Chapter 231 Leizhou City is destroyed (please subscribe!)

In fact, the strength of Leizhou City is even worse than that of Guangzhou City.

There are all kinds of urns, moats, inner and outer cities, and horns. If you use cold weapons, it will be difficult to defeat such a fortress-like existence.

Fortunately, Leizhou garrison Liu Liang had many soldiers under his command. They formed a supervising team and forced the deserters to continue going up the city wall to shoot at the Ming Guards.

There was no other way, so the green battalion gunners had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue shooting.

The Hongyi cannon on the city wall of Leizhou Prefecture is fired as if it costs nothing. Even if it misses, it still blasts indiscriminately.

They continued to attack in the direction where the previous artillery shells came from. However, the Guards' mortars had already changed positions, and their efforts were in vain!

At this time, there were only 5,000 green soldiers in the city. Even after gathering Xu Wen's defeated troops, 5,000 soldiers were already the largest number of troops in Liu Liang's hands.

You must know that in Guangdong during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the number of Qing soldiers under the jurisdiction of Leizhou garrison was only a thousand. That is to say, now that the Ming Dynasty has risen and occupied Qiongzhou Prefecture, the number of Qing soldiers in Leizhou Peninsula has increased.

However, this small force was dwarfed by the number of "thieves" under the city.

Liu Liang just made an observation and found that there were at least 40,000 people. Even in a city defense battle, the absolute disadvantage of this kind of force would make it difficult to fight.

Therefore, Liu Liang abandoned the supervising team and turned around to continuously recruit a large number of regiments and train troops in the city.

But no matter how bright it is on the city wall, the world in the wild is completely dark, except for the lights of the camp opposite.

On the city wall, many people finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Ming army's infantry was so easy to kill. Even Liu Liang, who was under the most pressure, also let out a long breath.

The tactics of adding fuel to the fire caused the Qing army to be defeated in despair.

If the weapons in the city were not limited, he felt that he should recruit more strong men, which was a pity.

If the Ming army has this kind of fighting power, then there is a chance to wait for reinforcements from the Guangzhou General Mansion!

Using the ladder, each of them almost charged forward with a large wooden shield on his head, desperately climbing up.

The rule of the Qing Dynasty in Leizhou was already weak, and the military pay was withheld by the officials. These soldiers did not want to sacrifice their lives for a little money.

The Guards in the distance were also providing fire support to the Johoreans.

Seeing that the first wave of provocations from the Johor garrison was about to be suppressed by the Qing army, Qin Zhiguo calmly sent out a second wave of 10,000 Johor soldiers.

Only a few regiments are left training and still fighting.

Bonfires were constantly burning on the Leizhou city wall, and there were several green soldiers or temporary strong men standing on each section. Occasionally, a patrol team passed by to inspect the status of the Qing soldiers standing guard.

Seeing that he was discovered, the indigenous commander of the Johor garrison immediately broke the jar and ordered:

But just as they were setting up the ladder, the rockets on the top of the city were immediately shot out. Under the command of Liu Liang, countless rockets focused on the Johor soldiers who were carrying the ladder without hesitation.

The scene of the great escape made Liu Liang, the guard of Leizhou City, jump with anger.

Accompanied by the rapid sound of horns and cannons, the green battalion soldiers in the city were finally awakened. They gathered on the city wall one after another. The responsible Leizhou garrison immediately climbed onto the city wall.

Countless ladders charged under the clamor of the Johor people. The Johor people finally climbed to the top of the city of Leizhou Prefecture and started a fierce battle with the Qing army!

The people of Johor are not good with muskets, but they are brave enough to fight in hand-to-hand combat and are not afraid of death.

The people of Johor blew the horn of charge. Facing the hail of bullets and volleys of bows and arrows from the Green Battalion, they spent more than 500 people to carry the ladder to the city wall.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Qin Zhiguo launched an order for a general attack.

Liu Liang could only bet that the Guards' artillery shells were limited, otherwise he would not be able to hold on for a few days. He had already sent people to the Guangzhou General Mansion for help. Under the night, he sighed, not knowing how long he could hold on.

"The guard master is dead! Let's run away!"

The Johor garrison wore simple armor, and the first wave of night attacks consisted of 5,000 troops.

In fact, they came to consume the ammunition of the Green Battalion soldiers, and the Johor garrison soldiers did not have much armor to protect themselves. Even if they had wooden shields to resist, under the defense of the Green Battalion, many Johorese people were killed without even reaching the city wall.

Killed.

The green soldiers on the top of the city were human beings after all. They had been tired all day long and faced a large number of Johoreans, so they finally collapsed.

As night fell, the Guards did not use their full strength. Leizhou City barely managed to hold on for the first day after suffering more than a thousand casualties.

Although sometimes the cannonballs are indistinguishable from the enemy, because the two sides have become a mess on the city wall, and it is impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

But it doesn't matter. When the Johor garrison is used up, we will go to Johor Province to gather them again.

Boom boom boom.

The green battalion gunners reacted and quickly aimed their red cannon at the Johorese people below.

Zhu Kezang said that more of these Nanyang natives should be consumed. Qin Zhiguo faithfully understood the spirit of Zhu Kezang's instructions, otherwise he would have captured them with all his strength during the day.

Only those who have soldiers are the grass-headed kings, so they quickly took their men and fled for their lives.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

They moved forward cautiously and cautiously, heading straight towards the city wall of Leizhou Prefecture.

At this moment, a mortar shell flew down, hit his feet accurately, and then exploded violently, blowing him away.

His goal was to increase the number of defenders in the city to at least 10,000, otherwise there would be no chance of victory.

"attack!"

After paying hundreds more corpses, the Johor garrison finally set up several ladders.

For a moment, the soldiers ignored the shields in their hands in order to set up the ladder. Without protection, they immediately suffered heavy casualties.

"Are you still here waiting to die?"

"Warriors! Welcome death with our chests! Follow me to attack the city!"

The Johor garrison was very careful, but the Qing army was not a vegetarian either. They soon discovered the sparse presence of Johor people.

Liu Liang was so angry that he hacked several deserters to death with his sword. However, this was of no avail. More and more soldiers fled.

The Johor Garrison Army, which has been resting for a whole day, is finally about to appear.

"Run away quickly! There are too many people on the other side, and they are all monsters who are not afraid of death!"

The green camp soldiers left without hesitation, and those General Qian who had sneaked in with money, General Ma, did not care at this moment and abandoned the city wall.

Qin Zhiguo looked at the scene in front of him with a telescope and couldn't help but sigh: "Those who look like militiamen are actually more desperate than the regular Tatar army!"

It's a pity that no matter how strong the fighting will of the regiment training soldiers is, they can't compete with the pig-like teammates and the huge number of Johor people and artillery shells.

Amidst the rumbling artillery fire, the city wall was quickly captured by the Johor garrison with ease.

The city gate was also opened by the Johor people, and the Guards entered the city in an orderly manner and continued the battle.
