501 Spring 8
"Cut them all."
Looking at the Tartars kneeling on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, the commando said coldly.
They still have to move forward, and it is impossible for them to take prisoners with them.
Besides, in the shot just now, nine people died in their team at once. This was the largest casualty since entering the city. The captain was angry and could not let them go.
Hearing the order, the vicious Qi army rushed forward and killed more than a dozen surrendered Tartars.
Half a minute later, the Tartars' struggle and screams disappeared.
"How many people are there?" the captain asked loudly.
"The Blues have 33 people." Saliana replied.
"There are 39 candidates for the front line," Zuo Helin said.
"17 engineers." said the captain of the engineer.
With the commando leader himself, there are 90 people in the 120 team here.
This shows how annoying it is to lose 9 people just now.
"Rest for ten minutes and then attack!"
...
The Qi army attacked very rapidly, and all the commandos were advancing through the walls, completely disrupting most of the Jin army's deployment in the city.
The Tartars could not predict where the Qi army would appear, perhaps right next to them.
Perhaps a big hole would be blown up under the originally safe wall in the moment, and then a hundred Qi troops would gush out from it, killing everyone.
The Tartars, who were already short of military strength, had to distract themselves and guard their defenses everywhere. The soldiers were extremely tired in their bodies and minds, which made them easily distracted and missed clues, and they were easily caught off guard by the Qi army.
Moreover, the Qi army commando did not only pass through the walls. When necessary, they would also attack certain buildings or lanes head-on.
As time went by, after the main force of the Qi army began to enter the city, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The main force of the Qi army brought cannons into the city and opened fire at all places with Jin troops at close range. No residential building in this era could withstand the close range of cannons. Often, a house would collapse after two cannons, and all armored soldiers that did not have time to rush out would be crushed to death. The armored soldiers who rushed out by chance would become living targets for musketeers.
The main force of the Qi army was very slow to advance, but they did not give the Jin army any opportunity to take advantage of. In addition, the commandos quickly advanced to the core area of the Tartars, disrupting the Jin army's defensive deployment. Now they are already in a difficult position and are almost completely unable to resist.
At dusk, the commando where Zuo Helin was located launched another attack. This time they found that the enemy in front of them had become much weaker.
They broke through three blocks with a look on their face, but only killed more than fifty Tartars, and nearly thirty of them were wounded soldiers.
They stopped again until they were opposite the Tartar Palace across a street.
This time the commando captain left a living mouth. After asking a little, he found out that Wanyan Zongbi had ordered the contraction and took back all the last thousand armored soldiers to defend the fake palace. He would simply not want other places in Liaoyang City.
The captain stepped on the shoulders of the two soldiers and climbed up to the roof and looked at the pseudo-Imperial Palace.
It was a building complex surrounded by rammed earth exterior walls.
Compared with the imperial palace in the Central Plains, the palace here seems much shabby. All the buildings inside are made of wooden. In the middle of the wall is the Grand Government Hall for the Pseudo-Emperor of the Tartars to live and work. Then ten large rooms are arranged in sequence to the south on both sides. This is the so-called Ten Kings Hall, which is the place where the ten bourgeoisie worked separately when the Jin Dynasty was the most powerful.
This architectural pattern is in line with the essence of the Jin tribal alliance, but with the internal political purge caused by continuous defeat in recent years, there are actually only four of the Ten King Halls still operating normally.
At present, Wanyan Zonghan is in Shenzhou, Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang are both in northern Liaoning, and in fact, only Wanyan Zongbi is the pseudo-Jin Imperial City in Liaoyang.
However, the pseudo-emperor is also there. His concubines, the pseudo-priests, the four Jurchens' wives, concubines and children, and the families of all the existing Jurchen high-ranking nobles are all in this imperial city.
These people alone can be considered valuable spoils.
However, between these spoils and the Qi army, there were more than a thousand Jurchen armored soldiers who were still fighting against the enemy.
Several commandos could not resist the attack on the pseudo-Imperial City, but were shot back by heavy rain arrows. The commandos failed to achieve any results except for dozens of casualties.
This made the commandos who were jealous of such great contributions to the pseudo-Imperial Palace calm down a little - with the hundreds of people in their hands, it was impossible to win the pseudo-Imperial Palace.
So the commandos began to develop horizontally, clearing out the scattered Tartars who did not enter the pseudo-ninth palace, getting in touch with each other, and forming a vague encirclement of the pseudo-ninth palace.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the main force of the Qi army arrived near the palace.
At this time, the Tartars had to light some torches on the wall to prevent the Qi army from attacking.
However, these lights turned them into living targets for Qi army artillery. The artillery that accompanied the infantry entering the city was divided into four artillery groups, each with two artillery pieces, and each selected a breakthrough on the four sides of the wall, waiting quietly.
At exactly nine o'clock, eight cannons fired almost at the same time. The whistling shells hit the rammed earth wall, and each cannon could peel off large areas of earth and rocks.
The Tartar defenders screamed, and some people shot light arrows into the darkness regardless of their care. Of course, this could not cause any damage to the Qi army, but just to give them courage.
The eight cannons bombarded for half an hour, and a huge gap was opened on all sides of the pseudo-Imperial Palace.
Then the Qi army musketeers stood on the top of the building closest to the pseudo-Imperial Palace and diffused the enemy.
After three rounds, all the commandos came on the court again. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, using everything they could at hand to strengthen their protection as much as possible.
Zuo Helin and the others were very lucky to find two trolleys. The soldiers put a wooden couch and a door panel on the trolley, piled a layer of earth bags behind them, and made two simple shield trucks.
At 9:1, 22 Qi army commandos launched an attack at the same time. The pseudo-Imperial Palace was loud and drums were loud, and the figures of Tartar armored soldiers continued to appear on the wall. After shooting an arrow downward, they immediately retracted back behind the wall.
The Qi army immediately fought back with muskets. It was too dark. After the shelling, the Tartars extinguished the torches. At this time, both sides were firing blindly and could not cause any losses.
However, the Qi army didn't care about this. They just needed to get close to the gap in the wall safely.
I don’t know when the snow in the sky became heavier, and the soldiers of Qi who were advancing together made a rattle on the snow. For the Jin army, this was the footsteps of the god of death.
Several Tartars could not bear the pressure, and waved to the point of howling and rushed out of the gap. The Qi army was not polite and ended their pain with a random shot.
Ten minutes after the attack, the Qi army approached the wall of the pseudo-Imperial Palace.
Chapter completed!
