Chapter 104 Huge pressure
"Boom boom boom..."
"Swoosh swish swish..."
The grenades face bows and arrows, which has an absolute advantage in weapons. The Ming army is condescending and has a good location. Although there is a bright moon, the night is hazy, which is not conducive to the aiming and shooting of bows and arrows, and the Ming army has also taken advantage of the time.
Therefore, although the Qing soldiers had the advantage in number of troops, they were completely at a disadvantage under such combat conditions.
Explosions came one after another, the Qing soldiers flew everywhere, and the broken limbs and arms were blown up everywhere.
The Qing soldiers had to shoot arrows on the roof from afar, and occasionally the Ming army was accidentally shot.
"Let's go down, lie down!" Gao Jiling, who was standing outside the range of the bow and arrow, shouted anxiously when he saw this.
When Ming Jun heard the shout, he shrank his head back and lay on the roof.
Grenades are different from bows and arrows, and they don’t have to be so accurate. Anyway, just throw them down and you can kill and injure large pieces. Therefore, as long as you hear Shangguan’s reminder outside the range, you just throw them away, and you don’t have to show your head to see them.
The first wave of attack was quickly repelled.
Zhang Guozhu observed and found that he could not go to the center of the street. There were blind spots on both sides of the walls. Most of the Ming army's grenades fell in the center of the street. As long as the Ming army was suppressed and the Ming army was exposed, they could quickly rush through the bases of the walls on both sides.
"The archer suppresses the roof, don't let the Ming army show its head. The others rushed forward along the walls on both sides!" Zhang Guozhu ordered loudly.
Sure enough, this move worked very well. The Qing soldiers fired their bows and arrows at the roofs on both sides. The Ming army did not dare to show their heads and could only throw grenades blindly down. The Qing soldiers charging along the wall suffered very little damage and rushed over quickly.
When Gaojiling saw the Qing soldiers rushing over, he was not angry but happy: "Let me!"
With the order, the soldiers who had already buried mines and were ready to take the ropes in their hands.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
With three loud noises, the more powerful landmines sent dozens of Qing soldiers rushing in front to the sky!
"Ah, my god, run..."
My comrades-in-law were fighting side by side just now, but they disappeared in an instant. How could the Qing soldiers who were not dead have seen this? They were so scared that they were all shattered by the scene in front of them, and they were incontinent in the feces and urine. They shouted, turned their heads and ran back.
At this moment, Gaojiling was waiting for. He wanted to use the defeated troops to drive the Qing soldiers out of the city!
"Charge!" Gao Jiling ordered loudly.
"Run!"
"Run!"
The personal soldiers received the order and rushed forward with swords and guns in their hands.
Gaojiling jumped out of the room, Chen Yang and Lu Chang followed closely, and led the soldiers to rush up.
Fear is contagious.
The defeated soldiers fled like a life-threatening attack, and their fear quickly spread, and no one dared to move forward again. The large group of people also changed directions with the defeated soldiers and fled to the west gate.
Zhang Guozhu killed two defeated soldiers in a row, but still couldn't stop the defeat, so he had to flee west with the brigade.
"Roll, drive the Tartars out of the city!" Gaojiling was overjoyed when he saw this and shouted loudly.
If the Qing soldiers were driven out of the city, it would be considered as a merit.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to escape from the west gate, three crisp sounds came from the city tower: "Bang!Bang!Bang!"
"No, there is an ambush in the city tower!" Gaojiling knew that it was not good when he heard the sound of the gong. Before he could give an order, he saw thousands of arrows on the city gate tower and the personal soldiers rushing to the front fell down a large area in an instant!
At the same time, a team of Qing soldiers rushed into the gate of the Ximen, and the leader was Wu Sangui's powerful general Bai Yan.
"Retreat! Retreat and fight street battles with the Tartars!"
Seeing that the Qing soldiers were ambushed, Gaojiling immediately issued a loud order.
The Ming army was ordered to retreat quickly, retreated back to the roof, and a grenade and landmines were used to stabilize the situation again.
"The Ming army is very powerful." Wu Sangui is the one who is in charge of the city tower.
Seeing that the Ming army was shot and killed by one or two hundred people, but was not at all panic. He retreated in an unremitting manner, he couldn't help but praise him.
"Father, should you stop attacking? It's not good for us when it gets dark." Wu Yingqi said.
"No, our main purpose is the Ming army's baggage. If the Ming army reacts until dawn and destroys grenades and mines, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Therefore, we must continue to attack. The attack on the east gate north gate cannot slow down the Ming army. The offensive in the south gate can slow down, so we can let the enemy flee south. The command Bai Yan to seize the roof first and not to rush like this." Wu Sangui said.
"Father, let the enemy flee south? We have such a good situation, we are just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar. How can we let them escape?" Wu Yingqi asked in confusion.
"Even if the enemy flees south, they can snatch the enemy's morale quickly. The most important thing is that even if they escape, Jingmen still dug a hole and waited for them? They can't escape." Wu Sangui explained.
"Yes, my son has been taught, so I will go and pass the order now." Wu Yingqi only understood what his father meant after hearing Wu Sangui's explanation. He thought to himself, it turns out that ginger is still so hot.
As soon as Wu Sangui finished passing the order, he saw another group of people fleeing back from the alley to the south and sent people to inquire. He realized that Yang Xiren was defeated by Wang Shizhong in the same way.
Wu Sangui quickly ordered that thousands of arrows be fired at once and shot out the pursuers among the kings.
When Yang Xiren learned that King Pingxi was on the city tower, he hurriedly came to see him.
"Prince, I am incompetent. Please punish me!" Yang Xiren knelt down to apologize when he saw Wu Sangui.
"Xiren, get up. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The Ming army only relies on the benefits of firearms, which is not human power. If you successfully use the fraudulent surrender strategy, you have made merits and no faults, why should you apologize?" With the light of the torch, Wu Sangui saw Yang Xiren's face, his helmet was crooked and his armor was slanted, and he was extremely embarrassed, so he quickly comforted him with a gentle voice.
"Thank you for your unjust sin." Yang Xiren was not only not blamed after losing the battle, but King Pingxi used to comfort him with tender words and moved his heart, and kowtowed and stood up.
"Xiren, you retreat first and rest. I will send someone else to seize the baggage camp."
"No, Prince, General Mo was eager to make achievements just now and attacked too quickly, so he caught the way of Wang Shizhong. General Mo was willing to seize the baggage camp again." Yang Xiren was not stupid. Seeing that Wu Sangui was already standing on the city tower, the city was broken only a matter of time. He was unwilling to let a duck that was about to be cooked and gave the great achievements to others in vain.
So, he asked for his appointment again.
"General Yang is very brave. I don't want your great achievements to be lost, but do you still have the power to fight again?"
"Prince, the Mo General has damaged 400 people, and his morale is still there. Moreover, no one is more familiar with the geography of the city than the Mo General. This time, the Mo General will compete with the Wang Shizhong for the commanding heights. If you don't believe it, you will not defeat him! The Mo General will definitely seize all the grenades and mines of the Ming army and present them to the prince!" Yang Xiren said.
"Okay, eating a little bite will bring wisdom and understanding the way of change is the talent of the general. Go ahead, I will wait for the good news on the city tower." Wu Sangui admired Yang Xiren's courage and flexibility very much and agreed to his request.
"Thank you, Prince!" Yang Xiren said thanking loudly, then walked down the city and left.
