Zhao Gan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was in a very despair.

The combat effectiveness and combat shown by the Ming army are not comparable to that of the Qing army.

Even though Zhao Gan had already shouted, the Qing army was still the disadvantaged side in the duel.

That is, they have the advantage of a strong city, otherwise they would have nothing to do with this battle.

In desperation, Zhao Gan ordered the military and legal team to step forward and stand behind the warriors.

Once someone retreats and fles, the officers and soldiers of the military and legal team will kill him without hesitation.

Only in this way can the morale of the army be maintained and this battle can be fought.

At this point, Zhao Gan knew very well that this battle must be won. If Li Laiheng led his troops into the city, he would definitely end up with the fall of the head.

Rather than doing this, he might as well let a group of Qing soldiers bury him.

Of course, Zhao Gan felt very regretful at this moment.

If he hadn't had any fantasies about Li Laiheng at the beginning and tried his best to defend the city, the situation would have been much better than it is now.

Although I have to try my best to defend, at least I will not be as embarrassed as I am now.

But now that things have come to this point, I can only grit my teeth and persevere.

The Ming army's rapid attacks were like a tide.

All the Qing soldiers used the methods of defending the city, but they could only barely block them.

But the situation seems completely different to Hao Yaoqi.

The Qing soldiers were anxious, and he was even more anxious.

In the final analysis, it is because Hao Yaoqi has not fought any serious battles in the past two years.

Of course, this is not Hao Yaoqi's personal reason, because the rear of the battle also needs to be stationed by the army. Hao Yaoqi is the one who led his troops to garrison.

Hao Yaoqi has been holding it in for so long and finally got a chance to prove himself, so he naturally won't miss it.

In his opinion, the head of the Qing army was the best military merit.

But why did I still fail to open up after playing for so long?

This is very different from what Hao Yaoqi expected.

The more you drag it, the more unfavorable it will be for the Ming army and the more unfavorable it will be for Hao Yaoqi.

In desperation, Hao Yaoqi decided to sacrifice the imperial gift from His Majesty - the earth grenade.

Although this thing is not as powerful as a cannon, it is still quite powerful in the crowd.

But because it was too expensive, the Kui Dong Army was reluctant to take it out and use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now is a critical moment.

If the situation is not opened for a long time, the number of soldiers killed and injured will increase sharply.

This is not what Hao Yaoqi wants to see.

After all, this vanguard army is his subordinate.

Every soldier is his flesh, and one less dies.

If the veteran dies and then summons new recruits, it will take a year or two for training alone, and it cannot guarantee that they will have high combat effectiveness immediately.

There is only one way to help new recruits grow and gain combat effectiveness, that is, to let them see blood.

With one or two years of practical training experience, it will take at least two or three years to train a new recruit into a veteran.

This time cost is too high.

Hao Yaoqi can't afford to wait.

So he wants to minimize his losses as much as possible.

With Hao Yaoqi's order, the Ming army soldiers threw the earthen grenades at the Qing army at the top of the city.

The Qing soldiers did not react at all, and then the huge explosion shocked them to the point of breaking their hearts.

The Qing soldiers had broken limbs and broken arms scattered all over the ground, and pain and wailing sounds came one after another.

From the performance of the Qing soldiers, it can be seen that they were not prepared for this.

Hao Yaoqi was very proud of this and did not feel any surprise.

After all, they used the earth grenade for the first time after they arrived in the north.

Even though these Qing soldiers heard some descriptions of local grenades from the previous storm, it was better to see them after all.

What you hear and see are completely different.

The Ming army seized this opportunity, putting the Qing army on the verge of collapse.

This rare opportunity allowed the Ming army to seize it quickly and compete for control of the city at the fastest speed.

The Qing soldiers were still in panic, and many vanguard soldiers of the Ming army had already rushed to the top of the city.

This time they had an absolute advantage and would never be driven down by the Qing soldiers again.

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"For the Ming Dynasty, for Your Majesty!"

With shouts and killing, the Ming soldiers on the city were gathering more and more. Zhao Gan's scalp was about to explode when he saw this.

Why did the Ming army suddenly attack the city? This is not about martial ethics?

If you have the ability, both sides will have a dignified showdown, don’t do these tricks.

"If you push it, you will push it to the general. Those who retreat will die!"

Zhao Gan's eyes were already red. He drew his sword and roared angrily at the top of his lungs.

He really didn't expect the Qing army to collapse so quickly.

The soldiers of the military and legal team were also panicked. They had never seen such a large-scale escape, and they could not even kill the defeated soldiers to stop the defeat.

If this continues, it will be really irreversible.

"Maybe we can try explosives."

He suggested to Zhao Gan.

Although the Qing army did not have the Ming army's local grenades, there was still a lot of explosives.

The power of explosives will not be too bad. Besides, the Qing army now treats dead horses as living horses, and even if the effect is not good, there is nothing to say.

Zhao Gan understood this truth after thinking about it carefully, nodded and said, "Just do it like this."

The personal soldiers hurriedly took the explosives and wrapped them in paper to throw them into the area where the Ming army gathered.

There is no need to ignite it, because it has long been burned by earth grenades.

In an instant, the explosives ignited, and although the power was not as powerful as the earth grenade, it also prevented the Ming army from advancing to a considerable extent.

Zhao Gan was overjoyed and thought to himself that the killing weapon that the Ming army had always used to bomb the city walls was so effective. He had known that he should have used it from the beginning.

Why was the situation of the Qing army so difficult earlier?

Of course it's not too late to use it now.

As long as the momentum of the Ming army can be suppressed, it is equivalent to returning to the starting point.

"Continue to throw explosives, don't stop."

Zhao Gan tasted the sweetness and shouted loudly.

The Qing soldiers used explosives as life-saving straws and threw them spontaneously without Zhao Gan's order.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Zhao Gan is proud of this, but Hao Yaoqi has a headache over there.

It was almost impossible to take control of the city head, but at this time the Qing army used the life-threatening tactic of throwing explosives.

The explosives are not recognized. When the Ming soldiers are injured and killed, it is likely that the Qing soldiers will be injured.

But Zhao Gan obviously doesn't plan to take these into consideration now.

He wanted to razed the area where the Ming army gathered to the ground.

Hao Yaoqi was so angry that he felt itchy. If he continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If the Ming army's momentum is leaked, I don't know how much effort it will take to get together again.

"Continue to throw grenades and push the momentum of the enemy soldiers over!"

Originally, Hao Yaoqi was thinking about saving some things, but now he has no idea at all.

This breath must not be released.

For a time, the two sides formed a situation of opposition and explosion. It was not artillery, but earth grenades and explosive packs.

Both sides gritted their teeth and regarded control of the city as a top priority.
