But these more than a hundred strongholds were not enough for the Ming army to fight for several days and nights.

Didn't the Ming army always huddle in the city and fight defensive battles with us? This time, the Ming army also experienced the pain of siege warfare. The Qing soldiers were not only invincible in field battles, but also unparalleled in defending the city.

…

The Ming army was indeed in trouble.

Jian Nu not only dug a blockade ditch outside Xuzhou, but also built forts every 100 steps along the blockade ditch. The forts were also guarded by flag men with white flags.

Although the number is not large, the combat effectiveness of these bannermen is not comparable to that of the coats.

Those warriors were so thin and hungry that they couldn't even lift a heavy shield. Their physical condition was incomparable to that of the Ming Dynasty's border troops.

Since Chongzhen personally led the troops, the Ming army deprived generals of their right to control food and pay.

Now not only is the pay and silver distributed directly by Chongzhen to individual soldiers, but there is no deduction for food. For every silver cent given by the superiors, the gang leader responsible for cooking has to cook one cent of rice, because no one knows when Chongzhen will be there.

Which town do you go to and eat from the same pot as the soldiers? In this case, who dares to deduct money?…

Therefore, the Ming army's physical condition is very good.

Most of the slaves who were enslaved were malnourished.

That's why the attack on the blocked ditch just now went so smoothly.

For a moment, Jin Shenghuan really suspected that he had become the God of War.

Because after killing seven or eight "Jiu slaves", none of them could be his general.

However, when the Ming army launched an attack on the fortresses along the blockade ditch, they were immediately met with stubborn resistance.

The first is the Dashao Gong. The Dashao Gong, which has never been seen before, is here again, accompanied by a whistling scream, and one heavy arrow after another shuttles through the night.

Almost every heavy arrow can kill a Ming army.

The cotton armor worn by the Ming army could not stop heavy arrows at all.

What's more, some Ming soldiers didn't even have cotton armor on their bodies, only a battle coat.

Although there are wooden cards, the sword players are also busy in the melee.

Jin Shenghuan was also hit by an arrow. Fortunately, the arrow hit Shan Wenjia's heart-protecting bronze mirror. Although the four-edged heavy arrow penetrated the heart-protecting mirror, its momentum was also restrained and failed to penetrate.

Nail plate.

But this still made Jin Shenghuan break into a cold sweat and immediately hid behind the wooden sign.

There were about a dozen Jiannu forts blocking the frontier of Jin Shenghuan's town. The more than 5,000 Ming troops under Jin Shenghuan were divided into more than a dozen groups and launched a frantic siege on these dozen forts.

However, the results of this large-scale siege were disastrous.

Soon, the Ming army was defeated and hundreds of people died.

"Headquarters, there are real slaves in the stronghold! Their bows are too strong!"

"Bitch, where are the musketeers? What are our musketeers doing?"

"In the main town, the muskets can't be fired accurately. It's too dark to see clearly."

"Where is the Crouching Tiger Cannon? Why hasn't the Crouching Tiger Cannon followed? What are you doing?"

"In the main town, even the squatting tiger cannon can't penetrate the rammed earth wall of the Nuzhai Fort."

"The thief, I still don't believe it. I gathered all the wooden signs and built them into a shield wall. Then I called the Minzhuang people over there and asked them to dig. Even if they dig, they will have to dig the rammed earth used to build the Nuzhai Fort.

Dig down the wall!"

At that moment, some soldiers rushed away and called Minzhuang who was filling in the trench to block the ditch.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of civilians led by Du Yinxi had already left the city at night and were going all out to move soil and fill the blockade ditch in Yunlong Shandong.

The sound of horse hooves also rumbled.

Three thousand cavalrymen under Jin Xuan left the city and began patrolling along the blockade ditch.

One of the groups, about three hundred cavalry, meandered along the blockade ditch and came to the opposite side of Jin Shenghuan and his companions.

Seeing the cavalry, Jin Shenghuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he rushed forward and waved his hands and shouted: "Hey, Mr. Jin?"

The cavalry separated, and a Ming general wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and mountain armor appeared in front of the formation: "Jin Zongzhen?"

"Master Jin." Jin Shenghuan was overjoyed and said loudly, "For the sake of you and my fellow clan members, please give us some support."

Jin Xuan glanced at the left and right sides of the battlefield and found that Jiannu did not engage in cavalry counterattack. He rushed to the cavalry behind him and shouted: "Everyone dismount and line up!"

The cavalry used Lumi guns, and their firepower was much stronger.

The three hundred cavalry were divided into three teams, front and rear, and quickly formed a formation.

"Attack!" Jin Shenghuan immediately led a group of border troops to attack again.

A dozen real slaves and more than a hundred coats of clothing who were guarding the fortress leaned out one after another, preparing to fight back.

However, at this moment, accompanied by intensive bang bang bang bang sounds, a row of lead bullets roared and poured on the wall of the castle. The real slave and the coat who had just leaned out were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

Then the second row of lead bullets hit, and then the third row.

The repeated firing of three hundred Rumi guns was already extremely lethal.
