Chapter 532 Liu Heizi is Dangerous
Under the city wall, archers of the Qing army threw arrow rain towards the top of the city. Arrows like locusts swished towards the top of the city.

The soldiers of the Qing army lined up in several rows, unfurled their bows and set their arrows together, and then pulled the bowstrings apart. The sharp arrows pointed obliquely at the sky, and they were all released together.

In an instant, the strings sounded, and nearly a thousand sharp arrows soared into the sky, covering the sun in the sky, making the sky dark. Countless sharp arrows fell like locusts, making it impossible for the defenders on the city to raise their heads. They could only squat by the city wall, and the soldiers who stood up to fight back were shot by arrows, and immediately fell to the top of the city screaming.

At this time, with the suppression of the Qing army's archers and firecrackers, the rain of arrows shot by the defenders into the city, as well as the firecrackers fired, gradually became scarce.

This made the Qing army who climbed the city feel the pressure relieved, and immediately scrambled to climb up the city.

For a time, under the city of Shangqiu, soldiers of the Qing army were scattered like ants, and the sound of killing went straight to the sky.

At this time, the Qing army's large-scale equipment had not yet arrived, but the climbing ladder had already reached the top of the city.A member of the Qing army always bit the back of the knife with his teeth, raised the shield above his head with one hand, grabbed the ladder with the other, and climbed up slowly, reaching halfway up the city wall within a few breaths.

At this moment, a defender on the city raised a big stone and was about to smash it down when an arrow hit his chest. The defender screamed and fell to the top of the city with the stone.

The stone and the corpse fell sideways and landed on the general's shield. When the general's hand was loosened, the shield fell from his hand, and the stone fell from him.

This shock made his back feel chilly, and he was taken aback for a moment, but then he speeded up, continued to climb, and approached the top of the city in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the defenders of the city stabbed with two long spears, and the Qing army always swung their sabers to block, but was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear within two hits, screamed and jumped down from the ladder, killing the one below. Ming Qing army.

The Qing army under the city wall gathered like ants, one after another ants attached themselves to the city.

Rolling stones and logs fell from the top of the city, and the Qing soldiers fell from the ladder one after another. The defenders, holding a piece of log, violently hit the iron hook on the wooden ladder, and the hook was knocked off after a few times. The defender of the pole immediately stepped forward, held the climbing ladder with the long pole, and pushed the ladder away from the city wall.

A string of Qing troops climbed the city ladder, screaming in horror and jumping off the ladder. The long ladder fell, and the Qing troops on the ground scattered like ants.

Although the besiegers were all green battalion soldiers, most of their predecessors were frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty, and their combat power was no worse than that of Liu Bu.

The siege had just begun, and Liu Heizi felt tremendous pressure.

"Quick! Artillery, suppress the archers in the city!" Seeing the Qing army ants attached to the city, Liu Heizi ordered urgently.

Only by suppressing the bows and arrows and firecrackers under the city can the defenders on the city calmly prevent the Qing army from ascending the city.

Not far from Liu Heizi, a Frang machine gunner quickly pulled out the iron bolt and took out the empty blunderbuss, while another gunner put a loaded blunderbuss into the barrel and fixed it with the iron bolt.

The gunners ignited the fuse, and the four gunners worked together to lift the gun mount, and at the same time pressed down the muzzle, aiming at the Qing army archers behind the shield car.

Almost at the moment when the gun muzzle was pressed down, the artillery made a muffled sound, and the gun body retreated sharply. White smoke rose from the muzzle and tail of the Francophone at the same time, and an iron bullet whizzed out, making a loud bang. , smashed a shield car, and sawdust splashed.

Without anyone's orders, the musketeers on the city wall stood up, raised their muskets and fired, and the projectiles rained down on the Qing army.

In an instant, there was a sound of gunfire, and many Qing soldiers who had been shot by sawdust were shot by bullets before they had time to get up.

A general of the Qing army who fell on the ground had just propped himself up with one hand when he was hit between the eyebrows by a projectile, and fell back with his eyes wide open.

Under the bombardment of the artillery, the archers of the Qing army hiding behind the shield car were hit continuously.

The musketeers and archers on the city were condescending, and gradually suppressed the archers below the city.

The green battalion soldiers ascending the city lost their cover, were beaten by rolling stones, boiled golden juice, and bows and arrows, and fell from the climbing ladder one after another, causing heavy casualties.

For a while, the Qing troops who had climbed the city fell one after another, the wounded soldiers howled miserably, and their morale began to drop a little.

Duoduo looked at the city in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. He didn't expect that the barbarians in the city were still a little level, causing a lot of casualties to the Qing army.

But siege would kill people, so Duoduo kept his face sullen and didn't speak, but he didn't intend to retreat either.

For him, this is just a warm-up. Without the Eight Banners soldiers, many tricks are useless, so he can play slowly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qing army pushed heavy equipment, and after losing nearly [-]%, they finally approached the city wall.

Liu Heizi saw a siege tower being pushed by the Qing army, rushing towards the city like a giant beast, and immediately shouted anxiously, "Siege tower! Don't let him approach!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Qing soldier jumped onto the top of the wall, hacked a guard to death, and then slashed at Liu Heizi.

Liu Heizi was furious, and kicked the Qing soldier against the city wall with one kick, and he fell downside down.

At this time, the gunners on the city had noticed the ascending tower, and two nearby cannons bombarded at the same time. The tower keeps going.

This kind of siege tower is also called a goose cart. The bottom is a cave house wrapped in iron or cowhide, like a small house, with four wheels underneath and a ladder on the top. The ladder is wrapped in wooden boards. The arrows are hard to hurt. Once the city wall was built, the soldiers would continue to climb the city wall.

Liu Heizi saw that the shells hadn't knocked the siege tower apart, so he hurriedly ran a few steps, picked up a long pole, held the siege tower against it, and kept the siege tower from approaching. on the tower.

The cupping pot collided with the tower body, and the fire oil splashed everywhere. The entire front of the tower body was instantly engulfed in flames.

After a while, the Qing soldiers hiding in the tower squeezed out one after another, and many of them were still burning with flames, wailing in pain.

Although cowhide was approved on the front of the siege tower, kerosene still flowed into it and ignited the tower.

On the other side, a siege tower had already set up the city wall. Just as the Qing soldiers rushed out from inside, the defenders first threw thunder and then smashed the cupping jars. The Qing soldiers in the tower immediately retreated again.

Seeing this, Duoduo's face finally became gloomy. It can be seen that Liu Shun's preparations are still very good, and it will be difficult to beat him for a while.

"My lord!" Seeing the heavy casualties, Bayan, the Qing general next to him, wanted to persuade Duoduo to retreat first.

But Duo waved his hand and stopped him, as if he knew what he was going to say.

Duoduo waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Let Kong Xigui come on!"

At this time, the city of Shangqiu was already screaming and killing, and the Qing army mobilized a large number of troops, but the defenders were also very sufficient, and they gradually gained defensive experience.

Liu Heizi couldn't help but relax, but suddenly found a strange army of soldiers and horses appeared under the city. Hundreds of Qing soldiers had a large square table on their heads, and a wet cotton cloth was spread on the square table. what.

Looking at these square tables and wet quilts, I don't know how many people the Tartars robbed.

Liu Heizi was a little puzzled, so he stretched out his head at the risk of looking down, and saw these square tables gathered at the base of the wall, and a lot of new soil and wall bricks protruded from under the tables.

Liu Heizi immediately yelled, "Fuck your mother, roll the stone and kill the wood, I'll smash these bastards to death~"
