Xu Heihu clenched his fists, turned around and went to mobilize the horse army, and the three thousand cavalry gathered at the south gate of this Xiangcheng, and soon crowded the urn city and the streets of the city.

At this time, the battle of the two forts outside the city has entered a white-hot stage, the Qing soldiers and soldiers are constantly going up, the deep trench has been full of corpses, blood floods the bottom of the deep trench, can reach the instep of people, and the air is filled with the smell of blood.

At this time, the Wei army on the first fort wall had retreated, and there were more and more soldiers on the fort wall, and they were crowded on it, but they did not find out how to go up the second fort wall.

The distance between the two walls was twenty paces, and there was still a deep trench full of spikes between the two walls, and the ladder of the Qing army was not so long that it was impossible to directly build the second wall.

In this way, the soldiers who climbed the city wall first could not find a way to attack the second wall, and the soldiers behind did not know the situation and continued to crowd the fortress wall.

Sun Maosheng also went to the fortress under the drive of the banner, a sense of danger became stronger and stronger, under the fort wall was a deep trench, they could not go down, the first wall and the second were like the cliffs on both sides of the Three Gorges, they could not jump over.

At this time, he looked up and saw that the second wall was much higher than the first wall, and the Wei army above it was condescending, and all the Qing troops in the upper fort were exposed to their firing boundary.

Who is so detached in conscience? Such a terrifying fortress was built!

Sun Maosheng thought about it, so he unconsciously took two steps back and hid behind a big man with a sword and shield.

Suddenly, from the second fort wall, flew down several pitch-black objects, crowded the first fort wall of the Qing army, suddenly issued a series of explosions, the fort wall firelight flashed, smoke and dust, countless porcelain pieces, iron pieces swept across the fort wall, almost all the Qing troops who landed in the city were overturned by the air waves, the soldiers were blown down the fort wall, fell into the deep trench, were pierced by spikes, blood foamed in the mouth, the Qing army on the fort wall fell a piece, and the screams rose to the sky.

Almost all the Qing troops who climbed the fortress wall were affected, and Sun Maosheng was overturned to the ground, his ears ringing, making him feel unprecedented fear.

At this time, on the second wall, Zhao Mingchong drew his knife and pointed angrily, "Shoot!" “

The Wei army's guns, stood up, the second wall raised a row of fire guns, and then fired in unison, the sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, just after the explosion, the Qing army that stood up, before coming to their senses, was knocked down again.

The sound of the fire gun in rounds, the Qing army on the fortress wall was shot, screaming miserably, the explosives thrown by the Wei army exploded one after another, and the dense Qing army was blown up to the flesh and blood, but the follow-up Qing army continued to pour onto the fortress wall under the drive of the bannermen.

Sun Maosheng picked up a shield and squatted on the ground, the big man in front of him was blown up by the earth-shattering thunder, and he ate three guns in a row, and his intestines flowed to the ground, and he couldn't die anymore.

Below the hill on the left flank, Shang Kexi began to feel a little anxious.

Originally, I thought that rushing to the fort wall would not be far from taking the fortress, but I didn't expect that the Qing army in the fort not only failed to maintain its sharpness, but had a tendency to be driven down again.

At this time, the infantry army around him was basically pressed, and there were more than 7,000 horse troops left unmoved, but this was to prevent the Wei army on the south bank of Rushui from crossing the river for reinforcements, and preparing to attack the soldiers and horses of the Wei army crossing the river, and could not be put into siege warfare.

"Lord Wang! Not good! Li Guohan looked at the battlefield and saw the south gate of Xiangcheng wide open, and a team of horse troops rushed out, and was immediately shocked, "There is a horse army in Xiangcheng to kill!" ”

Shang Kexi looked on the side, the battle went on for most of the day, the Qing army infantry was attacking the fort, the formation had already been chaotic, if it was rushed by the horse army, the morale was greatly discharged, and the Qing army that attacked the fortress was driven down again, then the whole morning, the Qing army was fought in vain, and the sacrifice paid would have to start again.

"Blue flag, attack!" Shang Kexi gritted his teeth and shouted.

The horn of the Qing army was raised, and Li Guohan immediately pulled out the reins of his horse and shouted loudly: "Charge me!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Guohan raised his sword and urged the war horse, and more than 3,000 horse troops with blue flags raised their speed and attacked head-on.

"Lord Wang, the Wei army on the south bank is going to cross the river for reinforcements!" As soon as the Qing army and Ma Jun raised the speed, a Qing general exclaimed again.

Between the two forts on the left and right, the Wei army built a pontoon bridge to connect with the south bank.

The pontoon bridge was within the fire control range of the two forts, and it was impossible for the Qing army to drop troops between the two forts, which would be strangled by firepower from many sides, so the Wei army controlled the area between the two forts and the pontoon bridge.

Now the Wei army on the south bank of Rushui, seeing the south gate of Xiangcheng open, selected the tiger horse army to rush out, Wu Shizhao according to the agreement, sent 10,000 Wei troops, across the river to reinforce.

Seeing the Wei army passing through the pontoon bridge, this made Shang Kexi a little uneasy, and he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and hurriedly ordered, "Go and report the news, let the county king send another 10,000 horses to reinforce it!" ”

After finishing speaking, he issued another order, so that Shang Kewei led 3,000 horse troops, sticking to the south bank of the Ru River, and Li Guohan's horse army to protect the two wings of the Qing army attacking the fort.

At the south gate of Xiangcheng, as soon as the city gate opened, the Tiger and Horse Army, who had long been unable to hold back, finally waited for an opportunity.

Xu Heihu hit the horse's buttocks with the pole of the long-handled plate axe, and the war horse was in pain, and with a long neigh, it was killed like lightning.

Xu Heihu held his axe high and shouted, "Children, kill!" ”

The three thousand horse troops behind him flocked to him, let out an angry cry, followed closely behind him, and directly crashed into the Qing army's archers and gunners under the fortress wall.

The Qing archers and gunners had no heavy armor and no long guards, and the Qing melee arms were besieging the city, leaving them without protection.

Because the two forts were within the artillery coverage of Xiangcheng, and Shang Kexi was outside the range of the Wei artillery, the Tiger and Horse Army had to arrive at the battlefield before the blue flag.

At this time, the Qing soldiers continued to climb the fort wall, and the Qing troops who stayed under the fort wall saw the Xuan Tiger and Horse Army appearing on the side like a mountain of mountains, and the archers of the Qing army immediately panicked, and they didn't care about hanging the Wei army on the fort wall, so they turned around one after another and aimed their bows and arrows at the Wei army and the horse army.

However, without antlers to resist horses, without pikemen to escort, and without a dense formation, the Qing archers could not resist the impact of the Wei army's horse army, and the Wei army inevitably crashed into the Qing army.

In an instant, the Tiger Horse Army was like a sharp knife, easily shattering the Qing army, and the Wei Army and the horse army, which rushed quickly, broke into the Qing formation with the momentum of ten thousand troops, and the war horses galloped, constantly knocking the Qing army in front of them.

Xu Heihu's big axe smashed indiscriminately, the cavalry spears behind him stabbed, and the war knives slashed left and right, invincible.

Where the Ma army passed, corpses were left behind, and the Qing army's offensive to attack the fortress suddenly stalled.

"Good!" On the second fort wall, Zhao Mingchong couldn't help but applaud the results of the Ma army.

The Qing army on the first wall of the fort had found several passages to the lower wall, entered the area between the two walls, and found the fort gate of the second wall, but they were now suppressed by the fire of the Wei army and did not make progress.

At this time, if the Qing army that had entered the fort suddenly stopped attacking the fort, the Wei army might drive out the Qing army on the fort wall.

In this way, at least today the fortress is held.

If the Qing army wanted to organize another attack, it would have to kill thousands more.

"Shoot, knock the Tartars down!" Zhao Mingchong shouted loudly.

The Wei army's gunners stood up, and "bang, bang, bang" was another row of guns, and the Qing army fell to the ground one after another.

At this time, the selection of the tiger horse army slaughtered the Qing army archers, Li Guohan finally led the four thousand horse army to the battlefield, but the Wei army was among the Qing army archers, but the Qing army cavalry could not hit their own archer array, so they could only circle outside the formation, waiting for the candidate tiger horse army to come out.

Shang Kexi watched the Qing army's infantry formation being smashed to pieces, and a pair of eyes stared at the rampaging Xuanhu Horse Army, waiting for them to come out of the battle, gritting his teeth in his mouth, "Li Guohan, fight for this king!" ”

Xu Heihu galloped on his side and killed the Qing army until he led the Wei army and the horse army to rush out.

Seeing this, Li Guohan suddenly roared: "Rush! ”

The three thousand Qing army horses opened their bows and arrows and pounced on the Wei army that came out of the formation.
