415 Offensive and defensive conversions

Zilharang, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the vague shadow, but he understood in his heart that it was a team of Qing warriors. They were well fed, rested, and full of strength, and fully armed for the night.

Finally, the Ming army outside the city, although they couldn't see their situation clearly, could think with their toes that even if they also rested for a few hours, it would still be impossible for them to recover.

Moreover, the four walls of Guihua City have all prepared more ropes, and the Qing warriors will go down along the ropes together, with the cover of night, and when the Ming army finds out, the Qing army will definitely be able to gather a lot of troops.

In this battle, see how your Ming army will take over?

Zilharang thought in his heart, although he felt that his side would definitely win, but for some reason, he was still a little nervous and a little worried!

Could it be that he was worried that the main force of the Ming army would arrive in time? But now it's night, even if the Ming army can come, it's dark and sloppy, how can he tell who is who? If you really dare to do this, you can't get a chaotic war, but the Qing Dynasty has a chance to fish in troubled waters!

Even if the main force of the Ming army can arrive during the day tomorrow, the Qing army should have defeated the Ming army outside the city in one night. So it's too late for the main force of the Ming army to come again, right?

Thinking about it, Zilharang couldn't figure out what he was worried about.

For this reason, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly grinned silently and laughed at himself, could it be that he was frightened by the Ming army? How is this possible!

While he was thinking, Azig came to him in the dark and said to him, "The hour is almost up, and it can't be delayed any longer!" ”

"Good!" When Zilharang heard this, he nodded, and ordered solemnly: "Let's start!" ”

The military order was handed down, and the various Jianyu in the head of the naturalized city immediately began to act. I saw that they quickly put the knotted rope on the battlement, and then jumped up with the rope in their hands, and slid down quickly with the help of the rope.

This whole process should have been thought about many times in the minds of these Jianyu, so their actions can almost be described as flowing water.

Every zhang or so, ropes hung down, and one by one they slid down.

All the captives started to act almost at the same time, and by the time the Ming army found out that there was a problem, there would definitely be a lot of captives under the city.

Sure enough, due to the cover of night, the first Jianyu went down, and the Ming army did not move; The second Jianyu went down again, but the Ming army still did not move......

As soon as their feet touched the ground, they immediately began to be on guard, and when there were a little more people, they immediately began to grope their way out and rush out.

The slow reaction of the Ming army relieved Zilharang, who was concerned about the city. It seems that the Ming army is really too tired, and now there are a lot of Qing warriors who have gone down, even if the Ming army reacts this time, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the hand-to-hand fighting!

While he was thinking about it, the Ming army finally discovered Jianyu's movements, and in the dark night, some Ming soldiers shouted loudly: "Jianyu is out of the city!" ”

This voice, someone shouted almost every other distance, and it was obvious that there were Jianyu found everywhere.

Hearing this warning, Zilharang laughed silently. Only now do I find out that it is too late.

Immediately, however, he sensed that something was wrong. Because these shouts did not make him feel the slightest panicked tone. And after shouting, the outside of the city fell silent again, and the Ming army did not react further.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! Zilharan's smile disappeared immediately, and his eyes immediately widened to see clearly.

However, the darkness covered Jianyu's exit from the city, however, it also covered the movements of the Ming army. Even if Zilharang's eyes were like bull's eyes, he couldn't see too far from the city.

For some reason, Zilharang was a little anxious, and he immediately ordered the guards around him: "Light the fire, shoot rockets, and watch the movement of the Ming army outside the city!" ”

At least point out the direction to the Qing warriors who have already left the city, so that they know where to attack! Otherwise, if the black light is blind, and if you feel far away, the Qing warriors themselves may fight.

As soon as this military order was laid, the city was already prepared, and the torches were lit, and rockets reached out to the torches and lit them, and then shot them out of the city.

Although after a rocket lands, it can only illuminate a little place. However, after the number of rockets increases, you should always be able to see clearly near the arrow landing, right?

This is indeed true, when a lot of rockets were shot at once, Zilharang at the head of the city finally saw the situation in the distance with the help of a faint light.

I don't know if I don't see it clearly, but after seeing it clearly, Zilharang immediately stayed there!

The Ming army's actions once again surprised him.

I saw that the Ming army was all assembled in the distance facing the south gate, and at some point, an earthen wall was built that was not very high. On the earthen wall, at intervals of a short distance, a swarthy cannon was stretched out, most of the muzzle facing the south gate. Moreover, this earthen wall once surrounded the south gate in a semicircle, and then folded back to protect both sides of this semicircle.

Just by looking at it, you can probably guess that all the Ming troops are gathered behind this earthen wall. The rest of the city walls were merely observation posts.

The Ming army actually gave up the defense of the section of the city wall and shrunk into a ball?

"Haha, the Ming army knows that it can't be guarded, so it's just not guarded!" Azig also saw it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Being laughed at by him, Zilharang came back to his senses, not only did he not smile, but his face was unusually ugly, and he even got angry at Azig and said: "Stupid, how can we crack this trick of the Ming army?" ”

Being scolded by him like this, Azig was stunned and said, "What to crack?" Aren't we out of the city, there are so many places that no one can defend us! ”

Clearly, he hadn't turned the corner yet.

Zilharang's face was even more ugly, Azig thought so, and those Qing soldiers outside the city probably had similar thoughts. So, almost in a loud voice, he said, "This is the grassland, there are no horses, what is the use of going out of the city?" The Ming army just blocked the city gate, that is, cut off our Qing horse's exit. As long as they hold on to the main force, if we don't retreat, where can we retreat? ”

As soon as he heard this, Azig was also stunned. The Ming army's move was to contain their key point at once!

Now there are about 10,000 Ming troops outside the city, which is equivalent to the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and they are divided into two large camps in the north and south to shrink for defense.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look outside the city, and saw the swarthy cannon muzzle in the faint firelight, and couldn't help but think in his heart: The Ming army is good at defense, and it is also a question whether it can be defeated!

Thinking about this, Azig's face also became extremely ugly.

"Immediately pass on the military order of this king, and tell the soldiers outside the city that if you don't knock out the defensive camp of the Ming army, the war horses will not be able to get out of the city, and when the main force of the Ming army comes up, everyone will be a dead word!" Zilharang immediately commanded loudly to the guards.

He didn't give the order to search for the Ming army's war horses, because he knew that since the Ming army had made this move, their own war horses would have been driven far away if they couldn't get it, and they didn't have to think about it to know that they were definitely driven to the south, in the direction where the main force of the Ming army came.

For the Qing army, there is no need to think about anything else, if you want to survive and escape back to Liaodong, you can only lay down a Ming army camp.

Now that the war has arrived, the offensive and defensive have unconsciously switched. It is no longer the main attack of the Ming army, but has become the main attack of Jianyu. Or to say that it is absolute, in fact, at the beginning, it was also defended by the Ming army, but it was guarded by the lord of the naturalized city in all directions, as if it was a bit of a siege.

Zilharang is also worthy of being a famous general in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for his side, he still has no intention of giving up. He successively inspected the two large camps of the Ming army in the north and south outside the city, and saw that the north gate was a new Ming army, and the earthen wall built was not as high as the south gate.

So, he passed down the military order, and all the Qing troops who went out of the city mainly attacked the Ming army camp in the north of the city.

The battle in Naturalization City finally started again in the middle of the night.

This time, Jianyu attacked in the dark, anyway, the Ming army camp was there, the direction was clear, the purpose was clear, as long as he rushed in and cut people.

On the Ming side, as soon as they found out that Jianyu was starting to attack, they had to shoot rockets from time to time. On the one hand, it gives the prisoner a kill, and on the other hand, it also gives a vision.

"Whoosh ......"

"Woo Woo ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

“……”

All kinds of voices sounded again, and the battle immediately entered the white heat as soon as it began.

Jianyu jumped over the wall in a hurry, and it was really completely open, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and desperately charging forward.

And the Ming army, of course, will never allow it to fall short, no matter how crazy the Jianyu is, they will give a fierce counterattack.

But under the cover of night, it will be a little disadvantageous for the Ming army.

The defense of the Ming army was dominated by firearms. And the loading of firearms, with the help of fire, is obviously much slower.

As a result, the Franc cannon was much slower to fire after the pre-loaded guns. As for the flintlocks, they are arguably slower to reload than the reloaders.

At the head of the city, after hearing the sound of the Ming army's artillery and muskets, it was finally no longer so dense, even if Zilharang saw that a lot of Qing warriors had fallen in front of the Ming army's camp, he finally showed a smile: It seems that with the cover of night, the Qing side still has an advantage, and if this continues, this Ming army camp will definitely be broken by the Qing army!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look south again.

On the south side of the gate, there was also a battle, but it was a battle of containment. It is estimated that at this time, that He Renlong is struggling, is the Qing army attacking the east and the west, or is it really attacking the big camp at the city gate, right?

Let him tangle it, if he dares to send troops to the rescue, it will be the best. The king kept his troops, intercepted them halfway, and fought in the dark, so that he could kill and injure more of the Ming army, and then shift the focus of the attack and lay down the large camp in the south of the Ming army that lacked troops to defend.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed again.

In this battle, if it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the Ming army, even if it was not fought during the day, and the Ming army used this method to block the gate of Guihua City at night, the threat to the Qing Dynasty would not be great. Because the number of people on both sides is too different, and it is impossible for the Ming army to rest, they will definitely not be able to prevent it.

It was the reinforcement of the 5,000 Ming Army that was the key to this battle, saving the previous He Renlong's department!

Thinking of this, Zilharang couldn't help but look east in the direction of Liaodong, and thought in his heart: If this war is in Liaodong, maybe he can wait for the emperor's reinforcements. In that case, there would be no need to fight with the Ming army regardless of casualties. Speaking of which, it is still too far away from Liaodong and alone, which leads to so many difficulties in fighting by yourself!

"Your Highness, it seems that this Ming army camp is going to be defeated!" Suddenly, Azig said happily, and rarely used the honorific title for Zilharang.

When Zilharan heard this, he came back to his senses. I saw a faint figure outside the earthen wall, which was already very close to the earthen wall of the Ming army, and the interval between the sound of the Ming army's firearms was getting louder and louder. I guess I can't get busy, and I'm finally going to have a hand-to-hand fight?

"Well, it seems to be the case, if you really want the Qing army to attack it, this battle will be won!" Zilharang nodded, and said a little more calmly, "But you still can't be negligent, and if you send troops up, you must fight down to let go of this breath!" ”

"It's all like this, what other moths can the Ming army have?" Azig was a little unimpressed, but he had to admit that Zilharang was a little more thoughtful and cautious. This war is related to the life and death of all the Qing troops here, and it is indeed necessary to be so cautious and cautious.

Thinking so, he did not object, but followed and let the herald give the order.

Then, both of them stared out of the city, wanting to watch the exciting moment when the Qing warriors stormed the earthen wall.

The attack distance, getting closer, getting closer, okay, hold on a little longer, and you can attack it! I don't know when, even in such a cold weather, Zilharang's squeezing palms are sweaty.

Victory is in sight, kill these bright dogs! The war between the Qing army and the Ming army, except for the battle of the Hunhe River, how could it have been fought so hard!

Subconsciously, he selectively forgot about the Battle of Tower Hill. Or also, the battle of Tower Hill was not bitter, because it didn't have time to suffer, and the whole army was quickly wiped out.

Azig is also similar to him, staring at the Ming army camp at the north gate, and even Azig is still muttering: "Be braver, give Lao Tzu a hard time, rush in!" ”

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, which made Zilharang and Azig dumbfounded.
