However, even if the power of these artillery pieces is not good, it also brings great pressure to the Guide Mansion, one shell after another, uninterrupted to the city wall of the Guide Mansion to launch an attack, three or five minutes in a wave, more than an hour down, more than 200 shells were thrown on the head of the Guide Mansion, not only the city wall was blown up to a thousand holes, even the invasion of the army is a lot of casualties!

Li Yan's ruthless teeth itched, bullying people, the Ming army is bullying people, using so many cannons in one go, and constantly launching attacks, it is really too deceitful, if Lao Tzu also has more than a dozen Hongyi cannons, will he be afraid of you?

However, now there is no artillery in Guide Mansion, only four or five artillery pieces, or old artillery with dirt and slag, the power is very limited, and now it can only rely on the infantry to support the city, as long as the city wall does not collapse in a large area, the Ming army is ribs and wings don't even think about attacking the head of Guide Mansion, Li Yan still has this confidence!

After all, the strength of the Ming army under the city is also very limited, under the northern city, 2,000 cavalry have been taken away by Qin Mufeng, and there are more than 3,000 elite forces of the Ming army left to attack, and the strength is really weak!

"General, otherwise, let me lead a force out of the city to attack the Ming army? They don't have many troops outside the city, even less than 4,000 troops if they die, but we still have 6 or 7,000 people in the city! ”

Song Tianxing gritted his teeth and shouted.

Li Yan shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "Even if there are only 3,000 people, we have no choice, the troops sent are less, not enough for people to eat, and the troops sent are too many - didn't you find that there are thousands of Ming troops under the east city now?" When the time comes, how will the Guide Mansion deal with it? Now our best way is to defend to the death, to resist the attack of the Ming army, anyway, the Ming army attack, we defend, the Ming army will always pay a much greater price than us! ”

Song Tianxing thought about it, even if the Ming army is elite, the price that needs to be paid to besiege Guide Mansion is also huge, in terms of the art of war, one defense, two attacks, three sieges, if you want to capture a city, at least you have to gather more than three times the strength of the defending city, so you can be sure, the price paid is also more than twice as much as the defenders, this Zhu Jie only mobilized less than 10,000 people, and he wanted to take down the Guide Mansion, which is tantamount to a fool's dream, even if there is a large number of artillery as the backing, it is not an easy thing.

Two hours of shelling, so that the city wall of the north city of Guide Mansion is full of holes, but it is still standing there, not collapsed, the Ming army began to launch the first wave of offensive, the Ming infantry began to rush towards the Guide City!

The intruding army at the head of the city released arrows one after another, stopping the advance of the Ming army, and the two sides launched a fierce battle under the city of Guidefu, a battle, which lasted from early morning to afternoon, and the Ming army still returned in vain, with many casualties.

However, the life of the invasion army is also very difficult, the casualties are even comparable to the Ming army, it is really the combat power of the Ming army is too strong, and with the help of artillery, the invasion army occupies a geographical advantage, and still cannot occupy the complete initiative against the Ming army!

After a big battle, Li Yan was already speechless, the casualties paid were too great, this is just the beginning, the Ming army's forces in Dongcheng have not yet been put into the attack, if once put into the attack, the pressure of the army will be comprehensively improved, and when the time comes, whether the Guide Mansion can hold it is really a matter between the two.

As for Zhu Jie, he is not in a hurry, after all, the factors of temptation on the first day are far greater than the factors of onslaught, and the next time is the time to really reveal the sharp minions of the Ming army.

"Didn't you, sir, say that you want me to press up with musketeers to provide cover for the brethren? Why did you take us down again? ”

Zhao Zhenghang was very dissatisfied, as the commander of the musket battalion, this is one of Zhu Jie's confidants and favorite generals, otherwise it would be impossible to take charge of the musket battalion of the Chinese army alone, and attack the Guide Mansion, it is the time when the musket battalion is needed to exert its might, I didn't expect that the adults would change generals on the spot and not let their musket battalion go, it is really incredible......

"Zhenghang, don't worry, it's not the best time for you to make a move, just as soon as we fight, we will play all our cards, it's not a good thing, good steel always has to be used on the blade......"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

"When is the best time?"

Zhao Zhenghang hurriedly asked.

Zhu Jie stood up and replied: "Wait, when the time comes, I will let you fight, but when the time comes, you kid must press me up, don't give me a strain, if you can't hold your breath at the critical moment, I can't spare you!" ”

Zhao Zhenghang was overjoyed, slapped his chest loudly, and shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, it's all wrapped up in the last general, and I will definitely not let my adults down!" ”

The next day, it was dawn again, Zhu Jie once again commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Guide, this time it was still the artillery opening, still the same position, a shell did not kill and smashed down on the head of the city of Guide, two consecutive days of artillery attack, so that the city wall of the north city was already crumbling, after all, the city wall of Guide Mansion is far from being comparable with Kaifeng Mansion, this is just a general city, not a provincial city, the same Guide Mansion is not a big name, Baoding like a strategic rush, the city defense is naturally much worse, even the last time the army attacked the city, the city wall was already damaged to a certain extent, but it was not so serious.

This time, for two consecutive days, Guide Mansion encountered the most fierce artillery fire, two days to think, down, at least more than 700 shells, Guide Mansion with blue brick city wall, has a history of nearly 100 years, where can withstand such a wild bombardment?

In just two days, it's already unbearable!

"Boom ......"

Finally, on the left side of the city gate of the North City, a city wall was the first to collapse, and a gap appeared, the so-called embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, not to mention that there was such a gap, such a gap became bigger and bigger, and the army was completely panicked!

"Order, let Zhao Zhenghang lead the musket battalion and launch an attack on Guide Mansion! Full fire! Press it up! Order Tu Sihai to lead the infantry battalion to launch a surprise attack at the same time, seize the gap, and the time has come to decide the winner! ”

Zhu Jie looked at the collapsed city wall and the huge smoke and dust, and his heart relaxed, now that the city wall has collapsed, the city is full of scattered bricks and stones, and the city wall can no longer hinder the attack of the Ming army!

"Order, one infantry battalion is being mobilized, no, two infantry battalions are mobilized, and the gap is held, but it must be held out until night! Song Tianxing, you come to personally command the battle! The Ming army must not be allowed to rush up! ”
