Sun Cheng only served as the general banner in the border army that year, but his learning ability was quite strong, and he was also mature and sophisticated. Since Gu Zhenhua trained the new army, Sun Cheng has carefully observed, constantly figuring out, knowing what it is, knowing why it is, Sun Cheng has asked Gu Zhenhua a lot.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Sun Cheng was mainly responsible for the recruitment and training of the new army. To put it bluntly, his understanding of the new army and new tactics is second only to Gu Zhenhua in An**.

This time, Sun Cheng independently led the troops to participate in the war, and Sun Cheng put a lot of effort into the defense system of the city. Speaking of which, the city is not large, with a population of less than 5,000 people, and the length of a city wall is only more than two miles, that is, more than 1,000 meters. Trying to defend such a small city that is not strong is quite a test.

Sun Cheng doubled the city wall, and then built the outer city at the four gates to form a diamond-shaped fortress and multiply the defense capability. What is more important is to work hard outside the city and expand the defense system.

At the hundredth and fiftieth paces, two moats were built, and within fifty paces, all the way to the moat, were filled with obstacles such as antlers and thistles. In addition, there are a large number of mines, and the fuses are in the city, which can give lethal damage as long as the enemy army kills and wounds.

In addition, the female wall at the head of the city was also reinforced, and just last night, after Gu Zhenhua gave the order to prepare for war, he sent a thousand barrels of cement to Sun Cheng.

This is a complete treasure, Sun Cheng cherished it extraordinarily, he gathered all the people in the city, specially arranged two hundred plasterers, once the city wall has problems, it will be repaired immediately.

After such preparations, the city has indeed become an indestructible fortress.

Hu Xinshui thought he had picked up a soft persimmon, but in fact he ran into a big hedgehog!

Twenty-five tall shield carts swayed like hills. Pressed up with no indomitable progress. These shield carts are two or three zhang wide and more than one zhang high, made of hardwood, and covered with raw cowhide, which is exceptionally tough. Ordinary firebolts and stray arrows could not hurt the soldiers behind the shield cart at all.

This is also the usual trick of the Qing army to attack the city, Hu Xinshui is now learning and selling, and it is used in the city.

It's just that he obviously miscalculated, Sun Cheng personally commanded the artillery, aimed at the huge shield car, and shot down. A large hole was smashed, and the soldiers behind suffered heavy casualties, and with another shot, a shield cart that had been built so hard was smashed.

Without the cover of the shield cart, the soldiers behind them became lambs to the slaughter, although they were not reconciled. Desperately shooting at the city, but they could not match the defenders who had taken advantage of the time and place.

Suddenly, the bow and arrow were like a point. Heads were shattered, chests were smashed, and soldiers were turned into corpses. Even with thick armor, it was difficult to resist the fire, and hundreds of people fell in an instant.

"What are you doing, how are you holding back. Waiting to be bombed? Hu Xinshui shouted angrily: "Quick, fill in the trench, hurry to the city!" ”

"Lord Qiyu, Minggou's trench is not easy to deal with."

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Hu Xinshui's eyes widened: "It's not easy to deal with, what other mysteries can't be done?" ”

"Indeed, their trench is low on one side facing us, and high on the other, so that the trench that is filled in will have a ridge to cross. Some trouble! ”

In fact, this kind of trench was thought of by the soldiers when Sun Cheng was training recruits. When digging a trench, all the excavated soil is piled on one side to make a mound. What was originally just a ditch has now become a ditch with a slope. The difficulty of the past has increased considerably.

Moreover, because the soil was piled on their own side, the Qing army had to rely on wheelbarrows to push soil and stones and fill in the trenches, which made it more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The shield carts of the Qing army were helpless in the face of a small trench. Sun Cheng did not have many artillery pieces, only 12 guns, and only 6 guns against the Qing army. According to a group of two gates, they attacked the shield carts of the Qing army.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight vehicles were knocked out, and hundreds of soldiers behind were exposed, and they were ruthlessly slaughtered by the musketeers.

"Die, shameless second tartar!"

"Grandpa sent you to hell!"

"Taste Lao Tzu's awesomeness!"

Zhao Tian swore viciously while knocking on the trigger, and the soldiers also cursed under his leadership. The more scolding it seems, the more vigorous it becomes, the more scolding the more murderous, the corpses of the Qing army are in pieces, the stumps and legs are broken, and the sound of pain and howls is endless.

However, in the end, there were too many Qing troops, and those people desperately sent cartloads of dirt, and finally filled in the trenches, and fifteen shield carts pressed towards the city.

Attacking at about fifty paces is more to suppress and disrupt, but after entering thirty paces, the firearms and bows and arrows under the city also have lethal force against the soldiers at the head of the city.

This is what the two Tartars were looking forward to, and one by one they gritted their teeth, braved their bows and arrows, and struggled forward, and they saw that they had reached a distance of thirty paces.

And Sun Cheng at the head of the city was full of sneers, he didn't care, he rushed over, just wait for a big meal!

Sting!

The fire rope was lit, and a little spark quickly sank from the city into a bamboo pipe, and spread out of the city.

After waiting for a few breaths, there was no movement, Sun Cheng couldn't help but worry, could it be that the gunpowder had failed?

Just when he was worried, suddenly the sound of the sky falling and the earth cracking sounded under the city, and in an instant, the ground cracked, countless gunpowder smoke surged, and the ruthless fire devoured the Qing army!

The mines exploded in a series of explosions, and the power was simply finger-promising. Those tall shield carts became vulnerable and vulnerable in the face of this force.

One after another, shield trucks fell to the ground, and one of the shield trucks had a mine underneath, and the explosive shrapnel shot out, easily cutting through the old cowhide, and even more scattered shrapnel hit the Qing army, breaking the flesh and blood, and wounding one after another.

In fact, the most lethal to the Qing army was not these shrapnel, but the thistles and antlers on the ground. These things usually look inconspicuous, and they may be able to be avoided when charging. But once the mine explodes, the huge kinetic energy will shake these little things up and turn them into a powerful Xiao Li Flying Knife.

A mine was planted under one of the antlers, and after the explosion, debris sprigs flew everywhere, and more than thirty people were hiding behind the shield cart next to it. Half of them were injured, and even one of the unlucky ones was directly penetrated through the head, and his brain flowed to the ground.

Some people were shocked and fell to the ground and stuck on top of the thistle. Suddenly, there was a three-edged eye on his body, and blood flowed out. These thistles are all rusty, soaked in fecal water, and stuck on the body, the consequences can be imagined, even if they don't die for the time being. Sooner or later, it is also a wound infection, or even tetanus, and a tragic death directly.

Sun Cheng planted more than 100 mines, and under this attack, nearly ten shield carts were scrapped, and the remaining few shield carts were simply unsustainable. Constantly hit by artillery fire.

Seeing that the battlefield was completed and staged according to his expectations, Sun Cheng was extremely excited. However, just as the so-called joy begets sorrow, just when he was overjoyed, suddenly a loud bang sounded on the city wall, and a fire rose to the sky.

The artillery is blown up!

Hundreds of pounds of iron pipes were blown up, all the surrounding soldiers were injured, and two gunners were killed on the spot. Only two pools of blood remained, and five or six others lay in pools of blood, wailing in pain.

Sun Cheng hurriedly walked to the front, and when he looked at the scene, he understood that it was when he was charging, perhaps because he was in a nervous and overstated, and the soldier actually loaded double explosives, which resulted in an explosion.

In an instant, Sun Cheng's face darkened.

"Listen to me, don't joke with your own lives, and don't take the lives of your brothers seriously!"

The artillerymen heard this. Extremely cautious, the heartstrings were tense, and the medics had already come up and carried the wounded people down.

This cannon exploded, so that the defenders of the city did not belong. The two Tartars under the city were beaten so that they had no temper at all. Now that they see the hole, they are ecstatic.

The firecrackers shot upwards desperately, and the bows and arrows rained down like sharks.

Poof!

An arrow hit the soldier's face, and immediately blood flowed, and the soldier was in pain, holding on to the battlement, and screaming loudly. At this moment, the fire bolt below rang out, and a buckshot hit the head, and the head flew out, and the headless corpse was bubbling with blood, and fell to the bottom of the city.

"Kill the Bright Dog!" The Qing army under the city shouted loudly.

"Grandma, with a pig's tail, she turned herself into a tartar, it's really shameless!"

Zhao Tian was furious, and with a few firecrackers, he rushed over, and there was a volley of fire below, and the iron sand shot towards these two tartars.

"You will always be traitors, you will all be two tartars who do not enter the stream, and you will be a dog full of people!"

"Brothers, kill dogs and eat meat!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Tian, An ** quickly stabilized down, and the gunfire was like bursting beans, beating the two tartars so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they trembled one by one.

At this time, Hu Xinshui, who had been supervising the battle in the back, felt that something was wrong, if he couldn't take the city in one go, he was afraid that he would fall into a stalemate and be even more disadvantaged.

"Zhang Dong, you rush up with men and horses for me, and you must take the head of the city."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dong is Hu Xinshui's deputy, brave in battle, murderous, usually this guy takes pleasure in killing, but when he encounters this kind of battle situation, he is covered in beast blood.

"Someone, follow me!"

Zhang Dong led more than 2,000 soldiers to rush up to the city, they carried the ladder, with the rope of the city, extremely fast, after coming to the city, quickly climbed the ladder, rushed up to the city.

"Golden juice, ready!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers worked in pairs, holding the cauldron, and the boiling dung water in it had a pungent smell, and the soldiers endured the disgusting ** and splashed it on the guy on the ladder.

"Die!"

"Ahh

Hot feces fell down his face, down his cheeks, down his neck, and into his collar. Immediately, the skin was scalded, the water was blistered, and he fell to the city screaming in pain.

"Shoot!"

The neat platoon of guns fell, and the deadly shotguns quickly penetrated the body, and one by one they fell down with a scream of pain, turning into piles of meatloaf.

"Damn!"

Zhang Dong pulled out his bow and arrows suddenly, shot out two in a row, and suddenly the two soldiers at the head of the city fell down, at this time Zhang Dong rushed to the front in a few steps, holding a waist knife in one hand and a shield in the other, like a raccoon, stepping on the ladder and climbing up quickly.

There is still one from the city; When he was more than two feet high, a spear suddenly stabbed down from above, Zhang Dong was really brave, he blocked with his shield, and at the same time, the waist knife in his hand slashed towards the city. There was a cry of pain from the city, and the pikemen were wounded in both legs and fell to the bottom of the city.

Zhang Dong took advantage of the situation to go to the city, and laughed proudly: "Go to death, who dares to stop your grandfather Zhang!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed up, and several firecrackers avoided him, all of whom were cut by him, and at this time, the Qing army rushed up along the gap, and there were dozens of people, under the leadership of Zhang Dong, constantly expanding the results.

"Hahaha, Ann ** vulnerable, kill!"

Sun Cheng also noticed the situation at this time, and he hurriedly rushed over with his own soldiers. But there are people who are faster than him, and Zhao Tian also knows that they are competing in martial arts, compared with these fierce generals, they are too bad, and the city is chaotic, and they can't organize a battle formation. He suddenly thought of the landmine, which was not only used for burying in the ground, but also for putting it in his hand.

Sting!

The fire rope was ignited, and Zhao Tian ran towards Zhang Dong violently.

"Two Tartars, look at the treasure!"

With a shout, a fist-sized mine smashed into Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong hurriedly looked up, only to see a black thing smashed over, and he subconsciously used his shield to block it.

At this moment, the mine exploded, but it should have been called a grenade at this point!

The shrapnel that shattered in an instant easily penetrated the shield and hit Zhang Dong's body, three layers of armor, vulnerable to a blow, penetrated by a light yì, and blood and internal organs flowed out along the wound.

Zhang Dong was still unwilling, the corners of his mouth, and he wanted to say something, but at this time, Zhao Tian had already rushed to his eyes, and his head was cut off with a knife.

Without the main general, the momentum of the Qing army was finally suppressed. However, after a day of bloody battles, An ** also paid a painful price.

More than 110 soldiers were killed, more than 150 were lightly and seriously wounded, and the battlements at the head of the city were damaged in many places, and a large amount of gunpowder was consumed.

As night fell, the smell of fragrant rice reached the city, leaving the stomachs of the soldiers who had been tired all day. However, some of the recruits could not eat at all, and the thought of the brutal battle made their stomachs constantly rise.

Sun Cheng had a calm face and came to the front of everyone: "Let me ask you, what are your names?" ”

The soldiers subconsciously shouted: "Ann **! ”

"You still know that An**, Anbang, and the world, this is the hope of the grandfather of the country, and we will become the first male teacher in the world, not a group of cowardly sheep. Listen, everyone is full at once, the two Tartars are just a group of dogs, tonight, I will take everyone to kill the dogs, do you have the guts? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the hearts of all the soldiers burned, and even if it was uncomfortable, they had to endure it and swallow it in large gulps.
