The Qing army's offensive was still continuing, and after three or four rounds of trench filling, the Qing army finally filled in the roads leading to the Half Moon Fort with human lives and sandbags and soil bags.

At this moment, the Qing army launched an attack on the whole line, and quickly approached the lookout within a distance of 100 meters, the shooters of the Qing army and the Ming army launched a confrontation, and the Ming army's Franc machine gun on the Half Moon Fort was also aimed at the lookout to bombard, trying to solve these threats directly.

The rush car continued to move forward, and the slope made it more difficult to advance, especially when it was covered with the corpses of civilians, auxiliaries, and even the overseers, as well as the dirt bags and sandbags they had dropped.

While clearing the road, the Qing army's rushing car slowly advanced. Every second, there will be Qing troops who are shot and killed by the condescending Ming army, or in the process of cleaning up, they are out of the protection of the rushing car and are swept down by the tiger squat cannon on the second floor of the Ming army, turning into a new obstacle.

Casualties began to shift from the civilian population to the auxiliaries, and the soldiers also began to withstand the attacks of the Ming army. Compared with the Green Battalion, the feudal soldiers of Jingnan Wangfu not only have better treatment, but also have more combat experience and better will to fight. At this moment, the offensive of the counterattack began, quickly clearing the road, and soon, after paying the price of several rushing cars, the first rushing car approached the bank of the moat, and was pushed over the section of the moat that had become a smooth road, until it reached the wall of the Half Moon Fort.

"Pull!"

The so-called chariot is a carriage with a roof and a battering ram hanging from the top to hit the city wall. The officers of the Qing army shouted, and the auxiliary soldiers pulled the battering ram back high, and then let go, under the action of gravity, the battering ram hit the wall of the Half Moon Fort.

This rushing car was able to get closer, more because the road he was advancing was outside the coverage of the lower gun emplacements of this Half Moon Fort. In this way, the fortress wall they faced was also the strongest side, and when the battering ram fell, the shaking was inevitable, but with rich experience, the officers knew very well that the impact would take a long time to have an effect.

It's just that they are never the only ones, and after paying a lot of casualties, with the relay baton type of passing and pushing, they finally pushed a rush car to the front of the half-moon fort wall. Next, the heavy battering ram fell, shook, and the sound of different directions, with subtle cracks, all showed that the Qing army could directly break through here. At that time, whether to directly enter or crash the Half Moon Fort from here, they have no corresponding experience, but in any case, the Ming army's defense here will not last long.

The Qing army's attack had approached the Half Moon Fort, and the Ming army's defensive pressure had increased dramatically. Entering a familiar rhythm, the swarming Qing army attacked from three sides from the front and both sides, and at this time, the Ming army quickly organized artillery, firearms and crossbows to flank the Qing troops on both sides on the acute angles that extended out.

The front is okay, as long as you get close to the city, the threat of the Ming army will be quickly reduced, but the two sides are facing the front and back attacks, Rao is the Qing army is brave, and under such an attack, it will also have to pay a lot of casualties.

However, the morale of the Qing army was high, and they firmly believed that the Eight Banners Army was invincible, and with such psychological hints, their ability to tolerate casualties increased dramatically. Soon, the Ming army in Half Moon Fort began to be overstretched, and under the chaos, the casualties were also rising rapidly, and perhaps in the next moment, when the first Rui Shi ascended to the upper floor of Half Moon Fort, it would be a one-sided massacre.

With rich experience, the Qing army could already foresee the outcome, and as a result, the offensive became more violent. Unexpectedly, at this time, on the main fort of the Ming army, the voice of Ming Jin came, and the Ming army of the Half Moon Fort ran to the wooden bridge without hesitation, and those gunners even threw everything on the Half Moon Fort.

was about to fall, so in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Ming army simply abandoned Half Moon Fort. This time, the Qing army's offensive was launched simultaneously on the west, southwest and northwest sides of Beibao, and after paying a large number of casualties, it finally achieved its first results.

The Ming army fled, and the Qing army fought bravely to be the first and quickly climbed the half-moon fort. Almost at the moment of ascending first, the Ming army of another Half Moon Fort in the north quickly gave up defending after hearing Mingjin's voice.

The two forts in a row, although they are only the Half Moon Fort on the periphery of the main fort, but compared to the performance of the green battalion soldiers in the past few days, Geng Jimao and the generals of the feudal army should be considered superior to others. Aside from the ruthlessness and familiarity of those trenches, their subordinates are indeed superior in ferocity, combat experience, and patience for casualties. An army can always move forward as long as it can make sacrifices.

The Qing army continued to climb the Half Moon Fort, and there were ready-made artillery on it, which was nothing more than turning the muzzle of the cannon to launch an attack on the main fort of the Ming army.

Such thoughts came to the minds of every Qing army, and more importantly, the reward for climbing the Half Moon Castle prompted them to climb upward. But who knows, just a moment later, when the Qing army turned the muzzle of the cannon, and a large number of Qing shooters boarded the Half Moon Fort from the inconvenient lookout, the cannon of the main fort of the Ming army rumbled.

From the main fort of the Ming army, the side of the acute angle extending from the main fort, the artillery of the Ming army took the original Half Moon Fort as a target, and the shells fell like a torrential rain, at that moment, in the eyes of the Qing army on the Half Moon Fort, it seemed that even the entire sky became like the end had come at that moment.

Darkness is eternal for the vast majority of Qing troops, but for those who are lucky enough not to die, although it is only for a moment, but at the moment when the light is restored, severe pain also comes, and the next thing is nothing more than a wail of pain, but it is better to fall directly into eternal darkness.

Geng Jimao watched all this from afar, and was immediately dumbfounded. It was a stronghold of the Ming army, but now it has become a trap for the Ming army. Such a conversion was carried out at the same time as the Ming army guarding the Half Moon Fort withdrew to the main fort, and the Ming army did not pay too many casualties, just dropped some inconvenient artillery and let a large number of Qing troops die on the position they desperately obtained. And those artillery pieces were blown up beyond recognition, how could they be used to bombard the main fort of the Ming army?

"Attack the main fort directly, and leave those targets alone!"

Geng Jimao's reaction is not slow, or the reaction that a normal person should have. After receiving the order, the Qing army looked at the tragic situation on the Half Moon Fort, and they couldn't have any idea of climbing it at all.

The target of the attack turned to the main fort, and the Qing army's lookout was too high to continue advancing, and in the face of the artillery fire that the Ming army had just shown, I was afraid that it might not be able to get close to the appropriate position. Since this is the case, then there is only the ant attached to attack the city, and the Qing army simply carried one cloud ladder after another, and went straight to the main fort of the Ming army to kill.

The main fortress of the Ming army is composed of a semi-circular fortress and an acute angle that extends out at a large angle, like a petal. But the petals of this deadly flower are not rounded, but pointed, in other words, if the Qing army wants to launch an offensive and want to climb the city wall, it can only climb from the side.

There is no doubt about this. The Qing army rushed to the front of the main fort, and without hesitation, they took the ladder and began to climb up. The main fortress of the Ming army was only half the height of the normal city wall, and it may not even be half of that giant city. In this way, the cost and difficulty of the ant-attached siege will be greatly reduced, and the defensive pressure of the Ming army will increase geometrically.

No one in the Qing army from top to bottom understood why the Ming army built such a low main fortress wall, but for them, wasn't this exactly a good thing?

The Qing warriors climbed up with swords and shields, and the shields were placed on their heads, with a certain slope to unload some of the rolling wood and arrows. But if the Ming army wants to attack them, they must be exposed to the battlements, the parapet wall, and the sight of the Qing shooters, so they will be attacked more lightly.

Their rich combat experience is by no means comparable to that of the Ming army defending the city, but the Ming army defending the city does not seem to have the intention of poking their heads out to attack them who are climbing upwards, but instead devotes more energy to the Qing troops who can be squinted through the battlements and the edge of the parapet - those Qing troops who are climbing the opposite and side walls!

Arrows and lead bullets were fired at the Qing army that was climbing on the opposite side, and the smooth shooting angle, especially aimed at the defenseless and unforewarned back of the Qing army, the shield immediately became a useless burden. What's even worse is that not only the back, but also the flank of the Qing army will be attacked by the Ming army, and it is also under the condition that the attack above the head still exists, and at the same time it was attacked from multiple angles.

The multi-angle attack made the Qing army fall from the ladder like a dumpling, and the Ming army's defensive pressure was far less huge than imagined, but it was the overwhelming offensive launched by the Qing army, and the feudal soldiers who came like a tide could only be beaten passively here.

Casualties rose rapidly, but the Qing army was never able to reach the top of the city, and even more than half of them climbed to the top of the city. Only five or six meters high, he was just a child in front of the other city walls, but this child played with the brave feudal soldiers in applause with his ability to better use his firepower advantage and strengthen the effectiveness of the defense.

The drums of war were endless, and the Qing army's offensive continued, but such unilateral casualties lasted for a long time, and both the generals and those vassal soldiers were unbearable.

Gradually, the offensive weakened, which was a clear sign of the Qing army's declining ability to tolerate casualties. Next, it is nothing more than a rout, and even now at this time, many Qing troops have already come up with such thoughts, so the desire to attack will decline. Those who are feared are nothing more than the punishment of those who are defeated first by the strict military law of the Qing army.

However, the Qing army's offensive slowed down, but the Ming army extended its firepower, forcing and expelling them to retreat. Under the shooting of the Ming army, the first fugitive soon appeared, and the appearance of this first fugitive quickly turned the rout into an infectious disease and swept the entire Qing army's front......
