Chapter 241: Deadly Fireworks


In this way, the two sides persisted for more than half an hour.

The city was covered with the corpses of Ming people, and there were very few Ming people alive.

The rolling logs and stones on the city consumed most of them, and most of the young and strong men on the city were killed.

The people of Ming Dynasty almost shed all their blood.

The crying and noise in the city gradually stopped.

Up to this point, almost all the blood flowing up and down the city was Akito's blood, and Akito's life was consumed.

Seeing all this misery, the soldiers of the Polu Army had their eyes red.

The pain of slaughtering their fellow tribesmen with their own hands made them crazy.

They couldn't wait to build slaves to attack the city and vent their anger.

Of course, Jiannu did not disappoint the soldiers of the Polu Army.

The Mongolian soldiers and Jiannujia soldiers from the rear rushed to the city, stepped on the corpses of Han people, erected ladders, and began to attack the city.

At this time, the fire gunners in the city cheered up and fired at Jiannu with all their strength, even ignoring the rain of arrows.

The screams of the arrows were immediately echoed by the roar of the fire guns from time to time, and there were constant casualties on both sides. land.

Zhuozhou Qingzhuang tried his best to throw the remaining rolling logs and rocks down the city, causing heavy casualties to the slave soldiers who climbed the city.

However, the first ones to climb the city were the Mongols, so the casualties among the slaves were not serious.

Next, the stones and wood began to become sparse.

There was no way.

There were only so many rolling logs and stones stored in Zhuozhou.

The entry of Jiannu into the pass was extremely unexpected.

The cities in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty were not ready for war.

This was why many cities were destroyed at once.

The reason behind.

At this time, the Jiannu brigade that had been hiding in the rear finally moved.

More than two thousand people began to swarm up the stairs.

At the same time, the archers tried their best to help them with crazy shooting, completely ignoring their sore and numb arms.

After all, the number of archers was large, and they occupied the top spot in the confrontation with the fire gunmen.

As the casualties of the fire gunmen increased and the problem of clearing the barrels of the fire gun was interrupted, the fire gun attack was interrupted.

Now the fire gunmen are just scattered counterattacks.

At this time, even a fool can see that Jiannu has occupied the upper peak, and now they can only count on fighting for the top of the city.

After all, if Jiannu's armored soldiers ascend to the top of the city, the archers in the rear formation will not be able to fire arrows.

At that time, we watched the fight between the Jiannu armored soldiers and the defenders.

An Yongde, Silao and others were now pale-faced.

Of course they knew that the final decisive battle was coming, but they were extremely unfavorable to the defenders.

Zhuozhou City is nine miles in circumference, and each city wall represents more than two miles.

Now that all the elite soldiers on the north city have been lost, there are only the soldiers of the Polu army guarding the front, and there is no backup.

Although these soldiers are powerful, they can only hold on for a while.

Once there are serious casualties, there is no place to make up for it, and the only thing that can happen is a massive collapse.

After all, An Yongde was born in the army and still had some courage.

He led more than a hundred of his close servants to rush forward to prepare for a fight with Jian Nu.

Meanwhile, Silao, Francisco and other Portuguese people also went out in full armor.

They all fought hard.

Look, When they saw the murderous atrocities committed by the slaves, they had no idea of ​​surrender.

Rather than fall into a miserable situation, they would rather die in battle with dignity.

Equally pessimistic at this time was the prefect Li Hengli who was watching the battle from the highest point of the Drum Tower.

Lord Li, who wanted to watch the enemy but did not dare to get too close to Jiannu, thought he had chosen a good location.

The Drum Tower was a place where he could watch the enemy but was far enough away from the bloody scenes.

However, after going to the Drum Tower, Li Heng regretted this.

What he saw was that the slaves were attacking the city in three places, especially the Beicheng and Xicheng were the most violent.

Both of them drove the Ming people to attack the city.

The battle was extremely tragic from the beginning.

Azige in the east city was to contain the Ming army and prevent the Ming army in the east city from supporting the north and west cities.

This made Li Lu, the defender of the east city, so angry that there was no war.

They could not allocate troops to support the other two cities, so they could only wait for the results of the battle in the other two cities.

On the Drum Tower, Li Heng was worried about Beicheng for a while, and anxious for Xicheng for a while, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Shivering at the height of the Drum Tower in winter, I still can't relax and return to the mansion.

This is a time of life and death, and I can't care about anything else.

When he saw that the Beicheng and Xicheng defenders' rolling logs and stones were almost exhausted at the same time, Li Heng had a premonition that something was wrong, according to his thoughts.

Rolling logs and rolling stones is the last hope for defending the city.

It would be worrying if the Ming soldiers fought against the slaves.

What's more, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.

There is no doubt that Zhuozhou will fall.

The outcome was decided.

Li Heng stopped sweating now, and had some strength in his hands and feet.

He asked his servants to help him downstairs.

He wanted to return to the mansion, but at worst he would commit suicide and die for his country.

He still had the courage to do so.

We must not fall into the hands of Jian Nu and live a life worse than death.

Many people on the street looked around anxiously and asked.

The noise of Zhuozhou's attack and defense was loud.

The outcome was related to their lives and fortunes.

The reputation of slave-building was far-reaching, so how could they not be anxious.

Li Heng looked at these people and sighed, wondering how many people would survive after the city fell.

When Li Heng, a Ming official, desperately returned to his mansion to wait for death behind closed doors, the spearmen of the Polu Army in the North City were waving their spears to fight with the Mongolian soldiers and Jiannujia soldiers who started to attack the city.

One side wanted to defend the city, and the other The idea was to capture the city in one go and massacre the city to vent their anger.

The number of pikemen is extremely insufficient, and many people were killed and injured in previous battles.

Now there are only more than 400 pikemen in Beicheng, and they can only barely seal the city.

Fortunately, Zhao Lie's guards and An Yongde's guards added more than 300 people.

The spearmen were responsible for blocking the city.

Once the Jiannu armor soldiers broke through, the subsequent fighting would be left to the guards.

After all, they could become the general's personal guards.

Valor is essential.

The Jiannu armored soldiers wearing cotton armor and iron armor moved up the stairs aggressively.

As they approached the city, they were attacked wildly by the spearmen of the Polu Army.

As time went by, two city defenses were breached.

In one place, nearly ten armored soldiers who rushed in were surrounded and killed by dozens of An Yongde guards.

In another place, ten armored soldiers killed spearmen and rushed to the top of the city, but were immediately killed by Yu Dabao.

He led dozens of guards to intercept and fight.

There was a loud noise, and a long-handled sword was knocked away by Yu Dabao's iron gun.

The short and stocky Jiannu armored soldier who lost the sword took two steps back.

At this time, his arms were numb and the tiger's mouth was bursting.

He just wanted to retreat and get out of the way of the leader.

Ming Dynasty warrior.

It's just not that easy.

Two spears on the side stabbed Jiannu like poisonous dragons.

The Jiannu armored soldiers tried their best to dodge one spear, but the other spear couldn't avoid anything.

The spear broke through The armored soldier's breastplate penetrated into Jiannu's body, and Jiannu's armored soldier let out a long howl and struggled on the ground slumped.

Yu Dabao opened his iron rod and knocked away several Jiannu's weapons one after another.

The other guards around him took advantage of the situation and succeeded in sneak attacks one after another.

Soon all the ten armored soldiers who came to the city were killed, and their bodies were thrown down the city.

On the other side, An Yongde's guards were still fighting with Jiannu's armored soldiers.

At this moment, a series of roaring sounds came from the west of the city.

The thunder-like sound caused the two sides in the fierce battle to stop for a moment involuntarily.

Damn, I didn’t expect Chengxi to explode first.

Zhao Lie, who had been waiting for Jiannu to accumulate more people under the city, cursed, thinking that he couldn't bear it when he came to the west of the city, so don't wait any longer.

Zhao Lie raised his hand, and the trumpeter beside him blew a long sound.

The low copper horn and the long and sharp sound of the suona sounded, and a group of gunmen and gunners filed out, evenly appearing on the north wall, holding a tightly tied cloth bag in each hand, and at the same time lighting the match rope on the bag.

Throw the cloth bag down the city.

The Jiannu armored soldiers who were waiting on the ladder and below the city watched helplessly as more than a hundred smoking packages rolled down from the sky.

Everyone knew that something was very bad.

What on earth was this?

Based on their intuition, they had a hunch that it was not a good thing.

Boom boom boom, in the continuous roar, some of the explosive packs exploded in the crowd below the city, and some exploded close to the city.

The small iron pieces inside flew everywhere, but they did little harm to the armored slaves.

The medicine bags are made of black powder and are not very powerful.

However, the shock wave generated by the explosion of the explosive pack can still destroy objects within four or five steps, sending many Jiannu flying out of the impact.

Some Jiannu even got on the earth plane, their bodies jumped more than ten feet, and then fell, inside His internal organs were already completely damaged.

Continuous explosions under Zhuozhou North City caused half of the soldiers under Jiannu City to fall to death.

As the ladder shattered, the armored soldiers howled and fell several feet in the air.

They fell to the ground with broken bones and tendons.

Of course there were many corpses on the ground.

There were also some lucky people who had a cushion after falling, but suffered bruises and swollen faces without any casualties.

After Fang Dongmen and Lu You waited for the Han army to drive away the Han people, they were given the job of helping the Jurchen armored soldiers to build ladders.

When the gunpowder package flew down, a package fell about a foot away to the right of the two people.

Lu You had a premonition that this was not a good thing, so he hurriedly picked up an iron shield to protect the two people.

After a bang, the two people had iron shields.

Shield buffer.

He was hit by the air wave and fell out.

As for the iron shield, it was already deformed.

Huang Taiji was watching the progress of the battle from the rear.

Seeing the armored soldiers starting to enter the city, he believed that it was only a matter of time before they entered the city.

After all, the first weapon to defend the city, rolling logs and stones, had disappeared.

The Ming army relied solely on blood and bravery.

The fight won't last long.

He secretly felt cruel and did not seal his sword for three days after entering the city.

The Ming army in Zhuozhou ruined his major event, causing him to lose many Jia soldiers and his brother Lao Liu, so that the attack on the Ming capital had to be terminated, which made him hate it.

It was deep to the bone that if the Ming Army general was captured alive, he would definitely make this Nikan regret coming to this world.

The roar in the west of the city made Huang Taiji extremely surprised.

Inexplicably, he thought that someone would report the battle situation in the west city.

At this moment, as many packages fell to the ground and exploded, Huang Taiji finally understood what was going on in the west city.

He saw that most of the soldiers were engulfed by the fire and smoke.

The armored soldiers rising in mid-air and falling down made him feel great pain.

They were all Bajala and armored soldiers who had experienced many battles and were the backbone of the Jurchen army.

They died in vain like this.

Under Zhuozhou City.

Huang Taiji hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The gongs of the withdrawal sounded.

The soldiers who were knocked upside down by the explosive packs returned in embarrassment.

At this time, some scattered medicine packs were thrown down from the city, and then Wreaking havoc under the city, the chaotic city was dug up again, leaving the city in a mess.

Flags, ladders, soldiers' armor, and human remains were scattered everywhere.

Huang Taiji felt very dangerous.

If he hesitated for a moment, more armor soldiers might die on the spot.

He watched many armor soldiers withdraw from the city and flee back quickly.

Some were obviously injured and started walking.

He was walking crookedly and couldn't even walk normally.

At this time, the Ming army's gunmen on the city began to wreak havoc again.

A volley of guns knocked down the Jiannu soldiers who had not had time to retreat.

As long as a Jiannu fell to the ground, bursts of cheers erupted from the city.

This was a victory.

Cheering is also a sign of victory for the victors.

Lu You's arms were numb from the shock of the air wave, and his chest and abdomen hurt.

He was supported by Fang Dongmen as he walked backwards and crawled.

During this period, the two of them narrowly avoided the bombardment of fire cannons and rolled and crawled.

After retreating for more than half a mile, he lay on the ground and gasped, thankful that he had escaped.

Huang Taiji looked at everything in front of him with a livid face.

He was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

He was about to collapse.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

The Dajin Army was defeated and returned.

Huang Taiji could only curse continuously in his heart.

What else could he do?

what to do.

He quickly thought about whether he could continue to attack the city and take a look at everything under the city.

He quickly gave up the idea.

He didn't know how many such medicine packs the Ming army had.

If there were still a lot, all the troops would be sent up.

Even if the city is captured, there probably won't be many people left
