Chapter 132 Meat Grinder (Part 2)

"Boom boom boom..."

After another row of dense rogues, dozens of Jiannu who had just climbed up the gap also fell into a pool of blood. The few Jiannu who were lucky enough to be shot were stunned and turned around and ran away. However, before they could run down the gap, a rain of arrows shot down from the city wall, instantly shooting them into hedgehogs.

At this point, after two hours of fierce battle, Baiyintu, the three thousand taels of yellow flag elite soldiers led by Oboi were wiped out.

"Jiannu is dead!"

"Datong is guarded!"

"Win, we won!"

"Hahaha, Datong has been saved..."

The Datong border troops on the city wall cheered in an instant. They jumped, laughed, shouted, cried, and shouted, and were completely lost. Then, the musketeers behind the low wall also cheered. The legendary invincible Jiannu was finally defeated by them. From today on, they are the real strong soldiers in this world!

Outside Datong City, on a small hill in the distance.

Hearing the dense gunfire and tide-like shouts in the city, Ajig suddenly stopped, and asked in wonder: "What's going on? Why is there no sound?"

Shuotuo, the head of the Inlaid Red Flag Flag, also frowned and said, "Yes, even if Baiyintu and Oboi have succeeded, there will still be a fierce battle with the Ming army after entering the city. Why is there no sound?"

Because of the distance, Dorgon and others who were standing on the hill watching the battle did not know what was happening at the gap. They only saw the three thousand elite soldiers of the two yellow flags rushing through the gap in a swarm, and then quickly disappeared. As for the massacre that occurred later, they were blocked by the collapsed broken walls and did not see it at all.

Because the Ming army musketeers in the city only opened fire after Jiannu crossed the top of the gentle slope. When the fire was opened, Jiannu was still rushing down. Therefore, Jiannu's corpses were almost all on one side of the city, and there were only a small number of corpses on the outside of the city. They were killed by Datong border troops on the city walls with rolling wood, rocks and bows and arrows.

Others were puzzled, but Dorgon and Fan Wencheng realized that things were not good. Fan Wencheng said with a serious expression: "Master, the situation seems to be something wrong. Bai Yintu and Oboi are likely not successful. There are three thousand elite soldiers of the two yellow flags, so I am afraid that it will be a little bit of a disaster. I suggest that the attack of the two white flags be temporarily suspended."

"Yes." Dorgon nodded and said to Ajige behind him, "Twelfth Brother, the subsequent attack will be cancelled."

Originally, Dorgon planned to let Ajige take the elite soldiers of the two white flags and follow the two yellow flags to the city to get a bargain. But the situation is too strange now, Dorgon dared not take the elite soldiers of the two white flags to take risks.

As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, there were cheers like a sea of ​​cheers in the Datong city wall in the distance. The Ming government troops, originally hidden behind the dove, stood up one after another, waving the weapons in their hands frantically. They shouted wildly, and the violent sounds soared into the sky. Dorgon and the others were clearly heard several miles away.

Soon, many Ming official troops appeared in the explosion gap. They were also waving their weapons, cheering, shouting and shouting outside the city. Many people were provoking nakedly and shouting at Jiannu frantically: I'm here to kill you...

At this moment, even the stupidest people knew that the three thousand elite soldiers of the two yellow flags were wiped out. As well as Baiyintu and Oboi, they were afraid that there would be little danger. This result can be said to be completely beyond the expectations of all the Jiannu nobles. They never thought that the final result would be like this.

"Damn it! The two trashed guys, Baiyintu and Obai, are so useless, the most bullshit warrior!" Ajig, who was irritated, was furious and stepped forward to Dorgon and said, "Old Fourteen. Give me five thousand people. I must kill all the Southern Ming barbarians in the city."

Dorgon ignored Ajige and asked Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Wencheng. Why is this happening?"

Fan Wencheng was also puzzled. Jiannu's authenticity was secretly dug at night, and Wang Pu could not know the news in advance. Since he did not know the news in advance, of course he would not ambush the heavy troops in advance at the gap. If there were no heavy troops from the Ming army to block the attack, it would be easy to kill Oboi's three thousand elite soldiers with the name of Ju Yintu.

But the result is not the case. What went wrong?

Dorgon and Fan Wencheng did not expect that Wang Pu had already detected the attempts of Jiannu in advance, and roughly detected the location of the Jiannu tunnel, and made corresponding arrangements. Baiyintu and Oboi's three thousand elite soldiers originally wanted to kill the Ming army off guard, but they turned into moths that were extinguished by fire.

Dorgon frowned and said, "Is it because of the suspicion of the military plan outside the West Gate that caused Wang Pu's suspicion?"

Before exploding the city wall, according to Fan Wencheng's siege strategy, Dorgon once mobilized more than 10,000 Eight Banners, more than 50,000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 20,000 Han army's Eight Banners to the west gate, and set up a strong attack from the west gate. But now it seems that Wang Pu did not seem to be fooled at all.

"Hey, it seems that's the case." Fan Wencheng sighed in annoyance and shook his head and said, "I originally intended to lure the Ming army, but I didn't expect it to be backfired."

Fan Wencheng couldn't think of any other possibility, so he could only take the responsibility on his own head.

"But I don't understand." Dorgon frowned and said, "What trick did Wang Pu use? He could destroy the three thousand elites of the two yellow flags in less than two hours, and all of them were destroyed! None of the three thousand elites escaped alive. When did our Qing Dynasty fight such a defeat?"

Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said, "It should be the Ming army's firearm."

"Fire Weapon Camp?" Dorgon said disapprovingly, "When did the Ming army's firearm become so powerful?"

Fan Wencheng said: "Master, you forgot the battle of Wang Pu's surprise attack on Liaodong in August last year. He defeated Prince Darham Batulu's three thousand iron guards and two hundred guards of the late emperor. According to the memories of the surviving warriors, Wang Pu's firearms battalion is different from other Ming arms battalions, completely different."

Dorgon frowned and said, "What's the difference?"

"Regent, completely different!" Ta Zhan Yue people who had participated in the battle of Liaodong came out and knelt down and shouted loudly, "Wang Pu's firearms battalion is completely different from other Ming arms battalions. Other Ming arms battalions fired random guns. However, Wang Pu's firearms battalion fired all guns, and they were row after row, and continued."

"Oh?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice, "Tell me carefully."

To be honest, Dorgon was very dissatisfied with Wang Pu's surprise attack on Liaodong before today, believing that Wang Pu was just taking advantage of the loopholes of the Eight Banners Army. Otherwise, with his more than a thousand cavalry, it would not be enough to even block the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry. However, today's battle gave Dorgon a new understanding of Wang Pu.

The fierce battle in Liaodong rose again before Ta Zhan's eyes, and said in a low tone: "At that time, Nucai and Ebilong had already ambushed the only way for the Ming army to pass. The Ming army was about to enter the ambush circle, but I don't know why they didn't leave again."

Azig asked anxiously, "What's next?"

Ta Zhan said: "Later, as the sky was getting dawn, I and Ebilong decided to take the initiative to attack. Ebilong led a thousand cavalry to attack from the front. Jucai and Tulun each led 500 cavalry to encircle Wang Pu's Ming army. Originally, they wanted to take Wang Pu's Ming army in one fell swoop, but they were defeated."

Yue Tuo said: "How did you lose?"

Ta Zhan said: "Ebilong led a thousand cavalry to charge from the front. Before he rushed to the Ming army, more than 400 cavalry had been killed and killed. Ebilong was also killed in battle. The remaining more than 500 people dispersed. At first, the slave and Tulun did not know how Ebilong was defeated. It was not until he rushed to the Ming army that he knew what was going on."

Dorgon said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Ta Zhan said: "Wang Pu's firearm battalion is roughly divided into five and six rows. They lined up one after another, and shot in turn. There were about one hundred people in each row, and more than one hundred muskets fired at the same time. The firepower was too dense. More than half of the five hundred cavalry of the slave had died or injured before they rushed to them. The remaining Mongolian cavalry refused to listen to the slave's command. They turned around and fled without authorization."

Azig said astonished: "The two thousand cavalry are all over?"

Ta Zhan said: "Not many people died. Later, Wang Pu's firearms camp suddenly withdrew, and the slaves took people to rescue all the injured soldiers. But Wang Pu's firearms camp is really different. If he changed to another Ming army camp, he would have been taken away by the slaves."

Dorgon turned his eyes to Ajige and asked, "Twelfth brother, you also suffered a great loss from Wang Pu's Fire Art Camp half a month ago. The three oxen points of Dominga. And the five oxen points left behind were also destroyed by Wang Pu's Fire Art Camp? Wasn't it the same at that time?"

"I don't know this." Azig scratched his head. "There was a mess at that time, who could care about these?"

Dorgon asked Fan Wencheng: "What do you think Mr. Wencheng?"

Fan Wencheng said: "I think that since Wang Pu's firearm can defeat 2,000 Mongolian cavalry with seven or eight hundred people, it is not surprising that Baiyintu and Oboi's three thousand taels of yellow flag elites were wiped out."

Dorgon frowned and said, "It seems that even if the city wall is blown up, if Wang Pu's firearms camp cannot be solved first, Datong City will still not be able to be defeated."

Ajige suddenly said, "Wang Pu's firearm is powerful, and our Qing Dynasty's firearms are not bad either. Didn't Tong Yangxing say that the red cannons he made were even more powerful than the red cannons of the Ming Dynasty? Then why not use the red cannons he made? Can Wang Pu's firearms not be afraid of flowering bullets?"

"Hiss..." Fan Wencheng's expression moved and said to Dorgon, "What Prince Wuying said is not without reason. The Red Cannon is indeed a powerful weapon to counter the King Puhuoyi Camp."

Dorgon turned around and asked Tong Yangxing, "Tong Yangxing, can the red barbarian cannon hit the Ming munitions camp behind the gap in the city wall?"

"No." Tong Yangxing shook his head and said, "Unless the broken walls in the gap are removed first, the red barbarian cannons will not be able to hit the Ming munitions camp hidden behind."

Fan Wencheng said: "Then remove the broken walls in the gap first."

Dorgon suddenly turned around and shouted, "Shi Tingzhu, Li Yongfang."

Shi Tingzhu and Li Yongfang rushed forward and knelt down and replied, "The slave is here."

Dorgon said: "Each leader of two thousand Han troops, using oars and shields to approach the gap, and cleared out the broken walls."

"twitter!"

Shi Tingzhu and Li Yongfang responded and took the order.

Datong, the gap.

"Jiannu is here!"

"Jiannu is here to kill again!"

The whistlemen on the tower first noticed Jiannu's approaching and shouted loudly. The border troops on the city walls on both sides of the gap also shouted. Then, under the Qianmao, he scolded the general and began to carry the rolling wood and rocks and clean up the arrows. The city soon became a mess again. However, the chaos was not as desperate as when Jiannu first came up.

More than a dozen musketeers cheering on the broken walls that were just now at the gap also retreated one after another, and set up shooting formations behind the low walls, quietly waiting for Jiannu to come and die.

However, this time, the figure of Jiannu did not appear on the broken walls at the gap. Only the sound of killing on the top of the city and outside the city was heard shook the sky, but Jiannu did not appear.

On the arrow tower to the left of the gap, Wang Pu and Zhen Youcai were standing behind the arrow hole to watch the situation on the battlefield.

Because the arrow tower protrudes out of the city wall, Wang Pu and others can see Jiannu's every move through the arrow hole on the side of the arrow tower.

Seeing a large group of Jiannu slowly moving forward under the cover of the oar shield, Zhen Youcai shook his head and said, "Jiannu wants to use the oar shield to open the way? Although this thing can block the fire of the musket, it cannot block the bombing of the Dragon King Cannon. General, should he notify the monks and the others in flag words, and let them prepare to use the Dragon King Cannon to kill the slave?"

"Yes." Wang Pu nodded, turned around and said to Lu Liu, "Lu Liu. Immediately notify the monks with flag words and ask them to prepare to throw the Dragon King Cannon."

"yes."

Lu Liu agreed and ran to sing the flag.

But soon, Wang Pu and Zhen Youcai discovered that things were not that simple. After approaching the broken walls outside the gap, the group of Jiannu did not continue to move forward, but quickly divided them into three parts. One part of Jiannu carried the shields in front to resist the attacks of Ming troops from rolling wood, rocks and bows and arrows. One part suppressed the defenders on the city with bows and arrows in the back formation, and the other part began to nervously move the broken walls at the gap in the middle.

"Huh." Zhen Youcai exclaimed in surprise and said, "General, it seems that this group of Jiannu is not here to attack."

"Um."

Wang Pu nodded. He also found suspicious points.

Zhen Youcai said again: "Jiannu seems to be moving the broken walls outside the gap. What are they doing?"

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "No matter what Jiannu wants to do, they can't complete it smoothly, Lu Liu."

Just after finishing the flag, Lu Liu rushed to Wang Pu and replied loudly: "Here."

Wang Pu said: "Chang the flag immediately and ask the monk to bring five hundred brothers to the city wall. Each brother brings more Dragon King cannons and use the Dragon King cannon to blow up all the Jiannu under the city."

"yes."

Lu Liu took the order again and left.

Flag language is an ancient way of communication in front of the formation. In ancient China, there were ruling flags. Where the commander's command flag was directed, the three armies gathered in the scenery and followed them. Wang Pu's flag language referenced more frequently in modern land flag language, which was very different from the ancient land flag language, and the information transmitted was much richer and more detailed than the ancient land flag.

Within a moment of playing the flag slogan on the arrow tower, Monk Zhang brought five hundred musketeers to the city walls on both sides of the gap. Each musketeer carried ten Dragon King cannons. With the order of Monk Zhang, the five hundred musketeers ignited the Dragon King cannon's fuse with fire twisters, and then threw it out of the city.

The gap of the city wall that was blown up by Jiannu was about ten feet wide. The collapsed bricks and mud fell on both sides of the city wall in a fan shape. The farthest part was about ten steps away from the outer edge of the city wall. This distance was completely within the throwing range of the Dragon King Cannon. With the advantage of the city wall being condescending, the musketeers could even throw the Dragon King Cannon forty or fifty steps away!

"Chichichi..."

Iron lumps with black smoke were thrown down like raindrops on the city and rolled to the ground. The Jiannu were struggling to carry the oars and shields, or busy cleaning up the broken walls, or busy suppressing the defenders on the city with bows and arrows. They ignored the iron lumps falling from the sky.
To be continued...
