Zhou Peigong felt bitter in his heart.

The artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce. Not only was the city tower blown to pieces, but even the battlements were damaged a lot.

In this case, Zhou Peigong could only lie on the ground and ask the Bodhisattva for protection, and the cannonball should not explode around him.

Under the suppression of artillery, the Ming army began a tentative offensive.

But it is obvious that the Ming army did not put too many troops in Dongcheng, and Zhou Peigong felt that he could still withstand it.

Finally, after a stick of incense, the red-clothed cannon that Zhou Peigong was praying for arrived.

Ten doors were shipped at once!

That's almost half of the number of red-coated cannons in Wuchang City!

Your Excellency the Governor has made a bloody investment this time!

Zhou Peigong was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Fight back, give me a fierce fightback!" ”

The Qing soldiers hurriedly took advantage of the gap between the Ming army's artillery firing to aim the muzzle of the cannon at the Shuangfeng Mountain opposite, ignited the fuse and fired the shell.

"Boom!"

The loud noise from the red-clothed cannon made them ringing in their ears for a while, and Zhou Peigong was also frightened.

Damn, that's scary, isn't it?

"Mr. Zhou, why don't you go into the city tower to avoid it."

Seeing Zhou Peigong's appearance, the soldiers suggested kindly.

Zhou Peigong shook his head and said, "No, I want to be with the soldiers." Leave me alone, fire the gun, keep the gun! ”

In fact, he didn't want to hide in the city tower, but now that the city tower has been blown up, there is no difference between hiding inside and outside.

Zhou Peigong was also worried that the beam of the house would fall down and kill him.

Hmph, damn thief. You have cannons, and Lao Tzu also has cannons. Lao Tzu wants to see whose cannon is more powerful!

...

...

The range of the redcoat cannon is enough to hit the opposite Twin Peaks.

Although the flexibility of the red-coated artillery was inferior to the Prussian field artillery brought by Zhu Youlang. But in terms of power, the red-coated cannon is completely worthy.

Under the heavy bombardment, there were also some riots in the positions of the Ming army, and even soldiers were killed.

Although he knew that casualties between the two armies were inevitable, Zhu Youlang still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Fortunately, the redcoat cannon needs to be filled with water to cool down after the cannon is fired.

Therefore, there was a relatively long interval after the ten cannons, and the Ming army could use this time to adjust.

Judging from the effect of the shelling just now, Zhu Youlang's tactics have completely worked.

But even so, it is still difficult to attack the city with ants.

Zhu Youlang decided to try to bombard the city gate, although it is very difficult to hit the city gate accurately, but what if you shoot a few more shots?

As far as he is concerned, if he is really attached to the ant, he doesn't know how much he will lose, and Zhu Youlang can't afford to lose it.

Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, we still have to count on Li Dingguo.

Zhu Youlang's side is just covering for Li Dingguo.

Artillery firing, fighting is attrition.

Fortunately, Zhu Youlang's shells are stocked enough to make them consume.

...

...

On the southern side, the vanguard of the Ming army had already crossed the moat and began to set up ladders to prepare for the siege.

They are seasoned veterans who know how to climb through gaps and protect themselves as much as possible.

But Rao is so, the danger is still very high.

The Qing army discovered the Ming army's move for the first time, and smashed the rolling stones and skulls piled up at the head of the city one after another.

"Ming thief, Lao Tzu invites you to have a good meal!"

These rolling stones and sassals weigh dozens of pounds lightly, and they can't bear to be smashed on the armor.

Not to mention, some stones smashed straight into the heads of the Ming soldiers.

After the severe pain, some Ming soldiers instantly lost consciousness and fell down the ladder.

The robes looked at it silently, then topped the vacancy and struggled up the ladder.

Many of them know each other, brothers who have known each other for many years.

Naturally, the brothers can't die in vain, they want to pay tribute to the dead brothers with the heads of the Eastern Prisoners!

Hatred can best stimulate a person's fighting spirit, and at this moment, these Ming soldiers have only one thought in their hearts, that is, to climb the city and kill all the Tartars.

Naturally, the Qing army would not sit still, and the Qing soldiers poured the burned boiling oil one after another, and Rao was wearing armor and couldn't bear it like this, and let out a beast-like roar.

The Qing army in Wuchang was obviously much more well-trained than the rest of Huguang, and in the face of the most elite vanguard of the Ming army, they did not panic in the slightest, but carried out the established steps in an orderly manner.

Li Dingguo watched all this silently, without the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.

Once he succeeds, no matter how many people die in Wuchang, he will not hesitate.

As long as Wuchang is taken, no matter how many people die, it will be worth it!

...

...

"Bring some more stones and timber to the city, and if they are not enough, they will demolish the houses!"

Hu Quancai scolded sharply: "Do you still use this governor to teach you? ”

As the battle deepened, the rolling stone and sassalwood stored at the head of the city were in a hurry.

Hu Quancai obviously still underestimated the combat effectiveness and execution of the Ming army.

In the face of such a tight defense, the military spirit of the Ming army did not waver in the slightest.

This Li Dingguo is really a ruthless person.

At first, Hu Quancai still thought that Li Dingguo's name was blown out, but now it seems that this guy still has two hits.

Hu Quancai turned his head to take a look, and saw that the people and young men were nervously driving mules and horses along the horse road to carry these city-guarding equipment to the city.

He is still very satisfied with this.

What the Qing army instilled in the people of Wuchang was that the thieves did all kinds of evil, and they were all a group of monsters who drank blood.

If the city is broken, the Ming thieves will loot and burn it wantonly, so they have to cooperate with the Qing soldiers to defend the city for their own sake.

The people seemed to really believe.

Hu Quancai clearly knew the gap between himself and Li Dingguo, so the strategy he formulated from the beginning was to stick to it.

In any case, he will not send troops to attack, just defend, defend.

"Your Excellency, go and rest first. I'm going to be fine with my eyes here. ”

Liao Fangyong, the chief soldier of Wuchang, arched his hand.

Hu Quancai was really a little tired, so he nodded and said, "Then the governor will go to the city tower to rest for a while, and report immediately if there is a situation!" ”

...

...

After a day of fierce fighting, the Ming army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and the Qing soldiers at the head of the city could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"These thieves are too good at fighting, they don't stop from morning to night."

"Who's to say it's not, the key for these people is not to be afraid of death. As if life wasn't your own. ”

"There is a bird for such hard work, I really think I can seal the marquis of ten thousand households."

"We're really unlucky. During the day, he followed the thieves to the death, and at night he couldn't be idle, so he was assigned to the city wall to be on duty. Doesn't the thief sleep on this big night? ”

"That's not good, what if the thief is going to attack at night? We can't afford to take it lightly. ”

"Hmph, those military leaders and old men are asleep, but Lao Tzu has to guard here, what the hell is the way of the world."

"You can be content, it's good to have something to eat in this world."

"I said Lao Wu, do you see that there is no fire over there, why is there a fire flashing in the air?"

"You read it wrong, it should be the stars!"

"Maybe I'm wrong! After a tired day, my eyes are spent! ”
