In early spring, the pouring rain definitely does not last too long, only half a day, the heavy rain gradually decreases, and by the next day, the sky has cleared.

Zilharang couldn't wait, and when the sky was still drizzling, he directly ordered the artillery to attack again!

"Give the order to the artillerymen, strike immediately! Now that the city walls are being poured by heavy rain, it is the time when it is the softest, and the cannonballs can bring more damage to the city walls! ”

The artillery of the Qing army wiped the rain off the artillery with a dry cloth and began to quickly put into preparation!

"Boom, boom!"

The cannon resounded in the sky again, a cannonball went straight to the city wall, smashed on the city wall, this time there was no smoke and dust, there was no huge impact sound, the cannonball smashed straight into the rammed earth layer inside the city wall, after two or three days of shelling, the blue bricks on the periphery of the entire city wall have already been destroyed and not look good, the rammed earth layer inside is completely exposed to the outside, it has been loosened by the cannonball, now it is poured by the rain, the rammed earth has become very soft, a cannonball is more than ten or twenty catties, smashed from the air, Naturally, I went straight in.

The soldiers and civilians above the city moved again, and after a day of repair, everyone's spirit recovered a lot, and they quickly climbed to the top of the city, ready to meet the battle at any time!

The artillery lasted again for more than half an hour, and finally, the long-term bombardment made the city wall unbearable, and a section of the city wall completely collapsed, along with dozens of soldiers and civilians on it, were completely buried in the collapsed city wall in exclamation.

Luo Yu and Song Qing glanced at each other, is today the moment when Luoyang City fell, from the arrival of the Qing army to the present, it has been a full six days, it is not easy, it is always worthy of the people on this side, and it is finally worthy of the imperial court, and now Chen Qiyu is still behind urging the soldiers who defend the city to pay for food, and he has done his best!

"Lord Song, in this battle, I will die with the city, and I, Luo Yu, will never take half a step back! Someone, give an order, concentrate all the bows and arrows around the gap, and make every effort to organize the Qing army to approach and prepare gunpowder! ”

Luo Yu shouted loudly, as long as the Qing army rushed into the city, then this battle would be thought to be over, no one could turn the tide, not to mention him Luo Yu, even if the emperor is here, he is powerless in the face of this situation, in a few days, the casualties in the city have exceeded eight thousand, and the young people who can stand up and continue to fight with the Qing army are only two or three thousand, and they have no combat experience, how can they resist the Qing army in the charge?

"Attack!"

This time, the two red flags of the Qing army were finally dispatched, and thousands of cavalry rushed towards the gap in the city wall, like a hurricane, which was only a few hundred steps away, and in the blink of an eye, it was at the edge of the city wall, above the city head, arrows rained down, which was already concentrated almost all the feather arrows in the entire Luoyang City, desperately shooting arrows at the Qing cavalry, trying to prevent the Qing army from approaching.

If you want to completely stop the approach of the Qing army with feather arrows, and they are all elite and not well-trained, how can you do it? After paying more than 100 casualties, the cavalry of the Qing army had already rushed to the gap, and the war horse jumped directly into the city, killing towards the city!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

This is, Luo Yu's last killer weapon prepared, almost all the gunpowder around Luoyang City has been collected, there are hundreds of catties, all of them are buried in this area, the line of fire is spread far away, this piece of the city wall is the most seriously damaged, I am afraid that it is not used to bombard with artillery, just by hitting it with a siege vehicle, this city wall can be knocked down, Luo Yu chose this place as the best location!

Seeing hundreds of cavalry rushing in, Luo Yu roared, and the soldiers who were ambushed nearby lit the line of fire, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of catties of gunpowder were all detonated, and the violent explosion shrouded the area behind the city wall in a radius of dozens of zhang, bricks, stones, soil, and even the bricks and tiles of the houses all flew into the sky, and even some of the soldiers and civilians defending the city suffered from the pond fish, and were directly rushed up by the air waves, and fell heavily to the ground!

As for the Manchurian elite cavalry in the center of the explosion, it is not to mention that even the men and horses were directly torn to pieces by the violent explosion, and the bones were gone, even the cavalry who were farther away were also doomed, the bricks and tiles flying everywhere were smashed on the body, and they had to shed their skin if they didn't die!

A cavalryman was howling and charging forward, suddenly an explosion sounded, and it felt dark in front of him, and then he felt something fly into his mouth, sticky, shy, and in a panic, he hurriedly pulled out the thing with his hand and wiped it...... A bloodshot ball!

The cavalryman closed his eyes and fell off his horse......

In the distance, Zilharang felt a shock and a sharp pain in his heart, and watched hundreds of cavalry disappear from the world like this, his own red flag elite! My own red flag elite!

"Damn! The order is that the cavalry will continue to assault, and they must take Luoyang City in the shortest possible time, and I will kill a chicken and dog in the entire Luoyang City! ”

Zilharang roared angrily.

As soon as the words fell, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the southeast, sounding like muffled thunder, and quickly advancing in the direction of his army!

Zilharang's heart jumped, and he looked into the distance on his horse, only to see a cavalry in the distance, almost four or five thousand people, rapidly approaching the Qing army!

"It's the cavalry of the Ming army!"

Zilharang's expression changed greatly, just by looking at it, the combat power of this cavalry is definitely not weak, plus the speed has been released, rushing towards his own army without dying, and if he doesn't make a decision, the Qing army will suffer a big loss!

"It's not good, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived, Zu Dashou, Shi Tingzhu will immediately meet the battle!"

As soon as Zierharang's words fell, the cavalry had already broken through to a position only one or two miles away from the edge of the Qing army's position, such a close distance, in the blink of an eye, in such a short period of time, Zu Dashou and Shi Tingzhu wanted to mobilize the army to fight, obviously it was too late!

And what stunned Zierharang and Zu Dashou the most was that these people were three hundred steps away, and they directly picked up their muskets and started shooting at the Qing army!

Bang bang bang!

From loading bullets to aiming and firing, it took more than ten seconds, and in exactly these ten seconds, the cavalry rushed forward more than a hundred steps again, and it was less than two hundred steps away from the Qing army, and the musket was fired instantly!

Even if it is two hundred steps away, firing a musket is an amazing thing, at least, Zu Dashou has not heard of it, whose musket can injure people at a distance of two hundred steps, the three-eyed eyeball, it can barely reach a distance of one hundred and eighty steps, as for the arquebus, it is a little farther, but look at this weather, it has just rained heavily, the world has not yet sunny, and the arquebus cannot be ignited and shot at all!
