Seeing the gaps that had exploded in many places, Ao Bai shouted to Goshha: "Pass the order to go down and let the artillery team go up!" When you see a thief coming out of the gap, you bombard the gap! Green battalion hand-to-hand combat, prepare to gag! The auxiliaries are strong, go and carry bricks and stones! Take advantage of the hand-to-hand fight between the two sides, plug the mouth! ”

If it weren't for the internal contradictions of the Qing army, Kangxi and Bumu Butai were very jealous of Aobai, Tuhai pinched the Eight Banners New Army, which had the most elite weapons, and the banner people did not trust the green battalion, if it were not for these factors, it would not be easy to defeat Aobai.

The disadvantage of the Qing army's weapons, morale was lost is only one of the reasons for the defeat, the most important thing is that the Eight Banners New Army, which has mastered elite weapons, is simply a pit, Tuhai and others have been trying to seize the command of the Huguang New Army, coupled with the defeat of the naval division, as well as the tactical use of firearms of the Ming army, which led the Qing army to the current point.

However, this series of arrangements of Ao Bai was recognized by Wang Yuyou.

"The Tartars want to bombard the breach with artillery while we rush into the breach! They may even stop us with gunpowder and canisters of fire oil at the breach, so that we will lose a lot! When our ironclad soldiers get close to the breach, don't rush in, put the light mortar cannon on the top, and bombard it for a while. At the same time, set up simple ladders on both sides of the breakthrough, and the ants attached to the siege of the city, both pronged! You can break the plan! Wang Yuyou made a suggestion.

Watching the Ming army's most elite ironclad soldiers advance steadily, Aobai's Goshha waited nervously, just waiting for the Ming army to rush into the breakthrough, first bombarded with artillery, and then let the elite hand-to-hand soldiers rush forward with heavy weapons such as hammers and axes.

Who knew that the Ming army's ironclad soldiers were still about fifty steps away from the breakthrough, so they stopped.

A platoon of Ming gunners following behind the ironclad men crouched, put the planks on the ground, set up the twelve-pounder light mortar, and began to reload the gunpowder.

The Qing soldiers standing on the city walls on both sides cut off a hundred and fifty paces away, and someone in the rear of the Ming army was fiddling with mortars, and a Qing army general always exclaimed: "Not good!" The thief's cupola! ”

Only then did Goshha, who was worshipping, come to his senses, and hurriedly ordered the gunners arranged in the back row of houses to retreat. But it was too late, and the light mortar was very fast to reload if it was only loaded with solid shells. Before Goshha could finish speaking, he heard a volley of cannonballs, rows of solid shells flying into the air and smashing into the houses behind the city walls. The twelve-pounder shells fell to the ground, smashing a large number of houses, and the Qing gunners and artillery who had not had time to withdraw were buried in the rubble.

Another new siege method of the Ming army was brought out: more than a dozen nest carts higher than the city walls were pushed out, and each nest cart was topped with a sub-mother cannon and six stragglers.

The nest car advanced to a hundred paces away, and the sub-mother cannon was condescending, and shells were fired out again and again. The rifled guns in the hands of the skirmishers continued to emit white smoke, killing and wounding the Qing troops in the gap.

The Qing soldiers could only temporarily retreat under the city walls to avoid the falling shells. After a while, the Ming army's ironclad soldiers began to slowly advance again. Seeing this, the Qing army Goshha immediately shouted: "The thieves are coming up!" Hand-to-hand combat! ”

The hammer soldiers and axe soldiers of the Qing army, who specialized in restraining the ironclad soldiers, gathered together and rushed up to the gap.

The ironclad soldiers of the Ming army had already stopped, threw a row of grenades, and landed behind the gap, blowing up a large area of the Qing army's hand-to-hand combatants.

Goshha shouted and urged the Qing army to not retreat: "Don't retreat!" Above! Above! Defeat the thieves' most elite ironclad soldiers, and the outside will win! ”

Although the hand-to-hand combatants were bombed by grenades and suffered heavy losses, as long as they were able to get close to the ironclad soldiers and slam them with heavy weapons such as axes and hammers, they could break the Ming army's ironclad formation. Even if it is four or five hand-to-hand soldiers for one ironclad soldier, it is a very cost-effective thing.

Who knew that the ironclad soldiers did not move, but from behind the ironclad soldiers, a row of pikemen in light armor and spears in hand rushed into the gap with a shout.

Hammermen and axes are undoubtedly the best classes to use against ironclads. However, these heavily armed soldiers, once they encounter nimble pikemen, it is difficult to wield hammers and axes, and they are not as long as spearmen, and unlike knife players, they have shields to block spears, and then go to the formation of pikemen. So, when the hammermen and the axe men meet the pikemen, it is a tragedy.

Goshha was dumbfounded when he saw the Ming army's pikemen rushing out: it's over! I've used the wrong class! It's a pity that the knife players didn't keep up, only the hammer soldiers and axe soldiers, how to fight the pikemen? Damn Han dog, how can this be? After saying that the ironclad soldiers came up, how did they become pikemen?

In the blink of an eye, the pikemen rushed into the gap, and the spears in their hands danced, stabbed, and picked, and the axe and hammer men who came up on the face could not hit the pikemen because of the short weapons, and the hammer and axe were heavy, and it was difficult to parry, and they were stabbed and picked by the pikemen, and the axe soldiers and hammer soldiers fell down one by one like weeds cut down by a sickle.

The hammer soldiers and axe soldiers of the Qing army, who were not dead, threw down their weapons one after another, turned around and ran.

The bird-gunners behind did not follow up in time, and when they saw the hand-to-hand soldiers who had retreated, the Qing army's bird-gunners shot indiscriminately, knocking over many people, of course, most of the downed were Qing soldiers. At this moment, the mortar artillery in the rear of the Ming army dropped another row of shells, smashing over many Qing army birds.

The pikemen of the Ming army rushed into the gap, and did not rush forward, but controlled the gap and waited for the follow-up troops such as ironclad soldiers and musketeers to come up.

Almost at the same time as the nest car advanced up, the Ming army also launched an attack on the city wall. Groups of hand-to-hand soldiers of the Ming army carried improvised ladders and rushed under the city walls. Under the cover of the musketeers behind, improvised ladders were erected, and the hand-to-hand soldiers of the Ming army armed with swords and shields climbed up to the top of the city.

The resistance of the Qing army at the head of the city is still very tenacious, the bows and arrows and birds continue to fight down, stones, lime bottles, and fire oil cans are smashed down like hailstones, and there are constantly simple ladders broken and falling, and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Ming army who are climbing have fallen down, and the smashed oil cans under the city have ignited a sky-high fire, and the gold juice poured down on the body, and many people have fallen with heart-rending screams. The Ming saber and shield bearers climbed up to the top of the city, and just cut down a few Qing soldiers, and were surrounded by more Qing soldiers, who were either hacked to death at the head of the city or driven down.

Most of these Ming soldiers who died in battle were soldiers who had just transformed from captured auxiliaries.

With the advancement of the Ming army's large ladder trucks, the battle situation at the head of the city changed. More than a dozen large ladder trucks topped the city wall, and elite soldiers jumped into the city from the ladder trucks to engage in fierce battles with the Qing army. Some of the ladder cars had already ignited the flames, and the Ming soldiers under the ladder cars kept rushing up, climbing to the top of the city as much as possible before the ladder cars were burned.
