Especially because they couldn't light up torches and go on their way, more than half of the Han soldiers who had recently surrendered in the ranks had sparrow blindness, so they had to put these Han soldiers in the middle of the ranks, guide them by the front, and draw them in behind to barely let them keep up. Of course, this greatly slowed down the marching speed of the troops.

Ahanikan looked back, although he couldn't see the appearance of everyone in the team behind him in the dark, he could hear the panting sounds of his subordinates nearby, and some people even sat on the side of the road and had already creaked. Yeah, I bit the snow to keep my thirst.If it was in normal times, Ahanikan would definitely reprimand the past. After running such a long distance to drink unclean raw water, it is easy to get upset, but tonight he can only ignore it, because the current conditions Boiling water is not allowed, and the soldiers cannot be thirsty to go to the battlefield.

While waiting for Kadahun and others to arrive, Ahanikan couldn't help but look towards the south again. The dark mountain shadow covered the southern sky, and he could hardly see anything, but Kadahun knew that Behind those mountains is Qingshiguan.It was precisely because they could not attack Qingshiguan that they had no choice but to choose tonight's night attack.

Their journey started from Jinan, Xiaduping, Zhoucun Town, Zichuan, and Yanshen Town all went smoothly, with almost no resistance, but they were blocked at Qingshiguan for half a month.

It's not that the Shun army guarding Qingshi Pass is so tenacious, but Qingshi Pass is too dangerous.Qingshiguan is actually an ancient road. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was already the throat of the main road between Qi and Lu. The Great Wall of Qi was built here.

The Qingshiguan Castle is built on the commanding heights south of the mouth of the valley. The 6-mile-long rock path outside the north gate is called "Wengkou Road". This path is located between the valleys, with green peaks on both sides and walls Like a knife cut, it is close to the gate, which is the narrowest and most difficult place to walk. The cliffs on both sides stand tall, and the mountain is in a "V" shape. The narrowest point is less than two meters, and only one wooden wheeled cart can pass through. Once it is blocked here, it will be impassable for two or three days.

With such a dangerous terrain, it can really be said that one man is in charge of the other.As long as the defenders have the determination to fight, how many people come below will die.Gushan Erzhenwanyan Malaxi urged the Tu Guobao Army to attack for five days, killing and injuring hundreds of people. The Han army finally couldn't stand it anymore and refused to go to the prison to die.

Generally speaking, after a few heavy snowfalls in winter, the mountain road can no longer be walked, at least until the next spring when the flowers bloom and the snow melts before entering the mountain.Qingshiguan is located in the south of Mount Tai, so the date of closing the mountain will be later than that in the north of Mount Tai, but it will not exceed the end of December in the lunar calendar at the latest.In other words, if they can't win Qingshiguan as soon as possible, they should have a rest on this journey.

This is naturally unacceptable to Aixinjueluo Boluo, the commander-in-chief of Gushan Beizi. Now is the time for the Eight Banners to make achievements. Boluo, who has taken refuge in Dorgon, wants to perform well, but he is blocked. As for this small Qingshiguan, doesn't this show Boluo's incompetence?You know, at this time, the armies from all walks of life have never heard of any obstacles.

Although Boluo didn't issue any time-limited orders directly to the frontline generals, he and Ashan were stationed in Zichuan County, but he still gave some hints to Gushan Ezhenwanyan Malaxi, who was in charge of the frontline command.

The two red flags are now grandsons, who made them refuse to stand on Dorgon's side. As a result, although Dorgon lost his position, he still seized the regent power.So after forcing Daishan to return home for the elderly, and making Jierharang give up his power to co-regent with himself, Dorgon also had the strength to beat the two red flags.

For example, in the battle of Huangtuzhuang and Tianjin, the two red flags were forced to take the lead.In the Battle of Tianjin, Xianghongqi lost at least three Niulu troops. Although this may not be Dorgon's original intention, after all, Dorgon just wanted to beat the two red flags, not to destroy them, but in fact Xianghongqi Got hit hard.

This time, Duoduo arranged Xianghongqi as a surprise soldier, and it was also out of good intentions, as compensation for the heavy damage caused to Xianghongqi in the Battle of Tianjin. After all, he raided Tai'an from the mountain road and would not encounter any resistance from the main force of the Shun army. , while the other three roads faced the large troops of the Shun Army.

It’s just that Duoduo thinks so, but the people below him don’t think so. For example, Zhengbai Qigushan Erzhen Yiergenjueluo Ashan, he is definitely not willing to let his own people take any risks, while Boluo’s Father Abatai and Ah Shan also had a good friendship, so Boluo would naturally not refute Ah Shan's face, so Xianghongqi became the coolie who took the lead along the way.

Although Malaxi was annoyed, it was useless to be annoyed. Now is not Huang Taiji's time.In Huang Taiji's era, in order to weaken the two white flags, he always used the two white flags as the forward, and the Dorgon brothers made repeated military exploits because of this.Now that Dorgon has come to power, he will naturally take revenge on the two yellow flags and other flags that are close to the two yellow flags.

Faced with Boluo's hint, Malaxi could only fight hard. After investigating the surrounding terrain, he decided to open a breakthrough at Qiaoling.Qiaoling is actually more dangerous than "Wengkou Road". After all, "Wengkou Road" can still be driven, but Qiaoling can only be traveled on foot here.However, after passing Qiaoling, you can go directly to the back of Qingshi Pass along a valley. This is the only way to break the deadlock at Qingshi Pass.

So Ahanikan and Gadahun took 300 Manchurian soldiers, 100 Han army flags and 200 green battalions to undertake the mission of this surprise attack. The task of the green battalion soldiers is to carry armor and dry food for the Manchurian soldiers. The Manchu soldiers themselves carried armor and dry food.

It's not that Marahi and the others are reluctant to let the green battalion soldiers go all out, but that the Manchurians don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the Han army at all now, and they can only rely on the Manchurian soldiers to fight hard at this critical time.

The fact is also the same. The Manchurian soldiers who walked most of the night sat down to rest and still kept silent, while the Green Battalion soldiers in the middle of the team started to make noise as soon as they stopped. Fortunately, it is winter and there are no birds in the forest. It's time to change the sneak attack to a strong attack.A group of Manchurian soldiers rushed forward and beat and kicked the Green Battalion soldiers, finally calming them down.

When Ahanikan was worried about the situation of the team behind him, several black shadows walked over from the mountain road, and he finally recognized Kadahun and others coming from the reflection of the snow.

Ahanikan, leaning on the rock behind him, stood up, greeted Kadahun, and then signaled Wei Qi beside him to draw the passage of Qiaolingqian Village and the surrounding terrain on the snow.

Wei Qi immediately found a branch and squatted on the ground to draw it. As a businessman who often went to Qiaoling and other places to collect mountain goods, he was quite familiar with the terrain here, so he quickly learned the road, terrain and the village. The pattern is drawn.Then he cautiously said to Men Shike next to him: "After the Shun army sealed off the mountain road, I heard that many things were repaired, but Xiaomin is not too sure."

Listening to Men Shike's recitation, Ahanikan said to Wei Qi in blunt Chinese: "As long as what you tell is the truth, we will reward you when we conquer this village..."

Chapter 311 Night Attack II

Ahanikan then turned his head and asked Gadahun, "Gadahun, tell me how we will fight this battle."

Although Ahanikan was the general in charge of tonight's sneak attack, the one hundred Ba Yala soldiers led by Kadahun were the main force along the way, so Ahanikan still respected Kadahun's opinion.Of course, in terms of military experience, Kadahun is also more experienced. Although he is less than 16 years old, he has been fighting for [-] years.

Kadahun knew very well that the purpose of being sent to assist Ahanikan was not only to suppress the battle for Ahanikan, but more importantly, Gushan Ezhen Marahi hoped to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and open the gate leading to the rear of Qingshi Pass. aisle.

To be honest, the two red flags don't trust the Dorgon brothers now.If their way was really blocked at Qingshi Pass, could the great general, Prince Yu Duoduo, really allow them to Maodong in Yanshen Town?It is difficult to find camps and supplies for the winter when they are mobilized to other areas to participate in the war in such weather, because other armies have already run out.

The reason why Prince Yu wanted to divide his troops to attack was not to seize more territory or to exhaust the Shun army, but because the rear could not afford the supplies for the army going south.Although they went all the way to the south, they did not encounter any resistance, such as Dezhou, Dongchangfu, Jinan and other places, but Linqing, Jinan and other places were looted by Abatai when they entered the customs before, and they have not recovered yet. vitality.

Although Dezhou and other places were lucky enough to escape the looting of Abatai's invasion, they were moved southward by Li Zicheng with a large number of people and supplies.Therefore, although the Qing army has repeatedly won on the battlefield, it has not received much supplies. In addition, the surrender of former Ming officials such as Dong Xueli has increased the consumption of the Qing army.

So after occupying Jinan, Prince Yu had to divide his troops into four groups and let each army occupy an area to collect grain and fodder.Although the division of troops rapidly expanded the area occupied by the Qing army, it also weakened the main offensive force of the Qing army going south along the canal.

Now the most troublesome thing for the Qing army is not to find the main decisive battle of the Shun army, but to seize the supplies of the Shun army.At the beginning of June, the Qing army suffered setbacks in Tianjin and had to stop pursuing Li Zicheng to reorganize and surrender to the Ming army. From now on, it seems that it was a wrong decision.

Because from June to October, Li Zicheng relocated the city personnel near the canal north of the Daqing River without any hesitation, as well as various local material reserves, the most important of which were grain, gunpowder, iron and copper and other materials.

This also means that when Li Zicheng gave up Tianjin, he had already decided to leave the north of the Daqing River to them.Although they occupied the north of the Daqing River, they hardly got any supplies, and they couldn't even catch the masters who transported supplies for the army. This kind of battle was never encountered by the Eight Banners in the past.

You must know that when they were outside the pass, although those Ming troops did not dare to go out to fight in the city, they were still quite active in building forts outside the pass. The Ming army outside the pass tried to use these forts to protect the fields of the Han people. The attitude still needs to be shown, after all, the loss of land will be punished by the Han emperor.

Therefore, when the Eight Banners fought against these Ming troops who trapped themselves in the fortress, they never worried that there would be no supplies to supply. As long as the fortress was broken, there would be military rations.The fortresses built by the Ming army in the wild are, in their view, supply points.

And after the Eight Banners detour through the Great Wall pass and enter the mainland, there is no need to worry about supplies, because even the poorest cities in the north are richer than those outside the pass.So as long as the city is opened, there is no need to worry about lack of supplies, and you can even arrest Han people as coolies and transport the looted property back to the outside of the pass.

After fighting the Ming army for too long, the Qing army is not used to establishing logistics supplies by itself.Therefore, when encountering Li Zicheng's tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, the Qing army was a little dazed.They have indeed won many victories now, but victories without supplies are failures for the Eight Banners.

Although Dorgon wanted to seize the empire of Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Eight Banners below just regarded war as a means to make a fortune, and fought desperately against the Han people, the purpose was not to seize the property of the Han people and capture a few Han people as slaves Do you work for yourself?

For the soldiers of the Eight Banners, fighting is like farming and doing business for the Han people. It is just a means of earning a living. As for the honor of the so-called Manchu warriors and the establishment of a Manchurian Empire that conquered the Central Plains, this dream has nothing to do with most soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Since the war is to seize the supplies of the Han people, who will distribute the property in their pockets to others?If the Eight Banners were so intimate, Xianhan would not have to always emphasize that the seized property should be returned to the public, and that property should not be hidden in private.

Therefore, whether it is to cater to Boluo Beizi or for themselves, it is serious to win Qingshiguan as soon as possible and open the passage to Tai'an and Laiwu. After all, these two cities have not been looted by Abatai.

Gadahun squatted on the ground and looked at the map drawn on the snow under the light of the snow. After thinking for a while, he said without raising his head: "The left side of this mountain road is valleys and cliffs, and the left side is obviously impossible to go around. .

This Qiaolingqian village is located on the valley between the two mountains, and there is a zigzag slope on the mountain road in front of the village, which is obviously a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.If we can't attack the mountain pass in one go, we will fall into the predicament of being beaten and unable to fight back.

Therefore, the first wave of attacks must go all out.In addition, people should be sent to feel it from the right side of the mountain road, isn't it said that there is a steep road that herbs collectors can walk?Let the guide lead people there, Alxa, you take 30 Ba Yala soldiers to the right, if you can touch the Yukou, you can meet us from the inside. "

A Ba Ya La Jia La Zhang Jing responded in a low voice in the dark, and Ahanikan also said aloud: "Then let me lead the team in the frontal attack, and you Zhang Jing will sweep the formation for me from behind."

But Kadahun shook his head and said: "You are not familiar with my subordinates. I am not at ease if you take them to fight such a tough battle. You will support me in the back. If you are accidentally discovered by the defenders, you We must suppress them with bows and arrows, and we cannot allow them to cast rolling stones or slack trees. If a single log falls down in this terrain, we might all fall into the valley, and we will really die without a whole body."

After thinking for a few breaths, Ahanikan no longer insisted. He nodded and said: "So, do you need to rest before attacking?"

Gadahun stood up, and while beckoning his personal guards to fetch his armor bag, he replied: "After walking all night, everyone's hands and feet just happened to be able to move, and they would freeze soon after sitting down and resting. Let's attack it now, if we can't, we won't be able to go back to Yanshen Town on the mountain road, so let's fight with our lives."

Ahanikan knew that what Gadahun said was right, if they couldn't capture Qiaolingqian Village, who would have the strength to run back to Yanshen Town, now is indeed the time to desperately.

As Ahanikan and Gadahun made an attack plan, the team on the mountain road immediately took action.At this time, those Han soldiers were useless. After handing over the supplies they were carrying, they gave way and were driven to the end of the team.The soldiers of the Manchu and Han Eight Banners began to cooperate with each other, putting on long armor or short armor for their companions.

It took nearly two quarters of an hour for the 400 Manchu and Eight Banners soldiers in the team to put on their armor and check the various weapons hanging on their bodies.A guide, Ding Sheng, led a small group of Ba Ya La soldiers and turned into the mountain forest on the right first, looking for the trail that could climb up the valley, listening to the soldiers stepping on the snow in the forest. The sound, Ahanikan can only sigh, the snow is really not conducive to sneak attacks.

On the other side, Kadahun led the remaining 70 Bayala soldiers in front of the team, with 30 in front and 40 in the rear.The 30 people in the front held heavy weapons such as axes and sickles, while the 40 people in the back held bows and arrows.

After these 70 people, Ahanikan took 200 people and divided them into four teams, each with 50 people, all holding bows and arrows.Next, the fifty Han army flags led by Men Shiwen followed behind with a large number of arrows on their backs, while Men Shike took fifty Han army flags and looked at the 200 Han troops behind while guarding the supplies. , While preventing these Han troops from making any noise to disturb the village in front.

A quarter of an hour later, Gadahun saw the zigzag mountain road and the stone wall on the almost vertical cliff.Yukou is on the right side of the Zigzag Mountain Road, and it is at least 2 feet high from the bottom to the top of the Zigzag. Including the wall of Yukou, it is almost [-] feet high.At the end of the zigzag, a gate was also built with logs, and there was a sentry tower on the side, and the lights in the building just shone on the ramp in front of the gate.

Ga Dahun stared at the watchtower for a long time, then asked Jialaerzhen and Tuo beside him, "Can you see anyone in the watchtower?"

He Tuo stared at the watchtower and shook his head and said, "I can't see it. Unless you go to the bottom of the ramp, you can't see clearly what's going on in the building."

Ga Dahun knew that this was a trouble, if the people in the watchtower could not be dealt with, they would not be able to get close to the gate at all.He Tuo also lowered his voice and said, "This wooden door is made of whole wood, and we won't be able to split it open for a while. If it gets entangled on the ramp, our casualties will be great."

Gadahun gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before opening his mouth and said: "Find two nimble and strong men, let them take off their armor, and go to the door with sickle guns, and the others take their bows and arrows to find their own positions. Strong attack. You take a team of people ready and walk up the cliff.

The Shun army's defenses are all on the right side, and their blind spot is under the cliff on the right side.You rush up to hack the door, and I will lead people to suppress the Shun army with bows and arrows. The next thing is to see if you can open the door. Even if we can cut a hole that is extraordinary, we will win. "

Although He Tuo was a little timid, he also knew that there was no way out at this time, and they couldn't just go down the mountain in such a desperate manner.After some arrangements, two young and thin strong men were selected. Each of them held two sickle guns and listened to the veterans on the side telling them the key to climbing with sickle guns.

Then He Tuo also came over with fifteen veterans holding axes. These 15 people took an extra pair of cotton armor from their companions and put them on outside, which is equivalent to wearing triple armor.Obviously, they were expecting to use the triple armor to carry the Shun army's arrows or lead bullets.

Chapter 312 Night Attack Part Three

Gao Sheng, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of a dog barking. He immediately grabbed the cotton coat at the head of the bed and put it on. When he got off the ground and put on the cotton shoes, there was already a knock on the door, a hurried and frightened voice Shouted outside: "Boss, Boss, wake up, there are enemies attacking at night."

Gao Sheng rushed to the door with a few strides and unbolted the bolt. After opening the door, he yelled at the shouting soldiers outside: "What are you shouting about?"

The guards standing outside the door were frightened by Gao Sheng, and immediately stayed there.Gao Sheng's dormitory is on the second floor. This is a small courtyard-style fortress, which just blocks the gap from the mountain path.

On the opposite side of the small building where Gao Sheng lives and on the left is an L-shaped brick and stone bungalow with a wooden shed on the roof, and the outer stone wall blocks the front of the valley. main area of ​​.

It's just that the more than ten guards on duty at night on the flat roof are either running around in a panic, or screaming, as if someone has been injured.The soldiers who came out of the room in the courtyard were also in chaos. Some wanted to go to the roof to help their comrades, some shouted to open the arsenal, and some said they should light the lights first.

Gao Sheng supported the wooden railing with both hands, and yelled down: "Be quiet, Li Dadou, Liu Yishi, are you there?"

Gao Sheng's roar had an immediate effect. Not only did the soldiers below stop, but even the dogs in the yard paused for a few breaths.Then two people responded to Gao Sheng in unison in different corners of the yard, and Gao Sheng was also relieved to hear that the two hundred households were still there.

Soon he shouted down: "Li Dadou, tonight is your second team's night duty, let the second team go to the roof to defend, and everyone else goes to the yard to regroup. Li Jin, take your people to clear the yard first." Light the lights inside, and then light the lights in front of the gate to see how many people are attacking.

Zhao Huai, lead your team to implement the No. [-] plan.Liu Yishi, you organize the rest of the team, then open the arsenal and take out the supplies you need.Pay attention to protection, don't let those gunpowder get close to open flames..."

Under Gao Sheng's series of instructions, the soldiers below finally regained order, stopped trying to act on their own, and began to return to their own team. The chaotic situation finally improved.

Only then did Gao Sheng put on the armor with the help of two soldiers, and continued to order to the soldiers around him: "Xiaoer, you go and inform the villagers in the village and ask them to gather the women and children in Wei Guangcai's house, and then leave them behind." 20 young and strong guarded Wei Guangcai's house, and other people came to assist in the defense according to the usual formation, if Jiannu broke through the valley, they would have nowhere to escape."

A young soldier agreed and hurried downstairs.Gao Sheng, who had put on his armor here, also went downstairs with four or five soldiers around him. At this time, the brazier placed in the four corners of the courtyard had been uncovered, and the basin was filled with dry firewood soaked in turpentine. So when a torch was thrown in, the fire was quickly lit.

The courtyard soon became brightly lit, and with the light, the soldiers' emotions became more stable.At this time, two braziers were also lit on the flat roof, illuminating the flat roof. As far as Gao Sheng could see, no enemy had climbed over the stone wall, but there were two soldiers lying on the roof, and one was shot by an arrow. It was shot in the shoulder, so it still had the strength to scream, and one was shot directly in the neck, and it seemed that it was out of breath.

Gao Sheng woke up immediately, and shouted to the soldiers in the yard: "Stand aside, stand under the shed, don't stand in the middle. Liu Yishi, send someone to pull up the cloth barrier that blocks the arrows..."

Before Gao Sheng's words fell, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the night sky, and then a rain of arrows scattered in the courtyard or on the wooden front porch in front of the stone building.Fortunately, Gao Sheng reminded that most of the soldiers hid in time under the wooden shed in front of the bungalow to protect them from the rain. Only a few dozen soldiers who didn't react were still standing in the middle of the yard and were attacked by this round of arrow rain.

However, except for five or six extremely unlucky soldiers who were injured by arrows, almost everyone else was fine.Gao Sheng took over the arrow pulled out from the wooden post by the soldiers, and knew why there were so few injured people, because this is a light arrow specially used for throwing, and its lethality is not strong. The slaves also diffuse aimlessly towards the fire, so as long as soldiers wearing helmets and cotton coats will not be injured.

Gao Sheng threw away the arrow in his hand, and when he was about to say something, he heard Li Dadou, a hundred households on the roof of the bungalow opposite, shouting anxiously towards him: "Mr. , can't see how many enemies are outside. They, they are cutting the gate..."

The soldiers who had calmed down at first became a little confused when they heard Li Baihu's words.Gao Sheng secretly fucked Li Baihu's mother in his heart, but he raised his voice again and shouted: "If Jiannu came over with a large group, why bother to make a night raid, drive the mountain road in the middle of the night without making any movement, at most it will be There are only a few hundred people. We have a good location, and they must be exhausted after running all night. As long as we don’t panic, they won’t be able to attack Yukou. Let Jianu climb up."

After shouting at the top of his voice, Gao Sheng immediately called Liu Yishi and several other general banners of the whole team over, and he told them: "The second team guards the roof, the third team is below, and the fourth team is waiting for you." [-]. The fifth team will guard the gate, and the first team will follow me. Liu Baihu, go to the north guard post and remind the sixth team to be careful of people climbing the stone wall. Although the mountain over there is steep, it can still be climbed. It will be troublesome if you touch it."

Liu Baihu agreed, but said with some worry: "I've passed, can you always handle it here?"

Gao Sheng listened carefully to the movement at the gate, and then said: "At this time, we have to work hard. I don't believe that Jiannu can come with thousands of people. We can decide whether to leave or stay as long as we last until dawn."

Hearing that Gao Sheng didn't intend to stick to it, Liu Baihu took a few people away with peace of mind.Watching Liu Baihu leave, Gao Sheng said to a general banner beside him: "Go and move out the iron watermelon and iron cantaloupe, put some on the roof of the bungalow in the south, and put some in the corner of the west wall."

Then Gao Sheng said to Zhao Huai: "Is your team properly equipped?"

Zhao Huai glanced back and said, "It's almost there, the gunpowder has already been distributed."

Gao Sheng then pointed to the west and said: "Go out of the yard and form six teams behind the antlers. You can take turns shooting when Jiannu breaks through the gate. Don't stop without my order..."

When Gao Sheng was giving orders in Yukou, the fifteen ax soldiers led by He Tuo were about to cut a big hole in the wooden door.In fact, this section of the mountain road can only accommodate seven or eight people side by side, so the soldiers who went forward to chop the door could only go up to five people.

Although the initial sneak attack failed due to the barking of dogs in the valley, one of the two strong men who wanted to climb with the help of sickle guns jumped down, and the other was stabbed down by the defender with a long spear, but the defender He was also shot to death with an arrow.After that, He Tuo no longer considered the attack of climbing and jumping over the wall, but devoted all his energy to the effort to break through the gate.

Because He Tuo knew very well that he could rush in wearing armor after breaking through the gate, but if he wanted to climb this ten-foot-plus stone wall, at least he had to take off the armor that weighed tens of kilograms on his body first, because they didn't carry a ladder.Fighting without armor is obviously a gamble of life.This is not the time when Taizu first started his army. At that time, the lives of the Jurchens were worthless, but now no one is willing to abandon their family property and die in vain.

Hetuo's hard work has also paid off. The wood in winter is actually very fragile. It took less than a quarter of an hour for the shape of a hole to appear on the gate.However, the defenders on the stone wall were firmly pressed into the wall by the archers behind them. Occasionally, a few arrows shot down, but none of them penetrated the first heavy armor on their bodies.

He Tuo said contemptuously to his companions: "These southern barbarians in the pass are still using such soft bows and light arrows, which can't even break our helmets. It seems that God taught us to succeed tonight."

A fendishiku next to him said with some concern: "I heard the movement inside has gradually subsided. It seems that the Nanmanzi has come back to his senses."

He Tuo waved his hand to let the rested axemen come forward to replace them, and stared at the gate and said, "Even if we are fighting in formation, can these southern barbarians still block our blow?"

As he said that, He Tuo raised his voice and shouted to the soldiers who cut down the door: "Everyone, work harder. After you knock down the door, you can go in and have a drink of hot soup."

The ax soldiers who chopped down the door replied in unison and worked harder.After another three or four rounds, a big hole that could accommodate three people bending over was finally cut out by these ax soldiers.As the door panel made of a large piece of logs fell, the axemen in front rushed in immediately.

The ax soldier who got into the gate didn't think much, and directly lifted the eight logs against the gate, and opened the gate.But the dozen or so slaves who rushed into the gate were shocked to find that behind the gate was not a passage, but a flat land about fifteen steps long and thirty steps wide, with a slight downward slope, followed by a barbed wire fence more than ten feet high , behind the wire fence is a slope and a row of antlers made of logs.To their left was a cliff, and to their right was another stone wall.This is actually a small urn city.

The Jian slaves who rushed through the gate did not realize that they were being exposed to light.An iron cover was installed on the brazier behind the barbed wire and the stone wall. Under the cover of these iron covers, the fire light was finally refracted from the gaps, and these gaps were aimed at the flat ground inside the gate.In other words, the Jiannu who rushed into the gate was now clearly seen by the defenders.

Zhao Huai stood on the east side of the antler. He glanced at the Jiannu who were gradually pouring in at the door, and then shouted to the first row of soldiers standing behind the antler: "Raise your gun, get ready, shoot. The second row takes a step forward... "

With the double protection of barbed wire and antlers, the Shunjun soldiers holding matchlock guns were extremely calm. Under the order of captain Zhao Huai, they raised their guns and fired, then automatically stepped aside and went to the end of the line to reload their guns. Just like the usual training shooting.

Chapter 313 Night Attack IV

The flat ground behind the gate is not a regular square, but an irregular trapezoid, with the narrow side at the gate and the wide side at the barbed wire side.Therefore, the Shunjun soldiers standing behind the antlers kept 10 musketeers shooting side by side without being crowded, but when they shot towards the gate, it became a dense line of bullets.

Although the musketeers led by Zhao Huai were not all equipped with the latest heavy-duty matchlock guns or reduced-weight matchlock guns, in addition to the 20 heavy-duty matchlock guns, the other 40 bird guns were also very powerful at such a short distance. .

And Zhao Huai put the heavy matchlock guns in the first and second rows, so the first ten slave ax soldiers who rushed into the gate, even though they were wearing triple armor, could not block the lead weighing 1.5 taels. Even if someone was just shot in the arm, the arm would be broken immediately and fainted from the pain.

After two rounds of shooting, only Hetuo and three or four axemen at the back of the team were lucky enough to survive.This was because they had just supported their collaborators who were about to fall, and they suffered another round of shooting, which was regarded as blocking the bullet for themselves.

Facing the situation in front of him, He Tuo only felt his scalp go numb. It's not that he has never experienced the power of the bird's gun. The Korean's bird's gun or Daming's bird's gun cannot penetrate triple armor at close range. After piercing through the weaker part of the armor leaf, in the end it was just the feeling of being bitten. At that time, I was still able to continue fighting.

But like the current round of shooting, it will completely lose its combat effectiveness, and it is still wearing triple armor, which is almost as powerful as a reduced version of the red cannon.Just when He Tuo was beating his heart, thinking about whether to go back and get a shield car to come over, there was an angry shout from behind, "He Tuo, what are you waiting for, rush up and get close, don't let the They went on firing the guns."

Feeling that the respondent had already rushed behind him, Hetuo could only feel overwhelmed, covered his face with his arms and rushed forward, shouting: "Go hit the barbed wire fence, follow me and rush over..."

When He Tuo yelled, another round of Shun Jun's shooting started, and when He Tuo felt hit on the chest and felt that he was going to die in his heart, he found that nothing happened to him.Although he didn't know what happened, the armor on his body still blocked Shunjun's bullets after all, which made him courageous, so he continued to shout and slammed into the barbed wire fence in front of him.

Just as Hetuo led the Xinli army to rush towards the barbed wire fence ahead, Gao Sheng stood in front of a [-]-jin bamboo-jointed cannon on the stone wall on their right. But it's cast iron.Although the shooting range is not as good as that of the Bronze Fagong Cannon, the power of shotguns fired within these dozens of steps is much stronger than that of the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

Unlike in the past, when gunpowder was loaded, large and small lead bullets were stuffed into the barrel of the gun. The large and small lead bullets weighing 2.5 catties were packed in a circular iron bucket, which not only speeded up the loading, but also reduced the damage to the gun bore.After seeing at least 30 Jiannu pouring into the gate, Gao Sheng took the red-hot iron stick and inserted it into the hole at the rear of the cannon.

Jiannu, who was attracted by the musket shooting, did not immediately notice the cannon hidden behind the stone wall, or before the cannon was pushed to the crenel, no one noticed that there would be a cannon here.

This shelling immediately sent away a dozen or so archers in the middle of the flat ground below.After these Jiannu archers rushed in, they were trying to use their bows and arrows to help their companions suppress the Shun army's musketeers, but they just happened to stand on the center line of the cannon fire on the stone wall.
