"Boom-boom-boom!"

The sound of the cannon bombardment was like spring thunder exploding overhead, but the debris splashing on the face announced that it was much more terrifying than spring thunder.

Zhu Dadian has a long mouth, enough to put an egg in it. The three iron cannons that remained at the head of the city were bombarded, and the heavy barrels of the cannons jumped down the city walls, smashing a deep pit in the ground. The barrel has been bent and can no longer be used.

An iron ball smashed the flagpole of the "Ming" banner set up at the head of the city, the fir wood clicked and broke into two, the iron ball changed direction, and flew diagonally and landed on the soldiers who were guarding under the city wall and waiting. Immediately there were several screams, and two soldiers were lying in a pool of blood, one with a bloody right leg, and the other with a collapsed chest and a gushing blood gushing out of his mouth.

"It's good that three iron cannons were brought down last night!" Meng Kang was secretly rejoicing. He hid in a corner in the back of Dongcheng District, and did not show his bravery again. Because he knew that even if he put on the five-fold thick armor, it would not help in front of these iron balls.

Zhai Zhe stood in a mansion near the gate of Dongcheng, and from his angle, he could occasionally see an iron ball in the air in a bow-like arc and fall in Xicheng District.

Except for the accident that hit the flagpole, the closer you get to the east gate, the safer it is. The iron balls were either blocked by the walls or flew overhead.

This is actually Zhai Zheci feeling the huge cannon bombardment of the city at such a close distance. When the city of Hangzhou was bombarded at its worst, he was not there.

Zhu Dadian came to his senses for a long time, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, Zhai Zhe entered the city last night to warn, and he was prepared!" ”

Zhai Zhe instructed Fang Jin in the gap of the loud noise, "As soon as the cannon stops, immediately send someone to the city." ”

"Yes!"

The defenders and civilians of the city were shocked by the power of the cannons, and they fell silent. Yao Qisheng settled the rebels everywhere, because the houses in the city had been demolished, and half of the rebels had been living in tents, and they were all in danger now.

"Camp against the city wall, and when the shelling happens, you are squeezed and you are not allowed to run around." He was waving and shouting, and he didn't know if anyone could hear him.

Zhai Zhe saw the young man in the distance and remembered the young man.

General Pingyu's Mansion is in urgent need of talents, and Zhai Zhe can see at a glance that Yao Qisheng's motives are not so pure. But from the time he entered the city, he saw that the grain, grass, and ammunition in the city were arranged in an orderly manner, and the righteous army and the people were in place, which showed that this Yao Qisheng had some ability. He wants to show in front of himself, he wants to attract his own attention, these are not important, he has the ability to be the most important, and he can only use it for the general's mansion if he has a request.

The shelling lasted for more than two hours, and the head of the north city of Qianxian County had been in disrepair for many years, and it was actually blown down, and a crack appeared in the dark blue city wall.

Zhai Zhe couldn't see clearly with his back against the city wall, but Zhu Dadian and Yao Qisheng saw it, and their hearts were raised.

Yao Qisheng rushed to the people in a few strides and shouted: "Mason, come out and repair the city wall." As he was shouting, an iron ball flew past him at a height of one foot and landed on a mound of dirt not far away, dusty.

Yao Qisheng turned his head to look at it, his face was fearless, he rushed into the crowd, grabbed a man and pulled him out, and said, "I know you are a stonemason!" ”

The man looked at the rubble of the city wall with a frightened expression.

"Go and mend the wall, and I'll go with you!" The general is watching you. "He was so strong that the stonemason couldn't get away.

The stonemason went, of course Yao Qisheng didn't have to go, and he couldn't help much if he went up, so he could only add to the chaos.

The Qing gunners outside the city saw that the bombardment of the city was almost over, and quietly adjusted the angle.

only heard a loud bang in his ears, and Zhai Zhe suddenly felt as if someone was stuffing countless cotton into his ears. Three iron balls blasted in from Yu Qian's iron gate and smashed into the defensive wall that had been built overnight yesterday. Zhai Zhe suddenly felt that the whole world was quiet, and the sound of cannons came to his ears again, like mosquitoes vibrating their wings. He knew that he was shocked out of his tinnitus, and quickly covered his ears with his hands.

Reaching out for a moment, he tore two small strips of cloth from his robe, crumpled them into small balls and put them in his ears.

Although the thirty or forty thousand righteous troops in Yuqian County were afraid, they did not panic, because he was here. Because he is a general of Pinglu, he has not been defeated against the Qing since he started the army. Because he is a general of Pingyu, he led the people of Jiangnan to raise an anti-shaving order.

This is a heroic spirit, but this spirit will dissipate one day.

People always have to eat, drink, and Lazar, and people always have to feed their families with money. In a sense, Zhai Zhe is using them, otherwise he would not be able to support so many troops with the financial resources of eastern Zhejiang, but this is also the choice of these people themselves.

There was a loud "pop".

Zhai Zhe felt a vibration above his head, a stonemason was knocked down from the city, his body fell ten steps outside the door, his flesh and blood were blurred, he got up and walked out.

Fang Jin followed closely behind, under the shelling, he couldn't protect Zhai Zhe, but this was his duty as a personal soldier.

When Zhai Zhe got closer, he saw that the iron ball had hit half of the stonemason's chest, and he could see half of the scarlet internal organs, and he couldn't survive in front of him. He stretched out his rough palm and stroked it against the stonemason's blood-stained face, which was not his soldier, for he had never paid him.

"General!" The stonemason saw Zhai Zhe clearly, his eyes lit up, his mouth squirmed, and he tried to come up with a sound, but it was just a gasp in Zhai Zhe's ears.

"General!" The stonemason was still trying to speak, and Zhai Zhe closed his eyes slightly. He had seen countless lives and deaths, and scenes ten times bloodier than this, but at this moment his heart was so soft. This stonemason, that is not a strong and courageous look, that is not a grateful and adoring eye, it is a pair of plain and simple, with a little expectation of the eyes.

has experienced so many ups and downs, and sitting in this position today, Zhai Zhe can be said to have read countless people. He didn't dare to say that he could see through everyone at a glance, but this stonemason, he must be an honest peasant.

If he hadn't been captured in Jiangnan, he would have worked hard to support his family, and he might not be rich and wealthy for the rest of his life, but most of the time he could live a peaceful life, and he could even shave like tens of millions of people, but now he died in the hidden city.

The stonemason didn't have to make a sound, he knew what he was going to say.

"I will drive away the Qing captives and leave behind the clothes of the Ming Dynasty." This is not the first time he has made such a promise. If this battle goes well, he may not use this sentence to boost the confidence of others.

"General!" There was shouting in the distance, and the sound of artillery could not be stopped.

Yao Qisheng was stopping fifty or sixty people, all of whom were stonemasons, and their eyes flashed with a frenzied light. He seized the opportunity to pick five of them and let them go on to repair the walls.

Zhai Zhe felt the body of his subordinates twitch, and the stonemason was like a siege vehicle under the iron bombardment at the north gate of Hangzhou, dissipating all his strength in an instant. He let go of his hand, unfastened his shirt, and covered the stonemason's face.

"Whether you are born into a royal family or a beggar's family, you and we are free, because you and we both have to pay for our choices."

Zhai Zhe turned to leave, and he saw a power, a power that could crush a qiē.

In the afternoon, the sound of artillery stopped, and the Qing soldiers approached the siege.

Zhai Zhe ordered Yao Qisheng to carry the bodies of the three stonemasons who had died by climbing to the top of the city to repair the city wall to Yuqian City, covering them with white cloth and placing them on a half-zhang high wooden platform. He didn't have to watch the battle, he knew that Qing Yu would definitely not be able to capture Yu Qiancheng today, because he was here.

It was Zhu Dadian and Meng Kang who guarded the city, and Fang Jin led his own soldiers to guard the city gate.

Yao Qisheng organized the people to dip the firewood in tung oil, take it out and pile it up at the entrance of the city gate and ignite it.

The captives piled up like hornets, trying to climb the ruined walls. The defenders returned fire with boiling dung water, boiling tung oil, and poisonous fireballs that smoked smoke. Of course, the most powerful weapons are the Bird Gun and the Three-Eyed Gun. Because in front of the gun, the armor is useless, and after being shot, if you don't die, you will lose your combat effectiveness.

The rebels lined up every 1,000 people, and the front could not resist, and the people behind followed closely. They are not yet proficient in the use of weapons such as birds, and most of them use spears.

The armor soldiers who were about to attack from the city gate took advantage of the excitement, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw the fire burning in front of them, and they shouted in a hurry, and they were shot by a dozen people hidden behind the flames.

The battle was no different from the previous days, except that the background of the battlefield became bloodier.

Zhai Zhe did not go to the head of the city, nor did he go to the city gate, he walked among the rebels who came from the camp in Xiaoshan. Zhu Dadian didn't know how to use them, Yao Qisheng knew, but he didn't have the ability to provoke these people.

"I will work with you to defend Yu Qian, as long as we hold here, we can recover Jiangnan and drive away the Qing captives!"

"The Great General is mighty!"

As there was no longer a threat of iron cannons at the head of the city, Bolo went to the city walls to personally direct the battle, and the shouts of the city were heard in his ears clearly.

The battle lasted for three hours, and both sides were constantly rotating their soldiers. For these three hours, Zhu Dadian stayed in the city, which made Zhai Zhe secretly admire. He heard that Zhu Dadian had a lot of money, and he was greedy for ink when he was the governor of Fengyang, and at this moment he finally showed his difference.

Before dark, Bolo ordered the troops to retreat, and several layers of corpses were already covered under the walls.

Such a small county town is so difficult to attack, Bolo has a trace of fear, remembering the military order given to Duoduo before, and a vicious thought appeared in his heart, "If Zhang Cunren is defeated, I don't have to be so troublesome anymore." "Eighty percent of Zhang Cunren's subordinates are Han Chinese, some have surrendered to the army, and there are also soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but no matter where they come from, they are all Han in the eyes of the Jurchens.

Now the generals are also beginning to fear the battle.

The cannon did not stop at night, and Bolo hid in the big tent under the cover of the cannon.

"Stupid siege warfare, why do we have to spend so many soldiers and horses to attack the city of the Ming army?"

It's a good question, and finally someone came to their senses, but it was too late. For example, Fang Guoan and Zuo Ruo would never risk losses to attack Zhang Cunren under Changhua City.
