The wind and snow were raging, the heavens and the earth were vast, and the horns of the enemies outside the city whined like the low roar of a wild beast, echoing in the wind and snow, and the dull sound made people feel extremely depressed and their hearts were sullen.

Qin Mu stood in the city tower at the south gate, holding a telescope to watch the offensive deployment of the Qing army, but the snowflakes flying diagonally made his vision very blurred, and he could only see the black press, and it was not clear which city gate would be the direction of the Qing army's initiative.

Qin Mu said to Han Gang easily, but in fact, it was just to relieve the pressure on his soldiers, this was his usual method, the coach seemed to be confident, and his soldiers would not panic.

Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically, Qin Mu is actually very cautious.

Remember what Napoleon said: never think that your enemies are stupid.

The Qing army was not only not stupid, but also fierce and good at fighting. Although Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng are in a hostile position, it is undeniable that they are definitely first-class strategists.

The history of the Manchu Qing dynasty is laid out with corpses all the way. Whoever despises him will become a stepping stone for them to pick up their military exploits.

This cold winter moon hunting was quite unfavorable to the Qin army, the iron clothes were cold, and many soldiers had frostbite on their hands, their hands and feet were numb, and their reactions became sluggish.

On the other hand, the Qing army was accustomed to living in a bitter cold place of zero thirty or forty degrees, and was afraid of the summer in the south. But the winter here doesn't make much of a difference to them.

Out of prudence, Qin Mu handed over the command of the city defense battle to Han Gang, and let Shi Qing be responsible for organizing the 40,000 people in the city to strengthen patrols, and if necessary, go to the city at any time to participate in the defense. Niu Wanchuan's cavalry waited for him. Always ready to strike.

In this way, the original Chuzhou guard Red Lady quit, in the whining horn outside the city, she was wearing armor, covered with a red cloak, galloped to the south gate, like a flame rushed to the city gate.

She was just about to open her mouth to theorize, but Qin Mu preemptively said, "What are you doing here?" ”

The red lady was extremely angry, and her eyebrows immediately stood up: "If you are unreasonable, I am the Chuzhou guard." ”

"Didn't you mean to avoid me? How can I assign you a task if you are avoiding me. ”

"You!" The red lady was angry and aggrieved. There were tears in his eyes. But she stubbornly raised her head and said with a strained face, "I know that you also look down on me." When I was"

"When you are what? I treat you as my woman. Do you know the way? Qin Mu stepped forward. Holding her hand and saying in a harmonious voice, "Ying'er, it's okay." The enemy is about to attack, don't make any more trouble, follow me, don't be afraid that there will be no fight, and where there is danger, we will support you. ”

"This is different, Chuzhou was originally mine, but now you want me to follow you, I have to listen to you for everything, can this be the same?"

Qin Mu understood that she was trying to prove that she was not a vase or an ornament.

"Okay, Ying'er, since you don't want to follow me, I just give you back your freedom. However, the enemy is about to come up, and it is too late to change generals at this time. You can follow me for the time being, and when the enemy has repelled this attack, I will hand over the south gate to you, is that okay?" ”

"You don't joke."

"You don't joke."

The enemy's camp is stationed in the south of the city, and the south gate must be the direction of the enemy's main attack.

Qin Mu raised the lookout mirror again and looked out of the city, in order to avoid being shelled by the city, the camp of the Qing army was ten miles away from the city, the sky was covered with snowflakes, and the shadow of the Qing army's camp could not be seen in the telescope at all, only the sound of a low horn was heard, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping back and forth.

Judging from the sound of horses' hooves, the Qing army should have launched an attack from four directions: east, south, west, and north.

Han Gang is already stepping up deployment. According to Qin Mu's request, the Qing army should have a chance to attack the city, so that Chu looked crumbling.

This requires hiding strength and ensuring that the city's defenses don't really collapse.

This is a technical work, because it is always pressed and beaten by the enemy, and morale will inevitably be damaged. It is necessary for the general to assess the situation, make timely adjustments, and be able to re-boost morale when necessary.

The red lady who had nothing to do stood beside Qin Mu and began to feel a little uncomfortable again. She and Qin Mu have the fact that they are husband and wife, although Qin Mu has not had time to canonize her, but after all, she is already his woman, and she spoke to him in that tone just now

The red lady glanced at him quietly, Qin Mu stood in front of the battlement, dressed in Xuanjia, his body was like iron, and the vast wind and snow outside the battlement made his silhouette look even harder.

In fact, the red lady knew in her heart that Qin Mu had been letting her all along, and she had never blushed against her, and if she changed to someone else, she was afraid that she would never be able to be so willful.

She walked to the wall, took Qin Mu's dark cloud leopard and draped it on him, and then stood beside him with her head down, silent.

"Ying'er, don't think too much, it's time to go to war."

"Hmm." The red lady responded, thought for a while and added: "Each city gate of the Tartars has sent soldiers and horses to attack, judging by this, this time it should still be necessary to test the defense of each city gate." In my opinion, we shouldn't show weakness at every city gate, so that it is easy for the Tartars to realize that we are deliberately hiding our strength, and it is not conducive to our army to preserve morale, so among the six city gates, there should always be one or two city gates to fight hard, so that it is difficult for the Tartars to cross the thunder pool, so that the Tartars can believe that we really tried our best. ”

"Not bad, not bad, false and real" Qin Mu immediately shouted at Li Shi outside the city gate tower, "Li Shi, immediately pass on the king's order, let the south gate and the east gate fight hard, don't hide your strength anymore, go quickly." ”

"Whoa!"

This time, Duoduo did not distinguish between priority and priority, and invested 1,000 men and horses in the six city gates, which were commanded by Gong Adai, Tong Tulai, Zuo Mengeng, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, and Zu Dale.

In the sloppy wind and snow, the Qing army is like a wolf pack in the snow, roaring and rushing, the dull sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, horns and horns, destroying people's hearts, howling in the cold wind, if the gloom is condensing, the ghosts and gods are crying.

The Qin army at the head of the city stood in the wind and snow, the cold wind was like a knife, the snowflakes were blowing on their faces, and they clenched their cold swords and guns one by one, and looked out of the city with bated breath. Officers of all ranks began to shout for the soldiers to enter the battlements, and arquebuses loaded with ammunition pointed at the stone bridge over the moat.

The archers in the back are ready to shoot their arrows, and when they are given an order, the arrows leave the strings.

The battle was about to break out, and in the vast wind and snow, I suddenly saw a piece of golden armor reflecting the cold light, and under the guidance of a yellow flag, it rushed towards the south gate like a tide.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The war drums at the head of the city rumbled and shook the earth, making people's scalps tingle.

The Qing army carried the ladder and ran wildly with iron shields, and the two Franco cannons at the south gate roared first in the sound of war drums, two tongues of fire erupted, and two barrages broke through the wind and snow and shot away.

"Hurry, if you want to live, hurry up, rush!" Niu Lu Zhang Jing Male kept roaring, and the marbles from the artillery squirted with a sharp whistling sound hit their iron shields, bang! Some of the iron shields were smashed into several pieces;

The soldiers under the shield were hit by the undiminished marbles and their heads cracked, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. Some of the shields were not well covered, and the soldiers under the shields were directly hit in the chest, opening a fist-sized blood hole, and the white bones were cracked, and the blood was gushing like a spring.

"Quick, get on the bridge!" Laugher's eyes were split, and he roared like a wild beast, and led the way up to the bridge over the moat. The Qing army, which was originally loosely formed, was like encountering the torrent of a canyon, suddenly tightened up, and rushed onto the stone bridge.

In the process of running wildly, the Qing soldiers continued to bow and spread the full moon, and one by one the cold arrows rose into the air, forming a large rain of arrows, heading towards the city hood, and they released the arrows very fast, wave after wave, like pieces of dark clouds flying.

The Qin army at the head of the city was a little careless, that is, the arrow entered the face, the sharp arrow pierced the bones, and a puff of blood stained the head of the city red.

The fierce fighting overshadowed the wind and snow, and the air heated up rapidly.

The arquebuses at the battlements released a full of rage, and the Qing army crowded on the two-zhang wide bridge deck, unable to avoid it, and the tyrannical bullets screamed, piercing the armor of the Qing army, breaking their limbs, and the screams converged;

The side of the bridge deck is like a dumpling, and the Qing army constantly falls into the moat, causing the water to splash, like a dragon churning, and the river surface is soon dyed red, and the floating corpses are clogged.

Maller paid at least two hundred casualties before rushing under the walls, and ladders with barbs quickly climbed the walls.

"Up!" Maller roared incessantly.

One by one, the Tartars pounced on the ladder like wolves and flew up
