【0335 Assault in the Line of Fire】
Half an hour later, the crowd set out.
The combat unit consisted of 100 people, led by Hou San, accompanied by an officer observation group of more than 20 people who followed closely behind.
Each man carried a shield in his hand.
The shield is made of solid wood, wrapped in fireproof material, and the handle is nailed strongly.
The shield is light and strong, and is used to defend against the arrows and rockets of Jiannu.
The combatants also had four cloth bags on their bodies, each for bottle bombs, and a bottle bomb in their hands!
Although they were trained during this time, and these people themselves were selected and selected, and their physical fitness was outstanding, the marching speed was still not fast.
Mainly because of the instability of the bottle bomb.
If you don't take these bottle bombs, it won't be so slow.
When everyone walked, they were cautious, for fear that if the pace was too big, it would cause violent shaking and let the bottle bomb explode on its own.
After walking for a full ten hours, I reached a place where I could see the army of Jiannu.
Hou San asked everyone to stop and rest, drink water and eat dry food.
Hou San nibbled on dry food while using the binoculars given to him by Gongzi to check.
Less than a mile away, there are patches of Jiannu military camps.
At this time, the camp of Jiannu was quiet, and it was time to rest, only a group of patrolmen patrolled back and forth outside the camp and inside the camp from time to time.
Hou San looked at it for a while, and secretly thought that Jiannu would besiege Jinzhou City like an iron bucket, this time it was determined to win, and he must take Jinzhou City, this is ready to fight for a long time, right?
The camps of Jiannu are very thin, and only the Chinese army gathers a large number of people.
Hou San secretly thought that if he attacked from the west gate, it would be more convenient than the north gate, because the north gate was too close to the Chinese army tent of Jiannu.
He was still thinking about a real fight, and he wondered if the Ming army in the city could give a little help?
What I don't know is that Jinzhou City claims to have more than 10,000 defenders, but after more than 20 days of fighting, it was bombarded day and night by Jiannu's trebuchets, and the city wall was stormed, and there were only more than 2,000 defenders left in the city, trapped in the small city.
After eating the dry food, he rested until nighttime.
"According to the arrangement of the military exercise, they all stand in their own positions, each group listens to the command, and do not act rashly without a command! We are now the regular army of Weijiazhuang, not the gathering in the mountains before! If I die, the instructor will lead the army, and the battalion commander will command! If the battalion commander is dead, the deputy battalion commander and the company commander command! The president's order is to attack Jinzhou City and join the Ming army, do you understand? Hou San gathered everyone together for the last pre-war lecture.
"Yes, Captain." Everyone responded neatly and softly.
"Gather your will to defend the president! Fight for the liberation of all mankind! Hou San raised his right fist and whispered a slogan.
"Gather your will to defend the president! Fight for the liberation of all mankind! ”
The crowd whispered in agreement.
Hou San asked everyone to check their equipment one last time and put on their gas masks.
"Let's go!" Hou San waved his hand in the direction of the west gate of Jinzhou City, and then put on a gas mask himself.
All of them followed with their shields in their hands.
500 meters.
400 meters.
300 meters.
200 meters.
Every soldier of the Baojun Assault Reinforcement Platoon could clearly see the figure of the Jiannu patrol, and everyone marched more cautiously and more carefully.
Hou San held the shield tightly in one hand and the hilt of the command knife in the other, hunched over, staring at the movement in front of him.
At a distance of 150 meters, the patrol outside the camp finally noticed that something was wrong.
"Who?"
"What's that?"
The chattering Manchu language came.
"Leave it alone, speed up! Stay in good formation. Hou ordered in a loud voice. Because of the gas mask, the voice is a little muffled, but it can still be understood by everyone.
The troops quickened their pace, like a sharp knife thrust forward.
Several groups of Jiannu's patrols met, and a leading lieutenant gave the order to shoot arrows.
Whoosh whoosh.
Dozens of arrows flew in clusters.
At the same time, there was a sharp sound of the warning gong sounding 'Bang Bang
"Protect yourself, do what I command, and don't act rashly!" Hou San pulled out his command knife and crouched behind the shield to resist the cluster of arrows while giving an order.
Not rockets, which have low attack power at night.
When the assault reinforcement platoon rushed to a distance of 100 meters, Kennu's rocket flew.
On both sides of the gate of the camp are high wooden watchposts, and the Jiannu on the lookout posts light rockets and shoot them down.
Condescending, it can shoot far away.
Although there was no shield that could shoot the assault reinforcement platoon, it landed on the ground very close, which could already allow Jiannu to see the whole picture of the assault reinforcement platoon.
"It's Han Chinese, there are enemies!" The Jiannu patrols rode on iron horses, brandishing scimitars and screaming.
"Stop!"
Hou San still ordered: "Advance, follow my orders, the first ten groups, get ready to drop bombs!" Triangle unfolded! ”
This time, the combat army of 100 people was divided into 20 groups of five men each, and this was the attack pattern determined after more than a dozen exercises.
The officers of the observation group also wore gas masks and held shields, and followed the queue closely.
The entire formation has remained elongated.
With Hou San's order, a triangle unfolded at this moment.
"Still not stopping? Go up and kill! A cavalry lieutenant of Jiannu brandished a scimitar and said to more than twenty people.
The ghosts of the Jiannu cavalry screamed, so that the war horses could speed up!
The two sides are still separated by at least 50 metres.
Hou San knew how fast the iron horse would be once it picked up, and knew that Jiannu must not be allowed to get close, in case a horse rushed in, they would all be finished.
"The first group! Drop the bomb right ahead! Hou San raised the command knife and ordered in the direction where Jiannu came.
Whoosh whoosh!
Five bottle bombs were thrown at Jiannu.
Bang bang!
Violent explosions, huge fires, instantly tearing apart the dark night!
This time, not only was the Jiannu who was gathering in the gong in chaos, but even the enemy general Amin in the Jiannu tent in the distance was so shocked that he sat up all of a sudden, although he heard the faint sound of the gong just now, he didn't care, because the Ming army in the city harassed at night, not once or twice.
But this loud explosion frightened him.
The defenders of Jinzhou City, three miles away, were also alarmed, they didn't know what was going on, not only there was a huge explosion, but also the skyrocketing fire, looking at the fire outside the Jiannu camp, I don't know what happened? Is it possible, are there still reinforcements?
Because of the speed of the impact, the bottle bombs of more than 20 Jiannu iron horses that rushed towards the assault reinforcement platoon either exploded not far in front of them or exploded right next to them.
Suddenly, people turned on their backs, and the war horses neighed and fell to the ground, or they were too frightened, and ran backwards and sideways without their lives, where to restrain them.
At most, where have the Jiannu who have seen the power of the Black Fire Leaf ever seen this kind of posture?
It's a big vat, a vat full of black fire with a catapult, and the power that can be exerted by throwing, falling, and exploding with a catapult is definitely not as powerful as the one percent of the current explosion.
The explosive power of the five wine bottle bombs instantly resulted in more than a dozen Jiannu cavalry and war horses, as well as a few horses, and fled with Jiannu crazy, but after the war horses smelled the poisonous smoke, they didn't run a few steps before they fell to the ground, and no people and horses were supported.
At the same time, the Jiannu camps in the Jiannu camp, which was closest to the assault reinforcement platoon, poured out of the camp one after another to come, but against the wind, poisonous smoke drifted in, and one by one they immediately covered their throats, howling in pain and running in all directions.
The military discipline of Jiannu is very strict, and the reason why the Eight Banners are strong is because when there is a war, the banner owners, the commanders under the banner owners, the assistant leaders, and the staff leaders, everyone fights bravely to be the first, and they all rely on military merits to make a fortune and rely on military merits to be promoted.
A leader in charge of this camp was just about to suppress his subordinates to obey the order, not to run around and not to disperse, but he had not yet found his own war horse, and he also smelled a pungent and pungent smell, and immediately burst into tears, only to feel that the world was spinning, and he couldn't even stand firmly, where could he still speak.
Several of the pro-soldiers under Zuo Ling were also in a similar situation, they couldn't see anything clearly, they grabbed everywhere, and they only felt that all they heard in the chaos were crying and howling, and their minds were completely confused.
Although I know the power of the bottle bomb, but I only threw five bottles, and it was so powerful?
Hou San's eyes widened to judge the enemy's situation, and he originally planned to wait in place for a while, on the one hand, waiting for the smoke to disperse a little, and on the other hand, waiting for the enemy's iron cavalry to rush over, but no one rushed over for half a day.
"Go ahead and keep the triangle array." Hou San ordered.
Everyone wears gas masks, and although it is impossible for gas masks to completely shield themselves from toxic smoke, the amount of smell is not a big deal.
After the place where he was thrown, he was less than 50 meters away from Jiannu's camp.
Hou San saw that Jiannu did not rush over, nor did he flee, and the dense figures kept running.
Several Jiannu soldiers on the lookout post at the corner tower of the Jiannu camp were still not stopping their rockets.
"Two groups and three groups lean up and knock out the Jiannu sentry!" Hou Sansheng ordered.
The 10 assault reinforcement platoon soldiers of the second and third groups hurriedly broke away from the array and leaned forward, their protection task was not successful, they only needed to prevent the sentry from shooting rockets from a high place, and the Jiannu inside and outside the Jiannu camp were already in a mess and did not continue to shoot arrows.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
Less than 30 meters away from the Jiannu camp, a row of wine bottle bombs greeted the gate and wooden fence of Jiannu, the wood was already flammable, and the wine bottle bombs were added with incendiary agents, and the fire took advantage of the wind to instantly crackle and burn violently, and along with the soldiers and horses around the camp, they also burned.
The loud explosion, coupled with the firelight, and the burning men and horses running around, frightened the Jiannu who rushed to meet the two sides of the camp also stopped, waiting for further instructions from the Chinese army's big tent.
Hou San looked at the raging fire, and the Jiannu soldiers on the sentry post at the high gate of the Jiannu camp jumped down one after another, and there was no way to continue shooting arrows, so he was not in a hurry to rush forward, and ordered the troops to change to a phalanx and wait in place for a while.
When the gate of this slave camp is almost burned, move on! Completely burn down this camp, and then travel through the past to meet the guards of Jinzhou City, this is Hou San's plan, it is very simple.
Before that, Hou San was looking forward to Jiannu coming over to attack a wave and kill Jiannu more.
Before setting off, the soldiers of the assault reinforcement platoon were weak and worried, but when they really fought, they only felt so refreshing, the rampant Jiannu iron cavalry, they couldn't even touch their side, and they just threw out a few wine bottles and burned Jiannu into a mad dog, where is there anything cooler?
There is no one who does not hate Jiannu, even if some people have not directly suffered from Jiannu, but when a war breaks out, they are either drawn out, or their family's belongings are 'urgently recruited'.
Although there is oppression by the landlord class, Jiannu is always the source.
At this time, seeing that Jiannu had not yet started fighting, he died one after another, especially being burned alive by the fire, just like watching a large-scale barbecue game, he was happy to watch the play on the spot.
Hou San even regretted it a little, he knew that it was this scene, and he should have directly attacked the enemy's Chinese army tent, so that he could kill more people, but it was a pity that he brought 500 wine bottle bombs, if there were thousands of people and horses, and there were enough wine bottle bombs, what would be cool?
The commanders of this group of Jiannu troops are Amin, the second son of Nurhachi's third brother Shuerhaqi, the fourth son Tang Gu, the fifth son Mang Gurtai, and Wu Keshan of the Horqin Zhuoliktu tribe.
Wu Keshan is the nephew of Huang Taiji Zhezhe Dafujin.
In addition, there is also the Han Bao Chengxian, Bao Chengxian was a native of Yingxian County, Shanxi, and later took refuge in Jiannu and joined the Han Army Zhenghongqi.
Bao Chengxian was originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, a general during the Wanli period, and in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1622), he surrendered to Jin and was still a deputy general.
In history, he was the first Han prime minister in the early Qing Dynasty.
Following Bao Chengxian, there is a Han Sun Degong, who fought in the Chinese army as the governor of Guangning Wang Huazhen in the Ming Dynasty, and turned Zhen into a heart to rely on the merit, and then rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and joined the Han army flag.
It is easy to draw a clear line between the ruling forces on the one hand of Jiannu, looking at who their 'Khan' is, and then looking at the Khan's relatives and relatives, it will be clear. On the basis of relatives, and then with traitors!
The current Khan is an old thief of Nurhachi, and Nurhachi has many brothers, but he only has the third brother Shulhaqi, who died.
Aisin Jueluo Shulhaqi is the third son of Aisin Jueluo Takshi, and Nurhachi is the same brother.
The same mother is the main reason.
In the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), Shuerhaqi was born in Liaodong. His father, Tucker, was the commander. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Wang Gao, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou.
When Shulhazi was 5 years old, his biological mother unfortunately died, and the family affairs began to be presided over by his stepmother, Nara. The stepmother was mean and cold to the Shulhazy brothers.
Shuerhaqi, who was just five or six years old, followed his brother Nurhachi to the deep mountains and forests, collecting pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, and hunting wild fowl, and then sending these mountain goods to the horse market in Fushun to sell them to supplement the family.
However, their rush and toiling did not earn the slightest mercy from their stepmother. Helplessly, when he was 10 years old, Shuerhaqi left home with his brother and lived under his maternal grandfather Wang Gao.
In the second year of Wanli (1574), when Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, led the army to break through Wang Gao's Gule Village, Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi were both captured and used as young soldiers to fight with the army.
Every time they fought, the Ming army let the Jurchen captives take the lead and rush into the opponent's sword array. After a few battles, most of the Jurchen captives were killed, but only the Nurhachi brothers survived and developed a strong physique and exquisite martial arts.
In the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Shulhaqi's grandfather and father died in the chaos of the Ming Dynasty. Grief-stricken, Shulhaqi and his brother Nurhachi left the Ming army together and returned home.
After some deep thought, the two decided to avenge their dead relatives, relying on the thirteen pairs of armor left by their grandfather, they raised a team of more than 100 people, and began the 'great' cause of creating Houjin.
During his entrepreneurial years, Shulhazi became the right-hand man and main fighter of his brother Nurhachi.
In August of the 23rd year of Wanli (1595), Shulhaqi led the Jianzhou Jurchen tributary delegation to Beijing for the first time, and this experience opened his eyes.
He was dissatisfied with his subordinate position to his brother, and he hoped to one day become the supreme ruler of the Jianzhou Jurchens. At the same time, he developed a keen interest in advanced agrarian civilization and culture.
In July of the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Shulhaqi went to Beijing for the second time to pay tribute, and this experience fueled his ambitions. After arriving in Beijing, he was warmly and ceremoniously received by the Ming court, and was rewarded with rich gifts such as gold, silver, and satin. At the same time, the Ming court also granted him the high-ranking military position of command. The Ming Dynasty used this as a strategic countermeasure, trying its best to win over and buy Nurhachi's opponents and opponents, and stir up sow discord between the two in order to intensify the contradictions between them.
For this reason, Shulhaqi was indeed grateful for the favor of the Ming Dynasty, he was grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and his political attitude became more and more inclined to the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to his active close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi also strengthened his ties with various other Jurchen tribes through political marriages in order to expand his personal power and influence.
In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), Shulhaqi married the sister of Beyleb Zhantai of the Ula tribe, and the following year he married his daughter Eshitai to Buzhantai. Shulhazi also maintained a fairly close relationship with the DPRK, and the DPRK envoy went to Jianju to perform the same etiquette for Nurhachi and Shulhaqi to meet and give the same gifts to both of them. The two of them also slaughtered pigs and sheep separately, and each entertained the Korean envoys in their tents and gave gifts in return.
The Joseon king was also willing to maneuver between the two Jianju chiefs and impose the principle of double recognition on them, in the same way that the Ming dynasty did.
With the unification of the Jurchen tribes, Nurhachi had enough strength to confront the Ming Dynasty, and his hostile attitude towards the Ming Dynasty became increasingly obvious, and his subordinates often engaged in armed conflicts with the Ming army.
The Ming Dynasty was disturbed by the situation in Liaodong. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), the Ming court used Li Chengliang, the former general of Liaodong, who had been deposed, in the hope that he could reverse the bad situation at that time.
At the beginning of his tenure, Li Chengliang adopted the original policy of dividing and disintegrating the Jurchen ministries. He took advantage of the contradiction between Shulhazy and his brother, vigorously wooed him, and was very kind to him, especially high. Li Chengliang asked his son Li Rubai to marry Shuerhaqi's daughter as a concubine, which made the relationship between the two parties closer.
In the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605), Shuerhaqi's wife died of illness, and Li Chengliang and his son prepared a rich sacrifice to go to the funeral, which was very grand. In the face of the favor of the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi was even more grateful, and he was determined to rely on the Ming Dynasty as a backstage to establish his position as the supreme leader of the Jurchens.
Shulhachi's blatant assertion of personal authority gradually challenged Nurhachi's position, and the relationship between the two became increasingly strained, and the two often quarreled over disagreements at meetings attended by Zhubel, and Nurhachi began to try to eliminate him as a potential adversary.
In March of the 35th year of Wanli (1607), a small Jurchen tribe living in the city of Shuyou, unable to endure the slavery of the neighboring Ula tribe, wanted to attach themselves to Nurhachi.
Nurhachi sent Shulhaqi and his sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan, and the generals Fei Yingdong, Yanguli, Chang Shu, and Hu Erhan led 3,000 troops to Shuyou City to collect the department.
When Shulhaqi and the others were halfway through, he was full of suspicion and told his fellow generals that he saw a faint glow on the handsome banner and wanted to retreat. However, under the opposition of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, they could only give up.
After arriving at the city, the tribe's chieftain Tsemuthei's 500 families were ready to set off, and the team soon set out on the way back.
When Urabeleb Zhantai heard the news, he immediately led 10,000 cavalry to intercept the attack, and the armies of both sides put on a fighting position.
But at this time, Shulhazy retreated to the side with his five hundred men, and he did not want to destroy the friendly relations with his in-laws.
Only Chu Ying and Dai Shan led the army to fight bravely, Shulhaqi only watched from the side, and his subordinates Chang Shu and Naqib did not join the battle.
It was precisely because of Shulhaqi's passive retreat that in the end, although Chu Ying and Dai Shan defeated the Ula cavalry, they failed to deal a fatal blow.
After Shulhaqi's division returned to the court, Nurhachi prepared to execute his subordinates Changshu and Naqib on charges of desertion, in order to cut off his right-hand man and set an example for the monkey.
But Shulhaqi's reaction was very strong, saying that killing them was equivalent to killing me, and he vowed not to bow his head, and he had the position to fight to the death.
In the end, Nurhachi made concessions in order to avoid an open conflict. He fined Chang Shu only one hundred taels of gold, seized Nazib's men, and henceforth deprived Shulhazi of the right to command the army, pushing him out of the top military leadership.
In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), Shulhaqi's status plummeted, and he became a nominal figure, and he felt that he and Nurhachi could not coexist. So, he consulted with his eldest son, Altuna, and his third son, Zasaktu, and plotted to set up another door to fight against his brother.
So Shulhaqi took a few sons and a few subordinates to Heitumu, southeast of Tieling, where he cut down wood to build houses and open up new bases.
And Hei Tuomu is close to Tieling, an important military town of the Ming Dynasty, and can directly rely on the military protection of the Ming Dynasty, and is adjacent to the Ula tribe to the east, so he can get the assistance of allies at any time.
Shulhaqi began to become more and more estranged from Nurhachi, and moved closer to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Chengliang saw this great opportunity to divide the female truth, so he added fuel to the fire and deliberately provoked contradictions. He canonized Shuerhaqi as the head of the right guard of Jianzhou, which was the highest local military governor established by the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region.
Nurhachi first ordered Shulhaqi to give up the idea of establishing himself as king, and when persuasion failed, he resolutely took tough measures, and in March of the 37th year of Wanli (1609), Shulhaqi's two sons, Artuna and Zasaktu, were killed by Nurhachi, and the general Wuerkun was also executed.
Nurhachi was still angry, and still planned to put his second son Amin to death, but it was only under the extreme efforts of Huang Taiji and others that Amin escaped death and saved him from death, but half of his family property was confiscated.
In the face of his brother's aggressive posture, Shulhazy lost the courage to continue the struggle. He knew that his strength was far inferior to that of his brother, and the backer he was counting on, the Ming army stationed in Liaodong, was also in a precarious situation, and he was not Nurhachi's opponent at all.
In a desperate situation, Shulhazy returned to his brother's tent. This time, however, Nurhachi no longer spoke of brotherhood to him, and Shulhachi was imprisoned in a dark room, locked with iron locks, with only two holes to bring him food.
On August 19, 1611, Shulhaqi died in captivity at the age of forty-eight.
The Han people like to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and a strange point of the Manchurian people, and it is also an excellent point, that is, they like not to blame the past, that is, they dare not make much mistake by their parents, as if they do not want to be angry with future generations.
After Shulhaqi's death, Nurhachi did not take out his anger on Shulhaqi, but took Shulhaqi's sons with him as his own.
Later, in the history of the founding of the Manchurian country, he made great achievements and never lost to the genuine descendants of Nurhachi.
Tang Gu and Mang Gurtai, who followed Amin on this expedition, are Nurhachi's two sons, and Wu Keshan is in-law.
Nurhachi's eldest son, Chu Ying, died, and his son Yue Tuo was still young.
Therefore, the Dongjiang army in the Yalu River area was fought by the second eldest son Dai Shan, and the actual leader of the army was Nurhachi's son-in-law Yang Guli, and Yang Guli's two younger brothers, Lengri and Namuthai.
The Dongjiang Army was powerless to rescue the Jinzhou Peninsula because of this.
In film and television dramas, 100,000 troops are dispatched at every turn, which is a joke, but in fact, the population of Jiannu at this time is only 500,000, and the men who can mobilize all the men to fight are only 100,000 in total, and you have to add the Han army's 'Imperial Cooperative Army' and Mongolia's 'friendly army'.
At this time, Tang Gu, Mang Gurtai, Wu Keshan, Bao Chengxian, Sun Degong and others, as well as the commanders and leaders of each battalion, gathered in Amin's tent and waited for the commander's instructions.
"Figured it out? Who is here? Amin was already fully dressed, but in a panic, his hat was not properly worn, and the strip of cloth on his chest was crooked.
Everyone said they didn't know.
"They used firearms? Why is there such a big movement? Amin continued.
And they all shook their heads.
The soldiers in charge of checking couldn't say why, only that it was not only loud, but also could catch fire, emit thick smoke, poisonous smoke and poison, and die if you smell it!
"It doesn't matter who comes! It doesn't matter what the hell it's used for! We have been ordered by the Great Khan to take the city of Golden State this time! The whole army is out and kill me! Amin waved his hand and ordered the generals.
Anyway, he is the boss, and he only needs to sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he doesn't need to do it himself.
"Brother, our iron riders are scared when they smell the poisonous smoke, how can they rush?" Tang Gu asked.
"Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth towel dipped in water, and charge on foot! Let the rockets go all together! They are poisonous, are we not poisonous? We have an army of nearly 30,000 here, not to mention a mere 100,000 Han troops, and they will fight hard with us, and they will not return. Amin waved his fist to cheer everyone up: "Tens of thousands of arrow clusters, hundreds of thousands of arrow clusters, smashed the arrow clusters of the whole army on the heads of the enemy soldiers, and burned them to death!" Burned them all! Are you scared of a hundred? Or are you not the warriors of my Dajin Kingdom? ”
Jiannu's bows and arrows are all poisoned, and they are all soaked in the sap of a poisonous tree with no solution after they are made, and as long as they are shot by arrows, they will die.
Jiannu is vicious, and the Ming army is similar, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of cold weapons in this era, all armies are doing everything.
Although the generals said in their hearts, is it good that people are poisonous smoke? Where can our poisonous arrows compare with other people's poisonous smoke? But he could only agree to it.
By the time they returned to their respective camps to organize their men and prepare to charge on foot.
The fire has burned down the gate and the outer fence of the camp closest to the assault reinforcement platoon, and burned down, killing and wounding the soldiers of Jiannu, all the corpses are scorched, and some of the charred corpses are still burning embers, which is unbearable to see.
Hou San led the assault reinforcement platoon to advance while throwing wine bottle bombs, and while clearly burning the obstructions, he was about to break through the camp.
Hou San saw that no one came to the camp to attack, but he was afraid, he was not afraid that the enemy would keep attacking, the waves of attacks were not terrible, he was most afraid that the other party would organize manpower and fire ten thousand arrows.
This is also the reason why Hou San initially decided to completely destroy one of the enemy's camps and pass through the middle of the camp.
If it is through the gap between the two camps, the enemy of the two camps will easily organize a counterattack, and when the time comes, the two sides will be flanked, and ten thousand arrows will be fired at the same time, and they will die directly.
Now the fire in the camp is spreading in all directions, surrounded by a burning wooden fence, and if the enemy wants to get closer, he must first put out the fire to make room for them.
The flight limit of the arrow cluster is 50 meters, and few people can exceed this distance, and this camp covers an area of more than 200 meters.
So either send someone to rush in and kill, or use an arrow ballista to release arrows, and manual arrows can't hit so far.
"Everybody, hurry up! The group that threw all the bottle bombs just now, the second group, the third group, the fourth group, you quickly move the barricades, and the others pay attention to the vigilance! Hou San raised the command knife and ordered loudly.
Everyone agreed neatly.
Originally, the officers' observation group was just spectators, but now, seeing that the situation is urgent, they have also joined the ranks of the first, second, third, and fourth groups to remove the barricades.
The barricades were mainly some burning canes, wagons, tent embers.
The assault reinforcement platoon is not afraid of smoke, but it is afraid of fire, and must not pass through the fire, otherwise it will burn and explode the bottle bomb on its body first.
Hou San's head was covered by a gas mask, extremely hot and uncomfortable, his eyes were almost covered with sweat, and he held his breath from time to time, took off the mask to wipe his sweat, and then put it back on.
All the soldiers followed the officers and soldiers who cleared the obstacles, and they were nervous about martial law, for fear that a few people would suddenly rush out of the fire.
Each of them had a bottle bomb in their hands.
Jiannu is really not as brave as the legend says.
Originally, in this situation, although the rocket could not reach such a far, it was completely possible to send a small group of men and horses to rush in and fight.
Hou San secretly thought that these people seemed to be frightened by the poisonous smoke.
In fact, the poisonous smoke has almost dissipated at this moment.
The more than 2,000 defenders in Jinzhou City are all watching from the city at the moment, and they can't figure out where a reinforcement army came from the sky in the middle of the night.
"Do you know who this is?" Zhang interrogated Lin Maochun, the deputy general next to him.
Lin Maochun shook his head and said: "These people are dressed strangely, and the firearms in their hands are powerful and scary, they will never be the Ming army, nor will they be Mao Shuai's men." Otherwise, we will receive a message from the flying pigeon in advance. ”
Zhang Pan frowned, puzzled: "Where did the hell come from?" ”
Lin Maochun said: "General, let's send someone out to help them, right?" It seems that they are going to enter the city to meet us, no matter where they come from, they can kill Jiannu, and now they are friends. ”
Zhang Pan raised his hand and said, "Don't open the city gate in vain!" Even if they kill Jiannu, you and I know the power of Jiannu's iron cavalry, and you and I can easily send people out, but it will lead to a change in the destruction of the city, what should we do? ”
Lin Maochun knew that Zhang Pan was a cautious and steady person, so he didn't say anything anymore, but he just felt that according to the speed of the comer, Jiannu would soon organize a counterattack, and he watched it from afar, and he was anxious for the comer.
