And the Qing army generals who were so angry at this scene stepped forward that they were punched and kicked. Under their shouting and supervision, the Qing army finally began a new round of climbing again.

However, when the Qing soldiers were about to climb to the top of the city, they did not usher in the golden juice, but heard the sound of labor trumpets.

The ladder built by the Qing army improvised must be a little rough. There was no iron hook on the head of the ladder, so that it could not be attached to the head of the city. So the village guards held the wood in small groups, trotted and shouted the labor trumpet, and wanted to use the top of the wood to knock over the ladder.

It's a simple solution. Every time I go back and forth, I can basically knock over a ladder. Even some of the fast-paced Qing soldiers had just poked out half of their bodies, but they were also knocked down. On either side of each group of men carrying the logs, there were two other groups of gunners, who were constantly stabbing at the top of the ladder to stab those who slipped through the net.

To be honest, the results of this battle are much smaller, after all, the wall is too low, and if you fall down, you will have a bruised nose and swollen eyes at most, and there is no worry about your life. Many of the Qing soldiers just rolled on the ground a few laps before they could continue to climb up.

However, this is also the reason why the village guard team does not use stones and trees to defend the village, there is no height, and these defensive weapons that rely on potential energy to kill are not enough!

And with less blood, the Qing army also suddenly became bolder, and they began to climb the ladder one after another. In addition, the ditches filled in are getting longer and longer, and there are more and more ladders to the city walls, and this "pool ball" game has gradually entered a white-hot state.

With the high-intensity impact, the team gradually felt tired. Their movements also slowed down. Finally. The first Qing soldier climbed the city wall. Although he was soon stabbed to death by spears, gaps began to appear in the defenses of the walls.

When a Qing soldier climbed the wall, the battle began to enter hand-to-hand combat. And this time. The advantages of the Qing soldiers began to manifest themselves. The Qing soldiers, who are rich in combat experience, gradually gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with the rookie-like village guards. If it weren't for the large number of guards on the wall, and the officials in charge of the defense of the city wall, maybe the guards would have been scattered.

But that's it, Shi Zhen still led the death squad to block left and right several times, desperately blocking the gap. After paying a huge price of casualties. Finally, the first siege of the Qing army was repulsed.

However, the Qing generals who commanded the attack on Zhuangzi were not discouraged. The first siege, that is, the temptation, is more meaningful. Discovering the weakness of Zhuangzi's defense, the general also adjusted his tactics in time. The deployment was changed, and a second round of siege was immediately launched.

In the face of rounds of attacks by the Qing army, Guan Qiguo, Shi Zhen and others also constantly transferred new forces. Now there are no tricks to play, that is, to fill with human lives.

Thankfully. As the battle progressed. The Zhuang team has also gradually gotten rid of the status of rookies. And Zhuangzi is also small, so he can quickly go around to support. In addition, the family members of the Zhuang Zhuang team are all in Zhuangzi, and there is no room for maneuver at all, so the desperate Zhuang Zhuang team has exerted a super level of combat effectiveness.

And the soldiers who attacked the main attack of the Qing army were also people from various Mongolian tribes. Although they are very brave on horseback, their combat effectiveness is always reduced when they reach the flat ground. This is a far cry from the Eight Banners who are all good at horseback. And such an increase and a decrease have brought the war situation to a stalemate. However, with rounds of siege. Zhuangzi is like a boat in a storm, which can capsize at any moment. And the Zhuang guards in the Zhuangzi. Now I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

……

"What a coincidence! Just in time. Watching a few Qing army spies flee into the distance, Zhao Dare said with a smile.

"What shall we do? What about tens of thousands of Tartars? Avoid them or hit them? Chen De flexibly steered his war horse, and constantly kicked the corpse of the Qing scout on the ground with the front legs of the horse, and asked a little disapprovingly. But looking at his movements and tone, he looks like he is eager to try.

"What do you say?" Zhao Dang immediately asked rhetorically.

"Haha——!" The two of them glanced at each other, and immediately Da Lu laughed.

"Then let's compare!" After laughing for a while, Chen De challenged.

"How do you compare?" Zhao Dang asked with a smile.

"Half of you, half of me, see who kills the most Tartars." Chen De said.

"Good! The first regiment will be yours, and the second regiment will be mine. How's it going? "Zhao Kang is also a young man, and of course he will not back down in the face of challenges.

"Aren't you at a loss?" Chen De is also unwilling to take advantage.

"It's not necessarily who suffers. How? Is it better than that? "Zhao Dang is the opposite, and the momentum is very strong.

"Good! Since you say so! Then add a jackpot! Whoever loses, who arrives in the capital will be treated. What do you think? Chen De said.

"Absolutely! You, General Chen's family, are definitely not short of money to spend. I'm going to eat big this time. Zhao Dang nodded in agreement.

……

Zhao Kang and Chen De both followed the expeditionary army to Shaanxi at that time. After receiving Wu Shigong's order, Xue Yong's Western Army and the Sichuan Army of Quandashan made up more than 3,000 cavalry, with Zhao Kang and Chen De as the main deputy commanders, and returned to Beijing City.

After these more than 3,000 cavalry were concentrated, Zhao Kang and Chen De simply formed them and divided them into two cavalry regiments. So they hurried on the road, and at the same time hurried to train the cavalry on the road.

Among them, the cavalry regiment is basically composed of the old cavalry of the Ming army and the trilateral cavalry of the Dashun army, and their combat skills are relatively good, and they are mainly trained by Chen De. Chen De also adopted the old-fashioned cavalry training method, paying special attention to the cavalry's single cavalry training, and putting queue training secondary.

As for the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, it was composed of cavalry trained by the Runing Army and some new cavalry, and their combat skills were somewhat inferior in comparison. So Zhao Kang, who was in charge of training, only carried out the training of the cavalry queue, and basically gave up the combat skills training of the single horse.

And this is also a collision of new and old training concepts of cavalry. Along the way, Zhao Dang and Chen De couldn't convince anyone. In addition, the two of them are young and vigorous, so they have long wanted to find a chance to compete against each other.

Unexpectedly, this cavalry unit happened to encounter the Qing army attacking a military Tunzhuangzi on the way, so they divided the army into two, and they had to use the results to compare who was right and who was wrong.

However, now the Qing army spies have just run back, and it will take some time for the large army to come. So Zhao Kang and Chen De respectively took their cavalry regiments aside. Then they all ordered to dismount and rest, feed the horses, and prepare for the next battle.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The sentinels watching from the front invariably issued a warning. And in the distance, huge smoke and dust were raised. Many of the veterans of the regiment looked at the dust, fell to the ground and listened for a while, and then cried out again: "There are three or four thousand Tartars. Three or four thousand! ”

Listening to the cries of those veterans, Chen De smiled and said to himself: "There are not many people, just to have a try." Then he raised his hand to Zhao Dang in the distance, and made a gesture that was ready to start. And Zhao Dang also waved his hand in response to Chen De.

Seeing that the Qing army had entered six or seven hundred steps, Chen De shouted and led his own soldiers to take the lead in attacking, and the cavalry of the first regiment also followed.

Zhao Dang watched Chen De impatiently attack, he smiled slightly, and then also picked up the copper whistle hanging around his neck and blew it, while the second cavalry regiment marched slowly forward in a linear queue of cavalry.

Chen De was indeed quite brave in battle. When the two armies approached, he bent his bow and fired, and an arrow struck the neck of a Qing soldier's horse. As soon as the horse with the arrow was weak in front legs, the Qing soldier rolled off the horse, and then was trampled into a pulp by the Qing cavalry that followed.

Most of the cavalry soldiers who charged at the front had the ability to shoot arrows on their horses, and a volley flew away, shooting down the Qing soldiers who rushed to the front.

And the Qing soldiers were not to be outdone, and also used the stunt of archery immediately. Dressed in delicate armor, Chen De was certainly the most obvious target. Several arrows hit his plate armor with a "thump" sound, and then they all bounced off. Chen De is expression of luck, he said to himself: "This armor made by the emperor is really good. ”

Then Chen De put down his bow and arrows, lifted the broadsword hanging next to the war horse, and shouted and rushed into the Qing cavalry first. So this side fell into a scuffle.

And Zhao Kang pressed the speed of the horse and slowly approached the charging Qing army. When the two armies were fifty paces apart, Zhao Kang's second cavalry regiment just reached the speed of a sprint. Rushing to the front row were all cavalrymen trained by the Runing Army, who held a volley of fire guns, and then skillfully put away the fire guns, raised their spears, and began to charge in a neat line.

And the Qing army that came to stop this time was also mostly Mongolian cavalry. Seeing that the second cavalry regiment was lined up in a neat line, they did not dare to collide with both sides. No matter how high the individual combat skills are, facing a wall-like cavalry array, it is completely to death. So they scattered one after another, dodging the frontal charge of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

However, this evasion completely broke up the formation of the Qing army. Facing the rampage of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, the Qing army here is also becoming more and more chaotic. And the 2nd Cavalry Regiment also began to detach the scattered Qing soldiers. Therefore, in the battle here, the Daping army has maintained a situation of more people fighting fewer people, the Qing soldiers were stabbed down one by one, and the casualties of the second cavalry regiment were minimal.

Seeing that the battle situation was so one-sided, finally some Qing soldiers couldn't bear it anymore. As the first cavalry retreated, the Qing soldiers fled backwards. Soon, the Qing army here was wiped out.

So Zhao Dang immediately commanded the troops and attacked the back of the Qing army that was fighting with Chen De, so this Qing army was quickly defeated. (To be continued......)
