Chapter 543: Fierce Battle of Attack and Defense

The canopy outside Bazhou has been removed, and the retreating imperial army has gradually surrounded Bazhou.

Tang Zihe, who was on the head of Bazhou City, watched the canopy outside the city being demolished little by little, and his heart ached like thousands of pins and needles.

The last trace of affection between her and Qin Kan seems to have been cut off.

The killing intent in the air became more and more intense as the canopy was removed, and the battle clouds in Bazhou City were dense in an instant, and a big battle was about to break out.

Tang Zihe has no tears to shed, she is no longer allowed to shed tears here and now, she must be strong.

When it was almost dark, the imperial army finally launched the first tentative siege, and the hundreds of Francophone cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, and the solid iron bullets hit the city wall fiercely, and the powerful artillery left one after another dented pits on the city wall of Bazhou, and the city wall was instantly full of holes.

These 100 new artillery pieces also brought deep fear and shock to the anti-army soldiers defending the city, they did not expect the firearms of the imperial court to be so powerful, although the Bazhou city wall is thick, its thickness is at least more than six zhang, and the artillery iron bullet cannot really collapse the city wall, but the momentum of this hundred cannons is huge, full of shock, it will hit the morale of the anti-army soldiers to a thousand feet, all the anti-army troops in the city are lying under the arrow battlements, no one dares to rise again.

Tang Zihe, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, also quickly sank.

He really had the ability to break through Bazhou, and even before he sent troops and horses to attack the city, the first round of artillery salvo hit the morale of the rebel soldiers to such a point that a powerful minister who was loved or hated by thousands of people in the court finally had his ability to be loved and hated.

The fierce and unreserved lion fighting rabbit made Tang Zihe's heart tremble, since ancient times, the two sides defending and besieging the city have not competed in outnumbered forces. To a large extent, it is the bottom line of patience of the generals and sergeants on both sides, and whoever collapses first loses.

Qin Kan used the right method, and he almost crushed the morale of the rebel soldiers in the first place.

After five rounds of artillery firing, a thick smoke of gunpowder at the head of Bazhou City did not disperse for a long time, and when all the frightened and inexplicable anti-army soldiers finally had the courage to emerge from under the arrow stacks, they suddenly heard a shocking shout of killing under the city from far and near, and the dense ant-like imperial army roared and rushed to the city wall.

The imperial army officially attacked the city.

Many of the anti-army soldiers in the city were terrified, and many of them were just green forests on the ground of Bazhou or ordinary people who angrily defected to the anti-army because they hated the imperial court, and they did not have sufficient training and good qualities. Not even the weapons in his hands are enough. Many people's weapons are just arm-thick wooden sticks cut from trees, and how can they compare with the well-trained elite army of the imperial court in terms of combat strength and courage? A few artillery salvos frightened many.

The city was in a panic, and many anti-army soldiers threw down the guys in their hands and ran to the city, and Ge Laowu, who had been standing at the head of the city, looked cold. Suddenly launched like an agile cheetah. The figure flashed and the knife fell. The five rebels who fled in fear were cut off by Ge Lao Wu in an instant, and blood sprayed all over the ground.

The rebels were shocked, and they were shocked by Ge Lao Wu's fierce and bloody shot. They all stopped, glanced at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, let out a roar like a trapped beast, turned around and rushed to the battlements at the head of the city, and re-picked up their weapons.

Tang Zihe quietly watched Ge Lao Wu's movements, but she didn't stop it, at this time she needed to use iron-blooded means to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and the fear of ruthless military law, otherwise there would be no suspense about the defeat of the city.

"Coward, slash! Runaway Slash! Soldiers, look at the people behind you who feed you and help you defend the city, can the court break the city and save their lives? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the people of Bazhou who have given you favors and fight for them! Only when the grievances are clear can you be considered a real man, don't teach me, a woman, to look down on you! Tang Zihe stood on the arrow tower and shouted with his sword.

The rebel soldiers at the head of the city were stunned one after another, and their cowardly eyes frightened by the artillery gradually became resolute, and their morale returned to them.

"We've done this murderous business, what are we going to run! Where can you run? Fight with the imperial court! One of the rebel soldiers shouted in amazement.

"Fight!" Countless people in the city raised their swords and echoed in unison.

In the roar, the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were besieging the city had already carried the ladder to the city wall, the ladder was erected at the head of the city, and the soldiers began to climb with long knives in their mouths.

A tragic battle to siege and defend the city kicked off, this battle was irreparable, and tens of thousands of people on both sides fought for the will of Qin Kan and Tang Zihe.

The long rod with an iron hook buckled the ladder at the head of the city, and the two rebel soldiers rushed forward together, and a ladder full of people overturned from the wall more than ten zhang high, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp on the ladder fell to the ground with a scream, and they saw that they were no longer alive. Before the rebels had time to catch their breath, another ladder unyieldingly landed at the top of the city......

Ge Lao Wu stood in front of Tang Zihe like a loyal dog, but was brutally pushed away by her.

"The western wall is dangerous, quickly, make up for five hundred people to resist!" Tang Zihe's command did not panic at all.

Rumble!

The trebuchet threw a boulder from a distance, almost grazing Tang Zihe's face, whistling and flying over, and smashing it on the road at the head of the city.

"Marshal, danger!" Ge Lao Wu stepped forward and pushed her aside, swinging his knife and knocking down a cold arrow fired by a Beijing Camp marksman at the enemy commander.

"Marshal, the city is too dangerous, leave it to the last general here, you go down to appease the people......" Ge Lao Wu said in a big voice.

"Ge Lao Wu, this commander is the commander of the first army, when will it be your turn to give me orders? Get the hell out of here! ”

"Marshal, the whole city hopes to entrust you alone, how can the commander of an army take risks lightly?"

"Ge Lao Wu, I also told the soldiers just now that the cowardly will be killed, but the words are still in my ears, but I, the main general, have gone down, isn't the morale of the army that has finally gathered collapsed because of me?" Tang Zihe's pretty face was blackened and white by gunsmoke, she stretched out her hand and brushed her scattered sideburns, and suddenly burst into the most beautiful smile: "The soldiers are looking at me, the people of Bazhou City are looking at me, and Qin Kan in the military tent outside the city is also looking at me, although I am a woman, I can't let anyone look down on me!" ”

Fireworks are only the most beautiful moments. But that moment will be looked upon by the world.

At this moment, Tang Zihe's smile is as beautiful as fireworks.

Ge Laowu's forehead was bruised, and with a backhand knife, he knocked a cold arrow aimed at Tang Zihe, and gritted his teeth with the knife: "Marshal, I, Ge Laowu, swear to ensure that the marshal is thorough until ...... Until the moment I died in battle. ”

After speaking, Ge Lao Wu suddenly turned his head, and a Beijing camp sergeant who had just climbed to the top of the city was cut down by him.

Looking at Ge Lao Wu's figure desperately working for her, Tang Zihe's eyes turned red, and he quickly hardened his heart again. "The enemy is about to climb to the top of the city." Smash them down with a giant wooden rock! ”

"Set up a few more iron pots and bring the oil to a boil!"

The attack and defense became more and more fierce, countless lives fell and disappeared in the light of the sword, and the corpses at the head of the city and under the base of the city wall were piled up. Blood stained the moat red. The soldiers of the Beijing camp have climbed to the top of the city several times and almost broke the city. But he was always defeated by the rebel soldiers who risked their lives at the most critical moment.

In the formation of the Chinese army, Qin Kan rode on a horse with a gloomy expression, and his sharp eyes stared at the head of Bazhou City in the distance. Looking at the petite and weak body at the head of the city brushing shoulders with death again and again, Qin Kan's gaze was extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or distressed.

"You can't fight so blindly, order Mingjin to withdraw the troops!" Qin Kan coldly ordered.

The crisp sound of gold spread throughout the four fields, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp receded like a tide.

Qin Kan looked at the barely standing figure at the head of the city, sighed heavily, and returned to the handsome tent with an expressionless face.

This woman is stronger and more stubborn than he imagined, no wonder Xu Tai attacked the city for half a month and couldn't break it, Tang Zihe does have some real skills.

…………

…………

The Chinese army beat drums and gathered generals, Miao Kui, the commander of the Beijing camp, He Yong, the deputy commander-in-chief, the guerrilla general Xu Yong, and Mao Rui, the commander of the Fuqiang camp, gathered in the tent.

"Master Hou, why is Mingjin truce? In only half an hour, the last general may be able to capture the city, and Bazhou can be destroyed! "Deputy Chief Soldier Feng Zhen was covered in blood, obviously he personally went into battle in the siege battle just now.

Qin Kan shook his head: "In my opinion, the Bazhou rebels are very stubborn, I am afraid that they will not be able to break the city for a while, and Benhou cannot take the lives of the soldiers to fill this bottomless pit in vain, and it is also a helpless move to collect troops." ”

The people in the tent will bow their heads.

Everyone is experienced in a hundred battles, of course, they also see that Bazhou is not so easy to break, after learning that the city defender will be a woman, everyone inevitably has contempt in their hearts, but unexpectedly, this woman's tenacity exceeded everyone's expectations, even Qin Kan himself did not expect that Tang Zihe had such a ability, and could inspire the morale of Bazhou City so high, so that everyone held on to the city regardless of life and death.

"We have to change our strategy......" Qin Kan wrinkled his eyebrows and groaned, and said slowly: "The commander of the Beijing camp is He Yong." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to collect all the grain and grass in the villages and towns near Bazhou, remember, buy it at the market price of the Beijing Division, and you must not make a move to rob the people of food, otherwise the military law will be repeated! After harvesting the grain and grass, you led the army to set up an ambush on the official road in the west, and one of the leaders of the rebel army, Qi Yanming, led the crowd to attack Henan. ”

"Obey the general's order!"

"Guerrilla General Yin Yong."

"The end will be."

"You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to collect grain and grass like He Yong, and then set up an ambush on the official road in the south, and the leader of the rebel army, Yang Hu and his wife, attack Shandong, and they may also lead troops to save Bazhou."

"Obey the general's order!"

"Fu Qiang Bo Mao Rui."

"The end will be."

"Choose 200 people who are good at shooting, throw arrows into Bazhou City, and tell the people in the city that the 100,000 troops of the imperial court have surrounded Bazhou, and the city will only be broken sooner or later, and those who are ignorant and rebellious will be exterminated by the nine tribes. In addition, the arrow book is attached to the benevolent government issued by His Majesty's personal decree, so that the people know that the court will treat them well in the future, don't follow the anti-thief road to the black ......" Qin Kan said his cheeks twitched slightly imperceptibly, and then hardened his heart: "The arrow book is attached with a reward, and there are those who capture or kill the rebel Tang Zihe alive...... Bounty of 10,000 gold, 10,000 counts, and thousands of households. ”

"Obey the general's order!"
