Dense crowds of people flocked to the walls of the capital city of Kuizhou.

The artillery was erected, all of them were Furlong machine guns and tiger squat guns, although a lot of shells were used, but there were always some shells left, and there was not much effect on keeping them, the righteous army finally did not get the supply of shells, until the third day of departure, Li Zicheng knew that it was impossible for him to get the supply of shells, but the problem was not too big, the important thing was to rely on the sergeant to storm the city of Kuizhou, with the absolute advantage in numbers, the rest of the deficiencies can be made up.

Encountering a head-on attack, the rebels finally broke through the blockade of artillery fire and began to assemble towards the walls of Kuizhou Prefecture.

Li Zicheng is familiar with the structure of the Kuizhou capital city, there are scouts of the righteous army who have entered the Kuizhou capital city, and drew out a map, the city wall of the Kuizhou capital city is in disrepair, not so strong, there are several places where the city wall is low, only more than one person high, belonging to the weak points of defense, these places will be the focus of the attack.

Looking at the rogues who were coming over densely, Su Tiancheng's face began to become grim.

The artillery played a huge role, and it was still working, but there were too many Liukou, and the city of Kuizhou was surrounded by mountain peaks, and there were not many flat places, which also limited the role of artillery, and after more than an hour, Liukou finally began to rush towards the city.

Sun Chuanting asked him to leave the city wall several times, but Su Tiancheng refused, at this time, Sun Chuanting had already gone to command the battle, and next, the Liukou was about to start attacking the city, and many soldiers were needed to play a role.

The Fran cannon and the Tiger cannon began to fire at the crowd of rogues, and one shell after another fell in the crowd, and the arms and thighs were constantly seen flying into the air, but the rogue did not flinch and still rushed forward.

Su Tiancheng felt a little strange, was Liukou really not afraid of death. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the Liukou have fought many times, and when they see this kind of situation, most of the Liukou's military spirit will be discharged, and the pace of the attack will slow down, what is wrong this time, there is no fear and retreat at all.

Ironically. Liukou's Furlong cannon and Tiger Squat cannon also began to fire, and it was clearly effective.

The city wall of Kuizhou is not very strong, this is the actual situation, although the Jiangning battalion soldiers in a few days, temporarily reinforced, but the effect is not very good, when the cannonball fell to the side of the city wall, a large number of soil began to slide down, the whole stone fell.

Su Tiancheng wanted to scold his mother. Unexpectedly, there is such a tofu slag project today.

The Jiangning battalion carried out arms trading, and got a huge benefit, it can be said that there is an endless amount of gold and silver, but always want to get benefits, it is also unlikely, and now the Furlong machine gun and tiger squat cannon mastered by the Liukou are fatal to the destruction of the city wall, but fortunately, there are not many shells of the Liukou. It is impossible to completely destroy the walls somewhere.

The shells of both sides fired at each other, in comparison. The power of the Liukou's artillery fire is much less, mainly because there are not enough shells.

The rogues, who were charging under artillery fire, were divided into four directions, charging in four directions: southeast, northwest, and north.

This has already shown that Li Zicheng is desperate to take the capital city of Kuizhou.

The number of rogues rushing towards the main gate to the south was the largest. The roads here are also the best.

There was once a suggestion from an officer whether to set up a defensive line outside the city of Kuizhou to slow down the speed of the Liukou, or to arrange soldiers in the direction of the Nine Wharves, but Su Tiancheng did not adopt such a suggestion. There are not many soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, so they must not be dispersed, so their own strength is relatively weakened, Su Tiancheng even gave a specific example to everyone, there are 90,000 rogues, even if a defensive position is set up on the periphery, 3,000 people are arranged, and 30,000 rogues are killed and wounded, but there are still 60,000 rogues, and the soldiers in the city of Kuizhou Mansion are less than 10,000 people, so the attack on the periphery is handed over to the artillery to complete.

Now it seems that this arrangement is completely correct, the Liukou are divided into four directions to attack, and the Jiangning battalion has deployed troops in all four directions, including 4,000 men at the south gate and the east gate, and 2,000 men in each of the other two places.

There is no reserve, and the sergeant of the inspection department in the city of Kuizhou is barely a reserve, but there are only more than 200 people, plus the people who have never experienced a battle, there are still more than 20,000 people, but it is impossible to rely on these people to defend the city.

The first round of siege began.

Countless ladders reached the top of the wall, and the rogues began to climb.

The rogue who charged behind, constantly released bows and arrows, trying to suppress the soldiers on the city wall, but the effect was not very large, at the mouth of the city wall, a flintlock pistol was stretched out, and rows of flintlock pistols began to fire, and the rogue who was hit screamed and fell, after being hit by a flintlock pistol, he may not be killed immediately, but he also lost his combat effectiveness, and can only roll and wail on the ground.

The first wave of attacks in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the Liukou retreated like a tide, and Su Tiancheng understood that this was just a tentative attack by the Liukou.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sun is still very long, although it is the time of unitary, but it is still bright, which also makes the attack of the rogue more calm.

The artillery has been fired for a long time, and it must be rested for a while, otherwise there will be a situation of exploding, which will cause casualties among the soldiers.

On the battlefield, there was a temporary lull.

Su Tiancheng didn't know the casualties of the Liukou in the Ludao Dao, which lasted for two hours, and it should be said that the number of casualties of the Liukou exceeded 10,000, but such casualties would not be a devastating blow to the Liukou. Now that Li Zicheng has decided to make a desperate bet, even if he loses more than half of his personnel, he will continue to attack.

The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion did not suffer many casualties for the time being, because of the artillery and bows and arrows of the rogues, some casualties were caused, and the number did not exceed 100.

It should be said that in the first round of the offensive, the Jiangning battalion won a huge victory.

Li Zicheng didn't know about the casualties of Sergeant Lu Dao for the time being, and he didn't have the heart to count the casualties.

He faintly felt bad, Su Tiancheng had already prepared, otherwise he would not have started the artillery attack when the righteous army had not launched an attack, and his own sergeants suffered heavy losses under the attack of artillery. But it also greatly increases the difficulty of the attack.

More than two hours have passed, the righteous army launched a tentative attack, Li Zicheng is very annoyed, of course, the trump card in his hand has not yet been played, the sergeant who went to attack the city in front, the main task is to open a gap, and then the trump card in his hand will be played.

Many officers stood beside him, their faces solemn, and no one dared to speak.

"Brothers, we have arrived at the city of Kuizhou, the city wall in front of us is our goal, we must take the city wall within one day, no matter how much it costs, from now on, do not stop attacking, each wave of attacking sergeants, from two thousand to three thousand, one wave of failure, another wave rushes up, do not have an interval of time, the direction of the focus of the attack is in the south gate and the east gate, the west gate and the north gate place a part of the sergeants feint, not allowed to retreat, otherwise the killing, after taking the city of Kuizhou, All the money and women in the city belong to the soldiers......"

At two o'clock, the offensive began.

Looking at the rogues lined up in a square, Su Tiancheng, who rushed to the city gate and held a telescope, had a smile on his face.

Fang Fengnian, who was standing beside him, was a little strange, at such a moment of crisis, Su Tiancheng was still able to laugh.

"My lord, there are a large number of rogues, such a charge, can be maintained for a long time, my soldiers will have no time to rest and adjust, the situation is critical, I don't know why Lord Lu Dao is laughing."

Fang Fengnian's words were a little sharp, but at very moments, it was normal to speak harshly.

"Lord Fang, Liukou's attack like this, it is indeed able to maintain the physical strength of the charge for a long time, this is a positive side, but there is also a very negative side, Liukou is a human being after all, and people know what they are afraid of, no matter how generous Li Zicheng has given a promise, the failure of round after round of attacks, the heavy casualties, will definitely affect the people behind, this is the most basic truth, for us, as long as the soldiers can persevere, continue to give Liukou a fatal blow, and gain valuable time, We won the victory, I believe, this is also Li Zicheng's choice of last resort, if 90,000 rogues rush up, either succeed or fail, Li Zicheng can not withstand such a blow. ”

"But the subordinate paid attention, the rogues didn't show their fear, the artillery just gave them a fatal blow, and the casualties were very heavy, but so many rogues are still desperately attacking."

"This time and that time, as the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this is the law of nature, no one can avoid it, Liukou has just arrived outside the city of Kuizhou, Li Zicheng's first step is successful, at this time, Liukou's momentum is naturally high, and it can also show the momentum of not being afraid of death, but this momentum, the duration is limited, and no army has been able to suffer a devastating blow, from beginning to end to maintain the fighting spirit of not afraid of death, If Liukou had such a tenacious fighting spirit, he would not have been defeated so many times under Jiang Ningying. ”

Fang Fengnian nodded, his face much better.

After all, he is a Wenchen, and he still can't bear it when he sees such a bloody scene, but this time is much better, after all, under the stake of life and death, people's adaptability is not ordinary. (To be continued......)
