Chapter 23 Zhao Ming Out of the City
Jiangyin City is not a major defense area for Jiangyin. Although the situation has been turbulent since the end of Chongzhen, and in order to prevent thieves, some weapons and gunpowder were prepared in the city, but the equipment was limited.
Now, 60,000 rural warriors gathered in Jiangyin City, many of whom did not have weapons, and there were very few bows and arrows for long-range shooting, with no more than 500 bows or 100 bird guns.
At this time, the arrows and bird guns on the city were shot, causing some damage to the Qing army, but it did not stop the Qing army from attacking. The soldiers quickly approached the moat, set up a long bridge, and rushed to the city wall with the stairs.
"Bang bang bang bang~" By the moat, the second team of the Qing army's musketeers raised their muskets one after another, and the bullets shot at the top of the city. The guards who shot arrows were hit and fell to the top of the city screamed and fell to the top of the city.
"Squat down and shoot arrows from the shooting hole!" Yan Yingyuan shouted quickly.
The Qing army had fierce firepower and suppressed the archers on the top of the city. The first team of soldiers took the opportunity to pass the moat and came to the foot of the city wall, erecting a ladder to climb.
At this time, the rolling stones and wood on the city were smashed down, and the boiling gold juice splashed. The Qing army screamed repeatedly, and the defenders who showed their heads were also shot.
Soon, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the cover of muskets to climb to the top of the city. The Green Camp soldiers were soft-legged shrimps in front of the Eight Banners, but they were all as fierce as tigers in front of the village heroes.
Taking advantage of the musketeers' suppression of the city wall, the Qing soldiers jumped onto the top of the city, slashed the sword, and immediately chopped the village warriors over. The village warriors had not passed through the battle formation, and many people were shocked to fight and didn't know what to do.
Generally speaking, generals would not participate in the siege, but the Qing army did not take a group of rioters seriously.
In order to get the lead, Zhang Tianlu did not command under the city, but jumped onto the top of the city along the ladder.
He was a powerful general under Liu Liangzuo. He made a mountain sword full of power and invincible. He was a famous general in the Liu army.
At this time, he jumped onto the city with full confidence, and saw a general holding a spear and stabbing him directly. Zhang Tianlu didn't care and waved his sword to slash his head, as if he had seen the scene of the visitor being beheaded by him.
The sword slashed down, but his movements suddenly stopped. He looked down with disbelief and saw that the spear head had already been inserted into his chest.
"Die!" Zhao Ming took out a big gun and threw Zhang Tianlu's body down the city.
When Liu Liangzuo saw this scene, he was shocked and Qianli Jing fell to the ground in shock.
Just now, the sharpshooter in the city shot and killed several officers in succession. Now, even Zhang Tianlu has been picked to death, and the officers have lost all their losses, and they are all attacking.
Behind Zhao Ming, Wang Deshun, who was thinking about whether to take a damn move, was stunned for no reason, and his body was shocked.
"Follow me!" Zhao Ming turned around and shouted loudly, but his hands kept stabbing, and the spear stabbed the head of the spear was extremely fast, and he stabbed a person to death with one shot. Wang Deshun's heart was trembling, but Liu Si next to him was excited and his heart was about to jump out of the corner of his mouth. He shouted loudly: "Follow the guards and kill!"
Zheng Sen's bow and arrow and Zhao Ming's bravery suddenly raised the morale of the defenders on the city. In excitement, they all started to use weapons to fight fiercely with the Qing army.
Outside the city, Liu Liangzuo, who originally thought he could rush up in one go, did not expect that his three thousand elite troops would be frustrated in the attack.
At this time, the city still had no reaction. After Zhang Tianlu was defeated, the Qing soldiers were driven down. After he realized that he had underestimated the defenders, he did not drag on the slumber and immediately ended the attack.
"Ding Ding Ding!" A golden sound rang out, and the Qing army siege retreated in the wild.
"The Qing soldiers retreated! The Qing soldiers retreated!" The defenders on the city were so excited that they shook their hands and cheered, happier than the New Year.
Yan Yingyuan held the wall with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he blocked the first time, the township hero would be able to guard the blood after seeing the blood. He urgently ordered, "Each team will replenish the equipment, clean up the city, and then send people to collect the weapons and bows and arrows under the city."
...
The Qing army continued to attack Jiangyin City in the next few days, but after defending the villagers in the city once, they were not as panicked as they were at the beginning. When the Green Camp soldiers found that they had a strong idea, they began to make contributions but not work hard. They were defeated by the defenders several times of attack.
This made Liu Liangzuo angry and no longer polite to his subordinates. He personally killed two retreating Qianmao and sent his guards to supervise the battle under the city.
Early this morning, before the sky was dawn, a heavy footsteps came outside the city. When the soldiers guarding the city showed their heads, they were shocked. The Qing army actually escorted nearly a thousand old men with white hair, women holding babies, and half-aged children to press towards the city.
Thousands of Qing soldiers were lying on their waists, and the weapons in their hands were shining coldly, hiding behind the people in a very vulgar way.
"Tartars, I'll be your mother." The guards cursed and reported to Yan Yingyuan.
The soldiers of the guards stood on the city wall and saw that there were many of their relatives walking in front of them. Seeing that they were full of fear and staggering, the women and children cried loudly, and their expressions became solemn.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan came to the city calmly, looked at the situation below, and said with a gloomy expression: "The Qing army is vicious, Liu Liangzuo is inhumane, and he can't be able to make him successful. Big Wood, is the magical shooting team ready?"
There were few bows and arrows and bird guns in the city, and each bow should play its greatest role. After seeing that Zheng Sen shot the Qing generals to death that day, Yan Yingyuan provoked more than 30 people who were good at shooting and specifically shot Qing soldiers from the 60,000 local brave men in the city.
Zheng Sen nodded and said, "The general system is in place!"
Yan Yingyuan's face sank, "What are you waiting for? Shoot them to death!"
Arrows suddenly shot from the city, and the Qing soldiers in the queue fell to the ground from time to time, basically killed them with one arrow. Of course, they were almost shot by the arrow. One arrow could not kill the Qing army, causing them to wail and roll on the ground.
...
Xingchun Hall in the city has become a battlefield hospital in Jiangyin City. The yard is inside and outside, and even the streets are filled with wounded people waiting for treatment.
Li Zhizhi was busy. Whenever the wounded came, he would come and take a look, and then hurriedly go to help Li Dr. Li.
Many days when I see that person, I will not kill him.
...
That night, in the Jiangyin City Festival Hall, the main person in charge of the city discussed together. After a while, Chen Mingyu asked: "General system, how long can we last if we continue to fight like this?"
Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "If the equipment is sufficient, you can stay for three months to half a year."
Zheng Sen said: "Since that's the case, please help as soon as possible!"
Yan Yingyuan had a calm face, "Now the Qing army is besieging the city, Cheng Bi really cannot leave the city."
There was a silence in the hall. Zhao Ming stood up, clasped his fists and said, "General Manager, why don't I take Cheng's house out and fight, he is familiar with the terrain, and I will protect him!"
Yan Yingyuan frowned, and Chen Mingyu pondered for a while, "General System, I think it's OK. With Bo'an's courage, he will be able to lead Cheng Yuanwai to break through the siege."
Chapter completed!
