Chapter 31: Escaping the Dead (Seeking a New Chapter)
An hour and a half later, the Great Belle Daishan led the Zhenghong Banner to appear outside Qinghe Fort.
Because Nurhachi executed his eldest son Chu Ying, the second son Daishan was the head of the Four Great Masters of the Later Jin Dynasty and Shuobeile at this time, and was the heir to the Khan throne designated by Nurhachi, equivalent to the crown prince of the Later Jin.
The two red flags of Daishan and Yue Tuo have 51 Niu Lu, which is second only to the 65 Niu Lu of the two yellow flags, and Du Du, who is inlaid with white flags, also has the will to be attached to Dai Shan, so it can be said that Dai Shan's line is now the real real power faction of Houjin.
Especially after Amin's death, the blue flag of Manchuria, the second largest flag in Manchuria, which was sitting on 33 Niu Lu, was directly damaged by more than half, which further raised the status of the two red flags.
Therefore, he was very angry that Yue Tuo lost 6 Niu Lu with red flags in the first battle of Qinghe Fort.
The eldest son, Yue Tuo, was born by Dai Shan's ex-wife, and Dai Shan was quite strict with him on weekdays, and Yue Tuo was still very scared when he saw his Amma.
But after all, in front of many minions, Dai Shan still maintained a certain degree of restraint.
He said: "Everything that happened here, the Four Beyler Emperor Taiji has sent someone to inform the Great Khan, and the Great Khan has ordered you to quickly break through Qinghe Fort, you may be able to do it?" ”
Yue Tuo said: "Amma, rest assured, I have prepared enough ladders and crashes for the siege. Although the Ming army in Qinghe Fort is strong, it has lost most of it before, and our army will be able to break through the city in one fell swoop if it is attacked from all sides. ”
Nurhachi was also very surprised when he heard the battle report, the current Ming army has become so difficult, the Yahu Pass was heavily defended before, and at this moment, the small Qinghe Fort actually made the Dajin lose his troops.
The Ming army in Qinghe Fort was already dying, and he naturally would not let them go, so he ordered Dai Shan to come to assist Yue Tuo.
At this time, Nurhachi's two yellow flags were still marching behind.
The road near Qinghe Fort is rugged and difficult to travel, which is not suitable for the deployment of troops, which is also the reason why the original generation of Shanli mainly attacked Fushun Road first.
Dai Shan said: "It's better to surround the three queyi, I will make the Zhenghong flag ambush in the west, you go down to attack the city." ”
Despite the previous losses, there are still 5,500 people in the red flag.
Yue Tuo, who was holding back his strength, personally led his troops to attack the previous Dongcheng, and ordered the other two Meler Ezhen to lead their troops to attack the north and south gates respectively.
I saw the Eight Banners soldiers holding shields, wielding swords, carrying siege ladders and rushing towards Qinghe Fort.
Looking at the red flags all over the ground outside the city, Yan Mingtai thought that there was nothing he could do at this time, and he had exhausted all the materials and tactics.
He's done everything he can do, and now he's only going to fight to the death!
As the torches fell, the four tiger cannons in the city roared again, and the cannonballs scattered in the crowd, and the waves of air scattered the snow and lead in all directions, directly bringing down the surrounding Eight Banners.
However, in the thousand-strong charging team, this blow did not cause much waves.
It is different from the previous Ming army's obscene hiding behind the city and setting fire.
This time, the Ming army directly placed a stone on the arrow stack of the city wall, and each firecracker was protected by a soldier holding a large shield.
The Ming army's bird guns shot at the city in an all-round way.
The effective killing distance of the Bird Gun is usually 60 steps, but the Eight Banners have thicker cloth armor and often need less than 50 steps to form a kill. However, the range of the Eight Banners bow and arrow exceeded 70 steps, but fortunately, the shield soldiers of the Ming army held off most of the bows and arrows.
Anyway, there are many people under the city, and the firecrackers don't need to aim, just poke out the guns and shoot directly at the gaps between the city walls and the stones.
There was a large shield hand holding his shield high above to block the rain of arrows from Houjin. The gap between the stone and the city wall, if Houjin's bow and arrow could also be shot, then the Ming army had to consider itself unlucky.
I only saw that the city was entangled in white smoke, and there were constantly marching red flags that were brought down by the Ming army's firearms.
At this time, Yue Tuo was so angry that he stomped his feet, these big shields were left by the Qing army in Qinghe Fort before, and these Ming troops actually picked them up to deal with themselves.
Not only the big shield, but many Ming troops replaced the original mandarin duck battle jacket with heavy cloth armor or even iron armor inlaid with red flags, and even the helmets were inlaid with red flags.
Now from a distance, it doesn't look like Houjin is attacking the city, but it looks like infighting with red flags.
Soon the red flag rushed under the city wall and began to build ladders to attack the city.
At this time, the Ming army used a bucket of spears or firecrackers to put the stones that had been placed on the city, and the stones fell one by one, directly bringing down a large number of enemies.
This scene directly saw Dai Shan break out in a cold sweat, last year he led his troops to break through Qinghe Fort, and Houjin suffered a total of more than 100 casualties, and it took less than a pillar of incense to attack Qinghe Fort.
Now it is only here at the east gate, and they have already paid the price of 200 people before they have even climbed the city wall.
Li Rubai has always been cautious, when did he use soldiers so boldly?
When did the Ming army become so fierce and fearless of death?
It's no wonder that Yue Tuo's attack before will lose 6 Niu Lu, I'm afraid the casualties of this siege will not be small, this time the red flag is considered to be broken.
It's a pity that the attack has been launched at this time, and there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and now there is only gritting his teeth and gnawing.
Soon the city ran out of stones.
This time, he also learned to be smart about the red flag, and when he knew that as soon as he showed up, he must be the three-eyed gun of the Ming army waiting to greet him. Therefore, before they climbed the city wall, they had already thrown the flying axes, short spears and other weapons they carried with them to the city, which still caused some casualties to the Ming army.
However, many Ming soldiers originally exchanged with them with the heart of death, and many Ming soldiers were hit with a throwing axe in their faces or a short spear stuck in their bodies, and they still responded with three-eyed guns.
It was obvious that the Ming army was desperate, and as bursts of white smoke rose from the city, the red flag that had just climbed to the top of the city was knocked down without even standing firm on its heels.
However, as the Ming army's three-eyed guns gradually ran out, they soon entered the most brutal stage of hand-to-hand combat.
Everywhere there was the sound of metal clashing together, and soldiers on both sides were constantly seen falling off the wall together.
Outside the city, many soldiers with red flags pushed the city-breaking hammer to hit again and again, and the crumbling city gate finally couldn't resist it. With a heavy bang, the heavy city gate collapsed to the ground, and countless soldiers with red flags waved their weapons and slaughtered into Qinghe Fort.
The haystacks in the city were set on fire at some point, making the city even more chaotic.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and many Ming soldiers were wearing armor inlaid with red flags, which made the scene even more chaotic.
Yue Tuo soon discovered the intentions of the Ming army, so he ordered everyone not to exit Qinghe Fort, so as not to fish in troubled waters and follow them out of the city.
A Ming soldier in the city whose right arm was cut off by a Tartar struggled to pick up a torch and ignite the powder keg next to him, and the cannonballs, tiger squat cannons and several nearby Tartars were blown out together.
The huge explosion attracted everyone's attention, and this signal also told every Ming army in Qinghe Fort that the city could no longer be defended, and everyone could only find ways to break through by themselves.
One of them whispered: "Yan Jian Jun, while Jian Jian is attracted by the sound of the explosion now, he hurriedly jumped on the pile of corpses under the city. ”
Then Yan Mingtai was dragged off the city wall by two Ming soldiers who were also wearing red flag cloth armor.
The 6-meter-high wall still has a glimmer of life. The two had already pushed many corpses out of the city in advance, and padded underneath to prevent them from being pierced by hidden weapons when they landed.
At this time, the pile of corpses under the city was more than a meter high, and the height of the jump was further reduced.
When Yan Mingtai jumped down, he unfortunately hit a hard object in his head, and he fainted on the spot.
When he came back conscious, he found himself in a nearby wood.
The two men who had pulled him out of the city were by his side at the moment.
One of them said with a smile: "Yan Jianjun, you are finally awake, just now we almost let the Tartar auxiliaries be buried alive; Thankfully, I caught the wheels in the scabbard and overturned the cart carrying the bodies, and we escaped by falling into a ravine on the side of the road. ”
Despite the pain all over his body and his head being dizzy, Yan Mingtai still arched his hand and said: "Yan has thanked my brother for saving his life, but I don't know the names of the two high surnames. ”
The two said: "The villains He Ling and Wang Hu have seen Yan Jianjun. ”
Wang Hu said: "The Tartars are very cunning, and they guessed that we wanted to go out in their armor, and they shot everyone who walked through the city gates. ”
"It is estimated that the corpses in the city have also been mended by them, and the three thousand brothers are afraid that our brothers will be able to receive the silver alive."
He Ling said with a sigh.
