Don't say that these Tartars were crude. In fact, each of them was more cunning than the other! Of course, being cunning wasn't scary. What was scary was that not only were they cunning, they were also knowledgeable, ambitious, and had great political strategies. That was what was scary. That was to conquer the world!
Bo Yun had a card up his sleeve and was overjoyed. He ordered to roast a whole goat to entertain Mighty Rabbit. His own appetite was also increased. The two of them actually ate a big yellow goat.
From the second day onwards, the Ming Army guarding the city realized that the rebel army suddenly became a little rogue when attacking the city. As for how rogue, it could be said that as they fought, they would run back. As they fought, they would run back. Once they entered the firing range of the Ming Army's cannons, the Ming Army would start firing and the rebel army would run back. Quite a number of cavalry also joined in. They ran all over the battlefield, not afraid of being hit by lead.
After a few times, the Ming Army felt that something was wrong and stopped firing cannons. They waited to see what the rebel army wanted to do. In the end, the rebel army probed and saw that the Ming Army did not fire cannons. They actually charged straight over to attack the city. The Ming Army immediately fired arrows. After killing a ground full of rebel soldiers, they ran back. There was no need for the main camp to sound the gong.
Not only was it like this in the west city, but it was also the same in the north, south, and east city. The rebel army surrounded the city on all four sides and pretended to attack. They did not actually attack the city. The soldiers of the Ming Army were puzzled.
In the end, very quickly, a new order was given. The officers ordered the cannoneers and soldiers to fire a limited number of cannons and guns. Furthermore, the number would decrease day by day. On the fourth day, there was no more cannons or guns. They directly returned to the era of cold weapons. This made the cannoneers and soldiers very puzzled. The gunpowder in the arsenal was piled up like a mountain. Why did they stop firing? What good weapons were they?
The soldiers were forcibly ordered to withdraw from the city wall. The cannoneers were also ordered to leave the city wall. The city wall was handed over to the archers and rolling stones.
Mighty Rabbit and Bo Yun, who were observing the Ming Army's battle every day, were overjoyed. Bo Yun was so happy that he immediately flattered Mighty Rabbit, causing Mighty Rabbit to be dizzy. He immediately ordered 1,000 cavalry to dismount and become foot soldiers. He handed them over to Bo Yun to command and attacked the city with his army!
After one morning, Bo Yun and Mighty Rabbit received a report. The Ming Army in the city had transferred some of the troops from the other three city gates, especially the south city. Due to the fact that the south city was tall, there were not many people transferred to defend it. The defending troops had all gathered in the west city to resist the rebel army's attack. Although the rebel army was beaten back many times, their losses were much smaller than before.
The top of the city wall was surrounded by danger. The place where Xiao Ruxun was at was almost broken through by the rebel army. Xiao Ruxun endured the pain and pulled out his sword to fight with the rebel army. At the crucial moment, Yang Caiyun held a long sword in her hand and wore her armor. She brought along three to five maids in armor to ascend the city wall and personally beat the drums to cheer. Once the Ming Army saw that the General's wife had personally ascended the city wall to beat the drums to cheer, their morale was greatly boosted. They fought back vigorously and chased the rebel army off the top of the city wall.
"Caiyun, why did you go up the city wall? Do you know how dangerous it is? "
Xiao Ruxun anxiously pulled Yang Caiyun into his arms and hugged her tightly, afraid that he would lose her. In any case, Xiao Ruxun would never have thought that Yang Caiyun would actually dare to wear armor and go up the city wall to help in the battle. She even brought along a few frail-looking maids to go up the city wall. Wasn't this nonsense?
Yang Caiyun blushed and only smiled. Seeing that Xiao Ruxun was fine, she held onto Xiao Ruxun's hand tightly.
"I will be wherever my husband is. If anything happens to my husband, I will not live alone!"
These words caused Xiao Ruxun, who already had a chance of winning, to tear up. He hugged Yang Caiyun's petite body tightly in his arms and stared fixedly at the rebel army's main camp in front of him. The determination in his heart grew stronger.
The attack on the city had once again suffered a setback. However, Mighty Rabbit and Bo Yun, who had received the specific news, looked at each other and smiled. The plot had succeeded! The woman had been forced to go up the city wall!
This city would be breached!
In the afternoon, the attacks of the East and North City suddenly increased. Only the South City did not increase their attacks.
It was nearing sunset. Both sides were extremely tired. The real battle was just about to begin.
One thousand hidden soldiers under Bo Yun and two thousand cavalry under Mighty Rabbit had unexpectedly appeared outside the South City, where the Ming Army's defenses were extremely weak. Looking at the two giant battering rams that had been prepared, Bo Yun and Mighty Rabbit nodded in unison.
The curtain of the plot had suddenly opened!
Bo Yun and Mighty Rabbit personally led three thousand rebel soldiers and suddenly launched a high-speed attack on the South City's wall. The South Pass of Pinglu City had an earth wall and a dam gate. Other than the city wall, there was also an inner city gate. It was equivalent to a triple gate. However, as long as one gate was breached, they would be able to rush into the city and fight along the moat to the back of the West City. This meant that once the earth wall was breached, the South City would lose two gates. The last inner city gate was naturally not a problem.
The two giant battering rams were each carried by 16 people. Under the protection of the shield soldiers, they rushed towards the city gate. The small number of Ming Army soldiers guarding the city did not even have time to react. Under the dark sky, the Ming Army soldiers were also somewhat slack. In the past, the rebel army would retreat at sunset. Who knew that they would launch an attack at this time? Caught off guard, they were covered by a rain of arrows and ran to ask for help.
The two giant battering rams rumbled towards the city gate. The South City was originally an earth wall. It was not hard enough. After a few rounds, the earth began to peel off. Bo Yun roared loudly, "Break the city!!!"
As if it had received encouragement, the battering ram suddenly exerted force. Three consecutive battering rams followed by a huge collapse. The South City's earth wall was broken!
"Brothers! Charge!!! "
Three thousand soldiers surged into the earth wall like a tide and launched a surprise attack towards the South City gate. The South City gate could not be defended in time. In just a quarter of an hour, it was broken again. The situation was extremely critical!
"Charge!!!"
Bo Yun and Mighty Rabbit were in a killing frenzy. They led the troops and charged forward fiercely. However, they did not notice anything out of place. Before the inner city gate, the rebel army was about to launch their final charge to break through the city.
At the gates of the inner city, just as the rebel army was about to launch their final charge to break through the city, there was suddenly the sound of cannons. A large number of banners were raised on the four city walls. A large number of Ming soldiers suddenly stood up and shouted. Black holes of cannons appeared on the four city walls. Without a word, they opened fire. Then, cannon soldiers appeared on the four city walls. The black holes of the cannons were pointed downwards. One round of firing, two rounds of firing. The rebel soldiers below the city walls were killed until their horses were thrown off their feet. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Bo Yun was dumbfounded. He did not even notice the cannon fire. He only stared blankly at the flag on the South City wall until a sharp pain in his right arm woke him up.
Looking down, Bo Yun realized that his right arm had been hit by a lead bullet. Blood was gushing out and he was in excruciating pain!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Like a wounded beast, Si Yun looked up to the sky and howled.
Mighty Rabbit almost immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap. He, who had suffered at the hands of the Han people too many times, instinctively wanted to call for his soldiers to retreat. However, there were too many rebel soldiers. They filled up the space between the two city gates and the city gates. Those in front wanted to escape, but those at the back did not have the time to react. There was no time for them to escape. It was a mess under the crowd. The two city gates and the four city walls were all ambushed by the Ming Army. There was a large number of archers and cannon soldiers. There was also an unknown number of cannons that swooped down and fired.
This only increased the chaos in the rebel army. The soldiers at the back pushed the soldiers at the front. They did not even hesitate to step on each other. They had completely lost their composure. They only wanted to escape from this place of death. Many of the rebel soldiers and captives were not killed. They were trampled to death. It was truly frustrating. There were even some captives who had lost their minds and urged their horses to charge forward. Who knew how many comrades they had killed?
However, when someone finally rushed out of the mud wall, he discovered that the nightmare was not over. Opposite them was a black mass of Ming Army. They were waiting in formation. The black muzzles were aimed at them. Zhao Hu raised his machete with a dark expression. Wang Hui immediately gave the order, "Cannon soldiers, open fire! Cannoneers, fire! Fire! "
