"General, you see that they only came out with so few people, and they really don't take their master seriously. If they don't kill a few, they won't turn against the sky in the future?" temper.

In this world, nobility is never blood, only wealth and corresponding temper.Wild boar skin was born as a slave, and later generations said that his blood was noble.

As soon as the Eight Banners officer heard this, he drew his knife without saying a word, and rushed towards the soldiers who surrendered with Ma Chao.With the knife in hand, several heads flew up immediately.None of the dozen or so soldiers who surrendered was spared, and all died on the spot.

"No, the Jin soldiers won't spare us, everyone shoot them to death and block the city gate." The head of the city guard shouted in panic when he saw that everyone in the city had been killed.In order to save their lives, the defenders in the city desperately tried to close the city gate.

The golden soldiers outside the city swarmed towards the city, mercilessly attacking, and only wanted to seize the city.However, they were only a small group of troops sent by Jin Bing, with a limited number of troops, but they suddenly attracted a large number of defenders to resist.

The fighting strength of these golden soldiers was so strong that the gate of Huai'an City was rushed open, but was soon blocked by the defenders.The defenders were aroused all of a sudden, they really felt that their lives were threatened, and only by resisting could they survive.

In the end, more than [-] golden soldiers were besieged and killed by the defenders in the city. The "master" who once rode on their heads was like them, and after death, he was just a pile of meat.

"Head, lead us to defend the city!" The soldiers looked at the leader with earnest eyes, covered in blood.

"Emperor Ming didn't kill us, but these Houjin soldiers didn't let us go. It's ridiculous that we surrendered to Houjin before, we really are not human!

From now on, we are soldiers of Ming Dynasty and subjects of Emperor Chongzhen.This Huai'an City, we will guard it. "

……

"Your Majesty, after leaving Suqian, it means that we have lost quick contact with Nanjing. We are fighting on the move, and it will take five days for news from the battlefield to arrive at the earliest." Ji Biao said helplessly to Zhu Youjian.

They didn't even know the latest military situation of Jin Bing. In order to avoid Jin Bing's pursuit, the army was resting in the Sihong area for a few days.

"How many casualties were there in the two wars?" Zhu Youjian huddled in a ball of thick clothes.The heavy snow finally stopped and covered up the traces of the army, but the weather of melting snow made the hands and feet numb, and the wind blowing on the riverside plain made people's bones hurt from the cold.

In terms of resisting the severe cold, the Jin soldiers naturally have an advantage over the Ming army.

Zhu Youjian didn't know that there would be a large group of people in Huai'an City who decided to help him defend the city. He was still thinking about where to go next.

"There were more than 6000 casualties. Now there are more than 4 cavalry and [-] infantry. I have placed all the wounded soldiers on several small islands in Hongze Lake for healing. They should be safe before the war is over. " Li Yan stood under the eaves and stomped the snow on his feet vigorously, and said with his hands.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhu Youjian realized that he was really too lazy now, and he was actually the most idle in such an important battle.

"We will fight based on our intuition in the future. This is the last big supply and rest, and the real hard work will be in the future." Li Yan said with a smile.

"The snow will melt in five days, and our next stop is Suzhou. I don't know how the battle in Fengyang is going." Zhu Youjian muttered to himself.

"Aren't you worried about Xuzhou?" Li Yan was very strange. Zhu Youjian has always been very directional to Xuzhou. He didn't know where Zhu Youjian's self-confidence came from. Is it just a cement city wall?

"Xuzhou can last at least 81 days." Zhu Youjian blurted out.

"81 days?" Li Yan thought he had heard it wrong, how could someone accurately determine how many days a war can last, is it a god?

Chapter 374: Eleven of Jianghuai Great Battle

Fengyang City is already in danger, more than half of the city walls have collapsed, all the independent fortifications and forts outside the city have collapsed, and the entire moat has been filled with waste.

Lu Jiude led a group of eunuchs to fight on the ruins covered in blood, and behind them was the imperial city of Zhongdu.There are strong walls and a wide moat in the outer city. The imperial city is really just a wall.

Huang Degong led the main force of the defenders to fight the golden soldiers in the city. They fought against the golden soldiers repeatedly from street to house.The blood flowed down the streets in Fengyang City and into the moat outside the city, and the corpses had covered the entire Fengyang City.

Because of the imperial buildings in Fengyang City, there was no way to rest and recuperate, which directly led to a great reduction in defense power, which was very unfavorable to the defenders in the era of semi-gunning.

"Godfather, the sons can't resist it anymore." A little eunuch was covered in blood, with a piece of scalp hanging from his forehead hanging over his left eye.

Lu Jiude pulled his messy hair, barely stood up straight, swayed the long sword that had been gapped, and shouted at the Jin soldiers not far away: "Children, follow me to kill the enemy!"

A group of golden soldiers wearing visors rushed directly towards these eunuchs, and with just one face-to-face, the spear formation pierced the chests of seven or eight eunuchs.

The regular field army in formation is definitely not a street fight, and it is not something that the eunuchs around Lu Jiude can resist.

In fact, there are no more defenders in the imperial city.It has been more than a month since the Jin soldiers attacked the city on a large scale, and even the super cannon has been misfired for a few days, and most of the defenders died in battle on the ruins of the city wall.

Lu Jiude was already old, and with the assistance of two young and strong eunuchs, he managed to hack two golden soldiers to death. When he was about to fight the third golden soldier, he was pierced by two long spears of the golden soldier. belly.

"Godfather." The two eunuchs rushed to rescue Lu Jiude.

"Don't come here." Lu Jiude yelled, feeling a fishy smell in his mouth, and he tried not to vomit.

Lu Jiude grabbed the barrel of the spear with both hands, and was forced by Jin Bing to retreat to a wall. He already felt powerless and just wanted to fall down.

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, Lu Jiude felt a pain in his neck, and then saw his headless body, and then he felt that he had fallen into a black hole without abyss.

"Rush into the imperial city to grab the treasure!" This is Lu Jiude's last voice perception of this world.

In Fengyang North City, Huang Degong hung his injured right arm. He had already been shot in three places, but none of them were critical.

Fengyang City has been broken for three days, and it is not easy to persist until now, but the North City is still in the hands of the Ming army, and there are two mountains on the east and west outside the North City, which have not been captured by the Jin soldiers.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the imperial city has fallen." Huang Degong can't remember how many times he heard the news that a certain place has fallen. For him, it is the same wherever it is now.

Half an hour later, several halls in the imperial city were filled with smoke and flames, apparently set alight by the golden soldiers.

"Go, put the last carrier pigeon back to Nanjing, Fengyang has fallen." After Huang Degong said this, he drank a large bowl of water beside him in one breath, and rushed out with a long knife in his hand. This crumbling dilapidated house.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the Tartars!" Huang Degong rushed out from an alley suddenly, and some musketeers and archers who were hiding in a nearby alley and shot at the Jin soldiers immediately raised their heads and aimed at the soldiers on the other side of the street. The shadow shoots.

A few gold soldiers with spears in their hands who were about to kill Officer Huang Degong were shot into hedgehogs immediately.But Huang Degong was still rushing forward, and a group of Ming troops with shields followed immediately behind him.

The Jin soldiers were suppressed by the firecrackers of the Ming army for a few seconds, and then they looked around and found that there were not many people in the Ming army, so they immediately formed an formation, ready to attack Huang Degong.

"Change the formation." Huang Degong stopped immediately, and with a sideways dodge, the Ming army behind him just caught up, and a row of shields immediately covered his whole body.

There was a sound of "crackling", and a shower of arrows from Jin Bing was directly nailed to several shields.Huang Degong was startled when he saw the arrows piercing through the Tunpai. Jin Bing actually used Spike arrows this time, which can be described as very vicious.Especially the stench coming from the arrow, which means that the enemy smeared the arrow with feces.

Generally, the arrows that have been smeared with feces can't be cleaned after piercing the human body. In the end, the wounded person will fester and die, and even a small wound will kill a person.This can be regarded as the earliest biochemical weapon.

"Take it up and fight them hand-to-hand." Huang Degong knew that Jin Bing's bows and arrows were powerful, so he naturally didn't want to fight the enemy with long-range attacks, and could only win in close combat.

Huang Chuangzi was very brave. With a dash, he directly knocked away one of Jin Bing's single-handed shield players, and with his backhand, he stabbed through the chest of a pike soldier. This was when one hand was injured.

"Kill!" Seeing that Jin Bing was frightened by Huang Degong's combat power, the Ming army's morale was shaken, and everyone rushed to the formation with shouts.

"The shield bearer should pay attention to the roof and cover the soldiers." Huang Degong stood up slowly after killing two people. The bump and thrust just now was exhausted.

Sure enough, shortly after Huang Degong shouted to be careful, Jin Bing's archers started shooting arrows from the roofs on both sides of the street.Regardless of whether they are Jin soldiers or Ming soldiers, as long as there is a battle, they will shoot without distinction.

It's a pity that the muskets of the Ming army were not as fast as the archers of the Jin soldiers, and their accuracy was not as accurate as the opponent's.

"Hey! Withdraw." Huang Degong had no choice but to order to retreat. He couldn't understand why the court didn't train bows and arrows but equipped a lot of firecrackers.In his opinion, these firecrackers are not good for single-handed use, because he can kill an enemy with a single-handed throw.

This is how the Ming army was avoided step by step into a desperate situation. Without complete firearms, they could not beat the Jin soldiers at all.

But Huang Degong didn't know that the complete firearms were not only firearms, but at least grenades for short-range attacks, powerful muskets for long-range attacks, and mortars for long-range support.

Finally, these things can be regarded as entering the age of firearms when they are combined with artillery surface strikes.Rows of flintlock guns alone cannot change the situation of the war in this era.Of course, it would be a different matter if a heavy machine gun was invented.
