Huang Guodong, the chief military officer who had been standing on the city tower, was faced with the battlefield situation that had become more and more fierce before the battle in front of him really began. The already solemn face became even more solemn at this moment.

The deputy general, who had returned to his side, first couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and asked eagerly.

"My lord, you can't be beaten so passively...... If the Houjin army is allowed to blow up like this, the already low morale of the brothers will be blown up by the Houjin army's flowering bombs, and it is possible to ......"

Huang Guodong, who was also very anxious in his heart, nodded subconsciously and replied: "You are right, immediately order the soldiers to retreat from the city wall and avoid the flowering bullets fired by the Houjin army." After the Jin army really started to attack, after stopping the shelling, let the brothers go up to the city wall and defend the city. ”

"Yes, my lord......" The lieutenant general who breathed a sigh of relief for the commander on the city wall hurriedly took the order.

However, the Houjin army outside the city obviously did not intend to let Huang Guodong get his wish.

Before the lieutenant general had stepped out of his front foot, the tide of battle began to change.

Five thousand Khan and Eight Banner soldiers, some holding muskets, some holding melee cold weapons, some carrying siege ladders, of course, some carrying limited range, very light Huzun cannons and Franc machines, with a phalanx of thousands of people, quickly rushed out of the position and rushed towards the location of the city wall.

What Huang Guodong and the others didn't expect was that although the Tartar infantry had begun to attack, the fifty red-coated cannons they were shelling still had no intention of stopping.

A steady stream of flowering bombs continued to fall on the city's head and explode like rain. Harvest all life within the radius of the Blossom Bullet.

Face this situation. The lieutenant general hurriedly held his footsteps. Facing Huang Guodong beside him, he continued to speak: "My lord, what do these Houjin Tartars want to do, aren't they afraid that the flowering bullets they shoot will hurt their own people?" This Tartar commander must be so crazy that he doesn't even care about his own people......"

Surprisingly, Huang Guodong not only did not agree with the judgment of the deputy general. Instead, he retorted affirmatively.

"No, this commander of the Houjin Army is not only not crazy, but also very wise......"

"Take a hard look at the enemies who are attacking us...... Do you see a tartar among these thousands? Not surprisingly, this commander of the Houjin army has the purpose of weakening us and destroying us with the lives of 5,000 Han people......"

After finishing speaking, Huang Guodong continued to say in a heavy tone: "Now it seems. We had to fight with our backs and use the walls under our feet. If you can block the Tartars for a longer period of time, you can block them for a while longer, so as to buy more time for the imperial court to transfer troops and meet this Houjin army that is about to invade Beizhili. ”

"The general of the pass book ordered that all the remaining generals of the General Military Mansion should go up to the city wall to assist the general, the thousand generals, and the brothers to organize and fight......

"All the 30,000 grenades in the ammunition inventory of the General Military Office were taken out and distributed to the various garrison units, and according to the bad conditions of the battlefield, each commander decided whether to use them or not."

"This officer's guard team still acts as the whole army overseer team. In the process of defending the city, without the order of the general, no soldier can withdraw from the battle without authorization, otherwise, the military law will engage in ......"

As the military orders were issued from Huang Guodong's mouth one by one, a very cruel battle unfolded on the city wall at his feet......

At the same time, Huang Taiji, who was outside Liaoyang City, also launched a new round of attack on Liaoyang City as always.

In Huang Taiji's thoughts, as long as the idea of covering himself with artillery fire remains unchanged, it will not take a few rounds of attacks, and the defenders of Liaoyang will be defeated by themselves to the point of insufficient troops.

However, what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that the city wall of Liaoyang City that he saw at this moment was no longer what he saw yesterday.

On the battlefield, with 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan mixed with 2,000 Tartar archers, they rushed towards Liaoyang City overwhelmingly, and all kinds of flowering bullets with screaming sounds quickly flew out of Liaoyang City and smashed into the siege troops outside the city.

When the siege troops, in the face of the casualties caused by the flowering bullets, rushed into the range of muskets. On the two-mile city wall, when the sound of musket shooting like a storm bean began to sound, a sneer flashed on the faces of all the generals on the Houjin army's position, including Huang Taiji.

Because, the time they were waiting for artillery coverage had come.

So, Huang Taiji, who was surrounded by everyone, gave the order to fire without thinking about it.

When the only remaining twenty or so red-clothed cannons of the Tartars fired the flowering catapults towards Liaoyang City with a roar, an accident happened. The city walls, where there had been gunshots just now, became quiet as if everyone had died.

Liaoyang City, in addition to not stopping at all, still continued to shoot out flowering bombs, and there was no other means of counterattack.

"What's going on, the tiger and leopard army on the city walls? Did they all withdraw from the walls to escape the artillery fire? With an incredulous face on his face, Huang Taiji first opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.

Now Fan Wencheng, who is beside him, is also full of doubts and incomprehension. However, when he saw Huang Taiji's puzzled gaze looking at him, he still opened his mouth to reason.

"Great Khan, if the Tiger and Leopard Army defending the city wall really retreats, it will be just cheap for the Khan Eight Banners soldiers who are attacking us. Taking advantage of the loophole of the empty defense force of the city wall, he took advantage of the situation to attack the city wall and enter Liaoyang City. ”

"As long as the soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan can open a breakthrough in the city wall, to cover the warriors of the Eight Banners to enter the city, and with the strong melee fighting ability of the warriors, they will definitely be able to easily eliminate the defenders of Liaoyang."

Huang Taiji nodded with a satisfied face and replied: "The military advisor said well, then we will stay here and wait and see what the conspiracy of the Liaoyang defenders is." ”

Under the interception of a steady stream of flowering shells, the Eight Banners of Khan easily approached the city wall at a loss of less than 500 men.

Just when they took the surprise of the rest of their lives, erected the ladder, and prepared to attack the city, the accident happened.

The city wall, which was still flat just now, suddenly appeared a row of black holes the thickness of bowls.

At the same time, one after another grenades that smoked and frightened the enemy, as if in the afternoon, were thrown out of these black holes.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners of Khan gathered at the foot of the city wall have not yet had time to react. The flowering shells have landed and exploded.

As a fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose from the foot of the city wall. A large number of fragments from the grenade explosion directly at the foot of the city wall, forming an impenetrable storm of steel, harvesting a life within the killing range. (To be continued......)
