044 First Battle (3)

On the fourth day, in order to flatten the plum blossom piles and deer antler formation behind the outer trenches and let the siege equipment continue to advance, the Qing army killed and injured hundreds of people, and almost every step forward had to pay the price of bleeding. If it weren't for the miscellaneous brands consumed, Li Chengdong wouldn't have done this even if he had to kill him.?                                                                                                                   w  w?w?

One day, two days, three days... Seven or eight days later, after paying more than 300 trenches and more than 2,000 miscellaneous troops, the Qing army finally filled several sections of the moat, cleared several passages, and pulled the front line under the Wuzhou city wall.

South City.

Under the banner of Daqiu with the word "Qing" embroidered with the word "Qing", the main force of the Qing army's more than 10,000 soldiers were divided into more than ten thousand teams. The Zheng surrendered army was in front, and the old soldiers in the headquarters were in the back, forming one siege after another.

The terrain under the city wall on the south side of Wuzhou is the flattest, which is most conducive to the army's formation. Li Chengdong has laid a large number of main forces here.

Surrounded by layers of army, there were thirteen three thousand kilograms of red cannons with faint light. There were several gunners standing beside each of the red cannons, with their muzzles worth more than five inches, like the bloody mouth of a monster, terrifying and terrifying.

Storm, "dong!dong!dong!dong!dong!..." The roar of cowhide drums like thunder sounded. This was the signal that the central army fired artillery.?                                                                                                       �

?

The gunners got the instructions and skillfully began to clear the chamber, fill the medicine, arrange the fuse, etc. until the loading was completed. With the order from the flag-holder, the flag waved: "Let it--!"

The gunners immediately lit the fuse fuse with torches, then covered their ears and squatted beside them. When the fuse was burned out, the ground suddenly shook violently, and an orange-red flame spit out from the cannon's gun mouth. Then the smoke filled the guns, and the shells flew to the Wuzhou city wall, causing the bricks and stone fragments to splash.

The personal army commander Wu Jisi on the city tower stood up to protect Zhu Youlang and said with concern: "The city is dangerous. The emperor, please go down the city quickly and leave it to Mr. Zhai and his subordinates!"

"No!" Zhu Youlang pushed Wu Jisi away and said resolutely: "I want to supervise the battle here and swear to live and die together with Xing!"

Before he finished speaking, a rock blasted onto the female wall not far away, smashing a section of the female wall to pieces, and debris flew everywhere. More than a dozen Ming soldiers around him fell to the ground due to injuries and falling to the ground. Zhu Youlang was also smashed by a piece of bricks and stone fragments.

Fortunately, he had mail protection and his injuries were not serious. He stood up and smiled contemptuously at the Qing army under the city, saying, "The power of the Tartar cannons is not so powerful. The soldiers, let's fight back and kill them!"

When the Ming army's gunners were ordered, they also fired artillery and fought back. However, this time the Qing army learned the lesson and the queues were very sparse, and the iron bombs fired from the artillery were not ideal. Instead, they were not as effective as the Qing army's artillery, which could destroy the city walls and create gaps, making it easier for one side to climb the city.

The Qing army's artillery bombarded, "Dong! dong! dong!..." The drum sound changed again. As the drum sound changed, the Qing army's crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows, and they all pointed at Wuzhou City.

Under the cover of cannons and crossbows, teams of Qing soldiers, holding rattan signs, carrying cloud ladders, pushing and crashing cars, rushed to the base of the wall in a tight manner, and were packed with armor and knife to climb along the cloud ladder. The Ming army rolled wood and beat stones together, and the Qing army on the cloud ladder screamed repeatedly, and was constantly knocked and knocked down, and the ladder was filled with corpses.

The Qing army's supervisory team under the city kept urging the soldiers to attack: "Stop! Go up! Those who dare to retreat will be killed!" Under the sword of the supervisory team, the Qing army braved the arrows and stones, and was driven to climb up the ladder one by one, and was about to approach the battlement of the city wall.

A few huge wolf teeth suddenly flew down from the battlement. The wolf teeth were made of elm wood into a dustpan shape, and were covered with wolf teeth iron nails. The knife was embedded with sharp blades on all sides. The knife was one and a half inches into the wood. Several Qing soldiers near the battlement were swept by the wolf teeth, and immediately their brains burst, blood splattered everywhere, and they fell to the city and died on the spot.

A Qing army general, wearing a sling and three layers of iron armor, biting a steel knife in his mouth, climbing up the rock along the ladder. The falling wolf teeth and rolling stones and wood were all avoided by him. The arrows and leads shot out were also blocked by his iron armor, and they were unstoppable and they were approaching the mercer step by step.

Seeing that he could not do anything, the Ming army held the fork rod and used the horizontal blade at the front of the fork rod to press the ladder against the ladder, and then pushed it away hard. The ladder shook for the first time, but it was not pushed down. The Qing general stabilized and continued to climb. Seeing this, the Ming army couldn't help but increase its strength. When the Qing general was about to climb to the top, he finally forked the ladder and pushed it down. Before the Qing general could react, the Qing general on the ladder and other Qing soldiers fell down and died in a series of falls. Archers and musketeers from all sides of the city were still firing at each other. The fire was everywhere, and the killing sound was shocking, all trying to suppress the opponent's attack.

On the central army's watchtower, Li Chengdong saw that the casualties of the conventional ant-suited climbing city were too expensive, so he decided to use a goose cart to dig the city wall. If he couldn't break through the city, he broke through from the city.

As the general order was constantly conveyed, the first wave of attacking Qing troops retreated, and the second wave of Qing troops pushed five or six large goose cars across the moat and drove down the city.

Although the goose cart was made of wooden, the outside was wrapped in iron sheet. After the Ming army's arrows hit the body, they were bounced back by the iron sheet and could not damage the body. There were dozens of Qing soldiers in each cart, and wooden wheels were installed on both sides of the cart. The Qing army pushed the cart in the cart. Seeing the goose cart crossing the moat, the Ming army was really powerless. When it reached the base of the wall, the Qing soldiers used pre-prepared shovels to dig the city wall.

After General Zhai Shili responded to Zhu Youlang, his face was as deep as water and said to the Ming army general beside him: "The Tartars are cunning and want to break through the city from the city with a goose cart. It's really a delusion! Warriors, who dares to go out of the hidden military cave to destroy those goose carts for me!"

"I am willing to go!"

"I am willing to go!"

...

Wu Jisi, the commander of the Guards, Jiao Lian, the commander of the Huben Camp, and Bai Gui, Tang Wenyao and others knelt on one knee and took the initiative to ask for orders.

Wu Jisi and Jiao Lian were the commander-in-chief and could not take risks in person. Zhu Youlang decided to select thirty people from the others who voluntarily asked for the mission.

"I am standing here and see you make contributions and defeat the enemy and return triumphantly!"

Thirty warriors were wearing heavy armor, holding spears and swords, and after bidding for the emperor, they rushed down the city wall and rushed out of the Tibetan military cave! At that moment, they all knew that after leaving the city, the enemy would be besieged for a lifetime.

One person fought hard, ten people could not defeat him. Thirty Ming soldiers were fearless. The Qing army could not stop him. They rushed to the goose cart in one breath and pulled the wooden plug that had been arranged in advance to trap the military pit.
