Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth defeat

There was a hint of sneer on the corner of Song Xiance's mouth, and he waved his right hand. The next second, there was the flame hell under the city.

Torches were thrown down from the city wall, and the flames quickly swallowed the crowd below.

The black tincture oil began to burn violently when it encountered a torch. In addition to burning violently, this kind of tincture oil that had not been purified also brought out rolling black smoke. Many Qing soldiers did not die under the flames, but were smoked alive by the black smoke.

From a distance, the small fire outside the Baiyin City surged into the sky. Under the city, there were the shrill screams of Qing soldiers everywhere.

The power of the fierce tinder is too great, and the front walls are burning. The black smoke soars into the sky. If there is hell in the world, this is hell.

The remaining Qing soldiers were filled with fear and they began to retreat one after another. No one knew how many such terrifying black oil there was in Baiyin City. Such weapons were almost unsolvable for the Qing soldiers.

Huang Taiji in the distance couldn't help but feel frightened after seeing the tragic scene of Baiyin City. He urgently ordered the Qing army to withdraw, Baiyin City repelled the enemy's first attack.

It is not about fighting to the death, nor is it about relying on the strength of the city wall. It is about the magical artifact in their hands, the turbulent oil.

Outside the city, there were burning corpses everywhere. Some war horses ran out of the flames. After running hundreds of meters, the fire-ridden war horses rushed down. The flames continued to burn on its body.

The earth under the city became a scorched earth. The pungent smell of turmeric oil and the smell of burning corpses mixed together. The fire gradually faded, and the Qing army outside the city retreated without a trace.

Since entering Shaanxi, Huang Taiji has never encountered decent resistance. Until he arrived at Baiyin City, he was blocked by the black oil that the Ming army had brought from somewhere.

This frightened Huang Taiji. If there were these things in every city of the Ming army, who could still attack?

At the same time, Huang Taiji's hatred for Song Xiance was added to another level. One day, if he could catch this small general, he would definitely be worse than death.

However, if such talents can be used by me in the Qing Dynasty...

Just as he was thinking, Shuotuo from Zhenghongqi was brought back. Aisin Gioro Shuotuo, the second son of Daishan, the leader of the four major belles. This guy participated in the siege vanguard, but unexpectedly became an unlucky guy.

When the Ming army attacked with fierce tinder oil, Shuotou was almost buried in the fire. If his subordinates had not tried their best to save him, they would have died.

Even so, Shuotou was burned and his body was pitch black. His hair, eyebrows, beard and burnt, and his right arm was injured by an arrow. A feather arrow penetrated his right arm and was not pulled out.

The worst thing is that the one who shot Shuotou was actually the feather arrows used by the Qing soldiers themselves. It was the first round of shooting that shot the feather arrows towards the city wall. As a result, the Ming army archers picked up the feather arrows that the Qing army made and returned the feather arrows they made by the Qing Dynasty.

The unlucky Shuotou was penetrated through his right arm during the attack. His whole body was burned with burns on the outside and tender on the inside, especially his right leg, which was very burned.

As the pioneer this time, Shuotuo originally wanted to make a contribution. As a result, he returned in a defeat. Huang Taiji saw his embarrassing appearance and did not punish him: "Go down, this time the Ming army used black oil and fire attack, it is not your fault. I will pass it on to the military doctor to treat Shuotuo's injuries."

The subordinates took the life and helped Shuo hold him down. Huang Taiji was restless and knew that Prince Rui Dorgon was coming in.

Dorgon bowed: "Your Majesty, I have found out. The Ming army used this time the turbulent oil produced in Shaanxi. This oil is produced from the ground and burns when it encounters fire, which is very fierce. But the emperor is relieved that the oil production is scarce. I think that there may be no more in the Silver City. As long as we launch another attack, we will definitely be able to attack."

Huang Taiji nodded and half-hearted: "What I am worried about is that the Ming army is a bit tricky to use this firearm. Since this thing is rare, there is no tincture oil in their city, so we are not afraid of him. I will pass on my will, and when the city is broken, no one will be left in the city. The silver city I want to kill flows into a river to comfort the spirit of the sacrificed soldiers."

"Your Majesty, when will we attack?" Dorgon asked.

Huang Taiji thought for a while: "Send the orders to rest on the spot. Tomorrow morning, launch a general attack. Dorgon, you Zhengbai Banner will serve as the vanguard."

Dorgon was full of energy and hurriedly bowed: "Zhe!"

In Baiyin City, Song Xiance inspected the city wall, and Yuan Xiaoxiao and others followed. During this attack, many Ming soldiers were injured. Mainly, the archers of the Qing soldiers under the city were too powerful.

"How much hot oil is left?" Song Xiance asked back.

Yuan Xiaoxiao replied: "About 40 or 50 cauldrons."

Song Xiance said "Yes": "Enough, at midnight tonight, you will take people to the southwest corner to feint the attack and break through, and we will retreat from the southeast direction. Remember, don't be in love with the battle. As long as we can create chaos for Jiannu, we just jump out of Leizu Mountain and cross the Yellow River, we will let the sky fly high."

Yuan Xiaoxiao nodded: "I understand that everything will be done according to the plan."

Everything went smoothly. Following Song Xiance, Yuan Xiaoxiao and others felt inexplicably at ease. This feeling was like driving the crown prince before. It seemed that all the movements of the enemy could be controlled by them.

No wonder the prince valued Lord Song so much. This short and unpretentious Song Xiance is also a feather-shaped fan-shaped figure.

To this day, Jiannu's attack has been exactly the same as Lord Song's plan in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be the hope of the soldiers in the city's escape.

Huang Taiji was eager to capture Baiyin City, but he never expected that the Ming army in the city would break through at this moment. Moreover, the Ming army was good at night fighting, so their cavalry abilities would be greatly reduced at night.

When Yuan Xiaoxiao and his friends were in their hands, the few cavalry attacked in the southwest, Huang Taiji mistakenly thought that the Ming army in the city wanted to break through from the southwest. In fact, Song Xiance took his main force to retreat from the southeast.

The terrain in the southeast is steep, with high mountains and dense forests that are not suitable for the pursuit of the Qing cavalry. The steep mountain road will definitely make Huang Taiji give up the plan of chasing. What Huang Taiji wants is nothing more than Baiyin City. As for the local Ming army armed forces in the city with low combat effectiveness, I think he would not take it seriously.

In fact, when Huang Taiji hit Baiyin City, he just put his main force in the northwest and northeast directions. He did not choose to siege the city. Instead, he deliberately left a gap and let the Ming army escape.

Because if it is surrounded, the Ming army in the city will inevitably resist to the death. At that time, it will be very difficult to attack the city. Leave a way out for the enemy, which will make it easier to disintegrate the enemy's will.
