Liukou is not good at shooting, and the strength of the bow and arrow is not very large. Many of them were almost exhausted when they reached the head of the city, and they were all surrounded by the shield walls, and the defenders suffered almost no casualties.

has always been not good at siege warfare, positional warfare is Liukou's favorite tactic, and Sun Chuanting died in positional warfare.

These siege rogues were all infantry, they were all prepared for the siege, the cavalry did not move at all in the back, as soon as the city gate was opened, they began to storm together quickly.

Zhu Youzhen watched this fierce siege battle with all his attention, and suddenly a group of people rushed to the city, including men, women, and children, and were immediately stopped by the soldiers.

The commander of the new army stepped forward and shouted:

"Who? All retreat, this is a military location, otherwise they will all die. ”

Seeing the muzzles of the guns pointed at them in the hands of the soldiers, these people who came all stopped, but they were still shouting:

"Official, let us go up, we are here to guard the city, otherwise the city will be broken and the Ming Dynasty will be over, and we will live and die with the Ming Dynasty."

"Defending the city? Are you kidding. ”

Although the commander was also infected by the loyalty of these people, he still hesitated when he saw these people, there were men, women, and children, and they were still guarding the city, and it was almost the same as adding to the chaos.

He didn't dare to call the shots, and hurriedly thought about Zhu You's report:

"Report to the emperor, there are many people here, and they want to go to the city to defend the city."

"Oh, who are these people?"

Zhu Youzhen felt strange, turned around and walked in front of the group of people, his heart warmed, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.

According to historical records, when the city of Jingshi was broken, there was no one to defend the city at all, perhaps referring to those Ming soldiers and some brocade guards.

And today, these people are almost all eunuchs and palace maids, and there is no record of history at all.

I saw a large group of eunuchs and palace maids, more than 200 people, all holding weapons in their hands.

Some palace maids obviously have no martial arts, and they are a little staggered when they walk with spears on their shoulders.

Although most of the people who came, they were helpless.

But the eunuchs and palace maids all dared to come, and they were all loyal, and this was also the only person in Jingshi who was willing to help Zhu Youzhen.

The eunuchs themselves were the emperor's domestic slaves, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, and their road came to an end, but the civil and military officials were different, they could sell their masters for glory and wag their tails and beg for mercy.

The palace maids and eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace were all driven away by Emperor Chongzhen the day before yesterday, and these eunuchs and palace maids must be from other palaces, and Zhu Youzhen has almost never seen them.

Now the army is shooting arrows at the top of the city, these people can't come up at all, otherwise there will definitely be casualties, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop all these people.

"Everyone listen to me, the mood is understandable, but don't come up, all retreat, you have no experience in this area at all, and you are likely to shoot a bow and arrow to death when you come up."

When this group of eunuchs and palace maids saw Zhu Youzhen, they all knelt on the ground and cried, who would have thought that the great son of tomorrow would actually stand at the head of the city to guard the Jingshi.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, you can come to defend the city in person, of course we have to do our part, whether it is for ourselves or for the Ming Dynasty, even if we are broken ...... bones."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand:

"You all go down, my army will definitely be able to hold the Jingshi, if you really want to do your part for the Ming Dynasty and help those firehead troops, you are more needed there."

"This ...... Emperor Xie ......"

Zhu Youzhen's words are the holy decree, these people looked up at the mighty army on the head of the city, and all of them obediently went to the Huotou army for help, and there was no problem with washing and cooking.

"Whoosh ......"

As soon as the men left the city, there was another rain of arrows, but most of them were blocked by shields, and there were no casualties.

As the commander of the Ming Dynasty who was temporarily appointed by Zhu Youzhen, Qi Jiguang looked at those rogue archery with contempt, and couldn't help laughing:

"Traitors, now let you taste the taste of my Great Flame Gun and Blossom Bomb, and light the fire."

Qi Jiguang gave an order, and the soldiers of the 8,000 Shenji Battalion lit the flowering bombs in their hands one after another in order, and threw them at the rogue army besieging the city in rows.

At the same time, the firearms in the hands of the 20,000 new troops and the Qi family army also began to fire at the same time.

"Boom ......"

"Bang Bang ......"

With a loud bang, these flowering bombs exploded on their heads and around them along with the firecrackers, and the siege rogues fell in an instant, but the attack on the city did not stop, it continued.

Flowering shells fell from the sky, like a rain of flowering bullets, and among them were rockets and shrapnel fired by firearms.

"Brothers, it's terrible, the Ming army is too fierce, we can't get close to the city at all, retreat quickly."

"What to withdraw, the general doesn't order, it's a dead end to retreat, it's better to climb up, in case you survive, the silver women have ......"

"Bang Bang ......"

The rogue soldier who was still delusionally trying to climb up to the top of the city just now was suddenly hit by a few flowering bullets, and more than a dozen of them fell around him in an instant, and the woman's silver of this goods instantly turned into nothing.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the city was already full of corpses of Liukou, and most of the 100,000 Liukou army that had just besieged the city had suffered casualties, and they basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the casualties of the rogues in front of him were too large, Hao Shaoqi gave an order, and the 50,000 Ming troops under his command began to storm the city gate.

"Open the gun"

Seeing the reinforcements of the Liukou reinforcements, Qi Jiguang ordered the cannon to fire again.

Suddenly, countless shells exploded in the siege army of the Liukou, and the explosion caused them to turn on their backs, and as soon as they attacked the city, the flowering shells exploded above their heads.

This siege can be said to be the most difficult since the establishment of the Liukou, and it is also the largest casualty.

But he resisted his anger and ordered in a fit of rage:

"Order, suspend the siege."

Although these rogues are brave and not very afraid of death, who is willing to die if they can live, hearing the order to withdraw the army, they immediately began to retreat quickly.

Seeing Liu Zongmin retreating, Hao Shaoqi also felt that he couldn't fight like this, and then ordered a retreat.

"Pass my order, suspend the siege, and retreat five miles."

In the first siege battle, the rogues ended in failure, leaving corpses and stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and the rogues retreated in disarray.

"Your Majesty, look, the Liukou have stopped attacking the city and started to retreat, should we attack and kill them for a while, and kill all these people who are attacking the city today."

Sun Chuanting pointed to the retreating rogues and wanted to go out of the city to fight.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head:

"We won't fight today, there are still a lot of things to do in the city, tomorrow you will have a good time, check the gunpowder and the wounded, and replenish all the supplies you need."

"Obedience"

Although the siege of the Liukou failed, the Liukou still had hundreds of thousands of troops, and once they were surrounded by them, it would be troublesome, and there were more ants and they would bite the elephant to death.

It didn't take long for Qi Jiguang to come over and report:

"Your Majesty, one hundred and thirty people were injured, but the injuries were not serious, most of them were of poor quality firearms, and their own people were injured by mistake."

"What? With so many accidental injuries, how many more gunpowder and flowering shells are there? ”

Hearing that he had accidentally injured a hundred and ten people, Zhu Youzhen was shocked, it seemed that he had to change their equipment, otherwise it would be dangerous if such a situation happened again when the rogue attacked the city with all his might.
