Li Zicheng has made up his mind, and he will not be willing to fight against the city.

There was an interception in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the current situation made the soldiers of the Shun army feel very frightened, but fortunately, the news came from behind, and the Qing army that followed behind only followed behind and did not attack them, which made many Shun troops breathe a little relieved.

Since Emperor Dashun gave the order, they could only cheer up and compete with Wei Wujun, ready to gnaw the hard bones in front of them.

Li Zicheng's people are easy to come by, and they can coerce tens of thousands of people at every turn, and because it is easy to get, Li Zicheng doesn't cherish it very much.

After only simple preparations, the Shun army set up an attack formation outside the city.

At the head of the city, Gao Yihuan observed the large array of the Shun army, the people and horses were all over the place, but there were few instruments, and there were only more than a dozen stone throwing machines in the big line, and then all of them were simple climbing ladders composed of several logs, and even the shield cars were not more than a few.

"Li Zicheng doesn't take the lives of his subordinates seriously!" Gao Yihuan looked outside the city, although the Shun army wanted to attack him, but he looked at these extremely poorly prepared Shun troops, and there was still a burst of grief and indignation in his heart.

Li Zicheng doesn't take human life seriously, to be honest, he can't compare to Qingqing's attention to his subordinates.

Thinking about the more than 100 people in Gaojiabao at the beginning, they were consumed in this way, and Zhao Daxian on the side smashed his fist on the wall brick in annoyance, "Turtle Sun is really not a thing!" ”

Although he was scolded and angry, he still had to be beaten, and he had to be beaten hard, and if Li Zicheng was to stand out, the tragedy would continue.

Gao Yihuan stared at it for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Order the artillery team, suppress the enemy's stone thrower, and then order all departments, once the enemy approaches, immediately attack." ”

The military order was conveyed, and the Wei Wu soldiers above and below the city had already made preparations.

Li Zicheng's methods and attitudes in fighting the war were still a few years ago, and there was no progress at all, and Gao Yihuan was full of confidence in this battle.

At this time, under the banner of the Shun army, Li Zicheng looked at Guancheng, he saw that the army was in formation, and ordered with anger: "Let Yuan Zongdi attack, the first person to climb the city, a reward of 100 gold, an official promotion, break through the pass and capture the person who is righteous and happy, and be crowned a marquis!" ”

Li Zicheng gave an order, the military flag waved, and the war drums beat in unison.

The military order was conveyed, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the five thousand Shun soldiers in front of the battle, with an instant roar, began to move forward, and the movement rushed towards the city.

Although the Shun army has hundreds of thousands of horses, the area in front of the pass is narrow, and the people and horses cannot be used at all, and there are only a few thousand people who can be invested at a time.

The dense Shun army, like a torrent, crowded forward.

Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he immediately shouted: "Artillery preparation!" ”

There are many people, which may be Li Zicheng's only advantage.

Thousands of Shun troops were in a tight formation, covering all the open space outside the pass, and the soldiers shouted again and again, so that the defenders in the city only felt that the flood peak had washed over.

However, this posture looked scary, but the soldiers of Wei Wujun knew that there was not much of a threat.

The soldiers of Shun are in front of the sword and shield, the climbers carrying ladders are in the center, and the soldiers with stone throwers are at the back, and there are archers who release arrows to cover the city.

The dense crowd shouted and flocked to the city, and a random shot could kill a string of people, but the artillery in the city did not bombard these soldiers, but aimed at the stone throwers behind.

The trebuchet is large, the firing range is short, and the accuracy is not high, if there is no artillery, there is still a place for it, but if there is artillery, it becomes a live target.

At this time, the forward of the Shun army was already one hundred and fifty steps closer to the city, and the stone thrower behind had already entered the effective range of the city's artillery, and it could be aimed at the artillery.

Li Zicheng saw the ant-like men and horses, rushing towards Guancheng, with a trace of cruelty on his face, "I want to see if Gao Yihuan can block several waves of attacks!" ”

At this moment, clouds of white smoke suddenly rose from the city, and then the sound of "boom, boom, boom" came over.

The cannonball whistled, causing the advancing Shun sergeant to shrink his neck, but the cannonball flew over the head of the Shun sergeant and smashed directly into the stone thrower that was pushed forward by the Shun sergeant.

These catapults had to be at least 300 paces away to set up a bombardment, and now they had barely reached 500 paces when they were attacked by artillery.

A cannonball smashed, and the stone thrower exploded in an instant, and the iron bullet hit the stone thrower, and then shot into the ground, and suddenly splintered wood and dirt splashed.

Several stone throwers were directly shattered by the cannonballs, and in an instant, sawdust flew, stabbing the soldiers below one after another, and the men and horses fell to pieces.

Li Zicheng, who was in the back, saw that several stone throwers collapsed at once, and immediately frowned, stood up with his buttocks off the saddle, stretched his neck to watch, and his face sank immediately.

Yuan Zongdi was standing near the stone thrower, commanding the soldiers to attack the city, and suddenly there was a whistling in his ears, and a black iron ball shot rapidly.

Before he could react, he heard a "bang" sound, and a stone thrower next to him was directly pierced by a cannonball, the throwing rod was broken, and the iron bullet was wrapped in countless wood chips and fragments, injuring a large number of Shunjun archers behind him.

In an instant, countless soldiers fell to the ground and wailed, and the screams of "ahhh

This made Yuan Zongdi's face change, and his heart sank, "Gao Yihuan's artillery is so accurate, I'm afraid that the stone thrower will be killed by the artillery one by one before it reaches the firing position." ”

For a while, Yuan Zongdi's face was full of bitterness.

At this time, in the rear, Li Zicheng's old face had turned purple.

He saw the stone throwing machine with his own eyes, one after another was paralyzed on the road by artillery, the sawdust was splashed, and the nearby Shun army was injured by a large number of shots, so he estimated that the great thunder in his hand should be smashed in his hand.

The generals of the Shun army beside Li Zicheng looked heavy, and the Shun army also had artillery, but most of them were lost in Tongguan, and some were left behind because the road was not easy to walk.

Now that the stone thrower was knocked out by the Ming artillery, the plan of attacking with earth-shaking thunder was difficult to realize, so it could only be filled by relying on the soldiers' hard rush and human lives.

At this time, the Shun army had already arrived fifty steps away from Guancheng, Gao Yihuan looked at it, couldn't help but shake his head, and said left and right: "It's boring!" Command! Ben Shuai is down to the city! ”

The Shun army was about to attack the city, the sword had no eyes, Gao Yihuan knew his location, and saw that there was no big problem in the defense, so he confessed and hurriedly went down to the city.

At this time, he just turned around, and there was a series of "bang bang" bangs behind him, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire front on the city, and the Shun army that shot a gun retreated in the smoke to reload, and the second column of guns had already stepped forward, and a row of orange-red guns flashed out of the mouth of the gun.

Under the city, the soldiers of Shun, who had just approached the low wall, fell down in the sound of guns.

The dense Shun army was instantly sparse, and several Shun soldiers wanted to climb over the low wall, and as soon as they stood up, a few spears stabbed directly in the face, and the sound of killing immediately shook the sky under the wall~
