Chapter 483
To be fair, the heavy casualties did not make the Jiannu army retreat. They obviously endured the casualties and climbed the city wall, but the soldiers of the Liu family threw grenade bombs under the city. The explosion of grenade bombs could not only kill or injure Jiannu, but also smash the ladders.
What made Huang Taiji feel a little more at ease was that the cannon that could kill dozens or hundreds of people in one shot never sounded again, but the lethality of the grenade bomb was too great.
Finally, the soldiers who participated in the attack began to retreat.
When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he was furious: "The fugitive died! The chaotic army formation died!"
With Huang Taiji's roar like a beast, the two elite yellow flags beside him shot towards the defeated soldiers with bows and arrows, and as the sharp arrows roared through the air, it was particularly thrilling.
The defeated soldiers hesitated to stop under the threat of death, but the thousands of Later Jin cavalry archers beside Huang Taiji would shoot them into hedgehogs in minutes!
After more than three hours of battle, there were as many as seven or eight thousand Hou Jin soldiers who were killed and injured in Guangning Acropolis.
However, Huang Taiji had no choice. In this battle, Tu and Jin dispatched more than 80% of the elite troops, which could be said to be betting all the treasures on the edge of the broken side and looting them. If he could not defeat Guangning City and grabbed enough spoils, his Khan would be ruined.
If the young and strong people in the Eight Banners were too many casualties, the surrounding tribes would pounce on them like wolves and bite them hard, taking away the plump grassland from them. By then, the Jurchens would be as dead as they had been more than 300 years ago!
He stood on the mound, and looked at his soldiers rushing towards Guangning City with a serious expression, and then was ruthlessly torn and swallowed by Guangning City, which was transformed into a giant beast.
After finally getting ladders up, they were soon blown up by the grenades of the Liu family army. They slapped the soldiers who were crawling up with scimitars and the people on the ground to the ground. Some of the most brave soldiers jumped onto the city with all their might, put their battle flags on them, and were immediately thrown down with the flags, and fell to the ground to turn into a ball of meat pie.
The shells kept flying over their heads or under their feet and exploded. The terrifying roar made all the sounds on the prairie pale in comparison.
It was the roar of the god of death. After each loud bang, dozens or hundreds of warriors fell in pools of blood, without dead bodies. The terrifying explosion mixed with the screams and roars of thousands of troops. It was extremely terrifying. If anyone stayed in this flesh-and-blood battlefield for a minute, no, even for a second, he would have to have a nightmare for at least a month!
Abatai knelt in front of Huang Taiji and hugged his thighs: "King Khan, you can't fight any longer. The Liu family army is too strong. No matter how hard it attacks, it can't be attacked. The warriors were killed or injured too much!"
Huang Taiji was anxious: "Are there few people who died in the two yellow flags?"
Seeing Huang Taiji showing a cannibalistic expression, the leaders of other Mongolian tribes dared not speak anymore. Huang Taiji has always been a cruel person.
What's more, in Huang Taiji's eyes, the Mongols were not considered human at all, that is, they were slightly stronger than their Aha. Of course, this was the Mongols' own thoughts.
In the national strategy of the Later Jin Dynasty, it was to win over the Mongols and the Sorens and suppress the Ming people. Even those Han artillery that he attached more importance to were also slaves.
Because they adopted slavery, Huang Taiji knew better that if the Jin Dynasty was defeated, just like his father Nurhaci back then, he would bow down to the Ming Dynasty and become a slave and a servant. Among the seven major hatreds of Nurhaci, Li Chengliang led his troops to slaughter the Gule Mountain City.
Some people later said that it was Li Chengliang who supported Nurhaci, which made the Jurchens become older.
In fact, the fault was not Li Chengliang's will; it was the infighting within the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, which drove away Li Chengliang who could suppress Nurhaci, but could not find a capable person who could be competent for Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang's eight thousand soldiers, let alone Nurhaci's thirteen armored pairs of armor, even if he gave him one thousand armor, would he try to talk to Li Chengliang's servants?
Of course, Huang Taiji's current idea was that his self-confidence, which he had finally risen, was slapped in the mud by Liu Mingyu and his Liu family army.
What is the difference between the Eight Banners Warriors and eggs in front of the Liu family army?
Under Huang Taiji's forced to take charge of the Eight Banners, the elite troops of the Eight Banners acted as the supervisory team, forcing the Han army and the Mongolian army to accumulate their attacks. Unconsciously, the bodies were stacked layer by layer, forming a gentle slope.
Looking at the gentle slope made of flesh and blood, Huang Taiji felt very nervous. He hurriedly turned his eyes away from the battlefield and turned to the horizon.
In the sky, the sunset is like blood, dull, cold, without a trace of warmth.
Isn’t the fate of the Later Jin Dynasty just like this dull sunset, with dusk so that people can’t see a glimmer of hope?
It seemed that I couldn't bear to see more killings. The sun sank into the horizon, the curtains were mixed and the sky was dark, which meant that this terrible day was about to pass.
Huang Taiji dared not stop, because he was afraid that the army in the city would take advantage of the opportunity of night to rest, and also afraid that the Liu family army could get supplementary supplies.
At this time, Zheng Huanxi had no longer had the calmness he had at the beginning. The grenade bombs they equipped were almost exhausted, and there were still some gunpowder bags, but the number was not large.
Whether it is a crossbowman or a commoner who is cooperating with the fight, he is so tired that he can't even lift his arms.
Even Zheng Huanxi himself, since noon, has not received a chance to breathe for nearly two hours.
As the saying goes, when the roof is leaking, it rains all night, and when the boat is late, it encounters the wind at the beginning.
What made Zheng Huanxi cry without tears was that there were bursts of cheers from the Later Jin Formation.
Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, Zheng Huanxi could vaguely see a huge convoy appeared behind the Later Jin army. This convoy was Huang Taiji's greatest confidence, with more than 100 red cannons of 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms of red barbarian cannons.
In order to get these heavy guys to the front line as soon as possible, Huang Taiji was exhausted to death by hundreds of war horses and plowing oxen, and finally arrived.
Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "Transfer the order of Ben Khan, fight at night!"
These artillery began to build artillery firing positions outside Guangning City.
Yang Sixing next to Zheng Huanxi was so scared that his face was filled with cold sweat.
"Mr. Zheng, what should I do now?"
"Hmph, hum..."
Zheng Huanxi ate canned beef while taking a sip of wine to restore his energy. His voice was vague: "What else can I do? Try hard, Lord Yang, please organize the people in the city. For those who are fifteen years old, not fourteen years old or under fifty years old, all men and women should immediately get on the defense!"
After this fierce battle, the Later Jin army suffered heavy casualties, but the Liu family army was not easy. The current Liu family soldiers' tiger mouths and shoulders were sore and painful, and they had no strength.
As for those crossbow operators, although the people are equipped with arrows, they only need to pull the machine to capture their lives. The problem is that they also need to shoot directly. In this fierce battle against ten, the crossbow operators suffered more than 400 casualties.
Among them, the Guangning Garrison had a total of more than 1,200 people, and now there are more than 770 wounded people, and two-thirds of the casualties have been received. At this time, there were less than 500 tired soldiers who could fight again. However, they caused nearly 7,800 people to be killed in the Later Jin army, and more than 4,000 people were killed in battle.
The exchange rate of about one to twenty-two made Huang Taiji feel like a knife.
In order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, Zheng Huanxi could only order those people who had little combat experience to come to the city wall to help. The injured soldiers and the people quickly lifted the city wall to treat them. The reserve gold juice quickly moved it to the city wall, artillery shells, gunpowder packs, and stock grenade shells.
Yang Sixing looked at Jiannu who had no intention of retreating. They had already begun to build wood for equipment such as cloud ladders, shields, and poured sulfur or tung oil on it and began to ignite it.
Most herders on the grassland have night blindness, and fighting night battles is not a good idea. However, night blindness has a great impact on the marching, but torches and braziers have been raised on the city wall, and the bonfires below the city wall are now as bright as daytime. "Kill!"
Yang Sixing looked at the city wall, and there were thousands of Hou Jin soldiers lined up in an attacking formation, ready to attack at any time. He was a little panicked: "Master Zheng, Jiannu reinforcements are coming, and the momentum is getting stronger. How long can we defend?"
Zheng Huanxi said viciously: "No matter how many people come, it's useless. Guangning City is a tomb that cannot be filled. If they feel that their troops are enough, just fill it in!"
The murderous tone made Yang Sixing fight coldly. The murderous auras of Qiu Ba who had just fought are really extraordinary, and they all look like evil gods!
However, with such a group of murderous guys, Yang Sixing felt very safe. These evil stars were not ordinary ruthless when they killed Jiannu!
Yang Sixing knew that there were layers of trees under the city wall, and I don’t know how many Jiannu died. Not to mention promoting Zheng Huanxi, it would be enough to be awarded a title.
Zheng Huanxi smiled faintly and said, "It looks a bit like that. Jiannu rushed to the scene hard enough, fierce enough, and delicious enough!"
Under the city...
Huang Taiji looked at all this silently, and he pursed his lips and said nothing, but the hatred became deeper and deeper. At this point, the war was no longer a question of how much things could be grabbed by Guangning City. Even if it was just for the inheritance of the Jurchens and the pride of the Jurchens, they had to take Guangning City.
Otherwise, no one will be afraid of them in their borders! For these ethnic groups who are used to the precepts of the weak, losing their deterrence is equivalent to the end of the world!
This is a difficult walnut, but it has to be chewed even if it is difficult to chew. Even if you break a few teeth, you have to bite it and swallow it with the blood of the broken teeth!
"Come here, I will give the order of King Khan. I will give you an extra meal at night. Each person will give you two pounds of meat and eat in batches. I cannot give Minggou a chance to breathe!" Huang Taiji said slowly with a gloomy face: "Break through Guangning City and will not seal the knife for ten days!"
"Transfer the Khan's order to break through Guangning City and not seal the sword for ten days!"
Chapter completed!
