Noon was approaching, the sun was in the sky, and the Tile Spur coalition army outside Hami City began to assemble and set up, four directions, 200,000 horses, commanding arrays, and the momentum was pressing.

Gu Shi Khan stared at the sundial in front of him, and as soon as the shadow of the sundial needle coincided with the noon hour, he raised his hand without hesitation and shouted, "Kill." “

"Kill", shouts of killing sounded in all directions at the same time, and the 20,000-watt spur cavalry acted as foot soldiers, carrying the ladder and rushing towards the city wall.

After the training of the Russian instructors, they already roughly knew how to dodge the shells, and the originally neat formation became extremely scattered after running away, and everyone was like crazy, twisting around, just not walking in a straight line!

Hou Gongji looked at them in the telescope and twisted seriously, couldn't help but pout, and coldly ordered: "Order the artillery, the middle fifty guns are loaded with shells, and the two sides are on standby." “

The total number of tile spur cavalry in front of him is only about 5,000 people, if more than 100 artillery pieces continue to bombard, it is estimated that they will fall half of them before they get close to the city wall, if the defenders in Hami are insufficient, they will naturally bombard with all their strength, but now, it is natural to take it easy, it is not good to scare them all away.

The enemy troops besieging the city had already entered the range of artillery bombardment, but Hou Gongji did not order the artillery to be fired, because he only planned to bombard one round, and the effect of late and early opening was not much worse.

When the enemy's advance was less than two miles away from the city wall, Hou Gongji raised his hand unhurriedly and shouted: "Open the cannon." “

"Boom, boom, boom" As soon as his words fell, the roar of artillery rang out on the city wall, and fifty shells soon fell into the enemy's ranks.

Since the enemy army itself was not very numerous, and it was very scattered, the hit rate of this round of shelling was not high, and only about 100 unlucky people in the middle were swept by the shells.

Hou Gongji then ordered: "All the infantry are ready, shoot six rounds in a row, and there is no need to aim." “

The guards scattered, and the infantry on the walls quickly unloaded their muskets from their shoulders and lay down on the women's wall, aiming them in front.

When the roar of artillery sounded on the city wall, the corners of Gu Shihan's eyes couldn't help twitching, but when he saw that the sparse cannonballs only caused a hundred casualties, he couldn't help but pout again.

This artillery is really useless, it takes a lot of hard work, it costs a lot, it is a cannon casting, it is gunpowder, it is a cannonball, it is a special gunner, and it takes a lot of effort to move it to the city wall, and the result is that with this lethality, it is better to recruit more soldiers!

Soon, the siege troops were within two hundred steps of the city wall, and he knew that the Ming army was afraid that they were going to shoot.

Sure enough, the walls of the city quickly remembered the "pop" of gunshots.

Still, it was not lethal, because Gushi Khan had all the armored iron horsemen at the front, and they still had shields in their hands, and muskets were of no use to hit them.

The muskets rang out for a while and finally stopped, and the casualties caused were not very large, the besieging troops fell less than a hundred, and not many were wounded.

Gu Shi Khan sighed and put down the binoculars in his hand, the power of the musket and artillery was about the same as he expected, and it did not cause too many casualties, it seemed that neither Hamiwei nor Jiayuguan could be taken down without spending too many men.

He didn't know that the Ming army deliberately didn't aim, and the artillery didn't bombard it with all its might, if it really opened fire with all its might, it would be good if half of the 5,000 people could be left at this time.

Next, Hou Gongji performed a wonderful hand-to-hand fight for him.

When the siege troops approached the city wall, the Ming army did not even throw a grenade, but used old methods such as rolling stones, sassal wood, hot oil, and boiling water.

Hundreds of ladders climbed the city wall, and thousands of people climbed up and were stabbed down, and Gu Shi Khan calmly observed with a telescope.

The Ming army still didn't have any special means, they just knew how to stab with a gun.

This round of temptation is almost over, and it is impossible for five thousand people to take down the city wall, Gushi Khan looked at it for a while, and ordered lightly: "Mingjin, collect the troops." “

A gong sounded in the formation of the Tile Spurs, and the besieging soldiers spread their feet and ran back, not even the ladder on the city wall.

The losses in this round were not very large, only two or three hundred people were actually killed, and not many were seriously injured, most of them were only slightly injured.

Gushi Khan felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the city wall was like this, and he said directly to the guards behind: "Go, notify the other three directions, two rounds behind, onslaught, don't stop in the middle, and strive to take down the city wall." “

Hou Gongji on the city wall saw Gu Shi Khan's expression clearly in the telescope, it seemed that the next step should be the official siege of the city, he also ordered to the guards: "Go and inform the other three directions, the enemy is tentative, and then go all out!" “

Gu Shi Khan roughly estimated the time, and not long after the herald's guards ran out, he decisively ordered: "On the second wave, attack the city with all your might." “

"Kill", the 10,000 people in the west first launched a charge, followed by earth-shattering shouts of killing in the south, north, and east.

Seeing this scene, Hou Gongji on the city wall immediately ordered: "All artillery, load shells, and bombard ten rounds in a row." “

Following his order, the artillery commander raised the order flag, and all the artillery quickly began to reload.

When the loaded flags were raised at each gun position, the artillery commander waved the flag down without hesitation, and at the same time shouted: "Fire." “

"Boom Boom" this time there were more than a hundred shells, and the siege of the city was also twice as dense, so the casualties caused were a bit large.

After one round, at least three or four hundred people splashed blood, and after ten rounds, the siege team was directly reduced by a small half.

Gu Shi Khan was scared out of cold sweat at this time, what is going on!

It seems that you have fallen into the evil deeds of the Ming army, what should I do, retreat?

He glanced around with his binoculars, and at this time, the besieging team was less than two hundred paces away from the city wall, and if they retreated, they would have to suffer ten rounds of shells when they returned, and if five or six thousand people climbed the city wall, they would almost have taken the city wall down, and he gritted his teeth and did not give the order to retreat.

If five or six thousand people all rushed up, it would naturally be difficult to resist, but how could Hou Gongji let them rush up so easily.

As soon as the Tile Spurs came within two hundred paces of the city wall, he gave a decisive order for all the infantry to aim and fire, two roulette wheels and twelve rounds of ammunition each.

"Papapa" on the city wall remembered the dense gunfire again, this time it was not a blind volley, but a aimed shot, and countless tile spur soldiers covered their faces or fell down their necks.

At this time, even Hou Gongji couldn't help but reach out and ask for a sniper rifle from the guard's hand, and a snap shot punched a bloody hole in the throat of the enemy's front-line commander!

By the time the Tile Thorns approached the walls, there were less than 4,000 men left, including those who had been lightly wounded, but their fate was not over.

They will be greeted by rolling stones, sandalwood, hot oil, boiling water, and grenades!
