Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 127

The news of the annihilation of the 5000 cavalry army of Oboi spread to Nikana, who had just left Jinzhou City. The [-] troops of the Qing army were still fighting against the treacherous environment of nature. Retract Jinzhou City.

The army went back and forth, and Nikan's face was ugly: "I didn't expect that Oboi was so unbeaten, 5000 sons were buried in vain, and Shengjing, it seems that I underestimated the enemy. The enemy is much stronger than imagined." .”

This general who was arrogant and reckless in the original history, whose head was beheaded by Li Dingguo, had a rare cautiousness in his heart.

Now that Shengjing has been lost, most of the territory outside the pass has fallen into the enemy's hands. If he can't defeat the enemy going south, the back road of the Qing Dynasty will no longer exist.

Don't ask him why he knew the Beastmen would keep going south, it was an intuition, an old soldier's intuition.

If it is said that the Beastmen are not good at siege, it is pure nonsense, build a few siege towers, and the big horned beasts line up behind them, as long as they build the city wall, it doesn't matter if it is Bator or the Empire.

Nikan didn't know this, and thought how could an army composed of beasts have the intelligence to build siege equipment.There was nothing wrong with his thinking, it was normal, but he didn't expect that the beast he was about to face was not a beast that had just learned to walk.

Jinzhou City is located at the northern end of the Liaoxi Corridor. The Liaoxi Corridor runs from Shanhaiguan to the north along the Bohai Bay, passes through Suizhong and Ningyuan to Jinzhou, and is about 185 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide on average.

Since all the roads from northeast to North China are rugged mountains except for the Liaoxi Corridor, the flat terrain and lower altitude of the Liaoxi Corridor has become the only way for people to and from the Northeast and North China.

Jinzhou City began to be reinforced and repaired during the reign of Ming Dynasty. The city defense system was complete. The city wall was five feet high and three feet thick. The city gates were made of fine iron and were strong enough to block direct artillery fire. There was also an urn for defense. The city is fully equipped with all equipment. Although it has experienced war, it is still worthy of being a strong city outside the pass.

After Nikan retreated into Jinzhou, he actively prepared for the defense of the city wall. He did not expect that he would hide in the city and wait for the arrival of the enemy.

Fortunately, the Beastmen didn't make him wait too long. In the early morning of the third day, heavy footsteps accompanied by earthquakes broke the tranquility of Jinzhou City.Nikan rushed to the city wall at the first time, and found that the beastman army was densely packed under the city, he couldn't help swallowing.

"Why are there so many beasts? What does Ba Hai do to eat! There are so many of them and they are not reported truthfully!"

Angrily, Nikan attributed all his faults to the dead General Ninguta Bahai, after all, the dead cannot argue with him.

People also read it, and they got angry, so they had to do whatever they wanted.Nikan immediately ordered the whole city to be on alert, and all the Tartars immediately went to the city wall to prepare for battle.

It can be seen that the Beastmen came prepared, with siege towers, ladders, and battering rams. Not only that, the sharp-eyed Nikan also found that there were dozens of giants with a height of seven or eight meters in the Beastman team. , the strange thing is that they only have one eye.

He dared to bet that he read it right, the idiom "outstanding among chickens" was not for nothing, the giant was carrying a boulder that matched his body on his shoulders, and he didn't know what to do with it.

But he soon found out.Accompanied by a heavy horn, dozens of cyclops, under the command of a few small men, lined up quietly in a row, facing the city wall of Jinzhou.

"What are they going to do? No! Be careful!"

Dozens of boulders that were specially selected and made of excellent materials were found by the Cyclops and thrown over.The terrifying boulder slammed heavily on the city wall with a palpitating power.

Standing on the city wall, Nikan felt the most vividly, the earth trembled, the mountains shook, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

The huge stone plowed across the city wall, and dozens of Tartars who were watching on the battlements were killed instantly. The seemingly solid city wall, under the impact of the huge stone, had several small gaps. .

"Why are you still standing there! Fire back!"

Nikan suddenly remembered the artillery bed crossbow on the city wall, and before he had time to be happy that he had found a counterattack tool, he tragically discovered that the direction of the Gori Cyclops throwing the boulder was the artillery positions at the top of the city.

"cao!"

On the violently shaking city wall, Nikan held on to the battlements in embarrassment, and staggered down the city wall.The Qing army was in a passive state from the very beginning, and its morale plummeted.

On the other hand, on the side of the Beastmen, there is a certain amount of advance and retreat, and there is a way to attack the city. The Beast King Gosor is the greatest king in the history of the Beastmen, and he is handy in dealing with humans.

It can be seen that his enemies do not have the same technology as the empire, nor do they have the cohesion of the Bretonnian Kingdom. At most, they are considered to be in the middle of the transition from barbaric culture to farming culture. It is not difficult to defeat them.

The attack continued, and the losses of the Qing army rose sharply. The Tartars endured the threat of huge rocks and stood on the city wall, not daring to take a step back.

Finally, when the Tartars raised their heads for an unknown number of times, the boulder whizzing past their heads disappeared, replaced by a rain of arrows overwhelming the sky.

"Shield formation!"

The Tartars who were lucky enough to survive raised their shields one after another and gathered together to reduce the range of attacks.The arrow rain density is small, and from time to time some Tartars fall to the ground with arrows, and then are shot into a sieve. They are always tense, for fear of stepping into the footsteps of the dead.

On the top of the city, the Tartar archers ventured out and shot at the low-horned beast archers. Both sides suffered casualties. The beastmen temporarily gained the upper hand by virtue of their superiority in numbers, covering the siege tower and advancing steadily. His eyes were fixed on their target - the east gate of Jinzhou City.

boom!The siege towers were erected on the battlements without any suspense, and countless big horned beasts couldn't wait to rush up the city wall. They were two heads taller than the Tartars. The two armies collided, and the Tartars collapsed at the first touch, and a large part of the eastern city wall fell.

The situation of the battle turned rotten in an instant. The Tartar heavy armored infantry guarding the east gate were besieged by a herd of big horned beasts. The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour. The big horned beasts successfully opened the city gate with their battle axes, and the entire Tartar heavy armored army was wiped out. Tauren warriors were able to enter the city.

Nikan knew very well that if he left the army and fled alone, burying an army of [-] at one time, Dorgon would forgive him, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would not forgive him.

For the current plan, the only way to survive is to fight to the death: "You guys! Our Jurchen clan came out of the white mountains and black waters. We have never seen any storms! The number of Ming barbarians killed is beyond count. Behind us is Shanhaiguan. It’s the capital! Take a step back and the Qing Dynasty will perish! Warriors of Manchuria! Come back with this general!”

The Tartars who retreated saw their generals rushing back, how could they fall behind?Besides, the Jurchen clan is very face-saving, and their bold personality allows them to quickly adjust their mentality. One moment they may fight over a trivial matter, and the next second they shake hands and make peace, sitting at the booth and licking.

It's a pity that this is destined to be a futile counterattack. The combination of disadvantages such as backward tactics, loss of initiative, and inferior physical fitness to the Beastmen doomed Nikan's failure.

In 1646 AD, on February 24, the second year of Hongguang, Jinzhou fell, and the largest human force outside the pass was wiped out in Jinzhou.

　The Chaos faction is really awesome, the gods choose to beat Kivris' father and son, and the beauty leads two teams of gods to kill basic infantry and chop vegetables.
