Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 31 Escape from Death (Please read the new chapter)

An hour and a half later, Dabeile Daishan led Zhenghongqi to appear outside Qinghe Fort.

Since Nurhaci executed his eldest son Chu Ying, his second son Daishan was now the head of the four great masters of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was Nurhaci's designated successor to the Khanate and was equivalent to the prince of the Later Jin Dynasty.

The two red flags commanded by Daishan and Yue Tuo have 51 Niulu, which is second only to the 65 Niulu of the two yellow flags. In addition, Du Du, who is surrounded by white flags, also has the intention to attach himself to Daishan. It can be said that Daishan's lineage is now The real power faction of Hou Jin Dynasty.

Especially after Amin's death, the Blue Flag, the second largest flag in Manchuria with 33 Niulu, was directly destroyed by more than half, further elevating the status of the two red flags.

Therefore, he was very angry that Yue Tuo had lost six Niu Lu with red flags in the first battle at Qinghe Fort.

The eldest son, Yue Tuo, was born to Dai Shan's ex-wife. Dai Shan was quite harsh on him on weekdays. Yue Tuo was still very scared when he saw his Ama.

But after all, in front of many slaves, Daishan still maintained a certain degree of restraint.

He said: "Sibele Huang Taiji has sent people to inform the Great Khan of everything that happened here. The Great Khan has ordered you to quickly attack Qinghe Fort. Can you do it?"

Yue Tuo said: "Don't worry, Ama, I have already prepared enough ladders and crash carts to attack the city. Although the Ming army in Qinghe Fort is strong, most of it has been lost before. Our army attacks the city from all sides and will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop. "

Nurhaci was also very surprised when he heard the battle report. The Ming army has become so difficult to deal with. Crow Falcon Pass was tightly defended before, but at this moment, the small Qinghe Fort actually caused Dajin to lose troops.

The Ming army in Qinghe Fort was already dying, so he naturally would not let them go, so he ordered Daishan to come and assist Yue Tuo.

At this time, Nurhachi's two yellow flags were still marching behind.

The roads near Qinghe Fort were rugged and difficult to navigate, making them unsuitable for military deployment. This was why Daishan advocated attacking Fushun Road first.

Daishan said: "It's better to surround the three towers. I will have Zhenghongqi lie in ambush in the west. You can go down and attack the city."

Although the previous losses were considerable, there were still 5500 people holding red flags.

Yue Tuo, who had held back his strength, personally led his troops to attack the previous Dongcheng, and then ordered the other two Mele Erzhen to lead their troops to attack the north and south gates respectively.

I saw Eight Banners soldiers holding shields, waving swords, and rushing toward Qinghe Fort with siege ladders.

Looking at the red flags on the ground outside the city, Yan Mingtai felt that he was at his wits' end. He had exhausted all supplies and tactics.

He has done everything he can, and now he only has to fight to the death!

As the torches fell, the four squatting tiger cannons on the city roared again. The shells were scattered among the crowd, and the air waves raised scattered snow and lead around, directly bringing down the surrounding Eight Banners soldiers.

However, among the thousands of charging troops, this blow did not cause much ripples.

It was different from the previous Ming army who hid behind the city and set off firecrackers.

This time the Ming army directly placed a piece of stone on the arrow stack of the city wall, and each gunman was protected by a soldier holding a large shield.

The Ming army's muskets fired all over the city.

The effective killing range of a bird gun is usually 60 steps, but the Eight Banners soldiers' cloth armor is thicker, and it often takes 50 steps to cause damage.However, the range of the Eight Banners' bows and arrows exceeded 70 steps. Fortunately, the Ming army's shield soldiers blocked most of the bows and arrows.

Anyway, there are so many people under the city that the musketeer does not need to aim. He can just stick out the musket tube at the gap between the city wall and the stone and shoot.

There is a large shield bearer above, holding his shield high to block the rain of arrows from Hou Jin.If Hou Jin's bow and arrow could hit the gap between the stone and the city wall, then the Ming army would have to consider itself unlucky.

All I saw was that the city was surrounded by white smoke, and the marching red flags were constantly knocked down by the Ming army's firecrackers.

At this time, Yue Tuo was so angry that he stamped his feet. These large shields were left by the Qing army in Qinghe Fort before, and these Ming soldiers actually used them against him.

Not only large shields, many Ming soldiers replaced their original mandarin duck jackets with heavy cloth armor or even iron armor with red flags. Even their helmets were decorated with red flags.

Now from a distance, it doesn't look like Hou Jin is attacking the city, but like there is internal strife with a red flag.

Soon Xianghongqi rushed under the city wall and began to build ladders to attack the city.

At this time, the Ming army used spears or muskets to blast the stones that had been placed on the city, and the stones fell piece by piece, directly bringing down a large number of enemies.This scene made Daishan break into a cold sweat. Last year, he led his troops to attack Qinghe Fort. Hou Jin only suffered a hundred casualties in total, and it took less than a stick of incense to break into Qinghe Fort.

Now just at the east gate, they had already paid the price of 200 people before they even climbed onto the city wall.

Li Rubai has always been cautious. When did he become so bold in using troops?
When did the Ming army become so fierce and fearless of death?
No wonder Yue Tuo's previous attack would lose 6 Niulu. I'm afraid the casualties in this attack will not be small either. This time, Xianghongqi is considered to have suffered a lot of injuries.

It's a pity that the attack has already been launched at this time, and there is no turning back when the bow is fired, so now I can only grit my teeth and bite hard.

Soon the city's stone supply was exhausted.

This time Xiang Hongqi learned to be smart and knew that as soon as he showed up, the Ming army's three-eyed blunderbuss would be waiting to greet him.Therefore, before they climbed onto the city wall, they had already thrown the throwing axes, short spears and other weapons they carried onto the city, causing some casualties to the Ming army.

However, many Ming soldiers exchanged with them with the intention of death. Many Ming soldiers received a flying ax in the face or a short spear stuck in their body, but they still fought back with three-eyed blunderbuss.

It was obvious that the Ming army was trying their best. As bursts of white smoke rose from the city, the red flag that had just climbed to the top of the city was knocked down before it could even stand firm.

However, as the Ming army's three-eyed blunderbuss was gradually used up, it soon entered the most brutal stage of hand-to-hand combat.

There was the sound of metal colliding together everywhere, and soldiers from both sides were constantly seen falling off the city wall together.

Outside the city, many soldiers with red flags pushed the city hammer and struck it again and again. The crumbling city gate finally could not withstand it.With a heavy bang, the heavy city gate collapsed to the ground, and countless soldiers with red flags waved their weapons and charged into Qinghe Fort.

The haystacks in the city were set on fire at some point, making the city even more chaotic.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and many Ming soldiers were wearing armor with red flags, making the scene even more chaotic.

Yue Tuo soon discovered the Ming army's intentions, and ordered that no one should leave Qinghe Fort, lest the Ming army fish in troubled waters and follow them out of the city.

A Ming soldier whose right arm was chopped off by a Tatar in the city struggled to pick up a torch and lit the gunpowder barrel next to him. The cannonballs, tiger squatting cannon and several nearby Tatars were blown away together.

The huge explosion attracted everyone's attention. This signal also told every Ming army in Qinghe Fort that the city could no longer be defended, and everyone could only find ways to break out.

One person whispered: "Jiang Yan, take advantage of the fact that Jianlu is attracted by the explosion and quickly jump onto the pile of corpses under the city."

Then Yan Mingtai was forced to jump off the city wall by two Ming soldiers who were also wearing cloth armor with red flags.

The 6-meter-high city wall still has a glimmer of hope.The two of them had already pushed many corpses off the city in advance and placed them underneath to prevent them from being pierced by hidden weapons when they landed.

At this time, the pile of corpses under the city was more than one meter high, which further reduced the height for jumping.

Unfortunately, Yan Mingtai's head hit a hard object when he jumped down, and he fainted on the spot.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a nearby woods.

The two people who had pulled him to jump across the city were by his side now.

One person smiled and said: "Yan Jianjun finally woke up. Just now we were almost buried alive by the Tatar auxiliary soldiers. Fortunately, I blocked the wheel with my scabbard and overturned the cart carrying the corpse. We fell to the ground. I had a lucky escape in the ravine on the roadside."

Although his whole body ached and his head felt dizzy, Yan Mingtai still held up his hands and said, "Yan thanked my brother for saving my life. I don't know your surnames."

The two said: "The villains He Ling and Wang Hu have met Yan Jianjun."

Wang Hu said: "The Tatars are very cunning. They guessed that we wanted to sneak out wearing their armor. Everyone who walked through the city gate was shot by them."

"They probably took care of all the corpses in the city. Of the three thousand brothers, I'm afraid we are the only ones who can get the money alive."

He Ling said with a sigh.
