When Liu Dazhang heard the missionary officer's voice, he stood up immediately and picked up the iron-headed wooden gun he had made.
Suddenly, Liu Dazhang put away the wooden gun again, and rushed into a room with the rope. He tied up his pregnant wife and said to the women and children in the house who could not join the war: "Help watch over me, don't be a spy for the Tartars!"
"Captain Liu, go, we will take care of you!" said another pregnant woman.
Liu Dazhang's wife cried: "I'm going to give birth to you, and you still can't believe me?"
"We'll talk about it after you give birth to the cub." Liu Dazhang put down his sentence, and went out with his gun without looking back.
Liu Dazhang's wife was his former mistress, a Manchu woman who was taken away by the Datong army.
As for those in the house, most of them were snatched back. There are Manchu women, Han women, and even Mongolian women. They are all pregnant, and the Liaodong Peninsula is about to usher in a wave of births.
Too many people were evacuated from the city, and the houses were almost not enough to live in. These pregnant women were taken care of intensively.
"The peasant soldiers go out to fight, the peasant soldiers go out to fight!"
Liu Dazhang yelled along the way that he was still a serf last year, but this year he has become the captain of the Datong Army's peasant soldiers, and he is in charge of 30 Liaodong peasant soldiers.
Not far away, Jin Guozhen also brought the farmers over.
Jin Guozhen was in command of the Korean peasants and soldiers, who were all Korean serfs captured by the Qing Dynasty. It was the Datong Army who liberated them and divided them into fields for farming.
There are also a large number of non-pregnant women who are also organized to carry supplies, and they can also go into battle with weapons at critical moments. These are the families of the soldiers of the 11th Division. Parents and children stay in their hometown, and the wives move to Liaodong to live with their husbands.
Outside the city of Gaizhou, the Manchus were ready to attack.
Jin Guozhen didn't even need a mission officer to boost morale, but he said to the North Korean peasants and soldiers: "We were all taken away from North Korea by the Tartars. Ten of us left our hometown, and at most one or two are still alive. There is not enough food, the Tartars Just let us starve to death; if it is too cold in winter, we will freeze to death. We usually farm the land for the Tartars, and we can¡¯t get enough to eat. Do you still want to live like that?¡±
"I don't want to!" North Korean peasants and soldiers roared.
Jin Guozhen also said: "The heavenly soldiers and generals of the Datong Army rescued us from the Tartars. Many of you have no surnames. The Datong Army let you have your own surnames. What a kindness! I will give you surnames, but the Tartars will not give you surnames. Only the Datong Army will give you surnames. The Datong Army will also allocate fields for you, and assign women to marry and start families. If Gaizhou City is captured, your fields will be gone. , your homes are gone, your wives are gone, and your surnames are gone. Do you want to work hard with the Datong Army?"
"Fight! Fight!"
The North Korean peasants and soldiers roared hysterically, as if they could jump out at any time and bite the enemy with their teeth.
Jin Guozhen pointed to a peasant soldier and asked, "What's your name?"
"Zhao Dinggui!" The farmer replied.
Jin Guozhen asked again: "Why is it called Zhao Dinggui!"
Zhao Dinggui roared and replied: "Zhao of Datong Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva, Dinggui of General Hu Dinggui!"
Jin Guozhen asked another person: "What's your name?"
The peasant soldier replied: "Hu kill the captives, Hu of General Hu, kill all the captives of the Tartars!"
Jin Guozhen said to the Korean peasants and soldiers: "You people, either follow the emperor's surname Zhao, or follow General Hu's surname Hu. Although you are all from North Korea, you will all be Chinese from now on, and you will be a well-known citizen of the Celestial Dynasty. We are the people of Bodhisattva Zhao at birth, and Bodhisattva Zhao's ghost at death, long live His Majesty the Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva!"
"Long live His Majesty Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva!"
These Korean peasants and soldiers were almost fanatical, and their eyes were red.
When the lord of North Korea surrendered, the Manchu Qing plundered half a million people from North Korea. Either die of illness, or exhaustion, or freeze to death, or starve to death, or even be used as cannon fodder during the siege. At this time, one out of ten has already survived.
They have suffered too much, even if they are honest serfs, they are very likely to die abnormally. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I never want to live a life of darkness again.
Among the people in Liaodong, Zhao Han's nickname is not Zhao Tianwang or Mr. Zhao, but Zhao Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.
There are no doctors in remote villages. If you are sick, you will kneel down and pray for the blessing of Zhao Bodhisattva.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The shelling is still going on, and the Qing artillery is aimed at the Datong artillery on the city wall. The artillery of the Datong Army is aimed at thoseThe Eight Banners soldiers outside could only speed up and charge towards the city wall.
"Boom!"
A piece of sawdust flew out from the shattered car, and pierced Tulai's cheek hard.
Although a tooth was knocked loose, this minor injury is nothing. The real headache is that the car is gone. Tulai drew his sword and shouted: "Run and rush over!"
Tulai is Obai's cousin. Historically, he participated in the Battle of Dalinghe, Songjin, and Shanhaiguan. He led troops to capture Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Longwu of Nanming.
Both Tulai and Aobai brothers are Haoge's loyal confidantes, and they were thrown out by Dorgon to attack the city with their lives.
A cannonball jumped from the ground, and the soldiers around Tulai were broken by the iron bullet, and then flew to the back and killed several of them one after another.
This side has the fiercest firepower, because the front is the gap in the city wall that was blown down.
"Lao Yang!"
On the city wall, a group leader roared in grief.
However, not far from him, Yang Ye, the artillery commander of the 11th Division of the Datong Army, was killed.
Yang Ye was born as a scholar. He was proficient in arithmetic when he was young, and later studied mathematics systematically. He had only been in the army for four years. Because of his talent, he was promoted very quickly, but now he died unexpectedly in Gaizhou.
It was really an accident, Yang Ye was directing the artillery to adjust the angle, when a full cannonball flew over, smashing the bricks of the female wall into the air, and then the bricks hit Yang Ye's head.
"Boom boom boom!"
The artillery of the Datong Army vented their anger with shells.
Tu Laizhen was running and charging, and a shell roared towards him. He didn't feel it at first, as if he was rubbed by something, and the inertia led his body to lean back.
After a few more seconds, Tulai felt severe pain: "Ah! Ah! My arm is gone!"
The cannons used to defend the city are prone to ricochets because of the angle. Tulai's arm was broken by a ricochet, and before the shells stopped, four more were killed and injured with blood stains.
Suddenly, the artillery from both sides stopped one after another.
?Because the Manchu Qing siege troops were approaching the city, the Manchu artillery stopped for fear of accidental injury, and the Datong artillery stopped because the angle was too large to hit.
The Manchu Qing successfully pushed over a dozen carts, and there were also many ladders with wooden shields.
Most of the chariots are in front of the gap in the city wall, but it is a pity that Gaizhou City did not imitate the bastion, and used the sharp-angled enemy towers like Ningyuan, which formed a short-term dead angle of firepower, and neither firecrackers nor bows could attack the enemies behind the chariot.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Manchu firearms stood on the steps of the chariot and fired at the gap in the city wall through the shooting holes.
The fallen wall formed a three-meter-high, twelve-meter-wide, and six-meter-thick earth-rock platform.
The ladder was erected, and Oboi commanded the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and quickly climbed up the earth-rock platform along the ladder. After climbing up half of his body, he lay on the edge of the earth-stone platform and pulled Manqing's heavy arrow away with all his strength.
Before they shot heavy arrows, thousands of enemies were smashed down on the city walls on both sides.
