The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 73
The next day, Duoduo did not give up, and launched an attack on the camp outside the city again, and he fought from morning till night.

It's a pity that after yesterday's battle, the tens of thousands of people in the battalion had already adapted to it. In addition, they found that sandbags can effectively restrain the shells from bouncing.

So after a day of attack and defense, the gratifying 3 horses did not get the slightest advantage, but a lot of casualties.

In this situation, it is obvious that Shang Kexi's small number of troops can no longer fight the camp, and the purpose of the test has been achieved, but Duoduo not only did not retreat, but the toad yawned and wanted to go to heaven.

He actually retreated outside the northern city, ordered people to fill up the moat, built siege equipment, and concentrated the red cannons, blasting towards a section of the city wall.

In this scene, Zhu Ci was furious.

It annoyed him even more than when Xungui lost the battle and killed 2 people that day.

The opponent couldn't even take down the big camp, and even wanted to attack the city, and even directly attacked the inner city, which was obviously disgusting.

I'm afraid even Duoduo himself wouldn't believe that he could really get in with his mere troops.

Not to mention, Duduo is really not bluffing, but feels that there is still a great chance to fight.

In Duduo's view, the 8 or [-] horses outside the city must be the most elite troops in the Ming army in the capital.

Otherwise, it will never be placed outside the city, nor will it take the initiative to go out to fight in the camp.

Even the most elite troops are so vulnerable, how bad is the defense in the city?

So in Doduo's view, as long as he sends some Eight Banners warriors to climb up to the top of the city and hack and kill, no matter how many Ming troops are in the city, they will end up fleeing in all directions.

How could he be reconciled if he didn't try this kind of opportunity to make a world-class achievement?

As for sending warriors to attack the camp, it is not cost-effective at all. Naturally, they must attack the capital.

According to normal thinking, Duduo's inference is indeed reasonable.

However, Zhu Cihong didn't trust those Xungui and Tang Tong's men at all, so he kept them all outside the city to prevent them from rebelling and making trouble.

If Duoduo knew the truth, he would probably vomit blood.

It didn't take much for Duoduo to prepare for ten days, filling the moat two miles wide, and building more than a dozen siege ladders and thousands of wooden ladders before he was ready to attack the city.

Clearly ready to go big.

Even Dorgon sent people several times to make him retreat, but they all found reasons to delay it.

Seeing that Duo Duo was so rampant outside the capital, Hong Niangzi also planned to send troops to teach Duo Duo several times, but was stopped by Zhu Cihong.

At this time, Zhu Cihong also calmed down, and his anger disappeared, so Duoduo let him attack if he wanted to attack.

Anyway, the attacker will always suffer several times more casualties than the defender, so he welcomes anyone who comes to attack the city!

Duoduo saw fifty red-clothed cannons blasting for ten days, except that the city tower was completely changed, and only a few bricks were broken on the city wall, so he completely gave up and stopped doing that useless work.

With an order, Shang Kexi led an army of [-] people pushing the ladders and carrying wooden ladders, and began to attack the city.

Duo Ze only sent five thousand and eight banners and Mongolian Tartars to participate in the battle, of which three thousand Mongolian Tartars and five thousand gunfire soldiers shot from behind to cover.

The elite of the Two Thousand and Eight Banners are waiting in full force, hoping to kill them in one go after the rolling trees and thunder stones on the city are exhausted.

dong dong dong.

"The Tartars are attacking the city, everyone stand up!"

"Masters, don't lie on the ground, get up quickly, if you don't get up again, you will have to do military law."

On the top of the city wall, with shouts, a civil servant and the students from the Imperial College stood up tremblingly.

Looking at the slowly advancing army outside the city, many people's legs gave way and they fell to the ground again. Some even had water stains dripping from their buttocks.

Yes, it is true that nearly [-] civil servants, large and small, and supervisors of the Imperial College were responsible for defending this section of the city wall, including senior officials such as the first assistant and the second assistant minister.

Of course, in addition to this, there are [-] elite veterans to cooperate with them, under the command of Zhou Yuji himself.

The servants and servants of these civil servants are instead responsible for transporting bricks, stones, wood, dung and firewood to the city.

All civil servants have changed into ordinary military uniforms. If they want armor and helmets, they can only bring their own. Therefore, many people ask their wives and concubines to temporarily sew iron and wood pieces to the chest and back, and let the carpenter make a helmet. Wear it on your head.

This makes it look like a fashion show at the top of the city at a glance, with more than [-] people dressed in various styles.

At this moment, the second assistant, Wei Zaode, covered his mouth and nose with a towel on his face, and was adding more firewood. Obviously he was lucky enough to be assigned to burn dung.

Ninety-nine percent of the civil servants cursed Zhu Cihong in their hearts, especially those who lit fires and carried pots and dung.

shhhhhh…

bang bang bang...

"what!"

"oops…"

"Jiannu is shooting arrows, pay attention to dodging!"

"Hurry up, Jiannu's ladder is approaching, fire oil tanks are ready!"

"The person in charge of the pole is ready!"

The veterans kept observing and yelling while avoiding bows, arrows and firecrackers.

The civil servants did not have this kind of reaction. After they understood what they were shouting, many of them were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, howling.

There are also debris splashed on the wall stack by the firecrackers, scraped on the face, and the pain is like howling ghosts and howling, wow-wah.

Those who were recruited were immediately carried off the top of the city. If the injuries were not serious, they would have to be bandaged. This made the civil servants want to die.

"The enemy army is approaching, the rolling wood and thunder stone are waiting for you, and the golden juice is waiting for you!"

"Old man, are you stupid? Donkeys are plugged into your ears? Didn't you hear? Give me a hand!"

"oh oh…"

An old soldier lifted up a piece of wood, and seeing the guy beside him staring blankly, he immediately urged.

And Zhang Jinyan, who was distracted, came back to his senses, and quickly bent down to lift the other end of the wood. Together, the two lifted the wood and threw it down the city.

"Mother, lift it again!"

Seeing him clapping his hands, the old pawn was about to take a rest, so he kicked him and cursed.

"You, you are bold, my soldier... oops!"

Zhang Jinyan was trembling with anger, but before he finished speaking, he was stabbed on the back of the head again, and was immediately slapped with stars in his eyes.

"If you keep talking too much, I'll chop it up, lift it up, mother, you're as stupid as a pig!"

Seeing his murderous look on his face, Zhang Jinyan shuddered, not daring to talk anymore, so he had to lift the other end of the wood again, and lifted it with difficulty.

As soon as the two lifted the wood, there was a scream from the side. One of them was shot in the face by an arrow and fell to the ground, the tail of the arrow was still shaking slightly.

"what…"

Zhang Jinyan recognized at a glance that this person was his subordinate, the head of the military department, and suddenly his mind collapsed.

Ye Zai couldn't bear the fear in his heart, let out a loud cry, dropped the wood in his hand, turned around and ran away.

"Dog, fleeing, kill without mercy!"

"puff!"

He threw it suddenly, causing one end of the wood to hit the ground hard, shaking the hands of the old soldier on the other side and almost breaking his bones.

bump!
"You...you, you actually killed the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

The chief assistant, Chen Yan, was holding a stone and just witnessed this scene. The stone fell to the ground in shock, he opened his mouth wide, pointed at the old soldier and stammered.

Bang!

Hearing this, the old pawn fell to the ground with similarly shocked knives, his face pale.

The superiors only said that a group of recruits would defend with them and let them lead the area. Everyone can see that these people are not simple, and I am afraid they are either rich or noble.

But even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that there was such a big man as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he would carry the wood with him, and he was finally killed by him as a deserter.

OMG!

How to do?
