After nightfall, the falling snow was carried by the northwest wind and fluttered between the burning ruins. The snow took advantage of the wind and became heavier and heavier. The white snow cannot wait to cover up this sinful and bloody world.
A crystal clear hexagonal snowflake passed over the blood-stained Kaiyuan General Military Order Flag, flying like a night elf to the battlefield in the north of the city where iron and blood blended together.
She dodged the hot lead and numerous arrows, swayed in the wind, and finally landed slowly on a flintlock gun amid the shouts of tens of thousands of horses.
Yang Tong stared at the snowflakes melting on the blunderbuss tube, breathed a quick sigh, raised his frozen arm with difficulty, and rubbed the blunderbuss tube vigorously to keep the flintlock dry.
The melted snow would freeze near the sight. In that case, the good luck bestowed upon him by Taishang Laojun would be sealed by the severe cold.
Yang Tong supported the shield cart and moved a step with difficulty. His feet were as cold as stones and he had already lost consciousness.
"The Tatars are much worse off than us."
He comforted himself like this and felt much better.
Dozens of huge shield carts were like hungry giant beasts, making no attempt to hide their intentions under the cover of night. The blazing bonfires burning around the shield carts looked like big blood-red eyes, watching with eagerness for more than 300 steps. The Houjin Khan's Palace outside - Huang Taiji's last wolf lair.
Yang Tong carried his flintlock gun, which was always accurate, and chased him all the way from Ximen Wengcheng to here. From afternoon to dusk, and then to darkness, he kept pulling the trigger to kill Hou Jin soldiers who appeared in his field of vision. From two red flags to a white flag, until finally, the opponent changed to two yellow flags.
Along the way, there were more and more soldiers around him, and the follow-up troops continued to enter the battlefield, including cavalry, gunmen, spearmen, gunmen, and he even encountered a group of rocket soldiers.
As he continued to advance, Yang Tong could clearly feel that the resistance of the Hou Jin soldiers on the opposite side was getting weaker and weaker. It is no wonder that almost all the soldiers in the city defected. These people fought with a smooth sail and their morale was like a rainbow, which was better than that of the Ming army. The servants are even more fierce. Yang Tong was full of hatred for these gangsters. In his eyes, the gangster slaves who fished in troubled waters, killed, and set fire were no different from the slaves who built the country. He didn't know how Pingliao Hou would deal with these thugs after the war. But one thing is certain, the huge wealth in the city of Hetuala has been robbed by these wrappers.
There was a faint cry of a woman from behind, mixed with a few Manchu words. In the streets, a few money rat-tail wrappers were still tearing at Jianzhou women.
The Shandong archer who followed Yang Tong all the way and cursed loudly:
"The coated dog succeeds more than fails. He only knows how to kill people. The Tatars will fight us to the end!"
Yang Tong looked sternly and said:
"We are small in number, and we were expecting Baoyi to be used as cannon fodder, but they took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot. Mr. Liu will not let these thugs go."
After Yang Tong said that, he turned his attention back to the battlefield.
In the dark night, the Khan's Palace was blazing with fire, and one could barely see Houjin's defenses. Before dark, the soldiers had attacked twice, causing more than 300 casualties, but nothing was found.
Huang Taiji completely copied the Shenyang fortifications built by Xiong Tingbi before the bloody battle of Hunhe River, and defended them layer by layer. Of course, he made slight improvements to the fortifications. On the surface, Hou Jin increased the number of artillery and muskets on the position, and added trenches. And the parapet layout, as for what mysteries are beneath the surface, only the soldiers’ lives can be explored.
Huang Taiji conducted a detailed analysis of Liu Zhaosun's past battles and concluded that Ping Liao Hou fought regardless of casualties. In response to this, the Great Khan of Houjin exhausted Hetuala's manpower and material resources, designed this trap or a meat grinder, and waited. Liu Zhaosun came to attack.
Although Hetuala will eventually fall, and although the Jianzhou Jurchens will eventually be slaughtered, before that, Liu Zhaosun and the soldiers he brought will shed their last drop of blood in front of the position and die together with the Jiannu.
Yang Tong looked at the towering turrets and towering walls in the distance, feeling uneasy in his heart.
What the 2000th headquarters can reach now is only the outer positions of the Khan's Palace.
According to the descriptions of those soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, the Tatars built seven or eight trenches in front to guard the horses. There were bunkers and pits between the trenches. There was only one passage for two horses to walk side by side. The road was splashed with water, and people walked It's easy to fall down when you get up there, making you a target for Houjin archers.
In short, all of Huang Taiji's designs are to kill as many Kaiyuan soldiers as possible.
Liu Zhaosun and his arrogant generals naturally knew nothing about this. Even Sun Chuanting, who was always cautious, believed that after crossing the river, the Kaiyuan army would be able to counterattack Jiannu and sweep the holes and plow the court.
Unexpectedly, the half-crossed attack was just an appetizer...
At dusk, Deng Changxiong sent a flag force of more than 120 soldiers to attack. As a result, more than 100 soldiers were destroyed in the ditch before they could see clearly the appearance of Hou Jin's soldiers.
Deng Changxiong called off the attack in time and ordered artillery and divine fire flying crows for reinforcements. Only then did the artillery fire clear the ground for more than two hours.
"How many Tatars have not been burned to death?"
Yang Tong looked thoughtfully at the trench parapet in front of him with the flames blazing into the sky, and said to himself silently.
~~~~~
When Buyantai saw the enemy soldiers crossing the river, he knew that Hou Jin had no hope of getting reinforcements in time.
Niulu Ezhen, where he was, took all the people who were ambushing near the east bank to intercept the Kaiyuan soldiers who were crossing the river.
Between the west gate and the river bank, Niulu, three hundred of them, only lasted for half an hour before most of them were killed by the Nikan soldiers after crossing the river. Taking advantage of the last burst of arrow rain, Buyantai followed a few armored soldiers to retreat to Khan. Palace position.
Buyantai had not closed his eyes for two whole days and two nights. He could almost fall asleep standing up, but he still kept smiling on his face.
The equipment of the Houjin Army and the Nikan Army were too different. When the battle was most tense, Buyantai even took out a green onion from his waist and took a big bite. After taking a bite of the green onion, tears flowed from his eyes. He felt a little comfortable and felt much lighter.
