Chapter 60 Abandoned City

Luo Li looked much better after hearing this. After staring at Xu Yixian for a while, he laughed and pounded Xu Yixian's chest, which made Xu Yixian immediately cover his chest and cough loudly. He retreated and waved his hand to Luo Li and said, "No, I can't stand it. General, this fist!"

"Haha! After all, Mr. Xu is a literati. I, an old man, now know that if you scholars do something bad, it will be ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times worse than me! Haha! Awesome! You can also think of this way! I admire Lao Luo! When the emperor asked you to follow me, I really looked down on you! Now I, Lao Luo, find that I really can't live without you, Mr. Xu! Haha! Just do as you say! Come on..." Luo Li completely turned into joy at this moment, smiled at Xu Yixian, and then began to order.

The fierce battle continues. In the face of the attack of the flood-like slave army, the Dazhong Army is still stubbornly resisting. The city of Xiluo City is already like a mountain of corpses, but the two sides are still constantly creating new deaths, adding a corpse to this corpse-like battlefield.

In the city of Silo, an engineering battalion drove into the city of Silo, carrying a box of things, and began to dig pits everywhere in the city of Silo. It was very busy.

The wounded soldiers in the city were evacuated from the city in batches. Another group of people and large and medium-sized soldiers will begin to gather behind Xiluo City. While building fortifications, they will continue to pull out the troops from other places and strengthen to the rear of Xiluo City.

Luo Li personally went to the place where the most fierce battle in Xiluo City commanded the battle, while Xu Yixian and other staff officers were busy deploying manpower. As long as they could invest in the battlefield, they used the resources, including Minfu, and began to transfer some materials in Xiluo City out of the city, just like cleaning. Transfer all the things that can be used to the gate outside the city.

Li Shutai, the owner of the blue flag of the Han army, stared at the war ahead behind the offensive team, and his heart was also convulsed. Few people knew Li Shuai's identity, but I'm afraid many people knew that Li Shutai's father was Li Yongfang, the first Ming army general to surrender to Jiannu in the early years, but Li Yong Fang had died as early as the eighth year of Tiancong, and Li Shuotai, as his eldest son, inherited Li Yongfang's mantel and continued to work for Jiannu. This time, when the Eight Banners of the Han Army was formed, Li Shutai was awarded the post of Mele Zhangjing, that is, the deputy flag owner of the blue flag. He was ordered to lead the soldiers and horses under his command, and followed the blue flag Gushan was really gratifying. On the expedition, this time, he was ordered by Huang Taiji to be dispatched by Dorcon to attack Shanhaiguan.

This war caused heavy losses from the Han army under Li Shuaitai's inlaid blue flag, but Li Shutai did not dare to fart. He could only desperately press his hands and attack forward. Now Liu Zhiyuan's Han army's inlaid yellow flag has been completely disabled, and Liu Zhiyuan has also been bombarded by the cannons of the defenders. His Han army is inlaid with blue flag and Wu Shou. The red flag of the advancing Han army has become the main force of the attack, but under repeated consumption, their losses have basically reached the extreme, and they are almost unbearable.

Some men also suggested that he order the withdrawal of troops, but Li Shutai knew the temperament of Dorcon and their slave masters. Since they wanted their Han troops to die, they had no choice but to die, so he could only force himself to continue to supervise the attack and fill a group of batch of subordinates he regarded as capital into this. In the bottom hole-like meat grinder, he was hanged on the battlefield in an instant.

Just when he was close to complete despair, Li Shutai felt that the artillery fire in front of him began to become sparse. The kind of Thunderbolt gun that had just exploded densely was no longer so dense. The attacking team began to move forward slowly. He looked up. In the sky, at this time, the sun in the sky had tilted to the west. Li Shutai couldn't help but be a little excited. It seemed that the defenders of the Dazhong Army in Xiluo City finally couldn't stand it!

So he pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Kill it! The criminal thief can't stand it anymore! If you work harder, you will capture Xiluo City! Kill it! Go forward!"

Sure enough, when the large and medium-sized soldiers guarding the city arrived at this time, the resistance began to weaken. Groups of soldiers began to retreat and slowly withdrew from Xiluo City. Only a few soldiers were still making the final resistance under the leadership of Luo Li.

In the past day, the Jiannu army, which had always been unable to enter under the city of Xiluo, finally began to slowly push forward, stepping on the corpses of their robes, and began to force them into several gaps, gradually began to control the gaps, and squeezed the defenders to retreat into the city.

This made the desperate slave soldiers finally see a glimmer of hope and began to become more excited. They were no longer ashes as they were just now. They began to ignite hope in their hearts and shouted forward. Although they were still constantly being knocked to the ground by the defenders, they also It was obvious that the firepower of the defenders was not so dense and fierce, which made them even more crazy.

More and more slave soldiers began to squeeze into the entrance wall full of corpses and into the city of Silo. Luo Li's bodyguards looked very nervous. They were not afraid of death, but that their mad general would go crazy again at this time, so they grabbed Luo Li and advised him, "General! Withdraw! It's all ready! If you don't leave, you can't leave!"

Luo Li turned his head and looked at Xiluo City, which had become empty, and then nodded and said, "That's good! It's time to go! You don't have to pull me! I'm sober now! You won't go crazy! I will give you an order to ask the brothers to give the Tari again, and then withdraw them all! ......”

After hearing the order, these small number of soldiers who finally stayed in Xiluo City to resist, pulled out the last remaining Thunderbolt gun between their waists, immediately stretched out their hands to light the fire folds or torches, and shouted "kill slaves..." one by one.

Then they threw out these smoky Thunderbolt cannons one after another, and then turned around regardless, and ran towards the south gate of Xiluo City, regardless of the slave soldiers behind them who attacked the city.

With the sound of a fierce explosion, the slave soldiers who rushed into the city of Siro were immediately blown up in the explosion, and had to retreat again to avoid these terrible plague-like Thunderbolt cannons, which was such a burst of smoke, covering the remaining large and medium-sized soldiers. They quickly broke away from the Jiannu army. They flew like rabbits one by one and fled to the south gate of Xiluo City. In a short time, they escaped from the south gate of Xiluo City.

When Li Shuitai stepped on a gap, he saw that there were only their slave soldiers in Xiluo City. The defenders only left a batch of corpses. What they could run was empty, and there was no living garrison anymore. Countless slave soldiers began to cheer and rush in from the gap one. In Xiluo City, standing in the empty Silo City, these slave soldiers have a feeling for the rest of their lives after the disaster. Most of them dare not imagine that they can still attack this Xiluo City alive. Half an hour ago, this was something they didn't dare to think about, but now they are real. Stepping in this small city that they can hardly conquer in their opinion, many people think of the brothers they know who have already died outside the city, but they are extremely lucky that they can still live. After entering the city, many people actually sit on the ground and cry.

Li Shuai himself was in the same mood, but after all, he was the main general. He always had to restrain his mood and immediately put their blue flag on the city. Soon after, Wu Shoujin also led the red flag to enter the city of Xiluo. After the two met, they held their fists. They all felt that there was nothing to say. We couldn't talk about celebrating. The casualties under their respective command were too heavy. After this battle, their two flags were almost disabled. Although they conquered Xiluo City, there was nothing to celebrate, so they all smiled bitterly and began to arrange people to occupy the enemy buildings on the city walls and guard them first. Let's talk about it here.

It is said that the city wall is too high to look at Xiluo City at this time. After almost a day of fierce fighting, the enemy building of Xiluo City, which is not strong in the wall, is basically about to be flattened by the cannon fire of Jiannu. Even some houses in the city have been destroyed. In the small Xiluo City, the city is full of broken walls, and even one is available for him. We couldn't find a place to rest. The Jiannu who invaded the city could only temporarily arrange people to control some high places to prevent the defenders from counterattacking and take the city of Silo back from their hands.

After Dorgan saw the military flag of the Han army inserted on the top of the city of Xiluo City from afar, he breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, even he wavered just now. In his heart, he thought that this battle was going to be defeated again. Xiluo City must not be able to attack, and even had the idea of withdrawing the army, but in the end, he was still strong. After holding it for a while, now it has finally knocked down Xiluo City.

Although there is still a considerable distance between defeating Xiluo City and breaking through the entire Shanhaiguan defense line, being able to defeat Xiluocheng is equivalent to threading a nail in the defense line of the defenders, which is equivalent to knocking a hole in their strong eggshell. The next step is to tear open the Shanhaiguan defense line, which will not be so difficult.

The most important thing is that he can finally let his brother Huang Taiji see him. Dorgo is by no means an incompetent person. Such a strong mountain customs defense line was finally torn open by him, so that those people can also see that he is not the opponent of the criminal thief, and he can finally snow the shame of those years. .

So he immediately ordered to send someone to report the victory to the front guard Huang Taiji's camp, telling Huang Taiji that he had conquered Xiluo City in Shanhaiguan. In addition, he ignored that he killed more than 10,000 enemies in this battle. As for how many defenders were killed and injured, in fact, he knew very well that the defenders were far from his side. Losing big, but now he needs to boost his morale, so it is easier to falsely report some casualties of the defenders, and it is easier to cover up the losses on his side, so that he is said to have won this victory built up by human life.

(It's a trap! Hey hey! Ask for a reward?)
