Chapter 478: The Qing Army Siege the City

"General, hurry up and think of a way, if these cannons bombard, you and I will definitely be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

Seeing that I didn't speak, the big mole general shook me a few more times, and the beads of sweat on my forehead rolled down one after another, and my body began to tremble.

"The city tower is strong, their cannons can't blow up the city tower, but it will lose the soldiers, so you take all the people to retreat, find a place to hide nearby, and wait for the Qing army to attack the city, you immediately go to the city to defend the city, which may reduce our losses."

Our city tower is no less than three zhang high, and about two zhang wide, no matter how powerful the cannon of the Qing army is, it can't blow up a city more than ten meters high and six or seven meters wide to the ground, right?

Of course, there is a possibility.

That is, they aimed all their artillery at one place to bombard, so that they could blow a gap in the county seat.

Now I just pray that the Qing generals won't do that.

"But, but, general, what should we do if the Qing army wants to attack us, the city is very likely to be breached."

General Mole stood still, frowning bitterly and reluctant to leave.

"Things have come to this point, we can only gamble, so you hurry up and take people away, I am guarding the city tower, and when you see my order, you will bring people up to defend the city, only then can we have a chance to defend this city."

Seeing me say this, General Mole shook his head helplessly, and said bitterly: "Cheng, General, I listen to you, I'll take people down!" ”

"Soldiers, go down with me now, hold back all the anger in your hearts, and give me a hard time to deal with the Qing army."

The Great Mole General had just left with his people, when suddenly a man and a horse rushed over from outside the city, as if he was still waving a letter or something in his hand.

When the man came to the city, he did not speak, but shot up with an arrow.

I opened the letter and said: "I am Qimen, the general of the Qing army's Red Banner, and the army is here today because of the emperor's orders, with the intention of living in harmony with the armies of Yunnan, so as to provide peace for the world." However, the general was brave, and the two teams of men and horses in front of and behind our army came here, all of whom were defeated under the general's hands, and 30,000 people did not survive, all of them became a speck of dust in the yellow sand of this battlefield. Now I led the army to come here, if the general can see the general trend and conform to our army, I can ensure the peace of the county, if stubborn, desperately resist, the army breaks the city, it is bound to roosters and dogs bark, women and children cry, young people die, I hope the general will think about it. ”

Is this a letter of persuasion?

That's a good point, but are you really willing to let go of the hundreds of thousands of people in our county?

I don't think so.

Your 30,000 troops came here, all of them were wiped out by me, and they were killed without leaving a single one, and now more than 100,000 people are killed under the city, if it is so easy to let us go, it won't be like this?

Moreover, even if the Qing Army's Red Banner General Qimen is willing to let us go, are the generals and soldiers under him willing to let us go?

We've killed tens of thousands of of their brothers, and they're going to leave it at that?

I'm afraid that when the time comes to enter the city, everything will be controlled by the Qimen, and the soldiers will slaughter the city and kill the red eyes, where can they take care of those, men, women and children will all die under their swords.

Therefore, if it has already been decided, then it is better for us to fight to the death, even if we die, we must die with dignity, not to mention that we have not lost yet, all victory or defeat is undecided.

Taking out the pen and ink, I also wrote: "General Qimen is like well, the last general will take the risk to worship again, the general is benevolent and righteous, I really admire, but the general's army has been eyeing the city under the tiger, I can't fully believe it, now I am ready for a decisive battle, if the general really wants to avoid this battle, then you can lead the troops to withdraw, if you want to attack the city, then please!" ”

I know that after my letter is shot down, there is really no room to turn back, if the Qing army's chief general Qimen receives this letter, within a moment of incense, there will be a large number of Qing troops attacking the city.

They must first bombard the city with artillery, and when the bombardment is almost done, then send troops to attack the city under the cover of artillery, as long as the soldiers reach the range of the cannon, they stop the artillery, and the soldiers will rush up the city tower in a rage.

Sure enough, as I imagined, not long after the messenger returned, the team began to be assembled, and the first echelon was about 20,000 people, and they had already begun to form up and prepare to attack.

And at this time, those cannons also banged ~~~ and made a thunderous sound, and then I saw puffs of white smoke coming out of the muzzle of the cannons, and then there were explosions everywhere on our city tower and under the city.

I don't know why, when I heard these voices at this time, I actually had a feeling of blood boiling, very excited, very exciting.

I didn't like war, because there would be a lot of deaths, countless people would lose their lives, and there would be cries of sorrow.

But at this moment, when I heard these cannon sounds, I suddenly had a feeling of yearning, even anticipation.

Perhaps, at this moment, I am not the real me; Or perhaps, at this moment, I am the real me?

Who am I and what kind of person am I?

I can't tell.

The bombardment was loud and loud, but fortunately there was no one else on our tower but me, so their cannons could not cause us any damage.

And I'm glad they didn't concentrate all their artillery to bomb one place, otherwise we would have faced a face-to-face hand-to-hand battle with the Qing army.

The Qing army has more than 100,000 people, and we have 40,000 people, and we can't take advantage of them in hand-to-hand combat, so the best thing is for us to attack them in the city, which is our advantage.

"Kill, rush to kill me!"

Soon, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the first group of 20,000 Qing troops outside the city began to rush frantically towards the city wall.

When I saw that the time was ripe, I immediately waved my flag to signal the big mole general to them.

The big mole general was holding his breath at this time, and at this time he went upstairs to see that the Qing army had entered the scope of the bow and arrow, so where would he be merciful?

Commanding one place, bows and arrows like rain shot towards the city, and in the blink of an eye, a Qing army fell to the ground and never got up again.

At this time, the siege battle of the Qing army and the battle of our defense of the city officially began.

Fortunately, General Da Mole is indeed a capable man who defends the city, this guy commands back and forth above the city gate, although the Qing army came into contact with the city wall, but none of them rushed up.

Twenty thousand men and horses attacked the city, and after a day, they attacked seven or eight times, but none of them broke through our defenses.

After a day's siege and defense, the people on both sides were too tired to do so, and finally they had to collect their troops and go back.

Especially the Qing army, there were no less than 10,000 dead and wounded under this tower, and the kind of eyes they looked at us when they withdrew were not only anger and unwillingness, but also hatred, and that kind of hatred killed people.

That kind of look makes people even more frightened when they see it.

"General, in today's battle, we are already physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, we still held on and did not give the Qing army a chance!"

Pointing to things, General Ma was dressed in rough clothes when he spoke, it seems that in today's battle, not only the soldiers, but even a general like him can hardly support it anymore.

"Yes, today's battle is very suspenseful, fortunately, all the soldiers have supported it, but we can't relax, the next few days are the most difficult, whether it can be supported is even more unknown, who knows when the Qing army under the city will pounce again!"

The more you worry about something, the more you worry about something, what will happen.

As soon as I finished speaking, suddenly a few cannons rang out, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, and then the castle tower began to explode.

"Soldiers, hurry up and hide at the base of the city wall, they are going to bombard us with artillery again, and retreat quickly."

I'm only halfway through my meal, this Qing army guy is really ruthless, he won't let us rest!

Hiding under the city wall, listening to the sound of cannons, General Mole shouted loudly: "This grandma is a barbarian, is this not for us to rest?" General, are they going to attack the city overnight? ”

"Whether they attack the city or not, we must defend it."

Listening to the sound of the cannon, I didn't have the slightest excitement and excitement at this time, but was uneasy and afraid, I was really afraid that another shell would explode next to me in a while, and then I would be directly injured in the sky.

"There are a lot of Qing soldiers, it seems that they are going to use wheel tactics to attack the city, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!"

"Fortunately, General, you expected them to do this, and divided all the centaurs into three teams. They sent people to take turns to attack the city, and we also sent people to defend the city in turns, and everyone is the same! ”

Yes, General Mole is right, but fortunately, I made a preliminary plan at that time, dividing the 40,000 horses into three main teams and one reserve, otherwise we would have to be dragged down in such a situation at this time.

This Qing army is also cunning, and it is really hard enough to attack the city with such tactics.

This battle is also like me and Naqimen in the next game of chess, they have a lot of people, which is their advantage.

And we are defending the city, and the city is strong and easy to defend is also our advantage, and it only depends on how the main generals of both sides deploy troops and how to use troops.

"Now that the cannon is heard, they should attack, hurry up and take the second team to defend the city immediately."

With that, I fell down and rushed up to the tower.

Sure enough, when they reached the city tower, another group of men and horses rushed up under the black pressure, this time no less than 20,000 people to attack the city.

"General, this Qing army seems to be enchanted, they actually began to attack the four city gates at the same time, and the entire county was surrounded."

Soon, General Mole came to report.

"As I expected, it was inevitable that they would besiege the city, and that was not what we wanted. It's just that the next task of defending the city will be even more arduous! ”
