Although the Ming army in Qinghe Fort can still withstand the attack of the red flag for the time being, their follow-up troops are still pouring towards the city, just like the turbulent sea, one wave is stronger than another, and there will always be a wave that will swallow up the Ming army.

Yan Mingtai knew that they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

So he shouted, "Throw the oil canister!" ”

I saw dozens of Ming soldiers, who came out of the corner of the wall one after another, picked up the jars that had been prepared a long time ago, and smashed them towards the city with all their might.

With a crisp "clanging" sound, the city immediately filled the city with the smell of fire oil.

Some experienced Eight Flags know what this taste means?

But with the fall of a torch, it was too late.

The blazing flames spread rapidly under the city like raging ghost fires. In an instant, a red light surged, and the scorching flames danced, illuminating the entire city.

Many red flags that were too late to dodge were also burned by the fire. They rolled on the ground in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but all they could do was scream helplessly.

The oil spread in all directions in the roaring flames, and soon thick smoke billowed and the smell of fire filled everywhere. Even the 6-meter-high city walls can feel the heat from the heat wave below.

Soon, the ladders used to build the siege could not support the weight of the soldiers on it due to burning, and they fell one after another.

The Ming army in the city seized the opportunity to quickly kill the isolated Tartars in the city.

At this time, there was a ghost crying wolf under the city, and the red flag on the city was even more demoralized, and it was soon killed by the Ming army.

The vast majority of the Ming army did not have the joy of victory at the moment, they just rested on the wall on the other side, panting heavily.

Others take the opportunity to simply treat their wounds.

Only the Ming gunners on the tower continued to shoot the Tartars with their birds.

After this battle, the 3,000 Ming army was directly lost in half. It also made them see a reality clearly, if they want to persevere to the end, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get the 100 taels of silver.

Although the fire gradually subsided after a while, the red flag without the siege ladder had to be temporarily abandoned.

At this time, Yue Tuo also gradually calmed down, blaming himself for being in a hurry, thinking that it should be easy to take down a small Qinghe Fort.

Unexpectedly, this group of Ming troops defending the city was so strong, and they knew that they should build more siege equipment to besiege them on all sides.

The thick smoke billowing near Qinghe Fort had already attracted the attention of Huang Taiji, and he only thought that Yue Tuo had captured Qinghe Fort and was burning it, but he didn't expect that the red flag had directly suffered a big defeat just now.

At this time, Du Du, who found that he had been tricked by the small army of the Ming army, had also given up the pursuit and rushed to Qinghe Fort.

Du Du complained directly: "The tactics of this Ming army are becoming more and more obscene, although Juniper and Marin are weaker, they still dare to fight with me with the front of the big golden sword and gun." ”

"The Ming armies on the southeast and southeast roads are completely different, either slaughtering the old and weak in the rear of my Dajin, or sneak attacking, ambushing, and playing these unseemly methods; Either you are cowering in the city, and you don't dare to confront my Eight Banners head-on! ”

Du Du's words made Huang Taiji keenly aware of the seriousness of the situation. These tactics of the Ming army seem to be out of the flow, but they are very effective, constantly weakening the strength of our Dajin.

Soon the sentinel arrived: "A large number of corpses of the Eight Banners and the Ming army have been found on the road 15 miles west of Qinghe Fort; There is about one bull record with a white flag, five cow records with a blue flag, and there are about four or five hundred corpses of the Ming army. ”

At this time, Du Du shouted in surprise: "That should be the place where the Ming army ambushed me before a Niu Lu, how can there be a corpse of Zhenglan Qi?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "Du Du, you were fooled, the ambush of the Ming army must have been in place at that time, and they used suspicious soldiers to lure you away, the purpose was to ambush the Mang Gurtai behind you!" ”

At this time, Yue Tuo and the others reacted, and Zhenglan Qi disappeared at this time!

The combat power of the Ming army is also too strong, but in the wild, it almost hit a 1 to 4 battle loss, so how can they be embarrassed by the self-proclaimed invincible Eight Banners in the world?

At this time, Huang Taiji's deep eyebrows tightened, and he said helplessly: "It seems that the main force of the Ming army has been transferred, and the Ming army in this Qinghe Fort is probably also used by them to drag us down." ”

Yue Tuo clenched his fists and said excitedly: "I have lost 1,800 warriors in Qinghe Fort with a red flag, I will never let them go, I must slaughter all the Ming troops in the city." ”

Huang Taiji glanced at the corpses with red flags all over the ground under the city, and knew that Yue Tuo would definitely not give up.

So he said: "Now the main movement of the Ming army is unknown, and the Zhenglan Banner is likely to be in danger." Dudu, your white flag, come with me to meet Mang Gurtai; Yue Tuo you will stay and continue to besiege Qinghe Fort, the Great Khan's men and horses will arrive later, you will be responsible for building siege equipment first, and then join forces to attack the city when the army arrives. ”

Yue Tuo and Du Du are both juniors of Huang Taiji, so naturally they dare not disobey the meaning of Sibeile.

The red flags outside the city no longer siege the city, but are busy cutting down trees and building siege equipment.

The Ming army at Qinghe Fort finally got a precious respite.

However, Yan Mingtai was not happy, he knew that it was the silence before the storm.

Looking at the two white flags that were gradually moving away, he made him sweat for Li Xianzhong.

At this time, an iron pot had been erected in the city, and fresh horse meat was constantly tumbling in the pot, exuding bursts of aroma, which made these Ming soldiers swallow their saliva.

In the midst of ice and snow, these steaming foods are the most healing.

Although the taste of horse meat is slightly sour, it is not as good as beef and mutton.

But for these soldiers, who are already extremely physically exhausted, it is undoubtedly a delicacy in the world.

Yan Mingtai ordered the man to put a small amount of coarse salt into the pot, so that the horse meat tasted a little salty and no longer so fishy.

At this time, Yan Mingtai no longer had the image of a prison army, he sat next to the sergeants, directly holding the meat pieces with both hands and nibbling on them, and from time to time he used his greasy hands to flick his beard.

Suddenly, Yan Mingtai wiped his mouth and said loudly: "Brothers, even if you let go of eating, the horse meat is enough!" ”

"Today, Yan can eat meat with his brothers, cut tartars with a big knife, so happy, I will toast you with soup instead of wine."

Many people understand that this may be the last meal of their lives.

However, it is worth it to be able to achieve the freedom to eat meat once and drink a sip of steaming broth before dying!

As for the one hundred taels of silver, no one cares about it!

A strong man shouted: "Yan Jianjun rest assured, my old Liu's steel knife will definitely make these Jianjun have no return!" When the brothers are full of food and drink, they must pull a few more Tartars on their backs! ”

At this time, the Ming army in the city swept away the haze just now, and their morale was ignited again.

The roar of "killing, killing" continued to echo in the air, which made the red flag outside the city even more terrifying!
