After the successive defeats of the Jin Army, the Red Turban Army only rested for one day, and then transferred two large battalions of troops and strengthened the artillery, a total of more than 7,000 people, and went north to Anqiu.

The lion fights the rabbit, and will do his best. Anqiu's 1,000 gold troops are all infantry, and it is not difficult to attack the Red Turban Army, so it stands to reason that there is no need for so many men and horses.

However, Meng Jiucheng has always been cautious in the use of troops, does not have a great advantage in troops, and easily does not fight the enemy.

Moreover, the capture of Anqiu is only the first step, and the next step is to enter Weizhou, contain Anzhen, and force it to go on the defensive.

Han Shouzhong was the striker, Meng Jiucheng personally led the Chinese army, Yang Miaozhen, Wang Min, Sun Wuzheng, Yan Tong and others followed.

When the army arrived at the city of Anqiu, the Jin army defending the city did not dare to fight, strengthened the city defense, and sent people to cross the Wenshui to report to Fusan Anzhen for help.

In order to save ammunition, Meng Jiucheng asked the sappers to survey the geology, and decided to use tunnels to blast and attack the city.

However, after the more than 20 stone throwing machines carried by the army were assembled, they began to bombard the east gate with stone bullets to attract the attention of the Jin army. At the same time, the Red Turban Army dug trenches and besieged the city and completely besieged Anqiu.

The Jin army guard in Anqiu called Yan Xian, and he was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Red Turban Army. Although he did not want to imagine that the Yan theory had been defeated, the situation did not allow him to make many choices.

However, the method of attacking the city was greatly beyond Yan Xian's expectations, although the Red Turban Army used a stone thrower to bombard the east gate, but the main direction of attack was not here.

Because Meng Jiucheng believed that this method lacked suddenness, the enemy had enough time to deploy troops when the city wall was broken to the point of collapse.

When the sun hung in the sky at noon on the third day, casting a light that was not fiery, the pit blasting was complete, and it was about half past twelve to one o'clock.

The order to attack was already being laid, and the Red Turban soldiers who had entered the attack position checked their equipment, unloaded all the clutter that hindered the battle, and waited quietly for the thunderous noise.

Yang Miaozhen and other generals didn't know what kind of collapse they were going to see, although Meng Jiucheng told Yang Miaozhen about it, but it was better to see it with their own eyes.

The flying thunder guns and meteor cannons on the artillery positions have also adjusted the elevation angle and direction, and the shells have been loaded, ready to deal a heavy blow to the hastily reinforced Jin soldiers after the blasting, and the soldiers have not yet rushed to the city.

"Let's get started!" Meng Jiucheng received the reports of the heralds one by one, knowing that all the departments were ready, but his mood at this time was unusually calm, and even he felt strange.

A moment passed so slowly, Meng Jiucheng's calm mood did not last long, and when he raised the telescope for the third time, a loud noise broke the silence on the battlefield.

Thick black smoke rose from the walls of Anqiu, and the earth shook violently.

In the field of vision, the Anqiu city wall burst open from the inside out, and the dust and miscellaneous wood rose into the air, like a monster suddenly emerging from the belly of the city wall, roaring into the air.

Then, the smoke and dust obscured the wall, and nothing could be seen. But it didn't matter anymore, people had already seen the walls blown open and the assault began to the sound of drums and trumpets.

The swords and guns reflected the sunlight, and the red turban troops ran forward with shouts and charges under the command of the officers. The further refinement of the siege plan even took into account the armor of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army who took the lead in the charge were dressed in leather armor and were particularly fast. The ones that followed were all kinds of armor, and they were a little slower.

Less than 100 paces away from the city wall, the sound of "boom, boom, boom......" sounded from the positions behind the side, and one after another large and small shells swept over the heads of the charging soldiers and flew towards the smoke-filled city wall.

A moment later, flashes of light burst out, and explosions came and went, kicking up more gunsmoke and dust.

"Rush, kill!"

There is the same shout on the left and right, and there is no doubt that such shouting can make people more excited, more fanatical. Without the slightest hesitation, Qiao E and a team of centaurs had already rushed into the thin smoke and dust just now.

In the choking smell of black powder, mixed with the wails of the wounded, and stumbling under her feet, Qiao E narrowed her eyes and tried to move forward through the broken bricks and rubble.

Finally, the eyes suddenly lit up, and they had rushed out of the smoke-filled area. Although it is still as blurry as a fine mist, the view is basically unobstructed. He saw Jin Bing, sparsely lala, who didn't seem to have woken up from his daze.

……………

The bombardment of the Red Turban Army made Wan Yanxian and other generals fearful, and they were always in a state of high tension.

It was nearly noon, and several Jin generals gathered in a house a little far from the city wall, eating the food that had been served, discussing the situation of the day, and guessing how long the enemy's bombardment would last.

Wan Yanxian ate the fastest, sat aside and drank tea, thinking about how to hold Anqiu and wait for reinforcements.

The stone throwers of the Red Turban Army were very powerful, and the city walls were constantly damaged, but he was very surprised, and his heart could not help but be clouded.

Suddenly, he felt the beams of the house tremble, and the old ashes fell down one after another, throwing them into his tea bowl. His face changed, Huo Ran stood up, could it be that the enemy began to bombard again?

The generals in the house were also full of suspicion and stopped eating one after another. But after careful identification, the loud noise and noise came from the south of the city.

Wan Yanxian and the others didn't know why, so they immediately sent someone to investigate. The generals of the Jin Army had already determined that the main direction of attack of the Red Turban Army was in the east, and they did not expect that the Red Turban Army would quickly break through the city in another way, so they did not expect the seriousness of the matter, and thought that the Red Turban Army was carrying out a feint attack from the east to the west.

The explosions and shouts of killing in the south of the city became louder and louder, and Wan Yanxian and the others finally had an ominous feeling, and when the soldiers came to report urgently, the Red Turban Army had broken through the city, and they were shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.

……………

The resistance of the Red Turban Army that broke through the city defense was very slight at first, firstly, because the focus of the Jin army's defense was not here, secondly, because of the sudden explosion and a round of heavy bombardment, which caused heavy casualties to the Qing army, and the rest were surrounded by fear and confusion, and did not organize effective resistance in a short time.

The soldiers of the Red Turban Army, who rushed through the slope-like gap, quickly seized the breaches of the city walls on both sides under the command of their respective officers, covering the follow-up troops to swarm into the city.

The troops entering the city were deployed according to the plan, advancing the attack in the east, west, and north directions, expanding the occupied area and enabling more troops to enter the city to participate in the battle.

The battle spread from the south of the city to all directions. Despite the reinforcements of the Jin army in other places, the Red Turban Army had firmly controlled the breach, and more and more troops entered the battle, and the defeat of the Jin army was inevitable.
