Chapter 625: Surrender and Avoid Death

On the city wall, Qu Songtin looked calm, the battle had reached such a point, he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven, all the firearms were used up, fortunately, two days ago, the city no longer used artillery, that is, both sides had squeezed out the ordnance, and could only rely on hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, he still has Tongguan natural danger, otherwise it would be impossible for 4,000 men and horses to hold it.

Tu Hai outside the city also had a serious face: "Entering the city today, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver!" The first to break the city, reward a thousand taels of silver, kill! ”

The soldiers under the city quickly rushed forward according to the military formation, and the shield bearer in front of him leaned and held a tall shield, defending against the soldiers who carried siege equipment behind him, and the siege equipment was followed by the vanguard, most of these people were people who had violated military law, and they would be guilty of meritorious service in front, generally speaking, this position had the highest mortality rate and the greatest chance of meritorious service. Once they have achieved merit, they can be promoted immediately.

As far as Qu Song's eyes could see, there was a sea of people, and he silently calculated in his heart, according to this formation, there were no less than 30,000 people in Tuhai, as for the soldiers in the distance or the firehead army and the people pretending to be strong, he couldn't tell whether they were regular soldiers or not.

The archers took turns to shoot and kill, and the soldiers under the city were already numb, no one cared about the fallen people around them, just silently walked forward, I have to say that Tuhai does have a set of soldiers, as long as you ignore the injured soldiers, the military formation will not be chaotic, and it will also cause great pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

As the drums of war grew thicker and thicker, the soldiers in front began to speed up, and those soldiers carrying ladders and battering rams used their strength to feed the milk, and if they could not keep up with the shieldmen in front of them, they would be shot alive here.

The veterans of the city had long been accustomed to it, put down their bows and arrows, and began to prepare rolling wood and gold juice. The recruits also followed the example of the veterans, and followed the example of carrying the wood.

Tu Hai muttered for a long time below: "The general defending the city is a character, and I will never be able to mobilize soldiers like him." ”

"If the handsome man has a heart of love for talent, when the city is broken, he will surrender him, how dare he not want to do it then?"

"Can't you see that the war has reached this point? The one in the city is definitely willing to die rather than surrender, he is about to boil Ben Shuai to vomit blood, you look at those figures in the city, move wood without arching down, I'm afraid our archers will not be easy to aim? That's a typical recruit egg, this kind of person is starting to work hard, he wants to burn with this handsome jade. ”

The ladder had been erected on top of the city wall, and a group of soldiers had rushed up to it, and then the wall was covered with a series of wood, stones, and gold juice.

If you hit the wood and stone, as long as you don't hit the head, you basically can't die, but the gold juice is different, this is something boiled out with feces and various poisons, and it was like hot water at that time.

Of course, at this time, there is no time to think about being drenched in gold juice, so you can only look at your own life, if you have a good life, you can go to the city to get the silver, and if you have a bad life, you can't complain about others if you lose your life.

At this time, a cavalryman from the city ran in: "Dashuai, we are saved, the reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Bursts of cheers immediately sounded at the head of the city, and the reinforcements came, which meant that they could hold on for a few more days, not to mention anything else, and they would be earned by eating two more meals of meat.

Although Tuhai didn't know what was going on in the city, he understood that it was definitely not a good thing for him, so he asked the drummers to speed up the drumming, the meaning was very clear, at all costs, to capture Tongguan City!

Soon the soldiers in front also sounded bursts of cheers, Tuhai looked around, it turned out to be the gate of Tongguan, and finally couldn't help but hit continuously for several months, and was knocked open a hole, he believed that with this opening, he could open the gate of Tongguan dead, and when the time came, he would no longer have to suffer the loss of this siege.

The soldiers in the city also found out that something was wrong under the city, and immediately sent people to check, Qu Songjin heard that the city gate was cracked, and also knew that something was wrong, so he immediately sent archers and pikemen, the archers shot at the city wall, and the pikemen were in the city through the opening to the outside, in short, the people outside the city could not be allowed to expand this opening.

Tuhai shouted: "At all costs, chisel through the city gate!" ”

There is a way to repair the broken city wall, if the city gate is chiseled, it is impossible to restore it in ten days and half a month, and this time is enough for Tuhai to take Tongguan City.

Qu Songjin obviously understood this, while organizing people to block Tuhai from continuing to expand his advantage, he let people start to move the stones at the head of the city towards the top of the city gate, at the beginning he didn't expect that such a strong city gate in Tongguan City would also be chiseled, so he didn't have the idea of blocking the city gate at all, because there was something behind the city gate, and people outside the city could quickly notice it, if they found that there was something blocked behind the city gate, they would turn all their attention to climbing the city wall.

Qu Songjin's original plan was to leave them a thought and distract them, who would have thought that a drop of water would penetrate the stone, and they would really dig a hole in the city gate.

Seeing that the people in the city were carrying stones to block the city gates, the people outside the city did not dare to show weakness, and began to stick their spears into the city to prevent them from approaching the city gates.

At this time, the reinforcements had rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and when they saw this situation, they immediately stepped forward to help, and they brought the newly transported palm thunder from Sichuan, and found the opportunity to throw it out along the mouth of the city gate.

Only two loud noises were heard outside the city, and then the people inside could not hear the sound either, and these people began to organize the movement of stones to block the city gates.

These palm thunders blew up a lot of the nearby ladders, and the soldiers who were fighting fiercely on the city wall fell down sharply, and the pressure on the city head was relieved somewhat.

Tu Hai's face was pale, he hadn't seen the palm thunder today, he thought that the former Ming army had no such thing in his hands, but he didn't expect that they would block the offensive at such a critical time.

But he didn't think that the defenders in the city could still hold the city, and the whole army was very good today, and it was entirely possible to take Tongguan if they fought hard.

Qu Songjin immediately asked people to shout at the head of the city: "General Tuhai, there are 30,000 reinforcements in the city, I'm afraid that you will return in vain." This sentence was shouted out in unison, and all the soldiers in the city were stunned, if the Ming army really came with 30,000 reinforcements, this battle would have to continue to be consumed.

Tu Hai didn't dare to show weakness: "You guys shout to me!" ”

"Listen to the Ming army at the head of the city, surrender and avoid death, otherwise you will enter the city and there will be no chickens and dogs!"

The soldiers in front also shouted: "Surrender and die, surrender and die!" ”
