Lord of Ming Dynasty

You Haibo frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the Tartars are not so stupid, have they been fooled twice?"

Zhang Qiang took a deep breath, "At that time, they will lose their minds again. I can't guarantee whether they will fall into the trap, but what if they succeed?"

You Haibo frowned happily, "If it succeeds, it will severely damage the enemy army, at least make the enemy army burn with anger and attack the city regardless, then the artillery we put on the hill in front of the government office and county office will be destroyed." It will inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and the enemy will not give up until 2 people die. If it succeeds this time, even if the enemy wants to take the opportunity to take us down, they have to consider whether we will cause huge damage to them again. damage, the morale of the enemy will definitely be low, at least we can bring more enemies to be buried with us."

"Well," Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth, "Even if we die, it won't make things easier for the enemy."

Chapter 22 Defensive Collapse

Outside the city, Boluo sat on the ground weakly, his fingers trembling. This time his attack caused the death of two Niuzhen Eight Banners athletes.

This is his capital, how many records does Jurchen Eight Banners have?

But 70 Niulu, plus those Han people who turned positive and became outright Jurchen Tartars, this time he besieged Jinhuafu City, he lost five Niulu Bannermen, and over a hundred Red Armors, Three hundred cotton armors, four hundred leather armors, and seven hundred coated slaves. Most importantly, even Jurchen's most valuable white armor warriors lost more than [-] people, and warrior officers at the Zhang Jing level lost more than a dozen people.

He vomited blood distressedly.

This does not include the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the losses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia are even more serious, more than 2000 people, these are the elite of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

The Mongolian generals had complained privately about his command.

Chadel and Sunit kept silent with ashen faces.

The villagers captured from around Jinhua lost more than 1 people. Although the villagers were captured by them and they were not included in the army, the regular soldiers also suffered heavy losses.

The Ming army lost 2 soldiers, the Han army flag lost 1 people, and even the artillerymen of the Han army flag who came to support also lost 300 people and 35 artillery pieces, which is almost 40.00% of the troops he led. force.

Now he has more than 7 people.

5000 Jurchen Eight Banners, more than 4000 Mongolian Eight Banners, 700 Han Army Banners, some newly attached squires near Jinhua, more than 160 strong regiments training troops, and [-] Han Army Banner artillerymen, [-] cannons, red clothes There are ten cannons, ninety Flang machine cannons, fifty tiger crouching cannons, ten carrying guns, and more than forty miscellaneous cannons.

Previously, he used the most cannon fodder in the nearby Jinhua Township to attack the city, and the Ming army surrendered behind him. Later, he had to send the Ming army's surrendered troops to fight, and then the Han army flags were sent up.

But in a month, he lost more than ten thousand troops, and after a series of supplements, he reached 5000. But in the past few days of siege, he found that his troops had slipped from his hands like quicksand. , more than [-] people were captured and died.

Even in the Eight Banners of Mongolia, some Han slaves escaped, and even Bao Yi escaped. Morale has been so low that it cannot be controlled.

He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. The guard led the horse over and looked at him tremblingly.

"kill."

A descendant of the Ming army carefully said: "Master Belle, the enemy is stubbornly resisting now, the master can besiege but not attack, and trap them to death. The slave thinks that after more than a month of siege, the city must be short of food and clothing. Besieged for a long time, when the enemy has no food and grass, at that time, the city can be defeated without attacking with a single paper."

Boluo looked at him with red eyes, and said coldly: "Drag out, chop."

"Master, master, this slave has good intentions, master, master." The descendant shouted and was dragged out, and after a while a human head was brought up.

Bo Luo stared at the head and glanced around, the surrounding generals were silent, no one dared to provoke him at this moment.

"Attack again." Boluo said two words from between his teeth.

In less than an hour, Zhang Qiang and the others ushered in another large-scale siege by the Qing army.

The Qing army directly crossed the first city wall and launched a large-scale attack on the second city wall. This time, in addition to the cannon fodder running in front, the powerful regiments of the gentry practiced the courage of the country, followed by the surrendered troops of the Ming army, and then the Han The military flag, followed by the Eight Mongolian Banners, followed by the Jurchen Eight Banners, waving horsewhips, machetes, and full bows. Seeing those who are a little slack, beat them down or behead them.

The artillerymen and shotgunners of the Han Army Banner also followed behind, slowly moving the cannons towards the city wall.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Qiang led the three hundred gunners back to the second city wall.

"Papa papa" muskets and firecrackers on the city wall kept ringing, bows and arrows bouncing and bouncing, and volunteer soldiers on the city wall kept throwing spears, stones, and axes out to kill the enemy.

Carrying a ladder, the enemy stumbled to the bottom of the city wall, swarmed up, and then fell under the city wall in pieces.

The archers of the Han army banner and the Mongolian archers shot their arrows like locusts at the city wall, and the screams were endless.

Looking around, in less than a quarter of an hour, the enemy has at least over 2000 people rushing in. This time Zhang Qiang has no chance to bury gunpowder and spread fire oil, so he can only resist. More than [-], nearly [-] volunteers fought against the enemy. lump.

In half an hour, the city walls on the left and right flanks were conquered, and the enemy followed the city walls to attack the volunteers in the middle.

Ants attacking the city is extremely cruel.

The servants led by You Haibo and the two thousand volunteers fought and retreated, retreating from the limited passage to the hill behind, and the enemy followed closely.

Zhang Qiang only led nearly a thousand people to resist for another half an hour, and retreated to the hills. The fighting in other places was tight, and there were no extra troops to reinforce them. There were only some unwilling people in the city, women, old and weak, guarding the hills and mountains Weaknesses of mound connection.

On the two largest hills, You Haibo wounded the enemy with crossbow arrows on one side, Zhang Qiang wounded the enemy with [-] musketeers on the other side, and fought the enemy with rebel soldiers in close combat.

It was late at night, and the fighting was still going on, and it was already late at night.

Suddenly Zhang Qiang heard, "Your command skill has been upgraded to level two. You can command 100 volunteer soldiers. The combat power of the volunteer soldiers under your command will increase by 10, their weapon proficiency will increase by 10, and their loyalty to you will increase by 1 point."

Zhang Qiang could only smile wryly after hearing this. This kind of skill improvement at this time is of no help to the whole battle. There are tens of thousands of enemies, and there are still troops pouring in. There are only 100 people in this area, which can only make him feel nervous. Get a little comfort.

These people are a kind of help for his own development in the future, but they are of no help to the current situation. The reason why he can command so many rebels is because he is now hanging with a rebel army called by Grand Master Zhu. The rank of deputy commander, most of the generals in the city and Min Zhuang are still used to reporting to Zhu Dadian. He does not know the situation in other places, including whether the people have retreated, where they are resettled, and how many refugees and refugees are left. Alive, where, and what happened to the battle at the North Gate.

The information he received intermittently was reported from his own servant who had been appointed as an official by himself.

The battlefield has been flooded by enemies, and the enemies are swarming over like ants, so he can only shoot mechanically, reload, and shoot again, and from time to time he has to draw out his waist knife to fight close enemies.

"My lord, the left wing has collapsed."

"My lord, the right wing has collapsed."

"My lord, the Mongols have broken through the defense and headed towards the government office."

"My lord, the Han army flag has broken through the southwestern defense line and is heading towards the west gate."

"My lord, the Jurchens have rushed to the east gate from the city wall."

There were always musketeers around, and the musketeers shouted in panic. Some of them had already retreated to the top of the hill, looking down from a high position, overlooking the whole city.

Chapter 23 big win

Zhang Qiang saw that You Haibo was also in a hard fight, but he still had a lot of troops there, and it would not be time to collapse for a while.

Zhang Qiang grabbed one of his own guards, "Go and inform Master You, and lead people to chase the Mongols, leaving only his confidants to guard the hill behind the main gate. Go quickly."

Zhang Qiang pushed the panting guard, one of his only three guards left.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard was loyal and accepted the fact that Zhang Qiang was the king.

The guards cut a bloody path, turned around and rolled down the hill, attracting a group of Ming soldiers to chase after him under the hill.

Zhang Qiang didn't pay attention to him anymore, and swung a knife to kill a soldier of the Han Army Banner. He felt that he was no longer the otaku sitting at home, but a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles and wars.

His skills and tactics are also improving rapidly. At least with the help of his guards, he can kill the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army wielding knives and guns, or the brave and strong soldiers of the powerful squires who are coerced. The veterans of the Ming army fought, but when dealing with a surrendered soldier from the Ming army, such soldiers who were timid and did not dare to contribute, and the soldiers who were forced to fight were still [-]% sure that they would kill the opponent, and they might suffer minor injuries.

He already has more than one injury on his body. If it were in the 21st century, he would have been lying in the hospital for a few days, but now he is almost a strong one, and he can be regarded as a brave soldier who can still fight.
