"It's too far! The thief still has more than 100 steps! Just fired? Muharen, the leader of the Eight Banners, shook his head in disappointment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Ming army had just emerged from behind the gap, and there were still more than a hundred steps away from the barricades of the Qing army, and the Qing army couldn't wait to shoot. The effect of the smoothbore gun firing at such a distance can be imagined, the bird guns and flintlock pistols in the hands of the Qing army fired a volley, the sound sounded terrifying, but after the smoke dissipated, almost no one in the Ming army fell.

Shooting indiscriminately at such a long distance, it is lucky to be able to hit someone, and even if it does, the bullet of the smoothbore gun will not be able to penetrate the iron armor at such a long distance.

"These penny men in the green camp are simply a bunch of waste!" A white-armored baya scolded loudly, stretched out his bow and arrow, and shot a feathered arrow.

The heavy arrow was shot accurately and fiercely, piercing through the gap in the crowd of invulnerable ironclad soldiers in front of it, and striking the face of a red-clothed musketeer of the Ming army, who fell backwards with blood spurting blood from his face.

The white-armored Bayala drew his bow and arrows again, and with another arrow shot a red-clothed musketeer of the Ming army. Just as he was about to draw his bow for the third time, several green-clad musketeers had already raised their rifled guns and aimed at the white-armored Ba Yala. Before he could fire his third arrow, the musketeer in the green-clad musketeer roared, and the white-armored Bajala was beaten into a hornet's nest.

More stragglers in green uniforms emerged from the gap, gunfire roared, and many of the Qing gunners and flintlock musketeers who were hiding behind the low wall were shot and fell.

The Ming musketeers in red uniforms also stepped up and stood fifty paces away from the Qing army and pulled the trigger. At this time, the Qing army was nervously loading ammunition, and there was no time to counterattack. As a result, a row of muskets of the Ming army rang out, and a large number of Qing soldiers who were nervously loading ammunition immediately fell.

A volley of bullets was fired, and the musketeers charged, followed by grenades.

The low wall used to block the road was never repaired by the Qing army auxiliaries, and more Ming troops had already poured into the city. The barricades in front were blasted open by the Ming army's grenades, and then the sword and shield men and ironclad soldiers rushed in, slashing and slashing many Qing soldiers.

After all, Yue Le is a famous general, and he has suffered so many losses in the Qiongzhou Army before, and he is also prepared this time. When the Ming saber and shield men and ironclad soldiers rushed in, the axe soldiers and iron hammer soldiers in ambush of the Qing army rushed out, causing certain losses to the sword players and ironclad soldiers of the Ming army.

Soon, however, the musketeers with their bayonets loaded came up, and the musketeers were the equivalent of pikemen in close combat, and the pikemen were just enough to restrain the heavy weapons of axe and hammermen.

More and more Ming troops poured into the city and launched attacks on every neighborhood.

"The battle to defend the city has just begun!" Yue Le sneered.

The city of Anqing was arranged into a huge fortress by Yue Le, with all kinds of solid buildings, temporary simple stone houses, and barricades made of sandbags, blocking the way of the Ming army. Qing musketeers hid in buildings, stone houses, and behind barricades, and opened fire on the attacking Ming troops; The archers of the Qing army climbed onto the rooftops and shot arrows from a high position.

The Ming offensive suffered a setback, and no small casualties began to occur. However, the losses of the Qing army were even greater, and the Ming army, equipped with grenades, rushed to the front after withstanding the casualties, threw grenades into the buildings, stone houses and barricades, and blew up the flesh and blood of the Qing army.

The Qing army did not have grenades, but Yue Le asked the people defending the city to temporarily make a lot of gunpowder canisters, and the Qing army climbed on the roof to throw, which could make up for the shortcomings of the gunpowder canisters that were not far away, and also blew up many Ming troops.

"Yue Le, this dog thief, it seems that there is still a set! I underestimated him before! Wang Yuyou said.

Zeng Yangxing said: "If it weren't for the fame of Ao Bai to cover Yue Le, Yue Le would actually be a famous general of the Tartars!" Fortunately, our counter-plot worked, otherwise let Yue Le escape back, and the future battle would really be fought! ”

"I didn't expect to blow up the Anqing city wall and attack the city, but I faced an even more tragic bloody battle!" Wang Yuyou sighed.

Wang [Fu] Chen proposed: "Strategist, we can attack with fire!" Aren't there a lot of fierce fire oil tanks? Use the auxiliaries to push the shield cart to protect the fierce fire tank forward, and then set fire to the Tartars! The Tartars piled up a lot of stakes outside, and we had them cut down, push them up with a shield cart, and burn them with fierce fire oil! We are attacking from the south to the north, and if we set fire from the south to the north, we will definitely burn the Tartars out of the city! ”

Although Yue Le demolished the all-wood and half-wood houses, even if the brick and stone structure of the house, the beams, doors and windows were still wood, and there were all kinds of wood furniture in the house, which could still be burned as long as it was ignited with fierce fire oil.

"Fire attack?" Wang Yuyou shook his head, "Once the fire attacks, how many innocent people in the city will die?" ”

"Strategist, how do we attack?" Wang Zihao asked.

Wang Yuyou thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure: "Let the mountain soldiers carry light mortar cannons and follow behind to open artillery bombardment; The skirmishers climb onto the rooftops and shoot the Tartars from a distance! Others attack from the front! The auxiliaries also came in, the shield cart was pushed up, and the musketeers hid behind the shield cart, approached the volley of guns, and threw grenades! Also, the three-pounder cannon was also pulled into the city and followed the infantry! ”

The Ming army launched a fierce attack in the streets and alleys of the city, and under the cover of twelve-pounder mortars, the musketeers made a breakthrough from the front. The skirmishers, protected by hand-to-hand combatants, then climbed onto the roof.

Skirmishers continued to climb onto the rooftops and shoot with rifled guns condescendingly, killing many Qing archers who climbed onto the roofs to shoot arrows. The skirmishers turned their guns again and fired at the barricades and stone houses below, suppressing the Qing army's firepower. The melee fighters who followed the skirmishers carried stairs to facilitate the skirmishers to travel back and forth between rooftops.

The three-pounder guns of the Ming army were pulled into the city, and when they encountered some firepower points that were very stubbornly resisting, they set up their cannons and opened fire outside the range of the Qing army.

Yue Le hid another trick: he widened some of the large courtyards in the city, hid the cavalry in the courtyards, and left a passage for the cavalry to attack. When the Ming musketeers were attacking head-on, the Qing army suddenly toppled down the wall, and the cavalry came out of the pre-set cavalry assault line and launched an attack on the Ming army's flank.

was attacked by the Qing cavalry, and the Ming army suffered many casualties.

The cavalry of the Qing army rushed to kill for a while, but encountered a Ming army that was not afraid of death. The Ming infantry fought to the death, and before the Qing army rushed over, they threw their grenades. After the Qing cavalry rushed into their formation, these infantry still insisted, and many of them were about to be knocked away by the cavalry, and before they were about to be beheaded by the cavalry, they decisively pulled the grenades on their bodies and died together with the Qing cavalry that rushed over.

"Crazy Scouts! I've run into the Mad Army! "Iribu, the leader of the Eight Banners, was extremely surprised.

The Ming infantry encountered by the Eight Banners cavalry were actually mountain soldiers.
