Chapter 92 Mao Wenlong takes orders in danger (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
After seeing the trench filled, Nurhachi and others in the rear finally showed their long-lost smiles.

The losses in the peripheral battle at Nanguan were indeed considerable, with 500 soldiers lost. The Ming army's Franco artillery attack, plus the loss of the white flag under the pass, brought the Eight Banners' cumulative losses to as high as [-] people.

He never expected that the several traps and trenches within a mere hundred steps outside Guangshun Pass would cost him so much.

And compared to the loss of personnel, the time consumption was huge, which was delayed for more than 2 hours, and it would be dark in another hour, so now he had to dispatch the main force of the Eight Banners to attack the city.

In the previous war, five flags were severely damaged. In order to quell the dissatisfaction of the flag owners, he had to order the transfer of flag officers from the relatively intact two yellow flags and the white flag to restore the flags to their pre-war numbers.

Therefore, he deliberately asked Xianglanqi, who had the second most Niulu, to fight.

But at this time, Sanbeile Manggurtai took the initiative to ask for a fight and said: "Great Khan, let me lead the Zhenglan Banner. I will definitely capture Guangshun Pass in less than half an hour."

Considering that Jierhalang had little experience in leading troops to attack cities, it was really inappropriate for him to take the lead, so he agreed to Mang Gurtai's request.

Soon the 500 troops of Zhenglan Banner were heading towards Guangshun Pass.

The situation on the Ming army's side was very bad. Although the personnel losses were not very large, there was only a reduction of less than 200 people.

However, the consumption of various firearms is huge, especially the ammunition of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, and now every fire blunderbuss shot by the Ming army faces the risk of exploding the chamber.

It was really difficult for the tired troops of the Ming Army to face the fresh troops of the Eight Banners who were waiting for work.

Fortunately, Xiong Tingbi had already sent someone to deliver the news. Guerrilla Yu Hualong had led 1500 soldiers from the Tieling Guards to come for reinforcements. They would arrive at Nanguan in an hour at most, and the Tieling Guards and Ming troops from other places were also sent. Received reinforcements.

Now that Xiong Tingbi is in charge of Liaodong, it is naturally impossible for the Ming army to wait and see as it did during Yang Hao's time.

Yan Mingtai shouted: "Brothers, it will be dark in another hour. The reinforcements from Kaiyuan will arrive soon. Now the real prisoners are coming to our door. Let me chop off their heads and collect the reward." !”

Everyone understood that the real test had begun.

The Eight Banners soldiers wearing blue armor were still advancing quickly towards Nanguan under the cover of the carriage. However, there were many previously wrapped corpses on the ground near the city gate, which affected the speed of the carriage.

At this time, the Ming army that had closed the door was already firing on all cylinders.

The solid bullets fired from the Fo Lang machine gun fell into the formation, smashing many people to bloody pulps; there was even a shell that hit the carriage, and the flying wood splinters directly knocked down several people nearby, causing a slight There was a commotion.

However, Mang Gurtai knew that these artillery pieces were just a wave. As long as they acted quickly, the Ming army would have no chance of a second round.

At this time, they quickened their pace and wanted to rush directly to the city in one go.

After approaching the city gate, the Ming army's Crouching Tiger Artillery and Lumi Guns began to show off their power again.

Despite the cover of the carriages, many Eight Banners soldiers were hit by the lead shot from the Tiger Crouching Cannon and fell to the ground wailing in pain.

The Ming army's Rumi gun even took advantage of its long range and high shooting accuracy, and began to kill enemies from a hundred steps away.

The fire cannons of this era were not the rifles of later generations. The shooting accuracy was very poor. The bird cannons were slightly better. The three-eyed cannons basically fired in one direction.

That is to say, good results can be achieved when facing the enemy's dense formation charge.

Zhenglan Banner still has a lot of combat experience. Although they are pushing carts, their formation is not so dense.It is completely different from the coatings just now, which also caused the killing efficiency of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Fire Gun to drop a lot.

Especially since they are all wearing heavy cloth armor and iron armor. In fact, when facing fire guns, the defensive effect of cloth armor is better than that of pure iron armor such as piercing armor.

This also greatly reduced the lethality of Ming military firearms.

Even so, Mang Gurtai was heartbroken. Just by advancing to the city gate, Zhenglan Banner had already killed more than 300 people with Ming army's firearms.

Fortunately, they had already advanced to the city, and the Eight Banners soldiers set up ladders and prepared to attack the city.

At a distance of seventy steps from the city, a large number of Eight Banners archers began to shoot arrows towards the city.

Waves of arrows hit the city, causing heavy casualties to the Ming army. Some of the Ming soldiers who were throwing stones and rolling logs at the city were killed by their arrows.

At this time, the Ming army's artillerymen were anxiously adjusting their positions.

General Gao Zhen shouted: "Why haven't you fired the Tiger Crouching Cannon? Jianlu's bows and arrows have begun to suppress the city. They are about to attack!"

The Ming army's artillerymen were a little nervous, but they quickly completed the adjustment of the muzzle, and the fuse was lit.

The thirty tiger squatting cannons on the city fired roars at the same time, and soon the two blue flag archers not far away were blown up and turned upside down.

The nervous Ming army artilleryman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He shouted: "Continue to reload, and be sure to disrupt the formation of the Jianlu archers under the city."

Taking advantage of this gap, the Bird Guns and Lumi Guns on the city quickly unleashed a wave of firepower on the city.

The Ming army's rolling stones and wooden logs also continued to hit the pass, and many Jianlu who were about to climb the city were hit and fell heavily to the ground.

Mang Gurtai shouted: "If we add another five hundred archers, we must suppress the Ming army on the city. In addition, let the archers disperse as much as possible, and don't let the Ming army's artillery be overwhelmed." At this time, Yan Mingtai shouted Said: "Prepare the three-eyed gun, be sure to kill the first wave of Tatar elites!"

Soon those Bai Bai Ya La, who were wearing heavy armor, climbed up to the top of the city skillfully.But before they had time to climb the city wall, they saw a three-eyed blunderbuss with a lit match drawn pointed at them.

At such a close distance, no matter how many layers of armor he wore, he could not withstand the fire.

However, after all, these Bai Bai Ya La had very rich combat experience, and many of them still threw their weapons in time in the line between life and death, and perished together with the Ming army.

The sound of gunfire and screams on the city were intertwined.

Of course, there were not too many Ming troops holding three-eyed guns to fight against the Jianlu at this time.There were only more than 3000 Ming troops in Guan Guan. Even though this exchange was not a loss, he did not dare to exchange more.

Soon the Ming army armed with spears and swords came up and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Jianlu who followed up the city.

The Ming army's cunning operation of replacing elite soldiers with gunfire at close range made Mang Gurtai heartbroken.

All the Bai Baiya La in his Zhenglan Banner had been killed during the last siege of Zha Huizu, and now most of them were newly recruited and promoted elites.

This time I lost everything again.

Although the current Zhenglan Banner still has 21 Niulu, the newly added soldiers are either old and weak or are bannermen transferred from other banners, and their combat strength has been significantly reduced.

At this time, the city has entered the most brutal stage of hand-to-hand combat.

Gao Zhen had not been so excited for a long time. The wind was blowing under his feet and he was constantly walking between the city walls. The sword weighing tens of kilograms was even more handy in his hand, and he danced like a tiger.

Every time he fell, a Tatar was killed, and after a while, seven or eight Tatars were lying down.

Originally, Yan Mingtai was worried that the Ming army would suffer losses in close combat, but he did not expect Nanguan General Gao Zhen to be so brave.

The Ming army on the city became more and more courageous under the encouragement of the general. Relying on their numerical superiority, they were about to drive the Zhenglan Banner off the city.

The two sides were in close combat, and the Ming army's gunmen on the city wall were no longer able to shoot. Only the gunmen on the city gate tower and several enemy towers were still shooting continuously, harvesting the enemy's heads.

The archers of the Zhenglan Banner below the city are also constantly looking for prey on the city.

Gao Zhen's performance was so eye-catching that he attracted the attention of many archers, and soon he was hit by two arrows.

However, the penetrating power of the arrow was greatly weakened by the fish scale armor, and it did not have much impact on him.

Gao Zhen was in the mood to kill at this moment, and did not take the Tatar archers who fired cold arrows from the city into a sneak attack too seriously.

With rich combat experience, he pays great attention to the protection of his face, and usually only exposes the armored part under the city.

But at this time, a Zhenglan Banner archer named Nava had already reached a place 50 steps away from the city. He picked up his three-stone bow, calmly selected an armor-piercing arrow, and filled the bowstring. His eyes were locked on Gao Zhen.

Nava stabilized his breathing, then released the bowstring.

The armor-piercing arrow was shot from the bowstring, piercing the sky, directly penetrating Gao Zhen's armor, and hit him in the back of the heart.

Gao Zhen was suddenly shot and killed, causing a sudden change in the situation on the battlefield. The Tatars, who had been about to be driven off the city, saw that the murderer of the Ming army was shot, and their morale was instantly boosted, and they actually stabilized the situation.

At this time, Yan Mingtai said sternly: "Mao Guerrilla, I am ordering you to temporarily take over the post of guard general of Nanguan and command all the ministries in the city. You must drive the Tatars away for me."

Mao Wenlong said excitedly: "General, I will avenge General Gao!"

After ten years of hard work, Mao Wenlong finally got an opportunity to stand out. He was a guerrilla general through rescue, and he had nothing to show off. Now he wanted to use real military achievements to justify his reputation.

Soon Mao Wenlong led hundreds of fresh troops to join the battle.

The Tatars discovered that this bright general was actually more powerful than the original one. The Zhenglan Banner on the city did not take much advantage, and he was driven off the city after a while.

Nava, who succeeded in the sneak attack, was shot dead by the Ming army's Lumi gun before he could take a few steps.

He looked at the bloody hole on his chest in disbelief and fell down unwillingly.

At this time, the Zhenglan flag receded like the tide, and the Ming army on the city began to cheer, while the gunmen of the Pinglu Guards seized the opportunity to shoot the Tatars.

Although he was very reluctant, Mang Gurtai had realized that his Zhenglan Banner was no longer able to fight at this moment.

A total of 2000 people were lost in this siege, and all the White Tooths were lost. It can be said that his vitality was severely damaged. Now he can only wait for the Great Khan to send more reinforcements!
