Chapter 233: Qiantun Guard Battle (8)

Boom-boom-boom-half an hour later, the Manchu camp fired another volley, and the ice walls built by the people on the walls of Qiantun City all night disappeared, and many of the walls were peeled off.

Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu on the city wall both hid behind the wall, waiting for the third round of shelling with the defenders on the wall.

At this time, Yan Yingyuan suddenly missed the days when he followed Liu Hong to defend the city, if there were those strange firearms in the hands of the Hou Ye, even if there was only one, the situation should be much better!

At least the arrogant Tartars under the city will be shot to death, Yan Yingyuan thought maliciously!

Yan Yingyuan waited left and right behind the city wall, and did not wait for the third round of shelling.

Outside the city, he suddenly remembered the sound of shouting and killing, Yan Yingyuan lay on the battlement and looked at it, and suddenly felt that his liver and gallbladder were split.

Under the city wall, a group of cavalry dressed in Ming army armor was in contact with the Manchu Qing short soldiers, and the first to bear the brunt was Wang Yuanba, the deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, who saw him holding two war hammers in the Qing army's right wing firearms battalion headquarters left and right.

O kindness of the women of the Yellow Dudu! Yan Yingyuan was furious in his heart, he dared to send reinforcements at this pass, wouldn't he send a record to Jianyu?

But the next scene also opened Yan Yingyuan's eyes.

Wang Yuanba led the only remaining Liaodong cavalry in Shanhaiguan, and Huang Degong really didn't plan to send troops to support at first, although he knew that Yan and Chen were Hou Ye's right-hand men.

But in the face of the overall situation, Huang Degong's contribution is very clear, even Yan and Chen are indeed two cadres, but so what?

As early as the first time when the Shanhaiguan sentinel received the attack of the Manchu army, Huang Degong sent people to Qiantun City, asking Yan and Chen to abandon the Qiantun City and quickly lead the 6,000 soldiers defending the city into the customs.

But these two people had to move the surrounding people into the pass together, and said that the soldiers guarding the border pass were protecting the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if the thief army came, they would abandon the people and ignore it, not the border army.

Huang Degong was so angry when he got the news that he almost scolded his mother, these dead-eyed readers are really stupid!

Shanhaiguan had no extra troops at all, and it was even less capable of fighting with hundreds of thousands of Manchu Qing troops, so Huang Degong had to constantly send sentry cavalry to Qiantuncheng to check the situation.

On the other hand, it is not good news to send people to Beijing to report to the imperial court that Qiantuncheng has been lost.

However, the news fed back by the sentinel who came back from Qiantuncheng made Huang Degong lose his big teeth.

Whether it is the seamless cooperation of the Qiantun defenders or the defensive skills of the frozen city wall, Huang Degong has opened his eyes.

The point is that the Jiannu army has been besieging the city for a whole day, and it is reported that the defenders of Qiantuncheng have not suffered any fatal blows.

Qiantuncheng still stands steadily outside the pass, buying valuable time for Shanhaiguan and Huang Degong.

This made Huang Degong a little restless, and Wang Yuanba, the deputy commander-in-chief, also admired Huang Degong's name for a long time, and when he saw his top boss with a sad face, he suddenly had a plan.

So there was a scene under the Qiantun City.

Wang Yuanba was originally born as a cavalryman, he organized all the 5,000 cavalry in Shanhaiguan into five teams, and went around to the rear of the Manchu camp, and the task of these five teams of cavalry was very simple - harassment.

The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, anyway, everyone is riding horses, and there is a horse outside the pass, if you can't beat me, I will run, and I will give you a moment when I see the opportunity.

And Wang Yuanba's first wave of attacks gnawed the flesh, because he knew that the Ming Dynasty was not capable of fighting with them in the field, Dai Shan's camp was quite loosely stationed, and even the later firearms battalion was directly stationed at the edge of the camp.

Wang Yuanba's 1,000 men single-handedly entered the Jianyu firearms battalion, like a flock of sheep, and slashed dozens of traitor troops in a moment.

But Jianyu's reaction was not slow, after all, in broad daylight, it only took a while, and a general Jianyu with a hairy face rushed towards him angrily with a tartar.

Wang Yuanba didn't hesitate to turn around and run away, the thousands of cavalry under him were also old fritters, they ran away when they were cheap, and sold them when they got cheap, and vomited blood angrily when they chased after him.

After chasing for a while, Hauge had to retreat to the camp for fear of fraud, but before he could come back to rest, Wang Yuanba posted it again......

The five Liaodong cavalry were like five flies on an elephant, buzzing and flying around, and the artillery of Qiantuncheng was temporarily extinguished.

But Dai Shan is not a vegetarian, Wang Yuanba took people back and forth for a few waves, and Dai Shan sent a full 10,000 Mongolian Eight Banner cavalry to surround one of the Liaodong cavalry.

10,000 against 1,000, in just a quarter of an hour, a thousand lives died in the wind.

Wang Yuanba gathered the rest and ended the harassment, since it is a strange soldier, of course he can't always use the same trick, this is the reason why he is invincible.

Hou Ye, this is the only way to do this, Wang Yuanba looked back at Qiantuncheng with a look of resentment.

After tossing for a long time, the mounts under him were already foaming at the mouth.

He had to go back.

In the afternoon, the repaired Jianyu army began to bombard the former Tuncheng again.

I don't know if the quality of the Qiantun city wall is too good, or the quality of the gunpowder in Jianyu is really not good, and the bombardment lasted all afternoon.

The two tiger generals of the Great Qing Kingdom, Azig and Haoge's uncle and nephew, waited with their respective Eight Banners soldiers behind the Francophone array, and waited for the fire to blast through the city wall.

But the skin of the wall of Qiantun City fell off layer after layer, and it didn't fall down until it was dark.

The battalion officer of the firearms battalion was Bao Chengxian, who was born in the Ming Dynasty, and if you are familiar with history, you should know that Yuan Dudu was killed by this guy using a counter-plot.

But in the face of the anger of the two princes of the Great Qing Kingdom, Bao Chengxian didn't dare to let go of one.

Could it be that you can tell the two princes that the quality of your firecrackers is too bad? Can't mix gunpowder? Soldiers who reload ammunition are also not skilled enough? The power is not good!

He bet that if he really said it, he would probably be able to go back to see his grandfather that day.

Fortunately, Azig and Hauge's temper came and went quickly, and they scolded and scolded for a while, seeing that the firearms battalion officer just didn't dare to say much, and he went back to the camp to drink very bored.

Qiantuncheng survived another night, but everyone, including the people in the city, knew that this might be their last night.

The cannon rumbled all afternoon, and the people in the city were numb, and the breath of despair spread among the people, only the unknown children were still crying in fright by the sound of the cannons.

But even so, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu did not give up their efforts, and the two ran back and forth around the city wall, soliciting people to urgently repair the seriously damaged city wall.

They proved with their actions how tenacious the fighting spirit of the Ming border army is!

On the busy city wall, several soldiers sneaky cats laid down a rope by the wall, and one of the soldiers quietly descended the rope into the city.

In a moment, it disappeared into the darkness......
