The siege of the new city launched by the Qing army became more and more fierce. Especially after the artillery on the city head cooled down, a large number of Qing soldiers formed a push under the city wall, waiting for the ladder to climb up, and stood a little further away.

The Qing soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows at the Ming troops on the city wall.

Sun Yingyuan watched the Qing army's offensive become more and more fierce. Instead, he smiled and said to the surrounding generals of the Yongwei camp: "The Tatars have spent a lot of money this time. We have almost finished playing, and we have begun to collect."

Headed!"

A guerrilla general in the Yongwei camp understood and said to the messenger beside him: "Prepare grenades!"

As the messenger passed down the order, groups of soldiers came up from the city and carried dozens of large wooden boxes up the city wall.

This group of soldiers distributed grenades to the soldiers defending the city very neatly, and each of them was given a piece of rosin as a gift.

The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion lit the rosin, skillfully lit the fuse of the grenade, and then easily threw it down the city. Some soldiers who were good at showing off did not even look at it, and threw it away from the city wall.

.

In just a few breaths, there was a series of huge explosions under the city, mixed with many screams, and then a large amount of gunpowder smoke rose up, covering the scene under the city wall.

The soldiers in the city continued to light grenades and throw them down. The whole action was done in one go, like setting off firecrackers, with smiles on their faces. They did not stop until each of them had thrown five grenades.

The explosion stopped, but the screams did not. A group of Tatars who had not been killed were either lame or crippled and were lying on the ground holding their wounds and shouting.

The smoke generated by the explosion was so thick that it covered the entire southern part of the new city. The eyes could only see four or five steps away, and some clever Qing soldiers took advantage of the smoke to sneak up.

But what made them feel desperate was that there were already Ming soldiers at the top of the city who were staring at them with spears or firecrackers and laughing. After laughing, they took action without mercy...

In the main formation of the Qing army, when they heard a series of explosions and saw the entire city wall covered in thick smoke, Yangguli, Bo and Tuo looked at each other, and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Zhu Cixiang, who was drinking tea on the Drum Tower, couldn't help but smile when he heard the movement at the south gate. Do these stupid Tatars really think that I'm afraid of them so they're defending the city? I hope you won't retreat too quickly!

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the scene beside the city wall gradually became clearer. The soldiers of the new battalion discovered that under the city wall, there were corpses lying in various directions, at least two to three thousand.

Some of the ladder trucks used by the Qing army to attack the city were blown into pieces, and some were set on fire. Almost half of them were destroyed. Although there were still some desperate Qing soldiers who still attacked the city, they were also lost.

courage.

Looking at the corpses of Qing soldiers piled up under the city wall from a distance, Yang Guli's blood was dripping. This was not the first time he had suffered a loss from this thing. Many of the soldiers who died in battle were Manchu warriors.

Already.

"Sir, why don't we withdraw?" Bo He asked. The losses in this siege were so heavy that even he, an outsider, couldn't stand it anymore.

Yang Guli said: "The city will be broken today. If I don't seal the sword for ten days after breaking the city, I will kill them all without leaving any trace!"

Bo Hetuo hesitated and said: "Sir, if we continue to fight like this, how many more people will we need to fill in?"

Yangu Li glanced at him and said, "Don't be afraid, just do it!"

Bo Hetuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was afraid that the prince-in-law would suddenly give up fighting. At the same time, he curled his lips and smiled secretly in his heart. This time, you have lost so many warriors in Fa Ming. What will happen if you go back?

How can I pretend to be cool in front of my eighth uncle (Huang Taiji)?

There is a kind of behavior called forcible pretense, and only he knows the pain in his heart. Yangu Li immediately ordered the first batch of attacking troops to withdraw, and the second batch of troops to be rotated came in and continued to attack the city!

Seeing the Qing soldiers supporting the wounded soldiers and retreating in embarrassment with the corpses on their backs, the soldiers of the new battalion also burst out laughing on the top of the city.

"It's so tragic!" Some soldiers couldn't help but sigh after stretching their heads to look at the tragic situation below the city.

This was the first time for many people to experience such a bloody scene. After smelling the smell of blood reaching the top of the city, the cheers of the soldiers from the new battalion on the city slowly died down, and many people began to vomit, even to the whole company.

The bile was vomited out.

"No! The Tatars are attacking again!" a soldier exclaimed, pointing at the Qing army that was coming again.

Everyone looked into the distance, and sure enough, there were a large number of Qing troops pushing shield carts and ladders to attack the city again.

The musketeers of the new battalion began to attack according to the distance of the Qing army's advance, severely attacking the second batch of Qing army's siege troops.

Braving the fierce attack from the city head, the Qing army also left many corpses along the way, but finally approached the city wall again, set up the ladder again, and launched the siege again.

When Sun Yingyuan saw the Qing troops gathering under the city again, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It seems that the lesson just learned is not enough. You dare to stand so densely under the city. You are just asking for death! After passing the order, the grenades continued to greet each person, but there were still five people.

"

As Sun Yingyuan's order came down, the soldiers began to light the fuses again and threw grenades under the city.

Under the city wall, a series of earth-shattering explosions sounded again, and even on the city wall, the earth could be felt shaking.

Hearing the noise, Yang Guli's face twitched. He was still holding a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that the Ming army's firearms had been used up, so he dared to pretend to order to continue the attack on the city.

The cruel scene from before reappeared. The Qing soldiers who attacked the city were blown into a mess, and the mess under the city wall was too horrible to look at.

Yang Guli's heart was bleeding, his intestines were turning green, and his thighs were swollen. He should have known better than to pretend to be such a coward.

No matter how brave the Qing army's siege soldiers were in normal times, they were so frightened at this moment that they retreated without waiting for the main formation to issue an order to withdraw, even ignoring the corpses of their teammates and wounded soldiers.

Bo Hetuo saw that the Qing troops attacking the city were gradually retreating. He urged his horse to take a few steps forward, raised his whip and said, "Don't retreat! Go back to attack the city! Where is the supervising team? Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed!"

The supervisory team was just about to go up and kill people, but they heard the signal from behind to withdraw the troops. Bo Hetuo was furious, turned back to his horse and said: "Who gave the order to withdraw the troops? Keep going!"

Yangulice immediately stepped forward and said, "Beizi, this is my order."

Bo Hetuo was startled for a moment, and said with some confusion: "Why did my brother-in-law withdraw his troops? Just now you said, don't be afraid, or what are you doing? Keep going!"

Yang Guli's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "Fuck your mother! The ones who died were not your Zhenglanqi men!"

Bo Hetuo continued: "Sir, the warriors of our Qing Dynasty have always been invincible and invincible. Today we are blocked by this small new city. Where is the face of our Qing Dynasty?"

Yang Guli said dissatisfied: "That's enough. If we continue to attack, we will only sacrifice our Qing warriors in vain. Don't forget what the emperor ordered before the expedition. Once you encounter a city that is difficult to capture, don't attack by force.

To avoid wasting troops in vain.

This time we, the Qing Dynasty, entered the Pass to defeat the Ming Dynasty and conquered the twelve prefectures and counties in the Ming Kingdom. We were victorious in fifty-eight battles and captured more than 100,000 people. It was already a great victory. Even if we could not capture this new city, it would not harm our Qing Dynasty.

face!"

Although Bo Hetuo was still a little dissatisfied, he had no choice but to do so. Yang Guli was the third person in charge of the Ming Dynasty. He was also Lao Khan's consort, Huang Taiji's uncle, and his elder. He could not face Yang Gu in person.

Li gets angry.

Bo Hetuo had no choice but to suppress his anger and said in a low voice: "I didn't kill the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity for such a great achievement!"

Yangguli suddenly became like a kind elder, comforting Bo He and said: "This time we, the Qing Dynasty, sent troops just to seize the population and wealth of the Ming Dynasty and consume the national power of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, we, the Qing Dynasty, will send troops south again.

When we seize the entire Ming Dynasty, a Ming Dynasty prince and a mere new city are of no consequence."
