The war became more and more intense. Under the supervision of Azige's red-armored soldiers, the Jin army and the Han army worked harder. Every second, several lives were lost on the city and below.
Trees and stones were continuously thrown down from the city wall, and more and more corpses were piled up under the city wall.
Both sides were red-eyed, and even the Han soldiers were red-eyed now, and climbed up the ladder regardless of their own safety.[
"Ten thousand enemies" were continuously thrown down from the city, and sparks and smoke were everywhere. Coupled with the sound of muskets and firecrackers, the top of the city seemed like a Chinese New Year.
Those who attacked the city gate were all iron-armored soldiers. The Jin army also called these heavily armored soldiers "iron-headed men." These iron-headed men were all Jurchens who were not afraid of death. They rushed to the city gate bravely, except for a few vehicles that crashed into the city gate.
The city gate and others actually hit the city wall directly. After hitting it back and forth several times, a big dent appeared on the city wall.
More and more holes were dug into the city wall. The Ming army on the city followed the same example as before and used boiling oil and "ten thousand enemies" to attack them, but they could not use these "iron heads" wearing several layers of heavy armor.
The solution was that they were not afraid of boiling oil and burning. Except for a dozen iron heads who were burned, the other iron heads did not even hide.
However, the grass on the ground was burnt yellow. The rockets were fired and immediately burned. However, the fire was limited and could not threaten the iron-headed soldiers.
In addition to the hundreds of iron heads who kept banging against the city gates and walls, the rest of the iron heads took out the shovels hidden in the shield carts and dug hard at the roots of the city wall, intending to hollow out the city wall, and then bury gunpowder and destroy the city wall.
Exploded.
There were more than two hundred iron heads who attacked the blind corner of the city wall. The Ming army on the city couldn't see them at all except for sticking their heads out to look around. However, the archers of the Jin army who were holding the battle were very cunning, and they only picked out those who were probing their heads.
The Ming army "shot". After being "shot" to death for more than a dozen people, the Ming army no longer dared to stick their heads out to check the golden soldiers in the blind corners.
"This can't continue like this. Sooner or later, this city will be hollowed out by them!"
Shi Dayong turned around in a hurry, and at a glance he saw several long and large step stones not far away. He thought of it, shouted, and led a dozen soldiers to carry the long and large step stones.
The long step stone was not only long, but also heavier. It weighed seven to eight hundred kilograms, and it was difficult for a dozen big men to lift it. More than a dozen young men came to help, and everyone worked together to slowly lift the long step stone.
He carried it to the city wall, shouted, raised it above his head, and then threw it at the golden soldiers below.
The big boulder fell from the sky with a "plop" sound, and before the iron man could react, he was hit squarely.
I don't know how many people were hit under the long stone, but the four sides were covered with flesh and blood. Their heads, hands and feet were exposed, and blood and white sweat gushed out from under the stone. It was very disgusting.
The move worked, and Shi Dayong hurriedly asked the soldiers to move another piece, this time slightly to the south. There were dozens of ironheads gathering below who were digging at the base of the wall.
An iron man who was tired from digging looked up and suddenly lost his color. He let out a cry. The iron men stopped their hands and looked up together. Without even having time to blink, they saw a big stone slab.
It has been smashed down.
Except for the seven or eight fast runners, all the other iron heads were hit. Just like the previous group, they were smashed to pieces and died.
The big stone slabs that fell from the top of the city scared the tough guys who dug the corners and no longer dared to stay there. They all screamed and retreated.
At this time, the sound of drums sounded even more exciting from the distant formation, but it was Huang Taiji who saw in the telescope that the siege was improving, and ordered the drums to be beaten to invigorate the siege soldiers.
From time to time, the sound of muskets was heard from the crenellations on the top of the city, but what was shot down was not only the muskets, but also arrows.
Under the city, the arrows of the Jin army also rained down on the city. Some Jin soldiers who were good at shooting arrows could even shoot arrows through the small holes under the crenellations, to Ming Ming who was hiding behind.
The gunman caused some damage.
There was a veteran gunslinger in the left camp who felt that the arrow shield on the side was hindering his movement, so he opened it slightly to the north. Before he could turn around, six or seven arrows suddenly appeared.
Arrows were shot at him, one on the left side of his face, one on the right side of his chest, and one on his neck. He screamed and fell backwards.[
The gunmen nearby saw this, and none of them dared to move the arrow shields. They huddled there carefully. After loading the medicine, they had to look around again to make sure that there was no danger after taking the lead. Then they stood up.
He got up without looking, and fired a shot at the city, and then quickly retreated. The speed was so fast that even the sharp archers of the Jin Army could not catch it. In the end, some archers with good archery skills only stretched their bows and pulled the strings.
, but did not "shoot", just stared at the crenel, and did not "shoot" until the Ming army appeared. In this way, more than ten unlucky Ming army gunmen were "shot". However, they were also frightened.
He dared to raise his head, and along with it, the sound of firecrackers on the top of the city became increasingly rare.
Under the city gate, the iron heads of the Jin army were still banging against the city gate. There were probably more than a hundred iron heads in the gate. The Ming army's stone slabs could not hit them, and the boiling oil and "ten thousand enemies" could not do anything to them, so they
He hit the city gate so recklessly that the doorposts and stones behind the city gate were loosened. The Ming army behind the gate was frightened and hurriedly summoned the young men to block it again.
Reality.
The iron heads who had suffered the loss of the slate learned wisely. They no longer dug the city wall, but fired arrows at the city. Many of these iron heads were hunters in the deep mountains and old forests. They were born with good archery skills and "shot" them.
Many Ming troops.
The Ming army only had muskets, bows and arrows, and crossbows. There was nothing they could do with these iron men wearing two layers of heavy armor. They could only watch them shoot arrows at the city.
At the critical moment, Cao Ying's commander Shi Hai rushed over with four large blunderbuss. The big blunderbuss was more than twice as long as the ordinary fire blunderbuss, and the barrel was much thicker. When the blunderbuss was released, it was like a small cannon firing.
Likewise, no matter how many layers of armor you wear, they will all fall to the ground. Even if your armor cannot be broken, the powerful impact will break your bones.
However, this big gun has a fatal flaw, that is, it is easier to explode the barrel than ordinary fire guns. It often takes only a few shots before the barrel explodes. Therefore, the Ming army did not dare to use this big gun. Especially the Liaodong Army.
There was no equipment, only the Beijing camp had some. When Zhang Chun left the capital, he brought out all the big guns from the Beijing camp. In the battle of Daling River, they played a great role and killed many Jin soldiers.
Unfortunately, most of them were blown up, and most of the remaining ones were captured by the Jin Army, and some were scattered around the battlefield. The Songshan Army recovered only six or seven rods. After inspection, only four rods were usable.
There were only four guns, and they were not safe. They could easily injure the gunman, so it was useless for the Ming army to put them there. It wasn't until he saw how powerful the Jin army's armored soldiers were that Shi Hai thought of using big guns and hurriedly took people there.
Brought it over.
As soon as they got on the plane, Shi Hai couldn't wait to shout: "Let go!"
The gunmen were busy lighting the fire, and suddenly they heard loud "bang, bang, bang" sounds, but there were only three sounds, and one gun actually went silent!
The blunderbuss hand was strange. When I looked at it, the bludgeon suddenly rang out again. It hit his face with a "bang" sound, blowing up his face until it was bloody and bloody. All the flesh and blood flew away, and the whole face was like
It looked like a skull, so terrifying. The soldier held his face and screamed, and died after a few screams.
This scene only frightened the Ming army so much that the shooters with the three big guns were shaking all over, looking at the big guns in their hands with unspeakable fear.
The Ming army was frightened, but the iron heads of the Jin army below the city were hit hard. There was a burst of screams, and more than a dozen iron heads were blown backwards. Either their armor was broken or their chests were suffocated.
It's like hitting with a hammer, breaking all the bones.
"put!"
The three big muskets were fired again due to the worry of the gunmen, and the screams of the iron heads were heard from the city. A rough estimate was that no less than 20 iron heads were killed by the big muskets.
Seeing how powerful the Ming army's firearms were, the ironheads did not dare to stay where they were, and instinctively retreated as far away from the city as possible.
The several corridors leading to the city wall were filled with young men carrying corpses and wounded soldiers back and forth. Several corridors were full of blood, and the doctors below the city could not treat them at all.
As the number of wounded and corpses increased, the people began to become uneasy and panicked. From time to time they looked towards the city head in horror, fearing to see Jian Nu climbing up. Fortunately, the defenders fought tenaciously, and although the casualties were heavy, Jian Nu was still alive.
The slave didn't rush over either.
Cao Bianjiao's camp had less than 500 men, and Zuo Liangyu had only 500 or 600 men left. Shi Dayong urgently ordered Ge Qingna's camp to go to the city immediately, otherwise they would not be able to suppress the Jin army's offensive.
After Ge Qing's battalion reached the city, the Jin army's attempt to climb the city was once again suppressed. Dozens of ladders were destroyed, and morale was somewhat low.
The attack on this city was really terrible. Under the two or three miles wide city wall were piled with the corpses of the Jin army. Although there were many soldiers who were not wearing red flags, but also soldiers from the Han army, it was enough to make Azig feel sad. It was a bit
I regret that I should not have come to attack Jinzhou, otherwise, the casualties would have been so heavy. If I had known that the defenders were so tenacious, I should have returned to Shenyang.
As the casualties increased, the Ming army in the city could not be seen to be exhausted. Azig had a bad feeling. He felt that Jinzhou seemed to be unbeatable. If he continued to fight, he might not be able to win.
All the blood on the red flag will really be drained.
But after he boasted about Haikou, King Khan issued a strict order. If he didn't take Jinzhou, Azig would have to show his head to him. Therefore, no matter how miserable the situation was, Azig never dared to say the order to retreat.
Being able to stay calm, he constantly sent people to urge Jia La Niulu to strengthen the attack. He also saw that the five hundred soldiers given by Huang Taiji did not attack the city, but only fired arrows on the city. The casualties were very small, and I don't know.
In order to cause Huang Taiji to suffer some losses, or because he really had no troops to send, Azige simply sent Huang Taiji's 500 personal soldiers to attack the city.
