Chapter 11: Night Battle

The thunder of the sky cracking on the city wall came, and Jiletab, who was deploying troops in the school field inside the Qiantang Gate, stood up suddenly.

"What are you doing in a daze, go get out of here and see, what's going on?"

Giltab shouted angrily, commanding his ignorant men.

The generals in the tent hurried out, and Giltab was distraught and rushed out of the tent first, and the sound of fighting on the northern wall made his heart tremble.

The sound of the fight is so close, is it ......

"General, rebel...... The rebels have broken the city!"

A group of banner generals ran in in a panic and knelt down to report one after another.

"What?"

Giltarab's heart was struck like lightning, and he was stupid on the spot.

"What the hell is ...... What's ...... What's the situation? ”

Giltarb's face turned pale and he asked in a trembling voice.

"General, the north wall was blown up by the rebels from the small camp gate, and the rebels divided into two ways, all the way up the city wall, all the way in, and went straight to the church!"

The report from his subordinates stunned Giltab, who was in astonishment, when earth-shattering explosions were heard, some from the front, and also from the city walls.

"Go ahead...... For the old ...... Sub block! ”

Giltab was so anxious that he spoke even more tremblingly.

As soon as Giltarab finished speaking, the fire in front of the school yard rose into the sky, illuminating half of the school yard.

The rebels have approached the Qing army camp on the school grounds.

On the walls of the city, the sword and shield men were in front, the grenadiers followed, and the pikemen and musketeers were behind, and they followed the city walls from west to east, and then to the south, from south to north, all the way bombarding and bombing, slashing and stabbing like ghosts in the night, and like the gods of hell.

A "10,000 enemies" is equivalent to a small cannon, and the flesh and blood of the toucher are flying, the flesh and blood are blurred, and the blood is extremely bloody.

No matter how fierce and stubborn the opponent is, a spear and stabbing will be repeated, and the flesh and blood will fly, and all of them will be scattered.

Pinghai Gate in the south city, the dense Qing army in the city gate tower resisted stubbornly, desperately shooting outward, and the righteous army continued to fall to the ground, drenched in blood, and the screams of pain resounded through the night sky.

"Bomb Lao Tzu!"

Sun Bai was furious, shouted loudly, took the lead, lit a "10,000 enemies", and threw it out desperately, landing at the gate of the city gate.

The sword and shield men erected a shield wall, and the grenadiers mustered up their courage and set fire to the "ten thousand enemies" one after another, and threw them towards the city gatehouse.

"Pass! Open! Open! ”

The raindrops of "10,000 enemies" flew to the city gate tower to grasp, and the explosions continued one after another. A few grenadiers rushed forward, and a few ignited "10,000 enemies" were thrown directly into the city gate tower.

The smoke and dust were flying, the screams in the city gate tower were continuous, and the thick black smoke continued to pour out, accompanied by bursts of ghosts and wolves, and there was no counterattack in the city gate tower.

"Occupy the walls! Artillery is aimed at the city! ”

Sun Bai commanded his subordinates to continue to move forward, and the pikemen and musketeers followed, quickly controlling the eastern city wall, and the artillery changed direction and aimed at the burning city.

Under the light of the fire, the rebels poured in from the collapsed north wall and encountered the Qing troops in the church. A frontal charge, the corpses left by the Qing army in one place, were pushed into the school yard one after another, relying on the fences and barracks around the teaching ground to fight back, and resisted stubbornly.

The soldiers of the rebels who went forward fell in the fierce fire of the Qing army.

"Pong! Disheveled! Disheveled! ”

The artillery of the Qing army rang out, like a raging storm, and dozens of officers and men of the volunteer army who were just about to break through the camp gate were beaten and staggered, and the rest withdrew from the teaching ground one after another, looking for a hiding place to hide and return fire.

"Stand back!"

On the city wall, seeing the heavy casualties of his subordinates, Li Xingzhong's face was red, his eyes were like a wolf, he pointed to the school field, and roared angrily.

"Give Lao Tzu a flat on them!"

The city has been destroyed, and there are so many brothers killed and wounded, it is really unbearable.

"Third brother, I don't know if I will hurt ...... by mistake"

The skinny monkey hesitated.

"What kind of bullshit was injured by mistake, let's talk about the demon's cannon first!"

After Li Xingzhong finished speaking, he hesitated.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops, let the brothers retreat first!"

The thin monkey passed the military order, pointing to the hazy school field, confused.

"Third brother, what are those banner men going to do?"

In the distance, many bannermen, women, and old men, half-grown children, all armed with guns, knives, bows and arrows, poured in from the distance, and obviously did not come to surrender.

"Native chickens and tile dogs, I don't know whether to live or die!"

Li Xingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly.

Both the army and the people are soldiers, and this is the last struggle.

He turned his head and let out a loud noise.

"Mingjin withdrew his troops, and all the artillery on the north and east city walls were aimed at Lao Tzu's teaching ground, and Lao Tzu razed it to the ground!"

Li Xingzhong's military order was issued, and all the gunners on the east and north city walls were immediately busy.

The sound of gold on the city wall sounded, Zhao Guohao was slightly stunned, and then ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the camp gate.

Don't ask, this guy Li Xingzhong is going crazy!

The rebels retreated, and the Qing troops in the camp were stunned, they were suspicious, the fire on the city wall flashed, the rumbling artillery sound was earth-shattering, the cannonballs screamed and whistling, flying in the slightly white air, gathering towards the sky above the teaching ground.

It's about to dawn!

"Hide!"

Giltarb was terrified and shouted loudly for his soldiers and civilians to hide.

The shells fell in the church, rampage, flying wantonly, the fence was smashed to pieces, the people in the church were overturned, the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed, and everywhere there were panicked and fleeing crowds, and the screams continued. The stables were smashed in all directions, and several war horses were killed and injured, causing the war horses to be frightened and run wildly, and the entire military camp was in chaos.

The shells rained down and covered all the houses in the churchyard. Bannermen, soldiers and civilians were constantly killed and wounded, screams and cries were everywhere, corpses and blood were everywhere.

Giltarb hid in a barracks, secretly terrified.

The sky is about to dawn, and if we continue to defend like this, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be scattered.

Rebels, where did so much artillery come from?

The city is full, I'm afraid I can't hold it.

The sky is bright, the thin monkey enters from the Yingzi Gate in the southeast of the city, and arrives at the Jingting Bridge, only to see the figures in front of the building, many banner people and soldiers and civilians are dancing knives and guns, stretching bows and arrows, and are running towards the righteous army, among which there are many women and old men.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Someone from one of my subordinates asked.

"Cold salad!"

The thin monkey uttered a mantra of Wang Heyao and shouted loudly.

"Ready! Reload your ammo! ”

All the gunners and musketeers began to reload their ammunition.

As the soldiers and civilians of the bannermen approached, the firecrackers and feathered arrows began to shoot, hitting the shields and the railings of the bridge, and the "Bangbang" sounded, and the soldiers were already killed and wounded and fell.

The thin monkey watched coldly, silently, he slowly raised his hand and waved it down suddenly.

"Fire!"

The thin monkey immediately gave the order to open fire.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and when he arrives on the battlefield, it will be a bloody killing, and he can't let the other party kill him.

The bannermen, soldiers and civilians were knocked down head-on, and the streets were full of ghosts and wolves, and blood was all over the ground.

"Grenadier!"

Dozens of "10,000 enemies" were thrown over, and the soldiers and civilians of the banner people on the opposite side suffered countless casualties.

"I can't help myself!"

The thin monkey snorted coldly, and his voice suddenly became louder.

"Listen to it, you must not be taken captive, you must not be lewd, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with. But if you encounter those who resist, you will be killed! ”

The armies echoed loudly and moved forward to kill.

"My lord, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Dai Zi followed. He had to participate in this city battle to stop the killing.

"Dai Gongzi, have something to say!"

Knowing that Wang Heyao attaches great importance to this Dai Zi, the thin monkey does not dare to slack off.

"Compared with the money, the grain and grass in the city are the most worthy of occupation."

Dai Zi's words made the thin monkey stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"Dai Gongzi, do you know where the granary in this city is?"

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the grain and grass were taken, which was really a great achievement.

"My lord, please come with me!"

Dai Zi bowed, and the thin monkey led his subordinates and followed closely.
