Chapter 650 Blood flows...

Grape bombs flew through the sky and landed in the middle of the Tartars like raindrops. The forward Tartars fell one after another, rolling on the ground like rolling gourds, constantly rolling on the ground, creating various movements. Most Tartars ran very fast. This means that after they fell, they had to roll forward inertia. After some Tartars fell, they tripped over the Tartars behind, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

After the Tartars fell, all the weapons, equipment, and all kinds of debris were rolled to the ground. It would be fine if other things were fine, but the arrowheads were very dangerous. If you were not careful, those sharp arrowheads would stab the people behind. Especially when you fell down accidentally, you would be stabbed by the arrowheads. It would definitely be a bad fortune. Many Tartars did not die under the guns of the Tiger Army, but died under the arrowheads of their companions.

Huang Taiji's original arrangement was very organized. The first one to go up were the infantry of the Han army flag and the Korean minion army. Their main task was to send siege weapons to the city of Dongjiabao. Behind them were densely packed with indigenous infantry. They were the main force in siege. Once the ladder was set up, they would quickly climb up.

Behind the indigenous infantry are the cavalry of the Eight Banners. Their main task is to find opportunities to lay cold arrows at the Hu Ben Army on the top of the city, and to curb the Hu Ben Army on the top of the city as much as possible, so that they cannot shoot steadily. Behind the Eight Banners Cavalry is Huang Taiji's own personal vanguard battalion. The task of the vanguard battalion, like other cavalry, is to take the time to shoot cold arrows and weaken the defensive power of the Hu Ben Army as much as possible.

Such a hierarchical configuration was studied by Huang Taiji himself. In the long-term military operations of fighting with the Ming army, Huang Taiji paid great attention to summarizing experience and improving the combat strength of the Jin army. The number of people in the Jin army itself is really small, and we must pay attention to strategies and tactics as much as possible to effectively eliminate the enemy and preserve ourselves. In strategic and tactics, the configuration of attack formation is a very important part.

There were only two people in the entire Great Jin Kingdom who noticed this. One was Huang Taiji, and the other was his opponent Dorgon. In addition to paying attention to the various strategies in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they were also very interested in the configuration of various military formations. It is undeniable that Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a large fictitious component, but in some details, it is very useful for the Great Jin army. Because, when it comes to military tactics, the Great Jin army, which was born in the mountains, was the opponent of the Han army?

Huang Taiji made careful arrangements for today's attack and prepared to take down Dongjiabao in one go. The offensive formation he set up was very targeted. As long as all troops can complete their tasks smoothly, there is no problem in winning Dongjiabao.

However, as the battle unfolded, with the continuous firing of the Hu Ben Army cannons and the continuous drop of grape bombs, the Tartars' offensive formations appeared in serious chaos. The Han army flag and the Korean minion army in front carried ladders and marched very slowly. In fact, they still had a very serious war-weariness procedure. Faced with the crazy guns and cannons of the Hu Ben Army, they were all subconsciously trying to avoid the battle. Because, if they arrived under the walls of Dongjiabao, they would definitely be blown to pieces by the Hu Ben Army's explosive pack. Who would be willing to go up and die in a hurry? Of course, they could be dragged for a while.

The indigenous infantry behind were moving very fast. They were different from the Han army flag and the Korean minions in front. They were stimulated by Huang Taiji and their desire to fight was very strong. Many of them hoped to become the new masters of the Fuyu Guard. Therefore, despite the crazy guns and cannons of the Hu Ben Army, they rushed up fearlessly, and the speed of rushing up was very fast. The huge Fuyu Guard could indeed make many people feel excited and completely forget what was happening around them.

The cavalry behind them can move faster. At this time, they can still sit upright on the horse and do not need to dismount as if they are used by infantry. They are all elite among cavalry. Whether it is riding or riding and shooting skills, they are all first-class. With the assistance of war horses, their advance speed is naturally much faster than that of infantry.

In the end, the three groups of people gathered together and became a situation where you have me and I have you. Once a grape bullet falls, it is often the cavalry, infantry, Han army flag, and Korean minions all fell down, and the scene is very spectacular.

Huang Taiji had indeed invested enough capital for this battle. He even took out the rich Fuyu Guard, and the Tartars below could not help but fight to the death. In fact, no matter whether the Tartars fought desperately or not, it would be difficult to escape this battle. Since they could not escape, they had to sacrifice their best fate. Therefore, most Tartars chose to rush forward desperately and try to approach the walls of Dongjiabao.

In this way, infantry, cavalry, and siege weapons were all mixed together. The Hu Ben Army's grape bombs were shot down, and large areas of Tartars fell. Because the Tartars were too dense, each time the grape bombs fell, it would cause a large number of casualties. The corpses of the personnel were just stepped on by the ferocious horse's hooves and quickly disappeared. The corpses of the war horses, the ladders, became deadly obstacles on the battlefield.

The more these things fall, the more obstacles there will be on the road. The sharp arrowheads that keep falling, and even sharp scimitars, seriously hinder the advancement speed of the Tatars' follow-up troops. The closer they get to the walls of Dongjiabao, the slower the advancement speed of the Tatars' follow-up troops. The slower the advancement speed means that they will be exposed to the cannons of the Tiger Army. The longer they are exposed, the greater the possibility of being shot by grape bombs.

At this time, the guns and cannons of the Hu Ben Army had already been completely crazy. All the soldiers were numb and crazy pouring shells or Minnie bombs into the middle of the Tartar team. The city of Dongjiabao was already covered with thick white mist, which were all white smoke produced after the fire of the muskets. Even if the north wind blows, the rich white mist cannot dissipate.

Huang Taiji's face turned pale and subconsciously clenched his fists. The current battle situation made him feel very nervous, and his heart was completely suspended in his throat. Damn, the defense of the Hu Ben Army was still too strong. Every step forward in the Great Jin Army had to pay a heavy price. From the Qianli Mile Mile, he could clearly see that the warriors of the Great Jin Army were simply knocked down one by one, and the casualties were too heavy.

However, at this critical moment, he could not order the withdrawal of troops. If he ordered the withdrawal, then from now on, the Great Jin Kingdom and the Great Jin Army would not even want to raise their heads in front of the Hu Ben Army. The Great Jin Army could be defeated or killed in battle, but he could not escape cowardly! Once he escaped, not only the Tiger Ben Army would be arrogant from now on, but even the Koreans and Mongolians would turn against the Great Jin Army. Such consequences were absolutely unwilling to see Huang Taiji.

attack!

Must attack!

For the dignity of the Great Jin Kingdom, we must attack!

No matter how many people were killed in battle, Dongjiabao must be taken down!

"All army assault!"

"Step the Dongjiabao!"

Huang Taiji pulled out the supreme golden waist knife of the Great Jin Kingdom, pointed hard at the direction of Dongjiabao, and shouted loudly. Then, he ordered his golden banner to erect and cheer for the Great Jin army.

The golden flag was raised to cheer for the soldiers on the front line. In the history of the Great Jin Kingdom, there was only one time. At the most critical moment of the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhaci ordered his own sweat flag to be raised. Every soldier of the Great Jin army knew the meaning of raising the sweat flag, that was to die and advance without retreat!

"Run!"

"Step the Dongjiabao!"

The Tartars following behind were immediately boiling.

Huang Taiji sacrificed the golden waist knife and raised the golden banner, which meant that Huang Taiji had already made all the sacrifices. Huang Taiji had made all the sacrifices, that would mean that the entire Jin Kingdom would have made all the sacrifices. If he did not step on the Dongjiabao, the Jin Kingdom would never withdraw his troops! At this moment, even Ajige, who was not very opposite to Huang Taiji, felt excited. With a swish, he also pulled out his golden waist knife and rushed towards Dongjiabao.

Haoge was also full of passion and wanted to go on the battlefield personally, but was ordered by Huang Taiji to hold his own soldiers tightly. Haoge struggled for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't break free, so he had to retreat in disappointment. Huang Taiji could send many people to death, but he could not let Haoge go. Haoge's personality was not suitable for such a fierce battlefield. Faced with such a fierce battle situation, the only one who could control the situation was Ajige.

Sure enough, after Ajige arrived at the front line, he naturally took over the command of the front line. He waved his golden waist knife and shouted loudly, asking the soldiers of the Jin army to rush forward desperately. Ajige knew very well about Huang Taiji's thoughts. No matter how much the price he paid, the Jin army would step on the Dongjiabao. Inspired by Ajige, all the Tartars in front seemed to have completely forgotten the dangers of the battlefield and kept running towards the front.

Large pieces of grape bomb fell in the middle of the Tartars, constantly knocking the Tartars to the ground, but they could not stop their progress at all. The Tartars seemed to have completely lost consciousness, knew the danger, the pain, and the retreat. The only thing they knew was to rush forward without fear of death. Stripping the Dongjiabao was their only belief!

There were corpses everywhere, blood flowing everywhere, and chaotic debris everywhere... However, all of this was soon overwhelmed by the Tartars rushing up behind. The black Tartars kept surging up, like a surging black torrent, covering up all the fields around Dongjiabao. The white snow was invisible, and the dark red soil was invisible. The only thing that could be seen was the black head and the black Tartars.

"one……"

"two……"

"Three..."

On the head of Dongjiabao, Zhang Zhun was actually thoughtful and carefully counted the enemy flags he saw. The more intense the battle was, the clearer and calmer his mind was. Because before the Tartars launched an attack, everything he had to do was done. At this time, the only thing he had to wait for was God's ruling.

The Tartars' Zhenghuang Banner, the Inlaid Yellow Banner, the Zhenghong Banner, the Inlaid Red Banner, the Zhenglan Banner, and the Inlaid Blue Banner were all there. The only ones absent were the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. In addition, there were the Mongolians, the Han Army Banner, and the Korean Servant Army. The Mongolians also had many banners, at least a dozen of them. This means that at least a dozen Mongolian tribes participated in the attack.

The grape bomb fell in the middle of the Tartars, and it only stirred up waves, and then it was quickly submerged, and there was no sight at all. It felt like the water was flowing even more. Someone fell down, and the people behind him immediately drowned him. Someone kept falling down, and some people kept pouring up. It was like waves that were constantly rolling over, swallowing everything on the road ahead.

It's spectacular, it's really spectacular. Zhang Zhun once saw such a dense stormtrooper in "The Great Decisive Battle? The Battle of Huaihai". He always felt that it was a special effect that was created for the needs of making movies. In real battles, it was impossible to have such a dense formation. But now, Zhang Zhun believes that in human history, there is really a sea of ​​people tactic.

What is even more amazing is that this human sea tactic was initiated by the Tartars. The Tartars' population resources were insufficient and they always cherished their manpower very much. Now they have launched the human sea tactic, which shows how determined they are to win. Well, it seems that they have indeed made the Tartars angry in the past days. It is normal for the Tartars to cut off their skin and bones. However, after this battle, no matter whether the Tartars win or not, they will definitely be seriously damaged.

"Sir, are the Tartars... crazy?"

Yang Qiufeng stood beside Zhang Zhun and said to himself.

The battle has been fully launched and they are ready together. The two staff officers have nothing to do. They don’t know how to operate the Hu Ben gun, so they simply stand with Zhang Zhun and study the situation on the entire battlefield.

For them, such a battle scene was really shocking. At the beginning, their faces were tense and they didn't say a word. Faced with the crazy impact of the Tartars, their hearts were all raised to their throats. Until now, they felt that their nerves began to slowly recover. Even so, they felt that they had to keep talking to relieve the tension in their hearts.

From the position they stood, no matter which angle they saw, they were all Tartars. Either Tartar infantry or Tartar cavalry, they could see a large number of ladders moving forward. The black crowd was like black sea water, desperately rolling towards Dongjiabao. The guns and cannons of the Tiger Army were shooting wildly, but they could not stop the approaching of the black wave.

"The Tartars are not crazy."

"They just want to take down Dongjiabao."

"In order to catch the governor, Huang Taiji really took the initiative this time."

Another adviser, Ye Longxin, said calmly.

He tried to calm his tone, but in fact he was still very nervous inside. It was the first time he saw such a spectacular battle scene. If you don’t say it’s nervous, it’s fake. The opponent of the Hu Ben Army is not others, but the most brutal Tartars. As long as the Ming people are from the Ming Dynasty, they are very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Tartars. Now, the Tartars are crazy and want to die with the Hu Ben Army. In front of them, there is only a three-meter-high city wall. Can they not feel nervous?

He held up a thousand-mile mirror and kept swaying back and forth from a large angle to observe the situation of the entire battlefield. In fact, the battle had already been launched in all the defense areas of the Hu Ben Army. Whether it was Dongjiabao, the Central Military Camp behind, or the Caojiabao and Liujiabao further away, they were surrounded by the Tartars. It was absolutely impossible to rely on other places to send troops to support Dongjiabao. Dongjiabao must rely on its existing strength to stick to it. Otherwise, everyone here would be ruined, including Zhang Zhun.

From Dongjiabao, it can be seen that the surrounding area is completely the world of the Tartars, the ocean of the Tartars. Outside, there are Mongolian cavalry and Jianlu cavalry, constantly wandering. From time to time, they will suddenly rush up and shoot fierce arrowheads on the top of the city. Their arrowheads are too fierce and too fatal. If the Hu Ben Army on the top of the city is accidentally caught off guard, they will be shot to death.

Among the cavalry, there are a large number of Tartar infantry. In order to attack the city, a large number of Tartar cavalry gave up their war horses and turned into pure infantry. However, don’t doubt their infantry combat capabilities. The Tartars’ infantry combat capabilities have always been very strong. If the Hu Ben Army is approached by them and forced to fight in hand-to-hand combat, relying solely on the bayonet on the Hu Ben gun is not enough to see.

It is not that it underestimates the Hu Ben Army itself. It is really weapons and equipment, and its training characteristics determine that the current Hu Ben Army does not have the ability to fight face-to-face with the Tartars. The Hu Ben Army has always pursued long-distance killing enemies and avoid fighting with the Tartars as much as possible. The Hu Ben Gun's bayonet is just to deal with it, and it is definitely not to fight with the Tartars. The hand-to-hand weapons used by the Tatars are heavy weapons such as axes, hammers, machetes, spears, machetes, and maces. Compared with them, the bayonets of the Hu Ben Gun are as fragile as noodles.

The surrounding walls of Dongjiabao were all of the Tartars, and they could not even see a piece of open space. Standing on the top of the city, you can see that in the direction of the Central Military Camp, there were also wars that were everywhere. The Central Military Camp was also surrounded by a large number of Tartars, but it was not clear that there were many Tartars besieging the Central Military Camp, and I think there were definitely not a small number.

"The Tartars dispatched at least 30,000 troops..."

Ye Longxin observed carefully and said with a heavy opinion.

"More than 30,000, at least 50,000."

Yang Qiufeng said affirmatively.

He also held a thousand-mile mirror and scanned the entire battlefield from a large angle. The grape bomb killed many Tartars, and there were more Tartars following behind, and there were no casualties at all. The most conservative estimate was that so far, the casualties of Tartars had exceeded 3,000. However, the absolute number of Tartars was too large. The casualties of 3,000 were negligible.

Just like a torrent, the Tartars soon arrived under the walls of Dongjiabao. The surging flood could not be stopped by anything. The only thing that could block the crazy flood was a solid dam. The walls of Dongjiabao were the solid dams. The fierce torrent suddenly stirred up high waves when encountering a solid dam. All the sounds reached their climax at this moment.

"Explosive pack!"

"Explosive pack!"

"Explosive pack!"

Without any hesitation, Yang Zixuan screamed.

There are too many Tartars, and it is impossible to solve the problem with the Tiger Gun. Only explosive packs can stop the crazy Tartars. One by one, the ignited explosive packs were quickly thrown.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A loud noise continued to resound throughout the battlefield.

In the light of fire, the densely packed Tartars fell down in pieces. Under the walls of Dongjiabao, the corpses of Tartars were once again piled up. The ladders were also blown up in pieces, and fragments were flying everywhere. Even so, many Tartars continued to climb up the ladder. The ladders were blown off and they were thrown down again. However, soon, more ladders were raised and more Tartars were climbed up.

Countless ladders were blown off, countless ladders were set up, countless Tartars fell off the ladder, and countless Tartars continued to climb up the ladder. This is the real situation of war. Individuals are completely negligible in such a whirlpool. Whether it is the Tartars or the Hu Ben Army, this is the case. What Zhang Zhun and Huang Taiji need are the overall effect, and individual survival and death have long been ignored.

For both sides participating in the war, it is the most normal to die. It doesn’t matter how many people die, as long as the goal is achieved. Therefore, the soldiers on both sides must grit their teeth and destroy each other. The people in front are killed, and the people in the back are immediately taken over until they are beaten to death. The walls of Dongjiabao were soon dyed dark red. In some places, there is even sticky blood, which slowly flows down from above.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Swoosh swish swish!"

Behind the Tartars, the Tartars in the vanguard camp kept firing arrows, trying to curb the Tiger Army that was fighting back on the city wall. One by one, one arrow shot fiercely at the city wall, constantly taking away lives.

These Tartars are all elites of the Great Jin army, proficient in cavalry and shooting. The arrowheads are powerful and have a long range. Some vanguard battalions can even shoot arrowheads thirty or forty feet away, and can accurately hit the target. It has to be admitted that the Tartars in the vanguard battalion have caused great casualties to the Hu Ben Army. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army are constantly being shot in arrows, and then lying in the middle of the battlements, and will never move again. The Hu Ben gun in their hands also fell to the bottom of the castle.

What is most worrying is that there are soldiers from the Hu Ben Army who just ignited the explosive bag, but were shot by an arrow. The explosive bag in their hands fell on the top of the city and among their own people. Some Hu Ben Army soldiers quickly picked up their eyes and threw them out. However, some explosive bags did not have time to clean up, and exploded on the top of the city and among the Hu Ben Army themselves.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, the entire city was empty.

All the Hu Ben Army around were flattened by their explosive bags. The explosion range was covered with blood, which was terrible. The explosive bags were too powerful. Whether they fell into the Tartars or exploded in the Hu Ben Army's own team, the killing effect was the same.

Fortunately, the Hu Ben Army was fully equipped for this. Once such an accidental explosion occurred, the new force behind him would immediately replenish it to fill the gap left by the explosion. Of course, the Tartars came up from the ladder could not have been as fast as the Tiger Army's reaction speed. When the Tartars climbed up madly, they found that there was a black muzzle in front of them again.

In order to deal with the Tartars that had climbed up close, many Tiger Ben soldiers were equipped with a large number of Hawkeye guns. As long as the Tartars came up, they would aim at their heads at close range with one shot. At such a short distance, the Tartars' heads were immediately opened. With a shot, the Tartars often screamed and fell directly from the ladder.

Under the walls of Dongjiabao, there were densely packed with Tartars who were beaten to death. On the head of Dongjiabao, there were also a large number of casualties. The wounded soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were placed behind the wall and there was no time to carry them. In such a fierce battle, neither side had manpower and no time to clean up the wounded.

Yes, this is war.

At this moment, Zhang Zhun could not have the slightest heart.

He could clearly see that the wounded Tiger Army soldiers were moaning in pain on the ground. Perhaps, he should free up people to send them down as soon as possible. Perhaps, he would have tried half an hour to send them to the Suijun Doctor as soon as possible, and he would be able to survive. However, Zhang Zhun could not do it.

Now, everyone in Dongjiabao has been engaged in the counterattack battle. The narrow city cannot accommodate any extra people. The only task of everyone on the city is to kill the Tartars. As for their own casualties, they will only have the opportunity to deal with them after they have repelled the Tartars.

The soldiers of the Tartars' vanguard battalion were also falling down. While they were shooting fiercely at the Hu Ben Army, they were also subjected to fierce shooting of the Hu Ben Army. The snipers led by Dugu Lie and others were specially designed to deal with the Tartars' vanguard battalion. They shot one by one and one by one at a distance of thirty or forty feet, constantly knocking the Tartars of the Tartars from the horses. The soldiers of the Tartars' vanguard battalion were also suffering unprecedented casualties as if they were trapped in hell.

When Huang Taiji saw it from behind, he felt like he was bleeding. The Forward Battalion was all warriors he carefully selected. One less death, and if one is killed or killed, would it be fine? However, he could not transfer the Forward Battalion back. At this critical moment, any action of calling back the troops would be regarded as a symbol of defeat and may cause unimaginable consequences.

No matter how many people die, he must grit his teeth and persevere.

Huang Taiji must persist.

Zhang Zhun must also persist.

The battle continues...
Chapter completed!
