Chapter 770: The Slaves of the Great Ming Tribulation Stained the Flags with Blood (7)

The land of Zhili, which had been dry for many days, drought, a black cloud floated from the north, and the morning sun gradually shrouded in the darkness. The dark clouds pressed against the city, the wind was cold and cold, and the Jiannu army covered the land of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the flags were like sea demons dancing like evil ghosts coming out of the mountain. The war drums shook my ears, and the snow sand fluttered on the battlefield that was about to fight bloody, forming a layer of mist. The sky waved the snowflakes and cried for the many disasters of the Ming Dynasty. The messenger of Wu Zhenchao ordered the soldiers to come and go to the main.

The general and the military formation passed various commands. The scout cavalry inlaid blue flags cruised on the edge of the battlefield. Hundreds of artillery appeared on the north bank of the moat of Andingmen in the capital overnight. Jiannu pointed the black muzzle at the broken city wall of Andingmen in the capital. The Qing Dynasty attacking army was busy all night last night. The slaves of Aha and captured Ming people built a fort for the Qing Dynasty attack, and Tong Yangxing's commanded position wall was thickened.

Tong Yangxing learned the lesson of Li Yongfang's injury. He doubled the wall of the command platform, and built a 10-meter-wide and narrow artillery hiding in the bunker behind the command platform, to avoid enemy artillery fire. His method of repairing the command platform was learned from Zhang Ping'an, the cunning commander of the Po Slave Army. Tong Yangxing first said goodbye to the main general Manguertai, who was watching the battle in the rear, and led ten gray-armored guards to the front-line command platform. He ordered the trumpeter bells bells to blow a trombone to the back and signaled to his commander Manguertai Belle to prepare for an attack.

With the sound of three cannons, Tong Yangxing issued an order to attack. At the same time as the sound of the Qing cannons sounded, dozens of cannons on the walls of the capital were the first to roar. The Ming army was unwilling to lose to the enemy in terms of momentum. They used artillery to prove to the enemy that the Han people would not surrender. However, the reality was always so cruel. After a large area of ​​white smoke on the city wall, dozens of earth pillars were lifted up in the Jiannu artillery formation, and so many shells only had one shell concentrated on the guard wall of the Tartar artillery position. Similarly, the Qing artillery team then launched a counterattack, and only a dozen of hundreds of artillery shot the city wall.

In the battle yesterday, the red and barbarian artillery of the Qing Dynasty were all lost. Today, the main force of the Qing Dynasty artillery was general artillery with not very powerful power. Solid artillery shells hit the capital city walls, but failed to destroy the solid wall bricks on the city walls, leaving only small white spots on the city walls. Only a few live ammunitions crossed the city walls and smashed the houses in the city, causing the people in the room to run out of the house in panic. After the first round of artillery bombings, both sides needed to load shells for a long time to prepare for the next artillery bombing. Tong Yangxing used this gap to issue an order for infantry attacks. There was no movement in the artillery battle in the previous artillery battle, and they were ready for close combat.

As long as it is beneficial to the war, the Poulang Army is not afraid of spending money. Yesterday, the Poulang Army found that the official army's folang cannons were equipped with shotguns, and Zheng Tai selected hundreds of artillery masters from the Shenji Camp to send silver on the spot and let them cooperate with the Poulang Army's battle. As the saying goes, money can make the ghost push the mill. Zheng Tai rewarded the heavy reward of the Shenji Camp Folang gunners immediately said that if the cannons are fired, the silver money cannot be lost. Zheng Tai was not disgusted with this, and immediately said that the silver money would not be less, and the cannons would sound silver money! Zheng Tai was very good at not being able to distribute the white-rod soldiers' combat armor. Zheng Tai found Mou Cheng, the general of the Shenji Camp, and stuffed a large handful of gold tickets into his arms.

In front of Sun Chengzong, Mou Cheng ordered the officers and soldiers of Shenji Camp who were waiting for the opportunity under the city wall of Shenji Camp to take off their iron armor and handed them to the Baigang soldiers. He still complained to Sun Chengzong in a slight manner. He said that the Shenji Camp was on the front line this time and the armor was greatly lost. He hoped that the Minister of War Sun Chengzong would cancel the 20,000 mates of the war-damaged armor for the officers and soldiers of Shenji Camp. Sun Chengzong was disgusted by the greed of the general of Shenji Camp. The total number of officers and soldiers of your Shenji Camp is only 30,000 to 50,000. The total amount of silver for Zheng Tai gave you Mou Cheng is definitely more than tens of thousands of taels of silver. You are still trying to make up for the losses from the court. Sun Chengzong agreed to Mou Cheng in disgustingly, after all, he was still fighting. Sun Chengzong still needed the number of officers and soldiers of Shenji Camp to control the market.

Shiquan Xuanwei Office came to the capital to serve the king with Qin Liangyu. After Emperor Chongzhen reviewed the department, he felt that the department could be investigated. So he issued an edict to continue to transfer Shiquan Xuanwei Office to increase its troops. General Qin Liangyu wrote a letter to ask his brother Qin Minping to bring 3,000 reinforcements to the capital to serve the king. Shiquan Xuanwei Office was hard-working and hard-working, and in winter he was still wearing straw sandals he made. Earlier, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to change the winter clothes for Shiquan Xuanwei Office, and the officials of Ponuhou and Hou had many bad hands. Shiquan Xuanwei Office finally got the winter clothes, all of which were stored for many years, forcing the white-leaf soldiers to wear the clothes they brought.

Shifu is located in the southeast of Shunqing Prefecture (now Chongqing City). Although the winter is wet and cold, it is far less cold than the capital. When winter comes, the white-rod soldiers are still wearing their own straw sandals and rags wrapped around their feet to keep warm. Zheng Tai saw the dilemma of Baiji soldiers yesterday, and he took out the inventory of 6,000 leather boots for Qin Liangyu. Today, Shifu Xuanfu comforted the Baiji soldiers wearing the Ming Shenji Camp and the Ponu Army's iron armor, with eight-petal battle helmets and black helmets on their heads, and holding a white wax spear and carrying the Ponu Army's standard battle knife. Today, there were 6,000 white-rod soldiers entering the city to guard Andingmen, and they were also divided into two groups to make all preparations to fight against foreign enemies.

The Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp of the Qing Dynasty gathered on the four flying bridge passages in front of Andingmen from four directions, and from a distance it looked like an ant march. Before the enemy approached, Dong Heliang, the front-line general of the Po Nu Army, traveled between two positions at the gap in Andingmen. He whipped the soldiers who did not wear face armor and throat armor with a horse whip in his hand, and cursed in his mouth: "You guys are a scheming for trouble. The face armor and throat armor made by Marshal Zhang are specifically for defense against Jiannu bows and arrows. You didn't see Marshal Zhang being plotted against on the battlefield and escaped because of them? Although Marshal Zhang broke his appearance, the beauties still rushed to him! How many brothers did not wear these two things yesterday died of a disaster, and you guys didn't accept the lesson! Next time I will go back to Po Nu City to suggest to Marshal Zhang to make a crotch for the brothers, so that you can freeze a layer of skin in winter!"

The method of Po Nu Army to boost morale opened the eyes of the friendly troops on the city wall. The old gangsters of Po Nu Army really dared to say anything, and even high-ranking officials like Po Nu Hou dared to arrange them in public. Dong Heliang returned to the west position while laughing and scolding. There was the Bo Nu Army artillery formation here. The assistant commander Dong Heliang hung a horse whip with his little finger in his left hand, and took out a telescope with his right hand to look at the enemy approaching. After a while, Dong Heliang issued the first order today: "Brothers of the artillery team listen, let's fight according to the old rules! I shouted to fire the cannon, and you will block the north bank of the four moats, let's kill those miscellaneous!"

The gunners of the Pound Army had already aimed at the north bank of the moat of four flying bridge passages. They understood the tactics of Dong Heliang. He wanted to release a group of enemies to come and cut off their backs, causing the enemy's front line to not gather enough troops. Such tactics of the Pound Army gunners are familiar with this. This is also a compulsory course for gunner training. After playing the pound Army crossbow cannons for so many years, the gunners are quite familiar with the performance of the pound Army. As more and more Wuzhen Chao Ha camp soldiers pass through the flybridge passage, close combat is inevitable. After more than 3,000 Wuzhen Chao Ha camp soldiers rushed through the moat, Dong Heliang finally ordered: "Fire!"

Thirty crossbows shot out * in turn. Since there was no need for long-distance shooting, the crossbow gunners all replaced * with five kilograms of high-explosion bombs. Because the first round of the crossbows had the highest accuracy, the gunners cut off the four-inch leads of the crossbows before shooting, to ensure that * exploded above the enemy's head. The flybridge passage was only one meter wide, and the Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp warriors were inevitably congested at the bridge when crossing the bridge. This round of explosions was amazing. Hundreds of Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp warriors were compressed into meat paste by the huge explosion. The flybridge passage on the far right was also destroyed by the shock wave generated by the explosion. In the blink of an eye, there were ghosts and wolves howling, and many dead warriors were crushed into meat pie by the air waves.

The explosion-slanted east flybridge passage has caused certain obstacles to the attacking infantry. The infantry passing through the flybridge will of course choose to pass in a relatively safe place, which also causes the road to be inclined higher and higher. The Wuzhenchao Ha battalion soldiers who were attacking well knew that only by quickly passing through this death zone could their chances of survival be greater. So the Wuzhenchao Ha battalion soldiers who followed the attack still shouted and released their fears in their hearts and rushed towards the Andingmen city wall. At this time, the Pou Nu Army and the Ming army archers on the city wall began to shoot at the enemy. The Pou Nu Army continued to shoot a land of insurmountable death in front of the Andingmen rubble ramp.

Three thousand Wuzhen Chaoha Camp soldiers wearing gray cotton armor were killed and injured in just two incense sticks. The broken urns of Andingmen were piled up with corpses in a short time. The cold wind in winter accelerated the death of the wounded, and the falling snowflakes gradually accumulated on the dead enemy, and the red blood froze into a slippery ice surface. On the flying bridge passage on the east side, the soldiers of Wuzhen Chaoha Camp rushed to the front line without fear of death, but the inclination of the flying bridge under their feet was getting higher and higher. The river water splashed with human blood and artillery shells on the wooden bridge deck wet the bridge deck into a smooth mirror. As a soldier attacking Wuzhen Chaoha Camp slipped on the bridge deck, the infantrymen of Wuzhen Chaoha Camp following behind also tripped on the bridge deck.

The gunners of the Shenji Camp on the city wall also realized the enemy's dilemma. Although their artillery could not hit the enemy's flybridge passage, it did not prevent them from using the water columns stirred up by the cannon to cause trouble to the enemy. The number of high explosions of the Po Nu Army was limited, and the porous crossbows were used behind the Po Nu Army. When the Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp warriors passed the flybridge passage, they held their shields to their heads and rushed forward regardless of the rush. As a result, the Wu Zhenchao Ha Camp warriors on the east passage fell into the cold protection city due to the slippery road.

Tong Yangxing, who was commanding in the river in the rear, was affected by the low vision, but did not see such an emergency situation in front of him. He was still commanding the subsequent attacking troops to continue to pounce towards Andingmen. Soon, the flybridge on the east side of Andingmen was overpressed and completed the overturning, and half of the bridge flipped over and exposed to the river surface. The infantry in the attack all had a rule, that is, the officers and soldiers were overwhelmed by excessive tension when they marched, which also made more and more Wuzhen Chao Ha Camp soldiers fill the huge black hole under the overturning flybridge.
