Chapter 722: Hit the city

Dolgon gathered 20,000 troops and launched an attack from the two gates of the imperial capital north at the same time with thousands of cannon fodder, taking advantage of the cover of night, resisting the fire suppression of the Ming army in the city with bows and arrows, and at the same time the army rushed to cross the river to transport the engineering equipment to the opposite bank.

This tactic of borrowing the power of nature really worked, even Chang Yu could only watch him pass over the thunder pool, after all, there was no searchlight in these years.

At the lookout on the second floor of the Andingmen City Tower, Chang Yu looked at the melee outside with a solemn face, the Qing army outside the city was screaming, and the firelight was dotted with dense stars, from the west Desheng Gate to the foot to the east.

However, in those invisible dark places, how many Qing troops were rushing to land on the beach, he didn't know, so he could only fight blindly and attack where there was fire, as Li Muxian said.

Bang bang bang, more and more stones are smashed on the city tower, and the loss is getting more and more dense, Chang Yu knows that the Qing army is getting closer and closer, and even some of them have already crossed the river and are still coming with guys.

"It's quite fast" Li Muxian whispered, Chang Yu was silent, turned around and looked at the west window, and saw that there was also a little fire swimming outside the west city, knowing that it was just a bluff, and looking due south, the lights over there were still not visible and abnormal, and he was suspicious, could it be that the Tartar over there had not yet moved.

He expected that Dolgon would inevitably find a flank attack point in order to contain the Ming army in the city, and the southern city was the best place, first, the Yongding River was almost dry, and second, it could guard against the Ming army in the south.

However, with the high walls of the imperial capital, as long as you stick to it, it is not easy for the enemy to break the city with artillery support, not to mention that the Qing army at this time is no different from the barefoot, so Chang Yu almost transferred his troops and combat readiness to the north city to deal with the main force of the Qing army, and the south city is in a normal defensive state, only leaving an extra reserve under the city.

In addition, he also made Jia Waixiong, the most warlike soldier under his command, sit in charge of the battle, and the first fierce general under his command, Tu Yuan, complemented him in Xicheng to ensure that the southern city was worry-free, but this side was about to fight under the city, but why did it not do it there, Chang Yu was a little puzzled, so he sent someone to investigate.

Several rockets were fired into the city tower, and Chen Suole raised his foot to step on it, persuading Chang Yu to go down the city tower.

The head of the city is the most dangerous place, the first enemy siege is here, first, the landlord will like to sit here, and secondly, this is also a spiritual symbol, once the city is bombarded or ignited, it can boost their morale and hit the opponent's morale at the same time.

However, at this time, the Qing army had no artillery, and it was absolutely impossible to collapse the Andingmen tower, and it was extremely difficult to even burn it, but Chang Yu still walked out of the city tower, not to be afraid, but to improve morale on the front line, after all, he was the soul of the Ming army.

The flying stones and arrows on the city are like a rain of locusts, crackling and falling screams, Chang Yu, who has been in the big scene for a long time, does not change his face and roars to boost his morale, while swimming towards the west, Li Muxian behind him is holding a shield on his head, his face is pale, he can't speak, take a look at Chen Suole around him is slightly embarrassed, damn the one who has been on the battlefield and those who have run through the rivers and lakes are different, and he threw the shield away in a fit of anger, and just smashed it with a flying stone, he couldn't dodge the shoulder, Rao is armored, Still grinning in pain, he almost fell headlong.

Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at him when he heard the sound: "Why are you throwing away a good shield, pretending to be ...... by lightning" Before he finished speaking, he was directly hit by a flying stone with a bang, fortunately his mountain armor was thick enough to be injured, but he also fell lightly, and scolded angrily.

"Overseer, are you okay......" The relatives and guards hurriedly helped him, but Chang Yu noticed that there was a voice that was wrong, looked up, and took Song Luoyu out, and couldn't help yelling: "Who asked you to come over."

Song Luoyu had been ordered to escort Princess Kunxing back to the yamen, but when she appeared in the city at this time, Chang Yu was furious: "I don't know if women can't go to the city!" ”

"Why not?" Song Luoyu, her eyes were red: "If you take refuge in the overseer, you want to kill the tartars, but you have to do the work of serving people, and the lowly is not convinced, and the governor mainly looks down on women, so he will drive away the lowly job!" ”

Song Luoshu next to "Luo Yu" saw his sister fighting like this, so he quickly pulled it and reprimanded: "How dare you talk to the overseer like this......

Chang Yu was suffocated by Song Luoyu's words, and then shouted angrily: "You have to be able to go into battle to kill Tartars, how can you kill at this moment, do you send arrows, can you move stones?" Get down! ”

Chang Yu is really angry, he is a straight man, firstly, he can't accept that a man will not let a woman go on the field to kill the enemy, and secondly, Song Luoyu openly disobeyed the order, how can Princess Kunxing lose in the yamen, although Chen Wangting and Jiang Fa are in charge of the yamen, but after all, it is not as convenient as Song Luoyu to protect himself.

Seeing that he was angry, Song Luoyu didn't dare to fight again, turned his head and ran down the city, and at this time, when the Tartars were attacking the city, Chang Yu didn't have time to worry about anything else with her, and after getting up from the ground, he continued to go west along the city wall, boosting morale anytime and anywhere, and even shooting the enemy with a bow in person.

Seeing him like this, his morale was unprecedentedly high, and he struggled to resist the firepower and suppressed the Qing army under the city.

However, taking advantage of the cover of night, the Qing army still crossed the river easily, and the Ming army in the city could clearly feel that the Qing army's counterattack was becoming more and more powerful, and the killing voice was getting louder and louder.

The pressure on the hearts of the Ming army is also increasing, after all, too many of them have not fought for too long, and they have not seen blood, at this time, even if they are defending the city, they are still very afraid in their hearts, seeing their comrades around them or seriously injured, moaning or dying, they can't help but panic in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the Great Eunuch Army was always on the front line and ordered the four battalions under his command to supervise the battle, I don't know what the chaos would be.

The east is gradually whitening, the city is still faintly visible, and the dense figures on both sides of the moat around the waist are Chang Yu, who is used to seeing big scenes, also gasped, as for how these raw melons and eggs in the city and Beijing camp feel, you can imagine.

"Killing the enemy can protect the country's family, if these dog-day Tartars break the city, not only will there be no bones, but the whole family's parents and sisters will not be spared, the Tartars have always been inhumane......" Chang Yu waved his knife and roared, and the soldiers were all frightened when they smelled it, especially afraid that the cold and shining steel knife would fall on their necks.

The show is finally about to start, Chang Yu looked at the sky, and then looked outside the city, in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, when the sky was slightly bright, Dolgon's men and horses finally crossed the river, and at the same time cut the drawbridge, most of the men and horses had already quickly Chen soldiers under the city, and the real siege battle was about to begin.

It's a lot easier than expected, a few miles outside the city, Dolgon Lema watched the battle, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, very proud, everything in these years can not be taken as usual, and it is not impossible to get unexpected joy with a small fight.

In the city, Chang Yu was in the arrow tower of Desheng Gate, and he asked Li Muxian expressionlessly, daring to ask the immortal chief: "How to fight next?" ”

Li Muxian stroked his beard: "When the morning dawns out of the city to annihilate it, the poor Dao once heard that the overseer did this when he fought against the thieves in Taiyuan."

"Immortal Elder is so murderous," Chang Yu teased: "Why don't you wait and let the Dao Elder lead his troops out of the city?" Li Muxian was stunned: "Ah, the poor road is not good at this" I wondered in my heart, why did the little eunuch always encourage me to go into battle recently, it wouldn't be because he didn't like me and wanted to kill me.

Chang Yu laughed: "If there is a thief army outside the city, or if the men and horses of General Zhou and Huang General are in this governor, they may be able to try, then at this time...... Hey, hey".

Li Muxian bowed, he already understood what Chang Yu meant, at the beginning he was facing a rabble of thieves in Taiyuan, and under his command was Zhou Yuji's perennial front-line fighting troops, but now, there are fierce Tartar soldiers outside, but in the city are vegetable melon heads.

So he has already determined the tactic, that is, not to fight you head-on, and to defend the city and grind you to death!
