The sky was already overcast, and at this time there were fifty or sixty Bayala soldiers at the head of the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fifty or sixty bayalas form a semicircle, and this semicircle covers a section of the city wall that is seven or eight meters long, which means that the gap in the city head is now seven or eight meters wide. The distance of seven or eight meters is enough to set up five ladders.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Five ladders were immediately erected at the breach, and more and more Bayala soldiers were struggling to climb up. With the combat strength of the Ebayala army, it only takes two hundred to completely control the wall where the main tower is located in the east of the city.

Wang Zaiyu urgently transferred fifty crossbowmen, these precious crossbowmen are better than firearms, and they are the trump cards of Wang Zaiyu's hands, and there are only a hundred in the whole city.

When the crossbowmen arrived, they were clever enough to hide behind the soldiers, and then fired at the barras with poisoned arrows. Crossbowmen are extremely effective in close combat, firing one hundred and fifty poisoned arrows in a triple salvo. Because these Baya soldiers wore extremely thick armor, the crossbowmen did not shoot at their chests, but at their necks, faces, arms, and even feet, anyway, these arrows were fed with the poison of the five-step snake and arsenic, and as long as they broke the hole, they would die of poison in a short time.

After a volley, more than a dozen Bayalas were shot in the face by crossbow arrows, and seven or eight more were shot in the neck and killed instantly. In addition, more than 20 Bayalas were shot in the arms, legs, and even feet, and the fierce fighting would speed up their poisonous hair, and after a few breaths, they would die of poison.

The crossbowmen immediately stepped back and reloaded their bolts, while the soldiers stood in front of them and continued to fight the rest of the Bayara. This round of volleys finally temporarily suppressed the opponent's momentum, and the gap was narrowed to about three meters. The ladder that had just been erected three meters away was burned down by the Ming army in the city.

At this time, the Houjin army was already in full attack on the city.

The eastern part of the city, where the main gate is located, was attacked the most heavily. Houjin used 3,000 elites and 5,000 pawns to launch a tidal rotation attack. Countless ladders were erected on the city walls, and under the cover of the archers on the high platforms, a large number of Tartars rushed upwards like crazy.

In the west of the city, because there is also a city gate, it was also taken care of by the Houjin soldiers. The main elite of the Jin army and the 3,500 soldiers of the 2,500 post-Jin army also attacked the city wall with a crazy attitude.

Even in the north and south of the city, where there were no city gates, there were 2,000 Houjin elites and 3,000 Houjin soldiers attacking respectively. They tried to cross the walls and then fight their way into the city to join the forces outside the city.

Under the offensive of the powerful Houjin army, Zunhua City was in an emergency on all sides.

The Imperial Study.

Qin Shuhuai, Sun Chengzong, and Chongzhen gathered around a map.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and dignified.

Chongzhen asked, "Brother Qin, why did you bring Zhao Shujiao into Shimen Village instead of directly entering Zunhua City?"

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"I'm afraid he will die in Zunhua City. ”

Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong looked at each other.

Oh, Chongzhen said, "What does Brother Qin mean...... Zunhua City will definitely not be able to hold it, right?"

"No, the minister is not sure if Zunhua City can be defended. The only thing the minister can be sure of is that General Zhao cannot die in Zunhua. ”

Chongzhen frowned, "Then when Zunhua City was besieged by Jiannu, didn't General Zhao go to the rescue? If he didn't save it, what was the point of being stationed in Shimen Village?"

Qin Shuhuai shook his head and said, "Zunhua is surrounded, he will naturally go to the rescue." It's just that the method of salvation may not be the same. ”

Sun Chengzong asked with great interest, "Oh, so Mr. Qin had already given General Zhao a face-to-face lecture when he came back?"

When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed and said, "Brother Qin, what trick did you give him as a ghost valley master? ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled bitterly and said, "Where is the clever plan, it's just a helpless move." I hope to delay the construction of the serf for a while. Whether Zunhua City can be defended depends on the soldiers in the city. ”

Zunhua City.

Wang Yuanya sat in a ruined wall, this was the original governor's yamen, after it was burned down, he still chose to work here.

"Report to your lordship, the south of the city is in an emergency! General Wang has come to ask for help!" A soldier with a bloody face ran over.

Wang Yuanya hesitated, but still picked up a Ling arrow and shouted at one person, "Jinsheng, you lead three hundred people to support the south of the city." ”

Jin Sheng was his son, who was only seventeen years old.

"Subordinates obey!"

Wang Jinsheng, who had handsome eyebrows, took the arrow, took a few steps out, and suddenly turned around and kowtowed to Wang Yuanya.

"Father, take care!"

Wang Yuanya's eyes were red, but she immediately stopped, waved at her son expressionlessly, and said, "Go!"

Wang Jinsheng's eyes were also wet, and the scene in front of him began to distort, and those ruins seemed to have turned into a monster's bloody mouth, which was about to swallow his father in one gulp.

In my father's hands, there were no more soldiers......

Wang Jinsheng gritted his teeth, got up from the ground suddenly, and ran to the south of the city with the last three hundred reserve troops in Zunhua City.

In the south of the city, the Houjin army has captured a hole more than ten meters long, and a steady stream of Houjin soldiers poured onto the city wall from there. Since the eastern part of the city was attacked by the Bayala soldiers, twenty crossbowmen in the south of the city were also transferred to the eastern part of the city, and it was difficult to recapture the gap in a short time without crossbowmen. After Wang Jinsheng arrived, he immediately led a hundred soldiers to rush up to plug the gap. However, at this time, nearly a hundred Houjin soldiers had gathered at the gap.

Although the Ming army on the city wall was still superior in numbers at this time, because the space on the city wall was narrow, it was impossible to rush up, and the combat effectiveness of the Tartars was generally higher than that of the Ming army, so the numerical advantage could not be transformed into a combat power advantage, and it was still impossible to plug the gap.

Wang Jinsheng felt hopeless. He knew that Jiannu came prepared this time, and if he didn't capture Zunhua City, he would definitely not retreat like last time.

Then be loyal to your country!

Wang Jin raised his sword and rushed to the front.

"Come with me, brethren!"

When the general surnamed Wang behind him heard this, he immediately shouted, "Protect Lord Wang!"

Whoosh, a rain of arrows struck, and General Wang was suddenly hit by several arrows, and one stumbled to the ground. A confidant came to help him, but he pushed him away.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up again, broke the arrow, and shouted with a knife, "Kill Lao Tzu!"

The city was clogged with corpses, blocking the roads, making it difficult to even get through them. And then the golden soldiers are still pouring up.

Wang Jin was stabbed several times in his body, and his robe was covered with blood.

Glancing weakly at the corpses on the ground, there were only four words in his mind: the general trend is gone.

He thought of his father's thin figure and stubborn face again.

Daddy, the boy went first......

Suddenly, a soldier beside him pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly, "Look, look!"

Wang Jinsheng looked up and saw a black dot suddenly appear on the horizon in the southwest direction. Soon, the black dot gradually turned into a line, and in the light of the first rays of the morning light, the line looked sparkling and shining!

More than one!

A line also appeared in the southeast direction!

Two lines are speeding towards this direction!

It's cavalry!

Cavalry is not needed to siege the city, so this must be the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!

He suddenly felt an incomparably huge force rising from the bottom of his heart, raised his sword again, and shouted hoarsely, "Reinforcements are coming, brothers hold on!"

Two thousand cavalrymen galloped from the southeast and southwest respectively, and the leading cavalry each held a triangular battle flag, and the word "Yuan" was written on the horse!

In charge of attacking the south gate was Zilharang. When he saw these two groups of cavalry, he was shocked or shocked.

The first thought in my mind was, Yuan Chonghuan's army has arrived?

But then he denied his own idea.

Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry took the southern route of Yong'an Road at the beginning, even if he immediately waved his troops north to support Zunhua after receiving the news that Zunhua was not lost and Shimenzhai was recaptured, it would not be possible to arrive so quickly.

He was expected to arrive at least tomorrow at noon, perhaps more slowly. Because from the southern line to Zunhua, the road is not easy to walk, and the rivers, mountains and rivers, even the cavalry can't run fast.

In the south of the city, where Jilharang is located, there are a total of 2,000 elite Houjin troops and 3,000 soldiers, most of whom are now involved in the siege battle, and only 500 elites and 1,000 soldiers remain by his side. What's worse is that because it is a siege, there are only 300 cavalry among these troops!

No matter how conceited Zilharang is, he knows that no matter how strong Dajin's infantry is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the ravages of 2,000 cavalry!
