Chapter 143 (5) Veteran Cadre Death Squad shines

The battle begins. Li Zicheng commanded the army and charged Shanhaiguan. Wow, wow, the Dashun bandits rushed towards the city like a tide, and they were so excited that they couldn't get any more excited. The defenders on the city tower also had red eyes, roared inhumanely, raised stones and smashed them down desperately.During the fierce battle, Wu Sangui suddenly appeared at the base of the city. This fellow was so courageous that he led a group of scholars and scholars who hadn't run away, and launched a suicide charge towards Li Zicheng's army. The battle started in the morning and continued until noon.Wu Sangui suffered heavy losses. Tan Youyang, a well-known poet in Shanhaiguan, and Liu Yizhen were forced to hold up a kitchen knife and follow Wu Sangui to attack Li Zicheng. Unfortunately, he died.

Even scholars were dragged to the battlefield, so we can see how embarrassed Wu Sangui was at this time. After noon, the northwest line of defense had been breached. More than 3,000 rogues flew straight to the north side of Xiluo City in Guancheng, and were about to ascend the city. At this time, a cry came from the tower: dear friends, you are finally here, we are looking forward to the stars, to the moon, and finally to You are here... Amidst this ardent call, the city gate was slowly opened. Three thousand bandits howled in excitement and rushed in. Then the city gate closed quietly again.

Charge, kill, the poor three thousand rogues entered the city, and found that they were trapped in the encirclement of Guan Liao cavalry. The fierce Liao soldiers rushed over with big knives in their hands. The rogues rushed to fight, but in the end, the rogues were just rogues , under the same number, they are not opponents of regular iron-blooded soldiers at all, only the sound of chopping meat and bones can be heard, and the city is like a big slaughterhouse. Not long after, these 3,000 unlucky people have been sent to the butcher shop , entered the sales stage. Three thousand people here were cut to pieces, and the bandits over there had already boarded the city.

Li Zicheng chose Beiyi City as a breakthrough point, and launched a fierce attack. Countless ladders were erected. Shanhaiguan Deputy Commander Leng Yundeng slashed fiercely with a knife, but he still couldn't resist. Uptown, swooping down on him. Wu Sangui found this situation, and urgently called for reinforcements. A group of powerful Guan Ningxiong soldiers came to kill him, only to hear howling on the tower, many bandits didn't even dare to fight these reinforcements, and actually gritted their teeth and jumped directly from the tower, falling to the ground. Whether there was life on the ground was a big question at the time.

Judging from the fighting situation between the two sides, Li Zicheng's rogues could not compare with Guan Ning's cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness. Realizing that there are far more troops on one side than the other side, Li Zicheng thought about it, simply, I dispatched all my troops and attacked from all sides. If I don't believe it, I won't be able to attack today. Once this order is issued, Wu Sangui will be in danger, the rogues will force their way to the city from all directions, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry rushes here and there, obviously out of support.At a critical moment, a group of old men with white beards suddenly rushed out. This is a death squad for veteran cadres led by local gentry.The old guys are so old that even their eyebrows are white, but they fight as before, and they run at an amazing speed, from the east of the city to the west of the city. I have never encountered such a strange thing before. I was beaten into a panic and retreated one after another.

At night, when both sides were tired from fighting, they switched to artillery fighting. The sound of the rumbling artillery shook the world, and the flames of explosions constantly flashed in the night sky. The Qing army who had just marched fifteen miles away from Shanhaiguan was so shocked that their scalps went numb and they dared not go forward.
