Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Send the order and conquer Chengdu, and the men will be happy for seven days. Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and ordered to continue the attack.

Seeing helplessly the thousands of archers he had finally assembled suffered heavy losses due to a barrage of artillery fire from the government army, which made him very heartbroken, and made his face turn black with anger. An order to plunder for seven days.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This is indeed true. All the rebel soldiers seemed to be pumped with chicken blood. They were all excited and their potential was stimulated tenfold and a hundred times. They followed one after another and launched a crazy attack on the city bravely and fearlessly. The attack was massive and very scary.

If the Baigan Army alone were to defend the city and fight hand-to-hand combat with the rebels whose combat power had doubled, they would definitely feel the pressure. However, with the help of the 5,000 musketeers from the Sichuan Army Camp to defend the city, the Baigan Army would not feel the slightest pressure.

As the old saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, even if you are the best martial arts master in the world, a bullet can easily defeat you. Even if the rebel army explodes with thousands of times its potential, your flesh and blood body will still be useless in front of the bullet. So fragile.

On a certain section of the city wall, swordsmen and hands holding long ladders scrambled to climb up.

On the top of the city, several soldiers from the Sichuan Army Camp looked down at the city, and then calmly and calmly threw down the smoking grenades.

Several violent explosions rang out, and the muddy ground was covered with corpses of rebel soldiers. The injured ones were struggling and screaming miserably. If they were not removed and bandaged in time to stop the bleeding, they would surely die from excessive blood loss over time.

Even if the wound is bandaged in time to stop the bleeding, given the current conditions of the rebels, it will be extremely difficult to remove the shrapnel from the body through surgery. Even if the shrapnel is successfully removed, there is a high probability of wound infection. It is estimated that not many people can crawl out of the hell.

After the thousands of archers of the rebel army were smashed to pieces by the artillery of the Sichuan Army camp, there was no threat of arrows. The defenders on the city all breathed a sigh of relief, and each one boldly stuck out his head, or threw thundering rocks and rolling logs. , smashing the rebel soldiers to death and wounding under the city, or several people working together, using fork poles to push down the long ladder leaning against the city wall, causing the rebel soldiers who were clinging to the long ladder to fall to pieces with their hands and feet broken, and the miserable screams could not be heard.

Such battle scenes were staged throughout the fierce city attack and defense. The rebels who were on the offensive side suffered heavy casualties, while the officers and soldiers defending the city not only did not have much pressure, but even the casualties were so small that they could be ignored. Most of them just consumed their physical strength. and various weapons for defending the city.

With sophisticated muskets, close-combat weapon grenades, new troops trained in new tactics, coupled with long range, high lethality of artillery shells, and fire support provided by artillery who also mastered new tactics, this time the city defense battle has subverted traditional close combat. The brutal hand-to-hand fighting was a complete one-sided massacre.

The rebels launched more than a dozen waves of crazy attacks into the city, but the city remained motionless. It was not until the sun went down that the rebels withdrew their troops and returned to camp, and the first day's brutal siege came to an end.

Zhang Xianzhong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot when he looked at the corpses lying on the ground in various forms of death. They were all his men. There was no need to wait for the battle damage report to be reported. A rough estimate showed that there were at least 2,000 to 3,000 casualties. .

Qin Liangyu, I and you are at odds with each other!

Contrary to Zhang Xianzhong's anger, there was joy and laughter in the Chengdu General's Mansion.

In order to thank the friendly troops for their help, Qin Liangyu held a banquet in the general's mansion. The emperor's royal advisor Gu Junming, the regiment commander and battalion commander of the Sichuan Army Camp were all invited to drink.

In this battle, the Sichuan Army Camp used new tactics that subverted traditional defensive warfare, which not only shocked Qin Liangyu and all the officers of the Baigan Army, but also admired them.

If we follow the traditional defensive battle, the White Army must fight hand-to-hand with the rebels. No matter how brave and tenacious the White Army is, the Rebels are not bad. After a fierce battle, there will be at least thousands of casualties. But today's fierce battle has caused more than 1,000 casualties. There were only about a hundred people, and most of them were injured. After being cured, they were alive and kicking again.

It’s impossible not to admire them.

Qin Liangyu was strict in his military management. Although it was a banquet, there was not a pot of wine on the table. It was all tea. Tea was used instead of water. There was plenty of big fish and meat, so you could eat whatever you wanted.

Everyone is from Sichuan, and some of the officers are Qin Liangyu's nephews. They are comrades and fellow countrymen. They are not unfamiliar at all. They all eat openly, chatting and laughing happily while eating meat. It is very lively.

General Qin, don't be careless. With Zhang Xianzhong's temperament, it is estimated that he will attack tonight.
