After Qin Yongchun changed into dry clothes, he led the white-pole soldiers and ran to the grain depot mentioned by Wu Lhasu.
The main purpose of attacking Taunggyi was this batch of grain, so the people of Taunggyu must not let the grain be stolen.
Destroy.
Outside the grain depot, there was a group of Taungu people, holding torches, swords and guns, and seemed to be arguing about something.
Qin Yongchun breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there was no fire coming out, it was a good thing.
The white-pole soldiers shouted and rushed forward, killing the quarreling Toungoo people and sending them fleeing in all directions, and then guarded the entrance of the grain depot.
Qin Yongchun took people in to take a look and saw that the food was piled full of food.
Only then did he really feel relieved.
After a while, another group of Dongxu people came to attack the grain depot.
After being repelled by the white pole soldiers, no one came again.
At dawn, Xiong Tianyi came over with a group of guards and said to Qin Yongchun: "Zhang The battalion commander wants us to stick to the grain depot and wait for the troops from behind to come up.
We should not leave the city before the large troops arrive.
You can take the white pole soldiers to inspect and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net. " Two thousand people guarded a city, and there was a lot of food in the city.
Everyone was worried that the Toungoo people would send people to attack, so they stepped up repairs of the blown-up city gates and suspension bridges.
At the same time, Zhang Yibin sent people to Lailin to ask for help.
The troops behind will catch up quickly.
However, Taungzhi is different from Lailin.
It is only three hundred miles away from Taungu City.
There are many towns around it, and the news has long been spread back to Taungu City.
So that night, the first fierce battle since entering Taungoo ushered in.
The attacking Taungoo people numbered more than five thousand, carrying trebuchets and firearms.
Zhang Yibin placed the guards on the city wall to prepare for the attack.
The Taungoo people installed the trebuchet from a distance, and then started firing towards Taunggyi City.
Zhang Yibin shouted: "Leave a few people to watch, and everyone else should go down to the city and hide."
Basically, the Guardsmen got off the city wall, and were close to the blind corner of the city wall where stone bullets could not hit.
Stone bullets flew and rattled the city wall, but no one was hurt.
Qin Yongchun said to Zhang Yibin: "Captain Zhang, this is not the way to go.
Why don't we go out in the dark and destroy this trebuchet."
Zhang Yibin shook his head and said: "We have few people and we won't be able to take advantage if we go out.
The enemy will definitely attack the city tomorrow, so we'd better conserve our strength first.
They must stop their trebuchets when they attack the city."
Qin Yongchun asked again: "Should we kill all the Taungu prisoners in the city to avoid more trouble?"
Zhang Yibin shook his head again and said: "If you can not kill prisoners, try not to kill them.
We are not here to hit and run.
This place will eventually become a part of the Ming Dynasty.
Killing too many prisoners is not good for future rule."
The trebuchets stopped attacking after dark.
The Guardsmen checked and found that the city wall was still strong.
Only the observation hole on the top of the city was partially smashed.
In order to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, Zhang Yibin asked Xiong Tianyi to take people there.
Buried caltrops.
Now the Ming army's caltrops are all made of steel, divided into two types.
Now Xiong Tianyi is laying small and pointed infantry caltrops, which are mainly used to prevent infantry sneak attacks.
There is also a larger one used to prevent cavalry from charging.

The white pole soldiers were responsible for patrolling and keeping vigil, while the guards began to rest.
Qin Yongchun himself captured Taunggyi at night, so he naturally knew to prevent the enemy from using this method to enter the city, so he patrolled extremely carefully.
At around two o'clock in the morning, a scream suddenly came from outside the city.
Qin Yongchun perked up, jumped up and blew the whistle.
The white soldiers who had no patrol duties were resting on the city wall with blankets spread out.
They immediately sat up and prepared to fight.
The Donggyu people outside the city were preparing for a sneak attack, but unexpectedly they stepped on an iron caltrop and alerted the white pole soldiers.
The Donggyu people refused to do anything, so they simply started to attack the city.
At this time, the Guards who were resting under the city wall quickly got up and swarmed up the city wall.
The white-pole soldier lit the torch, then threw it down from a distance and landed next to the moat.
The Guards held fire cannons and started shooting at the Toungu soldiers.
At this time, the Dongxu people started to throw stone projectiles with trebuchets.
Zhang Yibin asked the white pole soldiers and some guards to get down the city wall first and guard outside the city gate.
Then let the remaining Guards hide behind the city wall as much as possible and spread out to reduce losses.
Because there were no torches on the city, the accuracy of the trebuchets was affected, but some soldiers were still injured by splashing stones.
The Toungu people placed trees across the moat, crossed the moat easily, and then rushed towards the city gate.
When Dongyu soldiers crossed the river, the trebuchet stopped firing.
The Guards poked their heads out from the city wall and started shooting at the Taungoo people below.
Because there were so many people in Taungoo, although we could not see clearly, the screams after being shot could still be heard constantly.
The Dongxu people divided themselves into two sides and approached the city gate, and soon entered the city gate cave.
When they saw that there was no city gate in the city gate cave, they were overjoyed and rushed towards the city.
The Guards were divided into six rows and were waiting at the exit of the city gate.
When the commander gave an order, three rows of fire cannons were fired together, and then began to retreat.
The other three rows stepped forward, aiming their fire cannons, and waited for the commander's order.
In the narrow city gate, a large number of bullets swept through, and the people of Dongxu who were crowded together suffered a disaster, and the people in front fell to the ground.
The people in Tounguu behind had no way to retreat, so they had no choice but to rush forward with shouts.
The Guards continued to fire, and the people in Dongxu kept falling to the ground, and people kept rushing towards the city gate.
Soon the blood filled the city gate hole, and the thick smell of blood made people want to gag.
More and more people from Toungoo slowly fell into the city gate.
The people behind had to climb over the corpses that were piled higher and higher, and the speed of rushing out became slower and slower.
The people behind the Toungu people were still crossing the moat in a steady stream.
A large number of Toungu people were blocked under the city wall and were ruthlessly harvested by the gunmen above.
Finally, the commander of the Toungoo people discovered this problem.
Instead of withdrawing his troops, he asked more people to rush inside.
But there is only such a big city gate hole in total.
How many people can go in at one time?
Not to mention that there are corpses piled up inside.
Therefore, the losses of the Toungoo people are increasing.
However, except for a few people of the Guards who were injured by arrows, everyone else is safe. thing.
Zhang Yibin lined up the Guards in three rows and rotated in three rows.
The constant firing of cannons also made the Guards very tired.
However, the Ming army had too few troops.
If they did not take advantage of this geographical advantage to conduct a dark night hedging, it would actually be a waste.
Not much chance of winning.
Finally, the accumulation of corpses made it impossible for the Taungu soldiers to crawl over, and the commander of Taungu knew that there was no other way, so he had to withdraw his troops.

The people of Toungoo retreated like a tide, and many of them were squeezed out of the moat by their companions and stuck in the water with sharp stakes.
Zhang Yibin said to Qin Yongchun with lingering fear: "These Dongxu people are so fierce.
No wonder they beat Nanzhang and Siam into such a state of confusion."
Qin Yongchun said: "If it weren't for the city gate hole that blocked them, I really don't know what would have happened today.
If they try this trick again during the day tomorrow, it will be even more difficult to deal with
