Jinniuling, the Eight Banners were unusually tenacious, Fang Guoan was covered with rockets, artillery bombardment, and the Qing army was burned to death Nearly half of the people still did not surrender.Li led the Qing soldiers, cut down trees, dug trenches, cast a circle of earthen walls on the top of the mountain, and used birds, bows and arrows to kill and suppress the Ming army that attacked the hillside, and repelled the Ming army's attacks several times.On the hillside, black smoke was everywhere, which was the ashes left behind by the burning trees.Around the Jinniu Ridge, because it was burned once, it made the Qing army on the top of the mountain have a wide field of vision, which is not conducive to the Ming army's upward attack.The Ming army climbed up from the foot of the mountain, and was attacked by stones, birds, bows and arrows, and the top of the mountain was so big that the Ming army's strength could not be used, and it could only attack again and again, and after being repulsed, it climbed again, and the losses were great.At this time, the frustrated Ming soldiers left hundreds of corpses and retreated from the mountains.General Fang Guoan angrily punched the tree pole, he promised King Lu yesterday that he would annihilate the remnants of the Qing army within one day, but he didn't want to fight from dawn to dusk, and he hadn't gnawed down the mountain.On the outskirts of the mountain, there were charred corpses everywhere, exuding a scorching stench, which was disgusting, but no one cared about the trapped Eight Banners soldiers.More than half of the more than 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers were burned to death, and a small half died in the defense.At this time, there were less than 1,000 soldiers left, and they took advantage of the gap between the attacks, some of them strengthened the earthen walls, some took off the armor of their dead comrades and draped them over themselves, and some walked in the middle of the pile of corpses, turning over the corpses, taking off the kettle, and throwing their heads up, but they were empty.Li Shutai, whose face was full of gunpowder smoke and his clothes and armor were torn, sat on a big stone at the top of the mountain, holding a war knife in one hand, and his eyes were a little distracted."
Ezhen, I'm done drinking!"
An eight-banner cow with his arm hanging walked over and said with chapped lips.Li Shutai's face was gloomy, he pulled out the knife, wiped it on his arm, and said coldly: "Hangzhou is here, at most three days."
Now that we have held on for a day, we only need to hold on for a few more days, and the prince of Yu will bring troops to help. ”As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Niu Lu, "Tell the warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty that we haven't lost yet, let everyone be patient and patient, the turnaround is just around the corner!"
”Li Shutai looked at the foot of the mountain, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 people besieging him, which showed that the main force of the Zhejiang army had come to besiege him.If he sticks to the Golden Bull Ridge and attracts the main force of the Zhejiang soldiers to attack, he may not be able to blossom with Duoduo and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.Li Shutai believed that with Duoduo's troops, it would not be difficult to cross the river to relieve the siege for him, and he only needed to hold on, and there would be a turnaround.Li Shutai snorted coldly, "Since Taizu started his army, in addition to losing thousands of people under several fortified cities outside the pass, the warriors of the Eight Banners have not been annihilated by the Ming army at one time, and there is no example of adding 5,000 green battalion soldiers.At the beginning, there were more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't hit the Eight Banners hard, not to mention the rabble in eastern Zhejiang. ”Although there are only 1,000 people left, Li Shutai still maintains his self-confidence.At this time, Duoduo had indeed sent troops and arrived at the foot of Fuyang City, and it was the elite of 10,000 Eight Banners.In the past, there were 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers and more than 100,000 Ming troops who did not dare to fight, but this time Duoduo's opponent was not the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the rabble in the south of the Yangtze River, so it was naturally easy to take it down.What's more, he brought more than 10,000 troops, and there were 20,000 Han army flags behind him, which did not follow.With 30,000 elite Eight Banner soldiers, sweeping away the rabble in eastern Zhejiang, it can be said that it is a knife to kill chickens.At this time, Duoduo was stationed under the banner of Daxu, observed Fuyang with a clairvoyant mirror, saw that there was a guard of soldiers and horses in the city, and then turned the lens of the clairspace to the south bank of the Fuchun River, and there were also soldiers and horses armed, and he couldn't help frowning.Crossing the river directly, without any equipment, second, it will be blocked by the Ming army on the south bank, and third, the Ming army in Fuyang City will inevitably interfere.Duoduo pondered for a moment, then put down the clairvoyant mirror and shouted loudly: "Turai, this king will give you an hour to take Fuyang City!"
”"Wow!"
A Manchurian general immediately clenched his fists, and then pulled his horse to transfer troops and prepare to attack the city.In Jinniuling, the 40,000-strong army actually had no way to take more than 1,000 Eight Banner soldiers guarding the top of the mountain, which surprised Zhao Ming very much.In the early morning of the next day, Fang Guoan organized another attack, but was driven down the mountain by the Eight Banners.Zhao Ming followed King Lu's side, watching the retreat of the Ming army, frowning slightly, he had to admit that in addition to the combat power and equipment of the Eight Banners, which far exceeded the Zhejiang soldiers, these Eight Banners soldiers were not afraid of death in hand-to-hand combat, and they also had fighting skills, which were not comparable to the Zhejiang soldiers.On the battlefield, two or three Zhejiang soldiers could not win a single Eight Banners, and the mountain was narrow, and the numerical advantage of Zhejiang soldiers could not be brought into play, so it gradually became a refueling battle.Seeing this scene, Zhao Ming was furious, Li Shutai, who was a dog, thought he was the Yamazaki brigade!
At this time, the retreating Zhejiang soldiers, after a short rest, prepared to attack again.Zhao Ming's injury is not healed, it can be seen that the Zhejiang soldiers are fighting like this, obviously it is not good, he must exert his strength."
Your Highness, General, wait a minute!"
Zhao Ming suddenly said loudly: "Not to mention that attacking the mountain like this consumes troops, and it is difficult to capture it for a while.If we delay and let Duoduo break through the river defense, even if we annihilate Li Shutai, we will not be able to stop Duoduo. ”Fang Guoan was already red-eyed, and said angrily: "Then what should I do, don't you fight?"
Ben Shuai must eat this Jiannu!
”Zhao Ming groaned slightly, "With so many brothers dead, how can you let Jiannu escape, naturally you have to fight!"
”Zhu Yihai raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Ming, reacted, and said in surprise, "What can Bo'an do?"
”Zhao Ming clenched his fists and saluted, "I also ask the general to prepare some gunpowder for a certain person, as well as jackets, iron nails, gravel, and ropes!"
”"Do you want these things?"
Fang Guoan frowned, but still waved his hand and ordered, "Prepare these things for General Zhao." ”Zhao Ming didn't know if he could do it, so he just smiled: "Wait a while, the general will know!"
”On the top of the mountain, Li Shutai, who once again repelled the Ming army, stood behind the trench, glad that he did not flee, but chose to stick to the high ground.If they choose to flee, the Ming army will definitely chase and kill all the way, and the Eight Banners are not familiar with the terrain, I am afraid that few people will be able to escape back to the north bank of the Fuchun River.Now, although the Eight Banners have suffered heavy losses and lost nearly eighty percent of their troops, they have the hope of fighting a turnaround.Seeing that the Ming army under the mountain attacked less than once, the morale was already a little low, and Li Shutai's confidence in holding on to Duoduo came increased by another point."
Oh really, the barbarian is up!"
A Qing soldier shouted loudly, and suddenly said, "It seems that something is wrong this time!"
”Li Shutai frowned when he heard the sound, walked to the edge of the trench, looked down, and saw that the Ming army did not charge directly this time, a large number of Ming troops held shields, cats bent behind, and only a few groups of stragglers, jumping between stones and artillery pits to touch the mountain.Suddenly, Li Shutai saw the first person, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes."
It's him!"
Li Shuitai's face instantly turned hideous, and he shouted urgently: "Quick, bow and arrow, shoot that guy!"
”Zhao Ming was outside the city of Nanjing and almost killed Li Shutai, who was deeply impressed by Zhao Ming's bravery and realized the threat.The soldiers of the Eight Banners saw that the main general pointed to the person who was running and jumping on the hillside, as agile as an ape, and no longer hesitated, the musketeer lit the arquebus, and the arquebus was a round of guns."
Bang bang bang!"
The top of the mountain was filled with white gunsmoke, blocking Li Shutai's sight, and when the mountain wind blew away the smoke, Li Shutai was busy looking at it, but the person was gone.At this time, after Zhao Ming leaned against a big stone, he scolded his mother in his heart, how could so many people just beat Lao Tzu.As he spoke, he had already taken out the fire breaker, lit a fuse, and flung it to the top of the mountain.He had great strength and threw the explosive bag made by Tufa directly into the sky."
What's that?"
The eight bannermen on the mountain raised their heads one after another.Li Shutai also looked up blankly, saw the object, drew a parabola, and fell towards the mountain."
Boom!"
A violent explosion suddenly exploded above Li Shutai's head, and the air wave generated by the explosion, as well as the iron pieces in the explosive bag, instantly exploded around, and the Qing army was suddenly swept away.LI SHUTAI SAT ON THE GROUND WITH A BLANK LOOK AND A FACE FULL OF HORROR~ (ASK FOR A BOOK LIST, PROMOTION, ASK FOR A MONTHLY PASS, RECOMMEND, SUBSCRIBE, THANK SHAJIA FOR THE REWARD) ()
