More and more strong men fell in front of the moat, but Kyorobahana was not touched in the slightest.

The greatest use of these captured strong men is to fill in the trenches. Once the moat was filled, their task was complete.

At this moment, part of the river has been filled in with sandbags, but Kyaw Lo Bahana is not in a hurry.

He had to wait for Shi Tingzhu's Han army to launch an attack first with a red flag.

Jueluo Bahana thought so, how could Shi Tingzhu not have his own little abacus?

Whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners, the number of banner soldiers directly determines the status of Gushan Ezhen.

If the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Han army with red flags brought by Shi Tingzhu this time were seriously damaged, then his status in the Eight Banners would also decline.

The strong are respected, this is a principle that all banner people must follow, even the regent is no exception.

To put it mildly, isn't the reason why the regent can sit in the Forbidden City on behalf of the emperor and give orders is because he, the three brothers Duoduo and Azig have the most and strongest bannermen?

Shi Tingzhu is interested in preserving his strength, but it is a pity that he commands the Han army flag, and its importance cannot be compared with the Manchu army flag with strong roots.

Since the strong men who filled in the trenches were almost dead, it was natural that the Han army banner should charge first, so that the losses of the Manchurian bannermen could be minimized.

Of course, Jueluo Bahana would not wait until the Shi Tingzhu Department had completely attacked the city before sending troops to attack the city, as long as the soldiers of the Han army with red flags diverted the attention of the defenders in the west of the city, he would order the warriors of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner to launch a fierce attack on the north gate.

The low conch horn sounded, and the bannermen of the Han army with red flags rushed across the moat with simple ladders and sandbags, and leaned under the city wall.

In the process, they were subjected to heavy fire from the Ming army at the head of the city.

Like locusts, the feather arrows shot down one after another, and the bannermen of the Han army with red flags raised their shields to block them.

Most of the arrows slipped to the ground after parrying, but some of them still hit the arms and thighs of the bannermen.

The armor of the Han army flag is not as good as the Manchu army flag, but it is definitely much better than the strong men without armor.

These stray arrows did not cause fatal injuries to the Qing soldiers, and some brave flag soldiers even pulled out the arrows directly.

Seeing this scene, He Rong, the deputy general at the head of Xicheng City, shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare the rolling wood and stones." How's the gold juice burning? Move all the iron pots to the battlement, and pour them on Lao Tzu as soon as the tartars climb up! ”

As the commander of the former Huai'an Governor's Standard Battalion, He Rong still has a certain ability to command troops. But he had never organized a battle to defend the city before, even if he was only responsible for one side of the wall, so he was a little flustered at the moment.

At the urging of the soldiers of the Governor's Standard Battalion, the villagers moved the rolling logs and stones to the edge of the battlements, and smashed them down as soon as the Lord gave the order.

The arsenal in the city of Dezhou was still very full, so each village soldier was given a set of cotton armor, a waist knife, a spear, and a pair of double inserts.

These weapons and equipment may not be conspicuous in the border army, but for the Huai'an township soldiers who use wooden spears, they are definitely top-notch.

They were both excited and nervous at the moment, and from time to time they poked their heads out of the battlement, wanting to see with their own eyes what the fierce Tartar in General Qin's mouth looked like.

Under the head of the city, the bannermen of the Han army with red flags have set up more than a dozen simple ladders on the city wall of the west city and began to attack the city. At the same time, more than a dozen sturdy Qing soldiers quickly rushed towards the gate of Xicheng with a freshly cut down log.

"What are you doing in a daze, throw the rolling wood and stones!"

Seeing that these villagers were still in a daze, He Rong felt angry.

If the Qing soldiers were to attack the city, it would be extremely tricky. Although there are many township soldiers, they are all new soldiers. As long as the Qing soldiers killed a few dozen people at the head of the city, they could cause great panic. At that time, he led the veterans of the Governor Battalion to suppress the situation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to control the situation.

What He Rong has to do is not let a single Tartar climb to the top of the city!

Although the villagers lacked combat experience, they were better at obeying commands.

They worked in pairs to lift the rolling logs and stones piled up next to the battlements and smashed them at the Qing soldiers who climbed up the ladders.

Burst!

A Han soldier with a red flag was climbing with his head bored, and a stone the size of a millstone fell from the sky and smashed on his chest.

The flag soldier could clearly hear the sound of his ribs breaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Lao Gao, and then his body fell off the ladder with a limp.

Compared to stone, rolling wood is obviously easier to use.

A log fell from the top of the city, sweeping away the three rows of soldiers on the ladder, and they fell down with a wail like scattered green beans.

"Haha, fuck it, smash these Tartars."

The role of rolling wood and stone is obvious, and the first ferocious offensive of the Han army with red flags was suppressed. But He Rong didn't have the slightest excitement, he knew that the Qing army would never be so vulnerable, and there would be a more fierce offensive waiting for them.

Sure enough, after a short rest, the Qing army launched another round of offensive.

At this time, the rolling wood and stones prepared at the head of the city had almost been consumed.

On the one hand, He Rong ordered the villagers to quickly go to the city to carry it, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers under his command to pour the boiled gold juice into the pot.

The so-called gold juice does not refer to the melted state of gold, but to the juice of dung.

When the dung is boiled, it is poured from the city, and whoever is poured it will surely have their skin and flesh blistered.

Due to the many bacteria in the dung, even if the enemy soldiers who were poured on it were not killed immediately, they would definitely die of infection. This is where gold juice is more powerful than boiling oil.

At this moment, the Ming army poured a pot of boiling gold juice down, which undoubtedly dealt a great blow to the Qing soldiers who were attacking the city.

Many Qing soldiers were screaming at the scald, and the yellow and white things were confused, and they were very embarrassed.

However, the amount of gold juice was limited, and after pouring it, the Ming army had to pour boiling oil instead.

A pot of boiling oil was poured down, and in an instant a stabbing sound was heard, followed by the smell of burnt human flesh.

A large number of Qing soldiers who had already climbed to the top of the city were poured and fell straight down.

Shi Tingzhu, who was supervising the battle on a small mound not far away, turned pale when he saw this.

The Qing Dynasty was never good at siege warfare, and it was mainly besieged in Liaodong.

Compared to attacking the city by force, it is a better choice.

As long as they are planted in the city in advance, and let them spread rumors and create panic when the Qing army attacks the city, they can greatly shake the morale of the defending army, and if they can take advantage of the chaos to open a city gate, then the city will be self-defeating.

This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and it is naturally impossible for Shi Tingzhu not to know. But this time they went to Shandong too hastily, and they didn't have time to insert Neiying into Dezhou City. And looking at the closed gates of Texas City, the defenders in the city seem to have been prepared for a long time.

It's a bit of a tough battle.
