Pingyang caught fire, but Tang Xidong didn't look at it and knew that the fire couldn't be burned.

Daming will not burn down a city of his own, but will only be busy making trouble and taking the opportunity to steal the city.

The four gates of Pingyang City, Tang Xi can't defend them in the east, his only way is to block the three, leaving the east gate that leads directly to the official road, will the Ming army definitely attack at the east gate?

He guessed that it would be, because only the east side of Binh Duong City had the smallest fire.

At night, the firelight illuminates behind him, and the city in front of him is dark.

A hundred companies pretended to stand guard on the city, while many more hid behind the battlements and waited quietly for the unknown enemy.

From Tang Sanxian, the four of them were chased by the fifty cavalry of the Ming army, and they were still able to escape to Pingyang City.

Tang Xidong guessed the other party's purpose: to divert the tiger from the mountain!

As long as you remember one thing, Pingyang City is what the other party values, and everything is easy to guess.

Half an hour has passed since the chaos in the city, and Tang Xidong doesn't know what the scene of Pingyang City behind him is, and he doesn't want to know, because at this moment the Ming army has already appeared under the city.

There are no lights, no horses, only black shadows trying to be silent, touching Pingyang City.

Tang Xidong smiled, as long as there is really a Ming army stealing the city, then everything will be expected by him, and he has a seventy percent chance of winning tonight's war.

The Ming army had already touched nearly a hundred steps, but the people in the city pretended not to know, and the people in the city thought it was going well.

Seventy paces, just as the Ming army tore off its camouflage and was about to approach quickly, a human head appeared on the city.

The crossbow guns were aimed at the city.

"Shoot!"

With an order, five waves of arrows rained down, bypassing the sword and shield hands in front of them, and penetrating directly into the firearms soldiers behind them.

Screaming repeatedly, lying down.

Seeing that the city was prepared, the firearms soldiers dodged in a panic, while the sword and shield men continued to approach in the face of the rain of arrows.

At this moment, in the distance, fifteen artillery pieces fired in unison and smashed into the city wall.

Suddenly, the ground shook and the sky shook, and the two thousand companies on the entire city wall were unstable, and the offensive suddenly stopped.

The first wave of artillery bombardment of the Ming army was already very accurate, and it was directly blasted to the city wall, but fortunately, the city wall of Pingyang City was still strong, and it was not collapsed and damaged under the bombardment of more than ten iron bullets.

But the attack of the company in the city was interrupted by artillery bombardment, giving the Ming army under the city time to react.

In just a few breaths, the Ming army, which was scattered in formation, had already regrouped.

The two sides began to fire at each other up and down the walls.

However, the Ming army had greater firepower, and two thousand sword and shield men covered more than a thousand firecrackers, firing in sections, and soon the city was suppressed and could not raise its head.

Coupled with the constant firing of artillery in the distance, the company members on the entire city wall could only be turtles with shrunken heads.

Fortunately, the artillery of the Ming army was too far away, and it seemed that a series of three artillery shells were bombarded in the middle of the city wall, which was obviously the limit of the range.

But people are alive, and Tang Xidong knows that the other party will soon move forward and increase the range of the gun.

Through the battlements, there were no less than 5,000 people under the city.

Tang Xidong's face became solemn, it was not easy to fight today.

The firecrackers under the city continued to suppress, and the entire city wall occasionally returned fire, but often every time they fought back, they were greeted by a more aggressive suppression by the other party.

When Tang Xidong was at a loss, he saw two sections of the horseshoe-shaped city wall extending from the rope by the sword and shield hands of the Ming army, and then there were several black shadows climbing under the city wall.

The siege began.

Not long after, the sword and shield men who had climbed into the air screamed and fell one after another, apparently the members of the city team found the rope hanging on the battlements and cut them directly.

Tang Xidong's heart was slightly relieved, but in the next second, the sound of cannons came from the distance again, and a series of firelight crossed the sky and bombarded the two sections of the city wall fiercely, this time directly smashing into the middle city, and the bricks and stones were scattered in an instant, and the bones of twenty or thirty team members were directly under the shelling.

The entire city wall was almost flattened by artillery, and a few battlements appeared to be alone.

When Tang Xidong saw the tragic scene, there was uncontrollable anger and murderous intent in his eyes.

The opponent's firepower is too strong, and there is nothing he can do.

Originally, there were also fortified artillery in Pingyang City, but firstly, there was a danger of exploding, and secondly, Tang Xidong looked down on it in his heart, and planned to bring a squad of artillery on the mountain after a while.

It's a pity that before he could arrange it, the Ming army called.

At this moment, I secretly regret in my heart, why didn't I use these old guns in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have been as passive as I am now.

The members of the city were killed and wounded, and the sword and shield bearers of the Ming army once again hung ropes and climbed up.

This time, Tang Xidong didn't dare to let the team members go up to death again.

The opponent's artillery attack is to eat and live without his own people in the city, and once he continues to send people to attack, he will inevitably be bombarded by the opponent's artillery, but he will just bury his life in vain.

However, as long as these officers and soldiers climbed the city wall, the artillery would inevitably be muted.

But when you put the sword and shield in your hand, you will face hand-to-hand combat.

Tang Xidong gritted his teeth viciously and ordered everyone to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

This group of company members is the earliest group of cottages, and they have experienced the defense of Luoliang Mountain, at least they will not be afraid of battle.

Moreover, the crossbow guns equipped by the members of the company were hung with bayonets after being remodeled, and they also trained hard to fight with bayonets on weekdays.

Tang Xidong hoped that everyone could hold on and wait for reinforcements from outside the city to arrive.

The sword and shield men of the Ming army finally attacked, killing along the two sections of the city wall.

The two sides began to sink into hand-to-hand combat.

Tang Xidong consciously asked the company members to make room and put the opponent's sword and shield hands.

In this way, the firepower of the firecrackers under the city will be relatively weakened.

Seventy or eighty sword and shield men had already poured into the city.

Both sides are Luoliang Mountain players, this time Tang Xidong still used the old tactics in the Luoliang Mountain defense battle, let the other party go to the city, and then shoot and kill.

Although the tactics are still old tactics, it is obvious that for this group of Ming troops, they have not yet experienced it.

After the rain of arrows, the city was full of corpses, and the depression in Tang Xidong's heart was released, at least he didn't have to be blindly suppressed by the officers and soldiers, and he had the strength to fight back.

A steady stream of Ming sabers and shields poured up the city wall, but the company members stubbornly guarded the lower entrance of the city wall leading to the city gate, and the two sides began to come and go, from the city, the Ming army was in a good situation, but the casualties of the sword and shield men on the city were huge.

It wasn't until the opponent's musketeers began to storm the walls and launch an attack that the company was re-suppressed.

After the firepower of the firecrackers was reorganized, it also heralded the breakdown of Tang Xidong's tactics of inviting the king into the urn.

Next, they could only fight hard, and ordered the team to press up, and the two sides began to fiercely attack around the crossing of the extended horseshoe wall.

The battle has lasted for two incense sticks, and the company has been killed and wounded to 20%, of which 70% were killed and wounded by the Ming army's firearms, and the Ming army has nearly 1,000 casualties.

In siege battles, there are city walls to rely on, and the casualties on both sides are often like this, several times more than one.

But obviously, the Ming army in front of him had amazing combat effectiveness, not only successfully attacking the city, but also blindly suppressing it from beginning to end.

The reason why there were about 1,000 casualties was that in addition to the sudden killing of the initial wave of companies, it was Tang Xidong's retreat shooting tactics that had an effect.

But after the tactics are broken, the next step is to live or die.

The entire city wall began to sink into a rhythm of crossbow guns and firebolts.

But after a steady stream of Ming troops filled the horseshoe city wall, the Ming army began to approach forward.

Tang Xidong's company had no choice but to retreat step by step.

At the forefront of the officers and soldiers were the sword and shield bearers, followed by the fire guns.

When the confrontation reached a certain point in time, a steady stream of officers and soldiers burst into the city wall and then pressed up on the company members on both sides of the city wall.

The white-knuckle battle began.

The two sides slashed swords.
