Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 240 The First Attack and Defense

At this time, Yang Chao also issued an order: "Notify Li Wuliu, to destroy the shield car with all our strength, we can't let them fill up the river today."

Yang Chao knew that the captive soldiers would not be able to stop the river from being filled, but not today. Let them fill it up today, and they can fight at night tonight.

Fighting at night is not good for both sides, but Yang Chao feels that he has the advantage during the day, so if he can avoid fighting at night, he should try not to fight at night.

Li Wuliu received the order, and immediately asked the gunner to target the shield vehicle, and it was the same method. When the preparations were almost complete, the bird gun shot to suppress the shooter behind the shield vehicle, and then the tiger crouched cannon fired.

There was a bit of an accident this time. The captive shooters behind the shield car were indeed very experienced. After being suppressed by the bird guns in advance last time, they had already prepared this time, and they were almost ready. They were waiting for the bird guns to fire. As soon as the bird gunner showed his head, they hit it when they saw it.

It really caused some trouble for the gunners. One gunner was shot in the eye and died on the spot.

Except for the one who shot directly at the front door, the other bird gunners were not injured, because wearing iron armor, unless they directly hit a vital point, they can basically guarantee safety, but once they are shot, there is often no chance of rescue.

"Hit, give me a hard hit!"

Li Wuliu was also furious. The gunslinger was his precious lump. So far, he was the first to die in battle. He was injured before, but he was cured, but today one of his men was shot to death. , How can he not be angry.

As soon as the order was given, the tiger squatting cannons had already fired. Immediately, fifty beams of shield vehicles lined up by the river were thrown into the air by the tiger squatting cannons. Exposed to the blow of the bird gun, the bird gunners shot and killed one by one after reloading, killing more than a dozen more.

Once the shield chariot was destroyed, it was said that it could hinder the speed of the captive soldiers filling the river, but to Yang Chao's surprise, the captive soldiers did not stop.

He didn't even stop to change a batch of shield carts, just drove Bao Yi to push the wheelbarrow against the bird gun bow and arrow on the city wall to fill the river.

"It's really cold-blooded!"

Yang Chao couldn't help sighing, facing such casualties, Yang Chao felt that he couldn't be cruel now.

Yang Chao has lost about [-] soldiers so far, and his heart is already panicked. He feels that he brought these young men out, but he can't take them back and explain to their families, but the captive soldiers don't take human lives seriously. .

"Don't compassion command soldiers?"

Yang Chao couldn't help sighing, war is really not something that a person with a conscience can play, war is a social behavior that turns people into beasts, the relationship between a battlefield hero and a benevolent commander can only be a beautiful imagination, the two They cannot be combined, the benevolent coach can only be beaten into a bear, and the heroes should be left to those bastards, just like Wang Pu.

Yang Chao knew that he had to harden his mind and throw all the nonsense of humanization, caring spirit, etc. into the trash can. Now it is an ignorant feudal society, and he is on the front line of the most ruthless alien invasion, hesitant, sentimental, Love people, that is reserved for the leisurely entertainment of the wealthy class, it is too extravagant for oneself.

"Go and see what's going on in the east?"

Seeing that the captive soldiers can't stop the river from filling up the river in the south, Yang Chao is a little worried about the situation in the east, where many men are now in charge.

After Li Wuliu smashed the shield chariot to pieces, he concentrated on attacking the coated captive soldiers on the battlefield. The captive soldiers never sent new shield chariots, nor did they send new shooters to cover them. life in exchange for time.

The coatings fell one by one, and the moat tightened a little bit.

Although the moat is more than five feet long, it is too shallow, so even if it communicates with the Qiangwei River, the water flow is not fast, and even like a pool of stagnant water, it is impossible for the water flow to wash away the heavy sacks filled with sand.

Li Wuliu killed very happily, harvesting the coatings coming and going.

Driven away by the captive soldiers and fear, these coats were numb to each other, but with abnormal force, they were pushing the cart like crazy to transfer the soil bags.

The sky was getting darker and darker, the sun had already set, and a layer of corpses had already been laid by the river, which even affected the progress of the wheelbarrow.

The captive soldiers finally sent out a new shield vehicle, and under the cover of the shield vehicle, they collected the corpses, then pulled them to the river, threw them into the river, and used them as filling tools like sandbags.

Cremation is popular in Manchuria, but these coats are obviously not regarded as Manchurians, and it is not even certain whether they are human beings. They were plundered outside the customs like cattle and sheep, worked like cattle and sheep, and they still behaved like dogs. Loyal, and finally died tragically like a dog.

Yang Chao still couldn't regard these compatriots who had been plundered outside the pass as alien races, so killing these Baoyi made him feel very guilty, but it was impossible not to kill them.

But when I think about it, these people, after entering the customs with their masters in the future, will transform themselves and claim to enter the customs from the dragon, turn themselves into masters, and then trample their former compatriots under their feet, and use different methods to humiliate Han compatriots, Yang Chao I feel hateful again.

Why is this, are these people really innocent?

There are no innocents in war, either stand up and fight to the death together, or bear the humiliation together as slaves.

Yang Chao once again felt that he really couldn't tell right from wrong.

Seeing that hundreds of coated lives were finally exchanged for a passage leading to this side, Yang Chao knew that a fierce battle might really be unavoidable tonight, but the sullenness in his chest was suddenly released.

Shouted: "Isn't it just a dead person? A dead person is a dead person. If I die, I want to change his pair."

Suddenly, Yang Chao himself couldn't help but want to let the captive soldiers attack, and couldn't help but want to fight with the captive soldiers immediately, even if he had to pay the price of greater casualties for this.

In the night battle, I lost a lot, and the loss of the captive soldiers would not be small. Even if I fought for casualties, I would take advantage of occupying the city myself!
Yang Chao couldn't bear to see his own people die, a bastard would not care about his brother, a bastard would not care about life.

But when it is unavoidable, then let: "I'll be this bastard!"

……

Guoke breathed a sigh of relief. After enduring at least five times of tiger squatting bombardment, his cavalry team had lost 40 to [-] people and nearly a hundred horses. Now he can finally end this meaningless bombing and evacuate Went to the mountain to rest.

And another team of cavalry, more than thousands of people, was coming down from the mountain and passing Guoke. They were soldiers from Hilgen, one thousand of the most elite warriors in a hundred battles.

When Hilgen walked past Goko, he gave him a whistle, as if he could win if he led the cavalry to the city.

Guoke didn't think so, but he felt a little uncomfortable that Guoke could lead his troops to charge. He had been bombed for such a long time before he bought a road to the other side of the river. Why could this guy be the first? Go across the other side.

But Guoke was not very happy to let himself go, too many soldiers had already died, they were all precious people in the banner, if there were more casualties, it would be difficult to explain to the master.

Turg, who was in the middle of the mountain, saw Guoke slowly retreating, and saw Hilgen quickly passing through the simple road paved with blood. He also knew in his heart that cavalry could not rush into the city at once. We must cross the river, and let the Ming army know that their river cannot stop the Manchu warriors, and neither can their city.

As long as one's own fighters appear under the city wall today, it is a victory. As for whether they can kill people or attack the city, it doesn't really matter.

Compared with Yang Chao, Turge had a heart of indifference to life since he was born, because human life was really worthless in their place.

But human life is still useful, that is, it can be used for work.

It is precisely because of the arrest of millions of Ming people one at a time that Manchurians do not have to work on their own, and can enjoy the harvest in peace, and can concentrate on practicing martial arts, and then practice martial arts to rob.

So Turge finally ordered: "Let all the coat servants under the banner rest, and each will be rewarded with a catty of meat and a jug of wine!"

The subordinate said: "Master is really kind."

Soon those wrappers also happily thanked the master for his love for the slaves.

……

Yang Chao saw a group of captive soldiers, who were skilled in bows and horses, riding horses and shooting arrows at the same time, and they suppressed Li Wuliu for a while, and the musketeers couldn't lift their heads even when they wanted to shoot.

"Tell Li Wuliu, pay attention to observation, fight if you can, and let them ride on horseback if you can't fight, don't talk to them."

The cavalry is very powerful, and has a natural speed advantage over the infantry, and the captive soldiers are natural cavalry, but they can't ride directly to the city on horseback.

So Yang Chao knew that the captive soldiers who sent out the cavalry were not here to attack the city, but to harass, or to show off.

Li Wuliu was not a fool, he had already let his men hide under the wall, protected by a thick wall, not to mention the bows and arrows of the captive soldiers, even the tiger squatting cannon could not hurt them.

But Li Wuliu quietly poked his head out to have a look. He was extremely excited when he saw the captive soldiers roaring past in a long queue, pulling a long line, and yelling strangely on horseback.

Li Wuliu cursed fiercely in a low voice, because he felt that the captive soldiers were laughing at him, mocking him for not daring to stand up and fight them.

Knowing that the soldiers' tails flashed past them, and when they were approaching the Linqu Gate on the right under his feet, he suddenly stood up with a loud shout.

All the gunners stood up with him, aiming and firing simple movements, 99 guns, 99 explosions, 99 puffs of white smoke, leaving more than a dozen dead bodies.

The captive soldiers didn't expect that their tails would be pulled by someone, and they lost a dozen horses and horses. They crossed the south wall, but instead of turning to the west, they turned back and headed towards Linqu Gate.

They rode and shot back and forth on the wall on the left and right sides of the Linqu people, and no one dared to poke their heads under the suppressed city. Then they rode their horses, walked across the river, and retreated to the mountains.

Yang Chao was listening to his subordinates returning. The situation in the east was similar to that in the south. A section of the river was also paved, and they attacked harassingly.

Looking at it like this, Yang Chao felt that the captive soldiers might not make a strong attack today, so he immediately ordered the troops to withdraw, so that the soldiers should take the time to rest and deal with the next wave of more intense attack and defense.
