Chapter 725: Bad News
The cold ice rain slapped indiscriminately on the face...... Chang Yu was near the Andingmen Arrow Tower, staring at the Qing army surging like locusts under the city, sneering continuously, and the guards around him held shields to protect him tightly, for fear of being hit by stray arrows and stones.
The Ming army who held the city resisted to the death, the fireballs of arrows and stones on their heads roared over, the screams were endless, and the comrades-in-arms around them came and went down one after another, and the rain and blood were mixed in one place, and the city was bright red everywhere.
At this time, they did not have time to grieve for their lost comrades, and they even forgot to be afraid in the face of the Tartars swarming below, because he knew in his heart that he would be killed by himself when he retreated, and he could not stop the chickens and dogs in the Tartar City.
Fight! Only by fighting can we live!
These Beijing soldiers who were called Caigua by the fourth battalion of Dongchang, although their combat power is not worth mentioning, but their bodies are flowing with the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also upright Ming men.
Fight for the enemy!
The rain became heavier, and the artillery was no longer usable, but it did not affect their morale, but as the battle became more and more intense, the fire and blood were killed, and thousands of arrows were fired, and the rolling stones and trees kept being thrown down the city, and the corpses of the Tartar soldiers at the city gate were almost piled up into a hill, so that the chariots could not approach the city gate for a while.
The Qing soldiers under the city were also ruthless, the city gate was blocked by the corpse and held a shield for the people to clean up, and the soldiers who climbed from the city ladder were brave and brave regardless of life and death, and at the most critical time, they were able to jump on the head of the city and meet the Ming army in a short battle.
History will not repeat itself, Lao Tzu does not allow Li Zicheng to break the imperial capital, and neither can you Dolgon, Chang Yu sneered in the city, raised his head and shot an arrow through the Qing army under the city.
"Governor, there are Tartars going up to the city near Desheng Gate" Someone next to him shouted, Chang Yu looked sideways to the west, the rain was a little heavier, it was too far to see, and it was vaguely visible that it was very tragic over there.
"Tiezhu took your subordinates to help Wang Jiayan defend the city, and he couldn't defend himself and jumped down!" Chang Yu shouted loudly, Li Tiezhu, one of the three commanders of the palace word camp, led a hundred people to rush there!
Andingmen has him personally in charge, are in danger, although Deshengmen is not the first main point of attack, but it is the main attack surface since the pressure is not small, there are a small number of enemies in the city is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the coach can not hold the field to make the army confused, and it will be finished in a hurry.
Chang Yu has experience in this regard, when he and Zhou Yuji guarded Taiyuan, the thief army landed in the city several times and launched bloody battles with officers and soldiers, as long as they were stable and not chaotic, they slashed over, and there was a high chance that they could kill the other party, after all, they were standing on the advantage of the terrain.
"The factory governor won't really cut Lord Wang" Li Muxian glanced at Chang Yu sideways, this little eunuch was so murderous at this time that he didn't dare to look at it directly.
Chang Yu snorted: "It's all cut, who will contribute to Daming, there are just a few loyal ones right now, and the governor can't wait to hold them in the palm of his hand."
Dolgon, who was watching the battle in the heavy rain outside the city, gradually disappeared with arrogance on his face, and his brows began to wrinkle, in the face of such a fierce attack under his command, the Ming army in the city unexpectedly resisted regardless of the cost, which surprised him and even shocked him.
When he entered the customs, he already had reliable information, the troops in the Gyeonggi area were empty, in addition to the unusable Beijing camp in the capital, there were only some pro-guards like decorations, I thought that they only defended the city with the high walls of the city, if they were ruthless, they would definitely scare those Ming troops, who knew that there was a different scene in front of them, these Ming troops were not afraid of life and death to resist, it was really rare in the past years...... No, I saw it outside the gate a month ago, but it was a border army, when did the introspective vegetables and melons also have this blood.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang" in the rain curtain a fast horse rushed to the front: "Ten kings over there, ......"
Dolgon's face became solemn when he saw it, and he suddenly raised his hand: "Order, suspend the siege, rest and wait for the order."
The offensive that was still overwhelming the city like a torrent just now, in the blink of an eye, as the Qing army withdrew, leaving corpses all over the ground, under the heavy rain, the ground was bright red like a river of blood, the Ming army in the city looked at the retreating Qing army, his chest rose and fell violently, panting, and the rain was left from his face to cover his vision and even had no strength to raise his head to wipe it.
A fight, suddenly like a dream, only the corpses all over the ground told the bloody cruelty just now, and soon many people were crying and even leaning over and vomiting in the city.
Chang Yu looked at the rain curtain in a daze: "The world has been in drought for a long time, such a heavy rain is rare in previous years."
Li Muxian snorted: "I haven't seen this heavy rain for several years, but it helps us."
Chang Yu sneered: "Do you think that the Tartars withdrew their troops because of this rain?" Didn't you just scold that the rain was coming and it was time for our cannon to go out? β
Li Muxian raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect it before, and I didn't expect it to rain so much, although this heavy rain is not good for artillery, but it also has a great impact on the Tartar siege, and it is slippery and difficult to see, so I have to retreat."
Saying that, he glanced at Chang Yu, saw that he sneered and was silent, and said: "Maybe because the Tartars have been attacking the city for too long, they are tired and tired after a blow, and they are waiting to rest and recuperate in the rain?" β
"Maybe" Chang Yu looked at the wind and rain outside the arrow tower: "This fight is not short, the Tartars are tired, we also have to rest, Chunxiang sent someone to order to change the guard!" β
There are 100,000 horses in the Beijing camp plus personal guards, in addition to garrisoning the gates of the city, there are also reserve men and horses under the city, among which the north city is the most, at this time the Tartars withdrew their troops, and Chang Yu ordered to change the defense.
The soldiers under the city carried knives, guns and sticks to the city in the rain, looking at the comrades who replaced the city covered in blood, their eyes were extremely complicated, many of them had been soldiers for many years, not to mention that they had never fought a war, and they had never even seen blood, and they were inevitably afraid when they saw this scene.
"The dog Tartar is not Erer, the corpses under the city are almost piled up, and Lao Tzu didn't let them go to the city!" I don't know who yelled at that, just this simple sentence, those recruits who went to the city to replace them, suddenly felt that their chests were full of pride: "My Ming men are good men" Someone in the crowd yelled, and all four shouted: "Ming men are good men!" β
Are they really good men? Chang Yu sneered as he patrolled the city, and the soldiers who had just left the city were placed in the nearest city gate or near the empty houses of the city wall, and their own logistics personnel were responsible for bandaging their wounds and sending some food and drink.
It's just that some soldiers suddenly burst into tears while eating, not knowing whether they were sad for their dead comrades or something else.
"Look at your bear-like appearance, the Tartars can beat you into pigs' heads under the city, if you do it face to face, do you just kneel down and surrender and call grandpa, just like this, you still have the face to cry, what a shame!" Chang Yu stood in the rain and roared, and the crying soldiers looked stunned, it was obvious that their crying was not because of this.
"Your Excellency, you ...... Where did we give up our lives, countless brothers lost their lives because of this, but why did they insult us"! Someone couldn't help it, stood up and protested, and the fans around Chang Yu shouted boldly and wanted to take people.
But he was reprimanded by Chang Yu: "Stop, when will Dongchang become a hall of words, we are only allowed to scold people and not be allowed to defend others!" Then he glanced at the man, who was a low-ranking military attachΓ©, and asked, "What's your name?" β
"The lowly position is the general of the third team of the left post of the fifth military camp, and the governor will kill and kill, but the lowly position wants to defend our brothers today, our brothers are not afraid of death, and they will not kneel in front of the tartars and call grandpa, we will only fight with them, even if we can't beat them! In a word, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! β
The phrase "a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated" was like a plague, and the nearby soldiers all stood up with a roar and roared in unison.
Chang Yu sneered: "You are so kind, have you ever thought that after saying this sentence in front of the governor, you can't do it!" β
"A soldier can be killed, but he can't be humiliated, that is, he will admit his humble position, but he must also defend his brothers before he dies," but Hu Badao gritted his teeth! Of course, he knew the reputation of Dongchang, and he was ruthless and cruel, and the fate of the great eunuch who confronted Dongchang at this time can naturally be imagined.
"The factory governor wants to kill us together", someone shouted, and the rest responded.
Chang Yu sneered, good guy, huddle! said with a finger of nonsense: "You have done it today, there are four battalions under the command of this governor, and you are willing to join the gang!" β
Yes? Hu Badao was stunned! Flutes in the local.
"Cowardice" Chang Yu scolded and turned to leave. After walking more than ten steps, there was a shout from behind, Hu Badao hurriedly ran to him, and knelt in the water with a puff: "I am willing to kill the enemy and defend the country with the Lord Overseer!" β
"Hu Ling, this is your own family, do you want it?" Chang Yu asked sideways, and Hu Ling glanced at Hu Badao: "It's a man, but the palace battalion is all internal officials, which is not suitable." Chang Yu sighed: "You go to Dongcheng to find Wu Zhong, the commander of the Black Wolf Battalion."
Hu Badao led the order and kowtowed, Li Muxian was secretly convinced in his heart, high, really high, to stimulate the morale of the generals and buy people's hearts, this son is young and scheming, but it is terrifying.
"Lord Factory Supervisor" Chang Yu was about to go elsewhere to boost morale and eat something by the way, from the early morning battle to this time, he was already hungry and grunting, but he heard the voice behind him, and looked back to see Wang Jiayan coming in the rain, his face was full of blood and blood sliding down with the rain, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Lord Wang is injured?" β
"It's okay to have a small injury" Wang Jiayan hurriedly came to the front: "The Tartars suddenly withdrew their troops, did they retreat in the face of difficulties or rest and prepare to go?" β
Chang Yu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and looked towards the south, the sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain poured down: "It depends on the situation in the south, whether the Tartars continue to attack the city or not has nothing to do with me."
Everyone looked puzzled.
Chang Yu snorted: "You don't think that a heavy rain will deter the fierce and inevitable Dolgon, right, the sword and sword are not afraid, is a little rain make him afraid?" β
Everyone was shocked at this time, but Li Muxian's expression was indifferent.
"Please also ask the factory supervisor to speak clearly," Wang Jiayan asked.
Chang Yu sighed lightly: "The Tartars in the south of the city did not attack the city, but they divided their troops to the south, why did Lord Wang think?" β
Wang Jiayan was silent for a while, and suddenly looked happy: "It was the factory governor who ordered the people outside the city to do it, okay, a good combination of inside and outside, and a good one to take advantage of the situation to enter the ......."
"What a p!" Chang Yu roared: "We could have used the defense of the city to consume the Tartars' strength and combat readiness to the greatest extent, but we didn't know that the outcropping young man had to work hard with others in one more move, and only increased casualties...... How could Ben have spared him? β
Wang Jiayan and others were dumbfounded! In their opinion, at this time, the combination of inside and outside is the best tactic, and in Chang Yu's opinion, it is completely unnecessary and even harmful, first of all, he is confident that with the high walls of the imperial capital, as long as he grits his teeth, he will definitely be able to defend to the death, and try his best to consume the strength of the Qing army, and then at a deeper level, he wants to let the soldiers of the Beijing camp see blood, this is the best opportunity to hone.
Secondly, he knows the strength of the Ming army in the south, more than a month of hard fighting, the fatigue and embarrassment of the soldiers, and the strong strength of the cavalry of the Qing army, if the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming army in the south are grouped, the Qing army easily does not dare to tease, after all, Dolgon's entry into the customs this time is mainly robbery, and he will not fight if he can not fight a tough battle, but if the Ming army does not know how to give away people's heads, he does not mind laughing.
At this time, Chang Yu was only worried about not being a young man who was eager to make meritorious contributions, and went to die alone.
He didn't know if there was really an outcrop, and he really came to "help" with more than 10,000 cavalry.
However, this is not the worst, just when Chang Yu and Wang Jiayan were chatting and walking towards the city gate, suddenly they rode quickly in the distance and shouted: "Lord Factory Governor, the Tartars have entered from the Guangqu Gate!" β
