Chapter 681: Fierce Battle for Kul Fortress

Inside the Kurr Fortress, General Ahmadan's face darkened slightly. He was almost killed just now, but fortunately, Allah forbid, the fortress could not lose his commander, and the artillery of the Qing army was indeed as terrible as rumored.

After about half a pillar of incense, the Qing army was fully prepared and began to attack the Kur fortress.

"Fire!" Where the Qing army broke the dragon, sixty cannons roared at the stone wall of the Kur fortress.

"Boom Boom"

Shells exploded inside the fortress of Kur, killing and wounding one Persian soldier after another with shrapnel and blazing air.

"Boom, boom, boom" was only twenty-one or two breaths, and another round of shelling.

"Kill," the sound of killing sounded outside the fortress.

Thousands of Manchu Eight Banners opened the way, and more than 10,000 servant cavalry and 20,000 Persian banner infantry followed, rushing to the stone wall of the Kur fortress.

"Quick, fight back! Counterattack! General Ahmadan roared loudly and commanded the Persian soldiers in the fortress to climb the stone wall to defend against the enemy.

The Qing army's artillery salvos were fired at such short intervals, which were much more powerful than he had imagined. There were only 80,000 soldiers in the Kur fortress, and under such heavy shelling, it was absolutely impossible to stop the Qing army's attack for long, but they had to hold out until the main army of the empire came to support.

Outside the fortress, the Qing soldiers who attacked the stone wall only brought a few ladders to make the appearance of attacking the city, but in fact, most of them only threw arrows at the stone wall and inside the fortress outside the fortress.

Its main purpose was to keep the Persian soldiers in Sene firmly pinned down to the stone wall for cannonballs and arrows to kill.

The power of the Qing army's artillery had been revealed two years earlier, and since the Kur Fortress was built to deal with the Qing army, it was naturally extremely strong and thick, although Dolgon was confident that it would still not be able to stop their sixty imitation Shenwu field cannons.

However, the cannonballs were not infinite, and Dorgon needed to leave more shells for the subsequent sieges, so the goal of the cannons at this moment was not to collapse the stone walls, but to kill as many Persian soldiers as possible in the fortress.

On the stone wall, Persian soldiers were blown off the stone wall by the air waves of cannonballs.

Similarly, a continuous stream of arrows was killing and wounding the Persian soldiers on the stone wall.

"Fight back! Counterattack! A Persian general roared.

The Persian soldiers on the stone wall also shot arrows at the Qing soldiers outside the fortress, killing and wounding many Qing soldiers.

However, under the threat of artillery fire, and the fact that the Qing soldiers outside the fortress near the stone wall far outnumbered the Persian soldiers on the stone wall, the Persian soldiers' counterattack was weak, and only two to three casualties could kill or wound a Qing soldier, such a casualty ratio was unimaginable for the Persian soldiers as the defender, and undoubtedly hit the morale of the Persian soldiers even more.

Due to the heavy artillery fire, the dense arrows, and the heavy casualties of the Persian soldiers on the stone walls, they were only recruited this year, and their will to fight was only slightly stronger than that of the rabble, and some Persian soldiers began to retreat in fear.

One of the stone walls was empty for Persian soldiers, and was climbed up from a ladder by a Qing soldier.

The Qing soldier who was lucky enough to climb the stone wall was overjoyed.

When the Qing soldiers under this ladder saw that their comrades could climb the stone wall from here, the Qing soldiers who were originally just tentatively climbing began to concentrate on a large scale under this ladder and climb intensively.

Soon, two, three, more and more Qing soldiers climbed the stone wall from this ladder.

"Quick, knock the enemy back!" On the stone wall, a Persian general was shocked and personally brought Persian soldiers to stop him, wanting to beat down the Qing soldiers who climbed the stone wall.

In the fierce battle, relying on the absolute superiority in numbers, the Persian soldiers quickly defeated nearly ten Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to climb the stone wall under the leadership of this Persian general, and recaptured this section of the stone wall from the new.

"Boom, boom, boom" The Qing army's artillery fire continued, and a shell exploded in the middle of this group of Persian soldiers, knocking three people off the stone wall on the spot, and four others were killed and wounded.

Inside the fortress, the news that Qing soldiers had just climbed the stone wall reached the ears of General Amadan.

General Ma Dan suddenly looked angry, and after a while of the battle, there were Qing soldiers who climbed the stone wall, which was opened.

"Increase the first line of stone wall defense, for the sake of Allah, it must be defended!" General Madan said angrily.

In order to avoid the loss of the first stone wall, Amadan transferred 3,000 Persian soldiers from the second stone wall and the third stone wall to reinforce the first stone wall.

Under the first stone wall defense line, Persian generals constantly ordered soldiers to brave the heavy artillery fire of the Qing army to climb the stone wall to defend it, and there were no less than 2,000 Persian soldiers on the stone wall almost every moment.

"Boom Boom"

"Woohoo"

The rain of cannonballs and arrows enveloped the first stone wall defense, and on the stone wall lay the bodies of a large number of Persian soldiers, some of whom were blown to pieces by cannonballs, and some of whom were shot by the rain of arrows.

It is impossible to retreat, and on this stone wall, no one allows them to retreat, without an order, dare to go down the stone wall, and they will also be sent on the spot for desertion to confess to Allah.

Although terrified, the Persian soldiers who had already climbed the stone wall had to grit their teeth and desperately support,

The Persian soldiers suffered more and more casualties, and from time to time one or two Qing soldiers climbed the stone wall under the cover of artillery fire and arrow rain, causing panic among the Persian soldiers, but with the overwhelming number of people, the Persian soldiers on the stone wall quickly killed the Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to climb the stone wall.

Time passed little by little, and there were a large number of Qing soldiers outside the fortress who shot arrows at the stone walls and inside the fortress, especially those Manchu and servant cavalry who lived on horseback and were in the company of bows and arrows since childhood, their archery skills were the most accurate, and no Persian soldier dared to expose his body.

Outside the fortress, in the middle of the Qing army, a hint of sharpness flashed in Dolgon's eyes.

"It's time!" Dorgon muttered, ready to unleash a sudden, powerful blow that would take down the first stone wall of defense in one fell swoop.

"Bow down!" Dorgon yelled.

"The minions are here!" The sturdy Ao Bai immediately stood up and licked his lips bloodthirsty, he knew it was time for him to play.

"Since you took the initiative to ask for help, go and take down the first fortress stone wall!" Dorgon ordered loudly.

"Wow!" Ao Bai immediately received his order.

After a moment, Ao Bai took five hundred warriors selected from the Eight Banners and carried thirty ladders to the first stone wall of the fortress.

Originally, there were only ten ladders used to climb the stone wall, which were used to paralyze the Persians in the fortress, but now Dolgon suddenly dispatched the hidden thirty ladders, and asked Ao Bai to personally climb the city wall with 500 warriors of the Eight Banners, which was his sudden attack, to take down the first stone wall defense in one fell swoop.

"Kill!" Ao Bai bit the steel knife in his mouth, used both hands, and quickly climbed from the ladder to the stone wall.

Originally, as the owner of one of the eight banners, it was impossible for Ao Bai to rush to the front line of climbing the city wall like this, but Ao Bai was completely convinced of Dolgon at this moment, and in order to be able to achieve Dolgon's goal and quickly take down the first stone wall, he took the initiative to ask Dolgon to personally lead the team to climb the stone wall, and also made a military order to take the first stone wall defense.

Ao Bai is the first warrior of the Manchurians, and his bravery is extraordinary, once he fights to the death, the combat power that bursts out is still extremely powerful.
