When the Qing soldier who persuaded him to surrender returned to the Qing army camp and told Abatai of Pang Gang's words in 1510, he added fuel to the fire and said: "Rao Yu Belle, the Ming general said that he wanted to surrender him until we Manchu people learned to eat with chopsticks, he would not consider this problem, which is obviously ridiculing us Manchu people who have not yet been civilized, and they are only worthy of fighting wild boars in the deep mountains and old forests!" ”

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and as soon as the Qing soldier finished speaking, he was immediately slapped in the face, and the force was so great that he almost knocked out his teeth.

Abatai's face instantly turned from red to white, then from white to blue, and finally turned to purple and became furious, "These Han dogs are too deceitful!" ”

At this time, the Gushan Ezhen Duoluo Zihe Beizi of the Tumo Tezuo Banner on the side also roared indignantly: "My lord, you are right, those Han people deceive people too much, please order the siege of the city, I am willing to be the vanguard, but please promise that I will not seal the sword within seven days after the city is broken." ”

Dora Zihe's words also resonated with the generals, and they interjected one after another: "My lord, please give an order." After the attack, the sword will not be sealed within seven days! ”

Hayang Libeizi frowned and squinted at Doro Zihe, and said secretly in his heart, "I didn't see that this kid's heart is really ruthless, if it is really seven days without sealing the sword, there will be only a few people left after the capture of Dezhou City, doesn't he know that only by catching enough people and slaves is in the best interests of the Mongolian tribes?" Or is this guy really thinking of himself as a man. ”

Abatai's expression turned a few times, and finally reached out and pulled out a carved arrow from his waist, and with a strong hand, he only heard a "snap", and the carved arrow was suddenly broken into two, and then he gasped and said: "Okay, Ben Belle promises you that you will never seal the sword within seven days after the city is broken!" Now the divisions began to besiege the city. ”

"Scum!"

All the generals were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and one by one they screamed and urged their subordinates to attack the south gate of Texas.

Due to the limited siege equipment and troops, the Qing soldiers naturally could not bloom on all sides at the same time to attack the four gates of Dezhou City at the same time, so the south gate became a major example of their attack, the first to attack the south gate was the Mongol soldiers of Doro Zihe and Ha Yangli, they have launched several attacks on the city of Dezhou these days, and the south gate of Dezhou is already familiar with the car, and soon more than 3,000 Mongolian soldiers skillfully rushed towards the south gate of Dezhou under the cover of the shield car. For a time, the south gate of Texas was full of Mongol soldiers with scimitars and bows and arrows.

Seeing the Mongols slowly advancing, Ji Ruxing, who was standing at the head of the city, was already frightened and panicked, and shouted loudly in panic, "Open the cannon, the gunner hurry up and open the cannon." Drive the Tartars back now! ”

"Boom!"

A tiger squat cannon suddenly opened fire in a hurry under Ji Ruxing's order, but because the distance between the Mongolian soldiers and the city wall was still four hundred steps away, this cannon did not know where it hit.

Li Yuan, who was commanding on the side, was so angry that he kicked the gunner in charge of firing, pointed at the gunner's nose and scolded: "Bastard, who told you to shoot the cannon, the Tartar is still so far away, do you want to hit the Tartar or give yourself courage!" ”

The gunner who was kicked also knew that he had made a mistake, so he just squatted in place with his head down and was silent, which made Li Yuan stop being angry for a while.

And Pang Gang, who was standing beside Ji Ruxing, also stared at Ji Ruxing with a reproachful gaze and said: "Master Ji, don't forget that this place is now commanded by the lower official, since you have handed over the responsibility of command to the lower official, then please believe in the lower official once." ”

Ji Ruxing knew that he was at a loss, and smiled embarrassedly, "This official will pay attention to this, not as an example, not as an example, ah!" ”

Seeing that Ji Ruxing realized his mistake, Pang Gang was also embarrassed, turned his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city wall: "All the soldiers have listened to the officer, especially the gunners, without the order of the official or your direct superior, whoever fires the cannon indiscriminately will be unkind to him!" Now I will announce my military order again. Wartime Returners Fight! Those who fire guns without permission will fight! Those who do not act in unison fight! Those who do not listen to orders will be killed! ”

A word of slashing and sentence by sentence burst out of Pang Gang's mouth mercilessly, and the seriousness and seriousness of his voice made all the soldiers and generals who originally belonged to Texas realize that this Qianhu Lord from Qingzhou was definitely not joking with himself, if he made a mistake, he would really cut people.

Looking at the enemy troops approaching step by step pushing the shield cart in the distance, Pang Gang drew his scimitar and pointed it into the air and shouted: "Everyone knows what virtues Tartars are, they are all a group of beasts who kill people without blinking, if they are allowed to attack Texas City, all of us will not be spared." This officer hereby reiterates an order, if the soldiers die in this battle, the auxiliaries will follow, the auxiliaries will die, and the young and strong will follow, and if the men are all dead, the old and weak, women and children will also follow, and even if we fight to the last man, we will never surrender to the Tartars, lest we will not be able to enter the ancestral grave after death. Our army will win this battle! ”

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Thousands of soldiers on the city shouted the slogan of victory in unison, and for a while, the shouts from the city rushed forward like a tsunami, and Ji Ruxing on the side was stunned by this scene, and even Yi Jiang's face, who always had a black face, changed color.

And after this voice reached the ears of Abatai, who was slowly approaching Texas City with the attacking team, the Qing Kingdom Baylor, who had just issued the Seven Heavens Sealing Sword Order, couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face.

With the shield car gradually approaching, hundreds of shield cars gradually approached Texas City, the distance also reached two hundred steps, Pang Gang found that there were more than a dozen shield cars made very well, the shield car was placed under the four wheels, covered by thick wooden boards, and several layers of quilts were wrapped outside. The hundreds of shield carts next to them were much more rudimentary, and they looked obviously improvised with thick planks, and there were no wheels underneath, just a few planks under them for people to drag and haul.

The Qing army, on the other hand, hid behind the wide shield cart, so that the defenders on the city wall did not have a problem with them. Pang Gang could only vaguely see the faint shadow of the enemy behind the shield cart when he looked down at the city wall, Pang Gang visually inspected it with the naked eye, and found that although most of these shield carts were very rudimentary, they could not be destroyed with a bird gun unless they were hit by artillery with solid bullets.

At this time, Yi Jiang also came to Pang Gang's side and explained to Pang Gang with a dark face: "Huge people, there are enemy troops hidden in these more than a dozen shield carts with exquisite workmanship in front, and they will take the opportunity to attack the city after they send people to the city, we must not be on guard!" ”

"Hmm!" Pang Gang nodded, seeing that the shield cart below had already entered within two hundred steps, he turned his head and ordered: "Order the Franco machine to open fire!" ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

In the roar of the pieces, more than a dozen bronze Furlong cannons took the lead in firing, the Furlong cannon is a kind of artillery composed of a mother gun and a child gun, the mother gun body tube is slender, the caliber is small, the gun body is equipped with a front sight, a door, can aim and shoot at long-distance targets. He has a relatively long range and is quite powerful, and is one of the main artillery pieces of the Ming army.

With the fire of more than a dozen artillery pieces on the city, more than a dozen projectiles weighing about two pounds flew forward.

At this time, the first to attack the city was two Mongolian soldiers led by two Mongolian Beizi who followed the Qing soldiers to the south to plunder, and they took out the old bottom in order to show their faces in front of the Mongols.

"Smack!"

An iron projectile hit a shield cart that was rapidly pushing towards the city wall, and the huge impact force attached to the projectile knocked the originally sturdy shield cart apart, and the Mongolian soldiers who were originally hiding in the shield cart were also exposed.

"Good!"

Although only one of the dozen guns hit the target, Pang Gang couldn't ask for too much, after all, he couldn't ask for more in this era of primitive artillery, where it was almost a matter of luck to hit the enemy.

However, as the shield cart got closer and closer to the city wall, the hit rate of the Furlong machine ran higher and higher, and the shield cart was constantly hit and destroyed. After the wagon was destroyed, the Mongol soldiers who had been hiding behind them were revealed. At this time, more than a dozen tiger squat cannons on the city wall came in handy, and with the fire of the tiger squat cannons, the exposed Mongolian soldiers were smashed into flesh and blood by the lead bullets scattered from the sky.

Although many Mongolian soldiers were holding large shields, but after being hit by lead bullets, the huge impact still broke their bones and tendons, Pang Gang saw with his own eyes that dozens of Mongolian soldiers who were hit by lead bullets did not die for a while, fell to the ground and wailed loudly, but their companions did not pay attention to them, but continued to raise the shields and weapons in their hands and continued to advance towards the city wall.

Seeing this, Pang Gang frowned slightly, and asked Yi Jiangdao, who had been following him, "Master Yi, are these Mongolian soldiers in charge of attacking the city these days?" ”

Yi Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, these Mongols are responsible for attacking the city these days, and those Manchu Tartars are only responsible for supervising the battle in the back." On several occasions, the Mongols almost took Texas, but in the end they inexplicably retreated. ”

Pang Gang snorted coldly: "That's because the Tartars attracted reinforcements from the vicinity to come, and wanted to annihilate the Ming army near Texas in one fell swoop, so as to prepare for them to continue to plunder south." ”

"Yes, that's what the official thinks!" Yi Jiang nodded and echoed.

While Pang Gang and Yi Jiang were talking, the Mongolian soldiers had successively pushed the shield cart to the bottom of the city, and after these days of siege, these Mongolian soldiers seemed to have been trained, and began to set up a ladder to climb up in an orderly manner, and those archers who were good at shooting bows and arrows under the city began to shoot arrows at the head of the city to suppress the defenders on the head of the city.
