Cao Wenzhao was sitting on horseback and was watching the battle from a distance, and the Ming army did not need to give new orders, they had already begun to climb up the ladder.

At the head of the city, Zhou Bin doesn't care what kind of famous general Cao Wenzhao is, on the opposite side of the Heavenly Mandate Army, no matter who it is, there is basically no difference, as long as you fall in love with the bullets of the Heavenly Mandate Army, it is basically a dead end! When he saw the Ming army walking out of the shield wall, he was overjoyed, and at the same time he felt a trace of guilt, the governor of the capital was just wandering around the city for half a circle, and he could predict the actions of the Ming army, but he, the chief officer of the 5,000th household, was helpless......

He let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly.

"My lord, the Ming army has begun to attack the city!"

Zhou Bin glanced at the Ming army who was climbing, his face was happy, and he quickly forgot the unhappiness just now, and he said coldly: "Shoot!" ”

"Bang...... Bang bang ......"

There were not many Ming soldiers who climbed the ladder, but when they left the shield wall, the shields they carried with them could only protect the upper body of the front, and the legs and waists on both sides were completely exposed to the guns of the Heavenly Mandate Army on the side.

Almost at the same time as the gunshots rang out, the Ming army, who had just climbed the ladder, screamed and fell down one by one, because they had just started climbing, and they were not high from the ground, and the fall was not serious, but the gunshot wound was not light.

There are five hundred gunmen on the head of the city, and almost all of them are a general flag staring at each ladder, and most of the Ming soldiers who fell off the ladder are not a bullet hole.

Cao Wenzhao's heart tightened, and he muttered unconsciously: "These thieves, how can these thieves be so sharp with firearms?" ”

"Lord Commander, do you want to withdraw the troops?"

"Withdrawal?" Cao Wenzhao glared at him and said, "The brothers finally approached the city wall, how can they withdraw now?" Order, speed up the attack, and climb to the top of the city as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Cao Wenzhao's military order was quickly conveyed to the battlefield, and the soldiers received the new military order, and without the slightest hesitation, they avoided the corpses of their comrades and rushed up the ladder one by one.

"Bang...... Bang bang ......"

The Mandate of Heaven army has become accustomed to this rhythm, and still unhurriedly launches point fire, as long as the feet of the Ming soldiers are stained with the ladder, they will be attacked immediately, and the soldiers hiding behind the shield wall have absolutely no safety problems.

The battle continued tepidly, Zhou Bin saw that the speed of casualties of the Ming army was already greater than the speed of climbing, and no soldiers could climb the middle of the ladder, he was completely determined, it seemed that the auxiliary gunners of the 600th household that had been prepared did not need to appear this time, if they could annihilate Cao Wenzhao's infantry, the 500th household would have the full credit.

The casualties of the Ming army are getting bigger and bigger, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army are getting more and more excited, and Zhou Bin is admiring the eyes of the metropolitan governor more and more.

But Cao Wenzhao on the other side was not happy in his heart, watching the soldiers fall off the ladder one by one, and then lost their combat effectiveness, he knew that they were all shot, otherwise, at such a low height, the soldiers would turn over and attack again.

What to do? Is it really necessary to withdraw troops?

If it means that the army can't defeat Guguancheng, Cao Wenzhao doesn't believe it at all, which time did he face the team of thieves and make them flee in despair? Even in the face of ten times the enemy, he has never lost, and Ning Tie rode out in front of him, which time was not to capture the flag?

Cao Wenzhao really can't remember how many thieves he has killed, although he only has 3,000 soldiers, but every time he kills thieves, it will far exceed this number, if you add the old and weak, women and children, there are three times and five times.

Although some people slandered him for killing good people, Cao Wenzhao himself knew that every time his subordinates killed them, they were real thieves, and there were absolutely no good people!

The only thing he didn't know was why there were so many thieves in Shaanxi. When will we be the first to destroy these thieves?

Now, under this solid pass, the Ming army seems to have been transferred with the thieves, but the thieves did not have many casualties, it is very likely that there were no casualties, and the dead were all Ming troops!

What's going on here?

Cao Wenzhao asked himself, but there would be no answer to this question for a while, and he didn't bother to continue to explore, looking at the continuous casualties under the city wall, he hesitated for the first time: Can the Ming army really win the battle of Guguan?

The only thing that made him a little confident was that the thieves at the head of the city had no reinforcements, and they had always been like hundreds of people, could hundreds of thieves defeat two thousand Ming troops?

Before today, Cao Wen would have scoffed at it, but today, I'm afraid...... Buddha bless, the Heavenly Mandate Army on the head of the city, it is better to have no bullets, or after a long battle, there has been no rest, they will fall from the city wall and become the souls of the Ming army one by one!

Cao Wenzhao's prayer, the Buddha did not hear, or the Buddha did not stand on the side of the Ming army at all, everything was just Cao Wenzhao's self-inflicted sentiment!

Under the ladder of the Ming army, a large number of corpses have been accumulated, and if the soldiers want to climb the ladder again, they have to climb over the pile of corpses first, which not only increases the time for climbing, but also exposes the back, buttocks, etc. to the nose of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the front-line commander had to summon dozens of soldiers and ask them to clean up and remove the bodies first.

The corpses are bleeding, they are all casualties not long ago, the body temperature is still there, it is difficult to distinguish between the wounded soldiers and the dead soldiers, however, for the Ming army, they are no different now, even if they are wounded soldiers, they can not participate in the battle for the time being, they can only be thrown aside, and after the battle, if there is still qi, then they will be treated.

There is finally no obstacle at the foot of the ladder, but the Ming army wants to climb the ladder, it is still very inconvenient, although the corpse is removed, but the ground is full of blood, slimy, walking on it, if you are not careful, you may slide.

There was no way, the front-line commander asked the soldiers to bring back a few corpses, spread them on the ground, cover them with blood, and the soldiers stepped on the corpses before they could climb the ladder freely.

People are dead, it should be their honor to be able to do something for their brothers, the only thing that makes his commander unhappy is that when transporting the corpses just now, the soldiers were forced to leave the shield wall, and dozens of people were shot and killed by the Mandate of Heaven.

"Ma Qiao, once you go to the city, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you alive!" The commander cursed, then urged the soldiers to continue the attack.

At the foot of the ladder, there is a huge meat grinder, no matter how many Ming troops, as long as they get on the ladder, they will immediately become the target of the Heavenly Mandate Army, without exception.

Zhou Bin saw that some of his brothers had relented, so he followed Li Zicheng's example and encouraged them: "Brothers, aim and shoot, more than half of the casualties of the Ming army have been killed, and when the Ming army is completely annihilated, I will personally ask for merit for you from the Metropolitan Governor, reward silver, promotion, and monthly ticket for military merit, there will be no less!" ”

"Brothers, aim and shoot, wait for the adults to ask for credit for us!" The officials of the hundred households and the chief flag officer immediately conveyed Zhou Bin's words to the whole army, and the small flag officers had no time, and they were holding up and shooting like the soldiers.

The soldiers are not much interested in promotion, although there is no shortage of soldiers who have been promoted from soldiers to small flag officers, or even chief flag officers, but today is a tailwind battle, and there are not many casualties on their side so far, unlike the battle of Triangle City that day, such a battle, there will be a large number of soldiers who have been promoted because of military merits.

What they are generally interested in is the silver reward and the monthly ticket for war exploits.

With the reward, you can accumulate it and keep it for marrying your mother-in-law in the future, so that you can pass it on to the next generation; And the monthly ticket is the most desirable thing, the Mandate of Heaven Army has established fruit buildings in many places, and I heard that there are many blue-eyed Salar women, I don't know if I can have a chance......

Because they still have to fight, the soldiers don't have time to communicate the joy and yearning in their hearts, but their hearts have already fluctuated subtly.

The aim of the Xining rifle has a lot to do with the user's heart, once there is a fluctuation in the heart, the aim will be reduced, and in this moment, the Ming army climbed to the middle of the ladder for the first time, and it is still advancing.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhou Bin asked the auxiliaries to prepare for the enemy, and shouted: "Rabbit cubs, what's wrong with you?" If you let the Ming army come up, your bounty and monthly ticket will be gone! ”

The soldiers gradually stabilized their momentum under the shouts of Zhou Bin and the hundred household officials, yes, if you can't annihilate the Ming army, then what credit is there to talk about? They temporarily threw away too many ideas and threw themselves into the battle entirely.

After such a period of twists and turns, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army have completely devoted their minds to the battle, not only suppressing the Ming army again at the root of the ladder, but even the softness just now is gone.

Zhou Bin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and secretly said that it was dangerous, if the Ming army was allowed to rush to the city, whether these auxiliaries could block the Ming army in hand-to-hand combat, he was really not sure, and it was likely that the reserves of the five hundred households would be used at that time.

Didn't the Metropolitan Governor cheer up his brothers at a critical moment? Why didn't the question arise just now? It seems that we will have to learn more from the Metropolitan Governor in the future!

Cao Wenzhao, who was opposite the head of the city, just saw that the Ming army had climbed to the middle and upper part of the ladder, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He has clenched his fists, and he can't wait to rush forward in person, the first to kill the city, today's victory, he has waited too long!

But as the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army stabilized their minds, the Ming army was once again suppressed at the foot of the cloud ladder, and Cao Wenzhao suddenly sighed: "Alas, ......" The disappointment was beyond words.

But he quickly reacted, since the brothers could climb the ladder under the nose of the Mandate Army, what ...... Isn't there a chance to climb to the top of the city?

The opportunity is right now, and if you miss it this time, it may never be you!

The Ming army has already paid a heavy price, is there a way back in this battle?

Cao Wenzhao looked at the Ming army that had been suppressed, and there was almost fire in his eyes, he had decided: don't do it, don't stop it! He called the herald beside him and whispered a few words.

The herald immediately ran to the city, shouting as he ran: "Your Excellency has an order, once you attack the city and occupy Guguan, your Excellency will let you slaughter the city for three days......"
