The next morning, there were scattered snowflakes in the sky, and the ground was covered with white and gray colors.
On the east wall of Yanqing Prefecture, four people, Ji'erhalang, Ajige, Baiyintu, and Abatai, stood together, looking at the new army troops arrayed outside the city.
To the east, Liu Yan personally led the soldiers of the Guards Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, and the New Army Rear Battalion to advance in formation, and stopped two miles away for reorganization.
Jierhalang said: "Bring all the prisoners of the Han army! Liu Yan is good at attacking people's hearts. He previously damaged the morale of our army. Today, the king of Japan will also damage his morale!"
"嗻!"
Soon, batches of soldiers with two yellow flags from the Han army with their hands tied were escorted up the city wall. Everyone's faces were horrified, and many people were begging for mercy in tears, but what they got in exchange was the Tatars with yellow flags in Manchuria. A beating and scolding from the soldiers.
The Han flag soldiers stood on the top of the city. Jierhalang said in a cold voice: "Throw it down!"
The Manchu soldiers with yellow flags all showed extremely excited expressions, as if they were doing something pleasant. Some Qing soldiers even shouted and laughed loudly, and then threw down the Han flag soldiers with their hands tied. city wall.
Outside the city, Liu Yan frowned at the scene in front of him. He saw countless Han flag soldiers falling from the top of the city. All of them had their shirts stripped off. They kept screaming loudly as they fell, The city was soon filled with soldiers who fell to death.
This scene made all the new army officers and soldiers dumbfounded. Even Miao Shao was dumbfounded. Are these Tatars crazy?
Wang Yue put down the telescope in his hand and said in surprise: "Master Governor, there was turmoil in the city last night. Could it be those people who were causing trouble? Those people have all shaved their heads.
, could it be someone from the Han Army Banner? "
Liu Yan said: "They must be soldiers from the Han Army Banner. With so many people making trouble at the same time, maybe it's Geng Zhongming and Ma Guangyuan who want to dedicate the city!"
When Miao Shao and Qian Qian heard this, they paused and said almost at the same time: "It's better to lead the army to attack last night."
"The attack last night will not break the city. The turmoil in the city last night did not last long. It can be seen that Geng Zhongming and Ma Guangyuan did not cause any trouble at all. This morning, the camps did not receive reports at night, and even the other three sides of Yanqing Prefecture did not movement."
Liu Yan pointed to the ongoing scene ahead and said: "This is the Qing army demonstrating to the governor. They are telling the governor that Huang Taiji and the others are going to defend the city!"
Miao Shao snorted coldly and said: "If you want to surrender, you will naturally have to defend to the end. It's just whether they have the ability!"
Qian Qian also said excitedly: "Master Governor, I think the Tatars are going crazy now. Let my artillery battalion continue bombarding. It is best to blast a gap in the east city wall today!"
Now Yanqing Prefecture is just a piece of fat. Liu Yan can eat it whenever he wants, so he is not in a hurry, so he adopts this step-by-step method to destroy the city, so that he can get the maximum benefit with the minimum casualties. Results.
"Okay! Those Han flag soldiers are not good things. The artillery battalion can fire immediately."
Liu Yan sneered and said: "Those Manchu slave chiefs thought that killing traitors with Han flags in front of them would anger the governor and lower the morale of our army. They are so naive. Only idiots would have their morale shaken by the death of some traitors! "
Everyone burst into laughter.
Qian Qian then returned to the artillery camp position, and then
He roared loudly and angrily: "Brothers, practice for me and blast your motherfuckers!"
All the soldiers in the artillery camp burst into cheers.
"Haha, move faster, the artillery girls are making a lot of noise when they do their thing!"
"Brothers, adjust the parameters and give those Tatars a hard blow to kill them!"
The soldiers were chatting and laughing, but their hands did not stop. The artillery battalion's red-coated cannon commander, Fran machine gun commander, and rocket launcher commander were all loaded quickly. As for the tiger gun commander, it was useless this time. After the war was over, they all stayed with the Chinese army.
Qian Qian stood on the artillery camp, waiting for the final confirmation from the soldiers, but the flag in his hand was already raised high.
"The rocket launcher is always ready!"
"The Fran cannon is always ready!"
"The red cannon is always ready!"
Qian Qian roared loudly: "Fire!"
boom!
For a moment, the ground shook, and the thick smoke instantly covered the artillery camp, like a fairyland, but with a strong murderous intent.
On the top of the city, Ji'erhalang, Azige, Baiyintu, and Abatai were immediately dumbfounded. Liu Yan still did not follow the routine. The new army did not care about these Han flag soldiers who were originally Han people. Ignoring it, I just opened fire!
"Get out!"
Under the protection of a large number of Baya soldiers from various banners, Jirhalang, Azige, Baiyintu, and Abatai fled down the city wall in embarrassment, and then dense artillery shells hit the city head heavily. Suddenly gravel flew and screams broke out.
boom!
A nearly ten kilogram cannonball hit directly into the city tower, then passed through the inside, beating the three Manchu generals with yellow flags who were hiding here into pieces, and then
The heavy shells rushed out of the window, fell directly into the city, and finally hit the gable wall of a private house, scaring the surrounding Qing soldiers and fleeing in all directions.
On the other side, the shells fired by several Fran cannons focused on the city head, smashing the rolling logs, rocks and other objects piled up here. The rolling logs were basically whole tree trunks, which were hit by the shells. The middle and back broke one after another, and wood of different sizes smashed into the surrounding Qing troops under the force. What was even more terrible was that countless small wood chips and wood thorns penetrated into the bodies of the surrounding Qing troops at extremely fast speeds, immediately destroying the dense Qing troops around them. The army swept down a large area.
At the same time, many of the stones were bounced by the cannonballs. Niu Luzhen, a man with a yellow flag in Manchuria, was standing next to him. This man was strong and had fought in various places in Liaodong. He had defeated eight hundred Ming troops and received awards from Huang Taiji. He was regarded as the number one fierce general among the two yellow banners in Manchuria.
But at this time, this Niu Luzhen fell to the ground and howled miserably. His legs were hit by a stone weighing more than 20 kilograms, and his two thick thighs were completely broken at this time. It showed a weird twisted state, like two twisted noodles.
"Ah! Who will kill me? Kill me!"
At this moment, Niu Lu Ezhen finally understood what life was worse than death. At this moment, he only hoped to be bombarded to death by the Ming army's artillery quickly and end the inhuman torture.
boom!
At this moment, a large number of rockets were fired, killing all the Qing soldiers who were running around on top of the city. The huge impact even knocked some Qing soldiers away and fell directly from the top of the city to the ground. Inside the city
!
A rocket shot directly, hitting Niu Luzhen's left eye, nailing his huge head to the ground, and the screams that had just been screamed suddenly stopped.
Ji'erhalang, Azige, Baiyintu, and Abatai had already fled to the city and were in a house a few hundred steps away from the east city gate.
This house should be the ancestral home of a wealthy family in Yanqing Prefecture. It was built fairly solidly. Four people were sitting in the lobby of the main house, arguing fiercely about countermeasures.
Azig roared loudly: "If we are bombarded by Liu Yan's artillery fire again, the warriors of each banner will collapse without breaking the city! Rather than being beaten to death, it is better to rush out and seize the artillery!"
Bayintu and Abatai firmly opposed it.
Abatai said: "Liu Yan's battalions are ready outside. He is going to use this method to force us out of the city. It's better for us to stick to the city."
Bai Yintu said: "Liu Yan's artillery fire was sharp. The sandbags on the city's head have been damaged a lot in the past two days, and the rockets cannot be defended. It is better to just let the warriors withdraw from the city and wait until Liu Yan's artillery stops shelling. , and re-arrange the defense?"
Everyone thought it was feasible, and Jierhalang nodded in agreement. They immediately sent people to the east city wall and ordered the Manchurian yellow flag troops stationed on the top of the city to withdraw.
"Also, immediately send people to capture the defeated Han army flag soldiers. Don't kill them yet. After the artillery fire ends, we will use these minions to build fortifications at the top of the city!"
"嗻!"
On the east wall, a large number of Manchu troops with yellow flags retreated towards the city. Even the Qing soldiers near the city gate began to retreat. After all, there were continuous artillery shells bouncing off the city top.
Come on, there are still rockets falling. If you don't pay attention, you will be killed.
At the same time, those Han flag soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to escape were quickly arrested and then escorted in batches to various places in the city for detention.
In a house near the east city gate, four soldiers of the Han Army's yellow flag were hiding in a wing inside, listening to the Manchu soldiers and horses with yellow flags passing by outside, and the cannonballs constantly falling on the city wall. There was a huge impact, and several people were almost extremely nervous.
"There's no way we can hide here all the time. Sooner or later we will be discovered by the Tatars!"
One of the youngest Han flag soldiers said anxiously, and another person said: "I think it's better for us to fight. While the Ming army is bombarding constantly and the Tatars have no time to take care of themselves, how about we open the city gate?"
"Still going?"
"What the two masters failed to do, can we do it?"
"Why not?"
The man said: "Didn't you see when we ran over just now? Those Tatars are running towards the city. I guess there are not many soldiers and horses near the city gate now!"
"good!"
A soldier with a scar on his face said angrily: "It's all death anyway. We don't even want our ancestors. We work hard for those Tatars, but in the end they don't even give us a way to live. What else can we say? Even if we fight, we will die." , I also need someone to support me!"
"Done!"
Then the four Han flag soldiers quietly left the house and looked outside through the courtyard door. At this time, no one could be seen on the street. After the Qing soldiers from the group just passed by, they no longer knew where to hide. Escaped from gunfire.
"Walk!"
The four of them walked out of the yard and then went straight
Then he rushed towards the east city gate, and he quickly reached the distance of several hundred steps. There was not even a Qing soldier around!
"Good opportunity, open the door!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them saw in horror that the door of a nearby courtyard also opened, and a dozen Manchu soldiers with yellow flags rushed out from inside.
These people were specially left here by Baiyintu to guard the city gate. In order to avoid the bombardment, everyone hid in private houses, but they also left some people to pay attention to the situation at the city gate. They saw four Han army flag soldiers rushing here with no shirts. , and immediately called for execution.
"Dog slave, seeking death!"
More than a dozen Qing soldiers rushed over, and the four Han flag soldiers turned around and ran away. Soon, three of them were killed by the Qing soldiers one after another. Only the last one rushed to the door bolt, and then moved with all his strength, actually knocking the heavy door open. The bolt is open.
"Haha, you dog Tatars, you all will die a happy death!"
As he said that, the Han army flag soldier opened the city gate and was about to run out, but was stunned by the scene in front of him. The same was true of the dozen Manchu soldiers with yellow flags chasing after him. Everyone was frightened. and looked outside.
In an instant, a large number of rockets shot over, smashing everyone in the city gate into sieves. The huge force even shot the Han flag soldier to pieces!
In the distance, Qian Qian originally just wanted to bombard the city gate with a rocket launcher and set it on fire. Maybe he could completely destroy the city gate, but he didn't expect that someone would open the city gate.
Qian Qian was stunned for a while, and then said: "This, is this a broken city?"
