A fire dragon instantly ignited in front of the Qing army, and it exploded with a sound, and the scene was very tragic.

All the charging Qing army green battalion soldiers were stunned for a moment, they had never seen such a scene before, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Even the court-martials behind them did not press again.

In the distance, Luckedhun had apparently noticed this.

He clenched his fists, and the knuckles creaked.

Shi Tingzhu frowned and said nothing.

When did the Ming army become so kind? He was not afraid of death, and did not hesitate to set fire to himself to block the advance of the Qing army.

"Lord Belle, the minions don't think this fire will last long. When the fire is smaller, the army can be called in to fill the trenches. ”

Lucked let out a long breath and nodded, "Well, just wait a minute." ”

Although the trench between the two bastions is not very long, it can still accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

When attacking this trench, the Qing army, especially the Green Battalion, still paid a lot of price, and Luckduhun did not want to attack other trenches again.

So he decided to wait.

The tung oil will always burn out, and it is only a matter of time before the Qing army breaks through this line of defense.

...

...

After about two hours, the fire finally became much smaller.

The Qing army opened the way by the Green Camp Army, first filled in the trenches, and then advanced in a big way.

But when their vanguard crossed the trench, they found in front of them a trench about the same width, which had also been preceded by a breastwork.

It is clear that the trench could not have been excavated temporarily, nor could the breastwall be built temporarily.

In other words, these are all things that the Ming army thought about at the beginning!

There was a sense of despair in all.

They really didn't want to repeat the impact, but they had to bite the bullet with the military order.

The Conch remembered again, like a life-threatening note.

The soldiers of the Green Battalion held a shield in one hand and a tiger tooth knife in the other, bowed their bodies into a shrimp shape, and ran forward with their heads bored.

In response to them were "mud pills".

This thing seems to have the anger of the Ming soldiers, and the power of the explosion seems to have increased a little.

Every time they push forward, the Green Battalion will have to pay a terrible price.

Of course, the Green Battalion soldiers also had experience, and they chose to move forward in a zigzag rather than the previous straight line.

In this way, the power of the 10,000 enemies has been reduced a lot.

When the Green Battalion rushed to the breastwork, this time the Ming army did not set fire, but chose hand-to-hand combat.

One by one, the Ming soldiers jumped out and slashed together with the green battalion soldiers with waist knives.

They are outnumbered, but the terrain is superior. Therefore, it can still hold on for a long time.

White-knuckle combat is brutal.

A Ming soldier and a Green Battalion soldier both fought their blades, rolled to the ground and scuffled together, with fists, feet, teeth, everything they could use.

The Ming soldiers bit the neck of the Green Battalion soldier fiercely and tore off a piece of bloody flesh.

The green battalion soldier passed out in pain.

There were screams and cries everywhere, like Shura's hell.

...

...

Although the Qing army finally broke through the blockade of the trenches, Luckedhun's face was very unsightly.

The strength of the Green Battalion was lost by more than forty percent in this section, which can be described as a heavy loss.

This is just breaking through the trench. What would have happened if he had insisted on attacking the fortress in the first place? Lucked couldn't imagine it.

But in any case, the Qing army came to Linqing City.

Lek Dehun followed Shi Tingzhu's advice and gave up attacking the outlying forts, instead deciding to concentrate superior forces to storm Linqing City.

Although there were no redcoat cannons, there were still a few small cannons in the Luckedhun army.

He ordered people to push out the small cannons, and fired a few cannons at the head of Linqing City as a demonstration.

Naturally, these cannons could not cause any damage to the body of Linqing City, but they were undoubtedly provocative.

Soon he received a response from the Ming army.

Several Franc cannons were fired at the same time, jumping the chickens and dogs in front of the Qing army.

Enraged, Luckedhun ordered the siege equipment to be advanced under the city in preparation for the siege.

Because there is no such weapon as a red-coated cannon, Luckedhun is still very attentive to the siege equipment such as ladders, rushing cars, and trebuchets.

But it was not an easy task to transport these large siege equipment through even the filled trenches.

After Luckedhun gave the order, only two or three ladders and chariots were pushed by the Green Battalion Army towards the city.

Although the Green Battalion suffered heavy losses, Luckedhun still chose to let them go first.

After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Meng Army are the elite second only to the Eight Banners of the Manchurian Army, and they cannot be easily used until the last moment.

Fight, fight, as long as you can take Linqing, these green battalion soldiers will all be dead, and Luck Dehun will not feel the slightest distress.

...

...

"Your Majesty, the city is dangerous, please move your majesty to the palace."

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was going to the city, Gao Jie hurriedly dissuaded.

Now the Qing army has broken through the first line of defense of fortresses and trenches, and Linqing City is the front line.

How can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to come to the front line?

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, and I will go to the top of the city to personally cheer for the soldiers, so Gao Qing will not persuade me anymore." ”

"It's... Obey the order. ”

Gao Jie was very reluctant to clench his fists and take his life.

Although Linqing City is tall and sturdy, and the possibility of being injured by a stray arrow lead bullet while standing at the head of the city is very small, there is still this kind of ability after all.

If there is really something bad about the son of the day, won't he become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty through the ages?

You must know that when today's son is just sixteen years old, and there is no heir before the queen is canonized, if there is really an accident, who should inherit the throne?

I'm afraid that the vassal kings of all walks of life are going to fight for the head and break the bloodstream, right?

Gao Jie shook his head violently and snorted in his heart.

Why can't he hope for something good? Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and with the blessing of God, there will be no accidents.

Zhu Cihong ascended to the head of Linqing City through the horse road surrounded by a group of guards.

Gao Jie and his soldiers followed behind.

Zhu Cihong stood at the head of the city and looked down, looking at the black oppressive crowd and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These green battalion soldiers were originally Ming officers and soldiers, but once they were captured, they went down step by step. ”

Gao Jie clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, these two Tartars are even more hateful than the real captives. It is said that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, they are obviously Han people, but they have to go up the pole to lick the eyes of the Tartars, which is really a shame for the Han people! ”

Zhu Cihong took a deep breath and said, "Gao Qing, get ready to fire!" ”

It turned out that when Zhu Cihong came to Qingzhou in person, he also brought a few twelve-pounder cannons.

This new Franc machine is no less powerful than the Hongyi cannon, but it has a faster rate of fire and is easier to reload.

Zhu Cihong has been suppressing and not letting Gao Jie use it without permission, in order to wait for this moment.

Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this. He had long heard that this Franc cannon was infinitely powerful, and today he used these Green Battalion Two Tartars to test the cannon!
