The clanging war drums and the low sound of the horn sounded again, and this time a large crowd of people approached the city of Jinan, this time it was not a tentative attack on the north city, but nearly 100,000 people were driven to attack the city from three directions, east, west and north. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the last experience, Yan Jizu, who was standing at the head of the city at this time, performed a lot better, but the sea of people covering the fields outside the northern city still gave him great pressure, and the formation of tens of thousands of people attacking made him dizzy, and the beating of war drums made him tremble, of course, the cries of the Ming people, which were much louder than the last time, were also tormenting him.

Bao Chengxian, the first-class commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty, was commanding the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to drive 20,000 Ming civilians to attack the northern city.

Bao Chengxian is an old man with a short figure, he has changed his hairstyle, and because of the relationship between the goldfish eyes, he is really not much different from the Jurchens now.

Bao Chengxian, who has been a slave for nearly 20 years, is already a loyal hound of the Jurchens, and at this time he is carrying out the orders given to him by his master, Azige.

"Let your subordinates be watchful, so that these Nikan people can't be interrupted, and they must be connected, so that they can consume the rolling wood and stones of the defenders, you can wait to know."

Bao Chengxian shouted loudly to several generals and guerrillas, if you don't shout, you can't do it, at this time, all kinds of noise are too loud, and several subordinates are bowing down to salute and take the order.

More than 4,000 Han Red Banner soldiers under Bao Chengxian began to drive 20,000 people towards the moat.

The tragic scene of the previous days was staged again, but this time the number of people was more than doubled, because seventy or eighty thousand people were driven to the city from three sides by the Han Eight Banners to consume the baggage of the defenders.

At the beginning of the moat, the defenders' bows and firebolts began to shoot, after a few days of familiarity, their attack effect is much better, at least a dense blow has been formed, but the number is still too small, the infantry archers and firecrackers add up to only a few hundred, guarding the front several miles wide, their attack only made more than a thousand people fall to the ground and struggle, more crowds still poured through the moat, after all, the upturn has been filled, and it is easy to cross the river.

Of course, the Ming army in the city could not come out to excavate, so they could only sit and watch the enemy continue to use these buried passages.

As soon as these people crossed the moat, the roar sounded, and more than 20 large and small Franc machine cannons began to roar, spraying thousands of scattered bombs on the front end of these crowds, and immediately hundreds of people were knocked to the ground, and many people's bodies had been beaten and deformed, the scene was bloody and cruel, but the defenders had no mercy and softness at this time, because these people were just to consume the baggage on the city and explore the way for the Jiannu army.

Only by destroying these people with as little consumption as possible can we leave more rolling wood and stones to use on the Han Eight Banners and the Jurchens, otherwise the whole city will die.

At this time, many people were intimidated by the bloody scene and began to stagnate, but the people behind were forced forward by the Han army with knives and guns, pushing the people who were afraid of stagnation to continue to move forward, and the people behind were also helpless.

By this time the people in front of them had already reached the bottom of the city, and they tried not to look at the corpses of those who had died here a few days ago piled up on the ground, and they erected the ladder and began to ascend the city.

The rope-bearing logs, stones, and beams of the city were also pushed down by the young men who defended the city, and immediately the wailing and screaming increased by several levels.

These heavy wood and stones either smashed directly on the people, or smashed the ladder, causing the people to fall under the city, and causing heavy casualties to the Ming people under the city.

But the people behind were still driven up by the Han Eight Banners, as if it was endless.

Liu Derang frowned and looked at everything in front of him, he secretly beat the drum in his heart, there were too many people, although in the past few days, the city has mobilized all the manpower to demolish a lot of temples and theater houses, a lot of wood and stone have been moved to the city, and more have been piled up under the ramps in the city, ready to be transported to the city at any time, but seeing the current situation, I still feel extremely insufficient.

He hurriedly came to the gatehouse to meet Yan Jizu,

"My lord, these wood and stones are still insufficient. Can Han County order people to take people to demolish the houses near the city wall and prepare wood and stones? ”

Liu Derang bowed.

"This," Yan Jizu stumbled, this matter is too big, if it is all demolished, then thousands of people must be homeless.

"My lord, the wood and stone are consumed too quickly, and if there is no continuous help, this city will not be able to hold it."

Liu Derang was a little anxious.

Yan Jizu looked at Liu Derang, Liu Derang didn't care what he was inferior to at this time, he didn't back down and looked back at the governor.

Yan Jizu only saw firmness in his eyes, and did not flinch, Yan Jizu understood that this was Liu Derang's true words, and he couldn't keep it if he didn't do it.

"This official will order the demolition of the house." Yan Jizu sighed, when is this day a head, he, the governor of Shandong, has become the governor of the demolition of houses, which is really insulting.

At this time, thousands of Jiannu armor soldiers approached the moat to shoot arrows at the head of the city, and the arrows flew locusts, which immediately brought a large number of casualties to the young men defending the city, after all, they only had to leave the protection of the wooden shield if they threw down the rolling wooden stones, that is, the target of the arrows, although they were all feather arrows and not heavy arrows that broke the armor, but the damage to the young men without protection was still great.

Jiannu drove the people to attack the city, one is to consume the arrows, artillery guns and rolling wood and stones of the city head and defend the city, and then use this opportunity to kill and injure the defenders and young men who defend the city, in short, to do everything possible to weaken the strength of the defending side, and wait for the side defending the city to exhaust the main force and then send out to attack the city, and then go down with a drum.

Of course, now with the Han Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners, these effective eagle dogs, the Jurchen Eight Banners really don't have to go into battle shirtless, they are now mainly fighting in the field to break the enemy, the problem is that there are too few Ming troops who dare to fight with them in the field, and now they are more often the ones who play soy sauce, sitting and watching the Han Eight Banners conquer the city.

At this time, the city of Jinan became a company surrounding, the people under the city suffered great casualties from the attack of the city's firearms, artillery and rolling wood and stones, and the defenders and young men in the city were killed by the arrows of the Jiannu armor soldiers.

All the firepower in the city didn't have time to consider them, and all the long-range bow and crossbow artillery guns of the defenders were eager to bombard the people of the city to prevent them from landing on the city, where could the defenders, who had not many long-range weapons, take care of too much.

To put it bluntly, the blood of the Ming people is still flowing up and down the city of Jinan, and Jiannu is like a bystander watching with a smile.

At this time, not a single common man in the city could climb the top of the city, they were killed and wounded by the rain of wood, stone, feathers, arrows and firearms, and fell to death or rolled for their lives in various postures under the city, and the bloody scenes of thousands of casualties presented an extremely ferocious war scene.

The casualties of the young Zhuang in the city are also not small, although most of them are arrow wounds, which are not fatal, but this can make them lose their combat power immediately, they can not defend the city, they can only retreat and wrap their wounds, and the young Zhuang collected by Jinan City are more than 40,000 people in total.

There are more than 20,000 people prepared for the city, and the rest of the personnel are still demolishing houses and transporting wood and stone to the city, which is not easy.

Therefore, when Liu Derang heard that his subordinates reported that nearly 1,000 people had been lost in Beicheng, he was also extremely painful.

There was no way for him to order the young men who were waiting in the city to transfer another thousand people, and he estimated that if the consumption continued, these young men would not be able to survive for two days.

He looked at the dense crowd of people under the city who were attacking the city, and then looked at the army of Jiannu who had not been dispatched by the Han Eight Banners, and he had an estimate in his heart, I am afraid that this Jinan City will not be able to hold it, and this city head is the boundary where he died, but what about his family.

He shook his head, he didn't want to, he didn't care about anything else, he had already explained when the family left, if the city was broken, none of the female relatives in the family should live to cut themselves, so as not to be humiliated, as for the two sons, alas, see if the will of heaven can escape the slaughter of Jiannu.

What, if Jiannu doesn't slaughter the city, it's just a joke, the general city will be raped and plundered, most of the old and weak in the city will be killed, and the young and strong men and women will be plundered, not to mention the Jinan City with such a fierce resistance, Liu Derang can imagine that Jiannu must be left behind after entering the city, and it may be that some women are left to vent their desires, and other Ming people will not die well.

This is also the reason why Liu Derang let the female dependents of the family cut themselves, and made it clear why he had to steal his life if he was humiliated.

"Liu Chengchen, you immediately go down to the city to supervise Qingzhuang and immediately carry the wood and stone to the city, now more than half of the wood and stone are consumed, and if you don't transport it up, it will be sold out."

Liu Derang shouted loudly in the midst of a cacophony.

The general manager Liu Chengchen hurriedly took the order and left, it is true that if it is consumed like this, the wood and stone will not last long.

Yan Jizu and more than a dozen servants and guards sat in the city tower, he listened to the sound of arrows constantly hitting the masonry and doors and windows of the gatehouse, and his heart was churning with the sound of fluffy.

The doors and windows have been sealed by the door panels, but it is not worrying about the arrows entering through the doors and windows, but the interior is also pitch black, only a small oil lamp illuminates, and Yan Jizu's heart is as cold and dark as this room.

Yan Jizu has a lot of experience, although he has not experienced the battle array, but he can still see that Jiannu's determination to capture Jinan is simply inevitable.

Just to prepare for the siege of the city for so long, driving so many people to attack the city, then it is necessary to capture Jinan and loot it.

The most important thing is that he knows that there are no reinforcements to support Jinan, and the recent Dezhou Liu Zeqing may have been frightened by the Jiannu army, and if the reinforcements of the imperial court dare to fight in the field, will Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, still die in battle.

There is only Zhao Lie, and Yan Jizu is now praying in his heart whether the broken army under Zhao Lie's command can relieve Nancheng and his small life. (To be continued.) )
