After three days of fighting, every time the army attacked the city and was about to gain a firm foothold, it would be stubbornly driven down by the Ming army, and it fell short.

Li Zicheng increased his troops little by little, and now he has gradually pressed the main infantry of more than 20,000 people, but he still can't defeat the Ming army at the head of the city and capture Kaifeng Mansion!

Li Zicheng was full of anxiety, and he jumped like thunder, and the generals around him had been scolded by him all over again.

This time, I finally couldn't help it.

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "I can't care so much, I must take Kaifeng Mansion today, their Ming army is already at the end of the crossbow, and the order is that the whole army will advance towards Kaifeng City and launch a full-scale onslaught, even if it is a night battle, Kaifeng Mansion must be taken down and Zhu Jie must be captured alive!" ”

Li Zicheng gave an order, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Zhang Nai, Gao Yigong and other fierce generals in the army, one by one, led the elite soldiers under their command, and began to launch a new round of fierce offensive towards Kaifeng Mansion!

At the head of Kaifeng Mansion, Bu Congshan's face changed greatly, and the whole army was dispatched, pouring into the nest, at least sixty or seventy thousand people, which was absolutely impossible to resist by himself!

"Quick, quick, report to the Governor immediately! The whole army has set out and launched a fierce attack on the city! ”

Bu Congshan shouted urgently.

Someone flew down to deliver a letter to Zhu Jie, and soon, Zhu Jie came to the top of the city, looking at the army that rushed up like a tide under the city from a distance!

"My lord, look, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand troops in this invading army!"

Bu Congshan was a little panicked and said urgently.

Zhu Jie said lightly: "What's the hurry, the show has just begun, even if they dispatch 100,000 people, this time they don't want to be able to take advantage of us, concentrate all our artillery, and counterattack with all our might, and all 2,000 musketeers will enter the front line, as soon as they make a move, they will be stunned for me!" ”

Zhu Jie gave an order, all the troops on the head of the city took action, Tongzhou Town and the Qin army together, carried no less than thirty Hongyi artillery, each artillery is not less than three or four thousand gold, and now all of them have been pulled up to the head of Kaifeng City, this is the Ming army wasted all the strength to pull up, plus there are several artillery pieces in the city of Kaifeng Mansion, small forty artillery, almost at the same time, launched an artillery bombardment towards the army!

This time it's not just an ordinary Hongyi cannon, there are also several flowering cannons, one shell after another roared through the sky, almost at the same time fell in the camp of the intruding army, not to mention the explosion, the huge volume of this cannonball alone is enough to shock people's hearts, and the cannonball will smash out a big hole in a square circle!

The soldiers of the advancing army watched the cannonballs fall down, and they had no time to dodge, they were smashed into meat cakes by the cannonballs, and the flesh and blood were blurred, even if they were lucky enough to see that they had escaped the catastrophe, they were already faceless, and such a dense artillery attack was almost something they had never encountered!

In this era, the productivity is very low, casting an artillery, it takes a huge amount of silver, and it is very laborious to produce, even in the Songjin Campaign, the Qing army has exhausted the strength of the whole country, but it has only mobilized more than 30 artillery, here is only a concentrated artillery in Kaifeng Prefecture, it has reached the artillery power of the whole army of the Qing Dynasty!

After a wave of shells, the Chuang army was beaten in a mess, however, they are not without seeing artillery, and they are afraid to be afraid, but the soldiers of the Chuang Army also understand that after the artillery is fired, before the next wave of attacks arrives, at least it can leave a period of respite for the Chuang Army, the Ming Army needs to adjust the artillery, reset, and then be able to launch, this time is the best time to charge, if you stay in place, then you are a real fool!

Yuan Zongdi and the others shouted one after another, commanding the army to rush forward!

Above the city, Bu Congshan wiped the sweat on his forehead, good guys, these people really don't want to die, they know that their artillery is huge, and they still have to attack hard!

Zhu Jie in the middle shouted coldly: "Order, the musketeers are ready to shoot, mobilize archers to help shoot, if they have the ability, they will rush to the city, hehe, Lao Tzu wants to see if they are afraid of death!" Tell Qin Mufeng to mobilize all the forces of the Chinese army camp near the south city gate, wait for the order, and once there is chaos in the army, attack immediately, today, is the end of the thief! ”

Outside the city, Li Zicheng personally sat in the rear, commanding the army to charge forward, he didn't expect that there were so many artillery pieces concentrated here, the power was so huge, almost unseen, almost the peak Tianxiong army and the Qin army did not have so many artillery!

I didn't expect that this Zhu Jie had really hidden his strength all along, and he didn't use artillery!

Li Zicheng hated in his heart, these artillerymen alone were enough to drink a pot of his own, and it was impossible to take Kaifeng Mansion today! However, now that the army has launched an attack, it is already ready to be launched, and it is necessary to complete an attack once and then retreat before it can decide on the following offensive strategy.

Li Zicheng watched his soldiers get closer and closer to Kaifeng City, and after only three waves of artillery bombardment, and then the interval between the cannons, the breaking army had already come to Kaifeng City!

When they arrived at Kaifeng, the soldiers could at least take a breath, the space within a range of at least dozens of zhang was safe, and it was completely a dead angle of the artillery range, even if it was powerful, it was useless, and it could not threaten this corner at all!

Before the intrusive army had time to breathe evenly, and before the ladder was erected, the sound of muskets above the city had already been heard!

Bang bang bang!

The sound of flintlock muskets is endless, the sound is like bursting beans, the Ming army musketeers on the head of the city launched a new wave of attack towards the breaking army, this thing, although there is no artillery power, but it can't stand much, and the close attack completely makes up for the disadvantage of the artillery in the range!

In addition to muskets, there are more than 1,000 archers, constantly firing at the soldiers under the city!

The unfortunate intruder army did not expect that when they arrived under the city wall, they would encounter a more ferocious counterattack than before, and the sound of wailing under the city was already killed under the dense musket fire before they had time to climb the city wall on a ladder.

In the distance, Li Zicheng was so angry that he stomped his foot fiercely, ******, he actually forgot that in addition to artillery, this Ming army also has a powerful musketeer, miscalculated, now the opportunity has been lost, in the attack, I am afraid that it will be more unlucky, only to withdraw the army first, and find another way!

"Order all departments to withdraw their troops immediately!"
