The remaining Iron Harriers failed to bring any obstacles to the Chinese army. All the guys who dared to continue resisting were stabbed to death by bayonets. The Chinese soldiers rushed towards the east gate directly on the Iron Harriers' body.

At this time, Lingzhou City had lost tens of thousands of defenders, including the most important mobile force Iron Harrier, and its defensive power had dropped to a very dangerous level.

Ye Boma and Renduo Nagai were very worried. Their counterattack failed to play any role, and they could not even shake the enemy without cannons at the East Gate.

Both the Party and the Privy Councilors were fighting old battles, and they could see what this gap in combat power meant - no one without artillery could defeat them, let alone those enemies with hundreds of cannons in the South Gate.

In other words, they could only let the Chinese artillery be ravaged by the willful.

Fortunately, not long after the east gate attack troops collapsed, the Chinese artillery on the south gate also stopped firing - it was not that they could not continue shooting, but that there was no target worth fighting in front of them.

So the Chinese troops in the South Gate began to advance towards the ruined Lingzhou City.

After losing a large number of new forces, the Dangxiang people were unable to compete for the city wall. The two city gates in the southeast (actually only one city gate is left) changed hands almost at the same time, and tens of thousands of Chinese field soldiers entered Lingzhou City.

Ye Boma and Renduo Zhaoqing were still fighting to the death. They built a chest wall in the city 80 steps away from the city gate - using rammed earth walls to connect the more solid buildings, with buildings as support points.

The idea is good, but it makes no sense - something like a chest wall, without strong firepower support, can actually only play the role of a fence.

The Chinese infantry used rifles to suppress the enemy at a distance of 150 steps, and then sent out foreign Soren soldiers wearing three layers of armor (inner cotton armor, outer chain mail, and another piece of breastplate) with explosive bags, facing the sparse counterattack of the Dangxiang people, and approaching the chest wall.

Some of the Party clans stood up from behind the chest wall with flying lead bullets and fired at the dangerous iron armored soldiers with bows and arrows.

However, even if it is a strong bow and heavy arrow, it is very difficult to penetrate three layers of armor. Moreover, the Chinese army's riflemen attacked very accurately. They were in groups of five and shot all Dangxiang people who dared to show their heads. Usually one person could succeed.

The Sauron soldiers came to the chest wall and piled explosive packs on the edge of the chest wall.

A row of party men stood up suddenly and stabbed the Sorens with spears.

Several Soren's armored soldiers were stabbed, holding the gun in a conditioned manner and screaming loudly.

Then the Chinese army responded to a round of volleys with 200 people participating, and most of the Dangxiang spearmen who were exposed also screamed and disappeared behind the chest wall.

The remaining Sauron soldiers lit the explosive pack and fled back to their own array without looking back.

Boom boom boom boom!

The explosive pack blew the rammed earth city wall, several buildings as support points, and hundreds of Dangxiang defenders all blew up the sky.

The chest defense line, which was highly anticipated, was actually collapsed. The Sauron soldiers returned again as the cold weapon vanguard of the Chinese army. They waved their big swords and heavy axes, like a whirlwind blowing into the group of Dangxiang who was shaken by explosives, and slashed violently.

...

Fifty miles north of Lingzhou City, a Dangxiang Army with a total of 50,000 people was approaching Lingzhou.

This is the new force of Commander Mozang Epang, composed of the main force of the collectors and some troops from Wei Mingjia. Li Qianshun also knew the importance of Lingzhou, so Wei Mingjia could not shrink behind him this time, and he had to come up with his old deeds.

However, in order to ensure that the cold weapon troops can enter the battle after they arrive on the battlefield, they must rest regularly for a period of time to preserve their physical strength, and it is impossible for them to maintain a marching state for a long time.

Therefore, they still need at least three hours to reach a distance of fifty miles.

...

On the other hand, further south of Lingzhou City, the iron kracks led by Wei Mingrongli surrounded a convoy of Chinese troops to transport ammunition supplies to the front as they wished - a total of more than 500 large oxen chariots, and there were about 2,000 guards and drivers.

If two thousand armored cavalry were used to deal with two thousand coachmen and logistics troops, if it were in the past, the logistics troops would probably collapse at the moment when the cavalry appeared.

However, the Chinese army's reaction was different from ordinary people. When they saw the iron kite, everyone acted quickly and surrounded the large cart with thick carriages into a circular defense line. All the cattle, horses and mules were concentrated in the middle of the carriage array, and some people put on felts for arrows.

It took only a few minutes for the five hundred large trucks to transform from a marching force into a wooden fortress.

Wei Ming Rongli was shocked by this look: "It's too fast, it's too late."

He originally wanted to rush over directly, cut off the panicked logistics soldiers, took away the cattle, horses and mules, burned all the food and ammunition supplies, and then attacked the second enemy.

However, in this situation, it was supposed to be a move to deal with the enemy's auxiliary soldiers and directly evolved into a siege... Not to mention the next wave of Chinese troops' transportation teams, it would be good if this team could be defeated now.

"Sir, what should I do?" the deputy general shouted angrily: "This has become a siege!"

"We have to fight even if we attack the city." Wei Ming Rongli turned around immediately and looked at the direction of Lingzhou City behind him: "We can't defend it there anymore. If we don't take action, this time it's like we've done nothing."

"And if we don't fight this time, what should we do if the next team will change quickly into a car array?"

I dare not bet on the next transportation team that will react slowly, and I can’t bet like this, so I have to fight.

"Go!" Wei Mingrong Rongli's eyes became firmer: "You take the lead, we must eat this convoy!"

"Yes!" The deputy general gritted his teeth and agreed: "I will definitely break through that car formation!"

"Tell the entire army that if we capture this chariot formation, each person will reward one cattle, and the land will be fifty acres. Whoever dares to retreat, will I kill his whole family!"

...

"The Tartars are here!"

The Mercedes-Benz Iron Harrier could hear the shouts of the Han people in the car array, but unfortunately, there was no panic in the shouts.

This made the deputy general Iron Harrier who took the lead in charge feel a little frustrated. If the enemy infantry behind the strong fortifications have the will to fight, then the pure cavalry unit will have to pay a considerable price even if it can win.

The deputy general thinks that many people may not be able to get the rewards that Wei Ming Rongli promised.

Just as he was thinking, a crisp gunshot burst into a round car formation. A lead bullet flew past the deputy general's face, took his helmet away, and cut a deep bloody mouth on his right face.

"Why do the auxiliary soldiers have so many muskets?" The deputy general couldn't help but scream.

The answer to him was another round of muskets, and the iron kites fell down together.

For the Iron Harriers, the only thing that is fortunate is that the current logistics soldiers have few guns in their hands, and most of them are equipped with flints.
