Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 164: Offense and defense (3)

The green battalion in front was attacking the city with heavy casualties, but the Qing army camp in the rear was silent.

After paying nearly half of the casualties, the Guangzhou Green Battalion finally reached the Xinhui city wall. This time the battalion was not afraid of the artillery on the city, but the stones that fell from time to time on the city were more frightening than the cannon.

The cannon smashed and the corpse was split. After all, there was still a shape. The stone fell, but it was smashed together with the head, and it was made into a ball with the mud and blood on the ground. It's black, sticky, and looks so unremarkable.

The Guangzhou Green Camp adopted a typical ancient siege method. They bravely approached the city wall, put countless ladders on the wall, and the battalions who climbed the city stepped on people to climb up. On the side of the city gate cave, after smashing more than a dozen shield carts, two shield carts finally got into it at the risk of death, and then rammed into the city gate so hard that the stones blocked behind the city gate could not be stopped. slide.

The artillery stopped roaring, and it was time to defend the city. At every crenel on the city wall, Taiping soldiers stabbed down with long spears.

The archers of the battalion finally had a useful place after they approached the city wall. Among them, the archers with high skills aimed at the crenel, and nine arrows could hit out of ten arrows. Those with low archery skills are obliquely drawn longbows, and the arrows shot either fall on the city wall, or fall over the wall and into the city.

The arrows of the battalion soldiers were so skillful and accurate that the Taiping army did not dare to look under the probe, and the pressure on the city suddenly increased.

On the south side, there are more than a dozen cloud ladders full of battalion soldiers, and the highest climber is less than one person away from the stack. Seeing this, the small flag officer above screamed, and suddenly several Taiping soldiers shouted and worked hard together. Pulling the iron chain on the hand, the "golden juice" that was boiled and splashed from the pot was hoisted to the top of the stack. Then let go together.

"Pfft!"

The hot oil was spilled from a high place, and the Qing army below was instantly scalded, and the faces of the battalions who were bearing the brunt were all scalded. There was blood red in the darkness, and there was no face. Obviously a skeleton.

The battalion below was not so miserable, but who wasn't scalded and screamed, those with double armor were better, at most they were called hot oil scalding their scalps, and those with bad luck called oil into their stomachs, "Buzz" With a heart-wrenching sound, I reached out to touch it, but it hurt even more when I touched it. If it was seriously hot, it was just a layer of meat.

The unarmored battalion was the miserable one. No one was scalded to death, but there were widespread burns all over the body, and there was nothing good at a glance. The golden juice was not only hot oil, but also large feces, which had an unpleasant smell, and there were countless poisonous bacteria in it. A scald is a trivial matter, but bacteria entering a wound is a big deal.

The Taiping army on the city was strong in resistance, and people jumped from the city with arrows from time to time. The ladders of the Qing army also fell one after another, and everyone in the city was red-eyed, and no one was willing to take a step back. The city gate was blocked by Zhou Shixiang's order. Therefore, Ren Qingjun's shield chariot slammed **** the door, but the door remained motionless, but the rock pile behind it collapsed several times, but was blocked by Qingzhuang.

Xinhui Qingzhuang, who was forcibly recruited by the Taiping Army, was already a grasshopper on a rope with the Taiping Army. Once the Qing army broke the city, their fate could be imagined. In addition, before the war, Zhou Shixiang ordered Song Xianggong to guard the Qing army. All the tragic events in Xinhui told Qingzhuang, and also said that the Qing army had broken the city and massacred the city. Most of the young people who were not Xinhui people naturally had no choice. Only to bite the bullet and hold on to the end.

The Qing army captives would have their minds twitching, but the Taiping army took it very seriously. Ignoring the lack of troops in the city, I was stunned to assign manpower to supervise them. Therefore, if they want to have a change, they must first measure whether their defenseless self can outrun the swordsman behind them.

The golden juice was poured down in a pot, the stones were smashed down one by one, and the lime was sprinkled down one by one. Everything that could kill the Qing army was prepared by the Taiping army, and finally the whole stick The wood is thrown down.

The wood was long and thick, and it was thrown down the city wall, and one of them could carry at least four or five ladders. The Qing army on the ladder was unable to avoid it and directly smashed it down. Those with sharp eyes and quick hands had nowhere to hide, so they could only jump off the ladder one second earlier.

The battle has been going on for nearly half an hour, but apart from the battalion soldiers who are still trying to climb the city, there is no place to see the Qing army in the city.

The battalion offensive was fierce, but there was always a moment of exhaustion. Except for the cold arrows on the Taiping side, the casualties were not too large. The random guard battalion was not deployed, and the battle situation was beneficial to the Taiping army.

Zhou Shixiang has been observing the opposite Qing army camp, judging when the main force of the Qing army will come up, but it seems that there is no sign that the Qing army is attacking the whole army. , but let these green campers die under the city.

In the Qing army camp opposite, there were also people observing the city with a telescopic mirror. From the moment he ordered the Green Battalion to attack, he has always been paying attention to the situation of the battle. When he saw that the Green Battalion had rushed into the city for so long and failed to climb to the top of the city, he shook his head and handed the telescopic mirror to Ghosh next to him. Ha, and then said to Ban Zhifu: "This Taiping army seems to be stronger than the other Ming armies, and the guards are also courageous. Seeing that the movement on the city is not chaotic, it seems that Lin Shanzhi will not be able to win the new club."

"Calling Lin Shanzhi to supervise the soldiers was originally a test. It would be better if they could be taken, but it doesn't matter if they couldn't take it. They will be surrounded by them for a few days, and when the prince comes in person, there will be people in the city who are afraid of death. also broken."

In the battle of breaking the city, Ban Zhifu has participated in countless battles since he was in Liaodong. He has tried the trick of cooperating with the inside and the outside. Although the current Taiping army is strong, can it be stronger than the Daming Liaozhen? How elite are the frontier soldiers in Liao Town~www.NovelMTL.com~ What will happen in the end, and how did the city that was blown so strong be destroyed? The strong city in this world is not scary, what is scary is the human heart. Information has been gathered from all over the place. This Taiping army is only a single army, with no more than ten thousand troops. Such a meager force is trapped in the isolated city. The end is already doomed. It only needs to be surrounded for a period of time.

Seeing that Lin Shanzhi could not be attacked for a long time and the casualties were too great, Ban Zhifu asked, "Your Highness, did you order to withdraw the troops?"

"Let's look at it for a while." Shang Zhixin didn't care about the casualties of these green battalion soldiers, "I want to see what other means the defender has yet to use."

............

After a long time, thousands of people crowded under the city and were slaughtered by the city like fish. After a long time, the battalion was not made of iron. Some people tried to run back, but they were all chopped and killed by the officers behind.

Lin Shanzhi's eyes were also red. He wanted to show his hand in front of the Prince's Highness, but who would have thought that this Taiping army was really difficult to fight, and the battle has been fought so far, and he has lost more than half of it. Although all the losses were to the battalions of the counties under the Guangzhou government, and the soldiers and horses of his direct line did not lose much, but the face was lost too much, how could he tell His Royal Highness when he turned back, he had patted his chest and said that he had broken the city in one fell swoop!
