Chapter 165 Fierce Siege Battle
Countless Ming soldiers roared and rushed towards the sheep and horse wall, using various tools to chisel at the wall frantically.

"Use the cannon! Use the cannon quickly!" Nan Yikui shouted.

On the city wall, drums were beating and flags were waving.

The Qing army gunners quickly lowered their gun positions and directly bombarded the Ming army behind the sheep and horse wall.

There was a loud bang, and a shell that could not be used by the red-coated artillery shot into the crowd of the Ming army.

Ahhhhh!
Howls sounded one after another.

A burst of smoke dissipated, and several Ming soldiers turned into bloody corpses.

Just as the Qing gunner was about to cheer, a vengeful lead bullet hit him between the eyebrows.

With a look of astonishment on his face, the gunner fell straight down the wall.

In an instant, bricks and stones were flying and sand and soil were splashing everywhere.

Under the attack of the Ming army, a gap soon appeared in the Sheep and Horse Wall.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Ming army soldiers roared and set up the first ladder, which reached the top of Anshun City.

A Ming soldier quickly climbed up with a knife.

"Throw it to me!" a Qing army officer kept roaring.

A soldier lifted a stone, emerging from behind the parapet.

A Ming army archer with quick hands and quick eyes quickly shot out the bow and arrow in his hand, and shot an arrow through his throat.

"Concentrate firepower to cover!" Under the city wall, a Ming army general Qian shouted.

A large number of musketeers and archers aimed at the position where the ladder was set up, constantly firing to cover their teammates.

The soldiers of the Qing army were panicked under the firepower of the Ming army.

"Whoever dares to fight will be killed without mercy!"

With a swipe of a gleaming lancet, a Qing soldier fell into a pool of blood in disbelief.

"Yeah!" Under the threat of military discipline.

A Qing soldier had no choice but to throw a boulder from the city wall despite threats.

He immediately knocked down a Ming soldier who was about to climb the wall.

He fell under the city wall, not knowing whether he would live or die.

"Kill the barbarians! Kill the barbarians! Kill the barbarians!"

On the city wall, the Qing soldiers roared and threw thundering rocks and rolling logs.

Musketeers and archers also fired at the ladder.

A Ming soldier fell under the city wall, and the bodies gradually accumulated and became taller and taller.

"Hook! Give me a hook!" The Qing army guard in charge of this area shouted.

Several hook rods quickly hooked the Ming army's ladder.

Then a large number of soldiers and civilians exerted their strength.

The Ming army ladder was quickly pushed out of the city wall.

Accompanied by the screams of the Ming soldiers on the ladder, the ladder fell heavily under the city wall.

"Quick! The second ladder! Hook it up quickly!" I saw that the ladder had been knocked over.

Instead of being excited, the Qing garrison was shocked.

Because in just a short moment, the Ming army had several more ladders set up on the Anshun city wall.

The filled-in sections of the moat are getting longer and longer, and the area where the Ming army can build ladders is getting wider and wider.

Countless Ming troops were densely packed and attacking the city.

Nan Yikui, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, was seen frightened.

"Quick! Let the brothers shout, guard Anshun, and each of the whole army will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, not 20 taels!" Nan Yikui said quickly.

"Yes!" His cronies responded quickly.

"Guard Anshun, and each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!" A loud voice began to spread from the walls of Anshun.

It quickly swept through the entire city wall.

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Qing army were in high spirits. The fear of war that had already arisen under the desperate attack of the Ming army was greatly improved by the stimulation of the huge silver reward.

"Kill the Southern Barbarians!" A Qing soldier blushed and smashed out the clay pot in his hand.

With a clang, the pottery jar hit the helmet of the leader of the Ming army on the ladder and suddenly shattered.

"Ahhh!" The Ming soldier covered his eyes tightly and fell down.

It turned out that the clay pot was filled with lime.

Soon, under the stubborn resistance of the Qing army, the first batch of attacking Ming troops were almost completely killed or injured.

However, the second batch of Ming troops still swarmed forward and continued to attack regardless of life and death.

However, the Qing army relied on the huge advantage of the city wall to continuously kill and injure the Ming army, and always firmly defended the city wall.

"Commander, retreat first. If we continue fighting like this, our brothers will all die in Anshun City."

One of the henchmen's eyes turned red as he looked at the corpses piling up higher and higher under the city wall.

Qi Sansheng put down the telescope and clenched his fists.

"The King of Jin ordered me to capture Anshun and open the passage into Guiyang. The drums and flags remain unchanged and we continue to attack!" Qi Sansheng gritted his teeth.

boom boom-

bang bang bang-

Up and down the city wall, the Qing army and the Ming army opened fire wildly, making the weapons of both sides extremely hot.

The archer was also sweating profusely, and he raised his sore arm and continued to draw arrows and shoot.

Under the Anshun city wall, in several places where the Ming and Qing armies fought key battles, corpses had accumulated several meters high.

However, under the organization of the officers, the Ming army, like the zombies in Resident Evil, continued to plunge into this huge meat grinder.

"Golden juice! Hurry up and get the golden juice!" Nan Yikui waved his hand.

On the wall of Anshun, dozens of steaming cauldrons were quickly picked up by the Qing army and civilians and poured down on the Ming army.

A Ming soldier held a saber in his mouth and was bravely climbing the city, but a black cauldron suddenly appeared in his sight.

When the cauldron was turned over, the hot golden juice suddenly poured out.

"what--!"

The Ming soldiers, whose bodies were blistered by the stinky golden juice, fell one after another and became a member of the pile of dead bodies.

Seeing the corpses piling up higher and higher in front of him, the morale of the Ming army dropped.

"Those who move forward live! Those who move back die!"

A Ming army officer raised his knife and chopped off the head of a soldier who was afraid of the enemy, and then roared.

"Brothers, make great achievements now!" Another officer spoke, and he took the lead in rushing towards the Anshun city wall.

Under the constraints of military discipline and the encouragement of officers.

In the end, a large number of Ming soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to charge forward.

"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!" Countless Ming soldiers rushed forward and continued to attack the Anshun city wall.

"Hey!" A heavy crash sounded.

Under the cover of muskets and bows and arrows, the Ming army's charging vehicles arrived at the Anshun City Gate and began to violently hit the Anshun City Gate.

"Hold it!" Inside the city gate, a large number of civilians and soldiers, under the intimidation of the officers, pressed against the city gate with their bodies.With a bang, under the violent impact of the Ming army, the bodies of the civilian husband and soldiers bounced back.

The city gate of Anshun was knocked open by the Ming army.

The scalp of the Qing army officer was numb, but before he could make any move, countless Ming soldiers were filled with rage, armed with various weapons, and came in frantically to kill.

"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"

Roars sounded one after another. After losing countless comrades, the soldiers of the Ming army rushed into the city gate, desperate and slashing wildly to vent their emotions.

"Master, please spare your life, Master, please spare your life!" The civilians who had been forcibly conscripted by the Qing army knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

However, the Ming army, which was red-eyed, could not care about this. A large number of civilians died under the sword of the Ming army.

"Fight me!" On the city wall, Nan Yikui was shocked to see that the Ming army had breached the first city gate.

A large number of Qing troops were quickly organized, using various weapons to fire from all directions at the Ming troops entering the barbican city.

Before the Ming soldiers who had just entered Wengcheng had time to organize a second collision, many of them died under the firepower of the Qing army.

"There is only one gate left in Anshun. Brothers, please close it!"

A large number of Ming troops used shields to cover, pushed their chariots, and rushed into the urn city at all costs, approaching the second gate.

On the city wall, where the competition was fiercest, Ming troops had already climbed onto the city wall and were engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing troops.

"Quick! Let Lieutenant General Zhang mobilize the one thousand soldiers and horses, five hundred to block the city gate, and five hundred to defend the city!"

Nan Yikui, the commander-in-chief, looked at everything in front of him, grabbed the chest of one of his cronies and shouted wildly.

After hearing this, the cronies quickly went down to the city to notify the mobile troops of the Qing army.

"Brothers, now is the time to fight. If Anshun is lost, Hong Jinglue will chop off my head!"

"And before my head is chopped off! I have ten thousand ways to chop off your heads!"

Nan Yikui pulled out his sword and said ferociously: "If anyone dares not to fight hard and makes my head fall off, I will chop off his head first today."

"All of you, give me all your strength and follow me to kill the Southern Barbarian!"

"Yes!" A large number of Qing army generals responded.

"Kill!" A Ming soldier shouted and climbed onto the Anshun city wall.

But before he could jump off the parapet, several spears swarmed up and stabbed him down.

Then when this Ming soldier was stabbed, the No. 2 Ming soldier quickly climbed up, holding a saber in his hand, and jumped into the crowd of Qing soldiers.

"Kill, kill!"

In an instant, the Ming soldier seemed to have gone crazy, slashing like crazy, but was quickly stabbed to death by the Qing army with a spear.

But his hard fighting bought the Ming army time.

After the Qing army killed this Ming army, several Ming soldiers had already climbed onto the city wall, jumped into the crowd, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Qing army.

"Kill!" The Qing army in charge of the area's defense personally stepped forward with a knife to kill, commanding the Qing army to quickly deal with these Ming soldiers.

But when the last Ming soldier fell, more Ming soldiers swarmed onto the city.

"The Southern Barbarians are crazy! The Southern Barbarians are crazy!" Then the Qing army's defenders were chatting with teeth.

He was horrified as he watched more and more Ming troops forcefully climb the city wall regardless of life and death.

"Revenge for the brothers!" He didn't have time to panic.

A sword only slashed at his forehead, which stunned the Qing guard.

"Brothers, cut off his head!" Several more sabers came at him.

This Qing army guard eventually died in the hands of the Ming army, and even his head was cut off.

"Master Garrison is dead..." Looking at the scene in front of them, the Qing army on the city wall was stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

"Kill!" A large number of Ming troops pounced on these Qing soldiers who had lost their command like hungry wolves.

"Run!" A voice sounded. The Qing army, whose morale had plummeted due to the killing of its defenders, finally collapsed completely under the threat of death and became the prey of the Ming army.

Then at this moment, the Ming army, which had just occupied an area on the city wall, had not yet breathed a sigh of relief.

A large number of elite Qing troops, led by the commander-in-chief Nan Yikui, rushed towards them.

"Kill me!" Hundreds of armored Qing troops quickly destroyed the Ming army like a torrent.

Constantly devouring the soldiers of the Ming Army.

"Hurry up the city wall!" Seeing this, a Ming Army officer shouted, trying to summon more Ming Army soldiers to the city to resist these elite Qing troops.

However, the Ming army relied on a few ladders to transport troops, but it was still too slow after all.

In the end, Nan Yikui personally killed the Ming army officer and led the Qing army to completely control the area.

"Kill me!" Nan Yikui shouted.

The elite troops of the Qing army quickly smashed countless thunder stones and rolling logs, and overturned the Ming army's ladders, stabilizing the area.

After leaving some elites to guard this area.

Nan Yikui led his soldiers and fought continuously on the Anshun city wall. The few Ming troops who climbed into the wall were outnumbered and died under the sword of the Qing army.

In Wengcheng, under siege from all sides by the Qing army, countless Ming soldiers died in the hands of the Qing army.

"Brothers, hit me!" a Ming army officer roared, commanding the car to slam into the second city gate of Anshun.

dong dong dong-

There was a heavy knock on the door.

Anshun City has four gates: Chaotian in the east, Huaiyuan in the west, Yong'an in the south, and Zhenyi in the north.

Since Anshun was destroyed in the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Anshun City was rebuilt during the Sun Kewang era.

Although it is an important city, because Xiying does not have strong financial resources, there is only one barbican in each of the four gates of Anshun.

As long as they can break open the second gate of Huaiyuan Gate, the soldiers of the Ming army can swarm in and capture Anshun.

Instead of using ladders to transport troops slowly, they would be annihilated by the Qing army's superior strength due to lack of support.

It's just that the Ming army is fighting for their lives at this time, and the Qing army has also begun to fight for their lives at this time.

Bang bang bang!Countless lead bullets were fired from the four walls, killing countless Ming soldiers.

The Ming army, in the barbican city, fought back desperately with muskets and bows and arrows.

However, the Qing army was condescending and under attack from all sides.

The Ming army's firepower was suppressed to death.

"Hurry up and bring the artillery!" a Qing guerrilla shouted and ordered.

Some artillery on the city wall were quickly pushed over and aimed at the Ming army in Wengcheng.

A Qing soldier quickly took action and planned to light a fire, but he succeeded before he could.

A sharp arrow penetrated his throat.

Facing the dark muzzles of the Qing army, the Ming army fired wildly at the Qing army's artillery.

There was a loud bang, and a lead bullet hit a Franco machine gun of the Qing army.

The high temperature and sparks generated by friction triggered the shells in the Franco machine cannon.

In an instant, smoke dispersed, and several Qing soldiers fell dead in the explosion of the artillery.

Then, before the Ming army could be happy, more than ten explosive bombs were fired into the barbican.

boom! boom! boom!
More than a dozen fires rang out, and a large number of Ming troops were killed or injured by explosive bombs.

"Hit the Nanmanzi's chariot!" a Qing army general shouted.

The Qing army's artillery lowered its muzzle and aimed at the charging car that was hitting the city gate.

Boom boom boom!
After several loud noises, at the last city gate of Anshun, the Ming army's charge fell into pieces.

Next to the rushing car, there were a large number of corpses of Ming army soldiers.
