Chapter 184: Repel the Enemy Frontally(1/2)
~~~~~~~
This wave of offensive with the blue flag is very compact.
Seven to eight hundred Han slaves were driven forward to serve as human shields. Behind them were two to three hundred Houjin soldiers carrying ladders. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they were not just the Han flag soldiers just now, but
Therefore, most of them are real slaves.
On both sides, there were already hundreds of archers approaching.
It seemed that the slap just now made Amin angry.
Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at the entire battle situation.
There is no real person under such great reputation.
Amin dared to compete with Huang Taiji, but it was not just arrogance. Just look at his understanding of the battle situation at this time and his decisiveness in mobilizing the battle formation.
This kind of person is definitely a person who 'walks the talk and gets results'.
"Yuan Qing, this wave is going to be difficult to deal with. They have a large number of people, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them with only the cannons." Zhang Pan was a little anxious.
Almost every one of these seven to eight hundred Han slaves has a sandbag in hand, and there is a sandbag defense line 50 steps away. Once they push over, it will be difficult for the Ming army on the top of the city to stop them from setting up ladders.
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Cannons, bows and arrows to suppress them. Inform the catapults and serve them some soup and side dishes first."
"Yes." The order was passed down after a moment.
Soon, birds and muskets were singing from the top of the city, and arrows were flying, heading straight towards the Han slaves below the city.
These Han slaves suddenly cried for father and mother, and were killed and injured.
They did not have any defensive equipment at all. It was summer again at this time, and they were all in single clothes. They became the target of the Ming army's cannon soldiers and archers.
At this time, the main force of the Hou Jin Dynasty was hiding behind them. They couldn't run away even if they wanted to. They had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth. They could only wait for death.
Li Yuanqing also felt bad.
This damn thing is simply committing evil.
Unfortunately, if he didn't attack them, Lushun City would be directly threatened, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so Li Yuanqing had no choice but to be ruthless.
"Folks, I, Li Yuanqing, can't stand you. I swear that these dog Tatars will repay your blood debt." Li Yuanqing shouted loudly to the Han slaves in the city.
"Sir, save us."
"We are also the people of Ming Dynasty."
"Sir, you can't take advantage of us."
"grown ups……"
These Han slaves immediately burst into flames, and their cries were earth-shattering.
Li Yuanqing let out a long breath and forced himself not to look or listen to this scene. I'm afraid Luo Guanyi also blamed himself for this scene in Xiping Fort that day, right?
Loving the people as children has always been the core of Confucianism. Especially for a veteran like him...
But Li Yuanqing had no time to relent. At this time, the Han slaves had already rushed through the 50-step sandbag defense line, and were driven by Hou Jin soldiers to accelerate towards the city wall.
"Throw the sandbag over. Throw it under the city wall."
"Hurry up, old guy, you fucking don't want to live anymore, die~~~."
A helpless old man was severely chopped down by a Han army flag soldier with a knife.
The Han flag soldier hid behind the crowd and shouted loudly: "Fuck everyone, if you dare to step back, this is what will happen."
The crowd was crying and wailing, but at this level, what could they do?
"Shoot. Shoot. Suppress them. Don't let them come." Li Yuanqing shouted loudly.
The Ming army at the top of the city did not dare to neglect, and fired their muskets and bows and arrows in unison.
At this time, the slingshot was also ready, and the earthen jars and clay pots that exuded a foul smell had been pulled behind the rubber bands.
"put."
Following Chen Changyou's loud shout, six catapults, plus eight simple slingshots, and a row of dark earthen jars and clay pots flew over the city wall and landed in the crowd with a thump.
"Ah, the bright dog who can kill a thousand swords."
A Han army flag soldier was hit by a black earthenware jar. The earthenware jar broke instantly, and the dark black thick liquid instantly covered his body, and the stench was astounding to his nostrils.
"What is this, what the hell is this."
The Han flag soldier's head was suddenly bleeding. The foul-smelling liquid instantly seeped into the wound on his head and gradually spread to his whole body. He was rolling on the ground in pain, wailing desperately, and saw that he could not survive.
After all, slingshots and large slingshots were more powerful. These earthenware pots and clay pots passed directly through the Han slaves in front and exploded among the main force of the Jin army.
But there are very few people who are as unlucky as this Han flag soldier. But for others, even if they are not directly hit by these pots and jars, the liquid inside can still be enough to hurt them as long as a little splash on them.
Come on.
This kind of sticky odor cannot be wiped off or wiped away at all. If it splashes into the eyes, the eyes will probably go blind immediately.
"Guazao. Give it to me. Hurry, hurry------."
The Han flag soldier was still struggling for his life. At this moment, a bright steel knife behind him was stabbed into his back. A Jia La Zhangjing wearing silver armor strode forward and shouted loudly.
Later Jin soldiers moved forward.
It was Amin's close confidant Fuchatai.
Seeing that the big master was coming, the Jin army did not dare to neglect, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to rush forward, and the speed suddenly accelerated a lot.
"Whizzing……"
There was another row of earthenware pots. The earthenware pots flew past and landed among these Houjin troops. A few more unlucky ones became tragic victims.
There were all kinds of debris everywhere on the ground, and the sticky stench hit your nostrils.
If you accidentally step on these things and slip, and your skin is scratched by fragments and stuck to these things, even if you don't die, half of your life will be gone.
Coupled with the sandbags and corpses left by the Han slaves, as well as the arrows and projectiles of the Ming army on the city top, the wide land outside the North City of Lushun turned into a hell.
But with Fuchatai supervising the formation, Amin not far behind, and Lao Nu in the middle army, no one of these Houjin soldiers dared to neglect, and despite all the firepower of the Ming army, they rushed towards the city like crazy.
With such a mass offensive, the long-range firepower of the Ming army has almost reached its intermission period and needs to rest. It is temporarily unable to deal a fatal blow to the Hou Jin army. They can only let them rush to the bottom of the city wall and set up a ladder.
The Han slaves had been dispersed, and soon, more than a hundred Houjin warriors, under the cover of archers on both sides, began to climb up the ladder and rush to the top of the city.
"The rolling wood, the stone, the golden juice... all are damn good to me."
Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion was responsible for the long-range firepower on the city, while the close-quarters hand-to-hand defense was the job of Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan.
In such a situation, neither of the two dared to neglect, and hurriedly called on all the troops to throw all kinds of defensive weapons towards the city.
Although there was not enough time for the defense of Lushun City, the three of them had done enough preparations. In the area of Lushun City near the north gate, most of the residential buildings had been demolished.
Everything that can be used is used as a weapon.
At this time, facing the offensive of the Hou Jin Army, the Ming Army did not have many reservations at all, and they did not spare any weapons, just one word - go ahead.
A man in white armor with a blue flag, holding a single sword in his mouth, holding a shield in his left hand, and supporting the ladder with his right hand, like a sensitive ape, quickly climbed up the ladder.
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch." A Ming soldier raised a stone as big as a man's head and hit it hard on the white-armored man's head.
The white-armored man smiled ferociously, revealing his yellow teeth. He turned to one side and avoided the big stone.
But he was very agile, but the Han flag soldier below was unlucky. The stone hit him right in the face. The huge impact caused his brain to burst suddenly, and he fell down from the ladder without any movement.
.
"Hey. This dog Tatar. How dare you jump around?"
When the Ming army soldier saw that he missed a hit, he couldn't help but became furious. He quickly picked up another stone and hit it hard on the white-armored head.
But this white armor was extremely sensitive and he dodged again. At the same time, he suddenly raised his right hand and threw the shining steel knife towards the Ming soldier.
This Ming army soldier was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He had just succeeded in fighting, so he was so bold. When had he ever been so close to crisis?
He was at a loss for the moment and could only wait for death.
At this moment, a big sword was blocked in front of him, with a "clang" sound, resisting the fatal blow of the white armor.
The Ming army soldier was surprised and happy. After a moment, he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, and he was about to kowtow.
Li Yuanqing smiled and hurriedly stopped him, "Next time you will see something bad. Don't be stupid and hide behind the city wall. Stones are not good for this beast. Use this."
Li Yuanqing said, pointing to a broken basin standing on the fire next to him, which was filled with a thick stench.
The Ming army soldier also reacted, and he and Li Yuanqing hurriedly raised the broken basin and poured it on the face of the white armor who was just about to climb the city.
Although this white armor can avoid stones, how can it avoid this large pool of foul-smelling viscous liquid?
Although he reacted very quickly and hurriedly lowered his head, he was still soaked in the rain. He screamed in pain like a pig because of the heat. He suddenly fell from the top of the ladder and fell hard to the ground with a 'plop'.
"General, he, is he dead?"
The Ming army soldier was about to stick his head out to check the movements of the white-armored man. Li Yuanqing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Have you not gained a memory yet? If you think he is dead, then he will be dead. Young man, be smart."
Point. This is a white armor. Don’t forget to report your merits to the governor."
After saying that, Li Yuanqing smiled, patted him on the shoulder, hunched over again, and quickly walked to other places to inspect.
