A horn sounded, and the Qing soldiers outside the city separated, and launched shield cars to know one... Guidou will be within the territory of several.

This kind of rough shield made of coarse timber is difficult to penetrate except for cannons.

Moreover, the fire mirror cannot be projectile, so I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about the Qing soldiers hiding behind the wooden shield.

These shield carts and wooden shields came slowly, and only ten of them were estimated to be well-built shield cars, with wheels underneath to push, and the shield guards in front of them were wrapped in several layers of thick cowhide, and even a few were wrapped in a layer of iron sheets, which were splashed with water.

This kind of refined shield car, not to mention the fire system, within a certain distance, even small artillery can't break them up. It was also Abatai who commanded an army with white flags, and had the ability to make such a fine shield chariot.

In addition to this refined shield car, the rest is the rough shield car wooden shield of the Qing soldiers, and a dozen thick logs are bundled together to form a shield. Most of the wooden shields don't even have wheels. It's just that there are many wooden handles on the wooden shields, so that some followers and auxiliaries can slowly push these heavy shields forward.

From Wang Dou's point of view, there are nearly 100 shield carts and wooden shields coming slowly, row after row. Layers of dense crowding, except for more than 70 from the south gate, the rest of the shield carts and wooden shields were pushed to the east side of the city wall. Obviously, the Qing soldiers intended to attack Shunxiang Fort from both sides at the same time.

Compared with the scale of the Qing army's siege last time, the shield car this time is obviously several times larger, and it seems that the Qing army's determination to attack the city is not

I saw the dense layers of Qing soldier shield vehicles in the distance; The soldiers and civilians in the city couldn't help but let out a heavy panting, and Wang Dou's eyes were also full of solemn expressions, he burned several forts, and the Qing soldiers could still make so many shield carts, it seems that they have been fighting for many years. also has his own wisdom, and is a fierce opponent that cannot be underestimated.

At this time, how many Qing soldiers were hiding behind those shield carts, five Niu Lu, ten Niu Lu, and even one Jiala?

With the arrival of the shield carts, Wang Douji could see that those shield carts were made of rough wood, such a shield cart, I am afraid that the fire mirror of the Shunxiang army in the city head could not be hit, but fortunately, there were a large number of artillery pieces in the city. Jia Lazhangjing led three Niu Lu Qing soldiers of nearly 1,000 people. Five hundred Mongol soldiers accompanied by the Tumut Left Banner. A large number of Ming people attacked from outside the city wall. The rest of the Qing and Mongol soldiers. As a reserve force, it is ready to support the operation at any time according to the battle situation.

It's still the same, in the Qing attack, the auxiliary soldiers are pushing the big shield and the shield cart forward, and behind the shield cart and on both sides, are the archers who are light armor and good at shooting, and wear two layers of heavy armor behind them as cover. Dead soldiers with shields and broadswords ascend to the city.

Behind the dead soldiers were a large number of Qing auxiliaries and followers, who carried dirt or carts. It was full of dirt and other things. It is used to fill in trenches. In the end, the elite white-armored soldiers of each Niu Lu were in battle, waiting for the opportunity to enter the city to fight.

No matter which side of the city wall of Shunxiang Fort was attacked, compared to the Manchurian soldiers, the Mongol soldiers were more afraid of death, and they refused to take the lead in anything, but just hid in the middle of the siege army.

When the cannonballs roared out of the city, both up and down the city, they watched the flight trajectory of those shells.

There were a few loud bangs, and several iron balls hit the shield carts, causing those shield carts to scatter and disintegrate, and there was a scream behind the shield carts. These wooden shields came in rows, and their advance was slow. It became a good target for the city's artillery, even if many of the gunners in the city were novices, but after the first round of artillery fire, there were still five shells that killed each other

Although it is difficult for the fire system to penetrate these tall wooden shields made of thick wooden bundles, a few pounds of cannonballs can break them up, and when the cannonballs hit these wooden shields with a whistling sound, the timber tied with cowhide or rope immediately scatters in all directions, and those cannonballs penetrate the wooden shields as if they hit the body of a Qing soldier, and immediately cause a huge blood hole in his body.

There are also stirred up fragments, which are also very lethal. Some of the soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground. There are sharp wooden thorns stuck in his face. The thick timbers that were scattered in all directions also caused some damage to the Qing soldiers beside them.

Some of the shells didn't hit any self-targets. However, they jump and roll violently on the ground, and as long as they roll it until they hit it, they will at least end up with broken legs.

Only the ten well-built shield carts were fine. Soon, those Qing soldiers' wooden shields or shield carts were pushed closer to the distance of more than a hundred steps from the city wall, and at this time, it was the turn of the twenty small copper cannons and small iron cannons at the head of the city to show their skills.

In order to increase the range and hit rate of mountain artillery. At this time, these guns were also located on a high gun carriage like the Franc machine guns, as were the Tiger squat guns. The reason why the Tiger Squat Cannon should be fixed to the ground with the foot post of the cannon hoop during combat is because the cannon body is too light. There are only a few dozen catties, and the gun is easy to jump and roll due to recoil, if you add a heavy gun carriage. This does not exist. Of course, if in the field, the Tiger squat cannon is equipped with a gun carriage to pull the march. Of course, it is not as convenient as placing it on horseback.

The twenty small bronze cannons at the head of the city were loaded with a pound of projectiles and corresponding gunpowder in advance, and the fire door was also filled with medicine.

"Open fire".

There was another roar, with the whistling sound of cannonballs, the wooden shields or shield carts of the Qing soldiers were hit from time to time outside the city, these small cannons were useless to the shield carts carefully built by the Qing soldiers outside the city, but they were still very effective against the rough wooden shields pushed by the Qing soldiers, and they were hit by these shells. The wooden shields made of thick wood were also torn apart, and the Qing soldiers behind the wooden shields were killed and wounded one after another.

In just one round of artillery bombardment, eight wooden shields of the Qing soldiers were scattered, revealing the embarrassed Qing soldiers behind them.

At the same time, large rockets such as flying guns, throwing knives, and flying swords from the city also shot outside the city. These big rockets are about six feet long, or like a sword, or like a knife, or three-edged like a rocket head, the whole body weighs more than two pounds, and there are only 30 arrows in each rocket, which can go 200 steps away after burning, but it is the most lethal within 100 steps.

After the first round of bombardment by those small cannons, there were shouts of shouting from the city: "Flying spears and flying swords are ready!" ”

Wen Fangliang and Sun Sanjie, who guarded the southern city wall, each post had a large rocket. At this time, on the city walls on both sides, those fire commanders each held more than a dozen large rockets, set up on the branches of the aphids to aim steadily, under the orders of their respective sentinels. They shot rockets outside the city.

The sound of big rockets was like thunder, and every time a big rocket exploded and shot out, a piece of smoke rose up, and dozens of rockets in the barrel carried the trajectory of fireworks and fired sharply towards the Qing soldiers outside the city. It's a pity that there are not many rockets in Shunxiang Fort, and they can't be diffused in a salvo like just now. However, every rocket shot out, and from time to time there were Qing soldiers outside the city who were killed and wounded.

Those Qing soldiers finally tasted the power of Daming arrows, and because of the power of science and technology, the power of Daming rockets is much more diffuse than their kind of archers.

At this time, the twenty small bronze cannons at the head of the city were loaded with new projectiles and gunpowder.

"Fire!"

With the roar of artillery, one after another shells whistled out of the city, this time ten Qing soldiers' wooden shields were scattered, and more than a dozen Qing soldiers were killed and wounded.

Abatai's weaving golden dragon Li had moved to a place more than 350 meters away from the south gate of Shunxiang Fort to watch the battle, which was a dangerous distance, but Abatai didn't care, just looked at the battle situation on the other side of the city with a calm expression, and several drummers beside him beat the war drums to the earth.

A high platform has been built here, so you can clearly see the movement ahead. Seeing the battle situation ahead, the Gushan Ezhen Shanba of the Tumut Left Banner frowned, and the Gushan Ezhen Omubu Chuhuer of the Tumut Banner was pale, and he muttered: "The artillery and rockets of the Ming army are too sharp, I am afraid that our army will suffer a lot of casualties!" ”

Ah Zhaotai said: "The Ming army here is indeed brave and different, but our Qing warriors are also approaching the city wall, and their artillery rockets have lost their power!" ”

When he said this, he suddenly saw a few horsemen rushing from the Qing army attacking the eastern wall of Shunxiang Fort, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose on the dry yellow earth, and those horses rushed to the front of Abatai, but one of them was the personal general who commanded the army to attack the eastern city wall, Najia Lazhangjing, and he eagerly reported to Abatai: "Rao Yu Belle, it is extremely difficult to attack the eastern city wall. The minions implore Baylor to abandon the attack from this wall! ”

According to him, on the east side of the Ming city wall. There were potholes everywhere, and the closer you got to the walls, the deeper they became, and there were many small walls. The shield cart could not advance at all, although they forced those Ming people to pick up soil and fill the pit, but the Ming people in the city transferred a lot of artillery rockets from other city walls, under the bombardment of their artillery, those wooden shield carts that could not stay in front of the pit became a good target, so that the Ming army in the city calmly aimed, one by one, the warriors behind the wooden shield were not killed or wounded

The Ming army in the city did not care about the life and death of the Ming people under the city, the artillery rockets just kept coming, and under the shooting of the artillery rockets in the city, the Ming people who carried the soil under the city were also in chaos, and they would rather be killed by the Qing soldiers behind them than face the artillery rockets of the Ming army in the city ().

And there are those earthen pits, and the archers who cover behind the Qing soldiers have become decorations, which are not a threat to the Ming army at the head of the city, even if they advance to a few dozen steps away from the city, they still have a sharp fire command. The besieging Kalazhangjing estimated that it would take three days to fill the pits and ditches on the eastern wall, and at worst, as much as five days. He also had to bear a large number of casualties among his subordinates.

So Naga Lajangin begged Abatai to abandon the attack from the eastern wall.

Hearing what the Qing soldier said, the Gushan Ezhen Shanba of the Tumut Left Banner said loudly: "Rao Yu Belle." Lord Fei Mo is right, I have also seen the eastern city wall, it is indeed extremely difficult to attack, why bother to damage the warriors in our army? Fortunately, our army has approached the wall of the south gate, so why don't we give up the attack from the east! ”

Among the Qing soldiers who attacked the eastern city wall, there were 500 Mongol soldiers of the Tumut Left Banner, and listening to the personal general of Najia Lazhang Jing Feimo, the Tumut Left Banner Gushan Ezhen Shanba was also afraid, and he was not willing to lose the warriors in his banner in vain.

Abatai also groaned, he really couldn't afford to spend it outside the city, but fortunately, his army had approached the southern city wall, so it was better to capture the Ming army castle from the south gate.

He shouted loudly: "Order, let Fei Mo withdraw his troops from the east side of the city wall, let them join the attack from the south, and my Qing soldiers will take down this Ming Castle with the strength of a fierce tiger within today!" ”
