First update, please vote for recommendation, Lao Kun needs everyone’s support On June 21, Qing troops from the Jueluo Bahana Tribe and Shi Tingzhu Tribe arrived in Dezhou.
On the 22nd, Jolupahana ordered his people to write a letter of persuasion to surrender, tie it to an arrow and shoot it into the city, but to no avail.
On the 23rd, the Qing army began to attack the city.
Dezhou City has a circumference of 5,100 meters, a city height of 12 meters, and a wall thickness of 9 meters.
The moat is 15 meters wide and 6 meters deep, with a total of five gates.
Among them, the east gate is Changle Gate, the south gate is Chaoyang Gate, the west gate is Juxiu Gate, the north gate is Gongji Gate, and the northwest gate is Guangchuan Gate, also known as Xiaoxi Gate.
Joluo Bahana sent people to conduct a careful survey around the city, discussed with Shi Tingzhu, and finally decided to attack from the north and west gates, while only feigning attacks from the east and south gates.
This was not because Jolupahana did not want to encircle them, but because the number of armored soldiers they brought this time was limited.
Dezhou is a big city.
If the Qing forces are too spread out, neither side will have an advantage.
Due to the rush of the troops this time, the Qing army did not have time to build many siege equipment.
Even the battering rams were made from cut trees.
However, Joluo Bahana was full of confidence in capturing Texas.
In his opinion, Dezhou City must be very empty at this time.
At most, it is garrisoned by some government officials and rural soldiers.
As long as the Manchu warriors launch a charge, they can easily capture the city.
Thinking of the gold and silver treasures in Dezhou City, the livestock woman Joluo Bahana swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
Haha, the regent treated him well and actually gave him such a good job.
Shi Tingzhu on the side looked a little serious.
It seemed to him that the atmosphere on the eve of the war was a bit strange.
Quiet, too quiet.
Why is Texas like a dead city?
Have everyone in the city escaped?
No matter what, the city still has to be attacked.
As the conch horn sounded, the flag soldiers began to drive away the captured strong men and ordered them to rush towards the moat carrying bags of sandbags.
The moat in Dezhou City is too wide, and it is summer again.
If you want to cross the river, you must fill the moat with sandbags.
Of course, the flag soldiers would not do this work.
The process of filling the river was too dangerous, so naturally these captured strong men had to be in front.
When setting out from the capital, the Qing army captured 20,000 strong Han men.
Half of these people died on the way.
The Qing army captured another 5,000 people near Dezhou.
Therefore, they can now drive about 20,000 strong Han men to fill the river.
Fifteen thousand people.
Joluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu made a rough distribution of tasks.
Joluo Bahana led two thousand Manchurian Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers to attack the north gate, and sent 500 armored soldiers to pretend to attack the east gate.
Shi Tingzhu led 2,000 Han soldiers with red flags in armor to attack the west gate, and at the same time sent 500 armor soldiers to pretend to attack the south gate.
As for the strong men who serve as cannon fodder, they are probably distributed according to this proportion.
Chen Shuncai was lucky enough to be assigned to the queue to attack Ximen.
The west gate was the main direction of attack, which meant that he could enter the city immediately to plunder.
According to Chen Shuncai's past experience, you must rush to the front after breaking the city.
The faster you rush, the more you grab.
If they were assigned to the side of the feint attack, they would probably have to wait until other armored soldiers opened the city gate from the city before they could enter the city, and they would only be able to share the leftovers.
Master Shi said that Dezhou City is extremely empty now.
As long as everyone charges, they can capture the city head and control the entire Dezhou City.

In this case, Chen Shuncai did not want to fall behind and let his companions snatch away all the gold and silver treasures.
"Quick, don't be lazy.
Throw the sandbags into the moat and then move them immediately.
Move quickly."
Chen Shuncai didn't have a good look on these captured young men.
Maybe he felt compassion for these Han people during the march, but now that they were sieging the city, he would never feel any sympathy again.
People are bound to die in war, so as long as it's not you who dies, what's the point?
Whoosh A strong Han man moved a little slower, and Chen Shuncai whipped his head.
A blood-red whip mark suddenly appeared on the strong man's back, and he staggered and almost fell.
"If you are lazy again, I will chop you into pieces."
Chen Shuncai spat fiercely and threatened.
The sooner the moat is filled, the sooner they can attack the city.
Otherwise, thousands of flag soldiers can only stare on the other side of the moat.
"Hurry, faster" Chen Shuncai kept waving his whip, feeling an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
When he was a slave, he was often whipped.
If he was whipped too much, he would know when his master would be angry.
Gradually, Chen Shuncai learned to think about his masters' thoughts and tried his best to please them.
As a result, Chen Shuncai received less and less whippings.
Although he occasionally received a few whippings, it was to remind him that it was not his duty to be a slave.
Isn't it precisely because of his conscientiousness and loyalty as a slave that his master carried the flag and became a bannerman of the Han army?
Look at this bunch of idiots in front of us.
They are all cheating and cheating and refuse to work honestly.
Aren’t they looking for trouble?
The strong men who were driven away by whips carried sandbags and rushed towards the moat with all their strength, silently chanting the blessings of Bodhisattva and the protection of Buddha.
However, the Buddha and Bodhisattva they were praying for did not seem to appear.
After they entered the range of the bow and arrow, arrows rained down from the top of the city.
Although the strong men tried their best to protect their cheeks with sandbags, arrows would still hit their vital parts.
These strong men don't even have a complete set of clothes, not to mention armor, so ordinary carved feather arrows can cause great damage to them.
Many strong men were shot before they even reached the moat and fell down like mud.
Some strong men rushed to the river by luck, threw the sandbags in their hands into the river, and ran back as hard as they could.
But most of them were nailed to death by chasing arrows before they could even take a few steps.
The strong men who fled back had to carry another bag of sand and repeat the previous task under the coercion of the flag soldiers.
Chen Shuncai was slightly stunned when he saw this.
The defenders at the top of the city seemed to have plenty of arrows and had no intention of holding back their arrows.
But this is normal.
Dezhou is a big city after all, and it is also the northwest gate of Shandong.
The arsenal in the city must be very abundant.
But so what They relied on the fortified city to resist for a while.
When the strong men filled up the moat, the flag soldiers could easily attack the city and capture Dezhou.
However, the rain of arrows fired from the top of the city showed no sign of stopping.
The proportion of casualties among the able-bodied men was too high.
Many were afraid to move forward, and some even turned around and ran back.
Chen Shuncai couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.
It would be terrible if these strong men broke up the ranks of armored soldiers.
He took a deep breath, pulled out his waist knife and yelled: "No running away, no running away.

Anyone who retreats will die."
Most of the other armored soldiers with red flags in the Han army drew their swords like Chen Shuncai.
If these strong men did not stop, they would kill them with their swords
