To the rhythm of the drums of war, three thousand armor soldiers stepped forward and followed the Ming people towards the moat. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A large number of people had already reached the edge of the moat, and at this time they were only a few dozen paces away from the city, and the attack on the city began.

The sound of the bowstring and the slightest sound of arrows continued to sound, but the arrows were very sparse and could not form the effect of intensive blows at all.

Now there are only 1,000 soldiers on each wall of Jinan City, and there are less than 100 foot archers, if it were not for all the crossbow arrows in the Jinan arsenal to the head of the city, this blow would not have had any effect.

Nowadays, hundreds of bows and crossbows are firing arrows and crossbow arrows, and the arrows sent out are also scattered, shooting everywhere, and they can't form a dense strike effect.

Of course, the crowd in front of the moat is too dense, and as long as your arrows can reach it, there will definitely be casualties.

Unprotected, the people fell to the ground screaming and rolling, and more people scrambled to get close to the moat and threw sandbags on their shoulders into it.

Filled with more than 1,000 sandbags, the moat was filled with a road more than three feet wide, and the people behind them carried the ladders and walked towards the city wall on the uneven sandbag pile.

At this time, there was a fluffy explosion on the head of the city, more than ten bronze cannons of the Franc machine roared, and a large number of scattered bullets rushed towards the crowd, nearly 200 people spurted blood, and even some people's heads and faces were shattered, and the scene was extremely bloody.

These undead people were rolling and wailing on the ground, irritating the nerves of others.

The rest of the people stubbornly moved forward, because a large group of Jiannu armor soldiers behind them had already come to the edge of the moat, and whoever dared to retreat was looking for death, and they could only move forward.

Bang bang bang, more than a hundred fire guns rang out, on such a wide front, these fire guns were simply too sparse, and they didn't have much effect on the swarming crowd, but dozens of people died, which was simply not worth mentioning in the ranks of thousands of people.

The people rushed to the city wall, and at this time, the slightest sound was loud, and thousands of Jiannu archers began to throw arrows towards the city, and the arrows of Jiannu's thousands of crossbowmen formed a concentrated blow, and the dark clouds went to the city.

The sound of ping-pong was loud, and many arrows hit the wooden shield protected by the city, and there were few casualties.

Wang Feng and others fought with Jiannu, and knew the threat of Jiannu's crossbowmen to the defenders of the city, anyway, there was no shortage of wood in the city, and they built a lot of wooden shields, just to block the rain of arrows.

But the people began to climb the city, at this time the soldiers and young men who defended the city began to throw rolling wood stones under the city, at this time it was inevitable to get out of the protection of the wooden shield, and the casualties at the head of the city began to increase greatly, and the screams came one after another, and even the young men and soldiers jumped from the city in pain just to die quickly.

The soldiers in the city began to suffer a large number of casualties, the people under the city were knocked down by rolling wood and stones, a large number of ladders were destroyed, and many people fell from the air.

Falling from a height of one or two feet to the frozen ground is basically a dead word.

More than 10,000 Han people in Jinan City are fighting to the death, and it is the Qing army who is watching the play.

"It seems that the defenders of Jinan have really been transferred to Texas, look at their pitiful lack of arrows."

Azig pointed to the head of the city with his horsewhip.

Dolgon and Duoduo nodded, such a sparse rain of arrows can only show one thing that most of the defenders of the city are not soldiers, but the young people in the city, otherwise they would never have such a little long-range crossbow arrows to counterattack.

"But the defenders have a lot of rolling wood and stones."

Dolgon pointed to the wood and stone that were still raining down, and these objects caused the people of the city to fall to the ground and wail to the sky.

"It's a big city in Jinan, and there are so many timbers and stones in it, Old Fourteen, we have to figure out how to minimize the damage and capture Jinan."

Azig looked at the Jiancheng Road in Jinan.

"Then we have to prepare some Nikan, let them consume the rolling wood and stones on the city, and finally the Han army will go down the city with a drum, and it will not leave the Ming people with the opportunity to travel from the city to carry the baggage again."

Dolgon's words were very thoughtful and sophisticated.

Azig nodded, there is only this way, and there is only one blow, otherwise the rolling wood and stones will be transported to the city one after another, and there will not be enough people to fill it, don't forget that Jinan is a big city, and there are enough tens of thousands of houses in it, as long as the defenders are ruthless, there are many stones, so once they attack, they can't rest.

"Then prepare more Nikan, anyway, there are many in this realm."

Azig and Dolgon laughed wickedly, as if it was as easy and indifferent to catch some Ming people as it was to catch some livestock, and the fate of many people was decided in the cruel laughter of the two.

Duoduo stood aside and just looked at the attack and defense of the city boringly, he was not interested in the conversation between the two brothers, he preferred to go into battle to kill the enemy, as for this plan and that plan, he had a headache when he heard it.

"Alright, Dodor, you tell the front to collect the troops." Azig waved his hand.

Although Duoduo was the lord of the banner, he was still in awe of his eldest brother, who had achieved great achievements, and he marched forward on horseback under his escort.

When the trumpet sounded, the soldiers who were shooting arrows at the city immediately lowered their bows and crossbows, and they turned their horses and retreated.

And the soldiers of the Han Eight Banners, who were watching the people, also threw down the people and retreated, this is the clarion call for the retreat, of course they have to obey the order, as for the life or death of those people, it has nothing to do with them.

Without the coercion of the soldiers and armor soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, of course the people were no longer in the city, they hurriedly left the city and retreated dozens of steps behind.

And the rolling wood and stones on the city have also stopped, and Jinan City is now happy to save the burden of defending the city.

The people did not dare to go near the city, but they did not die well when they returned there, and they became the most pitiful of the people.

Looking at the hundreds of corpses killed and injured under the city, they couldn't think of any way for them to live, and many people immediately cried loudly, and the cry on the side of the moat under the city shook the sky, and it was extremely miserable.

The defenders and young men in the city were also saddened, and they said that just now they were throwing rolling logs and stones and arrows at these people, but that was not impossible, and they couldn't let them enter the city.

But looking at the casualties of so many people under the city, looking at the thousands of people sitting on the ground and crying, as long as it is a person who is panicked at this time, his own people are driven to attack his own city, which shows that the imperial court is unable to protect his own people, so he let Jiannu kill and plunder them at will.

Yan Jizu finally stepped out of the city gate tower at this time, and when he came out, he saw that there were arrows everywhere on the city, and it was a forest of arrows as far as the eye could see.

Many soldiers and soldiers are treating their wounds and are also busy, many wounded are crying loudly, and of course some people are no longer silent.

Yan Jizu saw the blood and casualties everywhere, his ears were tormented by crying, his legs trembled, and his steps were extremely difficult, and the servants beside him hurriedly supported the governor, so he couldn't collapse on the ground and make a fool of himself.

Yan Jizu finally moved to the edge of the city wall, he held the battlement and looked down, the city was full of corpses, and thousands of people on the side of the moat cried to the sky.

The governor was saddened, he thought about it, and sent someone to summon Liu Derang.

"Guerrilla Liu, these are my people of the Ming Dynasty, since Jiannu has retreated, can you open the city gate and let them in."

Yan Jizu asked.

Liu Derang immediately had the urge to cover his face, these sub-literati battle formations were useless, pulling back their hind legs was a good trick, and the problems they gave to the defenders were one after another.

"My lord, don't look at the Jiannu army withdrawing from Sanli, as long as our army opens the city gate, before the people come in, their cavalry will arrive, and when the time comes, Jinan City will not be able to be preserved."

Liu Derang was a little bit of a shouter, at this time, he couldn't take care of any charges against the official, and he could still take care of this when his life was gone.

Of course, at this time, the governor didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, Yan Jizu thought about it, and he sighed, "Then do as you say, it's just that these people are so innocent." ”

Liu Derang slandered you in his heart and mixed less, so that the people of Jinan would not be so miserable.

Of course, on the surface, he still respectfully returned the salute.

At this time, some soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were ordered to rush back and escort these people back, and after they went back, they remembered that these people could not be lost, otherwise they would have to go out and capture them, and it would take a lot of money at that time.

The people's brigade slowly marched north, of course, there were some fierce people who did not want to attack the city like this again, so they simply threw themselves into the moat, and immediately the moat was full of corpses, and the scene was unbearable.

Yan Jizu hid his face and sighed and turned to leave, he really couldn't stand it.

With a bang, Chongzhen's green tendons were exposed and slapped the table,

"Yang Bingbu, didn't you say that Jiannu would not attack Jinan Jiancheng, but would attack Dezhou, I then ordered to consolidate the defense of Dezhou, but now Jiannu abandoned Dezhou and began to attack Jinan Mansion, what do you say."

Yang Sichang was so tired in his heart, he couldn't help it, when he heard that the Jiannu army was heading south, the Son of Heaven and the ministers were in chaos, and he, the minister of the military department, could only make suggestions.

But he didn't speculate randomly, but derived it from the laws of the Jiannu army.

For example, Zhuozhou, Baoding, Tianjin Wei and other Jiancheng Jiannu have not touched any of them, and they are still afraid that Jiancheng will be damaged too much.

Therefore, he proposed that Jiannu might still have to plunder Dezhou, Linyi, Qihe, Licheng and other county seats, especially Dezhou, which is the northeast gate of Shandong, is the focus of defense, so he transferred the headquarters of Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, to Dezhou to defend the city.

But who would have thought that the Jiannu army would be staring at Jinan Jiancheng this time, which really makes people want to cry without tears.

"Your subordinates deserve death for their crimes, and they will live forever."

Yang Sichang knelt down helplessly.

"The current situation is like this, where else can the soldiers and horses go to relieve the siege." Chongzhen stared at Yang Sichang and asked, this was caused by Yang Sichang, of course he had to ask the culprit.

Of course, this Yang Sichang still has a great contribution to the suppression of the rebellion in the Central Plains, and he can be regarded as a capable minister, and he really can't abandon it.

"Minister, the minister really has no good plan." Yang Sichang knelt on the ground in a sweat and pleaded guilty.

Shandong soldiers are now stationed in Dezhou, Linqing, Gunzhou and other places, if they come to the aid of Jinan, the protection of these cities, not to mention that even if they arrive in Jinan, they can't pass the blockade of the Jiannu army.

With two bangs, Chongzhen slammed the table hard.

"Long live don't worry, your subordinates always feel that Denglai Zhao Lie will not let go of this opportunity, he may send troops to attack Jiannu."

Yang Sichang, a conspirator who is accustomed to calculating others and speculating on other people's thoughts, seems to feel something.

"He, a rebel minister, is secretly happy in his heart when he sees that the strength of the imperial court has been greatly damaged, he can send troops to Jinan, hum,"

In advance of Zhao Lie, Chongzhen was immediately angry, and he hated this person the most now.

There was a moment of silence in the hall. (To be continued.) )
