"Fortunately, the factory supervisor won the bet this time!" In the fierce battle, Zhou Yuji and Ying Shisheng hurried from Xicheng with a happy face.

"But the ferocity of the enemy's offensive is still beyond our expectations" Chang Yu gasped, he had fired nearly a hundred bows in a row, shooting more than half a hundred thieves, but his strength was exhausted.

The reason why Chang Yu said this is because at this time the officers and soldiers in the city have been killed and wounded, and the arrows and stones of the thief army fall on the city head from time to time, which means that the thief army is getting closer and closer, and they suppress the officers and soldiers at the city head at any cost, trying to cover their comrades to enter the city.

"At this time, is it time for the factory superintendent's big killer to appear," Zhou Yuji took a deep breath.

Chang Yu laughed, and was just about to speak, when he was careful in his ear, and then someone knocked him away.

There was a loud bang, and a corner of the city tower behind him was smashed into a hole by a cannonball!

This is a solid bullet, otherwise it will immediately cause a fire in the city tower, but even this makes Chang Yu's heart chill.

In order not to become a target, he had already ordered that torches should not be lit near the city, but he was still shot by the thief army, so it was a coincidence that he was still targeted.

"Kill them for me, throw a mine!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, got up from the ground, clanged, and was hit by an arrow on his body, fortunately he had heavy armor, as long as this kind of powerful arrow did not hit his face, it would not hurt him.

"Gonggong, be careful, don't get so close to the city wall!" Behind him, seeing that Chang Yu was almost hit by a cannonball and hit another arrow, he couldn't help but step forward and drag him.

"Get out of the way!" Chang Yu suddenly roared, raised his foot and kicked Fang San a few meters away, and reached out to grab an arrow that shot from his ear to Fang San's original location!

This is an ordinary arrow, and the strength of the shot here has been reduced, and it is not difficult to catch it with his strength, but the courage and courage still impress everyone.

"Get out of the city tower" Chang Yu turned his head and shouted angrily to Fang San, although he knew that this little eunuch was the eyeliner that Chongzhen or the prince specially placed beside him, but Fang San served him diligently from the capital to this way, and he was indeed very attentive, so he couldn't bear to let a little eunuch have an accident, and if something really happened, Chongzhen's side would still suspect that it was his black hand.

Although Fang San was kicked, he watched with gratitude as Chang Yu slowly climbed into the city tower behind him.

The big killing weapon prepared by Chang Yu in Zhou Yuji's mouth finally appeared, and the various explosive mines that the firearms experts who had collected from all over the world who had stockpiled half a month in advance were ignited by the officers and soldiers and thrown into the city at this time......

At this time, the thief army had approached the city wall on a large scale, erected ladders to climb the city, and slammed the door with wood...... The offensive was ferocious, and the people who watched it like locusts were shocked.

And the officers and soldiers were also merciless, the archers shot fiercely, the trebuchets fell like rain, the cannons were still roaring, and all kinds of dung and water such as sasswood and rolling stones were pouring down, catharsis and rain, making the thieves and soldiers under the city cry for their fathers and mothers, and the ghosts and wolves howl miserably.

But none of this is as thrilling as the big killer appears!

There are all kinds of these mines, some of them are bamboo tubes, and some are hollowed out of stones...... But the operation is extremely simple, just light the ignition wire and throw it down, to put it bluntly, it is like the earliest grenade in later generations, but it just needs to be ignited.

Boom, boom, one after another, the loud loud noise and the bitter cry of the thieves under the city alarmed Li Zicheng and others in the rear of the camp.

What is it? The thieves looked horrified.

In fact, by the time of firearms to the Ming Dynasty, the development was already very mature, and all kinds of firearms emerged in an endless stream, and grenades and mines were not rare.

But the use of firearms, except for artillery, has been neglected!

The reason is simple, it is cumbersome to operate and the firing time is too long, compared to long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows, mobility, convenience and storage are cumbersome and abnormal.

After all, this was still the era of archery and horse-riding, and firearms were only used as auxiliary attack systems.

However, Chang Yu came from a later life, and although he could not make cutting-edge and advanced firearms, he knew the importance and lethality of this thing.

Although the thief army took the Great South Gate as the main attack point, the battle line extended to the entire southern city, and the city wall several miles long from east to west was facing the crazy attack of the thief army, but the troops under the Great South Gate were gathered more and the offensive was stronger.

It's just that at this time, the foot of the southern city wall is like a hellish abyss, and after the explosion of the thunder dropped from the city, the loud sound continues, and the destructive power is full, and the thief army under the city instantly suffers heavy casualties and begins to collapse!

"Resist Lao Tzu! Take a step back and slash! Liu Zongmin, who personally pressed the formation, was furious, waving the long knife in his hand and roaring.

"Death to those who retreat!"

The generals of the thief army also restrained their subordinates one after another, continued to rush forward, and continued to climb the wall at the risk of death.

It's just that the defense of the officers and soldiers is too strong, and the tidal wave of thieves is not afraid of death and moves forward bravely, but in front of them is a thick city wall more than ten meters high, as well as arrows like a downpour, sasswood, rolling stones,, urine and smelly water, and the overwhelming thunder.

The casualties of climbing the wall were heavy, and the detachment of the siege gate also suffered an almost devastating blow, several huge siege vehicles were still twenty meters away from the city gate before they were smashed by trebuchets, and then they finally got around the obstacles in front of them and approached the city gate when they were bombed by thunder, but became an obstacle.

Of course, the thief army paid such a heavy price, and the attack on the officers and soldiers was not small, although the city had all kinds of light and heavy attack weapons from near and far, but the equipment of the thief army was also comparable, not that there were shells and boulders falling on the city, and even rockets flew into Chengnei.

Many officers and soldiers were killed by bows, arrows, stones, and bullets under the city.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the thief army has never touched the battlements of the city!

"Pass the order, ...... at all costs" Li Zicheng at the rear of the camp had a blue face, and he was suddenly stunned as soon as he spoke, and suddenly the direction of Taiyuan City was in flames, and a fire dragon stretched for several miles from west to east, the fire was fierce, and it rose in the wind, and the fire was sometimes half as high as half the city.

The officers and soldiers used the most brutal means of defense, fire attack!

That's right! After the thunderstorm, there were already many ignition points under the city, and at this time, Chang Yu immediately ordered to pour oil on the city......

It was just a blink of an eye, and the corpses of those siege ladders under the city immediately burst into flames when they were stained with oil, and the fire was uncontrollable in an instant, and some thieves who were drenched with oil could not avoid it, and they were immediately engulfed by the fire...... The rest of the thieves retreated in fear.

Immediately, the city was screaming, and those who heard it were terrified.

Fuck, Liu Zongmin and a group of thieves on the front line were about to spurt blood in their eyes, staring at the raging fire, with a stunned face!

This fire not only burned back the charge of the thieves, but also burned most of the siege ladders and other combat preparations......

The thief army, who had just killed the heavens and bravely charged forward, slowly fell silent......

Dingdingding...... Mingjin in the rear, the thief army retreats!

The battle lasted less than half an hour, but it was fought extremely fiercely, with both sides using their most elite men and weapons.

As soon as the thief army came up, they showed their fierce fangs and bit fiercely, without the slightest drag, and the clear goal was to smash open the Great South Gate and enter Taiyuan City.

Of course, the officers and men did not relent, and they were able to use everything that should be used when they should be cut and what should be cut.

The momentum of both sides is equal, and they are both holding back their ruthlessness, which is a complete hard encounter.

The thief army finally withdrew, and after the officers and soldiers released the big move of bombing thunder and fire attack, they chose Mingjin to withdraw their troops!

But the momentum has not fallen from beginning to end, just judging the situation and discussing it from the long!

With the withdrawal of the bandit army in the southern city, the thief army in the east and west cities waved their flags and shouted and feintmed to attack, and the division also retreated to the other side of the moat.

Quiet!

The thief army retreated, and the southern city, which had been screaming with a killing sound, instantly quieted down, only the sizzling sound of the fire under the city.

The officers and soldiers in the city also stopped all kinds of attacks, and quietly watched the thief army go away, letting the cold wind howl by, motionless, only hearing the sound of rapid breathing.

Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji, Ying Shisheng and others were already between the two city gates in Nancheng at this time, after all, the city tower was the most dangerous place when the battle just now, and it was the key target of the thief army.

"Retreat......" Ying Shi Sheng exhaled a long breath and whispered.

"Retire ......" Zhou Yuji responded, and then took a long breath.

"It's coming"

Chang Yu's face was expressionless, and he threw the hard bow in his hand to a personal guard, staring into the distance.

"The thief army has suffered heavy losses this time, and it doesn't hurt yet?" At the right time.

"It hurts, that's why he will do it again, and then he will be scrapped, and he will retreat!"

Chang Yu sneered.

"I'm afraid the next wave will be a stormy wave" Zhou Yuji's eyes were solemn, he had been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and it was rare for the thief army to play such a fierce way!

"When will the next wave of attacks be by the factory superintendent?" Ying Shisheng looked at Chang Yu with a look of adoration.

Although Chang Yu is a eunuch, his identity makes them disdainful, but he is both wise and brave, brave in martial arts, brave in the three armies, resourceful and resourceful, and able to resist thieves with one person's strength, which they have long understood, plus they have seen through Li Zicheng's trick of attacking the west before, and he is already convinced at this time.

"Soon!" Chang Yu's expression was still indifferent: "He has little time, and he can't delay it for too long, otherwise his morale will be exhausted soon."

Zhou Yuji and Ying Shisheng and other generals became solemn on their faces: "...... now"

"Now is not the time to rest, when we immediately rearrange the defense and replenish the combat readiness resources" Chang Yu turned around: "Order all doors to be executed immediately."

Then he approached Zhou Yuji and said softly: "The city wall is going to be reinforced."

"Reinforcement of the walls?" Zhou Yuji was stunned.

The thieves retreated, far away from the camp, the fortifications outside Taiyuan City have been completely captured by them, ready to advance and retreat at any time, so there is no need to stay under the city to drink cold wind and retreat to the camp to rest.

They said they would just go and go, but the officers and men were not so relaxed, and even though they were physically and mentally exhausted from the first battle just now, they still could not relax their vigilance in the slightest.

Mobilize the officers and soldiers under the city to prepare for war to go to the city to take turns to save the dead and help the wounded, and replenish the war preparations, although the city is crowded with people late at night, and the river is constantly busy.

Taiyuan City finally got a little angry, the thief army attacked the city and killed the sky, but the entire Taiyuan City was silent, and even the lights were pitiful, although the people of the entire Taiyuan City had woken up at that time.

As the thieves retreated, the sound of killing gradually subsided, and the lights in the city were lit up a lot, faintly there was the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and there were also standing in the courtyard and whispering to the neighbors next door, but no one dared to go out of the courtyard at will, after all, it was still a curfew time.

Of course, there are exceptions.
