Among the 30,000 Ming troops outside the city, there were only more than 10,000 Imperial Guards, and the rest were all Dongjiang soldiers. There were many musketeers and artillery soldiers in the Imperial Guards, who were responsible for suppressing Jiannu on the city with firepower, and they must be alert on the side.

The chore of Jiannu leaving the city to attack and climbing the cloud ladder to attack the city fell on the Dongjiang soldiers.

The original Dongjiang soldiers had very weak combat power and could not bear the heavy responsibility of siege. However, since Lu Xiangsheng led the Imperial Guards to Liaodong, it has been more than two months since Lu Xiangsheng's reorganization and issued another issue.

With sufficient food and salary, a large amount of weapons, armor and equipment were transported with ships. After retraining, the Dongjiang Army's mental outlook became much stronger than before.

The most important generals who led the army have changed. Mao Wenlong's adopted sons and grandchildren were deprived of command and were following Lu Xiangsheng as guards. In the current Dongjiang Army, except for Liu Xingzuo's brothers, the remaining generals who led the army are all.

The officers from the Imperial Guards were all selected from the Dongjiang Army with capable personnel. For their own future, these newly-promoted officers were working hard to fight against Jiannu and make contributions.

In addition, since the invasion of Liaodong, the Ming army has won consecutive victories, captured Jiannu's nest, and recovered most of Liaodong, making the army extremely morale!

And everyone knows that the main force of Jiannu is fighting in the Ming Dynasty, and those who stay in Liaoyang are ordinary flag soldiers. Even the Dongjiang soldiers will be under pressure when fighting against such flag soldiers!

Before going to the battle, Cao Bianjiao announced the reward and punishment measures. The first person to climb the city wall was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official position was promoted to three levels. Anyone who attacked the city wall was rewarded with great rewards. It was no problem to get promoted and reward silver, but he was afraid to attack.

All those in the city will be killed on the spot!

For this reason, Cao Bianjiao sent a thousand imperial guards as the supervisors and really killed more than ten Dongjiang soldiers who did not dare to climb the ladder.

Under the dual stimulation of heavy rewards and severe punishment, the Dongjiang army, who were responsible for siege, climbed along the cloud ladder. Under the double cover of muskets and earth-mounted cannons under the city, they quickly climbed up the city wall, but what awaited them was the construction.

The slave's heavy blow.

As we all know, the defending city has an absolute advantage in geographical location, even if it is suppressed by the Ming army's guns and cannons. After all, the Dongjiang Army can only climb the city along the ladder, at most dozens or hundreds of soldiers came up at one time, and the city wall is waiting for them.

But there are thousands of defenders!

Near each squad, there is a flag captain and two or three Han army soldiers defending each other. These Han army soldiers surrendered to Jiannu for more than ten years, and most of their families were in the city, so they were deeply trusted by Jiannu. Of course, they did not trust them.

There is no way, after all, the number of bannermen is too small, and without the help of these Han soldiers, the troops guarding the city are not enough.

Each squadron has at least three or four people defending. What are the consequences of jointly dealing with a Dongjiang soldier who has entered the city?

The first dozens of Dongjiang soldiers who entered the city were killed on the spot without any accident and their bodies fell to the city.

A flag director wanted to overturn the ladder, but Amin stopped him. First, the Ming army was very cunning, and the ladder did not reveal the chassis at all. If it wanted to overturn the ladder, it had to emerge from the chassis. If it showed up, it would not avoid the shooting of the muskets under the city.

In addition, Amin hopes that the Ming army will continue to attack the city. After all, only the Ming army will continue to climb up the city walls, and the Ming army artillery on the earthen mountain will not be fired if it is afraid of accidental injuries. Moreover, the defenders can use the Ming army to climb the city to attack it with a major blow.

If the ladder is destroyed, there will be no Ming army entering the city again. At that time, the city wall will be baptized by Ming army artillery again!

Teams of Dongjiang Army soldiers climbed the city wall and were easily killed by the flag guarding the city and the Han soldiers. However, the Dongjiang Army continued to climb one after another as if crazy and bravely climbed the city wall.

The stupid Mingdog, trying to capture Liaoyang City by this means is simply a daydream! Amin thought secretly, very disdainful of the Ming army's combat effectiveness. Now, Ally only needs to rush to the Ming army's array and go from the side

Attack will definitely kill these Ming troops who are sieging the city. If they can take the opportunity to destroy the Ming army's artillery, the Ming army outside the city will no longer have any threat to the Liaoyang city general!

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred on the city wall, and a Han army dressed up and shouted: "Kill slave!"

The shouting was so loud that it overwhelmed the roar of guns and the fighting in the city.

With this shout, many Han soldiers on the city wall suddenly turned their guns and rushed towards the flag deck beside them.

The elbows and armpits changed, and many flag directors were concentrating on dealing with the Ming army that was climbing the city, and they were not careful of the "comrades-in-arms" of Han slaves beside them. In just a moment, nearly a hundred flag directors were killed on the spot, and the city walls were suddenly in chaos.

"Brothers of Han army, the Ming army has killed the city. It's time for us to return to the Ming Dynasty. Kill Jiannu!" Shen Tong roared, pulling out the spear in his hand from the body of a flag dial, towards the next flag dial Meng

Punch over.

"Kill Jiannu!" Many Han soldiers shouted and rushed towards the flag-crown on the city.

Over the past few days, along with other Jinyiwei who had sneaked into the city, Shen Tong successfully convinced hundreds of people to return to the Ming Dynasty by relying on various means. Among these hundreds were Han soldiers and Baoyi from the bannermen's homes.

The Ming army invaded Liaodong, won consecutive victories, and even captured the old capital of Jiannu, Hetuala City. The troops were outside Liaoyang City, and Amin in the city did not even dare to go out of the city to fight. In the eyes of those with discerning eyes, Jiannu was indeed out of the way.

.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had thousands of miles of country, millions of troops, and billions of people. How could Jiannu, who had only hundreds of thousands of people, compare with? At this time, smart people naturally knew how to choose.

So without much effort, Shen Tong successfully said that he had reduced hundreds of people. It’s not that he couldn’t convince more, but that time was urgent, and for the sake of safety, he couldn’t look for all kinds of people. Shen Tong mainly looked for

The one who had a family with Jiannu who had been killed by Jiannu was dissatisfied with Jiannu's rule. Although there were only a few hundred people, and there were even less than two hundred people on the wall of the Nancheng city, it was enough!

Nearly two hundred Han army coats all had weapons and launched a fierce attack on the flag managers. The other Han army soldiers on the city were stunned. They didn't know what happened. The living flag managers were all very shocked and angry.

They were full of vigilance against all the Han army soldiers around them. They had no idea how many Han army soldiers were persuaded to surrender by the Ming people.

For their own safety, many flag soldiers even rushed towards the Han army beside them without thinking, regardless of whether the other party was a spy from the Ming army. Therefore, many Han soldiers were forced to raise their weapons and attacked the flag soldiers who were killing themselves.

Resist. More Han troops were at a loss and didn't know who to help.

On the city wall, the Han army soldiers and the Jiannu Banner were fighting, and no one went to intercept the Ming army who had climbed the city. In a short time, several groups of Dongjiang troops climbed the city wall one after another, gathered on the city wall, and controlled it easily.

A section of the city wall.

The clothes worn by the Han army were not very different from those worn by the Eight Banners. These Dongjiang troops could not tell the enemy and us, and they did not know who was their own.

At this moment, Chen Tong killed the Qiding who was entangled with him and came to the Dongjiang army.

"At Xiajinyiwei, a hundred households, were ordered to sneak into Liaoyang as an insider. During the fight, the white towel tied with a right arm was his own people who were trying to surrender. Those who were wearing cloth armor and various armor were all Jiannu Banners!"

The clothes are similar, but they are still different. The Han army officers at least have a pair of leather armor, while the coat-coated soldiers do not have armor at all. However, the Jiannu Banners almost all wore armor. They occupied Liaodong for more than ten years. He defeated hundreds of thousands of Ming troops and captured countless troops. In terms of equipment, the current Jiannu flag officers are far better than the Ming army. Even the left-behind flag officers have armor!

Therefore, under the guidance of Shen Tong, the Dongjiang army that had climbed the city and the Han army joined forces to fight towards the Jiannu Banner Ding. More Dongjiang army were constantly climbing the city wall through ladders.

Amin and more than a dozen guards tried their best to resist, full of anger and fear. He never expected that so many Han troops would be persuaded to surrender by the Ming army. In the entire Liaoyang city, Han soldiers were given a slaughter. There were nearly 20,000 people, which was twice as many as the bannermen. How many of these people were persuaded to surrender by the Ming army? How many Ming army spies were there in Liaoyang City?

Nowadays, except for the bannermen, Amin has no trust in the surrendered Han army and is full of doubts about everyone.

There were still three thousand flag guarding the south city, but Amin knew that in this case, the flag guards could not exert their original strength at all, because many flag guards were panicked, and most of them were They were mixed with the Han army soldiers and coattailers, and they could not form a joint force at all.

Even if the Ming people sent a detailed work to Liaoyang, there would be no way too many people. After all, some time ago, they ordered a check on the population in the city. In other words, although there were many soldiers in the Han army on the wall. , but not many people really rebel. If Ally could successfully defeat the Ming army that siege the city, most of the Han army would not dare to rebel, and the situation could be restored, Amin secretly planned.

While the guards around him were resisting the Ming army's attack, Amin leaned out of the city and then felt cold.

Because I knew that there were not many troops in my hands and the Liaoyang City was too big, Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji did not try to siege the city, and they only attacked one side when siege. In order to prevent Jiannu from leaving the city from other city gates to attack, Cao Bianjiao only ordered Dongjiang to The army was responsible for siege, artillery and more than a thousand imperial guards were responsible for suppressing Jiannu on the city wall, while most imperial guards did not join the siege battle, but were on guard.

When three fireworks rose in the city, Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji knew that Jiannu had killed from the west city. Cao Bianjiao continued to command the siege, while Zhou Yuji led five thousand imperial guards to line up to defend against the west side.

Ally led the 3,000-Eight Banners cavalry to rush out from the west gate and when he walked around the south city, he saw the imperial guards waiting for battle under the city wall.

The five thousand imperial guards were distributed inside and outside the moat, firmly blocking the way forward of the Eight Banners soldiers. Without breaking through the interception of the imperial guards, Ally would be unable to deal with the Dongjiang army that was sieging the city.

Under normal circumstances, the Imperial Guards should not be arranged in this way, because they will inevitably be attacked by defenders from the city. The defenders only need to throw bricks and lime bottles down to get the Imperial Guards under the city. The battle was so good that the Jiannu Banner on the city wall was too busy to take care of himself. Under the attacks of the Han army and the Dongjiang army that climbed the city wall, they could not protect themselves, and they could not pay attention to the imperial guards under the city.

"Moldo, you lead a thousand cavalry to take a detour to attack the Ming army's Tushan artillery position and destroy the Ming army's artillery!" Looking at the intercepting Ming army array in the distance, Ally ordered loudly.

"Zhe!" A Meleezhen, named Mondor, agreed and led a thousand cavalry out of the city wall and walked around the distance.

"The others broke through the Ming army and killed all the Ming army that siege the city!" Ally shouted, and rushed towards the Ming army array not far away.

Ally has always wanted to fight the Ming army in field instead of passive defense, but Amin has always been inaccurate. Now that he finally has a chance, he naturally wants to kill him.

Damn Minggou, let you see how powerful the Eight Banners Warriors are! Aieri roared in his heart.

"Boom boom boom"

At this moment, a series of cannons suddenly sounded, and shells roared into the Eight Banners Cavalry array, smashing the Eight Banners Cavalry people and overturned them.

The city wall was in a melee, and the cannons on the earthen mountain were temporarily useless. Under the order of Cao Bianjiao, they began to bombard Jiannu who had left the city.

The artillery seemed ferocious, but in fact the casualties caused to the Jiannu cavalry were not too great, but it forced the Jiannu cavalry to launch a quick attack.

Two thousand Jiannu cavalry rushed towards the Imperial Guard formation along the banks of the frozen moat. Logically speaking, cavalry attacking the infantry formation was not a good choice, but Alli could no longer care about too much.

Only by quickly breaking the Ming army's interception can we massacre the Ming army troops that siege the city. If the cavalry speed is lost, it will easily fall into the siege of the Ming army.

However, just as the Jiannu cavalry was about to hit the Imperial Guards array, suddenly many black spots flew out of the Imperial Guards array and then "boomed" and exploded into countless fragments.

The Royal Arsenal was produced and named by Emperor Chongzhen himself. Hundreds of grenades were thrown into the Jiannu Cavalry ranks!

This grenade is made of "Ten Thousand People". Each piece weighs two pounds and contains one pound of gunpowder to detonate with a lead. Because it is too heavy, it can only be thrown more than ten steps away. After the shell is blown open, it will blow it into seven or eight pieces.

The coverage is not large, and many grenades ignited leads will be extinguished when flying, with an explosion rate of only more than 50%, but it cannot withstand the number of them. More than 200 grenades were thrown out, and at least more than 100 grenades

The explosion caused great damage to the Jiannu cavalry at that time!

Almost all the cavalry and horses rushing in the front were blown to the ground, and the Eight Banners soldiers on the horse were either bombed or fell to death on the spot. The huge explosion at close range made countless war horses frightened and never suffered from the cavalry on the horse.

Controlling, many war horses did not dare to run forward and ran wildly towards the south far away from the city wall. Some war horses also jumped down and threw the Jiannu cavalry on their backs to the ground.

The war horses of this era have not received training for explosions at all. Faced with violent explosions, people will be afraid, let alone war horses? Therefore, the cavalry with full confidence in breaking the formation instantly became a joke.
Chapter completed!
