Xiuyan City is not big, with an inner city of three miles in radius and a circumference of five miles in outer land. However, because it is a military fortress, the city walls are very high, nearly three meters away.

This may not be considered a big deal in the Central Plains, and may not even be comparable to ordinary county towns. But in Liaodong, such a city is already considered a big city.

Moreover, unlike the inner rammed earth, outer bricks and stones of the Central Plains city, the inner and outer walls of Xiuyan City are all stones, which are extremely solid. This is the result of the continuous addition of the Qing army.

Li Dingguo rushed over, and only brought two thousand cavalrymen in total. At this moment, except for those who stayed in the inner city, there were less than three hundred soldiers on each wall.

But looking at the Qing soldiers outside, Gao Shilin had enough confidence in defending the east gate, even if the number of troops on the other side was several times that of his own army.

They lacked siege equipment, and only a few flight ladders, no matter how many people were, they could only squeeze together and climb up a little bit. Moreover, there were not many real soldiers among them.

If the city could be captured by relying solely on crowds of people, the Ming Dynasty would not face the disadvantaged Qing army but was defeated repeatedly?

"A group of mobs", this is what Li Dingguo just said.

In this regard, not only Gao Shilin, but also all the soldiers on the front of the city agreed very much.

The Liao army lacked cavalry and soldiers, and anyone who could enter the cavalry camp was a first-class elite soldier.

They usually receive the best treatment, send troops the most, and fight against the enemy troops the most brave. They have never been afraid of the Qing elite cavalry. Looking at the miscellaneous fish soldiers who were temporarily pieced together in front of them, they naturally look down on them.

Gao Shilin pulled the string and pulled the bow, aiming at the Qingshang who was lifting the ladder in the front. With a "swoosh", the feather arrow shot out with the sound of the wind, piercing the Qingshang's neck.

The Qing soldiers continued to run forward a few steps, and suddenly fell to the ground with their hands covering their necks. They fluttered for a few times, and then stopped moving at all.

This arrow kicked off the war.

The feather arrows shuttled through, accurately and fiercely, aiming at the Qing soldiers with weak protection.

The first round of attacks of the Qing army quickly stopped completely, and they were not even touched the top of the city. The dozen bodies left at the foot of the city and the ladder leaning against the city wall declared that there was indeed a war here.

But soon, the second round of attack of the Qing army came, followed by the third round and the fourth round.

Each time he invested only two or three hundred troops, he fled backwards after a slight setback. However, he was only withdrawn from the range of the bow and arrow and was reorganized and launched another attack.

With such an attack, they launched nearly ten rounds, leaving one or two hundred corpses under the city.

Achier wrapped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Xiuyan City not far away with a very relaxed expression, as if the war there had nothing to do with him.

Only the chestnut yellow horse under his crotch walked around restlessly, as if he was eager to join the battle.

Sun Yanling came with a dozen guards riding horses, "A Chier, Nan Chu, he was unwilling to increase his troops and said that you would solve the problem of siege by yourself. He would launch an attack at the North Gate to attract the attention of the defenders in the city. He also said, let you be careful of siege."

"Bah!" Achier spitted on the ground.

"This coward. If you don't send me, don't send me! I don't expect him anyway. Lao Sun, we two must be consistent. When the master comes back, we must put the responsibility for losing the city on Nan Chu, and say that all this was caused by his untimely reinforcements."

Sun Yanling disagreed with this, but he nodded slightly.

He knew that Achier looked tall and brave, but he was very stingy. If he didn't cooperate with him, it might not necessarily arouse his hatred.

Besides, they were originally from Hunta, and Hunta and Nanchu were incompatible. Even if Hunta did not completely believe what they said, they would not be directed towards Nanchu, so they could use this to shirk responsibility.

"A Chier, what are you going to do next? Are you really planning to attack Xiuyan City before the master comes back?"

Achier laughed and said, "I just saw that there were not many enemy troops on the top of the city, at most two or three hundred people. Since it was a test, we must test how many troops they had. Even if we can't capture it, we must give our master a correct letter, otherwise we may not be able to overcome the obstacles of Xiuyan City."

Sun Yanling's brow was gently twitched, but he didn't expect Achier to think of this. Thinking again, what Achier did this time was really right. He sighed slightly, "It's a pity that I don't have much military strength in my hands, otherwise I can help you."

Achier waved his hand and said, "I don't like your little soldiers yet! You can wait here to see how I attack the city?"

After saying that, without waiting for Sun Yanling to reply, he grabbed the horse's belly and the horse under his crotch ran out like a yellow lightning. "Blow the horns and gather troops and follow me to attack the city."

There was a sound of response around them. More than 300 armored infantry and nearly 100 cavalrymen who had been in the back formation finally began to move. They walked very slowly at the beginning, and their speed gradually accelerated after entering the range of the bow and arrow.

Especially the shield-holding soldiers at the front, they gathered together to form a shield array, covering each other and moving forward quickly.

The feather arrows hit the shield and made crackling sounds, but they ignored it at all. Even if the exposed part of their bodies was shot by the bow and arrow, no one said a word, which shows how brave it is.

They went straight to the city, and some of them firmly protected the ladders, and the rest climbed up quickly.

Following them were the elite soldiers with swords and guns. They did not rush up, but went forward one after another. There were not many soldiers rushing over each time, after all, there were only a few flight ladders to go up the city. The more troops they lost in the front, they would replenish as much as they were, but the attack continued for a moment.

They have few troops and high cities, so the ants attacking the city is not suitable for them.

At the beginning, ordinary soldiers were allowed to consume the defenders' bows and arrows through those rounds of attacks. At this moment, they wanted to fight with the defenders' consumption through continuous attacks.

Anyway, Hunta will be able to come back tomorrow, so Achier is not worried about the military force.

The archers stepped forward one after another, pulled the strings and pulled the bow, and shot the feather arrows to the top of the city to cover the soldiers in front of them to climb the city. Then they immediately retreated and retreated to the back.

Achier rode on the horse, galloping back and forth with nearly a hundred riders, and constantly pulling the bow. He had outstanding archery skills. Every time he made an arrow, he could always hit the target even if he looked down from the bottom and shot up.

In a blink of an eye, five or six soldiers were shot by his hidden arrows. When the people in the city noticed him, he had already slapped away, his eyes full of contempt for the enemy.

Sun Yanling stood in the distance and saw that Qing soldiers had already climbed to the end of the stairs and were slashing and stabbing each other with the defenders on the top of the city. Some people were constantly being stabbed and stabbed, falling from the top of the city.
