As a night that was extremely difficult for the rebels and difficult for the Ming army to sleep gradually came to an end, the dawn sun gradually projected on the earth, and both sides cheered up and picked up their weapons, waiting for the final decisive battle to come.
Li Rusong mobilized the main force of 50,000 Ming troops, as well as 30,000 people, and once again surrounded the entire Ningxia City, the battle flag hunting swords were like a forest, and a compelling murderous aura almost seemed to exist in substance, and it was unstoppable to the city.
"Soldiers! We are rebels, and the court will definitely not let us go easily! Those officials and masters have tried their best to deduct our military salaries, grain, grass and cotton clothes and other materials in the past, and this time they will definitely cut off our heads without hesitation and take them to ask for merit and rewards, brothers, let's fight with them! "Bibai stood at the head of the city, with his upper body on his head, holding a big knife and roaring, desperately trying to raise the morale of the soldiers on his side.
"Prepare a hundred Fran machine artillery, don't be stingy with ammunition, give me an hour first" Looking at the clairvoyant mirror, the performance of dancing and dancing, Li Rusong smiled coldly and said to the monk Grinqin beside him.
A civil official like Mei Guozhen has long been busy running to various places that have been ravaged by the rebels, walking along the royal road and scraping the ground by the way, and the entire crusade army Li Rusong alone has the final say. Therefore, Li Rusong gave an order, and the Ming army immediately concentrated a large number of small 100-round Furlong machine guns and lined up on all sides of Ningxia City. Crazy firing.
With a deafening cannon sound, the Ming army's position suddenly fired thousands of cannons in unison, and countless stones. Lead fell from the sky and fell on the heads of the rebels at the head of the city, and suddenly there was a storm and clouds: a large number of rebel soldiers were killed and wounded, and a small number of uninjured people were curled up on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling all over their bodies, unable to raise the courage to fight at all.
"Minzhuang carries a cloth bag and piles a road for me!" Seeing this scene, Li Rusong decisively ordered, and a large number of people were mobilized, under the cover of shield vehicles and their own artillery fire. Quickly pounce under the walls.
In fact, most of these people are relatives of the rebels. He should have been treated as a criminal. Li Rusong took the initiative to find Mei Guozhen, wanting to make these people guilty and make meritorious contributions, and at the same time gave a lot of bribes, and the latter readily agreed.
So these people are all very desperate. Because Li Rusong said it before. This is their only chance to clear their name for their crimes of collusion with the rebels. Anyone who dares to be lazy and cowering will be killed.
Tens of thousands of people are all concentrated in Beiguan, and they are naked with their upper bodies. Completely indifferent to the occasional arrows fired by the rebels on the city wall, and even without waiting for the shield cart behind him to follow up and cover, he carried two cloth bags full of sand and rushed towards the city wall with a shout.
These people have long put life and death out of the way, and now they only hope that the officials and masters will not embarrass their families for the sake of their meritorious service. The other party is the king of Yama in the dangerous mountains of Liaodong, and it is said that the Buddha of ten thousand families who is worshiped by the Han people in Liaodong as a bodhisattva will definitely keep his promise.
With this simple and simple thought, these people quickly ran to the bottom of the city wall, dropped the cloth bag on their shoulders, turned their heads and ran quickly back to the rear to catch their breath, and then carried the two cloth bags again, repeating the previous action. In this way, the cycle continued, and the cloth bags under the city wall of Beiguan were piled higher and higher, and gradually began to approach the city!
"Li Ruzhang! Gong Zijing! Where? Li Rusong, who had been paying attention to the changes in the entire battle situation in the formation, saw this situation and immediately shouted.
"The last general!" Hearing this, Gong Zijing and Li Ruzhang immediately came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee and clenched their fists and said.
"After half a pillar of incense, the shelling will stop. The two of you must work together and go all out, and General Ben will personally go to the city to cheer you on! After that, Li Rusong pulled out the horse chopping knife at his waist, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the sky:
"Swear to break the enemy!"
With Li Rusong's roar, all the Ming soldiers suddenly waved the weapons in their hands, shouted frantically, and the huge sound rushed towards the city wall like an unstoppable wave, which frightened the rebel soldiers above one by one.
"Ma Jun, prepare catapults and artillery, the dogs of the imperial court, they are going to go up to the city wall from the road of the cloth bag pile, give me a hard beat!" Braving the sky full of stones and lead, Bibai used a shield against it, and ran around directing the rebel soldiers to prepare for a counterattack.
"Kill!" As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, more than 300 Miao soldiers gathered at Beiguan under the leadership of Gong Zijing and Li Ruzhang, and the two of them rushed up along the road paved with cloth bags in one hand and iron shield in the other.
"Destroy the rebels!" In a burst of high roars, the Ming army rushed forward almost unstoppably, and the rebels at the head of the city had not yet come to their senses, and many people had already jumped up and jumped on the head of the city, killing with the rebel soldiers. Not far behind him, under the layers of guards of countless soldiers, Li Rusong was dressed in red armor and a red battle robe, beating heavy drumsticks, and the sound of war drums suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Die!" Li Ruzhang was holding a thick-backed machete, and his whole person was like a rakshasa, and with a roar of rage, he cut off half of the head of a rebel soldier in front of him, and the blood gushing out of him suddenly sprayed him.
"Hahaha, happy!" Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Li Ruzhang looked at the countless rebel soldiers who came in the surge, did not retreat but advanced with seven or eight fierce Miao soldiers, facing the enemy and killing them.
"Kill!" After killing the head of the city, Gong Zijing did not continue to fight around like Li Ruzhang, but took more than 40 family members to defend the road to the death, preventing the rebel soldiers from blocking this place, so as to ensure that the follow-up troops continued to pour into the city.
Li Rusong made a decision immediately, and as soon as he saw Gong Zijing and his younger brother rushing to the city, he immediately ordered Ma Gui to lead 8,000 infantry to follow, wanting to take the opportunity to capture Beiguan in one fell swoop. A large number of Ming soldiers armed with swords and firearms and other weapons continued to pour into the city, and Beiguan seemed to be within reach.
"Concentrate all the tiger squat cannons and catapults for Lao Tzu, leave those soldiers alone, aim at Beiguan and hit hard" It's a pity that Bibai is not an idle person, and when he saw this, he did not hesitate to order to ignore the remaining rebel soldiers in Beiguan and attack directly with artillery and other weapons.
In order to save their lives, the rebel soldiers couldn't control their colleagues who were still fighting desperately, staring at the blood-red eyes and preparing tiger squatting cannons and other things, and bombarding the road paved with cloth bags in Beiguan and the city was indiscriminate:
"Ahh
"Handsome! Don't fight! I haven't withdrawn from my post yet! ”
"My eyes!"
Countless Ming and rebel soldiers were hit by the overwhelming artillery fire and stones, and fell to the ground or rolled directly under the city with screams covered in blood, and died on the spot. The follow-up troops led by Ma Gui were also cut off, a small number rushed to the city, and many more were killed and wounded on the cloth bag paved road, unable to advance, and at the same time, the entire road was crumbling under the bombardment of artillery fire, and it was about to collapse.
"Damn it! These rebels are crazy, even their own people are fighting! Brothers, kill with me! Seeing this scene, Li Ruzhang was anxious, roaring and leading hundreds of soldiers to desperately rush to kill, wanting to kill the past and break through the rebels' artillery positions and stop the enemy's movements.
"General Li, the last general will go with you" Gong Zijing here didn't care about protecting the passage, and rushed to join Li Ruzhang with hundreds of people, desperately rushing to kill.
At this moment, a huge stone fell beside the two with a "boom", directly smashing the soldiers around the two into pulp, and the huge fluctuations and strong wind directly rolled Gong Zijing and Li Ruzhang up and fell from the city wall.
"Hurry up and send someone to rescue the two generals!" Ma Gui, who was directing the soldiers to continue to ascend the city, had already seen everything, and hurriedly ordered dozens of cavalry to rush to the city on fast horses and rescue Gong Zijing and Li Ruzhang.
Seeing that the two of them were pale, their lips were clenched, and they looked unconscious, Ma Gui sighed slightly and ordered the soldiers to send the two to the rear for treatment, and at the same time reported the situation to Li Rusong.
At the same time, Gong Zijing's deputy general, Xiao Ruxun, took over Gong Zijing's banner and continued to frantically lead the soldiers to charge. After a burst of artillery bombardment, the rebels also brought in the main force and fought with the Ming army that killed the head of the city. The two sides fought fiercely at Beiguan, and the battle intensified.
"That's it! It doesn't matter, let the doctor go all out, be sure to save the lives of the two people, organize a rescue team to save the injured brothers, and do their best to treat them. Hearing Ma Gui's report, Li Rusong smiled slightly, and immediately ordered.
"General, are we going to increase our troops in Beiguan? The rebels there can't hold out for long, as long as we concentrate our forces, we will definitely be able to take it in one fell swoop," a general next to him asked in a low voice, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Rusong at this moment.
"Hehe, there are clouds in the art of war: fiction is real, and reality is virtual. Do you understand? Concentrate 10,000 elite soldiers and set up a cloud ladder to climb the city at Nanguan! (To be continued......)
