Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 531 The Battle of Tongguan (6)

Zhu Yousong used "Niu Bing" to set up a ecstasy formation for Li Zicheng.

This ecstasy formation is quite deceptive. For three nights in a row, Zhu Yousong used [-] oxen to charge, while the soldiers behind him just waved their flags and shouted, bluffing.On the fourth day at the same time, Zhu Yousong charged with [-] oxen, but [-] soldiers of the Ming army were dispatched shortly thereafter, rushing towards Tongguan City like mountains and seas under the night.

The Ming army has been tossed crazy. Tonight they can't tell the truth from the truth. They think that the pork floss is still used in the same old way. It's okay to toss with thousands of cows. Every night, people accompany the cows to toss for a night. Who can bear it for several days in a row? ?

Therefore, not to mention the soldiers, the officials are numb.

In order not to be fools, they were fooled by Zhu Yousong for nothing.Now that they have grown their minds, they don't plan to deal with these bulls anymore. They won't shoot their bows and arrows until they see the Ming army. The Dashun army on the top of the city also thinks the same way, and they won't shoot unless they see the Ming army.

Who would have guessed that this time I was fooled!

A thousand mad bulls quickly broke through the defense line of a hundred fortresses, but they didn't know that the [-] Ming troops behind the herd also roared in. After seeing these Dashun soldiers in the fortress clearly, they felt that they had been fooled. Now, hurry up and prepare the crossbow arrows to shoot out.

However, it was too late. The soldiers of the Ming army, who had been suppressed for several days, howled and charged, and passed away like a gust of wind. The crossbow arrows caused very little casualties to them.

After a few hundred meters past these fortresses, these magnificent projects that Li Zicheng built at a huge cost and cost a lot of money have become the ears of the deaf.

Tonight, the thousand-headed oxen acted as the vanguard. After rushing through the fortress, they soon arrived near the moat.

The red-clothed cannon on the top of the city unexpectedly did not roar tonight, because the Dashun Army on the top of the city had the same thinking as the Dashun Army in the fort ten miles away, and they also thought that what Zhu Yousong prepared for them tonight The content of the program is the same as that of the previous three days.

When the generals of the Dashun Army on the top of the city saw the soldiers of the Ming Army behind the cows rushing forward, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, I don’t know how many there were, and the famous generals of the Ming Army in front could see their faces. Call fooled.

The top of Tongguan City was in chaos for a while, the commander of the artillery battalion clamored to light the cannons, and the other soldiers were busy preparing bows and arrows, rolling logs, and stones.

Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu and others saw the ferocious approach of the Ming army, and knew that Zhu Yousong was serious this time, so they hurriedly reported to Li Zicheng, sent people to transfer the resting soldiers in the city, and hurried up to defend the city.

At this time, the cannon at the top of the city rang out, and a shell shot out of the air, but only a small part of it exploded in the ranks of the Ming army, and most of the shells fell behind the Ming army's buttocks, which did not have much effect. It just blew up a lot of deep holes on the ground.

At this time, the charging cattle scattered when they reached the moat. Their buttocks were sore. Maybe it was dark and they couldn't see clearly. They jumped into the moat like dumplings, and then swam away.

Some fled along the moat. After the herds of cattle dispersed, the Ming army rushed to the side of the moat. No matter how wide or deep the moat was, it could not stop the charge of [-] troops.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the water was not too cold even though it was night, so those who knew how to swim would swim down with their knives and guns.

Those who don't know how to water tie up ladders and other things together, put them together several times, and lay them across the moat, and quickly make several simple bridges. After crossing the moat, the archers shot arrows towards the top of the city. Under the cover of the archers, the dead men who climbed the city set up a ladder and rushed up.

Just after taking a few steps, a stone hit the top of the head, and the dead man fell down the ladder, his brain burst, and he became a real dead man.

However, the tragic death has long been ignored by these generals. Immediately after his death, several dead soldiers climbed up the ladder and climbed up as fast as possible.When they were about to climb to the top of the city, the ladder broke suddenly, and the soldiers of the Ming army fell down like pearls with broken strings.

At this time, rolling logs began to be lowered from the top of the city, and large logs of thick and thin arms rolled down from the top of the city, and the soldiers of the Ming army who could not escape were crushed into flesh.

Half an hour later, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, retreated like a tide, and the first charge failed.

After a short rest for about half an hour, the Ming army launched a second onslaught, and then a third.After three consecutive onslaughts, it was dawn, and they failed to attack the top of Tongguan city.

It was dawn at this time, and there were dead bodies everywhere in the city above and below the city. In addition to human corpses, there were also cattle corpses.The water in the moat was stained red with blood, but the moat has basically been filled in these three assaults.

All the 4 Dashun troops in the city went to the city to fight, and Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying personally went to the city to command and kill the enemy.

After Zhu Yousong got the report, he was also secretly surprised that his clever plan was not bad. Li Zicheng and the others were not taken lightly. I heard that they had been exhausted for the past few days, but they couldn't take Tongguan in one fell swoop. It seems that Tongguan It is indeed a strong city among strong cities.

But today we must not give up halfway and waste all previous efforts.If the siege fails today, it will give Li Zicheng and the others a chance to breathe, and it will be even more difficult and costly to attack the city again.

Therefore, he issued a death order to the [-] soldiers. Tongguan must be captured today.

When the sun was just rising, the Ming army launched a fourth attack on Tongguan.

At this time, the defensive objects such as rolling wood, bows, arrows and stones on the top of the city were exhausted. All the houses in the city that could be demolished were demolished, and all the trees that could be felled were cut down.

At this time, Li Zicheng could only make an order to defend the city to the death and never allow the Ming army to attack!
However, this time, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Zhang Huan, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong, etc., all of these brains and brains took the lead and entered the battle first.

The morale of the Ming army was at an all-time high, and they reached under the city wall with one charge, erected a ladder, and climbed up.

Zhang Huan also rushed to the bottom of the city, he shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, all the arrows were shot, and more than a dozen generals of the Dashun army on the top of the city were hit by arrows one after another, and they fell down from the top of the city.

Under the cover of Zhang Huan, the soldiers of the Ming army rushed to the top of the city along the ladder, but as soon as these generals rushed to the top of the city, they were killed by the soldiers of the Ming army and thrown to the bottom of the city.

As soon as some soldiers of the Ming army climbed to the crenel on the city, the ladder was overturned by the Dashun army at the top of the city and fell into meatloaf.

Now Zhang Huan, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Li Quan, Liu Chunhong and others started climbing the ladder by themselves.

Like little tigers, they quickly reached the crenel. The Dashun army greeted them with their swords and guns. They used their swords and spears to stand between them. He Xuanjiao stomped his feet and fell to the ground. on the city.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Dashun Army yelled and surrounded her. As soon as she turned around, the dozen or so soldiers of the Dashun Army fell down.

At this time, Li Quan also reached the stomping place with a knife in his hand, and a Dashun soldier stabbed at him with a spear in his hand.Li Quan turned aside to get past the spearhead, grabbed the spear shaft, and yanked it down. With this force, he jumped up to the city with a light leap, and the Dashun army general who was wielding the spear was pulled Unable to hold back his body, he fell to the top of the wall.

Several Dashun generals came towards Li Quanwei. Li Quanlun opened his sword and fought with them, knocking down four or five Dashun generals.

Under the cover of He Xuanjiao and Li Quan, Ma Jinhua, Liu Chunhong, Zhang Huan, etc., more and more soldiers of the Ming army killed the top of the wall, and it was impossible for the soldiers of the Dashun Army to drive them off the wall.

The two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat on the top of the city.
