Chapter 721
Under the closed wall, the archers of the Qing army hid behind a wooden wall one person high, making it impossible for the defenders on the city to shoot them directly.

The archers of the Qing army lined up in five rows behind the wooden wall, pulled the bowstring in their hands into a circle, pointed the arrow obliquely, and shot a wave of arrows in a uniform movement.

Amidst the sound of strings, arrows soared like locusts, and the sky was darkened.

The archers of the Qing army did not need to aim. They hid behind the wooden wall and covered the city with arrows by virtue of their superiority in numbers.

Waves of arrows fell like raindrops, and the arrows jingled and landed on the top of the city. The defenders kept howling with arrows and were dragged away by the medical officer team.

The Qing army had a large number of arrows, and the arrows were like rain, which made the defenders unable to raise their heads. Naturally, the Wei soldiers who were at a disadvantage could not shoot at the Qing army. , Shoot and kill the approaching Qing army sword shielders, or shoot a row of firecrackers when the artillery smashed the Qing army's wooden wall at the top of the city, exposing the Qing army archers behind.

At this time, the swords and shields of the Qing army rushed to the pass like a tide, and the soldiers were scattered like ants.

As the climbing ladder climbed the city wall, the Ming army hiding behind the wall had to give up archery. Many soldiers took up their spears and raised rolling stones to fight back.

The soldiers of the Qing army climbed up quickly with their shields on their hands. Just as a soldier of the Qing army stood on the city wall, two spears stabbed at the same time, piercing the abdomen of the Qing army, and his body fell down the city wall.

However, just as the soldiers of the Wei army closed their guns, another Qing army jumped onto the top of the wall again.

Seeing the Qing army climbing up the wall, Gao Chenghu slashed out, slashing the Qing army's chest, and then kicked fiercely, jumped onto the towers on the top of the wall, then fell down the top of the wall with his head down, and let out a mournful moan. scream.

There was a muffled "bang", and the screams stopped abruptly. The Qing army hit the ground heavily, their brains burst, and a circle of loess splashed around the corpse.

"Throw off the ladder!" Gao Chenghu roared angrily, brandishing his knife.

After finishing his speech, he picked up a long log, and several soldiers hugged the back end in a hurry, and hit the siege ladder together.

There are barbs on the siege ladder. After hanging on the city wall, soldiers cannot overturn it. Only by bumping and dragging the iron hook can the ladder be pushed down.

"One, two, three, hit!" Changmu slammed into the climbing ladder violently. After a few hits, the hook flew off. Changmu pushed the ladder outward, and saw the ladder slowly leaving the wall. The Qing army on the ladder exclaimed. As he fell, the long ladder toppled over, injuring a piece of the Qing army.

At this moment, a hand soldier raised a stone again and threw it down the ladder, smashing the Qing soldier who had climbed halfway down the long ladder. However, at the moment when the stone was thrown out, an arrow shot at him. , The defender who was still maintaining the posture of throwing stones was hit by an arrow in the chest, and immediately fell down the city screaming.

For a while, both the Wei army and the Qing army suffered huge casualties. Although the Qing army had a large number, the Wei army, relying on the advantage of defending the city, threw thunder from time to time, splashing boiling hot oil and golden juice, inflicting huge damage on the Qing army.

Aobai stood in front of the pass on horseback, saw the defenders on the city resisting tenaciously, and waved his hand, "Mulima, you go!"

"Zha!" A general in yellow armor immediately came out to salute, it was Oboi's sixth younger brother Jiala Erzhen Murima.

In the formation of the Qing army, nine hundred yellow-armored real Manchurians poured out, armed with a battering ram, and forced towards the pass.

Man Qing often boasted that he was unparalleled in riding and shooting. In fact, the hunters born in the white mountains and black waters were also good at foot combat, and they were quite fierce.

People in the Central Plains live affluent lives and have families and businesses. Few people are willing to fight to the death. But these Tartars are different. If you don't grab it, your life will not be guaranteed, so the desire for war is strong.

Although Manbing has already lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, and Banner soldiers have become slave owners. There are Banner slaves who farm for them, so that they can live a life of not having to produce, but their clothes are used for their food and their mouths are opened. It was fierce and brutal, but it didn't disappear immediately, and it wasn't completely corrupted yet.

The second generation after entering the customs may not be able to do it, but the soldiers who entered the customs from outside the customs are still fierce.

Nine hundred yellow armored soldiers, under the cover of arrows, quickly approached the city wall.

It has only been four years since I entered the customs, and the barbaric spirit of the mountains and fields is still in Manchuria's bones. Don't run down the ladder to the city like your life.

At this time, Zhenyuan Pass was like a dam, and the Qing soldiers were like a raging flood peak, beating the dam non-stop, trying to break out.

With the addition of Huangjiazhen Manchuria, the pressure on the defenders increased greatly. A large number of Qing troops climbed onto the city wall and began fierce close combat.

These barbarians outside the pass did not rely entirely on the blood of beasts, they did not mean life or death, but because they were superbly skilled, wore double armor, believed that others could not hurt them, and believed that they could win, so they were extremely brave.

On several closed walls, real Manchurians kept rushing to the top of the city, and were constantly killed by the tenacious and heroic Wei army. The two sides were fighting to the death.

Beside Gao Chenghu, the brigade commander was finally pierced through the abdomen by a saber, but his body exploded with astonishing strength, he suddenly hugged the yellow armored soldier who stabbed him, and fell off the wall together.

After the battle lasted for an hour, corpses piled up at the city gate. The general who directed the attack, Murima, shouted, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, stepped on the piled corpses, and climbed up the suspension bridge. , the saber cut the rope, and the moat bridge crashed down.

More than 50 Qing soldiers immediately hugged a three-foot-long giant log, and under the protection of shield bearers, they violently hit and closed the door.

With a loud "boom", the giant wood slammed into the city gate, and the closed soil slammed down, causing the city to tremble slightly.

The Ming Dynasty was bankrupt for more than ten years, and all the money was spent in Liaodong. The Great Wall had long been in disrepair, and it would not take long for the city gate to be knocked open.

Gao Chenghu chopped down a Tartar with one knife, and immediately shouted, "Firing pot, thunder!"

There was a loud "boom", and a thunderbolt exploded before closing the door, blowing up the Qing army holding a giant tree, and a cupping pot fell on the top of the city, and a raging fire ignited immediately before closing the door.

The Manchurian Murima was furious, and the strength of the Wei army was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Originally, both he and Aobai thought that they could take the pass with a single charge, and they didn't want to lose more than [-] people, but they still haven't passed the pass.

This made him admire General Wei who was guarding the gate. When he saw a General Wei who was in command behind the closed gate, he couldn't help pointing his knife at the top of the wall, and shouted angrily, "Barbarian, surrender now, I will protect you from death!"

Gao Chenghu's eyes were already red-eyed. He heard the generals shouting under the closed door, and immediately said angrily: "My great Wei clan, how could we surrender to the Tartars! Brothers, shoot Guisun to death!"

Several soldiers of the Wei army immediately shot a wave of arrows under the city, causing Murima to stagger and sit on the ground while retreating.

Murima was furious instantly, "After breaking the level, Ben will cut you!"

Seeing that he missed the shot, Gao Chenghu was about to tell his subordinates to shoot again, when suddenly an arrow shot from under the wall, Gao Chenghu's expression changed drastically, he wanted to hide but it was too late, the arrow shot directly through his left shoulder, causing him to back up Hit the building.

"Captain!" The guards all exclaimed.

At the foot of Guancheng, Oboi, who was riding on a horse, drew his bow and ordered loudly, "Archers suppress the Guanlou, and the infantry go up again, and slam the gate."

A wave of arrows rained down on the Guanmen, and the arrows were nailed on the Guanlou. The Wei army on the city immediately fell, and the guards immediately used shields to protect the injured Gao Chenghu.

The Qing army under the city quickly covered the fire with cowhide. Dozens of Qing soldiers picked up the logs again and hit the door one after another. The closed wall trembled violently. The soldiers were knocked up and down like waves.

With a sound of "click", the crossbar behind the door was finally broken, and the Qing army below the city let out a beast-like roar, charging in, and killed the city with the Wei army in the door opening.

Soldiers of the Qing army poured into the pass like a school of fish. Hundreds of wounded Wei soldiers with arms dangling and bandaged rushed to the closed gate with knives and guns. Hundreds of wounded soldiers shouted in despair, "Kill the Tartars! Fight!"

The veins of the soldiers of the Wei army were bulging, and they fought desperately with the Qing soldiers at the gate. The closed gate was broken, and the Zhenyuan Pass had fallen.

One by one, Wei soldiers fell in a pool of blood. The defense of Zhenyuan Pass quickly disintegrated. There were only a few people around Gao Chenghu.

Murima, a full-fledged general with a ferocious face, rushed up to the wall with densely packed Qing troops, and surrounded Gao Chenghu with swords in a half circle. panic.

"Barbarian, don't surrender yet!" Murima shouted ferociously.

"I am the clan of the Great Wei!" Gao Chenghu smiled bitterly, and suddenly threw the torch in his hand to Guanlou, then wiped his sword on his neck, and cut his throat open, blood gushed out like a spring, and he fell to the ground and died~
