According to the casualties, the generals of the 12th regiment and battalion died a total of 497, and more than 500 were still alive. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to those who were burned to death, a large number of them were injured after the battle, and finally died of blood loss.

After dealing with the affairs of the camp on the north side, Zhang Ru immediately ordered some people to stay and take care of the wounded, while he led the others straight to Deshengmen.

Wan An, the time has come to fight to the death.

Deshengmen's side was completely chaotic, and Deshengmen, which had become precarious because of the attack of the border army outside the city, stabilized its position again after Lu Jiugang brought people to support. Outside, the border army led by Zhang An suffered very heavy casualties, relying on human heads.

Attacking a city is different from defending a city, as it only involves throwing stones and logs underneath, and without these medium weapons, you can also deal damage to enemies with hot oil and gold juice. Guarding against rams at ladders and gates at all times can barely support it for a while. As long as there is enough food and grass, some cities can even withstand the onslaught of an army of 100,000 and struggle to support it.

Siege is different, erecting a ladder is a dangerous job, sometimes the ladder is just erected when it is fine, once someone goes up, the people above start pushing.

It is difficult to cause effective damage to the enemy when attacking arrows from the back, especially in a very high place like the capital, where you can attack with a bow and arrow, and you may be injured by your own people after falling.

The siege cone can break through the wooden gates, but once the people in the city decide to defend and pile up earth and stones behind the gates, the siege cones are basically useless.

When a piece of wood comes down, the huge impact force can knock down a piece, and the density of people in the project below is high, so the casualties caused are very huge.

After a few hours of hard fighting, the wounded kept being carried out here, and Zhang An felt that he couldn't go on like this.

The defense of the capital is extremely strong, and if it continues like this, even if the 200,000 border troops are all thrown outside the Desheng Gate, it will not be enough to see.

He ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and after resting for about an hour, he launched another onslaught.

This time, there were relatively few people in battle, some of whom were responsible for erecting ladders, while others were concentrating on ramming the gates with battering cones.

In a short period of time, the people in the city could not find such earth and stones to completely seal the city gate, so there were relatively many people attacking the city gate.

"Grandpa, it's not a matter to fight like this!" Ma Xuan looked at the crowded Beijing army at the head of the city, and looked worried.

His people didn't go into battle, and he found a very lame reason, that is, he was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he would never take the initiative to attack the city of the Ming Dynasty.

The implication is nothing more than that unless all the border troops are killed, it is impossible for him, the Datong soldiers, to make any moves.

Wang Zhou ignored his lame reason, and at first he thought that he would be able to capture the capital quickly.

I didn't expect the defenders in the city to hold out for so long, and they still didn't get tired. At this time, as soon as Ma Xuan spoke, Wang Zhou's anger was ignited: "You don't talk cool there, you hide all your own people, and you don't care about brotherhood at all." ”

Ma Zhang's face turned red when he brushed it: "What do you mean, now that everyone is in the same boat, you are bent on finding fault." ”

Wang Zhou rolled his eyes and looked at Ma Xuan with disdain: "What about finding fault!" Ma Xuan, don't forget who you rely on today. If something happens to the boss, I'm afraid that you will be the first to surrender. ”

Zhang An's somewhat gray eyebrows moved: "Don't make any noise, you have to quarrel after the fight." Ma Zhang, your people will immediately go into battle, and if it continues like this, the 200,000 army will have to be finished. ”

Ma Xuan muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Isn't there a little reinforcement in the city?" ”

Fortunately, the voice is not very loud, otherwise he and Wang Zhou may really fight because of this incident.

He was a little reluctant to arrange his own people to go into battle, and when arranging, he secretly instructed his subordinates not to take risks easily.

It is very important for him to preserve his strength.

After the battle of Datong ended, he regretted participating in the rebellion, which was proposed by Wang Zhou, and he agreed with a headache and brain fever.

Later, his father Ma Wensheng wrote to him, and after reading his father's analysis, he felt that he had gone further and further on the wrong path.

In the end, he parted ways with Wang Zhou, and between the brothers, he also left a lot of mustard.

The shouting of killing continued, Zhang An frowned, he now hoped that Zhang Ru in the city could help quickly.

And at this moment, Fan Tong and a group of brothers who rushed to the clouds and the secret guard were nesting in a restaurant where no one was around. The location of this restaurant is good, you can see the activities of the people at the head of the city, and you can also see the activities of the rebels at the gate of the city.

"General Fan, I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this! With the current strength of the rebels, the casualties outside the city should not be small. If Master Hou blames him, no one can afford it. A cloud-riding soldier said with a worried face.

Fan Tong looked at the city head expressionlessly: "The order given to me by the boss is not to risk yourself easily, and wait for him to bring reinforcements over." With our current number of people, it is impossible to come and go freely among the rebels of tens of thousands of horses. Not to mention opening the city gate, it is to solve some problems with the camp under the city gate. ”

A battalion is a large group of several hundred people, and he has only more than a hundred people under his command, so it is indeed not an easy task to guard against the enemy's hidden arrows and effectively kill and wound.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves finally came, and Fan Tong, who was nesting in the small building, stood up suddenly: "Reinforcements are coming, everyone is ready to attack at any time." ”

He didn't dare to take the initiative with more than a hundred people, but now that reinforcements are coming, he must attack.

With so many charlatans mixed in, it is really not difficult to bring effective damage to the enemy.

Because the eyes of the crossbowmen will definitely be attracted by those cavalry, and the cavalry's attack ability on flat ground is much greater than that of foot soldiers.

Once the eyes of these crossbowmen are attracted by the cavalry, the men under him can see the seams.

When he saw that the person who took the lead was not Zhang Ru, but Zhu Yong, Fan Tong did not rashly let people attack, but continued to lurk.

As soon as Zhu Yong arrived, the first thing he did was to persuade him to surrender.

After all, cultivating so many elite Beijing troops is not an easy task for Daming or for him. He couldn't bear to see these people go further and further down the wrong path.

Naturally, it can't be some shrimp soldiers and crab generals who can talk to Zhu Yong, so when Mr. Qian, who was defending against the sneak attack in the city, found out that the person who came was Baoguo Gong, he immediately notified Zhou Yanshan and Lu Jiugang.

Knowing that Zhu Yong was coming, Lu Jiugang and Zhou Yanshan changed color, and the two said in unison: "Lead me forward." (To be continued.) )
