This time, Duoduo invested in the capital, not only investing unprecedented military power, but also paying attention to the protection of the soldiers.

Gao Yihuan is a powerful opponent, and if he fights against Gao Yihuan, even if he wins, the Qing army will suffer heavy losses.

In order to preserve the strength of the Qing army, even the surrendered army in Jiangbei prepared a large number of equipment, and it was never exposed to the Wei army's firearms, bows and arrows on a large scale.

Guarding the north of Xiangcheng is Liu Tichun, and the moat under the city has been filled by Shang Kexi in the previous war, providing a lot of convenience for the Qing army's attack.

Under Duoduo's order, the Qing army began to launch a three-sided siege of Xiangcheng, and at the same time, Shang Kexi and Nikan, each with 30,000 men, bypassed Xiangcheng and made a detour to the rear of Xiangcheng to attack the two military forts.

Because there were 10,000 horses on each of the two wings before, holding the Wei stragglers in the mountains on both sides, Shang Kexi and Nikan were able to stick to the mountains and march towards the two military forts.

At this time, due to the distance, the north of Xiangcheng first faced the impact of the Qing army.

Together with the trumpet drums of the Qing army, there were nearly 10,000 Qing troops, holding more than a dozen siege planes, ladders, and shield carts, rushing towards the northern city.

The Qing soldiers were in the front, the shield cart was in front, the infantry was in the back, and the towering instruments in the queue were sandwiched in it, putting huge pressure on the hand army.

Although Duoduo's main attack direction is the two military forts behind Xiangcheng, it does not mean that the attack on Xiangcheng is a false play.

In fact, in order to contain Gao Yihuan's troops in Xiangcheng, Duoduo launched a three-sided siege of Xiangcheng, which was also serious, not a feint.

To deal with Gao Yihuan, we must go all out.

At this time, Liu Tichun looked at the Qing army under the city, surging like ants, and saw the siege tower that was level with the city, getting closer and closer, and immediately waved his knife to command, and the artillery on the enemy platform aimed at these large equipment.

In the siege of the city, this kind of large equipment is the greatest threat to the city wall, if they can't get close to the city wall, destroy it, once they get close to the city wall, it is a huge threat, and the Qing army will continue to rush up the city wall.

At this time, on the enemy platform, a large general's cannon of about 1,000 catties roared, a cloud of white smoke was raised, and the cannonballs whistled out, but the result was directly missed, falling next to an empty city tower, knocking over the two Qing soldiers who bowed their heads forward.

Without saying a word, the gunners re-loaded their chambers, and the wet brushes reached into the muzzles, and the water vapor evaporated, making a sizzling sound.

The cannonball was quickly loaded, and a gunner was in charge of readjusting the gun position and starting to aim, but a deep voice came from behind him to warn: "Look at it and put it again, as soon as this cannon misses, the Tartar will be on the city!" ”

"You're a, noisy! You can put it away! The soldier who operated the cannon sweated on his forehead and scolded without looking back.

Behind him, an officer was about to step forward to cut him, but Liu Tichun waved his hand, stopped the officer, and signaled that it was okay.

With a "boom", the cannon body retreated, and thirty paces away in the distance, a siege tower suddenly "bang", and the sawdust exploded.

On the enemy platform, the gunners of the Wei army suddenly cheered, and the gunners who were aiming just turned around to celebrate with their comrades when they saw Liu Tichun standing behind him, and they were stunned for a moment.

At this time, the top of the siege tower exploded, and the cannonballs smashed the top of the tower, and the sawdust and several corpses were smashed down, killing several people instantly.

"The top of the tower is gone!" The Qing army pushing the siege tower suddenly drew his war knife and shouted as he ran towards the equipment next to him, pushing the other equipment forward.

In the city, there was no need for the generals to order, the Wei army's firearms, bows and arrows, and cannons had already opened fire one after another, beckoning the Qing army who were rushing to the city wall, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the city.

The Qing soldiers charged under a dense net of cannonballs, arrows, and lead bullets, and all kinds of equipment paralyzed on the road and corpses were killed everywhere along the way.

"Get out of the way!" Attacking the north of Xiangcheng was the Jiangbei Descending Army Xu Dingguobu, who personally commanded his subordinates, pushed the shield cart to the city, and then lined up to form a wooden wall.

There were only a few gaps left in the wooden wall, and a large number of Qing troops carried ladders and siege equipment, passed through the gaps, directly entered the city wall, and then erected ladders to climb up.

Behind the wooden wall composed of shield carts, the gunners of the army were lined up in three rows, raising their guns to shoot at the head of the city.

The guns of the Qing army hit the city head and splashed the gravel, suppressed the firepower of the city head, and advanced to the Qing army under the city wall, taking the opportunity to erect a ladder and climb towards the city head.

At this time, the raised enemy platform on the city wall played his role, the Wei soldiers did not need to show their bodies at all, the fire gun hand stretched out the gun rod from the perforation, "bang" pulled the trigger, the gun rod shook, the projectile shot out of the gun, and climbed the back of the Qing army in the middle, and the Qing soldier immediately fell down the ladder with a scream.

The Wei army shot at the shooting hole of the enemy platform without interruption to kill the Qing troops who climbed the city, and the Qing soldiers who swarmed fell one after another like sticks hitting jujube trees.

"Keep rushing!" Xu Dingguo, seeing his subordinates on the ladder fall down and knock down the soldiers below, the muscles in his face twitched, and he waved his knife and shouted orders.

Behind the wooden wall formed by shield carts, there were immediately Qing troops, brandishing swords and rushing towards the city wall. At the foot of Xiangcheng, Qing soldiers were everywhere like ants.

At this time, behind the city wall, in the command post of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan and the generals surrounded the sand table, and above their heads were the sound of firecrackers, cannons, and the miserable howls of the soldiers, as well as the earth-shattering shouts of the Qing army outside the city.

At the command post, just at the steps of the city, you can see a team of medical officers wearing white armbands, carrying the wounded soldiers off the city wall on stretchers, into the nearby courtyard, and being treated by Lang Zhong.

As the Qing army launched a general offensive, the fighting gradually intensified, and the Wei army began to suffer casualties.

Li Laiheng pointed to the sand table and said: "King, the Qing army is besieging Xiangcheng on three sides, and there are 30,000 horses on the left and right, bypassing the city to attack the military fort behind. Looking at the banner, it seems to be the men and horses led by Shang Kexi and Nikan. ”

"Plant the flag!" Gao Yihuan frowned, and hurriedly commanded.

Immediately, there were guards who planted the banner representing the strength of the Qing army on the sand table to reflect the changes in the battlefield situation.

Shang Kexi and Nikan were Duoduo's right-hand men, and they were actually sent out to attack the military fort, and Gao Yihuan immediately realized Duoduo's intentions.

Gao Yihuan raised his head and looked at Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, you are right." Turtle Sun wants to pull out two military forts first! ”

Li Dingguo's expression was a little serious, and he unconsciously began to worry about Gao Yihuan, pointing to the two fortresses, "These two military forts, I feel that we can't afford to lose, once we lose them, Xiangcheng will be isolated, and the connection with the south bank will also be cut off by the Qing army." ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, straightened up, and gave a decisive order, "Order Wu Shizhao, wait for the signal of this king, once the south gate of Xiangcheng is opened and the cavalry is killed, let him send men and horses across the river to attack the enemy soldiers attacking the fort with the north and south of the lone king." ”

Li Laiheng immediately clenched his fists, "The minister is ordered!" ”

At this time, in the main formation of the Qing army, Duoduo saw the heavy losses of the men and horses attacking Xiangcheng, he saw with his own eyes the collapse of one siege tower after another, saw the ladder and the goose cart, ignited a raging fire, and the Qing troops who landed in the city fell one after another, and the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally.

The Wei army did not dare to fight with him in the field, and he was indeed a good hand when he became the king.

In the siege battle, the huge casualties made many Qing generals a little shocked, but Duoduo just had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth: "Go again!" ”

Xiangcheng is the main force of the Wei army, and if they are not contained, Shang Kexi and Nikan will be harassed if they attack the military fort, so in order to successfully take the military fort, Duoduo can bear the casualties.

This fashionable and gratifying, Nikan led the men and horses, and had already detoured back to the rear of Xiangcheng.

The two of them were on the left and the right, each facing a military fort, the fortress was not large, it could only accommodate three thousand people at most, and the strength of the two was ten times that of the fortress.

At this time, as the Qing army approached the fortress, there was a roar on the fortress, and clouds of white smoke rose up, and Shang Kexi saw more than 20 shells smashing in, splashing clumps of dirt on the ground.

Shang Kexi had attacked the Wei army's military fort, and knowing that he would be bombarded by artillery, his 30,000 men and horses did not form a dense formation, but scattered and advanced towards the military fort.

This fashion is gratifying to glance at the banner floating on the military fort, there is a Zhao character of the commander banner, it should be the Wei general Zhao Mingchong, not the main general of the Wei army, but also a middle-to-upper-class figure.

Shang Kexi squinted his eyes and reined in the reins of his horse when he was out of range of the fortress's artillery, but his soldiers advanced with their weapons.

At this time, the south of Xiangcheng "boomed" a few cannon shots, the head of the city rose gunsmoke, the shells fell into the Qing army's infantry army, and the artillery that began to cooperate in the military fort bombarded the approaching Qing army.

Almost at the same time, the Nikan army, which had turned back to the right, was also subjected to artillery bombardment, and pillars of mud rose in the array, and the soldiers howled miserably~
