In the cave of the city gate, the battalion soldiers were still struggling to hit the city gate with their shield carts, but they could hit the clouds, and the iron-clad gate was still not moving.
With the two "horns", the two shield carts that had been hitting the door finally broke up due to excessive force.
As soon as they saw that the shield cart was falling apart, the battalion soldiers who pushed the cart hurriedly moved the loose shield cart to the side, and the officer leading the team shouted to the outside, asking the people outside to quickly push two new shield carts in.
On the tower of the city gate, after finding that the Qing army below had another shield car to enter the cave of the city gate, the Taiping army above immediately fell down the stone, and the guards on both sides raised their guns to fight.
The Qing army, which was hit by stones in the city, also learned well, and they pushed into the hole in the city gate, while staring at the city with their eyes, and when they saw that there were stones on it, they didn't need anyone to speak, and they scattered around the outside with a shout.
The Taiping army smashed down several stones in a row, but no one was hit.
The stones prepared on the city have been almost exhausted, and the young men have not yet transported the new stones, and after smashing a few pieces that did not hit anyone, the Taiping army on the tower of the city gate had to temporarily stop throwing stones, and the guns of the guard battalion went to fight those Qing troops.
But the gun is no threat to the shield cart, only listen to the "pop" sound on it, and it can't be broken at all, but the gun is full of threat to the battalion soldiers who push the cart, so frightened that the battalion soldiers who push the shield cart put the huge shield on their heads, and then shrank their bodies inside one by one, only revealing the small half of their buttocks.
As a result, with the exception of a few unlucky unlucky ones who were hit by the guns, most of the Qing troops were able to safely rush into the city gates.
With a bang, the two shield carts that had been pushed forward with great effort slammed into the city gate again, shaking the city gate slightly, falling a cloud of dust, and the solid stones behind the door also shook, and several stones rolled aside.
"One, two, three" When the battalion saw the gate shaking, they became excited, shouted loudly, and once again pushed the shield cart towards the gate and slammed it hard.
The battalion soldiers who were climbing the city heard the shouts of the hole in the city gate, and the Taiping army at the head of the city had no way to take the hole in the city gate, and they couldn't help but regain their morale, and every time the shield cart hit the city gate, they all let out cheers, as if the city gate was about to be knocked open.
The cave in the city gate is under the feet, but there is no way to take the Qing army below, and the Taiping army defending the city can't help but get anxious, looking at the Qing army at the entrance of the city gate and scolding the mother.
The guns of the guards battalion who were transferred up still had guns, but the Qing troops killed and injured were pitiful.
No matter how strong the city gate is, no matter how solid the back is blocked, it can't help the Qing army to keep crashing, even if it is not knocked open, as long as it is knocked out of the big hole, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Big brother, you have to think of a way quickly, otherwise this city gate will be knocked open by them sooner or later" Ge Yi saw that it was not possible to go on like this, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he wanted to take some brothers who were not afraid of death to hang down from the rope to stop the Qing army, but his brother Ge Zheng grabbed him, looked down at the city, and shouted at several soldiers on the city tower: "Earthquake thunder, use earth thunder" Hearing Baihu's order, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly threw the "earth-shaking thunder" in their hands down.
The earth-shaking thunder made by the trapping camp is limited by the amount of gunpowder, the amount is not much, Guifeng Mountain used most of it in the first battle, and when the new club entered the city, it blew up a batch, and was busy reinforcing the city defense in the past two days, and did not dare to use the medicine of artillery, so the trapping camp did not make a new earth-shaking thunder, and now each battalion has only a dozen on hand.
Therefore, before the war, Zhou Shixiang repeatedly explained that the only remaining earth-shaking thunder in each battalion must be used in the time of life and death, and must not be used in advance.
In Ge Zheng's opinion, this bone eye is already life and death, if the city gate is knocked open, then everything will be over, there is no need to shake the sky and thunder at this moment, what are you waiting for After six or seven earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown down, the Qing army below had not yet reacted to what was thrown on the city, and some were surprised how the thieves threw down the firecrackers, and when they found that the firecrackers seemed to be wrong, there were several loud "booms", and countless iron nails flew towards them with the choking smell of gunpowder.
"My eyes, my eyes" "Ahh Under the blow of earth-shattering thunder, there was black smoke and wailing inside and outside the city gate.
"Tung oil" The blow worked, Ge Zheng shouted, smashed a can of tung oil for lighting the lamp from the hands of the two people, and then involuntarily pulled out a torch from the fire where the gold juice was boiling and threw it down.
Tung oil is the oil that ignites the fire, and when it touches the fire, it is full of broken wood under the hole of the city gate, and the flame rises immediately, and the Taiping army above throws the flammable quilt and firewood into the clouds, and soon the city gate is full of fire.
The fire was accompanied by black smoke, and the soldiers inside couldn't stop coughing, and they couldn't open their eyes.
The battalion soldiers who were burned by the fire screamed and rushed out and rolled on the ground.
There was fire, smoke, explosions and flying nails, and the green battalion that hit the city gate couldn't hold it anymore, and they all retreated, even the officers who led the team were afraid that their steps would be slow and become dead ghosts.
The collapse of the cave in the city gate soon led to a crowd, and the battalion soldiers who saw the officers running spread their legs even more, and the battalion soldiers on the escalators under the city wall did not even care about their companions on the ladder, and at once hundreds of people ran to the rear at the same time, making a mess.
Shang Zhixin, who was watching the battle, saw this, his face couldn't help but sink, and he was about to speak, but he saw Ban Zhifu looking towards the south as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and he couldn't help but look at it, but he was stunned there.
In the line of sight, the banner of the town domain representing the king of Pingnan was slowly approaching under the support of countless guards.
Seeing the collapse of the Qing army, Zhou Shixiang hurriedly shouted at the dozens of gunners on the left and right, and fiercely pointed at the battalion soldiers who were still on the ladder and shouted: "Fight, kill them" Hearing the shouting, the gunners hurriedly rushed over with firearms, and pointed to the ladders, and there was a bang, and more than 20 battalion soldiers were hit by the guns and fell from the ladders.
More than 100 archers from the Guards Battalion were also brought to the city and gathered together to shoot arrows at the battalion soldiers who had not yet been removed from the ladder.
In the chaos, Lin Shanzhi did not run with the rout, he ordered his own soldiers to stop the rout, and at the same time ordered the archers to suppress the city.
The Qing archers shot their bows and arrows towards the battlements with red eyes, and there were dozens of old archers in them, who shot very accurately, and after a little aim, they let go of the flag.
The sound of bowstrings sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows were nailed to a dozen battlements on the tower of the city gate.
The gunner, who was busy loading the medicine, was suddenly shot more than a dozen, and some of them fell to the city with a scream.
The archers and young men were also shot seven or eight, with serious or minor injuries, gritting their teeth and enduring being carried down the city in a hurry by their companions.
There were screams on and off the city, and dozens of battalions were hit.
The Taiping Army, who had suffered a loss, became smarter, no longer exposed the battlements, and squatted on the spot after the fight, and the green camp could not shoot them.
When the medicine was loaded, he lifted the gun up, squatted when it was fired, very cunning, and was so angry that the green camp archers in the city scolded his mother.
A gunner's hands and feet were a little slower, after the gun, he didn't squat down for the first time, and was shot by an arrow by a battalion soldier with superb archery skills under the city, and he heard the sound of breaking the sky, he was in a hurry, and he was about to flash to the side, but it was a step too slow, and the sharp arrow hit his right eye, and the whole person took a few steps back, and then stopped.
Raised his hand and touched it, and pulled it hard, and immediately blood flowed all over his face.
When I saw that the arrow was nailed to my right eyeball, my face changed at that time, and the person went crazy, waving the arrow nailed to his eyeball, and ran around the city gate building.
A few young men saw that he was mad, and hurried to hold him down, but before they could rush forward, an arrow came out of nowhere and flew towards his neck.
People, after holding up for more than ten seconds, they lost their breath.
The young men saw the death of this person, and they were so shocked that they didn't dare to move, or they tried a hundred households in the camp, and Song Erniu found that there were a few young people stupidly surrounding a corpse and did not move, so they were so anxious that they stepped forward and yelled at them, "I want to fucking find death, don't find a place to hide" The young men came to their senses and crawled to find a place to hide from the arrows.
Under the city tower, there is now thick smoke choking, and the smoke coming out of it smokes all the doorways.

The battalion soldiers in those doorways really couldn't stand it, they choked their lungs every time they breathed, their eyes couldn't open for a long time, and they saw that the covering archers had already run out, and they rushed out crying wolf.
In a moment, apart from more than a hundred corpses, there was not a single living person under the city gates.
Lin Shanzhi saw that he couldn't climb the city or hit the door, but he killed and injured so many people, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet there, and wanted to force him to rush again, but where did those battalion soldiers dare to lean on the city again, and the officers didn't want to send them to death again, so they pushed each other, and no one was willing to move.
Lin Shanzhi was helpless, and he didn't dare to force it, otherwise these battalion soldiers would really have red eyes and kill themselves in front of the battle and surrender to the Taiping army in the city, which would really be bad for eighteen lifetimes.
Fortunately, although these battalions did not dare to attack the city again, no one dared to rebel.
In the end, Lin Shanzhi could only send his own soldiers to hurry up to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to order the withdrawal of troops, and asked the remaining hundreds of archers to shoot at the city without stopping, picking up the Taiping army at the battlement, and venting the grievances and anger in his stomach.
The distance was too close, the artillery could not be hit, and the guns could not be beaten, and they did not dare to lead people out of the city to pursue, and Zhou Shixiang had no effective means to eliminate the remnants of the green battalion for a while.
The order could only be sent down, and the gunners were asked to continue firing, and the others hid behind the arrow board to avoid being shot by the arrows of the Qing army.
The battle situation has been obvious, the green battalion under the city has been unable to attack the city, but the Taiping army in the city does not dare to go out of the city, and the two sides are in a stalemate for a while.
The Qing army camp in the rear finally sounded the sound of collecting troops, Lin Shanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Hearing the order to withdraw the troops, the remaining battalion soldiers retreated one by one with their heads drooped as if they had been pardoned.
After a short silence, the Taiping army at the head of the city burst into cheers, "The Tartars have retreated, the Tartars have retreated" "We kept, we kept, we defended" “” The soldiers and the young men hugged each other and wept, jumping there excitedly.
After Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong heard the cheers on the city, they looked at each other in unison, and both smiled with joy on their faces.
As the cheers spread, the entire Xinhui City was boiling, and the remnants of Xinhui who were anxiously waiting for their fate were also excited, hugging their relatives in the house and laughing and crying excitedly The captives of the Han Army Banner and the Green Battalion did not know joy or sorrow, and only stared blankly at the Green Battalion fleeing under the city without saying a word.
The victory of the first battle, the morale of the army, the morale of the improvement, the blow to the Qing army are indescribable, this battle is also the first time that Zhou Shixiang led his troops to defend the city, can not help but make him excited, is about to order the capture camp to take advantage of the Qing army retreat to reorganize the defense, but saw the opposite Qing army camp set up a banner embroidered with four claws of the dragon. oshow7 t1706231537:
