Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 549 Breaking the city gate
In Wanxian City, which is several miles long, the shouts and killings shook the sky!
The Ming army mobilized a large number of troops, and countless soldiers charged towards the same goal, which is to capture Wanxian!
It is not terrible that Lü Gong's chariot was pulled down. The city wall is so long that if one car fell over, there were others who could climb up the city wall. As the well advanced, the Qing army on the horse's face was suppressed by the Ming army's shooters. It's not easy to pull down Mr. Lu's car.

Seeing several places being picked up by Lu Gong's car again, the Ming army swarmed up the city wall. On a horse in the distance, the Qing army had just hung the roof of the car with flying hooks. More than ten people joined forces and chanted in unison, "One, two!" Three, one, two, three", tilting Lu Gong's car, on the opposite side of the well, two Ming soldiers carried a swarm of bees and aimed at the horse's face, and more than 30 rockets suddenly rushed out, flying over the city, and instantly smashed the horse's face. Most of the Qing soldiers shot dead.

The tilted Lu public car fell back heavily, and the Ming army on it swayed a few times along with the body in shock, before stabilizing its figure, and killed it with a knife.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui immediately grabbed a soldier and shouted together: "Go to Beicheng, let Wu Guogui bring people over to support."

Liaodong generals also like to adopt adopted sons. Wu Sangui is less than forty, and among the generals under his command, Wu Guogui and Wu Guozheng are both his godsons.

The guard listened to the order, and just as he responded, he turned around when suddenly a person jumped down from the top of the wall and slashed at him. The guard was caught off guard and killed on the spot.

Wu Sangui's expression changed, and he raised his saber in his hand. The Ming army who jumped into the city was immediately thrown down if he couldn't dodge.Seeing that there were many Ming soldiers in the upper city, and his own soldiers were only focused on fighting, he shouted anxiously: "Rocket, fire pot, burn the car."

Wang Pingfan, the commander of the personal soldiers, led more than a dozen Qing soldiers to protect him first.

Under the city, Wang Yan closely watched the battle situation. Where the offensive was not smooth, or the losses were too great, he immediately ordered supplements.

The sound of brutal fighting spread inside and outside the city, weapons collided, artillery roared, and soldiers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the top of the city kept falling down the city.The burnt golden juice flowed from top to bottom of the city, pouring on the climbing soldiers, and the soldiers screamed again and again.

A fire pot just fell into Lu Gong's car through the gap in the baffle, and the flames burned from inside the car. The fire engulfed the tower completely, and the soldiers inside immediately withdrew. Many soldiers were covered with kerosene, and the flames burned on them Burning, they screamed and wailed, scurrying and rolling under the city, and it took a long time for them to be silent, only the flames flickered and black smoke was left.

People die in war, Wang Yan didn't care about his heartache, he was looking at the entire battlefield, looking for possible breakthrough points.

At this time, his eyes fell on the gate of Nancheng, and he did not leave.Because of the slope, the bigger the machine, the slower it will move.

After Yunti, Lu Gongche, and Jinglan arrived at the city successively, the siege hammer pushed by nearly a hundred Ming troops also slowly approached the city gate.

This gigantic monster was built by the Ming army from a giant tree cut down nearby. The impact wood was three feet long, thicker than a bucket, and the impact head was covered with a layer of iron.

This huge city-crashing cone was placed on a cart, supported by a wooden frame, and hung by thick iron cables, and was specially used to smash through the city gates.

There is a roof on the car, which is also covered with cowhide, which can defend against the attacks of rolling stones, bows and arrows, and cupping cans.

Wanxian is a small city, there is no Wengcheng, and if the city gate is breached, the Ming army can rush in and kill Wu Sangui with a single blow.

At this time, most of the tower above the city gate had been destroyed by the catapult machine. In addition, the siege cone had a top, and the Qing soldiers on the city wall fired arrows and blunderbuss. The best archers can keep shooting towards the Ming army advancing towards the city gate.

"Damn, have you arrived yet?" Wang Guangtai pushed the battering ram together with the soldiers, and protected their advancing large shield soldiers on both sides. The shields were already nailed with feathered arrows, and the roof of the car was also full of arrows, like hedgehogs. generally.

The Qing soldiers also felt the huge threat of the siege cone. The Qing soldiers on the city wall, under the command of the general, smashed the tin cans, and the rocket hit the roof of the car, and a big fire suddenly ignited. A large hole was left, and the soldiers were crushed to death. Immediately, another soldier filled it up, pushing the siege cone and continuing to move forward.

"It's here, it's here." The shield of the Ming army tightly covered the siege cone, and there was a roof on it, so those who pushed behind could not see the distance to the city gate at all.

The siege cone was pressed against the city gate, and the crowd couldn't move it. Only then did the soldiers in front react and immediately shouted a reminder. "Okay, boys, we are the first to break open the city gate." Standing in the middle of the car, Wang Guangtai yelled, and together with the men beside the car, he pulled the iron chain, leaned back at the same time, and the giant tree suddenly swayed .

When they let go, the battering ram swayed and slammed into the city gate. With the impact, the entire city wall trembled, and a large cloud of dust fell from the city wall.

The Ming army outside the city yelled their horns and crashed, but the Qing army behind the city gate was silent for a while without making a sound. They all stood against the city gate with heavy faces, and their bodies shook rhythmically with the impact of the siege cone outside. Like He Miao in the rice field being blown by the wind, swaying again and again.

On the city wall, Hu Guozhu saw the bricks and stones on the city wall falling down with the impact, and he was very anxious. Seeing that the city gate might not be safe, he hurriedly called a group of people to go down the city.

The Ming army pulled the siege cone and stubbornly slammed into the city gate one after another. Finally, the hard work paid off.

The Ming army suddenly roared, and rushed in with anxious shouts. Dust fell from the door opening from time to time, and the Ming army rushing in front suddenly screamed again and again, and dense lead bullets were thrown in pieces.

Wang Guangtai stopped for a while. He could already see the streets of Wan County from the gate. treat.

The Ming army outside the city saw the city gate being knocked open, and immediately cheered and rushed towards the city gate. The soldiers afterward, not understanding the situation inside the gate, kept pushing in. The Ming army inside the gate was just pushed directly. He slammed into the Humen knife cart and was picked on the point of the gun until he died.

The two armies formed a human wall inside the door opening. The Ming army squeezed in, and the Qing soldiers pushed out. The soldiers squeezed face to face.

However, there are many Ming soldiers and few Qing soldiers. In the overall situation, the Qing army was squeezed out step by step by the Ming army. But at this moment, dense and hurried footsteps suddenly sounded on the street. Wu Guogui from Beicheng won Wu Sangui's Order, mobilize 3000 men and horses to completely block the door opening.
