Chapter 211

The next day, after breakfast, the army began to attack the city. Qin Huan would not delay until tomorrow, nor would he engage in any siege.

At this time, he regretted that there were few soldiers and horses going north this time. If he brought all the infantry, firearm soldiers and personal guards, he really wanted to come to a stronghold to help and continue to expand the results.

At that time, he was also on guard against sun chuanting's killing. After all, there was a one percent chance that he had to guard against it.

Qin Huan didn't siege on all sides, but surrounded the South and East. Only a small number of fire gun soldiers were left on both sides, accompanied by personal guards and female soldiers.

Tartars rushed out of the city gate on horseback, the firearm soldiers shot, ran over the wall, and the cavalry went up to kill. It seems that there are so many people and horses on both sides, but it is a real dead end.

The army attacked from the West and North at the same time.

With the drums of the attack.

I saw 3000 carpenters, pushing ladder after ladder, slowly pressing forward.

The ladder was close to each other. It was full of firearm soldiers and soldiers with shields. 1500 archers followed, and infantry swordsmen and shields also came forward to cover.

Looking at a row of ladders pressed by a wooden wall, the Tartars at the head of the city looked at each other. They really didn't know what to do except to shoot arrows.

However, there are half man high baffles in front of the ladder, and the carpenters who push the cart are also wearing rattan helmets and hiding under the ladder. They can't stop the approach of the ladder at all.

Once in a while, when someone is hit by an arrow, he will be dragged down by the shield for the first time to be treated by the female soldier. As long as he doesn't hit the face door, he can generally be saved.

Hundreds of ladders were forced from the northwest to ten steps outside the city wall before they stopped, as if two wooden walls had been erected out of thin air.

Instead of launching an attack immediately, the soldiers threw firecrackers at the head of the city, one at a time.

The firearm soldiers changed into short guns borrowed from the women's guards, got up and hit the wall, and the archers behind also threw waves of arrows at the city.

Qin Huan knew that the Tartar's arrow technique was fast and accurate. If he shot with a bird gun at a long distance, the firearm soldiers had to suffer a great loss, so he used a short gun in close combat.

Indeed, one after another explosions in the city, coupled with choking smoke, seriously affected the firing of Tartars.

Although firecrackers have little lethality, they can be hit in the face by scattered bamboo chips, but they can make people cry and howl, make a loud noise, and make people fear.

For a time, the fighting on the walls of the two cities was in full swing. The Tartars of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were better. They all had cotton armor with iron nails, and their protection was very comprehensive.

Unless you are hit by a solid bullet from a short gun, or the firecrackers explode in front of you, you won't fall down. Even the arrow rain thrown from under the wall is not a big problem as long as it doesn't hit the key.

But Mongolian Tartars don't have such good equipment. They are crying and howling and scurrying. They don't have time to bend their bows and arrows. They don't feel safe anywhere as long as they stay on the wall.

Similarly, although the firearm soldiers on the ladder borrowed a pair of cotton vests, wore helmets, and the soldiers raised their shields for protection, some people were shot at the face door by Tartars from time to time.

The Tartar's arrow technique is too fast and accurate. He bends his bow and takes an arrow at once when he catches a chance. He almost hits 100 shots in such a short distance.

However, under the influence of firecrackers and explosions, firearm soldiers still have a huge advantage. Similarly, as long as they fire, Tartars will fall, and then squat down to continue loading.

The fierce battle lasted only half an hour, and the ladder began to retreat slowly until it retreated a hundred steps away.

Because all the firecrackers had been thrown away, it was time for the firearm and war soldiers to change. Qin Huan just wanted to spend each other's troops with firearms at the head of the city first.

There's no way. These Tartars are now trapped animals, not lambs to be slaughtered. It's easy to rush to the city, but if he wants to kill all the others, he estimates it a little. In the end, he's afraid he won't have to pay the same casualties.

After all, whether hand to hand combat on the head of the city or fighting after entering the city, it is a scuffle, and the infantry cannot form an array to cooperate.

When the two walls were shot down, nearly 1000 Mongolian Tartars and 400 eight flag warriors were killed and injured, which made yuetuo anxious.

If the other party wants to attack the city again, I'm afraid they haven't attacked the city yet. They will tell them all on the head of the city. It's obvious that the posture of the Ming army is coming again.

"These damn Ming troops, where are they attacking the city? Go and escort those cowardly Han people to me. "

Yue Tuo scolded fiercely for a while. Seeing that the other party's ladder was slowly forced up again, a touch of cruelty appeared on his face.

Not long after, hundreds of landlords and gentry, old and young, were taken up, trembling and pale, still dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Shout quickly and let them stop attacking, or you will all die together."

"The Ming brothers below..."

"Don't shoot indiscriminately..."

The gentry and old men, seeing this battle, don't understand what's going on?

He was so frightened that he shouted quickly.

Some did not work, but also made cruel threats.

If they dare to ignore their own life or death, they will write a letter to impeach their Lord general.

King Qin stood on a cloud ladder in the rear. When he saw this scene and heard their shouts, he smiled.

If the young ladies, wives and concubines of large families were taken to the city, they might still be able to take care of one or two according to the style of King Qin's pity for incense and jade, but these landlords, please ask for more luck.

Just now in the first World War, more than 300 soldiers and firearm soldiers were killed by arrows, so he planned to go back and forth like this. First, he would attack him several times, and then rush to the city in the afternoon.

This time, thanks to the participation of hundreds of gentry and old men in Chinese clothes, the cries on the city head were particularly harsh and miserable. Mongolian Tartars had leather armor, but they were meat targets.

One by one, their bodies were filled with arrows, their beards and hair were smoked by gunpowder, and their faces were covered with broken bamboo chips. They were relieved when they were dead, and they rolled on the ground when they were not dead.

Before everyone died, there was only one thought in their hearts, that is, to be a ghost, but also to give dreams to the relatives and classmates of those officials and impeach the generals of the Ming army.

After the second wave, there were only more than 3000 Tartars left, and almost half of them were still injured. How embarrassed and how embarrassed they should be.

Among the 3000 people, eight Chengdu are eight flag warriors. Obviously, the Mongolian Tartars are almost dead.

The casualties of the Chinese army did not increase but decreased. Although the powder cans were consumed badly, this time in Tangyi County, they got a lot of sulfur. Obviously, after Kong Youde took refuge, the Tartars were also collecting.

"Lord Baylor, these Ming dogs are so shameless that they know to hide on the ladder, throw the thunder and shoot black guns, and dare not rush up to fight with the warriors. It's too cold to pour the boiled dung over. I'm afraid they can't even persist today."

"So what? Can you give up the wall and retreat into the city? "

Yue Tuo's face was like ashes. He no longer seemed to be in high spirits when he surrounded Lu Xiangsheng. Several backbone members also didn't know what to do in the face of this situation.

In the past, they fought to death when they won. If it was difficult to fight, they ate it slowly, and if they couldn't win, they ran away.

But now they are locked up in the city. If they rush out on horseback, they will die. If they abandon their horses and climb over the wall on foot, the other party's cavalry is obviously waiting for them.

At the moment, yuetuo also regretted that he didn't resolutely abandon his horse and break through the wall yesterday. There were 7000 cavalry from Du Du yesterday, and at least half of them could walk away.

However, he did not expect that these Ming troops were so shameless and powerful. They were reluctant to give up their horses yesterday, resulting in no chance today.

"Lord Baylor, minggou attacked again. This time... It seems a little different this time."

"Oh?"

Yuetuo quickly looked around. Sure enough, the baffle in front of the ladder was more than ten feet higher than the previous two times, and almost all the people on it were strong men.

Even if he didn't understand it any more, Yue Tuo only guessed that the other party was going to ascend the city. Suddenly, a decisive roar appeared on his face: "athletes of the eight flags, let these despicable Chinese dogs see the power of our eight flag warriors today!"
