There were two deputy generals beside Mangurgurtai. One of them was one of the eight Iron Hat Kings of Manchu history, Zierhalang.
The other was the Banner Lord of the Bordered White Banner, Du Du.
Mangguertai was seated on the horse's back, right in the middle. His body was adorned with sparkly metal armor, and there was a magnificent python embroidered on the abdomen of the armor. There was a bright red helmet tassel on his head.
An order was given.
More than 2,000 Qing soldiers in uniform were each holding a long rope, and the end of the rope was tied with an iron lump that looked like a flying tiger claw.
The siege ladders and other large-scale equipment were still at the rear and would probably arrive tomorrow.
There was no other way. They could only rely on ropes to attack the city.
A rain of arrows covered the sky and the earth. After the defenders on the city gate tower were forced back, the two thousand Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation to charge forward.
After a series of whooshing sounds, the Flying Tiger Claw clattered against the battlements of the city wall.
In the next second, thousands of Qing soldiers secured the ropes and quickly climbed up.
They were fast, but the Han defending the city were even faster.
Immediately after, the shields that were used to avoid the rain of arrows were moved away, and fuel torches were raised one after another.
The torch was placed on the rope, and in a few seconds, the rope was ignited.
Pa!
Pa!
One after another, they broke apart.
Some of the Qing soldiers who were climbing up the city wall at a high speed were thrown down on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Mangguertai was so angry that his nostrils flared."The Han people are so cunning, how can they attack the city?”
"I've been thinking, who is the general in Shengjing City?”
The Banner Lord of the White Bordered Banner, Du Du, narrowed his eyes and stared at the city gate."All these years, we have come into contact with almost all the generals of the Ming army outside the pass, but we have never heard of anyone who could bring out so many soldiers.”
"When we attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan transferred away Zu Dashou, Man Gui, and the other generals outside the pass.”
Iron Hat King Zierharang asked curiously.
"Who cares who he is, Shengjing City must be taken down.”
"Yuan Chonghuan has already led his army back. If we delay any longer, the Ming army will come. We will be attacked from both sides, and I'm afraid we won't have another chance."”
"How?"
Du Du was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.
"City gates!"
"Burning the city gates?" Mangguertai's eyes paused."A simple tactic like that won't scare the Han.”
"Tsk!"
After receiving the order, Jierhalang quickly made arrangements.
…………
But at this moment.
Inside the city gate, Huo Qubing, who was on horseback, had taken out three-quarters of the twenty thousand soldiers and only brought five thousand.
This was Huo Qubing.
The fewer people there were, the greater the tactical flexibility against him.
He liked blitzkrieg warfare, guerrilla warfare, and encircling tactics. The prerequisite was that the people had to be sufficiently elite and few.
Chu Feng, whose mouth was full of grease, appeared from the city gate. He wiped the grease off the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.
"This general will obey!"
Huo Qubing smiled.
He grinned like a child.
The tightly shut city gates were suddenly opened by soldiers. Without any warning, five thousand elite soldiers followed Huo Qubing out.
"Kill them!"
"Kill…"
Like a ferocious tiger descending a mountain, he charged straight for Mangguertai's twenty thousand soldiers.
Opposite him.
Mangguertai was stunned.
Jierhalang and Dudu were also startled.
"The Han actually attacked?"
Then, Mangguertai excitedly gripped his saber and said,"Pass down my order. Not a single Han is allowed to escape.”
However…
Before anyone could reply, before the order could even be given, Huo Qubing's army had already arrived.
Under the illumination of the torches, the blades of the Zhanmadao and the ring-head saber shone with a terrifying light. They were both weapons that were more than a meter long.
Just like that, he charged forward.
When the two armies met, the strong Han army was like a ferocious beast, killing hundreds of Qing soldiers on the spot and dismembering their corpses.
Dark red blood splattered all over his body, and Huo Qubing felt an inexplicable excitement.
In the midst of the chaos, he locked onto Mangguertai and pointed his sword at him."Do you dare to fight?"
"I'll do it!"
Without waiting for Mangguertai's reply, Zierhalang came forward with his warhorse between his legs, his mouth full of Manchu.
Huo Qubing liked surprise attacks and long range attacks, but he was not afraid of the enemy's attacks when they were on guard.
He was like a natural war maniac.
The soldiers under his command were like war machines.
It was extremely cold and snowy, but these people were only wearing a thin shirt and had almost taken off their armor.
To put it bluntly, this group of people wanted to maximize their attacks and minimize their defenses.
The five thousand soldiers remained the same. With Huo Qubing as the leader, they passed through the twenty thousand Qing soldiers and over a thousand fell.
Some people's corpses were directly trampled into meat paste by the horses 'hooves.
Finally.
After the twenty thousand soldiers were scattered, Huo Qubing suddenly turned his horse around and headed to the other side.
He wanted to cut the Qing army into a cross, and he wanted to completely scatter Mangguertai's army.
…………
At the same time.
Above the city gate.
Chu Feng searched the palace for a long time before he found some wine. By now, he already had the skill to distill wine.
However, compared to the wine in the future, it was still lacking.
Sigh!
I'll make do with it.
After warming the wine against the charcoal stove, he poured it into an exquisite wine cup. He picked up a piece of spicy beef with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
So comfortable!
The slightly tipsy smell of alcohol lingered in his throat, and his entire body finally felt warm.
After eating for a long time, the first round of beef and mutton in the pot was almost empty, so he had to pour the second plate in.
Finally.
Chu Feng clapped his hands and held the wine jug and cup as he leaned against the battlements of the city wall, observing the battlefield below the city gate.
"Huo Qubing is truly the number one young general in the world.”
As he was speaking, Qi Jiguang's figure appeared,""Greetings, Lord."
"Hey, Quinn, you came just in time, just in time…"
Chu Feng shamelessly raised his hand and patted Qi Jiguang, pointing to the table next to him: ""There are wine cups here.”
"King, this…this isn't very good, right?”
Qi Jiguang was stunned.
There was such a King in the world? The enemy was in front of them, and they had several times their military strength. They were in danger of tearing him apart at any moment.
However, the King was eating and drinking?
"Why not?"
"Drink first, I just thought of another plan…" Chu Feng was at a loss.
"Please speak, my lord."
How could Qi Jiguang still dare to shout? He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed.
"Hey, hey, don't be so reserved. I prefer the relationship between monarch and minister.”
Chu Feng burped and pointed outside the city gate.""Old Qi, if I gave you five thousand soldiers, would you be like Huo Qubing?”
