Without an order to retreat, the Jin army could only continue to attack the city, but the momentum was obviously not as good as before.
On the city, the boiling oil in the big pot was already heating up. Seeing the Jin army gathering again, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly waved his hand to the young men who were boiling the oil.
Immediately, six young men used iron rods to lift the cauldron, slowly carried it to the crenel, then lifted it hard and threw it down towards the city.[
Six large cauldrons fell down at the same time, and the boiling hot oil poured down like waterfalls. There were screams of horror from the city. The golden soldiers who were poured on the head by the hot oil were burned to death. They were not like those iron-headed men.
Each of them wore two or three layers of iron armor, but only wore a simple cotton armor. How could that thin cotton armor withstand the hot oil!
The cotton armor was also burnt until it made a "chichi" smoke sound. Those Han soldiers without armor were even worse. Their faces were instantly burned open, as if they were cooked, red and tender...and their hands were covered with it.
Bubbles and pieces of red skin separated from the flesh, just piled on top of each other.
The Ironheads were better off, but they were so frightened by their comrades who were burned to death that they froze there. No matter how brave they were, they couldn't help but show hesitation on their faces when they saw this horrific scene.
From time to time, the Ming army smashed down logs on the city wall, and rocks of different sizes fell here and there, causing heavy casualties to the Jin soldiers who climbed the city, and also brought serious consequences to the already low morale of the Jin soldiers.
of fear.
The Jin soldiers began to cower. They no longer boldly climbed up, and they no longer dared to gather under the city. At first, it was just a group of Han soldiers retreating, and then the Jin soldiers also retreated.
Seeing this, Azig was furious and raised his hand. Immediately, the six hundred recruits drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the retreating companions.
"Those who retreat will be killed and pardoned!"
"Go back! Go back!"
Azige drew his sword in his hand and roared loudly. The fangs also began to press forward loudly. Looking at the sharp arrows and listening to the roar of the flag master, the golden soldiers could only muster their courage again.
, he picked up the ladder from the ground and leaned against the city wall again.
"superior!"
Under the orders and coercion of the Shideba officers, no matter whether they were Han soldiers or Jin soldiers, or whether they were dead soldiers who fell into the city or not, they were all ordered to climb up the ladder.
But before they could climb halfway, the Ming army on the city poured hot oil down again, which was so hot that the golden soldiers on the ladder fell down with howling like ghosts and wolves.
When the Jin soldiers on other ladders nearby saw it, they were all frightened and wanted to climb down, but there were so many people at their feet that they couldn't get down anywhere.
He looked at the crenel with fear, his heart was in his throat, how pitiful he was. After waiting for a while, he didn't see the Ming army pouring hot oil down from the top of the city!
"They're slick, they're slick!"
The golden soldiers cheered as if they had escaped from death. There was no oil in the city, there was no oil in the city!
It's not that there's no oil in the city, it's that it's not hot yet, and it won't burn anyone if it falls.
The Jin soldiers under the city were vigorously mobilized, and more than a hundred women who served as vanguards climbed up from more than a dozen ladders. Those ladders were full of oil, and they slipped when they stepped on them. They used their hands and feet together to barely stand firm.
"Come on, come on quickly!"[
Niulu, Shideba and others roared impatiently. As soon as one climbed up, the other climbed up, fearing that if they didn't hurry up, the Ming army would pour oil down again.
But when the golden soldiers at the top of the ladder were very close to the crenel again, the Ming army's muskets were fired again. There was a burst of smoke, and more than a dozen golden soldiers screamed and fell from the ladder. But some iron heads were not injured, but instead
With a jolt, he quickly climbed up a little further.
Stones, wooden blocks, and even city bricks, anything that could kill anyone on the city were smashed down by the Ming army without mercy.
Under the city, the Jin army's arrows kept shooting towards the city. Due to the too many arrows of the Jin army, the Ming army could only passively defend. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer Ming troops at some crenels.
Zhengbai Banner Niulu Dekeli had more than 400 men. Unexpectedly, before approaching the city wall, there were more than 100 casualties in the army. They all died under the artillery fire of the Ming army at the top of the city. After approaching the city,
Decker's ferocity was so fierce that he personally directed the siege. When the offensive was not going well, he resolutely took the lead and climbed up the ladder.
As a Niulu, De Cre has one more layer of armor than Iron Head, the innermost layer is chain mail, then a layer of iron armor, and then there is a layer of iron-inlaid cotton armor on the outside. In these three layers of armor
Under the protection of his armor, the Ming army's firecrackers and bows and arrows could not stop him. However, the armor that weighed dozens of kilograms on his body also made De Cre a little breathless and sweaty, as if he was in a stuffy box.
Same, very uncomfortable.
Now De Crei no longer hopes to achieve any great achievements, he only hopes to capture the city as soon as possible so that everything in front of him can be ended.
He had had enough of this nightmare battle.
God paid off. Encouraged by De Cre's example, after the golden soldiers with the white flag shot and killed the Ming troops on the city, there were actually several golden soldiers on ladders who were about to climb up the city.
…………
There were heavy casualties in the front, and in the back, Erke and other generals could no longer keep their composure. Especially after seeing that there were not many soldiers with red flags left, Erke was so anxious that he grabbed Azig's hand and tried to persuade him.
He said: "Master, we can't attack this city anymore. If we continue to attack, we will destroy them all! Master, withdraw!"
Ah Shan, Hu Li and the others did not want to continue the fight, and looked at Azig with helpless expressions on their faces.
Not only the generals don't want to attack anymore, but also the ordinary Jin soldiers don't want to stay under the Jinzhou City for another second. The huge casualties have exceeded their psychological expectations. If they can't break through anymore and continue to fight like this,
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Jin army collapses even if a knife is put to their necks.
Jinzhou, which was besieged by its remnant soldiers, unexpectedly lost so many people. Is it true that the Ming army in the city was only two to three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled?
The tenacious combat effectiveness displayed by the defenders had already made Azig doubt the true situation of the Ming army in the city. Erke's persuasion made him hesitate. However, after discovering that there were several ladders about to attack Youzhengbai Banner, he
He immediately stopped hesitating, pointed the knife there, and shouted: "Take it, take it!"
Looking along Azig's long sword, Erke and the others were also stunned. They saw three ladders set up in one place, and their own warriors were climbing up to the top of the city from there in a steady stream.
Then who was Niulu Dekeli who was not the first to board the city with a white flag?!
…………
"Jiannu is coming up, Jiannu is coming up!"
The first ones to notice the golden soldiers climbing up the crenel were a few young men. They screamed in fear, and no one had the courage to rush forward.
As soon as Derek climbed to the top of the city, he protected himself with a round shield in front of him to avoid being stabbed by the spears of the Ming army next to the crenellations. When he found out that there were no Ming soldiers beside the crenellations, he became ecstatic, brandishing his long knife and struck at the crenellations next door.
The Ming army went to kill them, making strange screams in their mouths as they went at them.
Unexpectedly, a general suddenly rushed out from behind the crenel. The general held a spear in one hand and roared louder than Derek. Hearing this, Derek was startled and subconsciously swung his knife to strike. However, the general was not very skilled.
Even faster than him, the spear had already stabbed his chest.[
Derikou held a shield in his left hand and wore three layers of armor. Seeing that General Ming was stabbing his chest, he was not afraid at all. He smiled ferociously and was about to chop the knife towards General Ming's neck.
Before he could raise the knife, his body was hit hard, and he flew backwards with his shield. He fell to the ground with a "plop", which made him feel dizzy. Before he could understand what was going on, something came to his ears.
There were rapid footsteps, and at the same time, several knives were slashing at the neck...
When his head rolled down, his eyes were still wide open, and he really couldn't rest in peace.
Cao Bianjiao arrived in time to resolve the crisis. The Jin soldiers who came up the ladder were no match for him. Then Wang An's battalion of soldiers arrived and blocked the gap in the city wall in time, so that the Jin army could no longer take advantage of the chaos.
Climb to the top of the city.
In the telescope, Huang Taiji saw it clearly. Although the man in the golden dragon flag on the city gate tower was furious when he saw it, he had to force himself to calm down.
