Chapter 43: The Eight Banners of Mongolia play

Ahead, the newly attached Han army is still charging.

With an unparalleled numerical advantage, they climbed another two hundred ladders.

In the rear, under the leadership of Budazi, a Mongolian Eight Banner Army has quietly begun to set off. This time, the men of the grassland did not ride horses, but they did not give up the other sharp weapon in their hands.

Longbow!

I saw that the two thousand Mongolian Eight Banners army bent their bows and arrows, forming an arrow array and shooting towards the city wall.

In the corner, Chen Weidao was dumbfounded.

Zhou He, who had just surrendered not long ago, felt even more cold: "Big ...... My lord...... This will accidentally injure the charging soldiers! ”

Chen Weidao glanced at Zhou He, but gritted his teeth and said, "Pull the reserve team up for me!" ”

"Do you want to charge more?" Zhou He didn't know why.

Chen Weidao glanced at the more than 1,000 Han soldiers who were still following him, and his face suddenly became extremely hideous: "Those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

……

The unscrupulous diffuse fire suddenly knocked the efforts of the defenders on the city back to the original point, and in the face of the dense rain of arrows, the defenders had to set up one anti-arrow tower after another to resist.

But the arrow tower blocked the arrows, but it couldn't stop the enemy troops who climbed up the ladder. After Chen Weidao's reserve team was transformed into a military law team, these newly attached Han troops suddenly rushed up desperately as if they were crazy.

Although the combat effectiveness of these Han troops rushing up is basically quite weak, no matter how weak they are, they can't stand up the endless cannon fodder that goes to the city.

Soon, Chen De felt that the damage of his subordinates began to increase gradually. In the back, the soldiers in the military hospital kept carrying the wounded soldiers in front, and Chen De gradually felt that the number of enemy troops on the city began to increase more and more.

"No...... No......" Chen De muttered: "You must not be like this bird!" ”

Just when Chen De made up his mind in his heart, suddenly. An old soldier beside Chen De was pleasantly surprised: "Captain! It seems that there is less rain of arrows! ”

"Less?" Chen Deleng paused. Perhaps it was the talent of the famous general's seed that suddenly brought him a ray of inspiration, and Chen De suddenly shouted: "Pro-army guards, assemble with me!" Also, the three men who had prepared a hundred households pulled up, immediately, right now. Pull it up and be on guard! ”

Chen De has a pro-army guard of more than 100 people. These people were basically brought into the army by Chen Yongfu and Chen De after the abolition of the Jiading battalion, and it was a measure used by Zhu Cihong to balance the generals' private soldiers and the official army. Therefore, compared with the officers and soldiers who lacked general training, the pro-army guards far surpassed ordinary officers and soldiers in terms of training level and combat experience. In addition, because of the need to guard the left and right at any time, this guard can be said to be the force that Chen De can send at the first time.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

Countless shouts of killing rang out.

Suddenly, hundreds of cloud ladders came up, and at the head of the city, a soldier suddenly roared angrily: "It's those Mongolian Tartars!" ”

Budazi clearly did not intend to rely on bows and arrows to defeat the battle formation. This time, the Mongol warriors gave up horse warfare. Assemble the team and start charging towards the head of Linqing City.

Accompanied by an increasingly sparse rain of arrows, there was an increasingly dense charge.

This time, compared to the weakened new Han army, the Mongol attack was obviously sharper. These Mongols from the Mobei steppe were accustomed to poverty, grew up in a cruel environment, most of them fierce and wild, and most of them had experience in fighting and killing. Although it was not the horse warfare they were familiar with, the Mongol warriors who climbed to the top of the city rose alone. But it was enough to beat the recruits in the 4th Infantry Battalion, who had only been trained for a few months.

And the firecrackers faced the Mongolian soldiers in close combat at this moment, and they suddenly felt caught off guard. The melee soldiers carrying swords, guns and rolling stones and skulls could not support the sudden increase in the number of strong Mongol soldiers.

Time. At the head of the city, there were two gaps that were broken through by the Mongol warriors.

"Mongolian Tartar, do you think I have no one in the Ming Dynasty?" Chen De roared angrily and led hundreds of pro-army guards to rush forward.

Suddenly, the two gaps were blocked by Chen De leading hundreds of pro-troops.

This pro-army guard is no better than those undertrained soldiers, all of whom have seen blood, whether it is the will to fight, the calmness of the heart, or the killing skills. Are not weak these Mongolian Tatars.

In just an instant, the two loopholes were filled by Chen De.

But the good times were short-lived, and the 2,000 Mongol warriors had already begun to rush up more and more ladders. One, two, three......

More and more breakthrough points began to increase.

The three prepared 100 households who arrived later were sent one after another. It's just that these 500 people are facing the onslaught of 2,000 Mongol warriors, and it is getting more and more difficult.

I just extinguished a breakthrough point, only to find that there is another one.

At this time, no one knew that the situation in the city was extremely critical.

"How can a normal siege battle be fought on the head of the city as soon as it starts?" Yang Wenyue was anxious: "Your Highness......"

"There's no hurry." Zhu Cihong frowned, looked at the Manchu army under the city, and frowned: "The siege vehicle of the Tartars has not moved yet. ”

Yang Wenyue immediately understood: "Manchu Qing ...... Not at all yet! Those Jurchen elite soldiers! ”

"I want to know where they're attacking!" Zhu Cihong muttered, picked up the clairvoyant mirror, and carefully traced the clues on the battlefield.

But obviously, Su Bai, who is also old in war, can not easily spot the horse's feet as Zhu Cihong expected.

And in the city, more and more breakthrough points have appeared.

No matter how hard Chen De tried to plug the shortage, he felt a sense of weakness.

Zhu Cihong observed for a long time, but still did not find the attack of the Jurchen elite soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong could only nod helplessly: "Hu Zichen takes over the left defense, and the red lady is responsible for the right defense." ”

Linqing East City is the old city, and the scope of the city wall is actually much larger than the new city. Because this section of the wall can be said to be almost three-quarters of the circumference of a city. And this, in fact, is also the reason why Chen De's defense is difficult.

Two thousand soldiers and horses are responsible for the defense of a state city, which is too embarrassing.

Finally, with the reinforcement of Hu Zichen and Red Lady, the defense of the city was stabilized at once.

There were 4,000 more people, and it was not easy to climb up the city, and the Mongol Tatars and the newly attached Han army, which had not yet organized their tactics, were driven down one by one.

Soon, as the rolling stones and sassalwoods were constantly brought up, and the torches were dipped in fire oil to ignite the ladders, the offensive under the city suddenly slowed down.

"I found it!" He Tuo pointed to the southeast corner of the old city of Linqing: "Let's attack there!" There was the weak point of the defense of the Ming army! (To be continued.) )
