Michelle, the artillery commander on one side, also shouted: "Don't stop the gunner's artillery, shoot at the rear of the enemy with shotshots to prevent reinforcements from approaching!" ”

Boom

Countless projectiles flew out, harvesting life in large quantities like the scythe of death

"Musketeers, fire at those Tartar officers, five men aim at one, shoot me hard, shoot one, and reward twenty taels of silver!" Song Youliang shouted

"Roar!" The mixed musketeers of the Haiyang Guard began to work in groups of five, aiming their rifles at the officer-like Qing soldiers

呯呯~~呯呯

A company of four or five Niu Lu Ezhen was killed by muskets, and the ordinary soldiers of the Qing army lost their commanders, which immediately caused a riot, and the situation in Ximen was alleviated to a certain extent

At this moment, Pan Yuzhu's fortress had been attacked by the Qing army, and the situation was critical, so Song Youliang immediately sent Xu Erduo to lead the Xu Zi battalion to reinforcements

At the north gate, the buried thunder was still difficult to resist the footsteps of the Qing soldiers who were not afraid of death, and even when they saw their companions being blown off their legs or blown up in the air, the Qing soldiers still shouted "Hurry up!" "Go forward like ants

"What kind of flying thunder cannon, hurry up and fire the cannon!" Feng Guan yelled

呠~呠~呠

Several cotton bales flew out of the wall and landed at the feet of the Qing soldiers who were digging a hundred steps

Boom ~ Boom

The powerful medicine bag exploded, and all the Qing soldiers within fifty meters were spared, and the complete and incomplete corpses flew everywhere like fragments of clay pots smashed to the north, and the flying thunder cannons smashed out one hole after another in the Qing army's front, but in the blink of an eye, they were filled by the Qing soldiers who came up, and rushed to the city one after another like the raging waves of the sea

"Hurry up that ——!" The shouts of the Qing soldiers also rose higher and higher

Seeing that the situation was critical, Feng Guan dropped the Yanling knife in his hand, and couldn't wait for the flying thunder cannon to fire again, so he grabbed a thirty-pound explosive bag and threw it directly at the city, and then said to the archers beside him: "The rocket shoots at that medicine bag~"

"Deling~" the archer shot an arrow

Boom~ The kit was detonated by a rocket

Dozens of nearby Qing soldiers were bombed into the sky again

"Wow yes~" The stone that had always been timid became fierce like a tiger at this moment, and an iron head just showed his head on the wall battlement, and the stone was slashed with a knife. The knife missed and failed to hit the iron head, but chopped off three of his fingers. The iron leader screamed, fell down the ladder on his back, and smashed down two Qing soldiers by the way

"Stone, good look~" Liu Shenggang, the small leader of the militia, used a spear to force a Qing soldier who climbed up to the head of the city to go down to the city, and when he saw that the stone cut down an iron leader with a knife, he praised loudly.

"Watch the back!" Shi Shi shouted loudly, saying that it was too late, and then quickly, a Qing soldier suddenly jumped over the wall, and the Jurchen sword in his hand stabbed viciously into Liu Sheng's back

Poof~ A mouthful of hot blood spurted out of Liu Sheng's mouth, "Ah~~~~" Liu Sheng shouted violently, holding the sword head exposed on his chest and not letting go, "Stone!" Liu Sheng shouted loudly with his last breath

"Uncle Liu!" Stone screamed and tried to kill the Tartars before they could draw their weapons

"Dead Nanban~" The Qing soldier simply let go, gave up his big sword, picked up Liu Sheng's spear from the ground and stabbed it at the stone

"Kill!" The stone's eyes were red, and he met it straight

"Look for death!" When the Qing soldier saw that the spear in his hand was about to pierce the stone, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, as if he had tripped over something, and when he looked down, it turned out to be Liu Sheng's hand that grabbed his left foot

In this stunned effort, the steel knife full of revenge and anger of the stone had already arrived in front of him, and the Qing soldier couldn't dodge, and with a loud bang, a head with long braids fell to the ground

At the north gate, Ge Zhu had already hacked eight Houjin soldiers to death under his knife, and his body had already been stained red with blood, both enemy blood and his own. Suddenly, there was a huge pain in his right arm, and it turned out that a Qing soldier took advantage of his unpreparedness and slashed him on the right shoulder. The pain in the heart made Ge Tuo almost fall to his knees in pain, Ge Tuo Tiger roared, slammed it, and arched the Qing soldier over, according to the Qing soldier's lower abdomen.

At this time, two more Qing soldiers turned over the battlements, and when they saw that Ge Zhu was injured, they smiled and raised their knives to cut, but they suddenly heard two whistling sounds, and two spears roared, stabbing the two Qing soldiers to the heart. "Rest and hurt my lord~~" I saw that ten steps away, Ge Fu swooped down like a winged tiger descending the mountain, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers who had just crossed the wall immediately became ghosts under the knife, and then, more Ge Bottle's family members rushed over to protect Ge Bottle, and beat the Qing soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city again

Due to the complex topography of the south gate, the Qing army did not have many troops here, so the defenders of the city were Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy of Shandong Zuobu, Deng Qian, the political envoy of Shandong, Han Chengxuan, the magistrate of Licheng, and Zhou Zhixun, the deputy envoy of the inspection department

"The Tartars are up!"

Zhang Bingwen waited to take a look, and many Tartar soldiers appeared under the city walls! One, two, three...... There are dozens of them

"Fight!" Zhang Bingwen stomped his foot, pulled out his sword, shouted and pounced.

"Repay the country with death!" Deng Qian, Han Chengxuan, and Zhou Zhixun followed and pounced with a loud shout.

"Kill!" The soldiers of Jinan Prefecture who were defending the city rushed over one by one.

"Kill the Tartars!" The militiamen also pounced.

A fierce hand-to-hand battle began again, and then Song Xuezhu, who came over, came to the city with a big banner with clear characters in his hand and ran back and forth, "Daming athletes, for the fathers and elders of Jinan, for their wives and children, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, kill the Tartars!" Wherever he shouted, the resistance became more and more violent, stimulating the Ming soldiers like a stimulant

Zhou Zhixun had just stabbed down a Tartar soldier who came out of the mouth of the city wall, and when he turned around, he saw a wounded soldier tearing up with two enemy soldiers, and the soldier's face and body were covered with blood, although the injury was not light, but he was not afraid.

But one person is difficult to defeat two Hans, when Zhou Zhixun rushed over, the soldier was slashed in the chest by the enemy soldier again, only to see him try his best to pull a short spear in his hand into the chest of the enemy soldier, but the enemy soldier behind him raised his knife and slashed at him

"Come with your life~" Zhou Zhixun, who was originally a scholar, was also red-eyed at the moment, and with a desperate breath, he stabbed the sneak attack Qing soldiers to death with a sword, but the soldier shook it twice and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zhou Zhixun hurriedly stepped forward to hug the little soldier and shouted loudly: "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" ”

The dying soldier finally opened his eyes, glanced at Zhou Zhixun, and said with great difficulty: "My lord, I tried my best~ I!" Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and lost his breath

"How can this be?" Yue Tuo shook his head in disbelief, since Ning Yuan, which Yuan Chonghuan presided over, after Yuan Chonghuan's death, Yue Tuo had never encountered such a stubborn resistance in the city. The scouts kept reporting on the military intelligence report again and again, and none of them made him smile, especially since he had already sent the main force of the "Iron Head Army" to it, although there was a breakthrough, but in the end the Ming army was defeated. He was not reconciled, gritted his teeth and sent all the Baraya and the Iron Head Army to it

On the battlefield, Bamitai brandished a horsewhip in one hand and a war knife in the other, and kept shouting in a hoarse voice: "Baturus~~ Hurry up that-wow!" Hurry up that—wow! ”

And Najanilgua is instructing the soldiers on the left and right: "Go, you all go and supervise the battle!" Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed! ”

As soon as the news spread that the flag owner had arrived on the battlefield and was watching the battle behind him, the children of the banner with the red flag who were advancing were all greatly encouraged. Even if you die, you will die a glorious death—

"Wow!" Yue Tuo shouted loudly; "Ahem~" But then he coughed, and a group of soldiers immediately brought a blanket and wrapped it around Yue Tuo's neck

Yue Tuo looked down and saw that this blanket was finely woven and was a high-quality product, "Where did you come from?" ”

The soldier replied: "It's those Aha brought back~"

"I see!" Yue Tuo grabbed the blanket tightly

The Eight Banners Brigade was brave and tenacious, going forward one after another, once again facing the arrows of the Ming army at the head of the city, shouting and rushing towards the city of Jinan...... Those who fell fell, those who were alive still rushed forward, and those who were wounded rose again and continued to move in the direction of the walls, and none of them retreated—the forces of the siege were many times stronger than they had ever been. Rushing ahead were still the "ironclad cars" and "iron heads", some of whom had already crossed the trenches, and some of whom had begun to dig and hit the walls again.

The first city wall to loosen was the south gate, Zhang Bingwen with the power of a scholar, commanded the soldiers and militia to constantly move stones and rolling wood to smash under the city, and even the Jinshan stone at the gate of the governor's yamen to make steps was moved, "Smash it for me!" Zhang Bingwen gave an order, and a few hundred catties of Jinshan stone smashed an iron locomotive to the ground. But the iron boss hiding in the ironclad car had already dug into the city wall and was not harmed.

"How's that good?" Zhang Bingwen was in a hurry, but he was at a loss

"My lord, there is a way for the small one~" A militiaman said: "The small one is a lacquer maker, his home is nearby, and there are a lot of tree lacquer stored in the house, this thing is easy to catch fire, and it can flow, even if he is wearing iron armor, it can flow through the cracks~"

Zhang Bingwen was overjoyed and said: "Get it quickly, if you and I don't die, Lord Ben will definitely repay you a great achievement!" ”

"Obey~" The militia beckoned a few companions to run down the city, to get the tree paint, and returned to the city in a moment, each holding a large jar on his chest, "Brothers, fall down~~"

It was said that it was poured, but as soon as the hands of the people let go, the whole jar of lacquer was smashed down, and the pungent smell of the lacquer flowed to the ground, and the militia took a torch and went down to the city

Whew~~ The fire immediately engulfed all the ironclad cars, and began to spread on a large scale with the flow of tree paint, where the tree paint flowed, the fire and the pungent smell went

"Ah~~Ah!" Burning men covered in fire rushed out from the foot of the city wall, screaming and running back with their teeth and claws, looking for their companions for help, but the result was that the armor on the faces of more Qing soldiers was ignited. The pungent smell of burning tree paint and the stench of burnt human flesh permeated the south gate

Seeing this, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they concocted the same method, using lamp oil, grease and other materials to set the fire on fire, burning the iron-headed army to the ground

This time, Yue Tuo risked his blood and did not order the withdrawal of troops despite the heavy casualties of the Qing army. Instead, he moved his banner a hundred steps forward.

None of this escaped the telescope in the hands of the artillery commander Michel, who immediately reported the situation to Song Youliang, "Your Excellency, another barbarian officer has entered the cannon range!" Do you want to open fire? ”
