"kill--"
Under the Phoenix City, a large number of Sauron soldiers climbed up regardless of life and death, as ferocious as beasts.
The burly figure, ferocious expression, and successive arrangements put Phoenix City in danger for a while.
The Ming army had never seen such an advance.
After being shot in the eye, they grunted and continued to climb the ladder; when they were injured and unable to move, they jumped off the ladder without hesitation to make way for those who came after them; their ape-like figures allowed them to easily avoid danger.
It was a dull and cruel fight, as if the beasts in the forest were fighting for their prey, and even the blood was cold.
The extremely strong figure, the expression of risking life and death, and the cooperation like a wild wolf shocked many people.
As long as it is allowed to reach the top, the space near the female wall will quickly become vacant and become an isolated island.
The Korean soldiers could only act like firefighters, focusing on one thing and not the other, running around, and they were so busy.
Several times they were in dangerous situations, but Wu Sangui watched with cold eyes, unwaveringly, with no intention of supporting him.
Li Chengdong also watched coldly.
In his opinion, using cannon fodder Korean soldiers to kill the opponent's elite was the most suitable method.
Li Yingren had stayed in North Korea for many years and trained troops in person. He was more affectionate to these North Korean soldiers and horses than the Beijing camp, and he couldn't bear to look directly at them at this time.
After hesitating again and again, he opened his mouth and was speaking, but was interrupted by Wu Sangui, as if he already knew what he was going to say.
"General Li, do you know about the pension in Beijing camp?"
Li Yingren nodded and was about to speak, but Wu Sangui interrupted him:
"Those who die in battle will be rewarded with thirty acres of land, plus twenty silver coins, and their family will be exempted from corvee service for ten years."
"These are the most ordinary children from the Beijing camp. There are even more officers, and if they have a title on their head, it would be even more extraordinary. The Ministry of Rites has to take action, and the royal family has to give rewards."
"Those who survive the disability will be given ten acres of land, rewarded with twenty silver dollars, and arranged to serve in local township or village positions."
Wu Sangui said indifferently: "So every once in a while, the Ministry of War will issue a notice. If I lead troops with too many casualties, even if I have made great achievements, it will be difficult to get the approval of the cabinet."
"You don't want us to end up like this after years of hard work, right?"
Li Yingren opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
Li Chengdong knew that he was upset, so he changed the subject and said, "Why are these soldiers and horses so different from the past?"
"I remember that the Eight Banners before were very life-saving and would not tolerate such hand-to-hand combat easily."
"These should be Sauron soldiers."
Li Yingren thought for a while, frowned and said: "If the Jurchens are barbarians, then the Saurons are savages who drink blood from their hair."
"He is extremely active in the mountains and forests, and is also good at climbing. Now it seems that he was recruited by the Manchus to be the first to climb."
"Isn't it a pity that such a strong man should be wasted like this?"
"The entire north of Liaodong is full of barbarians similar to the Saurons. It's even more bitter and cold than Liaodong. It snows for seven or eight months. It's a good time to have neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm. It's a good time to eat raw meat..."
Li Yingren said with an ugly face as he talked about the news he had researched from North Korea: "No wonder the Manchus are so difficult to deal with. It turns out they used the Sauron people."
"The mortal body, no matter how powerful it is, will eventually come to an end."
Seeing the Sauron soldiers losing their momentum and showing signs of decline, Wu Sangui sneered:
"It turns out that it was these savages who gave me the courage. No matter how much blood I have, I can't bear to lose it——"
Seemingly seeing Sauron's troops blocked, the Qing army could only withdraw its troops at the expense of gold.
The more barbaric the tribe, the harder life is. The warriors who survive the battle with nature are often extremely powerful.
For example, in European history, the Germanic barbarians annexed Western Rome, and the Ottomans shocked Europe. They were all barbarians who won.
The poor are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
Life is already difficult, so it would be better to die.
"The Sauron soldiers can't do it either."
Jirhalang shook his head, his expression ugly.
Along the way, relying on the bravery and climbing ability of Sauron's soldiers, seven or eight fortresses were easily captured, which can be said to have basically cleared the obstacles.
However, after losing too much morale, the remaining Sauron people did not understand their fate as cannon fodder. They were not afraid of death, but they did not want to die in vain.
"Now that things have come to a point, no one can hide anymore. We must go all out. Phoenix City must be taken back."
Jierhalang did not dare to delay and immediately began to boost morale. There must be no delay.
At the same time, seeing the situation reaching a stalemate, a backup plan was immediately devised.
Chahanhot City.
Ban Chan blessed him here for several days, and tens of thousands of herdsmen accepted the Fa religion.
Temples are being built rapidly and there are more and more monks.
The temples established as early as in the Chahar area also gradually established the status of the Ming Dynasty.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Changzhou began to recruit troops based on his prestige.
In two or three days, nearly five thousand herdsmen became the Ming army. Under his leadership, they gradually moved northward, threatening the Inner Khalkha tribe and heading towards the Horqin tribe.
Obviously, as a surprise soldier, it was time for him to attack Liaoxi from the flank and take it by surprise.
It's a pity that Khalkha Huokao from Mobei broke through the obstacles and came to Chahanhot because of his admiration for Buddhism.
At this time, Sun Changzhou hesitated.
If left alone, this is likely to be the Khalkha Mongolian method and military plan; and if they are driven away, it is very likely to force the Khalkha Mongolian tribes to rebel, which is very detrimental to the annexation of Chahanhot.
In the end, he chose to pause.
…
Compared with the other two routes, the Liaoxi Corridor, which was originally thought to be difficult, turned out to be very smooth.
Those nail-like castles were reduced to ruins under the massive red artillery fire. It was difficult for the Qing army to defeat them in the field and they were almost suppressed.
"Why?"
Li Jizu was stunned.
It had only been half a month since the war started, and he was only a hundred miles away from Jinzhou. There were only three or four fortresses in front of him, and he looked vulnerable.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
"It should be the consequences of that year."
At this time, a veteran Guan Ning stood up and said with shame: "These castles built by Jiannu are all built by relying on the reinforcement of the original fortresses."
"It looks solid, but actually it's already rotten there."
"Oh?" Li Jizu became interested: "Keep talking."
"Before the Battle of Jinzhou, about four million taels of silver flowed into western Liaoning every year, and most of it was used to build the city. Especially the civil servants were afraid of fighting in the field, so they built more city walls.
The Guan Ning Army only has about 100,000 people at most, so if there is not enough leftover, it can only be deducted from the city wall..."
"I see."
Li Jizu suddenly realized: "No wonder Jiannu was sweeping Wuji in western Liaoning, but in the end, he was hindered for more than ten days in Xiabaicheng. It turned out to be because of deception."
Thinking this way, he was filled with emotion: "At this time, I really should thank them."
