Chapter 355: War on All Sides (Second Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
The battle in the eastern city was fierce, and so was the north gate, which was attacked by the Kuidong Zhuxun.
At the same time that Zheng Chenggong gave the order, Li Laiheng also gave the order for a general attack.
Compared with Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army, the Thirteen Kuidong families suffered a slight loss in the allocation of soldiers' armor, but they did not lose to Zheng Chenggong in terms of the number and quality of soldiers.
Even in terms of siege experience, they are even richer than Zheng Chenggong.
This does not refer to the tricky tactics of coffin bombing and hot air balloon sneak attack and bombing, but the kind of siege with real knives and guns. Long before His Majesty the Emperor decided to attack Chongqing, the Thirteen Kuidong families attacked Chongqing more than once under the leadership of Wen Anzhi.
If it weren't for Ertan's rebellion, they would have been able to take Chongqing a year earlier.
Therefore, in terms of siege ability, they are at least at the same level as the army of King Jin of the Son of Heaven.
Lee is clearly becoming more confident now.
Whether it is the arrangement of troops or the on-the-spot scheduling, they are becoming more and more general-like.
The north gate is the most densely populated city gate of the enemy. This can be seen from the dense crowd of enemy soldiers at the head of the city.
It was Li Laiheng who decided to divide the attack as much as possible to reduce the damage of the enemy.
Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, and Li Laiheng respectively led their troops to attack from different angles, forming a horn trend.
They seem to be divided and connected, and the division and combination make the Qing soldiers unable to figure it out.
The Qing soldiers at the head of the city were obviously dumbfounded.
What the hell is this kind of routine?
They bent their bows and arrows, but the results were not very good.
After all, this Ming army has a lot of battlefield experience and knows how to use moving bunkers to protect themselves.
In addition, their armor is not bad, and the vital points of their bodies are basically covered.
Of course, it is impossible to avoid all casualties.
From time to time, soldiers fell from arrows, but the momentum of the Ming army's charge did not slow down.
Because the gunpowder was damp, neither side could use firearms.
The battlefield without the sound of artillery fire seems to reveal a trace of weirdness everywhere.
"Kill!"
Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing for the opposite army.
At least during the siege, the charging soldiers were not harmed by artillery fire.
Soon they were rushing to the corner.
The advantage of Kui Dongmingjun is that he is physically flexible and has good climbing skills.
Like the Dachang soldiers under Yuan Zongdi, they often need to climb to the rock wall to dig salt, and they have developed the ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall.
In the face of the towering city walls, their superiority is fully realized.
It's not a problem to climb the cliffs with your bare hands, let alone climb the city walls with ladders?
When the Qing army threw down the rolling logs, they could even slightly move to a nearby ladder to dodge.
This is something that other soldiers can't do.
This obviously frightened the Qing soldiers at the head of the city.
They had never seen soldiers so nimble, the rolling logs could not hit them, the arrows could not shoot them. They are like loaches in a pond, always disappearing.
Kui Dongming's army climbed towards the city at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took a short time to climb to half of the position.
"Shhh
The Qing general guarding the north gate gasped when he saw this.
If this momentum continues, it won't be long before the thief will climb up!
"Quickly pour boiling oil. His grandmother's Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, and you can even hide from the boiling oil! ”
The Qing soldiers had already set up several cauldrons at the head of the city to boil boiling oil, and at this moment they poured the boiled oil down the ladder set up by the Ming army.
This trick is obviously very vicious.
No matter how flexible Kui Dongmingjun is, no matter how he jumps between the ladders, he still has to climb up through the ladders, either on this ladder or on that ladder, there is no difference in essence.
In this case, boiling oil is simply a big killer.
The Qing soldiers didn't need to aim at people at all, they only needed to aim at each ladder.
"Ahh
The boiling oil was poured on his hand, and the blood bubbled instantly.
The soldiers of the Kui Dongming Army instinctively let go of their hands, leaned back, lost their center of gravity and fell down.
Li Laiheng's face was a little solemn.
I have to say that this is indeed a highly targeted method, and Li Laiheng does not have a very good counter-target.
The sons could only be ordered to continue the siege, hoping that there would be a shortage of boiling oil in the Tartars.
"Hahaming dog is watered, like a water dog!"
Seeing that this trick had worked, the Qing general laughed presumptuously. He completely forgot what he had been like in a panic before, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Minggou is really incompetent, and he dares to commit this bit of strength."
"Kill me! Not a single dog is allowed to climb to the top of the city. ”
...
...
In the palace, Geng Jimao was tied up tightly, and more than a dozen of his relatives were even more miserable, not only tied up like dead pigs, but also thrown into the firewood room.
More than a dozen people were crammed into the cramped firewood room, suffocating and disgusting.
At least Geng Jimao can still live in a single room alone, and someone will serve him when he eats and drinks. It's that his mobility is very inconvenient, and even Lazar has to use a night pot potty potty.
Geng Jimao He had suffered such humiliation, and he had already cut thousands of knives to Hong Chengchou and Zhang Chaoxuan, two sluts.
"Come on, this king wants to drink water!"
Geng Jimao shouted loudly.
After a short time, a man pushed open the door and entered.
He carried a cowhide bag in his hand, walked to Geng Jimao's side with a smile on his face, pulled out the stopper, and half-squatted down and said, "The slave is waiting for the prince to drink water." ”
"Humph!"
Geng Jimao snorted coldly, and said with great disdain: "Even if you still know each other." ”
He was indeed very thirsty, and he bit the cowhide and sucked it.
The Qing soldiers cooperated and raised the cowhide bag at some angles, so that Geng Jimao would be more comfortable to drink.
Goo knock goo knock...
Geng Jimao took half a bottle in one breath, and then he relented.
"Is the prince full?"
"Hmm."
Geng Jimao leaned back against the pillar.
"How's it going out there now?"
"This..."
The Qing soldier was obviously a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to tell Geng Jimao or not.
Geng Jimao couldn't help laughing loudly: "This king has been tied up like this by you, are you still afraid that this king will be able to escape?" ”
"This..."
The Qing soldier hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hide it, there is already a fight outside." The thieves began a full-scale siege of the city. ”
"Oh?"
Geng Jimao pretended to be calm, but his mouth sneered: "Then Hong Chengchou should be busy in the city at the moment, right?" ”
"Hong Jingluo and Governor Zhang are both supervising the battle at the head of the city at the moment."
Geng Jimao secretly calculated in his heart that Hong Chengchou must have used Geng's army. Otherwise, the Jiangxi green battalion is not enough to hold Nanchang.
Although his subordinates were unwilling, they could only temporarily obey Hong Chengchou's orders when they cared about his life.
However, the Ming army's siege of the city was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Geng Jimao to get out, and he was naturally a little moved.
