On May 26, the Qing army began to attack the city!

Chen Jin, the commander of the Qing army, stood under the banner of the commander and shouted angrily, "The reward for climbing the city first, and the one who retreats from the battle will be beheaded." Besiege! ”

With Chen Jin's order, the war drums rumbled. The Qing soldiers rushed forward desperately with siege equipment such as ladders and crashing wood.

"Archers, shoot at those people for me, don't let them get near the city gates!" Zhang Jin roared angrily and commanded the bow and arrow to shoot wildly.

The Qing army on the run was the first to face a dense burst of sharp arrows whistling down from the sky.

The Qing army was desperately dodging the arrows shot from the city while running, and from time to time the Qing army was hit by the stray shot of the Zheng family army and let out a miserable scream. But as long as they are not incapacitated, these wounded soldiers can only insist on continuing to rush forward.

Chen Tai, the general of the Qing army in Jingnan, was busy drinking, "Archer, give me a fierce suppression of the opponent's bow and arrow!" ”

Seeing the Qing army's archers counterattacking, Zhang Jin shouted sharply. "The rattan armor soldier raises his shield!"

Hundreds of rattan armor soldiers quickly raised their special rattan shields in the air, protecting themselves and the archers behind them, while leaving a gap for the archers to fight back.

Countless arrows struck the vine shield with a screech, and then bounced off.

Seeing that the rain of arrows of the Zheng family army had weakened a lot, Chen Tai, the general of the Jingnan army of the Qing army, brandished his sword and shouted with all his might.

"Rush, rush for me!"

"Build a ladder and climb the city!"

"Rush the car, get on me!"

Under the cover of shield-wielding soldiers, hundreds of soldiers pushed a dozen rushing carts towards the city gates.

The closer you get to the walls, the more dense the rain of arrows becomes.

After a short time, the rushing Qing army braved the rain of arrows to rush to the city and set up a ladder.

As soon as the ladder leaned against the city wall, countless Qing troops held their shields high and swords in their mouths, and quickly climbed up.

At the same time, dozens of crashing logs launched a fierce attack on the Tong'an city gate.

Seeing that the Qing army was about to land in the city, Zhang Jin hurriedly shouted, "Grenade bombs are ready, throw them!" ”

Three or four hundred grenade shells were thrown down, and with a bang, they exploded. Iron beads, gravel splashes!

The Qing soldiers who were at the center of the explosion were suddenly blurred by the explosion, and they died without snorting.

The Qing soldiers around them were miserable, their faces and bodies were covered with iron shards and hard stones, blood flowed, and they rolled on the ground screaming miserably.

The Qing soldiers around him were all frightened when they saw such a terrifying scene. The Qing offensive came to a halt.

Zhang Jin hurriedly shouted: "Don't stop, throw grenades and hard stones for me." The archers shot me to death those who resisted the ladder and rushed the car! ”

Hearing the general's shout, Zheng Jiajun, who was defending the city, immediately smashed the grenade bombs and hard stones in his hands with all his might.

Seeing this scene, Jingnan General Chen Tai's eyes cracked and shouted, "What the hell is going on, what the hell is that ******thing?" ”

No one answered, and after a period of silence, the Fujian General Soldier Ma Degong said cautiously: "General, now that the offensive is not going well, should you withdraw the troops first!" ”

Looking at the Qing soldiers who were bombed, Chen Jin knew that there was no way to attack the city now, so he could only retreat temporarily.

"! Withdraw, all back! ”

Hearing the sound of retreating, the Qing soldiers, who had long been frightened, suddenly spread their steps and ran back.

Seeing that the Qing army had retreated, Zhang Jin hurriedly ordered people to carry the wounded soldiers down, and at the same time ordered to directly block the city gate with horizontal wood and gravel to prevent the enemy from breaking through the city gate.

At this time, Ye Yiyun, Chen Ding and other Tong'an officials who stayed behind walked onto the city wall.

"How's the battle going?" Ye Yiyun couldn't hide the worry in his heart and asked anxiously.

"Ye Zhixian don't worry, Tong'an will be able to defend it!" Zhang Jin said very calmly.

"Yes! Tong'an's safety was entrusted to General Zhang, and he sent a message to the two Zheng Cai brothers, asking them to abide by the alliance contract and send troops to help? Ye Yiyun said with a little worry.

"Before closing the city gate, three waves of people have been sent to deliver a message to Xiamen!" Zhang Jin said.

Hearing the sound of the Qing army attacking the city, in Tong'an City, the clouds of war shrouded the hearts of the people, and the people who knew the atrocities of the Qing army were uneasy and anxious.

The people of the city can do only - pray! Pray that the Zheng army can hold on to Tong'an, pray that the Qing army will not attack the city, and pray that the general can slow down in time.

Otherwise, it will be devastated and displaced!

Back in the Qing barracks, Jingnan General Chen Tai slammed his horsewhip on the ground and said, "Damn it! If it weren't for that kind of ghost, Lao Tzu's soldiers would definitely be able to kill into the city. ”

Ma Degong nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the general is right. Zheng Chenggong is also a little trick. Without these gadgets, how could I be my opponent in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Chen Jin, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, said unhappily: "Now is not the time to talk about this, we must break through Tong'an as soon as possible and cut off Zheng Chenggong's back road." Otherwise, let him break through Quanzhou City, and we will lose all our efforts. ”

Chen Tai also frowned and said, "I also want to be able to break through Tong'an as soon as possible, but you have also seen it." With that kind of, it's hard for us to get to the top of the city. ”

Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "I don't think there should be much of that in Tong'an City, otherwise I wouldn't have thrown away so little." We hurried up the offensive and consumed all of those things. I will definitely be able to break through Tong'an City. ”

Hearing Chen Jin say this, Chen Tai pondered for a while and said, "Okay, let's attack again later, and see how many things there are." If it is less, even if it is a heavy loss, Lao Tzu will take Tong'an. ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The war drums of the Qing army sounded again, and the Qing army launched another fierce offensive. After the archers suppressed the archers of the Zheng family's army, the Qing soldiers slaughtered the city.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers had reached the city, Zhang Jin hurriedly shouted: "Throw it at me, you can't let the Qing soldiers attack it." “

The grenades rained down, and the explosion sounded, and the Qing soldiers were suddenly turned on their backs.

Several timid Qing soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled, and the overseers in the back immediately cut them down when they saw it.

Chen Tai drank immediately: "Pass the order, whoever dares to retreat, it will be nothing to kill!" Whoever ascends first to the top of the city will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. “

Under the shouts of the heralds, the Qing soldiers could only rush forward with their fate, hoping that they would have a future if they did not die.

The Qing soldiers attacked the city very fiercely, and the grenade shells in Tong'an City were consumed very quickly. Half a day later, Ye Zhixian ran to the head of the city and shouted to Zhang Jin: "General Zhang, the grenade is almost gone!" “

"What? Damn, you immediately organize the production of manpower! “

"No, General Zhang. The most important thing that can't catch up is that there is not enough sulfur! ”

Seeing that the grenade shells dropped on the city were gradually decreasing, Chen Tai shouted excitedly on the horse: "Brothers, the enemy doesn't have that kind of ghost thing anymore, kill me!" Whoever climbs the city wall first will be rewarded with three hundred taels. ”

Hearing that the bounty had been raised again, he saw that the grenades on the city were thrown less and less.

The morale of the Qing soldiers was suddenly greatly boosted, and they were busy setting up ladders and climbing hard, trying to kill the city wall.

Hundreds of Qing soldiers with huge waists pushed several huge attack vehicles and slammed into the city gates, and every time the car hit, the city gates and the city walls shook.

On both sides of the city gate, several crashed cars that had been blown up by the Zheng army in the city were being pushed aside by the Qing army.

Seeing the Qing soldiers bravely attacking the city wall, the Zheng family army was almost unable to resist.

Zhang Jin said fiercely: "Damn, it's like the Qing soldiers don't want to die." Ye Zhixian, bring up the prepared boiling oil. ”

"That's it!" Ye Zhixian sighed, hurriedly ran down the city wall, and let hundreds of young people carry dozens of cauldrons.

With a hiss, the hot oil and water poured down.

The boiling oil continued to roll down, and the Qing soldiers, who had nowhere to dodge, were suddenly torn off by the scalding flesh, revealing deep white bones, covering their wounds, and falling down the ladder with a scream.

"Throw fire!" Zhang Jin shouted expressionlessly, and the lit torches and hay were quickly thrown down the city.

"Whew!" With a bang, the ladder soaked in oil became extremely flammable, and as soon as it came into contact with the fire, it instantly burst into flames.

The flames turn the city into a prison!

The Qing soldiers were on fire and rolled desperately on the ground, hoping to extinguish the fire on their bodies.

But the fire that gets the grease on you is so easy to extinguish. Soon after, the charred corpse lay on the ground, emitting a vomiting smell.

Looking at the blazing fire, Chen Tai knew that there was no way to attack the city now, and hurriedly shouted: "Mingjin collects the troops!" ”

Zhang Jin looked at the retreating figure of the Qing soldiers with a serious face, if there were tens of thousands of grenade bullets, he would definitely be able to hold on to Tong'an City, but now I am afraid that life will be difficult.
