"What's wrong? Isn't it blistered on the soles of your feet? The veteran Lin Xiao guessed it.

"Hmm...... Ah! Lu Hua snorted lightly.

"Get in the car, get in the car. You've never been a soldier, and you've been pretty good at it so far. ”

Lin Xiao said softly, "Let the medical staff pick bubbles for you, bandage it and you'll be fine, and hand it over to Situ Zheng after the radio is turned on." ”

"I'm fine......"

"Situ Zheng, quickly help Staff Officer Lu into the carriage and call the medical guard...... Then put the radio on his back and follow me. Lin Xiao couldn't help but say, and ...... cleanly called Situ Zheng.

After the intercom radio was connected, Lin Xiao's first call was He Shouxin, but it was Zhang Chenfeng who answered the call.

Zhang Chenfeng After they got the ammunition replenishment, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Qing army camp in the west of the city, the west of the city is where the main force of the Qing army is, there are more than 10,000 people, and there are more than a dozen defensive camps on the periphery, and more than 100 of them have broken through five or six in one go, and the Yulin city wall is already close at hand.

Helplessly, the sandbags for filling the trenches were not enough, and the Qing army also bullied them with few people, so they fought to the death and did not retreat, not only using the cover of hills, mounds and bushes to form a musket defense line, but also mobilizing artillery to bombard continuously, and even launching a counter-charge again and again regardless of life or death, the battle was very fierce, and it was difficult to continue to advance without sandbags to fill the trenches.

The Qing army attacking the city also ignored the periphery and continuously stormed Yulin City, and the walls of Yulin had been collapsed in several places, and the situation was precarious.

"Bring more bales! Let Ding Shuai bring more straw bales, captain! Otherwise, the trench will not be crossed! Zhang Chenfeng shouted loudly.

Lin Xiao was so anxious that he immediately called Ding Shuai, but Ding Shuai reported very excitedly: "Captain, I have taken the lead in crossing the Liyu River and am rapidly heading north, Yulin City is in sight, and I have heard the sound of gunfire." ”

"Good! You can arrive in 10 minutes! Pack more punching bags! Fill in the trenches! Fill in the trenches! ”

Lin Xiao remembered that after the Liyu River ferry, it was only three or four kilometers away from Yulin City.

"After joining up with Zhang Chenfeng, immediately launch an attack, at least rush to the city wall, and then leave the enemy's defeated troops to Zhang Chenfeng, you go around to the north city and kill the Qing army there for me!"

"Understood!"

"Duan Zhenghong, where have you been?" Lin Xiao then called Duan Zhenghong.

"Captain, I'm right behind Ding Shuai, waiting to cross the river."

"Okay, you listen to me, follow closely with a battalion, and smash all the artillery of the Qing army for me! Hit hard with your mortar! ”

"Understood! Captain! Duan Zhenghong, who usually laughs and laughs, is very calm as soon as he enters the battle formation.

"Zhu Yujia, the main force of your battalion doesn't have to go north, immediately turn around and rush to the south of the city, find a way to grab a boat to cross the river, and attack Shang Zhixin's camp, I want Shang Zhixin's dog head."

"Yes! Captain! ”

Zhu Yujia received the order and immediately led his troops to the Yujiang River.

……

Lin Xiao's worries were right, Yulin City was not in danger, but had basically been broken.

Daming Jinyi Guard Governor Tongzhi and Nanyang Bo Li Yuanyin, led 3,000 forbidden troops, relying on the full assistance of the people in the city, and stubbornly withstood the countless onslaughts of more than 20,000 Qing troops, and it was the fourth day today.

This time, Zhaoqing and Wuzhou fell one after another, Emperor Yongli fled westward in a hurry, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military supported the emperor all the way to Nanning, and the guards along the way were like birds with a frightened bow, either abandoning or offering the city, Yongli had to leave Li Yuanyin in Yulin, guarding the east gate of the capital alone, so that Li Yuanyin fell into a heavy siege.

Li Yuanyin did everything he could, collecting grain and grass, reorganizing ordnance, and training the militia, although morale was high, due to the hasty defense of the city, the materials in the city were extremely scarce.

In particular, the food is only enough for the military and civilians of the whole city for half a month, and the rear court itself is difficult to protect, and there is no support from soldiers and materials at all, and when the Qing army really besieges the city, there are only a few days of rations left in the city.

Because he heard sporadic gunfire outside the city at the beginning, Li Yuanyin continued to boost morale with the arrival of reinforcements, so all the seven or eight thousand soldiers and civilians who were able to go into battle were able to hold on to this day with one breath.

And now, seeing that the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, Li Yuanyin knows that the last moment has come.

Unlike Lin Xiao's troops, the Qing army's siege troops did not have modern artillery, but they had their own siege weapons in this era, in addition to several 18-pounder general cannons weighing more than 3,000 catties, they also had dozens of other types of light artillery, bombarding the city wall of Yulin day and night.

Once the city wall was blasted out of the breach, a large number of siege soldiers pushed trench carts and mantle carts, carried ladders and rushed to the bottom of the city, and climbed up one after another, and behind them, there were even musketeers under the cover, ping pong to shoot lead bullets at the city.

It can be said that the siege of the Qing army is still quite methodical and hierarchical, as long as a place is broken through the gap, then a large number of sword players will pour into the city in waves, forcing the defenders into street fighting.

Because the cannons, rolling stones, sasswoods and other materials to defend the city are all exhausted, the soldiers and civilians defending the city can only be forced to fight with the Qing army pouring into the city, after driving the Qing army out of the city several times, the forbidden army under Li Yuanyin is less than 1,000 people, thousands of people have been killed and wounded, the east city and the north city gate have fallen one after another, only the west city gate is still in the hands of the Ming army, the soldiers and civilians in the city fought and retreated, and retreated to a corner of the west city, and the Qing army fought hard street battles.

Li Yuanyin entered the arrow tower of the west city wall, ordered his own soldiers to help him take off his battle armor, put on the Ming Dynasty from the three-grade court clothes, climbed the city and bowed four times, looked at the west from afar, and cried: "Your Majesty is a minister, and the minister is not worthy of Your Majesty!" There is only one death today! ”

Dozens of soldiers beside him who had fought to the point of exhaustion and blood sticking to their ragged robes were all moved when they heard this, and a staff general couldn't help but cry: "Your Excellency, it is a great honor to be able to die with the general in fighting for the country!" Please lead me to kill a few more Tartars! I swear to fight with the Tartars to the end! ”

"Fight to the end! Fight to the end! Fight to the end! ”

All the relatives and soldiers stared at their blood-red eyes, raised their swords and shouted in unison.

"Good! You are my good brothers! It's all my good son! ”

Li Yuanyin lifted the hem of his official uniform and stuffed it into his belt, picked up a war knife, pointed at the Qing soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city not far away, and shouted: "Brothers! Kill me! ”

"Kill! Kill! ”

A total of twenty or thirty remnants of the soldiers, under the leadership of Li Yuanyin, brandished their swords and rushed towards the Qing soldiers at the head of the city, knowing that this was a desperate fight, they have stimulated the last potential in their bodies, and they were invincible, killing all the Qing troops within a few hundred meters, until they rushed to a collapse, they were so tired that they collapsed and looked at the scene of brutal fighting everywhere in the city in the distance, but they were no longer able to charge.

The Ming soldiers and civilians on the head of the city intermittently in the distance were encouraged to fight back, and for a time they drove out the Qing soldiers who climbed the west city wall, and dozens of ladders were also poked away from the city wall, and the Qing soldiers on the ladder howled one by one and fell down the city.

However, after all, it was a dying fight, and after the tragic victory, the Ming army was no longer able to counterattack other places, and they staggered one by one with knives and guns, and almost exhausted their strength to stand.

Li Yuanyin, who was standing at the head of the city and was undecided, stared at the Qing soldiers who launched another wave of offensive with cloud ladders outside the city, and the streets and alleys in the city were also full of fires and gunshots, and judging from the sound of gunfire and shouting of killing, the defense line of his subordinates was getting closer and closer to the West Gate Tower.

Seeing that the encirclement inside the city was getting smaller and smaller, the Qing army outside the city climbed up one by one, and a deep sense of despair rose from Li Yuanyin's heart.

He knew that there was really no way to turn the tide, so he straightened his clothes, raised the sword that was still dripping blood, and beckoned the surviving soldiers around him to move closer to him, ready to die with the enemy.

After a Qing army general ascended to the top of the city, he shouted wildly and waved his sword to slash several people, covering his subordinates to climb the wall one after another, and then killed all the way to the direction of the arrow tower where Li Yuanyin was located. Li Yuanyin looked around at the only dozen or so pro-soldiers around him, and quietly watched the Qing army squad dozens of steps away.

Forty steps! …… Thirty steps! …… Twenty steps!

"Kill!"

With an incomparably poignant long groan, Li Yuanyin swung his sword with all his strength and was the first to rush out......
