I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 129 Under the Rewards, There Will Be Brave Men
"The city gate is not broken! The city gate is not broken!"

"It's the fire in the city, hold on, don't let them rush over!"

Seeing Zhang Hong shouting, the Ming army generals in the seventh fence quickly shouted to calm down their troops. As soon as they finished speaking, they were hit by a cold arrow flying from behind Zhang Anning.

Zhang Anning looked back and saw that Yue Tuo had arrived with five hundred white and red bagara.Behind them, flames shot into the sky, and there were sounds of gunfire, artillery, shouts of death, and screams.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the seventh column saw the enemy troops in large numbers and their morale was in chaos. They had already retreated a little and were unable to support themselves.

"Don't wander around, follow me, we are not the main force now."

Zhang Hong pulled Zhang Anning behind him, turned sideways and quickly blocked Ming Jun Xiaoqi's knife, and started fighting with him.

"You barbarians actually committed yourself to the Tatars. You have really forgotten who your ancestors are. You are heartless."

The little flag officer still had some skills and had a slight upper hand in the fight with Zhang Hong.

"It is better to surrender to the Tatars than to be exploited by you."

Zhang Hong naturally ignored him. Seeing that he couldn't defeat him, he summoned people without saying a word and asked Zhang Anning to come over and help.

Zhang Anning was about to go when he saw a Bai Baiyala coming towards him. The little flag officer was unable to cope with his four-handed fists. Zhang Hong took advantage of him not paying attention and slashed his thigh with a knife. He screamed in pain, his lower body became unstable, and Bai Ba Ya La seized the opportunity and hacked him to death.

"Hurry up, hurry up, there's too much delay here."

When Zhang Anning reacted, he saw that the middle of the seventh fence had been cleared, and only the two sides were still shouting. Now Yue Tuo had led people to rush to the eighth fence. Their mission of fighting the Han Chinese in the charging formation was completed. Now it's up to Yue Tuo and the others.

But after the fighting and blocking of the sixth and seventh fences, the eighth and ninth were closest to the city wall and were the first to hear the shouts inside the city wall. They had already reacted, hurriedly deployed their manpower, and had already begun to use the small holes on the fence. Cannon attack Yue Tuo and others.

Most of the artillery of the Ming army in Liaodong were Folang machine guns. Although they were not suitable for long-distance combat and had a high failure rate, they were fine for close-range combat.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"... "Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Zhang Anning looked at the fence in front of him. The sound of artillery and gunfire was loud, the fire was everywhere, and the thick smoke was rising.

"Don't stare. Guns and cannons have no eyes. White and red Bagara are all wearing triple armor or double armor. These muskets and artillery can't be broken by one or two attacks."

Zhang Anning sighed secretly. He had long heard that the imperial court's firearms were ineffective. Although there were many equipments, they had a high failure rate and were not very powerful. Sometimes they would not only fail to hurt the enemy, but would also explode their own people.

Even so, the sound of these fire cannons still hindered Yue Tuo and others from moving forward.

But they were not helpless. They asked people to collect the artillery in the Ming army's fence, picked up bows and arrows, and shot them, retaliating with teeth. At the same time, they picked up shields and moved forward to get close to the fence.

Seeing this, of course the Ming army would not let them succeed. They had thought of this when they first planned it. There were trenches in the middle of each fence. If they wanted to pass, they would have to fill in the trenches little by little, or pass through the only one foot wide. channel.

Now seeing Jianlu preparing to rush into the fence with his shield raised, a sentry immediately saw the opportunity and shouted:

"Quick! Quick, aim at the Jianlu with the shield raised, don't let them rush over."

It's just that the Franco cannons on the fence are all on the shield car, and the angle is difficult to adjust. The white and red Baya soldiers approaching are just in their blind spot, and they can't hit at all.

Seeing this, the Ming army could only shoot with three-eyed guns or quick guns.

The white and red Baya soldiers were all well-trained elite soldiers. At this time, they raised their shields and moved forward little by little. Behind them, Yue Tuo sent people to shoot arrows to cover them. Their armor was thick and they were not afraid of muskets.

Seeing that little effect was achieved, the sentry officer looked fierce and shouted:
"Ten thousand enemies? Where are the ten thousand enemies? Take it quickly, throw it down, and prepare to meet the enemy at the gate."

The so-called Ten Thousand Enemy is an incendiary firearm weighing eighty kilograms. This firearm is a hollow ball made of mud with small holes around it. It is dried and then filled with gunpowder and mixed with toxic substances.When the enemy attacks the city, light the fuse and throw it under the city. The flames will spray out in all directions and continue to rotate, burning the enemy.

Originally, the firearm could not be used because once it burned, it might spread to the fence and set it on fire.

But now I couldn't care about that much anymore. Soldiers immediately went to get them. In groups of two or three, they carried two up and put them aside to light them.

Looking at the Jianlu soldiers getting closer and closer, the sentry officer shouted:
"Quickly, throw it down. Then get off the fence immediately."

Ten thousand enemies were instantly ignited, and they were lifted up by several people and thrown down.

Yue Tuo, who was behind, saw the white and red Baya soldiers slowly approaching the eighth fence. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered to charge as soon as they arrived.

But two black shadows were suddenly thrown down from the fence. One hit hard in the middle of the Baya soldiers' formation, instantly crushing the three people. The formation was also scattered, and the other fell to their left.

Just as they were trying to see what it was, they heard a "squeaking" sound.

"No! Push them down the trench quickly."

But before they could make any move, the fuse had already burned into the enemy. The firepower was released instantly, like a burning bottle spinning in all directions.Although these Baya soldiers were wearing thick armor, most of them were made of cotton armor, which was the easiest to burn. When they encountered thousands of enemies burning beside them, many of them were also set on fire and began to scream and roll crazily, hoping to extinguish the flames, but None of this helps.

"Ah" "ah" "ah"...

Under the influence of two tens of thousands of enemies, half of the Baya soldiers who were the vanguard were turned into burning men, falling to the ground and wailing all over the field. Some people couldn't stand it anymore and even fell into a nearby trench. They were immediately staked. It's terrible to see it through the body.

When Yue Tuo saw this scene, his heart was bleeding. The Baya La soldiers were all elite soldiers. They did not die in battle, but they died in such a way. He immediately wanted to rush over to greet them, but was held back by Hu Shitun.

"Don't be anxious, Beizi. Just send someone to rescue them. This firearm is good for us. Look, the fence in front is also on fire. The Ming army has not gained. It will be easy for us to rush over later."

Yue Tuo took a closer look and saw that the eighth fence was indeed on fire. The figures of the Ming soldiers on the fence were shaking, probably carrying gunpowder to prevent them from being affected.

"Okay, I will be the leader later, and you will be the deputy. I will lead two hundred white and red Baya soldiers to rush in. We must rush in before Amma comes."

He knows that he doesn't like being called Daishan, so the more he is like this, the more he needs the help of military achievements.

Now the victory of conquering Shenyang is right in front of him, and he must not give up.

Not far away from him, Yang Lian inside the city wall felt bad after hearing the shouts outside the city. He quickly led Heshun and others up the city wall, and what he saw was the fire all over the place in the distance.

If Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, he would definitely feel that the fire was like an inverted triangle, and the closer to the city wall, the smaller the fire was.

"Look, sir, Jianlu has already rushed to the eighth fence."

At Heshun's reminder, Yang Lian took a closer look and found that there were flames on the eighth fence, and it was already starting to burn.

The defenders on the wall had regained their composure and began to attack Jianlu with the French cannons and rockets on the wall, but they were still not accurate. The wall was a little far away from the eighth fence, so the effect was very little.

Yang Lian took a deep breath, knowing that he must not mess up his position at this time, so he forced himself to calm down and asked:
"Which battalion is defending below? What is its combat strength?"

This gentle person was still familiar, so he responded immediately.

"The following is the Jing'an Camp. The general is Shao Tian. He was originally capable of fighting, but was caught off guard by a surprise attack on New Year's Eve. Now he is worried that the morale of the army will be unstable and urgently needs support."

"Are He Shixian and others here?"

"I sent someone half an hour ago. They should be here soon."

Yang Lian's expression changed violently when he heard this. Without saying a word, he turned to Heshun and said:
"Although we still have three fences, the eighth fence is already burning, and it seems that Jianlu is about to rush in. The tenth fence is under the city wall, and the situation is critical.

I'll send you over now, and hold on until General He arrives. They must not be allowed to break through the ninth fence, otherwise, Shenyang will be in danger! "

Heshun had thought of this a long time ago. He was He Shixian's servant, he was well treated, and he had a feud with Jurchen, so he would definitely not back down at this moment.

"Accept the order. Unless I die, I will not let Jianlu rush in."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I saw the right person, so I'll leave it to you."

Yang Lian said "good" three times and immediately made a promise.

"Now there are some defenders in the city. You can go over to support some of them first. After the battle is over, I will personally report to the emperor and ask for your merit!"

Heshun had a look of determination on his face. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he seized it, there would be hope for revenge in the future.

So he bowed his hands, led his ten tribes and more than a hundred defenders and quickly got off the city wall and rushed out of the city.

Seeing Heshun leaving the city, Yang Lian did not stop and kept thinking. The most important thing now was to stabilize the morale of the army. If the morale of the army was chaotic and morale dropped, there would be no need to fight.

So he gave him the only three remaining imperial guards and said:
"Immediately send someone to find Lu Guangguo, a member of the Jinyiwei family, and ask him to immediately lead people to keep an eye on the Liaodong clan and the Mongolian soldiers in the city. If there is any movement, immediately notify the garrison and kill them without mercy!"

Immediately, a royal guard took the order and left.

As soon as the matter was over, Yang Lian asked the remaining two people not to guard the left and right, and quickly notified the soldiers on the city wall, asking them to shout together, "Reinforcements have arrived. Kill the captives to get a reward of silver. The imperial envoy has an order, and you can get 30 taels of silver for each person killed. For general officers, double the amount, 20 taels for injury, and 50 taels for death in battle! It will be paid tomorrow, and there will be no arrears!"

Yang Lian knew that it was useless to just send people to resist. Now that the defenders were attacked rashly, they were in a panic and were at a loss. If they went directly to engage the enemy, they would die. The best way to boost morale was to give money.

So under Yang Lian's instructions, the defenders on the city wall began to shout.

After the words reached the tenth and ninth fences, the general immediately knew what he meant, and immediately asked his soldiers to shout!
Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
