After several rounds of attacks, the sky was already showing the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Zhang Zhang also had a plan for this, and the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army who fought fiercely last night all replaced the city wall to rest, and replaced them with another group of fresh troops to defend the city.

However, the soldiers can change their defenses, but the generals cannot. Zhang Li, Gao Yuanliang, Mu, Ize and others all had blood-red eyes, and they were already very tired. But the siege of the Tartars during the day will definitely be more violent, and no one dares to relax in the slightest.

After about an hour, the sky was already bright, and after Zhang Li and the others took a nap, they soon woke up and prepared to meet the attack of the Tartars.

The sun had risen, and the corpses that could be seen everywhere under the city lay on the dark dirt, like severed tree trunks. By this time, there were already some bold wild dogs running from afar, wanting to have a full meal. However, there were still some shield carts on the ground that had been hit by the shells, which were burning, making a "crackling" sound, which scared them away again......

On a high hill three miles away from Tongzhou City, Huang Taiji had a stern expression and was staring in the direction of Tongzhou City. Behind him stood a group of princes and ministers of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, and the closest to him was still "Jurchen Zhuge Liang" Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji said coldly: "Everyone go down to prepare, last night was just a warm-up, and today we must capture Tongzhou City!" ”

"Yes-" The crowd agreed in unison, and dispersed, but Fan Wencheng did not leave.

Fan Wencheng knew very well that there were many people in the previous deliberations, and some of the Khan's true thoughts could not be made public—so he stayed.

Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng, who was standing bent, and bowed slightly. The idle people and others have gone away. Huang Taiji opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Fan, last night's battle was as you can see. The 20,000 Mongol and Han troops suffered more than 4,000 casualties......"

Fan Wencheng also had a solemn face, he and Huang Taiji had been watching the battle from behind last night. Although it was only a tentative attack, the tight defense of the Tuanshan Army still left a deep impression on him.

Fan Wencheng frowned and said: "Great Khan, this mountain army is quite disciplined in defending the city, especially the sharp firearms, I'm afraid it is a little tricky......"

Huang Taiji nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. After a long time, Huang Taiji looked into the distance and said lightly: "My Dajin Kingdom has been fighting with the Ming army in Liaodong for many years, and I have been doing siege to the city. Although this Tongzhou city is said to be well defended, it is quite strong. But it is far inferior to Jinzhou and Ningyuan, so why be afraid?! ”

Fan Wencheng hurriedly echoed: "As the Great Khan said, that mountain army is just relying on the sharpness of firearms. Firearms, I also have them in Dajin Country! ”

Huang Taiji laughed and nodded, "That's right!" ”

After a pause, he looked at Tongzhou City with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Let's not talk about Beijing City, this small Tongzhou City, how can my Dajin Kingdom not be able to attack it?" ”

……

Zhang Li stood on top of the Tongzhou city wall last night, and there was no special protection. Nighttime Tartars do not attack cities with artillery. But during the day it's different. If the Tartars use artillery, the walls are very dangerous. So at this moment the tension came to a watchtower at the back of the city wall, which had been specially reinforced before, with the power of a solid bullet of the Tartar jack franc. Not to be defeated.

This watchtower can't defend against the Hongyi cannon, but the Tartar didn't bring the Hongyi cannon out this time, after all, the Hongyi cannon is too bulky. Not suitable for siege. In the future, Zhang Li's command was in this watchtower, and at this moment Zhang Zhang took out a clairvoyant mirror. From the window of the watchtower, I observed the movement of the tartars.

Suddenly, the horn of the horn "woo woo" came from the Tartar assembly place. Soon, the tide of the Eight Banners Army shouted and killed again, and rushed towards Tongzhou City under the encouragement of the banners.

A thousand commanders of the artillery team quickly ran into the watchtower and asked Zhang Li whether to fire the cannon. However, Zhang Li frowned, shook his head slowly, and said: "Slow, pay attention to the back of the enemy's infantry, you have a name!" ”

Hearing the shouts, Gao Yuanliang, Mu, Ize and others all rushed to the watchtower, and when Zhang Li saw that everyone was coming, he immediately handed over the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Gao Yuanliang with a finger of his hand.

Gao Yuanliang took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and was immediately surprised. The rest of the generals also saw clearly with their clairvoyant mirrors, and many coffin-like guys appeared in the enemy's infantry ranks. Look at the city again, the vanguard Tartars tried to lay planks on the dry moat.

Zhang Zhang said coldly: "Bombard with a three-hundred-pound furlong machine, if it enters the range of the firearm, fire immediately!" ”

"Yes—" The generals commanded, and Zhang Zhang stared at the battlefield.

Soon, the 300-pound furlong cannon on the head of the Tuanshan military city rumbled, and the Tartars could not resist it, so they threw down the planks and fled to the rear.

Zhang Li watched the coffin-like things closely, and as they got closer, Zhang Li finally saw clearly—it turned out to be a specially made chariot.

The front baffle of the chariot was more than a foot thick, and it was probably designed for the fire of the 300-pound Furlong cannon, and it seemed that they were very familiar with the 300-pound Furlong cannon of the Ming Army. Behind the baffle stood seven or eight archers, who could move and attack under protection.

After all, the Tartar's firebolt is just an arquebus, and its accuracy and range are completely inferior to that of a bow and arrow.

Zhang Li's heart sank, and he saw that there was still a cart behind the chariot, but it was a dense small wheelbarrow, and the body was full of dirt. Zhang Li immediately understood what was going on, and the Tartars tried to use the cart to suppress the fire of the defenders of the city, and the dirt pulled behind was ready to fill the trench. Zhang Li looked farther away, and in the farthest part of his line of sight, it turned out to be the cavalry of the black pressure pressing the formation. The sunlight reflected a dazzling metallic light on the cavalry, these cavalrymen were heavily armored and armed with sharp blades, they were the real wolves who coveted Tongzhou City and prepared a gluttonous meal.

Cavalry could not attack a city, but if the gates were opened and the cavalry rushed into the city, it would be unthinkable.

Zhang Li bit his lip stubbornly, this gate of Tongzhou City seems to be the target of the enemy's key attack!

What did they use to break through the gates? City Breaker? Hitting wood? Still is......

At this moment, Zhang Li couldn't sit still, he came out of the watchtower and stood on the city wall!

Seeing the commander appear in person at the head of the city, the morale of the Tuanshan army suddenly soared. The feathered arrows of the Tartars inflicted a lot of casualties on the soldiers at the head of the city, but the Tuanshan army returned with an even more ruthless dense lead pellet!

Those chariots are getting closer and closer, and a foot of thick planks can't protect it, after all, it is necessary to defend the three hundred pounds of Furlong cannons from a distance, and now the distance is too close, and the two sides have entered a white-knuckle battle of long-range weapons!

"Fire!" The wood shouted, and immediately the dense three-hundred-pound furlong cannons on the city began to roar! (To be continued.) )
