"Just fill it in!"
Under everyone's expectant and worried gazes, Huang Taiji uttered a sentence coldly, which made the generals feel cold.
"Khan, although I fell into the pit, but..."
"Do you have a better idea?"
Huang Taiji interrupted Abatai's debate: "It's not that I am cold-blooded, I want to save him because he is our warrior and our brother.
Those who can be rescued will inevitably be exposed to the attack range of the Ming army on the Longjingguan wall, and they will die directly by then.
Furthermore, how long does the rescue take? Half an hour or an hour?
When reinforcements from the Ming army arrive, what will we do? This Khan cannot make fun of the lives of more than 40,000 warriors! "
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Huang Taiji continued: "Of course, this Khan doesn't give them any way to survive.
Go tell the warriors in the pit that I will fill in three ten-foot-wide roads and let them lean on both sides.
Whether they can survive or not depends entirely on their fate! "
"Yuetuo, Duduo, you two immediately take people to chop down trees and move rocks. I will continue the attack in two quarters of an hour!"
After the two men took the order and left, Huang Taiji looked at Azig again: "After the hole is filled, fire all the shells out and continue to bombard the gap just now!"
"Abatai, after the artillery fire is finished, push the chariot forward to expand the gap in the city wall."
"We will never retreat until we blow up the city wall or enter the city!"
"Success or failure depends on this!"
Everyone knew that Huang Taiji was completely angry.
The large hole, which was two feet wide and one foot deep, was filled very quickly and was completed in less than two quarters of an hour.
Jiannu's artillery started bombarding again, and stone bullets hit the crenellated city wall that had just been flattened.
The green bricks shattered and dust flew everywhere.
Wouldn't the shells land in the same crater? That's because there are not enough artillery shells. Under the intensive attack like Jiannu's current one, seven or eight rounds can fall into a crater.
The collisions were superimposed one after another, and the city wall finally cracked.
Bricks and rocks fell down, and then collapsed. It was only one to seven or eight feet high, but now it is only less than half a foot high.
The jagged gap of more than ten feet looked disgusting in the firelight, but it was great news for Jiannu.
"Chariot, charge!"
Chariot after chariot was pushed by the surrendered Ming army and quickly approached the city wall, not only to test whether there were any traps ahead, but also to distract the Ming army from attacking.
"rush!"
Looking at the chariot gradually approaching the city wall, Abate roared, and the Jiannu cavalry began to charge again,
On the city wall of Longjingguan, looking at the chariots and cavalry charging again, Cao Bianjiao roared: "Li Yang, blow up the chariot, don't let the chariot get close to the city wall!"
"Qin Gongming, block the gap and prevent the slaves from entering the city!"
"Warrior camp prepares!"
As soon as he finished speaking, black and smoking objects were thrown out from the crenel, falling around the chariot, or even directly onto the chariot.
Boom...boom...
There were loud noises, and the explosion of the palm thunder ignited the gunpowder that Jiannu in the chariot was preparing to use to blow up the city wall.
Balls of fire rose into the sky, looking particularly dazzling in the dark night.
Each tank was blown to pieces, and the debris was flying and burning in the air, mixed with the screams of the surrendering Ming army.
At the same time, three-eyed muskets at the crenel were aimed at the charging Jiannu cavalry.
Thousands of three-eyed fire cannons opened fire, covering almost no blind spots within thirty feet of the city wall.
For a moment, the perimeter of the city wall was illuminated by the firelight from the three-eyed firecrackers.
The Jiannu cavalry were unprepared. They fell down one after another in an instant, were knocked away by the painful horses, and were immediately trampled into pulp.
But Jiannu got Huang Taiji's death order and the military order not to retreat until the city was invaded. The front was dead, and the ones behind rushed up on the corpse of the sergeant in front.
Even if each person in the Warrior Battalion brought three three-eyed fire cannons and one bird cannon, it would only be a drop in the bucket in the face of the constant charge of tens of thousands of troops!
Jiannu rushed to the city wall, and one of the surrendered Ming soldiers placed the ladder against the city wall and began to climb up.
"Push to the ladder and attack with rocks and logs!"
The Shanhaiguan reinforcements responsible for guarding the city wall began to counterattack.
Six people worked together at each crenel, and the two used big forks to push the ladder leaning against the city wall toward the outside.
The two men picked up the stones they had prepared and started throwing them at the soldiers under the wall. They used bows and arrows to attack from a distance.
The simplest attack method often causes incredible damage, such as throwing rocks downwards.
A large stone weighing ten kilograms was thrown down from the city wall that was nearly two feet high. No matter what kind of armor it was, as long as it was hit, it would be basically useless.
Blood spurted out, brains splattered, and screams continued.
Even if he was not killed on the spot, he would still be hit by soldiers who fell from the ladder behind him.
Although Jiannu suffered a lot of casualties, the Ming army on the city wall also suffered a lot of casualties. Although Jiannu's artillery fire was finished, their archery skills were extremely strong.
For a while, the Ming army on the city wall gained the upper hand.
Looking at this scene, Cao Bianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiannu used an ordinary ladder, not a wheeled ladder truck, otherwise Jiannu's attack intensity would be higher.
Compared with the defense of the city wall, although the battle at the gap was more intense, it was a lot easier for the Yulei Camp and the White Pole Soldiers at the gap.
Although the city wall collapsed, the cavalry could not charge directly in because of the piles of bricks and sand.
The two armies hiding behind the ruins also deliberately put in some Jiannu sergeants, but as long as they entered, they were basically killed by several spears.
From time to time, the Royal Thunder Battalion would throw out a palm thunder, blowing up the charging cavalry and knocking them off their feet. The two armies cooperated perfectly with each other.
The fighting lasted from Haizheng time to Zizheng time in the evening.
During this process, Jiannu's attack method also changed at any time, from a life-threatening attack to one that took advantage of the speed of the cavalry to start teasing.
At first, a palm thunder could kill and injure three or four unsuspecting slaves, but after a quarter of an hour, it was basically useless.
Perhaps inspired by the palm thunder, Jiannu also began to make gunpowder into something similar to the palm thunder, and took advantage of the cavalry to throw it into the gap in the city wall from a distance.
Although the power was a little less powerful, it could not withstand the large number. By the end of the Chou period and the beginning of the Yin period, the original ruins and piles of rocks were completely flattened.
In front of Longjing Pass, the blown-up chariots were burning and making crackling sounds.
By the jumping firelight, there were piles of corpses outside the city. Judging from the clothing and armor, most of them belonged to the Ming army, and less than 10% were slaves.
From here, we can see how ruthless Huang Taiji was, using the surrendered Ming army as a vanguard to consume the military supplies and combat power of the Ming army in Longjing Pass.
Apparently, his plan worked.
No matter how well-prepared Cao Bianjiao and others were, facing the constant attacks of tens of thousands of troops, the Ming army's stone-rolling logs had long been exhausted.
Yulei Camp's palm thunders are rare, but the Bangtian Lei is not used very much.
The three-eyed fire rush of the warrior camp could no longer withstand the continuous firing and exploded, turning into incomplete maces.
