On the city tower, Wang Yan was covered in blood, and several Zhao soldiers were protecting him to block the swords attacked by the Qing army for him.

On the city, the Zhao army was constantly hacked to death with random knives, and the Qing soldiers were constantly picked off the city wall by spears, and the same tragic battles were staged in every section of the city wall.

At this time, Wang Yan had already given up his sword and picked up a long knife that was convenient for chopping, he was a scholar, but there were no less than three Qing soldiers who died under his knife, and he was also wounded everywhere.

The Zhao army in the city can not be said to be lifeless, but the Qing soldiers are more ferocious, after all, the Zhao army has too many new soldiers, although they resist desperately, but they can't change the fact that there are more and more Qing soldiers on the city tower.

The Zhao army was defeated and retreated one after another after being killed in the city, and Zhao Yingyuan and his guards alone could not turn the tide of the battle at all.

Wang Yan looked at the falling Zhao army, and his heart was extremely intertwined, but he had no choice but to carry a long knife to accompany his brothers to fight together, hoping to drive the Qing army off the city wall through their death battle.

Liu Shun has been protecting him, and he wanted to pull him down to the city, but at this time, he had to keep up with him and guard Wang Yan tightly.

Stimulated by blood, Wang Yan behaved very bravely, regardless of the injuries on his body, he slashed over the Qing soldiers in front of him with a knife, and saw a Zhao Junniao commander in the distance being forced by the Qing soldiers to be embarrassed.

He wanted to light the fire but was interrupted by a knife from the Qing soldiers, and finally had to hold the command rod to resist in a hurry, Wang Yan wanted to save him, but before he could get close, the bird commander had been cut down by the Qing soldiers to the ground.

Looking at him who fell to the ground and the bird who fell to the side, Wang Yan was suddenly stunned, and he didn't even find the long knife that was coming on, but fortunately, Liu Shun had been paying attention to his situation, and forced back the attacking Qing soldiers with a knife, and then shook Wang Yan's body and said: "Childe!" It's too dangerous! Come down town with me! ”

Wang Yan came back to his senses, saw Liu Shun dragging him back, suddenly broke free from his kindness, and said to him excitedly: "Quick! Help me gather the birds! ”

Hearing this, Liu Shun didn't understand that at such a moment of crisis, what was the use of Wang Yan to recruit the bird commander with poor melee ability, and he couldn't help but leak his face full of doubts.

Under the city, Hetuo and others watched the battle in the city.

The Qing soldiers attacked the city for nearly an hour, and the casualties of the green battalion had reached more than 1,500 people, so that he couldn't help but feel a pain in the flesh when he had always regarded the life and death of the Han people, but fortunately, there were too many new soldiers in the defenders, and with the Qing army landing in the city, the casualties of the Qing soldiers were much less.

Looking at the Qing soldiers who were constantly climbing the upper city, they had begun to control sections of the city wall, and he knew that the collapse of the defenders was imminent, and it would not be long before he could conquer Qingzhou.

With one charge, he can take Qingzhou, which is guarded by more than 6,000 people, and his and Tuo's achievements will add to the grand sum!

Zhao Yingyuan is not Erer, Qingzhou is just something in his bag, and a trace of arrogance suddenly appeared in Hetuo's heart.

In the city, Zhao Yingyuan kept swinging his knife and slashing the Qing soldiers in front of him, but the Qing army in the city did not decrease, but he and his guards were forced to retreat, which made him feel desperate, and even had a trace of wanting to abandon the city and flee in his heart.

Even the main generals have lost hope of victory, not to mention ordinary soldiers, the entire Qingzhou garrison is supported by a breath of blood, and at this time, as long as there is a problem at any point, the defenders will completely collapse.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

At this critical moment, rows of birds suddenly sounded in the city.

The bird commanders were not good at close combat, and with the Qing army ascending the city, their chances of playing their role were slim, and they were saved by retreating behind the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen.

Wang Yan led Liu Shun and several guards to rush and kill in the city, and soon gathered more than 30 commanders, and the picture in his mind also made his thinking continue to improve.

Three-stage shooting, as early as the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying used this to pacify Yunnan, and the picture that appeared in Wang Yan's mind was basically consistent with this, but he didn't know how to operate, so he could only simply divide the commanders gathered around him into three teams, while bombarding the Qing army, while groping for tactics.

Compared with the bow and arrow, the bird system is very powerful, and it is common on the battlefield for a person to have several feather arrows inserted in his body, but he still fights with people with a knife and a gun, but if he is in the middle and the top, he is basically finished.

The disadvantage of the bird system is that it has to reload the ammunition every time it is released, which takes time and cannot form continuous fire to suppress the enemy, but the three-stage attack method solves this problem.

In fact, it is not difficult to operate, the key is the idea, and the commander around Wang Yan only listened to him explain a little, and he understood it.

The city wall was narrow, and it was impossible to dodge at all, and the commanders instantly knocked down seven or eight Qing soldiers with a volley, which made the fighting Zhao army and Qing soldiers slightly stunned.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

A continuous unifying sound sounded, and a group of Qing soldiers occupying a section of the city wall were immediately driven out of the city, and Wang Yan hurriedly commanded the gathered Zhao army to resume defense and prevent the Qing soldiers from landing in the city again.

The bird's unification made the momentum of the Zhao army boost, and the precarious city defense slowly stabilized.

Under the escort of sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, the bird commander continued to advance on the city, although from time to time there were bird commanders who blew up their chests, causing casualties among the commanders, but immediately there were newly gathered commanders to make up for it, and most of the Qing troops who landed in the city were actually cleaned up.

Like the Zhao army, the Qing army also fought fiercely for an hour, and could always press the Zhao army to fight, at that time, because they climbed the city wall, there was a hope of defeating the Zhao army, but now the bird commander has made them who originally had the advantage slowly fall into the disadvantage, and under the advantages of one or the other, the morale suddenly plummeted.

The Green Battalion is different from the real Manchuria, they are good at fighting a good battle, but they do not have the belief of fighting to the death, if it is profitable, they are naturally brave and abnormal, if they encounter a hard battle, they are mostly unable to work, and save their lives first.

Looking at the companions who kept falling, the corpses that were bombarded by the birds, many Qing soldiers couldn't help but shudder, Zhao Yingyuan was keenly aware of this change, and suddenly his spirit perked up, leading Zhao Jun to shout while taking advantage of the momentum to press over.

Under the city, Hetuo saw that the Qing army in the city was decreasing, and his arrogant face couldn't help but feel cold, Wang Guodong on the side was afraid when he saw this, he originally thought that his subordinates could easily capture Qingzhou for him to have a long face, but now he had to consider how to bear Hetuo's anger if the siege failed, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly for a while.

"Wow~"

There was a commotion, and the Qing soldiers besieging the city suddenly retreated like a tide, and their morale was exhausted, and this first round of onslaught was unexpectedly defeated.

On the city wall, the Zhao army repelled the Qing soldiers, and suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers, the soldiers disregarded their fatigue, danced with knives and guns in their hands, and frantically vented the fear and joy in their hearts, perhaps even they themselves did not expect that they were about to collapse, since the Qing soldiers were driven off the city wall.

After this bloody battle, the Zhao army at this time was no longer the original Zhao army, through the baptism of blood, they transformed into a dare to fight, and Wang Yan also left a deep impression and prestige in their hearts with this victory.

Under the city, several Qing soldiers knelt in front of Hetuo, one by one, they were dejected, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

"General, give them another chance, I promise that we will be able to capture the city this time!" Wang Guodong on the side saw that Hetuo had a gloomy face, afraid that he would vent his anger with his subordinates, so he hurriedly said.

He Tuo knew that the Qing army was not well prepared, and the artillery siege equipment had not arrived, so he wanted to rely on the power of the Qing army to level Qingzhou in one fell swoop, but he was defeated.

At this time, he glanced at Wang Guodong, but he didn't speak, he had followed Dolgon for many years, and he knew that the matter of the battle array, even the Han soldiers' books were also involved, so he naturally knew that if he continued to fight today, there would be no good results, but it would damage the morale of the army.

After the battle just now, the green battalion soldiers were already useless, and Hetuo was reluctant to give up the lives of the real Manchurian warriors, so it was naturally impossible to fight again, so he had to have a gloomy face at the moment, and coldly said the word "return to the camp", then turned the horse's head and went to the camp.

Soon the Qing army outside the city withdrew to the camp, and the originally noisy battlefield suddenly became silent, leaving only blood and corpses all over the ground to tell what had just happened.

The cold wind blew, and the defenders of the city recovered from the joy of victory, and the tired bodies of the old soldiers suddenly collapsed, and they lay or leaned against each other with the corpses.

Looking at the blood all over the ground, the severed limbs, the gloomy white bones under the upturned flesh, and the internal organs that flowed out, the new pawns turned pale after the tension and passion, and a feeling of nausea filled their brains, and the churning stomachs, filthy things, emerged in mouthfuls.

It's night, in the Qingzhou Mansion.

The battlefield during the day had been cleared, and Wang Yan, Zhao Yingyuan and others sat in the hall and listened to the reports of their subordinates.

In this battle, the Qing soldiers suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Zhao army, as the defender, also killed more than 2,000 people, which made Zhao Yingyuan, who was originally repelled by the Qing army and quite excited, change his face.

Such a result, he doesn't know if it can be regarded as a victory, only a battle, the defenders have plummeted by three percent, and compared with the casualties, the wear and tear of equipment is also shocking, there are less than 50,000 feather arrows, more than 20 birds are blown up, and gunpowder is also extremely scarce.

Outside the city, in the tent of the Qing army commander, today's battle was also summarized.

Through a bloody battle, the Zhao army has obtained nearly 4,000 warriors who have gone through the battle array, and if they want to defeat Qingzhou, the casualties paid are immeasurable.

There are few real Manchurian soldiers, and it is a great loss to die a single one, and the green battalion soldiers have lost their morale, and Hetuo is no longer in a hurry to break the city, but everyone quickly reached a consensus that they will not storm the city again before the artillery and other equipment arrive.

At this time, after the discussion, He Tuo asked the Qing generals to retreat, but left Li Shiyuan behind.

Li Shiyuan is a smart person, just a little thought, he already knows Hetuo's intentions, today the army is frustrated, presumably he saw that the attack is not good, so he moved the mind of surrender.

It's just that Li Shiyuan didn't understand, didn't He Tuo say that Dolgon didn't want Zhao Yingyuan to live? Does he dare to go against Dorgon's will, or??
