Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

And during the short break after repelling Chuangying's first attack on the city, Qian Qi ruthlessly ordered the beheading of the retreating young defenders, and ordered their family members to be beheaded as well.

This bloody act immediately woke up those young and strong minds.In the face of the second siege of the camp, those young and strong behaved like two different people.

At this time, the crude siege equipment of Chuangying also showed its weakness.Those long ladders could be knocked down with a push rod, and broken with a log. Therefore, after losing more than a dozen long ladders, the second siege of the camp ended in vain.

Seeing that the two sieges failed, Gao Yingxiang was furious.He ordered the concentration of 6000 or [-] long ladders, and increased the number of soldiers attacking the city to [-].The archers are required to cover behind, and the siege troops are divided into three teams to attack the city in turn. If they do not capture Ningling County, they will not retreat.

Gao Yingxiang still remembered his promise to sleep in the Ningling county government office tonight. He didn't want to be ruined by hundreds of officers and soldiers in the small county town.At this time, Tiangong also seemed to feel something, snowflakes fluttered, and after a while, it snowed heavily.

But Gao Yingxiang's good mood was destroyed by Qianhusuo Fortress who was neglected by him.After finally waiting for Luo Rucai's large army to pass by, the gate of Qianhusuo Fortress was opened, and five hundred soldiers of the Guide Army rushed out of the fortress.

The night and the snowy weather effectively covered the actions of the five hundred soldiers.In addition, they were charging towards the bottom of the slope, so when these soldiers rushed into the town, the new soldiers who rummaged through the town in the town hadn't reacted at all.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Guided Army formed a tactical team.In the front row are two sword and shield players, behind are four spearmen, and on both sides are two axe and gunmen for cover, and finally there are two gunmen for long-range attacks.

The tactical teams pushed along the streets of the town one by one.Soon, all the recruits who broke into the camp in the town were cleared up.Then they immediately formed a phalanx, and at this time, more than [-] cavalry came out of the Qianhusuo fortress again to line up behind the phalanx for protection.As soon as the cavalry formation was formed, they immediately rushed towards the siege camp.

The first thing that ushered in was a small group of peasant rebels who went out to loot.This peasant rebel army has more than 3000 people. Seeing the phalanx of the Guided Army, they immediately turned to stop the phalanx from advancing.

The two armies quickly approached for engagement.Unsurprisingly, the infantry and cavalry formation of the Guided Army, with its advanced formation and excellent weapons, smashed the formation of the peasant rebel army with firecrackers at a long distance.Following the charge of the fifty or so cavalrymen, the peasant rebel army was immediately defeated.

At this time, there were not many cavalry in the battalion and siege troops, so it was too late to mobilize troops to stop the Runing army.The defeated army in the small town and the peasant rebel army also fled desperately towards the camp.Because they didn't understand the actual situation, and those routs made a big fuss, the entire battalion broke into an inexplicable panic.

Gao Yingxiang didn't care about attacking the city at this time.He immediately withdrew all the attacking troops.And concentrated the army, turned to meet the reinforcements with only more than 500 people.

But as soon as they saw the main force of the camp coming, the soldiers of the Guide Army turned around and ran away. Before the camp could react, they had already returned to the fortress of Qianhusuo.This attack is over.

This attack was completely beyond the expectations of the camp, so only one person in the Guided Army was seriously injured.Seven people were slightly injured.However, more than 700 people were killed or injured when they broke into the camp. The casualty ratio is staggeringly disparate.

But more importantly, this attack completely interrupted a siege of the peasant rebel army, giving the defensive soldiers in Ningling County a chance to breathe.

So Gao Yingxiang was furious afterwards, and after sending out the camp leader who led the recruits, he dispatched nearly ten thousand troops.The Qianhusuo Fortress was half surrounded.This also made it impossible for the Runing Army in the fortress of Qianhusuo to leave the fortress to rescue Ningling County.

And Gao Yingxiang also spent a lot of money this time.Although there are now nearly 10 soldiers and horses intruding into the camp, [-] to [-] of the elderly, weak, women and children will be removed, and the partial divisions and guard troops sent out will be removed.Now there are only a little over [-] people who can attack Ningling County.Now nearly [-] soldiers have been deployed to guard the fortress of Qianhusuo, which can be regarded as the pain of this attack.

It can be seen from this: Yu Zilian's taking Yao Liang's militia away has a great influence.If there is a militia group defending Ningling County, Qian Qi can take out a complete infantry regiment, cooperate with some cavalry and artillery to form a basic infantry and artillery formation, and move between Ningling County and Qianhusuo Fortress support.

You must know that the distance between Ningling County and Qianhusuo Fortress is only seven or eight miles, so this formation of cavalry and artillery is very easy to fight against the city.But with the cover of the artillery and firecrackers on the tower, the enemy can only attack from the front of this cavalry artillery formation, so the strength advantage of the peasant rebel army will not be fully utilized.Not to mention that you can concentrate on attacking the city.

But now it's just that this militia group is missing, and it is prudent not to drive the slow-moving artillery team out of the city, so the cavalry formation with only more than 500 people can't get through the traffic between the two cities.

A surprise attack out of the city is okay, but as long as the peasant rebel army is prepared and completely guards the fortress of Qianhusuo, then Ningling County will immediately be in a lonely and helpless situation.

And Gao Yingxiang, who had encountered a change, was also furious. Since he could no longer enter the city tonight, those he simply ordered the refugees to fill up the moats to the south and north of Ningling County while it was dark.They are going to form a siege situation tomorrow that will encircle the city, and rely on the absolute advantage in the number of intruders to conquer Ningling County in one fell swoop.

And this heavy snow also hindered the pace of the Runing Army's reinforcements.At that time, it took Li Lu dozens of Qingqi more than two days to reach Ningling County from the junction of Runing Mansion and Ye County.Apart from the fact that he was a small group of people marching very fast, the main reason was because Li Lu walked in a straight line.

The current route of the Runing Army's rapid march is to detour the hinterland of the Runing Mansion and take an arc to rescue the Guide Mansion. Get entangled.

But the heavy snow now caused the carts of the infantry regiment led by Xue Yong to sink into snow pits from time to time.And Li Sanhe's cavalry corps could only wade in the heavy snow because they were afraid of hurting their horseshoes.The main force of Wu Shigong's Runing Army came to the Runing Army camp after walking for four days because of the heavy artillery.

So if he wanted to keep Ningling County, Qian Qi still had to hold on for two days. (To be continued..)
