The cannon roared all day long, constantly sending shells into the city.

It is very convenient to transport all kinds of accessories, accompanied by craftsmen, who bring migrant workers to cut wood and make catapults.

Then fire bombs and bombs are thrown, and stone bullets are released when they are free.

The fire bomb is the kind of oil altar, a dozen large pieces, the imperial army has just assembled two catapults, and the tall catapults are placed at the east gate, and they will try their skills.

Two fire bombs whistled towards the gate tower with a long trail of smoke.

In China, oil is expensive, and the general army mostly uses stone bombs, but that thing is cheap, and oil bombs are very rare, and large-scale use of oil bombs will be scolded as a loser, and if it is fought, it will end in bankruptcy.

However, the imperial army said that it would be lost, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Therefore, Guangzhou was not lost, it was fortunate for the imperial court, once Guangzhou was lost, the political impact was far-reaching, and the people's hearts were closer to the dragon sons and grandsons who turned their backs to the Zhu family, and it was really Guangzhou's incomparably abundant wealth, materials and manpower were used by Zhu Youlang, including a large number of oil jars in the armament warehouse, which was enough to bring his rebellion to a new level!

Fortunately, fortunately!

A large amount of thermal oil was transported from the southeast, which was used to light up both sides of the Pearl River in peacetime, adding infinite brilliance to the night view of the Pearl River.

In wartime, it is used to siege the city and show its power, how good!

The city gate tower in the east of Guilin was hit by a fire bomb, burned quickly, turned into a huge torch, at that time, the imperial army deliberately attacked before entering the dark, the city gate tower encountered fire oil on fire, could not be saved, in the night light ten miles, the night lit up a piece, particularly eye-catching!

The defenders were stunned and helpless, even the resolute Lin Jiading was speechless, he was already determined to die with the city, and he was more worried about others.

He was right, in the early morning of the second day after the destruction of the East Gate Tower, thousands of imperial troops routinely attacked, mainly using bows and arrows and throwing bombs.

Such attacks were carried out day and night to exhaust the enemy troops.

The reason is to bring people to their dreams, and when people are sleeping soundly, they are called to get up and urinate at night.

They did not carry siege equipment, and there were no generals to follow, so the defenders were only on guard and pay attention to resist and beware, and did not have to worry too much.

When this army moved to the south of the city, the gate of Tudi was opened, and I saw that some foot soldiers of the Yongli Army were standing inside the city gate, and the city gate was opened by them.

The officer headed by this unit is called Xu Dazhuang, who is the "regular soldier" of the previous Guilin defenders, that is, the soldiers who have eaten the rice of the southeast king, he was originally good in Guilin, training every day, eating at the point, supporting food every month, and living a good life, who knows that the thunderbolt on a sunny day, the Guilin defenders mutinied and joined the rebellion.

Xu Dazhuang is really strong despite his name, although he is muscular, but he has a lot of brains, he first pretended to be loyal to the Yongli Dynasty, and got a position of one hundred households, responsible for participating in guarding the south gate, but he was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, once the time was ripe, he immediately led his brothers to fight back!

They greeted the new Ming army: "Hurry, hurry, enter the city!" ”

The new Ming army is overjoyed!

Without saying a word, the leading officer rode away and led his men into the city first.

They guarded the gates, then fired fireworks and bugles, and the troops inside and outside the city were alarmed.

Soon there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the imperial court general Yuan Zongdi personally led the army to trot, forming a queue of troops, countless iron helmets flashing, cherry spears like a forest, extremely majestic.

The imperial army besieged the city, Gao Yigong was in the east, Yan Le was in the west, Liu Wenxiu guarded the north gate, and the south gate was Yuan Zongdi's defense area.

They moved quickly, entered the city gate, and according to the military order, regardless of the city walls, advanced directly from the central avenue to the depth of the city.

Almost all the cities that served as military strongholds under the Great Tomorrow had two wide main roads in the north, south, east and west leading to the four gates, so that troops could be transferred to various places unimpeded during defense.

Yuan Zong's first unit rushed along the avenue very smoothly, and there were more New Ming Army troops coming behind them, pouring into the city in a steady stream, and colliding head-on with the troops of the defending general Wu Baoshun on the street!

Both sides threw bombs at each other at the same time.

The rumbling echoed in the long street, and the brothers who rushed forward were unbearable!

Even though they were heavily armored and had enough protection, the blasted nails and steel balls were meticulous, hurting their fruit skin and shaking them unconscious by the shockwave.

Some bombs exploded at close range, and deaf ears were blown up everywhere.

What's more, bombs are flying all over the sky, throwing them at crowded places, and they are also blowing up their own brothers!

Everyone has nothing to complain about, only fight fiercely.

The city was on fire, smoke billowed into chaos, and shouts of killing and screaming came one after another.

The defenders came out of the streets and alleys, and the new Ming troops who entered the city could not take care of each other, and were cut off into multiple sections.

But they immediately formed a circle to protect themselves, the front used spears, waist knives and shields to resist the attacks of the defenders, and the latter used double-barreled trolls and pistols to attack, these melee weapons made the defenders suffer enough!

It's equivalent to a three-dimensional blow, better than a bow and arrow, a slap in the face, a slap in the face!

The bombardment caused the enemy's faces to be covered in blood, and some people were even shot in the head.

Some of the new Ming troops in the crowd held trolls, raised them high above their heads, and shot at the defenders!

The defenders shrank their heads, and immediately became a group of bowed heads, and they couldn't find the north.

The desperate defenders fought quite stubbornly, even Yuan Zongdi, who led the army to break into the city, but was divided by the enemy army, and ambushed and besieged by the front and right.

Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi was in a hurry, and led the crowd to rush forward, and the people around him saw that he did not run, and they also fought to the death, and they were killed in the center of the city, and they defended in groups, and more and more enemy troops surrounded them, and the two sides became a nest of porridge.

At the critical moment, Gao Yigong arrived at the gate of the south gate, he led his troops to guard the city gate, and then launched an attack on the city wall!

First of all, the bombs opened the way, regardless of 3721, dozens of bombs were thrown around the south gate gatehouse, and the defenders were blown up, and then the ladder outside the city was correct, and the city was attacked from the horse road, and the inside and outside of the city were attacked, and the south gate section of the city wall was quickly captured.

When he erected his large banner embroidered with the word "Gao" on the city wall, he ordered the trumpet to be blown as a sign that "the surname Gao is here!" ”

The buildings in the city will not be very high, most of them are one floor, a few are two floors, as for the three-story buildings are rare, they will not block the view, the officers and soldiers who entered the city heard the sound of the trumpet, and saw the banner of their own commander on the enemy's city wall, and their morale was greatly boosted!

The officers and soldiers in the city shouted: "Those who retreat to the city gate in front of the army will be beheaded immediately!" ”

There is also "each hold a group, fight to the death and do not retreat!" ”

And "the battle is endless, where there is gunfire, fight until there is no gunfire!" ”

Street fighting, command chaos, then fight.

The military flag on the wall of the south gate gave great courage to the officers and soldiers entering the city, and the incessant sound of military trumpets disturbed the hearts of the defenders.

This city is about to be destroyed, what should I do?!

The guard general Wu Baoshun was in a hurry, he commanded thousands of troops to counterattack the south gate, but with little success, and dispersed after fighting, and the troops following him were only two or three hundred people, and there was a feeling that it was difficult to move an inch when encountering the new Ming army.

That's right, as for him, there are more and more enemies, Gao Yigong is constantly moving troops into the city and charging me!
