Arrows were thrown towards the city using the kinetic energy of the galloping horses.
Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of bowstrings sounded like cotton, one after another, and the defenders at the top of the city were constantly hit by arrows, and then fell from the top of the city.
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, Guan Ning's artillery fired.
A large amount of gunpowder smoke spewed out from the muzzle, and dark cannonballs were continuously fired towards Changsha City.
Boom! Boom!
The cannonball hit the Changsha city wall, causing the bricks and stones of the Changsha city wall to fly.
The Qing army standing at the top of the city was hit so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads!
Wu Sangui was sitting on horseback, looking in the direction of the city, his expression somber that no one could see his happiness or anger.
Wu Sangui has always been a person who can hold his emotions very well, and it is not easy for others to see his happiness and anger.
However, due to the smooth battle situation recently, the smile on Wu Sangui's face has indeed not disappeared.
Since the Qing government deployed heavy troops in Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Hunan was empty.
After Wu Sangui entered Hunan, he took advantage of it.
Wherever the army passed, state capitals flocked to surrender.
Large swathes of green soldiers directly changed their banners and joined Wu Sangui.
It was easier for the Green Camp soldiers to surrender to Wu Sangui than to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they had to cut their hair and change their banners, but to surrender to Wu Sangui, they only needed to change their banners.
After Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army entered Hunan, they basically did not fight any tough battles and advanced all the way to Changsha City.
The preparations just started to encounter obstacles!
After Wu Sangui failed to persuade him to surrender, he ordered Guan Ning's army to attack Changsha City.
The Battle of Changsha breaks out!
…
Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, people shouted and horses neighed, and the roar of artillery continued one after another.
Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army suppressed the surrendered Green Camp and launched a charge against Changsha City in a dense array.
Ladder trucks and shield trucks were pushed onto the battlefield!
The artillery is roaring!
The cavalry of the Guan Ning Army pressed behind the formation, galloping behind the Green Camp soldiers in twos and threes.
The scimitar in his hand shone with a cold light.
If any of the green soldiers in front dare to retreat without orders, they will be killed by the Guan Ning Army's cavalry.
Wu Sangui's siege method was still the same as before. The supervising team suppressed the soldiers and used human lives to fill the city.
The muskets and artillery at the top of the city roared continuously, and arrows fell like locusts.
The green battalion soldiers, whose armor coverage rate was quite low, suffered heavy losses under such a blow.
Countless corpses were left behind under Changsha City!
Artillery shells passed through the dense array of green battalion soldiers, easily taking away more than a dozen lives.
Wherever the shells passed, they left mangled corpses.
Broken limbs and broken internal organs almost covered the entire battlefield!
The mutilated corpse was trampled by countless people, trampled by galloping horses, and turned into pulp.
Rolling logs and stones rained down from the top of Changsha City, and gold juice poured down on the head.
The green soldiers under the hot city howled!
A green battalion soldier who wanted to climb the city on a ladder truck was shot by an arrow and turned into a hedgehog, falling from the top of the city.
The ground near the ladder truck was almost covered with corpses.
A bucket of kerosene was poured down, and the ignited rockets were shot out, shooting towards the ladder truck filled with kerosene.
The fire instantly ignited the kerosene, which in turn ignited the ladder truck.
With a bang, the fire filled the air!
Several Green Camp soldiers, whose bodies were covered in kerosene, were engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye and let out shrill screams.
Thick smoke filled the air, and they were burned into charred corpses!
Some soldiers from the green camp couldn't stand the pressure, turned around and wanted to run away.
But just a few steps after he escaped, his throat was pierced by the arrows of the supervising team, and then he half-knelt on the ground with his eyes wide open.
The next moment, a cavalryman roared past, and a human head was chopped off and then thrown away.
The cavalryman leaned over his horse and reached out to pick up the head that fell on the ground.
Guan Ning's cavalry's cavalry, shooting, and horse skills and tactics were fully demonstrated.
He grabbed the braid and tossed it twice before throwing it into the array of green soldiers in front.
As if to warn the green camp soldiers, this is the fate of escaping from battle.
The green battalion soldiers rushing in front were startled by the sudden head. In fear, they could only close their eyes and continue to rush forward.
However, under the fierce attack of Guan Ning's army, the defenders in Changsha suffered equally heavy casualties.
The archers of Guan Ning's army were hidden in the crowd and kept firing arrows at the top of the city.
The head is so high that it’s scary!
As the arrows flew, the Qing garrison at the top of the city suffered heavy losses.
…
The city walls of Changsha have turned into a bloody mill!
Countless soldiers spent their young lives under Changsha City.
But Wu Sangui didn’t care at all!
As the saying goes, one general can make a thousand bones wither!
All Wu Sangui wanted was Changsha City.
As long as he could capture the city of Changsha and then the entire Hunan, he didn't care how many people would pay the price with their lives in the process.
Without this awareness, Wu Sangui would have died on the battlefield decades earlier, and would not be able to achieve his current status.
Guan Ning's army fought hard for a whole day, but Changsha City's defenses remained as solid as gold.
They smashed in countless human lives, and the mangled corpses almost filled the walls of Changsha City, but the effect was very little.
But there is nothing we can do about it!
In this era, without enough artillery power for cover, siege would cost lives.
Obviously, although Wu Sangui had artillery, the few dozen small cannons were not enough to cover Guan Ning's army in storming Changsha City.
But not everyone is as generous as Zhu Hongyu, who is backed by two large arsenals and uses hundreds of artillery pieces, large and small, every time he fights.
As the sun gradually set in the west, Wu Sangui took a deep breath and then gave the order.
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
It's getting dark and it's not suitable to continue fighting.
There are not many troops in Guan Ning's army who are capable of night fighting. Needless to say, most of the Green Camp soldiers are patients with night blindness.
The situation of Guan Ning's army is better, but Wu Sangui is reluctant to throw Guan Ning's army into the siege.
Therefore, just withdraw your troops when it gets dark, and don’t worry about fighting again tomorrow!
At this moment, a messenger came running from a distance and started shouting urgently from a distance.
"Urgent report!"
"Urgent report!"
"Urgent report from the capital, Ming thieves and assassins broke into the palace at night, and the Empress Dowager was assassinated..."
"..."
When Wu Sangui heard this, his eyes instantly narrowed.
When he read the emergency report, he felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
Thinking of the time when he was "assassinated" some time ago, Wu Sangui just wanted to scold the Qing court for the consequences.
You were so happy doing assassinations earlier!
He assassinated Wu Sangui again, and then assassinated the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that you have also been assassinated, are you still happy?
Besides, Wu Sangui is now standing on the opposite side of the Qing Dynasty. The worse the Qing Dynasty is, the happier he should be.
Wu Sangui can only imagine what impact Bumbutai's death would have on the Qing government!
For him, this is a good thing!
When the news of Bumbutai's death spreads, it will spread throughout Hunan. It is not impossible!
Taking a deep breath, Wu Sangui silently ordered the people below to strengthen their protection.
Well, Wu Sangui is afraid of death!
Since the assassins from the Ming Dynasty were able to break into the palace at night and successfully assassinate Bumbutai.
Looking back, I can't say whether Wu Sangui will be given a thrill as well.
Comrade Lao Wu is still very precious to his life!
