Under normal circumstances, Wanyan Zongwang should be standing in the tower, and it is impossible for any Han soldiers to approach him.

But the city tower had been destroyed by artillery fire a few days ago.

Wanyan Zongwang only had more than 20 soldiers around him. Faced with the siege of two to three hundred people led by Zhang Di, he was still able to fight back.

On the one hand, these golden soldiers are top elites, but on the other hand, it also shows that Zhang Di's soldiers are too weak. Although they are all rebels who crawled out of the dead, their armor has always been leather armor, and only a few bosses can wear it.

armor.

More of Zhang Di's soldiers were placed under the horse path and were arranged to serve as a reserve team.

Jin soldiers from both sides came to attack, Zhang Di was attacked from both sides, and nearly half of the more than 200 soldiers around him were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.

However, there were large numbers of Ming troops nearby, and they continued to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were hiding behind the parapet wall took the opportunity to carry out many flying ladders and set them up at multiple places next to the friendly troops' landing point to climb simultaneously.

The southern wall of Guocheng, a section on the east side near the Wengcheng, was about twenty meters long, and was soon completely occupied by the Ming army.

Four Ming armies formed a long spear formation and stabbed repeatedly toward the east.

The Jin soldiers' reserve team here all rushed to rescue Wanyan Zongwang. The Jin soldiers guarding the female wall had to deal with the Ming army climbing the ladder and the Ming army's gun formation coming from the side.

Not only were they pushed forward continuously from the side, but several Ming troops successfully climbed onto the city from the front.

What's even more unfortunate is that their commander was killed by a musket!

More and more Jin soldiers turned and fled, rushing towards the place where Wanyan Zongwang was besieged.

Wanyan Zongwang was so horrified that he drew his sword and fought in person. He pressed against the female wall and killed Zhang Di's soldiers horizontally. Then, he immediately got into the golden soldiers farther east and ran to the east city wall before shouting: "Block it up."

enemy!"

The Jin soldiers placed in the city are fighting Zhang Di's Han troops in the city.

Zhang Di's inner-city troops were even weaker. More than 2,000 soldiers were defeated by hundreds of gold soldiers, and they fled towards Beicheng District in a swarm.

After hundreds of melee infantrymen boarded the city, the Ming army's musketeers also began to board the city.

They did not wait for the commander's order, and fired freely at the Jin soldiers who were walking along the horse road to reinforce the city. They also gave priority to the officers, big and small, who targeted the Jin soldiers.

As the Ming army subsequently ascended the city, they quickly occupied the forty- to fifty-meter-long city wall.

Zhang Di was also rescued. He had more than a dozen injuries all over his body and was about to turn into a bloody man. He brought more than 200 soldiers who attacked Wanyan Zongwang. At this time, only sixty or seventy people were dead, and everyone was injured extremely tragically.

.

The reason why these Hebei Han soldiers did not flee was simply because they had stirred up a hornet's nest and were surrounded by people with no place to escape.

Zhang Di was helped over by his cousin Zhang Hao. Just as he was about to say something, the Ming army general who came towards him said, "Good man, let's rest against the wall for now. The military doctor will come after the fight!"

"Thank you." Zhang Di smiled sadly.

Wanyan Zongwang was filled with shock and anger. He was so angry that he lost his composure and yelled: "Block the horse path!"

The horse path is a slope on the inside of the city wall, with a staircase in the middle and smooth ramps on both sides. The smooth ramp can be used to rush horses up to the city wall from inside the city, or it can also be used to push some equipment up. The cavalry can use this thing to rush to the top of the city to fight.

The Ming army has only captured a few dozen meters of the city wall. As long as the horse road is blocked to prevent the Ming army from entering the city, the Jin soldiers defending the city still have a chance to kill the Ming army back.

The Jin soldiers had gone crazy and mobilized all the troops in the city. They ignored the other walls. Anyway, the Ming army had been suppressed in the camp. It was difficult to attack other places except the southern city wall.

The siege war has turned into a positional war!

The fierce battle took place on a small section of the city wall in the south. There were Jin soldiers arrayed on both sides, and the Ming army arrayed in the middle.

Although the Ming army had fewer troops, the Jin soldiers were unable to take advantage of their strength. More Jin soldiers could only stand in the back row and shoot randomly.

The 210 artillery pieces in the Ming army's camp were all aimed at the walls on both sides of the city. If the Jin soldiers outside the city dared to go around and attack the siege position below the city, they would be fired by a large number of artillery fire from 100 meters away.

.

Realizing that a section of the city wall had been lost, Wanyan's mother began to go crazy as she besieged the camp outside.

While he sent a large number of infantry to attack the chariot formation, he also sent four hundred men and Zha Meng'an to blend in. This was to use the iron pagoda's abandoned horses as infantry.

Don't think it's outrageous, Hezha Meng'an often does this.

The most typical example is the first attack on the Song Dynasty. Song general Shi Qi led 2,000 heavy infantry. After all tens of thousands of friendly troops fled, they still lined up and continued fighting. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Talan led 6,000 cavalry and rode repeatedly.

The Jin cavalry, including Hezha Meng'an, all dismounted and fought on foot to annihilate the two thousand Song heavy infantry.

Speaking of this time and space, General Shi Qi has disappeared, and the two thousand heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty under his command have also disappeared.

Perhaps it was when he was in Shaanxi that Gao Qiu generously gave the Bu Renjia to Ju Ming.

"Your Highness, there is something strange happening to the golden soldiers on the east side!"

Ju Ming, who was standing on the high platform, picked up his binoculars and soon saw Hezha Meng'an mixed in with the infantry. Those iron cans were too conspicuous.

Ju Ming ordered: "The Musketeers go over!"

There were only more than 4,000 musketeers who went into the siege, and nearly 2,000 were by Ju Ming's side.

After receiving the order, these musketeers immediately ran out of the camp passage on horseback.

Si Baihe Zha Meng'an, wearing heavy armor and holding iron maces, iron rods and other blunt weapons in his hands, had gathered in a group outside the car formation.

The Ming army's near and far weapons were all ineffective against them.

These guys had already approached the van, smashed the short spears inserted in the van, and sent their hands to untie the iron chains.

Immediately afterwards, they stepped forward and charged forward with the Ming army's spears.

Nearly two thousand musketeers, armed with muskets that had been loaded long ago, dismounted and gathered behind the melee soldiers.

"Raise the gun!"

The Musketeers' herald raised his flag.

The commander of this group of infantry immediately ordered: "Down!"

"Uu uh uh!"

The squad leaders blew their bamboo whistles fiercely.

The Ming soldiers in front crouched down one after another, raised their spears and pointed outwards, with the butt of the spear leaning on the ground and the head of the spear pointing diagonally upward.

Facing the forest of raised guns, Baihe Zhameng'an was still charging forward. Some even held long guns and smashed the Ming army's gun barrels with blunt objects.

"First row, let go!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The bullets flew over the heads of the friendly troops and were fired at Hezha Meng'an less than ten meters away. Some of the bullets even broke the Ming army's gun barrels that were standing at an angle.

"Second row, release!"

After firing a shot, the musketeers in the front row immediately squatted down to reload their ammunition, and the musketeers in the second row fired another volley.

"Third row, let go!"

The unstoppable Sibaihe Zhamengan was shot and fell down one after another, and the few survivors turned around and fled.

The Jin soldiers were horrified, and the elite infantry following Hezha Meng'an were also frightened by the rounds of musket fire and retreated one after another.

"Cavalry pursuit!"

Li Yanxian took the opportunity to detach 500 cavalry, passed through the troop transport channel, and rushed out along the gap in the vehicle formation destroyed by Hezha Meng'an.

The command flag beside Wanyan's mother was waved continuously, and Jin Guobu, a reserve team, rode over to resist, preventing the Ming cavalry from taking the opportunity to overwhelm the entire western front.

The Ming cavalry chased and killed nearly a thousand people. Li Yanxian ordered the trumpets to retreat, and before the Jin cavalry could encircle them, he safely withdrew the 500 cavalry sent out.

"Haha, kill me happily!"

This time it was not Yan Ping who led the cavalry into battle, but Luo Ruming, another cavalry officer under Li Yanxian.

The large formation of carriages was closed again. In front of the formation were the bodies of Si Baihe and Zha Meng'an. Those who were lucky enough not to be shot were also caught up by the Ming army's knights on the way to escape, and they were beaten to death with blunt instruments.

smash.

The battle on the city continues.

Those personal guards who had not changed into the new infantry armor, but also wore heavy armor weighing seventy or eighty kilograms, climbed up the ladder one after another from the section of the city wall occupied by the friendly forces.

Gradually, the main force of the front row of the Ming army became these heavy infantry. The long gunmen hid behind them, and repeatedly poked out through the gaps between the heavy infantry to assist the heavy infantry in attacking.

More Jin soldiers were mobilized, climbed up the city wall from both sides of the Ming army, and formed formations to fight positional warfare.

The musketeers on the city wall, protected by friendly troops on both sides, continued to shoot at the golden soldiers in the city who had not yet climbed up the wall.

But the two hundred musketeers in the watchtower carriage were pushed along with the carriage, slowly advancing towards the fighting areas on both sides. Below them, there were Ming troops pushing the parapet wall to protect them, preventing Jin soldiers from rushing from the base of the city wall.

come over.

Liu Bubai...well, Liu Jizhong loaded up his ammunition and was pushed away in a cart by friendly troops.

When he saw that he had almost arrived at the position, he pulled out the small flag in the car and waved it to the soldier pushing the cart below.

The city wall twenty meters away was so densely packed with enemy troops that Liu Jizhong could hit him with his eyes closed!

Soon his eyes lit up and he saw Yelu Mawu who was conducting.

It is very conspicuous. Not only is the equipment better, but it is also protected by personal soldiers.
