"That's right. Otherwise, wouldn't our soldiers have died in vain?”
A few Mongolian awesome players shouted anxiously.
Ao Bai said calmly,"Haha, you Mongolians are best at charging on horseback, but attacking a city is different.
He ordered the eight-bull crossbows and catapults to be ready. In an hour, they would begin the next round of attack!”
It turned out that Ao Bai was prepared to use a rotation method to continuously harass the city defense forces.
In the beginning, there would be a certain number of casualties, but as the resistance on the city walls gradually grew tired, flaws would eventually appear in the city and it would be broken in one fell swoop.
If they were to blindly attack, the price they would have to pay would be even greater. If they were to fight head-on, the final result would often be that they would return empty-handed.
Ao Bai was very knowledgeable about this.
? On top of the city walls, some soldiers saw the Mongolian soldiers retreat and shouted happily.
"The northern bandits have retreated!"
"Haha, they ran away!"
When Zhou Yuxiang saw this scene, he cursed at the soldiers who were beaming with joy.
"Motherf * cker! What are you shouting for! They did not retreat! Quick, prepare the rocks and arrows. They will soon have another round of attack.”
When the soldiers heard this, they frowned again. A few of them sat down on the city wall and sighed.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Go and prepare! If these people enter the city, you girls will be ruined!”
Hearing this, the person sitting on the ground gritted his teeth and threw himself back into the battle preparations.
They knew that these people were different from Li Zicheng. Surrendering to Li Zicheng would not only save his life, but also protect his family's property.
However, when these Mongolians and Qing people entered the city, nothing was left alive.
The only way was to fight to the death!
As expected, an hour later, there was a rain of arrows, mixed with the attacks of the catapults.
The defenders on the city wall were beaten until they could not raise their heads. By the time he could raise his head, the Mongolian soldiers had already swarmed to the city like a tide.
"Guard the city walls! Don't let the Mongolian soldiers come up!"
However, a gap still appeared on the city wall.
More than ten Mongolian soldiers climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders and the Eight Bulls Crossbows embedded in the city wall.
The Mongolian soldiers were also very brave. They climbed onto the city wall and waved their sabers wildly, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to tear open a bigger gap.
"The Mongolian army is coming! Kill!"
At this moment, the Ming army also began to resist officially.
Zhou Yuxiang was the first to rush into the gap with his saber. Dozens of Ming soldiers behind him also raised their sabers and spears and pounced over.
Behind him was his home. Only by fighting to the death could he survive.
Their actions were like the difference between the Da Shun army and the Da Tong garrison.
Facing such resistance, the usually valiant Mongolian soldiers were helpless. After leaving dozens of corpses behind, they returned empty-handed.
In Ao Bai's tent, the Mongolian Jia from before found Ao Bai angrily and said,"I can't let my soldiers die like this!”
Oboi, sitting in his big chair, shot him a fierce look.
"Are you afraid of death?"
The cold and murderous gaze sent chills down the back of the Mongolian soldier. He could only lower his voice and speak.
"Lord Lieutenant, attacking like this will only increase the number of casualties.”
"How to charge? There were still many rocks on the city wall, and there were also many bows and arrows.
Originally, a stone could hit a person.
If everyone attacked together, the result would be that a stone could hit several people. Don't you understand this principle?”
The Mongolian soldier was speechless.
"Alright, you Mongolians have already charged for two rounds. Let's go for the third round! Where is Tudor?"
"Yes!" Todor flashed out from the side.
When the Qing army fought, they would often see Bei Le Bei Zi and even the emperor's uncles go into battle to kill.
This was also an important reason why the Qing Dynasty could defeat the Ming Dynasty.
"Battle!"
"Tsk!"
After receiving the order, Tudor led his 1,000 men to attack the city.
At this moment, the city was already exhausted, although there were not many casualties.
However, these people did not even have the time to drink water or catch their breath. They were afraid that if they left their posts, the enemy soldiers would take the opportunity to climb up the city walls.
"Men of the Eight Banners, if you climb up the city wall, you will be rewarded with ten fine horses and a cow's record!"”
With such a great reward, there would definitely be brave men. The Qing soldiers cried out and rushed to the edge of the city.
They held wooden shields in their hands to block the arrows shot by the Ming army. When they reached the city, they used ladders, hooks, nooses, and crossbows.
Stepping on the Mongolian corpses, he continued to climb up.
Seeing that the soldiers had attracted the attention of the Ming army to the city wall, Tudor waved his hand.
"Heyo! Hey yo! Heyo!"
More than a hundred soldiers carried a thick log with an iron tip wrapped around it on a rope and walked out of the central army.
This was another weapon used by the Qing army to break through the city-the siege hammer.
It looked simple and crude, but the siege hammer was easy to make, and the engineering effect was not bad.
A normal small city would shatter its city gate with a few strikes.
Even a city gate like Da Tong could be broken through. It was just that it would take a little more time and a few more shifts.
Zhou Yuxiang knew the power of this kind of battering ram. He quickly organized the archers and shot arrows in the direction of the battering ram.
However, the Qing soldiers had wooden tokens on their heads, so it was difficult for bows and arrows to be effective.
"Hurry up! Go and tell General Guan that the Qing army is using siege hammers!”Zhou Yuxiang ordered a soldier to report.
At this moment, Guan Shou and Yu Bao were playing chess in the Datong government office. When they heard the news, Yu Bao smiled and said,
"This time, it might be General Guan's turn.”
Guan Shou originally still had a calm and composed appearance. Hearing Yu Bao say this, his phoenix eyes widened as he said sternly.
"Raise your saber! Prepare the horses!" The voice was terrifying.
At this moment, the city gate that had been bombarded by the Hongyi Cannons was already on the verge of collapse under the bombardment of the Qing army's siege hammers.
"Work harder!"
"Hey yo!" "Boom ~"
"Hey yo!" "Boom ~"
Seeing that victory was in sight, the Qing army quickened their pace.
"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly, there was a drumbeat from the door.
"Squeak squeak ~" Another opening appeared in the city gate.
"Kill them!"
Before the Qing army could figure out what was going on, the 300 iron pagodas rushed out.
With shields in one hand and sabers in the other, they hacked at the Qing soldiers who were only holding wooden tokens.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The leader of the Qing army saw that the situation was not good and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them. The Qing soldiers had already thrown down their siege hammers and ran back to the camp.
In front of the city gate, 300 iron pagodas were lined up in neat rows. Their armor was neat, and their sabers were shining.
Guan Shou was dressed in a green robe and golden armor. He rode a red horse and looked majestic.
He slowly walked out of the city gate. Behind him was a soldier holding a large flag. On it was a large 'Guan' character that fluttered in the wind.
Guan Shou had a proud expression as he pointed his saber at the Qing army's leader, Duo Duo.
"Little Slave Jian! Do you dare to fight me?"
