Chapter five hundred and nineteenth death fight
When Li Dingguo saw that two 5-meter-wide gaps were suddenly collapsed at the two fort walls in the north and south, his heart suddenly became blank.
The inner city wall that was guarding desperately was eventually blown up by the Qing army at all costs, causing Li Dingguo to completely snipe the ant siege plan to snipe the Qing army. The current inner city guard has reached a very serious moment.
what to do?
Now that the city wall has appeared in a huge gap, the difficulty level of the Qing army will increase in geometric levels.
Moreover, the Tang army now has less than 7,000 troops, basically with long-range troops and auxiliary troops. It is almost unimaginable to use such a little force to deal with the bloodthirsty Qing army outside the city, which has been bloodthirsty and fierce for a long battle formation. It is almost unimaginable to call it hell level.
But, can Li Dingguo have other choices now?
After a moment of thinking, he quickly ordered: "Transfer our military orders, and the entire army quickly retreated from the city, set up roadblocks at the gap to block the gap, and organize defense on the spot. Crossbow soldiers are in front and auxiliary soldiers are in back, so be sure not to let the enemy enter the inner city!"
"Get orders!"
Under Li Dingguo's order, he immediately saw that the remaining Qing army chariots were all abandoned by the Qing army, and the Qing army holding excavation tools were retreating as fast as possible.
Outside the city wall, Li Dingguo could see from afar that the Qing army was rushing toward the gap between the north and south with a vast and boundless force. The Qing army's rampant aura seemed to be boundless and endless waves, and it was about to swallow the small inner city of Vladivostok in one bite.
The situation in the inner city of Vladivostok is extremely dangerous.
Taking advantage of the time when the Qing army was rushing over, the Tang army made urgent defense preparations.
They stacked the collapsed gravel bricks urgently on the gap, while filling all the heavy objects in the inner city behind the gap.
Although everyone knows that such emergency defense may have very limited significance, in such an emergency situation, how can we consider too much if we can withstand a moment? After all, such a method is no longer possible.
Soon, Li Dingguo saw from a distance that Huang Taiji, who was originally stationed outside the city, and the golden chariot, were carried to the west wall by a group of Baiboyala soldiers.
The Qing emperor sat upright on the city wall, and with the height of the city wall, he watched the Qing army attack the inner city of Vladivostok from afar.
Li Dingguo quickly thought that Huang Taiji's move must have been to the emperor's presence, greatly inspiring the morale of the Qing army soldiers who were sieging the city in large numbers, so that these guys could work harder to attack the city under their own eyes.
After all, if the emperor personally supervises the formation, can there be more effective measures for monitoring the formation than this?
His approach quickly achieved good results.
The Qing army, who were attacking the inner city, were immediately inspired when they saw the Qing emperors sitting on the top of the city and supervising the battle with a very close look. Everyone became more and more courageous. They made howling like wild beasts, and they all accelerated their pace and rushed towards the gap in the inner city.
The commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Dorgon, with a proud look on his face, was very happy to see his army's aura so high. He shouted: "My sons! Let us quickly attack the city and kill all the damn Tang army! I tell you, but those who enter the city first can get the first contribution! Now even the emperor is supervising the battle on the city. How can you not move forward bravely and seize fame and wealth? I hope you will strive to win it!"
With the strong encouragement of the generals of the commander, the Qing army attacking the city was even more motivated and extremely brave. Many people were red with excitement, and their eyes were flashing like greedy wild wolves. They were like a group of crazy beasts, rolling up all the way and launching a stormy attack towards the gap in the inner city of Vladivostok.
When he saw the Qing army siege coming from all over the city, he was coming like a tide. Deputy General Zu Kuan gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "The Qing army has come to attack the city. All the crossbow soldiers are careful and prepare!"
The magic crossbows were firmly held in the hands of the Tang army crossbowmen, and the squeaking sounds of strings were heard one after another. After the temporary retaining wall was built, a large number of crossbowmen calmly responded and aimed at the targets they were about to shoot.
While waiting for the Qing army to reach the attack distance, Tan Sangou, the chief of the Tang army's crossbow whistle, swallowed saliva and trembled, and his legs were trembling slightly. Although his face tried hard to keep calm, his muscles were trembling constantly.
A voice, like a demonic sound, kept flashing in his head: "Tan Sangou, the Qing army is so powerful that our army's city defense has been broken, and there are few soldiers and generals. Can this inner city of Vladivostok be still defended?"
However, at this moment, another voice loudly refuted him in his mind: "Bastard! As a soldier, you are the duty to die on the battlefield. How can you be so greedy and afraid of death before fighting? You are so timid before fighting! As the leader of the crossbow soldiers, you cannot lead by example, but instead hesitate to fear the enemy. Isn't it a great shame? Even the entire Nanyang has fought all over, so how can you kneel against these beast-like Qing troops here? For the dignity and glory of the Tang army, even if you fight to death, what's the pity!"
Thinking of this, Tan Sangou cursed himself fiercely, then he held a crossbow arrow in his hand and aimed more and more attentively.
When the Qing army rushed to a distance of 120 steps from him, Zu Kuan could no longer hold back and shouted: "Let it go!"
In theory, the best attack distance for crossbow arrows is about 60 steps. Now when it is nearly twice the distance, Zu Kuan ordered the attack. The reason is that, seeing that the Qing army was very dense, which was very conducive to long-range shooting. Secondly, he was inexplicably frightened. He thought that if he could shoot in advance, he could kill and injure more enemies.
As soon as Zu Kuan finished speaking, the continuous crossbow arrows burst out and immediately rang around.
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish!"
With the continuous sound of bangbang, continuous crossbow arrows were fired from the magic machine crossbow. On this dim afternoon, the poisoned crossbow arrows were like a group of locusts released from the God of Death's hand. They buzzed and quickly formed a dense network of death. Immediately, more than 10,000 poisonous crossbow arrows rushed towards the Qing army, which seemed to be unprepared, and roared and shot away.
"Puff puff puff..."
With the faint sound of crossbow arrows shooting into the human body, screams that seemed to be different from human voices rose up continuously, making people feel palpitations.
If they were shot by Tang Jun and other crossbows that had been harshly poisoned, they would surely die. Even if they had been soaked in blood-threatening toxins, even if they only hit their hands, feet and other important parts, the poison would quickly spread throughout their bodies, causing them to die of blackness.
What both made Li Dingguo and Zu Kuan feel worried was that under this fierce attack, the number of casualties of the Qing army was limited, with only about five or six hundred people. The deaths were far away under the crossbow arrows that shot away.
This is because, first, because the distance is too far, the crossbow arrows are blown by the cold wind along the way, resulting in a greatly reduced attack power. Second, the Qing army that was surging in the turbulent Qing army seemed to have already expected that the Tang army guarding the city would come. The Qing army in the front row was covered with shields, and most of the crossbow arrows that were snatching the ground and shoot on the Qing army's shields, so they could not cause fatal damage to these Qing army rushing forward.
In order to win the inner city of Vladivostok as soon as possible, no one of the Qing soldiers who fell to the ground with crossbow arrows stopped to rescue them. The Qing army, who had already fallen into a state of madness, stomped their bodies and the Qing army that had not yet died, and then continued to rush towards the gap in the inner city.
Seeing that the Qing army suffered limited losses and seeing that they continued to attack wildly as if they had lost their minds, the deputy general Zu Kuan was also frightened. He gritted his teeth and cursed an extremely ugly swear word. Then he turned his head and shouted at the Tang army crossbowmen who were constantly loading new crossbow arrows: "Damn it, get ready quickly, don't stop, continue shooting!"
When the Qing army rushed to about eighty steps from the inner city wall, Zu Kuan shouted again: "Let me go!"
"Swoosh swish swish swish swish!"
Another round of crossbow arrows roared out, shooting towards the Qing army as they were getting closer and closer.
"Puff puff puff..."
Screams continued to rise again, and the Qing army soldiers who were coming frantically were shot by this round of crossbowmen, and at least seven or eight hundred people were killed.
Unexpectedly, the closer these attacking Qing troops were to the inner city, the more crazy they were. While using their shields to block the crossbow arrows shot by the Tang army, they still roared and rushed forward without stopping the attack.
Seeing that the Qing army's offensive momentum was so fierce and difficult to contain, Li Dingguo was extremely entangled and nervous.
what to do?
The Qing army's offensive momentum was so fierce that if he could not take timely measures, Li Dingguo could be sure that with such a large number of enemies and our few, the city defense was broken and there were no reinforcements outside, the inner city was captured by the Qing army and all the defenders were destroyed. It was probably only a matter of time.
Li Dingguo, who was extremely confused and confused, saw from afar that Huang Taiji's golden dragon flag star was inserted high above the city head on the Ximen city wall in the distance. It was even more vaguely seen that a fat man in a bright yellow dragon robe was sitting upright on a tiger-headed chair. On his head, a golden silk umbrella was fluttering in the wind.
Li Dingguo could imagine how proud Huang Taiji, who was sitting upright on the city wall to watch the battle situation, would be in his heart.
Yes, the Tang army is already poor, and his army is so powerful. The inner city of Vladivostok is almost like a snail pinned by three fingers. It is no problem to stop. Seeing such a situation almost one-sided state, how could he be unsatisfied?
Li Dingguo stared at Huang Taiji sitting upright on the city wall to the west for a long time, as if he could see in his heart that Huang Taiji's big pie face full of joy.
"Li Dingguo, you are ungrateful and insist on fighting against our army to the end. The situation is really a matter of self-take. Now, I will let you taste the iron fist of our army, what does it feel like!" Huang Taiji in his heart shouted at Li Dingguo with a smug look on his face.
Indescribable pain suddenly surged in Li Dingguo's heart.
Although he was never afraid of death, he still felt a pain in his heart as if he had to face this inescapable situation of death.
You know, these Tang army brothers who were still fighting bloodily followed themselves to fight the entire Southeast Asian country, from Taiwan to Australia, and had great achievements. However, is such a heroic force that fought south and north really going to completely die in this cold and cold place in the extreme north and in the ice and snow?
No, no!
Li Dingguo clenched his teeth tightly and made a sound. It can be said that there were ten thousand unwillingness in his heart.
But, now, is there any other way?
Li Dingguo stared at Huang Taiji on the city wall in the west for a long time, and at this moment, his heart suddenly felt like lightning, and a very bold idea came to his mind.
Capture the king first to capture the thief!
If the Tartar Chief Emperor Taiji could be killed or seriously injured, then the Qing army would be in chaos and collapse when the emperor was seriously injured.
This seemingly fantasy idea quickly turned into a concrete executable plan in Li Dingguo's mind.
The key to this plan is that Li Dingguo has a secret passage that can lead directly to the horse face of the city wall on the west side.
This secret passage was the key passage for the Tang army raid team to sneak out of the city last time and threw thunder with their hands to blow up 30 red cannons in the Qing army.
The most fundamental thing is that because all the personnel of the Tang army raid team have been sacrificed, the Qing army did not know its specific location and has not been destroyed. Therefore, this passage can be used again now.
In Li Dingguo's view, this passage can be regarded as a true channel of life. After saving himself once, he must give himself another chance to survive.
The plan that Li Dingguo had set in mind was to select several elite auxiliary soldiers, bring enough hands to throw lightning, and come to the west wall where the horse face was on the west wall, hollow out the inner layer of rammed earth, pile up the collective hands to throw lightning, and then detonate them uniformly, blow up a large section of the Ximen wall, so that Huang Taiji could either be killed on the spot or fall off the city wall.
As long as Huang Taiji was killed, Li Dingguo could be sure that the Qing army would be in chaos and would collapse without fighting. The Tang army was most likely to drive away the Qing army at a difficult moment before the fall of the inner city, and eventually the inner city was preserved.
This is a very difficult and necessary plan.
Li Dingguo no longer has any other choice.
He glanced at the Qing army that was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly from several auxiliary soldiers, "Transfer the order of this general, quickly select several elite auxiliary soldiers, sneak into the west city wall, throw lightning with his hand, blow up the Ximen city wall, and blow the Tartar Chief Emperor Taiji to death!"
