Han’s Son is Not a Slave

In the cave of the city gate, the battalion was still struggling to hit the city gate with the shield cart, but when it hit the cloud, the iron-clad gate remained motionless.

With two beeps, the two shield cars that had been hitting the door finally fell apart due to excessive force. As soon as the shield car fell apart, the battalionmen who pushed the car hurriedly moved the disintegrated shield car to one side. The officer who led the team hurriedly shouted to the outsiders to push two new shield cars in.

On the tower of the city gate, the Qing army below found that another shield car arrived at the cave of the city gate, and the Taiping army above immediately dropped the stone, and the guards on both sides shot it with guns.

The Qing troops who were continuously hit by the stones from the city also learned it well. Shouting and scattered around. The Taiping army threw several stones in a row, but no one was hit.

The stones prepared on the city were almost exhausted, and the young men had not yet brought new stones up. After smashing a few stones and not hitting anyone, the Taiping army on the city gate had to temporarily stop throwing stones and switch to the nearest one. The gunmen of the guard camp went to beat those Qing troops.

However, the gun is no threat to the shield car. When you hit it, you only hear a "pop" sound. The huge shield was placed on the head, and then one by one, the body was shrunk in, only the small half of the buttocks was exposed. In this way, except for a very few unlucky unlucky ones who were hit by guns, most of the Qing troops were able to rush into the city gates safely.

With a loud bang, the two shield trucks that had been pushed forward with great effort slammed into the city gate again, causing the city gate to shake slightly, and a piece of dust fell, and the solid stone behind the gate also shook. , a few stones rolled aside.

"one two Three!"

The battalionmen became excited when they saw the city gate shaking. Roaring loudly, he pushed the shield cart again and slammed into the city gate.

.........

The battalionmen who were climbing the city heard the shouts of the cave of the city gate, and the Taiping army on the top of the city could not do anything about the cave in the city gate. Can't help but regain morale, every time the shield car hits the city gate. They all cheered, as if the city gate was about to be smashed open.

The cave of the city gate was right under their feet, but there was nothing they could do about the Qing army below. The battalion of the guard battalion, who was transferred up, still had guns in hand, but the Qing troops who killed and wounded were pitiful.

No matter how sturdy the city gate was, and no matter how solid it was behind it, the Qing army couldn't help but keep bumping into it. Even if it is not knocked open, as long as it is knocked out of a big hole, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Big brother, you have to think of a way quickly, or the city gate will be knocked open by them sooner or later!"

Seeing that this could not go on, Ge Yi gritted his teeth and wanted to hang some brothers who were not afraid of death from the ropes to stop the Qing army, but his elder brother Ge Zheng grabbed him and looked down the city. Shouting: "Tiantianlei. Use Tiantianlei!"

Hearing Baihu's order, the soldiers froze for a moment, and hurriedly threw the "Tiantian Lei" in their hands.

The thunderbolt made by the trap camp is limited by the amount of gunpowder. The weight is not much, and Guifengshan used more than half of it in the first battle. When the new meeting entered the city, another batch was bombed. These two days were busy fortifying the city defense, and they did not dare to use the medicine of artillery, so the trapped camp did not make new ones. Zhentian Lei came out, and now each battalion has only a dozen on hand. Therefore, before the war, Zhou Shixiang repeatedly stated that the only thunderbolts remaining in each battalion must be used at the time of life and death, and must not be used in advance.

In Ge Zheng's view, this juncture is a matter of life and death. If the city gate is knocked open, then everything is over. What are you waiting for at this moment?

After the six or seven thunderbolts were lit and thrown down, the Qing army below did not realize what was thrown on the city. Some people who saw it were also surprised how the thieves threw the firecrackers down. When they realized that the firecrackers seemed to be wrong, there were several loud bangs, and countless iron nails flew towards them with the choking smell of gunpowder. . ?

"My eyes, my eyes!"

"Ah!...Ugh!"

Under the blow of the thunder, the city gate cave was filled with black smoke and wailing.

"Tung oil!"

When the blow worked, Ge Zheng shouted and smashed a can of tung oil for lighting the lamp from the hands of the two civilians, and then involuntarily pulled out a torch from the fire where the gold was boiled and threw it down.

Tung oil is the oil used for ignition, and it ignites as soon as it touches the fire. The cave of the city gate is full of broken wood, and the flames rise immediately. The Taiping army above threw the flammable quilts and firewood into the cloud, and soon the city gate was full. is fire.

The fire was accompanied by black smoke, and the battalion inside couldn't keep coughing and couldn't keep their eyes open. The battalionmen who were burned by the fire rushed out screaming and rolled on the ground.

There was fire, smoke, and iron nails that exploded and flew around. The green camp that hit the city gate couldn't hold it anymore, and they retreated one after another. Even the officers who led the team were afraid that they would slow down and become a dead ghost.

The collapse of the cave of the city gate quickly led to a surge. The battalion soldiers who saw the officers were running even spread their legs. The battalion soldiers on the escalators under the city wall did not even care about their companions on the ladder. Running behind, making a mess.

Shang Zhixin, who was watching the battle, saw this, his face sank, and he was about to speak, but when he saw Ban Zhifu looking south as if he had fallen into evil, he couldn't help but follow him, but he was stunned there. .

In sight, the banner of Zhenfan, representing King Pingnan, is slowly approaching surrounded by countless guards.

........

Seeing the collapse of the Qing army, Zhou Shixiang hurriedly shouted at the dozens of gunmen on the left and right, pointed at the battalion soldiers still standing on the ladder and shouted: "Hit, kill them!"

Hearing the shouting, those gunmen rushed over with their fire guns, pointed their guns to the ladders, and there was a sound of gunshots, and more than 20 battalionmen were hit by the guns and fell from the ladder. . More than 100 archers from the Guards Battalion Archery Team were also transferred to the city and gathered to shoot arrows at the battalion soldiers who were still on the ladder.

In the chaos, Lin Shanzhi did not run with the defeated soldiers. He ordered his own soldiers to stop the defeated soldiers while ordering the archers to suppress the city.

The Qing army archers shot their bows and arrows towards the duokou with red eyes. There were dozens of old archers among them. They shot very accurately. The bowstring sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows were nailed to the dozens of crenels above the city gate. The gunman who was busy loading the medicine was shot a dozen times. Someone who was lying on the outside suddenly screamed and fell into the city. The archer and Qing Zhuang were also shot seven or eight, with serious or minor injuries. They gritted their teeth and endured being hurried down the city by their companions.

There were screams all over the city. Dozens more battalions were hit. The Taiping Army's guns, who suffered a loss, became smarter and no longer showed their crenels. After shooting the gun, they squatted on the spot, and the green camp couldn't shoot them. When the medicine was ready, he lifted the gun up, and squatted when it was fired. He was very cunning, so angry that the green camp archers in the city cursed at their mothers.

One of the gun's hands and feet was a little slower, and after the gun was fired, he didn't squat down for the first time. He was hit by an arrow from a battalion soldier with high archery skills at the bottom of the city. Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, he was in a hurry and wanted to dodge to the side. , the whole person took a few steps back and stopped. He raised his hand and touched it, pulling it hard, and his face was immediately covered with blood. Look left. It was his right eyeball that was nailed to the arrow. When his face changed, he went crazy. Waving the arrow stick with his own eyeballs, he ran around the city gate.

A few young men were mad when they saw him lose their minds, and were about to go forward and hold him down, but before they could rush up, an arrow that came out of nowhere flew towards his neck, the sharp arrow. The momentum was fierce, and it was deeply inserted into his neck, bleeding profusely. Man, after more than ten seconds, he died.

The young men witnessed the man's death. They were so stunned that they didn't dare to move, or the Zhen Captive Camp had a few young men standing around a corpse foolishly. In a hurry, he stepped forward and shouted at them, "He, mother, wants to die, so you haven't found a place to hide!" Only then did the young men wake up. Even rolling and crawling to find a place to hide from the arrow.

Under the city tower, the smoke is choking now, and the thick smoke that comes out has scorched all the door openings. The battalion soldiers in the doorway couldn't take it anymore, they choked their lungs every time they took a breath, and they couldn't open their eyes for a long time. Seeing that the archers who were covering them had already run away, they rushed out in a hurry. For a moment, except for more than a hundred corpses under the city gate, there was no one living person to be seen.

Lin Shanzhi saw that he couldn't climb the city, and he couldn't hit the door. Instead, so many people were killed and injured. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet there. Go to die again, push each other, and no one is willing to move.

Lin Shanzhi was helpless and did not dare to force it. Otherwise, these battalions would really turn red and kill themselves in front of the battle to surrender to the Taiping Army in the city. Fortunately, although these battalions did not dare to attack the city again, no one dared to rebel.

In the end, Lin Shanzhi could only send his own soldiers to quickly ask His Royal Highness to order the withdrawal of the troops. He also asked the remaining hundreds of archers to shoot at the city without interruption. Queer and anger.

The distance is too close, the artillery can't hit, the gun can't hit, and he dare not lead people out of the city to pursue, for a while, Zhou Shixiang has no effective means to destroy the green battalion remnants. They could only give orders to keep firing their guns, and everyone else hid behind the arrow shield to avoid being shot by the Qing army's arrows.

The situation of the battle was obvious, the green camp under the city could no longer attack the city, but the Taiping army on the city did not dare to leave the city, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

The Qing army camp in the rear finally sounded the sound of gold to withdraw troops, Lin Shanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Hearing the order to withdraw the troops, the remaining battalion soldiers, as if receiving amnesty, retreated one by one with their heads drooping ~www.NovelMTL.com~ After a brief silence, the Taiping army on the top of the city burst into cheers, "The Tartars have retreated. , Tartar is back!"

"We kept it, we kept it, we kept it!"

"..."

Soldiers and young men embraced and cried, jumping there excitedly. After Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong heard the cheers from the top of the city, they looked at each other in unison, with happy smiles on their faces.

As the cheers spread, the entire Xinhui city was boiling, and the surviving people of Xinhui who were anxiously waiting for their fate were also excited, holding their relatives in the house, laughing and crying excitedly...

The prisoners of the Han army flag and the green camp were neither happy nor sad, they just stared blankly at the green camp fleeing under the city without saying a word.

The victory of the battle, the improvement of military morale, the improvement of morale, and the blow to the Qing army are indescribable. This battle is also the first time that Zhou Shixiang led his troops to defend the city. He couldn't help but be excited. When the defense was reorganized, they saw a banner of Zhenfan embroidered with four-clawed dragons erected on the opposite side of the Qing army camp. (To be continued)
