In the cave in the city gate, the soldiers were still struggling to hit the city gate with shield chariots, but when they hit the clouds, the iron-covered gate still remained motionless.

With two "knocks", the two shield cars that had been hitting the door were finally dispersed due to excessive force. When they saw the shield cars falling apart, the battalion soldiers who were pushing the cart were busy moving the dispersed shield cars to the side. The officers leading the team shouted outside, asking people outside to push two new shield cars in as soon as possible.

On the city gate tower, I found that the Qing army below had another shield chariot and entered the city gate cave. The Taiping army above immediately fell to the rocks, and the guards on both sides raised guns to attack.

The Qing army, who were hit by stones on the city continuously, also learned the essence. While pushing into the cave in the city gate, they stared at the city tightly. When they saw another stone appeared on it, they didn't need anyone to speak, and they scattered around with a shout. The Taiping Army smashed several stones in a row, but they didn't hit anyone.

The stones prepared on the city were almost exhausted. Before the young and strong people had transported the new stones, they smashed a few of them and did not hit the people. The Taiping Army on the city gate tower had to temporarily stop throwing stones and instead the gunmen from the Guards to attack the Qing army.

The gun was not threatening to the shield chariot. When it hit it, it could only hear the "puff" sound. It was impossible to beat it. However, the gun was very threatening to the battalion soldiers pushing the cart, which scared the soldiers pushing the shield chariot to put a huge shield on their heads, and then shrank their bodies inside, revealing only half of their butts. In this way, except for a few unlucky unlucky unlucky guys who were hit by the gun, most Qing troops were able to safely rush into the city gate.

With a rumbling sound, the two shield cars that had been pushing in from great force hit the city gate again, shaking the city gate slightly, falling a piece of dust. The blocked stone behind the door also vibrated, and several stones rolled aside.

"one two three!"

When the battalions saw the city gate shaking, they became excited. They shouted loudly and pushed the shield cart to the city gate again.

.........

The soldiers who were climbing the city heard the shouts of the cave in the city gate, and the Taiping Army on the top of the city had no choice but to take the cave in the city gate. The morale was revived. Every time the shield cart hit the city gate, they cheered, as if the city gate was about to be knocked open.

The cave in the city gate was just under his feet, but the Qing army below had no choice but to take the Qing army below. The Taiping army guarding the city couldn't help but get anxious and looked at the Qing army at the entrance of the city gate, cursing. The gunmen from the Guards camp who were transferred up were still setting guns, but the Qing army was pitifully few.

No matter how strong the city gate is and how tight the back is, it cannot help but the Qing army keeps hitting. Even if it is not knocked open, as long as it is knocked out of the big hole, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Brother, you have to think of a way quickly, otherwise the city gate will be knocked open by them sooner or later!"

Seeing that this would not work, Ge Yi bit his teeth and wanted to take some brothers who were not afraid of death to hang them from the rope to stop the Qing army. However, his brother Ge Zheng grabbed him, looked down at the city, and shouted at the soldiers on the city tower: "Shock the sky. Use Shisha thunder!"

After hearing the orders of Baihu, the soldiers were stunned for a moment and hurriedly threw the "sky-shaking thunder" in their hands down.

The Shi Tian Thunder made by the Shantou Camp was limited by the amount of gunpowder. The amount was not large. Most of the time it was used in the battle of Guifeng Mountain. When Po Xinhui entered the city, he bombed another batch. He was busy strengthening the city defense in the past two days and did not dare to use cannon medicine. Therefore, the Shantou Camp did not make new Shi Tian Thunder. Now each battalion has only a dozen. Therefore, before the battle, Zhou Shi repeatedly told him that the remaining Shi Tian Thunder in each battalion must be used during life and death, and must not be used in advance.

In Ge Zheng's view, this critical moment is already alive. If the city gate is knocked open, everything will be over. What are you waiting for if you don't have to shake the sky?

After six or seven thunders were lit and thrown down, the Qing army below had not yet reacted to what was thrown from the city. Some people were surprised at why the bandits threw down the firecrackers. When they found that something seemed to be wrong, there were several loud "booms" sounds, and countless iron nails flew towards them with the smell of choking gunpowder.

"My eyes, my eyes!"

"Ah!...Uh!"

Under the blow of the thunder, the inside and outside of the city gate were covered with black smoke and wailing.

"Tung oil!"

The strike worked, and Ge Zheng shouted, smashed a can of tung oil from the two civilians to light the lamp, and then pulled out a torch from the fire that was boiling golden juice and threw it down without saying a word.

Tung oil was originally ignited oil, and it was about to touch the fire. The caves in the city gate were covered with broken wood. Immediately, the flames rose. The Taiping Army above threw the flammable quilt and firewood down the clouds, and soon the city gate was full of fire.

The fire was accompanied by black smoke, which made the soldiers inside cough and could not open their eyes. The soldiers who were burned by the fire screamed and rushed out of the ground and kept rolling.

It was fire, smoke, explosions and flying iron nails. The green camp that hit the city gate could not hold on anymore and retreated one after another. Even the officers leading the team were afraid that they would slow down and become dead ghosts.

The collapse of the cave in the city gate quickly led to a large number of people. The battalions who saw officers running even ran away. The battalions under the city walls, including the companions on the ladders, ran away. Hundreds of people ran back at the same time, and they were in a mess.

Shang Zhixin, who was watching the battle, saw this and his face darkened. He was about to speak, but he saw Ban Zhifu looking south as if he was evil. He couldn't help but look at it, but he was stunned.

In sight, the banner of Zhenfan, which represents the King of Pingnan, slowly arrived under the crowd of countless guards.

...........

Seeing the Qing army collapse, Zhou Shixiang hurriedly shouted at the dozens of gunmen on both sides, pointing fiercely at the battalions who were still on the ladder and shouting: "Fight, kill them!"

Hearing the shouts, the gunmen rushed over with their muskets, and pointed at the ladders with a "bang" sound, and then more than 20 battalions were hit by the gun and fell from the ladder. More than 100 archers from the Guards Arrow Team were also transferred to the city and gathered together to shoot arrows at the battalions who were still on the ladder.

During the chaos, Lin Shanzhi did not run with the defeated soldiers. While ordering his personal soldiers to stop the defeated soldiers, he ordered the archers to suppress the city.

The Qing army archers shot the bow and arrow at the battlements with red eyes. There were dozens of old archers inside, shooting very accurately. After a quick glance, they let go of the flag. The sound of the bow string sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows were nailed to the dozens of chassis on the city gate tower. The gunman, who was busy loading medicine, was immediately shot by more than a dozen. Some of them were lying outside and screamed and fell down to the city. The archers and young men were also shot seven or eight, and their injuries were severe and mild. They gritted their teeth and endured their companions hurriedly carried down the city.

There were screams all over the city and the city were hit. Dozens of battalions were hit. The Taiping Army gunmen who suffered losses became smart and no longer exposed the chassis. After the gun was shot, they squatted on the spot, but the Green Camp could not shoot them. When the medicine was loaded, they lifted the gun up and squatted when they fired. They were very cunning, and the archers in the city were so angry that they cursed.

A gunman slowed down his hands and feet. After finishing the gun, he didn't squat down as soon as possible. He was shot by an arrow from a battalion soldier with superb archery skills in the city. He heard the sound of breaking through the air. He felt anxious and was about to dodge the side, but he was slower. The sharp arrow hit his right eye and took a few steps back. He stopped. He raised his hand and touched it up and pulled it hard, and his face was bleeding. He looked at the left eye. The arrow was nailed to the arrow. When his face changed, he went crazy. He waved the arrow with his own eyes and ran around the city gate building.

A few young men saw him crazy and wanted to go forward to hold him down, but before they could rush up, an arrow that came out of nowhere flew towards his neck. The sharp arrow was so fierce that it penetrated deep into his neck, and blood flowed like a stream. After thrusting for more than ten seconds, he died.

When the young and strong men witnessed the death of this man, they were so shocked that they were stunned and did not dare to move. They still tried the hundred households of the barbarian camp to find a few young and strong men who were silly surrounding a corpse. They were so anxious that they stepped forward and yelled at them, "It's all him. Mom wants to die, but she won't find a place to hide!" The young and strong men woke up and crawled and looked for a place to hide from the arrows.

Under the city tower, there was now thick smoke choking, and the smoke that came out made the door hole so fragrant. The soldiers in the door hole couldn't stand it. They choked their lungs every time they breathed, and their eyes could no longer be opened. They saw the archers who were covering ran away, and they ran out in tears and howled. In a moment, except for more than a hundred corpses, there was no living person in the city gate.

Seeing that Lin Shanzhi was unable to climb the city or hit the door, he was killed and injured so many people. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet and wanted to rush again, but the soldiers dared not lean under the city again, and the officers were unwilling to die again, and they pushed each other and no one was willing to move.

Lin Shanzhi was helpless and did not dare to force him. Otherwise, if these battalions would really kill him in front of the formation and surrender to the Taiping Army in the city, it would have been a bad life. Fortunately, although these battalions did not dare to attack the city again, no one dared to rebel at the last minute.

In the end, Lin Shanzhi had to send his own soldiers to ask His Royal Highness to order the withdrawal of troops, and asked the remaining hundreds of archers to shoot at the city continuously, picking up the Taiping Army at the squat, venting the aggrievance and anger in his stomach.

The distance was too close, the cannon could not be shot, and the guns were not enough, so I didn't dare to lead people out of the city to pursue them. For a moment, Zhou Shixiang had no effective means to eliminate the remaining soldiers of the green camp. He could only send orders to ask the gunmen to continue firing the guns, and the others hid behind the arrow blocks to avoid being shot by the Qing army's arrows.

The battle situation was already obvious. The green camp under the city could no longer attack the city, but the Taiping army on the city did not dare to leave the city, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

The Qing army camp in the rear finally heard the sound of withdrawing troops. Lin Shanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Hearing the order to withdraw the troops, the remaining soldiers of the camp were as if they were amnesty, one by one, they all retreated with their heads hanging down.????

After a brief silence, the Taiping Army on the cityside cheered, "The Tartars retreated, the Tartars retreated!"

"We've kept it, we've kept it, we've kept it!"

“…”

The soldiers and the young men hugged each other and cried, jumping excitedly. After hearing the cheers on the top of the city, Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong looked at each other at the same time, with joyful smiles on their faces.

As the cheers spread, the entire Xinhui City was in full bloom. The remaining people of Xinhui who were anxiously waiting for their destiny were also excited. They hugged their relatives and laughed excitedly in the house and cried...

The captives of the Han army flag and the green camp were not happy or sad, and they just stared at the fleeing green camp under the city without saying a word.
