The various defensive measures in Fengyang Fucheng are very complete.

Liu Guangzhi and Wei Liangchen repeatedly inspected and confirmed, and then they felt a little relieved.

In the siege battle, the siege side is the one who takes the initiative.

When to attack and how to attack are all led by the siege party.

The defending side can only deal with moves and adjust according to the changes of the attacking side.

Of course, Liu Guangzhi didn't think he could easily defend Fengyang, but he was also prepared for a fierce battle, and he had to withstand even after fighting for half a month or a month.

After all, the Ming army was very strict with the Han ministers who surrendered to the Qing court. Hong Chengchou was the precedent, so Liu Guangzhi would not surrender no matter what.

Li Laiheng seemed to have anticipated this, so he did not immediately order an attack.

It was not until the tunnel was dug and the coffin was stuffed in that he was ready to launch a tentative attack.

Everything was ready, and the moment the soldiers lit the lead, all the Ming soldiers held their breath.

According to their expectations, the walls of Fengyang City should be blown down with a loud bang, and at the least it should be tilted to a certain extent.

This will be extremely beneficial to the Ming army's tough battle and can greatly reduce the casualties of Ming soldiers.

After all, these are all veterans of the Thirteen Kuidong families, one less dead.

Li Laiheng also hopes to win this battle at the lowest cost.

But the imagined explosion did not happen, it seemed to be very similar to the last time the gunpowder was damp!

But these days have been sunny, and there are no signs of rain at all!

Li Laiheng was stunned.

What's going on?

"Little Tiger, can the Tartars do anything wrong?"

Yuan Zongdi said with a frown.

"After all, we have used this tactic many times, and it is very likely that the Tartars will target it."

"Um..."

Li Laiheng was in a very heavy mood.

Yuan Zongdi said it right. The tactic of bombing the city in the coffin can be said to be an obvious tactic for the Ming army.

The Ming card is here, so there is no need to be concealed.

In this case, it is reasonable for the other party to make some arrangements for this tactic.

Fortunately, when Liu Xingming sent a scout to investigate the surrounding environment of Fengyang Mansion City, he discovered some high ground. The artillery was mounted on it and it was helpful to bombard the city head.

If the east is not bright, the west is bright, you can always find a way to suppress the Qing army.

Li Laiheng didn't plan to wait any longer, so he cleared his throat and said, "Send the order, the gunner will set off the cannon!"

With the order of Li Laiheng, the Ming army gunners who had already prepared were ready, and shot the shells at the top of Fengyang City.

Dozens of shells hit the head of Fengyang City, and the formation alone scared the Qing army to death.

"Liu Fuzun, go away!"

When Wei Liangchen saw a shell flying towards him, he shouted loudly and then threw Liu Guangzhi into a deep pounce.

Before Liu Guangzhi could realize what was going on, he was thrown to the ground by Wei Liangchen, and then rolled for several rounds before stopping.

He ate a mouthful of dirt and his official hat was thrown off, and he was in a very embarrassed state.

If Wei Liangchen was not the one who beat him, he would have cursed.

But because it was Wei Liangchen, he could only swallow the curses.

"Hiss, I didn't expect Mingzhe's artillery to be so powerful."

He originally thought that the Ming army's artillery was just a strong momentum and would not have any substantial effect.

But now it seems that this is simply a weapon to break the city.

Just now, hundreds of Qing soldiers were killed by these dozens of artillery shells, not to mention injured.

Even Liu Guangzhi was almost hit by shells.

If the Ming army's artillery shells were infinite, then the Qing army at the top of Fengyang City could be blown up by firing cannons alone.

Of course, this is impossible.

It is impossible for the Ming army to set off endless firecrackers.

If Liu Guangzhi had expected it well, the Ming army would start the charge next!

Sure enough, just after a round of artillery fire, the Ming army's war drums rang out.

Along with the low horn statement army launched a fierce offensive.

They surrounded Fengyang City from all directions, carrying a row of ladders and bumping wood in their hands, obviously coming with preparation.

The Qing army had just been bombarded by artillery fire, but did not react at the first time.

By the time they realized it, the Ming army had already rushed to the city wall.

There are moats and plum blossom piles in front of the city wall.

The Ming army first needed to avoid these plum blossom stakes.

This is not an easy task, because the arrangement of these plum blossom piles is very particular, and it can even be said to be tricky.

Usually, you have to remove these obstacles in advance.

Now there is definitely no time to remove it, so I can only walk around.

This gave the Qing army time to react. They gradually stabilized their positions and placed the fortifications in front of the cliff.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows, don't give the Ming thief a chance to rush forward!"

Wei Liangchen seemed very nervous.

He knew very well that the positional warfare of the Ming army was very sharp, so he wanted to fight the Ming army but had not yet established a firm foothold.

The two sides formed a tough battle, and the Qing army general had no advantage.

"Why are you still standing there? Ejaculate me. Don't let a thief go!"

The moat was not too wide, and the Ming army carried sandbags. As long as the Ming army was given time, they could fill the trench in the shortest time.

The number of Qing troops played a decisive role at this time.

For a moment, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the Ming vanguard army, who lacked protection, was exposed to the rain of arrows.

The arrow rained like a waterfall, pouring the Ming army into a cool heart.

Although the Ming army's armor protection was relatively in place, it was obviously a little weak under the rain of arrows of this intensity.

Accompanied by screams, Ming soldiers fell to the ground from time to time.

"Don't worry about me, rush forward!"

"I'm dead, you can do it for me!"

"Supply, make up for me!"

None of the soldiers in Kuidong are cowards, and they are already very satisfied to be able to reach this day.

Seeing that he could take down Zhongdu Fengyang, no one would give up at this time.

As for dead people, war will always kill people.

The key is whether the dead are worth it or not.

If the people of Fengyang Prefecture can be rescued and saved from the ravages of the Tartars, they think it is worth it.

As for personal life and death, they have long been indifferent to it, and they will be another hero twenty years later!

"Lao Liu, I'm dead and take good care of my mother for me!"

"Kill the Tartars, and break through Fengyang, you will be the Tartars' blood debt and repay the blood!"

The Ming army rushed into the trench without fear of death and threw the sandbags in their hands into the trench.

Some of them were shot by arrows and fell into the trench, which could be regarded as indirectly contributing to filling the trench.

The Qing army on the top of the city was stunned.

Oh my god, Ming Thief is really not afraid of death at all.

Is this kind of opponent too scary?

"Why are you still standing there? Shooting me an arrow, waiting for the Ming thief to attack me?"

Wei Liangchen was so angry that he jumped up. These dogs still have time to be stunned here.

The moat is their last cover. If they don’t make good use of it and make losses, how can they fight this battle?
