The chest armor of the cuirass soldier is made of two iron plates at the front and back. The advantage of this kind of armor is that it has good defense against arrows and cuts, but it has poor defense against blunt objects.

In addition, it is troublesome to repair. Once a defect occurs, the whole thing needs to be repaired before it can be used again. Unlike fish scales and other armored stomachs, you can just repair whatever is broken.

The cuirassiers stood in front and began to advance forward.

In addition to the front team of cuirass soldiers, there are two teams of cuirass soldiers behind them, and at the back are ordinary firecrackers wearing cotton armor.

The slave archers use heavy arrows.

However, it is also necessary to shoot the arrow at a close distance to ensure its power and accuracy. If it is farther away, the power will naturally be insufficient.

The cuirassier who rushed in front ran forward quickly, his arms always holding the blazing gun.

"Shoot their legs, shoot their legs." Hai Lancha noticed through the crenel that with the appearance of the Tiger Flag soldiers wearing iron armor, the threat of missing arrows to the Tiger Flag side was reduced, and he immediately changed the combat strategy.

Since his legs are not covered with iron armor, his ability to resist arrows is naturally weak.

The target of the legs is small, but they can very well stop the person approaching the tiger flag from moving forward. In comparison, it poses a greater threat than directly shooting at other parts.

After the slave archer changed his position and started shooting at both legs, two cuirass soldiers were shot in the thigh on the spot and fell to the ground unsteadily.

The cuirass soldiers behind immediately took over their positions, blocking the front and continuing to rush forward.

Both sides knew that as long as they rushed over in just a few dozen steps, the Tiger Flag would be able to compete with the defenders for the South City Gate by virtue of their numerical advantage, and it would become more difficult for the Jinzhou defenders to defend Jinzhou.

As the slave soldiers continued to shoot arrows, more and more cuirass soldiers fell down, and the number of cuirass soldiers blocking the front line became less and less.

Bang!

After two more cuirass soldiers fell, the sound of fire cannons was heard.

There was originally a distance of thirty or forty steps, but under the fearless charge of the cuirassiers, the two sides were only about twenty steps apart.

At this distance, the accuracy of the shot of the fire gun has increased. Likewise, the arrows of the slave soldiers can now be shot more accurately, and can even penetrate the breastplate of the cuirass soldier.

As the distance shortened, more and more soldiers on the side of the Tiger Flag were hit by arrows, and the casualties gradually increased. The defenders on the city also began to suffer casualties, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

Although fire blunderbuss does not have as high a hit rate as bows and arrows, it has one advantage that bows and arrows cannot compare with.

As long as the Tiger Flag soldiers hit by bows and arrows did not hit their vital points, they could still charge as long as they endured the pain. On the other hand, as long as the Jinzhou defenders were hit by muskets, they would lose their combat effectiveness even if they did not die.

The tearing pain of a bludgeon is unbearable for ordinary people, and no matter how thick the armor and stomach are on you, any armor and stomach will be penetrated within twenty steps. The smell of burnt barbecue can even be heard from the place where the bludgeon hits.

The number of cuirass soldiers at the front was so small that they could no longer block the large group of ordinary soldiers following behind.

However, the fire cannons counterattacked powerfully, and the threat of the slave thieves' archers also weakened.

Basically, every time the distance of twenty steps is shortened by one or two steps, someone will fall. But those who fall are the defenders of Jinzhou City, or they may be the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.

Under the fearless charge of the tiger-character flag soldiers, the short female wall city road was finally penetrated, and the first tiger-character flag soldiers rushed to the main city wall.

"kill!"

From a duel between firecrackers and bows and arrows, it turned into a close-quarters fight in an instant.

The gunman of the Tiger Flag usually only uses the bayonet on the front of the gun to stab the enemy in front after finishing shooting the gun in the gun.

The first few soldiers who rushed to the main city wall were quickly drowned in the sea of ​​​​Jinzhou City defenders.

Immediately afterwards, the tiger-character flag soldiers from behind rushed forward again.

This time it was different. The soldiers stood in rows, relying on the blazing bayonets in their hands as long weapons to stab the Jinzhou City defenders in front of them.

Although the long weapons had the advantage, the number of soldiers in the first row coming out of the female wall passage was too small and they could not take full advantage of the spear array.

In addition, some slave soldiers wore double armor. Sometimes the bayonet that was thrust out could not penetrate the double armor at once, or it penetrated the double armor and only injured the flesh, failing to cause serious damage to the slave soldier.

This gave the slave soldiers a chance to counterattack the tiger-character flag soldiers.

At the interface between the main city wall and the Wengcheng city wall, tiger-character flag soldiers and slave soldiers were constantly fighting in such a small place.

One side wants to break out of the parapet passage and enter the main city wall, while the other side tries desperately to block the connection between the main city wall and the parapet passage.

The tiger-character flag soldiers relied on simple gun formations, but the slave soldiers relied on their own bravery and fear of death.

People on both sides kept falling.

"kill!"

While Wang Ju's thousand-man team was still fighting for the main city wall with the slave soldiers, another passage connected to the main city wall was penetrated by another thousand-man team of Tiger Flag and rushed to the main city wall.

"These damn Nikans, you know you can't trust them." Hai Lancha yelled angrily when he saw the Tiger Flag soldiers rushing up from the other direction.

With great difficulty, he and his men blocked the soldiers and horses of the tiger-shaped flag from rushing up to the main city wall. Unexpectedly, they failed to guard the other passage leading to the main city wall that was guarded by Han soldiers.

"withdraw!"

Hailan noticed that the situation was over and if he persisted, everyone would die here. He immediately led a few real slave soldiers around him to retreat to the horse path leading to the city.

The few slave soldiers were immediately defeated when he left, and they were no longer able to block the tiger-character flag warriors on the passage.

The defeat was unstoppable. Except for a few true slave soldiers who were unwilling to escape and remained in place to fight with the people of the Tiger Flag, the remaining people, including the Han soldiers, fled to the city.

"Chase!"

After defeating the slave soldiers who resisted to the end, Wang Ju immediately ordered his men to pursue them.

Facing the defeat of the Jinzhou City defenders, there was no need to maintain the gun formation. Teams of soldiers organized themselves into teams and chased the fleeing defeated soldiers.

The fleeing slave soldiers were no different from the Ming army. Once they lost their last bit of morale, they would only think about escaping for their lives and throw away anything they could that would hinder their escape.

Only a few people who could still maintain their sanity left behind their armor.

Wang Ju resisted the urge to pursue the remnants of the enemy and led a small group of troops to the city gate, preparing to open the city gate and let the army outside the city enter.

With the city gate captured, Jinzhou City was basically conquered, unless the Jinzhou defenders in the city were able to drive the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag out of the city.

It is a pity that the defenders in Jinzhou City do not have such ability.

As the Tiger-Character Banner army entered Jinzhou City, the defenders in the city had less and less advantage. They either chose to surrender or hide in other places where they thought they were safe.

Among them, Biyufu in Nakai is the safest place in many people's minds.
