After Dorgon and others walked away, Mantu stood up from the ground, turned around and looked at the Zhengbai Banner soldiers around him, and shouted: "Warriors of Zhengbai Banner, follow me to kill Nikan."
He walked towards the camp gate with a big knife in his hand.
Behind them were a group of armor-clad Zhengbai Banner soldiers, as well as the Eight Banners soldiers and Han troops who had originally stayed at Tieshan, all rushing towards the camp gate.
"Sir, the camp cannot be defended!" A general guarding near the camp gate saw Mantu approaching and hurriedly stepped forward.
A few hundred steps away from the camp, several cannons were firing continuously at the camp.
The fragile camp gate was already in a mess under the shelling.
Mantu glared at the general in front of him with a fierce look on his face and scolded: "Why don't you fight back?"
"The enemies are hundreds of steps away, and our bows and arrows can't shoot that far." The general said bitterly.
When the army left Tieshan, all the cannons were taken away to attack the Korean city. Dorgon came to Tieshan without bringing cannons, so the soldiers and horses who stayed behind Tieshan had no cannons to use.
The archers who stayed behind in Iron Mountain, even if they were all sharp archers, could not hit the enemy from hundreds of steps away.
Mantu also knew that the current passive beating situation was not to blame, so he said: "Gather the rest of the people, and follow me out of the camp in a while to kill Nikan outside the camp."
"Ah!" The general in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sir, Nikan's offensive is too strong. The last general thought it would be better to temporarily avoid its edge and regroup before fighting again."
He could survive by escaping from the camp, but he was unwilling to stay and die.
"Shut up." Mantu opened his round eyes angrily as he waited for the general in front of him to say, "If you dare to say such words that shake the morale of the army again, I will chop you down right now."
The general in front of him shrank in fear.
He could feel the killing intent coming from Mantu when he said these words.
"I will obey your orders in everything." The general chose to be submissive to Mantu.
Mantu looked away from the general in front of him.
He really had the idea of killing each other just now. The two Belles had just left. He needed someone to help him guard the camp, attract the attention of the Nikan soldiers outside the camp as much as possible, and secure the escape for the two Belles. Chance.
The sound of artillery outside the camp continued, and the camp gate and the wooden camps on both sides were destroyed bit by bit by the artillery. At the same time, the Eight Banners soldiers and Han troops in the camp were killed and injured.
An area around the camp gate was left with broken wood chips. The Eight Banners soldiers and Han troops guarding here had already retreated to a safer place.
"Geng Qianhu, in a moment you will lead the Han army to kill Nikan outside the camp and seize Nikan's cannon. I will lead people to follow you to reinforce you." Mantu was afraid that the Han generals would turn into deserters. , and ordered the Han army to charge at the front.
The Han army can also withstand more enemy attacks for the Eight Banners soldiers, reducing the pressure and casualties of the Eight Banners soldiers.
"Sir, you know the general's troops, but I'm afraid they can't handle such an important task." Geng Qianhu said with a bitter look on his face.
How could he not see that leaving the camp from the front was the same as committing suicide.
"Geng Qianhu, I am not going to discuss this with you again. If you dare to disobey the order, I will immediately order your execution." Mantu said coldly, staring at the Han general in front of him.
As soon as the two Belles left, he had the highest status among the flag soldiers in the Tieshan camp, and the Han army was the Geng Qianhu in front of them.
However, in his eyes, the Han people in Dajin are all slaves, even the generals of the Han army are the same. With him in Mantu, even the general soldiers of the Han army must obey his orders.
Geng Qianhu looked bitter.
Knowing that he could not avoid becoming cannon fodder, but he did not dare to disobey Mantu's orders, he had no choice but to gather the Han troops in the camp and prepare to seize the enemy's artillery position.
Soon a Han army of five to six hundred people gathered near the camp gate.
Geng Qianhu was a little clever and did not directly expose these hundreds of Han troops. Instead, he hid behind a camp wall to block the eyes of the enemies outside.
In this way, there is no need to worry about so many people gathering together and becoming the target of enemy shelling.
"Geng Qianhu, Master Mantu orders you to kill him quickly." A flag soldier sent by Mantu came to bring Geng Qianhu Mantu's order.
Geng Qianhu looked at the flag soldiers with the white flag in front of him and said with a flattering look on his face: "Please tell Lord Mantu that the general will lead his troops out of the camp right now."
"You'd better hurry up, Lord Mantu's patience is limited." The flag soldier warned condescendingly, then turned and left.
Geng Qianhu kept sending the flag soldier away with his eyes before he withdrew his gaze.
He looked at the Han troops beside him and said loudly: "Brothers, if you want to survive, fight with me. If anyone dares to retreat from the battle, even if I don't move you, the flag soldiers will not let you go."
"We listen to the general and fight out."
"Yes, let's fight out together."
Several Han soldiers who had been placed in the crowd by Geng Qianhu started shouting.
Many Han soldiers were immediately bewitched and began to shout and rush out of the camp.
Seeing that his morale was ready, Geng Qianhu immediately raised his weapon and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"
After saying that, he galloped forward and rushed towards the camp gate.
kill!
Hundreds of Han troops, led by their respective flag posts and small flags, rushed out of the camp and attacked the soldiers and horses with the tiger-shaped flag outside the camp.
"This Han general seems to have some skills." Mantu looked at a group of desperate Han troops rushing out of the camp, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to a few men around him, "Take the men and follow me. .”
He didn't care at all whether the Han army could defeat the enemies outside the camp.
These Han troops were originally used by him to consume the enemy's strength. Only then did he and the remaining flag soldiers have the opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's attention being attracted by the Han troops and kill them in one fell swoop.
As long as the enemy could not exert the power of firearms, he was confident that he would kill Nikan outside the camp with swords.
As long as he can rush to Nikan, he believes that the final victory belongs to Daikin.
As soon as the Han army left the camp, they immediately became the target of artillery fire.
However, the cannons brought by the Tiger Flag were not many, and the damage to the Han army was limited.
Even so, the Han army was almost defeated several times, but the Eight Banners soldiers who followed behind stopped the Han army that wanted to flee, forcing the Han army to continue to charge forward.
These Han soldiers must die in the way of blocking the Eight Banners soldiers who followed them.
The Han army suffered more and more casualties, but it was getting closer and closer to the front line with the tiger flag, and it was even less than a hundred steps away.
But there were still four to five hundred Han troops left, and the number of Han troops who were killed or wounded at the muzzle was only a few dozen at most, not even a hundred.
Mantu, who was following the Han army, looked happy.
Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, he raised the corners of his mouth and began to imagine the Eight Banners soldiers killing the Nikan army.
