Chapter 295
Behind the low wall, the Ming army's bird gunmen opened fire together, and smoke filled the front line, forming a white smoke belt outside the city wall.
The inexperienced people did not understand concealment, and blood mist rose on their chests, and they were killed one after another like sieve.
Cao Eryu worked as a coat coat for several years, followed his master Yakesa, and participated in many battles with the Ming army. He hid behind the shield chariot with great experience.
He dared not be injured because Baoyi was injured and would not be treated after retreating. The master would give up on him mercilessly and catch a new Baoyi slave.
While fighting outside the pass, he saw too many coats, injured on the battlefield, unable to receive treatment, and eventually died in pain.
These experiences made him learn to protect himself on the battlefield.
At this time, he hugged his body behind the shield cart and the prisoner. The person in front was killed by a bird gun. He then switched to another person behind and used the rights given to him by his master, shouting from time to time, allowing the new prisoners to die.
"Bang bang bang" the projectile hit the shield cart, and the horse-rejected pile in front blocked the road of the shield cart.
Cao Eryu hid behind, waved his long sword, pointed at a few trembling prisoners, and shouted sternly: "You guys, go and move the horse away."
Several people shook their heads crying, and Cao Eryu waved his sword and said angrily: "If you don't go, I'll kill you now!"
The people were helpless. As soon as they rushed out from behind the shield cart, one of them was shot down by a bird gun, and the rest of them moved the horse-rejection stake away.
At this time, as the cannon-coated slave led the prisoners to clear the obstacles under the city, the Qing army gunner of the Zhenghongqi re-adjusted the gun position, aimed the gun at the city wall, and began to smash the city open.
Twenty red cannons fired volleys, thick white smoke covered the long line, iron bombs rushed out of the gun and smashed towards the city wall, dust on the city was flying, and countless gravels rose into the air, falling like hail.
Several rounds of cannons hit, and the earth was shaking on Kaifeng City, and the smoke and dust rolled on the top of the city, with a mess, and a confused vision was unclear, and there were screaming for help everywhere.
Gao Mingheng stood at the top of the city wall, listening to the thunderous explosions of the city wall, the bricks were smashed and sunken, and the battlements were cut off by shells. Amid the rumbling of iron bombs hitting the bricks, the entire city wall trembled violently, and the bricks kept collapsing and peeling.
Outside the city wall, the coat and prisoners, under the cover of shield chariots, moved away without taking any casualties and deer antlers, and cleared out a passage about one mile wide to approach the sheep and horse wall.
Under the Qing army's banner, Abatai saw that the passage had been cleared, so he glanced at the generals next to him and said, "Boro!"
Boluo was excited to hit the chest and turned around and left. Soon, he saw the armored soldiers of the Six Hundred-Pinyin White Banner leaving the formation and rushing forward.
On the city wall, Chen Yongfu saw the Eight Banners coming out and said anxiously: "Zhongcheng, Jiannu wants to attack the Sheep and Horse Wall, let the brothers outside the city retreat!"
Gao Mingheng said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer!"
In less than an hour, the sheep and horse wall will be lost, which will inevitably damage the morale of the defenders.
You know, it took three days to pay the price of thousands of casualties to occupy the wall of sheep and horses and remove the horses and the antlers outside the city.
"Kannu!" Behind the sheep and horse wall, the Ming army saw a group of white-armored soldiers rushing up along the road where they were cleaned up, and shouted quickly.
Li Zhijie hurriedly shouted: "Det the gun quickly!"
"Bang bang bang" The projectile of the bird gun hit the white-armored soldier. The white-armored soldier's body stumbled slightly, and then he held the shield with a ferocious face, waved his sword, rushed forward, and then picked up the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake of the stake, shocking the Ming army behind the female wall.
The horse-repellent stake is very heavy, and usually four or five Ming troops can be moved away, but three or four Tartars can be directly thrown away, which shows that the Tartars are far stronger than the Ming troops.
"Quick! Cum!" Li Zhijie shouted hurriedly.
At this time, the Ming army's musketeers had just raised their musketeers and shot several arrows. The bird gunmen covered their throats and fell to the ground screaming.
The Manchu Eight Banners grow between the white mountains and black waters, making a living by fishing and hunting, and the bows and arrows are more accurate than the Mongolians.
The eagle master of Zhengbai Banner stood behind the shield chariot, bent his bow and shot arrows, and finished it in one go. After one arrow, another arrow was shot, which made the Ming army behind the low wall dare not show its head.
At this time, the heavy infantry of the Zhengbai Banner carrying a shield entered through the gap caused by the previous artillery shells, rushed into the low wall, and then killed the Ming army defenders.
In this battle, the Ming army shouted and slashed with a knife or a spear, and it was difficult to hurt the heavy infantry of the Zhengbai Banner. The Qing army cut down the Ming army with one knife.
For a moment, Manchu took heavy steps, without avoiding swords and guns, and slashed and slashed the defenders in a ferocious manner.
Seeing this, Chen Zhijie hurriedly shouted, "Pick their armor, pick their armor!"
At this time, a Bai Jiang slashed at him with a knife, directly pulling a hole in his chest, which made him sweat in a cold sweat.
On the top of the city, Chen Yongfu saw that the Ming army under the city was no match for the Qing army at all, so he hurriedly said, "Zhongcheng, let the brothers retreat!"
Gao Mingheng didn't expect that the Qing army was so fierce. Seeing that the battle continued, the more than a thousand Ming troops who blocked the Qing army from clearing the obstacles outside the city were to be reimbursed. So he quickly ordered, "Ming Jin! Let them retreat into Weng City!"
The golden sound of "dingding" sounded, and Chen Zhijie forced the Tartar's leader to retreat with a knife, and decisively waved his sword and roared, "Retreat!"
He immediately jumped out of the battle group, turned around and ran towards the bridge, and at this moment, an arrow shot from the thigh in the formation, Chen Zhijie ran two more steps and fell to the ground.
Several Manchu soldiers rushed forward and instantly killed him.
The Qing army quickly occupied the low wall. When the Ming soldiers heard the bell, they fled around the city in panic.
Boluo took the bow and arrow, looked at the fleeing Ming army, and sneered contemptuously.
"Boom!" A loud bang came from Kaifeng City Wall. A section of the city wall, under the continuous bombardment of the Red Barbarian cannons, the bricks collapsed, and smoke and dust rose up in the sky, revealing the earth embryo inside, and were about to be smashed.
Outside the city, the Qing army occupied the low wall and defeated the Ming army outside the city. There were only 300 people in a thousand people. They successfully retreated into Weng City. The chief general Chen Zhijie was also killed by the Qing army.
At the top of the city walls, many walls were peeled off under the bombardment of the Red Barbarian cannons and were about to be smashed by shells.
"Zhongcheng!" Chen Yongfu and others all looked solemn.
The Qing army's combat power was so strong that it exceeded their expectations, and everyone's eyes were shaken.
At this time, Gao Mingheng saw that the Qing army outside the city captured the low wall and quickly pushed it down and paved the road. The coats then pushed the shield carts and continued to move forward, and began to prepare to fill the moat that had dried water.
"General Chen, immediately send a quick horse to General Gao and General Hou for help!" Gao Mingheng was anxious and quickly shouted.
Chen Yongfu nodded and hurriedly went down the city to make arrangements. Soon, the west gate of Kaifeng City opened. Two teams of cavalry asked for help and rushed out one after another, heading all the way to Luoyang and detour to Xuzhou.
