted at the dog, "Help me." ”

The dog baby was so frightened that her soul was scattered, and the urine was flowing under her knees, and she couldn't care about anything else, shouting "Mother, I miss my mother." And he ran back.

"Deng San, catch the dog! Catch the dog! Come back, dog! ”

How can the dog still hear other people's shouts? This is Infernal Hell, the only way to go home is to turn back, and his mother is waiting for him, and he wants to go home.

Deng San heard the man surnamed You shouting, and was about to get up to grab the dog baby, but hesitated.

At this time, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

Seeing Deng San's hesitation, the man surnamed You scolded angrily, "Bastard, greedy for life and afraid of death!" He put aside the wooden shield and ran towards the dog baby.

The four words greed for life and fear of death were like a blow to the head, knocking Deng San to his senses, and quickly picked up the shield to help them.

The cannon sounded again, and dozens of lead pieces flew towards the dog baby like chasing souls for their lives.

One projectile broke into the dog's chest with precision, and the rest of the projectiles were blocked by the man surnamed You who flew on his back with his back.

I only saw the two hugging each other, lying on their sides on the ground, life and death unknown.

Deng San completely collapsed, threw away the wooden shield, and rushed to the front of the two.

I saw that the tears on the dog's face were still there, but she was not breathing, her chest was pierced, and she kept bleeding outward.

The back of the man surnamed You was already bright red, and the blue tendons on his face were twisted in pain, and he used his last strength to say to Deng San: "Live. Make move.. Don't die. ”

Deng San hugged the corpses of the two, howled and cried bitterly, and shouted to the sky: "Who will save us in this damn world!" ”

Outside the Shanhaiguan, a piece of stone.

Dolgon's expression was relaxed, watching his subordinates clean up the battlefield, and from time to time Shun soldiers who pretended to be dead or not dead were caught, beheaded, and ears cut off.

At this time, a strong man came and said to Dolgon, "Prince Rui, when will you wait?" If you're scared, go home. ”

This person's words were unceremonious, and he didn't take Dorgon, the prince of Heshurui, who was the auxiliary king, seriously.

Dolgon was not annoyed when he heard his sarcastic words, smiled indifferently, and said kindly: "Sixth brother, how can I be afraid of the timid and incompetent Nikan? Now, we have helped Wu Sangui solve the ambush of a stone, and Wu Sangui must repay our kindness. ”

It turned out that the person who spoke just now was Zilharang, who was on an equal footing with Dolgon and was also an auxiliary king, although he was not Nurhachi's son, but he was very close, and he was the sixth in the family, so Dolgon called his sixth brother.

"Haha, what kind of retribution method does he have, doesn't little Wu Sangui just need to open the door?"

"The lives of Jurchen warriors are a hundred times more precious than Nikan, since Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng are fighting, let them fight longer and die more. When Wu Sangui comes to beg us, it's not too late to send troops. ”

"Fourteenth brother, worthy of the cunning Dolgon (Mongolian: badger)."

Dorgon looked at Zilharan with a smile in his eyes, and said no more.

A reckless fool, when you enter the customs, I'll clean you up.

Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army was not as unbearable as Li Zicheng expected, relying on the sharp blade of the fortified city, and the generals under his command did not retreat.

The Guanning army has been fighting with Jianguo outside the pass for many years, although it can't defeat Jianguo, but compared with the soldiers in the pass, the combat power is a cut higher.

And because Wu Sangui is a Guanning general for generations, has a deep prestige, and the food and salary are enough, the soldiers are willing to work for him, so naturally it is not possible for the Shun army to fight down.

Li Zicheng not only misjudged Wu Sangui, but also had a strong eye on the outside of the Guan, and his understanding was even more insufficient.

Because he has never confronted Jianyu directly, his impression of them is only based on the oral statements and subjective judgments of the former Ming generals.

In Guanzhong and Beizhili, he was used to fighting tailwind, and the balance of power or disadvantage on the battlefield would make him anxious.

"What about a high grade?"

"The end will be."

"Led the camp to press, tell Liu Zongmin, no matter what method is used, take Shanhaiguan within an hour, and don't come back if you can't do it!"

"No!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you order General Gu Kecheng to prepare early? Be prepared. Before Song Xiance finished speaking, a sudden slap directly whipped him away.

Li Zicheng pointed at Song Xiance on the ground fiercely and said, "You fucking know a fart?" Bad for my army, thinking I won't kill you? ”

Song Xiance hugged the swollen left side of his face and shouted that he was wronged.

Li Zicheng walked outside the tent and ordered his guards to prepare horses, he wanted to personally go into battle to supervise the battle, he didn't believe that the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was only 30,000 or 40,000 people, could not be defeated?
