"Woo! Woo! Woo! ……”

In the sound of a trumpet, the Qing soldiers carried and dragged the special siege wooden towers, braving the arrows, bullets, cannons, stones, etc. shot by the Ming army from the city, and bravely advanced to the city.

Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, under the cover of crossbowmen and musketeers, roared while dragging dozens of siege wooden towers to the moat under the city wall.

This kind of special siege wooden building, about 30 feet high, seven or eight feet wide at the bottom, gradually retracted, to the top to form a cloud ladder shape, Qing soldiers can go up along the wooden building, go straight to the battlements.

When the Qing soldiers arrived at the edge of the moat, they first filled the moat with a large amount of soil packed in cloth bags, and quickly filled the moat, so that the siege wooden tower could directly cross the moat and reach the city wall.

Subsequently, the Qing soldiers climbed desperately along the siege wooden towers and ladders. The Ming army on the city wall hurriedly threw the big stone from the city wall desperately, and many Qing soldiers were smashed by the stone and screamed "wow" and fell to the ground, but the Qing soldiers behind still continued to climb up desperately, and the battle was very miserable. For the Qing soldiers, as long as they broke through a city gate, victory was in hand. And the Ming army also understood that once the city was broken, it would mean death. Therefore, both sides are fighting desperately????

Tan Tai saw that the attack at the east gate was blocked, so he changed his tactics. He ordered the assault on the east gate to be changed to a feint, and tried to make the siege as loud as possible.

At the same time, he drew part of his forces from the east gate and joined the attack on the south gate, which he wanted to use as the main direction of attack.

The west and north gates of Nanchang City are against the Gan River, surrounded by water on both sides, and only the east gate and the south gate can be attacked by land???

After noon, after a full meal, the Qing soldiers launched a siege battle again.

This time, the Qing army used dozens or hundreds of Hongyi cannons of different calibers such as six-pound, eight-pound, and ten-pound, and carried out several waves of intense artillery bombardment before attacking the city, shelling the city walls, killing and wounding soldiers and at the same time undermining the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

The Ming army at the head of the city was not to be outdone. Dozens of old artillery pieces were also put out to fight back, although those guns were old, seriously aged, and their performance was far inferior to the Hongyi cannons of the Qing army under the city, but by virtue of the condescending advantage, they also fought well.

In addition to artillery, there are many large rockets such as flying guns, flying knives, and flying swords in the Ming army, which can go to 300 steps after burning 30 rounds, and large rockets such as 100 rounds of 100 rounds can reach more than one mile after burning.

With a loud thunderous sound exploded, a thick smoke rose from the head of Nanchang City, and the overwhelming rockets were whistling, with a fireworks track, like a shower of rain and wind, rushing towards the entire Qing army position, occupying a condescending advantage, many shot out several miles away, and the impact was amazing, killing and injuring many Qing soldiers, making them disgraced for a while.

Nanchang City is made of boulders, after being hit by the artillery of the Qing army, at most there are a few gaps, not to mention a large area of collapse, even a local collapse has not been.

At the beginning of the Ming army, whenever the city wall was damaged, it was immediately repaired by picking stones and building walls. Later, a sergeant suggested that Jin Shenghuan use the quilts of the residents of the city and the sacks full of chaff to spread them on the city tower layer by layer, when the Qing army artillery stones hit these sacks, the impact force can be significantly reduced, the damage to the city wall is even smaller, and even the small local gaps are difficult to make again.

Jin Shenghuan ordered the defenders to try it, and the effect was excellent, which greatly reduced the attack power of the Qing army's artillery.

After intensive shelling.

The Qing soldiers who attacked the east gate took the lead in attacking, and dozens of horns sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of Qing soldiers held their shields high and raised their knives to attack again????

Just after the battle at the East Gate started again, more than 30,000 Qing soldiers, under the personal command of Tan Tai, divided into dozens of roads under the city several miles long, dragged more than ten siege wooden towers and dozens of ladders, and launched an unusually fierce attack on the south gate. While resisting bravely, the Ming army asked for help from the commander Jin Shenghuan????.

After Jin Shenghuan learned the news of the Qing army's onslaught on the south gate, he immediately drew more than 2,000 archers from his own army and personally led this group of well-trained soldiers to rush to Nancheng.

Most of the Ming army's bird guns and three-eyed guns are of unqualified quality, the explosion rate is very high, and the price is still dead expensive, it is better to buy a musket than to buy a few bows and crossbows, gunpowder is also more difficult to get, even if there is money, there is nowhere to buy it now, so compared to the poor quality of the musket, at this time, whether it is the Ming army's feudal army or the Qing army's green battalion, it is generally more willing to use bows and arrows, knives and guns and other cold weapons.

Nearly ten miles from the east gate to the south gate, Jin Shenghuan rode a horse and galloped in the alley, while constantly sending heralds to transmit orders to all sides, he was very nervous along the way, lest he had not yet galloped to the south gate, and the Qing soldiers had already captured the city.

Fortunately, when he arrived at his destination, he saw that although the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the city gates had not yet fallen. Xiang Chaozuo, the general of the cronies, was nervously supervising the battle on the enemy tower, and when he saw the commander coming, he hurriedly said a few words, and then turned back to supervise the battle.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers had crossed the city, some leaning on the ladders, ready to seize the city, and the defenders were sinking into battle, and the arrows and stones they had caught in their hands poured down the city like a downpour, and they repelled the Qing soldiers again and again, leaving them with many corpses, and in some places the corpses were stacked horizontally and vertically, stacked into several layers.

It's just that the arrows and stones are limited, but the Qing soldiers ignore the casualties, and continue to pounce on the city root one after another, and the Qing generals who supervise the battle behind the battle pick up the big sticks, and can't help but say, sweeping and hitting the retreating Qing soldiers, they retreat from the next batch and pour up a batch, and then advance and then again, and then again, the situation is indeed very critical.

When the soldiers and civilians in Nancheng saw that the commander personally arrived with elite reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted. Jin Shenghuan immediately ordered two thousand archers to shoot fiercely at the Qing soldiers, the soldiers were numerous, the arrows were concentrated, and the shooting method was extraordinary, and under the attack of arrows like rain, a large number of Qing soldiers who were climbing the city were shot down under the city.

There are archers with superb archery skills, in line with the idea of capturing thieves and capturing kings, condescendingly aimed at the generals behind the battle formation under the city, and also shot dead and wounded a few, causing the chaotic retreat of the Qing soldiers.

At this time, the city and the city all saw clearly that there was a short-dressed Manchurian general, with a beard on his face, tall and strong, wearing three layers of iron armor, wearing a scarf, a tiger tooth knife and a big knife stuck behind his back, holding a ladder knife in his hand, and a short axe and angry horse protruding, rushing straight to the root of the city, trying to stabilize the morale of the army and reorganize the attack.

These are all commonly used weapons by the Eight Banners. The ladder knife is two feet six minutes long, and it is a special weapon for siege purposes, and the sword and short axe are no more than two feet, and can also be used when climbing the ladder.
