Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 191

Hearing the voice of bandits under the city gate, the faces of the people on the city wall turned pale.And the prefect of Hefei who was standing in front was trembling with anger, and said in a muttering voice.

"The bandits are so arrogant, I'm so mad! Bandits are bandits, they speak so rudely!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and cupped his hands at a general in armor beside him.

"The defense regiment below has General Raub's soldiers! Please be sure to defend the city and wait for the Governor's reinforcements!"

"Where, where. Master Futai is being polite, this is the last thing to do." Bu Congshan said politely.

Although the general soldier is the second rank, the magistrate is only the fourth rank.But those who hold a knife are not as thoughtful as those who hold a pen!The imperial court uses literature to control military affairs, so it is better not to offend civil servants.There are a lot of these guys from the same year as former students and from the same hometown, and if they don't do it, they will trip themselves up.It's better to be polite.

"The old man will go back first." The magistrate turned around and left after speaking.

After the magistrate left, Bu Congshan gave an order.

"Fire!"

A hundred steps away exceeds the attack distance of bows and arrows, and can only be bombarded.It's just that firing artillery in this era is really a technical job. Those who can shoot well are all top-notch talents.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Missing two shots in a row, the regiment members of the Guards Battalion became nervous and rushed back to the camp surrounded by Qiu Tianxing.

At this time, Qiu Tianxing was a little annoyed by his actions. It was okay to persuade him to surrender, but he couldn't persuade himself.Of course, success will greatly increase one's reputation, but failure is also a very morale-destroying thing.

Chou Tianxing's face was very ugly when he came forward in person, but someone turned him back.

"After the city was conquered, all the Tartars in the city, whether they were generals or soldiers, were all incorporated into the battalion of dead soldiers." Qiu Tianxing thought viciously in his heart.

He decided to set up another battalion of dead soldiers. Every battle must be the first, and only after a narrow escape can be incorporated into the reserve battalion.This is for those enemies who are more determined to resist, and it is their punishment for resisting.

However, Qiu Tianxing fled with hundreds of people to restore the morale in the city, and gradually the Tartars became relieved.Maybe I can defeat the gangsters by defending the city, maybe?Slowly, the originally pale face turned rosy.

On the second day, the entire security regiment built siege equipment and formulated an attack plan.Because his army strength was ten times that of the city, Qiu Tianxing didn't want to encircle the three gates. He didn't even attack the small Ximen (Shuiximen) on one side, but only looked for the Daximen (Xipingmen) of Hefei City to attack.

On the third day, the siege began.

Boom boom boom!The passionate drums sounded, and then all the troops, except those guarding the camp, filed out according to their respective formations.Walked two miles away from the city and started to form a team.

Because there has already been a siege battle in Lu'anzhou City, most of the regiment members are quietly waiting for the battle.But there are also some who joined the security regiment from Lu'anzhou City. They have not gone through the siege battle. At this moment, their hearts are anxious and their hands and feet are numb.

The troops responsible for filling the river were the First Battalion of the Reserve. Under Qiu Tianxing's order, each brigade took turns carrying sacks filled with soil and rushed towards the moat quickly.Because the Tartars are condescending, it is not effective to cover them with shields, so the filling of the river depends on the suppression of firepower and the speed of going back and forth.The firepower of the headquarters is not enough to suppress, so it can only rely on speed.This is a race of life and death.

Braving the rain of arrows flying down from the sky and the non-stop artillery fire, the regiment members of the first battalion were running with all their strength.People kept being shot by the Tartars and fell to the ground, but as time went on, a section of road gradually took shape in the moat.The moat can't stop the enemy's attack, its role is only to kill the most.Generally speaking, those who filled the river were captured young men or civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers.

After the fifth battalion paid more than 1000 casualties, it finally filled in a section of the road.At this time, the tens of thousands of regiments preparing for the first battalion were already exhausted, and their vigorous running exhausted their whole body strength.The next battle can only count on the rest of the battalions.

"Go!" Zhang Chengwu, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, waved his hand, and the brigades behind him swarmed up with long ladders.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

"Long live the security team!"

All kinds of slogans were yelled loudly, as if yelling could strengthen courage and intimidate the enemy.

After approaching the moat, all kinds of blows came, and the regiment kept falling to the ground.Those who charged behind cleverly passed over the comrades who fell on the ground, and those who were dull were tripped and fell to the ground.

When the regiments rushed to a section of the road that had just been filled, the blow was even greater.The Tazi's Fran cannons and tiger squat guns also fired one after another, and the casualties increased rapidly.

Siege warfare is like this, and the defenders have this advantage.Only those who have survived the early casualties can approach the city wall.

When the brave regiments approached the city wall, long ladders were built up one by one.The group members with knives in their mouths showed fierce expressions, and quickly climbed up the long ladder.

At this time, the Tartars on the top of the city poked their heads out, and threw down all kinds of rolling logs and stones, and at the same time greeted vicious golden juice.

After being attacked by the Tartars, the regiments on the long ladder fell to the ground with screams, knocking down the crowd of regiments below.Of course, these outcropping Tartars did not end well either. The archers hiding in the crowd opened their bows and shot arrows one after another, and the dense rain of arrows shot these people to the ground one after another.Thus, the siege became a war of attrition.

Under normal circumstances, after an unfavorable attack, the attacker should withdraw its troops and reorganize the attack.But Qiu Tianxing didn't do this, he was going to crush the opponent to death with a huge force.

After the Fifth Battalion's offensive failed, the Seventh Battalion rushed forward with shouts.Hearing the whistle from the reinforcements behind, the regiment members of the Fifth Battalion cheered up one after another.Gathering all his strength to continue the attack, the stumped limbs and internal organs were flying in the air, and blood was gurgling on the ground.The hell-like scene should be incomparably horrifying, but when a person on the battlefield turns his eyes red, he will turn a blind eye to such a scene.

People will only fight to the death, you stab me with a spear, I will pay you back with a knife, until both sides die.When the aura comes up, nothing can resist it.

The sense of security originally brought by the city wall was rapidly disappearing. As the death and injury intensified, the Tartars who guarded the city gradually began to waver.

At this time, Qiu Tianxing sent out the Guards Battalion.He was going to take advantage of the siege general's troops to exercise well.Get rid of the chaff and keep the essence, get rid of the timidity and keep the courage, and practice hard for a while.It's just that the price of this military training is really huge, and countless lives will be lost by training in battle.

As a result, the fighting continued, and the casualties continued to increase.
