    The siege was still continuing, with overwhelming arrows shooting down the city. The soldiers at the front carrying the ladders fell down after being hit by arrows, but soon the soldiers behind them continued to carry the ladders under the orders of junior officers.  Rush forward.

    The arrowheads of the Qing army were long, heavy, and very powerful. Once they hit the human body, they would inevitably penetrate into the body. The only drawback was that the range was not far enough, only fifty or sixty steps away.  But this shortcoming has been greatly enhanced today. Standing on the city wall more than seven feet high, shooting arrowheads with a projectile technique, the range can reach as much as a hundred steps, which also made the soldiers of Jinzhou suffer enough  .

    Seeing a famous soldier fall in the rain of arrows, the two brothers Zu Dalue and Zu Dachong who were directing the battle were anxious and quickly urged the riflemen behind them to come over and provide them with cover.

    These things are very long-winded to describe, but in fact they only took less than a quarter of an hour.  Soon, a battalion of riflemen sent by Li Yuan arrived more than 150 steps away from the city. They divided into two groups and lined up, with their guns pointed at the city wall.

    A thousand president held a machete and gritted his teeth and drank loudly: "The Sixth Brigade listened to the order, raised the gun  fire!"

    "Bang bang bang"

    There was a dull sound of gunfire, and countless lead bullets as big as a little finger flew out of the gun barrel and shot towards the city wall.

    ¡°Puff, puff, puffpah pah pah"

    The sound of lead bullets entering the body and the sound of lead bullets hitting the city wall were heard together. Along with the screams of the soldiers on the city wall, they formed a series of miserable screams.

    Seeing the warriors of the clan being hit by cheap lead bullets and falling to the ground, Zhengbaiqi Gushan'e Zhenbayan begged Dorgon: "Prince Rui. What should I do? Those Han people's firearms are too powerful.  Sorry, our warriors have suffered too many casualties. We cannot afford such casualties if this continues."

    Dorgon said solemnly: "Why are you panicking? Most of the people on the city wall are from Zhenglan Banner. There are very few people from Zhengbai and Xiangbai Banners. No matter how big the casualties are, it's still the fault of Zhenglan Banner. What the hell are you doing?"  What kind of heart do you have, go back and tell the minions below to be smarter, those lead bullets don¡¯t have long eyes. Don¡¯t get touched.¡±

    The protection of Fusheng Gate has always been the responsibility of Hauge's Zhenglan Banner. Although the main attack direction of the Dahua Army is Fusheng Gate, each banner also sent some reinforcements to help defend, but the Zhenglan Banner is still the main force. At this moment  Most of the casualties were from the Zhenglan Banner, and it was Dorgon who said the above words.

    "Cha!"

    Bayan lowered his head and went down, leaving Dorgon behind the crenellations to observe the battle through the gaps in the parapet.

    Dorgon watched the battle for a while.  He then looked towards Haug who was directing the soldiers to fight back not far away, and sneered secretly in his heart. This Haug was so stupid. In such a situation, they were still forcing the soldiers to stick their bodies out of the female wall to fight back. Didn't he know?  How sharp is the opponent's musket?  Anyway, just let yourself see it.  How many warrior lives can he squander with his Zhenglan Banner?

    At this time, Hauge was already in disarray. Although Hauge was arrogant and brave, he was not actually a decisive person. Otherwise, in another time and space, he would not have obtained Shangsanqi and Dai after the death of Huang Taiji.  Despite his good support, he still lost to Dorgon and Xiaozhuang.  Let Fulin, a child less than eight years old, ascend the throne.

    At this moment, Haug saw that the opponent's fire blunderbuss could suppress the archers at the top of the city from such a distance, and he suddenly panicked.  The archers could only be ordered to continuously lean out of the crenels and shoot arrows, but the cost of doing so was that warriors were constantly being killed by lead bullets flying from a distance.

    "Quick, stand next to the crenel and shoot out arrows. You slaves who are afraid of death, hurry up and get over."

    On the city wall, Haug led a dozen Goshihars and patrolled around with a leather whip. When they saw the timid archers squatting under the crenellations, they whipped them down without saying a word.

    The riding whip mixed with human hair, ponytail and copper wire was very painful when it hit the soldiers' heads and faces. Several soldiers fainted because of the severe pain.

    ¡°Pah¡­¡± Haug cursed as a whip struck an archer.

    "Hurry up, you useless slave. Why don't you shoot your arrow quickly? Do you want to wait for those Han people to come and chop off your head?"

    "Cha!"

    The whipped archer boldly leaned out of the crenel under Haug's order. He just opened his bow and nocked an arrow, but before he could fire it, several lead bullets flew from a distance and hit him with a lead bullet.  At the city bricks at the entrance of the crenellations, tiny stones flew everywhere, and a few small stones hit Haug's face. Haug was so frightened that he crouched down to avoid the lead bullets.

    As soon as Hauge squatted down, a heavy figure hit him hard.When it reached his body, a hot and bloody liquid also flowed down his neck. Haug knew that it was human blood without even looking.

    "You bastard, get out of the way! Isn't it okay if you get a little injured?"

    Hauge angrily pushed the person lying on him away, but unexpectedly, the person fell to the ground without saying a word.  Hauge took a look and found that the person lying on him was the soldier who had been whipped by him just now. However, at this time, a lead bullet had taken off his Tianling Cap, revealing half of his head. The blood that had just flowed onto Hauge's neck was revealed.  The liquid was his white brain.

    "Welluh"

    Rao Shi Hauge was proud of his bravery and had experienced many battles, but after seeing such a cruel thing, he couldn't help but squat on the ground and vomited.

    The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing were mixed together on the battlefield. After nearly two quarters of an hour of charge, the Liaodong soldiers gradually approached the city wall under the cover of the riflemen behind them.

    "Bang!" With a crashing sound, the first ladder finally climbed up the city wall with the efforts of dozens of soldiers, and the iron frame with hooks also firmly grasped the wall bricks.

    "Come on!"

    Seeing that the ladder was successfully erected, a team leader who had been waiting impatiently below impatiently climbed up with a shield in his left hand and a steel knife in his mouth.

    "Okay! Go up, who is this guy? Go back and give him credit!"

    Zu Dale, who was holding a telescope behind the formation to observe every move in front of him, laughed happily. Although he was not at all sure whether the corps leader could successfully climb to the top of the city, this was a good start after all. As long as  If you have the first one, are you still worried about not having the second, third, or even the third hundred?

    The generals of the Qing army who were guarding the city also saw that the Chinese army had begun to climb the city wall. Stones, rolling logs and other objects also swarmed down and smashed them down, smashing the heads of the soldiers under the city wall and bleeding.

    But the consequences of leaning out of the crenel to hit things were also serious. In the process, many Qing soldiers were hit by lead bullets flying from below and screamed and fell off the city wall.

    Although there is no term "fire suppression" at this time, this does not prevent the self-taught Dahua riflemen from using the Mini rifles in their hands flexibly.  The mini rifle's ultra-long range and accurate accuracy also give it new uses.

    Under the precision strikes of the riflemen, the Qing soldiers at the top of the city suffered heavy casualties. The remaining Qing soldiers no longer dared to show their heads at will. Even those who barely showed their heads to shoot arrows or throw stones at the orders of the officers were just  Throwing things out reluctantly.

    The arrows and stones thrown or shot randomly in this way are not accurate at all, let alone the accuracy.

    War always ebbs and flows, and the counterattack force at the top of the city weakens, which naturally gives the attacking side more opportunities. More ladders are set up at the top of the city, and more and more soldiers climb up.  Go up.

    Seeing that the situation was urgent, Hauge, who was covered in blood, did not bother to scold the people around him. He drew out the long knife from his waist and roared, then rushed towards the city wall and chopped down a soldier who had just jumped down from the crenel.  Fall to the ground.

    After cutting down the soldier, Hauge yelled, "We, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, behind us is Shengjing, the capital of our Qing Dynasty. We must not let those despicable Nikans step into our Shengjing."  If you take half a step, everyone will kill you!"

    After saying that, Hauge rushed over to the other side regardless of his own safety. There, just as a Dahua soldier jumped down, he cut down a Qing soldier to the ground

    Dorgon, who was hiding in the city gate tower and watching the excitement, had already clearly seen everything on the city wall. After seeing Hauge's actions, he just snorted coldly and whispered: "This reckless man has a few  Share the blood."

    After saying that, he whispered to Gushan Ezhen Bayan on the side: "Bayan, you take a thousand warriors from the clan and quickly increase the number of Hauge. If the men and horses of Zhenglan Banner are over-depleted, Fu Sheng will  It will be difficult to guard the door."

    As a confidant of Dorgon, Bayan knew that although Duo Regun was happy to see the power of the Zhenglan Banner weakened, he never wanted to see the Zhenglan Banner consumed completely. After all, the Eight Banners were the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.  Zhan Xianglan and Xianghongqi were almost crippled, and Daishan and Azig were so sad that they almost grew old overnight. After all, there was nothing they could do.  But if Zhenglan Banner also suffers too many casualties, it will be in trouble when Dorgon takes power in the future.

    Thinking of this, Bayan responded in a low voice: "Cha!" and went down with a thousand warriors of Zhengbai Banner.

    Many Eight Banners leaders were paying the same attention as Dorgon. Seeing that Zhenglan Banner was in a bitter battle, they were also afraid that Zhenglan Banner's strength would weaken too much, so they all sent more or less banners.  The soldiers from the army came to help.

    Only the blue flag and the red flag were almost disabled in the previous battle, so they were not sent.?Come here.

    As time went by, the war became more and more fierce. Because Dahua's firearms were too sharp, almost all the Qing troops who dared to stick their heads out of the city wall died. Therefore, the Qing troops simply stood inside the city wall and waited for Dahua's attack.  The soldiers climbed into the city wall, and they waited inside the inner wall.

    For a time, the war fell into a stalemate

    ps: Damn it, you can¡¯t afford to be hurt by a double-opened one, no, no, no!
