After the sound of cannons, the people below the city suddenly fell down, and other people also knew that it turned out that the people on the city were serious, so they also retreated. The Qing army behind them immediately waved their spears and whips.
An attempt was made to drive them back, but the artillery on top of the city was still firing continuously. The people did not dare to return to the position at all, and both sides started pushing and shoving.
At this time, on the top of the city of Muling Pass, the soldiers of the Muling Army also launched extremely cruel revenge methods against the captured Qing soldiers. Each one of them held a sharp knife and stabbed the Qing soldiers violently.
He vented all the anger in his heart on these more than 50 prisoners, and obeyed Shang Yi's instructions not to kill them all at once, which would be too easy for them, but to let them breathe.
Let them suffer a little more.
In fact, almost half of the prisoners were Han Chinese. They asked the Muling army for help in Chinese, but no one paid attention to them. Shang Yi was even less sympathetic to these people, because later history proved that the puppet army
They are often more hateful than the Japanese. What’s more, these pseudo-Qing soldiers don’t have many Ming civilian lives in their hands. Now they can only pay the price for their original surrender to the enemy.
Turge and Bolo, as well as the soldiers of the Qing army who were under the city, heard the heart-rending screams from the Qing soldiers on top of the city, and all of them were so angry that they stamped their feet and beat their heads.
Some people even shed tears. This kind of thing has never happened since Nurhaci established the Houjin Dynasty.
Turge said sternly: "Drive all the bright dogs back and let them be killed by our own cannons. Drive out the remaining bright dogs in our army and let them all die in the hands of our own people. Quick,
quick."
But at this moment, one of the people who was driven away by the Qing army suddenly picked up the hoe in his hand and hit a Qing soldier in front of him on the head. The Qing soldier Wan
Wan never expected that the people of the Ming Dynasty, who had always been docile, weak and submissive, would actually resist. He was unprepared for a moment and was hit on the helmet by the hoe. Although he was wearing an iron helmet, he could not withstand this violent blow.
After the impact, he immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.
When the common man saw that he had defeated a Qing soldier, he immediately raised his hoe and said loudly: "Folks, you are going to die on both sides. It is better to fight with the Tatars than to die in the hands of one's own cannons."
As he was talking, another Qing soldier suddenly rushed over, raised his spear in his hand, and stabbed the civilian hard. The civilian was unable to dodge and had no armor to protect him. He was immediately stabbed through the front by the spear.
chest, and the tip of the gun protruding from the back.
The Qing soldier succeeded with a shot, and he was feeling proud. Suddenly he saw the common people smiling at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. At this time, the common people shouted: "Fellows, fight hard." He rushed forward, and his body was in the air.
The gun barrel slid more than two feet, and came to the Qing soldier. He hugged the Qing soldier tightly and bit him hard on the face.
The Qing soldiers screamed loudly in pain, released their guns, and hugged the civilian. The two rolled to the ground and started fighting.
At this time, other common people finally broke out, shouting: "Fight, fight with the Tartars." They rushed towards the Qing soldiers. Those who had a dick in their hands raised the dick without thinking.
They violently beat the Qing soldiers, and those who had no opponents used their bare hands to fight with the Qing soldiers who were driving them. They punched, kicked, bitten, and headbutted, in short, they used everything. In anger,
In front of the people, the Qing soldiers who drove them became frightened and were beaten back by the people, killing and wounding dozens of people.
Turge and Bolo were also stunned. They never imagined that the people who had been effectively driving the people to attack the city in the past would turn out to be like this. This is still in their eyes. They have always been docile and weak, and they have been submissive and have been bullied. Were the people of the Ming Dynasty who could only endure silently and never dared to resist? They were clearly a group of angry lions.
Although he was still dozens of steps away from the rioting people, Turg still involuntarily took a few steps back, looked left and right, and suddenly shouted nervously: "Kill, kill, kill them, kill them. Just them."
After hearing this, the Qing soldiers on the left and right immediately swarmed up and killed the people.
They were able to gain the upper hand before because the Qing army that drove away the people was not large in number, and the people also relied on their bloody courage. Now that the Qing army's large forces came up, the people's bloody courage just now was almost exhausted. , suddenly couldn't resist, and were killed by the Qing army. They fell to the ground and died. When the remaining people saw it, they also turned their heads and ran towards Mulinguan.
Turge also immediately ordered two Han soldiers, Niulu, to hunt down the people. At the same time, he also ordered to start attacking the city. But this time, he simply didn't even use the shield chariot, and just held up the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.
At this time, the guards at the gate had already stopped shelling. Seeing the people resisting, they also cheered for the people. Later, when they saw the people were killed by the Qing army and fled towards the city wall, Shang Yi immediately ordered the gunners, bows and arrows. With his hands, the musketeers were ready to attack the Qing army. At the same time, he ordered people to open the city gate and prepare to rescue the people. However, Shang Yi did not dare to put down the suspension bridge anymore. Instead, he ordered people to use wooden planks to build several single-plank bridges on the city defense ditch. So that the people who can run fast can cross the ditch and enter the city. Anyway, we can save as many as we can now.
The Qing army was chasing the remaining common people, and the two sides were always locked together, making it difficult to separate. The Qing army was chasing after the common people, constantly killing the common people with spears, bayonets, chops and arrows. The common people were also completely bereft. The will to resist, in fact, cannot resist, and can only run desperately in the direction of Guancheng.
But at this time, the Qing army was also angered by the Muling army's behavior towards the prisoners. Although the Han army was chasing the people, they also knew how terrifying the angered Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were, and they would never talk to them. What's the point? As long as you don't like it, you will be struck with a knife. Therefore, at this time, you can't hesitate at all. Although the Mu Ling Army's artillery fire is fierce, you have to bite the bullet and rush forward, and then chase and kill the people. .
Soon the Qing army and the people had crossed the first trench, and at this time the fifteen artillery pieces on the city immediately opened up their firepower again, venting the anger of the entire army on the Qing soldiers.
"Boom, boom, boom!" There were huge roars one after another. The Qing soldiers chasing the people outside the city fell down in rows like wheat. Of course, because at this time, the Qing soldiers and the people were entangled, and they were accidentally injured. It is inevitable that some people will be killed. But if you don't do this, there will be no way to separate the pursuing Qin army from the people. Therefore, Shang Yi can only sacrifice some people and save others.
This time the Qing army advanced very quickly, and most of the Han troops did not have such heavy armor, so they had an advantage in action over the Manchu soldiers. They almost all advanced at a sprint speed of 100 meters. After a while, they crossed Three trenches and low walls. However, under the fierce attack of the Muling Army, the connection between the Qing army and the people was finally cut off, and the two sides opened a distance.
At this time, many surviving people ran to the city moat, so Shang Yi ordered that all long bows, short bows, and fire blunderbuss be gathered at a place more than thirty steps away from the city wall and fired.
The army blocked it and bought time to rescue the people and enter the city.
So at this time, on the top of the city, firecrackers, bows and arrows were fired together. The bullets and arrows were almost as dense as raindrops. The Qin army was more than thirty steps away from the city wall and could hardly take another step forward. At this time, the Han army
The disadvantage of the thin armor is also reflected. At this distance, a single layer of iron armor has almost no protection. As long as it is hit, it will be either dead or injured. A large number of Han troops are piled up at this distance, and the corpses are piled up, almost
A clear dividing line was formed.
While the soldiers of the Muling Army fired bows, arrows and firecrackers with all their strength, they shouted loudly: "Hit, kill these bastard Tatars and avenge the villagers."
"Come on, come all over here and see how I kill you all."
However, while Mu Ling's army was struggling with the Qing army who was chasing the people, two Niulu Qing troops and three Niulu Han troops were already carrying ladders and approached the city wall very smoothly. This was also because Mu Ling
In order to rescue the people, the Ling army had to relax its attack on the second batch of Qing troops attacking the city.
Within a distance of thirty or forty steps, which was also the range within which the Qing army could counterattack, white-armored soldiers, horse soldiers, warriors, and infantry also bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Muling Army at the top of the city. In the presence of more than ten Muling soldiers,
After the musketeers were hit by arrows, others placed shields on the battlements. In this way, the damage of many musketeers was reduced, but the intensity of the Muling army's attack on the city was also reduced a lot. After all, this
As a result, only one musketeer can shoot at a battlement, and other archers have no use for the time being.
Therefore, the Qing army finally broke through this death zone and moved towards the city wall of Mulingguan. Fortunately, most of the people who fled to the city wall were successfully rescued into the city.
The moment the army approached the moat, the defenders took a step ahead, removed the springboard, and all retreated into the city.
Although the Qing army was close to the city wall, the Mu Ling army could now deal with the Qing army attacking the city without hesitation. Shang Yi also immediately ordered the musketeers to retreat to the high platform behind, and the archers to retreat.
Go to the arrow tower behind the city wall and continue to attack the Qing army from a distance, leaving the position of the battlements for pikemen to defend. At the same time, some pikemen and sword and shield soldiers were mobilized to help defend on the city wall, preparing to fight with the Qing soldiers.
The Qing army at the top of the city engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
After all the arrangements were ready, the Qing army also set up a springboard on the city protection trench, carried the ladder across the trench, leaned against the city wall, and began to climb to the top of the city. The brutal siege battle,
