After the first grenade exploded at the head of the city, more and more grenades began to fly up the city.

Soon, the casualties of the defenders at the head of the city, under Xiao Dan's gaze, exceeded 100 people.

What's more, as the fighting continues, the casualties are mounting.

"Commander, let the second battalion come up...... With the remaining strength of the first battalion, it was impossible to stop the attack of the new army of Ganning...... "Watching more and more of his subordinates on the city wall die in grenade explosions. And the new army of Ganning who continued to rush to the city wall outside the city was at least a thousand people. The chief of staff, with a solemn and heartbroken face, couldn't help but remind......

Looking outside the city, I don't know what stimulated me, just in terms of courage, it is already comparable to the new army of Gan Ning of the imperial court.

On the solemn face of the head of the regiment, Xiao Dan, couldn't help but have a thick expression of worry.

The terrible battlefield situation in front of him forced him to transfer the second battalion to reinforce the battlefield.

However, the entire siege battle has not even taken two hours from the beginning to the present. And the entire siege battle that I estimated would last at least more than twenty hours.

The battle has just begun, and I took out the second battalion myself, so what about the next battle......

However, worry is worry, and Xiao Dan did not hesitate for too long on this issue.

After all, the situation of the war has reached the point where it has to send reinforcements......

As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, a murderous order roared out of Xiao Dan's mouth......

"Order the second battalion to immediately reinforce the city wall, and immediately repel this round of attacks by the new army of Ganning to me......

Xiao Dan didn't guess wrong, outside the city, he was a fierce and fearless Gan Ningxin saber and shield hand. It is indeed stimulated to become so brave.

Except a mile outside the city. Blocked behind the attacking troops. forced them to desperately supervise the outside of the 1,000 Ganning New Army.

The cunning Zhang Zhongming directly took out all the limited food and salary of the Ganning New Army, a full 200,000 taels of silver.

In front of the silver and all the soldiers under his command, he promised that no matter who he was, as long as he entered Qingchuan County alive, he could get a reward of two hundred taels of silver.

Because of the drought and famine every year, these people joined the new army of Ganning. Basically, they are young people who have lost their families.

In this case, they do not have the slightest worries during the battle.

In front of the choice of retreating or dying, moving forward may have a way to live, and you can also get a heavy reward of two hundred taels of silver. They did not hesitate to choose to attack forward, not to attack......

As the casualties of the first battalion at the head of the city increased, more and more Ganning new saber and shield bearers began to cross the grenade barrier and approach the city wall. Then, more and more grenades were thrown at the city. More kills and wounds of a battalion of soldiers.

Just when Xiao Dan was nervous about the battlefield, he wanted to rush up and throw a grenade outside.

More than 400 musketeers in the second battalion. Finally rushed to the city wall......

Then, a dense round of grenades flew out of the city and landed among the remaining sword and shield men of the Ganning New Army.

With the addition of the second battalion to the battlefield, the battlefield became more and more difficult and the battle situation was stabilized at noon.

The sword and shield men, who had already lost most of them outside the city, were also blown up in the explosion of hundreds of grenades one after another.

Looking at the hundreds of musketeers who had withdrawn from the battlefield outside the city, the solemnity and worry on Xiao Dan's face did not relax in the slightest.

With the superiority of troops, the new army of Ganning did not need to make the slightest pause and recuperation before sending a new army to join the battlefield and continue to attack itself.

Xiao Dan is sure that the cunning Zhang Zhongming will definitely not give himself any time to adjust. Its new offensive will begin soon.

Therefore, the remaining Ganning new army on the battlefield had just begun to retreat, and Xiao Dan's strict order sounded on the city wall.

"The first battalion immediately withdrew from the battlefield, counted casualties, and treated the wounded...... The second battalion, ready for continuous battles, to meet the third round of offensive ...... of the new army in Ganning"

In the position of the new army of Ganning outside the city, in the face of the expected defeat, Zhang Zhongming's calm face finally had a trace of fluctuation.

In the first attack, although the new army of Ganning lost more than 4,000 people. However, the heavy price of these more than 4,000 people made him clearly recognize the huge gap between the two armies. And according to this gap, a new tactical method of operation was developed.

Therefore, after the fiasco of the attack, Zhang Zhongming's calm face did not fluctuate in the slightest.

However, this time the offense was different.

Because, this time the attack was launched again after making adjustments by himself.

In his thoughts, the second attack, even if there is no way to break through Qingchuan County. More than 4,000 soldiers can at least blow a gap in the city wall.

However, it turned out that it did not.

More than 4,000 soldiers were killed in battle, and they still didn't even touch the city wall of Qingchuan County.

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming's face at this time finally showed a trace of fluctuation.

However, this fluctuation did not last long, because of the words of the deputy general Huang Yongzhong, he regained his confidence again......

"My lord, although the five thousand soldiers failed to break through the city wall, the last general is sure that in the round of attacks just now, the soldiers must have dealt a devastating blow to the tiger and leopard army defending the city, because, the last general saw with his own eyes that when the attack continued generally, a large number of reinforcements from the tiger and leopard army climbed the city wall......"

"The last general believes that as long as an attack of this scale continues twice, the limited strength of the Haw Par Army in the city will be completely consumed by us......

Zhang Zhongming nodded and affirmed: "You're right, it's the official who is too anxious......

"In that case, then we will continue to attack...... We still have 30,000 people in the new army of Ganning, as long as we can take Qingchuan County, even if we lose another 10,000 people, or even 20,000 people, there will be no problem......

In the blink of an eye, the third offensive of the new army of Ganning began......

This round of attack, without a doubt, was once again repelled by the Haw Par Army......

However, Xiao Dan also paid for at least 300 musketeers' lives for this. Together with the wounded, the entire second battalion was almost completely lost.

When Xiao Dan was full of worries, he transferred the last battalion in his hand to the city wall.

The new army of Ganning, which did not intend to give the tiger and leopard army any respite, launched a fourth attack on the spot......

Half an hour later, Xiao Dan repelled the new army of Ganning. However, the entire third battalion was also disabled. At the critical moment, Xiao Dan had to catch up with all the remaining forces of the whole regiment to the city wall.

However, before Zhang Zhongming's determination to capture Qingchuan County was not shaken, he didn't care how many troops Xiao Dan still had.

Just after Zhang Zhongming resisted the opposition of his subordinates and launched the fifth attack on the city wall.

The city wall of Qingchuan County, which is no more than a foot high, was finally blown open a gap.

As a result, a steady stream of Ganning new troops poured into the city like a flood, drowning the remnants of less than 200 people under Xiao Dan's command...... (To be continued......)
