readx; The heavy artillery bombardment of the Ming army caused heavy losses to the Qing army, but the all-out offensive had already been launched and could not be easily stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, latest chapter access:. . . Relying on the advantage of the fast speed of cavalry advance, the Qing army finally rushed within 50 paces of the city wall under huge casualties. Now they finally have the strength to fight back, and while continuing to rush forward, they all fired bows and arrows at the head of the city to suppress the artillery of the Ming army. In an instant, more than 10,000 sharp arrows rushed towards the city from all directions like black clouds, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Of course, the Ming army was also prepared. As soon as Qian'an was taken, the Ming army, with the assistance of the people in the city, moved a large number of wide wooden planks to the head of the city and erected them on the inside of the battlements to build simple bunkers. Originally, the common people had been enslaved by the Qing army to do all kinds of coolies, and they were extremely tired and weakened, but now they are assisting the officers and soldiers to defend the city, to put it bluntly, they are defending themselves, how can that motivation be the same? In less than half an hour, thousands of planks were carried up to the city, and many of them were the 'doors' of the people's own houses, which were tall and wide, and quite suitable for use.

Therefore, although the Qing army's round of 'shooting' was menacing, most of the arrows were nailed to the wooden plank, or fell into the city over the city wall, and the damage caused to the Ming army on the city wall was minimal.

And Hao Yongzhong, Cao Wenzhao, Meng Gong and other Ming generals also knew very well that the Qing army was now cornered and would never retreat easily because of the shelling, and the most brutal 'fierce' war was about to begin. Therefore, in addition to leaving 1,000 light cavalry as reserves, Hao Yongzhong's 4,000 light cavalry, Meng Gong's 1,000 gunners and bird guns, and 500 Guanning iron cavalry all went to the city. At this time, all the cavalry turned into archers, and they also fired arrows at the city without stopping.

Especially the Guanning Iron Cavalry, they relied on their heavy armor, and they didn't even dodge, so they stood in the exposed place and 'shot' outside. In the fierce battle, the Qing army saw that there were people in the city who 'exposed' their figures, and of course subconsciously fired more arrows at them. And these soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry are really iron-beaten men, and some of them were 'shot' by dozens of iron arrows in a very short period of time. Although the arrows could not penetrate the extremely thick iron armor, the force of the impact was still quite large, and they simply carried it without taking a single step back.

With the cover of the wooden planks and the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attract arrows, the bird-strickmen under Meng Gong could show their skills. Before the start of the battle, they took out the 'shooting' hole in the wooden board, stretched out the bird gun when they 'shot' the shot, and immediately 'handed over' the gun to the comrades behind them to reload the ammunition and 'medicine', and they themselves took the already loaded bird gun and continued to 'shoot'.

Because they have the cover of battlements and planks, they can hit the enemy, but the enemy can't 'shoot' them, so they can safely and boldly aim and 'shoot' hits. Moreover, the Qing army was already close at hand, and the crowds were getting denser and denser, and there was almost no need to aim, and every row of buckshot 'shots' down the city, several, dozens, or even dozens of enemy soldiers would be shot, screaming miserably and falling off their horses.

At the same time, all the artillery at the head of the city did not stop roaring. Of course, the 16 'rapid' and 'quick' guns and the three 'flower' cannons caused the greatest damage to the Qing army, which had a short firing range, convenient school guns, and fast firing, so that the cavalry with the white flag, which had never tasted intensive artillery bombardment before, really understood the power of artillery for the first time.

The rapid-fire cannon was a cannon with nine guns, which should have been completely cooled down once after three firings, but in the face of the swarming enemy troops, the gunners were red-eyed, and some of the guns fired six or seven times in a row and did not care about the cooling, and in such cold weather, the gun body was still red. The soldiers had to desperately pour water on the cannon, and as soon as the water was splashed up, it immediately turned into water vapor, and for a time the mist and smoke of gunpowder at the head of the city seemed to be shrouded in clouds.

The results of the three 'gates' and 'flowers' cannons were even greater, because the closer the Qing army was to the city wall, the more inevitably it was to gather more. The Kaihua cannon has a short body and a large elevation angle, and it can hit about 30 paces recently. Don't look at the three 'guns' left, but each cannon goes down, a bloody 'flower' blooms in the enemy formation, and the Qing troops near the explosion point fall in pieces.

In the past, on the battlefield of Liaodong, the border army sometimes exaggerated the great military exploits and liked to use the word "all erosion" to describe the power of the Hongyi cannon. However, the shells of the Hongyi cannon were solid shells, and their lethality to the Qing army was really limited. Although the 'flower' cannon is still very immature, it uses the explosive power of the cannonball to kill the enemy, and the effect is really "all erosive"!

However, despite the full firepower of the Ming army, the Qing army still attacked fiercely. If it was changed to the Liaodong battlefield, the Qing army would definitely let the Han army flag attack repeatedly, try to consume the Ming army's ammunition 'medicine', and wait until the Ming army was almost exhausted before launching the final onslaught. But now it is different, the white flag is forced to launch a full-scale attack, and it is not only the cannon fodder of those Han military flags that die. In just a few moments, more than 300 cavalrymen with white flags had been killed and wounded, and there were countless Han military flags.

The tragic death of their companions has aroused the murderous nature in their blood, and not only did they not flinch, but they rushed to the city wall even more desperately. The two generals, Niyaha and Kazhu, took the lead, broke into a place less than thirty steps from the city wall, used dead men and horses as cover, and commanded the Qing army to fire arrows at the head of the city.

Under such an offensive regardless of casualties, the Ming army was indeed suppressed to a certain extent. Hao Yongzhong and Meng Gong's subordinates, the backbone members are all old Qin soldiers, since the day they formed the army, they have accepted a completely different military idea from this era: first save themselves, then kill and injure the enemy, never fight hard with the enemy, and fight a war of attrition.

Therefore, except for the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, who were not afraid of being 'shot', the other archers all hid behind the wooden planks and threw 'shots', and their accuracy and 'sexuality' naturally declined. The Qing army also took this opportunity to finally rush under the Qian'an city wall and began to attack the city. At this time, more than half of the casualties of the Han Army Banner had been killed, and most of the people who climbed up with ladders under the city were genuine Eight Banner soldiers.

Amin, who was galloping back and forth to command the battle, was already red-eyed. He has already made a bloody investment in this battle, and only by attacking the city and recapturing Qian'an, the heavy casualties paid in front of him are meaningful, otherwise it is better not to fight at all. Seeing that his men had finally begun to build ladders to attack the city, and it seemed that victory was in sight, Amin was so excited that he raised his saber and kept urging the soldiers behind him to continue to rush forward.

However, he had not personally experienced the Battle of the Daling River Breakout and the Battle of the Defense of Beijing, and he did not know that the Ming army still had a killer move. Meng Gong saw that there were at least several hundred Qing troops gathered under the city, and the Qing troops behind him were still surging forward, so he immediately shouted: "Throw a grenade at me, don't think about saving the 'medicine', throw it all out as fast as possible!" ”

Within seconds, the Qing army under the city found that it was raining on the city, and hundreds of things were thrown down on them.

However, these few seconds were also their last few seconds in this world. In the flash of light, thousands of grenades exploded almost simultaneously!
