With Zhu Youzhen's order, Qin Bing's Jedi counterattack began!

In fact, with the strength of the Qin soldiers, how could they not be able to hold the city. The fall of the outer city is nothing more than a huge "conspiracy"! The brilliance of this "conspiracy" lies in the fact that the thieves didn't drive the people to attack the city, and the Qin soldiers wanted to capture him and let him attack it!

Just as Li Dingguo, the maker of this strategy, expected, after the siege of the outer city, the thieves were immediately carried away by the victory. They didn't care to drive the people anymore, and immediately rushed in to burn and loot.

The prerequisite for the implementation of this strategy was that Qinwangzhuang also had an inner city wall, which was built stronger and closer to completion than the outer city wall. And because of the smaller circle, the front of the defense was also reduced, and it became easier to defend the city. The thieves are difficult to break through even the outer city, and the inner city is even more foolproof.

The important buildings of Qinwangzhuang, except for the arsenal located in the outer city, other important buildings, including most of the residences, are located in the inner city. Even if the outer city is abandoned, Qinwangzhuang can still maintain normal operation, and the most important thing is that the people will not be exposed to the enemy's butcher's knife. Even the arsenal, craftsmen and guns and ammunition have long been transferred, leaving nothing more than an empty house.

And for the first time, nearly 100 small fortresses between the inner and outer cities also played a major role. The inspiration for these forts is still from "Tunnel Warfare", and Zhu Youzhen connected them all through tunnels. It looks like a lonely fortress on the ground, but the underground is intricately intertwined, full of ambushes. Qin Bing has been training here for a long time, and of course he is familiar with the road; But where do foreign thieves know how powerful, of course, there are in and out, and there is no return!

First there is the joy of attacking the outer city, then there is the anxiety of attacking the fortress, and finally there is the temptation of breaking through the inner city. Li Dingguo expected that the camp would be attacked in the future, so he still let the Qin soldiers deliberately preserve their strength until a large number of thieves began to attack the city, and then gave it a thunderous blow. I didn't expect the harvest to be so big, and he captured Hao Shaoqi, the forward general of the battalion, who was the most capable general under Li Zicheng.

As soon as Hao Shaoqi was captured, the morale of the thieves fluctuated. Zhu You saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately launched a counteroffensive order. The gates of the inner city were immediately opened, and the four cavalry teams in the city were already impatiently waiting, and immediately galloped out in four directions: east, west, south, and north, and took the four gates of the outer city.

Don't look at the thieves in the city, but Qin Bing is very familiar with every small street and alley, no matter how narrow the road is, he will not slow down, and he will never fight. In front of these four black torrents, whoever dared to block them would have to be crushed, so these four teams of cavalry rushed to the gate of the city in a short time.

At the same time, the infantry of the Qin soldiers also came out of the city, and ambushes also spread between the inner and outer cities, blooming everywhere! It turned out that those Qin soldiers who were hiding in the tunnels came out of the fortress again, but this time they didn't just hide on it and release arrows and birds, but rushed directly to the outer city wall like a tiger descending from the mountain!

And the thieves have been fighting smoothly today, although they suffered a little setback after attacking the outer city, they didn't pay much attention to it, at least they definitely didn't expect the defenders to come out again.

But in an instant, the situation suddenly changed, not only did the defenders come out, but their main general also let the family capture the prisoners, how could the thieves not panic? Therefore, there was immediately a great chaos, and those who could flee for their lives were desperately fleeing outside the city, and those who did not have time to escape could only fight on their own, and they could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

As for the common people who were driven by the thieves to attack the city, they were even more panicked, and they couldn't even escape. Of course, even if they wanted to run, they couldn't outrun the well-trained and well-prepared Qin soldiers.

And the goal of the Qin soldiers is very clear, that is, to first control the four city gates, and then control the entire outer city wall, and catch turtles in an urn!

Guarding the four city gates were the most elite cavalry under Hao Shaoqi. They didn't know that Hao Shaoqi had been captured, but when they saw the enemy rushing out from inside, they already knew that something was wrong. They also knew very well that if they couldn't defend the city gate, the troops inside, including the main general, would definitely have to run out, so they also resisted desperately.

A fierce battle that has never been seen before the Qin soldiers since they formed an army has finally begun!

At this time, the two sides were in close arms, and the Qin soldiers had no favorable terrain, no advantage in firearms, and no advantage in troops, and some were just determined to move forward! Led by several generals, they shouted and slammed into the bandits, and soon got into a scuffle with the thieves.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the infantry of the Qin soldiers also gradually approached the outer city wall. Since the thieves' cavalry were all pinned to the city gates, the infantry were not hindered. And although they advanced very fast, they also tried their best to maintain the formation of the bird's three-stage attack, and there were sporadic thieves blocking the way, and they were immediately beaten into a sieve.

At this time, Li Zicheng outside the city also smelled the smell of danger, and immediately sent a large number of thieves to kill the four city gates. At this critical moment, Qin Bing's bird gunners finally took the lead in climbing the city, and suddenly threw iron balls at the thieves under the city!

The thief didn't know what it was, and thought it was just an ordinary iron lump, as long as it didn't hit his head. Before these iron balls could hit the ground, a violent explosion suddenly occurred! After a loud bang, there was a smoke of gunpowder everywhere inside and outside the city gate, and in the smoke, there were corpses of thieves who had been blown up to a bloody blur!

This is Zhu Youzhen's other secret weapon: grenades!

In fact, as early as in the Battle of Ningyuan, when the city was about to be destroyed, Zhu Youzhen asked the defenders to directly ignite the ammunition box and throw it down the city, using it as a simple grenade, and achieved unexpected results.

Since then, Zhu Youzhen has been pondering how to make a formal and easy-to-use grenade. But he vaguely remembered that the grenades in his previous life were all fused and had a delayed detonation function, which was a common "string pull" in film and television dramas. This thing has a certain technical content, at least Zhu Youjian can't make it himself.

So he had to ask the craftsmen to produce a simple substitute, which was nothing more than an iron shell with gunpowder and then connected to the outside world with a twist. When using it, first ignite the twist and then throw it out quickly. Since the twist is easily extinguished during flight, the reliability of this improvised grenade is very poor, and it would be good to throw ten to sound three.

But Zhu Youzhen is not discouraged, and now he is solving the problem from scratch. As long as there is, it is better than nothing!

Today, at the critical moment of counterattacking the outer city wall, Zhu Youzhen also asked the infantry to bring this kind of "iron lump", and it really achieved miraculous results!

Taking advantage of a brief gap in the battlefield, the Qin soldiers immediately rushed down the city and struggled to slowly close the thick and heavy city gate. With a loud bang, the city gate was completely shut, and the moment to catch turtles in the urn finally arrived!
