Chapter 417 Xintai Battle (2)

In the early morning of the eighth day of the October 19th, the rising sun rose. Under the walls and feet outside Xintai City, a golden wild chrysanthemum was swaying in the cold morning breeze. The blood stains left on the wall yesterday had dried up and turned into black and brown spots. The iron spear shot from the crossbow was still firmly nailed to the city wall.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The sound of thick war drums sounded, and the Ming army rushed out of the camp like a tide. The stone throwing machine, crossbow, siege cars, artillery, and arrow tower were slowly pushed to the front of the formation...

"Siege!" With the commander Huang Qi's sword swept, the Ming army's artillery roared and sprayed flames, and the stone thrower drew a terrifying arc. Tens of hundreds of pounds of huge rocks roared up to the top of the city, and then released its terrifying destructive power and reaped lives at will.

"Crash, kill!" The Ming army shouted and rushed towards the city wall, like an ant supporting ape, and rushed towards the city head.

The bandits guarding the city desperately threw stones down and poured hot oil, or shot them with arrows or stabbed them with long bamboo guns. In short, they tried every means to fuck the Ming army that had climbed up.

More than a dozen arrow towers were pushed near the city wall by the Ming army. Each arrow tower carried thirty archers. The arrow tower was very high, higher than the head of the city. The archers stood on the arrow tower and shot the bandits on the head of the city.

The archers of the bandits on the city tower began to fight back and shot against the Ming army's archers. However, when the arrows were raining everywhere, the bandits were constantly being shot and killed, and the archers were also constantly being caught in arrows and fell from the arrow tower...

Boom...

The Ming army's artillery aimed at the city gate and the solid bullets blew the thick city gate into a pothole, but they could not blow it up. The bandits had completely sealed the city gate from the inside, and the hemp buns filled with sand and stone were nearly ten meters thick.

The fierce battle lasted for almost an hour. Finally, a siege car, the Ming army, came to the top of the city, and led the Baihu team to lead more than 20 brothers to fight fiercely, defended the defense line tightly, and covered the Ming army behind to climb the city.

The commander Huang Qi was overjoyed when he saw this and ordered the archers on the arrow tower to focus on covering the Ming army on the top of the city, and to beat the war drums himself.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

Amid the intense fighting drums, the Ming army launched a rapid offensive, and the Ming army continued to successfully climb to the city. Gradually, more and more Ming troops climbed to the city. The offensive and defensive battle turned into face-to-face hand-to-face fighting, and the battle became even more tragic, and broken limbs and broken arms kept falling from the city...

In the central camp of the Ming army, the Xuanhuang regiment dragon flag representing the imperial envoy fluttered in the wind, and next to it was a slightly shorter "Xu" flag.

Under the flag, Xu Jin was wearing a green sixth-rank official uniform, standing high on the horse's back with calmness, five hundred Jinyiwei surrounded him, and there were two thousand Yanzhou guards in the camp. This was Xu Jin's troops who were specially reserved for the support.

The five hundred cavalry led by Qi Jingtong were also in the camp at this moment, and the siege battle was not available to them.

Half an hour later, the city was basically occupied by the Ming army. Looking around, there were Ming army wearing mandarin duck war jackets and standard hats.

Lu Song, Qianhu of Jinyiwei, said happily: "Congratulations to Lord Xu, the overall situation has been decided."

It is said that Lu Song was the father of Lu Bing. He used to serve as a Dianzhang in the Xing Palace. Later, he was named Qianyiwei, a Jinyiwei family. This time, with the imperial envoy going out to Beijing to provide disaster relief, he almost died in the previous flood that was missing. He disappeared for a while and came back alive. He was a lucky guy, and Xiao Huai is still missing now.

Xu Jin showed a relaxed smile on his face. The city was occupied, and it was only a matter of time left to take down Xintai City. However, Xu Jin felt a little uneasy, as if... it was a little too easy, and he grabbed the city wall in less than a day.

Xu Jin carefully pondered his own deployment and asked himself that there were no missing parts or that he had been worried too much, Zhao Quan could not afford to ask you to get into the trap.

At this time, Huang Qi had led all the generals to the head of Xintai City, commanding the troops to pursue, while allowing people to clear out the sand and stones blocking the city gate.

After these hemp buns containing sand and stone were cleared, the city gates that had been broken into pieces by artillery collapsed. The Ming army outside the city immediately rushed in. At the same time, the Andongwei in the east of the city also attacked the city and started street fighting with the bandits.

"Sir, I'm asking for a fight!" Qi Jingtong came to Xu Jin and asked loudly to fight. The city gate opened, and finally there was a place where their cavalry could use their skills.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Accurate!"

Qi Jingtong immediately turned his horse's head and led five hundred cavalry out of the barracks, and rushed into the city gate with high fighting spirit, and slashed and slashed in Xintai City. These cavalry had long been itchy. At this time, they received orders to fight, and they were as powerful as tigers.

Zhao Quan stood on the roof of a house, looking at the Ming cavalry rushing across the street, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then took out a firework to launch it into the sky.

Zhao Quan waited for this opportunity. The Ming army even dispatched cavalry. Then the defense force around Xu Jin was at its weakest. At this time, Junior Sister Xue led 300 cavalry to rush, and the chance of killing Xu Jin was very high. He also kept a backup plan. Wang Tang's five thousand reinforcements were probably coming soon...

Zhao Quan's plan is bold and very risky. He first used Xintai City as bait to "scam" most of the Ming army into the city, and then used surprise troops to "behead" Xu Jin.

If this plan is successful and Xu Jin is killed, Zhao Quan feels that even if Xintai City is lost, it will be worth it. At that time, the Ming army will inevitably be in chaos, and he can recover the losses with the capital and benefit, and then drive south to occupy the rich Nanzhili area.

...

In a forest less than three miles north of Xintai City, hundreds of war horses were tied to trees, leisurely eating the surrounding leaves and weeds, while 300 great men were lying in the grass to rest.

Xue Bingxin held a long sword in her arms, sat on a tree trunk and closed her eyes to rest. Her long eyelashes were hanging down. The sunlight that leaked from the branches and leaves shone on her pretty, smooth and white face, as if she was coated with a layer of glaze.

Speaking of which, after Xue Bingxin led the team to leave Laiwu City in the early morning last night, she arrived in the north of Xintai City before dawn, but she had been lurking in this woods waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

"Commander Xue, the city has sent a signal!" A bandit soldier in charge of reconnaissance hurriedly ran into the woods to report.

Xue Bingxin suddenly opened her eyes and said coldly: "Get on the horse!"

"Get on the horse and prepare to attack!" Lei Jun, the centurion of the cavalry, shouted loudly.

Three hundred people immediately untied the reins, turned over the horse with murderous intent, and pulled out the sabre of cold light.

With Xue Bingxin's order, three hundred cavalry rushed out of the woods and rushed towards the south of the city like lightning. The troops pointed directly at the imperial envoy's banner.

When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom.
