(The first update, ask for recommendation votes, Lao Kun needs everyone's support!) ）

On June 21, the Qing troops of the Jueluo Bahana Division and the Shi Tingzhu Division entered Dezhou.

On the 22nd, Kyorophahana ordered a letter of surrender to be written, tied to an arrow, and shot into the city, but to no avail.

On the 23rd, the Qing army began to attack the city.

The circumference of Dezhou City is 5,100 meters, the height of the city is 12 meters, and the wall thickness is 9 meters. The moat is 15 meters wide and 6 meters deep, and there are five gates. Its east gate is Changle Gate, the south gate is Chaoyang Gate, the west gate is Juxiu Gate, the north gate is Gongji Gate, and the northwest is Guangchuan Gate, also known as Xiaoxi Gate.

Jueluo Bahana sent people around the city to carefully investigate, discussed with Shi Tingzhu, and finally decided to attack from the north gate and the west gate, while the east gate and the south gate were only feints.

It's not that Kyaw Lo Bahana doesn't want to join the siege, but that the number of armor soldiers they brought with them this time is limited. Dezhou is also a big city, and if the Qing army's forces are too divided, each side will not have an advantage.

Due to the urgency of this division, the Qing army did not have time to build too many siege equipment, and even the ram hammer was made of freshly cut trees.

However, Kyaw Lo Bahana is full of confidence in taking Texas.

In his opinion, the city of Dezhou must be very empty at this time, and at most it is garrisoned by some government officials and village soldiers.

As long as the Manchurian warriors launched a charge, they could easily take the city.

As soon as she thought of the gold and silver treasures in the city of Texas, the cattle woman Jueluo Bahana swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

Haha, the regent treats him very well, and he actually handed over such a beautiful mission to him.

And Shi Tingzhu on the side looked a little serious.

It seemed to him that the atmosphere on the eve of the Great War was somewhat strange.

Quiet, so quiet. Why is Texas like a dead city? Have all the people in the city fled?

No matter what, the city will still be attacked.

With the sound of the conch horn, the bannermen began to drive away the captured strong men, ordering them to rush towards the moat with bags of sandbags on their shoulders.

The moat in Texas City is so wide that it's summer, and if you want to cross the river, you have to fill it with sandbags.

Of course, the flag soldiers will not do this work, the process of filling the river is too dangerous, and naturally these captured strong men will be in front.

When the Qing army set out from Beijing, there were 20,000 Han Chinese Zhuang men, half of whom died on the road, and the Qing army captured another 5,000 people near Dezhou, and there were about 15,000 Zhuang men who could now be driven by them to fill the river.

Kyaw Lo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu had a rough assignment of tasks.

Jueluo Bahana led 2,000 Manchurian Zhenglan Banner soldiers to attack the north gate, and sent 500 armor soldiers to feint to attack the east gate. Shi Tingzhu led 2,000 Han troops with red flag armor to attack the west gate, and at the same time sent 500 armor soldiers to feint to attack the south gate.

As for the strong men who serve as cannon fodder, they are probably distributed according to this ratio.

Chen Shuncai's luck was good, and he was assigned to the queue to attack the West Gate.

Simon is the main direction of attack, which means that he can enter the city and loot as soon as possible.

According to Chen Shuncai's previous experience, after breaking the city, he must rush to the front. The faster you rush, the more you grab. If they are assigned to the side of the feint, most of them will have to wait until the other armor soldiers open the city gate from the city before they can enter the city, and they can only share some scraps.

Master Shi said that the current Dezhou City is extremely empty, and everyone only needs one round of charging to take the city head and control the entire Dezhou City.

In this case, Chen Shuncai didn't want to be left behind, so he let his companions rob all the gold and silver treasures.

"Quick, don't be lazy, throw the sandbags into the moat! Move it again as soon as you finish throwing it, and move quickly! ”

Chen Shuncai didn't have a good face for these captured strong men.

Perhaps he had compassion for these Han people during the march, but now that he was besieging the city, he would never show any sympathy.

War is bound to kill people, as long as the one who dies is not himself, what is there to care?

Whoosh!

A Han man moved a little slower, and Chen Shuncai threw down the whip on his head.

A blood-red whip mark suddenly bloomed on the spine of the strong man, and he almost fell.

"If you're lazy, be careful that Lao Tzu chops you with a knife!"

Chen Shuncai spat out a mouthful of phlegm viciously and threatened.

The sooner the moat was filled, the sooner they could attack the city, otherwise a few thousand bannermen would have to stare dryly on the other side of the moat.

"Quick, faster!"

Chen Shuncai kept waving the whip, and there was an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Originally, when he was a coated minion, he was not less whipped, and when he received more whips, he knew when the master would be angry.

Gradually, Chen Shuncai learned to think about his master's mind and did his best to please them.

As a result, Chen Shuncai received fewer and fewer whips, although he occasionally received a few whips, which was also a reminder of his duty to be a slave, wasn't it?

Isn't it precisely because of his conscientiousness and loyalty as a slave that he was carried the flag by his master and became a Han army bannerman?

Look at the gang of idiots in front of you, one by one, they are stealing and slick and refuse to work hard, aren't they looking for a pump!

Those strong men who were driven by the whip carried sandbags and rushed desperately towards the moat, silently chanting the blessing of the Bodhisattva and the protection of the Buddha.

However, the Buddha and Bodhisattva they asked for did not seem to have manifested themselves, and after they entered the range of the bow and arrows, a rain of arrows fell from the city.

Despite their best efforts to protect their cheeks with sandbags, arrows still hit them in the vital spots.

These strong men don't have armor on their bodies, not to mention a single piece of clothing, so ordinary carved arrows can cause great damage to them.

Many strong men were shot before they could reach the edge of the moat, and fell down like mud. Some of the strong men rushed to the river by luck, threw the sandbags in their hands into the river and ran back desperately.

It's just that most of them were crucified by chasing arrows before they could run a few steps.

The strong men who fled back were forced by the banner soldiers to carry another bag of sand and repeat the previous task.

Chen Shuncai was slightly stunned when he saw this. The defenders at the head of the city seemed to have plenty of arrows, and they had no intention of collecting and shooting at all.

But this is also normal, after all, Texas is a big city, and it is the northwest gate of Shandong, and the arsenal in the city must be very full.

But so what?

They relied on the fortified city to resist for a while, and when the strong men filled the moat, the bannermen could easily attack the city and take Texas.

It's just that the rain of arrows shot at the head of the city has no intention of stopping, and the proportion of strong men killed and injured is too high, and many of them are afraid, and some even turn around and run back.

Chen Shuncai couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this.

It would be terrible if these strong men were allowed to break up the ranks of the armor soldiers.

He took a deep breath and pulled out his waist knife and scolded: "Don't run away, don't run away." Death to those who retreat! ”

Most of the rest of the Han army's red-flag armored soldiers also drew their swords like Chen Shuncai, and if these strong men didn't stop at all, they would be slaughtered with knives.
