Chapter 86 The Iron Wall (1)

"According to Huang Yingjie and Zhang Daoying's offensive, if it is still the original camp, it may not be so easy to defend."

"Yeah, as soon as the feudal soldiers arrived, these two bastards seemed to go crazy."

The Eight Banners Army's repeated victories in Liaodong have become a myth. After entering the customs, with the Eight Banners Army present, even the Green Camp soldiers seemed to be on stimulants. To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a psychological advantage.

This increased their confidence in victory. However, as opponents of the Eight Banners Army, their doubts about whether they could win would naturally increase, and doubts further reduced their ability to tolerate casualties.

Speaking of the vassal soldiers of Jingnan vassal, the only ones who actually joined the Han army were the more than 1,000 people brought by Geng Zhongming from Liaodong the year before last, which was only five or six Niulu. The remaining vassal soldiers were replenished along the way when they went south.

Green battalion soldiers. However, these green battalions are mostly elites from various places, and there is not much difference in combat effectiveness. Some may be even better than some of the weak brigades of the Han army.

With the vassal soldiers, even just a few Niulu vassal soldiers as backup, these green camp soldiers seemed to have been beaten to death. They suffered greater casualties than expected before being repelled by the Ming army. However, since they were finally defeated

After being repelled, the mood of the Ming army was much more relaxed than that of the Qing army. After all, it was the Qing army that was defeated without even touching the main fortress, so there is still room for appropriate optimism.

"Next time, it may be the feudal soldiers who come."

After pouring a basin of cold water on him, Chen Kai looked around at the generals, but he never showed any sign of fear. This was his confidence in the battlefield in eastern Guangdong that he presided over, and it also stemmed from the determination of these generals to be incompatible with the Qing army.

"It is my honor, Chen Kai, to fight against the enemy together with you."

………………

It was night, and as the victor, the Ming army slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the meritorious soldiers. At the same time, if they did not harvest at night, they scattered twice as much to prevent the Qing army from launching a night attack.

The night attack did not appear, and it seemed that the Qing army still had not touched the doorway. There was also no movement on the second day, and even on the third day. There was nothing more than the Qing army's exploration horses still relying on their strength to cover

It's just to keep the intelligence in order to prevent the Ming army from seeing more things.

On April 15th, the Qing army attacked again. This time, through the telescope on the fortress, Chen Kai clearly felt that the Qing army was more prepared, even to the point of being frantic.

"Go down with the order and prepare Plan B. Well, wait for my order."

The Qing army came in force, and this time the flags of the Green Camp retreated to both sides, obviously guarding the flanks of the army. Chen Kai said it all, this time it was really the vassal soldiers from the Jingnan Palace, and judging from the main force and the siege

The position of the equipment was aimed at the North Fort where he was at the moment.

However, this does not seem to make any difference to the Ming army. After the last victory, the morale of the defenders of the fortress is high, and even the feudal soldiers seem to have nothing to make a fuss about.

The Qing army no longer had any desire to persuade them to surrender. After a brief preparation, the King of Jingnan pressed forward with his flag. Deafening cheers immediately rang out. The morale of the army was boosted. Under the cover of watchtowers, rams and other siege equipment,

The army rolled forward, as if it were an overwhelming place.

The vassal soldiers were even more powerful. God knows where Geng Jimao, a playboy, got such prestige. Chen Kai watched all this silently, and just like his silence, Beibao also responded with deathly silence.

The Qing army of the brigade continued to move forward. This time, at Li Xu's position, the main force of the Qing army did not continue to advance. Instead, they released the auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the brigade directly from behind the formation, asking them to carry sandbags and earthbags on their backs.

Forward. The whip-driven expulsion started, and the sound of howls sounded. Chen Kai looked through the telescope and looked far into the distance. There were men and women, old and young, in the Qing army's expulsion team. They were obviously raped from the nearby area.

Conscripted people.

Chen Kai knew very well that these common people were cannon fodder for the Qing army, just like the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands a few days ago. The difference here was that the feudal soldiers were more skilled at using old, weak, women and children to fill trenches!

Killing chickens to scare monkeys, the war team followed behind, using the lives of the stranded people as an excuse, and the people who were driven forward could no longer find the will to resist. The people came in droves, and did not dare to do anything under the urging of the war team.

They hesitated to move forward at all, but the sound of crying and howling resounded throughout the battlefield, and what they received in return was the wanton laughter of the Qing army and the stern looks of the Ming army.

We are still far from the established shooting distance, and there is still time to think about it, but the pressure has been clearly passed on to Chen Kai, making it so oppressive that it is difficult to breathe.

If they are just civilians and auxiliary soldiers, they will be killed if they are killed. They will not only kill, but also cut off their heads as a basis for recording merit. But those old and weak women and children, each carrying earth bags and sandbags, are enough to make them

His steps faltered. Although, in such an era, it was never uncommon to kill good people and take credit for their merits, but when it came to him, the moral obsessiveness of modern people was still biting Chen Kai's heart.

To kill or not to kill, that is the question. Perhaps, this has never been a question.

The people who were expelled were not moving very fast, but they were getting closer and closer to the impact slope. The cries and howls gradually approached, and Chen Kai's breathing became heavier and heavier. He was responsible for the guard.

The officers of Beipu knew that civilian officials were different from military generals in this respect. At this moment, waiting for Chen Kai's order, the anxiety in his heart made him sweat profusely.

The old, weak, women and children were getting closer and closer, and the Qing army also started to move at this time. The siege equipment rolled forward, and the sense of oppression came with it. The officer in charge could no longer hold back: "General

To control, to kill, or not to kill?”

Hearing this shout, Chen Kai turned his head and looked at the officer, and also glanced at the Ming army soldiers around him. Not to mention that these two fortresses were the life and death line for Chaozhou, the Ming army in southern Fujian, and the people behind them. Not to mention that once this place

After the fall of the Jingnan vassal, the vassal soldiers of the Jingnan vassal can lead hordes of green soldiers into eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, leading the beasts to eat people. As the commander-in-chief, this is his unshirkable responsibility.

"kill!"

A loud shout came out, and the officer gave the order. With just a wave of his hand, the flag bearer waved the flag. In an instant, the explosion pierced the smoke, and the lead bullets swept through the crowd like a rainstorm, leaving a soundless sound on the impact slope.

The corpses and the painful wails that were not yet dead.

The Ming army opened fire, and even though these old, weak, women and children were so frightened that they turned around and wanted to run away, the supervising team hiding behind them still refused to let them go. They chopped at them wantonly and drove them straight towards the moat, without even trying to escape.

It gave them a chance to throw down the earthbags and sandbags and escape, and drove them directly down the moat.

There was never any mercy when it came to filling trenches. The supervisory team drove the vast majority of the people down the moat, but they did not force everyone down and quickly fled back. This was their experience, because they knew it very well.

According to inertial thinking, they would definitely be like this, but thinking conversely, as long as they left a part of it and caught the Ming army by surprise, they would have more chances to escape back.

Everything went as expected, and the Qing army's supervising team ran away. Whether it was the Ming army on the Half-Moon Fort or the people who were already standing on the edge of the moat, they were all stunned. But here they were.
