Although Qianhu, who led the charge, felt that something was wrong, the attack had become a tiger-riding trend, and there was no possibility of stopping, so he could only rush in the direction of the city wall. It wasn't until they entered the range of the bow and arrows that the Ming army at the head of the city reacted, and the rain of arrows began to pour down the city.

The Jiannu who were besieging the city immediately covered it with a shield, and more than half of the arrows were blocked by the shield, but there were still many unlucky sergeants who were shot to the ground.

"Could it be that the Ming army really has no gunpowder?" Soon this thought came to the minds of many Jiannu, which made them very happy.

Compared to muskets, bows and arrows can withstand much more blows to them, and Chiho, who commanded the first wave of attacks, once again gave the order to speed up the attack and rush across the moat to the city early. With his order, the two thousand Jiannu who were advancing forward were immediately divided into two groups. One pulled out his shield and continued to attack in the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and the other Jiannuzi took the bow and arrows and aimed at the head of the city, and began to fight back.

The arrows fired by Jiannu began to fly towards the city, and from time to time the Ming soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell.

The Ming army still did not shoot with muskets, which greatly boosted the confidence of the besieging Jiannu. There is a moat not far ahead, and if you cross it, you can attack the city walls directly. They charged faster, and many of them even ignored the rain of arrows that fell from the city, and rushed straight forward.

From time to time, those who were hit by arrows fell, either dead or wounded, and many of the wounded were trampled to death by their companions running behind.

Soon, the remnants of the Jiannu rushed to the side of the moat, and dozens of ladders were quickly placed horizontally on the moat, building a temporary bridge.

The second wave of 3,000 Han and Korean troops attacked earlier than the original, and they took advantage of the previous wave of men and horses to shoot at the Ming army at the head of the city, and soon joined the battle group, and used the temporary "bridge" to rush to the other side of the moat.

Soon, a number of ladders were set up on the city wall, but most of the ladders were immediately pushed away by the Ming army at the head of the city, and the Jiannu who rushed to the city under the city ignored these, as long as there were ladders on the city wall, a group of sergeants immediately rushed forward.

At this moment, several large bundles of black smoke were thrown down from the city, and someone immediately shouted: "Fire Dragon Cannon, Ming Army Fire Dragon Cannon!"

But it was too late, at least ten bundles of grenades were thrown into the Jiannu formation that rushed down the city wall, and in the earth-shattering explosion, a large area of Jiannu and their ladders were blown away, and many of their corpses were left and became a pile of fragments.

However, there were still quite a few Jiannu and Yunti who were lucky enough to avoid the grenade explosion, and they continued to charge through the Yunti and towards the city.

The grenades on the city did not continue to be thrown, but they were still greeted by unfriendly "gifts", dense rolling logs and stones, and arrows pouring down from the top of the city. Jiannu, who climbed up the ladder and crowded at the foot of the city wall, suffered heavy damage again.

Under the city of Datong, it became a hell on earth, the first wave and the second wave of nearly 5,000 Jiannu who attacked the city were quickly lost more than half, and then a bunch of grenades were thrown down on the city, although there were not many, only a few dozen, but many Jiannu lost their lives.

At this time, the third wave of Jiannu, including a Han army, and 2,000 Mongol soldiers also rushed to the moat, and they howled and rushed over the ladder to the bottom of the city. The first and second waves of men and horses, who had already lost their fighting spirit and had many people fleeing, saw the follow-up reinforcements of friendly troops coming up, and the shooting on the city head became more intensive, and they instinctively continued to climb through the ladder to the city head.

At this time, the Ming army at the head of the city dispersed, and a group of five strong men with thick shoulders came to the city wall with buckets of hot oil.

In the midst of shouts and screams, hot oil poured down from the city, and Jiannu, who climbed on the ladder and crowded under the city walls, was suddenly drenched all over his face. The hot oil poured on the body tasted so painful that there were no words to describe it.

The screams suddenly resounded in the sky above the north gate of Datong, and the fragrance of oil and meat wafted everywhere above and below the city wall.

Before Jiannu could react, a round of rockets was shot from the city, and the hot oil, which was already hot, burned in an instant. The fire soon spread, and most of the chaotic Jiannu were engulfed in the raging fire.

The Ming army at the head of the city also felt the unbearable heat, and they had to retreat a lot to avoid being burned.

Under the city walls, countless Jiannu wailed and struggled in the flames, and some of them were lucky enough to rush out of the fire and jump into the moat desperately, but they didn't know that the burned skin, when it came into contact with water, the pain was also very uncomfortable, and the muscles would spasm.

Many people jumped into the moat and never got ashore again!

The ladder that was originally erected on the city wall was burning and soon turned into charcoal.

The thousands of Jiannu who were covering the shooting were also damaged by the tragic situation in front of them, lost the courage to continue the attack, and retreated in panic, desperately retreating back together with those companions who were lucky enough to escape from the other side of the moat.

Kong Youde, who commanded the siege, couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw the three waves of men and horses in front of him suffer heavy losses. He strictly ordered all generals not to retreat and continue to attack, otherwise they would be killed. Soon, some of the people who fled were killed, and the soldiers behind did not dare to flee again, but they did not dare to attack.

Kong Youde could only order the fourth wave of men and horses, aside from the retreating chaotic soldiers, to attack again.

Similar to the direction of the north gate, Duoduo, who commanded the attack in the direction of the west gate, also found that the muskets of the Ming army on the city did not shoot immediately after he launched an attack, and the artillery did not fire, and his first thought was that the ammunition of the Datong army was exhausted.

But Duoduo immediately denied this judgment, this is impossible, Cao Yue could not be stupid enough to use up all the gunpowder one day before, and there was no ammunition available the next day. It can only be said that in Datong City, the stock of ammunition is insufficient.

Cao Yue is saving money, and he will not send a musket battalion to the field until the critical moment.

This made him happy and worried, happy that the muskets of the Ming army, which had huge lethality, were finally almost useless; Worriedly, he was worried that the Ming army deliberately put the stock of ammunition to deal with the Jurchen elite, which would be annoying. No one knows when the Ming army suddenly sent the musket battalion into the field and fired at the Jurchen elite who were besieging the city.

At present, the attacks in all directions are based on the Han army, the Korean army and the Mongolian Eight Banners as the main attack force, and the Jurchen Eight Banners are the last to play, the purpose is to fear that the Jurchen elite, which is not large in number, will suffer heavy losses.

Dodor immediately reported his findings and fears to Dorgon.

In fact, there is no need to remind Duoduo that Dolgon, who was fighting in the first place, also discovered the abnormal situation of the Ming army, and he immediately made a decision, the amount of gunpowder in the Ming army is insufficient, and today's such a method of warfare is not willing to waste gunpowder on the Han army and the Korean army, if the Jurchen Eight Banners are put into battle, their muskets and artillery will still shoot.

Dolgon could only decide not to send the Jurchen Eight Banners to the battlefield first, and continue to attack by the Han army, the Korean army and the Mongolian Eight Banners!
