~~~~~~

At this time, at the top of Haizhou City, Li Yuanqing was just about to go to sleep. The sudden thunder, like a cracking earth and a landslide, made him suddenly jump out of his simple bedclothes.

Next to him, Chen Zhong, who was sleeping soundly and snoring, suddenly woke up from his dream, turned over and sat up, "Yuan Qing, what happened?"

Li Yuanqing's face was gloomy.

He had made countless calculations and considered various ways that the Jin army might use to attack the city, but he never dreamed that God would play such a big joke on him.

Just when the Jin army was about to attack the city, it started to rain, and it was such a heavy rain...

"Brother, the situation is not good. Come on, let's go out and take a look."

With that said, Li Yuanqing took the lead and strode out of the city gate building.

Chen Zhong also reacted, quickly picked up his saber, and rushed out of the door.

At this time, the rain was already very heavy, and the crackling was like pouring beans. Even with the light of torches, the visibility suddenly became extremely low, and you could only see seven or eight steps away.

As soon as Li Yuanqing reached the steps of the city gate, a messenger came over and reported: "General, the Tatars have begun to fill the river. They are going to attack the city!"

"What a fool! Let's go!"

Li Yuanqing spat hard and strode up the steps.

Chen Zhong also rushed over and couldn't help but point at the sky and cursed: "God, you don't have eyesight! Aren't you helping the evildoers!"

Listening to Chen Zhong cursing behind him, Li Yuanqing became calmer.

Things have already happened. Even if you scold all the eighteen generations of the old slave's ancestors, nothing will be solved.

The only thing that can be done now is to deal with it calmly.

When they came to the top of the city, the soldiers on duty here were also a little panicked. The heavy rain was so heavy that they couldn't fire their cannons. Even though the Tatar's figure was just a dozen steps away from the city, he was desperately trying to get into the moat.

They filled the bags with sand and earth, but there was nothing they could do.

"General, the Tatars are very fast. With the current situation, I'm afraid they will be able to fill up the moat in a while."

"General, there are Tatars filling the river one mile to the north."

"General, there are Tatars filling the river half a mile south."

"General..."

Soon, more and more messengers quickly conveyed the surrounding information to Li Yuanqing's location near the city gate building.

Chen Zhong was already a little anxious, and he didn't care about the heavy rain. He quickly came to Li Yuanqing and shouted: "Yuan Qing, the rain is too heavy. Firearms must not work. Can the spearmen

The soldiers and sword and shield soldiers went up first and blocked several points where the Tatars were bulldozing. The rain will definitely get heavier and heavier, and the Tatars' filling of the river cannot be too stable. Let's put a group up and kill a group of them!"

Li Yuanqing nodded vigorously and shouted: "Let Duan Xiliang guard the north, and I will keep an eye on him! If there is anything wrong, let him raise his head to see me! Xu Heizi, Shunzi!"

Xu Heizi and Shunzi were not far away and hurried over, "General."

Li Yuanqing originally wanted Shunzi to stare at the southern section of the city wall, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea and shouted to Xu Heizi: "Heizi, I will leave the south to you! I will bear it even if I die!"

"

Everyone has been soaked in the rain.

Xu Heizi has followed Li Yuanqing for so long, but has he ever been in such a mess? He shouted hurriedly: "General, don't worry, the city is alive and the people are there, but the city is dead and the people are dead! These dog Tatars have turned the world upside down! Brothers, follow me.

Walk!"

"Yes!" Dozens of soldiers from the 3000 Corps hurriedly followed Xu Heizi and rushed south.

"Shunzi!" Li Yuanqing shouted.

"Here you are!" Shunzi was also a little anxious, but Li Yuanqing didn't say anything and he didn't dare to do anything. He could only wait here.

"Hurry up and bring people to prop up the hanging house, and let the blunderbuss soldiers attach themselves to the bottom of the hanging house. Let's see how many blunderbuss can still be used! You're going to fuck me like a fool!"

"Yes!" Shunzi also reacted and hurriedly called the soldiers, who called the soldiers and began to clean up the hanging households on the top of the city.

The hanging quilts are made of broken quilts, sewn with various broken animal skins, cowhide and other resistant materials. How strong can they be?

It's a pity that most of these hanging houses have many holes, but there is nothing that can be done about it. They are defense tools in themselves...

At this time, although the rain-proof effect of the hanging door is not very good, and it is extremely heavy after being soaked by the rain, it is the only way to prevent rain on the city.

None of the cannon soldiers dared to neglect, and they hurriedly tried their best to prop up the hanging household and hide under it to see whose cannon was more effective.

Following Li Yuanqing's loud shouts, instructions were quickly passed down, and the city top, which was originally a bit erratic, became slightly more stable.

Chen Zhong also shouted loudly, summoning his sword, shield, and spear soldiers to come forward to fill the vacancies left by the Changsheng Camp's soldiers. The Bird Gun soldiers also helped the Bird Gun soldiers of the Changsheng Camp to support the hanging households.

Not long after, Shunzi hurried to Li Yuanqing's side, "General, there are still two to three hundred muskets that can be used. Where should we arrange them?"

Li Yuanqing's brows furrowed tightly.

On this side of the city, there are more than 2,000 musketry soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion, but at this time, there are only so many muskets available. This is really...

Relying too much on firearms, especially matchlocks, does have fatal drawbacks.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered Sun Chengzong's words, "Yuanqing, I'm not worried about anything else. It's just that your journey has been so smooth..."

The key is that if the hanging household is propped up, it will inevitably take up a lot of space. The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers will not have enough space to play. They can only place the firepower of these treasures on both sides of the Houjin Army's landing point to occupy the landing point space.

Give up the area.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly shouted the arrangement into Shunzi's ear, and Shunzi hurriedly went to work.

At this time, the moat not far below him had been cut off by the Hou Jin Army.

The water in Haizhou City's moat is flowing. It is difficult to fill in the river at first. But once a section is intercepted and the river is blocked, filling in other parts of the river becomes easy.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but spat fiercely: "Yuan Qing, the dog's speed is very fast! We can no longer be stingy with firepower!"

Li Yuanqing nodded solemnly, "Come here, order the gun soldiers to fire at full speed. Don't let them rush over so smoothly!"

"yes!"

The ordering soldiers hurried forward to deliver the order.

Soon, the "bang bang bang" sound of bird cannons started to sound. However, with less than three hundred bird cannons, it was obviously impossible to form a large scale, and the sound was fragmented, which made people feel unconfident.

Moreover, coupled with such heavy rain, not only the accuracy of the blunderbuss projectiles was lost, but the power was also greatly reduced.

These Hou Jin troops in front were basically double-armor or even triple-armor elites. Their bodies had already been soaked by the heavy rain, which invisibly added a lot of protection.

Unless it hits a vital point, it is difficult for the bird cannon to cause direct damage to them.

Not far under the city wall, Amin was personally supervising the battle. He soon discovered the situation and couldn't help laughing: "Warriors, charge, charge! Ming Gouzi's blunderbuss is not easy to use! Now it's still

Why not burn a fire stick! Hurry!! Charge forward! Capture this thief Li Yuanqing alive!"

The morale of the Jin army behind the city was greatly boosted.

They had been preparing for a long time, and each of them had been recharging their energy for a long time. Even though their bodies were heavy after being soaked by the heavy rain, they roared like wild beasts, followed the newly built fulcrum, set up the ladder, and headed towards it desperately.

Rush over the city.

Chen Zhong could no longer bear it and went there to supervise the battle in person. He shouted loudly and asked the spearmen to suppress the Tatars who were charging into the city.

But the heavy rain was so heavy that not only the vision was not good, but the bodies of the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were also soaked by the heavy rain, which made them a lot heavier invisibly. It was obviously difficult to form the cooperation that was like flowing clouds and flowing water before.

Achieved.

At this time, one can only rely on one's own blood and courage.

These Tatars were all elite and very fast. Before long, a dozen of them had rushed to the top of the city and were entangled with the defending Ming army.

The heavy rain soaked the clothes of both sides, and the visibility was not good. The clothes were wet and stuck to their bodies. They could only judge the enemy or friend based on their hairstyle, weapons, and sounds.

For a time, the entire city was in chaos.

Li Yuanqing became calmer and calmer at this time.

‘Be calm in every big event’. This has always been Li Yuanqing’s motto.

In this state, even hand grenades are useless.

The main reason is that the completion of the grenade explosion requires a process of burning the fuse, but the heavy rain is really too heavy, and many hanging houses have begun to leak, which requires the shooters to control the precise time of one to two seconds.

But at this time, the craftsmanship of the grenade obviously cannot be so precise. If it causes accidental damage, it is not a joke.

The key is that there are already Tatars rushing up, and the pitchers cannot complete accurate throws at all.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled coldly.

At this point, he couldn't have too many reservations.

His precious kerosene had no choice but to go into battle in advance.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to gather the Tatars in a normal state and create a burning~ rain of bullets, burning the money rat braids.

But at this time, the weather was too bad, and the Jin army seized this opportunity. Li Yuanqing could only choose to separate the two armies first, suppressing the momentum of the Jin army, and at the same time, allowing the Ming army to have more opportunities.

More reaction time.

"Come here, put on the kerosene! Hurry! Don't be stingy! Bring them all up for me." Li Yuanqing shouted loudly to the messengers around him.

"yes."
