For the Jianlu who had just fought the Battle of Songjin, Jizhou City was already a piece of cake. Not only was the city defense not as strong as Jinzhou, but also because the defenders in the city did not have the elite Guan Ning Army and were much smaller in number.
It would be easy to conquer such a city.
At the beginning, the entire army swarmed forward, and they were sure to be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. The Jianlu and Mongol Tatars were in a hurry to plunder Lu, so they did not spend much time in Jizhou City.
With such a plan, Turg readjusted the deployment according to Abate's wishes.
The Mongol Tatars are not good at attacking cities, and now they are sent to cover the siege troops. None of them have any complaints, and they all want to capture Jizhou as soon as possible.
Suddenly, outside Jizhou City, war drums were beating, and with the mobilization of personnel, people were shouting and horses were neighing, which was full of momentum.
The defenders on the top of the city were all very nervous when they saw Jianlu launching a large-scale siege posture.
Can Jizhou be able to hold on to such a large-scale siege by Jianlu?
Compared with them, Bai Tengjiao and Yan Yingyuan were more confident. They patrolled the city and shouted loudly to tell their soldiers not to panic. If the prisoners did not get close, they were not allowed to fire cannons.
One after another, the carriages were lined up outside the city. Behind each carriage stood the gunmen of the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the archers of the Mongolian Tatars. Following the order from the Jianlu leader, these carriages were
The car began to move toward the city head.
Viewed from the top of the city, it looks like walls, protecting the enemies behind them as they approach the top of the city. It also looks like waves, coming towards the top of the city one after another.
Fortunately, the defenders on top of the city were all veterans. If they were new recruits, the sight in front of them would probably scare them to death.
At this moment, suddenly, the deafening sound of cannons was heard outside the city.
"Boom boom"
The gunners under the personal command of Kong Youde began to fire. As the smoke rose into the sky, two iron bullets shot out and hit the Jizhou city gate.
"Boom"
With two loud noises, an iron bullet hit the walls on the left and right sides of the city gate, throwing up a piece of dirt.
It was just the first time to test the cannon, and the impact point of the iron bullet was right next to the city gate. It can be seen that the level of the traitor gunners trained by the Fo Langji was indeed good.
Seeing this scene, all the Jianlu troops cheered.
When Kong Youde saw it, he immediately urged his men: "Hurry, fire the artillery as soon as the adjustments are made, and don't give the officers and soldiers a chance to block the door!"
Generally speaking, when faced with a sudden attack, no one would choose to block the city gate immediately. Because that would mean that the people in the city would not be able to get out, and they would probably become a turtle in the urn.
Kong Youde's men were all experienced and had broken down many city gates before. They did not need Kong Youde's orders and they quickly adjusted themselves.
When Jianlu's carriage was firing on Kong Youde's side, it had already accelerated its movement, putting greater pressure on all the defenders on the city. The defenders on the city were restrained from being distracted and unable to calmly respond to the siege.
.
Yan Yingyuan happened to be in charge of the direction of Kong Youde's attack. Seeing that Kong Youde began to bombard the city gate, he ordered the artillery on the city top to aim their muzzles at the two artillery pieces of Jianlu, and then fired a salvo.
"Boom boom boom..."
On top of the city, gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, and iron bullets were shot out one after another.
Five or six iron bullets landed on the ground and then ejected, all heading towards the Jianlu artillery position.
It's a pity that none of the iron bullets hit accurately. More importantly, there were a lot of sandbags piled up in front of Jianlu's artillery position. Unless it was a direct hit, it would be difficult to hit the sandbags just by ejecting iron bullets.
The Jianlu artillery behind them caused great damage.
After thinking about it in his mind, Yan Yingyuan immediately changed his mind and ordered the artillery on the top of the city to fire freely, and the targets were changed to the carriages.
"Boom boom"
"Boom boom boom..."
Iron bullets ricocheted outside the city, and all the carriages that were hit were immediately torn into pieces. The unlucky archers of the Jianlu and Mongol Tatars behind were also injured.
And Jianlu's iron bullets finally hit the city gate. However, the city gate was not opened and was obviously blocked.
After discovering this situation, Kong Youde gave up bombarding the city gate and instead bombarded the city head.
However, it is obviously much more difficult to hit the city battlements just right than bombarding the city gate. The iron bullet either hit the city wall too low, or flew into the city too high.
"Boom boom"
"Boom boom boom..."
Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, shouts of death immediately rang out.
"kill……"
After all, the artillery was limited. A large number of carts began to approach the city wall, and the long-range troops behind the carts began to shoot or shoot arrows at the city head. Especially the Mongolian archers, because of the manpower, the shooting speed of bows and arrows was very fast.
At the beginning, the Ming army on the city was immediately suppressed.
Seeing this opportunity, the white-armored soldiers and others who were assigned to be the first batch to attack the city immediately carried simple ladders and began to climb the city.
The siege battle immediately entered the fiercest battle at the beginning.
On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Ming army were suppressed and did not dare to look down. However, when they saw the ladders approaching the top of the city, they held poles one by one and worked together to push the ladders out.
There were also soldiers of the Ming army standing there with spears in their hands, waiting for Jianlu to show his head before poking at them.
Other officers and soldiers of the Ming army were throwing rocks at the ladder, pouring gold juice, etc. They didn't have to hit or pour them accurately, just hit or pour them at the ladder.
However, there are barbs on the top of the Jianlu Cloud Ladder. If you don't push it away before the barbs get stuck on the battlements, it will be firmly hooked on the battlements, making it difficult to push it away again.
Jianlu under the city fell down from injuries from time to time, but more Jianlu climbed up the ladder.
"kill……"
The cry of killing resounded in the sky above Jizhou City.
A Jianlu leader appeared and was stabbed by the Ming army soldiers on top of the city. He screamed and fell down.
However, some Jianlu were already on guard, dodging the spear points and charging up with a ferocious look on their faces.
Some of the prisoners even grabbed the tip of the spear that was being stabbed at them, took advantage of the situation, and tried to reach the top of the city in a relay.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
The muskets on the top of the city began to ring, and they greeted Jianlu who was coming forward.
There was also a reserve force of the Ming Army on the inner wall. Seeing the danger ahead, they also began to reinforce.
Suddenly, at the foot of Jizhou City, casualties appeared immediately and increased rapidly.
Those Jianlu who were the first to board the city were indeed brave, and from time to time there were some powerful ones who were climbed onto the top of the city by them.
Some were immediately stabbed to death by the Ming army on top of the city, but other Jianlu blocked the Ming army's counterattack and gave subsequent Jianlu the opportunity to go to the city.
"kill……"
Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the Jianlu and Ming soldiers who were fighting no longer knew anything else. They just stared at the opponent in front of them and tried every means to kill the opponent.
In the distance, I saw Qing warriors climbing up the city from time to time. Turge smiled and said to Abatai: "Even if the Ming army blocked the city gate, under the attack of our Qing warriors, this
Jizhou City can also be captured quickly."
"That's right, maybe the Qing army can have lunch in the city!" When Fan Yongdou heard this, he quickly agreed with a flattering smile.
He is a businessman and understands that he must be valuable. But now, the only thing that can be valuable is to flatter the Jurchens. At least for now, that's it.
After hearing this, Abatai didn't look at him. He just stared at the top of Jizhou City and laughed loudly: "This Jizhou is just for the Qing warriors to stretch their muscles. The real show is in Lu Di!"
At this time, Kong Youde happened to come back to resume his duties. After hearing his words, he immediately echoed: "This Jizhou City is a military town, and the gates are blocked with precautions. When we get to Lu Di, we can definitely blast open the city gates and attack those people."
The city couldn’t be easier!”
Although he was a deferential king, he was born as a Han Chinese. When facing these imperial officials, even if their official positions were much lower than his own, he had to bend down and flatter them.
The chiefs of the Mongolian tribes were no exception. Seeing that Jizhou City was about to be captured, they all opened their mouths and rushed to flatter Jianlu.
Abatai felt very comfortable listening to this, but before he had time to be happy, suddenly, the situation on the city wall changed again.
The Qing warriors who rushed to the city seemed to have been quickly killed by the Ming army, or forced off the city.
In those sections of the city wall where the competition was fiercest, the Ming troops on the city top dropped fireballs one after another, which spun and spewed fire and smoke under the base of the wall, so that the Qing warriors below became a mess and climbed up to attack the city wall.
The rhythm suddenly stopped.
"Ten thousand enemies?" Turg immediately screamed when he saw it.
This enemy of ten thousand people is really a powerful weapon for defending the city. It throws down the city wall, spins and spits out fire and poisonous smoke. The armor on the Qing warriors is unable to resist it at all.
At the foot of Jizhou City, with the help of the chaos caused by the tens of thousands of enemies, the Ming army's gunmen and archers began to fight back outside the city.
Without the cover of chariots and chaos, Jianlu's side suffered considerable losses.
The Jianlu leaders far away outside the city suddenly lost their voice. Each one of them looked livid and looked at the top of Jizhou City without speaking.
It can be seen that the Ming generals in Jizhou City are good at fighting, and their counterattacks at critical moments are very powerful. And the timing is well chosen, which makes the Qing side fail, which is the most damaging to morale.
However, if they could not withstand the attack of Qing warriors, they might take the opportunity to capture the city. Therefore, they would think that the Ming general in the city was good at fighting.
Otherwise, we would definitely not dare to fight like this, and we would not dare to let the Qing warriors climb to the top of the city, and they would try their best from the beginning.
"Ming Jin!" After a while, Abatai ordered with a gloomy face.
The morale of the Qing Dynasty has been reversed. The morale of the Qing Dynasty has been hit. The morale of the Ming army on the top of the city has improved significantly. It is no longer suitable to continue fighting and needs to adjust its tactics.
After giving the military order, Abatai was about to turn back to the central military tent, but at this moment, he saw a spy horse flying towards him.
