Outside the city wall, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Ming Army lined up in formation.From time to time, the officers of various departments and bureaus cheered up their subordinates, explained the essentials of the siege, and assigned combat tasks."
The handsome man is here!"
In the middle of the military formation, someone suddenly shouted loudly.At this time, Zhao Ming was wearing armor, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, the helmet was flaming red, riding a miscellaneous horse, surrounded by the generals of Donghai Town, inspecting the soldiers."
Dashuai!"
Everywhere they passed, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the various formations stopped talking, stood up straight, saluted with their eyes, and said "Guogong" or "Dashuai".Zhao Ming urged the horse to run between the various phalanxes, raising the horsewhip from time to time to signal, inspiring morale, and by the time he finished inspecting the various armies, the sky had already darkened.At this time, Zhao Ming returned to the Chinese army, and the Ming army's artillery array began to continue to roar.In the dark night, the Ming soldiers held torches, and the torches were like a galaxy.The artillery of the Ming army flickered, and a ball of flame erupted from time to time in the darkness, making a rumbling roar.Wang Xianlema stood in front of the military formation, staring at the city in the distance, and the nearly Wanming army behind him was silent, waiting for the order to attack.At the head of the city, Qing soldiers hid behind the battlements, or crouched down and dragged the heavy wounded to move with difficulty, and the walls were littered with rubble and corpses.At this time, another round of artillery rang out, and a section of the eastern city wall rumbled down, and thick dust rose into the air, completely submerging that section of the city wall.After many days of shelling, the artillery of the Ming army kept pounding a section of the city wall, and finally caused a large section of the city wall to collapse.At this time, Wang Chaoxian, who was standing in front of the formation, suddenly pulled out his war knife, swung it forward violently, and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
”As soon as the military order was given, the Ming soldiers immediately flocked to Ningbo City like a flood.The Ming soldiers and soldiers were in front of the shield car, the soldiers were holding the equipment, running wildly, and the torches in the field moved forward, the momentum was huge and amazing, and the high morale made the defenders frightened.When Ma Degong saw the Ming army attacking the city, he suddenly roared, "Defense!"
”The two armies are fighting, either you die or I die, especially for people like Ma Degong, who has no way out, he betrayed Emperor Anzong of the Ming Dynasty, whoever the Ming army let go, he will not let him go, he can only fight with Zhao Ming.At the top of the city, the Qing artillery roared, the cannonballs whistled out, and the musketeers and archers searched for targets, preparing to attack the Ming soldiers approaching the city wall and destroy the siege equipment of the Ming army.The Ming army continued to bombard, a section of the city wall in the east city, and the Qing army was prepared for the collapse of the city wall.Ma Degong saw that the artillery of the Qing army was lined up on the side of the wall, the archers were lined up, and the soldiers with spears, swords and shields on the city wall were waiting for them, and he saw the dense Qing army, climbing up from the back of the collapse, occupying a high place, with a sneer on his face.At this time, the Ming army's shouting and killing was getting closer and closer, and the shield car entered the firing range, approaching the city wall, and immediately waved his knife and roared, "Release!"
”"Cannonballs!"
The Ming officer roared loudly, reminding his subordinates.I saw the head of Ningbo City, the cannon flame flickered, the shell drew a red line, roared and smashed on the ground, splashed the fluffy soil, the shell hit the shield car, and suddenly the sawdust splashed, smashing several people.The Ming soldiers continued to charge, the shield car quickly stopped fifty steps outside the city wall, and the Ming musketeers who were hiding behind, in the sound of the order, raised their muskets in unison, and a thousand muskets were aimed at the city, and then "bang bang bang" sprayed countless gun flames, projectiles splashed to the city, and the wall battlements were shattered, and the rubble was splashed, and the Qing army archers on the side of the city wall fell to the ground with a wail, screaming and falling down the city.The flintlock musketeers of the Ming army, taking advantage of the range and rate of fire of the musket, the first team finished shooting, the second team stepped forward, and the third team prepared to suppress the Qing army at the head of the city.At this time, a trumpet sounded, and nearly a thousand Ming army killer teams carried long ladders and trench bridges, rushed out of the shield wall, and rushed directly to the gap.The Qing army on the city wall was suppressed by the Ming army's muskets, and the soldiers did not dare to poke their heads out, squatting behind the wall battlements to avoid musket fire, only sporadic arrows and muskets were fired.The Ming soldiers who rushed to the front, arrived at the moat, after the collapse of the city wall, the bricks and soil rolled into the river, filling the moat in half, making the wide moat narrow, the Ming army put down the long ladder, paved with a layer of wooden planks, and the sword and shield stepped on the planks and rushed into the smoke and dust of the collapse.At this time, behind the city wall, there were Qing army archers on both sides of the collapse, and finally reacted, the Qing army behind the city wall bent the bow and threw it, and the Qing army on both sides aimed directly at the killing, and countless rockets shot rapidly, like a rain of fire from the sky, and the scene was spectacular.The Ming soldiers charged with shields, but some people were still hit by rockets, and they kept falling on the road or rolling down the moat.The muskets of the Ming army were able to suppress the archers who were directly aiming and shooting on the side of the city wall, and the Qing archers fell into the city one after another, not daring to show their heads, but they had no way to take the Qing army that was thrown behind the city wall."
Keep rushing!
Thunder Thrower!
”The dynasty first waved his sword and pointed angrily, and another thousand Ming troops joined the charge.At this time, the forward Ming army, along the collapsed messy stones and mounds to climb the city wall, they groped all the way, and finally climbed to the top of the slope, but just poked their heads out, and saw the situation at the top of the slope, they were stabbed by sharp spears, and the Ming soldiers who were the first to climb the top of the slope were directly stabbed to death, screaming and falling down the slope.The Ming soldiers in the back immediately waved their knives to fight back, but found that the top of the slope was crowded with dense Qing troops, and at the same time, they also had to face the attack of the Qing army on both sides, which was equivalent to being attacked by the enemy on three sides.For a time, the Ming soldiers continued to roll down the slope, which made the horse happy.At this moment, the second thousand-strong team of the Ming army rushed to the gap, and the mine-throwers rushed to the bottom of the city, immediately took out the fire fold, and then lit the grenades, and threw them towards the dense crowd of Qing troops on both sides of the collapse and on the back.Ma Degong stood on the side of the collapse near the city gate, and was waving his sword and pointing angrily, "Shoot the arrow!"
”Dense rockets, whizzing towards the Ming army, the arrows inserted in the ground on the tail swaying, the climbing Ming army completely suppressed, and at this moment, a few flashing sparkling grenades, drawing an arc, fell on the city wall, suddenly "boom" a loud sound, burst out of a cloud of white light, standing on the wall to shoot arrows of the Qing army, was directly blown away, many people were also lifted off the city wall by the air waves.Ma Degong was swept by the waves and sat on the ground, his face was full of horror, and he roared urgently: "It's a grenade, quickly fill the vacancy and block them!"
”At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army, with a roar of rage, took the opportunity to rush up the dirt slope, jumped on the city walls on both sides, and the soldiers on both sides stabbed with spears, slashed with swords, and kept screaming and falling down.For a time, the front and back sides of the slope were densely packed with figures climbing upward, and the two sergeants fought endlessly at the collapse site, and the soldiers on both sides continued to fall down the slope.At this time, when the collapse fell into a fierce battle, at the confluence of the Yinshui River and the Ningbo moat, nearly 100 small boats drove into the moat under the cover of night and the shouting of Dongcheng.Guo Zhong's eyes were like torches, staring at the city wall in the distance, pointing to one place, and shouting in a low voice, "There is the water gate in front, the fire boat is on fire, rush me!"
