After the fire bombardment, the ladder of the Ming army, which was divided into three sides, rose almost at the same time, and climbed the ladder to attack the city one by one.

The Eight Banners Army resisted stubbornly in the city, and the fire guns shot condescendingly, and boulders and boiling water were constantly thrown down the city wall, causing a lot of casualties to the Ming army.

When the battle was fierce, Zhu Youneng, who attacked Xicheng, jumped off his horse and rushed to the ladder to make a posture to climb the city, and even stepped on the ladder with one foot.

When the generals and Manchurian soldiers around him saw this, they were all shocked, where did they dare to let the main general climb the ladder to attack the city, in case the main general was hung up, or the Tartars on the city wall poured boiling water and drenched in a big bag, how could they command?

Thinking of this, the Manchurian soldiers rushed to climb the ladder and rush to kill, squeezing Zhu Youneng back.

Zhu Youneng scolded and pretended to be angry and returned to the back of the formation, shouting slogans loudly, and refused to really step forward again.

Wang Sanzhen, the forward brigade commander who attacked the north gate, the former deputy general of Liaodong, was extremely brave, holding a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, and climbing the ladder to attack the north gate tower.

The Eight Banners threw a boulder and hit him in the abdomen, Wang Sanzhen still fought non-stop, and the veterans of Liaodong behind him followed, rushing to kill, climbing the city many times, and being repulsed many times.

Qi Guangyang, who was mainly attacking the Seven Star Gate, was hit by a bullet from the Eight Banners, he changed his horse and fought again, and continued to command the siege!

The Qing army resisted stubbornly at the head of the city, firing guns, pushing ladders, smashing stones, pouring boiling water, sprinkling water, coughing up old phlegm, and all kinds of tricks were used.

The Ming army suffered a lot of casualties, and at the same time, they were also red-eyed, the ladder was overturned and framed, and the body was stoned, as long as it was not stoned to death, and then climbed.

As for the, old phlegm and other stolen goods that fall from the sky, it doesn't matter, and it's a disgusting enemy anyway!

Anyway, the most important thing at the moment is to climb the city wall and hack these turtle grandsons to death!

The Eight Banners are not a bad breed, they have a strong will to fight, and they don't say a word to the Ming army that attacked the city wall, which is hand-to-hand combat, and they would rather die in battle than run.

In fact, if you want to run, you can't run away, and the leader is watching from the side!

The battle at the three gates was extremely fierce, and only the south gate was quieter.

In fact, Mao Yuanyi used a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and it seemed that the main force of the Ming army, with the assistance of artillery, wanted to forcibly blast open the north gate.

In fact, what the Ming army really wanted to break through was Lumen in the south of the city!

Mao Yuanyi played a trick and ordered the Ming army attacking the south of the city to be dressed in the costumes of the Mongols of Urad and other tribes.

In addition, he brought some Mongolian soldiers, shouting Mongolian throughout the whole process, and the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the city knew that it was the Mongolian soldiers under the city as long as they were not deaf.

As for the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian soldiers, Zilharang had already understood it, and when he saw that it was this gang of scumbags attacking the south gate, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

The Ming army attacked the city on three sides, and the Qing army inevitably had to defend the city on three sides.

Seeing that the other two gates were almost broken, Zilharang directly ordered the troops of the south gate to be transferred to support the north gate and the Qixing gate, so that there were only a few thousand people at the head of the south gate to deal with the Mongol soldiers.

Mao Yuanyi was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Storm up, those who climb the city first will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver!" ”

Under the encouragement of the commander, the Ming army attacked bravely, or fired the cannon on the back, or climbed the ladder to cut down the eight banners defending the city.

In the fierce battle, the Mongolian costumes that got in the way were torn off by the Ming army, revealing bright red armor.

After learning about the situation at the South Gate, Zilharang was shocked, and then he suddenly woke up and hurriedly divided his troops to reinforce the South Gate, but where was the time?

At this time, the Ming army at the south gate had already attacked the city tower with a strong offensive, killed the Yellow Banner Lord Ah Shan, who was guarding the south gate, removed the banner of the Eight Banners Army, and firmly planted the Ming army's battle flag on the Lumen Tower at the South Gate!

As soon as the south gate was broken, the Qing army suffered from the enemy, Zhu Youneng led his troops to break through the west gate of the city, and Qi Guangyang broke through the northwest Qixing Gate.

At the same time, the north gate was blasted open by the Ming army's Hongyi heavy artillery, and Li Shaoyou also led his troops into the city.

With red-eyed eyes, 70,000 Ming troops swarmed into the city of Pyongyang.

The Qing army could not resist the onslaught of the Ming army, and constantly retreated into various fortresses in the city to defend it, trying to start street battles.

The battle had reached this field, and Zilharang should have surrendered under the white flag, or led his troops to break through from the east gate, but he was extremely resolute and swore to resist to the death, just not stopping.

After the complete loss of the outer city, Zilharang showed amazing psychological quality and military literacy, or the choice of the big man, gathered the remnants of the Eight Banners without panic, retreated to Fengyue Tower, and occupied a dangerous position in the inner city.

Fengyue Tower is a five- or six-zhang tall tower located in the northeast corner of Pyongyang, with a wide base and a very thick outer wall, and corner towers on each corner, and the wall is densely covered with shooting holes and lookout windows, making it a strong fortress.

After Zilharang issued the order, the Eight Banners soldiers from all directions in the city gathered towards Fengyue Tower, and they were all panicked.

Even the elite Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners Division were a little panicked at this time.

They used to be the best soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom, and even the status of the most ordinary soldiers of the Eight Banners was higher than that of the generals of some ordinary troops.

At this time, however, they were to defend the city in front of them, as they had done in the Nikans.

In the Eight Banners Division, a Manchurian Niu Lu Zhangjing in his forties trembled slightly, his name was Guarjia Zhuo Butai, and he was Aobai's younger brother.

How brilliant the Guerjia clan was in the past, Zhuo Butai was reviewed by many leaders such as Huang Taiji and Dolgon when he was young.

The iron-clad Manchurian Eight Banners, the flowing Qing Emperor, they can be said to be the elite of the elite!

Thinking back to the past, the young Zhuo Butai was the pride of the whole family, and his brother Ao Bai patted his shoulder every day and shouted: When you grow up, you will mix with me, and maybe you can cut off the heads of a few Ming generals and become the Baturu of Manchuria.

Zhuo Butai never thought that the brother of the first Baturu in Manchuria would cool down so quickly.

The glory of the Qing Dynasty has long fallen, and now the Eight Banners are more like lost dogs, forced here step by step by the Ming army!

At that time, the Ming army was just a bunch of mud legs in the eyes of the Eight Banners, but now it can be called the division of tigers and wolves, a group of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones!

Chobtai leaned closer to Zilharang and asked in a low voice, "Regent, do we still have a chance?" ”

His question was the voice of all the Eight Banners soldiers, and they wanted to get the answer from Zilharang's mouth, although the answer might not be what they wanted to hear.

Upstairs in Fengyue, Zilharang turned around and sighed: "We have no way to retreat, let's prepare to fight to the death!" ”

The word "death battle" came out, and it seemed to be fluttering, and it fell on the hearts of every Eight Banner soldiers, but it was like a giant hammer, shaking people's hearts.

Zilharang had no choice, and at this time in the battle, the casualties of the Eight Banners Army were at least four or five thousand, and they were on the verge of collapse.

He still knows very well the tactics of encircling three queyi, breaking through from the east gate is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, it is better to fight to the death, maybe the Ming army is reluctant to suffer large casualties, and takes the initiative to retreat.

The battle of Pyongyang, the tactics refer to the Ming army's attack on Pyongyang in the Wanli War to aid Korea, and pay tribute to the heroes!
