Chapter 297: The Way to Break the Enemy
He drove the slaves to carry the earth to the city without sleeping all night, but at dawn, Huang Taiji felt something was wrong, because he obviously saw that the endless slaves rushed up with the earth on their backs, but almost no one came back.
But this night, the slope that was only one person tall from the city wall before dark last night was only one person high, and the height has not increased, while the original 150,000 slaves were cut by nearly half.
So where did the person go? He finally got the answer when he picked up the telescope he bought at a high price in the Netherlands and looked out at the city wall.
In his eyes, on the slopes of earth, the miserable slaves threw the soil on their shoulders to both sides, and then jumped into the city frantically along the ladder hanging down from the city, and made loud cheers.
And the slave who also saw this situation did not even want the cake he gave him this time, and he burst into unlimited work enthusiasm, urging the slaves who were dressed in the soil to speed up the filling of soil, and then took advantage of the dawn to run towards the slopes of the soil.
"End the pile of soil and end the pile of soil and hurry up and catch those slaves." Huang Taiji, who suddenly realized, jumped to the ground and ordered.
A group of Eight Banners cavalry rushed up with scimitars, slashing and slashing the escapees wantonly. At this moment, the city roared down, and countless javelin-like crossbow arrows nailed one Eight Banners soldiers to the ground, making sacrifices in vain.
Seeing such a meaningless sacrifice, Huang Taiji finally gave up the pursuit and could only watch the slaves running over easily over the city wall, then took up their weapons, shouted the slogan of killing slaves, and became the guardian of the city wall.
The combat power of these slaves must not be underestimated, because Huang Taiji deeply understands that hatred is the greatest combat power.
Yue Tuo walked to Huang Taiji: "Don't be discouraged, the ten earth slopes are about to be completed. Although they are only one person taller than the height, as long as our warriors ride on horseback, they can fly in. As long as our warriors climb the city wall, no matter how many enemies they are, they will be the ghost under our swords, and victory is already ours."
Huang Taiji deeply agreed with Yue Tuo's reminder. To be on the safe side, Huang Taiji immediately ordered to remove all the white and red armors of his Zhenghuang Banner to form an assault team, and to win the city in one battle.
The red-armored and white-armored soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner are the elite among the red-armored and white-armored elites. They are Huang Taiji's absolute guard. From this point of view, Huang Taiji is really anxious.
As the ox horn sounded, red and white armor took the lead, the Eight Jurchen Banners followed closely, and the Mongols followed, and went all out to launch a desperate attack on Tongzhou City.
Looking at the enemy rushing up like a tide, Zhao Xing calmly waved his hand: "Pour water."
With a command, the civilians who had already lined up with well water immediately went up one after another and poured buckets of clear water on the soil slope.
The rolling cold water formed into mirror-like ice in the blink of an eye in this February winter, turning 10 soil slopes into ice paths.
The war horses of the Jurchen warriors charged wildly, but as soon as they stepped on the ice path, they rushed out one or two meters high by inertia, and immediately slipped and fell, turning into gourds that rolled down, slid down one after another, and collided with their companions who were rushing for charge. Under each ice path, they were crowded and fell into pieces of meat and eggs, trampling on each other into a pile of flesh and blood.
"fire--"
With Zhao Xing's order issued, the cannons in the city, which had been ready to go, immediately splashed dense shotguns under the earth slope, and knocked everyone into hornet's nests.
Seeing such a scene, Huang Taiji closed his eyes in pain.
No matter how strong the armor was, it could not stop the blazing iron sand of lead bullets. The elite red and white armored soldiers among his most elite were killed one by one.
This is not a battle, it is a unilateral massacre.
Facing the soldiers who kept rushing up and falling and then unilaterally massacred, everyone watching the battle was stunned. Only then did they realize that Zhao Xing's real killer was here. It took three days and three nights of precious time, and everyone worked hard to pave themselves a road to hell.
Looking at the road reflecting the dazzling light of the rising sun, Huang Taiji ordered painfully: "Blow the trumpet and stop the troops."
With the whimpering call to withdraw troops, the Jurchen warriors who were amnesty turned around and fled back. With their defeat, the countless soldiers and civilians on the city cheered into the sky. The high morale seemed to have turned into a tangible wall, which continuously raised the city of Tongzhou, and finally made people dare not look up to it.
After working hard to waste three days and three nights, all I got wasted was the only thing I got in exchange for wasting the city ladder. The entire siege war once again returned to the starting point. This was not something that could be described by loneliness, and it was simply frustrating.
Even more frustrating news kept coming, and the attack on Zunhua's Tazawa tribe was also very unsuccessful. Although they showed the true nature of the Eight Banners soldiers who dared to fight to the death, they only found nothing but suffering heavy casualties.
When he turned to attack Jizhou, he actually faced a group of civilians on the city wall without any achievements. The county lord in red was the strongest shield, and the weak Xiufen was the root of the morale of the military and the people.
Just as Huang Taiji was about to work harder and launch a resolute attack on Tongzhou, a worse news came to him. Tong Yangxing, who was temporarily in charge of the camp, reported that the Mongolians in the camp were constantly disbanding.
Upon hearing the news, Huang Taiji sat on the chair, grabbed the sword on his waist tightly, and asked a Mongolian tribe leader coldly: "How could this happen?"
The patriarch quickly knelt down in front of Huang Taiji in fear and fear, saying: "It's not that the slaves do not restrain the clan members, yes, it's because everyone's hearts are dispersed, and they really can't restrain themselves."
Huang Taiji sat there blankly, not speaking for a long time. He lamented in his heart, yes, the team's heart was dispersed, and it was difficult to lead the team.
When the grassland alliance was formed, it used coercion and temptation, which was a knife, and temptation was to use the robbery of property and the "reward" of the Ming Dynasty to be a 50% share of the accounts.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. The prosperous capital area made everyone scramble for the fun and a lot of money. For this reason, Huang Taiji's prestige in the hearts of the Mongols became higher and higher.
However, the situation suddenly changed. Zunhua Jizhou was occupied by the Ming army, cutting off the passage for everyone to transport the stolen goods back to their tribe. Seeing that the mountains of materials and gold and silver were stolen, they could not be transported back, everyone was extremely anxious. So they tried their best to open the path. However, several times they sent troops to capture Zunhua, Jizhou, and returned in a defeat. This made the Mongolians feel that the Eight Banners of the Jurchens were not as powerful as the legend, and this corrupt and declining Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not as idiot as people imagined. In this way, the fear of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years buried in the hearts of the Mongolians began to sprout again, and their trust in Huang Taiji was shaken.
But this time, facing a small Tongzhou, the attack was futile for the past few days, and the most casualties were the Mongols.
Seeing that the City Pile Technique failed, a hand-to-hand battle with life was about to continue to start, and they had to fill it with their own lives, so everyone was completely desperate.
So many people decided to take advantage of the fact that the Great Wall in the north was not completely blocked, and everyone rushed back from the small road and no longer lost their lives for Huang Taiji.
