There is not much oil in the state city, most of it is taken out by the people of Wuzhou from home, even so, the total amount is still very small, and there is no way to distribute it to the various buttresses, so it can only be used in the most needed place such as the gap in the southwest corner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the southwest corner was the key place for Li Chengdong to conquer, in order to contain the Ming army's defending forces, he launched attacks on the west, south, and east.

This is the advantage of the superiority of troops, 4,000 headquarters of the old soldiers, plus 30,000 troops of each department, although a lot of people have been lost before, the total number is still more than 20,000, Wuzhou can be divided into thousands of troops, each direction can be according to the changes in the battlefield situation, or the main attack, or a detailed attack, so that the Ming army guards take care of one or the other.

After the siege for most of the day, both the Ming army and the Qing army tried their best, one defended to the death, one attacked wildly, the three walls of Wuzhou, almost every battlement fell into a tug-of-war, especially the gap in the southwest corner, the battle between the two sides was particularly fierce.

In order to plug the gap and re-build the defensive wall battlements, the young and strong people in the city were in groups of more than a dozen people, using poles and hemp ropes to pick up some large stones that were finally found, they shouted loudly, and walked up to the southwest city head step by step, using all their strength to block the stones at the gap in the city wall.

The Qing army finally made a big gap in the southwest corner of the state city, how could they be allowed to do that, as the flag waved, arrows and lead bullets poured into the southwest corner like flying locusts.

The young and strong people have no armor to protect themselves, coupled with the lack of protection of the female wall, they have been hit by arrows, planted from the city, these young and strong people are mostly fathers, sons and brothers go into battle together, and some people cry from time to time in the miserable screams: "Daddy, brother......" They clenched their teeth with tears, gritted their teeth, one died and one replaced, and continued to move the stone to plug the gap.

The faces of the Ming soldiers next to the gap turned red, and they silently tried their best to cover them with the rattan cards and swords in their hands, slashing and killing the Qing soldiers who were rising. But the Qing soldiers were shot one after another, and the offensive was getting stronger and stronger, and the stones could not plug the gap in a short time, and they saw that more than a dozen fierce Qing soldiers were about to climb up to the city.

"Brothers, fight with those two Tartars! Let's swear to die and not be slaves to the country! A Ming soldier, who was seriously injured and unable to fight again, shouted loudly.

"Swear not to be a slave to the country!" Dozens of Ming soldiers responded violently, and even the young and strong people put down and continued to pile up stones, and they pounced on the Qing soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the city, and in the miserable screams of the Qing soldiers, they hugged and rolled down the city wall together, and fell into meat mud......

This tragic siege battle focusing on the southwest gap lasted for a whole day, until the sun set, both sides were exhausted, and the Qing soldiers were unwilling to retreat.

As the sun set, Zhu Youlang stood alone at the head of the city, quietly looking at the Qing army camp outside the city. After a whole day of assault regardless of casualties, the Qing army was also extremely tired, and the wailing of the camp and the shouting of officers and colonels could be faintly heard in the camp.

Looking back at the city, there were wounded soldiers everywhere under the corners, and some of the corpses that had died in battle before they could be collected.

Zhu Youlang turned his back and couldn't bear to look at it again.

The sound of footsteps, Wu Jihei, who was responsible for supporting the southwest corner, was in a mess, and walked up to the city with difficulty and slowly, and when he arrived at Zhu Youlang, he knelt down and said sadly: "Minister Wu Jihei handed over the order!" ”

Seeing that he was covered in blood, Zhu Youlang suddenly had a bad premonition, gently held up Wu Jihei, and asked in a trembling voice: "Aiqing, what about the other brocade forbidden army?" ”

Wu Jisi pointed back and sobbed: "The surviving brothers are all here!" ”

Zhu Youlang followed his gaze, and although he had been prepared, he was still taken aback. I saw more than a dozen bloodied figures staggering in his direction, getting closer, only to see that everyone was scarred, and the remaining more than 100 brocade forbidden troops after the palace change, except for more than 30 who had been close to him, he never expected that there would be only a dozen people left in a bloody battle.

This battle was really tragic, not only the Guards Battalion suffered heavy casualties, but the main force Jiao Lian also suffered serious losses, and the remaining more than 3,000 horses and horses, after the war, there were only less than 2,050 left, and the casualties of the patrol battalion and the young and strong people were very large. The four walls of the entire Wuzhou City can be divided into less than 4,000 guards, and even the most important southwest corner gap can be divided into less than 600 guards.

The Ming army was like this, the Qing army as the side of the siege was even more miserable, this battle Li Chengdong alone headquarters of the old soldiers were killed and wounded more than 400, the various departments of the army was killed more than 3,000, if not its tactics are proper, blameless, plus the army for a long time, the authority is deep, the army even has the worry of mutiny.

Li Chengdong attacked the city at such a cost, desperately working for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this was what Zhu Youlang did not expect, when he thought of the bloody battle in the daytime, he still had palpitations, the Qing army was so powerful, he did not dare to guarantee whether the next attack on Wuzhou City could be held.

After the evening meal, the sky was already dark, and the torches were lit at the head of Wuzhou City, and under the illumination of hundreds of torches, the sky above the city was like day.

An hour later, the lights of the Qing camp outside the city were bright, the horns were whining, and the Qing soldiers who had taken a short rest came out of the camp again and assembled under the city, the array was orderly, as solemn and solemn as the day.

Li Chengdong was determined to conquer the city this time, and only a few hundred old and weak soldiers were left in the camp, and all the soldiers of the army were brought to the city and attacked the city together.

The night breeze was bleak, the torches were blazing, and the Ming army took their places after a full meal, holding their swords, guns, bows and crossbows, staring at the Qing army under the city, ready to meet the fierce battle at night.

At this moment, the cannon sounded, the whole Wuzhou city was like an earthquake, a shaking, Zhu Youlang and Zhai Shiyun, Jiao Lian and others looked at the southwest corner, but saw that the night sky in the southwest corner was fiery red, like a volcanic eruption, and the rumbling shelling sound was still in the ears when it reached the south city.

Zhu Youlang turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Jiao Aiqing quickly led the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion to the southwest corner!" ”

Jiao Lian also knew that the southwest corner must be very critical now, and after receiving the holy oracle, he flew and ran under the city wall, and then ordered five hundred mobile soldiers from the headquarters, and galloped towards the southwest corner.

When the group arrived at the southwest city wall, they could see the rain of arrows and arrows on the head of the city, and a large number of young and strong people handed wood and stones to fully support the soldiers to resist the enemy.

All the women's walls in the southwest corner have been razed, the craters on the city wall have collapsed in many places, the wolf's tooth beater, night fork and other equipment to defend the city have also been damaged, and the corners of the wall are full of stumps and broken arms.
