Chapter 503 Soldiers approach the city

When the Qing soldiers were at the city wall, the people on the city wall were still panicked. After all, these ordinary people had never seen a real battlefield. What they usually saw were the Ming army soldiers who were rampant in the village.

The people have never looked good about the soldiers. These soldiers and gangsters usually oppress the people and do unlawful things they have done.

But now, fate tied them together. Everyone began to unite with the enemy and prepared to fight with the Qing soldiers outside the city.

However, the people were a group of mobs after all, and they were all very afraid of death. The most feared thing was the loss of fear in front of the formation. This would not only cause chaos in the city wall guards, but also create opportunities for the Qing soldiers to attack.

So they have to restrain themselves and let them overcome their fear. Even if they face deaths that appear at any time around them, as long as they remember, their families will be destroyed after the city is destroyed.

If they mobilize the anger on them, no one is a real coward. Only by mobilizing their passion, these people who have never fought a war are as brave as they are.

In fact, the guards on the city walls are not stronger than the people in Lanzhou City, and they have never seen such a formation.

The casual military discipline makes it purely a waste of time to join the army. They have been neglecting war for a long time, and there is almost no difference between them and ordinary people.

The Qing soldiers under the city prepared their troops and their military discipline was neat and orderly, and they truly implemented orders.

Not to mention anything else, the military appearance of the clear soldiers is enough to make the Ming army on the city wall ashamed. Such combat power must be very terrifying.

According to records, the loss ratio of the Ming army to the Qing soldiers in Liaodong was as high as several hundred to one. There may be exaggeration in this, but a mere 100,000 Qing soldiers entered the pass and finally got the whole world. The Qing army's combat effectiveness was indeed very powerful. I have to admire this.

Of course, the corruption of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to the changes in the people's minds, which were all due to their disappointment in the court.

Huang Taiji did not test this time, but directly launched an attack. In the east, north and west directions, Huang Taiji mainly attacked the north city, Dorgon was responsible for the east city. The Mongolian coalition and Duoduo were responsible for the west city gate.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the Qing soldiers under the city swarmed in. The sound of trumpets came one after another, and the Qing soldiers attacked fiercely.

Especially the Qing archers, the Ming army on the city wall suffered considerable casualties.

"Kill~!"

The people began to be distracted. At the beginning, they also practiced in advance. When Qing soldiers fired arrows, they hid in the cliffs. Or, using door panels, stones, iron pots and other items to avoid them.

However, this kind of blind shooting rain of arrows was everywhere. Soon, people were constantly injured by arrows. Some were even shot to death.

The people on the city walls began to disintegrate, and some people ran around like headless flies. As a result, they soon became hedgehogs.

The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guards scattered everywhere desperately restrained them: "Don't run, don't run around! Dodge, find cover to hide!"

What's so bad is that the Lanzhou guards under Lu Daoyuan also became scattered. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard were shocked. If this continues, once Jiannu starts to attack the city, what can he do to resist?

Song Xiance braved the rain of arrows and walked towards the north gate guarding Lu Daoyuan. Feather arrows flew everywhere, like locusts in the sky.

The defenders at the north city gate were directly disrupted by a rain of arrows. The Ming troops from all departments took their own actions and gathered with the people, and were in chaos everywhere.

The people regard the big-headed soldiers as protective umbrellas, and the big-headed soldiers are unable to protect themselves and are rushing around.

Song Xiance took a breath. It took less than half a day to defend the city. He grabbed a soldier running around and said angrily: "Where is Lu Daoyuan!"

The soldier's face was pale: "Jiannu beat him, he's called him, he's called him."

As expected, he was still shocked in front of the formation. Such an army was speechless. Song Xiance was furious and grabbed the soldier's clothes and shouted at everyone: "Do you know why you have been defeated all the time? Do you know why? They were just a group of Tartars who could not go back home, and they were afraid of him. Do you think, because of your cowardly battle, they broke the city by Jiannu. They waved the butcher knife in their hands and slashed at your brothers and sisters, your parents, wives and children. Do you think about it, do you think about it?"

With Song Xiance's crazy roar, everyone finally stopped scattering. Everyone stared at him blankly, still arrows like locusts.

However, this time no one was running around as a living target. Instead, he tried his best to avoid the rain of arrows and looked at the crazy Song Xiance.

Song Xiance was still angry: "Jiannu broke through the city and finally pointed at your corpse and said, "This is an army piled up from sand! Is it shame? I am ashamed for you! We join the army to kill the enemy and serve the country! Do you still have a way out? It's gone! Those who don't want to die, pick up your weapons and kill!"

What he said was messy, as messy as his thoughts. But this was effective. At least, the crowd was no longer frightened or confused.

Some people silently returned to their own defense position, while others silently held the weapons in their hands.

"General Song, General Lu is in the east!" someone shouted.

Song Xiance had a blue face and walked east with his subordinates, and he found Lu Daoyuan.

At this time, Lu Daoyuan was actually hiding in the city tower, trembling.

While everyone under his command was busy resisting the Qing soldiers, Lu Daoyuan, as the commander, actually hid in the city tower. He was chanting various gods and Bodhisattvas in his mouth in front of a Buddha statue.

"Tathagata, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Empress, Erlang Shen, Land Daughter, Thunder God Grandma..." All the gods he could think of were recited: "Please bless me, my family..."

The next second, he was pulled up by Yan Yishuang beside Song Xiance like a dead dog.

Lu Daoyuan's legs were weak and he came back to his senses tremblingly. Only then did he see clearly that it was Song Xiance, and he stammered: "Song, General Song, Jiannu, Jiannu retreated, have the troops retreated?"

Even Yan Yishuang couldn't stand it and threw him on the ground. This was a waste. How did such a person take the position of governor? It was really a shame.

At this time, Lu Daoyuan no longer cared about his face, he cared more about his life. He knelt on the ground like a dog: "General Song, please, please, please."

Song Xiance didn't say anything and walked out directly. Such a waste is not worth wasting his talk for him anymore. The coach is like this, so there is no need to mention his subordinates.

Fortunately, at this time, the people from the royal palace came.

The female family members of the royal palace braved the rain of arrows to the city wall. They found Song Xiance, and then a maid quietly stuffed something into Song Xiance's hand and whispered: "Mr. Song, this is what our empress brought to me."

With the token of troops, Song Xiance was in his hand and immediately inspected the city walls. He held the token high and shouted: "The prince's token is here, and all departments obey the orders!"
