Chapter 13: Reinforcements

There is no doubt that the Eighth Banner Army is more well-equipped.

The rattan player rushed to the front, followed by the archers and the firecrackers.

With the low sound of bull horns, the army of the Eight Banners steadily advanced towards the city.

At the same time, because the number of artillery of the Ming army was limited, most of them were used to defend the southern and northern city walls, and the east and west wings were relatively empty, which also gave the Eight Banners Army sufficient time to advance.

That's what Zhao Butai wants.

No matter how sharp the artillery of the Ming army is, there is also a limit to its quantity.

As long as the Eight Banners Army did not withstand the artillery fire in the sky, he was confident that he would capture the two wings of the city gate in one fell swoop.

Of course, after crossing the outer moat and moat, the plum blossom piles and antler formations in front of the city gate are quite troublesome.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners need to uproot these things before they can set up a ladder to attack the city.

Taking advantage of this interlude, the Ming army at the head of the city began to shoot arrows desperately, hoping to use the rain of arrows to repel the Eight Banners.

But with the escort of the rattan players, the losses of the Qing army were minimized, and the archers of the Ming army could not deal a fatal blow to the Eight Banners.

"These damn bunches!"

Seeing this, Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, already had a plan in his heart, and it seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable.

He immediately ordered to go down and told his soldiers to prepare wolf fangs and yakshas.

Needless to say, things like rolling wood, stones, and gold juice are not to be said.

...

...

Soon, after uprooting the plum blossom stakes, the Eight Banners rushed to the foot of the city with a row of ladders.

They set up the ladder and climbed up the ladder.

At this angle, the threat of feathered arrows was negligible, and they only had to dodge the rolling wood stones thrown from the city.

"Chong, the one who captures the puppet Ming Emperor will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

The Warlord shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to maximize the morale of the soldiers.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that it has reached this juncture, and the soldiers of the Qing army naturally do not feel how far away it is to stand on the top of the city.

A Qing soldier bit a steel knife in his mouth, and crawled desperately towards the city with his hands and feet.

Seeing that he was about to climb to the top of the city, a huge wolf's tooth suddenly flew from the battlement.

The wolf's fangs were covered with iron nails, and the roar was terrifying.

The Qing soldier couldn't dodge, and was slapped by the wolf's teeth, and his brain burst and fell, falling heavily on the muddy ground.

This bloody scene did not stop the Eight Banners, they were already red-eyed, and they couldn't stop at all.

There are countless successors, and although people continue to fall down the ladder, there are still people who are close to climbing the top of the city.

Seeing this, Bai Wenxuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to push them away with a fork pole against the ladder.

Ladders are the simplest siege equipment, and they are less stable than ladders.

After the concerted efforts of the soldiers defending the city, this platoon of ladders was finally pushed down, and the Qing soldiers who climbed up along this platoon of ladders fell down one by one, falling to death and several remnants.

As the battle heats up, the drawbacks of the tight garrison at the head of the city are gradually exposed.

Bai Wenxuan ordered the people who were helping in the city to join in and do what they could to throw the rolling wood and stones.

These people were frightened at first, but gradually discovered that the legendary three-headed and six-armed Donglu was not immortal.

After being hit by a rolling log and stone, these captives will cry and wail in pain, they are all flesh and blood!

After breaking through this psychological barrier, the courage of the people gradually increased.

They took the initiative to cooperate with the Ming soldiers to defend the city, which greatly relieved the pressure on the soldiers.

Zhou Ping is one of them.

At first, he was not assigned to the front line, but was responsible for carrying the equipment to defend the city.

Because he was worried about his daughter, he deliberately avoided the danger zone.

But gradually, he found that the Qing army suffered heavy losses, but the Ming army had the upper hand.

A trace of contempt for Qing soldiers suddenly appeared in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ping had the courage to reach the edge of the battlement.

It was too late to retreat again, and one of the generals always called him to top the vacancy.

Although Zhou Ping was frustrated in his heart, he had no other way but to manipulate the wolf's teeth to shoot at the approaching Qing soldiers.

Although his movements are not skillful, the power of the wolf tooth slap is still considerable under great inertia.

I saw a hideous-looking Qing soldier being swept away, and in an instant, the brain melon was smashed, and the blood splashed like a rotten watermelon.

"Gross!"

Zhou Ping instinctively spit it out.

On weekdays, he even had to be uncomfortable killing chickens for a long time, this was the first time he killed someone, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

The stomach was tumbling and the sweat was hot on the forehead.

Zhou Ping only felt that his eyes were full of stars.

Soon, though, he was picked up by the general manager.

"Why are you so cowardly, aren't you just killing people, killing is still a thief."

The general manager took a sip and said: "If you don't want to be killed, you have to kill the captive, don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" ”

These words woke up Zhou Ping.

Yes, there are eggs under the nest.

If the city of Kunming is broken, according to the urine nature of the Dongyu, the city will definitely be slaughtered and vented.

Not only will he not survive, but even his daughter will not be spared.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Ping's heart was decided.

For the sake of his daughter, he also has to insist on defending the city!

...

...

Compared to the east gate, the pressure on the west gate is obviously greater.

Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, who was in charge of guarding this gate, had a solemn face, and personally put on armor to command the defense at the head of the city.

Zhao Butai transferred more than 2,000 people to attack Xicheng, which was to see that Xicheng's defenses were the most empty.

Although he had ordered the people to help defend the city, there were still some signs that he could not defend it.

Just when Mu Tianbo was a little overwhelmed, he saw a group of soldiers in the distance rushing towards a man in golden armor.

Mu Tianbo looked fixedly, wasn't it the Great Tomorrow who was surrounded in the crowd?

His Majesty the Emperor is coming?

Mu Tianbo was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The person headed by this is naturally Zhu Youlang.

Nancheng has Li Dingguo personally in charge, which can be described as stable as Mount Tai.

Obviously, the Qing army wanted to flank and open a gap.

After some observation, Zhu Youlang found that the pressure in Xicheng was greater, and immediately led the Jinyi guard to help Mu Tianbo.

Although Mu Tianbo now holds the title of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has no right to directly mobilize the Jinyi Guard at this extraordinary moment. After all, Jinyi Wei has the responsibility of protecting the Son of Heaven.

And His Majesty the Emperor personally transferred troops is another matter, Mu Tianbo was very moved!

"The old minister is incompetent, and he actually bothers His Majesty to mobilize pro-troops."

Mu Tianbo only felt ashamed, and immediately knelt on the ground.

Zhu Youlang hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Tianbo up and said: "At such a critical time, the Duke of Qianguo still said that these things are very important, and he will fight the enemy with me!" ”

Mu Tianbo hurriedly said: "I am willing to follow Your Majesty to fight to the death!" ”

Zhu Youlang took out the sword at his waist, raised it and shouted: "I hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, and I will not be a minister." The thieves who steal the country in the east deserve to be punished! ”

"Kill the captives and repay the country!"

"Kill the captives and repay the country!"

"Kill the captives and repay the country!"

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.
