On the fourth day, in order to bulldoze the plum blossom piles and antler formations behind the outer trenches and let the siege equipment continue to advance, the Qing army suffered hundreds of casualties, and almost every step forward had to pay the price of blood. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

1 day, 2 days, 3 days...... Seven or eight days later, after paying more than 300 trench filling vehicles and more than 2,000 casualties of miscellaneous troops, the Qing army finally filled in several sections of the moat, cleared out several passages, and pulled the battle line under the city wall of Wuzhou.

South City.

Under the banner embroidered with the word "Qing", the main force of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qing army was divided into more than ten thousand-person teams.

The terrain under the southern city wall of Wuzhou is the flattest, which is most conducive to the formation of troops, and Li Chengdong has laid a large number of main forces here.

Surrounded by layers of troops, there are thirteen three-thousand-pound Hongyi cannons with a ghostly light lined up, and there are several gunners standing on the side of each Hongyi cannon, and the muzzle of the cannon is more than five inches, like the bloody mouth of a monster, terrifying.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The thunderous roar of the cowhide war drums sounded, which was the signal for the Chinese army to open fire.

The gunners received the order and skillfully began to clear their chambers, fill the charges, arrange the fire ropes, etc., until they finished loading, and with the command of the flag officer, the flag waved: "Let go!" ”

The gunners immediately lit the fuse with torches, and then covered their ears and squatted beside them, waiting for the fuse to burn out, when suddenly the ground shook violently, and the cannon muzzle spit out an orange-red flame with a violent sound, and then the smoke of gunpowder filled, and the cannonball flew to the city wall of Wuzhou, causing fragments of masonry to fly.

Wu Jisi, the commander of the pro-army on the city tower, stepped forward to protect Zhu Youlang, and said with concern: "The city is dangerous, the emperor should go down to the city quickly, and leave it to Mr. Zhai and his subordinates here!" ”

"No!" Zhu Youlang pushed Wu Jihei away, and said resolutely: "I want to personally supervise the battle here, and swear to live and die with Xing!" ”

Before the words fell, a stone bomb hit the women's wall not far away, smashing a section of the women's wall, debris flying sideways, more than a dozen Ming soldiers around were injured and fell to the ground, and Zhu Youlang was also smashed to the ground by a piece of masonry.

Fortunately, he was protected by chain mail and the injury was not serious, he got up and smiled contemptuously at the Qing army under the city: "The power of the Tartar cannons is nothing more than that, soldiers, let's also fire back and kill their majesty!" ”

The gunners of the Ming army were ordered, and they also fired artillery to return fire, but this time the Qing army learned a lesson, the queue was very sparse, and the killing power of the iron bullets fired by the artillery was not ideal, but it was not as effective as the artillery of the Qing army, which could destroy the city wall, create a gap, and facilitate their own access to the city.

The artillery shelling of the Qing army passed, "Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The drum sound changed again, and with the change of the drum, the crossbowmen of the Qing army bent their bows and arrows in unison, and fired thousands of arrows at Wuzhou City.

Under the cover of cannons and bows and crossbows, groups of Qing soldiers, holding rattan cards, carrying ladders, pushing and crashing cars, rushed to the root of the wall quickly and orderly, and the Qing soldiers were densely packed, wearing armor and holding knives and struggling to climb along the ladder. The Ming army rolled wood and stones, and the Qing army on the ladder screamed again and again, constantly being knocked off and smashed down, and the corpses were piled up under the ladder.

The Qing army under the city constantly urged the sergeants to attack: "Rush forward!" Rush up! Those who dare to retreat are slashed! Under the broadsword of the overseer, the Qing army braved the arrows and stones, and was driven to climb the ladder one by one, and saw that they were about to approach the battlements of the city wall.

The battlement mouth suddenly flew down several huge wolf tooth slaps, the wolf tooth slap was made of elm wood into a dustpan shape, which was nailed with wolf tooth iron nails, and the knife with sharp blades was embedded on all sides, and the knife entered the wood one and a half inches and a half, and several Qing soldiers close to the battlements were swept by the wolf tooth slap, and immediately their brains burst out, blood splashed, and a bone fell under the city, and they died on the spot.

A thousand generals of the Qing army, wearing a scarf, wearing three layers of iron armor, biting a steel knife in his mouth, climbing along the ladder, the wolf tooth slap and rolling stone and wood fallen by the Ming army were skillfully avoided, and the arrows and lead shot out were also blocked by its iron armor, unstoppable, and approached the battlement step by step.

The Ming army saw that he couldn't help it, so he held the fork rod, with the horizontal blade at the front end of the fork rod against the ladder, and then pushed it away, the first time the ladder shook, and was not pushed down, the Qing general stabilized his body, continued to climb, the Ming army couldn't help but increase his strength when he saw this, and when the Qing general was about to climb to the top, he finally forked the ladder and pushed it down, the Qing general on the ladder, including other Qing soldiers, had not had time to react, and fell down in a series of falls, the archers on and off the city, the firecrackers were still shooting at each other, the fire was everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky, They all want to suppress the opponent's offensive.

On the watchtower of the Chinese army, Li Chengdong saw that the casualties of the conventional ant-attached climbing city were too costly, so he decided to use a goose cart to dig the city wall, and if he could not break through the city, he would break through from under the city.

As the general orders continued to be conveyed, the first wave of attacking Qing troops retreated, and the second wave of Qing troops pushed five or six large goose carts, crossed the moat, and drove down the city.

Although the goose cart was wooden, the exterior was wrapped in iron sheets, and after the arrows of the Ming army hit the car body, they were all bounced back by the iron sheets, and the car body could not be damaged. There are dozens of Qing soldiers in each car, the body is equipped with wooden wheels on both sides, the Qing army pushes the car body in the car, seeing the goose car cross the moat, the Ming army is really powerless, and so on to the root of the wall, the Qing soldiers will use the shovel prepared in advance to dig the city wall.

After Zhai Shiyun reacted to Zhu Youlang, his face sank like water, and he said to the Ming army soldiers beside him: "The Tartars are cunning, and they want to use a goose cart to break through from under the city into the city, it's really wishful thinking!" Warriors, who dares to go out of the cave and destroy those goose carts for me! ”

"I want to go!"

"The minister is also willing to go!"

……

Wu Jisi, the commander of the Guards Battalion, Jiao Lian, the commander of the Huben Battalion, and his generals Bai Gui and Tang Wenyao all knelt on one knee and took the initiative to ask for orders.

Wu Jisi and Jiao Lian were commanders, and they couldn't take risks in person, so Zhu Youlang decided to select 30 people from among the others who voluntarily asked for their lives to carry out the mission.

"I am standing here, watching Zhu Qing make meritorious contributions to defeat the enemy and return triumphantly!"

Thirty warriors in heavy armor and spears and swords in their hands, after bidding farewell to the emperor, quickly ran down the city wall and rushed out of the cave of the hidden soldiers! At that moment, they all knew that after leaving the city, the enemy army would besiege them, and they would definitely die.

One person was desperate, ten people were difficult to beat, thirty Ming soldiers were fearless, the Qing army could not intercept them, they rushed to the goose cart in one breath, and pulled the wooden bolt of the trap that had been arranged in advance.

Listening to the sound of 'bang', like an earthquake, several goose carts suddenly shook, and then collapsed with a bang, sawdust and iron sheets flew wildly, the body of the car fell apart, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the Qing soldiers inside were crushed to death.
