The chariot was still a few meters away from the gap, and the few infantry hiding behind were exposed to the guns of the enemy's musketeers on the city.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Some of the enemy's musketeers refused to obey orders and fired ahead of time nervously.

One person fired, causing others to follow suit.Shooting indiscriminately, Datong's infantry only fell more than a dozen people.

If they obeyed the order and moved the chariot closer to shoot, the Datong soldiers would be exposed even more, which would probably cause two or three hundred casualties.

"Bastard, who the hell fired the gun first?"

Meng Qiaofang's nephew, Meng Xiongbi, cursed and then ordered, "Quickly refill the bomb!"

For Datong firecrackers, the interval between firing, reloading, and firing has been shortened to about 50 seconds.As for these miscellaneous firecrackers, loading ammunition on the spot is no longer a matter of how long it takes, but whether they can accurately load the ammunition.

Many firecrackers were in a hurry, either forgot to add gunpowder, or stuffed gunpowder hard.

Meng Xiongbi was very anxious, and asked the soldiers who were boiling the golden juice and hot oil: "Is it hot?"

"Not yet, soon, soon!"

The golden juice and hot oil here are cooked in a pot after the artillery stops firing.

Tong Yangjia ordered the soldiers to burn oil under the gunfire. Under the threat of the military law team, a group of unlucky people went up to light the firewood.Only one pot was overturned by the shell, and the rest ran away, and then they were forced to go up the city wall by the law enforcement team.

Although the city wall is very wide, the accuracy of the artillery is not enough, it is difficult to hit the people burning oil.

But the 53 cannons fired in bursts, let alone ordinary soldiers, even the Eight Banners soldiers could not withstand it, the psychological pressure was too great.

Meng Xiongbi walked over to see that the oil in the pot hadn't smoked yet.

It takes time to boil a pot of oil.

Meng Xiongbi's uncle (and adoptive father) is Meng Qiaofang. His ancestors followed Zhu Dijing to great merit, and he has since become a hereditary general in Yongpingwei.

Meng Qiaofang's father even went as far as the governor of Ming Ningxia.

But this guy, who was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty 11 years ago, is no different from Sun Dingliao.

Meng Xiongbi left the frying pan, leaned on the parapet and shouted, "Get ready to throw rolling stones and fallen logs!"

But the city walls on both sides of the gap were also pushed by ladders.

The soldiers were standing behind the baffle, using the winch to release the ladder, and as long as the grapple hook was fastened to the parapet, they could climb up the ladder and attack the city.

Sun Dingliao's Wuzhenchao Ha Battalion crouched on the incomplete city wall, not only to avoid the possible firecrackers from the enemy, but also to push away the wooden planks set up by the Datong army as soon as possible.

However, the Datong gunfire soldiers did not appear, and the melee soldiers did not build a slope with wooden planks.

Hundreds of grenadiers hid on the steps behind the baffle, which belonged to the firing position of the Qing Dynasty chariot.The chariots of the Datong Army had no shooting holes, and only quietly hid grenadiers, throwing tens of thousands of enemies towards the incomplete city wall.

"Boom boom boom!"

A burst of explosions sounded, and Wu Zhenchao Ha Ying, who was defenseless, was blown to pieces by the bomb.

Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, the Datong melee soldiers carried wooden boards several meters long and put them on the incomplete city wall one by one.

Three hundred armored warriors, holding a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, rushed forward along the slope made of wooden boards.

Zhu Youdong rushed to the front, and when he heard the name, he was the clan of the Ming Dynasty.His ancestor was the seventh son of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi.But his grandfather was just a little Lieutenant Feng Guo.

Lieutenant Fengguo's annual salary is 200 Shimi, [-]% of which is in grain and [-]% is converted into silver.

If money and food can be provided enough, life is still passable, at least there is no need to worry about starvation.However, the salary of the clan was collected by local civil officials in the fields, and then handed over to the local vassals for distribution.After layers of deduction, most of the heads were snatched away by the vassal king, and the little Lieutenant Feng Guo still had to go hungry.

Zhu Youdong has grown strong since he was a child, as if he was reincarnated from a rice bucket, and he often made the family run out of food.

Later, he ran out of food because the peasants rebelled and killed his father and two older brothers. He fled with his mother, younger brother and younger sister.Finally, the officers and soldiers suppressed the rebels, and they returned to the original house, only to encounter rebels every two years.

Zhu Youdong simply voted for the Datong Army.

Today, he is the captain of the personal guard of Emperor Datong Zhao Han!

Zhu Youdong is a full 1.8 meters tall, and his plate armor has wasted a lot of materials.Stepping on the wooden plank and rushing up to the incomplete city wall, where the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared, he knocked down one person with his shield, and then chopped down another person with his sword.

He was not hacked to death, the opponent was wearing cotton armor.

"Dangdangdang!"

Three enemies surrounded Zhu Youdong and hacked, and the blade hit sparks on the surface of the plate armor.

Zhu Youdong's arm was so strong that he pushed up the shield and overturned one person, and swiped out again with the sword in his right hand, this time hitting the opponent's neck.

Zhu Youdong didn't want to kill many enemies, he charged forward with his shield, and killing people was incidental.His task is to disrupt the enemy's formation, let more friendly troops rush up, and completely occupy this gap in the city wall.

Bombed to pieces by tens of thousands of enemies, and charged by three hundred armored soldiers, Sun Dingliao's Wuzhenchaoha heavy infantry lost their organization in the blink of an eye.The timid and fearful of death turned around and fled, and the brave and brave resisted stubbornly, and they could no longer control this section of the city wall.

The rattan players and spearmen of the Datong Army rushed up one after another, forming an array to assist the plate armor warriors in the charge.

The Grenadier also rushed up, still holding Ten Thousand Enemy in his hands, Huo Zhezi biting his teeth, ready to ignite the fuse at any time.

"Pour hot oil!"

Seeing that the friendly army lost control of the gap in the city wall, Meng Xiongbi ordered to pour down the unboiled hot oil.

"what!!!"

Two plate armor warriors, a dozen rattan players and spearmen were drenched in hot oil, and one unlucky Wu Zhenchao Ha Bing was also hit.

"set fire!"

Under Meng Xiongbi's order, the Qing army threw down a lot of dry grass soaked in oil, took out firewood from the bottom of the pot, and threw it down indiscriminately.

The grenadiers quickly retreated and ran away, fearing that they would be ignited by thousands of enemies.

Fortunately, Meng Xiongbi's section of the city wall was also being attacked, and there were gunfire soldiers reloading bombs. The scene was in a mess, and the hot oil and dead grass were not prepared enough due to the shelling.Otherwise, this place will be burned into a sea of ​​flames.

Even so, there were still several Datong soldiers whose clothes were ignited, as well as the firewood and hot oil on the ground.

It's not gasoline, it doesn't burn fast, and there is still a chance to smack the life on your body.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

One after another, there were gunfire soldiers from the Qing army. After reloading their ammunition, they fired condescendingly towards the gap. More than 50 Datong soldiers who were rushing to kill fell down.

"Oh!"

"what!"

I don't know if it was filled with too much gunpowder, or the quality of the firecrackers was worrying, and two consecutive Qing army firecrackers exploded.

On the ladder, thirty or forty Datong soldiers fell one after another, all of them were hit by stones and rolling logs.Xiong Wancheng, wearing two pairs of cotton armor and holding a rattan badge in his hand, quickly climbed up the ten-meter-long ladder.

Climbing up to the female wall, several long spears stabbed at him. Xiong Wan took advantage of his short body to dodge, and simply threw away the rattan badge.When he was climbing again, several spears stabbed at him again. He reached out and grabbed one, and pulled it down forcefully.The opponent leaned forward to stab, and was caught off guard by Xiong Wancheng who pulled him out of the parapet.

The two collided into a ball, rolled down the ladder, and knocked down several Datong soldiers one after another.

After falling more than ten meters high, Xiong Wancheng survived and stood up on the spot.On the contrary, the Qing army dragged down by him, and the friendly army who was smashed in the rear, were already dying.

"kill!"

Xiong Wancheng shook his head, climbed the ladder again and rushed up.

Zhu Youdong had already rushed through the gap, and three hundred plate armor warriors crashed into the enemy formation in the city together.Even the two plate armor warriors who were scalded by the hot oil were still charging with their burns because the hot oil was far from boiling and they were protected by plate armor and protective clothing.

The enemy here is not Wuzhenchao Haying, but relatively elite infantry.

Facing [-] iron men rushing into battle, I started to get scared before even fighting.There was a crisp sound of jingling, and it was impossible to break through the plate armor defense.

They have no experience in dealing with plate armor, even if a plate armor fighter falls down, they don't know how to lift their visors and poke their eyes.

In their view, this is a group of invincible steel monsters.

"Run away!"

There are more than 2000 densely packed enemy troops, they are really considered elite, otherwise they would not be sent to plug the gap.However, when three hundred armored warriors rushed into the formation and killed them, the more than 2000 people quickly collapsed mentally.

More and more Datong melee soldiers rushed in through the gap, following the plate armored warriors.They rushed up the city wall through the ramp in the city, formed a formation to kill the defending troops, and let the enemy defending the city suffer from the enemy.

Xiong Wancheng, who was climbing the ladder, suddenly felt a sudden drop in pressure.He struggled to get injured and climbed over the female wall, raised his knife to charge and chop, and soon a few friendly soldiers climbed up behind him.

The Qing army in this section of the city wall was also defeated!

"Quick, get up there... don't run away!"

Tong Yangjia yelled and yelled, but he also ran away.

Chapter 426 [Dorgon Withdrawal]

How could Tong Yangjia escape? The Datong Army not only had 5000 dragoons, but also 5000 Xiao cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng.

There are ten thousand cavalry alone!

This guy took a few coated servants and fled from the north gate on horseback. Before he could cross the moat, he saw hundreds of cavalry besieged and killed him.

Tong Yangjia hurried back to the city again, he didn't dare to run around the city wall, because apart from the north wall, there were a large number of enemy troops attacking the city on all three sides.

When the gap in the city wall was occupied by the Datong Army, the walls on both sides were also taken by the Datong Army.Then they rushed along the city wall and helped the friendly troops who were climbing the ladder to climb the city. The defenders were hard to resist, and one section after another of the city wall was broken.

The morale of the defenders collapsed and they began to flee in large numbers.

There were also some defending generals who led their troops to kneel down and surrender.But they are not defected. If they fight to this extent, even if they surrender, they will be classified as prisoners of war.

Tens of thousands of routs fled towards the north gate. Tong Yangjia was stopped by the routs, so he had to turn his horse around again and try to escape from the north again.

Lu Xiangsheng led the Xiao cavalry to charge outside the northern city. After cutting down several people with his own hands, the thousands of defeated soldiers in front of them all knelt down.He immediately rode his horse and rushed to another city gate. Tong Yangjia was too conspicuous on the horse, so Lu Xiangsheng went straight to this guy.

Tong Yangjia was so frightened that he turned again and collided with the rout of the wolf-running mouse. After knocking down the two of them one after another, the horse lost its speed completely.

Lu Xiangsheng led the cavalry to gallop there, and the defeated soldiers who had already surrendered on their knees, afraid of being trampled by the cavalry, scrambled and rushed towards the base of the wall.

"Forgive me!"

Tong Yangjia cried out in horror.

Lu Xiangsheng ran to his side and shouted, "Get off your horse, kneel down and surrender!"

Tong Yangjia quickly got off his horse and knelt on the ground obediently: "I have important military information to tell you, please see His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!"

Lu Xiangsheng ordered: "Tie it up."

On the city wall, Meng Xiongbi fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. Not far away was the overturned hot gold juice.He only felt nauseated, suppressed the nausea, and opened his eyes to peek around.

Seeing that the surrounding enemy troops had already run away, Meng Xiongbi immediately took off his armor, trying to disguise himself as an ordinary soldier.

"There's a Tartar official over there!"

However, all the defenders at each section of the city wall fled, and some Datong troops came back to occupy the city wall.

Meng Xiongbi was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly left the city wall along the slope.Just after escaping, Meng Xiongbi encountered a group of civilian husbands entering the city, turned his head and ran into the streets.

The peasants were inexplicably excited, hundreds of people shouted and chased him, and finally blocked him in an alleyway.

"Don't kill me, I'm Han!" Meng Xiongbi knelt down and shouted.

The peasants were laughing and laughing. Since there was no rope, they untied their belts one after another and tied Meng Xiongbi up.

Sun Dingliao hid in a residential house, most of the people in the city had been evicted long ago, and there was no one in this big house.He found some clothes, took off his armor and put them on, and then cut his braids, but unfortunately he couldn't finish cutting off the back of his head.

In the middle of the afternoon, a group of Datong soldiers came in to search. Sun Dingliao first threw the armor into the well, and then went down carefully himself.

"vomit!"

Sun Dingliao retched for a while.

There was a dead body floating in the well. It was the Qing army expelling the people and insulting the women. A woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the well to keep her virginity.

He has been dead for more than ten days, and has long been soaked in well water to become a giant, and his belly is bulging like a pregnant woman who is pregnant in October.

Sun Dingliao stomped the belly of the corpse, and all the viscera and filth poured out. He couldn't bear the stench.

"There is someone in the well!"

A Datong soldier shouted.

The crowd gathered around the well, and they poked into the well to check, but they were so smoked that they retracted their heads in an instant.

"vomit!"

Several soldiers vomited all over the ground by the well.

The leader of the team wiped his mouth after throwing up, and said, "Throw a rope and pull people up. Let the folks come over to clean the well, and then put up a sign. Don't drink the well water during this time."

……

Zhao Han moved the headquarters to the government office in the city, and three hundred plate armor soldiers have returned.
