Chapter 636: What's That?


Four miles outside the east city wall, Dorgon was watching the fierce attack and defense in the rear.

He was stunned by the rain of wood and rocks from the defenders.

He estimated that even if the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were attacking the city, it should be at this time.

Unable to withstand the casualties, he retreated.

Today is different from the past.

The Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were trained with great difficulty by the emperor.

If they were damaged too much, they would not be able to explain to Huang Taiji after they returned.

Alas, Huang Ama's statement about not attacking a fortified city is indeed true.

It is also a good thing that he drove the Nikan people to the city, otherwise the number of Han troops would not be enough.

Nowadays, the three princes of the Qing Dynasty are each responsible for attacking a city wall, Azige North City, Dorgon East City, and Duduo West City.

Of course, their respective minions followed them to attack the city.

"Sir, the Ming people in front suffered heavy casualties and said they would not attack the city.

They just stayed where they were."

A guerrilla ran over and reported to General Xu Erxian.

"Haha, I don't dare to move forward for fear of death.

Haha, the archers, archers, and gunmen will bombard me.

If they don't come forward and climb the city, I will kill them immediately.

Let's see who dares not to try their best."

The tall and strong Xu Er showed a fierce destiny.

Dorgon, the prince of Heshuorui, is behind him.

If he sees the offensive stalled and cuts off his head to explain to someone, he will not be able to save him by then.

Who would dare to mess with those animals.

A moment later, the sound of crossbows and firecrackers roared in front, and the people cried loudly.

They were driven to continue towards death.

If they stayed there, they would be killed immediately.

It depends on their luck if they move towards the city wall.

If you're lucky, you'll live a little longer.

"Old Fourteen, Old Fourteen."

In the noise, Dorgon seemed to hear Azig calling him.

Isn't this twelfth brother in Beicheng?

He looked back and saw that it was Azig coming on horseback.

In front of him and behind him were more than a hundred Goshiha guards galloping towards here, and they had already reached the hundred paces mark.

"Brother Twelve, why are you here?"

Dorgon smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"I have something to discuss with you."

Azig pointed at the city wall with his riding crop.

"These Nikan have too many rolling logs and rocks.

I'm afraid these tens of thousands of people can't use up their logs and rocks."

Dorgon nodded, he also discovered that this situation has been going on for a long time.

If the wood and stone are not exhausted and the Han Eight Banners are about to appear, it means that the Han Eight Banners will suffer heavy losses.

"What does Brother Twelve mean?"

Dorgon looked at Azig inquiringly.

"What I mean is to escort the 50,000 Nikan young men captured before to attack the city."

Azig said what he called his method.

Dorgon frowned, no wonder Azig wanted to come to discuss with him, this matter was a bit big.

Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but there is still a fatal flaw, that is, the scarcity of young people.

Less than half of the acres developed by the Ming Dynasty have not been reclaimed.

Without him, there are not enough young people.

Therefore, Fa Ming not only robbed rice and weakened Ming's strength, but also robbed Dingkou.

These 60,000 young men and women will be of great use if they go back.

Now it is really painful for him to fill these young men and women into the big hole ahead.

One bad move back will make the emperor furious.

Dorgon thought here, Azig could only wait.

On the surface, he was the leader of the expedition, but his rank was not as high as Dorgon.

He was just the king of Wuying County, and Dorgon, Duduo is Prince Heshuo, and Huang Taiji is wary of his half-brother who has repeatedly made military exploits.

Therefore, Azig never acted arbitrarily and always discussed with the other three people when encountering problems, just to keep a low profile and avoid suspicion.

Huang Taiji's methods of dealing with Amin, Mang Gurtai, Degelei and Daishan made him frightened.

When Huang Taiji's reputation was extremely high, he didn't want Huang Taiji to take advantage of him.

"According to what Brother Twelve said, it's not easy to find such young men again."

Dorgon smiled bitterly.

In wars, the young and strong are the easiest to escape, because the Ming people they encounter are often old and weak.

These young and strong are often leftovers from sieges and massacres.

"It just takes a little more time to make the Han army work harder.

I am saving their lives."

Azig laughed, "Okay, I'll go back first and let the slaves drive away these young men as soon as possible.

I'll bring some here for you, but there won't be any need for Duduo."

The two parted ways.

Half an hour later, the young men in the rear formation were driven towards the city.

They arrived at the right time.

At this time, the nearly 20,000 Ming people in front of them were all lost.

The threat is almost non-existent.

The defenders at the top of the city were transporting the casualties downwards and transporting wood and rocks up to the city.

At this time, more than 10,000 young men in the city who were about to go up to the city, out of 20,000, had already boarded the city to help defend, and more than half of them were killed or injured under the crossbows of the slaves.

Jiannu's armored soldiers took turns stepping forward to shoot arrows to assist, maintaining their ability to kill the young defenders at the top of the city.

Seeing so many people coming to climb the city, the defenders were distressed.

Now that most of the wood and stone under the city had been used up, they might not be able to hold on for much longer.

The first thing they rely on to defend the city is wood and stone.

If the wood and stone are exhausted, once the Jiannujia soldiers board the city, the young and strong people guarding the city will never fight at all, and they are likely to collapse immediately.

Wang Feng and Liu Derang immediately sent someone to declare an emergency to Han Chengxuan, who was responsible for supplying wood and stone.

Han Chengxuan was very anxious at this time.

The 20,000 green men left to him had to be demolished and transported to the city wall.

This was to supply three city walls.

Objects, it’s too laborious.

When Han Chengxuan received the emergency, his head was as big as a bucket.

There was really nothing he could do.

He sent people to organize younger women to transport wood and stone.

The men mainly demolished houses and carried them up the city wall, so that they could meet the needs, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed of soil and stone consumption.

The earth and stones stored above and below the city are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, more than two layers of dead and injured people have been laid under the city, and real corpses are everywhere.

No one on the two warring sides noticed that a group of more than a hundred armored soldiers under the red flag approached a place seven or eight miles east of Dongcheng.

E Tuhun looked at everything in front of him with complicated emotions.

A few miles away were the Zhengbai flag and the banner of Prince Dorgon of He Shuorui.

Tens of thousands of people were fighting desperately up and down the city.

The sound of crossbows, arrows, artillery, blunderbuss and the noise of tens of thousands of people formed a grand battle scene.

Opposite is the Qing army that exterminated the Aixinjueluo family, the mortal enemy of the Ye He royal family.

It was they who exterminated Ye He and other tribes that had existed for hundreds of years, leaving many people like Ye He and other Jurchens displaced.

Etuhun and other Ye He's remaining royal descendants became serfs herding cattle.

The hatred between the Ye He family and the Aixinjueluo family is deeper than the sea and higher than the main peak of Changbai Mountain.

E Tuhun controlled the incomparable hatred in his heart and slowly observed the situation on the battlefield.

He came to the conclusion that the situation in Jinan City was very bad.

Now the Jiannu army was waiting for the city to run out of logs and stones, and It's not that far away now.

After investigating the enemy's situation, Etuhun immediately led his troops back to report.

Now the military situation is like a fire.

As for the hundreds of horsemen and horses coming and going, no one cared.

On the battlefield with tens of thousands of people, they all spoke Jurchen words and wore the same armor.

Who cares about this?

Jurchens would never dream that any Jurchens would betray the Qing Dynasty. .

Under the coercion of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, 50,000 Ming people were driven into the battlefield.

Immediately, a large number of Ming people descended on the city.

The young and strong soldiers guarding the city were forced to put down a large number of rolling logs and rocks.

This prevented the Qing Zhuang attackers from attacking the city.

Climb, but the baggage disappears quickly.

As dusk approached, Dorgon suddenly discovered that the number of rolling logs and stones on the city began to decrease, and some young men actually boarded the city.

Although they were immediately killed by the defenders, it was very clear what this meant. , the defenders ran out of wood and stone.

"Tell Shang Kexi that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are attacking.

Tell him that he can't take Jinan City and come to see him."

Dorgon shouted to a Goshiha that he planned to capture Jinan City even if he fought night and night, and he would never give the defenders time to breathe.

Goshiha knelt down and got on his horse and headed west.

Shang Kexi bowed respectfully to this arrogant Goshiha and obeyed his orders.

As long as he was a Jurchen, no matter his official rank, he was still a master to the so-called prince, well, everything.

After accepting the order, Shang Kexi looked at the sparse wood and stones on the city.

He knew in his heart that the time had come.

Jinan City was exhausted and it was about to fall.

He immediately ordered his direct subordinates Xu Erxian and others to lead the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to attack Jinan City.

Since Prince Rui had said that Jinan City must be captured, otherwise he would have his head shaved and come to see him.

He also issued the same order to several of his subordinates, generals and guerrillas.

If he failed, These people were all buried with them.

Amidst the roaring sound, five thousand Han Eight Banners armored soldiers walked towards the city wall.

They bypassed the crossbowmen who were still firing and began to cross the moat.

Wang Feng, who was on the top of the city, watched the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners in full armor approaching the city wall.

They fiercely drove away the young men of Ming Dynasty with swords and guns.

Some people had already started to climb the ladder.

Wang Feng knew that the last moment had come, and he ordered that the last bit of property be taken out.

This was prepared for the establishment of slaves.

Now it is a pity that the Han Eight Banners are taking advantage of them.

More than ten large cabinets were pushed up, and the kerosene was sprayed on the Han Eight Banners armored soldiers who ascended the city, and then the torches were thrown down.

When the darkness fell, more than a dozen fire dragons were burning from the city to the city, and hundreds of firemen were howling and rolling as they fought for their lives, and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.

However, there were still too few fire dragons in the defensive front of four or five miles.

Most of the Han Eight Banners' armored soldiers began to ascend the city on ladders.

The Jiannu armored soldiers below the city had begun to shoot arrows crazily to kill the defenders and provide cover for them.

Although some wood and rocks still rolled down, it was much less than before, and it was already within the tolerance of the Han Eight Banners.

At this time, in addition to the West City, the East City and the North City encountered crises at the same time.

They ran out of wood and stone, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty began to ascend the city.

With a bang, the gate of the city gate tower was opened, and Liu Derang broke in.

"My lord, please push us into the city.

We have run out of wood and stone.

The slave soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty will soon board the city."

Liu Derang said with a cup of his hands.

Yan Jizu nodded with dull eyes.

He also got the news from the shouts of soldiers everywhere.

He stood up tremblingly, and with the support of his servants and guards, he stepped out of the gate.

At this time, soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty had already boarded the city to fight with the defenders.

Some of the young men picked up weapons to help the soldiers kill the slaves. , and some were so frightened that they ran down the city wall after seeing the bloody scene.

The scene was noisy and chaotic.

At this time, Liu Derang had no time to care about the governor.

He led dozens of guards to join the fighting.

Yan Jizu sighed.

At this time, he was not so trembling.

He planned to go back to the city and commit suicide with his family.

He still had the courage to do so.

In the Ming Dynasty, no important officials at the governor level were surrendered to slavery.

He did not want to do this.

Stinking for eternity.

At this time, there were two to three hundred Han Eight Banners armored soldiers on the east city wall.

Wang Feng led the escort and led the remaining hundreds of soldiers to fight with the Han Eight Banners armored soldiers.

At this time, the young men were in a mess, some assisting and some fleeing.

As more and more Han Eight Banners armored soldiers boarded the city, the number of defenders changed from a majority to a minority.

Fortunately, these defenders took out all the armor from the arsenal.

The protection was not bad, and they were all armored soldiers.

To be able to support it for so long.

Wang Feng was killed by a gun and a knife in a short period of time.

He was dragged down by the guards and was dressing his wounds.

He endured the severe pain and asked the guards to simply bandage his wounds.

He had to immediately join the fight again.

He He would rather die in battle than be captured and tortured.

When more than a thousand Han soldiers of the Eight Banners boarded the city, only two to three hundred defenders were left in danger.

Some people had already knelt down and surrendered, but they were killed by Han banners in an instant.

They did not need to be captured by the defenders, so the other soldiers They were still fighting for their lives, but it was about to change the battle flag at the top of the city in just a few seconds.

Dorgon looked at everything on the city with a ferocious smile.

He could invade Jinan by injuring more than a thousand Han Eight Banners troops.

Of course he had the capital to be satisfied.

The strong city of Jinan had already fallen into his pocket.

At this moment, one of the Han Banner soldiers on the city shouted in terror to the east.

His shout alerted other Han Eight Banner soldiers on the city.

They looked east, and immediately they shouted loudly toward the bottom of the city. , although they were far away, Dorgon couldn't hear what they were shouting, but their anxious look still made Dorgon extremely surprised.

What a terrible situation that made these armored soldiers like this.

He turned his head and looked eastward and was stunned.

He saw red firelight rising on the eastern horizon.

It looked so mysterious and abrupt in the dark night because these firelights were moving and getting brighter and brighter, like swimming stars.

The fire dragon surged towards Jinan City, causing the darkness blocking it to retreat.

What is this?

Dorgon stared at it with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open
