Chapter 618 Chapter 619 The Decisive Battle in Southern Henan ([-])

Shang Kexi gave an order, and six thousand soldiers rushed out from behind again.

This time the Qing army did not grind and chirp, but ran wildly at the moment the trumpets and drums sounded.

At this time, the artillery fire of the Wei army was mainly concentrated on the army that was attacking the fort. Under the bombardment of the artillery in the direction of Xiangcheng, the [-] Qing army rushed behind the shield car in the mud column hit by the shells.

The Wei army's artillery bombarded on the fortress, and the black iron balls screamed, smashing the Qing army's shield chariots to pieces, and countless Qing troops were flying with flesh and blood under the artillery fire.

Compared with the shield chariots of the Qing army, the special structure of the bastion allowed the soldiers of the Wei army to hide behind the shooting holes and shoot, causing huge damage to the Qing army. What harm did the law cause to the Wei army.

Although the shield chariots of the Qing army can also play a defensive role, every time the Wei army smashed one or two shield chariots, the Qing army behind them would be exposed. They all shook and fell to the ground.

After a while, the first batch of nearly [-] Qing troops suffered heavy casualties, and the attack could not be continued. However, it is gratifying that no gold was called. Some Qing soldiers wanted to retreat, but they were shot dead without hesitation by the bannermen who supervised the battle.

Just when the first team of the Qing army was exhausted, the second batch of Qing troops arrived at the city and gave the Qing army attacking the fort a booster.

More than 3000 Qing troops crossed the fragmented shield chariots, took over from the first wave of Qing troops, and stepped on ladders to attack the fort wall.

The three thousand archers of the Qing army lined up in nine rows behind the shield chariot, divided into three teams for every three rows. Throwing from one corner.

"Let go!" Cheng Xiaqing roared loudly.

Sun Maosheng, who was hiding behind the shield car and reloading the ammunition with shaking hands, heard a sound of strings, turned his head and saw the three rows of archers in front of him, they all let go of the bowstrings, and a thousand sharp arrows shot up from the bottom of the city with a "chuckle". The sky was dark, and the arrows were like locusts shooting towards the city, and the screams of the Wei army were heard immediately from above.

At this time, the first team of archers finished shooting, and the second team continued to shoot. Wei Jun at the top of the city felt that the sky suddenly rained arrows.

The guns of the Qing army under the city could only shoot directly at the city wall, but the Wei army was protected by the city wall, so it was difficult for the Qing army to shoot at the Wei army. Shang Kexi sent [-] archers to cover it with bows and arrows. Wei Jun posed a huge threat.

For a while, the protruding corner on the left side of the bastion was suppressed by the bows and arrows of the Qing army, and the firepower weakened a little.

The heavy arrows of the Qing army were thrown high into the sky, and the triangular-shaped arrows fell at an accelerated rate. The arrows were inserted into the city, and the tail of the arrow shaft trembled and made a "buzzing" sound.

The Qing army mainly attacked the west side of the bastion. The construction of the bastion was very particular. Each protruding corner had little effect on its own. effect.

Now the firepower of one corner is suppressed, and the coordination effect is weakened. After a while, the Qing army climbed the first fort wall and began to fight the Wei army in close quarters.

Sun Maosheng felt that the shells and firecrackers from the city were sparse, so he aimed the firecrackers at the top of the city tremblingly, fired randomly, and immediately squatted down again.

Zhao Mingchong was guarding Zuobao, and when he saw the police, he looked serious.

This big man with a square face stood on the second fort wall and looked down at the fort. The scene in front of him was an ant-like enemy attacking the fort, which was enough to make any battle-hardened person terrified.

"Quick, shoot and kill the enemy army on the fort! Use a nest of sharpeners, replace the artillery with shotguns, and suppress the Qing army's archers!" Zhao Mingzhong drew his sword and shouted angrily.

At this time, a Qing soldier jumped onto the first wall of the fort, and chopped down a Wei army gunner with a single knife. He was about to kill another Wei army who was hastily reloading, but a Wei army gunner on the second wall of the fort fell. Pointing the muzzle at him, at the moment when he raised his knife to cut, there was a "bang", knocking him backwards, hitting the fort wall with his body, and falling headfirst into the wall, being killed by the people in the deep trench. The stake was pierced, and the ditch was filled with blood.

Behind the shield chariot, the archers of the Qing army kept throwing arrows, so that the Wei army on the first wall could not raise their heads and could only hide with the shield.

At this time, the artillery on the adjacent corner pointed its muzzle at the Qing army's archers. The cannon roared, sweeping across the Qing army's bow array, and the shells tore the Qing army's body.

At this time, a red light flickered on the fort suddenly, and the soldiers of the Wei army swarmed and waited for the rockets to be shot out one after another. The rockets rushed down the city with their tail flames. The rhythm has become chaotic.

Shang Kexi, who was at the foot of the left wing mountain, saw this, not surprised but happy, and waved his hand, "6000 more people, archers suppress the three sharp-pointed enemy towers on the left!"

Although the Qing army was able to make great progress, seeing that the bow and arrow suppression had some effect, and seeing the Qing army ascending the fort, Shang Kexin saw hope, and a smile could not help leaking from his face.

There are only [-] defenders in the military fort. As long as the Qing army boards the military fort and fights for melee consumption, the Wei army will definitely not be able to consume him.

Now he still has 3000 people in his hands, and there are enough troops to continue the attack.

At this time, on the front of Xiangcheng, the Qing army that attacked the city had already suffered heavy losses.

Duoduo stationed his horse under the flag of the Dazhu, looked at the top of the city with binoculars, and saw that almost all the large equipment of the Qing army had been burned by the Wei army.

Under the dense bombardment and the bombardment of thunder, the soldiers of the Qing army were unable to take the risk of climbing. They hid behind the shield chariots and destroyed equipment, and used bows and firecrackers to shoot at the Wei army in the city.

"My lord, there are too many casualties, should I let the servants retreat and take a breath!" Zhang Tianlu was sweating, and more than 2000 of his subordinates had died.

Duoduo put down the binoculars, but said coldly: "No, we must restrain Xiangcheng, retreat without authorization, kill without mercy!"

After hearing this, many Qing generals all looked gloomy. Doduo didn't treat them as human beings, but used them all as cannon fodder.

Many people feel a little dissatisfied. It is worse than being in the Ming army.

Originally thought that the Qing army could kill the Yangtze River and destroy Nanjing, and the Jiangbei soldiers and horses surrendered in anticipation, thinking of avoiding the disaster of killing their lives, and at the same time they could continue to make a living in the new dynasty, but now that Nanjing is still there, their status has taken a turn for the worse. To become cannon fodder.

However, although they were dissatisfied, out of fear of the real Manchuria, they could only swallow their anger and follow orders.

At this time, Doduo also felt that the atmosphere was not right. He was silent for a while, and then said, "The order is still gratifying, Nikan, take down the two military forts as soon as possible. After the military forts are taken down and the soldiers and horses in Xiangcheng are restrained, we can Back off!"

After finishing speaking, Duoduo turned his head to look at one person, and ordered again: "Bo Yongfu, you go!"

On the north bank of the Ruhe River, on the vast battlefield surrounding Xiangcheng for dozens of miles, the shouts of the Qing army were louder and louder, and the sound of the Wei army's guns became more intensive.

Below the city, the Qing army nocked their arrows and raised their angles. With the sound of the strings, a rain of arrows rose below the city, dimming the sun.

On the city, the Wei army fired guns and cannons, and the two armies fought bloody battles near Xiangcheng.

Time passed slowly until the afternoon, and the corpses of the Qing army had filled the deep moat outside the bastion, and there were dead bodies everywhere under the city wall.

At this time, the superiority of the Qing army's strength began to emerge, and the defense of the Wei army gradually became dangerous.

The third place where the battle was fiercest was still the two military fortresses. It is still gratifying to invest [-] archers, and the arrows overwhelmingly suppressed the fortress, making it impossible for the defenders to raise their heads. The fort walls have almost fallen.

Fortunately, the gap between Wei Jun's second wall and the first wall is twenty steps, plus the width of the first wall and the deep moat, the distance is more than fifty steps.

The archers at this distance have no lethality. The rain of arrows thrown by the Qing army cannot reach the second wall, but the Wei army can stand on the second wall and shoot down the Qing army who climbed the first wall.

However, although the fortress is still in the hands of the Wei army, there are too many Qing soldiers. Once they clear the Wei army on the first wall regardless of casualties and send archers to the city, they will still pose a huge threat to the Wei army.

On the back of the city wall, in the command post of the Wei army, soldiers kept coming in and out, reporting the situation on the battlefield.

"My lord, the mountain on the right wing was captured by the Qing army, and two lieutenants were killed!"

Following the report of the soldiers, someone immediately pulled down the two small flags on the right wing.

"Your Majesty, Nikan cleared the hill on the right wing, and the strength of the Qing army attacking the right fort has increased to [-]. Yuan Shizhong may not be able to hold it!" Xu Heihu was a little anxious.

At this moment, Li Laiheng came in again, "Your Majesty, Shang Kexi attacked the first wall of the Zuo Fort. The situation of the Zuo Fort is in crisis!"

Li Dingguo saw that the situation of the Wei army on the sand table was no longer right. If either of the two forts on the left and right fell, the entire battle situation might be disrupted.

"It's time for the horse army to go out of the city and attack once. As long as they disrupt the attack of the Qing army and let the defenders in the fort stand firm, the Qing army will have to attack from the beginning. Today they will absolutely not be able to take the two forts!"

Gao Yihuan paced back and forth, then stopped abruptly, "Heihu, I leave it to you! Choose the Tiger Camp, attack!"
