Chapter 100 Hengyang(2/2)

The Ming Army's eighteen 3,000-pound general cannons arrived from the Xiang River. These general cannons were imitated from the Hongyi cannons and were powerful weapons for siege.

The Ming army set up eighteen forts and transported one hundred and fifty artillery carriages, divided into three rows of fifty vehicles each. They fired solid and explosive shells at Hengyang Nancheng day and night.

The Ming army's tidal attack receded, and the Qing army repelled another Ming army attack.

Two hours of bombardment, two hours of siege, the cycle went on and on. Even at night, the Ming army sent small groups to harass the defenders and not allow them to rest.

The fighting lasted for another six days, with both sides suffering thousands more casualties.

The south city wall of Hengyang is like a piece of tattered clothing. There are big holes everywhere on the wall. The turrets, string towers, and arrow stacks were all badly smashed.

What's even more frightening is that several sections of the city wall were blown down, and the defenders had to use sacks and wooden fences to seal the gaps.

The thick smoke rising from the fierce battle filled the entire Hengyang City. The bloody setting sun, the flags and flags of the Qing army generals, were broken and tattered, weak, and seemed to fall down in an instant.

On the city wall, there are dead bodies lying on the ground, and no one has cleaned them up. The thick smell of blood and sweat is mixed with each other, filling the air, making it pungent and unpleasant.

"Gah, gah, gah"

Groups of vultures flew up to the top of the city, eating carrion. The defenders looked on blankly, but had no strength to drive them away.

Zhu Hengjia put down his telescope and the time has come for a general attack.

"The city will be destroyed today, which general is willing to attack first?"

"I will go there eventually!"

All the generals are eager to fight.

Zhu Hengjia nodded, his eyes falling on the fallen general of the Daxi Army, En Ping Bo Gao Minggui.

Gao Minggui's 10,000 subordinates, who are responsible for escorting grain and grass, have just arrived. They have not fought a battle so far. They are well organized and have a strong force.

Zhu Hengjia ordered: "General Gao, you can only make contributions to the country today!"

Gao Minggui flushed with excitement: "The final general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the supervisory country!"

The loud war drums beat, and Zhu Hengjia's dragon scroll appeared at the foot of the city.

"Ten thousand victories!" "Ten thousand victories!" "Ten thousand victories!"

The Ming army shouted and ascended the city from the gap and ladders.

The screams and screams were touching. The strong figures of the soldiers undulated like waves. From their mouths, they let out earth-shattering shouts of killing.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The deafening shouts of death are the best motivation. The fear of death has faded away, leaving only the confidence to win.

Arrows were flying in the air, bullets were flying wildly, and soldiers kept falling to the ground, but they could not shake the Ming army's determination to storm the city.

"Go to hell!"

Gao Minggui boarded the city and cut down an enemy general with one sword. He then slashed a few more times and killed several enemies in a row. He rushed to the big flag with the word "Qing" and cut it in pieces.

Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, Zhao Yinxuan, Qin Yuchun, Hu Yiqing, Yao Youxing, Yang Fuchen, and Wu Chengzong all came to the city subsequently.
