At present, the gap is densely packed with soldiers, including the green battalion soldiers who are retreating in a hurry, and the Pingnan army who are chasing and killing, and the two sides are staggered together. The Mantars actually ordered the artillery to be fired at this time, and the Green Battalion and the Pingnan Army would be harmed.

So ruthless!

When Jin Shenghuan opened his eyes, he saw more than a dozen huge projectiles slashing through the low air and falling at the gap, smashing on the collapsed city wall and bouncing again, rolling and bouncing forward all the way, flying flesh and blood all the way through, plowing out more than a dozen bloodstained roads.

The shells on this side did not stop, and there was another series of loud noises, and more than a dozen shells flew one after another, and the full Tartar artillery actually fired in turn.

Looking at the full Tartar artillery array that was pushed to a distance of only more than a mile from the city wall, Jin Shenghuan hated the root of his teeth.

"Order all the cannons to be aimed at the full Tartar artillery array, and destroy them for me!" Jin Shenghuan hissed and roared.

"Yes!" His heralds hurriedly went to give orders, and the artillery on the enemy platform began to turn their muzzles, and artillery from other places also hurriedly moved here.

However, although there are dozens of artillery pieces on the Sizhou city wall, most of them are fixed on the forts of the city wall, and there are no mobile artillery carriages at all.

"I should have discovered Mantar's intentions!" Jin Shenghuan regretted in his heart.

The number of artillery that could be mobilized in the city was too small to suppress the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, and the Pingnan army, which was chasing and killing the green battalion soldiers at the gap, suffered heavy casualties, and Jin Shenghuan had to order them to retreat, which also made most of the green battalion soldiers escape and escape back to the rear safely.

This time, Duoduo did not punish them, because Xu Biao, the general of the Green Battalion who was in charge of the command, was killed in battle, which shows that the Green Battalion had done their best. Duoduo ordered this part of the green battalion to go to rest for the time being, and replace Liu Zhong's troops to continue the attack. Liu Zhong was originally a general of the Shun army, and was ordered by Li Zicheng to guard Huaiqing Mansion north of the Yellow River.

Liu Zhong scoffed at the rout of Xu Biao's army, although everyone is now a green battalion soldier, but he was born in the Shun army and still looked down on the Ming army.

"Brothers, give it to Lao Tzu! Let the officers and soldiers in the city see how powerful we are! Liu Zhong was mobilizing before the war as usual, and the enemy in front of him was still a hateful officer and army, but he didn't realize that his identity had changed.

Liu Zhong's army was indeed much more elite than Xu Dingguo's subordinates, and they were more daring to fight, and after entering the gap, they were inseparable from the Ming army, which made Duoduo, who was watching the battle behind, nod slightly.

However, it is also difficult to break into the city like this, and Duoduo did not want to delay time in Sizhou any longer, so he ordered Li Shutai to take two Niu Lu Zhenman Eight Banner soldiers mixed with Liu Zhong's team to attack the gap, and be sure to take Sizhou today and camp in the city.

"Look, Lord Wang!" Li Shutai knocked on the iron armor on his chest and assured loudly.

"Lord Commander, Mantar has sent reinforcements to participate in the siege!"

Just as Jin Shenghuan was engrossed in the attack and defense at the gap, the sentry in charge of the lookout reported. Jin Shenghuan felt very guilty for not discovering the Qing army's dispatch of artillery trucks just now, and specially ordered special people to observe the movements of the Qing army.

When Jin Shenghuan heard the sound, he saw that five or six hundred Qing troops were behind the green battalion soldiers besieging the city. This Qing army is obviously different from the green battalion soldiers who fought in the gap, whether it is clothing or spirit.

Liu Zhong's subordinates were originally Shun troops, and they had just surrendered to the Qing army, but they were hurriedly covered with a clamp embroidered with the word "soldier" outside, and even the conical white cool hat on their heads was only available to officers.

And this group of Qing soldiers, each wearing a full set of armor, wearing an iron helmet on his head, and a red tassel on the top of the high pointed needle. The body is even bigger and the waist is round, and it looks extremely fierce, far from being comparable to the weak green battalion soldiers.

The Mantars have finally dispatched the Eight Banners! Jin Shenghuan suddenly cheered up, a series of orders were passed down, and the reserve of the 1,000-square-meter Southern Army immediately began to prepare.

The task of defending Sizhou is to delay the Mantars and consume their vital strength, even if they kill more green battalion soldiers, what's the point?

At the gap, Li Xiaozheng led the troops to fight with the green battalion soldiers. In the recent indiscriminate artillery bombardment of the Manchurians, seventy or eighty of his soldiers died, and this is still a Manchurian solid shell, if it is replaced by the flowering shells developed by the enemy's intelligence department, I am afraid that more brothers will die.

But even so, Li Xiao still took the remaining more than 800 brothers to the death, and attacked again against the green battalion soldiers. Although there were still 2,000 troops in the Pingnan Army who had not participated in the battle, they were the last reserves, and they could not be easily dispatched until the critical moment.

The brothers are very heroic, and they are very skillful in cooperating with each other, and each small flag is like a millstone, grinding the green battalion soldiers who have entered the gap into a blur of flesh and blood. Li Xiao stood in the middle of the formation and commanded, and there was no need to personally lead the team to fight if he was a sentry officer, but for Li Xiao, who was born in the Xishan Army, hand-to-hand combat with a gun was much more refreshing than commanding in the back.

Suddenly, a rapid bangzi sounded, which was to remind him to pay attention, Li Xiao hurriedly looked at it, and saw hundreds of sharps in full armor rushing out from behind the green battalion soldiers, and launched a fierce attack on his men.

The soldiers of a small flag still tried to kill this group of new Eight Banners soldiers as usual, but who knew that as soon as the shield of defense was raised, it was smashed by the oncoming mace, and the soldier with the shield fell down with blood spitting blood. The other soldiers of the Pingnan Army were shocked, and several spears resigned at the same time, and the Eight Banners soldier with the mace only turned sideways slightly, dodging the spear that stabbed at the point, and the other spears pierced into his armor, so that the soldiers with the spear were shocked to find that they could not pierce through the armor, it turned out that in addition to the iron armor outside, the Eight Banners soldiers were wearing two layers of armor inside.

The mace waved by the Eight Banners soldiers, several spears were smashed by maces, and the soldiers of the Pingnan Army with guns retreated in embarrassment. The Ming army with a small flag was actually pierced by this Eight Banners! Li Xiao, who saw the command behind the formation, was secretly frightened.

What he didn't know was that these people who rushed to the front were all white-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners Army, all of whom were wearing three layers of armor, and they were the dead soldiers in the Eight Banners. The thickness of its armor is not strong and the crossbow cannot penetrate it, and the spear stab of ordinary strength cannot penetrate the three layers of armor at all.

Li Shutai led two Niu Lu more than 400 Eight Banner soldiers to kill the Ming army at the gap, and more than 20 white-armored soldiers were the vanguard, and the formation of the Ming army was cut open at once, and the Ming army was caught off guard.
