Chapter 379 of the text of the No. ruthless man in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army attacked the sky at night and was completely completely dark.

Wang Ermazi tossed and turned on the camp bed that he temporarily set up in the city tower, but he just couldn't sleep.

He was impressed by the fierce battles during the day, and the surging charges of the Tartars still felt scared.

The Tartars, whose numbers are in absolute advantage, seem to not consider eating them in one bite, but round after round is like a tide.

Relying on the number of people to grind is Jishiha’s strategy this time.

There is no doubt that this strategy is very effective, because the Qing soldiers can be rotated continuously, but the Ming army cannot do this!

There are only 20,000 to 30,000 people in Jiaozhou City, and even if there are militias, it will not exceed 50,000. It is already very difficult to face the siege of more than 100,000 troops.

Now Ming Jun is relying on one breath to support him, but what if he loses his breath?

Wang Ermazi dare not imagine it!

No, I can't sit there like this and wait for death. Wang Ermazi lifted the quilt and beat it up and threw it over.

He put on his shoes in the dark, then walked to Gan Hui's bed and patted him: "General Gan, get up quickly."

Gan Hui opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was Wang Ermazi and wondered: "What's wrong? But the Tartars attacked at night?"

Wang Ermazi shook his head repeatedly: "This is not, but I think the Tartars' offensive is so fierce. If we don't want to come up with a complete plan, we may not last long. I can't sleep and want to ask General Gan for advice."

Gan Hui complained secretly in his heart.

In fact, from the very beginning, he suggested evacuating directly and retreating to Dengzhou.

This is definitely not about strengthening others' ambitions and destroying one's own prestige. It is a conclusion drawn after careful evaluation.

After all, the Tartars' troops were several times that of their own, and the Ming army did not have any advantage in terms of military quality.

But Wang Ermazi insisted repeatedly, and Gan Hui couldn't say anything, so he could only play and watch.

In fact, Gan Hui thought that the Ming army had to hold on for at most three or five days, and finally had to withdraw its troops.

Now it seems that I am probably a little optimistic in three to five days.

"What's the point of asking for advice? The soldiers come to block the water and the soil."

Gan Hui smiled bitterly and said, "You and I have to discuss it here, but you have to do it with real swords and guns. Besides, if you don't have a good rest, you will not be energetic tomorrow, so how can you fight a good battle?"

"That's what I said, but"

Wang Ermazi was about to argue, but suddenly someone patted his shoulder behind him, which scared Wang Ermazi and jumped two steps.

When he turned his head and saw that it was Li Shitou, Wang Ermazi breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh General Li, you can't walk in the middle of the night, you're scared me to death."

Li Shitou curled his lips and said, "I promise you to scare you, I can't scare you. I don't think I can't sleep here. There are many Tartars, and after today's temptation, we have already understood our reality and reality. We will definitely attack the city tomorrow. We should think of a solution in advance."

Wang Ermazi praised repeatedly: "General Li can see clearly, we have to put together a conclusion."

Seeing that Li Shitou and Wang Ermazi were wearing pairs of pants, Gan Hui had to agree and said, "Well, let's put it together."

The city tower was too dark, so Wang Ermazi lit a candle in the dark, and then placed the candle close to the three of them.

He sat down cross-legged, exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "I'm going to say that there is not enough supplies to defend the city, and the number of soldiers is tight. Why not demolish all the houses next to the city wall in the city, and move all the wood and stones to the city, and recruit some civilians and soldiers to help defend the city."

Li Shitou raised his eyebrows and said, "Recruiting the Minzhuang again? If I remember correctly, General Wang has already recruited more than 20,000 militias. The young and strong in the city have almost been completely drained. If he can only draw children in his teens."

Wang Ermazi spread his hands and said, "I have no choice. General Wang has seen it. People on the city are tight. It will be a matter of time before this continues to be broken."

"I think the Tartars seem to be prepared this time." 678

Li Shitou played a role in the experience of the Hu Ben Army. He found that compared with the last time, the Qing army's military strength composition had a significant change, and the number of artillery troops increased significantly. This was actually a move. If the human sea tactics did not work, the Qing army could bombard the city walls at all costs. The city walls of Jiaozhou City were not covered with bricks, and it was likely that they would collapse directly in the face of such fierce artillery fire.

The reason why Ji Xiha did not use the killer move as soon as he came up was because he also wanted to save face. If he could take it directly, he naturally didn't want to use the power of the firearm too much.

Moreover, the ammunition of the red-clothed cannon is also very precious, so it is natural to save some of Jishiha.

"If the red-clothed cannons of the Tartars cannot be destroyed, I suggest you be ready to evacuate at any time."

In Li Shitou's impression, the red-clothed cannons of the Qing army were not even weaker than those of the Hu Ben Army.

With Jiaozhou City's body, I really can't withstand the several rounds of shelling.

"Can"

Just as Wang Ermazi was about to argue, he heard a roar of cannons.

Not good! The Tartars attacked at night!

The three of them rushed out of the house at the same time, and as soon as they went out, they saw the fire shining through the sky! The entire night sky was reflected by the fire as if it were daytime.

Several marches were shattered by artillery bombardment, and even the tiles on the city tower were shaken off.

The Tartars actually attacked!

"Damn it, grandpa, I will teach you a lesson. Come on, where is the gunner, let me fight!"

Wang Ermazi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. If he did not fight back in this situation, he would be completely suppressed in his momentum.

Although it was night, the Ming army remained extremely vigilant. Soon the soldiers took their own positions and the gunners aimed at the Qing army's camp.

"Start a fire!"

Wang Ermazi gave the order, and the Ming army gunners fought back.

However, the sound of this row of small cannons was still much worse, and the flying shells seemed to fall into the sea in the night.

"Boom!"

At this moment, another red-clothed cannon shell flew over and hit it more than ten steps away from Wang Ermazi. Dozens of Ming soldiers were crushed to death, and Wang Ermazi was also shocked by the aftermath of the shells.

"General Wang, are you okay?"

Li Shitou was a little far away. After reacting, he hurried over to check. Wang Ermazi's body was covered with broken tiles, stones, and blood oozing from his legs. Li Shitou's face was so scared that he was pale.

"It's okay, I'm fine, the damn Tartars are so cruel."

Wang Ermazi rolled over with difficulty and cursed.

He looked up and saw Gan Hui personally directing the soldiers to set off firecrackers in the distance, and he was very moved.

Although Gan Hui didn't say that, he was definitely the one who worked the most in the battle.

"I still underestimated the Tartars, but I didn't expect them to attack at night."

Wang Ermazi shook his head and said, "General Li, help me up."

Although Wang Ermazi was not seriously injured, his calf was injured by stones.

Now that he limped, if Li Shitou hadn't helped him up, he would have had a hard time
