There are fewer and fewer Ming troops at the head of the city, and the ladders behind are still climbing, but the Qin army has gradually controlled the situation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Kefa hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw the Ming army who were climbing the wall. As soon as these men withdrew, the Ming army's crossbowmen began to fire arrows again, and Li Dang once again let the Qin army avoid the city.

At this time, the Ming army, which was pushing the car and crashing into the city gate, was also in a predicament.

These people started very smoothly, pushing the cart all the way to the city gate hole, and the rolling wood and stones thrown by the Qin army on their heads did not hurt them much. Because the top of these rushing vehicles is a guard plate made of a whole giant log, which is one foot thick, which can effectively protect the rushing vehicles and soldiers. They rushed under the gates and began to ramming.

The Huayin city gate is wooden, and it can't withstand a long bang, but after a while, the city gate was smashed through a big crack, and after a few hits, it finally broke a big hole, these people cheered and wanted to rush in, but when they looked inside, there was a door that was swarthy, and then touched it, it was a whole piece of iron gate.

This is the jack ram.

Li Yan stepped up the production of this gate, and finally made the Ming army helpless.

You must know that this gate is all made of iron, which is enough to have thousands of catties, a height of one zhang and five feet, a width of one zhang, and a thickness of three inches, and the whole city gate hole is sealed. Don't talk about rushing cars, even if it's a cannon, it can't be fired.

These Ming soldiers were dumbfounded, the rush car was useless here, and in desperation, they were afraid that the Qin army would set fire to their heads, so they had to push the rush car back.

Shi Kefa saw that the chariot was in vain, and the Ming army that attacked the city was either dead or wounded, and his heart was also angry, and he gave an order, and the trebuchet began to shoot stones again.

He made up his mind that he would no longer use men to attack the city, but only use stones to smash the city wall, and if it does not collapse in one day, it will not collapse in two days, and it will not work in two days, and it will not be possible to attack it again in ten days.

So round after round of stones fell on the city, and the Qin army on the horse road looked at the boulders falling from the sky, and had no choice but to look at each other and smile bitterly.

According to this situation, it will not be long before the city wall will be shattered, and the Ming army outside the city will rush in on war horses, and at that time, there will be no choice but to fight in the streets.

Li Dang was not in a hurry, because he knew that Li Yan had arranged for his men and horses to raid the enemy formation, and he should start acting at this time.

Sure enough, the Ming army under the city fired a burst of stones, and was smashing hard, when suddenly a rain of arrows flew from the left side of the military formation, shooting down a lot of Ming troops on the side of the trebuchet.

The scouts of the Ming army shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy ......" Before the second call came out, an arrow had already flew, shot into his mouth, and pierced out of the back of his head.

With the rain of arrows, dozens of horses rushed out of the ruins on the left side, and the knights on the horses held swords in one hand and torches in the other, and each horse also had two clay pots hanging around their necks, sealed with oilcloths, and they did not know what was inside.

This group of men and horses came extremely fast, first shot a burst of arrows, and then a charge, and arrived in front of the Ming army. They did not rush into battle or kill people, but rushed towards the trebuchet, rushed to the front, and while slashing the stone-throwing Ming army with their knives, they lifted the earthen pot and threw it at the trebuchet.

There was a loud noise, and the crockpot was thrown onto the wood, which was immediately shattered, and it was filled with fire oil, all of which was applied to the trebuchet.

These Qin soldiers threw the torches in their hands onto the oil and exhaled, and the flames immediately burst out.

Shi Kefa saw it clearly and knew that these people were here to destroy the trebuchet, so he hurriedly gave an order: "Surround it and annihilate this group of thieves ......."

But it was too late, and a dozen trebuchets were all on fire. As soon as those Qin troops saw it, they didn't like to fight, and rushed out on horseback. Although more than a dozen riders were killed on the spot, more than 20 escaped. Run to the north gate.

Shi Kefa was angry and ordered to be pursued, and hundreds of cavalry chased after him, but before he could get close to the north gate, he was shot back by the defenders of the city.

Looking at the Qin army that set fire, they have entered Huayin City safely.

Shi Kefa was furious, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to order to try his best to extinguish the fire. After some tossing, the fire was finally extinguished, but all the dozen or so trebuchets were useless.

When the Qin army at the head of the city saw it, he stood at the head of the city and laughed at the bottom. was so angry that the Ming army gritted his teeth one by one.

Without the most powerful guy in his hand, the Ming army's offensive was immediately stopped. At this time, Li Yan learned that the trebuchet was destroyed, and he also came to the city. As soon as Li Dang saw him coming, he immediately ordered: "Brother, the Ming army has no choice, wait for me to lead people down, rush to kill, and send them back to grandma's house." ”

Li Yan nodded: "Rely on the military formation, don't fight randomly, once the enemy army escapes, don't chase after it." ”

His words are reasonable, although the Ming army lost a few hundred people, but there are still more than two thousand, especially the cavalry, there are no losses, once the Qin army and the Ming army fight in the field, they must not be dispersed.

Li Dang naturally understood this truth, he was in the Qin Dynasty, and the armies of the Six Kingdoms fought countless battles, although the official was not big, but he was experienced. He nodded, went down to the city to order a thousand Qin troops, lined up in a battle formation, and then opened the city gate and rushed out.

Since the last time the Qin army was defeated under He Renlong, he has been holding back his bad breath, as long as he sees the person wearing the Ming army's uniform, he hates his toothache, and this time he is very embarrassed by the stone cannon of the people, needless to say that he is angry. As soon as they came out of the city, there was a wave of revenge, which made the army look terrible.

Although Shi Kefa is very strategic, he has never seen a battle with the Qin army, needless to say that he, even if he was the first-class famous general at that time, He Renlong, Lu Xiangsheng, defeated the Qin army, it was also by sneak attack, once the Qin army was tightly arranged, it was very difficult to win.

It is also fortunate that Shi Kefa is fortunate that the Qin army at this time did not have strong crossbows, and most of those crossbows were lost and damaged in two defeats.

Looking at the approaching Qin army formation, Shi Kefa's expression was solemn, and he waved his hand and ordered the cavalry to step forward.

This is also a common practice on the battlefield for thousands of years. If the enemy sends infantry, the best way for your side to deal with it is to attack with cavalry. This is almost an unbroken golden rule on the battlefield. But this time it was different.

Five hundred cavalry rushed towards the army formation of a thousand Qin troops, and there was still a stone's throw away, the Qin army formation began to converge to the middle, the spearmen in front of them raised their spears, and the people behind covered their heads with shields to prevent the horses from trampling on them.

As a result, the cavalry of the five hundred Ming army rushed to the front of the military formation, and the war horses could not rush into the spear formation, so they had to circle around the outer circle, they wanted to attack, the sabre in their hands was too short, and they threw it with a javelin, and the Qin army blocked it with a shield, and they could not hurt anyone, and there was nothing to be done for a while.

The Qin army was not beaten in place, but shrunk the general formation into an iron shield array and attacked the Ming infantry, Li dared to know that the cavalry must be lined up in formation, and it would be effective to rush all the way, as long as they attacked the Ming army and fought with the enemy, those cavalry would be useless.

Seeing the Qin army approaching step by step, Shi Kefa secretly called the evil sect, the bandit soldiers in front of him are extremely strict, it seems that they must be well-trained in peacetime, and the generals of the unified army must be experienced in a hundred battles.

He gritted his teeth, not to be outdone, and ordered his infantry to meet him, forcing the enemy's formation to unfold and fight a melee, otherwise this military formation would be too difficult to fight like a hedgehog with a tortoiseshell.

The soldiers of the Ming army listened to the order, rushed up, rushed head-on, Li Dare gave an order, and the Qin army formation was immediately like a scimitar blade, spread out, and the spearmen threw away their spears, pulled out their waist knives, and fought with the Ming army.

More than 2,000 Ming troops, and 1,000 Qin troops, began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, swords and bloody fights, the battlefield shouted to the sky, the sword light reflected the sun, chaotic and dazzling, the dust and smoke under the feet rose up, filling the four fields.

Li Yan at the head of the city looked at this tragic battle, and his heart suddenly jumped. It was the first time he had watched someone else play with his life so intently. He felt that those people were no longer human, but had become hungry tigers and fierce wolves, especially the Qin army, even if they were slashed a few times by the Ming army and shot a few times, they would not retreat, and even without saying a word, they still fought desperately.

More and more people fell on the battlefield, although the Ming army was superior in numbers, but its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Qin army.

Shi Kefa was also stunned by the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, what he originally thought was that this group of people might be thieves, a group of rabble, even if there were some outlaws, it could not be all. As a result, as soon as he handed it over, he found that he said that this group of people were outlaws, and he underestimated them.

They were all dead.

The combat power of a thousand dead soldiers is enough to withstand 10,000 outlaws.

The Ming army actually had the appearance of not being supported.
