Nine soldiers wore cotton armor, wore iron helmets on their heads, and on the iron helmets were inserted a two-foot-high carved feather, with two knives and axes, bows and arrows hanging from their waists, and carrying swords.

The head of the full general named Tagu, the orthodox white armor soldier was born, starting from the lowest level of armor, fighting without fear of death, Tiancong became Baya Lazhuang Da (captain) for three years, beheaded the general of the Ming Dynasty, promoted to Jia Lazhangjing, accumulated military exploits for more than ten years, and successively awarded, promoted, and served as the world's Niulu Zhangjing, and each siege or field battle showed very bravery.

Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly, and just as the leading leaders managed to dodge the rubble thrown by the defenders, the attack suddenly stopped on the city.

For this change, Tagu and his own soldiers, who had climbed most of the ladder, felt very lucky, and they all made the same misjudgment at the same time: the defenders had just run out of sleepers and stones, so they had to stop attacking and replenish them, which meant that now was the best time to rush to the castle tower in one fell swoop!

So these ten Eight Banner warriors began to climb up as fast as they could.

Finally, when they were about to reach the city, Tagu, who was the first to see the inside of the city wall, was surprised to find that what he saw was not the defenders who were scrambling to find and carry the wood and stones, but a row of snow-white and sharp spears and the Ming soldiers who were waiting for the moment when they showed their heads.

With the uniform stabbing action and the screams that followed, Tagu's nine pro-soldiers were killed and wounded three times in a moment, and the Qing soldiers who climbed up with them were not in much better condition. Some were hit by arrows, some were beheaded by large axes, some were thrown off ladders and fell into meatloaf, some were burned to death by rockets, and so on.

Seeing this, Tagu's eyes were about to split, and he almost wanted to go crazy!

Pulling out the big knife from the back, it was a sweep, cutting off more than a dozen spears at once, making the Ming army's offensive blunt.

Whether they slashed with knives or stabbed with spears, the Ming soldiers were powerless because they could not penetrate Tagu's heavy armor.

Seeing that Tagu had stepped onto the battlements and slashed at the Ming army in the city, someone shouted loudly: "Stab him in the face!" The defenders then hailed Tagu in the face with their guns.

Although Tagu relied on the heavy armor on his body to fight alone in the city, he became more and more courageous, and once made the city defenders almost helpless, and many people were killed and wounded.

Until someone reminded him to find Tagu's weak gate, the soldiers defending the city quickly grasped the initiative in the battle, while Tagu was protecting his face with his hands, a defender next to him took the opportunity to hook his armor with a hook and sickle, and successfully hooked him down, and then held an iron hook and sickle, and cut off his throat with force, while another guard took out a waist knife and cut off his head by the way. After Taghu's death, his body fell to the city.

At the moment when his body fell under the city, the remaining few personal soldiers did not care about going to the city, they ran to the city together like crazy to grab the corpse, the defenders of the city took advantage of this opportunity to drum in unison, with masonry bows and arrows to launch a fierce attack on the Qing soldiers under the city, several tiger squat cannons were loaded with scattered bullets, fired in unison, hundreds of cannons rained down, causing a lot of casualties of the Qing soldiers at once, the Qing soldiers were in chaos, and retreated in embarrassment.

At this point, the local crisis has eased, but the battle on the side is still very fierce, the Qing soldiers seem to have chosen several attack points under each city wall, as long as one is successful, climb the city tower, you can disperse the defenders, seize the city gate, and put the brigade of men.

In the face of the mobile attack of the Qing soldiers, Jin Shenghuan was not fixed stationed somewhere, he took thousands of pro-army generals, took the city, saw the fierce battle, and ordered the pro-soldiers to go to help the battle, and at the same time inspired the soldiers, bravely kill the enemy, the soldiers all fought, found the target of the attack and shot an arrow, as well as with shotguns, three-eyed guns, and even sagile wood, rocket attacks, and strive to repel the Qing soldiers.

Dozens of artillery pieces also played a role in killing and injuring the enemy, these old and bulky guns were loaded with cannons, and they used to attack the enemy from a long distance and disrupt their attack.

After a burst of artillery bombardment and arrows, the Qing soldiers inside the moat were killed and injured a lot, and the Qing soldiers outside the moat were also bombarded to be untenable, and they retreated one after another, and the ladders left in the city roots and trenches could not be moved, and the Ming army under the city was a fire, burning them to ashes, and the flames rose to the sky, covering the day, in the chaotic retreat of the Qing soldiers, these warriors and volunteers who went down the city dared to cross the Hao to pursue, covering up and killing the rout, so that the Qing soldiers left a large number of corpses and fled in a hurry.

On this day, the Qing soldiers attacked the east gate and the south gate, and the attack on the south gate was the most urgent, Jin Shenghuan's capable generals such as deputy generals Wu Gao and Liu Yipeng, and the general Gai Yushi were almost all dispatched, and there was no major battle at the east gate, and the deputy general Xiang Chaozuo was also transferred to the south gate to supervise the battle.

The battle between the two sides was unprecedentedly fierce, from the morning to the time of the unitary, the Qing soldiers who attacked suffered relatively large losses, more than 4,000 Qing soldiers and many soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Ming army also suffered considerable losses, some city towers were filled with countless arrows, and the cannons blasted out big holes, and almost nearly 1,000 defenders and civilians were shot dead and wounded by the archers of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners who were good at cavalry and archery.

Tan Tai saw that it was getting late and still couldn't win, so he had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again in the coming day.

Since the entry of Manchuria, the regent Dolgon has set a national policy of driving dogs and wolves, trying to avoid the loss of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and preserve his strength.

Whenever the Qing army fought with the Ming army, the first wave of pioneer green battalions fought.

The Green Battalion was the most basic and main regular army of the Qing court.

The population base of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too small, the total number of Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banner soldiers is only about 100,000 people, plus the troops of Kong Youde, Wu Sangui and others, the core strength is only more than 200,000, and the strength is not enough after entering the customs, so the green camp traitor army is vigorously developed, and the Han army that surrendered one after another after entering the customs is unified into the green battalion.

The military system of the Green Battalion imitated the suppression system of the Ming Army, and the officers were also set up according to a series of official positions such as general soldier, deputy general, staff general, guerrilla, etc., and the soldiers at the lowest level were divided into horsemen, warriors and defenders. (The Green Battalion guards are generally responsible for escorting baggage and building camps, and are also the reserve of the soldiers.) ）

The second wave drove the tribesmen of various ethnic groups in the Northeast or the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to fight, the third wave drove the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and finally the main force of the Eight Banners of Manchuria went into battle.

Driving the cannon fodder to fill in the ditch and siege the city and trenches, the masters of the Eight Banners of Manchuria have a lot of experience.

After today's fierce battle, it seems that the Qing army has suffered more than 4,000 casualties in one day, but in fact, most of them are miscellaneous cards in the green camp, a small number of Han Eight Banners and foreign armor people, and the number of casualties among the real Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners is small, but hundreds, until the most critical moment, they will not easily fight, only supervise the battle in front of the battle, or press the rear army.

For the princes of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, those green battalion soldiers are insignificant at all, as long as they give money and food, they can eat as much as they want, and they have to recruit as many people, as for the people in armor, when they are consumed, they will go to the deep mountains and old forests to catch them, as long as most of the Eight Banners and Banners are not lost, everything is not a problem.
