Bai Wenxuan saw that the herald's body fell, and he was immediately furious, and he slashed at the Ming army with a knife, he was the general of the Western Army, and the Ming army was naturally not an opponent but could only block, and was split by Bai Wenxuan for a while and retreated, and finally approached the city wall and was kicked off the city.

Seeing this, Bai Wenxuan immediately grabbed an officer and asked him to find Sun Kewang to move the rescue troops, and he stood at the head of the city, looked down at the city, and saw a team of elite Ming troops, who were concentrating on attacking the city gate, his face suddenly chilled, and he hurriedly shouted: "The archers used rockets to burn the Ming army's well, and the others smashed the Ming army down with rolling logs!" ”

After that, he ran out a few steps, picked up a knife and went to the city gate to kill, but halfway through, a Ming army jumped up from the city, this time not a pawn, but a thousand household officials, with a back flag behind him, and when he came up, he overturned a Western army with a knife, and then fought with him.

The city gate is the place where the western army is guarded, and there are already a lot of corpses piled up below, a member of the Ming army Baihu Pass climbed along the ladder, and a soldier in front of him was suddenly stabbed down by a spear, screaming and falling to the head of the city.

Baihu's heart was cold, a few steps in a hurry, but the spear on the city stabbed down, he couldn't dodge, and jumped directly on the oblique suspension bridge in an emergency, so he waved his knife to cut and pull the wedge of the suspension bridge, a few knives down, the long chain of cutting off the fly, the Ming army on the other side also jumped up when he saw it, raised to the slash, the suspension bridge fell to the ground, and the dust was flying.

Ma Jinzhong, who was in the distance, saw the drawbridge falling, and immediately shouted: "On the battering ram!" ”

The battering ram was the size of a bucket, wrapped in iron sheets, and hung from a wooden frame, designed to break through the gates.

Nearly 100 elite Ming soldiers wearing iron armor immediately held shields, pushed three-zhang long battering rams, braved the arrows shot from the city, and smashed down the rolling wood, like iron beetles, which could not be shaken.

The rain of arrows shot by the western army in the city from between the wall battlements has nailed the shields of the Ming army armor, and even the wooden planks on the top of the battering rams have been shot into porcupines.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the walls trembled, the bricks and earth fell, the battering rams were shaken, and the giant trees, carrying ten thousand catties of strength, rushed madly towards the city gate again.

"Boom" was another earth-shattering muffled sound, the city wall was shaking violently, the city gate was knocked out of a big hole, the soldier in front of him saw it, his face changed, and he immediately scolded angrily: "Straight thief, don't hit it, it's blocked by stones!" ”

The soldiers who hit the city were stunned when they heard this, no wonder the walls were smashed, and the city gates were not opened. A thousand-household official who planted a flag behind his back hurriedly picked up the people in front of him, glanced into the hole, and then turned around and said: "It's easy to do, get explosives, and tear off the city gate building for him!" ”

Sun Kewang wanted to preserve his strength and leave the elite soldiers, but he was unwilling to fight with the Ming army at the beginning, and finally let Haoge Fisherman benefit, so most of the defenders of the city were miscellaneous soldiers.

Although the equipment of the Western Army is poor, it has a complete city defense system, and it only needs to guard one city wall, Sun Kewang is still very confident.

From the beginning of the siege, Sun Kewang was invited to go down to the city and take refuge in the city, but he was not at ease and did not go far, but rested in a house not far from Xicheng.

Artillery and stones flew around Xicheng, smashing into people's houses from time to time, and smashing on the streets from time to time, so that the soldiers walking on the streets were very careful.

Sun Kewang heard loud noises outside from time to time, and dense footsteps sounded in the market, and knew that it was the various departments heading towards Xicheng.

"Report! King! An officer crawled into the lobby of the house.

Sun Kewang stood up abruptly and asked loudly, "What's the situation?" ”

"The king, the Xicheng crisis, the white commander asks the king to send elite support!" The officer fell to one knee, panting and his face full of panic.

"More than 40,000 people are under Bai Wenxuan's dispatch, can't he even hold on for a day?" Sun Kewang was a little shocked and a little annoyed, more than 20,000 people didn't take a single hair of the Ming army before, it was understandable that it was a field battle, and it was a good place to stand today, how could it be like this.

The other generals of the Western Army in the house are all discolored, the army of a country is either getting weaker and weaker, or stronger and stronger, before the year of Jiashen, the Ming army is getting weaker and weaker, and finally even Li Zicheng can not deal with it, and goes to perdition, after Jiashen, the combat power of the Ming army fell to the bottom, but since then it has become stronger and stronger, and they are now incapable of blocking the anger of the Ming army.

"Great king, the Ming army's firearms are powerful, and the range exceeds that of bows and arrows, they erected a high platform outside the city, climbed the well, and shot at the head of the city from a high point, but our bows and arrows could not shoot them, and they were completely suppressed by the Ming army. The Ming army was well-equipped, and the soldiers had been in battle for a long time, and they were extremely fierce, so the brothers were not opponents. The officer hurriedly explained.

The killing distance of the old guns of the Ming army is about the same as that of bows and arrows, and some are not even far away from bows and arrows, but now the new guns, supervised by the Song brothers, have Xiyi craftsmen and Ming Dynasty masters, after four or five years of technology accumulation to create, after the prescribed dosage, the effective killing is far more than the bow and arrow and arquebus.

Because the airtightness of the self-made fire gun is stronger than that of the bird, the firing range is greatly improved, it can be aimed and shot within 100 meters, and it can be fired in a row within 200 meters, and then the gun will float far away, but this kind of performance has far exceeded the general bow and arrow aiming at 70 meters, this difference in distance, can bring a huge advantage to the Ming army, so that most of the weapons in the city can not attack the Ming army, the Western army can only use the low hit rate of the projectile to shoot back, and the Ming army can wantonly aim directly at the point of shooting the Western army on the city.

Sun Kewang was annoyed for a while, the defense of the city had just begun, he really didn't want to consume the elite, but if he didn't send the elite, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stand it for a morning.

This is not only a gap between soldiers and soldiers, but also a gap in equipment and technology and national strength, and this gap can no longer rely on human life alone.

"Smack!" With a sound, Sun Kewang slammed his fist on the table, "Pass the order, transfer the old battalion to the city to support!" Drive the Ming army out of the city! ”

Several generals in the hall immediately took the order to leave, and Sun Kewang also carried a war knife and wanted to go out, but was stopped by the guards, "Where is the king going?" ”

"This king is going to supervise the war, you get out of the way!" Sun Kewang angrily pushed away the block, and the guards could only follow him out of the house.

Dense footsteps came, and the elite of the old battalion of the brigade drove out of the barracks, and countless soldiers with spears filled the streets.

Sun Kewang led a team of men and horses to the west gate, and when he walked to the street, the whole ground suddenly trembled, and there was a loud bang at the city gate, and countless gravel sprayed out from the door hole, and the city gate of the urn city was broken.

Sun Kewang's face was shocked, he drew his knife in his hand, and immediately shouted urgently: "Go to Ximen!" ”

The Ming army quickly cleared the doorway, and many Ming troops had been boarded on the city wall, pinning down the stunned Western army, and the battering ram was pushed into the urn city and began to hit the city gate, and within a few clicks, the city gate was knocked open.

The Ming soldiers were overjoyed, and they immediately poured in, they had already seen the street scene in the city, but they were indeed greeted by a dense forest of guns.

For a time, the Western army and the Ming army collided together in the doorway, and the soldiers behind continued to rush forward, and the two soldiers in front were suddenly squeezed together and stabbed to death by their respective swords and spears.

"Push!" The Ming army saw that the city was about to be broken, the officer shouted, the Ming army who poured into the urn city pushed forward frantically, and the western army also squeezed out from the inside, trying to stop the Ming army from entering the city.
