Chapter 667: Let Go
After waiting for a long time, Jin Zhong stopped crying in a low voice, wiped the tears on his face, and cautiously took two steps back.
Then, I don't know if it was Laizi's words that touched his nerves, or the last threat that played a role, in short, he still took the lead in compromising.
I only heard Jin Zhong whisper to Laizi: "Laizi, I can let you go, but you can't leave until I crawl back to the trench over there first." โ
When Lai Zi heard that he could really do it, he didn't care about the conditions proposed by Jin Zhong, but he nodded yes busily, Jin Zhong stared at Lai Zi for a while, and then slowly took two steps back, quietly climbed up the shallow pit of the horse ditch, and crawled past where the Jin army was behind.
After watching Jin Zhong gradually disappear into the deep twilight, Lai Zi also carefully lurked his body in the barricade ditch again, and waited until he looked around for a while, thinking that he had indeed been completely safe, and then got up again and touched the direction of the Lushun defense line.
The dark rammed earth wall of Lushun was getting closer and closer in front of me, and there seemed to be some Chinese voices. There was a faint glow of fire behind the rammed earth wall, and Raiko bit her lip and cried. Crawl in the direction of the firelight.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Outside the city of Lushun in the dark of night, about 200 meters away from the banner of the Houjin Chinese army, Dolgon stood on the rammed earth wall built by the Houjin army with a lonely face.
He quietly looked at the bright beams of light formed by the reflection of countless small pieces of glass combined at a specific angle on the city wall of Lushun in the distance, and his eyes were very complicated.
Dolgon knew that those beams of light were formed by reflecting the light of candles from mirrors, and he also knew that Huaxia could produce a large amount of glass by himself, but he still couldn't imagine how many glass mirrors would be consumed for just a few lights.
Is China really so rich now? The opponent in front of him has already made him a little incomprehensible.
A faint smell of blood blew through the breeze and burrowed into his nose.
He was only accompanied by his brother Dordor, who whispered to Dorgon, "Brother, we really can't fight anymore. Daikin's elite are good at field warfare and not good at siege.
Especially now we are facing this kind of rammed earth wall, there will be a large winding and undulating at intervals, even if you attack the city wall, you will be hit by enemies on three sides.
When attacking that section of the rammed earth wall today, it had already lost a thousand-man team of the outer Mongolian domain, Wuzhen Chaoha and the Tianyou army also added up to three Niu Lu, and the armor soldiers and Yu Ding of the Han army banner had lost more than 2,000 people.
Yes, these are just minions, and if they die, they will die, and we can catch them again, but the officers who led the troops also died a lot. Niu Lu Ezhen lost 13 people, Jiala Ezhen lost 5 people, Baya Lazhen 1 person, and Meler Ezhen 1 person.
In addition, our Jurchen own athletes have suffered more than 1,000 casualties. That's it, and I still don't count the number of losses in the coating. But even with so many losses, we were finally kicked out of that section of the rammed earth wall.
Now our gunpowder consumption has exceeded 1,000 catties, the lead has been exhausted, and even the sacks and frames used to hold the soil have been completely used up. We're in a bad situation! โ
Dorgon said so many things, but Dorgon did not react as if he had turned a deaf ear, and waited for a while before he asked softly, "Have Baylor and the ministers ever looked for you?" โ
Duoduo replied honestly: "The Taiji of the Mongolian tribes of the outer domains have complained one after another. and the Belle, Taiji, and Beizi of the Jurchen banners, all of whom were unwilling to fight anymore.
Including Zilharang's Baylor, who was close to us, they all looked for me in private, and the meaning of the words was beyond the words..." At this point, Duoduo paused slightly.
Dolgon asked expressionlessly, "What do they mean, are they unwilling to fight anymore?" โ
Duoduo nodded and confirmed, "In the afternoon, those key assault places have officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, but even if the other party fights hand-to-hand, they still insist on fighting to the death.
At that time, I also watched the battles there, and the fiercest ones there were not those Chinese soldiers, but those auxiliaries who did not wear the steel vests of the Huaxia Army at all, and only wore cotton armor and cloth armor.
Brother, I saw it with my own eyes, two Huaxia auxiliaries holding something called an explosive bag rushed directly into our attacking team, killing more than a dozen of us at once.
Seriously, brother, the men and horses of each banner are not afraid of fighting with the Huaxia army, but after these auxiliaries ran up, our people began to shrink back, and all the banners and cattle were all fleeing.
Later, more and more people were fleeing, and in terms of morale, it was really inconvenient to fight again. โ
Dolgon narrowed his eyes, looking at the few lights on the city wall of Lushun in the distance, which were very dazzling from this era, and suddenly asked Duoduo beside him: "Fifteen, did you say that Chen Xin is also on the opposite city wall now?" โ
Duoduo didn't expect Dorgon to suddenly ask this question, he didn't know how to answer, he was stunned for a moment and then guessed, "Chen Xin? Maybe it's there! Didn't we arrange a few red-coated cannons to bombard that city wall today, but looking at the way the Huaxia army was fighting, the artillery team didn't hit him at all. โ
Dolgon shook his head with a wry smile at his brother, who had shown his brotherhood again in the past few days, and said, "I never expected to be able to beat Chen Xin to death like this.
I just want to ask him where he found so many people who dared to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, and how he trained them to be what they are now, as if they were carved out of the same mold. โ
Speaking of this, Dolgon suddenly remembered something and asked, "I asked you to talk more about the captives who took refuge in Huaxia, have you asked?" โ
"Brother, in the past few days, I have also asked those surrendered soldiers, according to their statement, all the officers in the Huaxia Army are recruited from a school called "Lecture Martial Arts" like a private school.
And their soldiers, whether they are infantry, cavalry, artillery, or engineers, have something called the "Code of Military Conduct", and all the soldiers are trained according to that thing.
The recruits of the Huaxia Army are generally recruited from various townships and towns, and the people in the townships and towns usually carry out a certain degree of training under the leadership of the militia, and whenever the Huaxia Army expands its army, they will select the best and strongest soldiers from among these people. โ
