Chapter 988 Runan Falls
After inspecting the army formation, Gao Yihuan rode his horse back to the main formation and boarded the watch cart to watch the battle. Huang Bingzhong immediately stood in the middle army. Seeing that the time had come, he drew out his saber and pointed forward, "Siege the city!"

The generals and soldiers of the Wei army standing outside the west city shook the whole field with their shouts. When the military order was issued, it opened the gate like a dam, and the army rushed towards Runan city like a flood.

On the city, the soldiers of the Ming army saw the high morale of the soldiers of the Wei army, and they couldn't help but feel a little timid in their hearts. However, when the two armies clash, either you die or I die. I'm afraid it's useless. If you don't kill him, he will kill you. Ming army The gunner brought the torch close to the fuse, and the cannon fired first.

"Bang bang bang..." The artillery at the top of the city roared, puffs of smoke rose up, and the shells whizzed out, shooting down the city, splashing a pile of mud among the Wei army formation.

On the Wei army's red cannon formation, the officer waved the flag, and the cannons retreated one after another amidst the roar, and the shells roared and smashed towards the top of the city, immediately breaking the bricks and stones, causing a burst of exclamation.

Under the mutual attack of artillery from both sides, the soldiers of the Wei army pushed the shield chariot and carried the long ladder, and began to charge forward. The stones and thunder, the soldiers of the Wei army were blown away in the explosion, but this did not damage the bravery of the soldiers of the Wei army at all.

When the army was attacking wildly and attracting firepower from the top of the city, Yuan Shizhong drew out his knife and pointed forward, "Brothers, go up!"

Six thousand soldiers of the Wei army entered the zigzag ditch leading directly to the city. The soldiers carried a bag of soil and walked along the ditch to the mound directly below the city. Throwing between the city walls made the mounds keep approaching the city walls, and finally piled up a slope directly to the city.

Intensive gunfire and cannon flames flashed on the city wall. The soldiers of the Ming army fired continuously, suppressing the soldiers of the Wei army to pile up soil.

Chen Mingyu stood at the top of the city, his sight was obscured by the mound of earth, and he couldn't see behind the mound. The soldiers of the Wei army spread all over the slope like ants, and he saw the earth bags being thrown down the city one by one, and in the trenches in the distance, there were crowds of people. to transport soil below the mound.

At this time, most of the firearms and arrows of the defenders on the city hit the front of the mound, and could not hit the Wei army on the slope. Chen Mingyu immediately shouted, "The trebuchet lobbed the Wei thief."

Behind the city wall, the stone throwing machines of the Ming army swayed their poles in unison, and one after another black objects rose into the air. The soldiers of the Wei army who were burying their heads in carrying the earth bags raised their heads, and the black shocking thunder quickly appeared in their eyes. Zooming in, the officer immediately exclaimed, "Get down!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Behind the mound, groups of dazzling white light exploded, and the violent wind and air waves instantly threw the bodies of the soldiers of the Wei army into the air. Half of the soldiers of the Wei army behind the slope were killed and injured.

The soldiers of the Wei army who were transporting earth and rocks in the trench squatted down in a hurry. The explosion exploded on the ground.

The soldiers transporting the earth walked through the trenches to the bottom of the city without showing their heads. Unless the thunder fell into the trenches, the damage would not be serious, but the soldiers who went out of the trenches and piled soil on the slope suffered heavy casualties.

Yuan Shizhong shook the dirt on his body. Seeing that nearly half of the soldiers were killed and injured by the bomb, the muscles on his face twitched, and he roared, "Continue filling!"

The medical soldiers of the Wei army rushed out of the trench and dragged the injured soldiers back. The Wei army in the trench continued to rush up the slope and piled up the soil bags against the city wall. Bags of earth were passed to the ground for carrying by soldiers behind the ramp.

Behind the city wall, the stone-throwing machine of the Ming army continued to shake the throwing pole. The musketeers raised their guns and fired in salvo. The soldiers of the Wei army who threw earthbags at the top of the slope fell down like mowing grass. At the foot of the city wall.

On other parts of the city wall, the Wei army erected climbing ladders, and the rolling wooden stones at the top of the city fell like hailstones. A climbing tower was paralyzed by artillery before it approached the city wall. The barbarian cannons fired directly and the mortars lobbed, overturning the Ming army's artillery emplacements, and the soldiers' bodies were blown up and fell heavily to the city.

The entire section of the city wall, where the fighting was most intense, was still near the mound in the middle.

On both sides of the mound, the soldiers of the Wei Army dug trenches and entered thirty steps below the city, and the musketeers of the Wei Army stood in the trenches and shot at the top of the city.

The musketeers of the Ming army at the top of the city were condescending and fired at the Wei army. In the rising smoke, both sides fired together, the flames flickered, and the projectiles intertwined. The battle was extremely fierce.

During the fierce shooting on both sides, on the mound in the middle, soldiers of the Wei army braved the explosion and built the mound close to the city wall. The corpses of the soldiers of the Wei army who were shot were mixed in layers of soil bags, revealing blood stains His face and pale arms are shocking.

At this time, as the mound approached the city wall, in addition to the artillery stone machine behind the city, the hands of the soldiers at the top of the city could also throw thunder directly behind the mound, and the soldiers of the Wei army suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Yuan Shizhong roared loudly, "Is the mortar not in place yet?"

At this moment, there was a loud noise from the ditch on the side of the mound, and a black projectile rose into the air, drew an arc, and landed on the top of the city.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, a mass of white light burst from the top of the city, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Behind the slope, the bombardiers of the Wei Army and the head of the city threw shocking thunder at each other. The two sides were separated by a short distance, and the losses were very heavy.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a flowering bomb landed behind the city. The explosion instantly swept away everything within more than ten meters around. The stone hit, the sawdust flew, and the wooden frame broke and lost its use.

As the Wei army fired its mortars, the Ming army at the top of the city was gradually suppressed. A shell fell on the top of the city, and the explosion splashed countless gravel. The soldiers of the Ming army immediately raised their shields to protect Chen Mingyu.

"General!" A Ming general ran over covered in blood, "I can't stand it anymore!"

Chen Mingyu's face was gloomy, he drew his sword in his hand, and roared angrily, "Don't panic, after the Wei army enters the city, their cannons will be unstoppable. The guards are ready to fight in close quarters, and we will live and die with Runan!"

The master general was like this, and the soldiers of the Ming army immediately drew out their weapons one after another, resolutely and solemnly, and roared loudly, "Coexist with the city!"

At this moment, Wei Jun's earth bags were finally built close to the city wall, so close that he could climb to the top of the city with one leap.

"Kill!" Yuan Shizhong jumped up from the trench, pointed his sword angrily, and let out a roar that shocked Runan.

At the top of the slope, the Wei army threw thunder hands, and threw thunder like raindrops on the top of the city. On the wall on the front of the slope, almost all the defenders of the Ming army were killed, and all the personnel were empty.

On the slope of the mound, a melee killer team wearing armor rushed up the city wall in dense file, and the black armor covered Hongtu's eyes.

The soldiers of the Wei army rushed out of the smoke and dust, and Chen Mingyu led his personal guards to kill them. The two armies collided like a torrent of steel. A cloud of blood.

Huang Bingzhong raised his arms and waved his fists in the middle army of the Wei army outside the city, "Okay! Go up! Order Li Yuanyin to blast the city wall."

Looking upstairs from the rear, Gao Yihuan retracted the binoculars and let out a foul breath, "In the future, this kind of siege battle should be fought as little as possible, it's too detrimental."

At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army rushed to the top of the city continuously, and the two armies fought hand-to-hand on the city. Chen Mingyu fought furiously with a knife and commanded the soldiers to surround the Wei army. The shock made the Jiao soldiers stunned, and they saw billowing smoke and dust rising from the north of the city, and then heard buzzing shouts, and the Wei army rushed into the city through the gap.

"General, the northern city is broken!" The soldiers of the Ming army around them all showed panic and exclaimed loudly.

The defenders were fighting hand-to-hand in the west city, and there were no soldiers to reinforce the north city. Once the Ming army rushed in, the defenders would be powerless.

With tears in his eyes, Chen Mingyu suddenly cried bitterly, and knelt facing south, "Your Majesty! I have done my best!"

After finishing the speech, without any reaction from the guards, he swung the knife horizontally, splashing a cloud of blood mist, and swung the knife to kill himself.

"General!" The surrounding soldiers knelt in a circle, exclaiming in surprise and weeping bitterly.
