Chapter 772: Entering the Palace
The Qing army was wailing under the cover of artillery fire, but the artillery fire of the Ming army opposite seemed to be without any sympathy and was still firing artillery shells.
A shrill whistling sounded constantly, and more than 20 six-pound cannons poured the shells at an extremely fast rate of fire, and the rain of bullets shot at the fragile wall like a rainstorm.
The crisp and high-pitched cannon sounds came one after another, and the six-pound cannonballs poured out to the opposite side like rain, and the air was filled with the shrill whistling of cannonballs.
"Boom boom boom..."
Flowering bullets, solid bullets kept falling around the walls, and explosions, screams and shouts were heard.
The broken arms and limbs were scattered everywhere on the position, and the blood flowed out gathered into small puddles. Among these pools of blood, some ferocious corpses were lying. The wall that had just made Yuan Chonghuan frustrated was only slag under the artillery fire of the Jiangning Army for less than a quarter of an hour before being knocked into a slag.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded in the Jiangning Army's square formation.
"Everyone is ready, the gun is loaded, and the bayonet is put on!"
"Crash!"
A neat metal collision sounded, and the Jiangning army musketeers in the square formation pulled out the bayonets from their waists and inserted them into the muzzle.
Although the bayonet, which is only a few inches long, is only small compared to the weapons in the hands of the Liaodong soldiers, looking at the Jiangning soldiers lined up in an orderly manner and holding a rifle flashing with cold light, the surrounding Liaodong soldiers still felt a sense of palpitations. What shocked them was not the bayonets, but the momentum of moving forward.
"bass!"
Yang Feng pulled out the long knife at his waist and raised it high, shouting: "All Jiangning Army soldiers listen to my orders and attack!"
"go ahead!"
"go ahead!"
As Yang Feng's order was issued, the voices of officers also sounded in the square formation. The first five hundred people strode towards the wall in neat steps.
"Master, Ming Jun is here!"
A Goshha struggled to climb to Gertai who was hiding in the corner and gasped, saying, "Don't worry, the slave has summoned dozens of people. We will launch a counter-charge towards the Ming army later. We will never come back to see you unless we drive the Ming army down!"
When Geertai saw that this Goshha was no one else, he was the Goshha who had just been beaten by him and ordered him to launch a counterattack during the Ming army's attack.
Now Gertai's mentality is different from what he had just now. He looked at the Goshha with a complicated expression, "Gerfu, I beat you just now and asked you to go out for this mortal errand. Don't you hate me?"
Gerfu smiled bitterly and said, "I naturally know that I will die when I go there, but my life is yours. As long as the master gives me an order, I will sacrifice my life, so what if I sacrifice it?"
After hearing this, Geertai was very moved. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded: "What a good servant, I don't value you so much. Since you are so loyal to me, I naturally can't watch you and die.
Now I will give you another errand. You will immediately bring twenty Goshhas back to our mansion, bring the concubine and a few young ladies to leave the city immediately in the chaos."
"Master...what are you?" Gerfu couldn't help but be shocked.
"I?"
Gertai smiled bitterly.
"I am attracted by His Majesty and appointed as the deputy commander of the Inlaid Yellow Banner. Naturally, I will fight to the end for His Majesty. After you go back, you will immediately take Fujin and the others out of the city. You must move quickly. Don't clean up those messy things. Just bring some dry food and gold, silver and soft materials. Do you understand?"
"this……"
Geerfu's mind was still a little confused. He asked noddedly: "Master... Where will the slaves take Fujin and the others after leaving the city? Will they go to Hetuala?"
"No, I can't go to Hertuala!"
Gertai shook his head with a serious expression: "Now it seems that Shengjing can no longer be saved. After the Ming army conquered Shengjing, the next target must be Hetu Allah. So going to Hetu Allah can only be a search for death. You can go north and go as far as possible. Remember, don't think about avenging your revenge, just survive well, do you understand?"
"Master..."
Gerfu looked at Gertai with a decisive look on his face. He knew that he had made up his mind, so he kowtowed twice to Gertai and ran to the back with more than twenty Goshhas without looking back.
As soon as Geerfu left, the Ming army had already reached the sight.
After the shelling just now, the losses of the crowd were also heavy. There were only less than 700 people left in more than a thousand men.
Geertai finally gathered these people together in a hurry. Seeing the Ming army slowly approaching while patting the neat formation, he raised his long sword and pointed it at the sky and shouted: "The time for the warriors of the Qing Dynasty to be loyal to His Majesty is here, everyone will follow me to kill!"
"kill!"
Hundreds of Qing soldiers mustered up their last courage and rushed towards the Ming army that was coming. The deputy commander Gertai was the deputy commander. He held up his heavy sword and shield and rushed to the front of the team first.
Looking at Gertai who was crazy, the remaining Qing troops also followed him with their respective weapons and rushed towards the Ming army.
Seeing the Qing army launching a counter-charge, the Jiangning Army, which was advancing, did not panic at all. Yang Feng, who was commanding the team to advance, issued another order.
"Everyone obeys the orders and stop moving forward!"
"Rise the gun!"
"put……"
"Bang bang bang..."
Flashes of fire were heard with the sound of choking smoke, and countless lead bullets flew out of the gun chamber driven by the kinetic energy of gunpowder.
"Bang!"
A lead bullet hit the heart protection glass on Gertai's chest, and the huge impact force shattered the heart protection glass. After the lead bullet smashed the heart protection glass, it continued to penetrate the chain mail and cotton armor inside him without hesitation. Then the seriously deformed lead bullet stirred his heart into pieces.
His whole body was stunned for a moment with his right hand holding the long sword high. The long sword then dropped off his hand and made a crisp "clang" sound. Then he fell heavily to the ground like a bag of sacks filled with soil.
"Shoot...shoot..."
Behind the square formation, Yang Feng did not know that the highest commander of the Qing army opposite should be shot dead. He still urged the soldiers to exert their maximum firepower output, annihilate these people as soon as possible, and then kill into the palace to kill Huang Taiji.
The heavy casualties and Gertai's death did not scare the Tartars ahead. The Tartars still made wolf howls and roaring sounds towards the Jiangning military formation. The distance of hundreds of meters was only more than ten seconds for the running people.
When the third round of volleyball was completed, the remaining Tartars finally rushed to the front of the square formation.
Chapter completed!
