Under the personal command of Prime Minister Jia Jia, the second attack was launched violently again.
If we look at the number of times, this should be three strikes against Linqing City.
For the first time, the Qing army was defeated because Jia led his team to underestimate the enemy.
The second time, due to Premier Jia's collaboration with the enemy, the Qing army was defeated.
But this third time, Mr. Jia did not allow failure.
He can no longer betray the country, otherwise the masses will really think that he does not know how to fight and is a qualified executioner to suppress the anti-Qing uprising.
As before, the victorious army, which lacked long-range weapons, could not prevent the Qing army from approaching the city wall.
Their defense method was to rely on the tall city walls and use various instruments to kill the Qing troops attacking from below.
This is a stupid way, but it is also the best way.
Means such as gold juice and demolishing beams to obtain wood were provided to them by Jia Liu.
The effect is very good.
Killing more than 900 Manchu, Han and Qing troops, he achieved another major victory in Jia Liu's military career.
Unfortunately, since Jingling, which has a large output value, is about to open an underground palace, if this project can be completely monopolized, it will greatly increase the GDP of the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the country, Mr. Jia has to end the war here hastily.
Under the city wall that has become a Shura field, ladders are once again erected on the city.
The Qing army, whether Manchurian, Mongolian, or Green Camp, was stimulated by strict military laws and huge rewards, and began to climb the city under the scorching sun without risking their lives.
"Kill, kill!"
"For the Qing Dynasty, for the Emperor!"
"For the glory of the Eight Banners!"
""
Jia Liu, who personally led his troops to the city, screamed hoarsely.
The Prime Minister's "Jia" flag drooped in front of Linqing City.
Without wind, it cannot spread.
But this big flag filled the Qing army with more fighting spirit than a few carts of watermelons.
Because the Prime Minister is only thirty feet away from the city wall!
A hundred meters away!
In other words, the Prime Minister is right beside them!
Although in front of the Prime Minister, hundreds of shields were held high, and several soldiers surrounded him like iron barrels.
Flies, don't even think about getting close to the Prime Minister!
The two Yan brothers (Yan Jiren and Yan Jixiang) who had surrendered each led two teams and were desperately trying to climb the city. The other teams of Chang Wei's troops were lined up in formation and shot at the city wall one after another in a concentrated fire manner.
However, the dense musketry was obviously not covering the team climbing the city, but covering a cart filled with gunpowder.
A group of Chang Wei soldiers held various shields and successfully pushed the cart filled with gunpowder into the city gate.
Breaking the city was nothing more than a trivial matter to Jia Liu.
He can even produce explosive packets, let alone blow up a city gate.
The reason why these conventional methods are being used now is just to make the Qing army suffer more sacrifices.
From beginning to end, his original intention has never changed.
Because this is his belief.
The person in charge of the blasting was Zamul. After clearing the lower city gate with his subordinates, he quickly withdrew and sent a "tiger, tiger, tiger" signal to the Prime Minister.
A loud "boom" sound came from the east gate cave. The brick wall in the cave instantly cracked. The door that was supported by stones was also blown into several pieces. Flying rocks scattered from the cave like goddesses, black and white.
Smoke and ash spurted out of the hole.
More than 100,000 people in Linqing City heard the loud noise, and people could feel the violent shaking under their feet for miles around.
The first reaction of the uninformed Qing army after hearing the loud noise was that it was some evil spell cast by the Qingshui cult bandits in the city. Many Qing soldiers who were climbing ladders were so frightened that they fell directly from the sky.
The one below even fell down on the spot.
The victorious army on the city was even more shocked. When they came to their senses, the black smoke and dust generated by the explosion had already enveloped the city wall.
Neither side can see anything.
"What happened!"
Wang Lun, the leader of Qingshui Cult who was anxiously watching the battle in the new city, was also shocked by the loud noise and opened his mouth wide. He stared blankly at the black smoke rising in the air in the direction of the east gate of the old city.
That sorcery, with the current level of cultivation of the leader, is absolutely impossible to perform.
On the city wall of the east gate, some of the victorious soldiers were smashed to pieces by the flying boulders at the moment of the explosion. More of them fell down with the sudden collapse of the city wall and were immediately destroyed by mud, stones, and city bricks.
Buried alive.
As the dust gradually dispersed, both the enemy and ourselves discovered that a section of the city wall was empty, revealing a large gap.
The scene in front of him made Wang Jinglong unbelievable, and his back felt cold because he knew that the old city could not be defended.
"The city is broken, kill!"
Looking at his masterpiece, Jia Liu felt no pride or pride in his heart. Instead, he felt disappointed and even sad.
Because he knew that next, this city would become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
After hesitating for a breath, he pointed the Ebilong sword in his hand at the gap.
"kill!"
More than 300 Chang Wei troops took the lead and poured into Linqing City along the collapsed ruins without any obstruction.
"Kill the bandits!"
One, two, three countless Qing soldiers who had recovered their senses rushed in.
Asha, the censor of the capital who had just abandoned the ship and returned to the shore, also jumped up excitedly: "Kill, kill, kill!"
The ones who worked the hardest were the Eryan brothers and the group of Yuan Chang Shengjun who were selected by Jia Liu. The traitors were powerful. Without anyone urging them, they swarmed up the city wall along the gap and faced those who were their own people not long ago.
The victorious soldiers slaughtered them wildly.
The Chang Victory Army collapsed without any surprise. Those in the east gate were fleeing, and those in other directions were also fleeing. No one had the courage to intercept the influx of Qing troops.
"Commander, we can't hold on anymore, retreat quickly!"
Wang Jinglong's soldiers grabbed the generalissimo, whose mind was blank, and desperately dragged him down the city.
"well!"
After stomping his feet, Wang Jinglong, knowing that the situation was over, was forced to abandon his troops and fled towards the new city under the protection of his own soldiers.
The commander-in-chief, Wang Liang, did not escape. When the explosion occurred, he was closer to the city gate building and was hit by a flying piece of wood. The pain caused him to be unable to move for a long time.
However, after the Qing soldiers rushed up, he still held the long knife tightly with his bloody hands and killed the Qing soldiers.
However, there were so many Qing troops that Wang Liang was finally forced to the crenel.
After looking at the braided soldiers in all directions, Wang Liang spit out a mouthful of blood and jumped down from the crenel with a maniacal smile.
Surrounded by soldiers, Jia Liu was walking towards the city with a victor's attitude, when he was startled by the thief commander who suddenly fell from above.
Looking up at the city, a group of Qing soldiers were lying on the crenellations looking down.
Jia Liu couldn't help asking: "Who is this?"
"Sir, this is Wang Liang, the chief disciple of the bandit Wang Ni's boxing club!"
The speaker was Liu Huan, the former deputy commander of the Chang Sheng Army. He personally led his people to force his friend into a desperate situation. He wanted to persuade his friend to surrender, but his friend chose to end his life in this tragic way.
Wang Liang, who fell from the city, did not die immediately. His hands and feet may have been broken, and his internal organs may have been severely damaged. His mouth opened and closed involuntarily, and blood continued to gush out of it.
However, looking at Prime Minister Qing Yao in front of him, this young man did not have any regrets because his life was about to end. Instead, he smiled.
Jia Liu signaled his guards to get out of the way, walked up to the young "Fa Bandit", and slowly squatted down: "But what are your last words?"
No last words.
But there is a sound.
The murmur was very soft and inaudible.
"The Five Sages said that the ghosts in the West will surely perish and clear the dogs."
A young life is fixed in the word "Qing Gou".
Jia Liu hummed slightly and slowly closed the other person's eyes.
