Chapter 768: Fierce Resistance
When Dolgon first saw the Ming army outside the West City Gate, he was not very worried, but when he saw that the Ming army had actually laid a horse stake outside and sprinkled thistle, his face began to look ugly.
"If these Ming troops are really successful, they won't give us a way to live?"
Before Dorgon could speak, Dorgon cursed.
Tribulus terrestris is a natural nemesis of cavalry, this thing has three sides, no matter how you throw it, it will have one side up, sharp and long spikes can easily stab the hooves of war horses, cavalry encounter this kind of thing There are only two ways, either a detour or a road with human lives regardless of casualties.
And according to their observations, the Ming army's iron thistles in front of the city gate are simply dense and can't see the end at a glance, if you really want to break through, you don't know how many children's lives will be lost, which is also intolerable to them, not to mention that there are dozens of artillery pieces and rows of firecrackers in the distance, the Ming army put on such a posture, and it is clear that it is to tell them, you just stay in the city obediently, don't try to escape.
Seeing this posture in front of him, even Duoduo, who was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, couldn't help but panic, turned his head and asked, "Brother Fourteen, Minggou has blocked the outside, what are we going to do?" ”
Dolgon's face changed a few times, and finally said helplessly: "What else can I do, we are in the city, the Ming army is outside the city, as long as they block the city gate, we can't use our great strength, they are forcing us to fight them in the city." ”
"These dogs are too arrogant." Duoduo said angrily: "No matter what, our Qing Dynasty also has nearly seventy or eighty thousand troops in the city, they are sure to be able to eat us, and they are not afraid of breaking their teeth." ”
Azig on the side said faintly: "I don't know if they will break their teeth, I know that if we can't destroy all the Ming troops in the city this time, our Qing Dynasty will be over!" ”
After saying that, the three of them were all silent, and after a while, Duoduo said angrily: "Since this is the case, then let's fight with him." Twelfth brother, fourteenth brother, I will first gallop to the second Belle at the north gate with the warriors with white flags, and you are waiting for my good news here. ”
After saying this, Dordor did not wait for Azig and Dorgon to speak, and shouted to a group of Goshha to get off the wall, and soon in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, Dordor galloped towards the north gate with more than 5,000 cavalry with white flags.
At this time, the first battalion of Geng Bingyi and the 4,000 men and horses of Zhao led the headquarters of the sect were responsible for attacking the north gate, a total of 7,000 people were lining up along the streets in a formation and slowly advancing towards the city, although there were constantly Qing troops launching counterattacks against them along the way, although the Qing army's counterattack was very fierce, but in the city, the Qing army's strength advantage did not come into play, but fell in a pool of blood in the sound of Jiangning army's firearms.
In this street battle, the fiercest battle was undoubtedly the middle road where Yang Feng was located, and it was the yellow flag that was stationed here. As the main attacker, the third battalion led by Chu Maoguang of the Jiangning Army and the 5,000 infantry led by Yuan Chonghuan, which belonged to the Liaodong Army, were advancing cautiously along the streets at this moment.
As a direct subordinate to the Huang Taiji troops, the combat effectiveness of the yellow flag is naturally undoubted, countless vest soldiers and infantry soldiers wearing yellow and red armor launched a fierce counterattack towards the Ming army from all directions, although the musketeers kept firing, but still could not stop their pace, even if the Jiangning army relied on the power of firearms to fight carefully, otherwise once surrounded by the Qing army into a bitter battle, the loss would be great.
"Whoosh......"
With the tremor of the bowstring, an arrow shot out, and a black shadow swept by, like lightning.
A Liaodong soldier who was carefully searching the streets with a spear in his hand was shot by an arrow before he could react, and if he was hit by a javelin, his whole body trembled, and a stream of blood splashed out of his chest. Long arrows pierced through his iron-encrusted cotton armor, spindle-shaped arrows peeked out from behind him, and the tips of the arrowheads, which were still stained with blood, shimmered with a cold iron light.
The soldier fell to the ground with a bang, only to feel that all the strength of his body had left his body, and then his body became colder and colder, and soon the whole person was no longer breathing.
The face of a general manager not far away changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, it's a heavy arrow of Tartar, everyone be careful, hurry up and raise your shield!" ”
"Whoosh ......"
As soon as Mr. Bai's words fell, a few more arrows were fired, only to hear a scream, and another soldier was shot by an arrow.
The tremendous force of the impact sent the soldier flying upside down, and he fell to the ground heavily, and a long arrow peeked through his back, revealing an unusually thick arrow, like a small chisel, thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and with the thick birch shaft, it was heart-palpitating at the sight.
Seeing that someone was hit by an arrow, Mr. Bai on the side was stunned, and after fighting with the Tartar for so long, he knew very well that in addition to the Tartar soaking all kinds of feces on the arrows used, the arrow shaft was also unusually thick and slender, and after such arrows hit people, the human body would often lose blood more quickly, and it would be more difficult to treat, and the end was vicious and abnormal.
As soon as Mr. Bai turned his head, he saw that on the wall of a mansion about seventy or eighty steps away from him, several Tartars with longbows and cotton armor were standing on a high place, constantly shooting the Ming army with bows and arrows.
Seeing this, Mr. Bai pointed to the front and shouted: "Hurry up...... The Tartars are there, kill them! ”
"Whoosh ......"
After hearing Bai Zong's order, several Ming archers hurriedly bent their bows and shot in the direction he pointed, but because the distance of the other party was a little far, and the other party was at a higher place, and there was a wall to cover, when their arrows hit there, both speed and strength had slowed down, and the other party easily dodged.
Seeing that his arrows were ineffective, Mr. Bai anxiously shouted again: "Fire Hammer Hand...... Where are our firecrackers dead, hurry up and knock down these dog offal! ”
Just as Mr. Bai was speaking, a door close to them suddenly opened, and more than a hundred Qing soldiers suddenly rushed out.
These Tartars are all high helmets and red tassels, the iron helmets on their heads are also connected to the neck guards, the placket cotton armor with dense copper nails, the big heart guards on the chest, the huge shoulder guards on both sides, the yellow armor is inlaid with white edges, it looks very heavy, and it is actually a vest soldier with a yellow flag.
These vest soldiers with yellow flags are really fierce and abnormal, and after opening the door and rushing out, they rushed into the formation of the Ming army in just a few breaths, and the heavy weapons in their hands were waving around, and the formation of the Ming army was sparsely rushed.
With the cooperation of several crossbowmen, those horse armor soldiers were extremely brave, and in less than a few minutes, more than a dozen Ming soldiers died tragically in their hands.
"Quick...... Stop them, stop them! ”
Seeing that his own formation was about to be scattered, Mr. Bai immediately turned red, waved the long knife in his hand and rushed forward.
