When the Houjin Baoyi were forced to build the earthen fortress with earthen frames and earthen bags, those Baoyi who were killed by the rifles of the Huaxia Army also became part of the earthen fortress by the way.

In the middle of the layers of earthen frames and earthen bags, the corpses of the coats are interspersed, revealing their heads, hands and feet from the side from time to time, making the current battlefield as breathtaking as a horror movie.

As time passed, more and more Mongols appeared in the area of the barrage, and under the supervision of the elite Bayalas, they carefully stepped on the corpses of the clothed people, using the shallow ditches in the barrage as a cover, and launched a confrontation with bows and arrows and the Chinese army on the earthen wall.

After narrowing the distance between friend and foe, the accuracy of the bow and arrow of the Houjin army's clothes has greatly increased.

The soft bows used by these Mongols were completely unable to penetrate the bulletproof steel plates inserted in the vests of the Chinese army. However, the faces of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were not protected, and at this distance, if they were shot by the enemy, they would still be killed.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army relied on the cover of the breastwork and still had the upper hand. The high rate of fire of the bow and arrow had little room for use in front of the breastwork, and they could only rely on the archery skills of these Mongols themselves to shoot against the Huaxia army.

The grenades and fire oil bottles of the Huaxia Army were also constantly flying out of the position, and the corpses of the Houjin Army piled up in front of the front line were all over the place, and the screams of the Houjin Army in the barrage ditch rang out one after another.

The most important thing is that behind the breastwork of the Huaxia Army, there is a high rammed earth wall, and on top of it, there are soldiers of the Huaxia Army shooting under the orders of the high-ranking soldiers.

The Mongols suffered heavy losses in a short period of time under the greeting of rifles and grenades on the upper and lower floors of the Huaxia army.

However, the Houjin army also bought time, and the earthen fortress they urged the Baoyi to build was finally slowly increasing, and after a while, the armor soldiers of the Houjin Jurchen clan began to arrive at the back of the earthen fortress.

The most tenacious part of these Houjin multiple forces, using primitive fire and thunder and strong bows, created a threat to the Huaxia army.

Among them, the biggest threat to the Huaxia Army is still the fire and thunder, the two sides are throwing explosives at each other from such a short distance, and the losses of both sides are slowly increasing.

······

A huge explosion suddenly sounded at a distance of about 50 meters, and a section of the masonry wrapped outside the city wall shattered into countless small pieces, crackling and hitting the surrounding city walls, among which there were small pieces of masonry fragments, and even splashed dozens of meters away.

The guards of the guard flag team quickly raised the shields in their hands and formed a circle around Chen Xin's body.

The sound of the cannonballs tearing the air still lingered in his ears, but Chen Xin looked like the shelling did not happen beside him, not only did he not pay attention to the flying fragments, but he did not even have the slightest sign of trembling in his hands, and was still holding a telescope to carefully observe the front line.

"Your Majesty!" Chief of Staff Liu ran over from afar, and when he arrived at Chen Xin's side, he said in an anxious low voice: "The minister, please consider the country and the country, and take refuge below for a while." ”

Chen Xin still didn't put down what he was holding, but responded coldly, "Take care of what you should do." The red-clothed cannon of the Tartars can't hit me. ”

Chief of Staff Liu still persuaded, "Your Excellency, don't be willful, there are three large-caliber smoothbore cannons aimed at this section of the city wall on the Tartar side, they must have seen the royal flag raised by the king, and the minister asked the king to withdraw to the city wall as soon as possible." ”

Chen Xin silently put down the binoculars, let his eyes rest, and then turned his head to look at Chief of Staff Liu and said: "You are among the best in all the departments of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, but I have never let you be in charge of the first brigade, but have placed you in the position of brigade chief of staff for two years, and you need to go to the battlefield to exercise your will and make him more determined." ”

"The Huaxia Army needs your will to lead." Chief of Staff Liu was determined to persuade Chen Xin to go down the city wall this time, and he had no intention of retreating: "The minister asks the king to go up to the back front to preside over the overall situation, for the sake of the whole army, but also for the sake of the kingdom."

Besides, the Qing Shu ministers are courageous, and the king is on the city wall, and his subordinates really have no way to concentrate on commanding and dispatching. ”

The voices of the two men were unconsciously low, and two steps away were drowned out in the cacophony of a noisy explosion around them, and everyone around them did not notice the conversation between the two men.

Chen Xin stared at the other party for a long time, Chief of Staff Liu just lowered his head slightly, although he did not continue to speak, his attitude was very resolute, and his intention was also very obvious.

During the short confrontation between the two men, two more spherical shells flew over, one shot high over the city and smashed into the back, and the other hit the city wall 30 meters away.

The city wall shook slightly, and the surrounding guards of the Flag Guard looked very nervous, because they knew that in the face of the cannonball, even if any of them were willing to sacrifice their lives for Chen Xin, it was useless, and the cannonball could not be blocked by desperate efforts.

At this time, Chen Xin suddenly laughed without warning, he nodded lightly and said: "Daring to express the true thoughts in your heart is also a kind of courage, you have exercised well during this time."

However, my idea is that it is absolutely safe to fight a war without that place, and now that the battlefield is full of gunsmoke, the Houjin army on the opposite side will soon become unable to aim.

Moreover, as long as I attract the attention of those large-caliber smoothbore guns here, our artillery can safely and boldly bombard the enemy and maximize our artillery..."

Chief of Staff Liu was anxious, and finally couldn't wait for Chen Xin to finish speaking, so he interrupted Chen Xin's words very rudely, and his tone was extremely firm: "Please forgive me, please ask you to go up and down the city tower, because the safety of the king is far more important than Lushun."

The Houjin army suddenly moved the red-coated cannons in their hands forward, and the city walls of our army were no longer safe.

The minister dared to say an unlucky word, if the king had any mistakes, Dolgon's side would not win and win, it would be very harmful to our overall situation in China.

Please believe in the ability of the minister, and the minister will promise to hold the defense line steadily, not to give the Houjin army a chance, and take the opportunity to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops.

As long as the king is safe, then even if our Lushun side loses, it will be a victory, and the Tartars are now showing a decline under the siege of the kingdom, and there is no need for the king to take such a useless risk. ”
