Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Abatai, who was originally like ashes, suddenly brightened up in his eyes.

What do you mean?

The eighth doesn't kill himself? Do you want to give yourself a chance to make meritorious contributions?

Is there such a good thing?

Abatai raised his head hurriedly and promised to Huang Taiji loudly: "Please rest assured, the emperor will give the order, and I promise to do my best to complete the task assigned by the emperor." ”

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Then I order you, lead another 20,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Dolgon, no matter what, no matter how much the price is paid, you must also take this western city wall and occupy the entire outer city of Vladivostok Fort first!" ”

"Huh! I obey the order! ”

When Abatai got up from the ground again, his face was full of energy. He then turned around and retired, and immediately went to select soldiers and prepare to attack.

Seeing the flying snowflakes, Abatai left proudly, and Huang Taiji's face was as cold as iron, but he finally let out a heavy sigh.

The son Hauge on the side frowned and asked him with a puzzled expression: "Khan Ama, Abatai, this lost army, and even lost nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses, which is really a big setback to the prestige of our army and a great loss of face in our Qing Dynasty. Why didn't Khan Ama punish this person severely, but gave him a chance to make new contributions? ”

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh, he shook his head and said: "Cutting generals in battle has always been a taboo for soldiers. Moreover, Abatai's defeat this time was also due to the lack of preparation of our army and the lack of support for the opponent, and from this point of view, I also made mistakes, so how could I blame Abatai too much. ”

Hauge said in a deep voice: "Khan Ama, in that case, our army will attack the western wall of Vladivostok with all its might, in order to use this as a breakthrough, and then seize this Vladivostok fort, right?" “

Huang Taiji said: "That's right, now this Vladivostok Fort is guarded by ships of the Tang Army's naval divisions on three sides, southeast and north, and it is not easy for our army to try it." It can be seen that the weakest point of the Vladivostok Fort is the western wall. Therefore, this western wall is the only breakthrough point for our army, so I have decided to break through here at all costs and finally occupy the entire Vladivostok Fort! “

After Huang Taiji said this, the expression on his face was as tight as iron, and the horizontal flesh on the face of the flatbread was trembling slightly.

Up to now, the Qing army has made a desperate bet, except for more than 20,000 cavalry, basically all the main forces of the Qing infantry have been put into the battlefield. It can be seen from this that Huang Taiji wants to take this Vladivostok Fort with great determination and how willing he is to spend the capital.

And the reason why Huang Taiji invested his troops so frantically and made up his mind to take down this Vladivostok He was actually holding his breath in his heart.

That is, since this Li Xiao, who is like a natural nemesis, has made his way to his career, every battle he has fought with Li Xiao has almost always ended with Li Xiao's victory and the defeat of the Qing army. From the beginning of the war to the present, the Qing army has always lived in the shadow of this person, so Huang Taiji really held his breath, and if he didn't completely defeat this Li Xiao once, he couldn't get rid of this heart disease.

Therefore, he made up his mind that if he was not afraid of sacrifice and did not hesitate to spend his capital, he must also take this important town of Vladivostok Fort to give Li Xiao a heavy and devastating blow.

Besides, if the Qing army concentrates all its strength and occupies the right time, place and people, but it can't even take the Vladivostok Fort that has not yet been built, and can't occupy it, wouldn't this be an absolute shame? What's more, if you can't take this Vladivostok Fort, if you want to take down Miaojie Fort and other places where Li Xiaojun's garrison is more tightly guarded and has more troops, won't it be even more dusty.

What's more, behind the entire army formation, there was the Russian overseer Golovin, and the Russian army, which consisted of 2,500 musketeers and 500 Cossack cavalry, although they could not participate in the battle due to the weather, but they were all watching the battle carefully. If the Qing Dynasty really can't capture this fort and returns with a feather, the face of the Qing Dynasty will really be completely lost.

It can be said that the attack on Vladivostok Fort was a battle that could only be won and not lost, and in a sense, it was not only about the face of the Qing Dynasty, but also about the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty.

100,000 Qing troops, even a small, unbuilt Vladivostok Fort can't be captured, and the Qing Dynasty will never be qualified to compete with Li Xiao's invisible empire.

When Abatai once again led 20,000 Qing soldiers, climbed up the siege ladder and continued to attack on the west gate wall of Vladivostok Fort, the Qing army at the head of the city, after a long period of hard fighting, had begun to gradually gain the upper hand.

The Qing army that attacked the city wall from the head of the city, with its superior strength, constantly squeezed the Tang soldiers who fought desperately to the ground and constantly retreated, and all the Tang troops defending the city finally could no longer hold on, and the exhausted shield soldiers and spearmen, as well as the rampant sentry that fought to exhaustion, were all pushed back continuously, and the vacancy exposed was becoming more and more difficult to fill.

It's just that Rao is so, under the personal supervision of the main general Li Dingguo, no one dares to escape or surrender without authorization, although the Tang army defending the city on the wall of the West Gate is only a fraction of the number of the Qing army, but it still fights to the death and fights to the end.

Soldiers of the Tang Army continued to fall, screaming and falling into the ankle-spilled pool of blood at the head of the city, or falling straight from the city wall, becoming a bloody mass of flesh and blood. In the shadow of the sword and sword, their blood gushed out, their stumps flew wildly, and their heads rolled to the ground, and the battle situation was extremely tragic. Although the battle was so fierce, these Tang soldiers did not retreat to the death, and used their lives and courage to fulfill the loyal promise of a Tang soldier and maintain the dignity and glory of the invisible empire.

At this point in the battle, the Tang Army spearmen, a Maori from Australia, suddenly found that with the death of his companions, only he and a few Tang soldiers were left, still dying.

Along with Na Lao, several Maori soldiers who joined the Tang Army were all killed in battle at this time, and only he himself survived to the end.

Originally from Western Australia, he was the lowest-status slave in their tribe. And what he could do to change the fate of history was fortunate that after the Tang Army occupied Australia, it implemented a forced assimilation strategy against the entire Australian aborigines.

That is, after conquering the whole of Australia, Li Xiao ordered that the policy of forced sinicization be adopted for more than 100,000 natives in the entire Australia, and Han officials were forcibly dispatched to these tribes, and the structure of the entire tribe was broken up, so that these Maori people, who were originally in a slave society, could read Chinese books, wear Han clothes, and understand Han etiquette.

The Tang army was not worried at all, and there would be tribes who would dare to oppose the forced assimilation policy of the Tang army, because the tribes that had the courage to resist were slaughtered by the Tang army as early as when the Tang army invaded Australia. Now the remaining Maori tribes have long been like frightened birds, and they dare not oppose any policy of the Tang Army.

It was precisely because of the Tang Army's policy that tribal slaves like Lao Lao were freed from cruel oppression and had the same rights to marry, have children and receive education like ordinary tribal residents. Therefore, for Tang Jun, who can change his fate, he can be described as extremely grateful to Dade.

Next, the Tang army rested in Australia, and with the expansion of soldiers, it was precisely because of the Tang army's national assimilation policy that he had the opportunity to join the Tang army together with several young Maori slaves of the same tribe. He started as a small auxiliary, and finally became a Tang Army spearman with his own efforts.

Subsequently, the first battalion of Pingnan Town, where Lao Lao and others were located, was ordered by Li Xiao to transfer all the way north from distant Australia, first to Jeju Island, and after resting there for several months, before the Songjin War was launched, the whole army was transferred north again, came to this Vladivostok Fort, and began to build the fort on the spot, until this sudden war broke out.

He was panting again and again, his throat was extremely thirsty, his black face covered with blood, and in his light brown eyes, there were many Qing soldiers who were surrounded on all sides and were also covered in blood.

He suddenly remembered those civilian officials in the Tang Army's Supervision and Restoration Division, the high-intensity brainwashing propaganda every day, in the brainwashing propaganda day after day, let this Maori soldier completely remember that as long as he fought bravely for the Tang Army and worked hard to kill the enemy, then such a loyal soldier will definitely be able to go to heaven after death.

Heaven.

What a wonderful place.

If you could go there, there would be no pain, sorrow, war, strife and fighting.

If I could go to heaven, I'd rather do nothing there than sleep for a long time and never wake up......

"Kill the Tartars and go to heaven!"

The paradise of beauty, the paradise of blood, the paradise of bliss, the paradise of cruelty, the paradise of longing, the paradise of disillusionment and hope, I, the heaven, are coming......

In a small corner of the city wall of the West Gate, Lao Lao and the remaining Tang soldiers, although everyone was injured, they all rose up and roared and launched a suicidal attack on the Qing troops who surrounded them on all sides.

In a short battle, all the Tang soldiers were killed, and three blood-stained tiger spears stabbed him at the same time, two in the abdomen and one in the chest.

He let out a terrible howl, the severe pain made him almost faint, his chest and abdomen were covered with blood, and he wanted to summon all his courage to launch a final attack on the Qing army, when a tiger knife with blood on the surface of the knife roared from behind him.

With a soft click, the extremely sharp tiger knife slashed straight through the neck of the spurt, and under the rush of the blood in his neck that gushed like a pillar, his head suddenly soared into the air.

At this moment, Lao Lao suddenly found that his head was cut off, and there was no pain as he imagined, at this time, he suddenly felt that his body had become extremely light and transparent, he let out a bird-like cry, and went straight to the heaven that was hiding in the clouds.

The brutal death of Na Lao is just a small, insignificant microcosm of the entire Tang army fighting bravely on the city wall.

At this moment, there is no human affection, morality, conscience, or legal constraints, only fighting like wild beasts, only life-and-death battles, only corpses piling up, only rivers of blood, only the clanging of swords, only the wails of dying, this is the real war, the cruel war, the war that strips away all the beautification and blood!

The struggle between the two emerging empires is so tragic and ruthless, you live and die.

Li Dingguo, the commander of the Tang Army, under the desperate protection of a group of personal soldiers, fought and retreated, and retreated from the ankle-blooded west city wall.

Li Dingguo took the lead and personally engaged the Qing army at the head of the city, and after killing and wounding more than a dozen Qing soldiers, he was shot in the thigh, and blood was poured out.

At this time, Zu Kuan, the deputy general of the Tang Army, who had just defeated the Abatai Division, saw that Li Dingguo was injured and went down to the city, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"General Li, your injuries ......" Zu Kuan looked concerned.

"Out of the way." Li Dingguo gasped, his blood-stained face was like a knife: "Zu Kuan, the enemy army that intends to sneak attack the east gate of my Vladivostok Fort, have you repelled it?" “

When Zu Kuan heard Li Dingguo's question, a bright light flashed on his face, and he bowed to Li Dingguo: "General Li, now I have led the crossbowmen and cooperated with the sailors to completely defeat the Qing army that tried to take the opportunity to attack our Vladivostok Fort, according to the estimates, I am afraid that at least 5,000 Qing troops will die in the hands of our army." It's just that now we are waiting for how to act, and I ask General Li to give me urgent instructions. ”

Li Dingguo stared straight at Zu Kuan, silent for a while, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Zu Kuan, the guards of the outer city, you don't care about it for now. I order you to take all the auxiliaries and guard the inner city, and leave these crossbowmen to the general himself. Li Dingguo coldly ordered.

Zu Kuan hesitated for a moment, although he didn't know why Li Dingguo gave this order, he still replied immediately: "Down, obey the order." “

Subsequently, Zu Kuan led the remaining more than 800 auxiliary soldiers into the inner city to guard, and more than 6,000 crossbowmen outside the city began to be personally commanded by Li Dingguo.

These crossbowmen were all concentrated under the west city wall by Li Dingguo, and they were only a few dozen steps away from the city wall.

Li Dingguo looked at all the crossbowmen who were standing silently in a daze, then turned his head and looked at the remnants of the spear and shield soldiers and rampant sentry who were fighting desperately at the head of the city, strangled with the Qing army, and almost indistinguishable from each other, and the painful look on his face was almost incomprehensible.

Finally, he took a long breath and gave a cold and clear order: "All the crossbowmen obey the order, shoot crossbow arrows at the enemy army at the head of the city, and shoot all the Qing troops at the head of the city!" “

As soon as Li Dingguo gave this order, all the crossbowmen instantly changed their faces, and everyone's faces were full of shocked and terrifying expressions.

No way?!

Now on the western city wall, the enemy and us are so intertwined and inseparable, the Qing army no longer dares to throw arrows, and we wait for such a crossbow arrow, will it not be that both the enemy and the enemy are shot together?

This, this is simply ......

Li Dingguo seemed to see through the hesitation in everyone's hearts, and he shouted: "The war is urgent, so hurry up and execute the order!" If you violate it, you will be killed! ”4610
