Jishiha quickly got a reply, and an arrow was fired in front of the formation, and when he opened the note tied to it, he sneered.

If people kill themselves, the gods can't save them.

The self-righteous Ming Dog will make you pay the price today.

"Tell the order to go down and start the siege!"

Zishiha's order was very decisive.

He has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, even if he relies on human lives, it is enough to take it.

It's just that this time it was no longer the green battalion of the Qing army that was in the front, but the strong men who were captured by them.

These unarmed strong men were driven forward by the Qing army, knowing that they were going to die, and their eyes were full of despair.

What can be done, from the moment they were captured by the Qing army, their fate was already doomed, either they died of exhaustion on the march or died of filling ditches during the siege.

If they don't rush to the city, they will also be beheaded by the Qing soldiers, and there is no essential difference.

It's a moment to live.

"Damn! It seems that this rush is not the Qing soldiers, but the common people! ”

Wang Er Mazi found out about this for the first time, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

In fact, this is the usual method of the Qing army.

It's just that last time, Jishiha was too contemptuous of them and didn't bother to use them.

This time, Jishiha fully learned his lesson and included the drive of the people to attack the city in the whole plan.

Thousands of civilians rushed to the city walls, and the impact of that kind of resoluteness was really unacceptable.

"Damn Tartar, it's really not human!"

"What should the general do now?"

The soldiers all looked at Wang Er Mazi with a helpless expression.

Wang Er Mazi said in his heart, you ask me, who will I ask.

At this moment, Gan Hui said in a deep voice: "It is better to bombard the distance with artillery, so that you can deter these charging people and not hurt them." Then order people to shout, so that these people will stop the impact and scatter and flee for their lives. ”

Gan Hui's suggestion made Wang Ermazi's eyes light up.

yes, he didn't think of it.

The Ming army had artillery, and the role of artillery could be fully reflected at this time, first shouting to the people to let them flee for their lives, and then using firepower to suppress the Qing army so that they did not dare to rush up and kill the fleeing people.

This is already the best choice for the current situation.

"Pass the order, the gunners are ready to bombard! Aim for the Tartar front! In addition, they all shouted at Lao Tzu, telling the villagers to flee for their lives! ”

Of course, Wang Er Mazi knew that not all the people would be able to escape, but it was better than them all filling in the trenches and dying or being killed by the Qing army.

In this case, one can escape one by one.

The Ming soldiers did as they were told.

The artillerymen fired their artillery to suppress the fire, and the rest of the soldiers shouted: "Folks, go and run for your life, the Tartars will not be able to catch up with you!" ”

"Folks, run, don't be a substitute for the Tartars!"

"We're not going to beat you, run!"

I have to say that this shouting did work.

The people who were charging instinctively stopped when they heard the sound.

They stared blankly at the Ming soldiers who were desperately shouting at the head of the city, and it took a long time to understand.

Will they still be alive? Still have a chance to live?

If there is hope to live, who wants to die?

It's definitely not okay to run back, but they can run to the flanks.

At this moment, the people's instinct to survive came into play, and they all turned around and fled for their lives.

"Run! Folks, the Tartars are suppressed by fire and dare not catch up. ”

Seeing that it had an effect, Wang Er Mazi shouted loudly. Night Night Chinese

He was so excited that he saved many lives.

The insidiousness of the Tartars can be seen from this, but not everyone is as dismissive of life as the Tartars do. In particular, these people are all Han compatriots.

Although the Ming army paid some artillery ammunition for this, Wang Er Mazi felt that it was worth it.

When Ji Xiha saw that the charging people suddenly turned around and fled for their lives, their lungs were about to explode.

These dog day stuff!

If it weren't for the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, he would definitely order someone to catch up and go forward and hack all the fleeing civilians to death!

But now this is clearly not possible.

Enraged, Jishiha ordered the Qing army to also push out the prepared cannons and bombard the city.

Come and don't be rude, who won't fire guns, come and hurt each other.

The artillery of the Qing army was a red-coated cannon, which was more powerful than the artillery of the Ming army.

As soon as the cannon went down, the battlements of the Ming army were shattered, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers at the head of the city were crushed to death.

"Shhh

This shell exploded dozens of steps away from Wang Er Mazi, which frightened Wang Er Mazi into a breath.

The artillery of the Qing army is really sharp, and the small cannon brought by the surname of the country is much inferior in comparison.

However, at this time, you can't grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige, Wang Er Mazi removed the fear on his face, and roared angrily: "Continue to fire cannons, what are you doing in a daze, your momentum can't be lost to Tartar!" ”

The power is not enough, the number is to make up.

Fortunately, the number of artillery pieces of the Ming army was larger than that of the Qing army, and the power was still not to be underestimated under concentrated and intensive bombardment.

The two sides exchanged bombardments, and each suffered casualties, but neither of them made an absolute profit.

Jishiha's face sank like water.

All this was expected by him.

This gang of thieves is very good at taking advantage of the city's advantages and bombarding condescendingly, taking advantage of their artillery to the extreme.

"The green battalion soldiers pressed up, and the three walls attacked at the same time!"

Despite the constant artillery fire of the Ming army, Jixiha still gave the order to attack.

In contrast, the closer they are to the city walls, the less powerful the artillery will be.

On the contrary, it is dangerous to stay still in the formation. This step is always to be taken, and naturally the sooner the better.

"Chong, the first to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

The green battalion soldiers, tempted by the silver bounty, rushed towards the city wall one by one like greedy flies.

Liu Guiqing, as a centurion, had nearly 100 soldiers under his command.

His main attack was the West Gate, and like the other charging Green Battalion Qing soldiers, they did not have much protection, only a wooden shield and a horizontal sword.

As the first runner, he knew that his mission was to lay as good a foundation as possible and survive.

"Kill! Kill! ”

The Qing army gradually rushed to the range of bows and arrows, and Wang Er Mazi ordered the archers to shoot hoarding.

In the face of such a dense charge of the Qing army, the soldiers of the Ming army did not even need to aim, they only needed to put the arrows on the string and shoot them hard.

Either way, you're sure to hit someone!

"Whoosh!"

"Poof!"

An arrow whizzed out, piercing the neck of a Qing soldier.

He Qingbing continued to rush forward because of inertia, but he didn't run a few steps before his body fell limp.

He grabbed the arrow with both hands and tried to pull it out. But it was in vain, and it didn't take long for his body to begin to twitch violently, and soon he stopped moving.
