The Hongyi cannon is still bombarding the city wall, and at the head of Jinan City, there are occasionally a few points of smoke and dust, which looks very loud. But on a majestic city of Nuoda, it is not worth mentioning at all.

After many days of fighting, the blue bricks on the wall facing the Qing army in the west were full of black spots, and I don't know whether it was human blood or traces of flames.

Everywhere there were shouts of killing, and the ant-like crowd rushed forward, stirring up waves under the city walls.

But no matter how fierce the Qing army was, this ferocious wave would be shattered by the reef ahead.

The ladders were erected at the head of the city, and they were pushed down one by one by the long poles of the Ming army defending the city.

The crockpots filled with fire oil were thrown down like raindrops, and there were Qing soldiers rolling around on the ground covered in fire.

Of course, the life of the Ming army at the head of the wall was not easy, and people were constantly being beaten down by siege weapons.

Black dots fell one after another, like autumn leaves.

Life is so fragile at this moment that it's too late to even let out a sigh.

Unlike the Jianzhou warriors who were in the same wave as the previous wave, the people in the back were more numerous, looking like more than 30,000, and the black pressure covered the plain, and there was no edge in sight.

Each of them took simple farm tools in their hands and planed them separately on the ground, and a long fence made of earth spread left and right at a speed visible to the naked eye

。

"Dangdang, dang!" There was a sound of gongs, and the Qing army, which had been attacking the city very urgently just now, retreated in an instant.

Then, the people who had been driven dry by their weapons rushed forward with dirt bags on their backs.

The moat had already been filled in with several wide passages, and a dirt slope slowly stretched upwards under the walls.

The defenders above did not care whether the people below were of the same clan or whether they were coerced by the slaves, and they beat them down with bows and arrows, gunpowder, and rolling stones.

The people below didn't even have time to scream, and they fell to the ground.

The corpses accumulated on the dirt slope in white flowers, emitting a stench of burning.

But the people still rushed forward numbly.

Yue Tuo stood on a high earthen ram and looked calmly ahead.

But the Jianzhou soldiers around him all had tense faces, and some even showed admiration on their faces.

I have to admit that the bravery of the defenders in Jinan City and the resoluteness of the generals defending the city exceeded their expectations.

This was the first time that the Qing soldiers tried to break a provincial capital city with brute force, especially without artillery cooperation, and they could only use the primitive tactics of ant attachment to attack the city.

And the death, injury and cruelty of the ant-attached siege city are even more crimes of cold weapon warfare.

If it is a field battle, one side fails, the soldiers can turn around and run away, as long as the feet are fast enough, the physical strength is good enough, and they can run past their comrades, there is a possibility of escaping. But if you are surrounded in the city, the day the city is broken, it will be a situation where the whole city will die.

Rabbits will bite people when they are forced to be in a hurry, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinan City, who have enough food, straw, baggage and equipment, and can turn the residents of the city into soldiers at any time.

Jinan has accumulated enough grain for 200,000 people to eat for a year, and its fortification even exceeds that of Jianzhou and Shenyang. As soon as the Qing army began to attack, it suffered a lot.

Of course, the Han dogs are all cowardly, and the number of people who died is naturally several times that of the Jianzhou warriors

。

But as the war gradually dragged on, the Han people in the city slowly became stronger, and the city was defended decently.

The casualties of the Jianzhou soldiers gradually increased.

Just four days ago, Yue Tuo concentrated the elite of the 100 Lama Ya Army in his hand and broke through the outer city regardless of casualties. But at the location of the urn city, the defenders of Jinan counterattacked. Under the leadership of a Ming civil official, more than a thousand Han Chinese poured out of the inner city, instantly filling the empty space between the urn city and the inner city.

People are crowded, and even the most elite Jianzhou men are helpless.

After the first battle, almost all the 100 Jianzhou men were lost in the city.

According to the withdrawn soldiers, the open space between the two walls had been completely filled with corpses. Human blood spilled to the instep of the human foot, cooled and frozen.

And the Han dog is simply like dying, a Jianzhou warrior has to face ten enemies at the same time. As soon as the weapon in his hand slashed a Han dog, he was hugged by several other enemies who rushed up and fell to the ground, and many people died directly under the teeth of the Han dog.

In that battle, even if he was unhappy, Yue Tuo still had to admit that the defenders of Jinan had won an inspiring victory. But the losses of the Han people were not small, and more than 1,000 Han people were transported back to the inner city with only more than 1,000 corpses.

These days, the city of Jinan is full of piles of bonfires. According to the observation post at the front, it was said that the Han Chinese were burning the bodies of soldiers and civilians who had died in battle. There were so many dead people in the city that there was no space to bury the dead. Although the weather is cold, this Jinan city does not know how long it will be besieged. So they cremated the dead soldiers. The jar of ashes was placed in front of the city gate building, and it was accumulated layer by layer, and it filled a room.

When did the cowardly Han become so fierce and brave?

The determination of the people of Jinan City made Yue Tuo feel a little creepy.

In the past, on the battlefield of Liaodong and Gyeonggi, where did those Han dogs who fled from the wind and collapsed for thousands of miles like two-legged sheep?

In fact, Yue Tuo didn't know that this was just the beginning.

In the next few years, the Qing Dynasty marched south. The Han people in the southern provinces, realizing that they were already in a situation of extinction, resisted the invaders with the same fierceness

。 The Yingguan clan in the south of the Yangtze River, the people of one clan and one clan died on the battlefield with their whole family.

The fear in his heart confused Yue Tuo, who had always been outwitted, and he accepted the advice of his deputy, Du Du, to stop the rationing of food for the captives, starve them for three days, and then give them weapons and drive them to aim their weapons at their own people.

This trick was really good, and tens of thousands of captured Han Chinese were so hungry that their eyes were green, and they had already eaten up the grass roots and bark in the camp. Now, as soon as the rice and steamed buns are laid out, they have forgotten about any enemy country, our country, or any country or nation.

When there are more people, things are simpler. In the past few days, Yue Tuo has thrown the captives into battle day and night, ordering them to climb up the ladder towards the city. Outside the city, they also built a long wall, a watchtower, and an earthen platform. Even the catapults, which had long been eliminated by the times, were dug out of the pile of historical newspapers by Yue Tuo, and more than a dozen thunderbolts about ten meters high stood on the battlefield like giants.

Just yesterday, the most brutal offensive and defensive battles began.

More than 1,000 Jianzhou soldiers carried more than 20,000 or 40,000 prisoners, carrying countless ladders, and rushed towards Jinan from four directions at the same time. It's like opening a huge thick hand to knead the Jinan that looks like a ripe fruit into a sauce.

The cannons roared, the flames soared into the sky, and the arrows at the head of the city shot down like splashes of water. All kinds of strange weapons are thrown without money, turning the roots of Jinan's city walls into an infernal hell.

Those who were captured by Yue Tuo and marched into the army were just ordinary farmers, small traders, porters, and even scholars, and had no military training. But he couldn't stand the slashing of the Qing soldiers behind him, so he could only cry and shout and push each other forward.

But there were a few people who could really run to the base of the city wall, and under the unrelenting blows of the city, nearly half of the captives fell to the ground before they reached their destination.

At this time, more than a dozen catapults roared.

The grinding stone's big stone drew a long arc in the air and fell to the city, and in a moment, the city was full of smoke and dust, and the whole Jinan seemed to be shaken.

With the suppression of the Thunderbolt, the attackers suffered much fewer casualties.

The cattle and the Jianzhou soldiers began to speed up and gradually approached.

The sound of ladders being built on the wall, but at this time, suddenly, a cannon stone with a grinding plate smashed on a watchtower of the Qing army

。 With a bang, the crisp sound of the earth shaking and shaking the mountains instantly spread throughout the battlefield. It was visible to the naked eye that the watchtower was directly smashed into pieces by the boulder, and the two Jianzhou soldiers who were sentry on it were instantly smashed into meat patties and flew into the air by sawdust.

Then, another millstone slammed into the city wall, breaking a long ladder in two.

The figures on the ladder fell one after another.

As for the person who was directly hit by the grinding disc, he had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge red mark on the bricks of the city wall.

More stones fell into the crowd under the city walls, and the attacking team was finally confused, and all the people were afraid of being hit by the grinding disc flying around, so they threw away their weapons, turned around and ran back with their heads in their hands.

The elite white armor of Jianzhou, who was supervising the battle behind, shouted hoarsely, brandished the knife in his hand and slashed at the head of the fleeing Shengkou. But there were too many people, and the hundreds of white armors were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.

It turned out that this catapult did not have any accuracy at all. Moreover, the use of such long-range strike weapons also requires long-term training, otherwise, you simply do not know where the stone cannon will end up.

Therefore, after this blow, more of their own people were killed than the Ming army defending the city.

That's it, after most of the day of non-stop launches, the dozen or so Thunderbolts began to collapse one by one.

The generals of the Qing army watched this scene in amazement, and at the beginning, they were still very impressed by Yue Tuo's ability to make more than a dozen catapults. But I don't want to, the facts are completely different from what is written in the book and Yue Tuo's oath.

So many people have died in Jinan, these are all valuable human resources in Jianzhou, and they are everyone's private property. Now it's just thrown here for nothing, how can it not be distressing?

Yue Tuo was now completely bored, except for driving the captives to siege the city and making thunderbolts, he had exhausted all the methods he should use, raising earth mountains and shooting arrows, diverting water to rush the city, caves, and even writing a letter of surrender, asking people to make a thousand copies and shoot arrows into the city...... Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to persuade him to surrender. The Han people in the city are not idiots. This is a national war, and Jianzhou wants livestock, property, and women, not to compete with the Ming Dynasty for the world. Even if they surrender, they will inevitably be robbed of their belongings, women will be turned into sex slaves of others, and men who are strong may be able to stay alive to become slaves of others.
