Hearing these screams, the musketeers who were blocking the gates of the city burst out laughing, reloaded their muskets, and were about to rush in.

Xu Jingchang immediately shouted loudly: "Slow! But he was too late to shout, and the six soldiers had already entered through the slightly open opening between the two gates. Originally, there was another person who wanted to walk in with them, but after hearing Xu Jingchang's words, he hesitated and stopped.

As the six men walked in, there was a "whooshing" sound inside the city gate, and all of them were unable to dodge being shot by the arrows. Because the Annanites expected that many Ming troops would rush in, they had just shot more than a hundred arrows, and each of these six people had been hit by a dozen arrows, and one of them fell at the city gate, and one arrow hit his lungs and many places on his body, and he cried "Wow Wow" while shouting "Mother".

The man who had just stopped immediately shouted, "Expensive! He ran over, dragged him out with all his might, and shouted, "Doctor! ”

"Don't shout, there are no doctors for the people who landed this time, all the doctors are on board." Xu Jingchang said: "And his lungs were pierced, even if a doctor is there, he can't save him." ”

"But," the man said with a crying voice: "Liu Degui is only seventeen years old this year, and he just met the conditions for joining the army last year, but now he wants to die on the battlefield." ”

Xu Jingchang squatted sideways and looked at the soldiers who were lying on the ground and moaning. Although his face was oily at this time, if you look closely, you can still see that he is not very old, and his face is still very young.

He straightened up again to look at the soldier who was sobbing in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Sanzhou, you are on the battlefield for the first time, and you must remember in the future that this is the normal state of the battlefield." Don't cry when you see your friend die in battle, just remember to avenge your friend later. I allow you to kill all the Annam soldiers in the city gates. ”

"I must avenge Degui and kill the person who shot him!" Li Sanzhou wiped his tears and said through gritted teeth.

While the two of them were talking, there was constant movement at the gates. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to rush in at this time, but they would not let the Annan people close the city gate or rush out, and throw a few grenades into it whenever the city gate sounded. But the Ming army did not rush inside, and the two sides formed a strange balance around the city gate.

Seeing this, Xu Jingchang shouted loudly: "Quick, follow me to the woods next to me and cut down a few trees!" If the siege equipment can't be transported, let's build it ourselves! He instructed one of the commanders of the Yulin Left Guard to take his command, and he rushed to the woods with dozens of soldiers.

In fact, according to common sense, Xu Jingchang himself is just commanding the servants and serving as a thousand households, and the official position is above the command Tongzhi, at this time Sang Jing is busy commanding other thousand households, and he should have commanded Tongzhi to be responsible for commanding these soldiers in the city gate. But Xu Jingchang was always in command just now, and no one felt wrong.

Just when Xu Jingchang led his thousand households to besiege the city gate, the Ming army in other places was not idle. Sang Jing gathered four thousand households of Yulin Zuowei, arranged them in the eastern, central, and western directions of the northern city, and divided them into three sections to fire projectiles at the head of the city. Because the musket could not be thrown, the range was not as good as that of the bow and arrow when shooting at the city wall, but because of its strong penetrating power, the projectiles hitting the city head kept splashing flying stones, and from time to time there were Annam soldiers guarding the city head who were shot by flying stones, even if they were not injured, they were more careful not to get too close to the city head.

The Ming army, who was climbing the ladder, also untied the grenade on his waist and threw it towards the city. The grenades they throw are not mainly anti-lelic, but mainly for various auxiliary functions. Smoke grenades, which had been effective in capturing the wizards of Majapahit, were now being thrown at the city, and other types of grenades were also exploding on the city.

The Annan soldiers continued to shoot arrows at the city and the ladder, and the people who operated the cannons also used the cannons all the time, firing scattered bullets at the city as fast as possible. Although the Ming army had muskets to help, it was still inferior to artillery, and every time there was a rain of arrows or stones, the Ming army was knocked to the ground in pieces.

But at this time, the Ming army was also ruthless, and they must capture the city of Duobang, and they still rushed to the city of Duobang with a roar, climbing up with their hands and feet.

Soon, some soldiers climbed up the ladder to the top of the city. Although the first soldier who climbed to the top of the city was immediately hacked to death by the Annamite, more and more people climbed up, and some musketeers also climbed up, and after firing the projectile, they used the musket as an iron rod and brandished it to fight the Annamite. There were also some musketeers who lit grenades on their bodies before they were slashed several times and were about to choke, and died with the Annam soldiers! All this made the Annan soldiers more and more confused.

As more and more Ming troops ascended to the top of the city, gaps appeared everywhere. A thousand households jumped up to the city, stabbed him down with a single sword that cut off the spear of an Annam soldier, and then turned and cut down another man who pounced on him. The two Annamite men with spears actually retreated one after another under the momentum of his slashing and slashing.

Gradually, there were more and more Ming soldiers behind him, and Qianhu's courage became stronger, and he rushed a few steps to force the Annan soldiers who had been defeated to retreat, and pulled out the national flag from his back, stretched out his hand, and inserted it into the flag hole. At the same time, the morale of the Ming army above and below the city was greatly boosted, and they let out a fierce howl, and rushed here forgetting their lives; And the courage of the Annan soldiers became more and more low, and some even dropped their weapons and turned to run.

When Zhen Weitong saw this, his forehead immediately sweated. Compared with defending the city, his more important duty was to protect these cannons from being taken by the Ming army. He immediately ordered a cannon to be dropped and shotshots fired, while the rest of the cannons were carried by the artillery onto the gun carriage and were to be carried down the ramp down the ramp.

The Ming army, which had already reached the top of the city, saw that the artillery team was about to run, and immediately howled and rushed over, but was stopped by the Annan soldiers who were still resisting. If they had surrendered in normal times, but when Zhang Fu and other generals shouted "loot for three days" and "kill all" just now, they heard them, and some of them knew a little Chinese, and they were all natives of Duobang City, and they had to block the Ming army to the death in order to keep their property. Because of their obstruction, Zhen Weitong was allowed to withdraw from the city with a cannon.

But as the artillery fled, the firepower to suppress the Ming army under the city decreased, and more and more Ming troops climbed to the top of the city, even if they were resolute in their will to fight, they could not stop it. Sang Jing, who was commanding at the head of the city, couldn't help but smile on his face.

But suddenly, countless Annan soldiers rushed up from the road, and they howled and rushed towards the Ming army. It turned out that although Zhen Weitong was more concerned about the artillery team, he did not forget the defense of Beicheng, and sent people to inform Ruan Renlie that the head of Beicheng was about to be unable to hold it.

Nguyen Nh Lie was originally commanding his soldiers to fight against the Minh An coalition led by Chang Ji Zong. Chang Jizong was not disappointed after the failure of the strategy, and immediately began to command the soldiers to attack. Chang Jizong used the archers to shoot continuously at the end, the musketeers divided into three horizontal shots in the middle, and the other soldiers collected all the items they could collect that could block the bow and arrows, and used these things to move forward. Ruan Renlie was a little unstoppable, so he had to call another army to help defend it.

He was a little surprised when he heard the message sent by Zhen Weitong: the Ming army in the north rushed up with full morale when they saw that the fire was gradually extinguished, and they were about to capture the head of Beicheng.

Nguyen Renlie gritted his teeth and loudly ordered the heralds to transfer all the troops who were maintaining order in the city to the head of the northern city, and at the same time ordered the rest of the troops who were not allowed to leave the camp to go out of the camp to fight. He didn't trust these armies at first, and suspected that there were people lurking among them, but he didn't care about that at this time. If the head of the northern city is captured, the city of Duobang will be lost.

The troops who were allowed to operate in the city before were all more trusted, and they were also more loyal to the Hu family's father and son, and the morale of the Ming army was also relatively high, so they immediately howled and rushed over after coming to the head of Beicheng.

The remnants of the Annan people saw the arrival of reinforcements, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while, while the morale of the Ming army fell a little, and the strength of the fighting at this time was not short, and they were pressed back for a while.

Chen Yuan, who was appointed by Ruan Renlie to command them, stood at the back of the battle line, looking at the battlefield in front of him, and made some commands from time to time. He looked at the two sides that had become evenly matched at this time, and shouted: "The soldiers of Dayu hold on!" There were only so many Ming troops on the opposite side, as long as they were driven off the city, it would be impossible for the Ming army to take the city of Duobang. The Ming army will inevitably be slaughtered for three days after capturing the city of Duobang, in order for your gold and silver wealth to be saved, and your wives and children can survive, you must fight bravely! ”

With his words, the morale of the Annan soldiers rose again, and they fought more fiercely.

Zhang Fu had already gone to the city at this time, and there was nothing he could do to see such a scene, so he could only be secretly anxious. If you can clear the field with a grenade when you just rush up, at this time the two sides are strangled together, even the bow and arrow are not very useful, and the musket is used as a hand-to-hand weapon by a considerable number of people, and the barrel of the gun is deformed. Zhang Fu picked up a gun and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the guards and Sang Jing.

But suddenly, Zhang Fu saw that some of the Annan soldiers who were behind turned around and withdrew from the battlefield and ran down the road, and the supervising team with the ghost-headed broadsword next to Chen Yuan also stopped them.

Zhang Fu's eyes widened and said, "This is, a soldier entered the city from other places?" ”

"My lord, most of it was Xu Jingchang's troops who attacked the city! I saw them storming the gates just now, and they should have entered by now. Sang Jing said.

"No matter who makes it into the city, it's a good opportunity at this time!"
