The green battalion in front of the siege suffered heavy casualties, but the Qing army camp in the rear was silent, neither the sound of collecting troops and shouting gold, nor the action of transferring troops and reinforcements, only the cavalry who gave orders to enter and exit.

After paying nearly half of the casualties, the Guangzhou Green Battalion finally approached the Xinhui city wall, this time the battalion soldiers were not afraid of the artillery on the city, but the stones that fell from time to time on the city were more frightening than the cannons.

The cannon smashed, the body split, after all, there was still a look, the stone fell, but it was smashed flat with the head, and the mud and blood on the ground made a ball, I couldn't even see the appearance, red, white, black, sticky, it looked so good.

The Guangzhou Green Battalion adopted a typical ancient siege method, they bravely approached the city wall, put countless ladders on the wall, and the battalion soldiers who climbed the city stepped on people to climb up. On the other side of the cave of the city gate, after smashing more than a dozen shield carts, two shield carts finally risked their lives to get in, and then slammed into the city gate, until the blocked stones behind the city gate could not stop sliding.

The roar of the artillery stopped, and the defense of the city reached a critical moment. At each battlement on the city wall, Taiping soldiers slashed down with long spears.

The archers of the battalion finally came to use when they approached the city walls, and the best of them aimed at the battlements, and nine out of ten arrows could be hit. The most skilled archery is the diagonal longbow, and the arrows fired either fall on the city wall or fall over the wall into the city.

The arrows of the battalion soldiers were shot extremely sharply and accurately, so that the Taiping army did not dare to look under the probe, and the pressure on the city increased sharply for a while.

There are more than a dozen ladders on the south side are already full of battalion soldiers, and the highest climb is less than one person away from the battlement, seeing this, the small flag officer above screamed urgently, and suddenly several Taiping soldiers shouted, and pulled the iron chain in their hands together to hang the pot of boiling "gold juice" above the battlement, and then let go together.

"Poof!"

The hot oil was sprinkled from a high place, and it suddenly made the Qing army ghosts below cry wolf. The faces of the first few battalion soldiers were all hot, and there was a blood-red color in the black, and where there was still a face, it was clearly a skeleton.

The battalion soldiers below are not so miserable, but which one is not burned wow wow scream, there are better ones with double armor, at most they are called hot oil to burn their scalp, and if they are unlucky, they are called oil to drill into their stomachs, and they feel heartache with a "swish", and they reach out to touch it. It hurts even more when you touch it, and the serious scalding is directly a layer of meat.

The battalion soldiers who did not wear armor were miserable, they were not burned to death, but the whole body was burned on a large scale, and there was no good one at a glance. The golden juice is not only hot oil, but also dung, which stinks and contains countless toadstools. Burns are a trivial matter, but the bacteria in the wound are a major matter. If you don't die, you have to be wasted.

The Taiping army in the city resisted strongly, and from time to time someone jumped down from the city with an arrow, and the ladder of the Qing army also fell one after another, and the city and the city were all red-eyed. No one will take a step back. The city gate had already been blocked by Zhou Shixiang's order, so Ren Qing Army's shield car smashed the door hard, and the gate did not move at all, but the stone pile behind it was collapsed several times. But then it was blocked by Qingzhuang again.

Xinhui Qingzhuang, who was forcibly recruited by the Taiping army, and the Taiping army are grasshoppers on the same rope, once the Qing army breaks the city, their fate can be imagined. Before the battle, Zhou Shixiang ordered Song Xianggong to tell Qingzhuang all kinds of tragic things when the Qing army was guarding Xinhui, and said that the Qing army broke the city and slaughtered the city.

The Qing army prisoners were stupid, but the Taiping army looked at it very strictly, and they ignored the lack of troops in the city, and they were stunned to assign people to supervise them, so they just wanted to make a move, and they had to first weigh whether the unarmed themselves could outrun the swordsmen behind them.

The gold juice was poured down in a pot, the stones were smashed down one by one, the lime was sprinkled down, everything that could kill and injure the Qing army was prepared, and finally the whole piece of wood was thrown down.

The sassal wood was long and thick, and it was thrown down the city wall, and one could carry at least four or five ladders along the way. The Qing army on the ladder was smashed directly if they couldn't avoid it, and those with sharp eyes and quick hands had nowhere to hide, so they could only jump off the ladder by themselves one second in advance.

At this moment in the battle, it has been nearly half an hour, but except for the battalions who are still trying to climb the city in a mess under the city, there is no place in the city where the Qing army can be seen.

The battalion attacked very fiercely, but it was always exhausted, except for those who were cold arrows on the Taiping army's side, the casualties were not too large, and the guards battalions on random standby were not transferred, and the battle situation was favorable to the Taiping army.

Zhou Shixiang has been observing the Qing army camp opposite, judging when the main force of the Qing army will come up, but looking at it, he has not found any signs of the Qing army attacking, and he can't help but wonder why Shang Kexi didn't take the city in one go, but let these green camps die in the city.

In the Qing military camp opposite, there are also people who are holding clairvoyant mirrors to observe the city, and the person who observes is Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan. From the moment he ordered the Green Battalion to attack, he was always paying attention to the battle situation, and when he saw that the Green Battalion rushed into the city for so long and failed to climb the city, he shook his head, handed the clairvoyant mirror to Goshha on the side, and then said to Ban Zhifu: "This Taiping army seems to be stronger than other Ming troops, and the guards are also courageous. ”

"Asking Lin Shanzhi to supervise the troops to go up is a temptation, it is good to be able to take it, it doesn't matter if you can't take it, wait for a few days to surround them, and wait for the prince to come, there will be people in the city who are afraid of death.

The battle of breaking the city, Ban Zhifu has participated in countless battles since Liaodong, and he has tried and tested this trick many times. The border soldiers of Liao Town are so elite, but what will happen in the end, and how will the city that is blown extremely strong be broken? The fortified city in this world is actually not terrible, but the human heart is terrible. The intelligence has been gathered from all over the place, this Taiping army is only a lone army, no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, such a thin army trapped in the lonely city, the end has long been doomed, only to surround for a period of time, the city has its own greedy people who are afraid of death to sacrifice the city.

Ban Zhifu saw that Lin Shanzhi couldn't attack for a long time, and the casualties were too great, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, did you order the troops to be collected?" ”

"Let's see it a little longer." Shang Zhixin didn't care about the deaths and injuries of these green battalion soldiers, "I want to see what other means this guard has not used." ”

After a long time, thousands of people were slaughtered by the city like fish and meat, and after a long time, the battalion soldiers were not iron, and some people began to try to run back, but they were all cut down by the officers behind.

Lin Shanzhi also red-eyed, he originally wanted to show his hand in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, but who would have thought that this Taiping Army would be really difficult to fight, and the battle has been fought so far, and he has lost more than half of it. Although the losses were all the battalion soldiers from the counties under the Guangzhou Prefecture, and his descendants did not lose much of the soldiers and horses, but this face also fell too much, how to tell His Royal Highness the Prince of the World that he had patted his chest and said that he had broken the city in one fell swoop!
