Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 227
As soon as the siege rebels showed their heads, they were chopped off by Xuanjia soldiers wielding Mo knives.

At the crenel defended by Qi's army, rebels also climbed up to the top of the wall.

But what awaited them were black muzzles.

"Bang bang..."

Before they could scream out in shock, a burst of gunshots rang out, their heads were pierced by bullets, and their bodies fell off the city wall one after another.

The bandit soldiers who were desperately climbing up were thrown into the moat one by one by the corpses of their companions, and drowned in a daze.

No matter what dynasty, siege warfare is the war with the most casualties, especially the side that is besieging the city.

Therefore, in order to encourage soldiers to climb to the top of the city, the reward for the first soldier to stand on the top of the city is also the most generous.

Once you stand on the top of the opponent's city first, as long as you survive, this battle will define your life.

Even if you are a small army soldier, as long as you are still alive when the city is captured, it is not a dream to become a centurion and a thousand commander.

This is also one of the main reasons why soldiers bravely rushed to the front during siege battles.

Daishan was overjoyed to see that the Ming army stopped bombarding and the Han army was able to successfully ascend the city.

No matter what conspiracy the other party has, as long as the troops under his command can successfully enter the city, the possibility of capturing Liaoyang will increase greatly.

Although he saw that the Han army on the top of the city was cut down one after another, Daishan still ordered a storm without hesitation.

At the same time, part of the Han army was allowed to attack the city gate, and the Zhenghongqi cavalry was also ready to attack.

Once they break through the city gate, they will rush into Liaoyang City like a tide.

Liu Liangchen and Zhu Shichang were also eager to make contributions, and they led the supervising team to urge the Han army to divide into two groups.

Climb the siege ladder all the way to attack the city, and rush all the way to the gate of Liaoyang crazily.

Dai Shan also believed that this is a good opportunity to break through Liaoyang City in one fell swoop.

Hastily ordered the two Man Dahai brothers to lead some of the Zhenghongqi cavalry to follow.

In this way, the Han army was in front, and the Dongyao cavalry was behind. More than 1 Dongyao cavalry and the Han army quickly approached the city gate.

Huang Ming, the titan of Qi's army on the tower above the city gate, saw that Dongyu was so crazy, he secretly gave Qi Jiguang's prediction a thumbs up in his heart.

Fortunately, the governor was well prepared, otherwise the Ming army would have been in chaos for a while in the face of the Eastern exile army desperately climbing to the top of the city and attacking the city gate.

"Come here, fifty cannons use flowering ammunition, and the other fifty cannons use live ammunition, and fire in turn!"

"Yes"

"Rumble..."

A round of live ammunition was fired wildly, giving the Han army who was rushing towards the city gate a blow.

Fifty live ammunition weighing tens of kilograms instantly attacked the Han army crowd.

After piercing through the bandits in front, the inertia remained undiminished, and they continued to bounce and crush some Han soldiers behind them before they stopped rolling.

There are too many opponents, and although fifty live ammunition is very fierce, most of the Han army can avoid the attack.

The speed of the impact paused for a moment, and then began to charge again.

"Flower bombs, fire!"

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

In this way, hundreds of cannons kept attacking in turn, especially the bombardment bombing at close range was more powerful.

The Han army and some of the Eastern captive cavalry were hit by the explosive wire bombs one after another, and their battle armor was instantly pierced, splashing blood.

The bombardment on the city not only caused the loss of more than half of the Han army, but also killed hundreds of cavalrymen from the Eastern captives by stray bullets.

Half a stick of incense time, the corpses of the Eastern captive cavalry and the Han army were already piled up in front of the city gate.

Liu Liangchen Zhu Shichang saw that something was wrong and immediately ordered the Han army to retreat.

Seeing that in a short period of time, more than half of the Han army suffered casualties, and hundreds of cavalrymen from the East Captives were also killed or injured. "

Daishan did not force the Han army to attack the city gate again.

Instead, he asked them all to climb the siege ladder, while he and a group of generals retreated out of the range of the artillery to command remotely.

At this time, the city wall was densely packed, all of them were Han troops climbing along the siege ladder.

But no matter how many of them climbed to the top of the city, they would be cut down by the Ming army or shot to death. No one could live on the top of the city for more than a minute.

Seeing so many casualties under their command, Liu Liangchen and Zhu Shichang began to feel distressed, and they stopped urging the rebels to go to the city.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the top of the city also took the opportunity to rest for a while, and suddenly countless people came from the city.

They brought food and drinking water to the defenders on the top of the city, and they also asked to join the battle to defend the city.

For so many years, the Han people in Liaoyang City have been bullied by the Tartars.

Some families were destroyed, some wives were separated, and some women were captured by the Eastern captives to enjoy and have fun.

When it came time to fight, the food they harvested so hard was snatched away by the Tatars.

Many family members were starved to death. It can be said that they have lived an inhuman life since the Tatars occupied Liaoyang.

The Tartars act recklessly and do whatever they want to the Han people. If they resist a little, they will be beheaded, or even tied to the back of their horses and dragged to death.

What to do when the Tartars are hungry, they rob the Han people of food.

What if there are no slaves, rob the Han people as slaves.

What if there are no women to have fun with?Rob Han women.

These words have become the mantra of the Tartars.

Most Han people in Liaodong think about it every day, look forward to it every night, and are always expecting the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to rescue them.

Now it finally waited until the arrival of the Ming army, after Qi Jiguang entered Liaoyang.

It can be said that he loves the people like a child, not only does not offend the people, but also often helps them.

Only then did the Han people get out of the dire straits.

But now that the Tartars are attacking Liaoyang again, the common people can't sit still.

They took the initiative to help the Ming army defend the city, and sent almost all the delicious food at home to comfort the Ming soldiers.

They knew that only under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people could behave in a dignified manner and not be two-legged sheep.

An old man with tears in his eyes stepped forward to salute the soldiers:

"Soldiers, we are here to kill thieves. Take a break, eat something and drink some water. You are the support and backbone of our Han people. You must not be exhausted..."

Qi Jiguang hurried forward to support the old man:
"Master, the officers and soldiers appreciate your kindness. We have food and drink. Take these things back quickly. I know your family is also starving!"

"No, general, don't say that. Without you, our Han people would not even be able to save their lives. Why do you need these things..."

"That's right, take it, General, we'll defend the city..."

As some middle-aged women and young men spoke, they stepped forward to pick up the weapons on the ground, and immediately stood by the crenels of the city wall, glaring at the Tartars below the city.

In fact, the Ming army only defended and did not attack in order to reduce casualties. They were not afraid of the Tartars. When the Tartars got tired, the Ming army would immediately launch an attack.

These people have good intentions, but they don't have any combat experience, and they will disrupt the deployment of the Ming army.

Besides, how could Qi Jiguang use the people to defend the city, unless the Ming army died in battle.

Qi Jiguang had no choice but to accept the kindness of the people:

"Okay, the governor has accepted it, thank you very much, folks, please go down immediately, this place is too dangerous..."

……

It took Qi Jiguang a lot of words to drive the people out of the city. If they didn't leave, they would definitely be shot by bows and arrows.

The common people reluctantly walked down to the top of the city, but more than 2000 people rushed to the top of the city.

"Captain, take a break, let us replace the soldiers and kill the thieves..."
