Among the twenty volunteer soldiers who escaped, several were originally Ming army deserters, or the original Ming army veterans who were idle at home, or fire guns, about seven people, Zhang Qiang organized them, the first three and the last four, and placed them beside him, and at the same time, there were five archers in these righteous soldiers, exactly seven, Zhang Qiang put them behind the fire guns, covering the fire guns.

At present, Zhang Qiang has seven archers, seven firecrackers, three family soldiers, one patrol leader, two broadsword soldiers, ten pikemen, ten infantry, infantry with long knives, axes, and even dung forks, and five knife players.

In general, these soldiers are all soldiers of the Righteous Army, and the soldiers of the Righteous Army are the common people if they don't sound good, and they are brave people in the countryside, they are not soldiers at all, and they can't even reach the militia in terms of title.

The militia has received some basic training, has a certain combat effectiveness, and can basically use the weapons in their hands correctly.

And these young and strong, the people are strong, in addition to being physically strong, they all rely on blood and blood to fight, and they rely on their own bravery, even if they are the Ming army and the guards, they are not as good.

The guards of the Ming Dynasty relied on a few perfunctory trainings, knew how to be obedient, knew the queue, and these rebel soldiers only knew how to go to the city wall, and then rushed up like street thugs.

Zhang Qiang did a little division of labor, and asked Hu Kui to lead five sword players and three pikemen to guard the place where the enemy's ladder was erected; The pikeman and the swordman led five infantry to defend the wall; The remaining pikemen were behind, the infantry was in front, blocking in front of Zhang Qiang, and the other remaining family soldier commanded; Zhang Qiang commanded the musketeers and archers, and he led two broadsword soldiers in the rear, and the two broadsword soldiers were to protect themselves, leaning against the collapsed city gatehouse.

The enemy is still attacking the city, and this time the enemy seems to want to take the city wall in one fell swoop, breaking through the city, which has been going on for several hours, and still not retreating, but sending soldiers to the city wall in waves.

Maybe it was Zhang Qiang's reluctantly pinched up the rebel soldiers, they were too powerful, and they killed all the enemies who climbed up on this section of the city wall, which made all the surviving soldiers grateful to Zhang Qiang at the same time, and involuntarily obeyed Zhang Qiang's orders.

Taking advantage of the fact that the next wave of the enemy did not come, Zhang Qiang led four teams of soldiers to lie on the city wall, while enduring the cannonball attacks of the Tartars from time to time, while shooting and shooting arrows at the next wave of enemies rushing towards the city wall.

The long-range firepower output of fifteen men made the thirty-meter section of the city wall they defended difficult for the enemy to approach for a while.

Seventy or eighty people rushed to a section of the city wall, and they had to carry a new ladder, which allowed Zhang Qiang to shoot arrows calmly, and when the enemy's archers reacted, Zhang Qiang had killed at least twenty new Qing army annexes, and also shot a Mongolian herdsman.

When the enemy reacted, Zhang Qiang and the others retracted, about one step away from the city wall, except for the enemy's throwing bows and arrows that could hurt them, the other infantry could not attack them at all.

When Zhang Qiang killed a Qing army banner soldier who rushed up, Zhang Qiang heard the riding and slashing system sound, "You have been promoted to level 1, and you have learned the level 1 domination skill." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Qiang to react, the system voice sounded again:

"The Level 1 Domination skill allows you to calmly lead 50 volunteers. The game system works so that these soldiers, who are already with you in life and death, are determined to follow you and listen to your commands. ”

Although he has gained the Domination skill, the war continues.

The siege procession, which was mixed with Ming and Mongol archers, as well as Han flag archers, forced Zhang Qiang and them to take a few steps back, as their firepower could not suppress their opponents.

There are too many enemies, and there are too many veterans, and these soldiers in Zhang Qiang's hands, who have just turned from civilians to rebels, can't suppress their opponents at all, and the brutal melee fight begins when the first enemy has experienced the baptism of rolling wood and stones on the city wall, is covered with wounds, and roars and jumps onto the city wall.

In the face of a ferocious enemy, these recruits, who had just learned what war was like and had just learned to use their weapons to kill a few enemies, were pressed and beaten without exception.

Zhang Qiang was so anxious that he roared loudly, commanding the fire commanders and archers around him to attack the enemy.

Shoot the enemy yourself.

"Archers fire a volley at the enemy's rear." Zhang Qiang roared.

"The front row of the musketeers is free to fire, and the back row is ready to fire a salvo." The firecrackers in the back row stepped on the corpses of their comrades, one head higher than the three firecrackers in the front row, and aimed at the Qing army bannermen who rushed behind the enemy who were fighting with the three soldiers.

"Ready, fire."

Zhang Qiang saw the opportunity and roared, and the three firecrackers in front of him lit the firecrackers in their hands at the same time.

"Bang bang bang" three times, a Qing army flag man fell to the ground and was injured, a Qing army flag man was killed, the other was startled, stunned for a moment, was shot by seven archers full of arrow shafts, unwilling hands held the arrow shafts on his chest and fell to the ground and convulsed.

"Volley of firecrackers in the back row" Zhang Qiang shouted again, and his hands kept starting to reload the short firecrackers in his hands.

Four more gunshots rang out, four new Qing army annexes, the Ming army surrendered to the ground, and the three volunteer spearmen took the opportunity to rush up and help the three Jiading and Hu Kui kill the enemy in front of them.

The three pikemen gasped and the three servants lay on the ground, and Hu Kui knelt on the ground with a broadsword in his hand, looking up at the enemy rushing in front of him.

Zhang Qiang had already finished loading, he fired a shot in the chest at the first enemy who rushed over, but did not hit the chest, but swept the arm, and the person jerked to the side, falling to the ground and wailing.

"Volley of firearms in the front row," Zhang Qiang shouted again.

Three more sounds, three more enemies fell to the ground, one of whom tumbled over a gap in the wall without a battlement, screamed in mid-air, and fell under the wall.

Seeing such a powerful Zhang Qiang's musket team, the enemy on the city wall was chaotic for a while, and retreated in fright, you squeezed me and pushed, and finally two of them were pushed into the city wall and fell off the city wall, and then the shouts of the family members and the old women below the city wall, no need to look, sure that those enemies who fell down were not seriously injured and fell all at once had no way to live.

Archers are only shooting, after a day of fighting, even novices, should know how to seize the opportunity, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, seven archers shot arrows, making the enemy even more confused, casualties increased, at least three enemies were wounded, one enemy fell off the wall again, and the other enemies were squeezed on the narrow wall and could not retreat.

At this time, the firecrackers in the second row started again.

The battle lasted until dusk, and more and more soldiers who had been baptized by war gathered around Zhang Qiang.

After a day of fighting, these soldiers have been reborn and become real rebel soldiers, maybe they are not as good as those veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are not as elite as the Qing soldiers, but relying on the city wall, they still have a local advantage on the city wall, and they are still growing rapidly.

And Zhang Qiang finally has about fifty of his own baptized soldiers who are willing to follow.

The sunset has hung in the sky, the last moment of the day is coming soon, the southwest corner of the city wall has been bombarded by the Qing artillery for a day, and the traces of cracks can already be clearly seen, and even some tilts, crumbling.
