The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty continued to climb the city wall, and as soon as they entered the city, they frantically slashed and killed the bow and arrow militia of Zhaojiabao, and the Qing army outside the city gave out a shocking cheer, and shouted slogans in Manchu to inspire the Han Eight Banners who were besieging the city.

When Han Baqi heard that their new master was encouraging him, he immediately killed his former compatriots and worked harder, and these startled militiamen were military exploits that they could reap by themselves.

Seeing that the militiamen who were pushing and pushing each other and fleeing were powerless, Resarit said to the king, who did not know what to do, "My lord, we must send our guards up the city wall, and we will be in danger if we don't destroy the enemies above." ”

At this time, Wang Dan had been frightened by the Qing army's offensive, and when he heard Resarit's request, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, send someone up." "I knew in my heart that Resarit was a professional in cold weapon warfare, and only he could deal with these Qing troops.

As Resarit sent the guards up the city walls, more Eight Banners climbed up, and they fiercely slashed and killed the militia, shouting slogans such as killing all the people or long live the Qing Dynasty, and gradually occupied the city wall of the city gate.

When more than 100 Han Eight Banners climbed the city wall, the militia completely dispersed, they screamed and retreated into the distance, and some panicked people even jumped off the city wall and fell to their deaths and injuries in the fort.

At the most dangerous moment, the mobilized escort army finally lined up on the city wall, separated the routed militia, and slowly advanced towards the Han Eight Banners that were chasing and killing the militia Zhenghuan in a formation of four people on the city wall, and the full two thousand shield-wielding spearmen divided into two long snakes to climb on both sides of the city wall occupied by the Eight Banners, and attacked the Han Eight Banners on the city gate from both sides.

In front of the closely coordinated shield array, no matter how fierce and brave the Han Eight Banner soldiers were, they would be stabbed through the body by several spears that pierced out of the gap in the shield array at the same time, and the Han Eight Banner soldiers kept screaming and being put down, and the shield-wielding spearmen kept squeezing forward and pushing forward.

The two shield dragon arrays finally converged on the city gate, and the Han Eight Banners that attacked the city wall were pushed back down the city wall, and a steady stream of shield-wielding spearmen formed a thick shield wall in the section of the city wall attacked by the Han Eight Banners, and any Han Eight Banners who wanted to climb the city wall would be stabbed to death by the spears pierced from the shield defense wall. At the same time, many soldiers used spears to knock down the ladder at the head of the city. Many soldiers of the Eight Banners of Han were killed and injured by falling.

Dolgon was extremely angry when he saw that the Han Eight Banners that had already attacked the city wall had been driven down again, thinking that he was such an eloquent and strategic hero, and that he was destined to defeat the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world. ”

The soldiers led the order, and soon 5,000 people in the camp of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty dismounted and rushed to Zhaojiabao, and the two Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty gathered and killed the Han soldiers who retreated from the city wall. Then more than 10,000 people stormed the city wall with all their might, and for a while, the shouts of killing in the city and under the city were non-stop.

This brutal battle continued until dusk, and 2,000 Han Eight Banners were stabbed to death under the city wall, but the commander of the Han Eight Banners was forced by Dolgon's military order to replace the Han Eight Banners besieging the city with batch after batch, and kept attacking the city wall with their lives.

The Zhaojiabao guards also killed more than 200 people, all of which were caused by the fierce Han Eight Banner soldiers who insisted on wielding their knives to kill the outcropping guards after being stabbed through the body with spears, and the Han Eight Banners took turns to attack the city, and the guards fought from noon to dusk. The body has long been gone, so the frequency of the current guards swinging their spears has also decreased a lot.

Seeing this, Resarit asked Wang Dan for instructions, "My lord, the enemy outside is very tenacious. Our soldiers are tired and need to be defended by another team. ”

Although Wang Dan was not as scared as he was at the beginning of the battle, he felt tired from the incessant siege of the legendary Eight Banners, so he agreed, "Change to another team of escorts." Let the soldiers who have exhausted their bodies go down to the city to rest. ”

One of the guards gave the order to leave, and after a while, the shield-wielding spearmen on the wall of Zhaojiabao received the order that they could go down to rest, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, an unexpected situation happened, it turned out that these soldiers who had been fighting non-stop had already exhausted their strength, and they were only supported by the idea of protecting their families, but as soon as they relaxed, they all collapsed on the city wall.

The paralyzed guards on the city wall hindered the second team of guards from defending on the city wall, and the Han Eight Banners actually took the opportunity to swarm to climb the city, and those who were unable to get up were killed, and the second team of guards saw that more and more Han Eight Banners appeared on the city wall and did not dare to step forward to snatch the city, these Han Eight Banners soldiers just carried out the brutality to the end, and only ferocious killing could scare those Ming people, which was the experience they gained from capturing many Ming Dynasty cities.

The slaughtered guards struggled and rolled down the walls, their bloody sight causing the second team of guards to scream in terror.

"The Tartars have attacked the city, the Tartars have attacked the city!"

When these news reached Zhaojiabao, it caused even more panic, and the Han Eight Banners had completely occupied a section of the city wall, coupled with their reinforcements getting more and more, the second team of the escort army finally appeared soldiers who turned around and fled, which drove the fear of the others, and the entire escort army immediately had a tendency to collapse.

Wang Dan on the arrow tower anxiously watched the battle below get out of control, Resarit asked for orders to reorganize the phalanx with Zhao Dashan, Wang Dan let Resarit take full command of the battle, looking at the reserve guards that were being assembled in Zhaojiabao, Wang Dan knew that the last moment was coming.

At this time, Wang Dan's heart was full of fear and sorrow, and he didn't know how many people in Zhaojiabao would survive after tonight. It is recorded in the history books that "the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the massacre of the Han people in Liaodong, the burning and looting of the customs several times, and the countless people who have received money and food." These few simple sentences were the boring content that Wang Dan swept away at a glance when he was studying history, but when the living Eight Banners army went forward one after another, they attacked the city wall without fear of death, and killed the Han people without mercy, but the brutality deeply frightened Wang Dan.

I think back to the scenes of destroyed villages, dead bones and corpses everywhere when I first came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the disgusting and greasy man-eating animals staring at their living people's malicious eyes. Finally, Wang Dan deeply understood the horror of the war in the late Ming Dynasty and the cannibalism of Yi Zi in history.

；“ I can't be defeated, at least I have to protect the people of Zhaojiabao and return to the pass. Wang Dan kept saying this to himself.

A soldier of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty attracted the attention of Wang Dan, a tall and strong man, holding the banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in his hand, bravely rushing up the city wall, cutting down several guards who had no time to escape, and then planting the banner on the city wall.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who were besieging the city also cheered with great momentum: "Long live the Qing Dynasty, long live the Qing Dynasty!" At this moment, the attack of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty became even more ferocious. There is a momentum to win Zhaojiabao in one go.

Manid said nervously to the king, "My lord, it may be better for us to move to another place, the enemy is too strong, it is not cost-effective to fight to the death in this incompletely built castle, and only by finding a new territory to develop can we hope to win." ”

"If you go out, you will lose faster!" as far as I have observed, those people outside have excellent cavalry marksmanship, and the flatter ground is the most suitable for cavalry attacks in the way we Kujits fight, and if we take so many civilians out of this fort, we will only lead to a massacre. In particular, they attack with mounted archery that is not close to the body. ”

"If I had a thousand heavy cavalry, the cavalry archers would be useless. "As a member of the famous Ryrdian Heavy Cavalry Regiment at the top of Kara Ry, Fatis was indeed qualified to comment on cavalry tactics.

Manid said bitterly, "If there is a real Rhodok Kingdom guard here, there is no need to worry about the barbarians from outside coming in." "As a successful merchant, he is full of praise for his exploits in hiring Kingdom guards to protect the passage of the Gronian caravans throughout Kara Rya.

Niza sang Kara's heroic battle song in a deep voice, and as soon as she got up, she was kicked and knocked to the ground by Desaivi, and the hot-tempered female knight said viciously to Niza, "If you want to speak, speak in a proper manner, and don't hum those weak noises." ”

Niza coughed a few times and adjusted her throat. "Your lord, please forgive Desaivi for his rudeness, after all, a man as wonderful as me will always drive some women crazy. After Nili said this, he immediately drew a roar and kick from Desaivi, and he was almost killed and killed.

Regardless of the misconduct of these two men, regardless of the occasion. Wang Dan noticed a new change on the battlefield, Resarit and Zhao Dashan had organized a huge phalanx of 7,000 guards and 30,000 urgently trained militiamen, and were neatly facing the Han Eight Banner Army that occupied the entire section of the city wall.

In addition to continuing to expand the occupied area of the city walls on both sides, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty also had hundreds of people urgently carrying the sand, gravel and soil bags that blocked the city gates, trying to open the city gates, and the Eight Banners army entered Zhaojiabao.

The strong man who planted the banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty at the head of the city looked at the people of Zhaojiabao with a cruel smile. It was like looking at the cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, but out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a bright line rushing towards him, and he felt that his whole body strength suddenly disappeared after a pain. The moment he fell to the ground, he saw a strange ironclad man in the afterglow of the setting sun, aiming at him with a bow. Then the world went dark.

Wang Dan shot the vicious Han banner soldier with an arrow, and also reminded the other archers on the arrow tower that these Han Eight Banner soldiers who attacked the city threw away their leather shields in pursuit of the thrill of killing, and some even took off their shirts and armor and went into battle shirtless. Isn't it a good time to practice archery with so many strong meat targets?

So in the arrow tower facing the Tartars, the archers shot countless arrows from the window, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were shot in groups, but their miserable howls were the happiest thing for the people of Zhaojiabao, and the morale of the guards also quickly rose.

When the Han Eight Banners that attacked the city wall were shot by the rain of arrows and were miserable, and the Han Eight Banners who wanted to climb the wall behind were so pressed that they couldn't raise their heads, many guards lined up to climb the city wall and after a simple attack, the city wall at the city gate was regained, and the Han Eight Banners who still wanted to climb the ladder to continue the siege fought again.

Frightened and furious, Dolgon saw that the Han Eight Banners who had captured the city wall and were opening the city gate were driven off the city wall again, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, those soldiers who were besieging the city were the elite of the Eight Banners, although they were fake, but the combat power was only a little bit worse than the real Manchurian Eight Banners elite.

Fan Wencheng saw the change in the shape of the battlefield, his face was also ugly, and he turned his head to Dolgon and asked carefully, "Lord Belle, this township fort is so against the will of heaven and killed so many soldiers of my Great Qing Dynasty, it should be severely punished, please ask Lord Belle to order the dispatch of the Eight Banners." ”

Dolgon gritted his teeth and said, "These hateful Han barbarians dare to kill my soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, they should be killed!" After speaking, he ordered the soldiers beside him, "Pass my order, and dispatch two thousand marksmen from the Eight Banners to suppress Zhaojiabao with bows and arrows, and be sure to shoot the last arrow." ”

The soldiers led the order, and soon from the real Manchurian Eight Banners Army came out 2,000 heavily armored cavalry, each of them carried a huge bow, rode to a distance of 50 feet from Zhaojiabao to stop, pulled out a special heavy iron arrow from the quiver, aimed at the Zhaojiabao shield spearmen defending at the head of the city.

These 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers are the sharpshooters in the Qing army, belonging to the elite of the elite, and the giant bows they carry can shoot special heavy arrows to a distance of 200 miles, and the arrows hit the enemy's vital point, which is really extremely harmful.

After a special order of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was blown, the two thousand eight banner soldiers released the heavy arrows in their hands, and in a dull whistling sound, the 2,000 heavy long arrows hissed and flew to Zhaojiabao.

The Zhaojiabao guards hurriedly lined up the shields, only to see the heavy arrows fiercely hit the wooden shield, to Wang Dan's surprise was that these heavy arrows actually broke the wooden shields in the front row, and many arrows also pierced through the wooden shields and pierced deeply into the body of the guards.

The wooden shield was a training item that Resarit had made with great difficulty, and it turned out that a shield made of several wooden planks could not stop a man full of arrows.

The first wave of heavy arrows directly killed more than 300 guards, and more people were wounded, and the morale-boosted guards quickly filled the vacant places, and the wounded were also transported back to the fort for treatment.

The Qing army launched several more heavy arrow attacks, but the guards just did not retreat, and did not use any encouraging words to boost morale, and everyone knew the ferocity of the Tartars, and for the safety of their families behind them, they had to resist desperately.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were also injured by heavy arrows, but they did not dare not fight hard to attack the city, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty governed the army very strictly, and there was no order to retreat, they only kept attacking, and those masters who were the heaviest in the military law of the Han army were watching.

Wang Dan ordered all the archers of the Arrow Tower to shoot arrows at the Qing Eight Banners outside the city, they were too dangerous, but these 2,000 marksmen were wearing heavy armor, so the arrows shot by Zhao Jiabao only made these Eight Banners suffer a little injury, but no matter how thick the armor was, it couldn't stop Wang Dan's elven war bow, and he shot six or seven Manchu Eight Banner soldiers in one breath.

The commander of the Eight Banners was so angry that he ordered everyone to shoot arrows back at the strange arrow towers behind the city walls, which immediately reduced the casualties of the shield-wielding spearmen.

The rain of arrows shot from the arrow tower and the heavy arrows shot by the Eight Banners collided violently in the air, and the iron arrows collided at a very fast speed and sparked countless orange-red sparks, which caused the Han Eight Banners and the guards who were fighting on the city wall to look up at the sky.

However, ordinary arrows will eventually be inferior to the power of heavy arrows, countless ordinary arrows were knocked down and scattered, these random arrows can make the siege of the two sides suffer enough, and the soldiers on both sides who look up at the spectacle can't help but be killed by falling arrows in the face and body.

There was a Han Baqi soldier who opened his mouth to look at the flying arrow sparks, but an arrow happened to fall and plunged directly into his throat, that miserable! (wipe a sweat, war is terrible, peace is happy)

Heavy arrows kill through the Zhaojiabao arrow group, deeply inserted in the stone wall of the arrow tower, after several waves of heavy arrows, the arrow tower becomes a tower really full of arrows. Many archers were killed by arrows flying through the perforated and chord windows, and a series of screams rang out from inside the tower.

If he hadn't seen the rain of arrows coming, I'm afraid he would have become a real arrow man by now, but if he looked in the mirror now, he would see that his helmet was full of arrows, much like the explosive head of the later generations. (To be continued......)
