Chapter 43
The city guard sword chariot was originally used to block the city gate. Its function was that after the city gate was broken by a collision car, the city guard soldiers pushed the city guard sword chariot to block the broken city gate. Who would have thought that Li Laoer would use the city guard sword chariot directly on the top of the city? Seeing the Ming army surrendered soldiers pushing the ladder car onto the city wall, the horse thief immediately surrounded the ladder car with three city guard sword chariots, and arranged spearmen and three-eyed gunners to wait for the enemy to climb to the top of the city.
The most elite servant of the Ming army surrendered generals had just climbed up to the city and fell into the encirclement of the swords and chariots to defend the city. As a result, they were killed by three-eyed guns and spearmen without any effort.
The ladder truck was also burned by tinder oil and rockets. Ordinary ladders were easily attacked by wolf teeth and yaksha pellets. With the attack of gold juice and three-eyed gun bullets shot from both sides, it was almost impossible to reach the city. With the last ladder being smashed by yaksha pellets, the Ming army's surrendered army's round of attacks was declared failure.
Seeing the last ladder falling down, Jin Youguang had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw.
"Khan! Our criminal generals are incompetent! We cannot conquer the barbarian city, so please punish the Khan!" Jin Youguang, Fan Minliang and Jiang Jinqiao and three surrendered generals knelt in front of Huang Taiji to apologize.
"Get up quickly!" Huang Taiji walked down the platform himself and helped up the three surrendered generals. "The city ahead has a very strange shape! Ben Khan just observed carefully. The structure of such a city is very vicious! No matter which side of the attack, he will be shot and killed by arrows on three sides. The defenders are very good at defending. It is not a surprise that you and others who surrender to our Dajin!"
"Khan, let us recruit all the surrendered villagers from Hongshankou to help conquer the city!" Jin Youguang said.
Huang Taiji shook his head and opposed the continued attack: "No need! Our Dajin entered the capital of the Ming Kingdom this time, in order not to break through many cities, but to loot the population, food and property. Such a strange city does not need to attack again! General Jin, General Fan, General Jiang, and others led people to besiege this city to prevent the barbarians from leaving the city to harass our army! Ben Khan personally led people to Da'ankou! Our army must enter the capital as soon as possible, and it is best not to waste it here for a long time!"
"Zhe!" Jin Youguang, Fan Minliang and Jiang Jinqiao knelt down and beat him up.
As if he was worried that more than 2,000 Ming army surrendered to the horse thieves in the city, Huang Taiji turned around and ordered the two Mongolians, Dorji and Sonom, "Dorji Batulu! Sonom Batulu!"
"I will obey the order!"
"I will obey the order!"
Dorzi and Sonom stood up.
Huang Taiji nodded slightly to the two Mongols of Korqin: "You and the other two will lead two thousand soldiers in our headquarters to help General Jin watch the city so as not to leave the city and harass our army's retreat!"
"Zhe!" Dorji and Sonom knelt on one knee and beat him up.
Huang Taiji carefully explained to the five people who stayed there: "You are mainly siege. If the barbarians in the city do not leave the city, you must not attack the city rashly! This city is difficult to break! There is no need to lose the lives of the warriors in vain! My Khan left a large camp for you and others. You are bluffing in the camp, so that the barbarians in the camp should not let you know your actual troops!"
Jin Youguang, Fan Minliang, Jiang Jinqiao, Dorji and Sonom, the five men, led 4,000 Han and Mongols to stay and stared at the Li Laoer horse thief in the city. However, Huang Taiji personally led a 40,000 army and rushed to Da'ankou.
At the top of the city, Li Lao Er was taking his brothers to clean the battlefield. Eight surrendered Ming generals who had just climbed to the top of the city were killed at the top of the city. Li Lao Er took off the eight-petaled iron helmet from the body of a servant. He saw the newly shaved bald head shining brightly under the sunlight, which looked particularly dazzling. There was a small braid with a rat tail hanging on the back of his head.
"Look, these people were originally elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but now they have been cast into the Tartars and have shaved the rat tail of money. Such ugly hairstyles really have lost all the faces of their ancestors!" Li Laoer pointed to the bare head on the body of the Ming army surrendered soldiers and said angrily.
The Shanwen armor on the body of the surrendered generals was stripped off. Although the Shanwen armor was punched out by a three-eyed gun or pierced by a spearman, these armors were all exquisite armor and could still be used after repairing.
Many bodies of surrendered Ming soldiers were also lost under the city. Li Laoer ordered more than ten people to take the basket to go down the city, and take down the Shanwen armor and armor on the bodies of surrendered soldiers to take them back to the top of the city.
Although the purple-flowered armor on the bodies of the surrendered soldiers of the Ming army was not as good as the cotton armor pulled off from the Later Jin soldiers or the iron mountain-style armor pulled off from the surrendered generals, Li Laoer, who lacked armor, would not let go of these armors.
In a blink of an eye, the bodies of the surrendered generals and the soldiers who were killed at the city were stripped naked, and all the armor on their bodies was stripped down and sent to the hanging basket to transport back to the city.
Even the bodies of ordinary Ming army surrendered soldiers wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets were not spared. The horse thieves who got off the city carefully searched each corpse and searched away even a piece of copper on the corpse.
Li Laoer at the top of the city discovered that Huang Taiji's Khan's flag had moved. The main force of the Jin army left the camp in a mighty manner, probably attacking towards Da'ankou. When he discovered this situation, Li Laoer secretly said in his heart: Huang Taiji is indeed a hero of a generation. If he wanted to drag the Later Jin army under this small city, Huang Taiji suffered a little loss and stopped besieging him. Instead, he led the main force to continue to Da'ankou. It seemed that Huang Taiji would not be fooled at all.
"Jiannu has withdrew his troops!" Li Hong pointed at Huang Taiji Khan Banner, which was gradually moving away on the mountain road.
"Yes, they are unwilling to spend their troops and time on us! This is the power of the captain Huang Taiji! We destroyed the Shanxi merchant caravan and attacked the Jiannu scout cavalry. We also laid a castle behind their necessary path, targeting Huang Taiji everywhere. He could keep a calm mind and not be angry by our actions and spend time on us. He is indeed a powerful guy! Jiannu has such a powerful captain, which is an unfortunate thing for the Ming Dynasty!" Li Laoer sighed. Compared with Huang Taiji, Emperor Chongzhen and Lin Danhan were like two mentally retarded.
To put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a foolish monarch. Emperor Chongzhen was not bad, he was a good person, but only he was a good person. If he was not an emperor, he was a county magistrate, he would definitely be a qualified county magistrate; if Chongzhen was a prefect, he might be able to do it. Sadly, he only had the ability of a prefect at most, but he was an emperor.
"The military forces left by Jiannu should not be much in the camp. It is obvious that the remaining Jiannu guards are bluffing. As long as we go to steal the camp at night, we will succeed in one fell swoop." Li Hong pointed to the Jin army camp and said.
