Chapter 583: Capture Yan'an
After Yan'an fell into the hands of the Qing army, it did not assume a huge military role, so the Qing army did not reserve any materials in Yan'an.
There was no artillery in the city, and the main tools of the Qing army's defense were bows and arrows, rolling stones, and wood.
The soldiers of the Shun army who besieged the city had few weapons, and there was no heavy artillery, which was almost a duel of cold weapons.
When the soldiers of the Shun army rushed to the bottom of the city thirty paces, the casualties began to be huge, the Qing army at the head of the city, with bows and arrows, dense arrow rain, swished down the city, and the soldiers who rushed forward with ladders immediately fell.
The arrows at the head of the city rained down, overwhelmingly shooting at the rushing Shun army, and the arrows were shot on the shield, making a "do-do" sound.
At this time, the archers of the Shun army, thirty paces away from the city wall, stopped, stood on the frozen moat, and ripped their bows and arrows round, and the arrows shot at the head of the city like flying locusts, and many Qing soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling to the ground.
For a time, arrows were intertwined above and below the city. The archers of the Shun army are several times that of the Qing army, but they can not aim and shoot, they can only point the arrows obliquely, overwhelming the projectile, rely on luck and the density of the arrows to shoot the Qing army, the hit rate is not high, and the number of Qing troops is small, but they hide behind the city wall, and shoot arrows directly from the shooting hole, and the hit rate is high.
In this way, the numerical superiority of the Shun army's archers was offset by a large part, and it was impossible to completely suppress the city.
When attacking and shooting arrows, the soldiers of the Shun army who rushed to the dead corner of the city climbed up the ladder one after another, and the Qing army smashed down the rolling stones and sassal woods, and the Shun army attacked with a shield, but there were still many soldiers who were smashed down.
For a moment, the soldier's flesh and blood were blurred, and he was drenched in gold juice and fell off the ladder screaming.
Li Guo looked at the battlefield and saw that one group of soldiers was killed and wounded, and the other team of soldiers quickly attacked, and couldn't help but pace back and forth with his sword.
"Father, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, do you want to retreat, regroup, and then attack again?" Li Laiheng couldn't help but say.
"Nope! Give the general a drum to urge the battle, and you must go all out to attack the city! Li Guo stopped his steps, glanced at Daxu, and suddenly waved his hand and beckoned the guards behind him, "Rush with Ben!" ”
Li Laiheng hurriedly grabbed Li Guo, and in a hurry, he hurriedly shouted, "Father, you are the master and you can't take risks, give it to your son!" ”
Li Guo glanced at Li Laiheng, stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this battle is related to the face of the general, and it is also related to our status in the Wei army. For the sake of the way out of the 30,000 brothers, you must go up to the top of the city! ”
"Father, rest assured!" Li Laiheng solemnly clenched his fists.
Li Guo patted him on the shoulder, and Li Laiheng immediately roared angrily, "Go!" Rush with me! ”
Seeing this, Li Guo roared angrily, "Drums!" ”
The rumbling war drums beat up, and the war drums of "dong dong dong" urged the soldiers of the Shun army to rush towards the city.
Li Laiheng held an iron spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and was tall and majestic, charging in front, followed behind by hundreds of elite armor soldiers.
Under the banner of Daxu, Gao Yihuan saw Li Laiheng leading a team of armored soldiers, risking arrows to rush towards the city, and couldn't help but pay attention to him.
Most of the soldiers of the Shun army were dressed in tatters and messy, looking like a bandit, and suddenly a team of armored soldiers came over, which immediately attracted Meng Qiaofang's attention, and immediately waved his knife and pointed, "Quickly release the arrows and stop them!" ”
The Qing army in the city immediately stood up and shot a rain of arrows at the armor, but Li Laiheng continued to rush forward with a big gun.
"Cover General Lee!" In the queue of archers, Shun General Dang Shousu pointed at the knife.
The archers of the Shun army under the city suddenly bent their bows and arrows together, shooting waves of arrows onto the city.
Li Lai hummed a section of the city wall in front of him, and was shot by arrows under the city, and the arrows fell like rain, and the archers at the head of the city could only return fire from the shooting hole, and as soon as he stood up straight, he was put down by the arrows when he lifted the stones.
Several Qing soldiers hurriedly took shields to protect Meng Qiaofang, and at this moment, a cloud ladder was mounted on the city wall, and Li Laiheng immediately walked up quickly.
The Qing army, which was hiding behind the battlements, immediately fired arrows at the Shun army on the ladder, trying to prevent the Shun army from entering the city.
The ladder is different from the simple ladder to climb the city, the ladder is built under the root of the wall, the angle between the ladder and the city wall is only about 15 degrees, almost close to the city wall, the defenders can only use the rolling wood thunder stone to smash, but the bow and arrow can not be shot, the ladder is obliquely mounted on the city wall, the ladder is wider and stronger than the ladder of the city, and basically can not be overturned, but because the inclination is about 45 degrees, there is no dead angle under the root of the wall, so the bow and arrow can be shot.
A few arrows came, Li Laiheng blocked with a shield, the shield was full of arrows, and the armor behind him couldn't dodge, and many people rolled down the ladder.
"Kill!" At this time, Li Laiheng suddenly smashed his shield at the head of the city, hitting a Qing soldier, and then suddenly roared, and jumped on the head of the city.
At this time, the archers of the Shun army under the city were not suppressing the city, and as soon as the pressure of the Qing army at the head of the city was relaxed, they saw a tall figure, swept like a violent wind.
Li Laiheng's iron spear stabbed, the cold light was dotted, and suddenly the blood mist was filled, and the two Qing soldiers who rushed up were directly pierced through the chest by the iron spear.
Seeing this, a Qing general instantly turned red, raised a knife to kill him, Li Laiheng stabbed with an iron spear, and the Qing general's body suddenly froze, and the head of the spear pierced into his chest and revealed his back.
The Qing army that was about to surround him, his footsteps stopped, Li Laiheng and the armored soldiers who boarded the city behind him, but rushed over, he stabbed with a big gun, and in a moment the city fell to the ground with corpses.
Seeing this, Meng Qiaofang's eyes were red, and she wanted to rush forward, but she was a little hesitant.
After all, people in their fifties are no better than when they were younger, and as a governor, they are already in a high position, so there is no need to work hard in person.
When Meng Qiaofang's face turned red, Li Laiheng threw a corpse of a Qing army into the city with a big gun, glanced at Meng Qiaofang, and immediately shot him.
"Governor, hurry up, it'll be too late if you don't leave!"
More than a dozen red-armored soldiers suddenly surrounded Meng Qiaofang and went down the city, Meng Qiaofang scolded, symbolically struggled twice, then borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, followed the soldiers down the city, and went to the east gate.
Li Laiheng came over and was entangled by the Han soldiers with red flags, he killed several people in a row, and when he went to observe, Meng Qiaofang's figure was gone.
He scanned the city with a big gun, saw a triangular yellow dragon flag, and immediately pointed, "Throw down the flag of the Tartar and plant the flag of the general!" ”
Under the banner of Daxu, Gao Yihuan saw the provocative banner of the Qing army, and was thrown off the city, and couldn't help but put down the clairing mirror and bowed slightly.
The Shun army attacked on three sides, leaving one side unattacked, in order to reduce the Qing army's will to resist.
When Meng Qiaofang fled to the east gate, the sound of killing in the city shook the sky, and the Shun army had already entered the city.
At this time, the east gate slowly opened, Meng Qiaofang glanced back, sighed, and rushed out of the city surrounded by dozens of cavalry.
On a hill in the distance, Huang Bingzhong saw Meng Qiaofang running out of the city, and couldn't help but smile faintly, and with a wave of his hand, he led people down the mountain.
At this time, the city gates of Yan'an had been opened, and a large army of Shun troops poured into the city.
Under the banner of Daxu, Li Yan suddenly said to Gao Yihuan: "King, if you catch Meng Qiaofang, the minister suggests keeping him." Through him, the king can establish a channel of communication with the Manchus! ”
