Chapter 248: Guanning Iron Cavalry Dispatch (Fourth Watch)
Soon, Liu Zongmin's men appeared in Chongzhen's sight.
After a night's rest, the Dashun army was in good spirits again.
In yesterday's battle, the Dashun army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the casualties on Liu Zongmin's side alone exceeded 6,000.
Yuan Zongdi and Li You suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
However, the results were still there, and Gaodi's western camp was uprooted, forming an encirclement of the eastern battalion, forcing Yang Kun's deputy general Sun Wenhuan's more than 2,000 horses.
A day's battle, the harvest is not small.
Therefore, the morale of the Dashun army was high, Liu Zongmin personally supervised the team, and led his generals Dang Shousu, Xin Sizhong and Gu Kecheng, and the troops were divided into three routes, and launched an offensive against the North Wing City, Xiluo City and Dongluo City at the same time.
Although they did not bring heavy weapons such as redcoat cannons during this long march, there were still some small firearms such as Huzun cannons.
The Dashun Army also brought it this time.
In addition to light firearms, there were ladders, siege vehicles, death squads were formed.
In the morning, the Dashun army and the Wu army began a fierce battle again.
At first, the two sides were shelled, and after the shells were fired, the Dashun army paid a certain price of casualties and attacked the city, and then the bow and arrow came into play.
The battle of attack and defense began, and the battle was extremely tragic, with dead bodies everywhere and city walls
It is obvious that Dongluo City and Xiluo City are the main direction of attack of the Dashun army.
When it was close to noon, Liu Zongmin led the team to charge personally.
The northern wing city, Xiluo City and Dongluo City were in a hurry, but the most tense battle was still Xiluo City, because Liu Zongmin personally led the team to attack Xiluo City......
"Master, are you going to break the city?" Wang Chengen saw that the Dashun army had the upper hand again, and some had already attacked the city.
"Hahaha, it's not enough to break the city, the thieves haven't even breached the acropolis yet. Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, and it is not so easy to be breached." Chongzhen smiled, "But Wu Sangui, a chaotic minister and thief, probably won't be able to sit still."
Sure enough, the west gate of Shanhaiguan opened.
"Master, Guan Ning Tie rode out, and Wu Sangui personally went out." Wang Chengen was very excited, pointing to Wu Sangui not far away.
Chongzhen nodded and said, "Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin, it's time for these two rivals to fight." ……
Wu Sangui, who was covered in armor, carried a Santing machete in his hand, a longbow behind his back, a sword on one side of his waist, and a quiver hanging on the other side, and the quiver was full of wolf's tooth arrows.
Wu Guogui, the main general of the Chinese army on the left, Hu Guozhu, the young general on the right, and 5,000 Guan Ningtie rode out on a flying horse and rushed straight to Liu Zongmin's team.
At the same time, three members of the White Lotus Sect also dispatched.
Wu Sangui personally went out on the horse, the three of them couldn't eat and drink here for nothing to watch the excitement, although they couldn't win Chongzhen, but against Li Zicheng's people, they thought they could still make some efforts.
Abbot Huiyuan said to the two White Lotus Sectists, "You two go to Dongluo City and Xiluo City, and Lao Qu goes to Beiyi City, remember that people are in the city."
"Abbot, don't worry, a few thieves are not worth mentioning." The three innate masters quickly floated to the three acropolises......
In the northern wing of the city, the city of East and West, the battle is fierce.
The Dashun army attacked and was beaten down by the Wu army, and then attacked and fought again, and this has been repeated five times.
Hu Xinshui, Xia Longshan and Wu Zhimao, the guards of the three cities, from the beginning of the command of the battle, to the later personal participation in the battle, although these three awards are unstoppable, but after all, people's physical strength is limited.
The Dashun army took turns attacking the city, not giving them a chance to breathe at all. In Liu Zongmin's words, at all costs, Guancheng must be taken.
Now the continuous battle has been more than two hours, that is, more than five hours, and it has been killed from midnight to mid-afternoon.
The Dashun army relied on the strength of the crowd, and a group of people died and a group came up, like waves on the sea, the front waves pushed the back waves, wave after wave, endlessly.
The Wu army defending the city was rapidly decreasing, Hu Xinshui, Xia Longshan, Wu Zhimao, and the three main generals were exhausted by now, panting like old dogs.
At this time, the Dashun army attacked the city for the sixth time and launched a white-knuckle battle on the car.
There were dead bodies everywhere above and below the city, and blood stained the walls red.
At this moment, three members of the White Lotus Sect descended from the sky.
The masters of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes are not at the same level as the generals who rush to kill on the battlefield.
In addition, this acropolis is actually a large rectangular platform, which is condescending and suitable for performing martial arts.
Therefore, as soon as these three innate masters arrived, they immediately turned the tide of the battle, and it was easy to defend a platform by themselves.
The Dashun army rushed up one by one, and two died with a pair, and the dead bodies were thrown under the city one after another.
The Wu army in the city was able to breathe......
"Master, someone from the White Lotus Sect?" Wang Chengen on the cliff pointed to a majestic White Lotus Sect in Xiluo City as if he had discovered a new continent.
Wang Chengen only saw one, and at this time, Chongzhen saw the three White Lotus Cultists on the three acropolis.
Among the thousands of horses and thousands of troops, a white dress is particularly conspicuous.
Moreover, the innate masters of the 4th layer of the Qi Realm can deal with these ordinary generals, like old and naughty boys, and they are at ease.
