The Ming army tossed outside the city for more than ten days in a row, Azig has become accustomed to it, and in the first few days, he continued to send people to Huang Taiji for help, asking for a certain number of artillery supports, and after requesting, the Jin Tieqi launched a harassing attack on the flank of the Ming army......

But now he basically didn't react at all, every day he mechanically patrolled around the city wall, once the Ming army began to shell, he hid in the city gate tower, and went with the Ming army to toss. He is even in the mood to read books these days, and he watches "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with the sound of cannons, which feels really good!

In the early morning of this day, Azig appeared on the city wall on time, looking at the straight Houjin soldiers standing with huge shields, he nodded symbolically, as for the neat Mongolian soldiers sitting against the female wall, he didn't bother to reprimand, as they said, what if you scold them, you have to sit back later!

At this time, the Ming army below was ready to load the shells again, and he said lightly: "Pay attention to concealment." Then Shi Shiran walked towards the city gate.

When he sat down and took the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand, the "boom, boom" Ming army's artillery roar sounded on time. After reading one page, "boom, boom, boom" was another burst of artillery, and another page of "boom boom" was still a burst of artillery.

Look at a page of "boom boom", look at a page of "boom boom", a quarter of an hour later, he feels that something is wrong, why is this cannon sound not over today? He ran behind the guards on the lookout and asked urgently, "Is there any new movement in the Ming army?" ”

The guards immediately turned around and saluted: "Lord Qiqi Dutong, the Ming army has not made any changes, but it is just constantly firing. ”

Azig was still not at ease, ran to the lookout hole on the side again, and looked at the city wall, this time he finally saw that something was wrong, the Ming army used today is not a scattered bullet, nor a flowering bullet, but a solid bullet, and there are many arrow stacks that have been beaten to only half of it!

Something was wrong, absolutely something was wrong, he immediately shouted: "Order, let the reserve garrison troops immediately gather under the city walls and prepare for reinforcements." ”

The herald took the order, and Azig himself ran to a lookout hole in front of him, staring at the Ming army outside.

Half an hour passed, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army had not stopped, many arrow stacks had been flattened, and the city wall became like an old man with missing teeth, full of openings, extremely ugly.

An hour passed, and the Ming army still did not stop the shelling, at this time nearly half of the arrow stacks had been flattened, and even the huge shield under the female wall was smashed several times, and the soldiers on the city wall began to suffer casualties.

Two hours passed, and the Ming army's artillery bombardment still did not stop, and at this time, the arrow stacks on the southern city wall had been almost cut, and Azig's heart slowly sank.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the Ming army moved, and countless wells and siege vehicles swarmed out from both sides, gradually filling his field of vision, Azig subconsciously shouted: "Prepare to open the ......" He didn't shout the last cannon word, because someone had already come to report just now, and the ten cannons on the southern wall had all been smashed!

Seeing that the Ming army was about to start attacking the city, Azig shouted anxiously: "Quick, give the order, prepare to roll the stone and wood." "As for hot water and hot oil, you don't need to prepare it, the pot on the city wall has been smashed to pieces, and there is no complete mouthful.

The herald ran to the city wall on both sides with a huge shield, and slowly began to bow over, with a giant shield, to help the rolling stones and sassalwood on the inner side of the city wall to the outside of the female wall, fortunately at this time the Ming army had been replaced with scattered bullets, otherwise they would have to be smashed over a large piece of this move.

The artillery fire of the Ming army has never stopped, and the egg-sized iron balls smashed into the city wall like raindrops, and the Mongolian soldiers and Houjin soldiers on it carried the rolling stones and sassalwood with great difficulty with huge shields.

Finally, the Ming army began to attack the city, and rows of wells quickly approached the city wall, followed by rows of siege vehicles, which were too many to count, and I don't know how many.

Azig came to the city wall of the south gate under the protection of the shield-raising guards, bent over and looked nervously at the Ming army below, suddenly, the well in front of him stopped, and a team of musketeers quickly climbed up the well guard, Azig's frightened face changed, and he shouted: "Quick, order all the giant shields to be erected, don't put them on your head, be careful of their musketeers." ”

The herald leaned forward with the shield in embarrassment, and as soon as he asked the guards to put the shield down and erect it in front of him, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and there was no gap, it kept ringing, "poof, poof", bullets poured down on the wooden shield like raindrops, and the people were terrified.

"Ah" A guard next to him suddenly screamed and covered his arm, it turned out that he didn't pay attention, his arm was always exposed outside the shield, although the rain of bullets was not very dense, but he was still shot quickly.

Seeing this, Azig couldn't help but shout: "Look at the point, don't stretch out the shield from any part, give me to stand close to the shield, and if there is not enough space behind the shield, go under the wall of the nest." ”

This is what Zhu Cijiong said about the barrage attack, the head is an egg-sized scattered bullet kept smashing down, in front of the musket bullets rained down, the Houjin soldiers and Mongolian soldiers on the city wall did not let alone draw bows and shoot arrows to shoot back, they didn't even dare to raise their heads, all of them hid behind the shield and the female wall and shrank into a ball, not daring to move, for fear that if they were not careful, there would be an extra blood hole on their bodies.

In this way, the besieging infantry rushed to the bottom of the city wall with almost no loss of a single soldier, and at this time the city wall was already full of broken bricks and all kinds of deformed shells, which formed a slope, and they put the ladder up to it, almost without support.

At this time, the roar of the artillery finally stopped, and the Mongol soldiers on the city wall, at the urging of the Houjin soldiers, began to raise the rolling stones and sassal wood and wanted to throw them down, but the barrage of flintlock muskets did not stop, and the musketeers on the well were lined up in three rows, and they continued to shoot in turn, and as soon as they left the range of the shield, they would be immediately beaten into a sieve.

The sparse rolling stones and sassal trees naturally could not stop the Ming army from climbing, and soon the Ming army climbed to the city wall, at this time, the flintlock pistol also stopped firing, and the barrage could only send the soldiers besieging the city here, and the next thing was hand-to-hand combat.

Azig spat at the mouth and scolded: "Damn, it's finally stopped, let the reserve troops below rush up for me, don't care if you stand on the city wall or not, squeeze if you can't stand down, squeeze the Ming army down for me!" ”

The width of the city wall is generally seven or eight meters, even if it is stacked together, it can be stacked in a row of twenty rows, so the city wall can only be squeezed down seventy or eighty thousand people, and there are originally 30,000 guards arranged on each city wall, and he mobilized 40,000 reinforcements, that is to say, as long as the reinforcements behind all rush up, the city wall will be crowded, and the Ming army will not even have a place to stay!

Will the Ming army really be squeezed down? Azig thought a little too much, because it was the Ming army that rushed up first, he let the support troops go up, although the defenders on the city wall were desperately resisting, but the Ming army's ladders could be thousands, and there were only four stairs from behind the city wall to the city wall, how could the speed of the support troops on the city wall be as fast as the Ming army!

The Ming army's siege force is also 40,000 people, 1,000 ladders, on average, as long as 40 people climb up each ladder, the speed is simply the same as a spring, less than a stick of incense in the time of 40,000 Ming troops all poured up. Zhu Cijiong also held a friendly match in order to boost morale, the left half is 20,000 Tianxiong army, the right half is 20,000 Qin army, whichever side captures the city wall first, will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver!

This is terrible, the siege soldiers of both armies are like stimulants, screaming, rushing is called a fierce one.

Needless to say, the Tianxiong army is here, although the Houjin soldiers and the Mongolian soldiers don't know the name of King Lu Yan, but King Lu Yan is still the king of Lu Yan, whether you know his prestige or not, he is the first to take the lead, the main general takes the lead, the Tianxiong army is extremely brave, and the enemy army on the left side of the city wall fell down from the inside of the city wall like dumplings, and soon gained the upper hand.

The Qin army is even more fierce on the other side, although Sun Chuanting is a civil official and can't take the lead in the charge, but they have the ancestor Dabi Zu Er, he is more fierce than Lu Xiang, plus the Qin army is a professional military household that makes a living from war, as soon as I heard that there are 100,000 taels of silver, one by one is just like a hungry wolf, the fierce don't want it, the enemy army on the right side of the city wall is like a sand wall under the huge waves, and it will be broken down in a few clicks!

Azig couldn't believe his eyes, what was the situation, 30,000 people couldn't resist in less than a quarter of an hour, and the reinforcements behind the city walls couldn't come up at all, and the stairs were all blocked.

The situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about the city walls on the left and right, so he decisively ordered: "Quick, let the defenders on the city walls on the left and right rush over to support." ”

There are generally small arrow towers at the corners of the city walls, although they are not as tall as the city gates, but as long as they stand up to a hundred or so archers, it is difficult to break through, so the general siege troops will not approach the corners, so as not to be shot in vain by the archers above. As soon as the command flag on the gate tower waved, the arrow towers on the left and right corners received the news, and after a while, the defenders on the left and right sides poured like a tide to the southern city wall.

Azig seems to have ignored a very serious problem, the Ming army has artillery, at this time two hundred 618 howitzers have been separated from it, one hundred on one side, lined up in a neat row of ten, just more than 600 steps away from the left and right corners, and they are all loaded with scattered shells, waiting for the defenders of the city walls on the left and right sides to come up!

Therefore, as soon as the defenders on the left and right appeared at the corner of the southern city wall, they were greeted by "boom boom", "boom boom", "boom boom", continuous artillery roar, ten guns at a time, in turns, and the area around the corner of the ten meters was covered by a barrage of scattered bullets.

The defenders on the left and right sides did not prepare huge shields, so the vanguard troops who came up to support were directly bombarded into a blood mist, you must know that the attack range of the scattered bombs itself is ten meters square, and ten cannons are superimposed on top of each other, and the power is estimated that even a three-inch thick wooden shield will be smashed.

Azig looked at the city wall that was gradually occupied by the Ming army, he didn't panic at all, the anxious look on his face slowly receded, replaced by a deep loneliness, he turned his head to look at the Ming army array under the city wall, and then coldly ordered: "Order, all Niu Lu led the men and horses to disperse and retreat, and gather outside Shengjing City!" ”
