Chapter 717: A Moment of Soft-Heartedness

717 relented for a while

[Today's second chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

The terrain on the wall is narrow, and the Tartar white-armored soldiers have their backs against the city wall, so that the Ming soldiers can only have a maximum of three or four soldiers at a time, and they can besiege him together, and no matter how many places they can't stay.

This is the disadvantage of defending the city, and sometimes it doesn't work very well because of the large number of people.

On the contrary, a small number of elite soldiers can exert their power in such a narrow terrain.

Because, with this Tartar white armor soldier to open the way.

On the wall, he temporarily stopped the Ming soldiers, so that the more than 20 elite Qing soldiers who followed him also took the opportunity to climb over the wall.

After these Qing soldiers climbed over the wall, they immediately stood on the two wings of this Tartar white-armored soldier to guard against the many soldiers of the Ming army who were about to attack.

"Brothers, kill these clear dogs, rush!"

Due to Jia Wu's mobilization and urging, at this time, there were already dozens of Ming soldiers and soldiers surrounding this area and surrounding those Qing soldiers.

As one of the soldiers at the front roared and took the initiative to rush forward with a long knife, the rest of the Ming soldiers also followed, and the fierce battle broke out again.

Poof! Poof!

"Ahhh

Then, at this section of the wall, the swords and guns cut through the flesh and blood, pierced the armor, and the screams of the human beings never stopped.

Dozens of Ming soldiers besieged the four or five Qing soldiers, but these Qing soldiers were all real elites, and dealing with these ordinary Ming soldiers and soldiers, it was a bit too much to take one enemy and ten soldiers, but it was never a problem to fight three with one enemy.

In addition, the narrow terrain of the city wall also has very big restrictions on the large number of people on the Ming army's side.

The Ming soldiers who rushed in front of them only had a small number of soldiers at a time, and they could fight with the Qing soldiers, and the people behind could only watch dryly, and they couldn't intervene.

Only when the soldiers in front fall, the Ming soldiers in the back can rush up again, just like a tactic of adding fuel.

However, this kind of refueling tactic is just a big taboo when dealing with elite people.

In this way, only four or five elite Qing soldiers blocked the onslaught of dozens of Ming troops, although two Qing soldiers were soon killed.

But the price paid by the Ming army was even greater, and seven or eight soldiers fell.

Moreover, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that because of the delay of the four or five Qing soldiers in front, more Qing soldiers in the back closed the wall along the ladder.

The battlements of the wall controlled by these Qing soldiers were a bridgehead they occupied, covering the steady stream of Qing soldiers behind them.

"Report, Dashuai, no, there are Tartars on the wall in the western section.

General Jia sent a small one to ask for help. ”

Soon, a panicked Ming soldier rushed to the gate tower to report the emergency to Lu Xiangsheng.

The heavy rain blocked Lu Xiangsheng's vision on the Guan Tower, and even if he used a clairvoyant mirror at this time, he couldn't see the specific situation of the Guan Wall in the western section in the distance.

"Ben Shuai knows, you go back and tell Jia Wu that if they break it first, Ben Shuai will behead him.

Ben Shuai immediately ordered people to rush to support. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's face was cold, and he said in a cold voice.

"Yes, the little one will go back to his life."

As soon as the Ming soldier who asked for help left, Lu Xiangsheng turned to a young guard behind him and said, "Ah Hai, go down and give an order to send an additional 1,000 men to the side of Jia Wu on the western section of the wall."

At the same time, you go and give an order to General Bao Lao and ask him to send three hundred-man troops to support Jia Wu in the west.

Strive to drive the Qing soldiers who climbed the wall to the commander in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes, Marshal, I'll give the order here." The young guard then left.

Lu Xiangsheng asked Guan Ling last night to bring all the rest of the veterans of the Tianxiong Army in Daizhou, and there was a general surnamed Bao who was nearly fifty years old and commanded.

There is no doubt that the remaining 4,000 veterans of the Tianxiong Army are the most elite men and horses in Lu Xiangsheng's hands, and they are organized into reserves and are responsible for fighting fires everywhere.

"Let the Tartars kill the wall so quickly, it's only been an hour since the war started!"

Du Xun was beside him, and after hearing the report of the Ming soldier just now, his heart trembled, and he said dissatisfiedly to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Don't worry about the Du Jian army, the battle has just begun, the commander has already sent reinforcements over, and those Qing soldiers will be driven down soon."

Lu Xiangsheng's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly.

But at this time, Du Xun didn't believe Lu Xiangsheng's words at all, he thought that most of the Yanmen Pass this time was really undefensible, and the Tartar offensive was too fierce.

Therefore, at this time, Du Xun wanted to leave Yanmen Pass, but he didn't want to stay here and give Lu Xiangsheng their funeral.

"Lord Lu, the miscellaneous family has been in poor health recently, you better let the miscellaneous family go back to Daizhou, and then I will go to Taiyuan Mansion to recuperate, and I will never stay in Daizhou for one more day."

Du Xun wanted to leave Yanmen Pass at this time, so he begged Lu Xiangsheng.

Moreover, Du Xun was very smart, he knew what Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of him, it was nothing more than that he didn't want him to stay in Daizhou and affect his command.

Therefore, at this time, Du Xun took the initiative to indicate that he left Daizhou and went to Taiyuan.

"Du Jianjun, you see that it is still raining heavily outside, you should not travel, you should stay in Yanmen Pass honestly, and see how Ben Shuai expels Jiannu."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't agree to Du Xun easily, he understood that Du Xun wanted to leave because he was afraid.

"Lu Xiangsheng, don't go too far, you don't have the right to restrict the freedom of the miscellaneous family, don't forget, the miscellaneous family is the prison army of the Holy Lord. 、

Shang Fang's sword is here, you dare to ignore the request of the miscellaneous family, after the miscellaneous family returns to Beijing, they must sue you to the Holy Lord. ”

Du Xun was also in a hurry, and did not hesitate to raise Shang Fang's sword to put pressure on Lu Xiangsheng, which made Lu Xiangsheng frown.

To be honest, the reason why Lu Xiangsheng wanted to see Du Xun by his side was indeed worried that he would stay in Daizhou, which would make him feel uneasy.

As for Du Xun at Yanmen Pass, in fact, it really had no effect on Lu Xiangsheng and them to resist the Qing army.

If Du Xun really didn't go back to Daizhou, but went to Taiyuan, in fact, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't agree in his heart.

Otherwise, at this time, Du Xun had already raised Shang Fang's sword, and if Lu Xiangsheng still refused, it would not be good.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's hesitation, Du Xun knew that his threat had played a role, and knew that at this time he should add another fire and let Lu Xiangsheng agree to let him go.

It's just that this fire can no longer be a threat, but a lure.

"Dashuai, the miscellaneous family can't help you if they stay here, it's better to let the miscellaneous family go to Taiyuan.

The soldiers of Daizhou, aren't they short of water and cotton clothes?

After the miscellaneous family arrived in Taiyuan, they urged those officials in Taiyuan to raise enough cotton clothes as soon as possible and send them to Daizhou.

If it weren't for the urine of those officials in various places who procrastinated to do things, let alone half a month, even if they were given two months, they might not be able to send 50,000 sets of cotton clothes.

The miscellaneous family guaranteed their lives, and when the miscellaneous family arrived in Taiyuan, they would definitely send 50,000 sets of cotton clothes to the handsome within half a month.

The miscellaneous family dared to make a military order. ”

At this moment, Du Xun deeply grasped what Lu Xiangsheng needed most, and assured him with a righteous face without hesitation.

"Du Jianjun, are you serious?"

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng looking at him and asking like this, a sneer rose in Du Xun's heart, knowing that Lu Xiangsheng's heart was moved.

"Of course, Marshal, there is no joke in the army, although the army is irresponsible to fight, but it can still raise some materials.

This is also the only thing that this prison army can do for the commander, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanmen Pass and Daizhou. ”

I have to say that Du Xun's acting skills are very good, and what he said is sincere, and he really moved Lu Xiangsheng at this time.

Because, at this time, Lu Xiangsheng really needed cotton clothes, and then the weather turned cold, and he couldn't let his soldiers fight in thin clothes one by one.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng felt that since Du Xun dared to make a military order, most of them would not dare to break his promise, otherwise he would never be able to spare him in the future.

It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng far underestimated a villain like Du Xun, the lower limit of being shameless.

"Okay, Ben Shuai agreed, you can leave Yanmen Pass, but you are not allowed to return to Daizhou, Ben Shuai will send a team of people to escort you directly to Taiyuan."

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng still chose to agree to Du Xun's request.

"Thank you, Sir."

After hearing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Du Xun also responded excitedly.

"Du Jianjun, don't forget the military order you made." Lu Xiangsheng did not forget to remind Du Xun.

Du Xun immediately patted his chest and said happily: "Don't worry, the miscellaneous family will do what he says." ”

However, what Du Xun really wanted to say in his heart at this time was: The surname Lu still wants the miscellaneous family to raise cotton clothes for you, you can dream about it.

"Someone, escort Du Jianjun away."

Immediately, Du Xun did not hesitate to brave the heavy rain, under the protection of more than ten Ming cavalry, left Yanmen Pass and headed south.

What Lu Xiangsheng didn't know was that his gullibility of Du Xun this time was a big mistake, which led to more disasters later.

"Kill!"

At this time, the battle on the wall of Yanmen Pass became more tragic.

Especially the Western Section of the Wall, because this is the place where the Qing soldiers first climbed the Wall, this made Azig outside the city realize that the defense of the Western Section Wall was weak, and sent more men and horses to storm the Western Section Wall.

Although Lu Xiangsheng sent more than 1,000 reinforcements to Jia Wu's side, half an hour passed, but not only did he not drive the Qing soldiers there.

On the contrary, more Qing soldiers were allowed to attack the wall, and the two sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat on the wall.

Although there were many people on the Ming army's side, they were still pressed and killed by the Qing soldiers.

Fortunately, with the archers mobilized by Jia Wu and the three hundred-man teams of the Tianxiong Army, they regained their advantage and recompressed the Qing troops who were trying to expand the place and recompress it back into a small area.

In the afternoon, the rain finally subsided, but the battle between the two sides became more intense.

"Kill!"

One by one, the Qing soldiers roared angrily, trying to climb the wall, but most of them were driven down by the Ming army on the wall.

The most fierce competition is the western section of the wall, where and under the wall, a large number of corpses of soldiers from both sides have been piled up.

The entire Yanmen Pass turned pale red from a distance, which was because it was dyed red with blood.

The rainwater that fell on the Yanmen Gate turned red when it flowed down the wall and down the mountain ravine, forming a unique red stream.
