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

Illumination bombs have been developed and equipped with troops, but instead of being fired from cannons or muskets, they are made like hand grenades, lit with a fuse and thrown by hand.

When the smoke-emitting flares exploded on the grass, they exploded into a dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.

At the moment when the fire was shining, the two secret sentries saw that the grass not far away was full of dense black shadows, like ghosts at night, moving quietly towards the city.

"Enemy attack!"

The two secret sentries shouted loudly to call the police. At the same time, they pulled out the left-hand pistols inserted in their waists and pointed the triggers toward the sky.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

Six crisp gunshots broke the silent night and woke up the people and soldiers in the city.

The sound of gunshots was the order to fight. All the soldiers wrapped in marching blankets quickly grabbed their guns and jumped up, entering the position and getting ready.

Under the city, a large number of soldiers armed with weapons emerged from the hidden soldier pits and ran up the stone steps to the top of the city. There were three people per wall. After standing still, they began to load ammunition and prepare for battle.

In order to ensure the continuous firing of the platoon guns, arrangements had been made beforehand, and some grenadiers were also arranged to have grenades ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

All the gunners of the artillery battalion also entered the artillery positions and were on standby. During the day's battle, all the cannons of the rebels were destroyed, so they did not have to worry about being bombarded by the rebels.

Outside the city, the rebels who were almost approaching the city were stunned for more than ten seconds after the gunfire rang out at the top of the city. Then they broke out with loud shouts and launched an attack on the city in the dark.

It is true that almost all the rebels could not see in the dark, but with their high fighting spirit and instinct, they marched in the dark and cautiously approached the city step by step.

Fortunately, there was no moon tonight, it was pitch black, and the wind was strong, which not only covered his figure well, but also covered up the strange noises he made when he accidentally stepped on something while walking.

However, when there were still more than a hundred steps away from the city, the alert whistle seemed to hear some strange noise, or it was an instinct, and then threw out a flare to check, and finally found that the rebels were really coming to steal the city, so they shouted and fired in time Call the police.

The three thousand death-defying troops of the rebel army were led by Ai Nengqi, one of Zhang Xianzhong's four generals. Seeing that he was discovered by the vigilant officers and soldiers and failed to steal the city, he hesitated for more than ten seconds and then ordered a storm.

He and Liu Wenxiu were good buddies. Liu Wenxiu died in battle. He put the blame on Qin Liangyu and wanted to break through Chengdu City, cut off Qin Liangyu's head and avenge Liu Wenxiu.

Of course, Ai Nengqi is not a reckless and impulsive person. He has his own ideas. Now he is only more than a hundred steps away from the city. He can rush to the city with a few runs and set up a long ladder as fast as possible. Maybe he can The white pole army was caught off guard.

Another thing is that he also has something to rely on. Behind him, more than 130 divine fire flying crows built by logistics craftsmen overnight have been set up. Once launched, they will not only provide him with cover, but also provide white poles with The army creates chaos.

The Shenhuo Flying Crow is the Ming Dynasty version of the rocket. However, it does not explode when it lands. Instead, it emits choking poisonous smoke. However, the poisonous smoke does not poison people to death. It only smokes people so that they cannot open their eyes and makes you cough. In short, it is very uncomfortable and loses combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong also dispatched more than 200 remaining archers to provide him with arrows to cover them and suppress the white-pole archers and musketeers at the top of the city.

Bang bang bang...

Gunfire like firecrackers rang out from the top of the city, and the charging rebels screamed and fell down from time to time. However, under the command of General Ai Nengqi, the rebels continued to charge forward fearlessly.

On the grass not far behind the charging rebels, Zhang Xianzhong, who was invisible in the darkness and surrounded by a large group of guards, looked ahead nervously. When he saw that the rebels' siege ladder had reached the city wall, he beat his thigh in excitement. .

"Send me fire and flying crows."
