Chapter 280: Even God Cried! (Second Update!) )
"Crazy, all thieves are crazy!"
Shi Tingzhu's eyes widened, his face in disbelief.
Normally, the trebuchet will be in disarray after a round of projectiles, and this is the opportunity for the besieging side.
As long as a small group of soldiers climb up to the top of the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of the city, it will buy more time for the soldiers under the city.
As a steady stream of soldiers poured into the city, the offensive and defensive dynamics shifted.
Any small change on the battlefield will directly affect the final trend.
Taking advantage of the opportunity is half the battle.
But today's situation is not at all what Shi Tingzhu imagined.
Not only did the Ming army not panic, but showed extreme anger, as if they were eager to take revenge. What's going on here?
He didn't know that a boulder thrown out by the trebuchet almost hit the Ming Emperor.
The soldiers of the Ming army were extremely angry, and this was the beginning of a wave of counterattacks.
This is a Ming army that Shi Tingzhu feels very unfamiliar with.
Putting aside their combat effectiveness, their willpower is too strong.
But there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and Shi Tingzhu must not choose to give up at this time. Otherwise, all the efforts made before would have been in vain, and the dead soldiers would have died in vain.
"Continue to attack the city, and the reward for attacking the head of the city first is a thousand taels of silver, and it will be promoted to three levels in a row!"
......
......
It's horrible!
Chen Shuncai crawled out of the pile of corpses, his teeth still chattering.
What happened in just one hour was definitely the most terrifying thing he had ever experienced in his life.
The cannons were fired, the stones were flying, the arrows were like feathers, the dead were everywhere, the wails were everywhere, and the whole battlefield was like a slaughterhouse.
Chen Shuncai escaped by pretending to be dead.
This is also his forte, and he used it a lot in the past.
Relying on this exclusive stunt, he saved the day again and again.
This time it was easy for him to pretend to be dead, because there were dead people everywhere, and no one would suspect him if he casually fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
As long as he passes the test, Chen Shuncai can find a chance to return to the team.
At such times, no one will pay attention to the scattered soldiers.
The sky gradually darkened, and after a whole day of onslaught, the Qing army still did not pose any substantial threat to Linqing City.
Shi Tingzhu had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Chen Shuncai saw the opportunity and turned over and ran towards the procrastinating team with his waist half-hunched.
He could vaguely see some familiar faces, some of which were recorded by his own cattle and some by others. Some are good friends, and some are only one-sided.
Although everyone's face was full of disappointment, humiliation, and confusion, Chen Shuncai's mood was still good.
Anyway, Chen Shuncai finally came back alive.
It's good to be alive.
Now that he has Erya, and Erya is also pregnant, he is going to be a father.
How can you die in battle at such a time?
Good days are already beckoning to him, and Chen Shuncai will never miss this opportunity.
The loss of the Han Army Banner was not as serious as that of the Green Battalion, but it also killed quite a few people.
Niu Lu Zhangjing is counting their soldiers, and if the number shortage is too serious, they will be scattered and divided into other Niu Lu.
Chen Shuncai's Niu Lu is not bad, only about thirty percent of the soldiers have been lost, and there is no need to dismantle them.
He walked to the side of the earth in three or two steps, sat down on the ground, pinched the cowhide pouch, and poured water into his mouth.
"Brother Chen!"
Chen Shuncai followed the voice and looked over, and couldn't help but be happy when he saw that it was Liu Liangmin.
"Liangmin, you're okay, it's great."
In this Niu Lu, Chen Shuncai and Liu Liangmin have the best relationship, and the two have been friends for more than ten years.
Seeing that Liu Liangmin was fine, Chen Shuncai was relieved.
Liu Liangmin walked up to Chen Shuncai and said in a low voice: "It's not the trick you taught me, Brother Chen." If I hadn't pretended to be dead, I would have been a lonely ghost by now. ”
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay."
Chen Shuncai has already made up his mind that no matter what the situation is, he will play dead.
If the Qing army took Linqing all the way, it would naturally be the best, and he would not be blushing at the soldiers who rushed into the city first. If the Qing army is defeated, at least one life can be saved.
As long as you live there is hope, and if you die everything is over.
"Brother Chen, how long do you say this battle will last?"
Liu Liangmin sighed with a bitter face: "I thought that it wouldn't take long for the Qing Dynasty to sit firmly after entering the customs. But now it doesn't look that simple. ”
According to rumors, the Ming court absorbed the remnants of the Shun army, and its strength increased greatly. Now, except for Zhang Xianzhong, who lives in Sichuan, this game of chess in the world is basically played by the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Through this Linqing War, Liu Liangmin found that the Ming army that he had in his impression was as docile as a lamb suddenly became much stronger.
"Well, it's hard to say."
Chen Shuncai shook his head helplessly.
For generals, they must hope to have a war, so that they can continue to accumulate military merits and gain high-ranking officials.
But ordinary soldiers don't think so.
The gold and silver they robbed were enough to spend for a lifetime, and they only wanted to live with their hardcore crops in peace, instead of pinning their heads to their belts and working for others.
"Let's take one step at a time."
Sadly, ordinary soldiers like them cannot control their own destiny, and can only obey the arrangements of the general's master, at most, they pretend to be dead on the battlefield and save their lives.
"What do you say Prince Yu is doing? We saw the last Texas War, and the city was really tall and strong, and it was very difficult to fight. ”
In his free time, Liu Liangmin has nothing to do.
"Over in Texas? Last time, it was because we didn't have siege weapons. This time, Prince Yu pushed more than a dozen red-clothed cannons. Under the salvo of artillery, it is not necessary to blow up all the gates and buildings in Texas? ”
Chen Shuncai was very confident in the power of the red-coated cannons, and when attacking Taiyuan, he once saw the red-coated cannons blow up the walls of Taiyuan City into powder, and the city gates were like a piece of tissue paper and rotted with a bang.
No matter how strong Dezhou City is, can it be stronger than Taiyuan, and it can be stronger than Tongguan?
What's more, Prince Yu is in command of a real Manchurian warrior.
I'm afraid they've invaded Texas now, right?
.......
.......
The situation in Texas is not much better than that of Linqing.
Under Duoduo's strict orders, the Qing army finally broke through the trench defense line and pushed the red-coated cannon to the city.
They were about to light a fire and fire a lesson to the arrogant thieves, but they caught up with lightning and thunder and a torrential rain.
What a coincidence!
What guns and artillery are most afraid of is rainy days, and when it rains, the lead bullets cannot be fired, so they will naturally not be able to shoot.
More than a dozen red-coated cannons were all silent, making Duoduo jump to his feet angrily.
But there's no better way for him to curse God, right?
In desperation, Duoduo had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops and consider the long term.
I'm afraid this battle will take a long time.
