Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1407 Liangzhou Siege
Under the city of Liangzhou, as the battle continued, the Ming army began to climb the city wall, and the musketeers began to freely aim and kill the Jin army at the top of the city.

A siege ladder was put up on the city wall, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers gathered at the bottom of the ladder. A Xiaoqi climbed up with a saber in his mouth and a rattan shield in one hand. The first Jin soldier leaked half of his body between the wall stacks hideously, picked up a boulder with both hands, and was about to smash it down, when suddenly his body trembled and was hit by a bludgeon in the chest. Fall sideways.

Thirty steps away from the city wall, behind a shielded chariot, soldiers of the Ming army took back the smoking firecrackers, handed them to their comrades, then took the loaded firecrackers, took them over and continued to shoot.

The reason why this method is used is that during the process of free shooting, one soldier always observes the top of the city and then shoots continuously. Compared with soldiers who reload and raise their guns to shoot, they undoubtedly know where to fight and where fire support is more needed.

Corpses and stones fell from the small flag, and the small flag ran up a few steps with the shield on it. At this time, another soldier with a spear appeared on the top of the city, replacing the vacancy of the golden soldier just now. The spear stabbed down and hit the rattan board that Xiaoqi held above his head, making Xiaoqi unable to continue climbing.

"Quick! Firecracker!" The firecracker just now fired a blank shot, and the projectile hit the wall. He turned his head and shouted urgently, handed the finished firecracker to his colleague, and then took another shot. Loaded firearms.

The soldier raised the blunderbuss and pointed it at the Jin Jun who was stabbing down with the spear, then took a deep breath, and when he exhaled, the trigger was pulled, the blunderbuss shook slightly, a cloud of white smoke rose, and a blunderbuss ball was thrown into the blunderbuss. The flames erupted everywhere in the tube, and the projectiles whizzed and shot directly at the top of the city.

The golden soldier holding the spear froze, the spear fell off the wall, and his body fell behind the wall.

Feeling that no one had stabbed his shield, Xiao Qi immediately took the opportunity to jump up and stood on the top of the wall. At this moment, another spear stabbed at him. Grabbing the spear, he withdrew a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Jin Jun in front of him, killed him with a knife in his hand, and then jumped onto the top of the wall.

Most of the Jin soldiers in the city were garrison troops. As soon as the small flag came up, they killed two people in a row. But at this moment, several spears came at the same time and stabbed him in the abdomen. Go down to the top of the city.

However, the soldiers of the Jin army were anxious and happy in the future, and immediately after the small flag, two Ming soldiers jumped up one after another.The Ming army from Qinghai was restricted by the terrain and inconvenient to supply. They did not have very sophisticated equipment, but their level of sophistication was not comparable to that of the soldiers of the Jin army. Facing the Ming army in the upper city, the soldiers of the Jin army could only carry out brutal life-changing fight.

Wang Deren was stationed under the banner of Dazhu, watching the Ming army who attacked the city continue to ascend the city wall, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He came out of Qinghai, to a certain extent, he was alone and went deep. The army camped in the wild, which made him a little uneasy. Only by taking Liangzhou as soon as possible, and then entering the city, can he remain invincible and wait for the main force to come west with peace of mind.

"Attack the battering ram!" Wang Deren ordered coldly.

Seventy to eighty soldiers of the Ming army in double armour, pushing huge battering rams, slowly approached the city gate under the dense protection of hundreds of shields.

Yu Yin personally supervised the battle in Nancheng, commanding angrily: "Fire arrows, smash fire pots! Don't let the Ming army approach the city gate."

The soldiers of the Golden Army at the top of the city fired arrows and guns again and again, and the fire cans were thrown down to catch fire, but they couldn't stop the centipede iron beetle.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, the city gate was shaking, Liangzhou was trembling, the bricks, stones and soil at the gate opening rustled down, the battering ram swung back again, and then amidst the soldiers' chanting, with the sound of thousands of The strength of the catty reverberated, and once again rushed towards the gate of Liangzhou city frantically.

There was another earth-shattering muffled sound, the city wall was shaking violently, the city gate was already crumbling, Yu Yin was unstable and almost fell, he was supported by soldiers, his face was pale, he couldn't help closing his eyes in pain, unwilling to admit that Liangzhou was It's almost over.

Behind the city gate, soldiers of the Golden Army holding spears crowded the door openings. They looked at the city gate which was shaken by the impact and the dust fell straight down. Their faces were pale, their throats were dry, and they panicked. I looked around, trying to get courage from the comrades around me, but I saw faces looking around in the same panic.

Watching the soldiers attacking the city, Wang Deren already smelled the breath of victory. Excitement leaked from his face, and he slowly pulled out the saber from his waist, his eyes fixed on the city gate of Liangzhou. With a wave of the sword, he commanded the army to enter the city.

At this moment, to the west of him, several cavalry came galloping, many of them still had arrow shafts stuck in their bodies, and they went straight to the banner of the Chinese army covered in blood, causing a commotion among the Ming army in formation. .

Wang Deren stared at the battlefield, the cavalry galloped not far away from him, he heard the movement, turned his head to look, but was startled.

The cavalry galloped over, but the horse didn't stop, and jumped off. Those who were shot by the arrows rolled off the horse, and several guards hurriedly stepped forward to check.

"Reporting to the military gate, west~west~ a large group of gold troops are coming, there are 6 to [-] people~" The leading scout walked a few steps, knelt down on one knee, panting like a cow and reported.

Hearing the words, Wang Deren was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he turned his head and looked west, only to see yellow dust all over the sky in the distance, and heard the shrill sound of horns.Sun Kewang led an army of [-], ran for more than [-] miles, and killed Liangzhou City at the most critical moment.

Seeing this, Wang Deren couldn't say a word, he couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's God's will!"

Sixty thousand horses, ten thousand hoofs trampling the ground, the momentum is extremely terrifying.Seeing this, the Ming army in formation suddenly broke into a commotion.Wang Deren was bitter in his heart and was very unwilling, but he could see the current situation clearly, immediately pulled out the rein of the horse, and ordered loudly: "Mingjin withdraws troops, orders all horses, abandons all luggage, and quickly withdraws to Xining Mansion!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Deren slapped his horse's buttocks, and galloped out. He didn't return to the camp, and fled directly to the south.

A golden sound of "Dangdangdang" sounded, and the soldiers of the Ming army who had already killed the top of the city were slightly taken aback, looking back in a daze, not knowing why the army gate had withdrawn their troops, but when they heard tens of thousands of horses galloping, and saw tens of thousands of horse troops walking When Xi Mian galloped towards him, his face was filled with astonishment.

In the current situation, there was no need to fight at all. The Ming troops who were still in the camp got on their horses one after another and rushed out of the camp at a gallop.

The cavalry of the Jin army galloped over, and thousands of horses advanced side by side, and they killed the southern city of Liangzhou in a short time. Wang Deren was defeated.

On the city wall, Yu Yin, who was already in despair, felt the shouts of killing from the top of the city quiet down for a moment, and then turned into cheers again, so he couldn't help but suddenly opened his eyes.

"Look, Mr. Anxi, King Anxi's reinforcements have arrived!" A general beside him pointed to the outside of the city, weeping with joy.

Yu Yin's expression brightened, he stood up, looked out of the city, and saw the Anxi army coming all over the sky, chasing and killing the defeated Ming army, he immediately clenched his fist and said excitedly: "King Anxi, you have lived up to my trust. , he finally dispatched troops!"

After speaking, Yu Yin turned his head and ordered loudly: "Open the city gate, let the army pursue, and make sure to hit the Ming thief hard."

As soon as Yu Yin finished speaking, a soldier hurried over to report, "Report to Mr. Han, Zhizhou Han is back."

Yu Yin was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Where is he? Is King Anxi here?"

"Reporting to my lord, just entered the west city, King Anxi hasn't entered the city yet!"

Before waiting for the soldiers to lead the people, Yu Yin hurried to the west city.

Han Hanliang and Sun Kewang's vanguard galloped back together. Sun Kewang led the army to attack the Ming army in the south city, and he entered the city from the west gate.

At this time, he learned that Yu Yin was commanding in Nancheng, so he came to Nancheng, and just halfway there, he met Yu Yin head-on. Yu Yin grabbed his arm happily and said happily: "Guoliang, thanks for moving Come to rescue the soldiers, or the truth will live and die with the city." He looked back, and Sun Kewang did not enter the city, so he shook Han Hanliang's arm and asked, "Where is King Anxi? Where did you meet?" The soldiers and horses of King Anxi."

"Report to Xianggong, King Anxi is going to raid the Ming army, and he probably won't enter the city for the time being." Han Liang saluted, then looked around, but suddenly pulled Yu Yin back, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, the next official is not I met Anxi Army on the road, but after I left Jiayuguan, I was taken to the Anxi Army Camp at the foot of Qingtou Mountain by the scouts of Anxi Army. According to the observation of the following officials, King Anxi had already arrived outside Jiayuguan and had been stationed for at least half a month... ·”

After hearing this, Yu Yin's face darkened, and he let go of his hands, his expression a bit ugly.
