"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The cannon sound on the city of Jinan was like thunder, and a large number of flying stones rushed out from the muzzles of the Francophone and the tiger squat cannon.

Puffs of white smoke rose along with the orange-red firelight, and the deafening sound of cannons continued to echo in everyone's ears.

"Kill!!"

The deafening shouts of killing swept from outside the city, like a monstrous wave, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave!!

The Qing army's offensive was not hindered much by the artillery at the head of the city, and the ravines outside Jinan had already been filled in enough roads for a large army to pass.

A large number of ladders were erected on the periphery of Jinan City, and the elite of the Qing army wearing various colors of armor were hidden behind those followers and auxiliaries.

The wide shield carts were displayed under the city walls, and the Qing army infantry archers in light armor were hidden behind the shield carts, and they kept an eye on the battlements in the city walls, and whenever they saw an opportunity to strike, they would immediately jump out of the shield carts and shoot the heavy arrows that were buckled.

The arrows they shot were so fierce and accurate that they could even cross a distance of dozens of paces and shoot the Ming archers behind the battlements through the narrow battlements.

On the top of the city tower, Zhang Bingwen, the political envoy of Shandong Zuobu, stood at the position of the battlement, and looked at the battle situation under the city with a gloomy expression.

Zhang Bingwen was wearing a bright iron helmet and armor, and he was wearing a scarlet civil official uniform, the broken official uniform had long since lost its former light, and the original wide cuffs had been tied with his arms.

He had a belt around his waist, and on top of it hung a waist knife, on which there were several dried blood stains.

Zhang Bingwen's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyebrows were tired, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

The Qing soldiers have been besieging the city for five days, and the Qing soldiers are surrounded on all sides, attacking on all sides, driving the people to fill in the trenches, and the soldiers of the army to attack the city, almost day and night.

Less than half of the 3,000 officers and soldiers who were originally stationed in the city are still standing.

The generals suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers were exhausted, and they were almost exhausted.

In the past few days, information about casualties has reached his ears, and a list of the dead has been presented to him.

Although the young men recruited in the city are bloody and brave, they are not warriors after all, and there are not too many armor soldiers in the city for them to use.

Many of the young men were armed with simple weapons such as sticks and spears, and a hundred or so people could not get a collar of armor.

They still have the strength to fight in the face of the Qing army's followers and auxiliaries, but in the face of the Qing army's horse armor soldiers and heavy armor soldiers who are sandwiched in the Qing army's followers, there is no way to resist at all.

The armored soldiers of the Qing army were wearing several layers of heavy armor, and even swords and arrows were difficult to penetrate, and how could they be pierced by wooden planks and wooden spears.

But the sharp knives in the hands of those Qing army armor soldiers can easily cut through the flesh and blood of the strong men in the city who are not wearing armor.

Every Qing soldier who ascended the city could inflict huge casualties, and countless soldiers could only be driven down the city or beheaded by the fall of countless soldiers.

But Rao is so, and no one flinched half a point.

Everyone knows what will happen after the city is broken, and everyone knows what will happen after the city is broken.

The city of Jinan is full of corpses, the dead are from each other, and even the wall buttresses are crawling with corpses from both sides, and the flowing blood is accumulated on the city wall, and even the city bricks are dyed red.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The war drums outside the city were like thunder, and a Qing army armor soldier wearing blue armor and holding a sword also ascended to the top of the city at this time.

The armor soldier of the Qing army has a big head and a thick neck, a full beard, an extremely long knife mark on his cheek, and the armor is full of blood.

Although the establishment of the Qing army has changed several times, it is still generally similar to the Ming army, and the Qing army's armor soldiers are the special commanders in the army, which is equivalent to the small flag officers of the Ming army.

Before the Qing army reached the city, several Qing army remnants and followers had already opened a gap, and the soldiers guarding this place had already been killed and dispersed by them.

Seeing that there were armored soldiers behind him to enter the city, the remaining Ding of the Qing army also re-energized, and the Ming army and Ding Zhuang who were defending the city all changed their complexions.

Every time the Qing army attacked, once the gap was opened, if it could not be driven off the city wall in time, a large number of armored soldiers would be immediately sent to the city from that place.

"Rush over and drive them off the walls!!"

I don't know who shouted, and all the Ming troops and Ding Zhuang on the city wall flocked away.

"Kill!!"

On the city wall, a group of Ming soldiers and Ding Zhuang shouted forward, and they shouted loudly, forcibly suppressing the fear in their hearts.

"Nikan, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Facing the swarming Ming army Ding Zhuang, the Qing army who had climbed the city wall just snorted coldly.

The Ming army in front of him and the weapons in Ding Zhuang's hands were not at all capable of harming him.

Originally, the Ming army array on the city wall was still quite neat, and the Yu Ding who had ascended first had been killed, and these Ming army Ding Zhuang who swarmed in, they came in chaos without any order, although they looked quite loud, but they were all flaws.

The Qing army did not hesitate at all, the whole body was lowered, leaned forward slightly, and jumped out quickly.

The snow-white sword light appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the sound of the sword entering the flesh echoed in everyone's ears.

The two Ming soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground, blood gushing down their throats.

After the Qing army sealed his throat with a knife, he suddenly slumped his shoulders and slammed into the crowd.

The first person to be hit was a young man wearing a green scarf and a short brown shirt, he didn't expect this sudden impact at all, and the whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.

The force of the impact almost knocked him out, his mind blanked, and he could control his body.

Several people behind him were caught off guard and were also taken to the ground, and the crowd was also stagnant.

The sword light resurfaced, and the Qing army took a step back suddenly, and the knife in his hand drew a huge semicircle in the air, and several people were cut to the ground by him.

In the midst of the chaos, someone raised the weapon in his hand and stabbed at the Qing army.

The Qing army waved his sword in his hand, separating most of the weapons, but he was still stabbed by a wooden spear.

Although the wooden spear was not able to penetrate the armor on the Qing army's body, it was enough to make the Qing army lose its balance.

Losing your balance means revealing flaws.

At the moment when the flaws were revealed, several Ming soldiers and Ding Zhuang in the crowd with short knives in their hands had already jumped out.

In the face of the heavy armor of the Qing army, they also had their own set of methods in the fierce battle for several days.

Although the wooden spear and wooden spear did not break the armor, it still had a lot of power, and as long as it could knock the heavy armor to the ground, the combat power of the heavy armor would be almost none.

At this time, someone with a short knife can pierce through the gap in the armor or the exposed part, and it can be quickly solved.

This kind of play is often helpless, and it often takes several people or even a dozen people to be able to do it reluctantly.

Moreover, this is still a method of warfare that can only be used for defense on the city wall, and the heavy armored soldiers on the plains are like a wall, and only the number of wooden spears and wooden guns is useless.

However, this tactic, which has often worked in the past, has not been successful.

The two feathered arrows shot one after the other, and the two Ming light soldiers who rushed to the forefront were shot to the ground by the arrows on the spot.

And the last Ding Zhuang with a short knife was already a step slower, and the Qing army stood firm again, and with a turn of the knife in his hand, he also fell on the blue bricks of the city wall on the spot.

The attacking feather arrows were shot by the Qing army armor soldiers who followed the city, and along the position of this gap, it was only a blink of an eye that three more Qing army armor soldiers boarded.

One of them hurried over with a sword and shield in his hand, and the other two Qing soldiers held bows and arrows to keep pulling strings and arrows, and more Qing soldiers under the city wall were coming along the ladder.

The faces of the Ming army and Ding Zhuang, who defended the city, were all wandering, and no one dared to step forward again.

The situation deteriorated rapidly, and this was no longer a situation they could handle.

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Qing army, the first achievement was close at hand, and the position he obtained was enough for him to be promoted to the rank of Paishku.

But in the next moment, the sudden change made the Qing army's expression change suddenly, he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, the sound of the fire gun was already overwhelming all the noise above the city wall.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!! ”

The thick white smoke in the crowd suddenly rose up, and several huge blood holes suddenly exploded on the body of the Qing army master, and the blood suddenly gushed out, and the double heavy armor he was wearing did not play any role in protection.

The guns of the Ming army were released at a distance of more than ten paces, and the bird guns at this distance were enough to break through all the armor.

The broken body of the Qing army fell heavily to the ground, and several Qing army armor soldiers and followers were also knocked to the ground by the sudden fire.

"Kill!!"

Zhang Bingwen held the Yanling knife in his hand, and led the guards to finally plug the gap that was opened.

A soldier of the Qing army on the ladder had already boarded the battlement at this time, and the two spears stabbed straight away, one left and one right.

The spear did not pierce the armor of the Qing army's armor, but it took his body out of the way and fell down.

The Qing army armor soldier tumbled and fell, bringing down the armor soldier who was climbing under the ladder along the way.

The sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground came from the bottom of the city wall, and Zhang Bingwen squinted his eyes and looked down along the battlement.

The Qing soldier who fell down first lay motionless on the ground, seeing that he was no longer alive.

This section of the city wall is three feet long, and there are at least more than 200 catties with a suit of armor, so how can you survive if you fall directly like this.

Few of the soldiers who were taken down by him were killed on the spot, but most of them were also thrown lightly, and they didn't have much combat strength for a while.

The danger of this section of the wall was temporarily dismantled.

It's just that......

Zhang Bingwen turned his head to look at the other sections of the city wall, and fierce battles were now breaking out on the city walls everywhere.

The siege intensity of the Qing army was unprecedented, far beyond their imagination.

At first, no one could have predicted that the Qing army would actually attack Jinan, so there was not much preparation in the city at all, and there was a serious lack of armament in the city.

Rolling logs and stones were even a lot of dismantling the houses, and there was not much gunpowder prepared at all, and now these were almost exhausted, and the reinforcements were ...... But it has not yet arrived.

"Reinforcements...... Still not any news? ”

Zhang Bingwen held the Yanling knife in his hand and asked left and right.

He was still met with a long silence.

And at this moment, the war drums outside the city were rolling, still resounding in the field, and the armor soldiers of the Qing army were surging like a tide.

……

Jinan Mansion, Yucheng.

In the first year of Tang Tianbao, Tang Xuanzong took the meaning of "Yu Xi Ancient City" in the south of the city, and changed the name of Zhu'a County, which had been used for 1,700 years, to "Yu".

Therefore, the name of Yucheng has been used until now, and this city has been weathered by wind, frost, rain and snow.

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and through the Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, until the Ming Dynasty, Chengping did not see sword soldiers for more than 200 years.

However, the peace of more than 200 years was finally broken......

A few days earlier, the Qing army of the brigade had swept through Yucheng, almost emptying the surrounding towns and villages.

And now, on the official road outside Yucheng, the crowd is densely covered with the originally wide official road, and the team stretches and winds until the edge of the sky, and the mighty can't see the edge at all.

The cavalry of the brigade swept over the fields on both sides of the road, and countless footsteps stepped over the official road and brought the wind, snow, mud and water of the road.

On the official road, red flags were unfurled, guns and spears were everywhere, and the soldiers of the brigade were marching south.

Most of the soldiers in the team were wearing red mandarin duck battle jackets, helmets, and spears or bird guns on their shoulders.

The clothes and weapons on their bodies all show their identities to the outside world, and the army that is marching south outside Yucheng is the Ming army!

Chen Wang led the war horse and led the guards to stand on the side of the official road, and his eyes were on the farthest part of the north at this time.

The official road is full of red seas, and countless Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets are marching, and the eyes are eye-catching red.

The beam-mounted horses responsible for reconnaissance and reconnaissance galloped back and forth on the outside of the official road at night, conveying the enemy situation and road conditions in front of them, and guiding the correct march route for the army.

Yucheng is more than 130 miles away from Dezhou, only more than 100 miles to Jinan, and is located in the center of the two cities.

Chen Wang held a horsewhip in his hand, his eyes swam back and forth on the marching soldiers on the official road, and his eyes were like deep wells, making people unable to see their thoughts and thoughts.

"Jinan ......"

Chen Wang turned his head and headed southeast.

The southeast is the direction of Jinan, and it is also their final destination.

The storm caused by the flapping of his butterfly's wings has changed the entire battle situation.

In the original historical process, after the defeat of Jia Zhuang, Sun Chuanting believed that it was important to hold on to the important ground, and he should defend strictly and wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, not a wasted battle.

Liu Yuliang's Qing army was stagnant, and even local disputes occurred, which caused Chongzhen to be dissatisfied.

Gao Yingxiang closed the door and did not come out, and Zu Kuan did not dare to lead the troops south to help......

But right now, except for Gao Yingxiang, who is still wandering in Linqing and does not dare to help, everything is completely different from the original process.

"Woo————"

The low and melodious sound of the trumpet came slowly from the northeast direction.

Chen Wang turned his head and followed the sound in the direction of the northeast.

As far as the eye can see, there is a red wave flowing towards the southeast like a tide all over the mountains.

Countless red flags were displayed, countless red armor was shining, and countless war horses galloped with a thunderous roar, mixed with deafening shouts, soaring into the sky!

In the middle of the tide, a blue dajiu stands in the center of the wave, embroidered with a big "ancestor" character with white silk thread!
