The Three Banners troops commanded by Hauge have as many as five openings south of Fuchengmen Street, and the situation of sending troops is much better than that of Abatai's troops.
However, due to the fact that the distance between the Cao River and the city wall gradually widened from south to north, the war situation in this area was much more critical than that north of Fuchengmen Street.
To be precise, the strategic depth of the Han army's Zhenghong Banner was only about half that of the Zhengbai Banner. As long as the Ming army penetrated Jinchengfang along Wudinghou Hutong, they could join the defenders at the head of the city.
Previously, the first unit of Zhang Yilong's Guards Battalion had crossed the river from Shanxi Damuchang on the east bank of the Cao River and quickly recovered the area south of the Patrol Court Hutong. Passing through the adjacent Tunma Cha Yuan Hutong, we advanced rapidly to the north.
"General, the dog barbarians are attacking very fiercely. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid..."
Jia La E Zhen Chen De ran back with blood sprayed on half of his body. Fortunately, the armor was also red, so it was not easy to see from a distance.
Chen Den was able to break out of the siege because he was extremely lucky and had dozens of soldiers fighting to protect him, so he escaped. Otherwise, he would have become the victim of a barbarian.
The two Niulu armored soldiers he commanded were beaten down to less than 200 men. Moreover, they had no fighting spirit and were running away in all directions. The situation was not much different from that of Jia Laerzhen like him.
It is said that Gou Manzi was defeated in one blow, and he only had his last breath left. Master Wang would try harder to attack Man Ming's imperial city, and he could share the money with great comfort.
But early in the morning, so-called "airships" appeared in the sky, and there were countless armored chariots on the ground. Before Zhenghongqi's troops could be assembled, they were violently bombarded by Goumanzi.
As soon as the king's division was dispersed, the dog barbarians on the other side rushed over like crazy. It was not that easy to assemble the team. Even if there were dozens of armored soldiers in each team, they could not withstand the hordes of dog barbarians. Chariot attack.
Chen De was not an incompetent person. He immediately organized a counterattack and nearly 300 people launched a charge. In the end, less than half of them ran back. The rest either died on the spot or lay in the street wailing.
Unwilling to fail, Chen De asked his subordinates to beat him hard again, but the result was the same as before. This time the morale of the armored soldiers was completely destroyed.
No one can withstand the layers of attacks from the Folan machine, explosive mallets and bird cannons. Being bitten by a firearm at such a close distance is really a death or injury.
Now it is not the field battle that the Qing Dynasty King is most good at, but the street battle that really competes with fighting spirit. Once you can't win head-on, you want to outflank the enemy and come back, and the situation will be as high as the sky.
Every Ming army that attacked Caohe was equipped with many armored chariots. The number of officers and soldiers was no less than one hundred, with hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers behind them, and there were airships in the sky to assist them.
If you can't defeat Man Ming's main force, you still expect to defeat the miscellaneous soldiers behind them. That is impossible, and the other party will not give you this opportunity to attack.
Those miscellaneous soldiers were even more cunning. Many of them chose to go directly to the roofs to pick out the lone Qing soldiers. Their methods were even darker than those of the Han soldiers.
Soon Meng Qiaofang's Zhenghong Banner armored soldiers were in an embarrassing situation where they couldn't stop them from the front and couldn't get around from the sides, and they were suffering casualties every moment.
Chen De, who was hiding in a two-story building and secretly observing the battlefield situation, discovered that the Manming army was responsible for the frontal advance, and the mixed troops protected its two wings.
Chen De took advantage of the situation and broke his troops into pieces. He organized ten people into a team and divided them into more than ten small teams. They launched attacks on the miscellaneous soldiers from the left and right sides, hoping to attack the Manming army from the rear after they succeeded.
However, what the Zhenghong Banner armored soldiers who wanted to sneak attack on the Ming army did not expect was that as soon as they slipped into the alley, they were discovered by the opponent on the roof.
The most unlucky group of armored soldiers ate five or six grenades in one go before even getting a single harvest!
There was no way to avoid the sudden explosion and damage in the alley, and everyone was killed or injured in the blink of an eye.
Before the wounded soldiers could recover from the explosion, the soldiers of the Ming Army jumped down from the roof one after another and thrust their sharp knives into their necks one by one.
Regardless of whether he is dead or not, he will be stabbed once, or even two or three times, until death is certain!
In desperation, Chen De could only order his armored soldiers to go to the house and try to seize the commanding heights as soon as possible.
The two sides fought from the streets to the roofs, but for the Han soldiers, the result was still the same.
The Ming army's miscellaneous soldiers far outnumbered them. Not only that, the opponents were also good at using bows and arrows.
Although the armor and clothing are not complete, their cooperation with each other is also relatively unfamiliar.
But I couldn't stand the vicious and aggressive people inside, so I fell from the room to the ground while holding you in my arms.
If he falls on the street and is discovered by Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, he will be directly stabbed into a honeycomb by a bird gun with a dagger...
What's even more annoying is that these miscellaneous soldiers are constantly recruiting, and there are many thieves who use slingshots to sneak attack the Qing soldiers.
The marbles fired were none other than lime balls!
Once this thing hits the chest or even the face, it will directly emit a cloud of lime smoke, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
For this moment, the person who is attacked is temporarily unable to use weapons to defend against the enemy, and may be hit by an arrow immediately.
In addition to slingshots, there are also those who use lasso, flying claws, and kerosene bombs. Their fighting style is almost similar to that of ruffians.
These irregular tricks made the armored soldiers of the Han army unable to guard against them, and they complained endlessly.
These miscellaneous soldiers alone wiped out no less than fifty of the Zhenghong Banner armored soldiers who had killed everyone in the past.
Chen De felt that his troops had suffered heavy losses and were really unable to withstand the attack of the dog barbarians, so he came back to report to his superiors.
He vaguely felt that if the outside could not break through the city wall as soon as possible, all the ministries in the city would be "sent home" by the barbarians.
"How can this be so? If we retreat further north, will there be any place for us and others?"
Meile Zhangjing and Meng Qiaofang were originally supervising the battle on the front line, but seeing that Gou Manzi's marksmanship was extremely accurate and that he specifically targeted Niu Lu Zhangjing, the king's master, he had no choice but to step back to the second line to coordinate the various ministries.
Ren Zhen, another capable man under Meng Qiaofang, had already sent people to ask him to send more soldiers, otherwise the front line would be unable to withstand Man Ming's counterattack.
However, Meng Qiaofang's troops only had less than 3,000 men. After a night of fierce fighting, there were only about 2,000 left, and they had suffered another shelling earlier.
Coupled with the tight situation on the entire front, the number of available troops is constantly declining. It would be good to be able to gather a thousand men at the moment. How can I have any extra troops to help Ren Zhen?
Chen De mainly defended the south road, and the south road collapsed!
Ren Zhen defends the east road, and the east road collapses!
The troops lost their troops and generals, and were defeated by the dog barbarians.
How should I report the battle situation to Gushan Ezhen King Shixuan? ? ?
There are only three options at the moment, either to fight to the death on the spot, the direct consequence will be the death of everyone in the battle.
Either choose to retreat to the entrance of the cave and exit the city through the cave, so as to save the lives of the remaining soldiers.
In the end, they gave up resistance and surrendered to Man Ming. This was considered the most appropriate strategy.
If you leave the city, you will be reprimanded by the emperor, and if you fail to protect the people, you will be imprisoned and questioned.
Meng Qiaofang did not want to fight to the death, and he did not want to sacrifice his life for the Qing Dynasty.
If he begs for surrender, what will the Ming court do to a general like him who made it easy for Yongping Mansion to defect to the Qing Dynasty nine years ago.
If you can get the same benefits as your position, you can still consider it.
At that time Huang Taiji accepted his surrender, and when he came to the Qing Dynasty, he was still a deputy general.
Now that he has been demoted to his old master, his position should at least be lower than that of the general soldier, right?
"Don't leave, you dog Tatar! Your grandpa is here too!"
Just when Meng Qiaofang was thinking about her way out, a group of people suddenly jumped out from the street corner. Judging from the appearance and color of their armor, they could directly identify their identity. There was no doubt that they were from the Ming Army!
The distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps. Meng Qiaofang's side, including the soldiers led by Chen De, totaled more than sixty people, while the opponent only had less than ten.
"Hmph! You bastards who don't know whether to live or die! This general's great head is here. How can you, the guy, take it? It's not too late to kill these bastards and then retreat!"
Meng Qiaofang relied on the strength of her troops and did not take the opponent seriously at all. She waved her hand and let the surrounding soldiers swarm forward.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Just as nearly thirty armored soldiers were shouting and charging towards the target with their swords, suddenly a series of gunshots like popping beans rang out from the eaves across the street.
Those who rushed in front were completely caught off guard, and nearly ten people were shot on the spot. However, the gunfire did not stop, but continued, causing Meng Qiaofang's soldiers to suffer a sharp increase in casualties.
"Ah? This..."
Such a bizarre sight made Meng Qiaofang shocked and puzzled at the same time. He could directly see the enemy on the eaves. The weapon in his hand should be a blunderbuss, but how could he keep firing?
Can't the cannon be fired only once?
Even the three-eyed blunderbuss used by the Ming army in western Liaoning only fired three times at a time.
The weapons held by the Ming army in front of them were obviously far more powerful than the three-eyed blunderbuss.
In a short period of time, no less than twenty of our own troops were brought down. You must know that there were less than ten Ming troops in the room.
At this moment, eight Ming troops on the street launched a counterattack against Meng Qiaofang's soldiers and shot the remaining soldiers on the spot.
There were nearly thirty soldiers who had been with him through life and death, each of them was a battle-hardened veteran, and they were eliminated by the opponent in the blink of an eye.
What's even more frightening is that it seems that these barbarians are planning to kill all of his group in one fell swoop. It's really...
"Fire the arrow!"
Chen De immediately ordered his men to draw their bows and set arrows. However, before the arrows could leave the string, the opponent threw a bunch of exploding mallets from the roof!
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Due to the extremely accurate location of the bomb, it directly killed and injured more than ten people. This is equivalent to killing more than half of Meng Qiaofang's troops in two attacks.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Qiaofang didn't even bother to say the word "speed". The weapons held by this group of barbarians are extremely sharp, and their marksmanship is exquisite. If you delay for a while, you will be the one lying on the ground.
"Haha! Still want to run? Phew~~~!"
The person leading the team blew a whistle when he saw this. He had observed this prey for a long time before deciding to take action. He was determined to be a super big fish and would definitely not let the bait escape easily.
"……ah???"
Under the protection of Chen De and a dozen soldiers, Meng Qiaofang felt that she should be able to escape. However, several people jumped from the roof at the other end of the narrow street, as if they wanted to set up a trap to intercept them.
"Kill me!"
Chen De knew that he had to fight hard to escape from here, so he shouted loudly and led several soldiers around him to kill him. At this time, he had to fight quickly.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Just when Chen De and his group rushed to be only a few steps away from the opponent, the familiar voice sounded again. Chen De was hit by several bullets and fell to the ground on the spot.
None of the soldiers who rushed with him could stand, and they all fell into the pool of blood they had created.
"Get into the yard quickly!"
The wide-eyed Meng Qiaofang suddenly thought of hiding in the house. It would be best to escape through the back door, with the only four remaining soldiers accompanying her.
"Surround the yard! We're going to catch fish!"
The leader commanded his men calmly, not to mention that the opponent only had a few dozen people, even if there were hundreds of people protecting him, his men and horses could still take his head.
"Captain, look, we found it from the man just now!"
"This is...Jiala? Hmm! It's valuable! It's worth at least...30,000 taels!"
"Very good!"
"So, the number of fish in the house must be much more than 30,000!"
Yi State has been recharging its strength with its special forces for a long time, and now it finally has a place to use them.
After some guidance from the prince, he was no longer a reckless man and knew the basics of special operations.
To put it bluntly, "good steel is used on the blade." When special forces fight, they have to fish in troubled waters, and they also need to fish for a "big fish"!
Yi Bangcai decided on this prey after watching it on the roof for a long time, and then asked his soldiers to approach the prey quietly.
If you hit hard, not only will you not be able to catch the fish, but you will also alert the snake so that it can get an early warning and escape.
Yibangcai divided the three teams of special forces into the cover group, the attack group and the interception group, just to make it difficult for the prey to escape.
The cover team provides fire cover on the roof, where the view is wide and the shooting range is ideal.
The attack team is to attack this group of prey from the front. It is best to kill them directly. Otherwise, the interception team will have to block their retreat from behind.
In addition to full-body protective armor, all special forces are equipped with a six-shot revolver and a short blunderbuss of the same style.
A special forces soldier can pour twelve rounds of bullets at the enemy at one time. In this way, the team of twenty-four people can fire a total of 432 rounds of bullets. In theory, they can beat an incredible Eight Banners soldier.
Of course, Country B will not bring many new recruits who have never killed dog Tatars to die. Besides, the initial bullets cannot completely match the revolving chamber and may jam.
He didn't have much confidence in dealing with the hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers. He had a greater chance of success in dealing with the Han army, which was acting like a fox and a tiger.
According to the contents of the reward order, "Jia La" is followed by "Mailer", which starts at 50,000 taels. Catching one can make the whole team rich.
A "Jia La" and a "Mail" cost at least 80,000 taels of silver. Even if you can only get half of it in the end, everyone can still get more than 1,000 taels of silver, and you can buy a "top thin horse"... …
However, the kind-hearted Crown Prince has already provided it for everyone, and this is considered as a way of repaying the kindness and giving back to the Crown Prince's holy family, even if it is just for a living.
In the special forces, unlike when training with the East Palace Guards, there are all kinds of delicacies, such as ramen, braised pork rice, and cream cakes.
As long as you want, you can eat ramen every time. This is a real beef ramen, not the pork bone ramen outside. The imperial chef who serves the rear residence provides the troops with three meals a day.
For foodies, the happiest thing is that there are unlimited meat dishes, and there is a buffet once a week, which is a long table with a pile of already prepared delicacies for everyone to choose from.
If the food of the special forces is not good enough, then what people outside eat is pig food, and you have to wait in line for a long time to eat ramen.
Of course, these delicacies are not for free. You must show equivalent strength. Not only do you need to master several major hot and cold weapons in quantity, but you also need to be literate, swim, camouflage, block, fight, understand maps, and learn to work day and night. All can identify the direction and other content.
Now that the special forces are making their debut, Yi Bang has secretly made up his mind to get off to a good start, and this guy is the perfect prey...
