The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 300 Ten Thousand Taels Are Not Expensive
At this time, the weather was dark and the temperature dropped a lot.

The attacking side near the gate of the city is the soldiers and horses of the commander-in-chief Chen Hongfan. When he gave an order, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed up madly against the ladder.

There were shouts of killing all around, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers rushed to Dengzhou, and at a glance, they were all ants like crowds.

The last time Ding Yi watched Houjin beat Jinzhou from the perspective of the defensive side, this time he looked at the opposite side from the offensive side, and the feeling was different.

"boom boom"

"bang bang bang"

All kinds of artillery sounded continuously under the city wall, especially the Hongyi cannon at the top of the city, which was deafening. There was a loud bang, and the whole battlefield was shaken.

Kong Youde had more artillery than when Ding Yi was guarding Jinzhou, and he was very experienced, so he did not fire continuously.

Sometimes thirty or forty guns are fired together, sometimes fifty or sixty guns are fired together, and the artillery is fired in turn, so as to bring as much fear as possible to the officers and soldiers.

Every time the artillery fires, countless officers and soldiers will subconsciously look up.

Everyone will pray in their hearts, don't hit yourself.

Artillery on the battlefield, sometimes not only kills and injures the enemy, but the overwhelming power also brings infinite fear to people.

With a splash, a shell suddenly fell into the group of officers and soldiers, just hitting a veteran carrying a ladder.

The shell bounced again and rolled backwards.

The people behind didn't even have time to react, and they were torn apart a long bloody path.

Gao Qi, who was watching the battle, trembled uncontrollably and his face turned slightly pale.

Zhu Dadian stared wide-eyed with a dull expression.

The feeling when they stood in front of the defending city was the same as that of Ding Yi, and it was not as intuitive as when they were attacking the city.

Xu Fuzuo watched the shouts of killing, all kinds of screams, and chanting coming and going on the battlefield, and he was surprised and happy when he saw a large number of officers and soldiers fall one by one.

If Brother Ding hadn't taken me to meet Gao Qiqian, my soldiers and horses would be leading the charge right now.

Now he suddenly understands why Ding Yi said that 1 taels of silver is not expensive.

The ants-like soldiers and horses of the officers and soldiers rushed forward, and after less than half an hour of fighting, the sky was getting dark, but there was no progress at all.

The rebels bombarded them when they were far away, and shot arrows when they got close, and there were all kinds of strange firearms that even Ding Yi had never seen before.

Sun Yuanhua likes to study all kinds of firearms, and Ding Yi also saw a kind of rocket, like the fireworks in his previous life.

Whoosh, whoosh, as soon as it was fired, dozens of arrows flew down and flew around.

There was a scream under the city, and many officers and soldiers were stabbed.

In the distance, there was a loud bang, and the ladder below was also shattered. There were fires everywhere, and the officers and soldiers under the city were burned screaming, just like the post-Jin Han army in Jinzhou that day.

"What's that?" Gao Qi quivered.

Zhu Dadian's face was pale: "It seems to be the enemy of ten thousand people."

Xu Fuzuo and Ding Yi looked at each other and glanced at each other.

Ding Yi was also thankful that he had spent 1 taels, but fortunately he didn't let his soldiers and horses get attached.

He was willing to let his elite soldiers die on this kind of battlefield.

After fighting for less than half an hour, it didn't know that the soldiers and horses suddenly shouted wildly, and the officers and troops collapsed instantly.

The officers and soldiers on the entire battlefield retreated as if they were infected.

Gao Qiqian's face was ashen, and it was already dark at this time, so he could only order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

A few people descended from the hillside dejectedly, and walked in front of them in a high and dull manner.

But Zhu Dadian quietly walked a lot slower, Ding Yi immediately understood and walked a lot slower.

"Mr. Xu, General Ding, you should thank Guardian Gao." Zhu Dadian said meaningfully.

Of course, the two of them understood what it meant, if Gao Qiqian hadn't asked them to guard the Chinese army, the two of them would have been attached by the ant today.

"Ding Yi has always wanted to visit Mr. Zhu, but there is no chance." Ding Yi looked around, seized the opportunity, and stuffed a few bank notes into Zhu Dadian's hand.

Zhu Dadian smiled knowingly, and stuffed it into his sleeve without any trace.

Xu Fuzuo looked dumbfounded, at this time Gao Qiqian was not far in front of the three of them, Ding Yi and Zhu Dadian dared to give it away, and the other dared to take it in, and both of them moved extremely fast, they looked like veterans.

Although Zhu Dadian in history was relatively greedy, he was always loyal to Daming. In the end, his whole family was martyred for Daming, which was considered relatively loyal.

Ding Yi had always wanted to find an opportunity to send him money, but there was no chance, and today he finally got the chance.

After receiving the money, Zhu Dadian suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You guys are not going up today, I'm afraid there will be criticism from all the troops."

"If you attack again tomorrow, your two armies will attack its northwest to make momentum."

Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo were overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Xu Fuzou really wanted to hug Ding Yi, you are really my brother.

It is right to call Ding Yi in wars in the future.

really.

After all the troops retreated, they returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, with the intention of diving high and attacking again tomorrow.

Immediately, the scene was like a blast, everyone was cursing, some said that the rebels defended too fiercely, some said that the artillery was too ruthless, and how many soldiers and horses were lost.

While talking, it wasn't someone who mumbled, "My subordinates have suffered heavy losses, and they will attack the city tomorrow, so we have to replace them."

Swipe, many people looked at Ding Yi and Xu Fuzou.

Xu Fuzuo was a little embarrassed to be seen, and his old face was slightly red.

Ding Yi looked at Wu Sangui blankly.

Wu Sangui was looked at inexplicably, thinking, I am a cavalry soldier, what do you think I am doing?

Gao Qiqian also knew that he couldn't do this all the time, but he took Ding Yi's money again, feeling entangled in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Dadian said.

"Today I went to look at the northwest side. Although it is facing the mountain, and there are mountain roads, the rebels are not well guarded. We should send a surprise soldier to attack the mountain. Even if it is ineffective, it can still attract some of the rebels. I don't know why. The commander-in-chief is willing to go?"

"Attack against the mountain?" Ding Yi exclaimed, with a look of fear on his face.

He and Xu Fuzuo looked at each other, and they both took a step back into the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the rest of the generals seemed to have made an agreement, and they all took two steps back together.

"Okay, Chief Xu is a member of the army. It's rare for the two of you to come forward. Both of you are strong generals from the East River. Tomorrow, it's up to you." Zhu Dadian patted the table and said.

"Ah." Ding Yi and Xu Fuzou immediately grimaced.

There were snickers all around, and the general soldiers immediately felt much happier.

The next day, sure enough, they attacked again.

Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo came to the northwest side with soldiers and horses.

This side is near the mountain of Dengzhou, and further north is the mountain, so the roads here are all mountain roads, which are extremely difficult to walk, and there are not many rebels defending here.

But if you really want to attack, you will definitely be attacked by artillery and bows and arrows many times.

Xu Fuzuo was also very happy. When he got here, he immediately said: "Brother Ding, your troops are behind, and I will attack."

Ding Yi always pays for him, so of course he will reciprocate.

Old Xu is just so knowledgeable.

"Brother Xu, thank you for your hard work." Ding Yi was not polite, of course he didn't want to sacrifice his soldiers for nothing.

"It's enough for you to make a big show, but don't be too aggressive." Ding Yi whispered.

"Understood."

With an order, the officers and soldiers attacked again.

Xu Fuzuo's soldiers and horses crawled forward slowly, shouting loudly.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses were firing guns against the air from behind.

Bang, bang, bang, there was a lot of momentum here, there were continuous gunfire soldiers, and countless white smoke could be seen covering the position from a distance.

The rebel army really didn't attract many people, but soon Li Jiuzheng discovered that the officers and soldiers here were putting on airs and didn't use their full strength at all.

On the second day, the Ming army made no progress and retreated again.

On the side of Xu Fuzuo and Ding Yi, there was loud thunder and little rain. They fought for a long time, and less than 100 people were killed or injured.

But when they returned, they found that everyone was similar, and the other officers and soldiers of the Ming army no longer worked as hard as they did the first time.

In the original history, the Ming army's sieges failed many times, and in the end they had to find another way.
