Chapter 176: The Battle of Phi Dao VIII
Qiu Minyang commanded the defenders and began to load the city gate with things, sandbags, boulders, etc., "Quick! Over there! Fork their ladder down! ”
Although the defense of Tianjin City seems to be relatively hasty, but after all, there is still some background, and it is obviously impossible to take this big city at once, and seeing that there is still no progress in the attack for nearly an hour, Tokugawa Tadanaga looked a little anxious.

Shuo couldn't help but slap Tokugawa Tadashi and said, "I said brother! You're too slow, aren't you? Just these cannons haven't been brought up yet? And those rushing cars, catapults, all let them go faster, how long has it been? ”
As soon as he spoke, there was a commotion in the rear of the army, and it turned out that as soon as Shuo Yu finished shouting, those equipment were moved, and Tokugawa Tadashi was immediately overjoyed, and he was busy and began to command, "Over there!" Right! Artillery on the table, cover the gunners, right! Over there, catapults are fast! ”
All the arrangements were being carried out in an orderly manner, and in the city of Tianjin, Tianjin Governor Feng Yuanbiao finally came to the city wall panting, and before he had time to take a breath, he suddenly only heard "Boom!" There was a loud bang. Feng Yuanbiao suddenly stumbled, and the soldiers hurried to help him, "My lord!" Are you alright?"
Feng Yuanbiao staggered to his feet, shook his head and said, "It's okay!" Then he saw Qiu Minyang who was hurrying and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Qiu Minyang shook his head heavily: "Lord Governor! The situation is not optimistic! ”
Feng Yuanbiao frowned and said, "What about the people in the guard?" Not here yet? ”
Qiu Minyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, Feng Yuanbiao then turned his head and ordered: "Go quickly, let them come quickly!" ”
Qiu Min thought for a while and said, "My lord! If you don't go down, you will command the defense of this city! ”
Feng Yuanbiao looked at him, and finally nodded and said, "Okay!" Then please! ”
Qiu Min nodded, and then said, "My lord! There is also an elite of the imperial court over there in the shipyard, you quickly send someone over and let General Fu Zonglong lead people over to support! ”
Feng Yuanbiao suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "That's right!" Right! Right! Then do it! You go! After speaking, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to the shipyard to ask for reinforcements, and took over Qiu Minyang's command and began to command the soldiers to defend the city.
The artillery barrels of the city defense have been red, and it is obvious that it has been on the verge of collapse and cannot be used again, the soldiers on the city wall can no longer organize a large number of enemy attacks using bows and arrows, wood, stones, grenades, 10,000 enemies, etc., the enemy's ladders have been densely pressed against the city wall, and the Japanese soldiers and Tartar soldiers have gradually climbed the city wall under the cover of artillery and archers, and the siege has gradually begun to develop like hand-to-hand combat.
"Go on! Put! "The artillery roared, the boulders flew, the city walls continued to crack under their bombardment, and the rubble was splashed everywhere, and the corners of Tokugawa Tadadenaga's mouth couldn't help but hook up an arc when he saw it." Over there! Kill them with the old man and press them down! Feng Yuanbiao pulled out the saber on the guard's body and rushed over, but it made the soldiers stunned, a civilian official is still an old man, can he still afford to kill the enemy with a knife? But no matter what, the governor has gone up, can he not go up? Immediately, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they followed Feng Yuanbiao towards the gap to kill, and for a while, the sound of killing was everywhere, and flesh and blood were flying.
Just when the city defense of Tianjin City was already in jeopardy, at this time in the Tianjin guardhouse, the soldiers were in a mess, wanting to go to reinforcements, no one took the lead, don't go, when the court blamed them, they couldn't eat and walk, just at this time, Qiu Min rushed in, looking at the chaotic guard, but also stunned for a while, is it possible that this place is attacked? It's not like that! But one of the soldiers was still caught and asked, "What about the royal commander?" What about Wei Tongzhi? What about the other adults? ”
"Oops! It's Deputy Envoy Qiu! We're looking for it, too! Isn't that something I haven't found? The soldier pointed to the chaotic guard.
"The situation is critical, how many people are still here?" Qiu Minyang asked.
"Lord Vice-Chancellor, these thirteen,000 brothers are here, and some of them are outside, aren't they all waiting for orders?" The soldier said.
"I can't care so much, call all the brothers to come with me! Fast! I've got something to take care of! The hill man said.
"Howler!" The soldier said and began to order, and soon, the chaotic guard station quieted down, and all the guards followed the hill people to the city gate, even if they didn't fight to show their faces, it was always good to blame them, so that the court blamed it was none of their business, and here, if the top blamed it, wouldn't there still be the hill people to bear? All the soldiers thought so.
When Qiu Min led people to run towards the city gate, he suddenly saw the other side of the road, a team of people and horses also rushed towards the city gate, and saw that Fu Zonglong was leading the reinforcements to the city gate, Qiu Min ran on his back and arched his hand towards Fu Zonglong, and Fu Zonglong also returned the salute from a distance and continued to hurry, just when the two arrived at the city gate, they only heard a loud noise, the city gate was blown to pieces, and then the things blocked in the door were blown up and smashed after a while, and the mud and sand were splashed, which made the reinforcements who rushed to be stunned, and then looked up at the city wall, At this time, the two armies had already been fighting together, and Feng Yuanbiao's figure was no longer visible.
Fu Zonglong pointed to the city wall above and said, "Deputy Envoy Qiu, you take people up, and Fu Mou will hold it below." ”
Qiu Minyang didn't talk nonsense, arched his hand, transferred some people for Fu Zonglong to take, and he took others to kill directly at the entrance of the city, Fu Zonglong commanded the soldiers to start the formation, "The musketeers are in formation, and the archers are ready!" Fu Zonglong shouted, and the soldiers began to line up in an orderly manner according to their usual training, looking at the city gate and waiting for them.
Soon, the smoke at the city gate dissipated, the shouting of killing sounded from the city gate, and the black shadow gradually appeared, and then gradually the black shadow filled the entire city gate, dense, making people can't help but feel numb when they see it, Fu Zonglong waved his big hand and said: "Fire!" Suddenly, the musketeer picked at the plate machine in his hand, bang! The continuous musket fire caused the excited Japanese soldiers who had entered the city to fall to the ground, and their bodies still maintained a happy posture, but their souls had already returned to Huangquan.
"Archer cooperation! Pitchers prepare grenades and can't let them get close! Put! Fu Zonglong continued to command, although the musket of the three-stage shot could basically shoot non-stop, but after all, there were too few musketeers and too many enemy troops, so Fu Zonglong recruited archers to help, and soldiers with good arm strength threw grenades to help suppress the enemy.
"Whoosh!" Bows and arrows galloped, many enemy soldiers were just fortunate to have escaped the deadly shooting, and before they had time to be happy, they were shot by swords, and then followed their comrades in front of them to another world as companions, and some soldiers were fortunate to dodge muskets and bows and arrows but were finally hit by grenades or even 10,000 enemies, and the bones remained, and the scene was very bloody.
"Quick, spread out on both sides!" The commander of the enemy army shouted.
"Humph! Bet on! With a wave of Fu Zonglong's hand, the soldiers who had already been in battle rushed forward, pulled out their weapons and marched forward, they had no way to retreat, because behind them was their homeland, where were their wives and children, their parents, villagers and brothers and sisters, and they knew what would happen to their closest people if the city fell.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Ming army roared, even those soldiers who were originally going to show their faces had already put down their casual mentality and began to fight hard, this city that had not been stained with blood for I don't know how many years gradually began to be stained with blood, and began to slowly wake up in the fire, in blood and tears.
Looking at the battlefield that had not progressed for a long time, and even the soldiers who had already attacked the city were gradually retreating, this situation couldn't help but make Tokugawa Tadanaga and Shuoto frown, "It can't go on like this!" Shuoto frowned.
"This is close to the city gate, just this opening, other places have been blocked, the Ming army's reaction is also relatively fast, the top has not been completely taken yet, the Ming army under the city is higher than the city, and the city gate is not easy to deploy, and the Ming army is prepared! It's hard! Tokugawa Tadashi said.
"This battle can only be solved quickly! Don't get caught up in a protracted war! It's impossible to take the city quickly! There are 20,000 of us, and we have already bet 15,000 people, and it is not good to go up again! Shuoto muttered.
"Why don't I lead someone to rush up and fight him again?!" Tokugawa Tadashi looked at the castle that seemed to be about to be captured but seemed to be unable to be captured.
Now that the two armies at the head of the castle were in a mixed up, Tokugawa Tadanaga had ordered the shelling to stop in order to avoid accidental damage.
"You heard that the alarm bell has sounded in the city, presumably the people of Tianjin will also participate in the future, and reinforcements from other places will also come one after another, and we will only be detrimental to us if we spend another afternoon!" Shuoto groaned.
"And you mean the withdrawal?" Tokugawa Tadanaga wondered.
"Let's go! It's not for nothing to destroy the fort outside, next time we'll come to another place! Shuoto said decisively.
"But we're all in there!" Tokugawa Tadashi said with some unwillingness.
"That's what you call attacking?" Tokugawa Tadanaga pointed to the soldier who was still blocked in the doorway.
Tokugawa Tadanaga suddenly pursed his lips in embarrassment, and finally reluctantly ordered the merger, "Woo! Woo! Woo! "The trumpet sounds! When the enemy heard the order to withdraw the army, he immediately understood that tonight was in vain, and his heart, which was already half cold, suddenly became cold, but no matter what, it was still an orderly retreat, but it did not give the Ming army a chance to pursue.
"Kill!" The red-eyed Ming soldiers wanted to chase them out, but they were also called back by the horn of the withdrawal of troops, Fu Zonglong said to the soldiers: "Poor Kou Mo chase!" Then he began to arrange for the soldiers to put the city in order.
And Qiu Minyang, who was on the city wall, saw the enemy retreating, and immediately sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, and after a while, he collapsed as if he remembered something, and shouted: "Lord Governor! ”
