Amid the loud horns, the towering siege cars were getting closer and closer to the top of Jining City. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were able to clearly see the ferocious faces of the Tartar soldiers. An officer licked his cracked lips and turned to ask Scarface, "General, the Tartar soldiers have entered the range, can they fight?"

“Wait a little longer.”

Scarface waved his hand with a serious expression.

The hit rate of the musket is that the closer the distance, the higher the hit rate and the greater the lethality. If you shoot two hundred steps away, you can certainly kill the Tartar soldiers, but the hit rate will be very low and the killing effect will be very limited. There are 20,000 or 30,000 Tartar soldiers outside the city, and the Central Army does not have so much ammunition to consume.

"Hey drink...hey drink..."

The horns of the Tartar soldiers became more and more rapid, and the siege cars moving slowly began to accelerate. In a flash, they had already entered a hundred steps. This distance was already within the attack range of the Tartar archers. Duoduo and Man Zhu Xili, who were watching the battle in the distance, were a little confused at the same time. What was the Ming army doing?

There were 4,000 Tartar soldiers who attacked the north gate of Jining this time. They soon divided up two thousand Tartar soldiers into scattered shooting formations and began to pull their bows and arrows to shoot arrows at the top of the city. In an instant, a tent of wolf-toothed arrow poured out like dense raindrops on the top of the city of Jining. The officers and soldiers of the Central Army on the top of the city quickly raised the door panels prepared in advance.

Scar face also shrank and hid under a thick door panel. The sound of sharp arrows piercing into the wooden board was endless. In less than a moment, the door panels used to block arrows were already filled with feather arrows moving in the wind. From a distance, it looked like these door panels suddenly had needles growing, which was spectacular.

The Tartar archers' rain of arrows lasted for about a stick of incense and stopped, because at this time the Tartar soldiers responsible for siege had rushed under the city wall, and thirty siege cars had crossed the moat along the horizontal ladder, approaching the city wall, and the suspended suspension bridge above the battlements was slowly descending.

The city was filled with suffocating depression. One hundred and fifty musketeers held their breath and focused their minds. They raised the muskets in their hands and aimed at the thirty siege cars. The black muzzles emitted a heart-pounding light, like the eyes of a demon. There were also three hundred musketeers lined up on the city tower with indifferent expressions, waiting for shooting.

The siege cart was crowded with more than a dozen Tartar soldiers. These siege soldiers were all warriors from a hundred. They were all strong and fierce. They were not scimitars, but sabers! The heavy breathing sounds of the Tartar soldiers intertwined in the narrow space, and the strong murderous intent filled the room!

"Gaga...gum!"

The suspension bridge of the siege car suddenly stopped when it was lowered in half, just like that.

Because the suspension bridge blocked the view, the Ming army on the top of the city could not see the Tartar soldiers in the room, and the Tartar soldiers in the room could not see the Ming army on the top of the city. However, the Ming army soldiers and the Tartar soldiers knew that the last moment was about to come, and this would be a life-and-death battle and a bloody battle!

"Bang bang bang..."

The suspension bridge suddenly fell down and was heavily placed on the balustrade, and a small piece of smoke and dust rose. Before the suspension bridge finally stopped, the Tartar soldiers crowded in the room rushed out like sharp arrows. The Tartar soldiers who rushed out of the room had a ferocious expression and stared fiercely at the Ming army soldiers on the top of the city, like wild beasts that chose people to eat.

"Open fire!"

At this moment, a cold and harsh voice resounded across the Jining city.

"Boom boom boom..."

A ball of dazzling red light flashed, and violent gunfire sounded immediately. The Tartar soldiers who were rushing toward the city on the suspension bridge immediately fell down like a leaf defeated in the wind. Due to the close distance, the Ming army's musket team loaded with loose pieces, and the barrage formed by countless iron sand did not have any shooting dead spots at all. All the Tartar soldiers who snatched the suspension bridge were shot.

Amid the tragic wailing, the Tartar soldiers fell from a height of more than ten meters. Even if they were not killed by the sparrowed corps shot out by the Ming army's muskets, they should have fallen seriously.

In this era, in this cruel era of cold weapons, serious injury on the battlefield means death. Even if you are rescued by your companions, you still cannot escape the fate of death. There is no field hospital at this time, and the medical skills of the military witch doctor are even more terrible. It is impossible to rely on them to save thousands, or even tens of thousands of wounded soldiers.

In less than a moment, the first group of more than 300 Tartar soldiers who launched the attack on the thirty siege cars had already suffered casualties. Only a dozen Tartar soldiers barely rushed to the dove, but were stabbed into a sieve by the strong spears of the Ming army and civilians. However, the thirty siege cars still set up thirty thrusters between the city and the ground.

On a small hill in the distance.

Man Zhu Xili beat the climax and said: "Okay! Although the first attack failed, none of the thirty siege cars were damaged. With these thirty channels, the Mongolian warriors kept killing the city heads. How many Southern Ming barbarians could there be on the city heads? Even if they were looking for one life, they could be destroyed!"

Duoduo on the side was also a little confused. He didn't expect that thirty siege cars would approach the city wall so easily. Even if the Ming army did not have red barbarian cannons, don't they still have Dragon King cannons? They can use Dragon King cannons to explode. Even if they can't blow up the siege cars, at least they can hurt the Mongolian soldiers crowded under the siege cars, right?

But soon, Duoduo knew why the Ming army did not use the Dragon King cannon to bomb the siege car. Man Zhu Xili on one side could not be happy, and the excitement on his face was gradually replaced by shock and shock.

The reason why the Ming army did not use the Dragon King cannon to blow up the siege cars is very simple, because as long as there are siege cars, the Tatars will no longer attack the city through simple ladders, but will choose siege cars with higher "safety" to kill the city. Therefore, the Ming army only needs to block thirty siege cars to block the attack of the Tatars.

This is the same as when Wang Pu deliberately let the Tartar soldiers explode a gap in the city wall during the Battle of Datong.

The siege car seemed powerful, but in fact it was the biggest weakness of the Tartar soldiers. The Scarface followed Wang Pu Rijiu and learned some of the tactical essences of Wang Pu. The Mongolian Tartars suffered a great loss! In less than half an hour, more than half of the two thousand Tartar soldiers who were involved in the siege were injured or killed.

The remaining Tartar soldiers finally lost the courage to continue attacking and threw down the siege car and ran away.

The Tartar archers who were a hundred steps away finally shot several retaliatory waves of arrows at the head of the city, but their lethality was very limited. Only a few Minzhuang were shot to death because of negligence and negligence to raise the door panel to block the arrow.

Man Zhu Xili was furious and furious. He couldn't accept this result, especially in front of Duoduo!

"Go." Man Zhu Xili turned around and shouted fiercely to the messenger behind him, "I will send you the order of the king and send five thousand-man teams up. This time, I will break Jining City no matter what!"

"twitter!"

The messenger responded with a loud promise and took the order.

Suddenly, the low sound of the horns rose again, and the Mongolian Tartars arranged in the distance made movement again. More Tartar soldiers separated from the formation and slowly advanced towards Jining City in scattered formations.

Jining city.

Scarface's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Be good, five thousand people were dispatched to attack the city at one time? The Tatar soldiers are going to fight to the death! It's really weird. The advantage of the Tatar soldiers is that they are fighting in field cavalry, and siege in infantry has never been their strength. Did Dorgon burn his brain? Or did he think that he had too many cavalry under his command and could not afford it?"

An officer echoed: "I heard that Jiannu outside the pass likes to drink soju. Dorgon probably drank too much and burned his brain."

"This is evil." Scarface shook his head and said in a narrow voice, "It seems that the Tartar soldiers are really planning to fight their best. I will notify Ma Gan, He Mazi, Wang Huzi and others immediately, so that they can pay attention to saving ammunition and try to put the Tartar soldiers closer before attacking! His grandmother, if he doesn't save a little, as he fights today, all the ammunition will be exhausted in less than two days. At that time, the brothers will have to use bayonets and Tartar soldiers to compete with each other."

The messenger took the order and left.

As Scarface worried, Ma Gan, He Mazi and Wang Huzi had no intention of saving ammunition at all. The Tartar soldiers had just entered a distance of 200 steps, and the musket team on the top of the city began to fire. As a result, the battle was lively and consumed more ammunition, and the total number of Tartar soldiers was less than 2,000.

In the afternoon, Scarface was forced to blow up the thirty siege cars.

Because the Tartar soldiers learned their lessons, they sent people to attack from the siege cars, and set up simple ladders to capture the city. The Central Army could take care of this but not that side. They almost let the Tartar soldiers rush to the top of the city. In the end, they had no choice but to order the siege cars to use the cluster Dragon King cannon to blow up the siege cars.

The sun sets and the sky finally darkens.

Amid the endless sound of the horns, the Tartar soldiers began to depress and retreated. The Tartar archers a hundred steps away shot the last few arrows towards the city tower, and also retreated. The shouts of the soldiers of the two armies, the dense gunshots, the explosion of the Dragon King cannon, and the sharp arrows flew across the sky. When the roar stopped abruptly.

The autumn wind is blew, blowing away the smoke and bloody smell of the air.

The noisy battlefield finally fell silent. Except for the wounded Tartar soldiers lying under the city walls, there were no other sounds on the battlefield.

In Jining City, the general is heading.

Scarface, Ma Gan, Wang Huzi, and He Mazi were relatively silent. Just now, Ma Gan and the others had reported the battle situation of each sect to Scarface. Because of the benefits of muskets, there were no major casualties in each sect. The veterans had almost no casualties. Only a few veterans were slightly injured when they were arrowed, and Min Zhuang was not seriously injured.

However, the consumption of ammunition is very large, especially the consumption of paper shell ammunition is even greater, which consumes almost one-third of the total ammunition inventory!

After a while, Scarface said with a serious expression: "In other words, we consumed 50,000 bullets and 2,000 Dragon King Cannons one day? At this consumption rate, we will have to fight with the Tartar soldiers in three days!"

Ma Gan said: "If you fight for bayonets, just fight for bayonets. Will our Central Army lose to the Tartar soldiers?"

Scarface said: "Of course the Tartar soldiers are nothing. At best, they are just herders on the grassland. They are good at herding horses and herding sheep. When it comes to fighting and killing people, they are far from it. But have you ever thought about it? This is just the Tartar soldiers, and none of them have appeared yet!"

Ma Gan and the others stopped talking.

Compared with the Mongolian Tartars, Jiannu is more than twice as powerful? The Mongolian Tartars are all herders, but Jiannu is all veterans who have experienced many battles. The Central Army will not gain any advantage in fighting bayonets. Once the ammunition is really exhausted on the Mongolian Tartars, and then Jiannu takes advantage of the situation to attack the city, Jining City will definitely be lost!

Wang Huzi curled his lips and cursed: "The dog-good Jiannu is so cunning. He actually asked the Mongolian Tartars to block the gun."

He Mazi also said: "These Mongolian Tartars are stupid enough, so they are willing to be ordered by Jiannu as animals."

"Okay, stop talking about anything." Scarface said in a deep voice, "Splitting half of the existing ammunition stock is immediately available. You guys will listen to me. This half of the ammunition is reserved specifically for Jiannu. If Jiannu doesn't appear, even if the Tartar soldiers rushed to the top of the city, will they be allowed to use it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly!"

"Boss, don't worry, even if there are no muskets and Dragon King cannons, the Tartar soldiers will still be in the city."

"That's right, if you take a step back, the Tartar soldiers are really going to kill the city. Even if you bite them with your teeth, you will never use the reserved ammunition if you have a dick!"

Ma Gan, Wang Huzi, and He Mazi agreed with a loud promise.

"Yes." Scarface nodded and said in a deep voice, "Also, I will report the situation of Jining City to the Marquis immediately with a letter from Fei Ge to the Marquis. It is a bit strange. I can't tell you what Dorgon is thinking, so I can only report the situation to the Marquis in truth."

Mongolian camp, Duoduo's tent.

Duoduo was in the main position with a calm expression. Chahan, Banktu, Sogar, and Man Zhu Xili sat on both sides, but the expressions on their faces were a little gloomy. In fact, no one in their position would look good. After a fierce battle, there were more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen who suffered casualties!

That's more than 10,000 cavalrymen!

The entire Korqin tribe had only 100,000 cavalry. With such consumption, all the strong men of the entire Korqin tribe should die in the battlefield ten days later. The old, young, women and children who remained on the prairie would inevitably become slaves to other tribes. In this way, the Korqin tribe should also be removed from the prairie.

To be honest, Banktu and the others have begun to regret it now. They regret not being able to boast about Haikou in front of Duoduo, saying that they would conquer Jining at all costs to avenge Sonamu. If they had known that Jining City was so difficult to fight, they would not dare to boast about such Haikou even if they had used their ten courage.
