Chapter 216 Diamond Fortress

Rumble!
The continuous loud noise was deafening, the earth was shaking, and the tall city walls were also exploding, shaking constantly.
Sand and gravel were everywhere, and shrapnel flew everywhere. This was the most important gift left to the Tartars before the Anguo army retreated into the city. Six or seven hundred people were submerged in the final explosion.
Hundreds of mines and grenades, as well as the Divine Fire Crow, form two maps of purgatory on earth.
In this picture, the performers are those living Tartars. Some were blown to pieces, leaving only a pile of blood, some had broken limbs and legs, their intestines were broken, and human parts were everywhere. Some were lucky enough to die, but their arms and legs were blown off, and they were still wailing in pain on the ground.
However, the fate of these people was also destined. With the medical level of the Qing army, there was obviously no way to treat them. They could only let these people die in grief. Even if they were desperate and escaped, they would leave their lifelong disability and would always lose the qualification to commit crimes.
Before the smoke outside the city had dissipated, Tang Zhanxiong and Kang Lesheng had already appeared in front of Gu Zhenhua.
"Report to the Duke of the State, the post of the post has returned from completing the mission, and the current combat situation is reported."
"Please say it!"
"Yes!" Kang Lesheng stood straight and said loudly: "Our army was ordered to resist the enemy outside the city. After four and a half days of fighting, it is conservatively estimated that more than 4,000 enemy troops were killed and more than 6,000 injured in all kinds of wounded people, including one deputy general, two generals, and countless other officers."
Kang Lesheng paused for a moment, and then said, "Our unit suffered heavy losses. Among them, 394 soldiers were killed and more than 200 were seriously injured. They have been sent to the city for emergency treatment!"
This casualty ratio was expected by Gu Zhenhua, and he was quite satisfied.
"Hahaha, you fight very well. Now go and rest immediately. The next battle is still inseparable from you!"
"Yes!" Tang Zhanxiong turned around and was about to leave, but Kang Lesheng was still standing on the spot, motionless.
"You have to report to the Duke of the State, and there is still a report on your job."
"Say it."
"When dealing with Hu Shouliang, he used the tunnels to achieve the effect of a sudden attack, and killed Wu Sangui's favorite general. Bei Zhi thought that when defending the city, he might be digging more tunnels to hide troops and transport materials. He was both hidden and safe in the underground, and had an unparalleled advantage."
"It's great to know and summarize the experience and lessons. My Lord will inform you. Your current task is to take a break quickly and defend the city next. The real test is."
"An Guojun will win!"
After receiving Gu Zhenhua's affirmation, Kang Lesheng seemed very excited and couldn't help but yell loudly. Although the other soldiers who had just retreated into the city were extremely tired, they could hardly open their eyelids, but when they heard this sound, they shouted together as if they had a heart attack.
"An Guojun will win!"
"An Guojun will win!"
"An Guojun will win!"
...
The roar spread farther and farther away, and the soldiers and civilians in the city shouted unconsciously. Everyone had long lost their fear of the Tartars, and they only had a passionate and shared the same hatred for the enemy!
Even the Qing army outside the city heard the earth-shaking roar. Haoge and Wu Sangui had stinking faces, which made them look so ugly.
Although they swept through all the fortifications of the chest wall, the huge casualties made them not know whether it was a victory or a failure! Even they themselves could not understand the bitterness.
After a while, Haoge sighed to the sky: "Hey, if the Han people were so cunning, how could the Qing Dynasty shed their horses in the Central Plains!"
Wu Sangui had a gloomy face, and his heart was almost touched. He wanted to cut Gu Zhenhua into pieces and chop it into meat sauce. Yang Ming, Xia Longshan, Hu Shouliang, and these confidant generals died at Gu Zhenhua's hands.
Every time one dies, it’s like a heart-killing one, not to mention that so many dies, it’s like driving the big traitor crazy!
"Prince, no matter what, we have cleared the obstacles to attack Ji County. The next step is to capture the city. No matter how much the price, we have to eat it. As long as the Anguo army is solved, the other Ming court troops are not worth mentioning."
"Well, that's all." Haoge said: "King Pingxi, we must work together and don't have any shirks and retreats."
"Xiao Wang understands that even if I fight all the Guanning Army, I will do whatever I want!"
After solving the obstacles in the chest wall, the Qing army rested for a long time and immediately began to attack Ji County. This time, the Qing army took out all the bulls, yellow horses and treasures.
The 100 Shenwei General cannons of Wuzhenchao Ha Camp in Shi Tingzhu aimed at the city wall. Under the cover of the cannons, the Qing army divided into three directions and attacked Ji County fiercely.
The north gate personally commanded Wu Sangui, the east gate was handed over to Mandahai, the west gate was handed over to Yang Kun, and Haoge personally dispatched the battle formation. After the battle formation was lined up, the first attack was Mandahai.
When this guy attacked his chest, he was a vanguard. After a few days, he was injured two or three times, but he was still energetic and still worked very hard.
"Crash, kill, kill Guangming Dog, and conquer the world for your master!"
Amid the rampant cry, the Qing army, like a tide, came over.
Ji County is not a simple county town. In fact, Gu Zhenhua knows very well that once he faces the advantageous Qing army, if he is alone, he will definitely be surrounded by the other party, and the outcome will be very bad at that time.
Therefore, on the first day after Anguo Army arrived in Ji County, it built two small towns in the northeast and southwest according to the flow of the Wei River and the terrain of Ji County.
These two castles are purely for military purposes and are connected to the city walls of Ji County, each with a radius of about two thousand meters. A large amount of arms and food were stored in the city, as well as a clear water well. A urn city was built at the connection between the city walls, and there were also tunnels underground.
Especially in the small town in the northeast, because there is a mound in the center, Gu Zhenhua and specially set up a fort here and installed ten red-clothed cannons.
With these two small cities, the Anguo Army's defense front doubled, and its resistance to the Qing army increased exponentially!
Now it is finally time to test the strength of this line of defense. Mandahai led the Qing army and rushed towards the small town in the northeast along the frozen Wei River.
The person in charge of the Northeast City was Xie Bin. He held a telescope in his hand and carefully watched the movements of the Qing army, with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"Brothers, the Tartars are here to deliver the food. Do you eat it?"
"Eat, why don't you eat, so that they will never come back!"
Xie Bin laughed even more wildly. After so many battles, he has become particularly confident.
"Send the order, artillery prepare!"
The condescending artillery had long been busy. Because of its outstanding performance, Tan Xingyue had been promoted to artillery sentry commander and was also the commander of the Northeast Fort.
After receiving the order, he hurriedly ordered the artillery to adjust the muzzle.
The iron balls the size of a fist were put into the cannon barrel, and the fire shone brightly. A loud bang came, and the iron drew a graceful arc and landed on the ice of Weihe River.
When it fell, it also passed through the chest of a Qing army and suddenly smashed a huge blood hole.
Bang!
A huge hole was broken into the ice layer, and the ice surface cracked immediately. A Qing army's shield car just passed, and a wheel immediately fell into the ice hole, and both Tartars fell into the river, and they had a winter swimming.
"The Chief of the Swede is amazing!"
The other gunners were not outdone, and fired fire at the Qing army one after another. The ten red-clothed cannons might not kill too many Qing army, but they were enough to disrupt their formation and attack the morale of the Qing army.
Even Mandahai almost got a shell, and finally the Qing army rushed across the Wei River and came to the bottom of the castle. Looking at the Anguo Army's castle, the Qing Tartars were also dizzy.
The Han people's city walls have always been square and neat, but the castle in front of them is completely different.
The castle is very high, about three feet tall, and there are irregular protruding edges and corners everywhere. There is another characteristic, that is, the city wall is not straight up and down, but is somewhat inclined, thick at the bottom and thin at the top.
How can you look at this kind of city wall? How weird?
But the Tartars couldn't help but stare in a daze. They could only launch a desperate attack, pushing the shield cart, screaming, and then pulling the cart down and quickly approaching the city wall.
As soon as they approached the city wall, they suddenly felt something was wrong. From two directions, the bullets came like rainstorms.
The Tartars screamed in pain and kept falling down. This is the strength of the diamond-shaped fortress. The city walls become irregular in shape, which is equivalent to increasing the contact area with the outside world.
In the past, there was only one direction in front, but now it can shoot from two sides, and the intensity of firepower has increased a lot.
The dense rain of bullets launched an unprecedented massacre towards the Tartars under the city!
It was like harvesting wheat, falling down in pieces. Luan Hu was in charge of commanding the city. He had heard that his old friend Tang Zhanxiong had just shown his power and slaughtered the Tartars outside the city, and he was so happy to kill.
Luan Hu had long wanted to show his skills. He held a musket and pointed it at the Tartars under the city, and immediately knocked the trigger. The Tartars fell to the ground and died.
"Damn, I thought you were invulnerable to swords and guns, so let me die!"
The Anguo army slaughtered happily, but the Qing army was not a vegetarian. They quickly filled the trench and rushed to the city. Someone had already rushed to the city with a ladder, erected the ladder, and prepared to climb up.
But when they raised the ladder, they realized that something was wrong. It turned out that the damn city wall was not straight up and down, but was tilted. The ladder could not stand at all, and it would slip if it was put on.
"I'm so angry! Who's thinking about this is the unethical castle..."
Before the Tartar soldier could finish cursing, he threw a rolling tree from the city, and just hit his head. He immediately smashed his head into the cavity and died on the spot without saying a word.
Chapter completed!
