Chapter 204: Jining City Broken (2)

"Commander Ji, it's not good, I can't imagine that Qing Yu actually came up with such a way to deal with our Ming Dynasty's Ying Long Army!" Lu Yanshou said to Ji Feng gloomily, his tone full of worry.

In the scene just now, they watched the battle in the rear, and they also saw that the Ying Long army retreated with almost no power to fight back, and the Ying Long army was the backbone of Jining City's resistance to the Qing army, if it was restrained by the Qing army, once the Qing army rushed into the city again, the consequences would be unpredictable, and Lu Yanshou could not help but worry.

"Deputy General Lu don't worry, I'm Yinglong Jun, as the emperor's pro-army, has a great reputation, it's not that bad, you just look at it!" Ji Feng said with a smile.

Although Ji Feng was a little shocked by the scene just now, he would not be able to destroy the prestige of the Ying Long Army, and the Ying Long Army was indeed not so easy to be defeated, Ji Feng did not even plan to send additional people over, if that Ying Long Army Qian Zong could not cope with such a situation, he would not have to be the Ying Long Army's Qian Zong.

With Ji Feng's assurance, Lu Yanshou's heart was a little settled!

At the gap, Mr. Ying Long Jun Qian withdrew to a place more than 20 meters away from the gap with the remaining Ying Long Army, and the soldiers quickly reorganized the formation!

"Ready!" Seeing that the Qing soldiers were about to rush in from the gap again, Ying Long Jun Qian's right hand was raised, ready to give the order to fire at any time!

Although the soldiers of Ying Longjun were frightened by the scene just now, Ying Longjun's psychological quality was still very firm, and naturally he would not be defeated like this.

"Boom!" A flowering bomb exploded a few dozen meters behind it.

Outside the city, the Qing army's artillery bombarded another section of the city wall, and continued to use flowering shells in the city, such a formation as Ying Longjun, if the unlucky one was concentrated by a flowering bullet, at least dozens of casualties, although there was such a danger, but at this moment the soldiers of the Ying Long Army responded calmly, put life and death aside, stared at the gap one by one, put their fingers on the trigger, just waiting for the order of the general manager, and then hooked the trigger.

In just a few moments, no less than 1,000 Qing soldiers gathered outside the gap, and the first wave of nearly twenty Qing soldiers rushed in from the gap.

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang" Ying Long Junqian's raised right hand waved down violently, and immediately ordered to fire.

Lead bullets flew away, and the nearly twenty Qing soldiers who rushed in first were all killed.

After two rounds of fire, the gap was again covered with a layer of corpses of Qing soldiers.

"Giant crossbow! Giant crossbow! A Qing army general shouted backwards.

Because the gap is only more than three meters wide, it can't accommodate so many giant crossbows, only a few giant crossbows have been lifted up, and these giant crossbows have all been bowstringed, however, these giant crossbows have just been lifted to the gap, and before they can be put on the ground to fire, Ying Longjun's lead bullet came.

"Fire!" Ying Longjun Qian sneered, there are collapsed city wall debris at the gap, with the current position of the Ying Dragon Army, if the Qing army does not lift the giant crossbow to the gap, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Ying Long Army, and even if they are lifted to the gap, they are already within the range of the Ying Long Army's flintlock pistol, as long as it is within the range of the flintlock pistol, the Qing army's giant crossbow will be a waste.

"Whew! Laugh at! "The lead bullet hit the giant crossbows, not only killing all the Qing soldiers who carried the giant crossbows, but also the giant crossbows were also beaten to the ground with sawdust flying and destroyed in an instant!"

"Damn!" The Manchurian generals who supervised the battle behind him had an iron face.

"Don't go back! Keep rushing, rush in for Lao Tzu! The Manchurian general roared angrily, and with a single kick he threw a flinching Qing soldier to the ground.

The Qing soldiers were afraid of the Manchu intimidation, subconsciously obeyed the order, and continued to rush towards the gap.

"Look for death!" Ying Longjun sneered.

"Fire!"

The soldiers of the Ying Long Army continued to fire in turns, and without the threat of giant crossbows, the Ying Long Army slaughtered the Qing soldiers again like slaughtering chickens and sheep, and soon, the corpses of the Qing soldiers more than one meter high were piled up again in the gap.

The Qing troops retreated again, realizing that it was impossible to capture the city of Jining with a small gap, and Dolgon ordered to continue to bombard the city wall with all his might, intending to open a few more gaps.

After another more than an hour of bombardment, a total of three places in the Jining city wall were collapsed, and the original main battlefield was transferred from the city wall to the gap, and climbing the city wall to attack the city tower became an incident.

The battle for the gap is fierce.

Dorgon ordered some of the cardinal cannons to be turned to bombard the breach.

In this way, not only can the gap be quickly expanded, but the shells can also be shot through the gap and bombard the Ming army inside.

Originally, because of the blockage of the city wall, even if the cannonballs of the Qing army artillery crossed the city wall and entered the city, it was impossible for the cannonballs to hit the distance within tens of meters from the city wall, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered at a distance of dozens of meters from the city wall.

"Boom Boom"

Although only twenty or thirty pieces of each round of shelling flew into the city from the gap and exploded within a few dozen meters of the city wall, it was these twenty or thirty flowering shells that caused nearly 300 casualties to the Ming army, including more than 30 soldiers of the Yinglong Army.

This result was extremely disastrous, and Ji Feng and Lu Yanshou's hearts were dripping blood.

"The Qingyu cannon is too powerful, I'm afraid it's not easy to hold Jining City, and I don't know when the order to retreat will come!" Lu Yanshou said to Ji Feng.

"No matter how heavy the casualties are, if there is no order from the emperor, we must defend to the death, even if all the soldiers here are killed!" Ji Feng didn't have the slightest fear of death, and obeyed Zhu Cihong's orders.

Although it was approaching evening, the fierce battle continued.

By the time night came, the three gaps in the walls had more than doubled, almost each of them about six or seven meters wide, and were filled with corpses.

Because the red-clothed cannons of the Qing army re-fired every time they dissipated heat, they were concentrated in these three gaps, resulting in most of the corpses here being minced meat, and the broken intestines hung on some masonry, flowing in all directions in the viscous blood, like Shura hell! It's bloody, it's terrifying.

As soon as the fighting stopped, many soldiers couldn't help but vomit as they stared at the minced meat all over the ground.

Even cold-blooded people like Ji Feng felt unbearable, and their faces turned pale, which was really miserable.

Well?

Ji Feng suddenly felt a few small but cold drops falling on his face, Ji Feng touched his face behind him, and then looked at the dark sky, under the light of the torch, the fine rain and dew were clearly visible, and the sky was actually drizzling, and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

"It's raining!" Ji Feng's face turned blue, and he had an extremely bad premonition.

It was not surprising that it would rain during the day, and it was not for nothing that Dorgon chose to lead his army south when the rainy season arrived.

Outside the city, the Qing army camp.

Azig excitedly rushed into Dolgon's tent.

"Hahahaha, fourteenth brother, it's raining in the sky, and our red-coated artillery is afraid that it won't be able to continue bombarding." Yes, it is true that their cannons can no longer bombard, but this also means that the muskets of the Ying Long army in the city cannot be used.

"Great! Order, siege the city overnight! Dolgon's eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered.

The city wall has been blasted out of three gaps with a width of six or seven meters, and the impact of the cannon on the Qing army is not great, but the impact on the Ying Long army in the city is fatal!
