The deafening sound of artillery echoed in the sky above Sanlibu, firecracker-like firecrackers exploded outside the wall, a swan sound came from the south, and the conch bugle call for troops sounded from the north of the town.
In the bloody inner courtyard, the hoarse shouts of killing covered up all the sounds outside, and the fierce battle in the Horse Temple continued. On the heads of the people outside the courtyard gate, maces, knives, sticks, and axes were rising one after another. The first to charge was
Several Qing soldiers who entered fell to the ground, and the remaining five or six Qing soldiers huddled together and were surrounded by various heavy weapons. The two Qing soldiers on the outermost side had their waist knives broken. The one on the left raised his left arm and tried to use it tied to a
The side shield on the left arm can resist. This small shield can generally only withstand bows and arrows and waist knives, but cannot withstand such heavy soldiers. Under the blow of the mace, sawdust flew everywhere, the wooden shield was shattered, and the left arm bone of the Qing army was broken.
He was broken into several pieces. The iron-studded cotton armor he wore was useless against blunt objects. His body withstood all the violent blows. After each injury, he spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were blurred and his whole body was paralyzed.
, fell back on the Qing army behind. The two Qing soldiers next to them held up their shields with both hands, struggling to resist the heavy weapons. When the armored soldiers hit them hard, the cowhide of the shields was torn to pieces, and they backed away from the door in panic.
Go, the two limp Qing troops in front suddenly fell
On the ground, the remaining Qing troops retreated to the threshold. There was a burst of shouting from the rear. A group of Qing troops had blocked the back, with many brightly armored Bagaras among them. Xu Wu Zhang chased at the front with his mace pointed at the nearest
The Qing army smashed it violently, and the head of the club had already been brought to the tiles on the door. It fell from the front with a crash. A line gun inserted from behind was just hit, and the gun barrel suddenly became three-dimensional.
It collapsed, and one of the gun shafts was nailed to the mace, and the mace hit the waist knife of another Qing soldier who was blocking it. Xu Lengzi raised the mace, and the head of the club hit the lintel of the door.
On the top, both sides were unable to swing up and down, so they stabbed back and forth. The soldiers at the rear attacked from the gaps, and those who couldn't reach them stabbed randomly from the shoulders. The blade of a sword passed over the shield and stabbed Xu Lengzi continuously.
On the breastplate, the heavy blade broke several gaps. Xu Lengzi roared angrily, pushed the mace towards the faces of the Qing soldiers in the back row with both hands, and freed up one hand to grab the shield in front of him.
As soon as the Qing army exerted its strength, the Qing army could not hold on, and a pair of iron-faced armor appeared in front of Xu Lengzi. The white-armored Tatar held a short smooth knife without a check in his right hand, and stabbed Xu Lengzi in the neck.
The idiot raised his left arm and blocked the sword with his iron arm. Then he threw away the mace, grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the sword, and twisted it with his right hand.
After opening a small gap at the lower edge of the opponent's visor, fingers with iron gloves were inserted from below, and they were thrust hard into the opponent's face and eye sockets. Blood immediately flowed out from under the visor, and the white-armored Tatar was miserable.
Howling. At the threshold, brightly armored soldiers from both sides crowded inside the door. Various weapons banged against the door. A cracked medallion was pushed to the lintel, and broken weapons were on helmets and shoulders.
Sliding around, both sides naked
The scales clung to each other, making harsh friction sounds during the struggle and pushing. The weapons in the rear row hit their helmets, making a crisp sound, and the brutal screams and roars were mixed together. Blood was densely covered on the scales.
There were dense spots, and the door was crowded with people. Anyone who fell behind was immediately pushed to the front. Under the unexpected encounter, no matter how afraid of death, no one could retreat. Neither side had any tactics at all.
There was no one to give instructions, and the captain's instructions were ignored in the noise. Yang Guangdi was holding a knife and couldn't squeeze in from behind. Only the backs of his teammates were in front of him. Amidst the crazy howls, there were intermittent strong sounds.
The sound of the crossbow firing seemed like someone was shouting something. It sounded familiar, and Yang Guangdi didn't.
Make the effort to distinguish.
The crowded backs moved forward from time to time, and then stopped again. Occasionally, splashes of blood flew from the crowd and sprinkled on his head and face. He stepped on something uneven and didn't even have time to look at it. There was an excited shout from the front.
Shouting, the queue suddenly relaxed, and the figures in front of them all rushed towards the door of the courtyard. Yang Guangdi followed at the end. As soon as he reached the door, he fell to the ground. There were corpses around him. He fell on a person's stomach.
human
The helmet was gone, and there was a huge wound on his bare forehead. His eyes kept blinking, and his left hand was still raised. Without thinking, Yang Guangdi stabbed the man in the face with his waist knife. The Qing army tilted his head, and the blade came from the left
It was stabbed into the face, but the distance was too close. When Yang Guangdi exerted his force, he did not stab directly. The blade made a cut on his cheek, and blood immediately filled the Qing army's cheek. The Qing army seemed not to notice, and even his eyes
God has not changed.
Yang Guangdi slashed again randomly, not caring whether he was killed or not. He got up and rushed out the door. There were seven or eight people piled up at the threshold. Yang Guangdi stepped over their bodies and jumped into the outer courtyard.
The outer courtyard was already in chaos, with dozens of people killing each other, and horses running among them, tearing the lines of both sides into pieces. Yang Guang first saw the most conspicuous Captain Xu, who was hugging a tall white-armored Tatar.
Together, they stabbed the Tatar in the back with the short knife in their hands. It seemed that the scales were not broken. The white-armored Tatar hugged Xu Lengzi's waist with a short body. He roared while twisting and pulled Xu Lengzi away.
Staggering, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady center of gravity, he then kicked Xu Lengzi's right leg violently, knocking Xu Lengzi, who was losing strength, to the ground. Tatar rushed forward and suppressed Xu Wuchang.
Yang Guangdi didn't think much and rushed towards the Tatar. He slashed at Dunxiang with his saber, but the saber was too long and he couldn't use any force. The Tatar blocked it with his arms and hands, and the three of them twisted together.
Xu Wuchang breathed heavily and pulled the
The Tatar's visor stabbed the opponent's neck with a short knife. The bright-armored Tatar held his helmet in front to prevent Xu Lengzi from stabbing his neck, while howling and hitting Yang Guangdi's head with his iron-armed hand.
The bright-armored Tatar was so powerful that Yang Guang was knocked unconscious by the first few blows. He screamed and pushed his head forward, reaching Tatar's armpit. His shoulders suddenly pushed up Tatar's left upper arm.
.
"Stab! Stab!" Yang Guangdi pressed his face against the Tatar's breastplate, howling incessantly. His hands and head were against the Tatar's left hand. Xu Wuchang was still smashing the opponent's helmet. Yang Guang
He kept shouting, and finally heard the knife stabbing the opponent's armpit.
The blade pressed in with a popping sound.
Tatar screamed, and blood spurted out from his armpits, sprinkling Yang Guangdi's head and face. Tatar's strength disappeared almost instantly, and Xu Wuchang's short knife was still stabbing in hard. Yang Guangdi let go.
With his hand, he hit the Tatar's face twice with the handle of the knife. Feeling that the Tatar had lost his strength, he stood up unsteadily. He went to pull Xu Wuchang, who was lying on the ground.
Extremely heavy, Yang Guangdi exhausted
Trying your best has almost no effect.
He gave up this plan and took a step forward with the knife in hand. Before he could distinguish the people on the ground, a horse ran past in front of him and knocked down someone who didn't know where it was. After the horse stopped, it twisted its hips and faced
Kick your legs continuously from behind.
There was only a low dull sound, and a big stick hit the horse's head hard. The horse whined and fell to the ground, its four hooves trembling in the air. Yang Guangdi hadn't seen clearly which side it belonged to.
A tiger-tooth knife suddenly appeared in front of him and swept towards him. Yang Guangdi subconsciously blocked it with his waist knife. The three-pound tiger-tooth knife was unstoppable and Yang Guangdi was swept upwards.
He fell to the ground, feeling a stinging pain in his chest and suddenly out of breath. He could feel fluid flowing through his chest.
A Tatar wearing chainmail appeared in his field of vision. Yang Guangdi couldn't move. He watched as the Tatar raised his tiger-tooth knife high and was about to drop it. With a bang, an armor-piercing awl flew out from behind, in the shape of a spinach leaf.
The arrow hit the Tatar's chain mail violently. Under the heavy and sharp arrow blow, the intertwined iron rings broke into pieces, and the Qing army moved back.
As soon as he retreated, he let out a scream, and the heavy knife suddenly fell from his head. Yang Guangdi lay on the ground with his back, and a figure quickly approached, only two steps away from the Qing army, and almost stood in front of the Qing army.
He had just been hit hard on his chest, and the severe pain made his body unable to move. He watched helplessly as the bow in the opponent's hand
He quickly pulled it up and released it, and another armor-piercing arrow flew out with lightning and sank into the unarmored part of the throat.
The Qing army's head violently tilted back, and his body took two steps back, falling straight back. Only then did Yang Guangdi recognize that the shooter was Qin Jiuze, and saw Qin Jiuze's right hand downwards, pointing.
Suddenly he took out a light arrow from the arrow holder and fired an arrow at a dark-armored Tatar next to him. Yang Guangdi quickly stood up and made a bang in his ear.
There was a loud sound, and a bow and arrow flew over his head. An Anqing armored soldier screamed and fell to the ground. Yang Guangdi turned his head and looked, and saw a bright-armored Tatar standing next to him, already drawing his bow again.
, an armor-breaking awl was placed on the string and pointed at Qin Jiuze. Yang Guangdi ignored the pain and swung the waist knife upwards. The waist knife hit the bow. The Tatar loosened his hand, and the armor-breaking awl rubbed Qin Jiuze.
Flying by his side, Qin Jiuze threw his bow towards the dark-armored Tatar. Then, while running, he crouched over and hit the Qing army's abdomen with his shoulder. The two of them rolled down together.
On the ground.
Yang Guangdi wanted to stand up, but pain came from his chest again. Yang Guangdi grimaced in pain. After the pain subsided slightly, he took a breath and took out the knife from his waist.
The courtyard was full of fighting figures, frightened horses neighing in the corners, and injured soldiers from both sides writhing and screaming in a pool of blood. Qin Jiuze was not far away, wrestling with the Tatar on the ground, both sides holding short knives. Yang
Guangdi didn't bother to get up and crawled in that direction in the pool of blood. A person next to him happened to roll over and block his path.
His head was covered with blood, and Yang Guangdi couldn't tell the identity of the man. He crawled forward and grabbed the outer edge of the man's helmet, pulling his face up. The man was suddenly caught, and he screamed in horror, Yang
Guangdi still couldn't see his face, so he pressed on the man's back and pulled the helmet to an angle, revealing a piece of black scalp. Yang Guangdi couldn't help but stabbed the man in the back of the neck with a knife.
Go and pull it out. The knife caused a huge wound. The man covered his neck and made a gurgling sound. Blood gushed out from between his fingers. Yang Guangdi's face was mixed with blood and sweat.
The man pushed his head and continued to crawl forward. His chest still hurt.
It hurt, but it was lighter than at the beginning. After climbing one more step, they reached Qin Jiuze's position. The two were still wrestling, each trying to control the other's dagger. Yang Guangdi climbed to the legs and feet and stabbed the Qing soldier's calf.
Go, the Qing army screamed, Qin Jiuze grabbed
Taking the opportunity, he stabbed the Qing army's exposed neck with a knife.
Yang Guangdi let go of the handle of the knife and lay on his back, with almost no strength in his hands and feet. From the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Jiuze quickly get up, take a step forward and then shoot an arrow. He didn't know who he hit.
“Kill all the Tatars!”
Not knowing whose voice it was, Yang Guangdi moved, turned his body over violently, then supported his body with both hands, and slowly stood up.
Blood was dripping from Yang Guangdi's body, and there were pools of blood on the ground outside the courtyard. His ears were filled with moans of pain. Only a few figures were left standing. The remaining Anqing soldiers were covered in blood, breathing violently, and looked towards the undead Qing Dynasty on the ground.
The army made a last-ditch attack. The courtyard door facing the street was open, and the empty horses were rushing against each other on the street. From time to time, a figure on horseback flashed past, but no one looked inside. The sound of killing outside the courtyard wall was loud, and Yang Guangdi was at this moment
Only then did I notice that it sounded several times in succession
The sound of cannons and scattered musketry was heard intermittently, not far outside the courtyard. The streets were filled with white gunpowder smoke, floating into the courtyard walls from above the courtyard gates and walls.
