Chapter 450: The First Air Raid

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

The Tartar pulled Tuhai out of the rubble. This guy is also fatal, although he was hit by a brick, but he is protected by armor, and there is no place in his body that does not hurt, but he can still move.

Tu Hai gritted his teeth, stared at his blood-red eyes and said, "Look, Lao Tzu is not dead, you all defend the city for me!" If we lose the Daimyo's Mansion, we will all die! ”

Tu Hai roared hoarsely as he drew his waist knife and continued to patrol the city. No matter how fierce the artillery fire of the Anguo army was, Tuhai did not retreat half a step, and everywhere he went, the Tartars cheered loudly, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, I, Tuhai, am a person who has died once, and if it weren't for the mercy of the regent, I would have cut off my head long ago. Guarding the Daimyo's Mansion, I, Tuhai, have long put life and death aside. You are all loyal and good in the Qing Dynasty, and several generations have gone forward one after another, from the bitter cold land, into the world of flowers. I ask you, would you like to go back to Guanwai and live a precarious life? ”

"Unwilling, unwilling!"

"Okay, just give me a desperate strength, there is no life or death, the cauldron is broken, and the Ming dog fights to the end!" ‘

"Yes, listen to adults, fight with Minggou!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The artillery fire of the Angolan army continued unabated, and the bricks on the city wall were knocked off, and mottled sand and gravel flowed out, like a wound that had torn off the skin, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The Tartars at the head of the city did not show weakness either, and used artillery to frequently return fire. Although the artillery fire of the Anguo army was sharper, the Tartars occupied the terrain after all, and a shell landed right on the position of the Anguo army.

Two artillerymen were killed on the spot, and a redcoat cannon was shattered.

"Lord Wang. The Tartars in the city are so powerful! ”

Gu Zhenhua took the people from the staff department and stood on the mound looking at the battlefield, his brows furrowed.

"Tartars are not to be underestimated. Do you have any ideas for taking the Daimyo Mansion quickly? ”

Wu Kaijie looked at the battlefield, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, the city of the Daimyo Mansion is high and deep, and the defense is strong. ”

"Three or five days?" Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows. Shaking his head, he said, "No, our original plan was to rush to Handan in ten days, in that case." Li Xu: They only need to hold on for three days. However, at the moment, Dolgon's actions are faster than expected, if we delay in the Daimyo's Mansion, can Li Xu's men in his early 10,000s be able to block hundreds of thousands of Tartars? ”

The staff officers present looked at each other. All frowning.

Suddenly, a rider flew in. In front of Gu Zhenhua, Xie Bin hurriedly jumped down.

"Lord Wang, although the defense of the Daimyo's Mansion is strong, but the humble duty finds that the city wall of the West Gate is dilapidated and the defense is lax, so he may be able to succeed!"

Gu Zhenhua's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"The lowly is willing to lead the troops in person, and does not break the Daimyo's mansion. See you there! ”

Gu Zhenhua pondered for a long time, and finally nodded. Xie Bin immediately rode away. Lead his men and horses towards the West City.

Xie Bin was born as a palace guard, and when it comes to martial arts, he is a leader in the Anguo Army, and he leads the troops rigorously and has solid training, he is the trump card in the Anguo Army, and Gu Zhenhua is also full of hope for him.

The commander-in-chief of the siege, Guo Yunlong, also fully cooperated with Xie Bin, he placed his artillery in the southern city, and at the same time sent two brigades, Gao Yigong and Li Nian, to launch a fierce attack from the southeast to attract the attention of the Tartars.

The Angolan army mobilized, the cannon roared, and the well-trained soldiers formed siege teams, each shed was equipped with two ladders, eight soldiers who resisted the ladders, eight soldiers who were responsible for climbing up, and the rest were cover soldiers equipped with weapons such as fire guns and divine fire crows.

When the ladder rushed to the bottom of the city, the besieging soldiers attacked with cold weapons, and the soldiers behind provided fire support to kill the defenders of the city. How many times have this siege strategy been practiced, and the soldiers are exceptionally skilled.

The cannon sounded, and the soldiers flocked to the city like a tide, and everyone had an orderly division of labor and performed their duties. The whole team didn't have any slogans, they all bowed their heads and moved quickly!

Terrible silence, terrible army!

Tu Hai's heart trembled for a while, as the saying goes, whistle when walking at night, and the same is true for fighting, always shouting some slogans to embolden each other. And shouting to kill can boost morale, tell the people around you, your partner is next to you, even if it is a Eight Banners powerhouse, it is not exempt from vulgarity. But the Anguo army was able to train to this point, and their silent attack made the Tartars a little stunned and forgot to fight back.

"What are you doing in a daze, give me a hard beating!"

Tuhai roared loudly, these Tartars finally came back to their senses, the guns rang out, bows and arrows were fired, and from time to time the Anguo army fell on the way to charge, but the soldiers behind were still fearless and rushed forward.

Getting closer and closer to the city wall, Lu Dongyong beckoned the brothers to stop. There are still 200 steps from the city wall, and the firearms and bows and arrows of the Tartars cannot be beaten at this distance, but the firearms of the Anguo army can hit the Tartars.

"I'm aiming, shoot!"

A volley of bullets hit the city, and just as one of the Tartars poked its head out, its head was knocked off the ground. Blood spurted from the cavity, and the body fell to the city. Bodies kept falling down the entire city wall.

The Anguo army, which was carrying the ladder, found an opportunity and quickly rushed to the city wall. The firecrackers covered with all their might, and the Divine Fire Crow flew towards the city with a sharp cry, and the Tartars were blown apart, and the corpses were in disarray!

Finally, the first ladder was erected on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Anguo Army climbed the ladder and rushed up to the city quickly.

Tu Hai, this guy has already killed the red eye, he is not willing to lose the city so lightly, and immediately led his men to kill the soldiers who rushed up.

This guy is very brave, a machete is more than 20 pounds, just hitting the body, it is enough to break bones and tendons. He was like a madman, covered in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's.

However, with such a fierce guy, the Tartars can stabilize the situation for the time being, and will not be quickly defeated.

"It's almost, rush me!"

Looking at the fierce battle on both sides of the southeast, according to Xie Bin's judgment. Your chance has arrived!

He hurriedly ordered, and the Anguo Army, which had long been preparing for a moment, quickly dispatched and rushed towards Xicheng. At this time, the Tartars guarding the western city were all attracted by the fierce battle in the southeast. I didn't expect the war to fall on my head so quickly.

Xie Bin commanded two hundred soldiers to rush to the front, all of them carrying the Divine Fire Flying Crow. This time, the Divine Fire Crow has undergone some improvements, in fact, it is equipped with an iron pipe of more than one foot, and a base is attached to the iron pipe, which looks somewhat similar to the mortars of later generations.

Of course, at the moment, the technical level of the Anguo Army is not able to make integrated shells, so it can only light the fuse and put the Divine Fire Flying Crow into the iron pipe.

But that's just a small improvement. But it has greatly enhanced the accuracy of the Divine Fire Flying Crow, and within two hundred meters, the lethality is no worse than that of artillery!

Hundreds of Divine Fire Crows were launched together. The dazzling light of the fire obscured the sky, and the things slammed into the walls at a rapid pace.

When the Tartars saw the Angolan army assembled, they also knew that it was not good, so they fought back. But their bows and arrows and firearms could not hit the Angolan army. Even if a few people are injured occasionally, it is a fluke and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The bombs, carrying a pound of gunpowder, quickly landed on the city walls and burst open with the panicked and painful howls of the Tartars. Suddenly the bricks and stones flew sideways, and the Tartars screamed miserably.

Smoke and dust covered the entire city wall, and the soldiers who followed rushed forward as soon as they saw the opportunity.

At this time, Luo Xiaoyu led a group of soldiers to be even more bold, and they rushed to within a hundred meters of the city with dozens of Divine Fire Crows. From time to time, Tartar's bow and arrows and projectiles flew by, but he did not hear it.

After stabilizing the launch tube. Luo Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, stared at the city gate tightly, measured his thumb a few times, and stuffed the Divine Fire Crow into the launch canister.

Bang, bang, bang!

Of the ten Divine Fire Crows, five hit the city gate almost simultaneously. The palm-thick hardwood gate was smashed into sawdust, and the chrysanthemum nails the size of the bowl were blown away.

"Give the Tartars a little more power!"

Luo Xiaoyu received an arrow in his shoulder, he gritted his teeth and held on, and launched another Divine Fire Crow.

At this moment, six or seven more Divine Fire Crows hit the target, and the explosions continued one after another, and the strong city gate could not withstand it, and with the splash of wood chips, a city gate collapsed with a bang.

The soldiers of the Angolan Army rushed towards the city like sharks that smelled blood.

The sound of gunfire, cannons, rang out in a ball, and did not give the Tartars a chance to remedy at all, they quickly crossed the moat and rushed under the city walls, and the gates on the other side were also blown away!

"Rush, kill the Daimyo!"

The soldiers quickly entered the city from the gap, and Xie Bin, who was watching the battle from behind, was also surprised, he thought that the Tartars were quite tenacious, but he didn't expect to enter the city with a round of charge, it was easy to be a little abnormal!

But even if it was a trap, it couldn't be let go, and the Anguo army continued to rush towards the city.

"Hmph, Minggou is finally here, warriors, shoot!"

It turned out that there was an urn city inside the West City Gate, Tu Hai was not only brave, but also strategic, he deliberately sold a flaw, and then secretly let his deputy Tong Tulai be in charge of the West City.

After the Anguo army rushed in, projectiles continued to shoot down from above the urn city, bows and arrows rained down, and more than 20 soldiers fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

"There is an ambush in the Tartars, everyone quickly form a formation!"

The Anguo army was worthy of being well-trained, and hurriedly lined up in a neat queue, braving the muskets of the Tartars, and fired back at the city of the urn, and the Tartars kept falling under the city!

"The trapped beast is still fighting!"

Tong Tulai showed a smug smile, and in an instant, the three gates of the urn city were opened, and the six hundred cavalry who were ambushed behind stood out. This distance did not allow the Anguo army to react at all, and the Tartar was like lightning, and it was in front of him.

Kill!

The Tartars raised their sabers high, and the Anguo army also used bayonets against each other, but the Tartars finally relied on the advantage of their horses and knocked a group of soldiers away. The rest of the soldiers who didn't have time to form a formation were killed by the Tartars, and blood and corpses were piled up at the city gates!

"Lord Wang, there is some trouble over there in Xicheng, General Xie was ambushed by the Tartars, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses!"

Gu Zhenhua suddenly clenched his fists, his bones snapped, and he stared at the Daimyo's Mansion, with a murderous light in his eyes.

"Wu Kaijie, how many hot air balloons do we have?"

Wu Kaijie subconsciously said: "Lord Qiyu, there are about fifty more!" ”

"You go and give the order, immediately concentrate all the hot air balloons, I will attack the Tartars from the air!" (To be continued......)
