Next, the bold Qin Zhen took Yuan Siyue and secretly sent three seriously injured and not dead Tartar soldiers back to the west.
All the tartars that passed by Qin Zhen and Yuan Siyue were all corpses, and there would be no wounded.
Ilgen Jue Luo Duo Ke ordered that even if the Tartar soldiers died, their corpses should be brought down by Qin Zhen and them.
And like Qin Zhen, the dead corpse Tartar didn't even let him take care of it, and even some seriously injured people were not allowed to pay attention to it.
"Brother, save me."
Qin Zhen heard a weak voice, and saw a seriously injured soldier lying in front of him.
This person spoke Chinese, and Qin Zhen knew that this person was the same as him, as soon as Qin Zhen looked at the armor he was wearing, yes.
At this time, one of the man's legs was gone, leaving a pool of red blood, and there were several blood holes on his body, obviously injured by lead bullets.
After being so seriously injured, he miraculously didn't die, which made Qin Zhen feel incredible.
Qin Zhen squatted beside this seriously injured Aha and looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and anger in his heart, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, I can't save you." ”
"I ...... Know. The wounded man said weakly.
How could he not know that even if he was carried down by Qin Zhen, those Tartars would not save him at all.
Tartar wouldn't waste medicine and time on a mortally wounded and dying minion like him.
"Brother, help...... Help me. The badly wounded Aha said again.
"Good!" Tears flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, he knew what this person meant when he said that he had to help him.
Qin Zhen pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the person's chest.
"Finally...... Liberated! Before he died, the man smiled.
"Brother, let's go." Qin Zhen pulled out the dagger, covered the man's eyes with his hand, and said in a deep voice.
This kind of thing is also happening in other places around at this time, and on this artillery position, if Aha is seriously injured, it is basically equivalent to a dead person.
"This is the sorrow of being a dog, even if I, Qin Zhen, die, I must not die so much."
Looking at the corpse of this Aha lying in front of him, Qin Zhen suddenly had a feeling of sadness that a rabbit was dead, clenched his fists, and whispered to himself.
At this time, the hundreds of Tartars and Aha on the front line, after paying huge casualties, still let them rush to the trench under the new fort.
Some of the ahabs, who were carrying planks on their backs, immediately put their planks on top of the ditch and tried to build a passage that would allow them to cross the ditch.
On this more than 100-step charge, the Tartars and the Ahabs they led paid a heavy price for the corpses they left behind.
After being bombarded by the artillery of the White Dragon Army on the new castle, three rounds of artillery bombardment, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses and wounded, finally let them rush to the front of the trench.
And behind the trench was a breastwork, behind which squatted two hundred musketeers of the city defense army, waiting for the order of Zhu Dahai above the new castle.
"Let the brothers in the back of the chest, let's start!"
As Zhu Dahai gave the order, the two hundred city defense musketeers behind the breastwork outside the castle immediately saw the order flag.
One of the leaders of the city defense army shouted: "Shoot! ”
Bang bang bang!
Then, the very familiar, crisp sound of fried beans appeared.
Ahhh
Many Ahabs, who had just rushed to the front of the trench and were putting on planks and trying to cross the trench, were immediately miserable.
They were shot head-on with lead bullets, the most ruthless killing, only about sixty meters away, it was the time when the white dragon army's flintlock pistol shot out the lead bullets, and the power was the most terrifying.
These Ahabs, who rushed to the front, also had the most tattered armor on their bodies, similar to ordinary Ming soldiers, and it was impossible to block the lead bullets fired by the flintlock pistols.
Once hit by lead bullets, even if you don't die, you will immediately lose your combat effectiveness.
For the Tartars, Aha who has lost his combat effectiveness is basically no different from dead.
"Rush over, rush over."
At this time, a Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang in the back roared loudly, urging the Tartars and Aha in front to continue to rush over.
"Bombardier, throw the iron shell mine."
At this time, at a few windows on the second floor of the new castle, the city defense soldiers inside threw the ignited iron-shelled mines through the windows to the outside.
Thundered!
The iron-clad mine that was thrown out fell right on the side of the trench, and there was a loud explosion, and lead bullets, iron nails, and iron pieces were splashed.
Ahhh
Then I saw a number of Tartars and Aha screaming and falling from the planks into the trench, which was full of sharp wooden spears.
Many of the fallen Tartars and Aha screamed and were pierced into a hornet's nest, which was extremely miserable.
"Damn, what kind of play are these!"
The Tartar Niu Lu Jingzhang in the back, looking at the soldiers who were blown up by the iron-shelled thunder at this time, crying and crying for their mother, and retreating in embarrassment, were also shocked.
This wave of Tartar attacks is destined to be inconclusive, and this can also be seen in Ilgen Jue Luodoro, who is standing behind.
"Let the backbone lead people down, they can't attack."
Ilgen felt a little disappointed, and said to a Tartar next to him.
At this time, the only artillery in his hand was basically destroyed by the White Dragon Army.
And the new fort of the White Dragon Army was built on the basis of the most dangerous fortress of Jiulian Fort, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In addition, the White Dragon Army still has that kind of sharp firearm in their hands, as well as an iron ball that can explode, which makes it difficult for them to overcome it at all.
Ilgen Jue Luo Doro only had these 4,000 people in his hands, and if he really died under this fortress, even if he finally conquered this fortress, I don't know how many people would die.
Once the strength in his hands is seriously lost, let alone recapture Zhenjiang Fort, whether he can block this landing Ming army is a problem.
If this Ming army continued to move north and kill in the hinterland of the Tartars, it would be a great disaster for him to lose the army in his hands.
With the order of Ilgen Kyoro, the Tartars who were attacking in front soon withdrew.
The surviving Tartar soldiers and their subordinates Aha all showed happy expressions, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Newcastle.
They were really frightened by the raindrops of lead bullet just now.
And that kind of thunderball, which is also what they fear the most.
This senseless attack cost Ilgen Jue Luo Doro more than 30 Tartars and more than 140 Ahabs, but he did not even cross the first trench of the New Castle.
"Withdraw!"
Ilgen Jue Luo Doro was also decisive enough, seeing that the new fort on the Nine Chains Fort could not be easily defeated, he simply led his men and horses to retreat.
The inability to defeat this new castle does not affect Ilgenjue Luodoro's arrival in Zhenjiang, but it just needs to take some detours.
Moreover, even this new fort could not be defeated, and Ilgen Jue Luo Doro suddenly had a premonition in his heart, and this time he estimated that it would be difficult to recover Zhenjiang Fort.
If he stormed Zhenjiang Fort, then on the Jiulian Fort next to Zhenjiang Fort, this small group of white dragon soldiers would be the biggest threat to him.
Sure enough, when Ilgen Jue Luo Doro led his men and horses to arrive at Zhenjiang Fort, his face became even more ugly when he looked at the restored Zhenjiang Fort and a towering fortress erected next to it.
"My lord, what shall we do now? Do you want to siege the city? A Tartar next to him asked Ilgen Kyorodoro.
"Fart, let's just order people, you look at the fortress built by the Ming army, and the restored high wall of Zhenjiang Fort, how many people do we have to die before we can kill it?"
Ilgen Jue Luo Doro scolded the Tartar guard next to him.
In Ilgenjue's heart, he already vaguely wanted to give up the idea of recovering Zhenjiang Fort.
At this time, the existence of the 4,000 army in his hands was far more useful than a castle.
Zhenjiang Fort can be noted, but the main force of the 4,000 army must be kept first.
Thundered!
Ilgen Jue Luo Doro led more than 4,000 Tartar cavalry to gallop outside Zhenjiang Fort, and the dust covered the sky, obscuring the vision.
Luo Chao was standing on the wall of Zhenjiang Fort at this time, looking at the large-scale Tartar cavalry galloping outside the city, and his eyes also showed a strong killing intent.
Ilgen Jueluo led people around Zhenjiang City, took a circle, and carefully observed the defense of the white dragon soldiers on the Zhenjiang city wall.
As a result, the observation made Ilgen feel more and more desperate.
At this time, Zhenjiang Fort had already been garrisoned by the White Dragon Army and the city defense army, plus a fortress outside the city, and the two were horns and cooperated with each other.
In this case, there are not many troops in hand, and there is no artillery, and even they don't have too many Aha as cannon fodder.
If you want to capture Zhenjiang Fort, you have to fill it with human lives, under normal circumstances, all Tartar generals don't like this kind of battle, they are good at riding and shooting field battles.
"Withdraw!"
In the end, with more than 4,000 Tartars, the menacing Ilgen Jueluo Doro, after taking a walk outside Zhenjiang Fort, took the initiative to take people away.
Luo Chao stood on the wall of Zhenjiang Fort, looking at the four thousand Tartars in the distance, and he was also a little surprised.
"I wonder who the Tartars are leading the troops this time? It was really decisive to take the initiative to retreat.
In this way, the general's plan to gather and annihilate the main forces in the east of Liaodong under Zhenjiang City will be frustrated. ”
Subsequently, two days later, an army of 10,000 led by Li Zixiao landed on Phi Island.
Then, after leaving 1,000 city defense troops on the island, Li Zixiao led more than 10,000 horses to leave Phi Island and set foot on the land outside the Guan, heading to Zhenjiang Fort.
"General!"
Luo Chao greeted the army led by Li Zixiao outside Zhenjiang Fort and informed him of what happened two days ago.
"It seems that the general who led the Tartar cavalry is also a smart man, and he knows that the gains and losses of Zhenjiang Fort at this time are far less important than the men and horses in his hands.
In this case, let's change the plan a little, calculate the time, Zhou Dazhu and they should also arrive, and prepare to convene a group of generals for a combat meeting. ”
Li Zixiao didn't pay much attention to the situation reported by Luo Chao, he had already formulated several sets of combat plans for this operation.
He can't be sure of everything, and there will always be some smart ones among the enemy's generals, so it's just a matter of changing the plan.
Just when Li Zixiao led his main army to land on the west bank of the Yalu River and occupy Zhenjiang Fort.
The cavalry sent by Ilgen Jue Luo Doro to deliver the letter to Huang Taiji in Jinzhou finally met Huang Taiji after a two-day trek.
At this time, the battle on the Jinzhou front became more and more stale.
Since Hong Chengchou purchased that batch of artillery and guns from Li Zixiao, he finally made his combat more active and bold.
From the beginning of May to the middle of May, Hong Chengchou sent tens of thousands of Ming troops and tens of thousands of Tartars to fight fiercely in the areas of Xingshan and Songshan.
Hong Chengchou relied on the extra artillery and muskets in his hand to set up a set for the Tartars, and successfully defeated an attack by more than 10,000 Tartars.
In that battle, the Ming army led by Hong Chengchou killed and wounded more than 2,000 Tatar cavalry at the cost of less than 3,000 casualties, which was regarded as a great victory by them.
After that battle, Huang Taiji was furious, since the official war with Hong Chengchou for a period of time, the casualties of the Tartar cavalry have not been as many as this battle.
After this battle, the Tartars obviously restrained their former arrogance, and the two sides continued to carry out tentative attacks in the Matsuyama area.
"What? Li Zixiao led his troops to land on Phi Island and has now conquered Zhenjiang Fort! ”
When Huang Taiji received the messenger sent by Ilgen Jue Luo Doro, when he opened the letter and read it, he was also shocked and roared angrily.
Huang Taiji's roar was heard clearly by the surrounding Tartar princes, Belle, and generals, including Dolgon, Zilharang, and others.
"It's Li Zixiao again!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, did Li Zixiao really lead people across the sea, conquer Phi Island, and conquer Zhenjiang?" Prince Zheng Zilharang stood up at this time and asked.
"Well, this is an urgent secret letter from Ilgen Jue Luo Doro, there should be nothing wrong with that."
Huang Taiji had a gloomy face, tried his best to calm down, handed the letter in his hand to Zilharang next to him, and said.
After Zilharan took the letter, he read it, and Duoduo next to him couldn't help but come over to watch.
"Why is there such a little bit of information, in addition to telling us that Li Zixiao led his troops to land on Phi Island and occupy Zhenjiang Fort.
Even the number of men and horses led by Li Zixiao and the equipment situation were not specified. ”
After reading the letter, Dodor frowned and spoke.
"You say? What's going on? ”
After listening to Duoduo's words, Huang Taiji looked at the Tartar who had been sent by Ilgen Jue Luo Doro to deliver the letter, and asked.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ilgen Jue Luo Duoluo gathered his men and horses to rush to Zhenjiang Fort as soon as he received the news of the fall of Zhenjiang Fort.
At that time, Ilgenjue Lodoro had not yet seen the enemy's army, and he did not know the specific situation of the enemy.
Lord Ilgen Jueluo sent a servant to send a letter to the emperor, believing that after Lord Ilgen Jueluo arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, he would find out the specific situation of the enemy army and would send someone over. ”
The Tartar soldier replied earnestly.
"Well, Ilgen Jue Luo Doro is a veteran who followed his father to fight the world back then, and I still believe in his ability."
After listening to the words of this Tartar soldier, Huang Taiji nodded slightly and spoke.
Today's update, there will be a change in the evening, and I wish all book friends a happy Chinese Valentine's Day, no longer a single dog!!
