Chapter 199: Fierce Battle in Jinhuazhong


Outside the west city, the Ming soldiers launched a surging attack, nearly 100,000 Ming troops, attacking on three sides, the elite exhausted, attacking the city guarded by more than 20,000 Qing troops.The Ming army attacked continuously for many days, but was repelled by the Qing army, and the morale of the Ming army was still like a rainbow when they saw the Ming army coming from the field, which made the Qing army feel puzzled.After a few days of fighting, it was still called so happy, and the Ming army was afraid that there was a hole in the brain.At the head of the city, the archers of the Qing army and the bird gunners aimed at the rushing Ming army, and the group of stone throwers behind the city wall were waiting for the general order.The artillery roared, splashing the fluffy dirt, but the solid bullets did not hurt the charging men and horses, and were far less effective than bombarding the city walls and the infantry in formation.The shouts of the Ming army were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers pushed the shield cart forward, and the soldiers carrying the ladder to the city had already run to the front.The generals of the Qing army on the city wall suddenly gave an order, and the sound of breaking the air exploded, and countless arrows and projectiles roared and hit.The arrows were shot on the ladder and shield, making a trembling sound, and the soldiers carrying the ladder to the city, without shelter, fell on the way to charge, and the Ming soldiers braved the rain of arrows to pounce on the city with all their might."

Fried buns!"

The officers reminded their soldiers loudly.I saw that in the rain of arrows in the sky, the city wall suddenly rose, and several black dots drew an arc over the city head, and quickly smashed down.There was a loud "boom", the smoke and dust were filled, the air waves were rolling, and the running soldiers, there were several people immediately, and they were directly blown into the sky.The Qing army at the head of the city used a rain of arrows and explosive bags to cover the city, and the Ming soldiers rushed through the dead and entered the dead corners under the city wall, and the ladders were immediately erected.A ladder was set up at the head of the city, and the soldiers first lifted it high, and then hooked the wall with an iron hook at the top, so that the defenders could not knock it down."

Hurry up!"

The ladder was erected, and the officer immediately let out a loud roar.The Ming soldiers under the city raised their shields and climbed up quickly, and the stones at the head of the city fell like rain.Jinhua was trapped for half a year, the materials in the city were exhausted, the wood was used for cooking, the stones were almost smashed, and the defensive equipment that the Qing army could use was very limited.Under the corners of the city walls of the east and west cities, the Ming soldiers arrived one after another, entered the city head to shoot the Ming army in the dead corner, erected the equipment, and under the city of Jinhua, the siege soldiers and horses were all over like ants.When the eastern and western cities fell into a fierce battle, the Ming soldiers outside the southern city pushed the shield cart and advanced towards the city."

Lord Belle, please go down to the city!"

Tan Tai saw that the attack was coming, and he was busy with Bolodao.Bolo said in a deep voice: "The tunnel must be found as soon as possible!"

”Tan Tai nodded, "The minions have been monitored for twelve hours at any time, and the soldiers have already dug out to find the tunnel!"

”When Bolo heard this, he glanced at the Ming army outside the city, and he was not alarmed, but said seriously, "The more fierce the attack of the thief army, the more anxious they are, hold on, and the victory will belong to the Qing Dynasty!"

”In the city, in a cave**, the Qing soldiers were passing out baskets of dirt and piling up a large pile in the open space.The Qing army inside, lighting oil lamps, digging desperately with shovels and shovels, a soldier in front of him, digging down with a shovel, encountered a ball of hard objects, the soldier hurriedly picked up the soil with his hands, revealing a black thing."

Dig it up!"

The soldier hurriedly exclaimed.An officer squeezed forward, took a closer look, and suddenly his face was full of horror, "Not good!

It's a coffin!

”The officer was shocked and sat in the tunnel, and at this moment, there was a shocking bang, and the flames in the tunnel instantly engulfed all the Qing troops inside.Below the southern city, there were suddenly two loud muffled sounds, and the entire ground rose high, and then fell back heavily, and the two sections of the city wall collapsed violently, raising billowing dust, obscuring the view.The city wall of Jinhua, in the violent explosion, collapsed in an instant, a city wall nearly five zhang wide, and a city wall nearly three zhang wide all collapsed, hundreds of Qing soldiers on it, all killed, and those who did not die also fell in the ruins and rolled and wailed.The process was only in an instant, a hundred times more terrible than an earthquake, the collapse was a mess, and the surviving soldiers were stunned.Bolo, who was just about to go down to the city, was blown away by the explosion, no one was killed, but his leg was smashed by the raging bricks, most of the surrounding soldiers died, and Tan Tai was also bleeding.Outside the city wall, the charging Ming army, seeing this, suddenly let out a roar, Li Yuanyin waved his spear and pointed angrily, and the Ming soldiers rushed to the collapsed place.Under the banner of the Ming Army, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but praise when he saw the city wall collapse, "Okay!

”Li Chengdong's face showed joy, Xiao Zhao was still very reliable, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to lead the guards into the city and sword Bolo!"

”Fang Shiyan, who was next to Fang Guoan, also clenched his fists, "Your Highness, the minister is also willing to go!"

”Zhu Yihai said excitedly: "Okay, it's lonely!"

Beat the drums, today will break Jinhua!

”The cheers of the Ming army outside the city wall, as well as the earth-shattering shouts of killing, made Bolo, who was helped up by his own soldiers, wake up instantly, he looked at the collapsed city wall, and suddenly shouted, "Tan Tai, quickly let the soldiers and horses plug the gap!"

”Tan Tai got up, covering his forehead with one hand, while directing the army to release arrows, and at the same time transferring troops to plug the gap.Jinhua City is not large, the troops in the city are sufficient, and Tan Tai has sufficient reserve troops.Behind the city wall, there were originally more than 3,000 people, who were ready to climb the city wall to support when they fought fiercely on the city, but now the city is no longer needed, and they rushed directly to the gap to block the Ming army from entering the city.Two gaps, one five zhang wide, and the other only collapsed about three zhang because of the dew, but for the city defense, it has formed a deadly threat.The soldiers of the Qing army ran forward, the armor on their bodies rattled, and the soldiers rushed into the smoke of gunpowder, forming a wall, preparing to resist the Ming army.The iron artillery array of the Ming army suddenly opened fire, and one by one the explosive bags were thrown high by the iron stab, like mortar shells, jumping over the city, hanging behind the city wall, and the north side of the collapsed."

Boom, boom!"

The bombs fell, and hundreds of Qing troops crowded around the collapse, preparing to block the Ming army, felt an earth-shattering force attack, and almost at the same moment, their bodies were thrown away, falling like autumn leaves.The power of black powder is not great, but the effect of exploding in a dense crowd is still quite terrifying.The soldiers beside Bolo were busy protecting him with their bodies, and the stones and dust that had been blown up to the sky crackled and fell like rain and smashed on them.A miserable white severed hand fell in front of Bolo's eyes, and the clothes on his arm were still emitting green smoke, making Bolo's face pale.At the moment when the iron artillery fired, more than 10,000 Ming troops roared angrily, jumping over the artillery array filled with gunpowder, and the forward Ming army had rushed into the smoke and dust of the collapse, fighting with the remaining Qing army.
