Chapter 104 Changli is in danger

At this time, outside the city, Jianlu finally approached the city wall and stopped at the edge of the original moat after paying about one-tenth of the cost. Behind the carriage, all the Jianlu archers came out and started shooting arrows at the top of the city in an attempt to suppress the top of the city.

As for the Jianlu cavalry that originally played a diversionary role, they finally retreated after suffering casualties.

On the top of the city, the Ming army's artillery was unable to cause damage to the prisoners on this side of the moat. In fact, this place is already a blind spot for the Hongyi artillery and the general artillery. However, the target of the cannon at this time was not them, but the slow-moving ladder truck. There are still a few artillery pieces taking care of a ladder truck, and there are "boom" sounds one after another. Each round can almost wipe out one ladder truck, but it is a pity that the speed of the shelling is really slow.

The Ming army guards at the top of the city had high morale and were not afraid of the numerous Jianlu under the city. They often stretched their heads to look for Jianlu first, and then took aim and shot. But if this time is delayed for too long, it will often attract the attention of many Jianlu archers. Unlucky enough, he was shot in the face and fell to the ground. Or maybe this is due to insufficient training, which leads to insufficient mastery of combat skills and a bloody lesson.

Jianlu's arrow rain was mixed with rockets, and there was a continuous "whooshing" sound. Some were shot directly, some were thrown, some landed on the top of the city, and some shot over the city wall and into the city.

There are groups of soldiers in the city, most of them are issued with shields, and they are busy extinguishing the fires caused by the rockets in the city. Occasionally, if you are not careful, you will be hit by an arrow and become one of the injured and stroke.

There are also some soldiers who are just inside the city wall, constantly going back and forth to the top of the city, carrying injured or dead soldiers down from the top of the city, and then other comrades help, and they are quickly sent to distant places for treatment. This measure was not available yesterday.

Cries of death, screams, gunfire, gunshots, smoke, blood splattering, severed limbs and remains formed a picture of an ancient battlefield.

Hu Guang looked at all this. He didn't feel uncomfortable like ordinary people, or even vomited. He didn't. Instead, he felt the blood boiling in his body, wishing he could become one of them and fight the enemy bravely!

At this time, he stood on the archery tower and watched the formation, watching Jianlu's offensive, thinking about what measures he would take if he were Man Gui, how to counterattack, etc.

He didn't just talk about the imperial commander's personal expedition. In his heart, he just wanted to personally destroy the Jianlu and regain the mountains and rivers of Liaodong.

Jianlu's simple ladders were the first to attack the city. As soon as these simple ladders reached the city wall, they were pulled back until the hooks at the top hooked the battlements, and then Jianlu climbed up the ladder quickly.

If this kind of ladder is used in Changli's way, it will obviously not be able to be pushed away simply by relying on the support pole. However, Hu Guangneng could see that under the command of Mangui Jiading, racks of spiked swatters were quickly hung on the top of the ladder. Several soldiers worked together to hoist the spiked swatters and slap them down hard.

Hu Guang, who was on the arrow tower, couldn't see underneath, but he could see that when the wolf fang slap was pulled up, there were blood stains on the spikes.

On the side of Langya Pai, there were also soldiers working together to throw rolling logs and rocks down the ladder in the direction of the ladder.

Hu Guang looked at all this and finally understood something in his heart: In ancient sieges, human lives were sacrificed. Without a force several times that of the defenders, it would be difficult to encircle and attack it.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hu Guang suddenly remembered Changli. I wonder if the battle of Changli is over?

With this in mind, he entered the chat group, clicked on Liu Wang's icon and asked: "Liu Wang, how is Changli?"

In fact, when he saw that there was no message from Wang Liu, he felt a little worried.

"The county magistrate has issued an order, and the women of the common people are going to the city..." Mrs. Liu Wang replied, but then stopped, obviously she didn't care to talk anymore.

When Hu Guang heard this, he was relieved at first. At least Changli had not been breached yet. Then he immediately became worried. Even strong women like Liu Wang were sent to the top of the city. It seemed that there were no young people available. Changli was in danger!

Just as he thought, everyone was fighting to the last breath in the battle of Changli.

Changli could not be captured for a long time. Even if there were Jurchen prisoners behind to supervise the battle, there were still many Mongolian Tatars and Han slaves who were afraid to move forward, but Azig sent people to watch and force them to the top of the city.

Some of the Jurchen Tatars who were resting at the rear also began to attack the city. Almost all the Jurchen Tatars focused their attention on the head of Changli City.

Li Shiqi in the arrow tower has already gone down to kill the enemy himself. Even one of the two Yamen guards who guarded Zuo Yingxuan was sent out, leaving only Liu Yamen to protect the county magistrate.

Zuo Yingxuan's face was very serious. He looked back several times to look at the shells piled behind him, but in the end he did not give an order and still looked back at the battle situation at the top of the city.

Before, he might have had a bit of luck, maybe he was told by Liu Wang and reinforcements would come to rescue Changli. But at this time, he no longer had any thoughts in his mind, only the battle situation in front of him.

When he saw that there were Jurchen Tatars outside the city who were also approaching the city to attack, he knew that the time had come to finally decide his fate. At this time, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Liu Yamen: "Prepare to use explosive bullets!"

He had endured it for a long time in order to take care of the Jurchen Tatars with the bombs.

Outside the city, Azig looked at the several Mongolian tribal leaders who had retreated to rest after a hard fight, and sneered: "You should watch out, watch as I, the Golden Warrior, rush to the top of Changli City!"

The leaders of the Mongolian Tatars nodded quickly and flattered him one after another, but they felt contempt in their hearts. If your own tribe hadn't sacrificed their lives to destroy the city first, would you dare to say such a thing?

Azig was confident in this attack. He was used to fighting. He could probably estimate in his mind how much defense he still had against Changli City. Therefore, among the Jurchen Tatars sent this time, there were half of the Baya soldiers in his hands. He had reason to believe that with Dajin's most elite Baya La soldiers, they would be able to attack the city.

At this time, I saw a probing horse galloping from the northwest. When they arrived, they rolled their saddles and fell off their horses. They beat them down one by one. They breathed white air and said: "Master, the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan did not collect many at night. I suspect that there is a large army dispatched." .The slave is incompetent and cannot explore further!"

Generally speaking, the Ming army would not dare to fight against Dajin Tanma if they did not stop at night, and would run away from a distance. Now Tan Ma actually said that no further exploration was possible, and it seemed that no prisoners were captured. This shows that there is indeed something strange in the Ming army.

With this in mind, Azig sent a group of Baya soldiers to find out the movements of the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan. After all, the only army that Dai Jin cares about is the Guan Ning Army.

Not long after setting up, Azig saw a scout horse galloping from the southeast, "Master, we found an army of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, coming here under the banner of the prefect of Daming Prefecture!"
