"Kill the past, if you want to live, kill the Ming army and recapture the city gate!"

Guan Xiaozhong, who only carried a knife in his hand, shouted at the Eight Banners soldiers beside him, they finally rushed through the huge pit, but several stone walls on this side blocked the way, and finally killed a wall, waiting for them was the lead from the Hongyi cannon, as well as the earth-shattering thunder thrown by these Ming troops.

Compared with the explosion of earth-shattering thunder like raindrops, the real horror is probably the Hongyi cannon, when the cannon hits, hundreds of lead scattered, which can beat people into a sieve, and it is even more common to break arms and legs.

But even so, Guan Xiaozhong still kept pushing the soldiers around him to abandon their horses and kill them, and reminded them again and again that their families were all in the city, and if they couldn't recover Tongjimen, they would all have to die at that time.

"Is the Gunner here?"

Guan Xiaozhong shouted loudly behind him, because of the hurry to come out, he didn't have time to rush to Qi Qi, and he didn't even bring a bow and arrows, if it weren't for this, how could he be beaten like now.

Compared with bows and arrows, the bird gun may be more effective at this time, and the bird gun is more powerful and accurate.

"Here comes the gunner, here comes the gunner......"

The arrival of the rows of gunners immediately changed the offensive situation, although the gunners of the loyal army behind the stone fortress still kept returning fire with shotguns, but the Qing army bird gunners who had captured the stone fortress soldiers lined up to shoot this way. The loyal army behind the stone wall had just poked their heads out, and with a dense row of bullets coming, a few people fell to the ground without having time to snort.

Zhu Mingzhong had already pounced under a wall, and by his side was Wang Dahu, waiting for more than a dozen guards. In the "bang" of gunfire and the sound of artillery from time to time, everyone under the wall was even more nervous, and for a while the battlefield seemed to be stalemate, both sides were fighting there according to the wall, and no one was willing to take a step back!

Compared with the defense of the loyal army, the Qing army was attacking, and when the bird gunners suppressed the counterattack of the loyal army, a group of Qing soldiers with swords and armor immediately pounced.

"Grenades!"

As soon as a grenade was thrown out here, one of the probe's soldiers was shot down by the bird's gun, and the others were hiding behind the battlement, at this moment, several Qing soldiers rushed over, just climbed over the stone wall, and then swung their knives and slashed at the gunners who were handling the artillery. When the nearby loyal and righteous troops counterattacked, more Qing troops on this side climbed over the wall!

"Put on the solid bullet and blast through that wall......"

Seeing that another stone wall was about to be captured, Zhu Mingzhong shouted at the gunners beside him.

At this time, he still has the kung fu to take care of his own soldiers in front of him, and the most important thing now is to guard this city gate!

When a cannon rang in his ears, Zhu Mingzhong only felt a burst of tinnitus, and then he couldn't hear anything, in the smoke of the cannon's muzzle, a cannonball weighing 5 catties flew towards the stone wall, and the cannonball easily tore apart the body of the soldier in front of it, whether it was the Qing army or the loyal army, as long as anyone tried to stop him, he would end up with a hole in his chest torn open. In the end, the cannonball slammed into the stone wall, and the stone wall that was temporarily paved with paving stones might be able to block the bullets, but the moment it was "smashed" by the cannonball, it immediately collapsed, and the Qing gunners behind the wall were immediately exposed, and their team was suddenly in chaos, and the gunfire stopped.

"Grenades, grenades, all thrown over and blown up fiercely......"

Under Zhu Mingzhong's order, hundreds of grenades were thrown out of the hands of the soldiers and thrown towards the attacking Qing army and those firecrackers, and in an instant, they were swallowed up by a puff of smoke in the violent explosion. The smoke was filled with screams, and despite their armor, they couldn't stop the fragments of the grenade.

"Grenades, grenades, ......"

"The military gate, the grenades are all used up......"

The shouts of the soldiers made Zhu Mingzhong's heart tighten, and the grenade was gone!

What to do!

"Powder Box, Powder Box......"

Although Zhu Mingzhong shouted loudly, he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying because of the ringing in his ears, and he didn't stop shouting loudly until they threw out the powder box.

Several gunpowder boxes were thrown over one after another, and the five-pound gunpowder boxes were not thrown far, but the powerful ordinary grenades, in the smoke of the violent explosion, a few severed corpses could be vaguely seen, which were blown up into the sky, and even a section of intestines fell directly on the stone wall in front of Zhu Mingzhong.

It was at this time that the tinnitus that continued to ring after the explosion seemed to return to normal, allowing the sound from outside to reach the ears, and the heaven and earth that were like silent silent movies just now were suddenly filled with all kinds of sounds.

The explosion of the grenade was more of a scream, which was a strange scream that seemed to be stretched out from his side and from the front, and of course, the roar that changed his voice, the anger of the Qing army undoubtedly showed how much of an accident their surprise attack brought to the Qing army defending the city.

Even now, after the tearing lasted for half an hour, for the Qing army in the city, they knew nothing except that the city gate was fraudulently opened, and in the face of the sudden fall of Tongji Gate, all kinds of horns and drums in the city were beating chaotically, and these sounds were mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish what kind of sound conveyed what signal, and even made people feel that those people were just desperately beating the leather drum and blowing the horn!

For the Qing army, the attack after the opening of the Jimen was somewhat similar to the special raids of later generations, which was an extremely difficult battle, but in fact, this was exactly what the loyal and righteous army was good at. Compared with the Qing army in the cold weapon era, they were more accustomed to fighting in formation, relying on orders and banners to command in a unified manner. Active raids by infantry were few and far between. And the tactics of the Loyal Army are very simple - grenade + bayonet charge, the emphasis is on a surprise attack, that is, an attack.

And more importantly, the weapon, Zhu Mingzhong's biggest advantage is that although most of the loyal and righteous troops led by him are new recruits, they can easily control the battlefield with the epoch-making explosive weapons such as grenades and gunpowder boxes, and more importantly, now that the way back has been blocked for him, for the officers and soldiers of the loyal and righteous army, they have no other choice than to risk death to raid.

And the chaos brought by the sudden attack to the defenders, the effect is amazing, of course, more importantly, the defenders on the Tongji Gate are very limited, and most of them are women and children with low combat effectiveness, and after seizing the city gate, in the face of reinforcements of the enemy, grenades, explosives boxes to bring the Qing army The shock is unprecedented, the effect of the grenade attack dense formation plus the effect of the bayonet charge is also amazing, almost can be described as unstoppable!

It was with these three axes that Zhu Mingzhong survived, but these three axes are now in trouble, especially in the face of this team of Eight Banners elite, the situation on the battlefield is even more dangerous, even if it barely blocked the attack of the Qing army, but a few stone bases have been lost to only two, and if they retreat further, they will be driven out of the city, now, what should I do?

The grenade is gone!

The powder box is gone!

What to do?

At this moment, the shouts from the city gate made his heart tighten even more.

"Qing reinforcements are coming......"

Reinforcements from the Qing army came......

This voice only made everyone's faces change, and even the soldiers around Zhu Mingzhong involuntarily retreated slightly.

Reinforcements are coming!

But it's not your own, it's the Qing army!

Zhu Mingzhong, who was surrounded by several people, listened to the footsteps in the air, he only felt that the blood was gushing out of his head, and when he looked out, his vision became distorted at this moment. He had already pulled out the knife given by Zheng Chenggong in his hand and clenched it tightly in his hand.

His eyes were fixed on him, and the eyes of his fellow soldiers were on him, and in their gazes, he felt a myriad of voices seem to rush towards him.

"No, no...... Withdraw, withdraw......"

Although he didn't say it, the voice kept echoing in his head. reminded him to preserve his strength.

Looking at the tired soldiers around him, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Big husband, kill the enemy and serve the country in the present dynasty, who is the good son of the Han family, and kill the captives with Zhu......"

Zhu Mingzhong glared angrily ahead, he raised his long knife, opened his voice and shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

A deafening roar echoed at this Tongji Gate.

"Kill!"
