Chapter 518

"Send some loud brothers to shout and tell them to open the door and surrender immediately. Our Qin army only kills Han generals and does not kill Han soldiers, but if we stubbornly resist and continue to work for Tartars, we will kill all soldiers and generals after destroying the city!"

The red warbler looked at the far wall and the murderous way. Compared with the tartar cavalry outside, she hated the traitors in the city more.

"Yes!"

Not long after, wolves howled under the four walls.

For a moment, there was a commotion among the Han soldiers on the wall.

Look at me, I look at you. It's obvious that you want to surrender.

The generals were anxious and afraid, so they had to constantly appease their subordinates and cheer them up, which barely stabilized the wavering morale of the army.

"Don't believe their nonsense. We have no way back."

"Don't worry, brothers. They can't attack with the Lord on the side."

"Brothers, think about your family outside the pass!"

……

"It seems that these traitors don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. OK, then they just make an example of more than 10000 people in the city. Send orders to attack the city immediately and don't take prisoners!"

The red warbler saw that after waiting for half an hour, the city gate was still closed, and the city head was even carrying wood and stones. He also put out his mind to surrender and issued an order to attack the city. His tone was so cold that people trembled.

Dong Dong

"Kill!"

"Go!"

With the sound of war drums, countless heroes of the Qin army rushed down the wall with ladders and shields.

For the first time, a full 10000 sword shield soldiers were put into the siege on all sides at the same time. There were 1000 archers on each side, responsible for throwing arrows and rain as the city head.

There was no cloud ladder to attack the city, and there was no concentrated artillery to bombard a section of the city wall. It was purely ant attached to attack the city, because in the view of Hong Ying, a small county didn't need such trouble at all, and the army could win it with one push.

Seeing that the Qin army began to attack the city, Hogg and Wu Keshan did not dare to be spectators any more. They killed them from the East and West with cavalry.

But they were greeted by long soldiers and spearmen, artillery, Musketeers, archers, and even no horse stakes. Obviously, the red warbler wanted to attract the other cavalry to charge directly.

However, neither Haug nor Wu Keshan would do such a stupid thing. He just kept galloping around Kaizhou city while shooting arrows, but didn't rush straight up.

At most, he approached from time to time and made an important posture. When he saw that the long soldiers and long gunmen were not moved, he immediately turned his horse's head.

If it had been done in the past, it might have frightened the soldiers of the second corps and caused riots in the formation, but after holding on for so long, everyone was no longer afraid of cavalry and regarded it as a paper tiger.

Ant attached siege is the most cruel and bloody, and it also tests the fighting spirit of an army. With countless bricks, stones and dung pouring down, the Qin army at the root of the wall suffered heavy losses, full of wails and screams.

In this regard, both the red warbler and Lu Xiangsheng were expressionless. Seeing the signs of collapse and retreat of the attacking forces, the red warbler waved his hand and killed 4000 heavy armor infantry. All the soldiers who lost their weapons and retreated were chopped to the ground, and all one left ear was cut off as a sign.

After the war, all corpses without left ear are counted as deserters on the battlefield. Not only do they not receive any pension, but their descendants are not allowed to join the army or be officials for three generations.

Under such a harsh military law, even if they were frightened and killed hundreds of deserters by the heavy infantry behind them, others continued to fight hard, but from time to time, some soldiers collapsed and subconsciously shouted and fled back.

No one will be soft on these people, and no one will sympathize with them. The Qin army is well treated and eats well. However, when joining, we must swear to be ready to die in battle and die for the country. If we can't do it, or if we don't want it, we won't force it. Get out as soon as possible, but once we swear and become a formal army, we can't go back.

Qin Huan hated the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who ate and waited for death and were greedy for life and afraid of death, so he formulated this harsh military law, because the Ming army was greedy for life and afraid of death, which had affected the whole nation.

If 200 million people in the late Ming Dynasty were as bloody as those in the Han and Tang Dynasties, a mere million Tartars would have to be knocked to death if they dared to enter the pass.

The fierce fighting lasted for a quarter of an hour until the rolling logs and thunder stones at the head of the city were almost consumed, and the dung was poured out, and 4000 heavy infantry didn't go up.

As the heavy infantry climbed to the top of the city, the traitors began to retreat, and finally fled to the city. In just one hour, nearly 15000 Chinese soldiers were killed.

The Qin army itself suffered more than 10000 casualties, but these casualties were nothing to the 200000 troops.

The far tartar cavalry never charged directly from beginning to end. Until the city was completely quiet, Hogg and Wu Keshan were unwilling to retreat.

However, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, and their faces were unprecedentedly dignified. They thought that more than 10000 people could stay in the city for three or four days, but the fact was that it was only one hour, which delayed the Qin army for one day at most.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid we'll arrive at Daming mansion in a few days.

Indeed, with the example of Kaizhou City, more than 10000 traitors in Qingfeng City dare not resist at all.

When the next afternoon, the red warbler led the army to kill, as soon as he was called down, the soldiers rebelled. The generals at all levels couldn't resist. They could only watch them open the city gate and beg the Qin army to open it.

But this is not what the red warbler can decide. Ordinary Han soldiers can spare their lives. All generals, big or small, must be killed. This is the tone set by Qin Yu.

Therefore, the red warbler had to resolutely implement it. Under the accusation of ordinary Chinese soldiers, there was no possibility of fishing in troubled waters. More than 10000 people were fully killed and more than 3000 were killed, and their names were recorded in the traitor book, so as to build a monument and warn future generations.

Compared with the massacre in Kaizhou, Qingfeng, who opened the door and surrendered, took a longer time. He didn't kill under Nanle County until noon on the third day.

The situation has changed this time. After the rebellion of ordinary soldiers, all three thousand officers retired to the county government, and the trapped animals are still fighting. As a result, after counting their names, the red warbler burned the county government directly, and was too lazy to attack.

This scene frightened the traitor officers in Daming County and refused to stay in the city for defense anymore.

There was no way, Huang Taiji had to withdraw them all into the city, and also sent eighteen flag warriors and two thousand Mongols to the city to defend together. Obviously, he couldn't believe those ordinary Han soldiers anymore.

Sure enough, with 3000 Tartars, tens of thousands of officers, Daming mansion, high walls, dozens of red cannon and a large number of fire guns, tens of thousands of Han soldiers finally did not frighten them into rebellion.

This time, the red warbler was no longer in a hurry to attack the city. First, he surrounded the city, and then set up stronghold stumps outside the city to build siege equipment. He was busy for three days before he was ready to start.

At the same time, 100000 Han soldiers also arrived in Luoyang. All the troops that can be transferred from Chuangwang's family have been transferred. During this time, a large number of stone throwing machines have also been built to prepare to attack the Qin army camp.

Qin Huan didn't care about another 150000 troops. No matter how many mobs came, they couldn't change the outcome. He was eager to break into the king and Huang Taiji and gather all the troops and horses, just in a pot.

Luoyang is a good place. There is the Yellow River in the north, Tongguan in the west, Qinling Mountains in the South and Funiu Mountain in the southeast. Now more than 300000 troops occupy the due east. At that time, few cavalry or infantry can escape once they are defeated like a mountain.
