After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and slammed the table hard: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready, and prepare to attack the city tonight!" ”

Patton was taken aback and said, "King Khan, do you really believe what that man said?" We don't know his details at all, and if this is a trap set by the Qing Dynasty, it will be troublesome. ”

Geldan said in a dark voice: "This battle is not allowed to be defeated, whether it is a plan or not, this king must try, and there is a sentence he must not lie to this king, Daqing...... There is indeed a shortage of grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass can be cut off, let alone an army of 300,000, even if it is 800,000, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

It was precisely because of this that Geldan decided to give it a bold try, and he really couldn't wait to win this victory, and then attack the capital all the way, and cut the man who had shot through his ear with a thousand knives to quench the hatred in his heart! Yun Li...... Prince Guo! He must torture it to death with his own hands!

That night, Yue Zhongqi was awakened by a hurried knock on the door, it was his own soldiers who knocked on the door, only to see him hurriedly say: "General, Junggar has attacked the city, and the momentum is very strong, let's ...... We can't stop it. ”

"What?" Yue Zhongqi immediately got up from the bed and ran out, since the start of the war, he never took off his armor when he slept, just in case something would happen at any time, but he didn't expect that Junggar, who had been stopped for a while, would suddenly attack the city at night, without any warning in advance.

Walking quickly to the head of the city, he saw that there were torches all underneath, and by the light of the fire he saw Gerdan, who was personally in command of the army, who seemed to sense his gaze, and looked up with a grim smile.

In addition to storming the city gates, the army of Dzungar also set up ladders and climbed up the city walls, although the soldiers were constantly shooting arrows and throwing stones, but there were still people coming up one after another, and once these people came up, they would desperately tear and kill regardless of life and death, which made the pressure on the city defenders extremely great.

But it's better to say, it's the cannons, and Gerdan seems to have turned all the cannons, and every once in a while, the whole wall feels shaking, and then there will be a pit left in the wall.

"General, there are many people and firearms coming here this time, and we are afraid that we will not be able to stop it." The cronies said timidly, judging from the torches lit, the number of troops below definitely outnumbered the defenders several times, and more than ever before, it seemed that this time they wanted to take the city in one go.

In the face of the cannon, Yue Zhongqi was also a little stunned in his heart, and secretly scolded Geerdan for not knowing what nerves to be, and attacking the city fiercely at this time, and waiting for a few more days for the army to come to help. But the matter is already under the nose, it is useless to think about it, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, and many soldiers have begun to be afraid.

Thinking of this, Yue Zhongqi shouted: "Calm General Ben, isn't it just a few cannons, can you still be afraid, have you forgotten how we repelled them last time?" Attack those cannons with rockets,"

The soldier said with a bitter face: "General, this time they will mount the cannon far away, and the range of the arrow is not enough, so it can't be like last time." ”

This is also the reason why the city wall has not fallen after so many cannon bombardments, otherwise if it is close, even the thickest city wall will be captured at this time.

Yue Zhongqi gritted his teeth and said, "Take General Ben's bow and arrow!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly took the bow and arrow and handed it to him, Yue Zhongqi aimed at one of the cannons, pulled the big bow and shot out, Geldan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, and he didn't do anything, and shot in front of the cannon from the arrow.

During the previous siege of the city, Yue Zhongqi aimed at the cannon that had ignited the fuse in this way, shot a rocket into the muzzle of the cannon, and triggered the shells inside, causing the cannon to explode alive, destroying one of the few cannons, not to mention killing several people next to him. It was for this reason that he did not continue to attack the city for a long time, but only stalemate with Yue Zhongqi.

This time, the appearance of the dark falcon forced him to make the decision tonight, to capture the city at any cost, only in this way can he have a chance of winning against the 300,000 people. War is a gamble, and he bets all the winners of this game!

Although Yue Zhongqi's arm strength was better than that of other soldiers, he still failed to shoot the muzzle like last time, and he just touched it next to him and fell to the ground weakly.

When Yue Zhongqi's face turned pale, Barton also said in Geerdan's ear: "King Khan, if we continue like this, we will not have enough shells. ”

Geldan glanced at the few cannonballs piled on the ground, and said coldly: "If it is not enough, I will continue to fight for this king, and I must attack the city tonight!" ”

Barton persuaded again: "But in this way, our losses are too great, and these cannons will not be able to be used later, and the red-haired devils may not be willing to replenish us." ”

Geldan said expressionlessly: "We have already lost so much, what is the use of the remaining few, it is better to take this opportunity to capture the city in one fell swoop, so that we can have hope of entering the capital." ”

"But ......," Barton was about to persuade again, but Gerdan had already said, "this king has made up his mind, and you need no more. ”

In siege warfare, the threat of artillery is more terrible than anything else, the reason why Yue Zhongqi can hold it for so long, his own ability is certainly useful, but Geldan does not dare to use artillery at will is also one of the keys, he really can't figure out what Geldan is crazy about tonight, one after another, as if he has to shoot out the cannonballs.

The walls of the city were under cannonballs, and there were more and more potholes, which made the people standing at the gates feel like they were crumbling. Although Yue Zhongqi was in a hurry, he had no better way, so he could only let the soldiers at the head of the city try to prevent them from attacking the city.

Finally, after the last shell was fired at the pothole-ridden wall, the wall finally could not hold up and collapsed with a bang, revealing a large hole behind the smoke.

Finally...... Or has it been breached?

Different from Yue Zhongqi's death-like complexion, Geerdan raised his saber in anger and said loudly: "Warriors of Zhungeer, rush in with this king and seize the entire Central Plains!" ”

He was responded with a deafening cry, "Kill! ”

Looking at the Junggar cavalry who rushed in from the hole, Yue Zhongqi also took out the matching knife on his waist, and said with a sad expression: "We are the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and behind us is our country and family, even if we die, we must guard this place and not let these Yi people step further!" Go, follow me to kill the enemy! ”

"Defend to the death! Defend to the death! The soldiers also raised their swords and followed him down the city wall and engaged the soldiers of Dzungar, but this qiē was in vain, once the city wall was breached, they had no advantage in the face of an enemy several times their size and even muskets, and the outcome of the battle was doomed.
