Early the next morning, the wind and snow had stopped, and the rising sun hung high in the sky, reflecting circles of golden halo on the snow-white earth!
Liu Ruyi stood high above the city, staring closely at the Qing army formation not far away!
At this time, the originally rolling military tents stretched out towards the east, blocking out the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see the edge. Obviously, Dorgon's vanguard troops had arrived!
According to the information from shopkeeper Zhang Da, the main force of Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner came out this time, plus the elite troops of Xiangbai Banner, Lianghuang Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner, as well as dozens of Mongolian tribesmen.
Cavalry and North Korean vassal soldiers, Dorgon's total strength is close to 50,000!
At this time, including Liu Ruyi's 3,000 soldiers, the more than 600 Denglai soldiers guarding the west city, and the various servants and servants in the city, the total force in Jinan City was only 4,000.
In the beginning, the difference between the two sides was a dozen times!
If 4,000 Manchu elites defeated 50,000 Ming troops, this~ seems to be a normal thing. However, if we want to use 4,000 Ming troops to defeat these 50,000 wolf-like and tiger-like Manchu warriors, this~,
This is almost an impossible task!
You must know that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has developed for nearly twenty years from the founding of the country to the present. They have made great progress in all aspects. At this time, they are at the peak of their military power. Dorgon, Duduo
, Haoge, Azig, Abatai, Yuetuo, Aobai, etc.~ Wait, almost everyone can be regarded as a famous general in the world! If they are determined to capture a city, almost everyone in the world will
No one can stop me anymore~~!
Liu Ruyi's face was cold and expressionless. Although Liu Ruyi had been working hard for several years to cope with this moment, he still felt a sigh of relief in his heart!
Fifty thousand elite Qing troops are not fifty thousand sheep! Even if Liu Ruyi has five hundred years of experience and is familiar with the past and present, how should the city be defended now?
"Brother, brother, I have brought all the things here!" At this time, Pu Sheng led hundreds of soldiers, escorting nearly a thousand people, and slowly gathered inside the city wall!
Liu Ruyi looked up and saw more than a thousand civilians, each of whom was carrying a variety of earthen jars, piled up in an orderly manner on the inside of the city wall. It was Liu Ruyi's treasured treasure - "Kaishan Lei"
!”
"Brother, thank you for your hard work! This time, we are afraid we will have to fight with these bastards for our lives!" Liu Ruyi said coldly, pointing to the large Qing army tent outside the city that blocked the sky and the sun.
Pu Sheng frowned and didn't speak for a long time. Obviously, even Pu Sheng, who was born in Liaodong, rarely sees such big scenes!
However, after all, Pu Sheng was a strong man who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and sea of blood. He spat disdainfully in the direction of the Qing army's tent outside the city and said loudly: "Brother, let alone fifty thousand Qing soldiers, even if they are here,
Hundreds of thousands, so what? If you die, you will die for thousands of years! If you want to swallow our territory, it depends on whether they have such good steel teeth!"
"Okay! Well said!" Liu Ruyi praised, "Brother, I am also looking forward to fighting side by side with you again!"
At this moment, inspiring military morale is more important than anything else. Pu Sheng's words also made Liu Ruyi feel relieved!
Killing one is also killing, killing a hundred is still killing, killing ten thousand is still killing!
Since they are seeking death, Liu Ruyi has no choice but to do what is right for heaven, the beauty of adulthood!
"Bring all these treasures here and take good care of them! If these bastards dare to come here, I will make sure they never come back!"
………………
At this time, in the main formation of the Qing army, Dorgon's tent had been set up, and Duduo was approaching Dorgon, reporting in a low voice the situation of the siege in the past few days!
Dorgon listened patiently to Duduo's words, and was a little surprised in his heart, "Fifteenth brother, are you saying that this Ming army's firearms are so sharp that they can defeat the elite archers of my Eight Banners?"
"Exactly! Brother! Those firearms that Ming Gou got from nowhere! Not only the range is extremely far, far beyond our archers, but there is almost no gap between them. Even Yabahai, he, he
He suffered a big loss and was killed by the Ming army!" Although Duduo was a little unconvinced, in front of Dorgon, he did not dare to hide anything and told the truth!
Dorgon nodded slightly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "These despicable Han people are just hiding in turtle shells. Don't worry, fifteenth brother! I will fulfill your long-cherished wish! Rao!"
Yu Beile, do you dare to be my vanguard in this battle?"
After Dorgon finished speaking, he looked at Abatai standing aside with a smile!
Abatai quickly knelt down on one knee, "Thank you very much, Prince Rui, for your love. Abatai is willing to be Prince Rui's pawn!"
"Okay! I'll give you 3,000 elite soldiers. Take a rest and attack the city immediately!"
"yes!"
………………
Half an hour later, the Qing army's formation opened an opening, and three thousand Manchu elites came out, charging toward the North City of Jinan with great momentum!
Watching Abatai lead his troops away, Duduo said with some confusion: "Brother, why don't you let those Mongolians and Koreans go up first? I'm afraid, I'm afraid, Seventh Brother will suffer a loss like this!"
Duduo has obviously left a shadow, and now he has become cautious!
Dorgon smiled and patted his shoulder, "Fifteenth brother, I have a sense of your worries! No matter how strong the Ming army is, it is just the courage of one person. How can it compare with the elites of our Eight Banners? Rao Yubeile's experience
He has fought hundreds of battles and has rich experience. As long as he can sharpen the spirit of these Ming troops, then this city will naturally collapse without attack!"
Duduo thought about it for a long time and couldn't help but extend his thumb and praised: "My brother is so wise~!"
………………
"Get ready~~~, let go!!!" As the commander shouted, dozens of bucket-sized thunderbolts poured down from the city wall!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang like thunder, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Countless Qing soldiers were turned upside down by the bombardment, and were killed and injured!
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly. Maybe it was God's will. The heavy snow stopped today. If it were still as huge as yesterday, it would be really dangerous!
But at this time, Liu Ruyi did not dare to be careless at all. He shouted loudly to his soldiers and civilians, and kept carrying the mountain thunder forward to maintain the continuity of the explosion and never let the Qing army rush to the city!
Yesterday, the Qing army was just a small-scale test, and Liu Ruyi could still test and respond!
But today, it's obvious that Dorgon is serious about it, and Liu Ruyi doesn't want to have a head-on confrontation with him!
At this time, more than 2,000 soldiers had gathered on the top of the city, and almost a thousand musketry soldiers came out in full force. There were also 700 to 800 spearmen stationed at the mansions of the Qi family and Liu Jianwu not far from the city.
In the house, as long as there is a slight mistake, reinforcements will be available at any time!
"Open the mountain thunder, release!!!"
"Open the mountain thunder, release~~~~!"
"Let it go! Let it go~~~! Let it go..."
The commander roared hysterically, and the mountain-opening mines filled in earthen jars were like dense artillery shells, constantly blooming in the Qing army's battle formation. The originally white snow under the city had already been dyed blood red!
The pure white snow and the bright red blood are so bright and dazzling under the sunlight!
………………
Although Abatai was well prepared, he was temporarily stunned when faced with Liu Ruyi's "three-dimensional" bombing, which was carried out almost regardless of the cost!
‘Are these Ming soldiers crazy? Don’t they need money for these firearms?’ Abatai was secretly shocked~~!
Among the Ming armies Abatai encountered in the past, firearms were generally only for intimidation. Except for the dozen or so red cannons in Shenyang City back then, Abatai had never seen anything like this!
"Rao Yubeile, the warriors have suffered heavy losses, but they can't get close to the city wall at all. Let's, let's think of other ways!" Niu Lu Zhangjing, who had already seen the miserable state of the Qing army under his command, knelt down beside Abatai and begged.
Although Abatai also feels sorry for the lives of his warriors, at this moment, Abatai's mind will become calmer!
He could see that the Ming army on the city was just trying to hold on. As long as the Qing army could survive this round of firepower, these despicable bastards would become the "fat meat" of the Qing warriors!
"Don't be anxious! Press on, keep pressing on! I want to see what these Ming troops are capable of!" Abatai sneered.
………………
At this time, in the Qing army's formation, Dorgon was paying close attention to the situation near the city wall!
He was also a little surprised when he saw that one by one the Manchu warriors were being deceived into cannon fodder before they even got close to the city wall!
The Qing Dynasty conquered the world with cavalry and archery. Faced with such 'advanced' firearms from the army, Dorgon saw it for the first time!
"Brother, this, this, the warriors suffered heavy casualties! If not, let's go to Pinggu, deploy some red cannons, and attack the city again!" Although Duduo has a bad temper, he is not a "shaft". Seeing that the Qing army was defeated at this time, he began to want to retreat in his heart!
Dorgon could not deny it and did not express his position. He just stared at the situation below the city!
………………
"Bang~bang~bang~!" There was another crisp round of gunshots. Those Eight Banners soldiers who had just climbed up the city wall and had not yet had time to raise the steel sword in their hands were shot down again from the city wall, fiercely. He fell under the city more than ten meters high, wailing and screaming incessantly!
In less than half an hour, before even a few people could climb the city wall, Abatai's tribe had already suffered nearly a thousand casualties!
How can Abate accept this?
His face was ashen, he took out the sword from his waist, rushed to the front of the Qing army in person, loudly ordered his warriors, and kept attacking the city head!
Although Abatai is just a concubine who is not favored, he is the one with the richest war experience among the Nurhachi bloodline. The mountain of corpses and the sea of blood cannot scare him, but instead arouse the bloodshed in his heart!
At this time, a low sound of antlers was suddenly heard in the Qing army's formation, which was a signal to withdraw. Abatai glanced at the city wall angrily. Apparently, he had not been able to climb the city wall for nearly an hour. , he was extremely unwilling!
But he did not dare to disobey Dorgon's order. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout to his followers: "Let's withdraw the troops for the time being!"
