Blood from Daming

Chapter 379 City Wall
Just after dawn the next day, Jierhalangbeile commanded his subordinate Erlang to start attacking Youtun. About [-] Jianlu surrounded the whole city of Youtun on all sides, and Jierhalangbeile sent [-] Jianlu to monitor the west. In the barracks taught by Zhao, Jierhalang led a thousand Jurchen cavalry to meet him in the center near the west gate of Youtun.

Jierhalangbeile and his Jianlu subordinates hated the officers and soldiers of Youtun to death. It is inevitable for the two armies to fight and die. It is too cruel for a few big people to resist and enter the city, and it also insults the dignified Dajin Kingdom.

Jierhalang gave the order to massacre Youtun, and almost all the Tartar soldiers were very excited. Thinking about entering Youtun, thinking about those gold and silver female servants made every Tartar soldier blood boil, As soon as Jierhalangbeile gave an order, everyone began to attack the city.

Jierhalang had observed the situation of the city of Youtun a long time ago. The north wall of Youtun was obviously much taller and stronger, but there were many incomplete or repaired traces on the south and east and west sides. Jierhalang focused on attacking It was placed at the south gate and west gate of Youtun. As for the support of the Xue family army in the east, Jierhalang had some concerns. He didn't want to stimulate the nerves of the Xue family army too much, so he adopted a plan to monitor the Ming army enterprises in the east gate to support the attack on the south gate. .

Jierhalang ordered the attack on Youtun to begin. The north gate and east gate of Youtun each had three Niulu in feint attack, while the west gate and south gate each had five Niulu in the main attack. Ximen Xianglan Banner Modli Niu Lu Erzhen led the headquarters to grab the city first, and he was able to resist thirty sets of simple ladder charges with just one Niu Lu.

Modli Niu Luerzhen took his three hundred Jurchen warriors and ventured through the [-]-step blockade of the Ming army in Youtun. The Ming army in the city released three rounds of feather arrows, but unfortunately the power was not enough. There were only five or six Jurchen Tartars. The child was injured, and the whole Niulu was close to the west wall of Youtun, and the Jurchen warriors erected simple ladders one after another.

Niu Luerzhen of Modly immediately ordered his men to climb the city along the simple ladder, and Modly's son Lang started to climb the city without hesitation, and the logs and limestone fell from the top of the city, and one of the logs fell on the shoulder of a tartar. Because the smash was right, half of the tartar's body stepped into the abdominal cavity, and it was impossible for people to live.

Three of Modly Niulu's men died and more than a dozen were injured after a meal of rolling lime, but Modly Niulu's Jurchen soldiers had already climbed to the opening of the city wall along the simple ladder, and the Ming army on the city used flying hooks Pull up the ladder so that the tartars have six ladders hanging in the air, and the Ming army on the city patted the tartars on the ladders with their maces.

Hanging in the air, the Ming army couldn't help slapping the towers on the city with their nail-covered spikes. The Tartars on the ladder fell to the bottom of the city one after another. More than a dozen Tartars were killed and injured at once, and the Tartars on the other ladders were not much better. , the scalding hot water poured down on the city wall, and the Tartars on the ladder were so scalding that they either fell into the city or flinched.

Seeing that his entire offensive was about to fail, Niu Luerzhen Modly shouted angrily: "Boys, go with this arrow master."

Niu Luerzhen Modli jumped up a pair of ladders at once. Modly's move not only led a group of new forces to attack the city, but also made those tartars whose equipment retreated from the ladder regain their courage to continue to attack the city wall. It was climbing, and the battle for the city wall suddenly became extremely fierce.

Finally, the first Tartar climbed up the city wall, Luqiang, and was lifted into the air by two spears of the Ming army as soon as he stepped on one foot, and then fell heavily into the dust below the city.

Then the second Tartar who climbed up the Lu wall took down the saber in his right hand and leaped into the Ming army's city wall. This created a defensive vacuum on the surrounding soft ladders, and the Tartars behind also took the opportunity to go up to the right camp. Lu Qiang, chaos immediately appeared on the city.

Belzierhalang was about a mile outside the west gate of Youtun, watching his Jurchen warriors attack the city. Jierhalang attacked the city from all sides, using a total of more than [-] Niulu troops, but he didn't think about it. Taking Youtun, an important military base of the Ming army, this first round of attack is actually just an appetizer.

Who would have thought that Modri ​​Niulu, who was the first to climb the western city wall of Youtun, successfully climbed the city wall of Youtun after paying a small price, and more than a dozen Jurchen warriors had entered the Ming army's Inside the city wall, Belezirharan was inexplicably excited at this moment, his body and even his palms were wet with sweat.

Jierhalang saw that Niulu Erzhen Modli also went up to the city wall. Jierhalang was overjoyed when he saw it. Maybe this first attack might break the city of Youtun. Bellezierhalang knew Youtun Whether it can be broken is at this moment, so Belezir Harang ordered Niulu at the south gate and west gate to quickly follow up to climb the city or support with bows and arrows.

Niu Luerzhen Modli jumped onto the horse path in the city wall, and quickly scanned the situation on the city wall. A dozen of his sons were fighting with more than 100 Ming army officers and soldiers. Officers and soldiers, the Ming army has almost no effective defense in this section of the city wall.

"Clang"

A general flag of the Ming army rushed up to attack Modri ​​with a sword more than ten feet in length. Modly took a step back to let the general flag of the Ming army strike. Too late, he quickly dropped the knife and retreated, but unfortunately he was half a step too late, one of his left arms was severed, and at that time the general flag of the Ming army collapsed in pain, and he slammed his head against the city wall and passed out.

Modly stepped forward to end the life of the Ming Army General Banner. At this time, two Ming Army soldiers held Modly with long guns. Modly had to abandon the Ming Army General Banner. With his left hand, he held the long spears of two Ming soldiers, and then he followed the trend, and with his right hand, he swung the saber and slashed out with the momentum of thunder.

"click" "click"

One of the two Ming soldiers had their heads cut off, and the other was split in half. Modly's ferocity frightened the five or six Ming soldiers who came to reinforce the city wall from the horse road and retreated involuntarily.

When Zhou Shoulian, the general guarding the right village, came to the west wall, there were already more than 30 Tartars on the city wall, and his men were basically defeated. If the situation on the city wall was not controlled in time, the right village would soon be It fell, and he and his officers and soldiers took the blame for Xue's army. Once the right village is destroyed, it may be difficult to escape the danger of massacring the city.

Zhou Shoulian, the general of the Right Tun, said to the five hundred private soldiers and one thousand officers and soldiers he had brought with him: "Go and kill the Tartars, 50 taels of silver per head, cash it immediately and never default on it, go ahead."

General Zhou Shoulian took the lead to rush over after shouting. The private soldiers and officers and soldiers around Zhou Shoulian rushed forward like a tide. General Zhou Shoulian took the opportunity to slow down a few steps, and gradually fell behind the Ming army. He was escorted by personal soldiers to a safe place to watch the battle.

Niu Luerzhen Modli has already killed more than a dozen soldiers of the Ming army, and the big knife in his hand is already curled up. Of the fifty Jurchen warriors who came up to the city wall, more than a dozen have fallen on the horse path of the city wall. However, Modly did not find that there were Jurchen warriors going to the city elsewhere on the Youtun city wall, so Modly could not help leaning against the city wall and looked outside the city.

Modli's Niulu's soft ladder was overthrown by the Ming army defending the city. Now there are more than a hundred Jurchen soldiers under Modri's who can fight, and these people are desperately climbing up the city. There was still a distance, and Modly looked at more than 1000 Ming army officers and soldiers pouring in from the south and under the city, feeling a little regretful that he went up the city wall recklessly.

Just when Modri ​​was hesitating and regretting, five or six Jurchen soldiers climbed up from his city wall, which made Modri's blood a lot higher, but at this time the crossbow arrows of the Ming army also shot over, Modly and his Jurchen soldiers Blocking left and avoiding right, after a while, two soldiers were still hit by arrows.

Modly felt that going on like this was not an option, and seeing that there were more than 50 people behind him, he shouted loudly: "Boys, kill all these poor sheep, the banner owner and Lord Baylor will definitely reward you heavily, kill them. "

What Modri ​​meant was to rush into the middle of the Ming army, so that the Jurchen soldiers would not be injured by the arrows of the Ming army like locusts, and the hand-to-hand combat on the city wall would make the Ming army unable to fully use their hands and feet. Young Jurchen soldiers are the most beneficial.

Modly rushed into the crowd of the Ming army, wielding a big knife with a burst of crazy sword skills, killing the soldiers of the Ming army. In the blink of an eye, Modly cut down seven or eight soldiers of the Ming army. However, there are too many officers and soldiers of the Ming army. After more than 50 officers and soldiers fell, the lives of six Tartars were saved.

The tide of Ming army officers and soldiers almost crushed Modri's men, and seven or eight soldiers of Modri's men in the north also died, but the fierce Jurchen soldiers still exchanged the lives of sixty or seventy Ming army soldiers. Then there were about 80 Jurchen soldiers who came up, and they were compressed into a horse path that was only about ten feet long.

Both Modly and the Ming army had no room for maneuver. The two sides were almost like white knives going in and red knives coming out. Although the Jurchens were very brave, such a war of attrition could not show their true skills. Many Jurchen soldiers were killing several people in a row Afterwards, the soldiers of the Ming army watched themselves being killed by the cowardly soldiers of the Ming army because of the difficulty of dodging in the narrow area.
