East Factory Governor

Chapter 158 Cavalry!

The sky was already bright, and at this time there were fifty or sixty Bala soldiers on the top of the city.

Fifty or sixty Bayalas formed a semicircle, and this semicircle covered a section of the city wall that was seven or eight meters long. That is to say, the gap on the top of the city was now as large as seven or eight meters.The distance of seven or eight meters is enough to set up five ladders.

"Clap!"

"Clap!"

Immediately, five ladders were erected at the gap, and more and more Bala soldiers were struggling to climb up.With the fighting power of the Bala army, it only takes [-] to completely control the city wall where the main tower is located in the east of the city.

Wang Zaiyu urgently dispatched fifty crossbowmen. These precious crossbowmen are better than firearms soldiers. They are Wang Zaiyu's trump card, and there are only a hundred of them in the whole city.

After the crossbowmen arrived, they cleverly hid behind the soldiers, and then shot at the Ba Yala soldiers with poisonous arrows.Crossbowman is very effective in melee combat, and a round of three salvos is 150 poisoned arrows.Because these Bala soldiers wore extremely thick armor, the crossbowmen did not shoot at their chests, but aimed at their necks, faces, arms and even their feet. Anyway, these arrows fed the five-step snake The poison mixed with arsenic, as long as a breach is made, they will die of the poison in a short time.

After a round of salvo, more than a dozen Ba Yala were shot in the face by crossbow arrows, and seven or eight were shot in the neck and died on the spot.In addition, more than [-] Ba Yala were shot in the arms, legs and even the soles of the feet. Violent fighting will accelerate the speed of their poisoning, and they will die of poisoning within a few breaths.

The crossbowman retreated immediately after shooting a shot, and reloaded the crossbow arrows, while the soldiers stood in front of them and continued to fight the remaining Ba Yala.This round of volley 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 at the head of the city with kerosene.

At this time, the Houjin army had already attacked the city in an all-round way.

Because the east of the city is where the main city gate is, it has been attacked most violently.Hou Jin launched a tidal rotation attack with [-] elites and [-] guards.Numerous ladders were erected on the city wall, and under the cover of the archers on the high platform, a large number of Tartars rushed upward like crazy.

And in the west of the city, because there is also a city gate, it is also taken care of by Hou Jinbing.After [-], the main elite of the Golden Army and [-] soldiers also rushed towards the city wall in a frenzied manner.

Even in the north and south of the city without city gates, there are two thousand queen gold elites and three thousand queen gold soldiers attacking.They tried to cross the city wall, and then rushed into the city to join forces with the troops outside the city.

Under the powerful offensive of the Hou Jin army, Zunhua City was in a hurry on all sides.

Royal study.

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

The atmosphere is a bit depressing and dignified.

Chongzhen asked, "Brother Qin, why didn't you take Zhao Siaojiao into Shimenzhai and not directly into 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.

Er Er, Chongzhen said, "Brother Qin, what you mean is that Zunhua City will definitely not be able to be defended, right?"

"No, I am not sure whether Zunhua City can be defended. The only thing I can be sure of is that General Zhao cannot die in Zunhua."

Chongzhen frowned, "Didn't General Zhao go to rescue Zunhua City when it was besieged by Jiannu? If he didn't go to rescue, what's the point of stationing in Shimenzhai?"

Qin Shuhuai shook his head and said, "Zunhua is besieged, he will naturally rescue it. However, the method of rescue may be different."

Sun Chengzong asked with great interest, "Oh? So when Mr. Qin came back, he had taught General Zhao face-to-face instructions?"

When Chongzhen heard it, his eyes flashed and he said, "Brother Qin, what trick did you, a master of Guigu, give him? Tell me quickly."

Qin Shuhuai smiled wryly, and said, "It's not a clever plan, it's just a helpless move. I hope it can delay Jiannu for a while. Whether Zunhua City can be held or not depends on the soldiers in the city."

In Zunhua city.

Wang Yuanya was sitting among the ruins. This was the former governor's office. After it was burned down, he stubbornly chose to work here.

"Report to my lord, there is an emergency in the south of the city! General Wang Shen ordered the younger one to come for help!" A soldier with a bloody face ran over.

Wang Yuanya hesitated, but still picked up a command arrow, and shouted at one person, "Jin Sheng, you lead 300 people to support Chengnan."

Jin Sheng is his son, only 17 years old.

"Subordinates obey!"

The handsome Wang Jinsheng took the command arrow, took a few steps outside, then suddenly turned around and kowtowed to Wang Yuanya.

"Father, take care!"

Wang Yuanya's eyes turned red, but she stopped immediately, waved to 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 ruined walls seemed to have turned into the bloody mouth of a monster, which would soon swallow his father in one gulp.

There are no more soldiers in my father's hands...

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

In the south of the city, the Hou Jin army had captured a hole more than ten meters long, and a steady stream of Hou Jin soldiers rushed up the city wall from there.Since the east of the city was attacked by the Bala soldiers, twenty crossbowmen from the south of the city were also transferred to the east of the city. Without the crossbowmen, it would be difficult to regain this gap in a short time.After Wang Jinsheng arrived, he immediately led a hundred soldiers to rush up to block the gap.However, at this time, nearly a hundred Houjin soldiers at the gap had gathered.

Although the number of Ming troops on the city wall was still superior at this time, because of the narrow space on the city wall, it was impossible to swarm up, and the combat effectiveness of the Tartars was generally higher than that of the Ming army, so the advantage in numbers could not be converted into an advantage in combat power, and the gap still could not be blocked.

Wang Jinsheng felt desperate.He knew that Jiannu came prepared this time, and he would definitely not retreat like last time if Zunhua City was not captured.

Then be loyal to your country!
Wang Jinsheng raised his saber and rushed to the front.

"Brothers, follow me!"

The officer surnamed Wang behind him immediately shouted, "Protect Lord Wang!"

Whoosh, whoosh, a rain of arrows hit, and Wang Shenjiang was hit by several arrows immediately, and he staggered and fell to the ground.A confidant soldier came to help him, but he pushed him away.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up again, broke off the arrow body, raised his knife and shouted, "Kill me!"

The head of the city was filled with corpses, blocking the roads, making it difficult to even pass through it.Then the golden soldiers continued to come up.

Wang Jinsheng was stabbed several times, and his shirt was covered with blood.

Looking weakly at the corpses on the ground, there are only four words in his mind: The situation is over.

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

Father, the child goes first.
Suddenly, a soldier beside him pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly, "Look, look!"

Wang Jinsheng looked up and saw a black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon in the southwest direction.Soon, the black dot gradually turned into a line, and in the first ray of morning light, this line looked shining and shining!
More than one!
There is also a line in the southeast direction!

Two lines are coming here quickly!

It's cavalry!
You don't need cavalry to attack a city, so this must be Ming's cavalry!
He suddenly felt an incomparably huge force rising from the bottom of his heart, raised his saber again, and shouted hoarsely, "Reinforcements are coming, brothers hold on!"

Two thousand cavalry came galloping from the southeast and southwest respectively, and the leading cavalry each held a triangular battle flag, with a big word "Yuan" written on them!

It was Jierhalang who was in charge of attacking the south gate.When he saw these two groups of cavalry, he was nothing but shocked.

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

But then he denied his own thoughts.

Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning cavalry first took the southern line of Yong'an [-]st Road. Even if he immediately sent troops north to support Zunhua after receiving the news that Zunhua had not been lost and Shimenzhai had been recaptured, it was impossible to arrive so soon.

According to the estimate, he will arrive at least at noon tomorrow, maybe even later.Because from the southern line to Zunhua, the road is not easy to walk. Among them, there are many people in the rivers and mountains, even cavalry can't run very fast.

In the south of the city where Jierhalang was located, there were a total of [-] elite Houjin troops and [-] soldiers. Most of them participated in the siege battle now, and only [-] elites and [-] soldiers stayed with him.What's terrible is that because it is a siege, there are only [-] cavalry among these troops!

No matter how conceited Jierharang is, he knows that no matter how strong Dajin's infantry is, it will never be able to withstand the ravages of two thousand cavalry!
