Boiling oil, dung water, stones, wood and other items were all transported to the city wall, several cauldrons have been erected, the firewood under the iron pot has been ignited, a large number of sergeants began to guard the city wall, facing the black pressure in front of the city gate, Zhang Fengyi is desperate.

He knew very well that there was no other way out except to resist desperately and hold the city, because of negligence, because of course, he was not able to grasp the whereabouts of the Tartars, and he was not able to make an accurate judgment.

What is the outcome after the city is broken, there is no need to think about it, the slaughter of the city is certain, it is estimated that when the time comes, the huge Changping Mansion City will not be able to leave anything.

The common people were also organized, and all the young men under the age of fifty and over the age of fifteen were put into reserve among the soldiers who defended the city, and all the houses near the city wall were demolished, stones and wood were brought to the city wall, and the remaining loose earth was brought to the city gate, which was blocked and the Tartars were prevented from breaking through the gate and rushing in.

All the preparations were carried out very quickly.

Zhang Fengyi stood on top of the city wall, looking at the black and oppressive tartars below, and there was no fear in his eyes.

Once you enter that atmosphere and environment, fear doesn't have much effect, he is the backbone of the entire Changping Mansion, if there is also a fear of emotion, then there is no need to defend the city, open the city gate and surrender directly.

Azig was ready to attack.

The bow and crossbow he carried had never been used, and when attacking the city, two charges broke open the city gate, and it almost didn't take much effort, even when attacking Baoding City. I was reluctant to take out a bow and crossbow to use, but now it finally came in handy. The sergeants he led would rather lose their gold and silver treasures, but they could not discard their weapons, especially weapons with great power such as bows and crossbows. It will be punished severely.

Seeing the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were busy preparing, and their spirits were not bad, Azig suddenly had a hunch, could it be that there were important officials of the Ming Dynasty in the city of Changping Mansion, and after years of conquest, he still knew some of the situation, the army of the Ming Dynasty. The combat effectiveness is indeed not good, but if there is a tough officer in command, or if the ministers of the court take the lead, the sergeants below can still resist.

Thinking of this, Azig, who had been gloomy all the time, had a long-lost smile on his face, and if this was the case, he would be able to save some face.

Crossbowmen and archers were ready. Wait for Azig to give orders.

The reason why I waited for a while was to let as many Ming soldiers as possible walk up the city wall. The power of bows and crossbows and arrows can be maximized, and I believe that after several rounds of dense arrow rain, the Ming army defending the city will most likely collapse, at that time. The soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom began to attack the city, which was able to reduce a lot of losses.

As Azig drew his steel knife, the offensive began.

Countless bows and arrows shot at the city wall, and the powerful crossbow rushed to the city wall with the sound of the wind.

In a flash. There was a scream, and several sergeants who were guarding the battlements were shot by a rain of arrows, and fell off the city wall screaming, and they could not die again.

The rain of arrows in the Tartars was very tricky, and the strength was very great, and many soldiers on the city wall were caught off guard and were shot by the rain of arrows, even Zhang Fengyi, who was almost shot by the rain of arrows.

This is the gap in strength, the Ming army also has bows and arrows and crossbows, but the strength and accuracy, compared with the Tartars, there is a big gap, but there is a gap, at this time, it is necessary to shoot, otherwise, wait a while, the Tartars' arrow rain is getting denser and denser, and there are not many soldiers left on the city wall.

A part of the Ming army finally came to their senses and raised their shields to block the rain of arrows in the sky.

Zhang Fengyi also gave an order, and the crossbowmen and archers began to fight back, and as for the wounded sergeant, naturally someone came up to help him down or carry him down.

The two sides began to shoot at each other.

According to the explanation, the army has the advantage, after all, it is fired from a high place to a low place, but the actual situation is just the opposite, the Ming army shot a rain of arrows, soft, and did not even shoot into the Tartar team, and fell lightly in mid-air.

Looking at all this, Zhang Fengyi thought about scolding, how could a sergeant have such a quality and confront the Tartars, but he couldn't scold, he had served as the secretary of the military department for so many years, and the following situation, if he didn't know anything about it, it was fake, and he had also received a lot of tribute, how could these gold and silver treasures be taken for nothing.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi could only hold on, and such a situation was a great blow to morale, and the difference in strength between the sergeants on both sides was fully revealed.

The rain of arrows is still falling, and the Tartars have begun to attack the city.

A group of Tartars, carrying ladders, began to rush towards the city wall, and the Ming army on the city wall was so pressed by the rain of arrows that they did not dare to raise their heads, and they did not care about defending the Tartars who were preparing to attack.

Zhang Fengyi's heart was dripping blood, if this situation continued, the Tartars would be able to attack the city wall with a round of charge, and at that time, any rhetoric would have no effect.

When the ladder was erected, Zhang Fengyi made a bold move, he pushed away the sergeant beside him, picked up the steel knife, walked directly to the battlements, and slashed at the ladder with a knife.

Soon, the sergeants on the city wall began to move, and the commander stood next to the battlements, dodging the flying bows and arrows, while asking many sergeants to be ready, and some of the sergeants did not care about the rain of arrows, and began to push away the ladder that had been erected, although there were certain casualties in the process, but the ladder of the Tartar could not be erected, and it was impossible to climb the city wall.

Some sergeants began to act, and the rest of the sergeants on the city wall finally stabilized and no longer panicked, although there was still a rain of arrows coming, but they could not survive in the end, so under the command of the officer, the sergeant began to return to the designated position and launched a counterattack.

Azig, who was under the city walls, was surprised when he saw this scene.

When attacking the city, he did not use a bow and crossbow, just a round of arrows rain, so that the soldiers defending the city collapsed, in a short time, the attacking brother went up to the city wall, controlled the situation, did not think of attacking Changping City, actually encountered such a situation.

Changping Mansion City and Baoding Mansion City, there are still some differences, Baoding Mansion City has artillery, which is more taboo in Azig, artillery can cause great casualties, is a sharp weapon to defend the city, when Azig attacked, in order to avoid a lot of brother casualties, there was no forced attack, but Changping Mansion City did not have artillery, completely relied on the sergeant to guard, and could not think of being able to resist round after round of arrow rain.

Finding such a situation, Azig believed even more that there must be an important official of the Ming Dynasty in the city of Changping Mansion, and if he could take Changping Mansion and capture this important official alive, everything would be easy to say.

Azig didn't care too much about losses, the siege was already full of dangers, and the more he feared losses, the more losses would be caused, so he gave the order to storm.

The assault began, and the pressure to defend the city increased suddenly.

Countless crossbows and arrows were fired at the city walls, and the casualties of the sergeants increased dramatically, and the number of tartars who charged increased.

Zhang Fengyi couldn't care about his own safety, the first round of Tartar's charge was the most powerful, and he had to be defended, which could increase the confidence of the sergeant and combat the arrogance of the Tartar.

The smell of oil and the smell of dung were intertwined, accompanied by bursts of screams, and the corpses of Tartars began to appear under the city walls.

Many stones were also thrown downward, and the sergeant's archery skills were not good, but in the face of the Tartar climbing up, he was still able to shoot, and by this time, the sergeant could not think of being afraid, unless he fell, he would hold the city wall, and he would not be able to let the Tartar attack.

A group of Tartars, carrying the wood, began to pound the city gates, but unfortunately they soon found out that the city gates had been blocked, and it was impossible to break them open.

Half an hour later, the first round of assault stopped.

Azig had red eyes, looking at the Ming troops on the city wall, eager to kill these Ming soldiers with his eyes.

The strategists put forward a suggestion to attack from the rest of the directions, disperse the forces of the Ming army, and wait until the Ming army's defending forces were dispersed, and seize the opportunity to break through the city wall from one direction.

Azig was quick to grant such a suggestion.

Zhang Fengyi found that when the Tartars began to divide the troops, they felt very bad, there were a lot of people defending the city, but there were not many people who really had combat effectiveness, and the people of the city could only be mobilized to the city wall in a desperate situation, and they also needed to be constantly encouraged, the people were different from the sergeants, and they had hardly seen such bloody scenes, if they were afraid, or even fled from the battle, it would greatly affect the morale of the army.

But it is not realistic to divide the troops, in case the Tartars break through from the direction of the remaining city gates, everything is over.

The sergeants on the frontal guard had to be relocated to the rest of the directions.

The four sides, southeast, northwest, and northwest, were guarded by sergeants.

Zhang Fengyi was still waiting in the direction of the main entrance.

The Tartars in the remaining three directions were not many in number, basically one or two thousand people, and they did not attack.

Zhang Fengyi had already discovered the purpose of the Tartars, but he had no choice, there were not many troops in his hands, and he had to be guarded against in any direction, otherwise there was a danger of being broken into the city.

The situation is getting more and more dangerous, Zhang Fengyi's heart is sinking, it has reached a critical moment, he doesn't know how long Lu Dao can last, if the city is broken, he can only commit suicide, and he can't bear the insult of being captured by the Tartars. (To be continued......)
