Blood from Daming

Chapter 397
Qiao Guoliang led Liu Mandun, Song Kui and the soldiers of the demolition team to put explosives into the large wooden cabinet that had already been built. Now at least one thousand catties of explosives were loaded into the large wooden cabinet. Feather arrows, stones, logs, lime, etc., the first attacking team led by Yan Laoyao used shields and wooden boards to cover the attacks on the city for the blasting team, and at the same time used bows and arrows to fight back against the Tartars on the city.

Qiao Guoliang, Liu Mandun, and Song Kui at the entrance of the city gate were still slowly arranging the gunpowder rope. The soldiers of the demolition team and the commandos who assisted in the work were still stacking the explosive packs. After a while, the big wooden cabinet was finally filled. After dispensing the explosives, Liu Mandun and Song Kui immediately closed the big wooden cabinet. By this time, the voices of the Tartars behind the gate of Taihe Gate could already be heard.

Qiao Guoliang immediately ordered the demolition team and commando team members to evacuate, personally ignited a whole cabinet of explosives, and then rushed out of the gate of Taihe Gate. After getting the news, Yan Laoyao quickly retreated with his dead and wounded commando team members. Go to the gate of Wengcheng City.

"boom"

This loud noise blew up the gate of Taihemen, and the whole tower of Taihemen was shaken. Bricks and stones kept falling from the top of the gate, and several defenders of the city stretched out too much. , was shaken off the city wall by the explosion, fell alive and struggled on the ground half dead.

The first attack team led by Yan Laoyao, about 500 people, ignored the attack on the tower, and rushed into the Taihe Gate with gunpowder smoke falling bricks and stones. Yan Laoyao's commando ignored the Tartars on the tower of Taihe Gate. , Attacked directly along the long street in Taihe Gate.

The second attack echelon is the Zuo Ming Department of the Xuejia Army Firearms Battalion, the main force, and ran along the direction of Yan Laoyao. Man Gui and Zhao led a thousand soldiers each to attack the gate tower of Taihe Gate. The main force of Gui Zongbing began to enter Taihe Gate, preparing to seize the North City Gate.

Lu Yaojin and Rao Guoying's troops also entered the Taihemen Urn City with Mangui's troops, and the battle on Taihemen Urn City was over, and most of the more than 100 Tartar soldiers inside were killed by the grenades deployed by Xue's army. , Dozens of people who were captured were also stabbed to death by soldiers of General Xiao Can and Liu Can because no one was willing to look after them.

Since there were bombers deployed by Xue Jiajun in the teams of Generals Xiao Can and Liu Can, they used folding ladders to climb up the walls of Taihe Gate from the walls of the East and West Urns under the bombardment of grenades. Niulu Ezhen of Taihe Gate is still unconscious after fighting. Confused, I don’t know where so many Ming soldiers came out, and the iron bumps with great explosion damage, in the short quarter of an hour between the Wengcheng was breached and the Taihe Gate was blown up, the Taihe Gate Niulu Ezhen flag Ding Zuo lost half of it.

Niu Luezhen of Taihe Gate has never encountered such a situation. There are Ming troops attacking the tower of Taihe Gate on all sides, and there are countless Ming troops swarming into Taihe Gate under the city. The Ming army was stunned and gave up commanding his Niu Lu to continue fighting. After a while, more than half of the Tartar bannermen on the tower were killed. Niu Lu'e probably knew that the situation was over, so he jumped off the tower of Taihe Gate with a loud cry. to the city.

Mao Yuanyi, who knows himself as a soldier, learned that Liaoyang Taihemen Wengcheng had been captured, and the gate of Taihemen had been blown open, so he couldn't bear the excitement any longer, regardless of the objections of Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Zhao Lijiao , Forcibly inserted into Mangui's team and entered the Taihemen Wengcheng. Just after joining the Wengcheng, he saw with his own eyes the Tartar's Niu Luerzhen jumped off the Taihemen tower and fell to his death.

Mao Yuanyi learned that the remnant enemies had been wiped out from the tower of Taihe Gate, Mao Yuanyi took Yu Anxing to the tower of Taihe Gate to approach and command the battle to occupy Liaoyang City, but Xue Polu refused Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing to enter the city from the main gate of Taihe Gate, and It was agreed that the two of them would go up to the Wengcheng first, and then go up the ladder between the Wengcheng and Taihemen city walls to the Taihemen tower, so as to avoid hurting Mao Yuanyi by the arrows in Liaoyang City.Yu Anxing is two.

At the gate of Taihe, Zhao led Jiao to follow Xue Polu and said, "Brother Polu, you are really good at it. Now that Liaoyang City has been destroyed, the other gates of Liaoyang South City are considering whether to send troops from outside the city to block the gates."

Xue Polu said: "Brother Zhao, there is no need. Even if there are tartars who open the city gate and escape, there is no need to chase them. Our dozen or so families in Liaoyang City are very short-lived, and the entire city is enough for our Liaodong Army to work on."

Zhao Lijiao said: "Brother Polu, you have taken a good look at Mr. Mao and Mr. Yu and went to the soldiers."

Xue Polu said: "Brother Zhao, you can rest assured."

At this time, the troops from Mangui had already passed by, and it happened that Zhao Ledjiao's former guards entered the Wengcheng. Zhao Ledjiao immediately integrated into his team. Bing, Zhang Sanzhu, Yu Dahui, Wang Ping, and Tao Yaofu also climbed up the Taihemen city wall from Wengcheng.

Xue Polu went up to the tower of Taihe Gate, and saw Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing standing in front of the window sill of the tower, looking at Liaoyang City wholeheartedly. Xue Polu also stood in front of the window sill of the tower and looked at Liaoyang City. Paint it all over again, only the shadows of torches are scattered where the Liaodong Army is advancing.

Xue Polu didn't understand what Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing were looking at in the dark city of Liaoyang. The guards beside Mao Yuanyi pulled their clothes several times before turning around, and walked towards Xue Polu apologetically.

Xue Polu saw through the torch that Mao Yuanyi, who was already blushing, now looked even more rosy under the light of the torch. Mao Yuanyi said excitedly: "The general of the Ming Dynasty is like adding wings to a tiger. In time, why worry about Jianlu's immortality."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "The last general is just a dangerous soldier, I really dare not be praised by Mr. Mao."

Mao Yuanyi said: "The general's destruction of Liaoyang City is enough to leave a name in history, and it also makes Jianlu dare not underestimate our Ming Liaodong army. It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan used it for himself, otherwise this Liaoyang City will be occupied by Ming Dynasty again."

The vanguard of Yan Laoyao turned to the east side of Andingmen to find the attack. It was under the rule of the former Liaodong capital, the commander-in-chief mansion and the deputy commander-in-chief mansion of the nine border towns. There gathered high-level, central military institutions and military The facilities are now also where the military organs and high-ranking officials and nobles of Jianlu Liaoyang City gather.

Yan Laoyao just turned around at Bell Tower Cross Street and headed towards Liaodong Dusi Street, two small streets away from the Drum Tower of Liaodong Dusi Street, when a large crowd of people rushed in front of him. From the looks of it, half of this small street was filled with these people, Yan Lao Yao knew without even thinking that this was the main force of Jianlu.

Youngest Yan shouted, "Do it."

After Yan Laoyao took the lead in throwing out a grenade, he dodged behind the pillars of the nearby shop. The soldiers of the Xue Family Army commando also threw grenades one after another, throwing them at the Tartars across the street in a continuous stream.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Countless grenades blew up the entire street like daytime, and the Tartars on the opposite side sprinted and collided with each other in the flames of the explosions. Tartars were constantly thrown into the air by the explosives, and then fell to the ground. Soon, the side streets were full of Tartars, most of whom were crying for their fathers and mothers, and the situation was very miserable.

Yan Laoyao didn't know that what he defeated was the largest mobile force of Liaoyang City Jianlu. The person in charge of Liaoyang City's defense was nominally Nurhachi's No. 15 son, Duoduo, who was in charge of it. , when this Mele Erzhen knew that something happened in Liaoyang City, he improvised a half-Jurchen Niulu, a Mongolian Niulu and nearly a thousand Jurchen near the Drum Tower to form an armed force to rescue the South Gate.

Unexpectedly, just after passing the Drum Tower, he turned into a shortcut to Taihe Gate and met a group of people on the opposite side.The leader, Mei Leerzhen, hadn't figured out whether the group of people were his own or the enemy, when he was stunned by a burst of grenades from the Ming army's Xuejia army commando led by Yan Laoyao on the opposite side.

Mailer really saw his 2000 troops blown upside down, and he knew that the Ming army had entered the city, and it was the elite Xue family army in the Ming army, because this kind of grenade is the iconic weapon of the Xue family army of the Ming Dynasty. In the flames produced by the explosion of the grenade, seeing that his men and horses suffered heavy losses, Mailer really had to order his men and horses to retreat to temporarily avoid the attack of Xue's army.

It was this round of attacks by the Xue family army that caused the loss of about [-]% of Meler'erzhen's troops. Although the lost [-]% of the warriors did not die, the half-dead ghosts and howling people lying on the street had become Merererzhen's men. The burden in their eyes, these people seriously hit the morale of the Jurchen warriors.

Mailer Erzhen quickly ordered his subordinates, Zuo Ling and Niu Lu Erzhen, to reorganize the attack, but unfortunately the queue of his subordinates had not yet been lined up. Bows and arrows, but many of the Tartars who came out to rescue in the middle of the night did not bring bows and arrows, and even the Tartars who brought bows and arrows were lost in the explosion just now when they ran away.

The Tartars under Mele Erzhen managed to shoot a hundred feathered arrows in the first round. Before they could draw the bow for the second time, they were covered by grenades all over the sky, followed by endless explosions. These Tartars Bing knew that he had once again entered that horrible hell on earth.
