Chapter 157 The Zunhua City at Risk
In the early morning of the seventh day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led an army to Zunhua city again.

At Choushi, three hundred Ba Yala soldiers approached Zunhua City quietly in the dark, intending to climb over the city wall, seize the city gate, and lead the army into the city.

But this time the Ming army guarding the city took precautions, and these Ba Yala soldiers were quickly discovered. Under the dense firepower net of bows, arrows and bird guns, the Ba Yala soldiers withdrew.

Half an hour later, the Ba Yala soldiers swept in again, this time they carried big shields in addition to the ladders, as if they would not give up until they climbed the city wall.The highly nervous Ming army fired bows, arrows and blunderbuss again, "repelling" these Ba Yala soldiers.

After repeating this three or four times, Wang Zaiyu, the deputy general of the Ming army on the top of the city, finally found out that something was wrong, and immediately reported to Wang Yuanya, thinking that Jiannu was deliberately using the Ba Yala soldiers to consume the precious arrows, gunpowder, and projectiles in Zunhua City.

The arrows and gunpowder in the city itself were all burned out in the last fire. Although they received relief from the Santunying later, the amount was not much.The Ming army defending the city was very nervous. Seeing Jiannu coming to attack, the archers and firearms soldiers opened fire with all their strength, and even wiped out half of the inventory at once.

These Ba Yala soldiers are all equipped with three layers of armor, and they are also wearing a large shield. Not to mention bows and arrows, even firearms cannot penetrate them.After attacking the city three or four times, there were only seven or eight corpses left on the ground, and most of them retreated back unharmed.

The Houjin Legion outside the city surrounded Zunhua City and let out a roar that shook the sky. The roar was like a landslide and tsunami, sweeping through the night.All the Ming soldiers in the city were shocked.

Under the bright and clear moon, there were all around the army of Hou Jin, whose blades shone with a gloomy cold light, and their roars were like wild beasts roaring, setting off waves of trembling sound.

Fear tortured these defenders all the time.In a state of fear, everyone's life-saving instinct was triggered. Once they found an enemy rushing up, they would shoot arrows and guns desperately.

The Bala soldiers rushed up again, this time Wang Zaiyu ordered that they should not shoot arrows or shoot ahead of time, and they had to wait until they climbed the ladder halfway before shooting at them.

However, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of these Bala soldiers.Historically, the Ba Ya La soldiers are composed of one in a hundred brave warriors. In this world, every Ba Ya La soldiers will be personally inherited by the masters of gold, whether it is lightness skills or internal strength, they have been greatly improved. Strengthening, these Ba Yala soldiers can easily cross the city wall of three to five meters, so as long as they climb to the "death zone" of the Zunhua city wall, that is, there are still about five meters away from the city head, and they are in the best shooting position for firearms soldiers. , you can jump up.

Ba Yala Erzhen (commander in charge of Ba Yala) Huercha stood proudly at the foot of the city, watching the densely packed Ba Yala soldiers climbing up the ladder to the top of the city.

This time he dispatched all five hundred Bala soldiers under his command.

As he expected, after three or four feint attacks, the Ming army did not dare to shoot arrows and fire at will.In this way, as long as these elites of the Great Gold ascend to the top of the city, they will be able to win in one fell swoop!
Under the cover of the Houjin archers, the five hundred Ba Yala soldiers quickly climbed halfway, Wang Zaiyu smiled coldly, and then ordered to fight back.However, the archers no longer participated this time, because the bows and arrows had little effect on these heavily armed Ba Yala soldiers. The firearm soldiers who participated in the counterattack were the firearms soldiers at the shooting holes and the equipment soldiers who poured hot water, boiling oil, and kerosene on the top of the city.

The bird guns fired in unison at first, and they all greeted the thighs, heads, and necks of these Ba Yala soldiers. Although it was night, because the moonlight was good and the distance was close, they still kept their heads to a certain extent, causing A lot of kills.

Then came the equipment soldiers at the top of the city. First, they poured down the hot oil and waste water with a large ladle, and all of a sudden there were ghosts and wolves on the ladder.Immediately afterwards, many soldiers of the Ming army began to spray kerosene on the ladder, and the kerosene quickly flowed down the ladder. Many Ba Yala felt their hands were wet, and when they came closer to smell it, they suddenly had a bad feeling.

The Ming army soldiers at the top of the city held torches and lit the ladders one by one, and the ladders suddenly ignited a raging fire.

Wang Zaiyu sneered again, these stupid Jiannu, do you really think I will just watch you climb up like this?
The ladder caught fire, and the clothes of many Ba Yala soldiers were burned instantly, and they fell down screaming.

However, what Wang Zaiyu didn't expect was that seven or eight Bala soldiers on the ladder suddenly accelerated their climbing speed, rushing up against the bullets of the bird guns, boiling water and boiling oil!
When they were still four or five meters away from the top of the city, the spearmen of the Ming army immediately gathered in front of the seven or eight ladders, ready to condescend and kill these sturdy and abnormal Houjin soldiers when they approached the top of the city.

Under the cover of several high platforms, Houjin's archers rushed to the densely gathered spearmen and rained arrows frantically. Although these spearmen were covered by shield soldiers, they still suffered a lot of casualties.However, more and more spearmen gathered towards the positions where the seven or eight ladders were located. There is no doubt that the Ming army would never allow the opponent to climb their own city walls.

Then, something unexpected happened.I saw a Ba Yala soldier who jumped first, and jumped onto the top of the city from a position of more than four meters away.The moment he came up, he slashed his sword first, forcing the nearest Ming soldiers away, and stood firm.

Then, the second, third, and fourth Bala soldiers rushed up!

There are seven or eight ladders, and nearly twenty Bala soldiers rushed up all at once!These Ba Yala soldiers were well-trained, and they quickly gathered together, forming a circle back to back, and mastered a section of the city wall about three meters long!
The two sides soon fought.There were nearly 500 defenders at the head of the Ming army, but because of the narrow position on the city wall, a large number of Ming troops were blocked on the passage, and only 50 to [-] people could actually fight these Baya soldiers at the same time.These Ba Yala soldiers were extremely powerful, and with the support of the archers on the Houjin Gaotai, the Ming army surrounding them fell down wave after wave, but there was nothing they could do about them.

At this time, on the gap of about three meters, two more ladders were set up, and a steady stream of Ba Yala soldiers climbed up from these two ladders.

The most taboo thing for the ancients to defend the city is to be opened up.And now, the gap has opened.

Seeing the chaos in the city, Hou Jin's army immediately ordered the army to attack in an all-round way!

Countless Empress Jin soldiers rushed down the city like a tide.

Zunhua City is at stake!
