Chapter 70 Heroic! Swear to death!
The Qing army began to bombard Jiangyin City.
As soon as the gun came, the city immediately collapsed. The stonemasons kept repairing the city walls in the artillery fire. The "boom" of the cannons was bombarding.
The scattered stonemasons were inevitably hit. One fell down and could never get up again. He held tools in one hand and a stone in the other.
"Boom" the cannons kept sounding! One shot exploded above the stonemason, blowing down a lot of gravel, but he was unmoved, as if what happened was close to him had nothing to do with him. He was still concentrating on repairing the city wall, and he only heard him muttering to himself: "Repair it as soon as possible! Make it up! Make it up!"
Another shot came, and he was hit by gravel and fell down. There was a lot of blood flowing on his head, but he was still struggling, and he crawled towards the tool that fell to the ground.
He picked it up again and just said in his mouth: "Put it! Fix it! Beat the Tartars!" He repeated it over and over again, and his hands were working.
After a long time, he didn't move at all and just sat like this, lowering his head and blood flowed downwards. He could no longer move. When he looked again, not only was his head severely damaged, but his back was also covered in blood.
Even if he died, he still seemed to hear what he had been repeating just now: "Put it! Make it up! Fight the Tartars!"
A guard stood on the top of the city and shouted, "Come on! Let your shells fly! We won't be a turtle! Counterattack!" As he said that, he shot the arrow out.
At this time, a shell was bombarded, and his head flew away with the fire, and his body was stiff and unsteady; a man's chest and back were penetrated, but he was still standing upright there. Where the city was cracked, the guards wrapped the city with iron leaves and then protected it with iron blocks. Then he used an empty coffin to fill the damaged area, and then soaked cotton wool on the city wall to prevent fire attack.
The Qing army no longer dared to send troops to attack the city. They had no other way except to shoot artillery. Everyone was afraid of death.
In the evening, Yan Yingyuan selected a thousand warriors to go out to the south gate to rob the camp, either holding axe, holding a short sword, or using a shoulder pole to break into the enemy camp, and injured more than a thousand people. When other camps came to rescue, Yingyuan's soldiers had returned to the city.
Time flies, and the fifteenth day of August is approaching, and the city sang "Yixing people, a gun. Wuxi people are incense. Jingjiang people are knelt on the beach. Changzhou people offer their daughters and mothers. Jiangyin people have fought for more than 80 days. I would rather die than surrender."
The Qing army was even more scared during this period. The Qing Dynasty was very superstitious. They believed in ghosts and gods very much, and they would jump into shamans at any time to gain spiritual comfort.
Now, the morale of the army has fluctuated! Because when they heard the people on the city start to shout, they all thought it was a ghost cry. In the open spaces around the city, they saw tens of thousands of white geese flying there, and when they approached, they saw no trace at all. Those who knew said that it was the rise and fall of the soul. The white geese were the souls of people in disasters.
The people on the city shouted excitedly: "Did you see it? Even the villagers who left us first, their souls are still helping us defend the city! The Tartars are afraid! Haha!"
"Yes! Donglu is scared! Look at their appearance, it's so funny! Haha!" There were bursts of ridicule from the city.
Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and others also laughed, but they were not happy because they knew that Jiangyin City was becoming more and more difficult to defend, and they were almost at the end of their strength.
Under the ridicule of the people in the city, the Qing soldiers were all shrugging their heads, and they did not dare to look up at the people in the city.
In response to this situation, Boluo and Nikan could only invite shamans and let the shamans jump to the great gods, so that the gods could descend to the shamans to indicate how to break through Jiangyin City.
When a man is sick, sometimes he doesn't go to see a doctor or doctor first, but invites a shaman to treat the disease. Not to mention, the shaman also guides Boluo and Nikan how to break through Jiangyin City.
The Qing army first raided the northeast corner in chaos, followed by empty cannons to radiate smoke, and an army quickly passed through the moat. For this reason, Jiangyin City was captured by the Qing army.
The Qing army was scared to death. Even if they occupied the city gate, they would not dare to enter the city. At night, when they saw the city boiling, they knew that the city was in panic and had no ability to drive them. Only then did the Qing soldiers plucked up the courage to rush into the city.
Yan Yingyuan sat upright at the top of the city. He knew that the Qing soldiers were under the city, and there were many gaps in the city, which was difficult to block the Qing soldiers. Moreover, the strength of the city was used up, and most of them had already died in battle.
Someone came to report: "Dianshi, the Qing army has attacked the city! What should I do?" Then the people looked at Yan Yingyuan, waiting for Yan Yingyuan's order.
Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but smile, looked at the many people, and asked, "Now we are at the end of our strength, what do you think?"
More than a thousand people heard Yan Yingyuan say this and knew that they had no hope, only to die. However, they were not afraid of death, but instead they looked at death and shouted in unison: "War! Never surrender!"
The city walls that had become fragile because of the cannons, all of them were falling down. When the Qing army under the city heard this, they were shocked, and one or two couldn't help but tremble. They were still scared when they thought about the scene of attacking Jiangyin these days and losing their soldiers and generals!
"Okay! That's great!" Yan Yingyuan was very satisfied with the answers of more than a thousand warriors. Yan Yingyuan asked a question on the city tower: "On the eighty days, they were loyal to Taizu, and the 17th dynasty figures; 100,000 people were united in their hearts and died, and they left the country of Ming Dynasty for three hundred miles."
"Okay!" The people were very excited, and Yan Yingyuan shouted: "Everyone comes with me! Kill one is enough, kill one and earn one!"
"Kill one is enough, kill one and earn one!" The roar of more than a thousand people! Yan Yingyuan waved his sword, and he led them down the city to fight with the Qing army.
The Qing army rushed over like clouds, and Yan Yingyuan and his more than a thousand men were not afraid of the Qing army at all, and they swear to serve the country to the death.
The people of Jiangyin either twisted the Qing soldiers and fell from the city together, or dragged the Qing soldiers into the fire house to die together. The Qing soldiers were brave and capable people who had been through battle formations and were tempered for a long time, so these people often sacrificed three, even five, or more than six people to exchange for the life of the Qing soldiers.
Even so, they still came forward one after another. Yes! If you can kill one more Qing soldiers, you will count on one! "Kill one more!" This became the wish in Jiangyin men's heart, and they were also fighting to the death for this wish.
Not only these men are heroes, but even women can be praised! Some of them have children on the top of the city because of their husbands and children on the top of the city, and the women also come to the top of the city.
"Kill!" The Qing soldiers shouted, cut off the stick with one knife, and chopped a citizen to the ground. With a "boh", a woman rushed over and hugged the Qing soldiers' feet tightly. What she revealed from her firm gaze was fearless: "Kill!"
With a "boh!", it stabbed into the woman's body with a knife. The Qing soldiers shouted: "I think you won't let go!" But the woman did not let go. Even though her mouth was covered with blood, her eyes were still sharp.
"Go!" Another woman rushed over and hugged her feet tightly. "I'll kill again!" Another knife came down. A woman was also running over at the same time. She also wanted to entangle the Qing soldiers like these companions to let the men kill the enemy.
"Who dares to come up! I'll kill! Kneel!" The Qing soldiers shouted, pointing with a frost knife, because the Qing soldiers have come to Jiangnan since they entered Jiangnan, as long as he put his face straight and pointed at the knife, and shouted "Kneel".
Those men who say they are the country and are not afraid of death, and they will be heroes. Hundreds of them all fell to a soldier in front of a soldier. There is gold under the knees of men! Why are you kneeling down so weakly!
More than a hundred people! Can't I beat a Man Bing? What's even more shameful is that I let my wife and children be allowed to be humiliated by Man Bing, but I was kneeling and sobbing, and sad. The words I said in the past to protect my wife and children were still ringing in my ears, but today I saw a sharp knife with blood, and there was no bloodiness or a man's dignity.
Shameful! This is really a shame for the Han people!
Compared with the lower class women who died by jumping into the well one by one, the women and nobles on the upper class heard that as long as they serve the uncle, they could not die, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister, mother and daughter rushed up with charming smiles, and carried lust one by one, fighting for the land just to survive!
Sad! Alas!
Today, in Jiangyin, this situation does not occur! Whether it is men or women, they are all interpreting the dignity of the Han people and the unyielding spirit of the Han people! They are all interpreting "China cannot be deceived"!!!
Even when facing the bloody sharp knife, Man Bing had killed two women holding his feet, but there were still women rushing over. They were not afraid of death, and they also wanted to fight! They wanted to tell the robbers, executioners, even Chinese women could stand half the sky! They were all women as good as men!
"Drink!" A little big boy who had not yet grown up ran over with a big wooden tree, "I'll kill you!" the Qing soldier shouted, but his knife could not be moved at all, because the woman had already grabbed his knife tightly.
The knife was covered with blood, and the weak little hands were covered with blood, but she said she would not let go of anything. With a "bang", the Qing soldiers were hit by the head and he fainted.
Seeing that the boy had knocked down the Qing soldiers, he wanted to lift the big wood and smash it again, but it was too heavy and he felt very difficult. He didn't understand why he could have such great strength to lift the big wood just now. How difficult it is to lift it now.
When he saw the person who was dead around him, he gritted his teeth and raised the big tree and smashed it at the Qing soldiers again. Because he was not strong enough, he just hit the left half of the Qing soldiers who were lying on the ground.
