The smoke of gunfire, the sound of guns and cannons, and the arrows are flying.

Looking down from a high altitude, outside Xixu Gate, there were black thieves. They were now shield cars, and behind them were densely packed with bandits.

The sky was filled with arrows whistling up and down, some shot from outside the city to the city head, and some shot from the city head to the outside of the city.

Generally speaking, there were a few arrows shooting out of the city. At this time, it was only the cavalrymen of the cavalry team such as Jiuye, Qian Sanniang, and dozens of archers arranged for the Ximen to shoot archers, with less than a hundred people. Compared with nearly a thousand thief archers outside, the density of arrows was indeed smaller.

At the same time, both sides were shooting. The people on the Xixiu Wall were tall, and the very thick sacks of soil stretched out the entire wall, even all the mercenaries were covered with tightness, leaving only some wooden boards, and the gun cannon shot holes left behind.

Such defenses, not only bows and arrows, but even firearms and cannons cannot penetrate. Therefore, although the arrows outside are fast, they are like heavy rain, but they are directly shot and are blocked by sacks of earth. The casting wall is so high that it flies high above everyone's heads, and does not cause any harm to the crowd on the wall.

However, for such defense, it is not convenient for one's own side to shoot arrows, so he can only shoot in the air.

The outer bandits are covered by shields and chariots, and the density of the arrows is not high, so they will also cause extremely little harm to the outer bandits.

The defense of the city wall mainly relies on firearms.

"Yijia, look at the two shield cars and shoot!"

The new captain of the first team, Tiger squatted cannon roared, and the team, Ten gun soldiers in charge of the clutch here opened fire together.

Muskets were ringing, and the rolling smoke spewed out of this section of the wall. Two shield cars that were pushed quickly were beaten to pieces more than twenty steps away, but the two shield cars stopped for a little while and continued to push quickly. However, the breech Xin'an gun could not penetrate their shield cars that were as thick as twenty inches.

The city tower was blazing, and the sound of the soldiers putting out fires continued. After two bombardments, the city tower on Xixu Gate was probably completely destroyed.

Fortunately, except for this place, the remaining walls were protected by sacks of soil, and the trauma was not severe. The soldiers hid behind and were not hurt.

Yang He stood not far from the burning city tower and frowned. At this time, the two hundred gunmen of the two groups were hidden behind their respective holes. Because the bandits pushed the shield chariots in a different way, their shooting was carried out by the captains of each section, one team or one a volley.

But the bandits' shield chariot was too thick, twenty inches. You should know that the Qing army's excellent shield chariot was only eight inches thick.

The musket is ineffective at this thickness. Even if his Xin'an gun shoots ten steps, he can only shoot through seven or eight inches, which is still far behind.

He thought that he still needed artillery, even the No. 3 Little Wolf Machine Gun, could not stop any kind of shield car.

At present, there are still fewer artillery guns, only five, so after destroying seven or eight shield cars in a short time, the remaining shield cars are still pushing them desperately.

Especially the shield cars facing the gate ran the fastest, and there were five trench bridge cars. Under the protection of one shield car after another, they were getting closer and closer to the moat.

"Push up!"

There was a constant creaking sound, and densely packed hungry soldiers of the bandits pushed up the trench bridge. Behind were infantrymen holding spears to supervise and drive them away.

These pushed trenches are all 15 feet wide and more than 2 feet long. They have a turnover, winch, cable, etc. Just push to the moat and cut off the cable, and the bridge will be stuck at both ends of the trenches, and the trenches will become open paths.

The thresh bridge has always been a powerful weapon to siege. It has been used in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is also known as "Flying River" or "Flying Bridge". Perhaps it was because the cannons on the city were mostly concentrated above the ditches, and the five thresh bridges all went to the side and were soon not far from the moat.

The muskets on the top of the city were exploding, and the white mist kept spreading, making the wood chips on the trenched bridge boards flying.

But the trench bridge is too thick, and it is still twenty inches, and is standing high in front, which provides good protection for the hungry soldiers pushing the bridge behind.

But the defenders hanging upstairs shouted and pointed, and suddenly the wall was rumbling. At the dike area of ​​Zhonghao Bridge, dense dust bottles were thrown out, falling from front to back and left to side. After they fell to the ground, choking lime powder filled the area, and a shrill howling.

Many hungry soldiers coughed desperately, and many others covered their eyes and shouted everywhere.

The pain of ash entering the eyes is indescribable.

Some fire cups were thrown out and fell on the ground, and the thick flames rose high. If they were touched, they would definitely be burned to death.

A fire pot with a raging fire in the air came, and happened to fall among a group of hungry soldiers pushing the bridge. There was a loud scream, and the fire people howled and fluttered everywhere.

However, the density of the dust bottles thrown in the dike wall was not high enough, and the accuracy was a little poor. The infantrymen who were escorting the formation tried desperately to drive away the screaming hungry people to death. The trench bridge continued to push away, and soon pushed it to the moat.

Then the moat bridges fell one after another, and they were pinned to both ends of the moat, forming a bridge to cross the river.

"Run!"

As the trench bridge fell, cheers were heard in the bandit formation. Among them, the drum beats of the army turned sharply. The hungry soldiers behind were shouting, lifting the door panel, and pushing the cart to come up desperately.

The hungry soldiers behind the shield chariots were also cheering and howling. Under the banishing of the array, they all left the shield chariots and baskets, and rushed from the trench bridge to the wall.

The muskets on the top of the city shot and knocked over the hungry soldiers who rushed over to the ground one by one.

Without the protection of the shield cart, these hungry soldiers with only hoes and picks were in no way able to fight back. The shots rolled on the ground and wailed.

However, the rest of the people still rushed desperately. As long as they rushed through the moat, the firearms on the top of the city would be useless.

Generally, there are shooting dead corners at the top of the city. According to the eyesight at the head of the city and the shooting accuracy of the bow and arrow bird gun, the blind corners are determined on the side of the moat, so the moat must be a distance from the city wall. If it is too close, it is easy to form shooting dead corners too early, and the water flow can easily rinse and destroy the walls and flow.

However, as long as the enemy passes through the trench, it is difficult to see the situation under the wall unless the defenders stick out of the trench. However, if they stick out, they will easily be hit by the enemy outside the wall, so there are various city defenses such as horse faces.

There was no horse face in Suining City, only six temporarily built hanging buildings. There were too many hungry soldiers who charged forward, and they pushed the shields and chariots too close, only 10 or 20 steps.

Although many people were knocked down by the muskets on the city, the hungry soldiers who were like tide still rushed across the moat.

Then they got under the wall, waved their hoes and pickaxes, and desperately dug up the rammed earth wall.

"Roar up!"

Directly opposite the gate, the dense hungry soldiers left the shield chariots and rushed to the stone bridge. The muskets on the front of the city kept firing at them. Beside the bridge and the moat, the crowd of people moaning in pain, blood rolled out, dyeing the water of the moat red.

The two falcon cannons turned their heads and shot sideways at the rushing thieves. The shotgun roared away, and the smoke of gunpowders were mixed with blood mist. The blood rain of the rushing soldiers was rushing, lying all over the ground, and some shotguns hit the stone bridge, splashing sparks.

However, guns and cannons could not be fired from time to time, and there were still many thieves rushing into the stone bridge. They rushed to the walls at both ends and tried their best to dig up the soil.

...

The battles on the city and under the city were becoming fierce. The thieves desperately dig the city, while the gray bottles and stones were constantly hitting, holding fire pots.

The defenders in the hanging building also threw away ten thousand enemies with all their might, and threw down reed firewood from the top of the city, accompanied by drying medicine and oil, specifically dealing with the bandits who lifted the door panels or hiding in the car to dig the soil.

The flames were everywhere, and the thieves were killed. There were countless people who were burned alive. Under the city walls and beside the trenches, there were dense and terrifying bodies of dead people, and the wounded who were struggling and howling.

Some corpses are even distorted in shape and charred in their bodies, which makes people shocked, but they end up being shot by the fire pot.

Killing, shouting, screaming, and screaming sounded, and all kinds of tragic scenes.

The servants were fine. Many of them attacked the city not once or twice, but the hungry soldiers could not stand it. Their fanaticism subsided, and their timid instincts surged in their hearts. Many people screamed and wanted to escape. The infantrymen in the formation tried desperately to stop them, killing them and stabbing them to death on the moat.

There are also the moat where many thieves archers hid behind the shield chariots and shot and killed the timid and retreating hungry soldiers.

Their sharp arrows roared over, and many hungry soldiers fell under their own arrows.

Under their threat of expulsion, the hungry soldiers could only turn around and dig the soil desperately, digging no less than forty large holes in the Ximen wall.

At the time of Si, some thieves came over on the long ladder, followed by dense sword and shield hands.

Under the protection of the shield chariot, they approached the moat more and more. They shouted suddenly, and each long ladder rushed to several trenches and bridges. The firearms on the top of the city shot overturned some of them, but several long ladders still crossed the trenches and leaned against the ditches in front.

When the long ladder approached, most of the forks on the top of the city were pressed against, and then hit the rod and overturned. However, a heavy ladder still came. It was useless to force the forks on the city to hit the rod and force it desperately. The bent iron head in front of the heavy ladder hooked the wall.

Amid the cheers, some thieves climbed up with their swords and shields, and then poured boiling juice on their faces.

The foul-stealed golden juice fell, and the thief's sword and shield hands were wailing shrillly. The skin and flesh were blooming, and the bones were thick. The particularly boiling feces were deeply corroded, and the body and face were covered with faces. Under this severe infection, they would definitely not be able to survive.

Many thieves showed fear, but some thieves wanted to climb up, but they saw a "wolf tooth pat" on their heads. The thieves who were hit were covered with blood holes, and they screamed and fell down, knocking all the thieves climbing on the long ladder.

The wolf teeth patted him even more, falling from the city to the bottom of the city, and slapped hard on a bunch of rolling thieves below.

The wolf teeth of hundreds of pounds fell from the sky, with great force. The thieves were all spitting blood, their internal organs burst, and their bones were broken.

Finally, the wolf teeth were slapped and squeaked back. The wolf teeth and iron nails on it were very ferocious and flesh.

At noon, three pointed zombies came over under the protection of shield cars. One of them was destroyed by the cannons on the front of the city. One of them drove into the stone bridge and forced to the front of the gate. They were hooked by the long hooks on the top of the city and then pulled away.

The fire came from the city, and many thieves who were pushing carts and many thieves with knifes followed him were burned to death.

However, a pointed lever was still pushed to the front of the cubicle. The top of the cubicle was not only covered with leather felt, but also covered with a thin layer of iron. Therefore, although it was hit by the fire tank at the top of the city and burned wildly, the city-striking pole below still hit the cubicle desperately.

The gate was hit violently, and the sound of shattering the door panels slivered.

...

"It's almost done!"

Li Guo, who was behind, showed a very excited expression on his face. He ordered all the sword and shield hands to go up, hide behind the second earth wall, and hide behind the shield chariots. When the gate of the dike opened, he rushed into the stone bridge and rushed into the city.

At the same time, he also ordered the elite horse riding team to go up to two hundred, and when the gate of the emerald broke open, the sword and shield hand rushed in, and all the elite cavalry followed and killed all the resisting enemies in the city!

Are you really going to capture it? Wang Long opened his eyes wide.

Yuan Zongdi still looked at it seriously, but a smile slowly appeared on his face.

In this battle, the Shield Ches made great contributions, which made the Suining Township Yong's musket lose their sharp power.

"Master Donkey?" An old bandit from Tongshan Village who was already riding a horse beside him came to inquire.

Sun Youlu pondered in his heart, a little surprised and puzzled. He always felt that Yang He, who killed thousands of swords, was not so easy to fail. However, this time the rebel army had shield chariots. Although their firearms were sharp, they were all blocked and they should be captured.

But he was always a little uneasy, so he said, "My mother's legs, wait a minute... I'm not afraid of attacking me. We are old camp, and we can grab it quickly if we have horses!"

"It's almost done!" On the top of the city, Yang He was also instructing Minister Yang to give him the command here, and a general gunman stayed at the top of the city, and the rest followed him down to the city. He specifically told Minister Yang that the bandits rushed into the dike and remained unmoved for the time being.

When they were hit hard in the half-armor city and retreated in chaos, especially if the elite cavalry of the bandits rushed over, the cannons and guns on the top of the city would be slammed and killed them one by one on the stone bridge, opposite the moat.

Then he led Han Daxia, Chen Qiuao, Zhang Songtao, Jiuye, Zeng Youyu and others to go down the city, and Zhou Mingyuan, the general manager, followed him.

Then everyone surrounded Banwangcheng, where the city gate hole came in ten steps, and then went to each side of the two sides, which was not small in square order. At this time, the lower side was covered with sharp horses along the wall.

Yang He, a hundred gun soldiers in the lower city, ordered them to be divided into four rows, all standing on the slope outside the earthen wall. Behind the chest wall, there were dense soldiers gathering, holding gray bottles in their hands, and some people used long iron spoons to catch fire pots, with more than a dozen, which was also the last inventory in Suining City.

Then behind them was Cui Lu's grenade team, and there were still many more enemies left. There were baskets of them, filled with round ten thousand enemies, each weighing three kilograms.

Then, around the Banwangcheng, there were soldiers holding weapons, bows and arrows, the Jiuye Cavalry Team, and the sentry team, and the Chen Qiuao guards in iron armor stood.

After attacking the enemy in the half-barrel city, they will open the side door and fight out of the city, especially sweep the bandits who are still digging the city on the inside of the moat.

...

Everyone was waiting quietly, and the gate ahead was still roaring violently. The sound of the thick iron-covered gate was getting louder and louder, and the pointed wings outside the door were hitting desperately.

Finally, with a loud bang, the gate shattered and collapsed.
Chapter completed!
