Chapter 241: Deadly Fireworks
In this way, the two sides insisted for more than half an hour, the city was covered with the corpses of the Ming people, there were few Ming people alive, and the rolling wood and stones on the city consumed most of them, and the young and strong Tai who assisted in the city were half killed and wounded, and the Ming people in the city and under the city almost shed blood.

The clamor and clamor of the city gradually stopped. Up to this time, almost all the blood flowing in the city was the blood of the Ming people, and it was the lives of the Ming people that were consumed.
Seeing all this misery, the soldiers of the Broken Soldiers were red-eyed, and the pain of slaughtering their own people made them crazy, and they couldn't wait to build slaves to attack the city and vent the anger in their hearts.
Of course, Jiannu did not disappoint the soldiers of the Broken Army, and the Mongolian soldiers and Jiannu soldiers in the rear rushed to the city, stepped on the corpses of Han people and erected a ladder to begin the siege.
At this time, the firecrackers in the city were full of energy and opened fire on Jiannu, even ignoring the rain of arrows, and the scream of the arrows immediately and the roar of the firecrackers that rang out from time to time echoed, and people on both sides continued to fall to the ground with casualties.
Zhuozhou Qingzhuang threw the remaining rolling wood and stones into the city as much as possible, causing heavy casualties to the slave soldiers in the city, but it was the Mongols who landed in the city first, and the damage to the slaves was not serious.
Next, the stones and wood began to thin out, there was no way, there were so many rolling wood stones stored in Zhuozhou, and the entry of Jiannu was extremely abrupt, and the cities in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty were not ready for battle, which was also the reason why many cities were drummed down.
At this time, the Jiannu brigade, which had been buried in the battle, finally moved, and more than 2,000 people began to flock to the ladder, and at the same time, the archers began to shoot frantically to help them with all their might, completely ignoring the sore arms.
After all, there are a large number of archers, and they occupy the top spot in the confrontation of the same firefighters. With the increase in casualties among the musketeers and the problem of the musketeers being discharged. The salvo of the fire bolt was interrupted. Now the fire gun is just a riposte from Xingsan.
At this time, the fool can also see that Jiannu occupies the upper peak, and now he can only count on the battle for the head of the city, after all, the Jiannu armor soldiers will not release arrows when they reach the city, and the archers in the rear will not release arrows, and then it will depend on the fight between the Jiannu armor soldiers and the defenders.
An Yongde, Xilao and the others are now as pale as the earth, of course they know that the final decisive battle has arrived, but they are extremely unoptimistic about the defenders.
Zhuozhou City Zhou Jiuli. Each city wall means more than two miles, now the north city on the strong loss of exhaustion, only the guard of the close front of the broken soldiers, there is no backup, although these soldiers are strong, but hold on for a while, once the casualties are very heavy there is no place to make up, can only be a big collapse.
After all, An Yongde was born in the army, and he still had some courage, he led more than 100 people from his cronies to rush forward to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with Jiannu. And Silao, Francisco and other Portuguese also went out in armor, all of them fought hard. Seeing Jiannu's atrocities of killing people without blinking, they had no idea of surrendering, and it was better to die a decent death than to fall into a miserable situation.
At this time, the same pessimistic was the prefect Li Heng Li, who was watching the battle in the highest drum tower, and Lord Li, who wanted to watch the enemy situation but did not dare to get too close to Jiannu, thought that he had chosen a good place, where the drum tower could watch the enemy situation and be far enough away from the bloody scene.
However, after going to the drum tower, Li Heng regretted this, what he saw was three Jiannu sieges, especially the North City and the West City were the most violent, both of which drove the people of the Ming Dynasty to attack the city, and the battle was extremely tragic from the beginning.
Dongcheng Azig was to contain the Ming army and prevent the Ming army in Dongcheng from supporting Beicheng and Xicheng, which made Li Lu, the defender of Dongcheng, hate it so much, that there was no war, and he could not divide his forces to support the other two cities, so he could only sit and wait for the results of the other two cities.
Li Heng was worried about Beicheng for a while, and anxious for Xicheng for a while, sweating all over his clothes, trembling at the height of the Drum Tower in winter, and he couldn't let go of his heart to return to the mansion.
When he saw that the rolling wood and stones of the defenders of the north city and the west city were almost exhausted at the same time, Li Heng had a premonition that something was wrong, according to his thoughts, the rolling wood and stones were the last hope for defending the city, and the Ming army and Jiannu were afraid of hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that the enemy was outnumbered, and Zhuozhou would undoubtedly fall.
The ending has been decided, Li Heng didn't sweat at this time, and his hands and feet also had some strength, he asked the servants to help him go downstairs, he wanted to go back to the mansion, it was a big deal to commit suicide and martyrdom, he still had this bit of courage, and he must not fall into the hands of Jiannu, life is better than death.
Many people on the street looked around anxiously and inquired, the sound of Zhuozhou's attack and defense shook the sky, how did the ending affect their lives, and Jiannu's reputation for murder was far and wide, how could they not be anxious.
Li Heng looked at these people and sighed, I don't know how many people can survive after the city falls.
When Li Heng, a Ming official, returned to his mansion in despair and waited for his death, the spears of the Broken Army in Beicheng were wielding spears and fighting hand-to-hand with the Mongolian soldiers and Jiannu armor soldiers who began to attack the city.
The number of pikemen is extremely insufficient, many people have been killed and wounded in the previous battles, and now there are only more than 400 pikemen in the northern city, and they can only barely seal the city.
Fortunately, Zhao Lie's guards and An Yongde's guards made up more than 300 people, and the pikemen were responsible for blocking the city.
The Jiannu armor soldiers wearing cotton armor and iron armor on the outside went up the ladder violently, and when they approached the city, they attracted a frantic blow from the pikemen of the Broken Army, and the two sides were unable to hold each other for a while, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides fell to the city.
With the passage of time, two city defenses were broken through, one rushed in with nearly ten armor soldiers surrounded and killed by dozens of An Yongde guards, and another place where ten armor soldiers killed pikemen and rushed to the city, and was immediately intercepted and killed by Yu Dabao and dozens of guards.
When there was a loud bang, a long-handled broadsword was knocked away by Yu Dabao's iron rod, and the short and strong Jiannu armor soldier who lost the long-knife took two steps back, at this time his arms were numb, and the tiger's mouth burst out, and he just wanted to retreat from the Ming Dynasty.
It's just not so easy, two spears on the side stabbed Jiannu like a poisonous dragon, Jiannu armor soldiers tried their best to dodge one spear, the other spear couldn't avoid anything, the spear broke through the armor's breastplate and penetrated into Jiannu's body, Jiannu armor let out a long howl, and struggled to the ground.
Yu Dabao opened the iron rod and knocked several Jiannu's weapons one after another. The other guards around him were taking advantage of the fire to rob. Successive sneak attacks succeeded. Soon, the ten armor soldiers in the upper city were slaughtered. The corpse was thrown off the city, while An Yongde's guards on the other side were still fighting with Jiannu's armor.
At this moment, there was a continuous roaring sound from the west of the city, and the thunderous sound made the two sides of the fierce battle involuntarily stop for a moment.
Damn, I didn't expect the west of the city to explode first, and Zhao Lie, who had been waiting for Jiannu to accumulate more personnel under the city, scolded, I can't bear it when I want to come to the west of the city, so don't wait.
Zhao Lie raised his hand. The trumpeter beside him blew a long sound, the low brass horn and the sharp suona sounded for a long time, and a dry firecracker and gunner came out, appearing on the north city wall on average, one by one tightly tied cloth bag, and at the same time lit the fire rope on the bag, and threw the cloth bag hard to the city.
The Jiannu armor soldiers waiting on the ladder and under the city watched more than a hundred smoking packages rolling down from the sky, everyone knew that it was extremely bad, what the hell was this, they had a hunch that it was not a good thing.
Boom, boom, boom. In the continuous roar, some of the explosives were packed in the crowd under the city. Some of them burst open near the city, and the small pieces of iron inside splashed everywhere, but they didn't do much damage to the armored Jiannu.
The pill bag is made of black powder, and the power is not great, but the shock wave generated by the explosion of the explosive bag can still destroy objects within four or five steps, and many Jiannu shocks and fall out, and even some Jiannu got on a dirt plane, and their bodies rose more than a foot, and then fell, and the internal organs inside had already been destroyed.
The successive explosions under the northern city of Zhuozhou killed half of the soldiers under Jiannu City, and the armored soldiers on the ladder fell miserably in the air several feet high with the shattering of the ladder, and fell to the ground and broke their bones and tendons.
Of course, there were many corpses on the ground, and some lucky ones fell down with a buffer, but their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and there were no casualties.
Fang Dongmen and Lu You waited for the Han army to drive away the Han people, and then received the job of helping the Jurchen armor soldiers to support the ladder, when the gunpowder bag flew down, a package fell on the right side of the two of them, Lu You had a hunch that this was not a good thing, and hurriedly picked up the iron shield to protect the two, after a bang, the two had an iron shield buffer, and they were hit by the air wave and fell out, as for the iron shield has been deformed.
Huang Taiji was watching the progress of the battle in the rear, seeing that the armor soldiers began to enter the city, he thought that it was a matter of time before he attacked the city, after all, the first sharp weapon to defend the city, the rolling wood and stone, was gone, and the Ming army could not last long with blood and hand-to-hand combat.
He secretly ruthless, after entering the city for three days did not seal the knife, the Zhuozhou Ming army can be said to be a bad thing for him, so that he lost a lot of armor soldiers and the sixth brother, so that the attack on the Ming Jingshi had to be terminated, which made him hate it to the bone, if the Ming army commander was captured alive, he must have made this Nikan regret coming to the world.
The roar in the west of the city made Huang Taiji extremely surprised, inexplicably, I thought that someone would report the battle situation in Xicheng for a while, and at this time, with the bursting of many packages on the ground, Huang Taiji finally understood what was going on in Xicheng.
I saw that most of the soldiers were engulfed in fire and smoke, and the armor soldiers who rose up and fell in mid-air made his heart ache, all of them were battle-hardened Bayala and armor soldiers, who were the pillars of the Jurchen army, and died in vain under the city of Zhuozhou.
Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered Mingjin to collect the troops, the gong of the collection of troops sounded in a splendid manner, and a group of soldiers and armor who were hit by the impact of the explosive bag were embarrassed to collect the troops and return, at this time there were some sporadic medicine bags thrown down from the city, and then wreaked havoc under the city, and the chaotic city was dug again, so that the city was in a mess, and the wreckage of flags, ladders, armor, and people was scattered everywhere.
Huang Taiji's heart is so dangerous, if he hesitates for a moment, I am afraid that more soldiers will die on the spot, he watched many soldiers withdraw from the city one after another and flee quickly, and some are obviously injured, walking crookedly, and they can't even walk normally.
At this time, the musketeers of the Ming army in the city began to rage again, and a burst of guns knocked down the Jiannu armor soldiers who did not have time to retreat to the ground, as long as Jiannu fell to the ground, the city sent out bursts of cheers, which was a cheer of victory and a show off of the victors.
Lu You's arms were numb by the air waves, and his chest and abdomen ached, he was supported by Fang Dongmen to walk backwards, crawling, during which the two narrowly avoided the bombardment of the firecracker, and even crawled out of most of the ground, only then did he lie on the ground panting and glad that he had escaped.
Huang Taiji looked at everything in front of him with a blue face, his heart was depressed and he wanted to vomit blood, and he was about to go down with a drum, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in a moment, and the Dajin army was defeated and returned, Huang Taiji could only keep cursing in his heart, what else could he do.
He quickly thought about whether he could continue to attack the city, look at everything under the city, he quickly rejected this idea, I don't know how many of these medicine bags there are in the Ming army, if there are still a lot, even if all the soldiers go up, even if they capture the city, I am afraid there will not be a few people left.
