When Yellowstone and Duncan raised their heads, the Ming archers were bravely facing the lookout pushed up, and the auxiliaries around them were also holding their shields high in front of the archers.

With the advantage of height, the lookout provided more cover for the archers on the Houjin side, while the Ming army's auxiliaries could only use flesh and blood to protect those precious archers, and some of the auxiliaries had already been hit by several arrows, but still struggled to retreat until the reinforcements came up.

After the city was down, the Jin army's cumbersome siege ladder tower also climbed over, and the Ming army in the fort was also preparing fire pots, and a team of soldiers had already grabbed the guys and were ready to go to the wall.

After the staircase approached the fort gate, the battle entered the white heat, and the Ming soldiers in the back row of the wall drew their swords one after another, preparing to fight the enemy troops who entered the city. And with the suppression of the Ming archers by the watchtower, the Houjin archers also took the opportunity to rush to the city and began to try to cover the soldiers who had ascended the city.

Ming soldiers were constantly making short runs at the head of the city, trying to throw oil cans towards watchtowers and ladder towers, and Dongjiang officers were constantly observing the effect, directing crossbow machines to shoot rockets at targets where there were enough oil tanks concentrated.

This scene made Duncan sigh again: "Your soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are very brave and admirable, and such good soldiers are rare in Tessie." ”

As always, Huangshi was happy to hear this.

There was a heavy crash at the gate of the fort, Huang Shi knew that it was a rushing car trying to break the door latch, the Ming army under the tower began to line up, hundreds of Ming soldiers lined up after a while, an officer was not in a hurry to give each of them a turn to salute the Zhuangxing wine, they were ready to go out of the city to destroy the siege equipment, this kind of work without going back Zhang Pan was naturally embarrassed to hand over to Huang Shi's subordinates, and few generals dared to hand over this kind of task to the guest army.

Before leaving, there was first fire cover, and the red flag of Zhang Pan passed the order to the head of the city, and the officers there immediately organized a strike, and hundreds of Ming soldiers immediately rushed forward and poked their heads out to attack the enemy formation under the city. However, the first coordination was a bit chaotic, because it was not a simultaneous probe attack, and the covering archers that the Houjin army had already prepared killed and injured many soldiers who poured into the Ming army in batches.

The banner reported the failure back, and Zhang Pan had to order another attempt.

This time the effect was very good, several teams of Ming troops probed almost simultaneously, splashing boiling water and hot oil, followed by big trees and rolling stones, and finally a row of archers in the probe also carried out a aimed shot. Several Ming officers had been clutching their helmets, carefully peering down through the battlements, and this time they waved their hands back desperately almost at the same time, signaling that the time had come. The banner at the north gate immediately reported the latest battle situation, and at the same time continued to intensify the dispersal of the enemy army under the city.

The tower ordered the Ming army on the inside to fight, and after the bang sounded, the soldiers half-crouched down like the runners Huangshi had seen, and as soon as the fort gate was opened, they roared and ran out in a hundred-meter sprint. Huang Shi saw them and immediately fought the Houjin soldiers who poured in. The observation officer at the north gate reported very accurately - the enemy troops in front of the city gate were in disarray, and they were immediately pushed out by the Ming army.

The soldiers guarding the fort gate pushed the two gates with all their might, slamming them behind the commandos and cutting off Yellowstone's view. The banner at the north gate seemed to be constantly reporting the battle going smoothly, and although Huangshi could not see the battle at the city gate, the Ming army on the wall had begun to calmly attack the city, and there were still two lookouts close to the city being pushed in their eyes.

This group of soldiers bought the Ming army in the city a long time to shoot freely, more watchtowers and towers were hit and burned, and Houjin's archers seemed to have been driven away by a considerable distance. It had been a long time since bows and arrows had been fired into the tower, and the Ming army was attacking more and more freely, and Huang Shi noticed that the shooters on the Houjin Lookout had also focused their attention on the outside of the fort gate.

When there was another crash at the fort gate, Huang Shi felt that more than half an hour had passed. Hundreds of soldiers came out to line up under the tower, and when they were in formation, the auxiliaries brought barrels, and the leading officer began to salute his soldiers......

The tactics of the Ming army have always been to use soldiers as meat walls to protect the gates, so as to obtain a better exchange ratio, generally put soldiers outside the gates, and occasionally open the city gates to replenish. But there are not many soldiers in Fort Arthur, and now Zhang Pan is intent on consuming Houjin's siege equipment, so he has to get closer every time to fight. After the commandos go out, the gate of the fort will never be opened for them again, and every officer and soldier from top to bottom knows this.

Yellowstone watched as the soldiers threw their necks up one by one and drank the bowl of spirits...... Is this the price of a brave life?

With a bang, the soldier scrambled to smash the bowl under his feet, and then wiped his mouth angrily...... Oh, and add a bowl to that too.

By the end of the first day, the siege equipment that Houjin had worked so hard to haul was reimbursed, and the soldiers of Fort Arthur had a family feud and their will to fight was almost crazy, which greatly surprised Houjin's expectations.

The Huangshi Department has never attacked, and whether the guest army can fight with the same sacrifice as the main army of Lushun, Huangshi himself is not very confident, after all, they have no relatives and property to defend here.

The next day there was a light rain, and the Houjin army suspended the attack, and it was almost impossible to attack in this weather in the cold weapon era, because the attacker's bow and arrow could not be used at all in the rain, and the defender at least had rolling logs and boulders.

If the heavy rain will greatly reduce the rate of firearms, then at the same time, it will also make the bow and crossbow completely scrap metal. Historically, the highly trained British army used large-brimmed hats and cotton yarn to ensure that the fire rate of muskets in heavy rain was about 40%, and the artillery could even reach 70% because of the fire door cover. But the bow and arrow of cold weapons cannot be guaranteed, and the powerful infantry crossbow is even only twenty meters away in the heavy rain. And this has nothing to do with training, once the soaked bowstring and bow body are wet, they are nothing, and on sunny days, a stone bow will be damaged as long as you use three points of force on rainy days, and greater strength will be scrapped directly.

The Lushun Ming army took off the bowstring and kept it carefully until the rain stopped in the evening and then dried it and put it back, and the Houjin army transformed the damaged equipment into a ladder on this day.

After the third day, the Jin army dispersed and attacked Fort Arthur from all sides, trying to find the weak links of the defenders. Zhang Pan immediately organized the troops to counterattack, taking advantage of the internal line of operations, and constantly fought out from the three fortress gates to disrupt the pace of the enemy's attack, and retreated before the large number of enemy reinforcements.

Huang Shi was already standing with Zhang Pan at this time, because Zhang Pan felt that his counterattack force was a little insufficient, and planned to use the Huang Shi Department that he was not familiar with

"The Jiannu army there is weak. A soldier shouted as he pointed to a flag on the wall in the distance.

Zhang Pan squinted for a moment, then looked at the banner of the North Gate Tower, turned around and said to Huang Shi: "General Huang, there is a labor department, please order two hundred soldiers to go out of the north gate and go there to destroy the cloud ladder." ”

Huang Shi immediately sent guards to inform He Baodao, and a group of men and horses drove towards the north gate, and the guards of the fort gate also opened the city gate in time and covered it according to the order.

Zhang Pan was not very relieved about their combat effectiveness, and Huang Shi didn't know how the table was, both of them sweated, and it wasn't until the flag came over that Zhang Pan was relieved: "There are no weak soldiers under the strong general, and the enemy army will be dispersed so quickly." ”

"Enemy reinforcement!" one of the soldiers shouted again, and the banner pointed out that a large number of enemy mobile forces were heading towards He Baodao's location.

"Let the north gate sound gold, and at the same time attack from the west gate. Zhang Pan quickly gave the order.

When the attacking force returned, Yellowstone saw the soldiers sitting on the ground or drinking water and horses, and only one knight galloped straight towards the tower.

"A certain is the Dongjiang guerrilla general Huang under the command of the training of the general He Baodao," the knight slammed his horse before rushing straight to the tower, threw a flag to the ground at the feet of the two generals, and then threw down a head: "A certain person captures a big banner and beheads one person." ”

He Baodao and Jin Qiude's soldiers and several other teams of Ming troops took turns to attack, and when He Baodao returned again, he held high and brought back a banner: "A certain is a guerrilla general under the command of General Huang to train thousands of troops He Baodao......"

When he came back for the third time, there were two heads rolling around at the feet of Huang Shi and Zhang Pan: "A certain person won a big flag and cut two levels!"

Another sortie...... "A certain cut a general, capture the flag on both sides." ”

When He Baodao came back for the last time before dark, Zhang Pan and Huangshi were staring closely at the city gate where he was about to appear, and sure enough, He Baodao, who was in the lead, rushed to Huangshi and Zhang Pan again, this time He Baodao, whose face was covered with blood, once again held the snatched military flag and shouted, and forcefully saluted the two generals and threw it to the feet of Huangshi again.

The soldiers and soldiers up and down the tower will cheer in unison every time they report their names and throw down the military flag in He Baodao, and this time in addition to Huang Shi and Zhang Pan, the rest of the officers also applauded.

"Mr. Qian?!, such a fierce general, ......" Zhang Pan, who was surprised and delighted, finally blurted out the words in his heart this time, but he realized that something was wrong after saying a few words, and pointed at He Baodao's arm and stopped in mid-air.

Huang Shi still smiled silently, but the soldiers behind him had already looked sideways at Zhang Pan, and their faces were slightly angry. Zhang Pan, who knew that he was speechless, laughed twice and withdrew his hand, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing for a while.

"I don't think he can be promoted yet, does General Zhang want to fight for him?" Huang Shi made a joke to defuse the situation.

"Haha, exactly. Zhang Pan also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a smile: "Although it is General Huang's territory, I have to draw a sword to help when I see that the road is uneven." ”

Huang Shi noticed that Zhang Pan's gaze had been reluctantly revolving around He Baodao's body, and his expression was also very subtle.
