Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 472
Isha jumped up to the city according to the battlements, stepped on the top of the city, and quickly held the knife in his mouth in his hand to put on a fighting posture. He quickly scanned left and right, but found that there was no one on the top of the city.

The mountain wind blows, slightly cool.

Uncle Naman and several other Bashiku were also watching from left to right.

As a result, no Ming army was encountered.

At this time, Debashikuel and Da gestured to them and led them to rush to a fire-lit enemy building in front. Obviously, the Ming army guarding the pass was lazy and hid in the enemy building to avoid the wind. Even sleep.

Fende Bashiku, led by five Bashiku, followed by the first wave of Ba Yala and other elites, entered the protruding and towering enemy building.

In the watchtower, a dim wind lamp was lit, and there were some spears and sandbags standing against the wall. There was a table in the middle, and there were seven or eight people sitting around, but they all seemed to be asleep on their stomachs.

Isha followed into the enemy building, and Naman had already gritted his teeth and pounced on it like a tiger.

Several Bashiku and Baya Ladao slashed at him.

Then Eleheda made a surprised sound, and everyone else made a surprised sound. Isha didn't know the situation, but he didn't realize it until he rushed to the table.

Those seven or eight Ming soldiers had been cut down to the ground, but they were not Ming soldiers, they were just scarecrows in clothes.

There is no real person in the enemy building.

Isha stood there in a daze holding the knife up high, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

Naman lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that the Ming army knew we were coming, so they were so frightened that they abandoned the pass and fled?"

This kind of possibility is not impossible. In the past, the Qing army often encountered this kind of Ming Dynasty defenders outside the pass.

Ele and Da felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't think of a reason for it.

Had to agree with this statement.

"Hurry up and close the wall, open the door, and raise the fire to signal for the prince to enter quickly."

Everyone became relaxed because of a few scarecrows.

They even took the time to search the supplies in the enemy building.

Naman threw a long gun to Isha. He himself usually used a tiger gun, which was made of better materials, and he looked down on this ordinary small gun.

Isha took it and said thank you, then handed it to Addis who followed closely behind.

"go!"

They went down the city ladder to open the city gate, and on the city wall, there were still flag soldiers climbing the ladder to the city in an endless stream.

"No one, the Ming army has already abandoned the pass and fled."

The man with a smile shouted to the nervous person who had just come up, and raised the lamp in his hand.

"These Ming soldiers are really useless, and they ran away. I was thinking about how many people I could kill for meritorious service, and I was thinking about getting a better piece of armor for Addis..." Pine Duck said with a smile, and they walked along Go down the city ladder.

"Don't worry, we won't fight here. There will be battles in Qingzhou. If the Ming army doesn't defend Qingzhou, then they will fight in Laizhou and Dengzhou. They can't defend even one city..." That man Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden swoosh, and an arrow hit him fiercely.

The lantern in his hand fell to the ground and caught fire.

The man who was hit by the arrow staggered and rolled down the city ladder.

Before Isha could react, Adis had already thrown him down from behind, "Master, be careful of the arrows..." Countless arrows shot from the darkness, and the ones on the city ladder were the first to go to the city. elite.

There were Bashiku, five Bashiku, and more than 30 Bayalas, vests, etc. As a result, most of the careless people were shot down by the dense arrow rain.

Isha fell to the ground, his jaw was bumped and injured, and his eyes were full of stars.

I didn't understand what was going on, but I heard the sound of booming cannons.

After one shot, more cannons sounded, the sound of small cannons, like small buckshot.

"Ambush among us," Adis, who was on top of him, shouted to him, blocking the broken shield in his hand over their heads as he spoke.

·······
The gate of Muling Pass was suddenly opened, General Meng Xian personally put on his armored spear, led a group of armored warriors to fight out, rushed over the simple ladders.

And in the city, many Ming troops also poured in from both sides of the city wall.

ambush.

Even in the hidden places outside the pass, many Ming soldiers who had been ambushing outside in advance were killed and killed.

Ming troops are everywhere.

The young Isha had always fantasized about various battle scenes, but he had never imagined such a scene, "Why didn't the Ming army stop us directly?"

He was puzzled.

Addis pulled him back up the city holding the shield against the rain of arrows, and said, "They must have known that we would come to steal the gate, and let us come up on purpose."

"Why?" Isha didn't understand, but he wasn't afraid that they would really capture Guancheng.

Addis expressed his guess, "It is estimated that the Ming army also knows our tactics. Every time the elites go first, they deliberately let us go to the city first, so that the most elite banner soldiers can be wiped out... "

The Five Hundred Manchu raid battalion would not be able to take such a dangerous pass if they attacked head-on, but if they used a sneak attack method, the chances of winning the pass were very high, and they had tried many times before.

Even if it is discovered, there will not be too much loss, just retreat in time.

But who would have expected that the Ming army would deliberately open their mouths this time, and then wait for them to come out halfway through the board?

"Maybe this is like hitting halfway." As a eunuch in the palace, Addis has read some books.

Isha felt his mind was muddled.

Meng Xian, who rushed out of the city, quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, pushed down those ladders, and then chopped down those who hadn't come yet and the half of the people who went up to the city.

And half of the people who had already gone to the city were caught in an ambush on all sides.

In the darkness, I only felt that the Ming army was everywhere, and there were sniper arrows everywhere, and there were even guns spraying lead bullets from time to time. Because it was a surprise attack, the equipment of these 500 people should be lighter.

There is no double-layer armor, let alone war horses, and they don't even carry equipment such as Xiaoqi long spears and large spears, let alone large shields, shield chariots, etc. They only carry long knives and small shields, which are generally a piece of armor.

Even among the 500 people, many of them are enlisted soldiers like Adis, and only half of them are real armored soldiers.

Many coated minions don't even have armor.

There was chaos.

Fende Bashiku and several Bashiku who led the team were killed in the first wave of attacks, and the rest of the Bayara elite were also surrounded.

Someone yelled to send out the signal quickly, and asked King Boluo to lead his troops to rescue him.

But at this time they have become lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They can do nothing but face endless attacks, and people keep falling down.

The Ming army on the opposite side was unexpectedly strong, especially because they had so many firearms, row after row of muskets were coming, even if they were wearing cotton armor, they couldn't stand it.

Although the Eight Banners are fierce, it is difficult for them to play on this occasion.

The bursts of gunfire were interspersed with one or two bombardments, and there were also arrows flying across the place. In addition, the shield wall and the volley of guns squeezed in, and Isha was extremely desperate.

With a shield in one hand and a long spear in the other, Wen Hu rushed over from outside the pass with his Yebushou team, in groups of three and three, supporting each other. With one shot, he stabbed a tartar who was about to run down the mountain, and his comrades raised their shields In front of him, he stabbed the fallen tartar.

A person from behind came up to make another cut, and after slashing and admitting that he was dead, he went to the next target without beheading his head.

"Have fun, come again!" Wen Hu yelled wildly.

In the distance, Meng Xian led two battalions of soldiers all in armor under his command, sweeping across the Qing army under the city wall outside the pass like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. How could the two hundred or so Qing troops there be an opponent of a thousand armored soldiers?

Under the constraints of the terrain, it is impossible to set up any formation, but the firecrackers line up the guns to open the way, the shield is the wall, the gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha.

Soon, on the Guancheng above their heads, the Ming army began to attack with arrows.

Up and down the city, piles of fires began to ignite.

Illuminates the battlefield.

The Shence Army was as if they had sprung out of hell, extremely vicious.

Meng Xian became a man of blood. He led his personal troops to the front, and no one could block the point of the knife.

It is said that the children of Jiangdong are good at fighting. This Shence Army, which started in Huzhou, has the blood of the generals such as Jin Gongyu, Bai Xiangfu, and Meng Xian in their bones. They dare to fight and can fight, although they have experienced one after another. But they have never been discouraged, failed again and again, climbed up again and again.

The constant replenishment of fresh blood still maintains the tradition of fighting bravely in the old Huzhou camp. After being continuously supplemented with good equipment such as armor and firecrackers, the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger.

This battle was the battle plan drawn up by Meng Xian himself.

There is no routine defense by the city, but after judging that the Tartars are likely to attack at night, according to the terrain in front of the pass, they have formulated such a bold battle plan, let them go to the city, and then make a sudden attack, Cut them in half and annihilate them separately.

This plan is very bold, because it is possible to capsize the ship. If these Tartars cannot be wiped out quickly, a large army of Tartars may arrive, and it will be messed up.

But Meng Xian thought that the opportunity was rare, and he had to find a way to eat a team of Tartars. This would not only weaken the enemy's strength, but also greatly increase his own military prestige.

The narrow terrain in front of the pass is beneficial to them.

Of course, he also made several other plans, just in case.

Fortunately, progress is as planned.

all the best.

Meng Xian chopped down one more man, looked at the scattered remnants of the Tartars, and shouted out of breath, "Hurry up and pack up these remnants of the defeated generals, and prepare to return to the city. Most of the Tartars may be killed at any time, so keep an eye on them."

All ministries raised their prestige and stepped up hunting.

"General, the mountain is on fire, and most of the Tartars are here!"

At the top of the city, the Ming army discovered the signal sent back by Yebushu who was ambushing at the foot of the mountain, and quickly blew the horn to remind, and the soldiers held Meng Xian.

Meng Xian turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a fire rising in the mountains in the distance.

"withdraw!"

Some Tartars fled in the mountains, and Meng Xian issued an order to withdraw troops.

Teams of Ming troops began to quickly clean up the battlefield, beheaded, stripped their armor, collected their weapons, and then filed back into the city.

Close the door tightly.

In the city, the battle has basically ended.

The Tartars in the upper city had no way to retreat. They lost the most elite officers and vests in the first wave of raids, and basically fell into a state of chaotic warfare without command. In a small space, they were quickly encircled and wiped out.

A small number were captured after losing combat effectiveness, and some even surrendered directly.

Addis supported the wounded Isha and surrendered on his knees before the Ming army's swords and guns.

Isha's face was ashen, his eyes were full of despair, he wanted to enter the customs to fight, but he failed, and he became a prisoner and was seriously injured.

He once thought that he could enter the customs with the army, kill all directions, make great achievements, and when he returned, he would be able to carry a few pack horses, silver and silk, and even pull several Han slaves behind him.

Thinking that he might never be able to go back to his hometown outside the Guanwai, the talented Isha shed tears of despair.
